The soreness wasn't that bad anyway, just a slow throb deep in my thighs. Manageable.

After I came out of the bathroom, Ashton was dressed.

Downstairs, I sat at the far end of the dining table, keeping my back straight and my movements measured.

Across from me, Ashton leaned on one elbow, watching me.

"You not eating?" I asked without looking up. "Or are you planning to just stare at me the whole time?"

"Not hungry." He added, "Slow down. No one's taking it from you."

I abandoned the spoon, lifted the soup bowl, drank half, then put it down and pressed a hand to my stomach. "I'm full."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"So you've got your strength back, then?"

"Of course—"

The words caught in my throat. I nearly bit my tongue.

I looked up.

He smiled. "Good. Time to pick up where we left off last night."

"I wasn't aware it was a marathon." I shot to my feet. "I'm going to the studio."

"It's your day off. And it's nearly three."

"I don't care. I'm going anyway."

I spun around and bolted for the door.

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 219 Consummation

    I reached for him, rolling the condom down over his length.Ashton groaned low in his throat, his body tensing above mine, hips jerking at the contact.His hands braced on either side of my head, his knuckles whitening slightly.He murmured my name, his voice rough with pleasure.I swallowed hard, my eyes flicking up to his face.There was no alcohol clouding my senses this time, no hazy veil to soften the edges.Every sensation was vivid, raw.The memory of that first night in the hotel came rushing back—not just the physicality, but the vulnerability, the reckless thrill of giving myself to someone who made me feel both fearless and fragile all at once.That night, I'd been drunk.Now, I was wide awake, and drowning in feeling.Watching me closely, Ashton pressed inside slowly, inch by torturous inch, letting me stretch and adjust, his jaw clenched tight as he fought for control.I gasped softly, arching into him, my fingers curling into his shoulders.My body softened around him, o

    I stared at her, then turned to the doctor. "Is she dying or just being dramatic?"He didn't look up from the chart. "Her vitals are fine. She fainted from stress. Keep her hydrated and calm, she'll be alright in a few days."Ashton turned towards the door. "Perfect. This room's just been vacated. Let her recover here."He took a call in the hallway."You back in Skyline?" Cassian asked."Just got in. What's going on?" Ashton put the call on speakerphone."Nothing urgent. Just that Rowan Hale's still being a pain in the arse. Thank fuck I didn't sign her.""What did she do now?"I leaned in closer."She's using your name to fish for deals. Made it sound like you two had something going on. Picked up a couple of brand meetings that way, wormed her way onto two prime-time shows. Some PR idiots don't believe you actually married Mirabelle, and she's playing it up. Dodges questions, drops hints, lets people connect the dots. Now I've got sponsors coming to me asking what your status with

    "You don't get to tell me who she is," he said coldly."Ashton! You can't be serious!" she shrieked. "We're your family. She's no one! You're letting some gold-digging little brat twist you around her finger! You think she's sweet, but she's manipulative. She uses your name like a badge and your money like her own. That design competition? Please. Everyone knows she won it because of you.""Enough!" I wished there was something I could throw at her. "When I entered that competition, no one knew who the hell I was. Not as Ashton's wife. If I wanted to rig it, I'd have needed a name to flash, and I didn't use his. You think I throw Ashton's name around in public? Fine. Name one time. Where? When? Who heard it?"She stared at me, blinking. Her lips twitched like she wanted to come up with something, but all she did was exhale through her nose."You're quick with rumors, but you choke on facts. Don't waste your breath trying to make up stories about me. Go find a comedy club. Might as wel

    "You're not walking out. So they'll carry you," Ashton said to the men. "He flies out tonight.""Yes, sir."One of them yanked the duvet off.Reginald shrieked.Another grabbed his arms, two more took his legs, and they hoisted him off the mattress in one smooth motion.He kicked like a feral cat. "You're all insane! Put me down!"They didn't. They marched straight for the door.Reginald wriggled free for half a second, dropped to the floor with a loud thud, and scrambled into a sitting position. "Fine! I'll go! But it's the middle of the bloody night. There's no flight now. Just let me sleep, I'll leave first thing in the morning.""It's the middle of the afternoon. And you're leaving tonight," Ashton said. "The jet's ready. Oh, and you're paying for it. Out of pocket or out of salary. Your call."Reginald stayed on the floor.The guards didn't touch him again, but they closed in just enough to block every exit.He glanced around, wild-eyed. His shoulders sank. He wasn't getting out

    Caroline hesitated, then changed tack. "Could you talk to Ashton? Ask him to go easy on your dad?"I didn't bother hiding the irritation in my voice. "Get to the hospital first. We'll talk if you show up.""Alright, alright. We're on our way."The moment I ended the call, I messaged the precinct and told them to send officers to the hospital immediately.Twenty-five minutes later, they arrived. Caroline, Preston, and Serenna stumbled in looking washed out and twitchy.They pushed the door open.The first thing they saw wasn't me.It was four uniformed cops standing near Cade's bed.Caroline froze. Her knees buckled. She grabbed the doorframe for balance."Mirabelle..." she said through clenched teeth. "You tricked me."I stepped out from behind the officers. "I said I'd consider it. Never said I agreed. And now I've changed my mind."Her mouth worked for a second, then clamped shut.Preston shoved past her. He pointed at my face, already red and loud. "Ungrateful brat. You lied to us!
