The silence had grown unbearably oppressive in the car as he drove her somewhere. He had yet to utter anything yet. The tension was palpable, making her stomach churn with unease. The sight of him fuming in silence wasn't helping either. He was holding the steering with a knuckle-whitening grip, a stern expression set across his face as he stared ahead at the road. The air was tense, and it felt as though it could snap at any moment now. "Where are you taking me?" she forced back the lump in her throat and asked. No response. He didn't even look her way. Serena exhaled a troubled breath.Asher pulled over in the middle of somewhere and got out of the car. Walking around to her side, he pulled her door open and asked her to step out. Hesitation was evident in her movement as she came out of the car. A biting gust of wind blew in her face, making her shiver. She squinted in the darkness, trying to figure out where they were. "Do you remember this place?" Asher looked her way and aske
He preferred them like this- without clothes, distance, and inhibitions. There was no space for space between them. He wanted her all bare to himself; from the curves of her body to the depth of her soul so that he could kiss every inch of her. He yearned to be inside her all the time. His craving for her was neverending. No matter how many times he had her, his hunger for her body and soul felt insatiable. He pressed down on her body with his, savoring the exquisite feel of her skin rubbing against his. Making love to her was addictive. He had turned into a sex maniac since the day he took her for the first time. But sex with her was beyond physical. It was the connection of their soul that he sought by joining their body. His lips moved up her side, trail kisses. Serena was breathing heavily, her sweet juicy bosoms heaving up and down with every breath she took. Asher bit into the underside of her breast, making her whimper. She was feverish, the heat of flame burning in her
"Why are you nervous? Are you having second thoughts about him? You wanna run away, I can help you," Ayleen shot off her questions at Serena. Serena rolled her eyes. "I am not having second thoughts nor do I wish to run away. I just....I don't know it's a big day..A life-altering day for me. I am just nervous," she explained, not sure why her heart was pounding in her chest. Serena sighed and sat down on the chair, not sure how to describe her feelings. It was confusing. She was happy but nervous too. This all was happening so fast. If someone had told her four years ago that she would be marrying so young, she wouldn't have believed it but now look at her, all dolled up to take sacred vows. Ayleen put a hand on her shoulder. "It happens. Being nervous is the most common thing for a bride," her friend assured her. Serena looked up at her and smiled. She was the only friend who could make it to her wedding. Shanice was out of the country on a shoot. As everyone had expected, her ca
Serena stood in front of him with a shy smile, her eyebrows lifted in question, asking for his opinion on her appearance. Asher swallowed, completely mesmerized by her remarkable beauty. His eyes were wide and his mouth parted. He couldn't believe he was going to marry this beautiful angel. He felt a rush of excitement and gratitude, realizing that he was the lucky guy who would wake up every morning beside her, basking in her light. He would be the one to gaze into those captivating eyes each day. He couldn't believe he was the lucky bastard who would have the honor of calling her his wife. Serena broke eye contact with him to scan the interior. Asher had spared no expense to make the day special for her. It was the same church where they had shared their first kiss which made it even more special. The church looked nothing like its old self. Asher had it renovated especially for their wedding. The interior looked lavish and straight out of heaven with all those beautiful flowers.T
Asher drew the curtain over the window, having no desire to admire the moon glowing outside when he had his own moon right here with him. He craved only her light and warmth. After isolating themselves from the world, he turned towards her. She was standing in the center of the room looking at him with her innocent eyes. A mischievous smirk played over his lips as he started taking purposeful strides towards her. The bedsheet was decorated with two giant interlocked hearts made of rose petals. The light in the room was dim, in tune with the romantic setup. "Why were you nervous?" When reached closer, he bent to her eye level and asked. She shrugged, not sure why. Asher then stepped around to circle her like a predator. Despite having spend so much time with him, she still sometimes felt intimidated by his imposing air. The success had brought significant changes in him or maybe it was her company. He carried himself with a lot more confidence now. "Serena Carter. Carter suits y
Serena looked out the window at the vast expanse of the garden in front of their mansion. The garden was decorated with tables were posted everywhere. They had moved into their mansion about a couple of days ago and today was their housewarming party. Eleven months had passed since their wedding. Things had only gone upwards since that day. His company had made massive profits over these few months. Asher was being noticed by the renowned names of the business world. He was nominated for the Young Entrepreneur Award. And if things go well, soon he will be amongst the billionaire section of society. And it all happened after their marriage. Asher would always tell her that she was his lucky charm. The company succeeded only because he named it after her. He had also transferred the ownership of their mansion to her as one of her wedding gifts. She owned this mansion and half share of his business. "I've checked all the arrangements, ma'am. Everything is perfect," Mr. Garreth, their bu
