Chapter 9: In the Bathtub/Sexy Seduction
Andros ran a soapy washrag down Ashley's back as they sat in the bathtub twenty-five minutes later. He hummed a sweet tune as he moved it upward. She looked up, sighing in content. He ran it downward once more. He ducked it in the water. He splashed her back while running it upward, which washed off the soap. She peered over her shoulder at him.
"Thanks for washing me," she said sweetly.
"You're welcome," he said and slid the washrag over her upper back. "It's the least I could do after you washed me. Come to think of it. This is rather interesting."
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "In what way?"
"We took a shower together this morning. Now, we're having a bath together," Andros commented. "Who would've thought that would've happened?"
"I don't know, but I love that it happened," Ashley giggled.
Andros stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. "So do I."
"If we go on a trip to a cabin with our friends, we're locking the door when we go into a room by ourselves," Ashley whispered seriously yet mischievously.
"Oh, I like that idea," Andros replied, wiggling his eyebrows. "We could stay in that room for a long time doing you-know-what."
"Unfortunately, that would annoy the others, especially Cassie. She fusses at me when I take longer than she likes in her bathroom during our get-togethers," Ashley muttered, making a weird noise. "On top of that, we don't want our friends to find out about our sexual involvement." She let out a painful wince.
"They will eventually. So will our families. So what if they do? I love making love with you," Andros whispered seductively. He put the washrag aside.
"So do I," Ashley agreed. "By the way, my parents booked a hotel room to stay at overnight for Thursday. You want to come over to my house for some time alone?"
"I'd like that very much," Andros answered, touching her cheek with his thumb. "I get dibs on the remote." He stifled a snicker.
"In your dreams," Ashley retorted playfully.
He smirked. "I know you like seeing me in your dreams. I have little doubt you will have some steamy ones about us before we made love for the first time last night."
Ashley blushed such a deep shade of red that she looked like a cherry. She giggled at her boyfriend tickling her neck. The redness faded from her face. They shared a kiss.
"So, how about I cook us breakfast for supper when I come over to your house on Thursday?" Andros asked, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend.
"I'd love that," Ashley responded, love echoing from her voice.
He smiled warmly. "Great. The best part is I don't have to be home until ten-thirty."
"Neither do I whenever I go out. Of course, my curfew an hour later on the weekends," she pointed out.
"So is mine. We are so lucky for that," he said, letting out a contented sigh.
She chuckled to herself. "Yep, yep, yep."
"If you say that line one more time, you'll become Ducky, Ashley," Andros warned in a playful manner.
"I'd love to be Ducky," Ashley commented and turned around. "You can be Petrie."
"Me no know," Andros said in Petrie's voice. He cleared his throat. "Nice imitation of Petrie, don't you think?"
She gave him a thumbs-up. He wrapped his arms around her a little more tightly before kissing her cheek again. He rocked her from side to side.
"I have to say that Karone is damn lucky to have The Land Before Time soundtrack. It's not real common," Andros said, rubbing Ashley's arms.
"She just happened to find it in that clearance bin at Harrison's Music Shop while we and Zhane were looking at CDs four months ago. She really wanted to have it since she loved the music from the film so much," Ashley explained.
"She was so excited to have it that she started listening to it the second we got home. Sometimes, I see her listening to it while she is studying," Andros said, smiling lightly.
"Neat," Ashley said, bringing her hands up to his arm.
"Yeah," Andros agreed. "What's great about being up is that we don't have to hear Brian's off-key singing." He became disgusted. "He sounds like a rake being dragged down a chalkboard."
"You said it. Every time someone tells him he's bad at singing, he writes them off being jealous of his 'great' voice," Ashley mumbled, rolling her eyes.
"Veronica says the same thing. She even flipped us off when we told her that once," Andros added.
"I wanted to take that finger and shove it up her ass," Ashley hissed in some anger. "That girl has no sense of civility whatsoever."
"No shit, Sherlock," Andros muttered and scoffed in annoyance. "I have to say that I'm glad we're here for the weekend. We don't have to worry about adults getting on our cases for saying curse words." He became a little tense.
"I remember when I overheard Mom say fuck after she accidentally cut her finger while chopping onions for spaghetti. I was eight years old. I went to Dad and asked him what it meant. He was horrified and demanded to know where I heard that. I told him I overheard Mom saying it. He went to her and chewed her out. They explained to me it was a crude curse word that should never be uttered by anyone. They told me to promise I'd never say it again. I did. Then they grounded me by sending me to bed early. I haven't said it since, except to myself or when I'm with you guys," Ashley whispered, slipping locks of hair behind her ears.
