Page 26 of Billionaire Unbroken - Asher
It vaguely entered my mind that Asher might be afraid of what he might do or how he would react if I did touch him, but as he lowered his head, every thought fled from my brain.
The sweet, sultry desire in his embrace blew me away.
It started as a sexy exploration that morphed into a kiss so hot that it made my toes curl.
Asher Remington knew exactly how to devour a woman’s lips until she was half crazy, and I couldn’t have stopped myself from kissing him back if my life depended on it.
While my mind had balked for an instant at having my hands restrained, I was mostly okay with it because I knew I could easily pull away.
He devoured my mouth with a hunger that made every nerve in my body react with a longing for so much more.
A chemistry that had probably always been simmering between us caught fire, and I burned for everything I hadn’t had in a very long time.
“Asher,” I moaned when he released my lips and buried his face in my neck. “This has to stop.”
I regretted my words as soon as he released my wrists and backed away.
The moment his body wasn’t against mine, I felt a sense of emptiness like I’d never experienced before.
“I shouldn’t have done that,” he said flatly. “But I’m not going to fucking pretend that I regret it.”
I sagged against the tree as I answered, “I don’t regret it, either, but it can’t happen again. You’re my boss, and I’m your housekeeper. I don’t think either of us needs for this relationship to get complicated.”
I couldn’t afford to lose this amazing job, and I probably should have thought about that before this man had laid his dangerous lips on mine.
Yeah, we were attracted to each other, but Asher and I came from two different worlds.
Asher nodded sharply and his expression suddenly shuttered. “It won’t happen again. Let’s head back.”
Damn!The last thing I’d wanted was to make him completely close down.
He’d just started to open up a little.
Maybe he thinks I rejected him?
Not possible.
A man like Asher Remington could have just about any single woman he wanted.
Still, as we silently made our way back to Asher’s home, I couldn’t help but notice that his defenses seemed to be firmly back in place.
Maybe it was safer that way, but I was definitely going to mourn the man I’d just started to get to know.
And I was definitely going to relive that kiss thousands of times in the future.
Asher is still just a fantasy, Sierra. Let it go!
By the time we got back to the barn, I’d managed to convince myself that our kiss had been an experiment for him, something he’d forget in record time. He was getting help, so it made sense that he wanted to test his boundaries, right?
Unfortunately, that heart-pounding embrace was probably something I’d never forget.
Asher
“Fuck!” I cursed as I listened to Sierra’s phone message early the next morning.
I’d been in the shower when she’d called me.
Her message had been extremely short, but it had been the tone of her voice that really concerned me.
