The ruthless man

"What is it?" he asked gently.

"He wants to take my virginity," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "There's some kind of ancient family tradition that dictates that he has to do it. But I don't want that. I want to be in control of my own body, my own choices."

Asher listened to me patiently, his expression never wavering.

"I understand," he said finally. "But what do you want to do about it?"

I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of determination coursing through my veins.

"I want to fight back," I said. "I don't want to be a pawn in their twisted game. I want to take control of my destiny."

Asher smiled at me, his eyes full of admiration.

"I knew there was something special about you," he said, his voice full of pride. "Don't worry, Selena. I'll be there for you every step of the way. We'll confront your enemies together, and we'll make sure that justice is served."

I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I looked at Asher. It was as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders, and I finally had someone who understood and cared for me.

"Thank you," I said, my voice full of gratitude. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Asher turned to look at me, his eyes smoldering with desire.

"You'll never have to worry about that," he said, before leaning in and kissing me passionately on the lips.

Our lips met, and I felt a spark ignite within me. It was a feeling of love, desire, and everything in between. And as we continued to kiss, I knew that my life was about to change forever.

Asher and I broke apart from our heated kiss, and I felt a rush of excitement and confusion. Cameron had betrayed me, but now I had found someone who made me feel alive and desired. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder if I was making the right decision by getting involved with another alpha werewolf. Would history repeat itself?

Asher sensed my hesitation and took my hand in his. "Selena, I know you're dealing with a lot right now. But believe me when I say that I won't hurt you. I want to be with you, to protect you, and to give you a future that you deserve."

His words soothed me somewhat, and I allowed myself to lean against him. "I want that too," I whispered. "But what about Cameron? He's not going to give up his plans so easily."

Asher's expression grew serious. "We'll deal with him when the time comes. But for now, let's focus on us."

I nodded, feeling more at ease in his presence. As we walked together, discussing our situation in more detail, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him. There was something about his mysterious, yet confident demeanor that attracted me like a moth to the flame.

Before I knew it, we were standing outside of a lavish mansion, which Asher explained was his family's home. As we entered, I was struck by the opulence of the decor. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, with intricate sculptures, plush carpets, and chandeliers that sparkled like diamonds.

Asher led me to a grand bedroom, which he explained was his private quarters. Everything about the room was immaculate, from the plush bedding to the lavish decor.

I sat down tentatively on the bed, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. Asher approached me, his eyes filled with desire. "Selena, I know that we've only just met. But I feel a connection between us that's undeniable. Would you be willing to explore that with me?"

I felt a rush of heat course through my body at the suggestion. Was I ready for this? Was I ready to explore my sensual side with someone I hardly knew?

Asher seemed to sense my hesitation and took my hand in his. "Don't worry, Selena. I'll be gentle. And we don't have to do anything that you're not comfortable with."

His words gave me some relief, and I found myself leaning in to kiss him again. As our lips met, I felt a rush of passion that was impossible to ignore.

Before I knew it, our clothing was discarded on the floor and Asher was exploring my body in ways that I had never experienced before. His touch was electric, sending waves of pleasure through me. I moaned softly, feeling a sense of freedom and excitement that I had never felt before.

We made love, I couldn't help but feel conflicted. Part of me was enjoying our intimacy and the way that Asher made me feel desired. But another part of me was plagued with guilt and confusion. What was I doing, engaging in something so reckless? What would Cameron think if he found out?

I tried to push those thoughts away, focusing instead on the present moment. For the first time in a long time, I felt alive and unburdened. And as we shared one final, explosive climax, I knew that I had made the right decision in choosing Asher.

Asher and I lay tangled up in his sheets, exhausted from our intimacy. I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over me. For once, I was free from the burden of my past, free to explore my desires with someone who made me feel alive.

Despite my feelings of freedom, however, a sense of foreboding lingered in the back of my mind. I knew that what we were doing was risky and that if anyone found out about our relationship, we would be in grave danger. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel that this was what I needed, that I deserved to feel happiness, even if it came with a price.

I gazed at Asher, his face peaceful in the moonlight, I wondered what our future held. Would we be able to continue our relationship, to defy those who wished to control us? Or would our actions catch up to us, destroying any chance we had at happiness?

"What are you thinking about?"

I turned to face him, feeling vulnerable. "Our future," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I feel like this is all so risky, that if anyone found out about us, we would be in danger."
