Chapter 16
Sierra
I sucked in a startled breath as Asher buried himself to the hilt in one powerful movement.
I’d been ready for it.
Eager for it.
But nothing had quite prepared me for the feeling of Asher completely seated inside my body.
“Fuck!” he cursed. “You’re tight, sweetheart. Relax. Did I hurt you?”
“No,” I hurriedly assured him as I wrapped my legs around his waist. “Don’t stop.”
He hadn’t hurt me.
I’d just been startled by his size and the feel of my body stretching to accommodate him.
He was big, but it wasn’t painful.
It was…absolutely perfect.
“You feel so damn good, Sierra,” he rasped beside my ear.
“Fuck me,” I urged. “Please.”
I couldn’t describe the animalistic need for him to claim my body, but it was there, and I didn’t want to fight it.
“You’ll never have to beg me for anything, gorgeous,” he said fiercely as he slowly pulled back and thrust into me again.
And again…
And again…
“Asher,” I said longingly, my voice trembling with desire.
I lifted my hips, catching his rhythm, straining to get as close to Asher as I could get.
I’d probably wanted him to be locked inside me like this from the first day we’d met, and it felt good not to have to pretend that I didn’t want this anymore.
I wanted him.
Just like this.
For as long as we both wanted it.
Every stroke of his cock drove my need higher.
“Fuck me hard, Asher. I’m not going to break,” I panted.
He put a hand under my ass and pulled me hard against him as he sped up his pace.
The two of us were perspiring, our skin sliding and slapping together sensually as we both reached for what we needed.
He ground down with every thrust, stimulating my clit until I felt something unfurl inside my belly.
“Yes,” I hissed. “Just like that. So good.”
I couldn’t quite believe that I was actually going to climax again.
I closed my eyes and my head fell back on the pillow.
I couldn’t see Asher, but God, I could feel him.
I could feel him in every atom of my body.
With every frantic beat of my heart.
My core clenched down hard on his cock.
“Do it!” Asher demanded. “Milk me, Sierra. I want to feel you come around my cock.”
Like my body understood his command, it immediately complied.
“Asher!” I called out, my core spasming around his enormous cock.
My short nails clawed at his back as I let go and fell into Asher.
In the moment, there was just the two of us and the insane need that flowed between us.
“Fuck!” he groaned as he buried himself deep inside me and found his own release.
It took me a while to start coming back to earth, and as I did, tears flowed steadily down my cheeks.
Never, in my wildest dreams, had I ever imagined that sex could be this amazing.
I’d suspected that it could be good, which was why I’d propositioned Asher, but I’d never really understood that it could be this…mind-blowing.
For a few moments, all I could do was clutch his big, gorgeous body to me as tightly as possible and try to breathe.
I felt so euphoric and so vulnerable at the same time that I was glad that it was so dark in the room.
I reached up and swiped the tears from my cheeks.
I didn’t want Asher to feel them and think something was wrong.
Nothing was wrong.
Everything felt so right that it was scary.
Asher rolled our bodies while we were still intimately connected, taking my weight on top of him so I didn’t get crushed beneath him.
I didn’t know how long we laid there recovering, but it was Asher who finally spoke.
“How is it possible that a beautiful woman like you has never had a man go down on her?” he questioned.
“It just never happened,” I said. “I’ve never been with a guy who wanted to do it. My sex life has probably always been boring.”
I could have said more.
It wasn’t like I didn’t trust Asher.
But I just wasn’t ready to discuss too much about my previous life.
I had a feeling that he sensed my reluctance because he said, “It’s their loss. There’s nothing more satisfying than having a woman coming under your mouth, in my opinion.”
I slapped him playfully. “Is there nothing you won’t say?”
Honestly, I found his dirty mouth incredibly sexy, but it was something that was going to take a while to get used to.
“Nothing,” he agreed. “I’m not going to pretend that I don’t want you anymore, Sierra.
I also don’t plan on keeping it to myself.
I plan on sharing it with you as often as possible.
This changes things for us, Sierra. I hope you realize that.
