Chapter 100 – Asher Zion had pushed forward enough to take control of my body, to make me stumble forward towardBailey, with his words fresh in my mind. Yes, giving her a kiss would likely shut her up, but it wouldlikely result in me getting a black eye too! She looked angry. ‘Be bold, Asher” Zion’s voice urged. “Asher!” Bailey said, as I stopped myself knocking into her. I smiled down at her. S**t… it is a long time since I have tried being flirty with a woman. Do I reallywant to be flirty with her? I don’t even think I could… I’m not sure that I know how anymore. “What are you doing?” she snapped. I looked down to her again, my heart pounding within my chest. Hell, she could likely hear that…most of the pack could likely hear that… her beautiful brown eyes were glaring at me. I’d like to saygazing, but right now, it was definitely more an angry glare than an affectionate gaze. I gently raisedmy hand to softly run it along the skin of her cheek, and I heard her gasp the moment my fingerstouched her face. Bailey’s eyes darted back and forth over my face, like she was trying to read what I was doing, theangry glare now replaced with a look of uncertainty and confusion. I hated that I made her feel thatway. I could see the rise and fall of her chest had increased, meaning 1 was likely making her panic.“Asher…” she whispered. 1 0.001 12.06 288 Vouch I was mesmerized by her eyes, her skin under mine, until she raised her hand to meet mine uponher face. And I suddenly jolted from the daze I had found myself in. The daze I think my wolf hadassisted me in replaceing…. “I’m sorry. I’m not good at this.” I muttered, moving away slightly.

“Good at what?” Bailey asked quietly. “This.” I motioned between me and her. “Zion was saying I should…” I faltered, realizing she didn’tneed to know what my wolf was telling me to do. It would likely not help the situation. “Zion?” she asked, a little confused. “Your wolf?” she asked again, and I nodded. She smiled inresponse. “He tells you to do stuff, does he? Akira does that to me. If that is any help, some of thebat-s**t crazy ideas she has had over years are beyond belief. And aren’t the wolves we havemeant to be our support? Mine has a few brain cells missing, I think.” I found myself smiling, she had instantly put me at ease, seemingly without even trying. But, oddly,the way she described her wolf sounded exactly like my own. “Sounds like someone I know.” I told her with a smile. “I am sorry for just now. I was trying to helpyou, that was all. I picked your keys from the table in the library where you were sitting. I planned totake you to your room, lay you on your bed, put a blanket on you, and leave. That was all Bailey. Iwouldn’t hurt you. I hope you would know that.” Her big brown eyes gazed up at me, through her long dark. lashes, and she nodded. “I know. Thankyou.” She leant forward slightly, standing on her tiptoes, to bring her lips to my cheek in 12.06 Chapter 100-Asher 1 a soft kiss, and a jolt of pleasure and need ran through me that took me by surprise. I knew Zionliked this girl… but, I think I may be beginning to… then, as I looked down upon her, her eyeslooking up at me so sweetly, almost embarrassed, I realized, I needed to feel her lips on my own… Just as Bailey began to move away from me, I h**d my hand within her hair, pulling her face back tomine, causing Bailey to gasp once more in shock, but she did nothing to stop me. Her eyes werefocused upon mine, her lashes fluttering nervously, as I allowed my lips to tentatively replace hers, andas I did, I felt my guards come crashing down. Softly my lips brushed against hers, terrified shewould push me away at my forwardness, but to my surprise, as I continued to tenderly replace her lipswith mine, she began to return my kisses. Did she want this too? Hell, I think I had been surprisedat how much I wanted this…

An unexpected warmth spread through my body as I felt Bailey’s hands reach into my hair, grippingit tightly, making me moan against her lips. Had I been wanting this all along? Because this kiss feltlike a relief sweeping over me. Over Zion too… I felt Bailey’s tongue teasing at my lips, and I parted my lips, allowing her tongue access to mymouth. Meeting it with my own tongue, teasing and playing as we deepened our kisses. Shocks andshivers of delight and desire coursed through my body at Bailey’s touch… the teasing of her tongueagainst mine… the softness of her plump lips against mine… My hands slipped around her waist to hold her closer to me. The curves of her body fitted perfectlyagainst my own, having an effect on me, I hadn’t expected… My head felt light, as my heart pounded within my chest as 57.04% 12.06 D Chapter 100 – Asher . Bailey pulled back from our kisses, though she still kept her hands within my hair, her foreheadrested on my own. “Asher?” she gasped, sounding as breathless as I was feeling. “Hmmm?” I don’t think I could speak. I am not quite sure what had happened. This was notsomething I had expected to happen between us. ‘You took my advice.’ Zion chuckled, sounding smug, but the sense of contentment in him wassomething else. I don’t think I have felt that since Isla, and that terrified me… “What are we doing?” Bailey whispered shakily. I chewed my lower lip anxiously. I thought her words over. Did she mean she hadn’t wanted that?She felt like she did… my head was spinning now… I have now felt how good her lips felt on mine. Idon’t know if I would want to let her go now… I raised my gaze to meet hers. “I don’t know. But it felt good.” I whispered back.
