Chapter 22
Twenty-Two
Violet
Asher leaned back on his heels as I glanced at the door, knowing that Enzo had left.
I had seen him when he first started walking by, then locked eyes with him for a brief moment before everything happened.
I made it clear that I wanted him to watch what his friend could do to me.
What I was willing to let Asher do to me.
“Are you okay?” Asher asked softly, that sweet, dimpled grin I loved so much making an appearance.
“Yeah,” I said with a heavy breath. “You made me say a bad word, but it was worth it.”
I laughed to let him know I was kidding.
While I didn’t cuss much, it wasn’t like I hadn’t thought those words in my head more often than not these days.
I blamed the guys for constantly swearing around me and being a bad influence.
But it wasn’t like I was a kid or had anyone to scold me.
I was a grown woman and could say whatever I wanted, even if it still made me a little bit nervous.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. We do aim to please around here.” He winked playfully, and it made me forget that I was still naked in the tub while he sat there, trying to keep his eyes on my face instead of my body. The bubbles had already dissolved, which meant he could see everything.
But he also just used his fingers to get me off and sucked my nipples, so it felt like a fair trade.
Plus, I had already seen him naked, so now we were even.
Okay, not technically even because he’d taken the time to make me come, but I was more than willing to rectify that situation as soon as he’d let me.
“I, um... I think Enzo might have seen what happened,” Asher said, a rare blush covering his cheeks as he looked at me. “Sorry, I was so caught up in making sure you were okay when I barged in here that I forgot to close the door.”
“It’s okay. I saw him and wanted him to watch,” I admitted, attempting to hold my head higher as I took a step into new territory.
Asher’s eyebrows lifted as he processed the information.
“Do you like being watched?” he asked playfully as that dimpled grin appeared again.
I shrugged and felt the heat flood through me as I struggled not to feel embarrassed.
“I don’t know. I guess that feels like a heavy question, but I liked having him watch just now. I don’t know if I’ll be brave enough to do something like that again. But it was fun while it happened.”
“I thought I felt you suddenly get wetter,” he teased with another wink. “But fuck, Vi. You shouldn’t have told me that.”
“Why not?”
He pushed himself to his feet and looked down at me, making zero effort to hide the fact that he was checking me out in the tub. I fought the instinct to try to cover myself as I noticed the hard bulge still lingering beneath his shorts. Was he going to go to his room and masturbate because of me?
“Because that’s going to become my new obsession. Watching you come undone knowing that one of us is watching you. Whether it's you getting yourself off or one of us taking care of you, it will be impossible not to think about how fucking wet you are from it.”
I opened my mouth but quickly closed it and rubbed my lips together, making sure I didn’t say anything stupid. My body was too relaxed to get out of the tub, but the water was getting cold, and I was turning into a raisin, so I had no choice but to get out.
“Would you mind handing me my towel?” I asked as I stood up, letting the water drip off my body as he grabbed it and held it out to me. “Thank you.”
I kept my eyes locked on his as I wrapped it around my body and accepted his hand as I climbed out.
Feeling Asher touch me had been incredible, but the look he was giving me nearly made my knees wobble and sent an ache straight to my core.
While I had crossed one huge bridge tonight by letting him touch me, I wasn’t sure that I was ready for more than what had already happened.
As if reading my mind, Asher gave me a soft smile and stepped out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
