“Ash…”
“I don’t care what happens, I want you too much,” hegroaned, his tongue already licking my folds.
I moaned and arched my back as his warm mouth coveredmy core, licking, sucking and eating me like a starved man. “Oh Ash,” I closedmy eyes.
“I can’t get enough of you, Kaley,” he said, pushinghis face into my mound. “Your smell,” he paused to let out a howl. “It’s puresex. You’re pure woman.”
He plunged his fingers into me as his body slid overmine, heating me with his hot and sweaty skin. My body began shuddering, as hisfingers plunged in and out of me.
“This isn’t enough for me, Kaley,” Ash breathed.“Fingering you won’t satisfy me after this drought of years without you.”
“Ash… we…” I lost my voice as his thick hard dickpushed into me, rocking me to the rear. “Ohhh,” I moaned as he filled me fully,rocking in and out rhythmically.
“Fuck,” Ash groaned. “This feels so good…” he pulledout and pushed in again and again until we were crying out. “Kaley, I can’thold back.”
Ash exploded onto me, as I climaxed. “Ash,” I sighed.“Oh, Ash,” I felt tears run down my cheeks. “I can’t believe what we just did.”
Ash kissed me over and over again, saying, “I don’tcare. It was worth it. I know what I did, Kaley. I broke the stipulations abouthaving romantic relations with you, Baby. Even if I have to lose myinheritance, having you was worth it.” He kissed me on my mouth, his cheeksrubbing against mine. It felt wet, like mine. He had tears on his cheeks, too.“I would die if I didn’t have you, Kaley. One last time, before I die. Theinheritance means nothing to me, if I can’t love you.”
“I’m sorry, Ash,” I said. “I don’t want you to loseyour inheritance. Anything.”
“It was my choice,” Ash said. “I choose you overeverything else, Kaley. You need to know that.”
“Ash,” I kissed him back fully. “I love you too. Somuch.”
“I know, Kaley,” Ash said. “I already know.”
Ash wiped the tears away from my cheeks and got up.“Come on, let’s get cleaned up.” He led me to the bathroom in the hidden roomand started the showers.
As he washed me from head to toe, he made sweet loveto me again. “I’ve already forfeited my fortune for you, Kaley,” he said. “I’mgoing to make the most of it.”
“You will, will you?” I asked.
“Yes,” he nipped at my ear playfully. “Again andagain. Every chance I could get.”
Chapter 7
Kaley
By the time we walked out of the hidden room, which Ithink even Seb and Thomas didn’t know about, freshly washed and dressed asthough nothing steamy had happened; we heard voices in the living room. Alldifferent voices. Speaking in calm tones.
“The first puzzle to solve involves one of my favoritechildhood memories. I wish for all of you to get a taste of what it is. Solvingthis first puzzle will bring you to the next.”
“Now that there was a will, there would be a way. Sowhere would I find the key to a pie that would show me the way to a childhoodfavorite?”
“We solved that one,” Thomas’ voice said.
“What did you find?” an older man’s gentle butauthoritative voice asked.
Sloane.
He was here. With the next pieces of the puzzles… thenext parts of the will.
I walked in, followed by Ash, who was now wearing abutton down shirt and jeans.
“Kaley!” Mr. Sloane smiled. “We were just starting.” He looked at Ash. “And Ash. Glad you two can join us.”
Thomas shot Ash an undecipherable look. Did he suspectsomething?
“Yes, glad you two are here,” he said.
Ash looked around. “Everything okay?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Seb said. “We got rid of the travelingsalesmen who were here earlier.”
“Yeah?” Ash asked. “How?”
“Told them to come back in a few days. We might be inthe market for what they’re selling then,” Seb said.
“Oh,” Ash said. “Good move. They were getting a bittoo pushy.”
“I’ll say,” Thomas said, looking annoyed. “But thedate is still the same. One week. Now a day less. So, let’s not waste any moretime. Mr. Sloane’s here to get to the next part. Let’s hear what he’s got tosay.”
Sloane, sitting in a leather armchair, took a sip fromthe coffee cup he had next to him on the side table. He took out his readingglasses from the pocket of his coat. “We were just going through the firstclue,” he said.
“Which we figured out,” Thomas said, anxious to movethings along. “Kaley, why don’t you show Mr. Sloane what you found.”
I walked over to Mr. Sloane, and pulled out the smallgold key hanging on a black ribbon around my neck. “This is the key to the piethat was the childhood memory in the first clue,” I said.
Mr. Sloane looked at the key, which he compared to aphoto he pulled out from his briefcase. “This is it,” he said.
“Good job, Kaley,” Ash said.
“Thomas and Seb thought of the keylime pie fromMajestic Café,” I said.
“Looks like you all worked together to find the firstclue,” Sloane said. “Did that help you work faster?”
“Yes,” we all said.
“We didn’t know where to start at first,” I said. “Butthen when we got together, it all came together faster.”
“Teamwork,” Sloane said. “More heads are better thanjust one.”
“It’s one of the pillars in the Keystone corporatemanuals,” Seb said. “Teamwork was important to Dad, especially amongst hispeople.”
Sloane gave a small smile and said, “So off to thenext piece.” He took out another vanilla envelope, which was labeled “Part 2”.
“Congratulations on finding the clue to part one! Youshould have known our favorite dessert had something to do with the clue. Nowthat you’ve found the golden key, fit it into the door of your dreams. Home iswhere you start to dream. What you do with it, is yet to be seen.”
Sloane looked up and said, “That’s it.”
Thomas was already on it. “Give
