Asher’s POV

Attraction danced between us as our gaze locked and we did nothing but just breathe in sync. This wasn’t expected but it was happening anyway. As a matter of fact, when I dragged her here, I didn’t think this was going to be happening right now.

“What the hell am I doing?” I asked myself, but with my hands still on her hips. It was as if they were glued there and I was unableto remove them.

I saw why Gary was trying to be sweet to her, to get easy access to get in her pants. She was gorgeous, and I knew he wouldn’t be the first or the last man to fall at her feet.

She had a face and a body that could tempt the devil himself, so right now, I shouldn’t be criticized. I couldn’t even control the situation as it was. Why was I here, holding this woman in my lap and staring at her without knowing what to do?

Trust me, if any man were to be in my situation right now, they wouldn't be able to do any differently, seriously.

She was making my heartbeat spike so quickly and without

    May’s POVI couldn’t believe what my mother said, but then again, I wouldn’t blame her. If I was in her shoes, maybe I would say the same thing.That was a fat lie, I wouldn’t tell my daughter to put up with her cheating husband, the one that didn’t respect her, or rate her at all. Aside from seeing her with that woman at the club, he had dragged me to some room to humiliate me.That was certainly not what I would tell my daughter at all.“Mom?” I called, giving her a look that should tell her I was confused. “How can you even say that?” I asked. “I just told you my husband cheated on me and that’s all you can say?”“Did you just explain that you didn't catch them doing anything?” she asked me.“Does that justify cheating then?” I asked right back instead of answering.“Don’t ask stupid questions you don’t want answers to, May. But since you ask that, let me answer you.” I watched my mother stood up from where she sat to come sit beside me. She picked up my left hand and held it in he

    May’s POV“Asher?” I called out as I started towards the kitchen, but I heard no sound coming from there. It didn’t stop me from entering though. I was parched so I quickly grabbed a bottle of water, drank from it as I walked out and towards the stairs.Why was the house so quiet like this? It was already late in the evening, so Asher should be home, but he was probably held up somewhere in the house working, as he brought work home sometimes.“Or maybe he’s just somewhere plotting how next to get rid of you.” I said to myself. I had been waiting for him to ask me to sign the papers again, but since the scene at the club in that room, I haven’t seen much of him.As I approached the door of his bedroom, the one he doesn’t let us share because “woman always need their privacy” even though I knew it was because he didn’t want me in his space, my hand reached up, prepared to knock.I needed to do what my mother said to do and see where that would get me.A muffled groan sounded through th

    Asher’s POV“Where the hell is he?”That question was what woke me a week later, May was gone. That reminded me, that I still haven’t signed the divorce papers myself, but I would surely get around to it.I groaned as I opened my eyes, cursing softly when I realized that I hadn’t closed the curtains in my room. Turning around on the bed, I listened again to the voice I had heard from my sleep.For a moment, I heard nothing, l so I thought that perhaps, it had been a dream, but then I heard it again after a moment. “Where the hell is Asher?”At that, I knew who was looking for me.It was my mother. She was the only one out could be because no one dared yell in my house at all, talkless this early.What the hell was going on? Why was she here this early, and more importantly, why was she yelling like this? I would only have the answer when I saw her anyway, so I stood up from the bed and grabbed my sweatpants. I had slept naked last night, as I did most nights.When I had worn the sweat

    Asher’s POV Need I say that I was right to have cut off May, and divorced her? Okay, maybe she did sign the papers, and I haven’t, but you know what I mean. I was in my office minding my business and working to get my money when her father came to visit me, and now, he’s sitting in front of me with an imploring look on his face. I could tell he was here for something. “What are you doing here, Will?” I asked. The older man scratched the spot behind his ear as he looked at me, and then he hesitated a second before he said. “Huh, I just wanted to remind you about the money you promised if I get May to sign the papers.” This man was funny, but not to me right now because I wanted to bash his head in. What was he talking about? Well, I would indulge him and see where this went. “I dare to ask you why you keep needing so much money, Will.” He shrugged. “Well, my business seems to have gone downhill since I last saw you. My business dealings just seem to fall through for no reason, so

    May’s POV By the time I settled in my new apartment at the end of the week, I was so tired I wasn’t sure I could do anything more. I sat on my couch in my black leggings, black crop tank-top and white loose Supima material top.Right now, I felt like taking a shower and grabbing my computer to check my mails, but damn, I was tired. I haven’t been able to rest that much for a week now, all I could do was come back from work and continued with unpacking or buying stuff. This was the first time I was staying alone anyway, so I had a lot to buy.I heard the doorbell, just as I started to stand up to go grab some water in the kitchen. My apartment was on the second floor of the building I didn’t think I would be able to live on, and it came with an elevator and a doorbell. That was one of the things that attracted me to the place.It could only be Emily, at least, it was what I thought. She was the only one that could be there because she was the only one that knew I was here now. I hav