All the eyes focused on them as soon as they made their appearance. Serena noticed many distinguished personalities among their guests, eyeing her with curiosity. Everyone had heard about Mrs. Carter but very few had the chance to see her in person. Asher would always mention her in his speeches and attribute all his success to her. Naturally, everyone was beyond curious to see the Goddess who gave up her own dreams for her husband's. And the sight didn't disappoint them. Even a blind could see the love this couple held for each other just by the way they smiled at one another.Mrs. Carter possessed a divine aura. Her presence seemed to light up the room, and the guests couldn't help but admire her grace and beauty. Unlike her husband who carried an air of authority, she had a warm and inviting presence that put people at ease. The way she smiled at others with so much sweetness and kindness was a testament to her lovable nature. She was strikingly opposite to Asher Carter in terms o
Serena looked for him everywhere in the house but to no avail. When she couldn't find him anywhere, she headed towards the garden that Asher had built for her. The garden was their private space where no one else was allowed except for them. She spotted a figure sitting on a bench as soon as she entered the garden. Gathering the skirt of her gown in her hands, she fast-marched to where he was. Asher was gazing blankly into the pond's still water, lost in his thoughts. Serena felt her heart tear apart as she observed him. His dad purposefully showed up to ruin the day for him. They just can't see him happy. Serena sat down beside him, her warm body pressed against his. She leaned her head on his shoulder, clasped their hands together and rested her eyes on the tranquil pond. He had gifted her this garden on their six-month anniversary. From the beautiful flowers to the cabbages on the front, they all were the fruits of his hardwork. A faint smile came onto her lips as she recalled hi
Four Years Later After finishing her shift, Serena returned home only to find Asher singing Brianna a lullaby and rocking her gently to sleep. Dream sweet dreams for me Dreams sweet dreams for you...... Her lips curved into a smile as she leaned against the doorframe and watched him lulling their daughter to sleep. Soon tears welled up in her eyes as she realised how perfect their life was going. Bree was lost in her dreamland but it seemed Asher was not ready yet to part from her so he kept singing and rocking her. Wiping away her tears, she walked inside letting him sense her presence. Asher turned around. His eyes lit up when he saw her. "She is asleep," she told him, smiling. His features softened. "I know," he replied. He just didn't want to let go of her. "How was the work?" he asked as he laid little Bree in her cradle. "Same usual," she answered, watching him. "How was your day," Serena asked. She felt so lucky to have Asher. He was working from home for over a
The verdict was out. Shanice was sentenced to 16 years in prison for all her crimes. Her career, her life was over. Mr. Cooper broke the news to Asher. Asher felt bad for Mr. Cooper but chose not to pick on his wounds. He thanked the attorney and invested in his firm generously for his help as Mr. Cooper refused to accept a fee from him. After wrapping up his meeting with him, Asher picked up his book on parenting and resumed reading. He leaned back in his chair, put on his glasses, and got to work. The word "excitement" did not measure up to what he was feeling. His wait was almost over. In just a few days, he would be a dad. He will be holding his own child in his arms. It just felt unbelievable. If ten years ago someone had told him that one day his life would be full of joy, happiness, and laughter, he would have beaten the shit out of them for mocking him. His life had taken such a beautiful turn. It was all because of his sweet angel. Serena. She was the source of his happine
Their body moved together in melodious harmony, pushing and pulling like a magnet. Asher grabbed her face close and deepened their kiss. Saliva dripped down the corner of their mouth, their eyes closed but their senses hyperaware. He could taste passion on her tongue and by God, he was hooked. The lashing of her tongue against his sent thousands of volts of current down his veins. No matter how many times he fuck her, it was still not enough. He craved their proximity like a man craves oxygen. Her sweet moans, feeble gasps, and innocent response fed his insatiable hunger for her. Time stood still as they explored each other's bodies, their connection growing deeper with every passing moment. Those wet sounds turning louder with his every vigorous stroke. Breaking the kiss, he buried his face into the crook of her neck. Her ass was perched on her study desk and he was standing between her thighs. The day after tomorrow was her viva and instead of studying, here she was indulging in ca
