A Deal With The Bad Boy

Chapter Six

--------

Isabella shrieked, turning around.

But in turning, she exposed herself even more.

Her bare back faced him, looking smooth and glistening under the shower spray. Droplets ran down the slope of her spine like silver trails, disappearing into the dip of her waist before sliding lower over the perfect, round curve of her àss.

Asher’s stormy gray eyes widened with his dark lashes blinking twice because his brain was still processing what he was seeing and who was under the shower naked, he couldn't stop staring because her backside that looked too good and even too dangerous for him to even be staring at.

“Holy fûçk"Asher muttered, biting down hard on the silver ring in his lip with his jaw clenched.

He’d seen hundreds of girls naked before but Isabella looked better a billion times.

Isabella lifted her arms, hugging herself and the movement made her àss move a little and that made Asher's mouth open with another curse leaving his lips, still staring at her skin.

Her wet hair plastered against her glowing skin, Droplets slid over the dimples at the base of her spine, down the soft curves he couldn’t stop staring at.

For the first time in his life, Asher couldn't speak at the sight of a girl naked, he just stared and Isabella turned her head around around, looking over her shoulder to glare at him with the strands of her hair, sticking to her face.

“Don’t. Look. At. Me.”

Asher blinked, swallowing hard then chuckled, dragging his tongue across his pierced lip before leaning lazily against the wall, naked with his gray eyes roaming shamelessly down her trembling, glistening body.

“Princess, You can't stand in front of me, bûtt-naked and tell me not to look when you’re the one standing here, naked, dripping wet under my shower"He murmured in arrogance with his gaze lingering more on her round äss and the droplets running down her skin that made her look even more fūckîñg hot and he bit his lip again, groaning under his breath.

Isabella’s frown deepened at his words. She wished the ground would just split open to swallow her whole and hide her nakedness from him.

She tried to make herself smaller with her arms pressing tighter around her body and she could feel his stare, burning into her bare skin like fire and every droplet that slid down her thighs felt like his eyes were following it.

His eyes trailing over every inch of her body felt like a physical touch and it made her shiver more under his hot stare.

“C-c-can you please stop staring a-and just p-pass me… something to wear? I'll give it back when I get to m-my dorm…”Isabella squeaked out, stammering with cheeks burning more hot and she expected a response from him but she heard nothing.

For a second, she thought he'd left but she didn't dare turn around to check and she was about to call out his name when she heard footsteps and felt him coming closer towards her.

Her shivering worsened out of nervousness and her heart starting pounding hard against her chest then she felt cold fingers brushing against the small of her naked back, making her gasp.

They trailed slowly upward, tracing along her wet spine and the icy contrast against her overheated skin made her shiver again, leaving a trail of goosebumps exploding across her skin.

Asher's fingers brushed higher, pushing the wet strands of hair that was clinging to her back and neck aside, baring her skin to him completely and his knuckles grazed the nape of her neck which made her skin tingle under his breath with her body shuddering and her thighs pressing together helplessly.

She had no idea what he was doing and why the hell she was tongue-tied and reacting to his touch in that manner.

Her wide eyes darted down in panic only to see his strong arms reaching forward on either side of her with his chest hovered so close she could feel the heat of his body at her back and his muscles flexing as he stretched to turn off the shower with his veins standing out against his tattooed arms but then his elbow brushed the side of her bréäst.

The contact was accidental but it sent lightning tearing through her, she gasped loudly with her body jolting forward with her lips parting with a sound she didn’t even recognize as her own with her nîpplës hardening instantly and the cold air and the ghost of his touch making her ache in places she didn’t dare name.

“Here it is"Asher whispered, his hot breath fanning against the curve of her neck, making goosebumps erupt everywhere. His lips were so close, she swore she could feel them brush her wet skin with each word.

Her hand shook as she reached behind her, brushing against his fingers when he pressed the shirt into her palm.

The touch was brief but electric and sparks shot down her arm, settling deep in her stomach, making her gasp again and she clutched the shirt to her chest instantly with her heart pounding and her skin tingling from where his fingers had touched her.

“Step back and T-turn around… p-please… I-I want to change…”

She heard him chuckle from behind her and she gulped.

“Turn around? Why would I do that when the view is the best I've ever had"Asher responded with his smirk obvious in his tone and her eyes widened.

“P-please…"

“Say it again”He whispered with his lips almost touching her neck.

"W-what?”

"Say please, princess… beg me to turn around. I like it when girls beg"Asher answered, sounding çocky and commanding as his smirk widened.

Isabella fought the urge to roll her eyes.

“Please…"She forced out the words and he finally exhaled with a laugh, dragging a hand through his wet hair before slowly turning his back to her.

"Done. Be fast about it"

Isabella squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment then she reached for the shirt he had given to her. It was a black hoodie that smelled faintly of him, leather and smoke and something maddeningly masculine.

