~ Asher's POV ~
Last night was... nothing short of amazing.
Even as he was waking up the next day, Asher was still replaying the moments from last night. He recalled the moment when Zoie came unraveling around him, her hot juices spurting out and covering his length. Nothing felt more divine at that moment. If he could hold it in to enjoy the moment a second longer, he would, but he couldn't. Everything inside him felt like exploding. And so, he did.
Asher pushed himself hard and deep for one last time, so far deep that he could feel his tip hitting her cervix. That was it right there. Asher's length pulsed and throbbed as he spilled his load inside her.
"Aaahhhhh! Asheeer!!!"
Zoie cried his name out loud and her walls clenched around him, milking every drop. Asher let out a string of curses as his body fell down next to hers. It was the best release he's had in years. Or maybe the best one ever. He came so damn hard and so damn much, white liquid was leaking out of her when he pulled out.
Fúck...
Asher
was absolutely spent. His chest was heaving up and down as he lay next to her. Zoie
was panting too, trying to catch her breath. Asher pulled her body closer and
wrapped her in his arms until they both steadied their breathing.
Their bodies were pressed tightly against each other with her back to his chest. Zoie was drifting into sleep with the feeling of his fingers running circles up and down her skin. Asher was slowly dozing off, until suddenly, Zoie spoke.
"...Ash,"
she whispered weakly.
"Hm?"
"Are
you mine too?" she said deliriously. Her eyes were closing. She couldn't keep
them open.
Asher
let out a chuckle. He leaned forward to see her sleepy face. She was completely
dozed off now. Asher just smiled as he kissed her forehead, whispering softly, "I'm
yours, Zoie. All yours,"
Maybe Zoie didn't even hear it because she was asleep, but Asher didn't care. That was the truth and he was glad to have it out there. And with that, he fell into a deep, peaceful sleep. The best one he's had in years.

When Asher opened his eyes next, he was greeted by the sight and scent of her. He was staring at the back of her neck, her porcelain skin was glowing in the morning light. She smelled like flowers and it made him feel like he was waking up in a field of roses.
Asher shuffled back slowly and gently so as not to wake her up. Looking down under the duvet, he saw their naked bodies still pressing against each other. Her beautiful, naked ass cheeks were right in front of his groin. He could even see the remnants from last night still on her and on the sheets around them. Asher touched the wet patch on the sheets and swallowed hard.
"Shit..." he muttered.
Asher's voice caused Zoie to stir in her sleep. She rolled her body over so she was facing him. Slowly, she began to open her eyes. Her lips curved into a smile as she whispered, "Ash...?"
"H-hey," he stammered nervously. "Good morning..."
Zoie was full on smiling now. She snuggled closer into his chest, burying her nose in the crook of his neck, reveling in his warmth.
"Good morning," she replied. Her hand snaked around his body and clung to his back.
Zoie leaned closer because she wanted to kiss him good morning, but Asher didn't move an inch. He fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to do. Of course, he wanted nothing more than to hug her back or to kiss her, but there was a question that was stuck in his mind. He debated whether or not he should ask, and he figured that he should. Slowly, he started to pull away.
"Zoie..."
"Hm?"
"I think we need to talk about last night,"
Zoie looked up at him and her bright purple eyes were shining like never before, causing him to get even more nervous.
"I agree," she said. "I think last night was amazing-"
"-I made a mistake," Asher said abruptly.
"What?"
"I forgot to use protection,"
"Oh. Well... I don't have any STDs or anything like that. Do you?"
"No, but that's not it," he shook his head firmly. "Are you on the pills?"
Zoie's smile fell instantly.
"...No..." she said weakly.
"So you got the shot?"
"No,"
"But you're using something, right?"
"Ash-"
"Please tell me you're on something!" Asher almost shouted. He was nervous and apprehensive. It might've come out as him being angry.
Zoie moved back and looked up at him again. Her eyes looked scared. That made Asher even more nervous still.
"I'm... not on anything," she said finally.
"What?!" he yelled.
"Miles was always using protection, and I thought I wouldn't need one since I'm not even dating---"
"Zoie! I fúcking came inside you! You should've said something!"
Asher was full on yelling now. Zoie was taken aback. She could only stare at him with a horrified look on her face.
"I-I'm sorry," she started stammering. "I-I didn't realize it - and last night, everything happened so fast-"
"This is bad! This is fúcking bad! You realize that, right?" Asher haphazardly rolled off the bed and scrambled to get his pants on. Zoie sat up and pulled the duvet to cover her naked body.
"I'm sure it won't happen," she said reassuringly. "I mean, I just got my period a couple of days ago---"
"Shit! Fúck! Shit!"
Asher wasn't hearing her. He just kept cursing at the ground as he grabbed his shirt and quickly put it on.
"Ash, calm down!" she yelled over his curses.
