Asher
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice someone coming into my study. I snapped back to reality when a hand brushed through my arms. I looked up to see that it was Elena.
“Elena, why are you here by this time of the night?” I asked.
” I have been looking for you all around,” She smiled temptingly, and batted her eyelashes at me, for a moment I felt entranced. I noticed that she was in her red silk robe. It hugged her curves tightly. And I knew she wasn’t wearing anything underneath. There was no doubt that she was here to seduce me.
” What’s wrong, Asher?” She asked, her voice deep with concern.
” You tell me, it was you who had been looking for me,” I said in a blunt tone.
She tilted her head, observing me like a hawk, and remarked, ” You seem to be worried, is something bothering you?”
I looked into her eyes. They were softly brown and she looked beautiful with concern etched on her face. I knew she cared about me which is why I made her my mistress.
“Nothing.”
” It doesn’t look like nothing,” she purred, moving closer. “I know tonight must have been very stressful for you. I heard from the servants that something happened at the party. Though, I don’t want to bring it up but I want you to know that I’m here to help like always.”
” Elena, please. Not now. I am not in the mood.” I said
She pouted.”Come on, Asher. Let me take the pains away, just like I have always done,” She said. Her soft hands reached my shoulder as the other hand cupped my face, “Please let me take away your worries.”
Her brown eyes gleamed darkly with lust and admiration. Her small, rounded face looked beautiful in the soft glow of moonlight that seeped in through the window. Her brown eyes held mine.
She reached for me and without thinking, I held her and lifted her into my arms, leaned closer, gently pulling a hand to her cheek, and my lips brushed against hers. It started so tenderly and gently but soon became urgent and needy. She also moved her lips to the rhythm of mine, feeling the familiar need growing in her.
I tried concentrating my lips on her, but I just couldn’t. I could feel it, it was different. I couldn’t feel the warmth, the passion, the desire in it. But that wasn’t important. I turned off every emotion and fell deeper into her. I was going to sink my teeth in and nibble on her flesh while I slammed her hard upon me. But before I could bring that thought to action, a particular thought began to trouble me.
I wanted to ignore it, to let go of it and to yank off her robe and bury my cock inside her but the thought kept hammering on my head, like an insistent bug that would not die no matter how much you thrashed it.
” Kayla!!” That was the thought that made me blink and take a pause.
A name that had become a drug to me, one that I was slowly getting addicted to, and that threatened both my peace of mind and my fucking existence. The ecstasy I had been feeling just a moment ago morphed into rage and annoyance.
” Come on, Asher. I am going to make you feel good just like always,” she reached for me again and I caught her hands before it got to me. “Elena, please we need to talk?” I said
“We can talk right after this,” slowly, her fingers untied her robe and it fell on the floor. I was right. She was naked. She stood in front of me, her naked skin and full breasts exposed to me. Elena stood completely naked before me. If this had happened days ago, I swear I would have made her kneel on all four and fucked her nonstop. She was beautiful, no doubt. But something in me was different. She just wasn’t appealing to me anymore. I couldn’t bring myself to fuck her, not with Kayla on my bed and mind.
I looked away feeling somewhat disgusted. But I tried not to let it show. I also didn’t want my rejection to hurt her.
” Cover yourself, Elena. This!!! It can’t continue.”
Her eyes widened and she stared at me completely dumbstruck, her deep brown eyes were on me for a short second before she grabbed her robe from the floor and covered herself.
” What the hell is wrong with you, Asher? She yelled back in rage and frustration.
” You have never treated me like this. Why now? What did I do to deserve this? Her eyes began to shimmer with tears.
I sighed and took a few steps back, away from her. “I do not wish to keep you as my mistress anymore. I’m not asking you to leave, you can stay in the castle as long as you wish but we can never be intimate again.”
She gasped and held her chest. “Tell me, you’re joking. It’s been years Asher, you have known me for years. I have always done this to make you happy. Why are you denying me now?” She blurted, her eyes gathering more tears. When I didn’t respond, the waters in those honey-iced gazes of hers rushed for freedom.
“I can’t believe this. You have never turned me down. What has changed?” She asked, but I still didn’t reply. She began crying.
” Is it because of her? Is she the reason why you are breaking up with me? Is she the one you want to spend your nights of passion with? It’s just a day with that bitch in the castle and you have already chosen her over me.” She rushed, wiping off the tears in her eyes.
I moved closer to Elena, but I didn’t make the mistake of touching her. “We are done here. Please leave my study,” I said, and more tears gathered in her eyes. She stared at me silently. Without saying anything further, she left my study.