She slipped it on in a rush with the fabric swallowing her small frame with the hem stopping before her knees and the sleeves were hanging long past her wrists.

“Done yet, princess?”

Her head snapped up and her eyes went to his back then it trailed down and she breathed out in relief when she saw that he was no longer naked but what she saw between his legs had traumatized her and refused to leave her head.

She’d seen the glint of silver at the tip of him earlier which was the main reason she'd gasped.

A piercing.

She had never ever in her entire life seen anything like that before, not in real life, not even online. The sight of it appearing back in her mind made her cheeks burn hotter because it was too much for her innocent mind to handle.

Why would anyone even pierce that? Doesn’t it hurt? Isabella thought frantically, swallowing hard.

"I-I'm done. Thank you. I'll return this whenever I'm free"Isadora said and without waiting for him to turn back around, she grabbed her things and rushed out immediately, bumping on a hard chest on her way out.

She looked up and her eyes widened when she saw that it was her crush Leo.

Her mouth opened and closed back like a dumb i***t with her heart beating fast as usual whenever she sees him and without uttering a word, she rushed past him in embarrassment.

Meanwhile Asher was surprised to see that Isabella had disappeared when he turned around and his lips unknowingly curved into a smile but then it disappeared the moment Liam strolled in with a few other guys and Damon behind them.

Liam’s smug grin spread the second his eyes landed on Asher and walked up to him.

“You know, you just proved what I’ve always said. You’re nothing but a fûking dog eating what I vomited, You fûking that nerd now, huh? The same nerd everyone laughs at?”

Asher’s jaw tightened with his gray eyes darkening and Damon noticed instantly, stepping closer to Asher.

“Ash, don’t, He's trying to get under your skin. Don't let him win"Damon whispered quickly to Asher but Liam leaned in closer with a wide smirk.

“What’s it like? Having to settle for a pathetic loser like her? Bet she was stuttering and begging like a desperate virgin. Nerdy little bîtçh probably spread her legs the second you smiled at her. Fûçk, you really are a mutt, picking up trash nobody wants.”He taunted and Asher’s fists flexed at his sides with his breathing getting harsher now and Damon’s grip tightened on his arm to calm him down because everyone knows Asher has severe anger issues and it was difficult for him to control it.

“Walk away, Ash" Damon muttered. “He’s not worth it....”

“Or maybe you just like easy girls. Girls who’d do anything just to have y finally notice and fûçk them like the animal that you are. You’re pathetic, Asher. Just like her.”

Asher’s eyes darkened at the last insult and his fist shot out faster than anyone could stop him with his rings slamming into Liam’s face with a brutal crunch.

Blood spurted instantly with Liam’s head jerking back as he staggered with a grunt of pain.

“ASHER!”Damon shouted but Asher was already grabbing Liam by the collar, driving another punch into his nose then another into his jaw.

The guys around them rushed forward, trying to get him off but Asher's rage was unstoppable. Years of buried anger for Liam poured out and his fists kept slamming against Liam's face over and over again and blood was streaming from his nose and mouth.

“You think you can talk shît about her like that?! About me?!!!!"Asher roared, punching and punching again.

"Say that shît again!"

Blood covered Liam’s face, dripping onto the floor but Asher didn’t stop and he didn’t want to stop because every bitter word Liam had ever thrown at him in the past and the words he said about Isabella came flooding back, fueling his rage more.

“Asher, stop! You’re gonna kill him! Enough!” Damon yelled again, shoving at his shoulder but Asher couldn’t hear him because he was blinded by rage with blood dripping from his fists.

“ASHER!”

Their coach stormed in with his veins standing out in his neck.

“GET OFF HIM! RIGHT NOW!”

The boys scrambled to pull Asher back while the coach shoved himself between them, forcing him off Liam with sheer strength and they managed to pull Liam who had collapsed on the floor with his face bloodied and swollen.

The coach turned on Asher, breathing hard.

“I warned you, Asher. Just days ago, I sat you down and told you, your grades are slipping, your attitude and your temper is out of control. I told you to fix it and what did you you do?”He jabbed a finger toward Liam’s bloodied body.

“This. You act like an animal and a street thug in my locker room.”

Asher’s chest rose and fell like a caged beast with blood dripping from his rings and Damon was holding him so tight with a worried look on his face.

“You think wearing the captain’s band gives you the right to lose control? To humiliate this team? Being captain isn’t about fighting, it’s about leading and you’ve shown me you can’t control yourself for a damn second!"

There was silence in the room.

“As of this moment, you’re stripped of your captaincy, You are suspended from the team until further notice. You will not practice. You will not play and until your grades are where they should be, until you prove you deserve that jersey, you will never set foot here again, Do you understand me?”
