When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I lifted my head and looked at Ashton. He did not seem to be bothered by Joe’s reaction.

I thought of consoling the drunk man but was afraid that I might burst into laughter.

Ashton grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. “Let him be. He’ll be fine when he’s sobered up.”

I whispered, “Does he always get drunk?”

Ashton tapped his slender fingers on a glass of water and placed the glass by his sensuous lips.

“Sometimes,” he said. He then looked at me and realized I was staring at his lips. He put down the glass, smirked, and let out a deep grunt.

That had instantly snapped me out of my daze. I cleared my throat and tried to hide my awkwardness. “Oh.”

My heart was still racing like mad even though I had looked away. What is he? God of lust and seduction? Argh!

Joe had soon quietened down. He collapsed on the couch and fell asleep.

Ashton looked at him for a while before saying, “Come. Let’s go home.”

I nodded. But before leaving, I asked, “Should we send him home?”
