Anne stared up at Samuel and he held out his hand. With his eyes, he pleaded with her to take it. After a second Anne placed her hand in his outstretched hand, and together they walked over to the plane. Tegan breathed a sigh of relief and followed.
Chapter 23
It was late when they got back to New York. Samuel took Anne home with him after he offered her his guest room and she accepted. Then Ash took Tina and Marc home with a promise they would be at the penthouse first thing in the morning.
Ash carried a worn-out, sleeping Tegan up their penthouse. She woke as he stripped her down and pulled her into the shower. He washed her, dried her off, and took her to bed. He crawled into bed with her gathered her into his arms. He made slow, sweet love to her, and then she fell asleep in his arms.
He did not regret marrying her not for one fucking second. It saved him a lot of bullshit. It wouldn’t have mattered to him even if he had not married her first. He would have had her divorced from that sorry fuck so fast that it would have made the man’s head spin.
Tegan woke up to Ash’s head buried between her legs. He was doing wonderful things to her with his mouth and tongue. When she came he still wasn’t done with her. He lay next to her and made her straddle his chest facing away as he lowered her pussy over his face. Tegan was almost too short to reach him, but she was able to take some of his cock in her mouth. He licked, sucked, and teased her clit, and then he gently bit down on her clit while she screamed around his cock and flooded his face with her cream as she came. He licked it up before lifting his hips and making her take more of him in her mouth. From this position she was deep throating him every time she went down. She moved away to take more of him in her mouth, so he had a perfect view of her ass and pussy. He couldn’t reach her with his mouth, so he used his hands, playing with her, making her moan around his cock.
Her mouth was fucking fantastic as she swallowed him down. It wasn’t long before he came. By the time she licked him clean he was hard again. Tegan turned and straddled him. She held his gaze as she fisted him and then slowly lowered herself down. Ash found it hard to swallow as he watched her take him into her body. She was so fucking beautiful riding him, rolling her hips as she moved up and down. He was fascinated by the way her large breasts bounced as she rode him. Her tight little pussy was holding him like a vise. Her head was back, her lips were parted, and her long hair swept over his thighs.
When he could stand it no any longer, he gripped her hips, planted his heels on the bed, and thrust up to meet her downward stokes. Tegan screamed her pleasure as she came all over his cock, and her pussy tried to suck him in and hold him there. With a growl he rolled them so he was on top with him still inside her. He pulled her legs up on his shoulders as he pumped into her. He took her deep and hard, with her screaming under him. He forced her to come again before he roared out and spilled his seed deep inside her with her tightening around him.
He lay on top of her, still inside of her, catching his breath. She groaned when he lifted and slowly slid out. He cleaned them both up with his discarded shirt and then tossed it across the room before lying back. He gathered Tegan into his arms and kissed her. She snuggled close to him as he pulled the covers back over them, and it wasn’t long before they fell back asleep.
Ash woke up as soon as Tina called him to tell him they were on their way over. She told him that Marc had agreed to cook breakfast. Ash got up and unlocked the front door before he went to wake Tegan. He shut and locked the bedroom door just in case Tina and Marc arrived before they were done.
He kissed her softly at first, biting her lip until he saw her cringe. Then he remembered her hurt lip, so he moved down to her neck. Tegan was clinging to him, moaning by the time he drew back and grinned down at her. She had that glazed look in her eyes, and he liked that he had put it there. Ash took his time worshipping all of her with his hands and his mouth as he told her everything he loved about her body. She was ready to scream and beg him by the time he sank his large cock into her weeping, swollen sheath. He rose up on his arms over her as she lifted her legs higher on his hips. She moaned loudly.
“Shh,” he told her. “Tina and Marc are supposed to be here any second,” he told her as he tried not to laugh as she blushed.
“Oh God,” she moaned blushing even more as she shut her eyes.
When she opened her eyes and focused on him only then did he pull out and plunge back in. Tegan gripped his forearms and held on as he took her. It was too much, it was too good, and she had to grab a pillow to cover her face so she could scream her pleasure. Ash grabbed the pillow and tossed it out of the way, trying not to laugh. He lowered over her and took her mouth as he thrust harder, deeper as he swallowed down her screams. He kept her there until he brought her screaming three times before he emptied his seed inside her. God, he never wanted to let her go.
They both groaned when Tina knocked on the door.
“I heard that. Fine. Just stay in there then, but Marc is making pancakes and bacon for breakfast,” she said in that singsong voice.
Tegan grinned as her stomach growled rather loudly.
“Come on. Get up. I have a surprise for you,” he told her as he stood up.
She drank in the sight of his gorgeous body and his tat. She bit her lip and whimpered when he slipped on a pair of jeans and a shirt covering up all that fine male goodness.
