Chapter Thirty Nine
Kimberly dropped the second boot to the floor and wished the man sitting there in the dark beside her could be a bit open minded and that they could get along for once after this. She realized that as annoying as he could be, he was a good man. But she couldn't kid herself for too long. She wondered if he was really being this way because he cared, or because he was doing his job.
Whichever one is was, she was grateful to him. Grateful that he was with her.
“Come here,” Asher said. “You’re shivering again.”
With a sigh, Kimberly turned and positioned herself between his hard thighs. They arranged the blankets into a nest to shelter them. She wrapped one of them around her feet and legs as he’d instructed.
The others he drew around him and thus around them both, with the thermal tarp on top as he settled back against the door.
The tarp was big eno

“A part of me is really enjoying this.” She said. "Being here with you... I wish we could get along more"He wasn’t surprised. He was feeling the same way and thinking the same thing. It was this damn cold, and the fact that were smashed up against each other. Stuff like this messed with your brain.But God in heaven, she felt good in his arms. And she smelled so good, like vanilla and jasmine flowers and something else, something that was only her.“Rest.” he said. Determined to have some control over himself. This was his job and it was wrong if he touched her. It could ruin everything. It was one of rules he set for himself. Never get attached to a client. But with Kimberly, it seemed like all he wanted to do.He wanted to throw those damn rules out the window and smash his lips against hers.“You keep saying that.&rd

She stroked the stubble rough side of his face and whispered softly, in a voice of purest temptation, “Why not go ahead with it? Why not do what neither of us can stop wanting to do, just one time?” she said softly.He knew exactly how he should respond to those dangerous questions. He needed to take her by the shoulders and put her gently but firmly away from him. But instead, he muttered in a rough, choked growl, “It would be...wrong. We are not supposed to”She used the backs of her fingers to stroke the close clipped hair at his temples. “I don’t care, Asher." she said. "I really don’t care if it’s wrong. I only want one good thing to remember about tonight, one sweet, naughty secret to make it...not quite so awful. I thoroughly understand that it’s never going to be, between you and me. That we are different and maybe not even compatible”He tried to speak.She put her soft hand between them and covered h

She heard the challenge in his voice, and her gaze zeroed in on the utterly decadent sight she presented as he cupped her in his palms, kneaded her skin with deep, erotic strokes that made her insides melt She leaned into his touch without thinking, helpless to do anything but respond.She couldn't have imagined feeling this way if she'd tried. She hadn't expected him to move so fast, hadn't in her heart of hearts believed this whole idea would work out But he was here. Touching her.He regarded her beneath heavy-lidded eyes, a look that drugged her with the promise of his next touch, a look that made it hard to draw a decent breath."You like how this feels." he asked. It wasn't a question, more a statement of fact that she couldn't deny. She nodded helplessly."What about this?" he asked again.He caught her nipples in a firm pinch and fire shot through her li

Kimberly hated the silence between them.It was back, with a vengeance, as soon as they saw that the condom had broken.Not much later, as she was struggling with her ruined tights, buttoning up her jacket and trying to smooth her tangled hair in such a hurry.Asher leaned over the front seat and opened the glove compartment. He found a pen and a scrap of paper, on which he quickly scrawled a series of numbers.“Here.” His breath fogged on the frozen air.She took it. “What’s this?” she asked staring at the paper.“My phone number.” he said simply.For a moment, she actually thought that she’d read the silence all wrong. But then she understood. But before that she had to ask. "And why are you giving that to me?" she asked."Just in case you are.... Ermmm... You know" he said, unable to meet her gaze.She didn't underst

Because she had a thing for him. There was just something about him that called to her, something that made her wish there was hope for the two of them somehow. Hope for what? She wasn't quite sure. And deep in her heart, she feared she would never get over him... Even after she was safe and he left.And yet, she had honestly meant what she said to him, that she knew that nothing could ever happen between them.Nothing was ever going to come out of their time together. She accepted that. She had no expectations concerning him. So she was going to go home and cry out her eyes. She wasn't going to throw away her pride and dignity and do something crazy like beg him to stay or get into a relationship with her.So, yes. It had been rather a bad idea to have sex with him. A bad idea that had turned out absolutely perfect. Something beautiful and real and honest in the middle of a terrible mess. She probably should regre

“I want to apologize for the way I have been.... For being frosty,” she greeted him. “I just, well, I was very sensitive and tired that night and I kinda snapped. And it was my fault that we... Ermmm... You know. I just want you to know that I am sorry. My father tells me that sometimes I tend to get a little too into the zone and too emotional and I can lose sight of my manners.”Asher hadn’t expected an apology. He just stared at her, so she continued. “So, why don’t you come with me to the Chinese restaurant a few blocks down and we can get.... I don't know... reacquainted? You know, like the normal way”“I appreciate the offer, but you know as part of my job I’d go anyway,” he pointed out finally.Kimberly gave him a wry smile.“I’m inviting you to eat with me,” she corrected. “Not sit creepily behind me like a weird stalker.”Asher stepped back to retrieve his wallet and walked out

Kimberly looked away. "No I haven't" she said. "I wanted to wait two weeks before I took it so I could be sure about the result. But you don't have to worry" she added immediately. "I feel fine"Asher nodded. "okay" he said. "I'm here if you need me""You don't have to leave. No matter what the result is" Kimberly said.Asher nodded. But he didn't tell her that if she was carrying his child, there was no way in hell that he was going to leave.--------------------------They ate their food quickly and, soon after finishing, they were singing its praises.“I keep telling Greg that the the food here is fantastic,” Kimberly said. “This fast food queen will be coming back here with him... Just to prove my point”“Greg?” Asher asked.“Oh, sorry. Greg is a work associate. If you insist on following me around then you’ll get the chance to

Even if it was by a woman he was starting to guess might never be happy with his job performance. A woman he had no chance to be with.“You’re absolutely right,” he said with enthusiasm. “I really need to step up my game.”Kimberly started to loosen her grip, probably feeling her sarcasm backfiring, but Asher held it firm. Instead of trailing behind her, he took two long strides ahead.Now he was leading her.Looking both ways, Asher tugged her across the street to the left, in between a lag in traffic. Had they both not run, they might not have made it. Despite Kimberly's gasp of concern, Asher continued parallel to the block they’d just left before coming to the intersection.He blew through it within another pocket of pedestrians until they were at the opening of a preppy clothing store. He didn’t waste any time and ducked through its double doors, passing through an invisible cloud of loud cologne an
