Chapter 6 Party for Two

Ashton slumped on his bed with a sigh as he stared at the ceiling. Lilith took a seat by the dresser and reached for her purse. Ashton didn't seem to notice this. He was lost in his thoughts as his eyes were fixated on the ceiling. Lilith looked at herself in the mirror and touched her cheek. Then, the same little plastic bag as before and opened it. She spread the white substance on the dresser and used her fingers to mound them into three thin parallel lines. Lilith turned to Ashton who still seemed engulfed in his thoughts. She shook her head and bent her head to the dresser.

She inhaled the first white line and it disappeared instantly into her nose.

Lilith threw her body back on the chair and leaned on it as she felt her body slowly go numb. Ashton, who had heard the snorting sound, snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Lilith who didn't seem to be moving. He slowly rose from the bed and went over to her. Seeing the parallel lines of cocaine on the dresser, his brows furrowed and he gazed at Lilith. Lilith seemed lost in ecstasy. The cocaine had taken over and she could barely feel her legs. Her head seemed lighter, and she felt like she could fly because she was light as a feather.

"Lilith!" Ashton yelled, snapping her out of her trance.

Lilith looked up at him lazily and smiled.

"Come on, Ashton. Have some," she said, reaching for his hand.

She held it but Ashton immediately freed himself and took a step backwards.

"No, Lilith. I can't," he said. "And why are you doing coke in my room? It's too risky!"

Lilith rose from the chair and walked up to him. There was some residue of cocaine on her nose. She cleaned her nose and sniffed roughly.

"What happened to you, Ashton?" She said, "You used to like stuff like this."

Ashton stepped backward with each step Lilith took.

"I told you. I quit doing stuff like that," he said. "I went to rehab too. You should do the same."

Lilith chuckled.

"Oh stop trying to act pure, Ashton. I know you can't resist it," she said.

Ashton's eyes gazed at the lines of cocaine on his dresser and he could feel something stuck at his throat. He gulped hard and tried to look away. Lilith had covered the distance between them and was now face-to-face with him. Ashton looked into her eyes and they were no more shiny but cold and stony. He was familiar with this. He had been through all of these before, but he had healed from it too.

"Who says I am?" He asked.

"You know what I'm talking about, Ashton," she replied.

She paused and looked at his lips. Ashton could feel his heart racing now. Lilith's lips were coming closer to his. He looked at the cocaine on the dresser for a second before going back to Lilith. But it was too late. Lilith's lips joined with his as she kissed him slowly. Her lips were cold and so was her nose. Ashton could feel his heart pounding hard against his ribs. Lilith always knew what he wanted. She was always right, and it was high time he stopped doubting her. He eased his nerves and kissed her back slowly, wrapping his hands around her waist.

Lilith pressed her lips harder against his and Ashton slipped his tongue into her mouth. He could feel warmth gather down at his groin. His heart pounded faster and he pulled Lilith closer to him. Lilith was now leaning on him. She sucked in his tongue slowly and Ashton tightened his grip around her waist. They broke off from the kiss and looked each other in the eyes. Lilith's eyes were still cold and stony. Ashton chuckled at this.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing," he replied.

He slammed his lips against hers and immediately reached for her zipper. Lilith moaned in his mouth as the kiss became savage. It explained his thirst for lust. Ashton pulled down her zipper and almost immediately, his hands arrived at the shoulders of her dress. He pulled them down and her dress fell to the floor revealing her breasts which were cupped in a black bra. Ashton broke off from the kiss and stared at her breasts. He smiled and placed his face on them. Lilith sighed and placed her hands on his head as he snuggled his nose in between them.

Lilith smelled good and Ashton couldn't help but inhale it. Her breasts were huge. That was one of the reasons he was always excited to get her undressed. They had done this a hundred times over, and Ashton finally seemed tired of it. He wanted something newer to explore. Like his new secretary downstairs. She must have left by now. The last time he had set eyes on her was just before he and Lilith had disappeared down the stairs. She seemed nervous as she drank from her glass.

Ashton paused and looked up at Lilith. Lilith was smiling at him. Her eyes went to the lines of cocaine that were on the table. Ashton knew exactly what she was going to say next.

"Have some before we begin," she offered.

Ashton let go of her and headed towards his dresser. This wasn't the first time she had convinced him to do drugs before they had sex. And Ashton couldn't deny the drug sex they always had. It was usually on a whole other level. He sat in front of the dresser and looked at himself in the mirror. His black hair was scattered now but it wasn't that bad. He took off his suit jacket and threw it on the bed. Then, he laid his head on the table and sniffed in half a line of cocaine.

Instantly, he could feel his nerves on fire. The nerves in his brain seemed to be fired up as well. He could feel every cell in his body dancing. Ashton laid back against the chair and sighed in ecstasy. He had missed this feeling so much. He couldn't believe that Lilith had convinced him to do something like this. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think of going back to doing cocaine. But in the last seventy-two hours, he had taken in cocaine twice under the influence of Lilith. Lilith appeared behind him in the mirror and placed her hands on his shoulders squeezing them softly. She was back in her dress now, but her breasts seemed more exposed than ever now.

"How do you feel?" She asked him.

Ashton chuckled as he stared at their reflection in the mirror.

"Like the weight of the world has been lifted over my shoulders," he replied.

Lilith smiled at that. She squeezed his shoulders gently and shut her eyes. Then, she came towards the dresser and sat on his lap. She sniffed in the remaining half line of cocaine and rubbed her nose afterward. There was only one left now. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so gorgeous sitting on Ashton. It was perfect. Everything was perfect now. Soon, Ashton would be back to his old self and he would be hers again.

Ashton sat up and held her waist. He kissed her cleavage before bringing his lips to hers. Lilith kissed him roughly. Her lips were cold as always. Ashton bit his lips and backed off, but Lilith held his hand and offered him more cocaine. Ashton nodded and sniffed in half of the last line of cocaine. He sighed in relief and leaned on the chair. Lilith watched him stare at the ceiling lost in thoughts as the cocaine battled with his body. He was numb now. Lilith sniffed in the remaining line and looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't feel her body anymore.

"I love you, Ashton," she said.

Ashton, who lost as he stared at the ceiling, finally replied after a few moments.

"I love you too, Lilith."
