Free Ashton And Justice by Stephani Hecht Page B

to somebody else. By confessing his feelings to Ashton, Justice now gave the man a powerful weapon should he ever want to hurt him.
    "I hope you really mean that," Ashton said.
    "Of course I do. I--"
    Justice's reply was cut off with a gasp as Ashton finally pressed inside him. Then Justice forgot about all other worries aside from the wonderful sensation of Ashton filling and stretching him.
    "That's it, just like that," Justice hissed as he pressed back against Ashton.
    Ashton bent over and nipped Justice's earlobe. "I would do anything to protect you."
    After making that declaration, Ashton began to make love to Justice. They moved together in fast, sharp snaps, the fear of discovery not allowing any time for lingering. Ashton gripped Justice's hips in a tight hold. Since Justice didn't want to lose that bite of pain, he reached around and began to stroke his own cock.
    Even with the stress of being caught, Justice's orgasm came too quick. He bit his bottom lip, hoping the hurt would hold it back, but he lost the fight. His cock jerked, right before warm fluid covered his fingers.
    Ashton's muffled whimper marked that he'd come, too, his grip somehow managing to grow even tighter. Justice knew he'd relish those sets of bruises, just as he had the last.
    Ashton gave the nape of Justice's neck a kiss, before they pulled apart and cleaned up as best they could in the small adjoining bathroom. Once they were done they pulled out two chairs and sat opposite of each other.
    The seriousness of Ashton's expression set Justice's body trembling, only this time the reaction came from nerves. Justice ran a hand nervously through his hair as he began to tap his foot nervously.
    "What's going on? You're scaring me," he admitted.
    Ashton reached out and took Justice's hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It's just that what I want to ask you is big and I don't want to blow things by flubbing it up."
    "Just say it."
    "My father knows about us," Ashton blurted.
    Panicked, Justice let out a small gasp. "Is he pissed?"
    "No. I'm not going to lie and say he was exactly thrilled about who your father is, but once he realized you're the most important thing in my life, my dad supported us."
    Justice shook his head. "What did you just say?"
    "That he supported us."
    "Not that. What you said right before that part."
    Ashton gazed up from under his lashes. "That you're the most important thing in my life."
    A bubble of hysteria clogged Justice's chest. "Just like that? After one week?"
    "Well, we did say we were like that other famous story. They fell in love at first sight, so why can't we have strong feelings about each other, too?"
    "But our story won't end up the same way," Justice replied weakly, echoing their conversation from the library.
    "I know I'm probably moving too fast for you. Hell, at times it feels like it's too fast for me, but I can't deny my feelings."
    "I care about you, too. Much more than I know I should since this relationship is so new," Justice replied, his voice full of wonder because he'd just realized that fact for himself.
    Ashton gave a relieved laugh before he kissed Justice. Once they broke apart Ashton delivered another bombshell. "I want you to run away with me."
    Justice jerked back in shock. "What? Are you crazy?"
    "I don't want to see your father hurt you anymore. The only way we can make sure that happens is for us to go someplace where he can never find us."
    "But, how could we manage that? I don't know about you, but I only have fourteen bucks in my bank account and even that's a wash since I have a twenty-five dollar check pending."
    "My dad has agreed to help us. He'll help us find a new place, obtain new identities, and get us started at a new school."
    "Why would he agree to do that for me?"
    "Because he knows how much you mean to me." Ashton gave Justice's hand a tight squeeze.
    "But, I thought you hated taking any handouts from him. That's why you've been working two jobs."
    "Keeping you safe is