"Good for you. Your parents don't need to hear you talking like that," Andros answered and stopped rocking her. He patted her shoulder before giving it a light kiss.
"Well, they won't be able to stop me from cursing after I move out of the house into a college dorm. They can't exactly call and demand to know if I've been saying curse words," Ashley pointed out.
"That's true," Andros agreed, running his fingers through her hair. "Until then, we just have to be careful with what we say."
Ashley winked at Andros, laughing at his pinching her cheek. She looked ahead, closing her eyes.
"Let's get back to talking about singing," she suggested.
"Great idea. We have five wonderful singers in our circle of friends. They are Kim, Kat, Aisha, Tanya, and Cassie," he said and moved his hands to her shoulders.
"It'd be wonderful to hear them sing together one day," Ashley commented, sighing in warmness. She opened her eyes.
"I think they'd make a great band," Andros said and sang nonsense. He moved his head from side to side.
"You just had to start singing nonsense, didn't you?" Ashley growled in playfulness.
"What can I say?" Andros said, giving a shrug and laughing. "It's fun singing nonsense."
"Yes, it is, but it's not as fun as doing this," Ashley said and turned around to kiss him passionately. Her tongue touched his, making him moan in pleasure. She reached down to grab his cock. She stroked it very slowly. She groaned in frustration when he grabbed her wrists and broke the kiss. "What are you doing?"
"No offense, Ash, but I really don't want to do it in the bathtub right now," Andros whispered regretfully. He cupped her chin in his hand. "What I want is my surprise."
Ashley smiled and kissed his cheek twice. She didn't want to deny him his surprise anymore.
"Okay. I'm ready to give it to you," Ashley said, snorting. "Why don't you go downstairs and get a fire going? I'll get it for you in a few minutes."
"That sounds good to me," Andros said, winking at her. She moved back, allowing him to get out of the bathtub. "If there's one thing that's clear, it's this bath was very relaxing."
Ashley folded her arms on the rim and laid her head on them. She watched Andros pick up a towel laying on the stool and dry himself off with it. She felt her heart rate quickening. It was taking all of her strength not to get out of the bathtub and kiss him like there was no tomorrow, which would probably lead them to making love on the floor in here. She didn't mind doing that, however. She was willing to try lovemaking anywhere.
He finished drying himself off and tied the towel around his waist. She saw him head out of the bathroom. She closed her eyes, sighing in content. She believed he would love the surprise she had in store for him. She was surprised he hadn't tried to guess what it was. Then again, she was glad he hadn't as it meant he wanted her to show it to him. She grabbed the washrag and slid it over her arm.

A fire was burning brightly in the living room fireplace ten minutes later. Andros lay on his back on the same blanket he and Ashley made love on last night. He had his hands behind his head. He listened to the embers popping. He let out a quiet yet impatient sigh. He wondered when she would be coming downstairs. He wanted to see his surprise so badly.
Footsteps caught his attention. He sat up to see her coming down the stairs. He could see she was wearing a blue robe. She slowed down her pace, as she got closer to the bottom. He chuckled, knowing that she was teasing him. She finally got there and made her way over to him. She stopped before him, looking him straight in the eye.
"So, where's my surprise?" he asked curiously.
"Here it comes," she answered, giggling. "Prepare to be dazzled."
She untied her robe. She opened it, showing she was wearing a very revealing pink nightie that came down to mid-thigh and showed off her cleavage. He saw she was wearing pink underwear through it. He swallowed hard, his breathing coming out in pants. He felt his heartbeat quicken as well as his cock harden. She held her arms down, her robe falling at a pool at her feet. She smiled seductively at him.
"Shit. You look so damn sexy in that thing," Andros whispered huskily.
"It's Victoria's Secret," Ashley said, getting into his lap. "I got it at a lingerie store that sells the brand." She slid her arms around his neck.
"Good choice," Andros responded. He felt tempted to rip her nightie and underwear off and ravish her body with his mouth, but he wouldn't do that. He wanted to savor being with her.
"The best part is Mom and Dad don't know about it," Ashley whispered, pressing her forehead against his. "I told them I was going to buy a couple of pairs of underwear."
"You sneaky little vixen," Andros growled intensely. "I like it."
"Good," Ashley whispered, her breathing becoming heavy. "You're mine."
