Her silky dark blonde hair is pulled up in a ponytail, exposing her long, graceful neck, and I suddenly have the urge to run my tongue along her silky skin to see if it’s as soft as it appears.
I know I’m staring at her like an idiot, but my tongue glued itself to the roof of my mouth the second I laid eyes on her heart-shaped face sprinkled with adorable freckles.
Alarm bells sound in the back of my mind, but I ignore them and take her in. Her brown doe-eyes meet mine and widen as she bites down her plump bottom lip. My heart nearly fucking explodes in my chest at the sight. In that instant, I know my wait is over. My fucking perfect little soulmate is standing right in front of me.
Do something before she thinks you’re a dumbass. “Hi.” I smile and follow my inner voice’s command. “I’m Asher.”
Before my goddess can respond, the elevator doors open, and my worst nightmare comes to life. “ASHER!”
We both look up at the screeching horde of women standing right outside the elevator. Fuck my life. Don’t I have a bodyguard to keep this shit from happening?
Oh, yeah. I ducked out and lost the fucker.
Isn’t it just my luck that I find my soulmate at the exact same moment Karma bites me in the ass and leaves me to fend off a hungry crowd of wannabee groupies without the help of my bodyguard?
Chapter 2
Brielle
Oh, my. Asher Forbes is even hotter up close. And way the heck taller than I’d expected. His navy-blue t-shirt and faded jeans fit him like a second skin. Growing up, I had pictures of him plastered all over my room, but the young man in those images didn’t hold a candle to the very grown-up man standing in front of me now.
He's much taller and way the heck more muscular than I remember from my teenage fantasies.
I look up into his dark brown eyes and notice a slight gold ring around the irises before I continue my scrutiny of real-life Asher Forbes. The faint lines running from the edge of his almond-shaped eyes give him an older, more worldly look. As my eyes eat him up, I feel a tingling in my virgin lady bits.
This Asher Forbes might be years older than the younger version of him on posters lining my teenage self’s room, but he’s way the heck more dangerous to my heart than the younger version.
He leans close to me, and I feel a drop of sweat slide down my back as I fight the urge to melt into a puddle of goo at his feet.
Grumbling from behind me drags my attention from Asher to the very large crowd of women standing outside the elevator, all of them shouting his name. I glance over my shoulder and realize they’re all looking at him like he’s going to be their next meal.
“This can’t be happening. Fuck,” he mutters, glancing over my head at the large number of female fans standing in the hall.
I suddenly have the urge to rescue Asher. Before I’m able to think better of my plan, I wrap my arms around his waist and throw my body against his. I find myself reaching way the heck up to drag Asher’s face down to mine. I see the shocked expression on his face as I press my lips tight against his.
He groans in the back of his throat as the murmurs from the crowd outside the elevator take an angry tone.
Asher ignores the livid women right outside the elevator and pulls me tighter against his hard body before slamming his hand against the wall.
Through the buzzing in my ears, I hear the elevator doors slide shut behind me and realize he must’ve hit the button to close the doors. My mind shuts down completely as I melt against his yummy body.
Once the elevator starts moving, I tell myself I’ve managed to rescue him so I should put an end to our kiss. I really intend to step back from him. I even give a half-hearted push against his hard chest, but he has other plans. He presses another button, and we jerk to a stop.
The sudden jolt pulls me from my Asher fog, and I’m finally able to pull my lips away from his. As I lean back to stare up into his dark brown eyes, I manage to mumble past my dry lips, “Why did you do that?”
“So I could do this without anyone watching.” He pulls me back against his muscular chest and continues our kiss. No, this isn’t just a kiss. He devours my lips while his tongue slides along mine. My heart nearly beats out of my chest as I let him seduce my mouth.
I lose my mind and track of time as Asher Freaking Forbes kisses me to within an inch of my life. My bones turn to goo when he rubs his very prominent masculine hardness against my belly. Oh, man. This is getting out of hand.
