Asher pushed the door and held it open. “All you had to do was ask me to stay, and I would’ve.”
I believed him. He would do anything for me, which was an odd thing to feel because I had never been able to rely on anyone other than Christine the way I’d grown to count on him.
I folded my arms. “But what about your ex-girlfriend, my sister?”
“I’ll handle her.” He pointed his head toward the dusky hallway.
His nearness made me dizzy as I crossed the threshold. “How?” I asked, wondering where he was taking me.
He let the door close and took my hand as we walked quickly down the empty corridor.
“I’ll do what it takes.”
My curiosity continued to grow as we passed closed unmarked doors. “What does that mean, Jake?”
“It means I’ll handle Julia, and there’s no need for you to get involved. As a matter of fact…” We reached an elevator, and he pushed the only button associated with it. “I don’t want you knowing her.”
I put my hands on my hips. “I know Julia and I aren’t going to braid each other’s hair and swap boyfriend stories, but I’m pretty sure it’s not your place to demand that I not get to know her.”
“She’s dangerous, Penina,” he said, raising his voice.
“I gather that by all that you’ve told me about her.” My volume matched his.
“You don’t believe me?”
“I believe you.”
His features tightened. “Good. Then stay the fuck away from her because she will do whatever it takes to come between us.”
I sighed sharply. “I understand that, Jake. I mean, Asher. Plus, not only am I a big girl, but I’m pretty astute.”
The elevator doors opened, and he extended an arm, holding them open for me.
I stepped in. “And by the way, where are you taking me?”
He entered. “Somewhere private.”
As the doors closed, Asher curled an arm around me and tugged me against him. His hot and tasty tongue pushed its way past my lips. I moaned against his mouth as my head spun. His hard body against mine made my legs turn to jelly. Then he put the finishes on our kisses as the door slid open.
Breathing heavily and eyes afire from lust, he said, “I don’t want to talk about Julia or Greg right now. Get my drift?”
I gulped and nodded. Then we stepped into the hallway. What happened next occurred lightning fast.
The backsof my hands are pressed against the wall as Asher pins my arms above my head. Time slows as we stare into each other’s eyes. His warm breath collides with mine. It holds the scent of faded mint and an aroma that’s naturally his.
“I can’t get enough of your face,” he whispers.
“Likewise,” I say back.
Then our lips connect and stroke each other softly. We add soft, tasty, and hot tongue. My head spins as our kiss deepens. Deeper… More of his mouth consumes mine. I moan. My cells burst into flames. My pussy throbs.
I sough as his solid erection rubs against my pubis, demonstrating what he wants to do next.
“Shit. We’re not going to make it,” he mutters and tugs at the band of my sensible pants. “Take those off.”
No need to tell me twice. I slide my trousers down my legs and take my panties with them. When my garments bunch up around my feet, I see that Asher and I are stepping out of our trousers and underwear at the same time.
I can’t help myself as I grab his beautiful cock. The tip is glistening with precum. Back and forth, I shift it. It’s so solid in my hand.
