I want to tell him he can do whatever he wants with my mouth, but even I know this isn’t the time or the place.
Soon.
“What were you working on?” I ask as I push off the wall.
“I was getting ready to load the bar up.”
“Sounds easy enough. Put me to work.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to do something else? You came here with the girls.”
I scoff. “Please, they haven’t even noticed I’m missing. Now tell me what to do.”
His eyes darken.
“I can’t wait to hear you say that when we’re alone.”
I can’t help but shiver with anticipation.
Me too, Asher. Me fucking too.
Instead of pulling me out the back door and fucking me in the alley, Asher bends down and picks up a box.
“Come on. Grab one and follow me out front.”
Leaning down, I grab a box. It’s heavier than I anticipated, making me grunt.
“You good?”
“I got it. Lead the way.”
I follow him down the hall and back into the bar.
As we step out, Ridge turns on some music and then disappears into the back. Rain and Maggie fuck around while hanging decor. Asher and I stock the bar.
Every time we pass by each other, one of us lightly touches the other. Desire between us builds and builds with every passing minute.
When the girls aren’t paying attention and I’m stocking the glasses, Asher comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. He kisses me behind the ear, making me gasp.
“You like that?” he asks quietly.
“You know I do. My panties are wet, and it’s all your fault.”
“You say that like that wasn’t what I was trying to do.” He chuckles under his breath.
“Well, are you going to do something about it?”
“Maybe later.” He steps back and slaps my ass. As he walks away, he calls over his shoulder. “Stop distracting me, Aspen. I’m trying to get some work done.”
Ass. He’s a fucking ass. But he’s mine.
ASHER
Teasing my girl is quickly becoming my favorite pastime. She comes alive with praise, and her breath catches every time I hint at doing something with her.
It would be so fucking easy to fall into bed with her, but we can’t. Not yet. Not until I know she’s ready. We’ve come too far to fuck it all up now just to fulfill a primal need.
No, my hand will do the job for now.