    May’s POV“May, where are you?”“In here.” I said as soon as I heard Emily’s voice. She had told me she was coming to my place soon, but I didn’t think it would be this fast. I heard her walked to where I was in my room.I was glad my apartment was in order, because I had gotten so much done, and it looked all arranged now, with a sweet scent of pine filling the air. I just loved that smell.“Girl, I can believe you’ve done so much in such short time.” Emily said and I giggled just before she walked into the room.Emily's eyes connected to mine where I was sitting on the floor with some clothes around me. “What are you doing?” she asked with a frown, looking at me as if I was doing something I shouldn’t.“Don’t give me a look as if you just caught my hand in some cookie jar, Em, I’m obviously folding these clothes for the closet.” I said, shaking my head at her.She sighed and rolled her eyes before walking over to me and sitting right beside me right there on the floor. “Smart ass.”

    May’s POVI sat at the bar with a very heavy heart and I was nursing the drink that was in front of me, my right hand propped against my head. One would think the noise from the bar would draw out my thoughts, but all I could think about was money.I wasn’t just thinking of any kind, I was thinking about the kind that could help my family, even though my stepfather kept gambling it down the drain. I didn’t want to believe that he had taken out the mortgage on the house just to help the company, I was sure he had gambled half of it away.Just when was my mother going to realize that and leave his sorry ass? Just when?I sighed and shook my head as I sat there. Emily should be here soon, I told myself as she already confirmed she was near.I just wanted to have a fun night this Friday, before going home to sleep it off and wake up to it tomorrow. I was going to really…My phone vibrated in front of me on the counter and I looked down to see it was a text from Emily telling me she was he

    May’s POVEmily followed me out to the dance floor, where two other couples were dancing already and she grabbed my hands, moving them as she moved herself. As the music started to sip into my body, I closed my eyes and let myself feel it.“This is what Im talking about, girl.” Emily yelled over the fast music, and when I opened my eyes, I could see the smile on her face.“I’m just trying,” I said in a reply, looking towards the VIP section to see Asher and the woman sitting there, but with Brent now sitting beside the woman, with his hand wrapped around her waist.Oh wow! Maybe the woman I had thought was his flavor of the night wasn’t his at all, but Brent. Perhaps, she was his girlfriend, because I knew Brent was decent and didn't really go from one woman to the other.Anyway, that wasn’t any of my business, plus I really didn’t think thinking about them would help me tonight. Before I turned my back to them, I saw Asher laughing at something the woman beside Brent said, and my hea

    May’s POVAs soon as I opened the door of my room later that evening after Ellen left to go downstairs to get an apple before going to bed, I saw Asher standing there.“I can’t give you any more time, May.” That was the first thing he said to me as I looked at him. What the hell was he talking about?I frowned, biting my bottom lip. “Stop doing that, May. If you seriously don’t want me to ravish you right now, stop doing that.” He said.I was utterly confused, not sure I knew what he was referring to. I just frowned and looked at him. “What are you talking about?” I asked after a few more seconds of silenced from him. I had been expecting him to clarify without me having to ask, but he just stared at me.“Biting your lip, that’s what.” He said casually.“Oh! I see. Sorry, I’m not doing it on purpose.” I said and he nodded.“Where are you going to?” He asked me.“I’m going to the kitchen.” I said.“That’s good. Maybe we can talk there.” He said.I shook my head. “Or maybe we can talk h

    Asher’s POVI stood by the kitchen door with my bag in my hand, listening to what they were saying; my mother and my wife.As soon as I got back from the office, my butler had told me my mother was around and that she was in the kitchen with May, and now I was here to meet them.But then I got here and I heard May said she was leaving. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. I even clenched my hands in fists, it was all I could do to not storm in there, grabbed her hands and drag her upstairs to show her why she wasn’t going to leave.“Again, thank you, but I can’t stay. I just wanted to speak with Asher before I left.” I heard her say. “And it’s taking too long for him to come home. I don’t know if you please tell him I said good-bye?” She said.Okay, that was the height of what I could stay here and listen to, because I was already boiling. But then again, I knew I couldn’t show anger because I knew she was also hurting.I grabbed the doorknob and pushed it downward to open the door,

    Asher’s POVThis was it, the height of the avoidance I could do, really, but I was trying to prove a point to May, that she needed me as much as I needed her.She was the other half of me I didn’t know before, or maybe I did, but didn’t want to accept it then. Back then, she would have been the one trying to get me to see her, now I was the one, and I thought avoiding her would make her see me.But it was killing me, really. I just want her to come to me already, and it was what I had been waiting for.Brent shook his head at me as he sat in front of me with his glare on me. “Just what the hell are you doing to yourself, Asher.” He asked.“What I think would work!” I said, but was it really working. "Look, Brent, I know it seems crazy, sounds so, even, but I need her to realize how much she means to me and I can’t do that if she doesn’t want me," I replied, frustration evident in my voice.I didn’t care right now, as long as I put it out there. I was tired of having to explain myself