She was still lying on the bed when he walked over leaned down and took her nipple in his mouth. She sucked in her breath, reached for him, and pulled his mouth to hers. He kissed her and gently bit her bottom lip.
“Keep looking at me like that and I am going to fuck you again hard right here, right now. I will not take it easy on you and Tina and Marc will both hear all your screams. So keep it up, little girl.”
Tegan giggled and pushed him away.
Ash had to adjust his hard-on when he reached the door. “And put a damned bra on,” he told her as he walked out.
Ash did not like other men looking at her. Marc was a friend but he was still a guy and he fucking looked. Not that Ash blamed him but Tegan was his and he didn’t any fucking body looking at her.
Tegan came out a few minutes later dressed in her old faded jeans and a tight-fitting pale-pink T-shirt. Her hair was still damp from the quick shower she had taken. She was blushing and her lips were kiss swollen. The scent of bacon, coffee, and maple syrup assaulted her senses and made her stomach growl. She blushed even more when she noticed everyone was staring at her.
Tina and Marc were already at the bar sitting down and eating. Ash was making them both a plate. He gave her a quick kiss when she walked over.
“You want coffee?” she asked.
He lifted an eyebrow like she had to be joking. She giggled and poured them both a cup before filling up Marc’s and Tina’s cups. Then they all sat down and ate.
“Marc, this is great. Thanks,” Tegan told him. “Hey, where is my mother?”
Marc took a big bite of pancake. Tina blushed and grinned. Ash gave them both a look before he turned to Tegan.
“She went home with Samuel,” he told her.
The expression on Tegan’s face was comical. First she had a slight frown that quickly changed into shock, and her mouth fell opened. Then her face turned bright red, and she became very interested in her food.
“I see. Maybe I need to help her find a divorce lawyer. God, this is so jacked up.”
Tina giggled, which made Tegan start. Even Ash and Marc grinned.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. Ash told everyone to stay seated and he ran and answered it. He came back a minute later with a large envelope.
“What’s that?” Tegan asked.
“Just something I had delivered.”
That’s all he said before he sat back down and started to eat again.
Tegan glanced over him with a frown. When they were done eating the girls cleaned up while the guys watched them.
Ash stood when they were finished, too
k Tegan’s hand and the envelope, and then led her over to the love seat. Marc and Tina followed and set across from them. Ash opened the envelope and pulled out the papers. He handed one to Tegan and watched her face as she read it. She frowned as she read then sucked her breath as she looked up at Ash.
The paper said that everything that came from her grandfather’s inheritance was hers and hers alone to do with as she wished. Ash had signed it. She was officially a very, very rich woman in her own right.
“Ash, I don’t understand,” she told him.
“It’s very simple, kitten. Your money is just that yours to do with as you wish. I didn’t marry you for your money, Tegan.”
“I know that,” she told him before reading over the paper.
“Oh my God. This is a lot of money. I can afford to help my mother out now,” she said with a smile.
The three people in the room just smiled because of how Tegan always thought of others before herself.
Ash opened the envelope, pulled out a marriage license, and handed it to her. She read it and ran her fingers over first Ash’s signature and then her own and lingered there. She had a faraway look in her eyes.
“We are really married, Ash?” she whispered, still staring at the paper in her hands.
“Yes.”
“We have been married all this time?”
“Yes, kitten.”
She lifted her hand with her wedding ring on it, holding it up to the light beholding it.
“And this is the ring you gave me when we got married at the hospital?”
“It is, but I took it off until you were well.”
Tegan looked at Ash and then back down staring at the ring on her finger.
“I thought it was all a dream,” she whispered as a tear streamed down her face.
“What?” Ash asked.
Tegan gazed up at him with tears sparkling in her eyes.
“I said I thought it was all a dream. Oh, Ash, I do remember us getting married, but I thought that I had just dreamed it. I remember. I remember it all. I don’t care about having another ceremony again unless you want to. I want to keep my dream. I love you, Ash. You are all that matters to me,” she told him, cupping his handsome face.
The tension left Ash as he wrapped Tegan into his arms and laid a kiss on her that had her melting in his arms and moaning. A bright flash from Tina’s phone broke them apart.
“I love happy endings,” Tina said.
“Ending hell. This is just the beginning,” Ash told her.
“Ash?” Tegan said, bringing his attention back to her.
“Yes, kitten?”
“I do want a honeymoon,” she said with a grin.
“Hell yes. You can have anything you want. I will take you anywhere you want to go.”
“Somewhere with a beach and alcohol,” she told him, grinning against his lips.
He laughed. “You got it, kitten.”
