Chapter 70: Chapter 70 - Goodbye sex

Inside the elevator, Esther held Ashley’s hand tightly because she knew this would be the last time.

She wanted to beg Ashley to stay with her, even if it was pathetic, but she knew Ashley had chosen Clara a long time ago, and Ashley wasn’t the kind of person to break a promise.

So tonight, Esther decided to enjoy these last moments with the person she loved.

When they left the hotel, a few photographers were still outside, hoping to get one last scoop before leaving. They got exactly what they were looking for when they saw Esther and Ashley walking hand in hand toward a car.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Esther’s hotel. She had deliberately chosen a hotel not too far from the party because she was sure Ashley wouldn’t refuse her final request.

Or at least, she hoped Ashley wouldn’t refuse.

Click.

Esther locked the door behind them.

They entered a fairly spacious room with a large bed.

"Do you want anything first?" Esther asked out of politeness, but also because she was feeling nervous.

Ashley stepped closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Their bodies pressed together, and Esther immediately felt the gentle warmth of Ashley’s body. Their eyes locked.

"Let’s not waste any time," Ashley said, leaning in to kiss her.

Ashley’s soft, sweet lips met hers. Esther closed her eyes, wanting to fully take in the sensation.

After a few seconds, she decided to take a more active role, turning the gentle kiss into a much more passionate one.

She gently pushed Ashley backward, guiding her across the bed until they both fell onto the mattress. Ashley moved a little farther back as Esther finished taking off her heels.

After slipping off her own heels, Esther climbed onto the bed and immediately straddled Ashley.

She leaned down to kiss her again, this time with even more passion. Their lips met in an intense kiss, their breaths mingling as they gave themselves over to the pleasure of the moment.

After a few minutes, Esther finally sat up.

She reached behind her and began unzipping the back of her dress.

Ashley sat up as well, facing her in silence, her eyes fixed on Esther as she slowly pulled down the zipper.

Esther then took off her bra and panties, standing completely naked in front of Ashley. A big smile appeared on Ashley’s face, just like every time Esther undressed in front of her. Esther was delighted, especially when she saw the desire in Ashley’s eyes.

Ashley got up on her knees. As usual, Esther lifted the bottom of Ashley’s dress while Ashley raised her arms to help Esther undress her. Whenever they were having sex, Esther always insisted on undressing Ashley herself. She simply loved watching Ashley gradually become completely naked in front of her.

Once the dress was off, Esther immediately removed Ashley’s bra, revealing her beautiful, firm breasts. Her excitement grew as she gently caressed them before leaning down to kiss them passionately.

Ashley let herself fall onto the bed, with Esther over her, kissing and caressing her breasts. A soft moan of pleasure escaped her lips.

After a few moments, Esther slowly moved back up toward Ashley’s face. She looked into Ashley’s mesmerizing eyes and at her pretty face, trying to memorize every detail of the woman she loved. She wanted this moment to stay with her long after tonight was over.

Ashley gently brushed a strand of hair away from Esther’s face before pulling her closer for another kiss.

Esther slid her hand down Ashley’s side until she reached her panties and helped her remove them.

She then sat up once again, admiring Ashley’s beautiful naked body lying on the bed in her hotel room. This time, unlike at the beginning of their relationship, she could finally do whatever she wanted with the woman she desired the most.

She slowly slipped between Ashley’s legs and paused for a moment, looking up at her with a desire-filled smile. Her gaze traveled over Ashley’s body with unmistakable longing, bringing a faint smile to her partner’s face.

She then slowly leaned down, placing a few tender kisses along Ashley’s thighs before pressing her lips against Ashley’s vagina.

Ashley gasped with pleasure, her back arching as a sudden wave of sensation spread through her body.

Esther didn’t stop. If anything, Ashley’s reactions only seemed to encourage her, making her even more eager to continue. Ashley’s moans grew louder and louder, breaking the silence of the hotel room.

After a while, Esther finally stood up, wiping the moisture from her lips before moving over Ashley.

"Did you like it?" she asked.

"It was amazing," Ashley replied before pulling her into another passionate kiss.

Ashley then rolled them over, ending up on top. She gradually showered Esther with kisses, starting from her lips and slowly moving downward until her kiss finally arrived between Esther’s thighs, sending shivers through Esther’s body.

