Kiara's POV :

I woke up at the sound of my alarm, I turned around going back into Asher's arms. I smiled remembering about last night. I was in fresh silk pajamas which I assume he put me in. I traced his jawline. He looked so calm while sleeping. His facial hair had started growing again. His tattoos were all visible I said looking down at his naked chest tracing lines on it.

This felt so good being here. With him. I smiled kissing him on his cheek and getting up only for him to pull me back down and place me on top of him. "Of course you were awake," I said smiling at him. "When you were touching me in my sleep?" he said smirking at me. "Ash!" I said gently slapping on his cheek. "You know no one in this world would dare slap me?" he said kissing my nose. "I'm special," I smiled. "That you are," he said sitting up with me in his lap.

"We need to go to the meeting," I said putting my hands around his neck. "Hmm.. Mhmm," he whispered rubbing his nose against my neck. I gave him a small kiss before he reluctantly let me go. Showering quickly I got out and he was already working on his laptop. I was about to start changing when I felt him hug me from behind. "Kiara," he whispered breathing down my neck. "Ash," I said already goosebumps rising onto my skin.

"Go shower!" I said getting out of his arms and to the dresser. I heard the bathroom door close and I smiled getting ready when I finally was done Asher was already wearing his shirt while attending a phone call. I walked to him and started buttoning it up fro him as he smiled and kissed my forehead. I pecked his lips and started to walk away only for him to end his call and pull me in for a kiss.

When we finally broke apart after a minute he smiled at me. "You in this suit is turning me on," he groaned giving me a once-over. "I love the color white on you," he smirked. Two days into this and this guy wants to get married. I tiptoed to his ears and whispered, "You should see me in red, if you know what I mean," I smirked walking to wear my heels.

"Kiara, don't start something you don't wanna finish," he growled grabbing his watch. "Shut up and let's go," I said grabbing his hand as we walked about the door. "You know if Blake and Christian see me being like this, I would never hear the end of it," he shuddered. "Trust me, it would be the time of their life," I laughed as we entered the elevator. There were already a few people in there so Asher placed his arms around my waist pulling me in front of him.

I looked at him questioning, "Really?" I said. "What?" he grumbled and I left it at that. As soon as we got into the car we drove off, talking about the strategy and the presentation. In a few minutes, we were at the office. Walking in the receptionist gave Asher a sultry smile as she greeted us making me roll my eyes. "Don't worry baby," Asher said smiling down at me. "It's easy for you to say," I said rolling my eyes again.

As we walked into the elevator Asher whispered to me, "I know you love rolling your eyes, but you do that once more and I am spanking you for everytime you do it," his voice deep and strong. I looked at him unimpressed. He was joking, right? "Sure," I said rolling them again. "You since you like it so much it's going to be three times for each eye roll, baby, keep them coming," he chuckled making me gulp. He was serious, wasn't he?

As soon as we walked into the office he was back to having his scary businessman face. We greeted the investor and walked into the meeting room. Asher and I stood at either side and started the presentation. Thirty minutes later we were done and they were impressed.
"Thank you so much, Mr King and Ms Wilder, for thinking of us for this opportunity," the CEO said shaking our hand. "Having two of the most powerful US-based brands trusting us here is a big thing," he said trying to be polite only for Asher to nod at him. "The pleasure is ours, we hope this partnership only brings success," I smiled at him. We walked out of there and towards his car.

"A little happiness on your face would be nice," I said rolling my eyes. "You did so good up there, I'm proud of you," he said kissing my lips gently making me smile giddy. "You have a meeting right?" I said looking at my watch. "Yes, unfortunately, I'll be done by 5 and we need to go to the ball at 6," he sighed. I pouted looking at my watch. "Hvae time for brunch?" I said looking at the Italian restaurant across the street. "I can push the meeting," he said grabbing my hand as we crossed the road.

"Such a lovely couple, would you like a table outside or inside?" the receptionist asked looking at us. I looked outside it was such a cute setup with flowers and all and the weather was nice too. "She likes it outside," Asher said to her as she led us to our table and I misled at him cheekily. We sat down and ordered quickly and I closed my eyes taking in the sun.

I opened my eyes to see Asher taking a picture of me, a small smile on his face. "What?" I asked. "You look beautiful," he said staring at me intensely. "I know," I smiled. He chuckled. "Let's take pictures together I said moving my chair to sit beside him. We took a bunch of pictures and I misled them as he went to take a call and I looked through them. I kissed his cheek, he kissed mine, us just smiling at the camera, him looking at me while I looked at the camera, and one of him holding my neck while he kissed me.

I bit my lip before deciding to post them on Instagram. 'Me and my London boy' I thought for a second before hitting the button. I looked up to find Asher intently staring at me. He sat down ending the call and raised his eyebrows. As if on cue his phone rang. "Yes, Blake?" he said annoyed making my eyes widen. He cannot have seen it so soon right? "What do you mean?" Asher said more annoyed. He looked at me before I smiled at him making me loose his forehead lines. "Yes," he said sighing. "I can do whatever I want with her, mind your fucking business," he said ending the call. "What did you do baby?" he asked sighing. "I just posted our pictures on Instagram. Should I take them down?" I said looking down at my fingers. Was this too quick? Asher grabbed my hand making me look at him as he swiped through the pictures on his phone and I noticed him smiling a little.

