CH 8
Ash came back to find Mare asleep on the couch with the t.v playing quietly in the background. Picking up in his arms he held her tight as he carried her upstairs and placed her into bed tucking her in warmly before sliding in next to her.
------
Mare was pulled from sleep by a pair of strong arms lifting her up and holding her tightly.
"Ash?" she whispered leaning into his body her eyes still closed
"It's ok Mare, it's time to go. It's still early though so you can still sleep"
Mare snuggled in closer to Ash's warm body as he carried her to the car and tucked her in with a blanket in the front seat. He gently kissed her forehead before moving around to his seat and starting the car to finish their journey.
------
It was late when Ash pulled into Thierry's mansion. Mare was already asleep in the seat next to him. He carefully picked her up and carried her up to his room and placed her into the bed kissing her before walking back out of the door to where Thierry was already waiting.
"She's staying with me" Ash stated not even letting Thierry get the chance to give her her own room.
"Ok" Thierry nodded accepting Ash's decision, it was fair enough after what had happened between the pair
Thierry left Ash to return to his room and Mare
------
Mare was sitting up waiting for Ash when he returned.
"Everything ok?" she asked looking into his tired eyes
"Yeah, its fine sweetheart, don't worry"
Mare nodded pulling him into her arms, kissing him deeply before lying back down as she watched him fall asleep with her in his arms.