Esther gasped, overwhelmed by the sensations. She cried out in pleasure despite herself, her eyes rolling back because of the intense sensation as her back lifted off the bed from Ashley’s tongue licking and penetrating her. Ashley continued licking her while rubbing her intimate area, which had become so wet with arousal.

Eventually, Esther could no longer hold back and reached her climax because of Ashley’s expert tongue.

Ashley moved back up toward her while Esther was still trying to regain her senses, then gently caressed her face. Ashley’s hand slowly moved from her arm down to her hip before finally settling and caressing between Esther’s legs.

"Um... um... um," Esther moaned as Ashley began rubbing her already highly sensitive vagina. She moaned even louder when Ashley slipped two fingers inside her and began moving her hand back and forth. Esther’s eyes were completely closed as she became completely lost in the intense euphoria.

Ashley kissed her, interrupting her moans for a few seconds, until Esther broke the kiss to catch her breath. Her body could no longer remain still. She wrapped her arms around Ashley, caressing her back and deepening their intimacy.

A few moments later, another shiver ran through her body. But this time, Ashley did not stop. She slipped one leg between Esther’s legs and sat on Esther’s other thigh until their wet intimate areas came into contact.

She then began moving her hips, rubbing their vaginas together.

Esther decided to open her eyes and admire Ashley’s beautiful, sensual movements despite the intense sensations running through her body. She even decided to take part, placing one hand on Ashley’s hip to intensify their movements and the sensations.

Ashley’s breathing grew heavier, and loud moans escaped her lips, matching Esther’s rhythm. For several minutes, loud moans were the only sound echoing throughout the room.

Finally, Ashley collapsed onto Esther, who had already been lost in ecstasy for quite some time.

Ashley rolled onto her back beside Esther, slowly catching her breath. For a few seconds, neither of them said anything.

Then Esther turned toward her and moved closer, resting her head against Ashley’s chest.

At first, she cried quietly, trying to keep Ashley from noticing. She buried her face against her, hoping she could hide the tears.

But she couldn’t hold it.

Her emotions took over, and she finally let herself cry.

Because this was really the end.

It was officially over between them.

She would never feel the warmth of Ashley’s body against hers again.

She would never be this close to her again, close enough to smell her familiar perfume.

She would never taste those soft lips again.

She would never see this intimate, vulnerable side of Ashley again.

It was over.

And the thought hurt more than she had expected. It felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest.

Ashley soon started crying too. She wrapped her arms tightly around Esther and held her close without saying a word.

For almost an hour, they stayed like that beneath the thin white sheet, holding each other and neither wanting to let go.

But eventually, they had to face reality.

It was almost 1 a.m., and Ashley had to leave if she wanted to keep her promise to Clara.

Reluctantly, Ashley got out of bed and went to take a shower. She washed away Esther’s scent from her skin before going back to the woman she had promised to return to.

When Ashley came back, Esther was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were still tear stains on her cheeks.

She looked up when Ashley approached.

"Are you going to be okay?" Ashley asked softly.

Esther slowly shook her head.

Ashley walked over to her and crouched down in front of her, trying to catch her gaze.

"I’m sure you’ll be okay," Ashley said gently. "You’re a strong woman, and I know you’ll find someone who makes you happy. Probably sooner than you think."

Esther didn’t answer.

She just looked at Ashley with tired, tear-filled eyes, as if she were trying to memorize her face.

"Do you want me to stay until you fall asleep?" Ashley asked, even though she knew it could mean breaking her promise to Clara.

Esther stared at her for a long moment.

A part of her wanted to say yes.

She wanted Ashley to stay. She wanted a few more hours with her, even if they did nothing but lie beside each other.

But she could see the sadness in Ashley’s eyes too. Ashley was hurting just as much as she was, even though she was trying her best not to show it.

"No, don’t worry. I’ll be okay. You can go," Esther finally said, forcing a small smile.

She didn’t want to put Ashley in that position.

After everything Ashley had done for her, the least Esther could do was respect the promise Ashley had made to Clara.

Ashley slowly stood up, but before she could leave, she pulled Esther into one last long hug.

Esther immediately wrapped her arms around her, holding her tightly because she knew this would be the last time she could hug Ashley as her lover.

They stayed like that for a few more moments, holding each other and trying to make those last few seconds count.

Finally, Ashley pulled away.

