Caden's Pov

His lips parted and I want to bite the bottom one beneath my teeth and feast on him, swallow him whole, and fuck this morbid tension out of the both of us.

“You love looking at me, don't you?” Asher grinned, as he closed the distance between us.

“Shut up.” I tried to sidestep him but he placed both hands on either side of me, leaning into my face like he wanted to kiss me.

“Can you not do this? I'm not attracted to you.” I hissed.

Lies. I bloody am.

“I want you, Caden.” Asher ran his tongue along my jawline.

“You’re fucking crazy, American.”

I'm suddenly cut off air when his hands closed around my throat.

“Now, listen to me, little prince,” Asher breathed. “My name is Asher.”

“I hate you, you asshole.” I bit out, fighting for air.

“Same goes.” He cupped my nape and crashed his lips to mine before I could react.

A stray light hit my eyes and I jolted from the bench.

It was a fucking dream.

Why the hell was I dreaming of Asher?!

I dragged my good hand through my hair and

    Caden's PovI ran past my height of endurance, shouldering through the crowd and yelling loud curses when I tripped.I ignored grandma's calls and the scrutiny of my employees. Have they never seen a man run before?I dashed to my private elevator and jumped in, then I pulled out my phone and called Javier to ready the Jet.He answered after the first ring. “Sir —”I didn't give him a chance to greet me. Better things needed my attention. “Ready the jet. Now.”“Ready the jet?” He repeated with alarm. “But sir, that's not possible. We just parked the jet. It'll take hours to —” “Fuck! What do we do?!” I yelled.“I will book you a flight on first class or we can use your grandmother's private plane.” He suggested.“Fuck. She wouldn't agree. She's already pissed at me.” I sighed.“We won't know till we try.” He said.The doors parted and I found Frisbee, Joakim and Giovanna standing by the car. “What are you —” my eyes fell on Joakim who popped a candy from his lips and twirled the car

    Asher's PovCaden left.He's gone and I can't bring him back. There was nothing I could say or do to convince him to stay.“You should've gone after him.” Sarah said, reminding me from the umpteenth time.“I know.” I dragged my hand through my short hair.“So what are you going to do now?” She patted my shoulder.“Now…” I sighed. “I don't know.”****I tried calling Gatsby to know where Caden was. When her line wasn't reachable, I decided to check online. On the Legacy Group official page, there was a post about a 40 year anniversary. I stumbled across lots of pictures including those of Regina, the calvary, Regina and Caden. Caden…I traced my fingers over his image and sighed. “I wish I could find you.” I heard incoming footsteps and froze. It was probably Lia. I put her phone back where she was charging it and hid under her bed. “Serves that idiot right.” She giggled as she slammed the door behind her.Then she wandered to her bedside table and took her phone. “That's odd. I

    Caden's PovI've made terrible decisions in my life : drunk driving, eating before riding a ferris wheel, wearing a blue suit to a black-tie event but crossing oceans to find Asher was not in that category. If anything, I was willing to risk my life for him. But as I sit here in the cabin of my jet, I think I'm regretting my decision. The decision I made to leave.Gastby had returned to the mansion with Bella cradled in her arms and sweat making her clothes cling to her body. “We have to go. Now.” she said as soon as she arrived. Her eyes met Asher's and she mumbled a greeting. She did the same to Sarah and Lia who watched us quietly.I said nothing as I crossed the room to meet her.Her eyes narrowed at me. “Where's your bag?” “Got stolen.” I carried Bella from her and cradled the sleeping cat in my arms. She was pregnant? But how?“I'm not gonna ask how it happened but come on, let's go.” Gastby said, leading the way out.“But does he have to leave so soon?” Sarah asked.“Yes. I'

    Asher's PovI was acting like a goddamn coward and I hated it.Caden didn't ask me for diamonds. He didn't even ask for money. All he asked was for me to come home with me and I froze.I completely froze. “Can we talk about this?” He asked when I got into bed beside him.“About what?” I played the ignorant card. It was the coward's way out but I chose it anyway.“About what I said earlier. Are you coming back with me?” He said, leaning on his side to look at me.God knows I didn't know the answers to that. “Caden, look…” I began but he turned away from me.“It's fine. Goodnight.” He said, leaning too close to the edge I feared he'd fall off.“Caden, come here or you'll fall.” I said. Again. Another cowardly move but I cared about him enough not to let him fall.“Caden?”He didn't answer me.I reached out and pulled him closer. Thankfully, he didn't pull away. “I'm sorry. Can we talk about this later?” I mumbled against his shoulder.He still didn't respond. Fuck. It's like talking

    Caden's PovMATURED CONTENT Each kiss sends me into a spiral and I'm melting in his arms.Asher pulls me onto his lap, kissing me like he doesn't want this to end. Like he didn't need this to end.God, I missed him too and I needed him too. I wanted to erase the tension on his shoulder and make him calm.I feel Asher's erection nudged against my ass and I rub myself all over him, my own cock straining and shoving the fabric of my pants. A strangled noise escaped me when he threaded his fingers through my hair and pulled tighter.Just then he pulled away from the kiss and dropped his forehead against mine, breathing harshly against my lips. Then he pressed his face against my neck and inhaled deeply like he wanted to engrave my smell into his memory. He was like a junkie and I'd never loved him more.“I missed you, Caden.” He said in a low, gruff voice I loved to hear. I can feel the tension bunching underneath my palms on his shoulders. He's still tense. We have to fix that.I cup

    Caden's PovAfter Asher ate his breakfast and me, we decided to go sightseeing. Believe me when I say that I was scared out of my wits when I mentioned that. I still hadn't gotten over the fact that I was robbed and nearly killed yesterday but spending a day with Asher was like taking a vacation. I desperately needed it.“So where do you want to go?” Asher asked me as he packed up a few sandwiches in the picnic basket. “A few restaurants and maybe.. the beach.” I smiled when Lia looked up from her phone.She opened her mouth to speak but Sarah beat her to it.“That’s wonderful,” she smiled. “Asher, you should definitely take him to see the glowing cave.”Curiosity got the better of me. “Glowing cave?”“Yeah. It's this cave near the beach that's filled with bioluminescent algae. They glow at night. Very beautiful.” Lia explained in the driest tone I'd ever heard.“That sounds lovely. I'd love to go there.” I said to her dismay.“Are you sure? I heard most people get robbed in there.”
