It didn't matter that it was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.Because they needed me.
But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.

Ash

Despite everything I’ve done for my parents, I’ll never be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn’t mean anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in jail.

And nothing else.

When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings. I didn’t think twice about it because they’re my family, my blood. They raised me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn’t matter that it was every penny I had. It didn’t matter that the money was set aside for my future. My dreams.

Because they needed me.

But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man they think I should be.Β

I sat up then ran my hands up his chest. β€œYou want to know a secret?”

β€œAlways.”

β€œYou’re the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.”

β€œWell, that’s not a secret, sweetheart.”

β€œUgh, you’re so cocky but you’re still hot.”

β€œI know.”

My hands went to his jeans and I unbuttoned them then pulled down the zipper.

Ash watched me with dark eyes.

I got his jeans off then saw his long definition in his boxers. It was thick and moved all the way down to his thigh. β€œWow…”

β€œI get that a lot.”

I pressed my lips to this tip through the material and gave him a gentle kiss.

Ash’s eyes widened and he released a deep moan. β€œWhoa…sweetheart.”

I grabbed his boxers and tugged them down.

He gripped the top and kept them up. β€œAs horny and flattered as I am, not tonight.”

I pouted my lips. β€œWhy the hell not?”

β€œBecause I’m not going to take advantage of you.”

β€œTake advantage?” I asked. β€œI’m giving it to you.”

β€œEven so, last week you told me no. I know you’re only saying yes now because you’re drunk. That’s not how I do things.”

I growled. β€œCome on, don’t be such a pussy.”

He chuckled. β€œExcellent way to get into a man’s pants.”

I growled again.

β€œI’ll tell you what.” He kneeled at the foot of the bed with his torso between my legs. β€œIf you still want to when you wake up in the morning, I’ll rock you so hard your bed will break. How about that?”

β€œBut I want it now…” My hands moved down his chest.

β€œI’m sorry.” One hand moved through my hair. β€œTake it as a compliment.”

β€œYou’re rejecting me. How is that a compliment?”

β€œI’m rejecting you because I care about you. I want to know you want me, not just because you had too much to drink. And I don’t want to be something you regret.” He tucked my hair behind my ear. β€œEven drunk, you can understand that, right?”

I nodded.

β€œGood.” He stood up then pulled his t-shirt off.

Oh my lord.

Ash was a solid slab of muscle. Prominent lines of muscle divided the different areas of his body. His torso was flanked with power and strength, and the muscle of his ribs looked like lines of sand in the desert. His stomach contained an eight pack, full of grooves and valleys. And his chest was wide and expansive. Both of my hands couldn’t take up half the area. β€œI usually sleep in the nude but I’ll sleep in my boxers tonight.”

β€œI want you to be comfortable…don’t mind me.”

He chuckled then pulled the covers back. β€œCome on. Get into bed.”

β€œWith you?” Seriously?

β€œWhat does it look like?”

β€œAre you trying to torture me?”

That stupid grin was on his face. β€œChange and let’s go to bed.”

I eyed his t-shirt on the floor then snatched it. I pulled it over my dress then removed my dress from underneath.

β€œThat’s pretty impressive.”

His shirt reached past my thighs and made me feel smaller than I already was. I crawled up the bed then lay in the sheets beside him. β€œYour shirt smells good.”

β€œIt’s my natural scent so I’m not surprised.” He turned on his side and faced me. Then he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. β€œFor what it’s worth, I’m going to be hard all night.”

β€œWe can fix that…”

He chuckled. β€œI would love toβ€”in the morning.”

β€œI thought you were a dick?”

β€œI am.”

β€œThen why are you being so sensitive right now?”

β€œI’m a dick because I sleep around and tell women they aren’t getting shit from me. But I’m not an ass. I don’t lie and act like I’m something I’m not. No woman ever has to wonder where our relationship is going. And I don’t take advantage of women. A little buzzed is fine, but totally drunk like this isn’t right. And I don’t need to get a girl drunk to get her into bed. Besides, I’m your friend. What kind of friend would I be if I totally used you when you were most vulnerable? That shit is fucked up.”

Now I felt like an idiot. I put myself out there and got rejectedβ€”coldly.

β€œHey.” His voice came out gentle. β€œSaying no wasn’t easy. You know how attracted I am to you. I sincerely hope you still want it in the morning. Because my morning wood is going to be bigger than usual.” He leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips. His mouth was soft and delicate. Even though the touch was innocent, it somehow made me melt. β€œGood night, sweetheart.”

β€œGood night.”
