Chapter 36: All My Love

A few weeks after the incident, Leo was the best boyfriend Karone could ever ask for. They knew it would be awhile before Karone would be back to normal, if that. Andros especially knew what it was like, but he was thankful that Karone was only raped once and not constantly like he was. He never wanted this for Karone, and ever since he saved her from Elid, Andros vowed to destroy him.

One night, Ashley woke up to find Andros gone. "Not again," she whispered. She got out of bed and pulled on her boots and jacket. She didn't bother brushing out her hair, she was just going to get her boyfriend back into bed with her.

Ashley came on the bridge and saw Andros overworking again. "Andros," she called. She walked over and wrapped her arms around him. "You're overdoing it again," she told him. Andros sighed and leaned back against his chair. "And it's two in the morning," she added. He closed his eyes when she pressed her forehead against his.

"I need to find Elid," he answered.

"You need sleep."

Andros shook his head slightly and pulled her into his lap. "I need you," he answered. Ashley giggled when he pulled her into a kiss. He pulled her into his lap, his hands went inside of her jacket and sat on her waist. Her hands went up his shirt and traced the scars on his stomach. Andros groaned slightly and pulled her to him. Ashley giggled and pulled back.

"Not here," she giggled.

She got up from his lap and she pulled him to their room.

When they came to their room, Ashley opened the door to their room and went in first, then she grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and pulled him inside. They lost their jackets and Ashley had him pressed up against the wall. His shirt was gone and she found herself tracing the scars on his chest and stomach. Andros bit his tongue when she kissed the scars on his chest. He took off her shirt and caressed her skin, feeling the softness beneath his fingertips. Ashley closed her eyes and tilted her head back letting out a moan as he kissed his way down her body. She ran her fingers through his hair, feeling like she was in heaven. She took this chance, she reached for his belt and felt him stiffen. She kissed his ear, knowing that he was freaking out again. "Do you want to stop?" She asked. Andros was silent for a minute.

"No," he replied.

Andros closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip when she removed his belt and then his pants were gone. "You okay?" She asked. He nodded his head slowly.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied.

Ashley waited for him to make the next move, a sign that he was able to go on. She got her answer when he kissed her deeply, his tongue ran across her bottom lip before going into her mouth. "This is it…no turning back now," he pondered. Not that he wanted to turn back, the beautiful angel that was under him made it feel okay. Ashley always made it okay for Andros to be able to be who he wanted to be, but he never took the chance, now he was taking the plunge of trusting another woman besides his sister. Yes, this was right.

The rest of their clothes had been removed and were under the blankets. However, Andros couldn't help himself but touch every inch of her. He touched her soft skin with his slightly rough hands, just loving the feeling. Ashley sighed and arched her back slightly, and had her hands tangled in his striped hair. She pulled him up so she could look into his beautiful brown eyes and kissed him deeply. Andros closed his eyes and pushed back every fear he had as he entered her in one swift thrust so he wouldn't change his mind. Ashley moaned into the kiss before pulling back and kissed his shoulder. He started off slow, but after he got used to it and knowing that she was used to it, his pace started go a bit faster. Ashley tried her best not to dig her nails into his back from all the feelings that was shooting through her. Andros kissed her neck and entwined his fingers with hers. When he came, he collapsed onto his arms so she didn't have to deal with his weight. Ashley buried her head in his shoulder while they were both trying to catch their breath. "Wow…" she murmured. Andros rolled onto his back and Ashley placed her head on his chest.

"Just…wow…amazing…" he trailed off.

Ashley smiled and kissed his chest. "You okay?" She asked with the look of concern on her face. Andros touched her cheek with a smile.

"I'm fine," he replied.

"Good."

Ashley nuzzled his chest and held onto his hand. "Thank you," he murmured. She smiled and kissed his knuckles. She then touched the scar along his hairline.

"No need to thank me," she assured him.

Andros smiled and pulled Ashley onto him. "I love you," he murmured. Ashley pressed her forehead against his.

"I love you too…very…very much," she answered.

Ashley kissed him gently and Andros stroked her face. They pulled back and Ashley placed her head on his chest as they fell asleep.

(Elid's Palace)

Elid was pacing back and forth in his palace. "Karone's mine," he snapped. He picked up his sword and he threw it at the wall and embedded itself into the wooden pillar. Elid sneered. "Next time it'll be Leo," he hissed.
