Chapter 23
ASHER
Nessa's lips are soft with just the right amount of friction to make my me hard. I have her backed up against a wall, away from the transparent glass wall that overlooks the city scape and of course in a blind spot from the camera in my office. Lust tingles my groin as I kiss her passionately while she writhes uncomfortably. Satisfied, I pull away and watch a crimson blush seep into her cheeks as she pants for air.
"I need to go, sir. Someone might walk in." She avoids my eyes coyly.
With a finger, I stroke her jawline. "I want to see you tonight." I stifle her protest with another mind-numbing kiss. "Tonight. The usual place." She concurs with a nod.
Someone clears their throat and we both look up to find Josh lounging by the door with a smug look on his face. His phone is up in his hand like he filmed us. Nessa wriggles from the caging of my arms and shaking like a leaf, she clasps her hands in plea. Josh enjoys a good throaty laugh at her pathetic whine for sympathy. Gritting my teeth, I order her to return to her desk immediately. While she scurries away, I return to sit behind my desk and adjust my tie.
"Asher Rollins, you and your brothers just can't help yourselves, can you?" Josh helps himself to one of the seats in front of my desk. His cocky grin frays my temper but I ignore it.
"I guess we can't help it. Like our father, we find it hard keeping it in our pants. You should be grateful father's no different or you wouldn't even be here." Now, it's my turn to laugh but rather than a throaty one, it's a low, deep laugh that manages to sound mocking and prideful at the same time. Josh grits his teeth.
"I guess we'll have to find out what father thinks of this video."
"Sure, go right ahead and tell him. Let me know when you plan to so I can bring Hayden Garcia along to that meeting." The mention of his former secretary smokes away the cockiness on his face. "You change secretaries faster than anyone else around here. Does father know why?"
Josh dumps an invitation card on my table. "My birthday party is in two weeks. You're not invited and I really don't want you there but father insists I be nice enough to invite you so make sure to come up with a good excuse to decline it." I flip open the card and skim through.
"Hmm. Looks like my schedule will be less busy by then. Can I bring a date? I can't guarantee it wouldn't be Hayden though." Josh wrenches the card away from my grasp and rips it to shreds in front of me.
