Ash: ANYTIME
ANYPLACE AS LONG AS I GET TO BE WITH U

 
I smiled
huge!

 
"Was
that who I think it was? What did he say?"

 
I showed my
phone to Heather and, "aw!" came out of her mouth.

 
"My thoughts, exactly."

 
"You
girls make me sick."

 
"Don't
be a hater, Tony, you'll find yours someday." If only Heather knew. But I
was certain she was right. Some girl would be lucky to have him.

 
"Now
it's up to you, Tony. Convince Mike to take a break. Let us know what he says
and then we can set a date."

 
"Sadie,
it will be taken care of by morning."

 
We all said
our goodbyes and headed home. I was so happy at the idea of a road trip with my
friends again. This time I get to share it with Ash. Life doesn't get any
better than this.

 
Tony talked
to Mike and he said he was in. It didn’t take long for us to figure out that
Labor Day weekend would be perfect. We knew the lake would be packed with
people, but none of us cared. I was packing when Ash knocked and then just
walked in as he has become accustomed to doing. He found me up stairs trying to
fit all of my shit into one bag.

 
"Hello,
princess." He gave me a kiss that like all his others, made me need to
change my panties. I fell back on the bed spreading my legs so he could fall
between them on to me. Ash grabbed me behind the knees and bent me up into the
position I have come to claim as my favorite. It is all about seeing his sexy
face when he
cums
that gets me every time. He ground
his pelvis into mine and my whole body jerked.

 
"You
want me, don't you?"

 
"More
than words can explain. Please help me. I feel like I'm about to explode I want
you so bad."

 
"You
will never have to say please to me, woman. I will take you always."

 
He ripped my
panties off of me. Did I forget to tell you I didn’t bother getting completely
dressed because I knew this was coming? My tank top was next. It was over my
head in no time. I had no bra on either so with those few moves I was
completely naked. His turn was next. I grabbed his shorts and began to unbutton
them, but I guess he was in more of hurry than me to get started. He took control
and had his shorts, shirt and shoes off faster than I could blink. He let his
hand drop to between my legs and as soon as he felt how ready I already was for
him, he was inside of me. No foreplay was needed or a condom for that matter.
We stopped using them a month ago after we discussed me being on the pill. I
moaned loudly as he plunged inside me. He was not taking it easy on me and I
didn’t mind one bit. We were learning how to please each other when I figured
out that Ash liked to get a little rough sometimes. Surprisingly enough to me,
I got off on it more than he did. I grabbed his arms hard, squeezing my nails
into his skin while he pulled my hair tight but not too hard. He continued to
pound me into oblivion when my climax reached a high it has never been to. I
screamed, "Ash, I'm
cuming
!" And I could
feel him release himself at the same time. I was out of breath and numb from
the euphoria when, "I am so in love with you" came out of my mouth. I
didn't think before I said it but Ash’s mouth came crashing down on mine until
he pulled back just long enough to say, "I love you too Sadie Warren, so
much" and then he was back to kissing me. I could feel him growing in size
inside of me again. I started to grind my hips when his hand cupped my ass cheek
to lift my pelvis up while he still had full control of my mouth. He started
slow until he regained his full potential and from that point on, it was just
romantic. He did everything soft and slow. Kissing and licking while still
rocking in and out. It didn’t take long for both of us to get there and when we
did, it was out of this world. So much emotion had been put into us from
sharing our feelings, that it made it that much better. When we were done we
laid on the bed holding each other.

 
"I have
wanted to hear those words from you for so long. I didn't want to scare you by
moving too fast but my God, woman, you own my heart."

 
"You
don't have to worry about scaring me away, Ash. I am yours, hopefully
forever."

 
"Don't
get me started on forever, Sadie, because that is exactly what I want for us.
Someday I'm going to give it to you and promise to make you the happiest girl
in the world."

 
"Someday
I might just say yes."

 
We both laid
there until I was forced to get up and finish packing. Eventually I decided I
needed two bags after all. We loaded my things into Ash’s trunk and left to go
meet at Tony’s.

 
We pulled up
to see Jason and Mike's car were already there. I jumped out and ran inside the
house screaming, "
Who's
ready to party?"

 
They all looked
at me like I was crazy or something.

 
"Don't
look at me like that. This is going to be a blast!"

 
Ash walked
in as I finished what I was saying and all attention went to him, ignoring my
excitement completely.

 
The boys got
up and came over to him to shake his hand and Heather pulled him into a hug.
Don't get me wrong, I am so happy he blended in so easily with my friends. More
so that Ash now sees Mike as a person instead of a superstar. We all got up and
started walking out the door when the question came up, who is driving?

 
In the end,
Jason's jeep wouldn’t hold
all of the
luggage so Mike
decided he was driving his Denali. That put all the brothers and Heather in one
car. Ash wanted to drive, so we rode by ourselves, which was fine by me. It was
going to take at least five hours to get there, if we didn’t make too many
stops. That’s why it was only nine o'clock in the morning and my friends were
all crabby pants. Whatever, I was in love and nobody was going to bring me
down.