She kissed him with great passion. She slid her hands into his hair, grabbing fistfuls of it. He moved one hand into hers and the other to the small of her back. Their tongues wrestled for control, and they moaned into each other's mouths. Her heartrate sped up to match his. Electricity jolted up and down their spines before going through their bodies at a rapid rate.
She trailed her lips to his ear. She nibbled on the earlobe gently at first, but she increased the pressure on it. He emitted a soft groan, moving his hands to her shoulders. He gripped them as if he couldn't hang on to anything else. She nuzzled his jawline and kissed her way to his neck. She alternated between licking at and sucking on it. He tilted his head to the side to give her better access. He sighed in much ecstasy.
Andros winced painfully at Ashley's biting down on his neck. He sighed in much relief when the pain faded. He hoped a mark would be there the next morning. In fact, he didn't mind if she left marks all over his body in the least bit. All that mattered was they were together and that nothing could keep them apart right now.
Ashley pulled away from Andros's neck and stared him in the eye. Her hands seemed to have a mind of their own as they went to the hem of his blue t-shirt. She began to move it upward. He held up his arms, allowing her to remove it. She threw it over her shoulder, not caring where it landed. She captured his lips in a possessive kiss. She stroked his chest, stomach, back, arms. She traced every muscle that lined them. She pushed him down on the blanket.
She moved her lips to his neck, smothering it with hungry kisses. She went to his earlobe to tease it with her tongue. He couldn't stop a whimper from leaving his mouth. She pulled away to kiss him hard. She pushed her tongue past his lips and touched his. She smiled when she heard ecstatic moan come from him. She slid her hands up and down his body so slowly that it seemed she wasn't even moving them. She trailed kisses down to his chest. She alternated between licking at and sucking on the spot over his heart. He squeezed his eyes shut, his breathing coming out in pants.
She returned to his lips for a hard kiss, her tongue teasing his. She rolled his nipples in her hands, making them hard to her touch. She leaned down to take his left nipple into her mouth. He growled intensely when she sucked on it. He arched his back, his hands grabbing at the blanket tightly. His growl became louder at her rolling his nipple with her tongue. He opened his eyes, clenching his teeth.
She lavished the right nipple with the same amount attention. He moaned in pleasure and rolled his head back into the pillow. He increased his grip on the blanket. She kissed him with much passion. Their tongues became engaged in a fight for control. They groaned into each other's mouths. They hugged each other tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Oh, God. Ashley," Andros whispered, his voice lined with seduction.
Ashley kissed his neck hungrily. "Yes, Andros. Yes."
The lovebirds became engaged in another passionate kiss. Andros turned his and Ashley's bodies until he was on top of her and in between her legs. He broke their lip lock to smother her neck with hungry kisses. She ran her fingers through his hair, tilting her head to the side. She sighed in delight as he licked at her earlobe. She felt the familiar fire building within her veins, as did he in his.
He slid his thumb under the left strap of her nightie. He pulled it off her shoulder, exposing her nipple. He teased the nipple, feeling it harden underneath his touch. He leaned down and took it into his mouth to suck on it. She screamed in ecstasy, her head rolling back into the pillow. She got louder when he bit down on it and rolled it with his tongue. His other hand moved up to the right strap and pulled it down to reveal her other nipple. He teased it, making it harden.
Andros took Ashley's other nipple into his mouth, sucking on it. She was unable to keep a whimper from escaping her mouth. Her hands went to the blanket, grabbing at them in a tight manner. Her grip tightened when he bit down on her nipple and rolled it with his tongue. She felt his lips on hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his weight down on top of her. He pulled away from her and grabbed the straps. He pulled her nightie down her body until it was completely off. He tossed it aside.
He grabbed the waistband of her underwear and pulled it down her legs very slowly. She smiled as she could tell he was teasing her. He threw it away once it was off. He kissed her once more while bringing a hand between them. He touched her wet folds and began to fondle them. She gasped softly. She moved her hips with his motions as he stroked her clit with his thumb. She screamed in ecstasy as she came. She became so lost in it that she forgot to breath.
Ashley's high ebbed away, a sated feeling going through her body. She kissed Andros passionately, turning their bodies until she was on top of him. He emitted a soft moan. She had to smile into his mouth. She broke the kiss and stared at his green shorts, finding his erection poking through them. She grabbed the waistband and pulled them and his white underwear off, seeing it spring free. She climbed back on top of him, giving him another kiss.
She took hold of his cock to stroke it gently. She got a soft groan from him. She twisted her hands around it slowly at first, but she went faster. He squeezed his eyes shut, emitting a loud whimper. She started to pump him. He growled intensely, his hands flying above him and grabbing at the pillow. He tore away from the kiss, staring into her eyes.
