I make some progress.

This current round of squiggles was the most challenging yet. I shook my head, scratched things out, and even wrote some numbers in the margins of the page before Ashley clapped her hands and leaned over to kiss my cheek.

“I think you’re really starting to grasp things.” She said, pointing at the page proudly.

I wiped some imaginary sweat from my brow before answering, wrapping my arm around Ashley as I spoke. “Thanks, Ash. You’re a big help.” She didn’t recoil from my grip, so I lightly rubbed her shoulder with my hand, and she just closed her eyes in thought for a long moment, before opening them and grabbing the notebook again. I kept rubbing her shoulder as she wrote a few more squiggles, but pulled away from her when she pushed the notebook into my chest again.

“One more set, just to make sure you’ve got it.”

I stared at the page thoughtfully. “I don’t know, Ash. We’ve already done a lot of these kinds of problems.” I set the notebook on the table, “I’m not sure if I’m feeling motivated to do any more, especially if that kiss on the cheek was all I got for the last set.”

Ashley rolled her eyes, but there was definitely a hunger in her eyes as she turned, pressing me against the back of the couch and climbing into my lap, facing me while standing on her knees. “Not motivated, huh?” Her tone was a bit harsh, but the grin on her face betrayed her mood, so I just grinned back and shook my head.

“There were three problems there, Ash,” I explained, gazing up at her and placing my hands on her hips. Her own hands were on my shoulders, giving her full control over the pace this time.

“Uh-huh,” She purred, moving her face closer to mine. I strained my neck to try and reach her lips, but she remained out of reach. “I bet they were really hard.”

I could feel her breath at this point, and was eager to close the distance. “So hard, Ash. Don’t you think I deserve a reward?”

She didn’t respond verbally, but the way she mashed her lips against mine was answer enough. There was no hesitation in the kiss this time. We devoured each other, lips and tongues moving with a sort of manic hunger I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Her hands had begun to roam, one moving to the back of my head and the other sliding around to my back, pulling her body close to mine as our kiss deepened. I took this as permission to begin exploring her body as well, and I squeezed her ass through her jeans before burying one hand in her thick hair and letting the other explore the bare skin of her lower back, exposed as it was by her undersized top.

I grunted into our kiss when Ashley lowered herself completely, pressing against my erection. There were multiple layers of clothes between our bodies, but my cock still reacted to her presence, and there was no way Ashley couldn’t feel the proof of my arousal for her. Being the torturous minx she was, she ground against my erection intentionally a bit more, before pulling her mouth away from mine. My lips chose to occupy her throat instead, and she let out a sexy moan before commenting. “You weren’t kidding about it being hard.”

I let out a chuckle against the sensitive skin of her neck. She shivered at the sensation, and I decided to press my advantage while she was still in a receptive mood. I kept licking and sucking at her throat, but withdrew my hands from her body and quickly began to remove my shirt. I broke my kissing for a moment in order to pull it off completely. She didn’t react. Ashley tried to voice an opinion when I started pulling at her shirt next, but I greedily pulled her face back down to mine and kissed her before any words actually got out. She accepted the kiss for a few moments before pulling away again, allowing me to slip the piece of clothing over her head, exposing a plain white bra. I kissed at the bare skin of her upper chest, and nibbled along her collarbone.

“Hey, oh, hey stop, ah, fuck, I mean, um. Yes, stop.” I didn’t stop, of course, at least not until Ashley slapped my chest and stood up, looking as flushed and breathless as I felt. “Hey, let’s not get too carried away.”

I raised an eyebrow at this, but didn’t argue. “Sorry, Ash, we should probably finish up that math, first, right?”

Ashley nodded before sitting down again, clearly still a bit distracted, “Right, sure.”

Grinning, I collected the notebook. I had a feeling that I was nearing the homestretch, now that the clothes had started to come off. Ashley hadn’t actually voiced a negative opinion about being undressed, and I could see her eyeing my shirtless body with mixed emotions as I opened back up to the scribble-laden page and set to work once more.
