Ashton doesn’t find anything

Ashton turned when he saw there and stared for a moment, before realising he was caught opening her wardrobe and quickly closing it,

“Hey! Sorry, I… I was looking for a towel or some kleenex to, uh… Wipe myself.”

“There’s towels inside the bathroom,” said Hannah, pointing to the open door behind her. She frowned suspiciously. “You weren’t snooping, were you?”

“I promise I wasn’t! But…” He glanced at the closed wardrobe, then back at her looking guilty. “I kind of snooped, didn’t I? I was just…! No. No, sorry. You’re right.”

She crossed her arm, trying to look calm. His reaction was not upset or too guilty at least. But she had to check. “Find anything good?”

A small smile inched across his lips. “Eh… Found your Night Caller series in your bookshelf.”

She scoffed, slightly embarrassed as well as relieved. A relic of her teenage years, not exactly her worst secret but still a little cringeworthy. “C’mon, it was all the rage when I was in high school. Pretty much every girl in my generation has read at least the first book!” She protested.

He laughed. “Yeah, I get it. I mean… ! wasn’t actually getting on your case about the book. In case that wasn’t clear, it was a joke! I… I never read the books. Wasn’t that much into vampires back then… But I did play Dusk Empire back then, so… I have no moral high ground to lecture anyone at all.”

She smiled, enjoying his awkward explanations for a moment before adding, “I think I remember… Didn’t that game have sex scenes with the different aliens?”

His face withered for a moment and handwaved at her while looking embarrassed. “Nah, I mean… Tame stuff. PG-13, at best… But… Yes.” He looked away, unable to meet her eyes.

She smiled. “Well… You don’t give me crap for my teenage trash, and I won’t give you grief over yours. Fair?”

“Agreed!” He beamed at her before leaning in for a kiss. “I’ll.. Go take that shower then?”

“Yeah, go ahead! You can grab any towel you like… Or, you can use mine if you want?” And she unwrapped her towel, showing off her body as she pretended to hand it to him. Predictably, he blushed and smiled before stammering something and quickly retreating into the shower. But when he was gone she breathed a sigh of relief. If he had REALLY snooped, he might have found something actually dangerous to their relationship… Living a lie wasn’t easy. But if the alternative was him finding out that she was a former {if Porn Star = True}porn star, getting filmed while fucking big cocks and showing her nasty side to the camera.{endif}{if Hardcore Party Girl = True}party girl, getting high and fucking like a rabbit, not even knowing the name of the guys she sucked off.{endif}{if Hotwife = True}hotwife, cheating on her husband with one man after another, and worst of all… She had loved cheating on her husband.{endif} Then he would never trust her again. He would grow suspicious of her, she would never be able to redeem herself in his eyes and she would get needy and horny… And their relationship would die, like so many others. And then she would be alone. Again.

She shivered, and was grateful nothing had happened.
