Chapter 26: Share a bed?

“What are you doing”! Ashton asked aggressively as soon as he barged in the room only to find Caleb sitting on the bed comfortably.

“What do you think”? Caleb teased him. He wouldn’t really sleep on the bed, but flustered Ashton was really fun to tease for him.

Ashton closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying “You sure you want to spend the night on my bed”? Ashton smirked. The sudden change in his expression confused Caleb. Exactly what was going in his head?

“Yeah…” Caleb agreed reluctantly to see where he was going with this.

“Good” Ashton announced nonchalantly and hopped on the bed. Caleb’s eyes widened for a moment and he considered moving off the bed. However, he didn’t actually go through with it given how he didn’t like giving up, even if it was a silly fight like this.

“I hope your luxury ass can manage the entire night in such a small place”, Ashton smirked. Caleb smirked back at him, “I have spent nights in way more uncomfortable places than some congested bed”.

“Good”. Ashton smirked. He turned around and lied down peacefully. Caleb considered for a moment about making different arrangements, but decided to stay in the bed because he didn’t expect any danger from him. For a Pureblooded Alpha,? Ashton was way less scary.

Both of them slept facing their backs to each other. Even for Ashton it was a bit uncomfortable since the bed was considerably small and Ashton was not that used to sharing his space. With his suppressed frustration he battled Caleb for the majority of the blanket for a while before making peace with just half of it. “Why the hell did I invite you”? Ashton whispered followed by a sigh, before he dozed off to sleep.

Caleb was probably lost in his dreams when he heard some noise. It sounded like someone was in pain or some kind of distress. He opened his eyes and saw Ashton twitching and turning in the bed with a painful expression on his face. Was he having nightmares?

.....

Ashton was always cold and stoic, and yet at this very moment he looked so vulnerable. His heart ached seeing him like that.

“Ashton! Ashton”! He tried to shake him hoping that would help. It was of no use of course.

He couldn’t understand what the best course of action would be, so he did only one thing he could think of. He passed his hand between the bed and Ashton and pulled him into a hug. He patted him on the back while Caleb’s chin laid above Ashton’s head.

It took him a few minutes, but eventually he calmed down which was evident when his breathing became even. Concerned, that the nightmares will come back, Caleb still didn’t let him go yet and continued to rub his hands over his back to comfort him.

Ashton’s face was right above Caleb’s neck, which allowed him to get his original scent directly, despite all the stinky pheromones. Even in his sleep, that smell calmed him down. Caleb started to drift again in that same position when suddenly he felt something soft on his neck.

Wait, that felt like lips? Was he being kissed? He tried to pull away but he realized Ashton was hugging him close as well, which unfortunately restricted his movements.

He thought maybe Ashton’s lips were just touching him because of the position they were in. However he was proved wrong when he felt the sucking and the nibbling on his nape of neck.

What surprised Caleb even more was that instead of being disgusted or uncomfortable, he enjoyed it. His breath hitched, and he could hear the thundering throbs of his own heart. He knew it was wrong to take advantage of the situation, which is why he did his best to pull away, only to be hugged even tighter.

He tried calling his name, hoping that would stop him, but instead what came out of his mouth embarrassed him further, “Ahh...”

He bit his lower lip to prevent further noise, but the torture of Ashton’s lips was making it harder for him by the minute. At this point he could even feel his teeth on his neck. He was sure he would wake up with a hickey next morning. Caleb almost tasted blood in his mouth by how much he was biting his lip. At this point he was lucky that Ashton didn’t actually bite and mark him.

After a while Ashton’s assault on him slowed down and gradually it stopped. He fell into deep slumber. It made Caleb wonder, was he having a wet dream and he happened to be nearby? He was confused with the situation and what to make of it. Nevertheless he tried to calm himself down and wished that Ashton would not try the same thing again.

After he calmed down his racing heart? he tried a few more times to escape his hug, but the fear of awakening Ashton to the point of repeating the same thing, he became still and tried to fall asleep.

It took him hours to finally fall asleep, which is why he was very annoyed when Ashton’s scream woke him up.

“Ahh, why are you hugging me”? He asked Caleb with his disheveled hair covering most of his eyes.

“You tell me,” He replied in his sleepy manner without opening his eyes. After pushing Caleb away Ashton got up and brushed his teeth. When he finally came back to the bed, he tried to wake Caleb up when he noticed something reddish in his neck. Was there an insect in his room he didn’t know about?

“Caleb, wake up”! he shook him slightly. He grunted but didn’t say anything or open his eyes.

He finally opened his eyes, and stared at him sluggishly. “Something bit your in the neck” Ashton informed Caleb.

“Yeah. You did” Caleb replied nonchalantly in his sleepy daze.

“What”? Ashton asked him skeptically, thinking Caleb was playing with him or something.

“Yeah, last night. You ruined my sleep” Caleb replied to him while rubbing his eyes.

“You are kidding right”? Ashton asked him carefully. He was literally waiting for this thing to turn into a joke.

“You know what, yes. I am kidding. I am the one who bit myself ON MY NECK” Caleb replied with sarcasm and frustration.

Ashton’s face paled for the moment, “no no no no no” he kept mumbling.

“Hey! I am the one who has a hickey,? why are you freaking out”? Caleb asked him as if it was not a big deal.

“Because…” Ashton shouted mid panic but didn’t continue. “Never mind, you won’t understand anyways”.

“I might”. Caleb suggested. “Look kid, I know it seems no one will understand you because you are different than others. But you will see everyone is different in their own way, and everyone goes through what being different is like in their own way”. He sighed. “I know your biggest secret already, try sharing with me”. He encouraged Ashton.

“This is exactly why I didn’t want to share my bed in the first place” Ashton almost cried out. “Everyday I try my best to fight my urge to do all the crazy things Alphas are known for. While many don’t really bother controlling them, I do. I hate to be seen as some scary jerk alpha who….” He let out a breath, “... well, does something like this”.

“You are the first Alpha I have ever seen who will regret something like this”. Caleb whispered.

“So”? Ashton snapped with frustration.

“It’s nice”. Caleb snorted while petted Ashton’s hair softly. “Listen, don’t worry about it. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. As a?victim, I forgive you”. Ashton didn’t reply anything to him but he did remove his hand from his hair.

Suddenly Caleb jumped out of the bed as if someone shocked him. “Oh my god, it’s late”! He panicked and jumped out of the window. Ashton rushed to the window to find the same giant white wolf which he encountered on his first day running into the woods. For the time being he just hoped Caleb made it home safely.
