LOGINAsher Vale has been turning heads since the day he learned to walk. A tall black-haired blue eyed stunner. Yet, Asher has never cared about relationships. Until one drunken night when Asher stumbles downstairs and witnesses an intimate moment between his friend’s father, Nico, and another man. Instead of turning away, Asher is completely transfixed. For the very first time in his life, a undeniable wave of desire is awakened within him. Now, he can’t unsee it. Finally, he's found someone he wants and it’s the one man on earth he’s not allowed to have.
View MoreAsher's POVThe university library was one of the few places where I could actually think. I stood in the narrow aisle, running my fingers over a few textbooks.If I wanted to keep my scholarship, my grades had to stay high. It wasn't as though I could simply pay my tuition out of pocket if I lost it. Every semester depended on those marks, which was exactly why I needed my head in a book instead of replaying memories of Nico that were determined to haunt me. A giggle cut through the quiet room. I glanced through the gap between the bookshelves seeing two girls whispering a few rows over, their eyes locked on the main entrance.Curiosity got the better of me. I stepped out of the aisle to see who was causing the scene, and the second I did, my heart dropped straight into my shoes. I instantly wished the floor would open up and swallow me whole.It was Elliott.He was walking with a deliberate stride, his leather jacket damp from the drizzle outside. The red streaks in his hair practi
Asher’s POV“You think he’s gonna ground me?” Luca asked, dumping the final trash bag by the front door. He wiped sweat off his forehead with the back of his arm.I forced a laugh. “Probably worse. He looked ready to ship you off to military school.”Luca groaned. “Fuck. I’m never throwing another party here. Ever.” He paused, glancing at me sideways. “You okay, though? You’ve been quiet.”My stomach twisted. “Yeah. Just a little tired.”He clapped me on the shoulder. “Don’t beat yourself up. It was my dumb idea. You’re a good friend for even showing up.”A good friend. His words felt like a punch to my gut. If he only knew.We finally finished around one-thirty. The house looked spotless again. Luca stretched with a massive yawn, his messy hair sticking up in every direction.“I’m wiped, man. I need some fucking sleep. You staying over?”I nodded, avoiding his eyes. “Yeah. I'm good on the couch.”“Sure, if that's what you want. Night, Ash.” He headed upstairs, and a minute later his
Asher’s POVI stood frozen near the stove, Luca right beside me. My best friend looked like he’d been slapped across the face.His usual cocky grin was gone, replaced by a wide-eyed expression he only got when he knew he’d really fucked up.Nico stood in the middle of the kitchen with a frown of disapproval, his arms crossed over his broad chest. He looked exhausted and pissed off at the same time.“I trusted you,” Nico said, his voice low. “Both of you. You know my rules, Luca. No parties, and no strangers in my house.”Luca shifted beside me, rubbing the back of his neck. “Dad, it was supposed to be a small thing, I swear—”“Small?” Nico cut him off with a scoff. “There are cigarette burns on my hardwood floors. People were dry-humping on the staircase. And you—” His sharp gaze swung to me. “You couldn’t even warn him, Asher? You’ve been in and out of this house since you were a kid. You know how I feel about this shit.”My mouth went dry. I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice.
Nico’s POVI let out a tired sigh, gripping the wheel tighter than necessary.I’ve been stuck working for twelve shitty hours. Some days, all this crap makes me wish I’d just stayed in the military.My head was pounding. All I wanted was a quiet house, a cold beer, and maybe an hour in the basement gym to sweat the day out of my system.My phone buzzed with an unknown number. I almost let it go to voicemail, but in my line of work, letting it ring out wasn’t really an option.“Yeah,” I answered, my voice flat.A low, gravelly voice came through. “Rossi, I’ve got a job for you. It’s high priority, and I need it done quietly. You in?”I exhaled through my nose, keeping my eyes on the dark road ahead.I’ve been in the game for a long time. I did what I had to so I could take care of Luca, but lately it’s been leaving a bad feeling I can’t shake off.“I’ll think about it,” I said. “Send the details. I’ll get back to you by tomorrow.”“Make it fast. The pay’s double if it’s clean.”“Underst
