LOGINI was ready to clock out at five when I got a call. I reached for my phone with a frown. My frown deepened when I saw it was an unsaved number. I tossed my phone back on the desk and didn't answer. Yawning, I rubbed my fingers over my eyes. I reached for my phone to call Guel, so I would know if he was coming over to pick me up, since he was the one who drove me to work. The phone, which had stopped ringing, started ringing again.Who the hell is even calling?I watched it ring once more. When it stopped, I started to dial Guel's number again, only for the phone to start ringing.Groaning, I took it. It better be something important. If it were a salesman trying to pitch his market to me, I would have his dammed fucking head. “Hello?”“Ash!”I frowned. Why did that voice sound familiar? I tried to place it but couldn't. “Please, who's this?”“Jeremy.”“What?!” I sat up immediately. “Jeremy Pope?”“The one and only.”“Guy!” My lips widened in a smile. “How long has it been? Ten year
I smiled to myself, thinking back to last night. Guel's just too perfect. He faults, and he always made me forget our age gap. How did I get so damned lucky?My cheeks warmed when I remembered how he had fed me in bed this morning. He was so gentle he made me feel treasured. I keep falling in love with him each time he does something that makes my heart skip. “Sir?”I blinked, instantly sitting up when I saw my secretary standing opposite my desk with his tablet. He frowned. Wait, how long has he been here?“I knocked on the door before stepping in, sir,” he said when I raised a brow. “I haven't been here for a long time,” he added when my glare didn't ease at all. “What do you want?” I snapped at him to hide how embarrassed I was at getting caught daydreaming about my lover when I should be focused on my company. I didn't work my ass off to start this up just to let my personal life influence it. I cleared my throat and adjusted my tie. “It's time for the monthly board meeting
Smiling, he carried me down the hallway to our room. I already knew what was about to happen in there, and my stomach twisted with excitement. Guel didn't pause at the threshold when we got to my room. He carried me straight to the bed and laid me down. His hands lingered on my body as he lowered me onto the mattress. He followed me down. His weight settled over me as he braced one forearm beside my head and the other on my hip. And there, pressing against my thigh, was the unmistakable hardness of his cock.“Feel that?” He rolled his hips so I could feel it more. “That's what you do to me, Ash. Every time you look up at me with those eyes.”I swallowed hard. “Guel —”His teeth grazed my pulse point, and I gasped, my back arching into him. I was already half-hard, and my cock strained against my pyjama pants. His hand drifted lower, and he palmed me through the thin cotton. I whimpered into his mouth.“So eager,” he murmured against my lips. “You're always so eager for me, baby.”“C
ASHER I knew Guel had returned home because of how he sounded when he called me, which was why I stayed up to wait for him. Though I was worried about him, I didn't dare call him. I could only pace the floor while waiting for his return. The second I heard the front door opening, I rushed towards it. His face brightened when he saw me. I exhaled in relief. It went well. I knew that without him saying anything. If he'd argued with his mum, he wouldn't look that happy. He raised a brow. “Were you waiting for me, darling?”I smiled. “What do you think?”“I guess I'm correct.” He closed the distance between us and hugged me tight. “God, I missed you, Ash.” He breathed in. I rolled my eyes. “We literally saw each other this morning.”“This morning?” He pulled back with a dramatic gasp. “You know that was hours ago! I really missed the hours I didn't spend with you.” He pouted. "And to make matters worse, the day fucking dragged." Grinning, I pinched his cheeks. “Aren't you a clingy
GUELAll Mother had to do to make me meet her was tell me she'd met Asher. I called him immediately to make sure he was okay before I headed back to the house to meet my mum. She raised a brow when I stepped in and smiled. “Seems you finally remembered your way home.”“Why did you meet him?” I snapped.She didn’t flinch. She just set her tea down like she’d been expecting the tone. "I wanted to. Besides, I had to meet him because he’s important to you, and because you wouldn’t bring him to me,” she answered. “So I did the adult thing and went to him.”I dropped my keys on the counter harder than I meant to. “You ambushed him.”“I invited him for coffee, Miguel. I didn’t ambush anyone.” She crossed her arms. “I wanted to see the man you’ve been hiding from me.”“Hiding?” I barked a laugh. “I wasn't hiding anyone. Besides, have you forgotten how you almost made him break up with me because you were being curious?”Her face fell for half a second. “It wasn't my fault. Besides, I wasn't
I didn't know I'd be meeting Guel's mother this early. I figured it would take some time before I met her again. Like the first time, I was pretty nervous, and for the same reason. I didn't know how she would view my relationship with her son. We met at the same café as last time. Just like the first time, she was already waiting when I arrived. Her face brightened as she gestured for me to come to her the second I stepped in. I took my time walking towards her. Even though we'd met before, my heart was still thumping loudly in my chest, and my palms were gradually getting sweaty. “Have a seat.” She gestured to the chair opposite her. “Thank you.” I sat down, and she gestured to a barista. “We'll have two espressos, please.”I looked at her in shock, and she smiled. “What? Did you think I'd forget what you ordered the last time? I didn't, honey.” She winked, and my cheeks reddened. Fuck. What is it with both mother and son making me blush like a teenager? I'm a freaking 35-year-