I want you in my bed every damn night. There’s still a lot of things we don’t know about each other, but we’ll talk in the future.
We’ll share when it feels right. I’m not going to push for anything you don’t want, but we have this.
We have this crazy chemistry between the two of us.
I can’t go back to pretending you’re just an employee to me, because it would be total bullshit. ”
I smiled into the darkness.
Asher’s tone was demanding, but he was stroking my hair gently.
This man might be fierce, but that scary facade hid a gentleness that had never been beaten out of him as a child.
“I can live with that,” I murmured. “I don’t think I can pretend anymore, either. Does that mean you’ll keep talking dirty to me?”
“As often as you’ll let me,” he said teasingly.
I sighed and threaded my hand into his hair. “I have no idea what’s going to happen, but for once in my life I’m not going to think about the future. I just want to be with you, Asher.”
He tightened his arm around my waist. “I’ll think about the future for both of us.
Which reminds me that I have to be in Austin in a week.
It’s just one meeting, but it’s something I should do in person.
I want you to come with me. We can visit your mother if you want.
It’s probably been a while since you’ve seen her. ”
My heart skipped a beat. “I’d love that, but she’s near Houston.”
“I have a private jet,” he answered drily. “And it’s not that long of a drive if we want to drive.”
“I’m not quite sure how to explain…you,” I said in a rush.
“Asher, there’s things my mother doesn’t know.
She has no idea I’m working as a housekeeper.
And she doesn’t know that things are really tight for me.
She wouldn’t let me help her if she knew.
She thinks I’m supporting myself on my illustrations. ”
I startled as he slapped me playfully on the ass. “Why am I not surprised. Just tell me what you want her to know, and I’ll play along. I was hoping I could check out her house and see what needs to be repaired other than her roof.”
“A lot,” I said unhappily.
“We’ll get it all fixed,” he said casually. “Money isn’t a problem, remember?”
“Money has always been a problem for me,” I told him. “And how do I explain you to my mother?”
“How about telling her that I pestered you until you agreed to date me? Tell her we met in Billings. She doesn’t have to know about the rest.”
I snorted. “I met a billionaire in Billings, who fell at my feet and begged me to date him?”
“That works for me,” he said agreeably.
“My mother loves me, but I don’t know if she’ll buy it. You’re Asher Remington. I’m a woman who can barely feed her cat.”
“She’ll believe it,” he said confidently. “I’m not going to find it difficult to play the adoring boyfriend.”
My heart skittered.
Asher wouldn’t be my guy.
Not really.
But the thought of having a relationship with Asher didn’t exactly scare the hell out of me, which surprised me.
“I hope you’re a good actor,” I teased. “Are you really okay with traveling?”
“I had to do it all the time,” he shared. “It wasn’t easy, but I managed because it was my job. I think I’ll be more comfortable with it now than I was back then. I guess the only way I’ll know is to do it. It’s easier when you’re with me.”
“I’ll go,” I offered immediately, eager to help Asher however I could.
“Good,” he said in a satisfied voice. “We’ll spend another day in Austin before we go to the Houston area. Have you been there?”
“Never,” I admitted. “I didn’t travel much, not even around Texas. I barely got out of the Houston area most of the time.”
“Then I’ll show you Austin,” he offered.
“I’d like that,” I said softly, knowing that there were things that Asher really needed to know before he met my mother.
“I think I actually need a real shower right now,” Asher told me. “I think I stink.”
I surprised myself when I giggled for the first time in my life. “I can’t smell you because all I can smell is myself. You go first.”
Asher shifted me off his body, stood up, and scooped me up in his arms.
“Do you really think I’m going to give up the opportunity to touch your gorgeous body?” he asked.
“Can you do a thorough shower in the dark?” I asked with a delighted laugh.
He reached down and switched on the bedside lamp. “You’ll have to trust that I’m not looking,” he said earnestly as he looked into my eyes. “Maybe we can leave the door open just enough to see what we’re doing.”
I sighed as I rested my head on his shoulder.
Yep. Maybe we could do just that.
