Asher's Pov

The cold air bit into my skin as I stood on the balcony in nothing but pajama bottoms. But it’s not cold enough, not uncomfortable enough. Nothing is enough to make me loathe what I did a few hours ago.

I crush the cigarette I was smoking in the ashtray and, like a hopeless addict, step back into the room. The night air clung to my skin as I closed the door behind me.

The reason for my sleeplessness and pending life crisis was sprawled across the bed.

BE was on his stomach, hugging a pillow, the duvet slipped down to reveal the smooth curve of his back and the purple hickeys I left all over his skin.

My marks.

My touch.

Mine.

His blond hair spilled across the pillow, messy and disheveled from how I yanked and pulled at those golden strands while I owned him and made him all mine.

The thought that I was the one who fucked him and touched him like that, sent a rush of blinding possessiveness through me.

I sat on the edge of the bed, unable to stop watching him.

    Caden's PovI gulped the ball in my drying throat.Why the heck does Asher have the ability to ground me? For a second, I almost spilled everything Gus told me.I dragged my hand through my hair as Bella purred on my lap, Gus’s words replaying in my head. “It hasn't been 5 years and the company's already crumbling.” He'd chuckle.“No, it's not,” I fisted my hands at my sides. “And what the fuck are you doing here?”“Is it now a crime to visit my cousin and his husband?” He laughed. “I can't believe grandpa wrote that stuff in his will. It's hilarious.” “Fuck off!”“No, I won't,” he strode towards me and grabbed my jaw. “You're nothing but a little shit who was given a company too big to handle.”“Booker Legacy Group will thrive under me!” I gritted my teeth.“Revive it first. I heard Eagle's Eye is losing ground and no one is purchasing the gadget.” He mused.“I'll find a way around it. I always do.”“Doubtful.”“Is that what you think?” “Why the heck not?” Gus shrugged. “A murdere

    Asher's PovCaden's gaze remained on the stranger who'd just walked in. The man looks a bit younger than me, if not older. He had this classical, golden boy handsomeness that made me want to puke, all slick ginger hair and tanned skin, the exact opposite of Caden. “Who the hell is that?” I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.“That’s Gus.” Caden replied, his voice trembling. I turned to meet his gaze and the expression on his face wasn't of admiration or excitement. If anything, it was dreadful.My fists tightened on their own. Just what the hell did this bastard do to my Caden?!“Is that how you welcome your cousin, Caden?” Gus clicks his tongue in annoyance.Wait. That's his cousin? Suddenly, my own words echoed back in my head and I uncurled my fists.“We have to create an enemy who'd take the fall for my crime. Someone everyone knows clearly hates Caden.”“Caden's cousin. I hear he's back in the country.”Caden walked briskly to where Gus stood and wrapped his arms aroun

    Caden's PovEven till the next morning, Asher will never let Belladonna touch him. Yeah, I named the little cat, Belladonna — dark and ethereally beautiful but deadly as fuck.The moment Giovanna brought her into the living room, she jumped from her arms and scurried towards the sofa.Asher, who'd been sitting on the couch nearby, jumped from his set. “I thought I told you to get this thing away from me.” I threw my head back and laughed. “It's a cat not the devil.” “Same thing!” He grumbled, peeking from behind the couch he'd taken shelter from.I never knew Asher had this adorable side to him. It's freaking cute.Belladonna or Bella for short, darts towards him and he jumps behind me.“Yo, who's protecting whom here?” Frisbee who'd just walked in laughed.“I guess I'm Asher's bodyguard now.” I laughed.I heard him snort behind me before letting go. Suddenly, he'd taken his warmth with him.“It’s hilarious. Who knew the great Asher Donovan would be terrified of a tiny cat?” Frisbee

    Caden's PovThe drive home was like a fucking nightmare before it even began — it rained. Hard.Giovanna didn't have an umbrella so I lent her mine. I couldn't let my favourite bodyguard get soaked to the bone. There, I said it. She's my favourite.“But what about you, sir?” She asked with a hint of worry in her voice.I wrapped my arms around me and smiled, shivering as the rain beat the shit out of me. “I’ll be fine.”The door slammed behind me as an angry Asher stormed towards me with an umbrella. “Are you mad? Why the hell are you standing under the rain?!” He barked.“Do you see me with an umbrella?” I answered in a duh tone. When I noticed he looked at Giovanna, I glared back. “Don't you dare take it from her!”“Jesus Christ!” He hissed then grabbed my wrist. “Come here!”“Where are you taking me?!” I yelled as he practically dragged me back to the house.“For change of fucking clothes!” he hissed back.“Caden, why are you—” Grandma's voice trailed off when she saw Asher drag m

    Asher's PovI had to beat traffic if I was going to make it back to the Lake house. My absence would leave more suspicion and my lateness would be worse.But not today. I made a shortcut through a familiar path and cut through another road. I grip the steering wheel so hard I fear I'd break it. However, my grip loosened when I caught a glimpse of BE’s Uber. He's taking the same path too?I made an attempt to follow him. I needed to see him again.I revved the engine and sped behind the Uber, maintaining a slow stance so it wouldn't be obvious I was tailing him.The car slowed at some point and I slowed too. Just then, I felt a buzz in my pocket. What now!I hissed and put on my airpod. I looked ahead and fuck, the car was leaving.Fuck. I'm gonna lose him.“What!” I hissed the moment it connected with my phone.“Can you please make a detour to the supermarket and get some tomato paste? We're out.” It was Melvin, one of the chefs I'd met at the mansion.Why the hell would I make a

    Asher's PovThe sound of a crash pulled me from my slumber and I jolted on the bed.“Who's there?!” I demanded, reaching for the bedside table. When my hand found nothing, I hissed. I don't have a gun in the house.Fuck!I trail my eyes forward when I catch the glimpse of a familiar mask.My brows furrowed. “BE?”The lights flickered on and I squinted for a second before adjusting my vision. The curtains were draped shut and the only source of light in the room was from the light bulb. Well, now, there were two.A goofy grin grew around his lips as he hiked one hand on his hip. “Morning, baby.”We haven't established labels yet but I'm good with him calling me baby. As long as it's from him.I pushed the bedcovers and slid out of bed. “What are you doing?”My gaze dropped to the broken chinaware on the floor and I pinched the skin between my eyes. “I'm sorry. Okay?” He pouted those full lips of his and bent down to pick the broken pieces. “I tried surprising you with breakfast. Bu
