“Behave.”He swept me into his arms and laid me on the bed before joining me.He cupped my cheek.“Rest.”He pulled the covers over us.

“Don’t you want me to take care of this?”I ran my fingers over his erection.

“No.I’m always hard for you.Tonight is for us to just be.”He gave me a kiss and nudged me to turn over.I complied.

My back was against his chest, his arm over my waist, and the other above my head.Cherished.That was the feeling that went through me.But I couldn’t resist wiggling against his cock.

“Behave, woman.”

I grinned.This is where I wanted to be in Asher’s arms and in his bed.

Chapter Forty-Five

Asher

It was Friday, again.We’d both worked hard this week, finishing up the international bridge and making the last tweaks on the various departmental apps.

It was also technically Emma’s last day.When she told me this morning that she was going to be late today, I was okay with it.But when I asked why, she wouldn’t tell me.

I wasn’t happy with her keeping secrets, but I let it go for now.Things between us were going smoothly, and I was ready to take our relationship to the next level.I was nervous about it mainly because I wasn’t sure how Emma felt.

Yes, she seemed happy, and we were well matched in and out of bed.While I didn’t have the best track record when it came to relationships, I really felt it was different with Emma.

Picking up the phone, I got Miles and John on a call.John had offered Emma a job if she wanted it; I was going to make sure that offer was still on the table.I was just hanging up when the object of my thoughts breezed into the office.

“I’m free.”She twirled around with her arms in the air.

“What do you mean?”Was she happy our working together was coming to an end?My heart dropped to my toes.

“I quit Tri-O-Tech.”

My mouth dropped open.“That’s what you were doing?”

“Yes.After finding out Greg and Lee were trying to ruin my career, and with what I realized was the toxic environment at Tri-O-Tech, I decided I’d had enough.”

“But your promotion?”

“Not important.I decided a while back it wasn’t worth it, and I was going to decline.”

“You’re not upset you don’t have a job?”This played right into my hands in convincing her to stay.

“No.I feel as if a weight has lifted.”

“Good.Then I hope this will make you even happier?”

“What?”

“I want you to come to work with me here at Fantasies, Inc.”I held my breath.

Her eyes grew wide.“Here?Permanently?”

“Yep.”Standing, I encircled her waist and held her close.“John is on board.Remember the job offer?It’s still on the table.”

“I...”Tears filled her eyes.

“Hey…”

“I’m so overwhelmed.Asher, I can’t believe you did this for me.Won’t Ben and the others be upset?”
