The ashes we left behind

Chapter 5

We spend the night debating if my idea is good or not, in the basement. Connor cringes at it but doesn't find anything better. Ginny doesn't really care. Concerning Helene, she's more than excited. I don't really like the idea of putting my hands on a body that I consider as trash. But if I want my sister back, I don't have the choice.

When the sun rises, it's not waitress' clothes that Helene and I receive but the same underwear we have seen the strippers wearing. We will have to enter as waitresses and change before Asher's arrival. It's exactly what we do in the beginning of the afternoon. Indeed, we change in the bathroom, hide there and wait for our dear Asher.

He comes in the evening with a friend I guess. They sit and order a drink. I look at him with wide eyes, realizing in what mess I've put myself into. No... I can't do that. Seducing the devil itself is a dangerous game. Especially since I'm not used to it.

Concerning Helene, she doesn't hesitate. She grabs my elbow and forces me to walk to Asher. We stop in front of them. They're in what seems like a serious conversation. And, shameless, Helene sits on Asher's lap. Expecting him to push her away, I don't move. But he does the complete opposite: he puts his arms around Helene and watches her as if she were his next meal. Then, he puts his eyes on me. For a moment, he keeps staring at my face before looking down at my body... slowly. I try not to blush but how do we control this?

Anyway, I have no other choice than to join the game. So I force a grin, hoping it doesn't show my fear, and approach him from behind. Then, I slowly put my hands on each shoulders before getting down his chest. I get my lips close to his neck. I've already had sex with so many guys but I feel like I'm losing all the things I've learned.

"You know what, man", Asher finally says to his friend. "Let's to talk about it later."

"But-

"Don't ever try to contradict any of my words". His voice becomes as cold as stone which makes my skin shiver. "Get up", he orders Helene. The latter obeys as I take my hands off him.

As expected, he leads us to the stairs by putting one of his arm around my shoulder and the other around Helene's waist.

We climb the stairs one by one till arriving to a small corridor. Asher takes us to the room on the corner. He uses some key to open the door. I glance at Helene to make sure she is focused on the keys.

When the door gets closed behind us, I let Helene make the first move. She puts a hand on his chest before their lips meet.

The moment Helen starts to open Asher's shirt, he stops her.

"Let you friend have a taste ", he says in a deep and sensual voice. A voice that is completely different from the one he used with his friend. Helene nods and takes my place while I advance to him. I let Asher take me against the wall. Our eyes meet. I sense what his next move will be.

But my predictions are wrong. he doesn't make any move. He keeps looking at me, his smirk fading away to leave room for an assassin stare. He looks like his next move would be to take a knife and cut my throat.

"Leave", he orders with a tough voice.

Surprised by his behavior, I continue to watch him.

"I told you to leave... Now!"

It's Helene who drags me out of the room. Asher pushes the door violently causing a thunderous noise. Helen waits for me to take a deep breath.

"What was that?" I ask in a trembling tone.

"I introduce you the unpredictable Asher."

"We did this for nothing", I complain, watching Helen who starts to walk away.

"Are you sure?" she asks, showing me Asher's key. I can't help but smile.