"Ashley, I've got to be inside you right now," Andros said, clenching his teeth.
"Okay," Ashley answered, releasing her hold on him. "Your wish is my command."
Ashley balanced herself on her hands and knees as Andros took himself in hand. She leaned down to kiss him as she started lowering herself. He held himself in hand until he felt her buttocks against it. She groaned at the feeling of his tip against her entrance. She didn't stop her descent until he was sheathed to the hilt. They moaned simultaneously as she began moving up and down on him. Her hands went above his shoulders, and he took hold of her hips and helped her move on him as he met her movements with his.
Her head flew back when he brought his hands to her breasts. He rubbed and pinched her nipples. She emitted an ecstatic scream when he took the right nipple into his mouth and rolled it with his tongue. Her boyfriend repeated his actions with the left one. She felt the fire climbing higher within her. She had no doubt it was just as intense in him.
Ashley kissed Andros on the lips again. She traveled to his ear and proceeded to nibble on it. He groaned loudly while laying his hands on her shoulders. She kissed down to his chest. She looked up at him. She rolled his nipples in her hands, smiling at a throaty groan coming from him. She took the left one in her mouth, sucking on it hard. He growled with great intensity. He anchored her head to him. He got louder as she lavished the same amount of attention on his right nipple.
Andros felt the fire within him reaching its peak. He brought his hand between him and Ashley to massage her clit. She emitted a pleasurable moan from her mouth. Her hands grabbed at the pillow. She closed her eyes with a soft whimper. They kissed long and hard, their tongues battling for control. They groaned into each other's mouths. She opened her eyes and tore away from his lips to stare into his.
"Andros, I can't—" Ashley started.
Andros sat up, grabbing his girlfriend's hips very roughly. He moved her harder and faster on him while thrusting up into her just as hard and fast. They were almost at their climax.
"Come for me, Ashley!" Andros commanded. "Come now!"
Ashley increased the speed of her movements. She leaned her head back as Andros took her right breast into his mouth and sucked on it. She moaned as her climax took her, triggering his. He bit down on her breast, coming with a muffled moan. Their bodies spasmed against each other. They hugged each other. Their breathing came out as hard pants.
Andros found himself unable to remain sitting up. He fell back onto the blanket, taking Ashley with him. She rolled off him and snuggled up to him. She rested her head on his chest. She sighed contently at his arms going around her. She traced her fingertips over his stomach, listening to his heartbeat. She blinked three times.
"Damn," she whispered, letting out a loud shudder. "Just when I thought making love couldn't get any better, it does."
"It's only going to get better from here on out," he said honestly.
Ashley sighed sadly, a tear falling down her cheek. "Unfortunately, we're going home tomorrow." She sniffled.
"I know, but there's Thursday evening to look forward to," Andros pointed out.
"Of course," Ashley whispered, smiling. "We'll be seeing each other at school on Monday too."
Andros nodded in agreement. "That's right. I have to admit that I will miss Angel Grove High after we graduate." He frowned.
"I will miss it too. It's been like a second home to me," Ashley commented.
"Then again, there's college to look forward to," Andros said, warmth echoing from his voice.
"Yep," Ashley agreed and removed her head from his chest. She looked at him. "Now, let's forget about everything for right now."
The lovebirds shared a series of soft kisses before engaging in a passionate one. Their heart rates quickened, and fire built up within their veins. Ashley climbed on top of Andros. She got her legs on either side of him. She kissed his jaw before nuzzling it. She traveled to his ear and nibbled on it. He emitted a throaty groan. He felt her lips on his again. He slid his hands into her hair in which he grabbed fistfuls of it.
Ashley moaned excitedly when she felt Andros slide his tongue into her mouth and touch hers. Her hands wandered up and down his sides. She grabbed his butt, giving it a hard squeeze. He groaned into her mouth. He sat up, keeping his grip on her hair. She grabbed his cock. He tore away from her lips, an intense growl coming from him. He stared into her eyes while she stroked his cock in a very slow manner.
"You're killing me," Andros said, his voice showing huskiness.
Ashley smiled in seduction. "I'm glad I am."
She captured his lips in a possessive kiss. He caressed her breasts, her nipples hardening at his touch. He planted gentle kisses along her neck. He alternated between licking and sucking on it. She screamed in much ecstasy while leaning her head back. The world faded around them as they proceeded to make love again.
