Chapter 14 | from Misunderstanding to desire | I will Never forget You

It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning when William decided it was time to formally introduce Ash to his parents. While Ash had met them briefly at a business party three months ago, this was different—this was about presenting their relationship. They had planned everything meticulously, and both were a mix of excitement and nerves as they got ready for the big day.William chose a classic look for the occasion, opting for a tailored navy suit that complemented his lean frame. He paired it with a crisp white shirt and a silk tie in a subtle shade of blue. His hair was neatly styled, and he looked every bit the successful young businessman that he was.Ash, on the other hand, went for a more relaxed yet sophisticated ensemble. He wore a light grey blazer over a soft blue shirt, paired with well-fitted dark jeans. His hair was tousled just right, giving him a casual, approachable look. He had also decided to bring along a drawing he had done—a beautiful sketch of William's parents' garden, which he hoped would be a thoughtful gift.As they drove to William's family estate, William reached over and squeezed Ash's hand. "You look great, Ash. My parents already like you, and I know they'll love you even more when they get to know you better."Ash smiled nervously. "Thanks, William. I just hope I don't mess anything up.""You won't," William assured him. "Just be yourself. They'll see why I love you so much."When they arrived at the estate, they were greeted warmly by William's parents. Mr. Lawrence, a tall man with a commanding presence, and Mrs. Lawrence, a graceful woman with kind eyes, welcomed them with open arms."Ash, it's so good to see you again," Mr. Lawrence said, shaking Ash's hand firmly. "I remember you from the business party with your father.""Likewise, Mr. Lawrence," Ash replied, smiling. "Thank you for having me.""Please, call me Richard," he said with a chuckle. "And this is my wife, Eleanor. Though I believe you already know each other from the university?"Eleanor smiled warmly at Ash. "Yes, how can't we I am his professor . It's lovely to see you here personally, Ash.""Thank you, Eleanor," Ash said, feeling more at ease. "It's a pleasure to be here."As they settled into the living room, William and Ash handed over the gifts they had brought. William's parents were delighted with the wine, and Eleanor's eyes lit up when she saw Ash's drawing."This is beautiful, Ash," she said, admiring the detailed sketch. "You have quite a talent.""Thank you, Eleanor," Ash replied, pleased that she liked it. "I thought it would be a nice addition to your home."After some pleasant conversation and laughter, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. However, there was an underlying tension that Ash couldn't quite place. It became apparent during lunch, when Eleanor asked to speak with Ash alone."Ash, dear, can we have a word in private?" Eleanor asked, her tone gentle but firm.Ash nodded, feeling a knot form in his stomach. "Of course."They walked to a quiet corner of the garden, where Eleanor turned to him with a serious expression."Ash, I wanted to talk to you about William," she began. "He's always been so focused on his career, and while that's admirable, I worry about his personal life. I know you two are close, and he respects you a lot."Ash nodded, unsure of where this was going. "Yes, we are very close."Eleanor took a deep breath. "You see, there's this wonderful girl, Hera, who would be a perfect match for William. Our families have known each other for years, and her father is a great business partner. William has been hesitant, saying he wants to focus on his business, but I think he just needs a little push. Do you think you could talk to him about it? Encourage him to consider this proposal? I don't Know Why William Don't Show any Affection towards Hera even after their Engagement and i know Hera is Good girl, "Ash felt his heart sink. He had feared this moment, and now it was happening. He managed to keep his composure and forced a smile. "I understand, Eleanor. I'll talk to him."Eleanor smiled warmly. "Thank you, Ash. I knew I could count on you."As they walked back to join the others, Ash felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He didn't know how to break this to William, who had been nothing but supportive and loving. When they returned to the living room, William immediately sensed that something was off from Ash face."Is everything okay?" William asked, concern etched on his face.Ash nodded, forcing a smile. "Yes, everything's fine."William wasn't convinced, but he decided to let it go for now. The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur for Ash, who struggled to keep up with the conversations and maintain a facade of normalcy.William was ready to say to his parents. which Ash was his boyfriend. But Ash squeezed William Arms from both hands. William look at Ash. Ash shook His head As a saying of "No"William not understand what Ash was doing but he guessed something was odd. Once they were back in the car, William turned to Ash, his worry evident. "Ash, what did my mom say to you?"Ash sighed, knowing he couldn't keep this from William any longer. "She asked me to talk to you about Hera. She thinks you should marry her for the sake of the business."William's expression hardened. "I can't believe this. She has no right to interfere in my personal life like this anymore."Ash reached out and took William's hand. "William....., please.....understand. Your parents have been nothing but kind to me. I don't want to break their trust or cause any friction between us."William looked at Ash, his eyes filled with frustration and helplessness. "But what about us, Ash? How can we keep pretending when we know what we feel for each other?""I know," Ash said softly and touched William's face. "But maybe we need to be patient. Your parents care about you, and they'll come around eventually. We just need to give them time."William with angry face "If we let this slip, it is more worse than this. I want to tell them now, they are understanding parents, then what is the problem"" I know.....I know baby.... They are so kind that's why I didn't want to break the trust in me. Its make me felt like worse person. This is love I didn't get from my parents...."William sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I hate this, Ash. I hate having to hide what we have.""I know," Ash replied, squeezing his hand. "But for now, let's just focus on what we have. We'll find a way to make this work. "The drive back to their apartment was quiet, both of them lost in their thoughts. When they arrived home, Ash opened the door, and as soon as they stepped inside, William hugged him from behind, holding him tightly in the dark."I am sorry that I shouted at you," William said, his voice filled with emotion. "I love you, Ash. And I'm not going to let anything come between us."Ash turned around in William's arms, looking into his eyes. "I love you too, William. We'll get through this together."The intensity of the moment hung in the air, thick with unspoken words and raw emotion. William's hands gently traced the lines of Ash's face, his touch both tender and possessive. Their lips met in a slow, deliberate kiss that spoke of their need for each other. It was a kiss that carried all their unvoiced fears and hopes, a silent promise of love and support.William's hands roamed over Ash's back, pulling him closer until there was no space between them. Ash responded in kind, his hands finding their way under William's shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin. They stumbled towards the bedroom, shedding their clothes along the way, leaving a trail that marked their path.Once inside the bedroom, William paused, looking at Ash with a mixture of love and desire. "Are you sure?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.Ash nodded, his eyes never leaving William's.They fell onto the bed in a tangle of limbs, their bodies pressing together, seeking comfort and connection. William's kisses all over Ash body Ash's fingers threaded through William's hair, pulling him closer, needing him more than ever. William grabbed both hand of Ash and hold it tight in above his head.William sit on the top of Ash and take a breath to slow down himself and look at ash and smiled."I want to f**k you""come here" ash tough William face with both hand and kissed his forehead and eyes, nose and lips slowly and smiledHe give permission for William to do everything he want. William kissed Ash neck chest and go lower and lower..Ash got the heat and started to moaneach touch and kiss a reaffirmation of their bond. But as their need grew, so did their urgency. William's hands explored every inch of Ash's body, memorizing the way he felt, the sounds he made, the way he responded to each touchThe room was filled with the sounds of their love, soft whispers, and gasps that punctuated the air. They moved together in perfect harmony, their bodies communicating in a language only they understood.As they reached the peak of their passion, their connection only deepened.
