Haley winked and smiled at me through the window as she opened the back door.

“I like her,” Sheila whispered loudly as we walked up the sidewalk to the porch. “She seems sweet.”

I bit the inside of my cheek because only Sheila would describe Haley as sweet. Although she could be, Haley was feisty. “She is.”

“Next time you bring Nix over, you’ll have to invite her. We can have dinner.”

“I’m sure she would love that.” I grabbed Nix’s bag, gave her one more quick hug and walked back to the truck where my two girls waited for me.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

HALEY

“This is decidedly lessfun than our last packing party.” I huffed, wiping the sweat from my brow. It was sticky in my house. Not humid, because it was only early spring, but a slightly less level of annoying. “Why is it so hot in here? It’s like a sauna.”

“I think it’s fun,” Nix said and jumped splashing in the small water puddle that sat in the middle of my bedroom floor.

“I would prefer if we were in a sauna. You’d be in a towel.” Asher growled in my ear, low enough for only me to hear. My breath caught in my throat, but I recovered quickly.

“Who says I’d wear a towel at all?”

Asher groaned. “Hey, Nix. Why don’t you go see if you can find the pink unicorn blanket in the living room? I’m sure Haley would love to bring it with us.”

“Okay,” she said and hopped out of the room splashing in little puddles along the way.

“You know that blanket is in the closet,” I stated as Asher shut the door. Without saying a word, he stalked toward me. His face full of hunger as he backed me against the wall.

“The thought of you in nothing is really fucking with my head, Hales,” he growled. Damn, that was sexy. “I’ve been thinking about it since this morning. When we woke up and you were in that sexy thong with nothing else. I was dying for you to turn around.” His nose trailed along my jaw and my lashes fluttered. My breath hitching in my throat, pulse racing.

“You want to see me naked?” I whispered.

“Mhmm. I want to see these clothes on my floor.” His rough hands ran along my waist, just under my shirt. “You in my bed.” He nipped at my neck and a shudder coursed through me. “Tell me. Are your tits the perfect handful? Are your nipples rosy pink and begging for my mouth?” His hands wandered up further, stopping just before he reached my chest.

Shit.

“Asher,” I sighed, pressing my hips against his. His jean covered cock hard against me.

His teeth grazed my earlobe. “Do you want me to kiss you, Haley?”

“Yes.”

“Thank god.” He mumbled before crushing his mouth against mine. One hand went to the back of my head, holding me in place as he deepened the kiss. His other hand went to my ass and squeezed hard, making me gasp. Ash took full advantage, sweeping in his tongue to tangle with mine.

I moaned, sliding my arm around the back of his neck. I never knew Asher would be the type to take such control of my body, but it was the hottest fucking kiss of my life.

Nothing like the two we’d shared earlier today.

Thiswas the Asher that kissed me after the wedding. This was the Asher that blew my mind.

Releasing my ass, he ran his hand up to the base of my throat, squeezing it; not enough to hurt, but enough to turn me on even further.

Suddenly, his body withdrew from mine, putting distance between us. His brown eyes looked wild as his chest heaved. He turned, running a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry,” he said, and my heart clenched.

“Seriously? You’re going to apologize for that?” I threw my hands up. “What? Was that a mistake, too?” My neck heated as I pushed off the wall, fully intending on walking out of the room. Screw it. I’d call Rylie and stay with her until I could get a hotel. I wasn’t about to keep playing this game with Asher.

I couldn’t.

“Woah, woah, woah.” Asher hooked an arm around my bicep, spinning me around and pulling my body back into his. He held me tight as he pressed his lips to mine sweetly. A complete contrast to what just happened moments ago.
