He Was Her Ex-Brother-In-Law Chapter 04

He Was Her Ex-Brother-In-Law Chapter 04

When Asher pinned me down, I thought my 

heart might explode. 

His hands were planted on either side of my 

head. His muscles were taut as wire. 

In the dark, I could hear him grinding his teeth. 

“Sienna. You’ll regret this.” 

I wrapped my arms around his neck and 

pulled him closer. 

“No. I won’t.” 

He dipped his head. His lips were about to 

meet mine. 

Then someone knocked on the door. 

Blackwood. It’s Ms. Sterling. She’s been in an 

accident, hit by a car. She’s in the ER now!” 

“Mr. 

The assistant’s voice came through the door. 

Asher’s whole body seized. 

He pulled himself off me, breathing ragged. 

“Yeah. I got it.” 

He swung off the bed, grabbed his jacket, 

and headed for the door. 

“Asher!” 

I sat up and called after him. 

He stopped at the door. He didn’t look back. 

“Get some sleep.” 

I picked up my phone and shot Celeste a text. 

[Celeste. Heard you’re in the hospital. I’ll stop by 

tomorrow.] 

She replied instantly. 

[No need. It’s 

minor.] 

I didn’t respond. 

Early the next morning, I went to the hospital. 

Celeste was lying in the bed, her ankle 

wrapped in bandages. 

Asher sat beside her. Dark circles under his 

eyes. He obviously hadn’t slept. 

“Celeste. You 

alright?” 

I walked in with a smile. 

She glanced at me, triumph hidden behind her 

eyes. “Oh, it’s nothing. Just twisted my ankle. Asher refused to leave. Stayed here all night.” 

I turned to Asher. 

“You’ve been up all 

night. Go home and rest. I’ll stay with her.” 

“No.” 

Asher looked at me. 

Celeste reached out and wrapped her hand 

around Asher’s wrist. 

“Go rest, Asher. Sienna 

can keep me company.” 

He gave a reluctant nod and left. 

The moment he was gone, Celeste’s face 

darkened. 

“Sienna. What exactly do you 

want?” 

I sat in the chair and crossed my legs. 

“You want to know what I want? You staged 

that little accident. Middle of the night. Desperate. 

You couldn’t stand him putting his hands on me.” 

Celeste’s face shifted. 

“I have no idea 

what you’re talking about.” 

I laughed. 

“Let me tell you something. 

Asher Blackwood is mine.” 

“And once he’s mine, I’ll make sure you get a 

copy of the video. Something to remember me by.” 

She shook with rage. 

I watched her lose her composure and walked out, satisfied. 

I found Asher at the end of the hospital 

corridor. 

He looked down at me. 

“Sienna. What 

you said last night. Did you mean it?” 

“What did I say?” 

“You said you wouldn’t regret it.” 

My heart skipped. 

“I meant it.” 

He grabbed my hand and strode toward the 

elevator. 

He drove fast. Didn’t speak the entire way. 

The car pulled up to the estate. 

He came around to my side, yanked open the 

door, and lifted me into his arms. 

“Asher, what are you…” 

“Shh. Quiet.” 

He carried me upstairs, kicked his bedroom 

door open, and laid me down on the bed. 

Then he started tearing off his tie. Rough. 

Violent. 

I lay on the bed and watched. 

His suit jacket hit the floor. 

His shirt buttons came undone, one by one. 

His chest. His abs. The V–line cutting down. 

All of it, revealed. 

He lowered himself over me, hands braced on 

either side, caging me in. 

“Sienna. I’ve held 

back for three years.” 

His voice was wrecked. “Your eighteenth 

birthday. You wore that red dress and called me. 

Asher. I haven’t stopped wanting you since.” 

I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

“Then what are you waiting for?” 

He lowered his head. His lips brushed my 

throat. 

The heat of his breath melted me. 

Then the doorbell rang downstairs. 

ignored it. He kept kissing down my neck. 

doorbell stopped. A phone buzzed. 

Asher 

The 

His. He didn’t answer. 

Then came pounding on the door. Celeste’s 

“Asher! Open the door! I know she’s 

shrieking. 

in there!” 

“You can’t do this! She’s your ex–wife’s sister!” 

Asher’s head snapped up, his eyes bloodshot. 

I reached for his phone. Celeste’s messages 

filled the screen. 

[I’ve already called the 

Sinclair family. They’ll be here in twenty minutes.] 

[Think carefully, Asher. If you do this, the 

whole world finds out] 

[CEO of Blackwood Industries caught with his 

ex–wife’s sister. Is that the headline you want?] 

I laughed and tossed the phone 

aside. 

“Asher. Are you scared?” 

He stared at me. The fire in his eyes was 

practically blazing. 

“Scared?” 

He lowered his head and bit down on my lip. 

“I’m not scared of anything. The only thing I’m scared of is you regretting this.” 

Downstairs, Celeste kept pounding. 

In the distance, the sound of approaching 

engines. 

The Sinclair family plus a swarm of reporters. 

Almost here. 

And Asher’s hands unfastened the last button 

1. of my nightgown.
