Unexpected – Prompt #64 - Fall

"Give it back! Ash!" Mary-Lynette lunged again for the book as her boyfriend lifted it easily out of her reach yet again. She considered kicking him, but he seemed to have figured out the train of her thoughts because he suddenly lifted her up and flung her over his shoulders!

"Jerk!" she protested, pounding his back with her fists. "Let me down, Ash Redfern, or I swear I'll make you sorry-!"

She twisted against him, trying to manoeuvre her legs around so she could aim for his groin but Ash laughed, ignoring her cries, swinging them around in a circle before suddenly jumping out of the bedroom window!

Mary-Lynette screamed, then gasped as she felt a great jerk upwards; they'd landed on the ground outside safely and without Ash losing his balance. He gently took hold of her waist and set her down, handing her book back and winking.

"You could really use this book's advice, Mare," was his parting remark as he turned and headed back towards the house, one hand casually slipping into his back pocket as he walked.

She watched him go back inside, unsure of whether to follow him and yell some more or stay where she was in case he tried another stupid stunt like that. She sighed, glancing down at the book cover, wondering what he had meant, and then snorted at the irony. Expect the Unexpected.

She looked up just as Ash turned to look at her, a smile playing about his lips. She set the book down and ran up to him suddenly, kissing him, arms wrapped tightly about his body. When he stared at her afterwards, she merely shrugged innocently and returned the wink he had given her.

Looks like you could do with following that advice, too, she murmured coyly, going back inside and smiling when he followed her closely behind.

They paused at the entrance to the guest room where she was staying for two nights and Mary-Lynette turned to look up at him. Ash leaned forward, pressing her against the door and kissed her, drawing her lips out softly and biting them gently so she gasped.

Maybe, he smiled, we can teach each other.

You got something else to shock me with? she enquired softly, slipping her hands up under his shirt and holding him to her.

I might have, he replied, lowering his head so he could trail kisses across her collarbone and neck slowly.

Show me. she told him before reaching behind her back and turning the knob of the door, dragging him inside by his shirt, smiling.
