A Love Trap

"Andrew, my body aches." Ashley was relaxed as Andrew held her, but her thighs hurt as if they were burnt.

Andrew's expressionless face changed as he heard that. There were panic, worry, and regret on his face.

When Andrew told Johnny to look for Ashley, he felt his heart beating fast, as if something bad would happen, and that made him restless.

He left his work behind and came out to look for Ashley.

The moment he turned that particular corner, he saw that Carol had something in her hand and was about to touch it to Ashley's face.

Andrew's heartbeat had sped up at the sight. His feet were on autopilot as he ran to stop what was happening to Ashley and kicked Carol away.

And now that he heard Ashley saying that her body ached, he was obviously worried, and feared that she had gotten injured in multiple places.

"Which part aches?" Andrew asked, his voice coming out stiff and strangled.

Ashley moved her thigh. Andrew looked down and found that the bottom of Ashley's white dress was stained with coffee and her fair-skinned thighs were red.

Andrew looked at the injury and wanted to touch it, but he was afraid it would hurt Ashley. He pursed his lips, power and fury radiating off of him.

He carried Ashley to his office, flipping out his cellphone and making a call on the way.