 
We headed
out and I was on cloud nine. The highway allowed me to roll down my window and
hang my feet out. Ash
blared
the radio and I was in
heaven holding his hand. My life was in such a good place. I couldn’t be
happier with my choices and Ash loved me too. We stopped in St. Louis to see
the arch, which took a little longer but was so worth it. You get to ride in an
egg elevator all the way to the top. You are so high up, if there is any wind
what so ever, it moves. It was the craziest thing. Ash was swearing he was not
afraid of heights before we got up there, but he was shaking while holding my
hand. Tony was turning green before we even got out of the egg. Then he looked
out one of the small windows and threw up. Yep, I said it. The people working
made him feel better by saying it happens all the time. Mike and Jason wouldn’t
let him live it down for a second. Walking back to the cars, it was all about
making fun of Tony. I felt so bad for him. Getting the opportunity to actually
go inside ‘The Gateway to the West’ was an experience I will never forget. We
were back on the road and it was only two and a half more hours until we rolled
into Osage Beach. The traffic was awful. I was pretty sure I could crawl faster
than we were moving. Once we finally crossed the
Bagnell
Dam, it was smooth from that point on. We found the house about ten minutes
later and it was completely awesome. From the street it didn’t look that big.
Once we walked in was a totally different story. The entire back wall was made
of windows looking out over the lake. There were five bedrooms, so nobody had
to share if they did not want to, meaning Tony and Mike. Heather and I
immediately went to change into our swimsuits. The boys just stripped their
shirts off. It was a race to the dock where we all jumped in like little kids.
We splashed and dunked each other. There was even a slide every one of us went
down. When Mike said he was getting hungry, we all decided to get out and
shower for the night ahead of us. Three showers meant not having to wait as
long, not that there was that much more hot water. Jason was the last in, and
oh did he scream like a girl. He bitched about it for the rest of the night.
Heather and I got ready in her and Jason’s room so I could surprise Ash with my
outfit. I had a nude colored razor back tank top made purely out of lace with a
pink push up bra underneath. I paired it with white dress shorts that barely
covered my ass cheeks and pink, four inch, strap heels with a camel colored
stiletto. I wore my hair half up with the under layer coming over my shoulder
on one side. Ash was going to go crazy over this and I loved the anticipation
of seeing his face. Heather went with a bright yellow sundress that was
strapless and clung to her curves well. She had borrowed my orange cork heels
that I had just got, but the punch of color was too cute to say no. She had her
hair down and I curled it in beach waves like she asked. We both kept telling
each other how great the other looked but it was her last comment that got me
rolling on the bed laughing.

 
"Sadie,
you know he's going to be walking around with a hard on all night."

 
I could just
picture it in my head.

 
"That's
my plan. I figure enough girls look at him. Some are ballsy enough to hit on
him right in front of me. This way they can see me and if they think they can
one up me, then let them."

 
"Did
you think about the guys hitting on you? Ash might get in a fight."

 
"No, he
won't. I'm his and he knows it."

 
We walked in
to the family room where all the guys were laughing about something. Ash was
laughing the hardest until he spotted me. Then his face dropped.

 
"You
are not wearing that."

 
"What?
Why not?"

 
"Why not?
Sadie, I love you. You know I do. And I have
faith that you love me too. But I can't take you out and see all the men
wanting to do what men want to do to you. I will be arrested for murder. Can't
you understand that? Please tell me you can?"

 
"Ash,
it’s going to be fine. You’re over reacting."

 
"No,
he's not." Thanks to Tony, I was losing ground and fast.

 
"Stay out
of this, Tony. I'm not changing. I look good. I shouldn’t have to."

 
"The
point is you look too good. That's all I'm trying to say."

 
I looked
over at Heather and she had the
most wicked
look on
her face. I knew that look. She wanted me to stick to my guns.

 
"I am
not changing. End of discussion."

 
"Hey
Ash, if it makes you feel any better, Jason and I will be there. Chances are no
one is going to want to fuck with her."

 
"Thanks,
Mike, but I don't need you guys to protect my girl for me. I can handle
it."

 
"Well
then stop bitching about my clothes and let’s go have some fun!"

 
I was so
ready to dance and have fun. We waited outside for the cab to come pick us up.
Nobody wanted to drive since we all knew we would be drinking. After about ten
minutes, the cab had finally arrived. We told him we wanted to go to the
hottest club on the lake. He took us to a place called Shooters. It was so
packed! We all stood in line for forty minutes just to get in the door. It was
almost too busy to be any fun. There were no tables left so we stood next to
the bar. We ordered food from the bartender but then had to eat it with no
table, still standing.

 
"This
is bullshit! Let’s go somewhere else." Heather had her fill and she was
ready to go.

 
I leaned
over to ask the bartender "Do you think it will slow down anytime
soon?"

 
He responded
laughing. "It’s a holiday weekend. The answer to that is a resounding hell
no. It’s only going to get crazier."

 
I turned to
everyone and found Ash right in front of me. I pecked his lips and said,
"Are you ready to go too?"

 
"Babe,
I was just trying to block the view of your ass from everyone. I don't care
what we do as long as I get to be with you and nobody else touches you."

 
"You
sure are territorial tonight. What's up with that? You always love the way I
dress."

 
"I
know. You’re right and I am being overprotective. I guess I just feel like I
have more to lose now."

 
"How
can that be? I haven't changed."

 
"Sure
you have. You love me. That in itself makes you so much more important to
me."
