Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 155

My heart was pounding, and my head was swimming with thoughts. Not to mention spinning. Asher had kissed me… fuck… I had kissed him back… Akira was purring loudly in my mind telling me she was more than happy with the situation, while my head was battered…

I had pulled away from him breathless… terrified. Uncertain. I gently rested my head upon his forehead, my hands still resting within his soft hair. “Asher?” I whispered breathlessly, feeling incredibly anxious right now. What had we just done? Surely we had overstepped a mark that we could not undo? One that we shouldn’t have crossed…

‘Didn’t feel wrong though.’ Akira said bluntly.

And as much as I hate to admit my wolf is right, she is right. It had shocked me the way he looked at me as I had gone to give him a kiss upon his cheek to say thank you. His eyes were filled with so many emotions, but the moment his hand was upon me pulling me close to him, I was lost. Lost in him. And then as his lips found mine, I think I melted… It wasn’t what I had expected him to do or to say in response to my anger, I know that much!

“Hmmm?” Asher murmured in response to me. And I cannot help but hold back a smile. I could see his chest was rising and falling almost as fast as mine. Did that mean I made him as nervous as he made me? No. That still probably didn’t make this right…

“What are we doing?” I whispered, desperately needing to know what had come over him… what had made him kiss me so unexpectedly. That was not like him. Not in the slightest. He didn’t even like me. He saw me as an inconvenience, didn’t he?

I raised my gaze to his, and watched as he chewed his lower lip in what I assume was anxiousness. He looked quite vulnerable doing that… almost adorable… He certainly looked deep in thought. Was he regretting his actions now? I couldn’t help but wonder. I honestly did not know what to think, or what to do. It had felt so good. Wrong… but right…

Asher suddenly raised his gaze nervously to meet mine, the way his green eyes were looking at me was giving me butterflies. “I don’t know. But it felt good.” he whispered back, and I could hear the nerves within his voice.
