Pulling Ashley close to him “Did you experience the black magic?” He whispered.Blushing “Yes I did” She replied tracing her finger down his bare chest while Alan stared at her, his hazel eyes forming a shade of black.Squeezing her waist tightly “You want to experience more black magic” He said winking at her.Splashing water at him “You are naughty” She said in a tiny voice.Lifting her, he wrapped her two legs around his waist. “Yes, I am naughty.” He said above her mouth, kissing her lips softly while she combed her hands through his soft hair.Caressing her body, Ashley could feel the intensity of his touch as they sent shivers down her spine. She couldn't tell if she was intoxicated by his touch or the soft music playing in the background.Breaking from the kiss they tried to catch their breath “We should go inside, otherwise, I will take you here” Alan replied huskily, his hazel eyes staring into her blue eyes, while Ashley was trying to decipher the desires that read in his ey

“Ashley, Ashley wake up” Alan tapped her softly while Ashley stirred continuously trying to figure out if she had been called in her dream or reality.“Ashley, we would be late if you don't wake up,” Alan said softly with a tinge of warning in his voice.Yawning, she opened her eyes slowly “You are dressed, are you going somewhere?” She asked Alan who was dressed in a bright-colored shirt and lightweight beach shorts.“We are going somewhere, come on, you need to get dressed,” He said, stretching his towards her and guiding her out of the bed. He gave her a gift bag and told her to change into it.“How do I look?” She asked excitedly, she was wearing blue marble print crinkle textured layer wide leg beach pants.

She and Alan lay next to the stream as they watched the stars.“Same story my mom told me,” Alan said and turned towards her direction.Laughing “When I figured out the truth I stopped speaking to the stars,” Ashley said calmly.The both of them lay in silence for a while before Ashley broke it.“Alan?” Ashley called out with a tinge of uncertainty.“Yeah?” Alan answered hoping that she would continue what she had to say.“Who am I to you, aside from a contract wife?” She asked, holding her breath. She knew she was testing the waters but she chose to feed her curiosity instead.Sitting up, he scanned her face properly. “An escape from reality” Alan answered, studying her eyes which glinted from hurt to pain and quickly masked itself up.Sitting up “An escape from reality? I am not in your reality?” Ashley asked, pouting, sh
