An Evening with Ashton - part 1
You arrive at the hotel suite, greeting Ashton’s PR team with your usual professionalism before being ushered in to meet Ashton. The room is tastefully decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a stunning view of the city skyline. There’s a large, comfortable sofa and armchairs arranged for the interview, as well as a coffee table laden with refreshments.
You take a moment to admire the view and gather your thoughts before starting the interview. Ashton walks in, dressed casually but impeccably in a fitted shirt and dark jeans that show off his lean, muscular build. His hair is slightly messy, and his deep blue eyes sparkle as he smiles at you.
‘Hi, I’m Ashton,’ he says, extending his hand. ‘It’s great to finally meet you.’
You shake his hand firmly, noting the warmth of his touch. ‘Likewise,’ you reply. ‘Thanks for taking the time to speak with me today.’
Ashton nods and takes a seat on the sofa, gesturing for you to sit opposite him in one of the armchairs. You settle in, placing your notepad and recorder on the coffee table before turning on the recorder.
‘Let’s start with some questions about your latest project,’ you say, leaning forward slightly. ‘Can you tell me a bit about your experiences working with the cast?’
Ashton leans back, crossing one leg over the other as he considers his answer. ‘It was an amazing experience,’ he begins. ‘The cast was incredibly talented and we all got along really well.’ He pauses for a moment, his eyes flickering to the window before returning to meet yours. ‘There were some challenging scenes, but we supported each other through it all.’
You notice a slight hesitation in Ashton’s voice when he talks about commitment, hinting at his fear of it. This internal conflict could make for an interesting story angle.
As the interview progresses, you find yourself drawn to Ashton’s charm and wit. He answers your questions thoughtfully and intelligently, often making you laugh with his quick quips. The chemistry between you is undeniable, and you can’t help but feel a spark of attraction.
After the interview concludes, Ashton invites you to join him for drinks at a nearby bar. ‘I’d love to get to know you better,’ he says with a smile that makes your heart race.
You consider his offer, intrigued by the prospect of spending more time with him. The evening stretches ahead of you, full of possibilities.
The bar is dimly lit with soft music playing in the background, creating an intimate atmosphere that invites conversation and connection. You spot Ashton sitting at a corner table, looking even more handsome than he did during the interview. He stands up as you approach, greeting you with a warm smile. ‘You found it okay?’ he asks, gesturing for you to take a seat across from him. ‘Yes, thank you,’ you reply, taking in his boyish good looks and effortless charm. ‘I must admit, I wasn’t expecting such a cozy place.’ Ashton grins. ‘I like it here. It’s quiet enough for us to talk without being overheard, but lively enough that we won’t feel too isolated.’ A waitress arrives at your table, and you both order drinks – a glass of red wine for you and a whiskey on the rocks for Ashton. As she leaves to fetch your beverages, an awkward silence falls between you. You break it by complimenting him on his recent film. ‘Thank you,’ he says with a smile. ‘I appreciate that. It was a challenging role, but I enjoyed playing it.’ The conversation flows easily from there, with the two of you discussing your favorite films, books, and music. Ashton is witty and intelligent, able to hold his own in any conversation. His charm is undeniable, and you find yourself drawn to him more and more as the evening wears on. After a while, Ashton suggests engaging in role play by pretending to be characters from one of his recent films. You agree, intrigued by the idea of exploring different personas with him. The two of you dive into your roles, exchanging witty banter and playful teasing that sparks a flirtatious conversation about boundaries and desires. Ashton leans in close, his eyes locked on yours. ‘So, tell me,’ he says in a low voice, ‘what do you want?’ You feel your heart race as you reply, ‘I want to explore this connection between us. I want to see where it leads.’ Ashton smiles, his gaze intense. ‘And what if I told you that I want the same thing? That I can’t stop thinking about you?’ You feel a shiver run down your spine at his words. ‘Then I would say that we should definitely explore this further.’ The role play continues, with the two of you growing increasingly comfortable in your characters and with each other. The chemistry between you is palpable, and it’s clear that neither of you wants the evening to end. Eventually, Ashton leans in for a passionate kiss, his lips warm and soft against yours. You surrender to the moment, losing yourself in the sensation of his mouth on yours. The kiss deepens, becoming more urgent as your desire for each other grows. When you finally pull away, both of you are breathless and wanting more. Ashton looks at you with a mix of hunger and admiration in his eyes. ‘I don’t want this night to end,’ he whispers. ‘Would you like to continue it somewhere more private?’ You hesitate for a moment, knowing that agreeing to go with him will change everything between you. But the desire in your heart is too strong to resist. You nod, your decision made. Ashton stands up and extends his hand towards you. ‘Then let’s go.’
