After completing a lap around the city, the carriage finally came to a halt in front of a huge mansion that had been prepared for us.
“We’re here!” said one of the servants in a hilarious tone.
Right as I was smiling with my lips pursed, Ashton opened the carriage door, scooped me into his arms, and carried me into the mansion in a bridal position.
Gregory and Audrey could be heard screaming behind us as Emery grabbed them by the collar and held them high in the air. “Let go of me!”
“Hey, let go! I want to be with Mommy and Daddy!”
“I’m doing this for your own good, you brats! Trust me, you don’t want to interrupt their consummation of marriage!” Emery snapped back at them.
Ashton was walking really fast and climbed on top of me immediately after putting me down on the bed.
I bit down on my lip as I pushed at him and mumbled, “Close the door.”
“Forget the door, Letty. I can’t wait any longer,” Ashton replied while staring at me with a scorching gaze.
The two of us then had sex throughout the afternoon, but neither of us felt like sleeping at all afterward.
The silence in the mansion was deafening as I lay there fiddling with the blanket on Ashton’s body, but I was too lost in thought to be bothered by it.
I gave him a few quick pecks on the lips to comfort him and wrapped my arms around his neck as I said coquettishly, “Thanks to you, the Fullers are blessed with an amazing child like Gregory, so I’m sure Grandpa won’t blame you for what happened. Besides, are you sure you want to be talking about this on our wedding night?”
I didn’t really believe in the supernatural, but I couldn’t just sit by and do nothing while Ashton looked so depressed.
Ashton chuckled and leaned in close to breathe down my neck as he said, “Oh, right, I almost forgot about that. Every second matters on a wedding night, milady. We should continue where we left off if you have rested enough.”
My mind felt all fuzzy from his actions, and it took me all the willpower I could muster just to remain calm and sit upright in his arms. “I’m hungry, and I would like to have some fried chicken! Go make me some!” I tried to change the topic aggressively.
Thinking he had misheard, Ashton stared at me blankly for a moment before letting out a wry chuckle. “Wouldn’t it kill the mood to have fried chicken at a time like this, Mrs. Fuller?”