"I'm your London boy?" he asked. I smiled nodding. "Only you could call me a boy and I'd get giddy over it," he said shaking his head. I kissed his cheek trying to make up for it. As soon as the food came we dove in, talking about random things and finally, when were done I took out my card out my purse out of instinct when he glared down at me. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" he asked me slamming his card down.

"You know I can pay for our meal once in a while, right?" I said getting annoyed at his overreaction. His eyes widened and he immediately said, "I didn't mean it like that, angel! Of course you can, you are very much capable of paying for us, but I want to," he insisted. "Sure," I said rolling my eyes. He growled before kissing me. "Don't let your pretty little head overthink, you are so fucking amazing, and if you want to pay be my guest, but five, that's how many times you have rolled your eyes at me today," he said after breaking the kiss.

I pouted at him, only for him to chuckle. "Am I allowed to pay?" he asked. "Fine, but I'm buying our outfits for tonight then," I said glaring at him. "Whatever you want, angel," he said as we got up and the waitress returned the card. "Really? I can shop for you?" I asked excitedly. "Yes, take the car," he said handing me his keys. I kissed his cheek before a black Ferrari arrived and he stepped into it winking at me. I smiled getting into his Lambo and putting on some music. And speeding to a boutique. I walked in and immediately started exploring.

It was almost 5:30 pm when I heard the door open. "Angel?" I heard Asher call for me his voice exhausted. "In here, baby!" I said applying perfume as I grabbed my heels walking out of the dressing room. "Holy fucking shit," he said his eyes widening looking at me. "Why, thank you," I said dropping my heels and walking to him. "Can I kiss you?" he asked still staring at me. I kissed him slowly and it was so soft and sensual.

"You look so fucking ravishing," he said as he twirled me around. "Is it too much?" I asked looking in the mirror. "I'm going to have to beat the shit out of people who look at you today," he sighed kissing my exposed collarbone. "Oh please," I said rolling my eyes. "Five," he smirked before walking in to take a quick shower. I wore the heels and decided to fix my lipstick and sat down on the bed. I was wearing a long beautiful ball gown that had a corset top and a high slit on the right leg. It was a beautiful baby pink color with a sweetheart neckline and mesh off-shoulder sleeves.

When Asher walked in only a towel made me shamelessly stare at him. "Would like me to dree out here?" he chuckled. "I would certainly appreciate it," I said biting my lips. "Don't do that Kiara," he groaned walking in to change. I chuckled and started taking some pictures when he walked out. He came out and the suit fit perfectly. "I like it," he said standing beside me in front of the mirror. "We make one hell of a couple don't we?" he said pulling me into him by my waist. He grabbed his phone and took a picture that's when I saw his lockscreen.

"Is that from this morning?" I asked looking at it. "Yes," he grumbled grabbing my hand and walking out. "Aw Ash," I said kissing his cheek. He just smiled and we walked to the limo outside. "Really?" I said looking at him shocked. "I need to make an entrance baby it's a mafia party," he said giving me a hand as I got in. "You are so dramatic," I said rolling my eyes again. "Keep up, I'm still counting," he smirked. "Asher, you have to be joking!" I said as we drove away.

"You are going to have to be careful Kiara, this party will seem like any other ball but every man and woman in there is involved in something highly illegal. None of them are going to be safe for you, don't leave my side okay?" he said looking at me seriously. "You know I can handle it right?" I asked placing my hand in his. "I know baby, but before I didn't have a weakness, and now I do and people are going to know that as soon as we walk in there," he said caressing my cheek.

"If it makes you feel any better about my safety, I won't leave your side until you trust the person okay?" I said and he kissed me. The kiss soon turned into a heated make-out session and I was on Asher's lap. Asher's hand went through my slit and towards my pussy only when he realized I was wearing any panties. "Kiara, what the fuck!" he said immediately breaking the kiss. I gulped. "I'm sorry they would've have been see-through!" I said when he groaned. "You are so getting punished for this tonight," he growled pulling me into him.

"I'm wearing a sexy red lace corset that you can tear off later," I said whispering in his ears. "Not helping baby," he said as his dick started to stand up and poke me. "Oops," I giggled kissing him again. He moaned into the kiss clearly picturing everything he would be doing to me tonight.

The car came to a stop and we stopped kissing, fixing ourselves. Asher went back to his expressionless face and got out giving me a hand. I gladly took it and walked out to the massive mansion that was lit up beautifully there were guests arriving in all expensive cars. I grabbed Asher's arm tightly and he gave me a reassuring look as we entered the massive ballroom.

"Let's fucking get this over with," Asher grumbled.