She looked into Esther’s eyes one last time before leaning forward and giving her a soft, lingering kiss.

Then she turned around, walked to the door, and stepped out.

The door closed quietly behind her.

The moment Esther heard it shut, the tears came back.

She covered her face with both hands and finally let herself cry.

But through the tears, she made herself a promise.

She would move on.

She would do everything she could to turn the page and find happiness again.

Clara sat comfortably in her private jet, waiting for 2 a.m. and Ashley’s return. To pass the time, she opened a bottle of champagne and checked social media.

Unfortunately for her, pictures of Ashley and Esther leaving the party together were already everywhere.

And Esther’s fans wouldn’t stop sending her messages, telling her to stay out of their way and let the two of them be happy.

Clara usually knew how to keep her cool.

But right now, she was pissed.

She was pissed at all these people sticking their noses into her relationship, and even more pissed at Ashley for ruining her plan to shut all those haters up.

And, of course, she was furious that Ashley had actually asked her permission to sleep with another woman.

Especially after Clara herself hadn’t been with anyone else since they got engaged.

Sure, she flirted with other women from time to time.

But that didn’t count.

Right?

"How dare she?" Clara muttered to herself. "She’s going to pay for this."

She downed an entire glass of champagne while looking at the picture again.

Ashley and Esther were walking out of the party hand in hand, looking like two women completely in love with each other.

Through the window of the jet, Clara spotted the car that had gone to pick Ashley up.

She quickly fixed her hair and straightened her clothes, making sure she didn’t look pathetic waiting for her fiancée after what was probably one of the best nights of Ashley’s life.

Clara glanced at the clock.

There were still forty minutes left before two.

She was actually a little grateful that Ashley hadn’t made her wait until the last minute.

But that wouldn’t change the cold treatment Clara had planned for her.

When Ashley finally climbed the stairs onto the jet, Clara was ready to greet her.

Ashley stepped inside.

Then she stopped the moment she saw Clara.

"I hope you had a good time," Clara was about to say sarcastically.

But the words never came out.

The moment she saw Ashley’s face, everything changed.

Her eyes were red.

She had clearly been crying the entire way back.

Why had she cried so much?

Wasn’t Esther supposed to be the one crying after losing the woman she loved?

Then Clara remembered the past few months.

Ever since filming had ended, Ashley had constantly talked about Esther.

She had told Clara over and over again how much she missed her.

At the time, Clara had thought Ashley was just trying to annoy her.

But now, after looking into Ashley’s eyes, she finally understood.

Ashley hadn’t been doing it to annoy her.

She had been doing it because she had fallen in love with Esther.

Clara’s heart skipped a beat at the realization.

She had forgotten that, unlike her, Ashley was warm with almost everyone and got attached easily.

By giving Ashley the freedom to have other relationships, Clara had basically given her the chance to fall in love with someone else.

If only Clara had been more faithful.

None of this would have happened.

So what was she supposed to do now?

Ashley hadn’t moved an inch.

She knew Clara understood now.

She knew Clara had finally realized what Ashley had been trying to tell her for months, even though she had never had the courage to say it directly.

So she simply stood there, waiting for Clara’s reaction.

Waiting for her verdict.

Clara wanted to ask just one question.

"Do you still love me?"

But she was terrified of the answer Ashley might give her.

She couldn’t even imagine what she would do if Ashley walked out of her life again.

There was one thing Clara knew for sure, though.

Ashley had come back.

She had chosen Clara over Esther.

Clara slowly stood up from her chair.

The alcohol in her system no longer seemed to have any effect. The adrenaline rushing through her body had completely taken over.

She walked toward Ashley.

For a moment, Clara considered confronting her.

Asking her what had happened.

Asking her whether she still loved her.

But in the end, she chose not to.

Instead, she wrapped her arms around Ashley and pulled her into a hug.

Maybe it was cowardly.

Maybe she was simply avoiding the confrontation.

But Clara didn’t care.

She wasn’t willing to risk losing Ashley.

It didn’t matter if Ashley loved two people at the same time.

It didn’t even matter if Ashley loved someone else more than she loved Clara.

What mattered was that Ashley was still here.

And from now on, Clara knew she had to stop playing these stupid games.

She needed to give Ashley the love she deserved.

She needed to make her feel loved again.

And, little by little, she would do everything she could to become the only person in Ashley’s heart once again.
