His Secret Obsession
Chapter 30

(Asher)

I just finished working out as I made my way home. Em wasn't responding to my texts but I know she went to the store so she probably forgot to check it.. She probably looks so f*****g adorable right now..I can just picture her walking through the aisles and scrunching up her perfect little nose as she searches for whatever item she is looking for. F**k, I wish I could go with her..this is getting harder and harder every damn day.

It sucks because before all of this Emery and I never hung out one on one ever, so it's not like I can suddenly start doing that without seeming suspicious. I have always made sure to keep my distance considering Carson's stance on the whole matter. I don't know when it started but Carson used to be this way with Mack when they were kids and then it switched solely to Emery.

I still remember the first time I met her so clearly. I was twelve at the time and my mom and dad were on the brink of divorce so I was pretty much an emotionless a*****e back then too.

Emery was just as beautiful then as she is now. She always had such a natural beauty that drew you into her. It was hard not to stare at those hazel eyes that swirled with greens, browns, and gold. I have never seen anything like them, especially when they hit the light a certain way, it's completely breathtaking.

I had been friends with Carson since elementary school, but for some reason Em and I never crossed paths until that very day. Carson always talked about her, saying she was Mack's little friend but that was about it. I don't think he was as open talking about her then as much as he is now. Now he boasts about Emery to everyone, she is pretty much his innocent untouchable sister...which isn't good for me.

But I know my naughty little kitten and she is much much more than that. Emery is sexy and passionate, her body is just begging for my hands to touch her..to feel every damn luscious curve. Fuck I want to taste her again, so damn much. The fact that she is a virgin and no one has ever had her drives me insane. I get to claim all of her..and I will.

I feel like I am a fucking pervert now, even though she is my girlfriend technically..but I can't help but touch myself with thoughts of my kitten running through my head all f*****g day. I have never been this attracted to a woman in my life. Yeah, I have been with more than a few women and was somewhat satisfied but with Emery, I know it will be life-changing..and I'm afraid when I finally have her..all of her..I will never be able to give her up.

Those thoughts scare the shit out of me..how I daydream about living together..Shopping at the store or cuddling up to watch a movie..all of it, I want every damn thing. I have fallen for this girl and It didn't just start when Ronan got in the picture, this was before everything. This was when Emery cheered for me at every game. When she would give me a birthday present as simple as a damn bar of chocolate and yet my own dad didn't even remember. It was all those times when she asked if I was okay and I lied saying I was..it was like she could see inside of me..like she knew exactly who I was even before I did.

The last time we went to the movies when Natalie went off in a jealous rage because Carson posted a picture of all of us together. I lied and said Emery meant nothing to me but the real truth was I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. We were seeing a scary movie and Carson wanted Jackie and Emery to sit by him but I took the seat next to him quickly so Em could sit by me. I acted like I didn't give a shit but I couldn't help and be close to her as much as possible. She had been talking to Ronan for a few months by then but it never went beyond flirting. How she still didn't know it was me was mind-boggling and yet..It was almost freeing, because I could be the real me.

I shared my popcorn with her, not saying much but watching her discreetly. She was perfect in every damn way..and I'm talking perfect as in every flaw, every insecurity and bad habit just drew me in more and more. How she squeaked and jumped from the scary parts, making me want to smile uncontrollably..how she closed her eyes tight and turned her head. Even how she gorged herself on popcorn practically eating the entire bucket..it was all perfect and that's when I knew without a doubt I wanted her.

I wanted her to be mine, to let me take care of her and hold her hand. I wanted to brush her beautiful brown hair out of her eyes and feel her warm skin. Those thoughts began to consume me..so I tried to stay away..well, I tried to stay away as Asher..with Ronan I gave in to every temptation. Talking and flirting with her as much as possible, trying to get to know every little thing about her, and loving every part of it.

Now I just have to get through these next two months and try not to blow my cover. I need to get her out of Kentville to tell her..I know she will freak out, but most importantly I know Carson and her family will freak out. I might be Carson's best friend, but the no- touch rules seem to apply to me the most when it comes to Emery.

I was twenty-one almost twenty-two when Emery turned eighteen. She had made it all through high school without a boyfriend. How? I have no f*****g clue but I suspect it had to do with Carson. He volunteered as an assistant coach for the high school basketball team and I think he might have made it clear that Emery was off-limits. That's what I suspected at least.

But as soon as Emery was eighteen he made it a point to tell all his friends to not so much as look at her or he will beat their ass. He told me about some shit how her dad asked Carson to watch out for her and he took that role very seriously. He even recruited me to watch over her as well..little did he know I was the biggest threat and I want her all for myself.

I got home and noticed Carson's truck was in the driveway but he wasn't anywhere in the house. I wasn't sure if Jackie got off of work early or something but I decided to shower before calling my girl. Fuck I wish I could see her right now..I am getting hard just thinking about it. I can never look at a shower the same after that..shit.

I turned the shower on cold, needing to cool the hell down as my c**k strained against my basketball shorts. This is what she does to me all damn day.

I took off my shirt and suddenly heard the front door close and thought Carson must have just got home. Then I heard her..that voice that makes my heart race as my body began to move without thinking.

