274 Words
Charles parked his BMW outside the country inn and went inside to get a room, unaware that Catherine was following him.
“So, you hold your training at a country inn, Charles?” Catherine said to herself. “Just wait until you get home and see what I have in store for you?!”
Catherine pulled out of the inn's driveway just as Ashleigh's car pulled into the inn's parking lot.
“Was that Catherine coming out of the inn?” Ashleigh said in the rearview mirror, as the the car continued driving away. “No, it couldn't be? Catherine would've returned had she seen her?”
After parking the car, Ashleigh headed inside the inn to see Charles.
“May I help you?” Candace asked Ashleigh.
“Candace, Charles was supposed to get a room. Is he here yet?”
“Yes. He's expecting you.” Candace told her as she slipped her the key to Charles' room before Ashleigh headed upstairs.
The thought of being alone with Charles behind Catherine's back made her cringed, but it was the only way she could be with Charles—for now.
When Ashleigh let herself in Charles' room, he was standing in nothing but a towel wrapped around him after having just finished a shower.
“Damn! Now I know why I wanted to marry you!” Ashleigh remarked ecstatically, as he kissed her fervently.
“I've missed this!” Charles said breathlessly when the two lovers finally came up for air.
Ashleigh pressed her lips to Charles' lips as the two snuggled under the blankets. Business would have to wait—for now!!!!