    Asher’s POV“Fuck baby, I just want to kiss you right now.” I said and I watched as her eyes went huge in her face for a couple of seconds before she closed her eyes tightly. I smiled again, shaking my head.Although, Gary had been an ass who just wanted me dead, but then again, he had given me a good advice, and told me to make haste when it came to dealing with May.She was my wife, but at this point, it was just in name only. She was not as close to me as I would want her to be. I wanted her back, the woman I had married, the one that would look at me like I was the only man in the world that mattered.I wanted the woman that always cared for me and put me first. Yes, I might have been the one to drive her off with my stupid opinion, but at least, I was trying to get her back now.I stared down at her mouth, as she licked it, but I knew it was because she was nervous. I liked it though, and I smiled again, before finally pushing my head to hers, and kissing her, pushing my tongue i

    May’s POVA knock sounded on the door of my room, and I knew it was Asher before I asked who it was. That was the way he usually knocked. If it was the butler, I would know as well, but I asked all the same.“Who’s that?” I asked, and as expected, Asher answered.“It’s me, May.” He said and I sighed, pushing up from the chair in front of my dresser I was sitting to walk to the door.I had locked it earlier when I walked in after lunch to get a bit of a shut eye. I had just woken up about a couple of minutes ago, and I had washed my face, and sat down to apply some facial cream on my face.I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it open. “Hey, Ash. What do you want?” I asked as soon as I saw him standing there.Okay, I didn’t mean to sound like this, at all, so I would blame it on the fact that I had just woken up from sleep.He gave me a surprised look, like he didn’t expect me to ask him that, but then again, I wasn't in the mood to explain that this was because I had just woken up from s

    Asher’s POV“I can’t believe you did all of this because of what Dad did, Gary.” I said as I stared at the man sitting opposite me with a table between us and a cop waiting in the room with us.It had been a whole week since they arrested that man and he had provided evidence that Gary had not only sent him to stab me, but kill me.He must have missed a vital organ was why I was still here, alive. I just couldn’t believe it when I was told Gary was arrested as well.“I wouldn’t say I regretted my actions, because I wanted you gone. I wanted to hit your father where I knew it would hurt.” He said, a small smile on his face, and I scoffed.“Are you crazy?” I asked. “I can’t believe you would do this and take it lightly. Look around, buddy, you’re in jail.” I said and he lifted his hand in a shrug.“I know that, don’t you think I can see?” he asked me. “But then again, I tried what I wanted to, I got to see your father’s face and the fear on his face when he saw your in that condition.

    May’s POVI smiled mentally as I did a small victory dance when Brent told me the police had gotten the man who assaulted Asher, and that mood had been with me since then.He had told me since morning, but it was already evening, and I was still happy. What more could I have asked for, than for the man to start talking, which I was sure he would do soon.“Mrs. Campbell, your husband want your attention in the study.” I heard someone said behind me and I turned to see the housekeeper standing there with the napkin in hand, making me realize that she was probably about to start on dinner.Why was Asher wanting my attention anyway, I wanted to ask her as I raised my brows but I didn’t. Instead, I nodded my head at her and said. “Thank you, Dee.”She nodded her head with a small bow and then she walked out of the living room. I turned my head back after she was gone to the book that was in my hand. I had been reading to while away time because I was starting to get bored out of my mind. A

    Asher’s POVAnd as soon as Brent said that, the smile on my face faltered. This was just what I was waiting for. For some reason, I felt like May had been trying to stop him from telling me, but if that was the case, I wasn’t sure why.Was she trying to shield Gary, or me? Well, if I knew her as much as I thought I do, then she was probably shielding me.In her actions, I saw a familiar pattern of protectiveness that May often exhibited towards me. It wasn’t uncommon for her to try to shield me from unpleasant truths or difficult situations. She was probably doing this because she thought I couldn’t handle the truth of what they were about to tell me.Well, I would have to hear what all these was about to know if I could handle it or not. Just because I was just discharged from the hospital doesn’t mean I was some soft man that couldn’t handle some amount of truth.“Oh, yes! I would like to hear that very much.” I said, looking from Brent to my wife who was throwing him a look. My bes

    May’s POV“Huh, I think I hear the door.” Asher said and I looked up from my computer with a groan. I had just finished cooking lunch, and came back to resuming work about ten minutes ago, now I had to stand up again?I was going to have to call back the domestic staff because I needed to be able to stay on top of work as well as taking care of Asher. Doing things like having to get the door and other things like that wasn’t going to work.With I sigh, I stood up. “That must be Brent. You said he was on his way, right?” I asked and he nodded.There was something different about Asher that I just couldn’t put my fingers around since. For some reason, it seemed like he was brooding about something.I couldn’t help but think that maybe it was because of me and the fact that I was back here. I knew he said he wanted me back, but what if he was not comfortable with me anymore? What if he was not feeling as settled as he thought he would be if I came back?I shook my head off that thought,