I yanked my door open and walked down the hallway hearing the soft laughter that instantly put a smile on my face. Why was Emery here? Did Carson go to the store with her or something? That f*****g a*****e!! I hate how he excludes me from everything with her. It pisses me the hell off.

Without thinking I barreled into the kitchen before freezing on the spot as Emery's wide eyes fell on me, rooting me in place.

"What are you doing here?" My voice came out breathless and urgent. Like I was missing out on something..why didn't she text me?

She just continued to stare at me, her eyes wandering down my body as I suddenly realized I wasn't wearing a shirt. Was my little kitten checking me out? The corner of my mouth twitched, as I tried to hold in the smile that wanted to spread across my face. "I....umm store.." she mumbled, causing me to stifle a laugh as I watched her get flustered. It was one thing to see it on webcam, but to experience it in person was beyond words..she was fucking delectable and I wanted a taste..bad. Her cheeks began growing redder and redder by the second and I walked towards her, feeling that magnetic pull taking over.

"Are you okay Emery? You look a little warm." My voice was low and full of desire..I couldn't help it..she made me do this without even trying. Suddenly she cleared her throat and looked away from me, trying to compose herself. "Yeah, great..fine..I mean, I am fine." The words tumbled out of her as she suddenly stood up like she was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" I asked smoothly, taking another step..fuck..I needed to stop this. I don't even know where Carson is but if he sees me looking at her like this I am screwed.

"Carson wanted to give me some clothes Jackie left. I guess she cleaned out her closet or something and wanted to see if I liked anything..but I can just get it later, I don't want to bother you guys any longer, I know you like your privacy and stuff...plus it seems like you were about to shower..or I don't know maybe you always walk around like that but I'm.." She began to ramble and I couldn't hide the laugh any longer. I went forward, placing my hand on her shoulders as I swear she melted beneath my touch..did she even moan just now? What the hell was that?

My eyes widened as her gaze locked onto mine..what was this feeling between us? Usually, she tries to avoid eye contact and keeps herself at a distance but this..fuck me. She was looking at me the same way she does at Ronan on webcam. My body began to lean forward, my lips craving her..the carnal urge to taste her consuming me.. F**k it..I don't give a shit anymore..I need this..I need her or I might just die right f*****g now.

"Here Em, there are two bags." Carson suddenly shouted down the hall and I swear I had never moved so fast in my damn life. I practically jumped out of my skin and headed to the fridge as I acted like I was searching for something to eat..that was close...too f*****g close.

"Oh hey dude, how was the workout?" Asher suddenly asked, realizing I was now in the kitchen.

"Usual." I shrugged, acting like I wasn't just about to pounce on Emery and throw everything away. This is getting too dangerous..

"Where did you guys go?" I asked casually, acting like I didn't know Emery was at the grocery store. I even knew what underwear this girl was wearing..maybe that's not the best thought to put in my mind right now. I suddenly felt my cock twitch and mentally kicked myself.

"Just to the grocery store, can't leave this girl alone for a minute without some a*****e trying to get her damn number." Carson muttered and my eyes snapped to Emery who was now glaring at Carson.

What the hell?! I felt the anger rising, my hands clenching into fists at the mere thought of some prick hitting on my girlfriend made me furious.

"It was just a guy I went to school with. It wasn't anything like that!" She retorted, not meeting my fiery gaze.

"What guy?" I said between clenched teeth, making Carson look at me suspiciously.

"He..well..his name is Jacob, we were friends in elementary school but he moved away in eighth grade. He always had a thing for Mack, that's why I know he wasn't interested in me." She explained while shooting daggers at Carson.

I didn't like this, not one fucking bit. My jealousy rose, the urge to claim what was mine coursing through my veins as I wanted to grab Emery and shove my damn tongue down her throat. I wanted her to smell like me, I wanted her mouth to taste like me and I wanted to mark every inch of her body with love bites and hickeys so no man would ever question if she belonged to someone. But instead, I just nodded my head tightly and turned back to the fridge, trying my hardest not to break every damn thing in this kitchen. "...I should go..thanks for coming to the store with me Carson. I will text Jackie and thank her for the clothes." she squeaked out, turning on her heel as she practically ran the hell out of here. It was almost like she knew she was in trouble..I wanted to spank that perfect round ass so damn bad.

I slammed the fridge, turning to leave the kitchen when Carson's voice boomed behind me.

"Asher..whatever the hell that was, you better stop it the fuck right now." He warned me, making me freeze in place as I felt his eyes burning into my back.

"You know how much she means to me...I don't want you f*****g her up..she's not like those other girls." His voice was firm, causing my hands to clench into fists as I turned my head slightly, meeting his gaze.

"I know that." I said cooly, he thinks I would hurt Emery? That I would fuck her up and treat her like any other girl? See this is why I'm not saying shit yet because I know for a fact it will end badly.

"Then there are no issues between us. But one more incident like that Asher..and there will be." He walked forward, bumping into my shoulder as he pushed past me and I swear it took everything in me not to punch him in the damn face.

That's when I knew Carson would never accept this, so what's the point in waiting?

Fuck Florida then..I'm done wasting my time staying away from her..Emery is going to be mine by the end of the damn week, and Carson is going to have to learn to live with it.
