Only You Chapter 36
Grace's Pov "Where's the team?" I looked around to find no one but me and Ashton, as I stepped out from the car he sent to pick me up for the flight. "I thought this was a business tour." "It is, except there are a few changes. It will be just the two of us going. The team will be reporting to us from the office," he explained. "But…when did that even happen? I wasn't informed," this was so confusing, if we were supposed to go as a team then what changed at the last moment. Unless….he never wanted the team to go and just convinced me using that in his defense. Of course Ashton Knight would do something like that. "We're getting late," he didn't answer my question, instead started moving forth until we got to what looked like a private jet. "But Ashton? If they aren't going to be here for the meeting with the clients, how will they catch up on the details?" I was hot on his tail, still trying to get the reason out of him. "You are the head of the project so your being there
Only You Chapter 37
Grace's Pov My heart was ready to burst out of my ribcage with the intensity it was jackhammering at. The kind of jitters that went down my body, having Ashton in such close proximity is unbelievable. Why does my body react like that in his presence? And Oh my God! The moan that slipped out of my mouth! That was so embarrassing. It would have made me look so desperate. Gosh! Why couldn't I control my traitorous hormones? I didn't realize how long I was lost in my thoughts and didn't even touch the food before I heard the bathroom door opening and Ashton appeared in his glory. My mouth went dry at the holy sight. He came out in his shorts. Only shorts. This was too much for my fragile heart to handle. His abs were on display, my hands itching to run them down on his skin, feeling his rough body against mine. His wet hair was completely disheveled with a few drops of water still dripping from them. I gulped down the lump in my throat before diverting my attention back to the food
Only You Chapter 38
Grace and Ashton's day in Italy was a whirlwind of business meetings and cultural exploration. With a busy itinerary ahead, they were up at the crack of dawn, ready to make the most of their time. The charming city of Florence was their first stop, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Their morning kicked off with a productive business meeting at a local café. Grace and Ashton met with potential partners, discussing strategies and collaborations over cappuccinos and freshly baked pastries. With matters settled, they headed to the renowned Uffizi Gallery, where they marveled at iconic works of art by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. Lunch was a quick affair at a quaint trattoria, savoring authentic pasta dishes before rushing off to their next meeting. This time, it was at a modern co-working space, where they joined a brainstorming session with local entrepreneurs. The exchange of ideas was invigorating, offering fresh perspectives on business trends
Only You Chapter 39
Author's Pov Grace looked at Ashton expectantly, waiting for him to comply with her demand. His hands were fisted under his desk and by the looks he was very uncomfortable to utter the words that were alien to him. "Come on," she mouthed to him discreetly with her arms folded on her chest. Ashton saw the signal from her and took the opportunity to run his eyes between her and Stella who stood in the room that felt so hot because of the tension, despite the chilling air conditioners doing their job. She didn't know why she was called to Ashton's office but was certainly surprised to see him sitting on his desk, without a scowl for the first time in his life and Grace stood at a distance from it. She did not realize the breath she was holding in anticipation wondering what she had done wrong to be called to his office, that too in Grace's presence. She hadn't let any extra people on the floor lately. She had responded to all the incoming calls at her desk as per their requirements.
Only You Chapter 40
Author Ashton killed the engine of his car before turning to face Grace. “Did it have to end so soon? It only felt like a few minutes,” he sulked before her. “Stop acting like a baby being deprived of his favorite candy,” Grace giggled. The night was magical for her and not once in her life she would have imagined being ending up as Ashton Knight’s girlfriend. But what could she say? Life was full of surprises for her. Expect the unexpected. They had slowly danced under the moonlight, gazed at the stars and obviously had one of the most scrumptious meals prepared especially for her with all her favorites. “Well, it’s not like you aren’t my most favorite candy,” he smirked before pulling her in for a goodnight kiss. “How cheesy,” Grace remarked, pulling away when they were done. “And you complain as if we are not going to see each other tomorrow at work.” “Exactly! Tomorrow is so long to wait for. Not to forget I would still be spending the night alone.” “Don’t worry, I know
Only You Chapter 41
Grace's Pov The last week has been nothing but a bliss for me. Ashton did not miss a single moment to prove his love for me and to shower kisses whenever he saw the moment. The days I worked from his office were extremely delightful as everytime after working hours, we would go out to eat and then hit my favorite spot near a secluded lake. We would spend our time star gazing and then suddenly the air would get hot and make us end up in crazy sensual, most bombastic makeout sessions that I have fallen in love with. His kisses are something else. The feel of his lips, the way he takes control, almost makes me want to lose myself in him completely. We have kissed in places that I never imagined I would have in the first place. Having full blown make out sessions in the car and his office was nothing compared to the ones where he would sneak into the ladies bathroom and surprise me to have some fun. Not only this but once we got so lost in making out in the coffee machine room that he for
Only You Chapter 42
Grace Pov"What do you think about this one?" I pointed at yet another bridal dress hoping Macy would take a liking to it. "I'm not sure. Those flower patterns are not my type," this girl is never going to find her wedding dress like this. We've been out for three hours now and she has rejected every dress that was shown to her. "I was thinking about something with a slit maybe?" "Oh God Macy! You could have said that a lot earlier and by now we would have been done," I know I hate shopping but it's her big day and everything has to be perfect so I'm trying my best to keep my calm. I love her of course and my brother. And for them I could put up with this whole situation. "Ok, let me try this one," she took a beautiful white dress from the rack with a slit running on one side before going into the changing room. I decided to sit before my phone rang. Obviously it had to be Ashton. "How's my life doing? I hope your sister in law isn't making you regret your decision?" He cheered up
Only You Chapter 43
Ashton's povMy heart leapt out of my chest when I heard the words on the call. Grace is in the hospital, we were mugged. They hit her with their gun. Macy had called me immediately after telling me that Adrian was already on his way. I literally raced against time, breaking all speeding rules to get to her as soon as I could, all the while praying nothing happened to her. My pulse quickened, sending a frantic rhythm through my veins as I clutched the steering wheel with white-knuckled determination. The tires of my car squealed in protest as I accelerated, the engine's roar mirroring the turmoil inside me. My knitted brows were a testament to the fear and urgency that gripped me.The world outside my car window became a whirlwind of blurred neon lights and indistinct shapes, each passing streetlamp casting fleeting, eerie shadows across my face. This was not how the night was supposed to end. They were supposed to enjoy it cozed up in their pillow fort ending it with a movie. She
