BE ROUGH WITH ME

last update publish date: 2026-03-19 16:54:43

Asher walks out of the door, the door silently shutting behind him.

I want to take it back, swallow my words and pretend they were never out there.

How could he walk away so easily?

What if he believes me? What if he never comes back?

My fingers drag through my hair, there’s a tightness in my chest. No matter how much I inhale, it isn’t working, I breathe through my mouth instead.

On the bed, the clip is still playing.

Why did he kiss me like that if he was only going to walk away?

  • According to his secretary    LET US PLAY

    “I want sausage for breakfast.” I announce. Asher, who had gone to sleep in the guest room last night after my question– looking so distracting-ly good by the way, this would be the first time in five months I’ve ever seen him look ‘just rolled out of bed’ and by god, he makes it so fucking sexy.None of my thoughts about his hair are clean, none. He hands me a bottle of water.“You don’t eat breakfast before you see your father.”I wrinkle my nose as I accept the water. He’s right. I think it should be everyone’s constitutional rights to either throw tomatoes at him as he walks pass, and to not eat before seeing him. He’ll make you want to barf.You’ll see. “Not that sausage.” I say, dropping my eyes slowly from his hands to to his chest, and down his waist, a mischievous smile spreading across my lips as I do. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” he mutters, turning around swiftly and heading for the bathroom. “Asher…” I whine, twisting open the cap.He throws a narrowed eyed look o

  • According to his secretary    NOTHING

    Asher drops my hand, extricating himself from me.I whine from the lose of his body warmth. He couldn’t just do that and leave! Nobody does that.But he does.And just like that, the tension snaps, left hanging with nowhere to go. “It might be scary,” I start softly, “I know mine was. But yours even more so, since you’ve always been straight.” I say with a wistful sigh.Maybe that’s it. Maybe he’s holding back because he doesn’t understand how this works. I’m nothing like what he’s used to. And because I need him to understand that I’m right here for him– believe me, if I didn’t have a support system in form of the gang when I came out, things would have gone a whole other way– I start talking. “I think I realized when I started watching the weather channel obsessively because the weather man was the hottest thing my middle school eyes had ever seen.” A small laugh slips out,“Matt. That was his name, I think. I could recite the weather forecast word for word at the time.” I glan

  • According to his secretary    TAKE ME TO BED

    Never in my wildest imagination did I think Asher would take me to my bed. Okay, that’s an obvious lie, I’ve had imagined it loads of times, wilder than just taking me by the hand, up the stairs. I pinch myself to make sure this isn’t some Carson directed movie, playing in my head, where I’m both the actor and audience.It’s not.Now that Asher is the director, I wonder what would happen next, would my straight-randomly likes to kiss my boss- secretary lay on the same bed with me–? My thoughts come to a scrambling halt when Asher does in fact, get into bed with me.I can’t believe this.This can’t possibly be happening.He’s straight. Yes, we’ve kissed three times, but getting into bed with me? Maybe this is Carson directed.Pinching my eyes together for a few seconds, and when I open them, my secretary would be on the other side of the room. Gah!His body heat rolling off him, his smell messing with my head, all of it– is still here! No part of his body is touching mine, but he

  • According to his secretary    ANOTHER REJECTION

    My phone dings in succession. I keep my eyes on Asher, throat tight. I’m afraid if I say anything I’d just end up screaming.“Not you.”What the hell does that mean?He takes advantage of the few seconds I’m left stunned, gently pushing me back and sliding out of the sofa. He’s avoiding me again. Not a fucking chance.I push myself up, rushing up from behind him.Where are alone here all night, he has nowhere to run. This is my one chance. “What does that mean? ‘not you’, what the fuck is that?”“Carson–”“You kissed me, twice. Twice!” My voice raises, and so does my anger. The nerve of this guy. I’ve waited for months, and he just gets to do whatever?!Not if I can help it. Stepping in front of him, Asher takes a step back.“And when I ask for an explanation, it’s ‘not you’? Why? Because I’m your boss’s son?” Then I bark a laugh, something feels tight and hot in my chest, I realize it’s frustration. This is the most frustrating situation I’ve found myself in years. “That sure as

  • According to his secretary    NOT WITH YOU

    Asher clears his throat noisily, heading back to the makeshift office we’ve been using for the past few days.Is he shy right now?Following behind him with a grin and sneaking underneath his arm, coming up in front of him. “Were you shy just now? Did I make you shy? Did I see right? Warden Hall shy?”“I’m not.” he grumbles, side stepping me, like he could get rid of me that easily.Stepping in front of him and blinking up at him,“Is that an actual blush?”“I don’t blush.”“I don’t blush.” I echo with a fake deep voice that’s nowhere the masterpiece that is his. He gives me a look at that and I roll my eyes.Blushing might have been a stretch, but he definitely was shy.“I was able to find out a few things from the party, Cyril is not as easy to meet as Harry, but there’s a possibility he’s not our guy.” he says, already swinging back to work mode, I don’t stifle my groan of displeasure.“I had my doubts.” I agree, what I don’t offer is that, while Cyril might not be the guy we’re l

  • According to his secretary    ROAD TO ASHER

    “I had Tim slip something in her pockets.” Robin says by means of explanation, chuckling at his own brilliance. A small hum of approval slips through my lips, his red stress ball bouncing off the wall with a thud and straight into my open waiting hand. Sending it back into the wall, eyes staring unblinkingly at the path the ball takes, it jumps back to my open hand, and I send it right back. Robin sighs, his seat rolling to me, catching the ball effortlessly, his eyes meet mine. I try to look past them, searching for my ball, he doesn’t let me have it so easily. “Alright, Eva said to offer you chocolate milk when you get like this, she never said what to do if it doesn’t work.” His eyes fall on the empty juice boxes, mine trail after him, blinking at the number, no idea when I burned through all of that. “What’s going on?”With a groan, my head falls forward, and I blink at my feet.The only thing I can see is Asher’s expression printed into my eyelids. I can’t shake it off, no m