Chapter 24
Tegan had thought she was pregnant, but she wasn’t. When she was in the hospital after the kidnapping Tina spoke to the doctor about her birth control. Tina had had Tegan’s purse, and so she was able to tell the doctor what kind of pills she was on. The doctor ordered an implant put in her arm of the same kind of birth control she had been using. Ash didn’t seem to mind, but he made sure Tegan knew he wanted at least three kids if not more one day. Tegan was more than happy with that.
Tina and Tegan had talked, and they wanted to have their kids close together so they would be grow up together. They both agreed that Marc needed to hurry his ass up with that proposal.
Ash helped Anne find a lawyer, who filed for her divorce, which Thomas fought tooth and nail, but in the end Anne got her divorce along with a restraining order. When Thomas tried to press charges for assault against Samuel, Ash had a lawyer that showed up claiming that Thomas must be mistaken because Samuel was in New York at the time of the incident and Thomas had no proof otherwise. Roland Carson refused to help Thomas and said he didn’t know anything about the incident. Pastor Larkin refused to say anything. Yeah, Pastor Larkin didn’t get his church built either.
Roland Carson washed his hands of Thomas after what happened. It wasn’t long after Anne’s divorce was granted that the Roland was arrested for trying to lure an underage girl to come to him. The underage girl turned out to be a two-hundred-fifty-pound undercover cop posing online as a fourteen-year-old girl who looked an awful lot like Tegan.
Tina had pulled up his arrest on her iPad and showed Tegan. It showed a picture of Roland in an orange county-jail jumpsuit. Both girls agreed that karma was a bitch and that orange was his color.
Ash didn’t tell Tegan he had bankrupted Thomas and had barely left him enough to live on.
It was taking time for Tegan to finally accept that her parents were really together. Anne had asked Tegan to forgive her for being such a shitting mother all these years. She was doing her best to make up to Tegan. Tegan, of course, being the kind person she was forgave her. Ash was not as forgiving nor as trusting but once Tegan explained her mother was just as much of a victim as she was he was a little nicer to Anne.
Samuel and Ash got along great. Ash offered Samuel a job and he accepted. Tegan thought her father was the most wonderful man in the world and seeing the gentle way he treated her mother made her love him even more.
Ash sure as hell didn’t let Anne talk him into letting her stay there with them. He set her up in the same apartment building as Samuel, which was across town from them. The couple was dating and getting to know each other again. It looked very promising. Tegan had never seen her mother so happy.
The news leaked out about the beautiful young Texas heiress had snagged the dashing and debonair billionaire Ash Stone. As soon as the media got wind of her modeling, the lingerie pictures came out and hit the social media and the tabloids. Just as Tina had predicted, the shit hit the fan when Ash found out about Tegan’s modeling.
Ash wasn’t too thrilled about Tegan keeping it secret from him. He sure as hell was not happy about the world seeing what belonged to him, but he eventually got over it after he ended up punching a fan or two along with a reporter. Needless to say he didn’t allow her to go anywhere without a security detail. She was now working on her own line of clothing for woman with curves. What she didn’t tell anyone was that Ash had spanked her ass for not telling him about her modeling in the first place. The thing was she enjoyed it.
The last Ash and Tegan heard from Tiffany Barnes, the blonde who had been naked in Ash’s penthouse, she had married a wealthy older man who was old enough to be her grandfather. Ash knew the man personally, and he was keeping his young troublemaking wife on a very tight leash.
For their honeymoon Ash took Tegan to Bora Bora. He took her snorkeling and parasailing. She had loved the white beaches and the clear blue water. She even talked him into renting them horses so they could ride on the beach. It was the first time Ash had ever ridden a horse, and it was not an experience Ash cared to repeat. He did, however, enjoy watching his gorgeous wife ride. They had the best time and did not want to leave. Ash promised to bring her back another time. She was sporting a golden tan when they returned home. Tina was jealous, and Ash threatened to punch Marc because he wouldn’t quit staring at his wife. What Tegan didn’t tell them was she didn’t have any tan lines either.
It was a week after they returned from their vacation that they attended another one of Marc’s games. Ash took Tegan and Tina down to the field during the halftime, which surprised both of them. That was until Marc appeared and took Tina’s hand and led her out into the middle of the field. All cameras were on them, and they were on all the big screens around the stadium. Marc dropped to one knee as he held her hand and asked Tina to marry him.
With tears in her eyes and the world watching, Tina accepted. Marc placed a gorgeous diamond ring on her finger and then kissed the hell out of her in front of God and everybody. The cheering and applause from all the fans were deafening.
“After their wedding we are going to start on those babies, kitten,” Ash told Tegan on the sideline.
She turned in his arms and drew him down for a kiss. “I think we need to practice a whole bunch before then, cowboy.”
He lifted an eyebrow and grinned as Tegan gave him a smothering look and pulled him away.
