Chapter 113: + - 113+
Caspian’s smile wavered at how drained Asher looked but he didn’t lose his smile, "If you’re going for kingpin chic, then you’re just fine."
Asher’s lips lifted in an empty smile at that, "It’s all the rage now, you know."
Caspian laughed although Asher’s teasing words were lackluster, making a show of pulling him up with all of his strength.
He did manage to get Asher to his feet but in the next moment, he was falling against his hard body with just a single tug.
The jab he was about to make at the expense of Asher’s strength evaporated into thin air when the Alpha pulled him into a hug.
He melted right into it like cotton candy dipped in water, once again struck with the indescribable urge to crawl under his skin.
Asher said nothing, the Alpha holding him tightly before he caught himself and loosened his hold.
Caspian said nothing either, not wanting to ruin the moment but he wished that Asher had held him tight for a moment longer.
He wasn’t ever stigmatized for his size and he knew that his secondary gender had everything to do with that but for the first time he was extremely self-conscious about it.
If he were more sturdy, he wouldn’t have to try this hard to convince Asher that they could find a solution to their issues.
There had to be a way around it, right? If he just ate more, and started the gym, it might help to convince Asher that a little hug wouldn’t break him.
