Where the Sun Shines and Doesn't Shine

Lucas locked the hotel door after reeling the wheelchair inside the suite. Ashe's head was flopped to the side and she breathed calmly. An innocent, sinless face. Lucas liked it a lot. Her assets were pretty good too. Not as good as Rose's, but there was this aura around her which made Lucas want to snatch her from the wheelchair and lay her on the bed. 

Run his slender fingers and walk it across her skin, tugging at the end of her collars, pulling it down to expose the honey skin beneath…

Lucas took a sharp breath and stopped himself. He couldn't believe it. "I have officially got the sister of the CEO I work for in my room," he smiled sardonically, a thunder glowing in his murky blue eyes, "How pitiful." 

For now, he decided to control himself and eat dinner. It will be more fun when the girl was awake and kicking. 

He poured out a sparkling liquid for himself and the ice tinkled in it as he touched the crystal glass to his chapped lips. The alcohol rushed inside, spreading warmth to his body as his eyes ran down the frame of the girl in the wheel chair. He walked forward and took off the blanket that was covering her so that he could have a better look.

His back rested on the edge of the counter as he placed the glass on it and unbuttoned his collar. When he reached the fifth button, Ashe stirred. His chest was showing now and you could see the starting of baby abs from the opening.

Ashe coughed and sat up straight on the wheelchair. Her eyes pried open to fall on Lucas first thing. Shocked, she stumbled for words, "What…" her head moved from side to side, her heart beating faster every second and her hands trembling. 

"Where is this?" She stumbled forward and got up. Her eyes darted toward the door and one word flashed in her mind. 

Escape. 

She didn't want to be anywhere with Lucas. But Lucas was faster, and stronger. He strode over and stood in front of the door, locking it shut, his eyes still on her. "I'm not letting you go anywhere tonight."

Her face curled in disgust and she shook her head, trying to push him aside, "Let me go, you pervert." 

"You thought it would be that easy?"

Ashe stopped and stood straight in front of him. "Then do you want me to kick the daylight out of you?" 

Lucas grinned, "Maybe cup the daylight out of me would be a better phrase to use."

Ashe felt like puking at those words and looked around. Were they at a hotel? The window outside opened up to a view of the tips and terraces of many buildings. Oh God, they were at one of the top floors of the hotel. 

She usually had the answers to everything, but a kidnapping? She was clueless since there were so many variables and types or kidnappers and situations where person could get kidnapped. If she could make a program for it, the code string for it would be too long for her brain to plan out. 

But she can't give in either. This guy was planning to rape her, she knew. That look in his murderous eyes said everything. She can't. 

'I can't let this happen to me,' Ashe said to herself, staring at this half undressed guy in contempt. Why would God even give birth to such people? What made them this way?

There were many people who didn't get love, but not all of them turn into creeps or kidnappers and rapists. Lucas was the son of a rich, well-educated and connected family. Why was he this way? 

"What are you thinking, my angel?" he stepped forward and stroked her chin, Ashe thought it was best to stay silent for now. And still. Like all girls were supposed to be. 

Submissive. 

Timid. 

Shy.

Those were all the things Ashe was all her life. And especially since her dad died. It was like she lost her umbrella in the rain. So the only way to protect herself was to stay inside and never step out…so that she won't catch a cold from the rain. 

But these past few days, she felt like she found some sunrays within the clouds. Those days in the mansion did a good job to do away with the rainy clouds. And especially Adrien…

Nobody could get Ashe's umbrella back. But do need and umbrella when there was no rain? Adrien was like that. When he held her hand and they ran through the city that night, she knew deep within her heart one thing. 

He was her sunray. Her sunshine. The reason she didn't need to run for umbrellas anymore. She could finally step outside.

'Ew that's so damn cheesy, Ashe!' her hedgehog mind yelled at her, 'What is this?' Ashe didn't know what she was feeling. Maybe it would change in the future but right now, it was this. This feeling was one even science couldn't explain. 

She took in a breath as Lucas traced his fingers from her chin and down her neck and further below. It cut through her to above her chest. He grinned wider and prepared to dip his fingers under her shirt. 

Ashe couldn't take it anymore. She screamed and kicked his groin with all the force she had in her body. Lucas's jaw dropped to scream, but no sound came. He retreated his hands immediately and they flew to cover his dignity. 

He stumbled backwards and collided with the door, and slid down to the floor. Ashe wanted to do more to him. She wanted to take out all the pent up rage within her all this years. She looked around in a frenzy before her eyes zeroed in on something shining on the open kitchen counter. 

While Lucas was still writhing on the floor, she darted towards the rack and pulled out a huge knife and returned back to him, her brand new weapon glistening in her hand. 

"You don't deserve to be called a man," Ashe threatened and knelt down in front of him, holding the knife in front of her. Another shot of fear ran through Lucas and he scrambled to crawl away from her. Ashe leaned forward and touched the cold metal onto his chin and pressed harder, threatening to let blood drop. 

He went still as he watched her. She traced the knife down his neck, smirking. She let the knife trace further below and stopped above his chest. His shirt was already half open so there was nothing to tell her not to continue. She traced further down until she reached the top of his manhood. 

"What do you want me to do, cut it off?"

Lucas was at a loss for words. "Whe…when did you become like this?" He always made sure the women he chose were timid and obedient in bed. But this…this was terrifying. 

"Become what, Lucas?" 

A huge knock sounded on the door and both of their heads whipped upwards at the sound. They both stared at the door in shock. Lucas hadn't invited anyone over or called for room service. Ashe was just downright annoyed that someone interrupted her ceremony. 

She sighed and got up in one swift motion and threw the knife to the side, clattering on the tiles. She looked through the eyehole and saw an amazingly beautiful lady with sparkling blue eyes staring right through. 

Lucas had gotten up by then and pushed Ashe to the side before opening up the door himself and looking upon the woman in front of her. 

"R-rose? What are you doing here? We were supposed to meet tomorrow."

Rose narrowed her eyes and looked behind him, her mind raging. "Who's in the room with you?"
