Mia sighed as she gently pushed Ashley toward the bathroom, her frustration bubbling beneath the surface. Just as she was about to close the door, Ashley's hand shot out, grabbing her wrist and pulling her inside too.

"Ash!" Mia groaned, trying to tug her hand free. Instead, Ashley wrapped her arms tightly around her, ignoring the struggle and pulling her under the pouring water. Mia gasped as the warm shower soaked her clothes.

"What the heck?" she hissed, staring at her dripping outfit. "I'm all wet, Ash!"

Ashley laughed, her tone teasing. "Aren't you always wet for me?" she quipped, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips.

Mia's eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

Rolling her eyes, Ashley chuckled, pulling Mia closer into a firm embrace. "Relax. Let's just shower together," she murmured, her voice dropping into a softer, more intimate tone.

Before Mia could protest further, Ashley pinned her gently against the tiled wall, caging her with her arms. Mia swallowed hard, her breath hitching as she met Ashley's intense gaze.

"I thought we were showering? Why are you pinning me to the wall like... like you're about to eat me alive?" Mia stammered, her cheeks flushing.

Ashley's lips curved into a sly smile. "Oh, don't worry. I plan to eat you for sure," she teased, her gaze softening as she reached up to caress Mia's face. "How could I ever forget this face?" she whispered, her voice tinged with regret as she bit her bottom lip.

Mia's hand rested lightly against Ashley's bare chest, her fingers trembling slightly. "Yeah? How dare you forget me—and worse, think Vika is your fiancée?" she said, pushing Ashley's shoulder, though it didn't budge her. Her tone sharpened. "Tell me you didn't kiss her. Or... or worse."

Ashley laughed, shaking her head firmly. "No. Never," she said, her voice steady and resolute. "Vika tried. She tried to get close, to kiss me, to... you know," she added with a cringe, "but I dodged it all. Something always felt wrong—like my heart knew something my mind didn't. Turns out, I was being tricked."

Mia's fingers traced the intricate tattoo on Ashley's shoulder, following its path down to her upper arm. She remained quiet, her eyes fixed on the inked lines.

Ashley continued, her tone thoughtful. "My mother kept telling me not to trust Vika, to stay close to you. She must've known something was off," she said.

Mia faintly smiled, tilting her head up to meet Ashley's gaze. "I spoke with her after you woke up and claimed Vika was your fiancée," she admitted. "I suspected something weird about Vika and... your brother."

Ashley's jaw tightened. "They're the ones who attacked me," she cut in, her voice low.

Mia gasped. "How do you—"

"I told you. My memories are back," Ashley interrupted, her laugh bitter as she shut her eyes. The water poured over her face, masking her tears. "Before I blacked out, they removed their masks. I saw their faces, Mia. It's burned into my mind." Her voice cracked as she opened her eyes, locking onto Mia's. "The last thing I thought about before everything went dark... was you."

Mia's breath caught as she cupped Ashley's face in her hands, her thumbs brushing away droplets of water and tears alike.

"I always thought about you," Ashley continued, her voice trembling. "Even when I didn't remember, something about you kept pulling at me. I don't know how I could ever forget you... but I'll never let it happen again."

Mia chuckled softly, her fingers tracing Ashley's jaw. "I'm just glad you're back now. That's all that matters."

Ashley leaned into her touch, her voice steady yet filled with emotion. "I love you, Mia. I wouldn't dare to forget you again. I'm sorry for everything—for hurting you, for making you doubt us."

Mia smiled, her heart full as she pulled Ashley closer, their foreheads touching. "I love you too, Ash," she whispered. "Just don't let go this time."



Ashley cupped Mia's face, her thumbs gently caressing her fiancée's cheeks. She swallowed hard as she met Mia's eyes—eyes that always caught her off guard. A smile tugged at her lips as she leaned in, claiming Mia's lips in a kiss that was both gentle and possessive.

Mia gripped Ashley's shoulder as Ashley tugged her shirt off, letting it fall to the floor. With a slow, deliberate motion, Ashley unclasped Mia's bra, allowing it to drop as well. Mia's breath hitched at the touch, arching her back as she gasped, pulling back from the kiss to catch her breath.

Still struggling to steady her breathing, Mia felt Ashley lift her chin, kissing her again—this time rougher, more demanding. Ashley's hands moved to Mia's shorts and underwear, pulling them down with a practiced ease, letting them fall to the floor. Mia stepped out of them, heart pounding.

"I love you," Ashley murmured between kisses, her tongue sliding into Mia's mouth as Mia's hands found her back. Her nails left delicate traces on Ashley's skin as Ashley slid her fingers inside Mia, hitting the sensitive spot that made her gasp sharply.

Mia buried her face into Ashley's shoulder, gripping her back as Ashley pressed her against the tiled wall. The cool droplets of water added to the intensity of the moment, pushing Mia deeper into the addictive sensation of Ashley's touch.

Ashley's fingers moved slowly at first, then quicker, teasing Mia as she moaned, her body trembling with need. Mia bit down gently on Ashley's upper arm, trying to suppress the moans threatening to escape her lips as Ashley added another finger inside her. "Fuck!" Mia gasped, clutching Ashley's back tighter.

"Breathe, sugarplum," Ashley whispered, pressing a soft kiss to Mia's temple as she continued moving inside her, maintaining the perfect pressure that drew out sharp gasps and moans from Mia.

Ashley's free hand reached up to Mia's chest, massaging it gently, like kneading dough. The sensation heightened Mia's arousal, pushing her closer to the edge. Her breath became erratic as she buried her face against Ashley's chest, shivering beneath her touch.

"Did you just come?" Ashley chuckled, continuing her rhythmic thrusts. She gently pushed Mia's body against the wall, her voice soft but commanding. "Let me taste you," she whispered, pressing a kiss to Mia's forehead before kneeling on the tiled floor.

"Ash..." Mia moaned, biting her knuckles as Ashley leaned in, her mouth finding Mia's most sensitive spot. Instinctively, Mia tangled her fingers in Ashley's hair, urging her on. Ashley's hand gripped Mia's leg, resting it on her shoulder as she sucked and licked with a hunger that drove Mia wild.

Mia arched her back, her free hand cupping her breast absentmindedly as she gasped with each movement. She lowered her gaze to meet Ashley's eyes, her breath catching in her throat as Ashley's tongue worked tirelessly. Mia's fingers tangled in Ashley's damp hair, feeling the passion in every stroke.

The feeling of Ashley's tongue, her teeth grazing against her clit, sent Mia into a frenzy. She couldn't hold back any longer, gasping and moaning as she tugged on Ashley's head, her body moving instinctively against Ashley's movements. It didn't take long before Mia's body trembled with another release, her fluids spilling into Ashley's eager mouth.

"Oh, God!" Mia gasped, her eyes shutting as she felt Ashley's tongue inside her, savoring every last drop.
