Less than ten minutes elapsed yet it felt like an eternity away from Olivia, and Asher cannot really fathom when and how he has grown so attached to the hybrid that barged into his life and stayed in the most unexpected ways.

When he pushes open the door to his bedroom, he’s welcomed by Olivia’s bright and loud laughter that chimes through his ears, Asher’s happiness blossoming at the sound of Olivia’s unrestrained one.

Asher closes the door behind him and he silently approaches Olivia after leaving his keys on his desk, noticing only then the reason for Olivia’s hilarity. “In my defense, Paul bought this to tease me.”

Olivia startles with a curse and pivots to face Asher, wielding a vivid pink Hello Kitty onesie in her hands, the sleeves white while the collar is adorned with a hood of the cat’s face. “You have got to stop creeping up on me like that.”

“That’s boring,” Asher replies. He scrutinizes the heaps of clothes that Olivia piled up on the island in the middle of the walk-in d

    “Do you like my scent that much?”The answer is an enthusiastic nod followed by Olivia slumping on her side on top of the stack of laundry as Asher lets go of her.“You can have some of them if you want. We can decide which one tomorrow,” Asher proposes and Olivia emits a brief hum of approval. “Do you want to lay down? I have everything I need so we can head to bed.”It takes a few minutes for Olivia to give a physical cue of agreement, the latter seemingly submerged in sudden sleepiness.Asher stands and before he can help Olivia on her feet the latter straightens up and busies herself with the pile of dirty clothes.Asher surveys Olivia as the hybrid meticulously selects which top to take with her, the dress one never straying away from underneath her nose as she scours the heap, forming a smaller one next to it.“I’ll be right back,” Asher says and marches toward his desk when his phone rings with a notification.A lull elapses where he replies to texts from the other clan’s boss

    When Asher turns off the light and exits the bathroom after tossing the clothes in the hamper, Olivia’s back faces him, only her head peeking out from below the covers. Asher is reminded all at once that on top of everything else, Olivia is also clad in pajamas Asher has put on in the past yet looks their best when worn by Olivia.The creature within him, not so forlorn anymore, feeds on the knowledge that Olivia is surrounded by Asher’s clothes, Asher’s blankets, and Asher’s scent. Asher’s all.While Asher himself is submerged in everything that makes Olivia, her affection and care, her presence that muzzles the loudest demons into a peaceful silence.Asher joins Olivia under the blanket, his iPad, and his phone on his nightstand. He doesn’t get to work right away, too greedy and selfish for that when he can instead sit crossed legs in front of Olivia, a hand finding its way in the hybrid’s hair fanned across the nest.The dress shirt Olivia seems to refuse to separate from is bundl

    “You’ve been working the whole time?” Olivia inquires and she notices then, on the second nightstand, the full glass of water that she doesn’t recall being there before.Olivia sneaks a look on the other bedside table next to Asher and she sees an empty glass along with a bottle of water on it.“Yeah, just clearing some issues and checking a couple of things for the tournament,” Asher explains as he munches on the end of his Apple Pencil.Olivia smiles at the mob boss’ preventive care, shoving down the urge to kiss Asher by taking a sip of the water.“How’s your throat?”The water goes down the wrong pipe when Olivia sharply inhales at the inquiry and she bursts into a wet cough. A hand pats her back and Olivia slaps away. “What kind of question is that?” Olivia croaks out.Asher quirks a brow. “What about it?”“That’s such a weird thing to ask.”“I’m talking about your purr, not something unholy, as you’d say,” Asher sighs with a shake of his head.“My throat is fine,” Olivia says. “

    The wall disappears, replaced by Asher’s curious face. “Other things like what?” Asher reiterates.“Like what you just did,” Olivia says but doesn’t expand.It’s enough for Asher however, as it often is, and the mob boss confirms it with a graze of his mouth on Olivia’s nape. “This?”“Mhm,” Olivia smiles.“What else?”Olivia shuffles on her back and Asher reclines in response. Olivia pushes the hem of her sweater to display her marked hip. She takes Asher’s wrist, guiding the fingers that eagerly spread on her waist. “That too.”“What else?” Asher says again and his palm coddles Olivia’s side in a measured, supple caress, goosebumps erupting in its wake.Olivia feels quite confident, however, she’s not bold enough to slide Asher’s hand under the rim of her pants, a compromising gesture one can make at 5 a.m. that Olivia refuses to indulge into. For now. She opts instead to place Asher’s other hand on her thigh above the pajama.“This,” Olivia says, playing with her tongue piercing to

    Asher lets go and he presses his index and middle finger on his mouth before carrying the kiss to Olivia’s temple. “Good.”Without any additional words, Asher works on the blueprints once more while Olivia remains where she is, surveying the mob boss, tracing the curves of Asher’s nose, the full lips that she wants to have on her skin again but makes no demand for just yet.There’s something in Olivia that unfurls, akin to how it felt earlier at her apartment, and it’s not subspace, per se.It’s a simple yearning to be compliant and please Asher that translates as softly as it flourished.Olivia, after taking the bottle again, leans over the boss’ lap to take Asher’s empty glass before perching herself back on her crossed feet tucked under her thighs.It only takes her a few seconds to fill the glass with water that she soon hands it out to Asher.Asher glances at the present. His gaze lights up with a contentment that grows when he hooks his fingers around the glass.Asher’s pride is

