Page 54 of Billionaire Unbroken - Asher
I froze, so surprised that I wasn’t sure I’d heard her right.
I pulled my head back and lifted hers so I could see her face.
“Is that really what you want?” I asked huskily.
I could absolutely guarantee that the situation would get complicated for me, but I wanted Sierra so badly that I didn’t give a shit.
The desire in her eyes made my gut twist.
“Yes,” she answered. “No strings. No promises. Only a few conditions.”
“Tell me,” I urged.
“The bedroom has to be dark, and you can’t restrain me. You’ll have to trust me enough not to touch you without your permission. I have some scars, and that’s all I really want to say about that right now.”
That worked for me since I had scars of my own, and I did trust her.
There was no way I’d want her in my bed if I didn’t.
“Done,” I said in a guttural voice.
I wasn’t sure I even wanted to keep those boundaries of her not touching me, but the last thing I wanted to do was hurt her if I had some kind of weird, reflexive reaction.
I hoped that she didn’t end up regretting her decision, but I wasn’t about to give her time to second-guess her suggestion.
I scooped her up and carried her out of the hot tub.
I put her on her feet for a moment so I could dry us both off.
“I can do that,” she said, bemused.
“I’m always going to take any reason I can find to touch you,” I said roughly as I tossed the wet towel aside and picked her up again.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and sighed. “Even if this only happens once, I’m not going to regret it. Just once, I want to see what it feels like to be with you.”
Just once, my ass!
Now probably wasn’t the time to tell her that once I’d touched her, once I’d been inside her beautiful body, there was no way in hell I was ever going to let her go.
Sierra
“Shower,” I said when Asher carried me into his bedroom. “Just for a minute. I want to rinse the hot tub chemicals off me.”
There was a soft glow from the lamp at the side of the bed, but the bathroom was completely dark.
Asher’s blackout shades would plunge the room into total darkness once that lamp was extinguished.
My body was already primed for Asher, but I didn’t want this to happen when my skin was covered in stinky chemicals.
God, I could hardly believe that Asher Remington was going to take me to bed, but I didn’t regret offering.
I felt like I’d wanted him forever, and what I’d said was true.
We were both mature adults, and if we wanted to share our bodies without complications, we should be able to do it.
Yes, he was my boss, but we’d figure it out as we went along.
I’d never done anything like this before, but I’d never wanted a man the way I wanted Asher Remington.
