Ashley POV
He walked me in carrying his arms, I begged Joe to carry me, hell I begged all my lovers to carry me, some did and some said I was too big.
He carried me as if the weight not only didn’t bother him but most of my ex lovers would put me down after five to ten minutes, he held me for longer. He knew my name, but he didn’t know the pain I hid. Cheated on, not called back, them picking my sister and the last one made my heart hurt as it really did happen, accepting money to leave me alone. I pulled in closer to Jake’s jacket smelling his cologne, Tom Ford Tabasco Vanilla, spicy yet sweet on his collar. I needed him tonight. He walked over to buttons, pushing the penthouse button.
“My buddy Jackson Phatt rents this out to me, he owns a few Penthouses in Vancouver.” I looked down, I know I did come from money but Jackson Phatt was well known in this town, Avery was envious of the fact I became good friends with his wife Claire and son Mason. Who was Autistic and I worked with him all the time.
“I know Jackson, he’s a nice man, I work with his son Mason with my work.” I lit up a little.
“Yeah I train him.” I heard him announce.
Oh that trainer, Avery had brought up the trainer last time I was home but than moved on to my arm candy, Joe.
“So how does a trainer like you, not only gets a great apartment but can afford it?” He looked a little wounded.
“I’m sorry I meant how did you get this place?” I asked.
He shifted my weight again.
“Um your sister kicked me out before or at least I moved out when your sister was in bed with your ex-boyfriend.” He looked like he was going to tear up again. I looked into his eyes, I think I was falling for him, it was too soon, but I wanted him, all to myself. I placed my hands on his face and pulled him close to my lips, he leaned in and kissed back. I felt his warm tongue, dance with mine, the rush, the newness, the weightless all of it was coming to my head. All I heard next was “Penthouse”
He carried me out as he kissed my chest, I looked to the two doors on opposite sides of the hallway, he went to the right. As I did, I saw Claire coming out of her apartment, she looked like she just woken up. She waved and went back inside.
I felt Jake grab his keys and open the door, he walked in with me in his arms, he walked me in and place me on his kitchen counter. “Ok you stay there, I promised you a drink so I’m sure I have a white claw somewhere here.” I watched as he dug through his freezer and tried to impress me with his organization skills in the kitchen. Until I heard “ah ha! Got it!” Pulling out two strawberry and lime white claw’s.
I normally save these for nights I don’t bring home girls but I don’t have any chocolate pudding or ice cream.” I laughed.
“So no Ben and Jerry’s?” I asked.
“Umm” he knit his brow into a cute little furrow on his face. I laughed harder this time.
“Bear, you’re cute.” I said without thinking about it.
I looked up as if the air got sucked out of the room.
“Can I be your bear?” He placed his hand on my knee, he slowly pushed it up as I opened up my legs to him. “If you can be my boo boo?”
“I’ll be what you want me to be.” I said on a whisper.
“Ashley?” He asked.
“Yeah?” I answered back.
“I’m not letting you go, you’re mine.” He spoke.
“Agreed, I don’t want another man, not now, not ever.” I looked at him and attacked his lips. f**k the drinks, it’s happening right now. He unzipped my dress as he did I ripped open his shirt, and made fast work on his belt.
We pushed each other into the bedroom fighting each other clothes off. Until we were standing there, completely n***d.
“Wow!” He breathed.
“What? I inquired.
“You’re beautiful.”
I stepped into his arms as he pulled me in and pulled his body down onto mine, feeling every inch of him, I breathed out his name, pulling him closer and closer to me.
“Oh Boo I forgot, just so you don’t sleep with me for the sake of sleeping with me, but I’m Jackson’s brother.” I gasped as feel him hit deep in my core.
“So what? A millionaire?” I challenged.
“No, a billionaire.” He watched as I came undone in his arms, panting and screaming his name.
A f*****g what?
