43. Asher
Asher
The suit feels too tight, this room is too hot.
I feel like all the eyes in here are on me, wondering who I am, why I’m here.
But Rae’s hand on my leg keeps me grounded.
I was expecting a full-on interrogation from Rae’s parents as soon as they approached.
Even though they’ve always seemed like nice people, I anticipated them to accuse me of being wrong for their daughter.
To try and convince me to leave her alone, let her live her life with Grayson.
He stepped in and offered a distraction. I won’t thank him, but maybe he’s not so bad.
The rest of the time we’re here I try to stay focused on when this will be over. It isn’t until I hear Rae’s name when she’s announced as a nominee that I pay attention. She’s buzzing with nervous energy as the anticipation builds before the announcers say who won.
“And the winner is…”
The room is quiet, everyone waiting as they open the envelope, smiling then announcing into the microphone. “Rae Sparks.”
I look over at my girl, her jaw dropped, and I want to pull her in and kiss the shit out of her, but I can’t. Not here.
She stands up, walking to the stage. I watch her shift from the woman I see when she’s home, nervous and second guessing of herself, to the woman that gets on stage. Confident and who knows how amazing she is.
“Thank you so much. I don’t even know what all to say.
Thank you to my parents who are here with me tonight and who you may or may not be familiar with.
” The room chuckles because of course everyone knows who her parents are.
“Thank you to my entire family for being there for me and supporting me through everything. Thank you to Noah Fuller for embracing my new sound which we’re excited to share with everyone.
” This time the room fills with chatter, and I don’t know if she was supposed to share that, but then time freezes when she says, “Thank you, Grayson and Asher, for showing me that I’m capable of more than I even knew. ”
I can feel her parent’s eyes on me. I can feel the questions swirling around the room, but her speech is ending, and all I want is to take her out of here and have her alone. Just her, Grayson, and me.
She ends her speech, music plays. She didn’t outright admit she’s with both of us, but I know what she said. Her parents seem to as well because they still haven’t looked away.
Rae joins us again with a beaming smile. Her eyes find mine. “Don’t be mad.”
“Why would I be mad?” I question because I’m not. The only thing I’m feeling right now is concern for what people are going to say about her. The last time there were articles about her she had an identity crisis about who she is. This could end up being worse.
But her smile doesn’t even falter and she seems oddly…calm.
“Great speech, Sunshine,” Grayson compliments, pulling her into him and kissing the side of her forehead easily. I wish it was that easy for me to do that in a place like this.
“Thanks,” she beams at him, and then to her parents who are still staring.
“You don’t have to explain anything to us,” her mom starts, smiling at her, then Grayson and finally me. “As long as you’re happy.”
I can’t help but look at her dad, who seems significantly more tense than his wife. I lean over to Spencer. “He’s not going to kill me, is he?”
She laughs. “Not likely.”
“That’s not a no,” I grumble.
Rae’s hand is back on my thigh again, squeezing it and drawing my attention back to her, and I intertwine our fingers, keeping them on my thigh. “He’s not going to kill you.”
I lean over, whispering in her ear, “He would if he knew what I’m going to do to you later.”
Rae muffles her surprised noise with a cough. “That’s probably true.”
I try to keep with the lighthearted energy, but this theater is so large.
There’s so many people and cameras everywhere.
I feel like every single eye is on us, and try my best to remain calm.
I’m no stranger to crowds or being watched.
When I would fight, the rooms were loud, every eye in there on me.
But this is different. I’m in an unfamiliar place, with people who may not like me very much, aside from the woman next to me.
This is not my scene. These aren’t my people, and this isn’t what I’m used to.
But when Rae looks at me again, blue eyes on mine with so much unsaid, I try and relax. Though, all I can think about is when we get to leave.
We can’t get out of here fast enough once the award show is over. I’m glad that Rae’s parents seem oddly okay with what they’ve learned. So okay with it I would assume they didn’t read between the lines, but the looks they were giving me I know that’s not true. And I know they aren’t the only ones.
But we aren’t paying attention to any of that. People can have opinions based on what she said, or of any of the pictures of us all together. We don’t have to pay attention to any of it, and if Rae doesn’t care, then neither do I. Whatever she wants, I’ll give to her.
As soon as we’re in the SUV that’s going to take us back to the hotel, Rae is on my lap, straddling me as she kisses me roughly. I grab her hips instantly, holding her against me as I deepen our kiss, forcing my tongue between her lips to taste more of her.
“Seems like someone couldn’t wait until we got back to the hotel.” Grayson chuckles.
Rae rips her mouth away from mine, but stays on my lap, yanking Grayson’s mouth down to hers.
I watch as they make out while she stays on my lap.
Her hips rock against mine and I guide her movement.
She moans into Grayson’s mouth and my already hard dick throbs, wanting to sink inside her.
I thrust up instinctually, causing her to moan even louder.
I’m vaguely aware that we aren’t alone and there’s a driver, but I don’t care. Not when she’s grinding her little cunt against me while kissing Grayson like this.
