Nico's POV

I watch the flush crawl up Asher’s neck like wildfire, painting that pretty skin crimson, and fuck if it doesn’t make my cock throb harder against the thin fabric of my gym shorts.

He’s trying so damn hard to play it cool—his eyes darting between my face and my chest like he can’t decide which part of me he wants to devour first.

I step closer.

Close enough that the heat rolling off his body mingles with mine. Close enough that I can smell the faint trace of cheap body wash and nervous sweat clinging to him.

“You’re a terrible liar, pretty boy.”

His breath hitches.

I don't know where the pet name suddenly comes from but his gorgeous eyes flick up to mine, and I see him surrender to the thick sexual tension humming between us.

I reach out slowly, giving him time to bolt if he wants to.

He doesn’t.

My palm cups the side of his throat, thumb brushing the frantic pulse hammering under his jaw.

His skin is fever-hot. I feel the tremor that runs through him when I press just a l

  • Craving My Best Friend's Father   CHAPTER 10

    Asher's POV I stared at the massive poster plastered on the bulletin board outside the student center, my eyes scanning the grid of class schedules.Fall semester was creeping up faster than I expected, and I needed to make sure my psych elective didn't clash with that godforsaken 8 a.m. calc class. Out of nowhere, a freight train slammed into my back. Okay, not a literal train, but it might as well have been.Arms wrapped around my waist in a bone-crushing hug-tackle, and I went down like a sack of potatoes, my face smooshing against the poster. The air whooshed out of my lungs, and I wheezed, trying to twist free."If it isn't the gorgeous Asher fucking Vale!" Jax's voice boomed right in my ear, laced with that signature cackle of his. The guy was built like a brick wall—because he basically was one—and he had this habit of turning affection into assault. I swear, half the time I wondered if he was trying to hug me or audition for WWE."Get the fuck off me, you lunatic!" I chok

    Asher's POV Our foreheads are pressed together, slick with sweat.Nico's breath fans over my lips in ragged puffs, mixing with mine, and for a second—just a second—I let myself believe this means something.That the way he's looking at me isn't just the high of coming undone. My heart's hammering in my chest, not just from the orgasm that's still buzzing through my veins, but from this stupid, fluttering hope that's unfurling inside me. God, Asher, you are such an idiot.I swallow hard, trying to steady myself, my hands still clutching at his shoulders because if I let go, I might just fall apart.His cum is on my stomach, marking me like a brand, and fuck, part of me loves it. Loves feeling claimed, even if it's just for this moment.I tilt my head a fraction, brushing my nose against his, chasing that closeness. "Nico," I whisper, my voice hoarse, barely holding together. "That was... intense." Understatement of the century. He chuckles lowly, and pulls back just enough to meet

    Asher's POV The engine of my car hums as I weave through the city streets, but I'm barely even paying attention to the road. My mind's like a goddamn whirlwind, spinning around one person and refusing to quit. Nico. It's been what, a week since he left for work in Chicago? For some reason, it feels like a lifetime since I last saw him.I keep replaying that night between us in my head, the way his hands felt on my skin, the dirty words he spewed out just for me lived rent-free in my thoughts.I mean, shit, I've been obsessing over it non-stop. Every time I close my eyes, all I see his face, his smirk, his dark eyes. I'm sure he doesn't think about me like this. I'm probably just some dumb kid to him.Fuck, I need to get a grip. The streetlights start flickering as I turn onto Elmwood Avenue, my... home I guess. This neighborhood—it's like stepping into a completely different world.The place is full of graffiti-covered walls, trash blowing in the wind, and that ever-present smel

    Asher's POV Um... actually, Sarah—I was just about to shut this whole thing down, find some polite way to extract myself from Sarah's grip without causing a scene, when Luca and Mia suddenly stood up across the table."Hey, guys," Luca said. "Mia and I were thinking of catching that new rom-com down at the theater. Starts in like twenty minutes. You two seem to be hitting it off, but... you wanna come with?"Luca's eyes turned to me, practically begging me to say no.I could hear his internal monologue praying I wouldn't cockblock him now that he'd finally gotten Mia alone. Mia was beaming up at him, oblivious, but Luca's foot was tapping under the table like he was ready to bolt.I rolled my eyes, making sure he saw it, but kept my voice light. "Nah, man. You two go ahead. We'll just... hang here or whatever. Have fun."Luca's face lit up like I'd just handed him a winning lottery ticket. "You sure? Cool, cool. Alright, catch you later, Ash." He clapped me on the shoulder as he pa

    Asher's POV “Asher! Asher! ASHER!”I snapped my head toward the voice. Luca was staring at me like I’d just grown a second head, one of his eyebrows cocked so high it was basically in his hairline.“What the heck, man? Didn’t you hear me calling you? I said your name like five times.”“Uh… yeah, sorry,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck. “I was just… thinking about something.”Luca gave me a look that said he didn't buy it but I expected him to just let it slide. He turned back to the girls at our booth. His date, Mia, was smiling at him like he hung the moon, and her friend—uh… Sarah, I think, was scrolling on her phone, with her legs crossed, looking bored as hell.I don't know why Mia even had to bring her along. She gives off the worse bitchy vibes.“Hey, give me one sec,” Luca said to them with his usual charm. “I gotta steal Ash for a minute.”Mia giggled. “Okay, but don't be gone too long.”Luca grabbed my arm and basically dragged me toward the back of the restaurant.
