Silver City

Chapter X

Slowly she trailed her eyes up the well-dressed body, still on her hands and knees. Her heartbeat quickens as she moves her eyes higher. Meeting his face her mouth hangs open. Aiden Asher stood before her a sneaky smile on his face.

The shock turns to anger as she finds her feet. How is this possible? she is thinking. I told him I would not work for him. The thoughts kept coming. I thought he left and yet he has been so nearby this whole time?! She is seething.

There has been this longing for this meeting in her. Wanting to see him again. As her mind put together what was happening though she grew infuriated. She felt betrayed and tricked. He was her boss this whole time even at Bane Industries he would have been her boss's boss.

Looking him square in the eye she is overcome by the longing and anger. He looks to her, a sparkle in his eye. "Hello Beautiful" he says in a low voice that speaks directly to her core.

"Mr. Asher, Sir" she returns. Still at work she wasn't going to break.

"Want to take a seat, maybe a drink?" he spoke, he had waited for this meeting. He knew she would not be too happy with the coming of events but it was the only way he saw possible.

"I'm at work sir, no drink thankyou" she said sitting. This was a meeting at work and she would keep it that way no matter his effect on her.

"Consider yourself off the clock" he smirked. A frown sat on her face as she thought. He had done this all, not her, not her skill or brain but him. The anger was continuing to grow in her as she thought over the last three months. When Alisa first came to the club, was there even an actual community program. So many lies she tried to sort out in her head. There was no way now to tell what was real and what wasn't.

"So, Juliette, what to drink?" He asks her again.

"Just water Sir" she answered. Every time that word left her mouth his cock twitched inside his pants. She was so perfect without even knowing it.

Grabbing her water and not pushing the matter he sits opposite her at his desk. Sipping a dark amber liquid he watches her. Juliette's face contorts and twitches as she continues to play through since she last saw Mr. Asher.

After moments of silence Juliette looked up to the handsome man across from her. "Why?" she said barely above a whisper.

"There was no point in chasing you Juliette, you pushed me away over and over. I had a thought after I lost my cool with you. What if I had you come to me instead?" the wicked smile on his face. Juliette knew he felt proud of his plan, proud of flipping her life upside down and doing exactly what she said she didn't want. "You see you willingly and freely walked in here, you took the job, the one I wanted you to have."

"This is sick Aiden" she rarely used his first name. He was unsure if she actually even had up till this point. "I told you I didn't want to work for you, I told you I didn't need to be saved and I definitely told you I would never play where I work!" she had raised her voice. He is a bit thrown off but he had expected her hard attitude.

"Because you don't know what you need love. I just helped you get what you deserve" he looked at her adoringly.

"I knew what I wanted and you took that from me. How did I get this position? You or my brain?" she questions. Her anger is not only at what he has done but about how she feels. She wants him and there is no way she is going to sleep with the boss.

"A little bit of both" he said. A sly smile still clear on his face. Had Juliette not been so angry she would have found the smile cute, almost sexy.

"That's an issue Mr. Asher. I wanted to get here on my own, what about the condo, the car, the phone?" She was spiraling thinking it all through. "This was unfair" she crosses her arms looking to him. There is a part of her that is happy but she won't allow herself to feel that.
