Liberation [completed]

New Beginning- Asher

I watch Mia brush her teeth using my toothbrush. It should feel disgusting, but I loved that she used my toothbrush. Up until a day ago, she had only used her hands to brush her teeth. When I first saw her do it, I felt my heart crack just a little more. I could already imagine the excuse she would give me if I asked her why she wasn't using a brush. Buying a toothbrush would be too much money, just using the toothpaste was cheaper. So instead of asking her, I put a second brush for her without mentioning hoping she'd use it. She never did, I don't think she even noticed it. My point was proven the day before when I walked in on her using my brush to brush her teeth.

I was always caught off guard at how simple Mia lived her life. I couldn't even begin to imagine how she lived her life before coming here, the things she had to cut back on. Things that I felt were a necessity she had seemed to cut down on just so she could survive. Mia had really opened my eyes when she walked into my life.

When she was done, I reach for her waist and pull her to me. Over the weeks Mia had gained weight and I no longer could feel her bones when I touched her but she was skinny and I could carry her effortlessly. So I lifted her onto the counter and admired her features. She was beautiful.

"Asher..." Mia whines, "You have to go to work...."

"I know. I know, but I wanted to look at you" I tell her honestly as she reaches for me and runs her hands through my wet hair.

Mia circles her legs around me and pulls me closer to her, I let her guide me and I pull her closer to me by her waist "Is everything alright?" She asks me softly and tries to search my eyes for the answer.

Everything was fine. Perfect even but today was a special day, depending on how you saw it. "Yeah, everything's fine," I reassure her and Mia moves her hands down to my face and holds it in place. Her hands were so small that she really had to stretch her fingers to cover my face.

"I know what day it is Asher," Mia tells me taking me by surprise. She seemed to unaffected by it.

"And? How do you feel?" I ask her.

"I don't care. Nothing's changed. I'm still staying and I hope you still want me to stay" She says casually but I could see the fear in her eyes. She still thought there would be a day that I didn't want her around.

I hug her tightly to me and pull her off the counter and begin walking to the bedroom, when we reach the bed I drop her on it and crawl over her. Mia's breathing becomes ragged and her face becomes flushed. She looks at me with anticipation and desire. "I want you to stay in my bed forever," I tell her, "Preferably naked" I add with a mischievous smirk.

Mia laughs at my comment and rolls her eyes at me, "You'll have to continue dreaming about that, cause that's never gonna happen" She says firmly and ruffles my hair.

"Come here" I demand of her as my hand snakes around her waist and pulls her up to me. She was still in my shirt from last night and nothing more and she looked too sexy to resist.

After sex for the second time in the morning before I went to work, the second time it was her idea, I make Mia come down with me to the car park where I kept all my cars. I had a surprise for her and I knew if I told her before she got there, she'd bail.

"What do you think?" I ask her as we stand in front of the latest Mercedes.

Mia look between the car and myself, "Did you get a new car?" She asks me as she looks around at the other cars I already owned.

"Yeah...." I say as I present the key to her.

She looks at the key and back at me, confused, "What?" She asks me.
