HIS SECOND CHOICE Pursuit Of His Dreams
Serena assessed his appearance and couldn't help the line of concerns that creased her face. He was drenched in rain from tip to toe, his eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched. He looked like a mess. "What's wrong?' she asked in concern. He stared at her for a whole minute, debating internally. She was dying to know the cause of his condition. "Can I stay here with you for a few days?" he questioned, sounding embarrassed. Serena was taken aback by his request. It was then her eyes caught the sight of his backpack which he was holding in his hand. Her concern grew but she bit her tongue on it. She nodded and sidestepped for him to get in. Raindrops trailed behind him as he walked in with his head downcast. "I'll get the towel," she stated and disappeared inside her room to get it. Asher dropped the bag to the floor and raked a hand through his wet hair. Even the rain couldn't douse the inferno of rage hissing through his brain. Serena came back with a towel in his hand. "Here," she nudg
HIS SECOND CHOICE Living Together
Serena set down the box on the study table in front of him. Asher paused scribbling in his diary. His gaze flickered to the box and then he glanced up at her in confusion. She was standing over him with a beaming smile on her face. She motioned for him to open the box. He reached out a hand and opened it only to find a pair of glasses sitting inside. It looked very much like his earlier glasses but with an expensive touch to it. "You liked them?" she asked in a hopeful tone. Asher raised his gaze to her. Her smile faltered upon seeing his bothered expression. "How much did it cost you?" he enquired with a frown on his face. "Not as much as you think. The storekeeper is a regular to our clinic so I had them at a discount," she lied with a shrug to not make him feel bad. Asher sighed."Serena, I don't want you to splurge on things..""It's not splurging, Asher. It's a basic necessity. You needed them.," she said with a reassuring smile. He would never say it out loud but she knew he
HIS SECOND CHOICE His Family
Asher pulled into the driveway of his dad's house and leaned back in his seat, taking a deep breath. He looked nervous. Serena put a hand on his arm, prompting him to look her way. Like always, she exuded positivity and warmth. "Let's get it over with," she gave him a reassuring smile. Asher responded with a stiff nod and turned to open his door. Serena mimicked his action and got down the truck she had borrowed from her friend. Her eyes swept over the house situated in front of them. It was an ordinary mid-sized house with a small lawn in the front. "Come," Asher said and started towards the main door. Serena fell in line behind him. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. Her first encounter with his dad was still fresh in her mind. His judgemental gaze, the sheer contempt in his tone, his denigrating statements- she remembered them all and wasn't looking forward to facing them again. But how could she let Asher walk into that hell all alone? Asher had initially refused to
HIS SECOND CHOICE Hurting Together
Flames of anger licked through Asher when he saw his father stalking towards Serena. He swept in between them and seized Tom's filthy hand mid-air before they could even touch Serena's sacred aura. "Don't you dare," he ground out while brutally squeezing Tom's wrist. Their eyes locked in a silent battle of will. "You imbecile," she exclaimed from afar, too scared to get near. "Leave your dad's hand," her appalled voice cut through the tension that hung in the air. Asher ignored her remark and continued to stare down at his father, his rage evident in his eyes. The air around them was heavy and thick with the weight of their confrontation. It had turned downright vicious. "I should have killed you the day you were born," Tom hissed. Asher kept his face neutral. He refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing him hurting. "Raise your hand on her again and I will rip this whole arm off your body," Asher warned him in a cold and exact tone. He released his hand with a jerk, stil
HIS SECOND CHOICE Him And Her
She woke up to find him gone. His blanket and bedspread were neatly folded at the edge of her bed. She groaned in regret. Damn her sleep. She couldn't even wish him luck. Today was a special day for Asher. He had gone to meet his potential business partner. The boy was awake all night perfecting his blueprint. Serena tried to stay awake with him but her body was too exhausted from work to comply. She didn't even realize when she fell asleep. Serena grabbed her phone to message him Good luck but stopped right before sending it. What if he was showing his phone to his partner and he saw the message? She deleted the text, dropping the idea. She got off bed to start her day. After finishing her morning ablutions, she headed straight to the kitchen to make her something. A plate loaded with sandwiches was awaiting her on the kitchen counter. Smiling, she grabbed the plate and started munching on it while preparing her morning coffee. Best sandwiches in the world. Asher had taken his firs
HIS SECOND CHOICE Hot Moments
Serena stilled in shock as he locked his heavy arms around her frame. The girl was yet to make sense of it when she suddenly found herself moving on his lap. Not finding their current closeness enough, he drew her up until her back was pressed firmly to his front. Her heartbeat paused before accelerating at a maddening speed as she suddenly found herself caged between his arms and his chest. She could feel his chest rising and falling against her back with his every breath. "Asher," she weakly protested as he brushed her hair aside. His fingertips lightly skimmed her skin, causing goosebumps to scatter down her arms. She was having a hard time staying in control with him touching her the way he was. When he didn't respond, she lifted herself off his lap in an attempt to stand up. "No. Stay," He slurred, pulling her back onto his lap and tightening his hold in a relentless grip, allowing her no escape from him. "Stay, Pumpkin," he breathed hotly on her nape, causing a tingling
HIS SECOND CHOICE Promise
She went straight to the kitchen and gulped down a glass of water. She clutched the edge of the counter and leaned over it to maintain her balance, her legs were still shaking. What got into him? She wasn't prepared to see this side of Asher. The mad lust in his eyes as he gazed at her with the sole intention of ravishing her to her core. She had felt the heat of his gaze scorching right through her flesh- that intense his stare was. His domineering face when he demanded her to kiss him. And his bulge. Blush flamed her face. This was the first time she had felt a man's private part. It wasn't soft like she had assumed but hard and tight. He was hard for her. He wanted her. What would have happened if she had stayed a little longer? If she hadn't stopped him? It would be a lie if she said she didn't want to find out. It had taken everything within her to walk away when she wanted nothing more than to submit to his carnal desires, to his primal needs. Serena paced the kitchen to ca
HIS SECOND CHOICE Getting Closer
Asher woke up to the enticing aroma of pancakes.He instinctively touched his throbbing head and sat up. As he breathed in the aroma, he looked around and realised he was alone in the room."Good Morning," Serena entered the room carrying a tray full of pancakes, a mug of hot coffee, and a bowl of mac and cheese. Asher watched her, feeling warmth spreading throughout his insides as she approached him with the sweetest smile on her face. Her positivity both dazzles and confuses him. He still could not understand how she was always this happy and positive. Where does she get so much positivity from? She was a beacon of light and owned the purest soul in this world. How she was so untouched by the cruelty of this world was beyond him. His thoughts came to an abrupt halt when his gaze absently slipped to the soaking front of her t-shirt. Something stirred within him as his eyes trailed over the outline of her bra. The images of her half-concealed cleavage flooded his mind. They had looke
