Chapter 68: Ice cream

Somewhere in country X, a man wearing a suit sat inside his room. Soon his assistant walked in and informed him about the work," They have agreed to meet Boss"

"Good, make all the arrangements as soon as possible. I can’t wait to meet Tristan after so long" the man informed his assistant and he left from there.

His dark green eyes looked at the screen in front of him and a smile broke on his thin lips," Finally you acknowledge me, Tristan Knight" he said looking at the picture on the screen.

It was late in the evening when Tristan reached Hyatt’s residency and found his wife doing some work.

"You should rest. Why are you stressing yourself" he pulled away the papers she was reading and kept them back on the table making her turn at him.

"I am not sick Tristan. It’s just my periods and nothing else, it will be fine after today" Ashley was feeling like a patient because of her overly protective husband who kept stopping her from everything that would stress her.

Tristan ignored her words and pulled her for a hug," I missed you wifey" his sweet words melted her heart and she found herself forgetting about what he did and the next second she hugged him back," Me too Husband"

His whole day went attending back-to-back meetings and he made sure to finish it up fast just so he go and see his wife. She was his better place where he let go of his stress just by looking at her face which bloomed his heart.

"How did the meeting go?" she asked pulling back and seeing him purse his lips.

Tristan didn’t want to recall what he encountered after reaching his office because he didn’t want anyone to disturb his peaceful life. He was happily married and he wished to keep every worry away from his wife who had nothing to do with it.

Stretching a smile he pinched her cheeks and answered," It was good but even though I was working my heart was still longing for you"

Ashley saw his eyes soften and she smiled. He was so good at giving her butterflies that sometimes she felt his words would start making her feel dizzy and she would end up doing things that will later embarrass her.

"You surely know how to flatter me Tristan" Ashley saw him smile at her remark and the next moment she was carried and placed on his lap.

"Then shouldn’t you reward me? " Ashley heard him say and she gasped when he moved closer to kiss her.

Ashley closed her eyes when she felt his lips on hers and she found herself softening at his touch.

The kiss was slow as Tristan kept reminding himself about her period and warned himself to be gentle with her. His little brother down was already twitching but he ignored it and paid attention to her delicious lips.

"I can’t get enough of you Ash. You are like a drug to me" he said in between the kiss while his hand went down from her neck to her chest and he pressed the tender spot that let out a moan.

Her every whim was like fuel to his fire and he wanted to rampage her like a madman until he couldn’t satisfy himself.

"Tristan... I..." she gasped when he let go of her lips and started kissing her jawline slowly moving to her neck, nibbling and sucking her tender spot.

"You what Ash," he asked moving her shirt away from her shoulder and kissing her exposed skin.

Ashley felt a weird sensation passing through her body and her hand dived into his silky hair as she felt his wet tongue licking her skin.

Her body was slowly melting in his touch as she kept craving for more. She knew this kiss was heading in another direction and she wanted him to stop. But even after being aware of it she couldn’t utter a word and let herself get absorbed into the moment.

Tristan was getting high on lust as his left palm kept kneading her bossom over the fabric while his mouth started leaving mark on her skin.

"Um... Tristan... I think we... Should stop... " Ashley was breathing heavily and her small tuck on his hair stopped him.

Soon the realization stuck him and he pulled back only to find her staring at him in a daze.

’Damn... Why does she have to look so tempting’ he thought.

Ashley didn’t know how she easily got swayed by his moves but now when he stopped, she craved more.

Resting their forehead together, Tristan tried to calm himself.

"You are irresistible Ash," Tristan said it true.

After meeting her, he found himself losing control over his self-esteem. He wasn’t like that before but her arrival made him do things that he never thought of doing in his life.

Calming their urging desire both pulled back and Tristan got up clearing his throat, "Ahem...I think I should get changed" he said and turned heading straight inside the bedroom.

Ashley who had her head lowered looked up when she heard the door shutting down. She heaved out a breath that she didn’t know she was holding for too long.

"This man will make me go crazy someday," she said calming her pounding heart and getting up, heading towards the kitchen.

Karl was about to leave when his eyes looked at Gwen’s desk and he frown. Looking at the watch in his hand he muttered," Why didn’t she leave yet"

There was no one around since everyone had already vacated the place. Even her brother had left earlier than usual but, she was still there doing some work.

Gwen was finishing the pending work and it took more of her time. She didn’t realize that everyone had left and it was only her who was working.

"Ahem... Miss Gwen don’t you have to go home" Karl asked standing in front of her desk and saw her lift her eyes.

"Huh! Sir when did you come" she asked instead of answering him.

"Just now, but why haven’t to left yet," he asked and looked at the screen.

She had been working on the latest project which they signed the day before yesterday and just remembering that day his mood turned sour. He still could erase the thought of that man smiling at Gwen.

’But wait why wasn’t it even bothering him’

"Just a final review and I will leave sir," Gwen said professionally.

Gwen very well knew how to balance her life. Yes she liked Karl but she know inside the company he was her boss and she was assisting him. Remembering their professional relationship, she kept her words limited.

Karl nod his head and stood there until she finished her work. After whatever happened between them Karl started to effortlessly get attracted to Gwen and in that he even found himself getting jealous at times.

After almost fifteen minutes Gwen closed her laptop and picked her back and they walked out of the building.

Gwen was about to hail a cab when Karl offered the ride. Since she was his responsibility, he made sure he was present when she needed him, and driving her home was one of his duty.

Inside the car

After that day Karl and Gwen didn’t talk much. Gwen who was the talkative one felt a loss of words whenever they meet eyes. It felt like everything went back to day one and they turned out to be strangers.

She looked at Karl and then turned her head to the other side and she squeal in excitement," Ice cream"

Listening to her scream Karl stopped the car and look at her in surprise. As soon as the car stopped Gwen unlock the seatbelt and stepped out of the car running to the ice cream parlor on the other side of the road.

She was so eager to reach there that she forgot to see around when a car speeded and she felt her body pulled back with a jerk.

"Gwen..."

Karl stepped out of the car after her and saw her run without looking at the car that was approaching her. He felt his breath stop and he ran pulling her back before the car passed by them.

"Why can’t you be attentive" Karl lost his cool and lashed at Gwen.

He was so scared that he felt his heart stop for a second. If he didn’t act that instant, the car would have hit her.

Gwen was shocked by his rage and found her eyes tearing up. This was the first time she had seen Karl so much angry and she couldn’t blame him because she was at fault.

Karl saw her eyes well up and the next second he found his anger subside." Miss Gwen, I am sorry please don’t cry"

Gwen wasn’t going to tear up but when she heard his words she burst and this time she pounced on him," I was so scared..." she cried hugging him.

She didn’t know what she was scared of. Was it for getting hit by the car or because he scolded her?
