and pulled her into his arms. Neither one of them said anything. There was nothing left to say.
Their bodies had said it all. He rose up on his elbow and found her eyes still closed and she was
smiling. His own smile matched. It had been much better than he had ever dreamed it would be.
Still, he wanted to make sure this was what she wanted. It would kill him if she regretted
anything that happened between them.
So do we keep going forward from here?
Ashley yawned and nodded. Yes but only after I get eight hours. I was up late last night and the
night before and I m tired.
Chris chuckled. Leave it to Ashley to respond so honestly. He rolled onto his back and pulled her
closer to him, glad that this was just the beginning. There was a lot more that he wanted to
experience with Ashley. Her arms tightened around him and he looked down at her. There was
definitely a lot more that he wanted to explore with her.
Chapter Seven
Christopher.
Hmm?
Ashley gave him a little push. Move your arm.
For what, he muttered. He had her in his arms and he liked her there. Therefore he needed a
good reason as to why he should move his arm.
The phone is ringing.
That was a pretty good reason. In his state of deep sleep, he hadn t even heard it. A first but
Ashley had worn him out. They were almost out of condoms and it was a good thing. He
released his hold on her and she reached for the phone.
Hello.
He heard Andrew chuckle through his half sleep haze. Turning over, Ashley placed the phone on
his chest then rolled back over. It s for you.
Chris groaned and rubbed his eyes. He reached for the phone and brought it up to his ear.
Hello.
Hey big bro. I guess it was a happy birthday for you, huh?
Chris rolled his eyes at the comment. Is there a reason you called?
Yes there is but one more question. He remained silent so Andrew went ahead. You guys still
in bed?
Chris sighed heavily. Yes, we are.
Together?
He wasn t going to get too specific. This was personal and he wasn t ready to share it with
anyone.
As if it s any of your business.
He heard Andrew s playful groan. You never were one to kiss and tell.
Chris closed his eyes. You ought to try it sometime.
Andrew chuckled. That isn t any fun.
Chris groaned himself this time. Please tell me this isn t the real reason you called.
Andrew sighed. I called because I need to know if Karen Samantha and I can stay with you for
a few days.
He could hear all of the playfulness go out of Andrew s voice and it concerned him. He opened
his eyes. What s wrong, Drew? Chris sat up What is going on?
A gas line broke because of construction crews. We are without gas, let alone the overbearing
fumes. With Karen only being a month away from having the baby, I don t want to bring on
labor any earlier than it needs to happen.
Chris smiled. Let me guess. Karen is already panicking.
Andrew groaned. You know it. Which is why I want to bring her to your place. I don t know
how long it s going to take for them to fix the gas line but I don t want my wife stressing while it
happens. If we go over to mom and dad s house, Samantha would be spoiled rotten by the time
they returned home and Karen would be stressed. Our mother tends to have that effect on some
people. With Karen in her last month, mother has started the smothering stage again and it
irritates Karen. When Karen is irritated, I m the one who has to hear it.
Chris s laughed. Well I am glad you chose my residence over mother and fathers but I have an
idea why. Both brothers knew anybody s sanity could be in danger if they were in their parents
company for more than twenty-four hours straight. All three of you are more than welcome to
stay here.
Thanks. I am hoping that it won t take too long to fix the gas line.
Chris smiled. It doesn t matter if it takes longer. You guys are welcome here for as long as it
takes. When should I expect you guys?
Not until this evening. We both are going to work today.
Okay then I should be back by then since I will probably go and workout within the next hours
or so. Also I will let George know and make sure there is enough to feed all of us for dinner
tonight.