"We can't risk it!" he yelled back. "This is not a joke, Zoie! What if something happens to you?! What will your dad say?!"
Zoie's mouth fell open, but she couldn't speak. Asher groaned in frustration as he raked his hair with his hand.
"Is... is that all that you care about?" she spoke finally. "What my dad says?"
Asher didn't even hear her. His mind was too busy racing. He glanced at the clock on the wall and it was about 10.30 in the morning. If fertilization indeed happened, it probably happened only a few hours ago, so there was still a big chance to fix it.
Shit! I gotta do something now!
"Ash?" Zoie called out again, but he just ignored her. He grabbed his wallet and car key from the bedside table before quickly putting his shoes on.
"I'll be right back," Asher said in a commanding tone. "Stay here!"
Not wasting any more time, he dashed out of the bedroom, leaving Zoie completely bewildered.
"Asher!" Zoie yelled after him one more time, but Asher was already gone.

~ Zoie's POV ~
Letting out a defeated sigh, Zoie clung onto the duvet and pulled it to cover her bare chest. She was still sitting on the bed, replaying what just happened.
One minute, she felt like she was in heaven, sleeping in Asher's arms. Last night was perhaps the best night she's ever had. She never felt anything more wonderful and lovely. No matter how many times she's tried having sex with Miles, it never happened like this. It was the most intense and passionate experience she's ever had. And when she woke up in the morning, seeing Asher's face only confirmed her feelings. Her heart was jumping up and down in excitement. She never felt happier. And she even thought about those three words in her head.
Oh my God. I think I love him...
But sadly, that moment didn't last very long. If Zoie was waking up with the warmth of the world, Asher was being cold as ice. He didn't even kiss her good morning or give her some time to process everything, he just pretty much exploded.
I mean, yeah, it'll be really bad if I get pregnant, but does he have to act like that?
Zoie let out another sigh as she pulled out her phone. She checked her period tracker, and sure enough, she wasn't ovulating this week. Not even close. Sure, there are chances that pregnancy can still happen outside the window of ovulation, but that is rare.
And besides, we only did it one time. What are the odds something like that could even happen?
Zoie put her phone away and slumped down on the bed. She looked up at the ceiling and her mind began to wander. Her hand moved aimlessly down her body and her fingers settled on her lower stomach. She started touching herself down there, feeling the rawness of her sensitive skin.
Wow. Last night was so crazy.
Zoie could still feel the shivers and tingles. He made her come so hard and so many times, she didn't think something like this was possible. And the grand finale of it all, that moment when he came inside her... it was honestly mind-blowing.
Closing her eyes, Zoie could still see it all. That moment just before he reached his climax, his breathing got heavier and his thrusts got more feral. Zoie felt like her body was being thrown into the abyss. And just when she thought that it couldn't get any better, she felt warm liquid shooting inside of her. Asher was grunting and groaning. His length pulsated and throbbed. Zoie could feel everything. Now she knew what it meant that two people were becoming one.
Zoie felt all warm and fuzzy inside. She felt happy, accomplished, and satisfied. And best of all, she saw the same thing happening to Asher. It made her feel a certain way that she was able to help him get to that magical feeling. A feeling that only exists for the two of them to know.
God... I wanna feel that again...
* Knock * Knock *
Suddenly, the knock on the door pulled Zoie from her daydreaming. She quickly pulled her hand out and covered herself with the duvet again.
Slowly, the door creaked open and Asher came back in. His face looked downcast and he had a brown CVS paper bag in his hand. Closing the door shut, he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Hey..." Zoie spoke up first. "Where'd you go?"
"Zoie..." Asher opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. His expression looked like he was in pain.
Zoie let out a sigh and sat up straighter. Her hand reached out to touch his knee and he put a hand on her hand, lacing their fingers together. This simple gesture was enough to make her heart swell in size.
"Listen..." he spoke finally. "Last night... It was a mistake,"
Zoie could feel her heart dropping to her stomach.
"What are you talking about?" she demanded, her hand pulling away instinctively.
"What I did... It was careless and stupid," he said with his head down. "I had no self control. I should've known better..."
Zoie shook her head and said, "Ash, it's okay--"
"It's not okay!" he cut her off sharply. "I'm supposed to be protecting you, and I---!"
Asher couldn't finish his words. His jaw was clenched shut, gritting his teeth. His eyes looked lost, and that sight of him made Zoie's heart ache.
"Asher," she said as she cupped his face with her hands. "I love---"
"You need to take this!" Asher spoke over her, handing her the brown bag and pushing her hands off his face. "Now,"
Zoie looked down in confusion.
"What is this?"
Asher simply left her with the brown bag and he got up.
"I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything,"
He didn't even give any other explanation and he just walked out of the room. Zoie was utterly dumbfounded and confused. Her heart was sinking in her stomach. Slowly, she opened the brown paper bag to see a box of Plan B pills.
Zoie swallowed hard.
