Unlawful Affair With Asher Williams

Adelie POV

I toss on the bed for the umpteenth time and finally lay on my back as I stare up at the ceiling. It has been three hours since I got home, and it's midnight already, but I still can't bring myself to get some sleep.

I sigh briefly, sitting up on the bed and reaching out for my phone that's just lying on the bedside table. Raymond has called me nonstop, but I couldn't bring myself to answer his call after what I did to him back at the restaurant. At this point, I'm beginning to think that I can't handle it having a boyfriend. If I can't do this, maybe I should just break up with him and not give him high hope.

My phone suddenly beeps, and as I unlock it, a message pops on the screen. 'Can you please answer my call, momma? I'm worried about you and can't even sleep' reading the message from Raymond, I sigh deeply and turn the screen off, tossing it on the bed afterward. Maybe making him think that I'm already asleep won't be a problem.

I drag myself from the bed and walk over to the window side, where I check the parking lot for his car, and as he said earlier, he's still not back from wherever he went to. I know I'm being foolish right now, I'm not sure whether I'm worried about his safety, or just scared of sleeping alone, but I can't sleep, no matter how much I try to.

Dragging my feet back to the bed, I pick up my phone and find myself dialing his number, even if I don't want to. He picks up on the first ring.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"You can't sleep alone, I guess?" His voice sounds through the phone more like a mock as soon as he answers the call, and I bite my teeth. I hate to admit it, but I really am scared of sleeping alone.

"I'm scared..." My voice is so low that I can barely hear myself, but he heard me anyway.

"Why are you scared, sister?" He emphasizes his last word, and I know that he's teasing me right now.

"I'm going to spend the night with Raymond," I don't know what pushed me to say that to him, but I know that I just need to say something that would bring him here at once.

Silence assumes the other end, and I can feel the intensity from there even though I'm not there with him.

"I'll be back shortly," His deep voice sounds through the phone, and the call drops dead afterward. My heart beats rapidly against my chest as I slowly bring down the phone from my ear, regretting my action. Why the hell do I even want him here? Why did I do that?

Taking a deep breath, I drop my phone on the bed and drag myself into the bathroom afterward to have my bath.

I only spent thirty minutes in the bathroom before I walk back into my room to sleep, but I stop on my track as soon as I walk in, only to find Asher sitting on my bed.

"You look shocked to see me. Didn't you call me here?" He raises his gaze to look at me, but his expression changes as soon as he sees me standing with just a towel around my chest. With his eyes gazing hungrily at me like they'll devour me soon, I feel my knees weaken, and my feet suddenly feel numb. I gulp down nothing nervously.

"Wh... Wha... What are you doing here?" I stutter nervously, even though I know that the question is ridiculous, or stupid rather, considering that I was the one that called him here. I should get a knock on the head for being so stupid. "You called me to come," He finally stands up to his feet, and my heart skips like a million times as I step back fearfully.

"Have you forgotten, pretty?" The corner of his lips tucks up in a smirk as he tucks his hands in his pockets while staring at me hungrily.

"You even threaten me that you would spend the night with your boyfriend if I don't come home at once. Is that how much you missed me or were you trying to make me jealous?" His voice sounds domineering, yet sexy and seductive. I feel the area between my legs twitch excitedly as it contracts tightly. If I'm correct, then I think this is what they call being horny. This is wrong, how the hell can I get horny around my brother? This is really crazy.

"Who... Who... Who said that it was a threat? I was... Serious..." I try not to stutter, but not with those eyes staring at me.

"You look pretty in that, don't you think? How would it feel like to have that towel on the floor, and have yourself pinned to the wall by me, huh?" He bites his bottom lip as he starts moving toward me, and I step back until my back is pressed hard against the wall like I want to disappear into it.

"Do... don't come close to me..." I say to him threateningly, my body trembling fearfully, and he stops on his track.

"Why? Didn't you call me home for this, huh?" He finally stops in front of me, placing his hand on my thigh, and my heart thumps heavily against my ribcage.

"Ge... get away from me, Asher..." I stutter and swallow hard.

"Why? Don't you want me anymore, huh?" He whispers as his hand crawls its way up my thigh, and I shudder under his touch. His hand is already making its way to my forbidden area, and I don't even have a pantie on, and neither can I bring myself to stop him.

"You should get some sleep and stop overthinking yourself, Adelie. You're blocking my way to the bathroom. I can't sleep like this, you know? I'm a bit smelly," He whispers and chuckles softly before he pulls away from me. "Hmm," I quickly nod my head and scurry away from him. I watch as he pulls the bathroom door open, and walks in, slamming it close behind him, and I flinch. Wait! Don't tell me he's going to spend the night here with me. Hell no! I quickly change into my robe and sit on the bed, waiting for him to come out so I'll ask him to go to his room.

It took him forever before he finally walks back into my room with a towel hanging dangerously around his waist. He has the most perfectly built abs that I have ever seen, and with his body dripping wet and his hair clinging to his face, I think he looks cute.

"Quit the dirty thought and go to sleep, sweetheart," He breaks into my thoughts, and I bite my inner lip embarrassingly. Turns out that he caught me drooling at him.

"Are you not going to your room?" I finally muster courage and ask him.

"No," He replies to me bluntly, and continues after he grabs one of the robes in my closet, and wears it, "Do you want me to let you sleep alone?" He turns to look at me with a questioning look on his face. "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa. You can sleep on the bed alone," He further says to me, and I heave a sigh of relief...
