“Asher James Mayson, you watch your mouth. Don’t talk to my guest like that,” Miss Alice scolds him.

“Well, I really like your grandma and she likes Beast, so if you just tell me the days you’re gonna come, I’ll make sure not to show up then.”

“It’s just a beer,” he says, smiling. “You’re kind of a jerk,” I tell him. It’s something he probably hears all the time. “I can be, but it’s still just a beer, November.”

I need to go; go before I throw myself at him and ask him to help me give Miss Alice great grandbabies.

The one serious relationship I had in college went bad after my mom slept with him.

sent him a text telling him that I stopped by to check on him but saw for myself that he was feeling much better. He called a million times after that and sent flowers, cards, and texts, but I didn’t care. I ignored all of it. I cut him out of my life, mailed him back everything that I had of his—including the ring—along with a note telling him to stop calling or I would press charges for stalking. After that, I never heard from him again.

Heck no! I walked in and he has a girl practically sitting on his lap, but I can’t even introduce myself to Nick.

“Really, you big jerk. I’m shocked that you noticed because you had big-boobed Barbie basically sitting on your lap when I walked in.”

“Shit, when do you go on? I’m so gonna be there,” Nico says with a goofy smile on his face. Then I realize what I just said.

“I’ve been waiting all night for you to get here and you’re going to ditch me?” “You can’t ditch someone you’re not with,”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stand there while you got rid of big-boobed Barbie.” “You could have taken me with you when you went.” “I’ll try to remember that next time,” I say, shaking my head.

I start to notice there are a lot of women gathering around us. Whenever I try to make eye contact with them, they give me a dirty look.

“Hi, Asher,” she purrs, placing herself between me and him while pressing her boobs into his chest.

Yeah, he’s hot but it’s clear that he’s a player. Not only that, but I would say we don’t fit at all.

But now I’m done. Date or not, having women come up and rub themselves all over him with looks that say they know exactly what to expect if he takes one of them home is too much. I know I need to bounce as in B-O-U-N-C-E on out of here.

“You’re leaving to walk your dog?” Cash asks in a tone that says he doesn’t believe me. But I don’t care anymore. I just need to leave quickly.

What does he really expect? He brought me to a place where every five minutes, he’s getting hit on. It was totally rude!

I’ve lived with a woman who had to be the center of attention and I refuse to date someone who has the same problem.

I’m even more pissed off that most of the people he introduced me to, are women that he has slept with. I mean, really.

you can tell all the chicks that you’re sleeping with, or have slept with, to come by and we’ll all hang out. They seemed so excited to meet me. How does that sound to you?”

“No, we’re not doing anything. I’m getting in my car and going home to walk my dog,” I say, pointing at myself. “By myself. You can do whatever it is that you do.”

Why the hell am I sitting in his car? Oh yeah, I remember; he picked me up and carried me—kicking and screaming—over his shoulder to his jeep.

The night that I was attacked, I had been walking to my apartment from the subway. I passed the alley next to my building and a guy grabbed me from behind, covered my mouth then dragged me down into the shadows next to a dumpster. That’s where he proceeded to beat me. I fought as much as I could and was feeling dizzy by the time he stood over me, grabbing my head. I knew he was going to bash my head into the concrete so I closed my eyes and started to pray. Then, he was gone and I could vaguely see Beast attacking him.

“Beast is fine but we need to call the police. Someone broke into the house and used something red to write on the walls. Somehow, Beast got it on him before they locked him upstairs.”
“You gonna feed Beast or do you want to stand there and stare at me some more?” he asks.

I realized yesterday that I needed to stake my claim before some stupid fuck got to you. That’s why I did what you called ‘kidnapping.’ I like to call that ‘securing my future.’ We’re going to see where this goes, November, and while we’re doing that, it’s not going to be casual.”

Then, James and I were out one night and we saw Cash with this girl. Let me tell you…after that, I was glad they never brought anyone around if that was what they would bring home.” “I was lucky enough to meet some of those women first hand last night when Asher took me to the bar.” “He didn’t?” His mom looks over at Asher with narrow eyes. “He totally did.” I smile and look over at Asher who looks like he’s ready to strangle me. “Asher James Mayson, I thought I taught you better than that?”

“The girls from the bar that were all gathered around the pool table waiting to be chosen like a bad episode of the bachelor,”
Then he slams into me. I scream his name and his forehead drops to my chest and he stills his movements.
I have a motorcycle. How flipping awesome is that?
“Where are you sleeping, baby?” he asks against my mouth. “With you,” I whisper, feeling powerless against him. “That’s right. Always with me.”
“I love you too, baby. Jesus, I’ve loved you since I saw your beautiful face standing at the bar in your dad’s club. I knew then that you were it for me.”
Emma, who is staring up at this guy, completely fascinated by him. I don’t blame her. He is very good-looking. But he also has a vibe about him that seems almost dangerous.
“People are here.” I moan. “Then you better be quiet, baby,” he whispers into my ear,
He totally tricked me into moving in.
“Kids. I told you, I’m going slowly for you. But you’re going to be my wife, and as soon as we sign the marriage license, I’m working on getting you knocked up.”
“What shit?” I asked before he had a chance to put me in an Asher fog,
“I’ve wanted to see you wearing nothing but my ring since I bought it for you. Knowing that, like the ring I put on your finger, I’m the only one. The only one who will ever see you in nothing but my ring. The only one who will wake up to your beautiful face every day for the rest of my life. The only one who will make love to you. The only one who will make babies with you.” I watched his eyes get wet. “I can’t tell you how happy I am that you are carrying my child.”
“I’m going to waddle and you’re going to walk around looking like that?” My hand moves up and down, indicating everything that is him.
“When I heard that gun go off outside, I thought that my life had ended. I thought I was never going to see your face again, or be able to see our daughter take her first breath. And I knew I wouldn’t be able to survive without you here with me. I would take my life in order to go wherever you were.”
