bounced up and down on his shaft.
That was all it took to send her over the edge. Ashley began to moan, then gasp and finally let out a scream as she reached the height of ecstasy with an orgasm so complete that she thought, at that moment, that she'd never be so perfectly content again. All thoughts of why such a rich, handsome man would want her vanished as Ashley became completely lost in the moment. Jason responded by reaching his own orgasm at almost the same time, gripping both of her hips tightly and tensing all of his muscles as he thrust deeply into her and found his release.
Ashley collapsed on top of him and gave Jason a slow, lingering kiss. Their tongues met, not with the desperation of their earlier kisses, but with a slow, satisfied sense of pleasure. These weren't kisses that served as a prelude to lovemaking; these were kisses to be savored and enjoyed. She licked his tongue, explored his mouth, and then sucked gently on his lower lip.
“You are a beautiful woman, Ashley James,” Jason said, once his mouth was finally free.
“Thank you,” she replied with a blush. She'd been called all kinds of things in her life, but no one had ever before called Ashley beautiful. Right now, she felt beautiful.
“Do you mind if I ask you a question, Ashley?” Jason asked as they snuggled.
“No.”
“Why are you so suspicious of me? Have I done anything to justify that?”
Ashley was silent for a moment. “No, it's not you. I mean, I do wonder why a rich guy like you would be interested in dating a girl he met in a coffee shop. But it's more than that.”
“Like what?” Jason sat up on the bed.
“I was engaged to this guy named Brian. We'd been dating off and on since high school. We were supposed to get married last year.”
“What happened?”
“I don't know, really. I think he found someone else. He called me two weeks before the wedding and told me he didn't want to get married.”
“I'm sorry.”
“I was crushed. I did nothing but cry for days. My parents had spent a fortune on the wedding. He was the only guy I'd dated for a couple of years. I assumed we'd be together forever, and that was pulled away from me in an instant. Anyway, I'm just naturally a bit suspicious of guys these days.”
“I understand.”
“And then you come along, and you're good looking and well off. It's like you're too good to be true. So I'm just a bit afraid, I guess.”
Jason didn't say anything; he simply slid up behind her and held her closely in an embrace that Ashley would have been happy to have go on forever.
After the bottle of wine, the brandy afterwards, and a round of vigorous and incredible lovemaking, Ashley was exhausted. She rolled off of Jason and he took a moment to discard the soiled condom. Then, as Ashley lay on her side, he lay behind her and they spooned on the bed. She quickly fell asleep in a complete and utter state of bliss.
Chapter 4
Ashley awoke the next morning, unsure as to where she was or what time it might be. It took her a moment to get her bearings. She was alone in bed, and according to the clock on the nightstand, it was 7:30. It took a minute, but it came back to her. She was in bed in Jason's apartment. Last night was special. She'd slept like a baby. She smiled.
Jason entered the room a moment later, with a mug of steaming coffee in his hand.
“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said as he handed her the coffee.
Ashley sat up and ran her hands through her hair to try to make herself presentable. “Thanks.”
“It's not as good as the coffee you serve at work, but it's all I have.”
“That's OK. Any coffee will do first thing in the morning.” She took a sip and nodded approvingly.
Jason sat down on the bed, reached behind Ashley's head and pulled her to him with one arm. He
