Undeniably Asher (The Colloway Brothers Book 2)(73)

“Fucking hell, Alyse. I’ve never felt anything like this. Like you.” His hot, ragged breath brushes against the shell of my ear. The raw hunger I hear in his tone showers a mist of erotic chills down on me.

My slick walls clamp down on a loud, broken sob and Asher’s fingers tighten almost painfully, a guttural “fuck yes” hissing in my ear repeatedly as he joins me in our place of pure, unadulterated ecstasy. It’s a place I can no longer imagine being taken to by anyone but him.

“Alyse…I…wow,” he exhales on a rush, holding me to him tightly. His body still trembles slightly in the aftermath of his powerful climax. Ditto, I think, but can’t possibly voice, because all of my muscles are on lockdown. When our bodies sag in sated weakness, I know it’s time.

Asher has let me into his world completely. I need to do the same. I just hope I can figure out how before it’s too late.





Chapter 27





Asher





“Thank you for tonight. For accepting me,” I confess into the darkened room.

Alyse is sprawled over me, her leg pinning me to the bed. The feeling of having her in my arms and in my bed after the night we shared is nothing short of total and complete serenity. I’ve never been more at peace.

“You don’t have to thank me, Asher. I—honestly, I wasn’t sure what to think at first, but I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t turned on. I told you I wouldn’t judge and I didn’t. I enjoyed myself, actually.”

“I’m glad.”

“Do you think anyone…saw us?”

I laugh. “Doubtful, given where we were in the club, but it’s the thought that they could that drives that need in me the most, I think. I’m not a hard-core exhibitionist. Would you be embarrassed if they did?”

She’s silent for a few beats. I pray she doesn’t have any regrets. That would gut me. “I’m not sure. I don’t want an audience standing there, clapping when we’re done, throwing twenties, but I have to admit, the thought of someone seeing the wicked things you were doing to me from afar turned me on more. When we first came in, I watched this woman giving a guy a blow job and I…”

“You what,” I prod when she goes silent for too long.

“I liked it,” she whispers so low I almost can’t hear.

I hook a finger under her chin, tilting her head up. “Alyse, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone there is either a member or an approved guest and they all have the same preferences.”

“How can you want to share me like that, but you can’t stand the thought of another man even looking at me? I can’t reconcile that.”

I sigh heavily, because I’ve been asking myself that same exact question for weeks. It makes no sense, but I’d repeat tonight again in a fucking heartbeat. It was the single hottest sexual experience of my life.

“I don’t know, Alyse. I don’t know exactly how to explain it. It’s a part of me I never fully understood, just accepted. You may have noticed I took you to the most remote part of the club, so the risk was obviously still there, but the chance of getting a lot of attention was small. Maybe on some subconscious level, I don’t want to share you as much as I thought I did.”

“Do you want to go back?” she asks.

“Do you?”

“Yes,” she whispers and I can’t help but smile. She may have a kinky side, but this isn’t engrained in her like it is me, so I have to think she’ll always be embarrassed about the rush it gives her.

“Then we shall.”

“Do you go there often?”

“No. That was only the third time I’ve been.”

“Did you ever…”

“Have sex?” I finish for her.

She nods.

“No.”

I feel her body relax. “I’m glad.”

“Me too.”

“Do you have sex in other public places?”

“Every chance I get,” I joke and it makes her laugh. I love her laugh.

I love her eyes.

I love her intelligence.

Hell, I love everything about this woman.

My thumb traces the outline of her full, sexy lips and I know this is the right time to say the words bursting inside me.

“You are the most remarkable woman I’ve ever met, Alyse, and not just because of tonight. You’re strong, yet vulnerable. You’re innocent, but wild. You’re like this multifaceted, multilayered puzzle. To get to the next level, I have to find the key to unlocking the first one. I can’t tell you how desperately I want to unlock every single one of your layers until I’m at your very core.”

“Asher—”
