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

    Asher’s POVI felt May’s eyes on me but I tried not to look in her direction. It’s not as if I didn’t want to look at her in that black clothes she was wearing, clothes that looked as if they were made to fit her body perfectly.“Damn, she look so good in that top and skirt.” I told myself, and even though I had an uninterested look on my face.I’ve never seen her wear things like this before, really, and I couldn’t help but look at her twice, when I first saw her sitting there at the bar, and even while she went dancing on the dance floor, I had watched her, even though I tried to make it look like I didn’t.When that ass came behind her and started dancing, I had unconsciously folded my hands in fists beside me, before noticing that and unfolding it. The last thing I wanted was to have to explain to Brent; who still didn’t know May was here, who I was looking at, and why.He had gotten to know what I did after I asked him to find me a beautiful woman, and he had been so angry I used

    May’s POVConfused?Certainly, I was very confused, and all I’ve been able to think about all weekend and all day today, was Asher’s action at the club, beating that man so much he was bleeding, and would have gone to jail that night if he wasn’t who he was.Why? That was the question that kept coming to my mind all day.For one, he had dragged me, given me a divorce paper, and told me his opinion about my being without a job, and telling me I was a gold digger, why had he bothered with me then, why had he fought with that man because of what he had said, when he had said more than that. Why had he?..“May, are you all right?” I heard someone asked me and I jerked out of my thoughts to see Nora staring down at me from in front of my desk.Damn, I had been so invested in my thoughts I had forgotten I was at work. Nodding my head, I said. “Oh, yeah. Sure. I’m all right.”She gave me a look, then she asked. “Did you receive my email?”I started to nod, but then I stopped when I realized

    Asher’s POVI watched as Gary’s fingers lingered on May’s forearm, and I felt a sense of discomfort crawled through me. Seeing his touch, an unwelcome connection to her, it pricked at the edges of my nerves. But who was that touch unwelcome to? Me or May?What I was feeling wasn’t jealousy, no, not at all; it was a strange feeling of frustration, and if I was being honest, I didn’t even know what it meant.“Are you trying to get this man too?” I wanted to ask her as I stared at them, but I didn’t, I couldn’t actually. We were in a meeting after all.My jaw clenched involuntarily as I observed the way May stood there with Gary frozen, her eyes flitting between Gary and me.I asked myself if she might need my help, if she feel trapped by his grip! Did she feel my gaze boring into her, questioning her presence here, why she was working here, intertwined with this man?I knew I had run her here when I told her she wasn’t adding anything to the society, by not working at all, so she had ta

    May’s POV“Because you’re my wife, still, May. I haven’t signed the stupid papers, that’s why.”Those words weren’t at all what I expected Asher to utter at all. I knew him to be a cold man that shielded his emotions, but admitting that to me, it confused the heck out of me, adding to all the confusion I had been feeling with him since.I looked at Asher to see if I could read his thoughts, but I couldn’t do it, and that bugged me to the core. What was he thinking about right now? What was he thinking in his head as he sat there looking at me as well.I had to be very careful though, I told myself when the thought of what he had said to that guy at the bar the weekend before came to my mind. “Let me tell you something you don’t understand, you bastard. You see this woman here, she had only allowed you to touch her because she thought I was watching, and she was probably trying to make me feel jealous.”Maybe that was what this was about, and he was just trying to see what I would say,

    Asher’s POVI woke up drenched in sweat from an X-rated dream, and May was the subject of that dream. What the heck was really happening? Why was I having all these thoughts and now, dreams about May?I didn’t want her or anything, so why did I have wet dreams about her? I had never had wet dreams since I was a teenager, and even then, but was never this intense.It was a dream about that day at the club, with her in that room with me, sitting across my lap with our tongues in each other’s throats, only this time, we didn’t just stop at first or second base, we went all the way to the third one.Groaning, I pushed up from the bed and looked down at myself to see that I was at attention, and the thick head was drenched with either precum or sweat.Swallowing the lump that formed in my throat, I adjusted myself in my sweatpants before sitting up and rubbing my hand on my face. As I did that, my mind went to May, and I wondered what she was doing at that moment. Was she sleeping peaceful

    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

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,