Serena learned morning sickness isn't limited to the morning only. It continued all day long and on top of that, she had also developed a strong aversion to non-vegetarian food which meant Asher couldn't enjoy them either. Her hormones were like a roller coaster, constantly shooting up and down, affecting her mood. Asher was having a hard time keeping up with her mood swings. One moment she would be laughing, and the next, she would be crying like a baby, leaving Asher utterly confused.The doctor had warned him beforehand about her coming mood swings. She said pregnancy does it to women and more so in her case as her body was working extra hard to keep the baby. He had not expected it to be this bad when the doctor had told him that it would be "bad." The other day she kicked him out of their room only because he fell asleep before her. He had to take refuge in the guest room that night. Her temper is always at the boiling point but what bothered him the most was her physical distre
"You don't have to go," Asher tried to dissuade Serena from accompanying him to the court. He was reluctant to take her along as he didn't want Shanice's evil eyes to touch her or their baby. Serena firmed the knot of his tie and angled her head up to meet his eyes. He was looking down at her with concern. "You are worrying for nothing. No harm can touch me as long as you are by my side," she reassured him. She didn't believe in herself as much as she believed in him. She had no concern for her safety for she knew Asher wouldn't let anything happen to her or their baby. Besides, Shanice would be in shackles. There is no way for her to inflict harm on them. And Serena was done being in the background."You've already made up your mind, haven't you?" he questioned with a sigh. Serena's smile widened in response."Yes. I am coming," she chirped, giving a light pat on his chest. ......Mr. Cooper was already at the court when they arrived. The color had returned on his face but it had
Serena woke up to something wet trailing down her neck. Even in a half-asleep state, she recognized his soft yet possessive touch. A moan escaped her mouth as she tried to scoot away only to be pulled back into the safety of is embrace. His arms were coiled around her, keeping her closer. She had missed a morning like this. A sense of serenity washed upon her.Her eyes fluttered open, greeted by the sight of a clear, blue sky from the window. The wet sensation was now replaced by ticklish fluff of kisses. She gazed out at the clear sky all the while savoring the feel of his lips against her skin. As he had shattered the door, nothing was stopping the chilly gusts from invading the room. The curtains caught in the breeze fluttered and billowed. However, they remained shielded by the covers- naked and tangled beneath it. "Good Morning," he breathed hotly against her skin, causing her to shiver in delight. His bedroom voice was a huge turn-on. What felt like an eternity, she was finall
In a blink, Asher was in front of her. Before she could comprehend anything, he gripped her hair in a vice-like grip, forced her face up, and slammed his mouth against hers. Biting and nibbling, he mauled her soft flesh with his brutal kiss. He sank his teeth into her sweet flesh, causing blood to ooze. Now that felt like a bloody kiss. The kiss was so brutal yet so intense that she couldn't help but feel delirious. His hand pulled taut on her hair, eliciting moans from her, the sound intertwining with their passionate kiss. Asher devoured her mouth with an insatiable hunger as though he was an addict and her sweet juicy lips were his drug. His free hand went around and unhooked her bra with a sense of urgency. He needed to get rid of all these clothes between them. Impatient for her touch, he seized her wrist and made her rub his bulge through the fabric. An animalistic grunt tore from his throat at her first caress. His cock had suffered the most after his heart during their separ
An idea occurred to Serena, causing a mischievous glint to enter her eyes. Asher oblivious to the little plan brewing in her mind continued to smoke with his back on her. The familiar scent of tobacco surrounded him. It was after a very long time he was smoking. He wouldn't lie one of the reasons he was smoking right now was to vex her. She didn't like him smoking. The air outside was chilling but as the tobacco bled into his veins, he didn't feel it as bad as it was. A rustling noise from inside caught his attention, causing his ears to perk up. Curious, he turned around only to discover she had pulled aside all the curtains from the glass walls that separated the balcony from the room. He located her at the end of the wall, carrying a suggestive glint in her eyes as she drew aside the last curtain. Asher raised his brows in skepticism, her body language felt different. She coyly bit down on her lip and started walking backward, maintaining their eye contact. On her way, she turn
"Did you write it with your blood?" she asked in disbelief, her eyes bulging out of her sockets. Asher grinned proudly."Yes," he answered. Serena raised her gaze to him. Seeing no expectant smile on her face, his own grin shrunk. "Are you a kid? Why would you do this?" she asked, baffled. Kids do these kinds of stuff in school. What happened to his rationality?A frown settled over his lips. "You wanted it," he answered, unsure why she was unhappy. Didn't she want him to write a letter to her? It had taken him a lot of effort to write it. He literally spilled his blood for it. This wasn't the reaction he was hoping for. His answer set her off. She narrowed her eyes at him. "When did I ask you to write me a letter with your blood?" she snapped, leaving Asher with no defense. Asher was still confused as to why she was focusing on unnecessary stuff and not reading the letter. She looked down at his hand and seized it. With a long sigh, she upturned his hand to find a bandaid on his
