章節 123: Chapter 2.44
Vance looked to me with shock and his mouth gaped open. I smiled to him, "hey, Vance! Remember me?"
He cleared his throat, "yeah, uh, Will. Former lover of the boss."
I nodded, "I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I would surprise Ash. Can I come in?"
He grunted before opening the door wider and I went inside. I went straight to the bar and sat at the last seat at the end.
"What can I get for you..." Ken began but stopped as he looked to me. "Will? Holy shit! You haven't aged at all!"
I chuckled, "thanks. Can I get a scotch?"
"Yeah, just a sec." Ken walked off to get the drink and my gaze met Connor's as he moved nearby. He scowled, gave a customer the drink in his hand, and stormed over.
"What are you doing here? You said not to bother you anymore so now you come to bother us?!"
I smiled sadly to Connor, "you're still as feisty as ever." I sighed and looked to my hands, "I just came to say goodbye. Nothing more."
"Yelling at us wasn't enough of a goodbye?"
Ken came back and grabbed Connor's arm, "calm down."
I looked up to Connor, "I'm running again. But this time, there's no coming back. I didn't want to repeat past mistakes, so I am saying goodbye before I go."
"Moving? When?"
I took a sip of my drink and looked away from Ken, "tomorrow night." I stood and smiled to them, "Is Ash here tonight?"
Ken nodded, "he's around here somewhere."
I nodded and placed a $20 on the bar, "Keep the change."
I took the drink with me and quietly made my way to the second floor. I went to Asher's office and knocked on the door. When no one answered, so I opened the door and saw the lights were on but no one was inside. I walked in and looked around, remembering all that we did here when we were together. I sat down on the couch and relived everything we had done...what we said...what we felt...right here.
I felt my heart racing and my stomach twist. Is this the right thing to do? Maybe I should have called. But that could have hurt him more.
I jumped slightly as the door opened and Asher sighed while loosening his tie. His eyes were closed until he shut the door and then he saw me. His eyes widened and he froze in place, like I was a ghost.
"Will," he whispered as I tried to smile to him, but I couldn't. My heart hurt for him, "What are you doing here?"
I looked away, "I need to talk to you. I don't want to make the same mistake twice."
"Mistake?" He inquired and came closer.
My entire body felt hot as I looked back to him, "I'm moving; tomorrow night."
"Why did you wait until now to say something?"
I gulped and tried not to cry, "I didn't decide it needed to be done until last night." I took a swig of my drink, "I didn't want to run and not say anything again."
When Asher came to the couch and sat beside me, I couldn't decide if I wanted to hit him, run away, or hug him. I chose to stay completely still. "Why are you running? Is it because of what I did? I really feel horrible about doing that."
I shook my head and looked to my drink, "I don't think it would be good to say."
He took my drink from my hands and I froze in shock. He set it on a nearby table before taking my hands in his. "Please tell me."
I felt tears welling, "Jayden is marrying that Alpha from the pictures. He plans to make me and the kids a side family." Tears fell and I pulled my hands away to cover my face. "I gave up everything to make this work, for the sake of the kids! Then he chooses to betray us to keep a good image!"
When Asher pulled me into his embrace, I began bawling and clung to his shirt. He held me quietly and I felt his warmth. It slowly brought me to where I could control my emotions, but I didn't fight out of his grip.
"I gave you up, the guy who really loves me, for him since I thought it was my only choice and what I wanted. As destined partners, I can't be with anyone else! He said it was the same for him, but then he chooses to marry someone else!" Asher lightly placed his head on mine and held me closer. "Its one thing to do this to me, but to the kids?! They didn't ask for this! They are completely innocent and now I have to tell them that he abandoned us! But I can't stand around and let him treat us like this!"
Asher's breath flowed through my hair, like he was fighting not to kiss my head. "I've always thought he didn't deserve you, but now I know for sure. His mind is clearly warped to think he is better than everyone because he is an elite Alpha. You need to get the kids and leave. I don't want you to go, but I don't want him to harm you or the kids anymore."
I nodded and nuzzled into his chest, "I know I have to go, but I don't want to leave."
Asher took a hard breath before kissing my head, "I'll come with you."
I pulled away enough to look him in the eyes, "what?"
He smile sadly, "I don't want you to have to do this alone. I love you and want to be there to help you. We can start over, together."
I gulped as his gaze turned to desperation and my mind raced. Asher coming with us....is that possible? Is that best for the kids? Is it best for me?
"Elijah and I have been looking into ways to solve the effects of your destined partnership. So that you're not forced to be with him soley. There's a doctor in California that may have found a way to fix it." He choked up slightly as his eyes became wet. "We could be together. I can treat you the way you deserve. I can support and love the kids like my own."
"I..." I moved my gaze away from his, "I don't know. This is all happening so fast. I can't make that big of a decision at the same time as this move. I don't want to give you an answer and take it back later."
He sighed before placing his hand on my cheek and moving my face to look at him. "I get it. Take your time, but please don't lose contact with me. I want to know that you and the kids are safe. I want to support you, even if I'm far away."
I put my hand on top of his and nodded. His lips were gently placed on mine and I couldn't hold back. I knew it would make me ill, but I needed comfort from him; the man that really loves me.
When he licked my lips, I slowly opened them and allowed his tongue to intertwine with mine. I let out a moan of pain and pleasure. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled my body against his. I couldn't fight tears as I felt horrible nausea but unimaginable love.
His lips left mine and he kissed my cheek before slowly kissing down the length of my neck. His hand on my lower back began to slowly slide up my shirt and I trembled.
His hand moved out from under my shirt and to the bulge in my pants. He began rubbing it and I lightly bit his neck. He rushed to pull out my member and I quickly followed. He took my hand that touched his member and put it back around his neck. He took both members and began rubbing together while kissing my neck again. I shuddered and panted while trying not to get sick as he continued moving. I pulled on his hair as I groaned, "stop."
He placed his head in the crook of my neck and continued moving. We both moaned as we came together, but I pushed away slightly as his hand tried to slide down into the back of my pants.
"I'm not ready."
He sighed before lightly pecking a kiss on my lips. He stood and fixed his clothes, so I did the same. I stood up too and hugged his quickly before letting go.
"I need to finish getting things together. I will call you when we get to our new place."
His fingers caressed my cheek, "promise?"
I nodded and he removed his hands from me. I quickly made my way out to my car and drove home. When I got home, everyone was asleep, so I quietly made my way to the bedroom. I changed into sweatpants and a tshirt before getting into bed. I slowly fell asleep, although I didn't sleep well from the the stress and anxiety.