“Are you wet for us already?” I groan into her ear. “If I reach under your dress, will you soak my hand already just thinking about both of us doing whatever we want to your sweet little body tonight?”
She moans, and Grayson grabs the back of her head, gripping her hair tightly. “Our fucking girl.”
“Our good fucking girl,” I groan in agreement as she moves her mouth from his to mine.
I slide my hand under her dress, up the slit on her bare thigh then even higher, feeling only skin.
My hand moves around to her bare ass, and even lower to her soaked pussy.
“Fuck baby, you’ve been naked under here this whole time. ”
She hums in agreement, nodding her head before sinking her teeth into my bottom lip.
“Damn, Sunshine, you wanting to drive us crazy?” Grayson groans, burying his head into her neck and with the way she yelps and grinds herself harder against me I think he bit her in that spot that she loves.
“What if I shoved my hand under here when we were in that room full of people? Would you have let me touch this needy cunt where anyone could have seen?” I move my hand lower to tease her entrance.
“You could have,” she breathes, lifting up just enough for me to slide my hand between us and feel how soft, warm, and wet she is.
“You’d let Asher touch you like that in front of everyone?” Grayson asks. “I’d have snuck under that table to bury my face between your thighs, needing to taste you.”
“Oh my God,” she moans as I slip my finger into her and she starts to ride it. “Please tell me we’re almost to the hotel.”
“Think I can make you come before we get there?” I wonder.
“I think you can,” Grayson encourages. “Such a good girl for us, you’re going to come all over Asher’s hand in this car, then in the hotel you’re going to soak my face.”
“Fuck yes,” Rae moans.
“Then, you’re going to take both of our cocks in your desperate cunt and be used like the toy you love to be for us.” I nip her ear lobe and she moans, bucking her hips against me as I slip another finger into her.
Rae moves desperately on me as Grayson pulls her mouth to his once again, kissing her while she rides my hand.
I try to look out the window and see how much longer we have, but I’m unfamiliar with Los Angeles.
And with the way she’s squeezing my fingers as they fuck into her, I can’t pay attention to anything else.
The rest of the night doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that we have someone else driving this car. Or that I don’t fit into her world.
We’re all riding a high, and it’s one I don’t want to come down from.
“Let go for me, baby, come for us,” I encourage into her neck, and feel her tighten around me as she does, losing herself in her pleasure while Grayson muffles her moans with his mouth.
I want to hear her, but I also don’t want her driver to.
I selfishly want her pleasure for myself. And Grayson. I guess.
The car stops, and I can’t wait to get out of here. As much as I enjoy having Rae on my lap, I need more space, and also to not have an unwanted fourth party in the car with us. I’m sure he knows what we were doing, but he remains professional, even as he tells us to have a good night.
I scoop Rae out of the car with me as I step out, keeping one arm wrapped around her as we walk toward the hotel.
Grayson sticks close to us. I look around, waiting for flashes of cameras, but don’t see any even as we walk through the hotel doors.
Rae is giggling, and I love how carefree she is.
She’s not worrying about being seen, or what people could be saying.
She’s just here with us, and it’s amazing to see.
I told her to find herself, and she’s done just that, but I don’t think she realizes how much she’s helped me do the same.
We take the elevator up to the penthouse, and I’m too focused on the fact that Rae is bare under her dress, already slick from her orgasm as she hangs on both Grayson and me to think about how out of place I am here. It seems ridiculous for me to be in such an expensive room.
But it also is ridiculous for me to be with the perfect woman, and yet it makes perfect sense.
As soon as the hotel room door closes behind us, Grayson snatches Rae up in his arms and she wraps her legs around his waist, while he carries her deeper into the room. I shed the jacket I’ve been dying to take off, unbutton my shirt to get rid of it and feel like I can fucking breathe again.
We don’t even bother turning a light on; the lights from the city shining in through the large windows illuminate the room and I lean against the doorframe of the bedroom watching Rae and Grayson as he lowers her onto the bed, then kneels in front of her.
“You going to taste her, Wheeler? See if she’s ready for us?”
“I am,” Rae moans, leaning back.
Grayson slides his hands down her legs, to her shoes and unbuckles the straps around her ankles, sliding them off one at a time as she watches him.
“Tell him what a good boy he is for you, baby,” I taunt as he drops the second shoe onto the floor.
Rae smirks at me, then lifts up one of her legs and places her foot on Grayson’s shoulder, opening herself to him.
“Are you a good boy for me?” she teases him.
“I’ll be whatever you need me to be.”
“I know you will. But you can prove it by licking my pussy.”
I nod in approval, even though she’s not watching me because Grayson does what she tells him to without a second of hesitation.
Damn am I proud of her. In every single way.
Proud of her for finding her voice, who she is and her confidence.
Most of all I’m proud of her for realizing that she has both of us wrapped around her finger.
She moans, bucking up toward his mouth, and when her eyes open and focus on me, I know I want to take control. Especially when her mouth drops open on another loud moan, her eyes glazing over.
I push off the wall, prowling forward. “My turn.”
