HIS SECOND CHOICE Fight
Serena slowly pulled the laptop out of her bag, excited to surprise him. It wasn't a first-hand laptop but a second or maybe third hand as her financial situation didn't allow her for it. She had been thinking about getting him a laptop for some time as his current one was taking its last breath. When she enquired about the laptop, Asher revealed that this actually belonged to his dad. He had discarded and put it away long ago and when Asher persistently requested him to get him a laptop, he dumped it on him. This one was not brand new but at least was in working condition. She would be forever grateful to Dr. Harrison for this. He gave her this laptop. The kind soul was willing to give it for free but she had refused. As Asher had told her not to take favors from anyone, she had committed his words to her mind. So she bought the laptop from him at a reasonable price. In return, he also had asked her to make him Mac and Cheese which she agreed to happily. "Promise me that you won't

Asher got up from his chair and walked towards the window a hundred times. It was almost 11 and she hadn't come home yet. Once bustling street had now become almost deserted with only a few cars in sight. She had called him earlier to inform him that she would come late as today was one of her colleague's birthdays. Asher had offered to pick her up but she had refused saying her friend, Luna would drop her off. He didn't know she was talking about this late. As the minutes ticked by, his irritation grew. Suddenly, a black SUV turned the corner and slowed to a smooth halt right before their apartment. The passenger door opened not a moment late and Serena climbed out wearing a bright smile, causing him to frown. She closed the door and leaned on the window. Asher watched her as she said something to the driver before retreating and waving at the person. After that, she turned towards the entrance while the car rolled past the building. She raised her fist to knock on the door but b

"Asher? What are you doing here?" she questioned, confused. Asher walked closer and took her in his arms, taking her by surprise. "I missed you," he replied in a husk, smiling down at her. Serena gaped at him, still confounded as he leaned over her shoulder and pressed a kiss on the base of her neck. She was pressed flush against him. A clearing of the throat snatched their attention. Blushing, Serena tried to create distance between them but Asher didn't release her. Instead, he pressed her side to his and turned towards the man he suspected was Dr. Harrison. He then proceeded to plaster a smile across his face but the bitterness in his eyes remained intact. "You must be Dr. Harrison. Thanks for dropping off MY GIRL last night," he initiated stressing on "My girl.""Your girl?" Harrison asked and looked between them in confusion. "Yes. I am her boyfriend Asher Carter," Asher promptly made the point he came all the way here for. Serena stilled, stunned by his admission. Did he ju

Serena had ridden in many fancy cars before but none came close to the happiness she felt riding this outdated car with uncomfortable seats and an unattractive interior. For her, it was the most beautiful car in the world because it belonged to Asher. He stopped the car outside a diner. They climbed down and walked inside. The diner was almost full except for a couple of vacant spots. Asher led her towards the table in the furthest corner and pulled a chair for her. Even small gestures like these from him were enough to make her heart flutter like crazy. He had her completely down for him. He beckoned a waiter and Serena gave their order. While eating, Serena felt the heat of his gaze on her several times but felt too shy to look up and catch him red-handed. After dinner, he drove for about forty-five minutes an hour and eventually pulled over in the middle of a vast open space. She got down after Asher and looked around. The desolate place- flanked by treelines from three sides-

They have been ignoring each other since then. She was all calm and composed but the same couldn't be said about Asher. The boy was spiraling out of control. Her silent treatment had started to bother him to no end and what bothered him even more was that she appeared unaffected by his silent treatment. Like it doesn't matter if he talked to her or not. He started dropping his wet towel on the floor, leaving his clothes around, and doing everything that Serena disliked to get his attention but the girl refused to bat even an eye in his direction, much to his vexation. "I can't find my black T-shirt," he barged into the room and announced. Four days had passed since they talked last. It was already Saturday. Serena didn't respond and continued watering her plants. "I said something," he repeated, frowning. Her ignoring skills were top-notch. When she didn't respond, he stalked over and caught her arm."Are you even listening?" he swiveled her towards him and demanded. She met his

The world stilled around them as she crossed over to him and slapped him hard across his face. Her palm stung but his face didn't move a bit. The sharp sound resonated through the room, causing everyone to hold their breath in dreadful anticipation. Asher clenched his fists while glaring down at her. There was a crazed glint in his eyes making him look deranged. She couldn't help her eyes welling up as she matched his glare with hers. Asher's features softened when he noticed tears in her eyes. He loosened his fists and reached up to wipe her unshed tears but before he could even touch her, Serena stopped him by grabbing his hand in mid-air. Her gaze was hard and angry as it bored into his eyes. "Why?" she demanded. Asher's features turned stone cold again in response. "He deserved it," he answered unapologetically. Serena eyed him with disbelief. She was speechless. "He deserved to be beaten like this? Can you hear yourself?" she questioned incredulously and tossed his hand away.

"I hope you don't mind me imposing on you," Serena asked Luna with a nervous laugh. "Ohh, It's okay. I and Atlas both are thrilled to share our space with you," Luna assured her. Serena smiled and enquired after Atlas. She hadn't seen him since her arrival. Luna whistled and just then a cute little pug came running out of one of the rooms. The pooch snuggled up against Luna's legs. Serena reached out and scratched the back of his ear, earning a purr from him. "He remembers you," Luna told her, grinning. She had brought Atlas to the clinic a few times where he had met Serena. Serena smiled. Luna's place was larger and better than hers. Her apartment had two rooms, a spacious kitchen, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the garden. She could only dream of buying herself a place like this. After staying on the balcony for some time, she returned to her room. They already had their dinner and Luna had long retired to her room. She decided to sleep as tomorrow she had a morning shift

Asher opened the door to find her standing in front of him. The girl with the tiniest frame in the world was frowning down at the floor. Without so much looking at him, she walked past him inside the apartment. Asher smirked and closed the door. Serena headed straight into her room. After closing the door in his face, she dragged her feet towards her bed and dropped her bag at the foot of her bed before collapsing down on the mattress. She sighed loudly, so much for ignoring him. She was planning on coming back after he realized his mistake. But it seemed fate didn't agree with her intention. That's okay. Even though she was here, she wouldn't talk to him. Asher was feeling this strange giddy sensation after finally having her here. He was happy and content. Now the house didn't feel lifeless any longer. Even though she was cold with him, her aura was still so warm and bright, suffusing the air with a warm golden color. After making some coffee for both of them, he headed towards th

HIS SECOND CHOICE Epilogue
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Always Together
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Claim Of Love
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Fight And Love
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Hearing
"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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Make Up
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Long Awaited Night
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Teasing Him
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Letter Of Blood
"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
