All Chapters of Irresistible Temptations : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"What's wrong? You seem tense..." He was studying my face but I held my fake smile and pushed off of him."It's a tense evening. I don't like being in front of all these people." Which wasn't a lie. I hated when all eyes were on me, even if it were just for a split second.I moved away from him and found my spot at the table. I couldn't help but notice that Asher looked troubled as he took his own spot, looking at me with confusion. He turned his gaze toward Harper and Tate as they made their grand entrance and I turned my attention to them as well.We made it through dinner and now it was time to party, and damn did I need this.Before Asher could come near me, I jumped up from my spot at the table and stormed toward the bar where I ordered two shots and sucked them down like water."More, please." I stared at the hired bartender who was grinning at me. He was cute too.He poured me two more shots when he looked just over my shoulder. "For you sir?"I didn't have to look to know that

My heart pounded against my chest. I wanted to stay with him, yet another part of me scolded my current state of mind.This was Asher Creed we're talking about here.He could say he's changed all he wanted, but I still needed him to show me proof and jumping into bed with him wasn't how I should go about this. Not yet anyways."Okay..." I breathed, my mind screaming at me but my body was doing the talking right now.He grinned down at me before he lowered his lips to mine once again. Gah, he tasted so good."Let's go." He grabbed my hand but I allowed my mind to take over just for a moment."We can't go right now! We're in the wedding party! People will get suspicious if we go missing."He stopped and stared at me. "We aren't kids anymore, Stanford. We don't have to hide our attraction to one another anymore. I don't care if people know. Let them." Then he stepped so close to me I could feel his breath on my neck. "If you don't come now I'm bound to take you right here and right now a

"Oh, but that blonde hooker is?"Asher sighed. "Don't call her that. You should leave, Abby."Ah-ha! So it was Abby he was talking to. What the fuck was going on here?!"I should leave?! No. You should leave...with me. Please. Let's go home!""There is no home for us!! We're through!!" Asher's voice was loud now and he sounded pissed. "I don't know why my sister invited you but I certainly don't want you here.""You're an asshole." Her voice was filled with emotion and then I heard heels click across the floor as they got quieter the farther away she walked.I took a deep breath and went into the kitchen."Did you forget my coffee?" I tried to sound as normal as possible.When I turned to look at Asher, he studied me as if he was waiting for something. He pushed away from the counter and stepped up next to me at the coffee pot."Sorry. I got distracted," he finally mumbled."So, Abby huh?" "There it is," he sighed out, "You did hear then..."I turned toward him and he studied my face

Apparently, we missed Harper and Tate's departure this morning as they left for their honeymoon. Which meant we all had one more night at the cabin before we had to check out the next morning. A few people had already left because they lived far away and had to get back to work, but I was glad I wasn't going anywhere just yet.Then my mind went someplace dark and I looked over at Asher who sat next to me on the couch. His feet were up on the coffee table as the fireplace crackled beside us. I was laying long ways on the couch with my legs draped over his lap and a glass of wine in my hands.I let the dark thoughts enter my mind and I felt nauseous and anxious. I had one more uninterrupted night with Asher and then what? I lived in Seattle. He lived in San Clemente. Two states away from me! How did this work now? He couldn't give up skateboarding and I couldn't give up my job. I love it too much and I busted my ass to get that job, but as I looked at Asher, I had a feeling that if he

I wondered when he had gotten that done because those two letters had started to fade.He didn't move or say a word as I traveled down to his jeans. I unbuttoned them and tugged at the zipper before I hooked my thumbs into the top and slowly pushed them down. His gaze held mine as his mouth slightly opened. I wanted to scream with excitement at how calm Asher was as I undressed him. I was in complete control and I felt like a boss.Asher lifted his feet out of his jeans as I stood back and appreciated the man standing gloriously naked in front of me. My mouth watered at the sight of him and I wanted to reach out and touch him, but I didn't.Our gazes locked on each other as I slowly undressed right in front of him. I was careful to go slow and sultry to tease him. He ran his perfect teeth over his bottom lip as his eyes left mine and trailed over my body. I heard him let out a small growl and I knew he enjoyed the view of my naked body just as much as I enjoyed his.The room filled wi
