Afterglow

Theo’s parents had wrapped up their own dinner when the couple arrived. They were sitting on the living room couch reading. Theo’s dad didn’t look up, but his mom noticed them.

“Hi Theo, how is … everything?” His mom took in Ashley’s disheveled appearance and Theo’s cocksure walk.

“It’s great, Mom. It’s all great.” Theodore looked even taller and more confident, and Ashley beamed at the effect she had. It almost balanced out being shown off like this.

“Dinner is in the fridge if you want to re-heat some.”

“No worries, Mom. Ashley and I ate over at the Jones house. She really loved your company’s new product.”

“Oh really?” Jeannette made extended eye contact with Ashley. “I’ll just have to make sure to get more.” She knows how it tastes.

“That would be awesome. Ashley and I are gonna head up for the night.”

“Sure thing, sweetie.”

Theo’s mom watched them head upstairs and a large smile crossed her face. Ashley had always been a tease and it was holding Theo back, she thought. He always held out hope that she’d come around, but Jeannette knew Ashley’s type. At first they don’t see the effect they have on their “friend,” but over time they start to love the unrequited affection. Leading the poor boy along like dragging him over gravel. Well, fate had other plans for that one, and now she was Theo’s for good. And Mommy was going to do everything in her power to make Ashley the best **** she could be. That food was already having the desired effect, she could tell. Just see at how Ashley looked at him now.

Upstairs, Ashley and Theo climbed into the shower together. The hot water felt exquisite on Ashley’s skin. Theo took the loofah and gently ran it across her back, down her arms, over her thighs. It felt amazing to be cared for like this. I can do this for him too.

“Let me.” Ashley gently took the soap and cleaned him. She’d never really given Theo a long look like this before. Admittedly, he hid his body under baggy jeans and band shirts but… she still felt like she had discovered something she didn’t even know she was missing.

“I’m getting out, you can stay a little longer. Then join me in the bedroom.” Theo kissed her on the lips and climbed out to dry himself off. Ashley took a little longer to wash her hair, but after a few minutes she was starting to miss Theo. Not like me to be this needy, but we did just take a big step tonight. Ashley felt warm and comforted by it. She dried herself off, then wrapped a towel around herself and entered Theo’s bedroom. He was laying on his bed in his boxers, absentmindedly watching television. Ashley couldn’t help herself from sneaking a peek at the bulge under the fabric.

“Hey Ash. Lose the towel and join me.”

In the bed? Not the cage? Ashley beamed. She was moving up in the world. He climbed under the covers and she slid in next to him, enjoying his body heat on her skin. He passed her the remote.

“Whatever you’re up for is good.” He lay back with his arm wrapped around her as she clicked through their streaming options. She finally settled on some cheesy comedy they’d watched a dozen times and rested her head on his chest. Barely fifteen minutes in, she was out like a light.
