All Chapters of Unraveled (M x M romance): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ELLIOTI woke up with a headache.A dull, throbbing ache that sat behind my eyes and pulsed in time with my heartbeat.For a moment, I was afraid to move. Afraid to open my eyes.Because I knew the instant I did, everything that happened last night would come rushing back.Me coming back from the cemetery.The fight with Dad.The look on his face.The sound of his slap.And then… Asher holding me while I cried.My eyes snapped open.I stared at the ceiling, breathing slowly.Light filtered in through the curtains, settling against the walls of my room. Birds chirped loudly outside of my window. I could hear the water sprinkler going off in the garden.Yet, I couldn’t register any of it.All I could think about was his voice. His hands. His scent. The way I clung to him—I sat up abruptly. My head throbbed in protest.“Shit.”My heart raced.I didn’t push him away.I didn’t tell him to leave.Instead…I dragged a hand down my face, groaning softly.Instead, I had let him hold me.Worse

ELLIOTThe music was too loud.Or maybe my thoughts were. I couldn’t tell the difference.Bass reverberated through the club, vibrating through the floor, through my chest, through my skull like it was trying to knock my brain loose. Lights flashed in erratic bursts of purple, blue, red, painting everything in chaos.It was all very distracting and overwhelming.But then again, that was the whole point.“Drink,” Lucas shouted above the noise, shoving a glass into my hand.I took it without thinking and knocked it back in one go.It burned going down.Good.It was exactly what I needed.Houston whooped from beside me, already halfway onto the dance floor, dragging some stranger along with him. Elsa stayed near the bar, sipping from her glass slowly and watching me with those intense, almost knowing, dark eyes.I avoided her gaze.“Another?” Lucas asked.I nodded.I didn’t care what he handed me at this point. As long as it wasn’t water.Anything to not think.Anything to not feel.The

ASHERElliot didn’t have to say a word for me to know where he’d been.It was written all over him— the smell of sweat and alcohol wafting off him, the tight fitted black shirt under his leather jacket that showed off his nice build, the makeup, the look of guilt on his face like he’d just done something he regretted doing.Worse, I could smell a strange scent all over him. It wasn’t his usual cologne too, which meant it was someone else’s.A muscle in my jaw twitched.Yeah, I had an idea of where he had been.Elliot rolled his eyes, clearly over his initial shock. He walked further into the room, shutting the door behind him. “That’s none of your business,” he said, dropping his phone on the table and removing his jacket. “The better question is, what the hell are you doing in my room?”I watched as he hung his jacket over the back of the chair. “I was waiting for you. You weren’t at dinner and as far as I know, you don’t have any pending projects or–”He snorted. “You ‘know’ a lot a

ELLIOTAsher’s arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.His lips descended as if trying to kiss me and I turned my head away.I licked my lips, my heart racing.Asher chuckled, a deep, attractive sound that did nothing to calm my racing heart.“No kissing,” I said, my voice coming out a little breathless. “That was my one rule, remember?”“Relax,” he said. “I wasn’t trying to kiss you. Especially not with you like this.”“What does that mean?”He wrinkled his nose. “You’ve got the smell of another man all over you. It’s disgusting. Are men with cheap colognes your taste?”I sighed, suddenly irritated. I pushed his arm off my waist. “Fine. If you don’t want to touch me, then–”“Whoa, whoa, slow down. I didn’t say I wasn’t going to touch you. I just think maybe… you should have a shower first.”Unfortunately, I had to agree with him. Sweat, alcohol and the smell of the club clung to me and I felt the sudden urge to rub myself clean.I whipped my T-shirt over my head and tr

ELLIOTIt hit me then. I had a sudden realization. This was what he was talking about. This was my punishment.And he knew me enough to know exactly how to drive me insane.Crazy fucker.“Now,” he continued. “all you just have to do is take it with no complaints.” A pause.“Or you can complain all you want. Doesn’t matter to me either way.”Then the fucker grinned. He was enjoying this way too much.No. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me beg.I was going to resist.I could absolutely resist.All I had to do was hold on to my self- control.Wait… what did I say about my self-control again?Right. It was completely blown to smithereens where Asher was concerned.And that was quickly proven again when he lowered his head and instead of his hand, his mouth encircled my dick instead.His lips ghosted over my tip as he flicked his tongue against my slit, licking the precome off.I sucked in a breath and let out a sound that was a cross between a moan and a whimper.I w
