Chapter 131 – Bailey
I was torn, I had time alone with Asher… something I had been craving since the moment Morgan had arrived, despite the fact she had been here less than a day… and then I had work. I knew in truth, I should be in work. That was where I was expected to be, and now I knew that Morgan was going to be okay, I should head into work. It would be so unprofessional of me not to.
Morgan was safe with Marc, and there was no denying she was happy. Her face had more than shown that as she had left. But Asher was here with me. We were alone. Finally. He was almost begging me to spend time with him. I am not sure if I had
almost admitted to him, that I was falling for him too… But, I am so torn…
He held his hand out to me, his big green eyes focused on mine, that affectionate look making butterflies appear in my belly all over again. How did he do that?! “Come on then, beautiful, if you are going to work, at least let me walk you.” He smiled.
I sighed. He had obviously realized I wasn’t sure what to do, and had chosen not to pressure me. I don’t think I could have found a more patient and understanding guy if I tried. In all honesty, I would love nothing more than to spend the day with Asher. I really would. But, I knew that was not the decent thing to do, not when I was needed in school.
“I’m sorry.” I muttered, feeling deflated at the thought of going into work. Akira had already stormed off into the nether reaches of my mind in a mood. I don’t think she was pleased with me right now. She had wanted her day with him too. I think it was

safe to say she was becoming as attached to Zion as I was Asher…
“Hey, why are you saying sorry for?” Asher softly kissed my head as we left his office. “That was what we employed you for, wasn’t it? Because you are so dedicated to your work. I do understand, Bailey.”
He might be sounding supportive right now, but I fear there was disappointment within his voice. Of that I am almost certain. I hate the thought of disappointing him. I looked across at him, ready to apologize again, but could see his eyes were glazed over, telling me he was likely mind linking somebody within the pack, so I did not disturb him. I knew he was the pack Beta, so he had a lot of responsibilities, and I did not want to be disturbing him. And in truth, I didn’t know what to say to him. Other than apologizing, was there much more to say? I was worried he was disappointed I had turned him down. What if he saw it as me not wanting him? In truth, I wanted him more than he could realize…
I heard him chuckle, making me glance up at him, and he was smiling. I was intrigued now what had suddenly brightened his mood, before I felt his hand tighten around mine. “So, what do you fancy doing today?” he questioned.
I looked at him in confusion now. “I am meant to be working.” I reminded him. “I thought we were on our way there now?”
“Well, we have Marc to thank for that, actually.” He chuckled again. “He just mindlinked. He said he mindlinked his Mum as he left with Morgan, to let her know that you were quite shook up after seeing your sister collapse, so he advised taking it easy for the rest of the day. And his Mum agreed. Apparently she

was quite concerned about you and Morgan. Alli said she had sorted a supply teacher anyway when she heard your sister had collapsed, so you were covered. Told you to take the day to relax, recover, and she would see you tomorrow. Said not to worry.”
I think I may love Marc right about now. He was not only the fated mate of my little sister, and seemed to already worship her, and want to make her happy, but he had appeared to try to clear the path for Asher and I to spend some time alone…
“Did Marc do that so we could be together?” I asked him, beginning to wonder if, after seeing us in the forest, he had put two and two together, and worked out everything that was going on. Was this his way of saying he was okay with it all?
“I have my suspicions.” Asher nodded. “But, I won’t complain, it means we can have time together, assuming that is what you want. You may want to relax alone. Which, obviously, is fine if you do. If so, please feel free to tell me to p** off.” He looked at me concerned.
“Of course it is what I want!” I said, rolling my eyes at him, for even thinking otherwise. “Spending time with you, I mean.” | added just to clarify.
I looked across at Asher who had a big grin on his face. “So, as I was saying, beautiful, what do you fancy doing today?” his gaze was intense as he questioned me, but I knew what I fancied doing… I just don’t know if I had the courage to say. A day in bed with him would be heavenly… the day in bed which was disturbed previously…
“I don’t mind.” I said with a heavy gulp.

‘Oh you big wu**. Tell him you want to go lick every inch of that delicious body of his.’ Akira giggled. ‘Or I will tell Zion to tell him.’ she teased.
‘Do not tell him that!’ I warned her. ‘I did not say I wanted to do that.’
‘You didn’t say you didn’t want to either though. Imagine how good he would look, and taste with chocolate sauce dripping off that handsome hunk of a body.’ She teased, and I suddenly felt myself getting all hot and bothered. Trying so hard to think of anything other than the images Akira was trying to put within my mind. The thing was, the images were far too appealing. And I quite liked the idea of licking chocolate sauce off him now Akira had mentioned it…
“You okay Bailey?” Asher asked. “You look a little flushed.”
I quickly moved away from him, cursing my wolf and quickly blocking her out when she began to giggle. So much for having my back, she seemed determined to embarrass me! I swear she was sent to the wrong person. F**k**g h**y wolf.
“Uh-huh. All good.” I mumbled under my breath, as Asher dashed off after me.
“I assume we are heading back to the room then?” he asked, and I looked at him in shock. That was a little presumptious of him! Or was that his wishful thinking?
“Who said that?” I asked incredulously. Wondering why he would suddenly think that. I hadn’t mentioned that, had I? “I didn’t mention anything about going back to the room! What would give you that idea?” I stuttered, feeling my cheeks getting warmer, as no doubt they were getting more and more flushed

by the second. Why was this happening to me? My wolf had better not have said anything… I would string her up! I could see Asher watching me, a smirk upon his face, only making me blush even more as I tried to move away, almost falling over my own feet… Yeah, this was not going to plan! Why did I get so embarrassed so easily?!
Asher chuckled. “Bailey, are you okay? I only asked because you are walking in that direction.” And I felt my cheeks flushing even more, if that was physically possible, as I realized what he said was true. I had rushed off in the direction of the staircase. So, yes, it did appear we were heading to the rooms. I am so not good at all this. I want the ground to open up and swallow me whole right about now, I have made such a fool of myself!
“Though if you want to lick chocolate sauce off me, you only have to ask.” He told me with a seductive little wink, telling me Akira had followed through with her threat. My whole body heated up under Asher’s intense gaze, not sure how to react, making me want to die of embarrassment. But at the same time, I am so tempted to take him up on that offer, to see just how good he would taste too…