    Asher wraps his other arm around Olivia’s midsection, keeping her pressed flush against his chest in a warm embrace.He supports his chin on Olivia’s shoulder while his fingers draw haphazard patterns on the ribs, and the warmth that resides somewhere next to Olivia’s heart is rekindled at every graze of Asher’s nails, every touch of his fingertips ebbing at the itch.A lull elapses and the silver necklace is quick to find, one of two thin, cable chains with a third added one that is thicker and closer to the neck.The golden necklace for Olivia’s daily wear is just as easy to stumble on, similar to the silver one.The wall Olivia and Asher hit happens during their pursuit of the most crucial jewelry.Olivia doesn’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth when Asher is being kind and giving, however, her hunt for the necklace to wear when she’s soft and in Asher’s presence is annoyingly unsuccessful.“Sorry,” Olivia mumbles and drops the pencil on the blanket, removing her hands from A

    “Is this why you want it?” Asher says and while not being able to see the boss’s face greatly aids Olivia in stifling any shyness, a tamed timidness still makes itself known at the question.“Is it?” Asher presses. Olivia nods as she slings her arms over her stomach, fingers gripping at the blanket. “Can you use your words for me?”“Pink,” Olivia whispers as Asher’s nose rubs on Olivia’s neck.“How come you want it here of all places?” Asher’s hand on Olivia’s hip maps out the tattoo it cannot see, yet seems to have mastered the lines, swirls, and shapes of. “Where everyone can have their eyes on.”“I just want it there. I did in the pantry too but you refused,” Olivia petulantly adds.“Because I thought it could have been too much, and that you would have regretted it in the end.”“I wouldn’t have,” Olivia says, Asher’s thumb skidding up and down her throat, sporadically bumping under the angle of Olivia’s jaw. “I won’t.”“So, you’d want everyone to see it?” Asher summarizes, which c

    When Olivia wakes up a few hours later, it’s to an empty bed, Asher’s side on the mattress tidied up, the phone and iPad on the nightstand gone.It doesn’t take long for Olivia to figure out where the mob boss went when, and after relieving herself in the restroom, she climbs down the stairs to make her way to the dining room.Asher is seated at the end of the table installed in the corner of the bay windows and Olivia trudges up to the mob boss.Hands shoved in her pants pockets, Olivia knocks her foot on the leg of the chair Adam is occupying, the one directly on Asher’s left.“Move,” Olivia orders when Adam does not budge.Adam swivels around. “Say that again, GaintDog?”“That’s my seat. Move.”“How about you f*ck off before I shoot you in the knee?” Adam snaps when Olivia kicks the chair again. “It’s no one’s seat, however right now it’s mine because my a*s is on it.”“Adam, come on,” Walter intervenes from where he’s lounged further down the table, Mia by his sides. “They’re in t

    Both stare at each other silently. Asher’s words ring in the silent room. His face is filled with uncertainty and hesitation but also assurance. He is willing to do that only if Olivia will accompany him during those nights.Olivia without even hearing his words understands the turmoil in Asher’s heart. “Of course, Asher. we can call, facetime, or text whenever there's one. I’ll always be there with you”“Thank you.” Asher’s face breaks into a smile.The genuine smile makes Olivia’s heart tingle “We'll make a bunch of good memories about storms so that the bad ones are gone.” She says with a smile.Asher looks surprised and delighted with the suggestion “I'd love that.”“Me too.”Olivia looks at Asher and suddenly she remembers something “Also, I'm learning how to bake.”“What? Why?” Asher looks confused and surprised.“I was supposed to give you a gift some time ago but it slipped my mind with all the mess that had been happening. And now I changed the present I want to give you.” Ol

    They both go silent after that, looking at each other's faces not knowing what to say."What?” Olivia starts, she was offended by the silence from Asher “Did I say something wrong?" she asks Asher with a smile.Asher’s face lit up and he shook his head "No, not at all."His answer made Olivia satisfied, she nodded her head with a happy smile on her face. "Was there a thunder on your side?""Yeah, something like that." Asher’s face dims remembering the situation he was trying to ignore.Olivia notices and asks with a soft voice "Do you want to talk about it?"Asher looks startled "About what?" he asks with confusion."Why you're scared of storms."Asher peruses his lips and goes silent. His tongue comes out to lick his dry lips. He shifts on his bed curling on to himself "There's nothing much to say.""I'm still listening if you want to share." Olivia doesn’t prob, but still tries to talk to him.Asher is not someone who opens up to someone about his shortcomings. He has been trained t

    “I could live in this car.” Olivia sighs into the leather seat.“I don’t think Mini would appreciate that,” Asher says from where he’s bent over, his arms propped on the edge of the rolled-down window.“Good point. She’s tiny but needs a lot of space, a bit like Steve.” Olivia snickers at her own joke, two duffle bags brimming with Asher’s clothes thrown over the seat next to where she’s installed at the back of the car.“I’ll tell him you say that.”“Go ahead, I’ve been meaning to fight him after Airhead.”“Brat.”Olivia peers up at Asher, catching the fond smile on the boss’ lips. “Thank you for the date.”“You’re welcome, and thank you too,” Asher says, his face close to Olivia. “You enjoyed yourself?”“Mhm, the most,” Olivia grins as she fastens her belt when the driver enters the vehicle“Me too,” Asher whispers, and with his index, he brushes a strand of hair away from Olivia’s forehead. “I won’t be able to text you much today, but I’ll do what I can to try.”“It’s fine, don’t w
