Chapter 22

Alyse

“What the fuck, Asher!” I scream, scrambling to sit up. I pull my ear buds out and climb to my feet, but my legs are wobbly, both from my recent orgasm and the anger now coursing wildly through my bloodstream. “How the hell did you get in here?”

A slow smile eats his face. He proudly holds up something gold and shiny between two deft fingers, waving it idly back and forth. “Extra key.”

I am completely mortified at the thought that he just sat there and watched me masturbate. And the fact that I practically yelled his name?

Oh.

My.

God.

How dare he.

“Get out.” I stab my finger toward the door. I wish to hell I was wearing something that covered more. I’m also wishing I hadn’t played Enigma on my Pandora app, which caused me to get so goddamn worked up I had no choice but to relieve the building pressure or I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Asher has gotten my body so attuned to sex every damn day that, even through my hurt and anger, all I can think of is how much I miss the press of his perfectly honed, masculine body against mine.

“No.”

“No?”

“That would be correct.”

Like a petulant child, I huff angrily and make my way to my bedroom, trying to slam and lock the door, but a well-placed foot thwarts that idea. I sigh and keep heading toward the bathroom, so I can at least grab a robe to cover up. But he’s on my heels and grabs it out of my hand as I go to put it on.

“Asher, stop. Just leave. Please.” The last word comes out soft and weak. I’m a little buzzed, emotionally drained, and I’m just not up for a verbal sparring match tonight.

After he crushed me with his three little words, I couldn’t concentrate. I tried to work, but finally gave up at four and left for the day. For about half a second, I briefly considered calling Al and swapping jobs with him, but I’m no quitter. I took this job, I committed to it, and no matter what happens with Asher and me personally, I will not shirk my professional responsibilities. I can’t do that to myself, my employees, or my business.

So I came home, took a bath, had a bottle of wine, and shed just a few tears. My anger has mostly dissipated, but the hurt lingers. Words are powerful. Too easily thrown around. I have to believe that Asher didn’t really mean them, but it doesn’t remove the sting they left behind either.

Playing his dominance card, he frames my face in his hands. “When I saw his hands on you, I lost my mind. I do trust you. I’m so sorry, Alyse.”

“Okay.”

“Okay? Just okay?”

I shrug. “What do you want me to say, Asher?”

“Yell, scream, hit me. Do whatever you need to do. I deserve it. I was an ass. I overreacted. I’m so sorry. But I want you to tell me you forgive me.”

“All right. I forgive you,” I tell him, my voice monotone.
