"Since you will not be a gentleman and pour me some drink, I will just drink from the bottle myself. You can get yourself another bottle, you've got a lot of them after all." I almost chuckled at the sight of this, but carefully suppressed it.
"You can handle your liquor though, right?" I said, not looking in her direction again as I got up to get myself another bottle of wine.
"I am not a pea-brained teenager. I can handle it.” She spat back. I didn’t fully believe her, but at this point, I would rather not argue with her. She was an adult after all.
We drank for a while in silence, until we begin to feel tipsy. We were both about halfway through our bottles of wine.
"Sometimes, you know, I just wished you were a different person. Like the person you were some minutes ago. Why is that so hard? Why do you make it so hard?"
"I make it hard you say? Well maybe I'm not just cut out for commitments or any form of entanglements. Of what use are they anyway? When people find out that you love them to a fault, they take undue advantage and ruin your life, leaving you hopeless. And they don't even look back. They don't care if their actions make you miserable. Everyone just thinks of themselves and how they can accumulate benefits for themselves. Human beings are very insensitive and selfish! I would never let myself be played".
Ashley looks at me in bewilderment, I bet she's wondering where all these came from.
"You think I'm trying to play you and take advantage of you?"
"You for one are not a saint. You're too ambitious your own good. Someone's got to keep you in check before you get me to sign my company away to you."
"Good heavens! How do you even think this way? It's just absurd. I would never do that!" She was exasperated by what I just said.
I scoffed before I replied, "Isn't that what they always say at first? That they care and they just want to help and they’d never betray the trust that was given to them. Then they stab you in the back when you need them the most. I would have never lost my brother, Jack if I prevented him from being tricked by the woman she trusted.” The alcohol was kicking in, I was beginning to open up more than I should.
"Your brother? What happened to him?" She asked showing some serious concern.
I wanted to stop talking, but the wine in my system kept me talking.
"You want to know? Well, sure then! I'll tell you. My brother Jack fell head over heels in love with this woman, Gina. He married her and planned to start the family with her. Then one day, he found out that she ran away with his business partner,Ed and they took everything he had in the bank with them. Jack was so heart broken, but also embarrassed and ashamed that he took his own life.”
"He died?" Ashley was in shock and she looked so sad.
"Yes, he did.” I said, taking another chug of wine.
"And what happened to Gina and his business partner?"
"After we found out they took all the money Jack had, we involved police, but we never head from Gina or Ed again and the police could not find them, either. All I know is that they had no remorse when Jack died.”
I tried to hold back the tears that were filling my eyes.
"I watched my brother got played like a fool by a woman he loved and cared for. He trusted her even to the point of death. He was my only brother. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think of him.”
I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore, I had to let them flow freely.
I watched as Ashley gets up and comes closer to me. She wrapped her hand around my neck and brought me to her chest. I let myself go and lay against her chest.
She lifted my head and looked into my eyes. Then suddenly, I grabbed her heard to kiss her. She kissed me back and locked her lips in mine to start kissing each other passionately.
The kissing become more intense as I lift her off of the stool and carried her on my body. She clenched tightly to my body. I put her on the island table with my grip still firm on her.
I began to kiss her all over, from her neck all the way down, brushing through her cleavage. Her breasts were supple and a beauty to behold. I pressed them tenderly at first, but started to press them harder fueled by the sounds she made.
I kissed her down to her legs, getting my face in between them, licking each leg softly. Then I went further upwards, aiming for the wet love canal. I kissed it over her panties first, before gently taking it off.
Then I dipped a finger into her canal which was extremely wet while Ashley was calling me to keep on going. I played her canal with my fingers for a while , then replace it with my tongue shortly after. Her moans became louder as I began to lick through it.
I reached for her dress and unzipped it. Her breasts fell out as I pulled down the dress. I began to play her soft, supple, full breasts with my tongue. I sucked on her nipples softly and Ashley gasped. She was enjoying every bit of it and I held down my head to make sure I didn’t lift my head too soon.
I lifted her off of the island table and carried her onto the couch in the room across the wine cellar. I quickly took off my trousers and ready to have all of her. While I still was working my way around her nipples with my tongue, I thrusted into her and she let out a loud moan.
