to me." Her hand cups my cheek. "No one has ever wanted me that bad."
I kiss her lips softly. At this moment, nothing would stop me from kissing her. The fear seeps into my bones that there will come a time when she won’t want me. There will be a time when the rest of my baggage comes to light, and just knowing she won’t want me anymore is enough to crush my soul. But we have this, and this is our time. Everything from the outside is unimportant right now. For once in my fucking life, I’m going to do something for me. I’m selfish enough to know that what I’m taking will never be mine, but for today, for tonight, for next week, I’m going to pretend I’m just a man who wants a woman.
"Asher," she whispers.
"Yeah, baby?" I answer, and she smiles shyly.
"I like that you call me that," she admits, and I smile as she walks out of my arms.
I watch her walk to the stage, climbing on it and grabbing my phone. I watch her walk to the back as she goes into the office.
My whole body is on edge, thinking about what she is doing. Wondering if I pushed her too far and worried that she would look at me differently. She comes out with her purse in her hand, and the clicking of her cowboy boots on the floor echoes in the empty bar. She holds out her hand to me. "Take me home," she says, putting her hand in mine.
I bring our hands up to my mouth and kiss her fingers. I hold her hand the whole time she turns off the rest of the lights. We don’t say anything as she locks the door, and I walk to the truck. I open the door for her and help her in, then walk to my side. She holds my hand while I drive to her house.
I put the truck in park and look over at her. She is looking down at her hands in her lap. "Talk to me," I say.
Her hand reaches for the handle of the truck, and she opens it. I follow her out, and when we get to her front door, she unlocks it and walks in. She waits for me to enter before closing the door behind her. "I didn’t want to do this outside," she says, “because I know the cameras are watching."
I’m so mesmerized by her that I didn’t even think about the cameras outside. The only thing I could think about was her and what was going through her mind. "I didn’t even think of that," I say honestly, and she comes to me. My back is against the door, and the only light is coming from the small side table lamp in the living room.
Her hand comes up to touch my chest, the palm of her hand flat against my chest. She can feel my heart pounding. "I want it," she says softly. "Everything you said." Her hand moves from my chest to my shoulder. "All the things you said you wanted to do to me." She swallows. "I want to do them. I want to kiss you until you snap and take me." She steps in just a touch more, and our chests are almost touching. "I want you to take me to bed." Her nose nuzzles my neck, and then she kisses me softly. My whole body melts under her touch.
"I want to worship you," I finally say, my voice trembling. "I want to worship every part of you."
I look into her eyes as she takes the step to close the distance between us. Two words is all it takes for me to finally snap. "I’m yours."

I take the biggest leap of my life, looking into his brown eyes. "I’m yours," I say. "Make me yours." He growls, bending his knees, his hands go to my hips. In a blink of an eye, my back is against the cold door, and his mouth is on mine. When his tongue meets mine, I think I actually sigh. My hands go to his hips while he attacks my mouth. There is no mistaking this kiss; it’s all I want and need. I’ve never been kissed like this. In all my life, I’ve never imagined that a kiss could be like this. That one kiss could rock your whole world and make you lose control.
