ASH THUNDER DATE NIGHT
Chapter 16I watch closely as Tanya throws on some clothes. There's a difference in her movement today, a certain bounce in her steps that wasn't there yesterday. She seems excited for some reason she won't let on. She came in late yesterday night, reeking of alcohol and wearing the skimpiest dress I had ever seen. I was too clouded with sleep to string coherent words together but I'm definitely going to address it now."Tanya!" I wait for her to acknowledge her name but she doesn't break in her movement. If anything, they become faster. She combs her shoulder length hair and packs it up in a ponytail.We are so different in every way imaginable. Where her hair is blonde, mine is pitch black. She's slim with a small stature, while I'm tall and hippy. I took after mother there physically, while she practically took dad's physical attributes. She's reckless and spontaneous but I'm careful and over think everyt
ASH THUNDER THINGS GONE WRONG
Chapter 17Getting my hands dirty in all sense of the word, has never been a problem for me. That's the only way I know I'm getting the work in.My hands are all black and caked with mud from steeping them inside the earth. It was a total success today, unearthing stone gems from the mines. Seeing those pale rough diamond rocks was something that tripled my elation. Coupled with the fact that hazel eyes is on her way to the restaurant this minute has me stirred like I haven't been in years.After washing off the grime and dirt from the mines in the small bathroom, I walk to my car and give Moro a call. "Is it done?""Yes, boss, I've got info on Guoliang. He's having an incentous affair with his step daughter who is just fourteen.""In other words, he rapes her." My jaw ticks with anger."Exactly. And that's not all. He's got a picture perfect wife and two kids. If this scandal comes out. . ." He lets it hang.
ASH THUNDER SEDUCED
Chapter 18Definition of hot: Interesting or appealing.As I stare at Ash's side profile, I can't help but think he's all that and more. He's sexy in everything he wears. The suit clings to him showcasing his broad shoulders. He's not bulky, but he's undoubtedly solid, with a lean torso made more evident in the suit. He exudes a charm he doesn't even need to try to show. It comes off powerful and wraps up every other person around along with it."Keep looking at me that way and I might stop this car and fuck you on the side of the road where people will see us." He says without turning his head.My face flames, and big bad butterflies begin to swim inside my stomach. I might hate swear words but hearing it drop from his lips is so hot.My mind goes back to earlier as I'd watched him rip into the two men at the restaurant. It had set my blood on fire for him. Even when the man's hand he held onto had bent in an
ASH THUNDER LESSON 101
Chapter 19I should be concentrating. I should be doing last minute hand over. Heck, I should even be packing up and getting ready to leave this place as it's my last day at Harry's cargo before school starts. Instead, I can't move a muscle even if I want to. My mind is on a hiatus.Not on-the-beach-sipping-kolada kind of hiatus. It's the spaced-out kind, the type that could get me fired out of this place forever if I don't snap out of it.Except I can't.I can't stop thinking about Ash and his hands which had been all over me, touching me, taking me to the highest clouds. I never wanted to come down. I can still feel my toes curling from the pleasurable feeling of it.The door to my office opens but I barely acknowledge the person coming in."Shit, Lis, you've got that I just got fucked glow about you. Someone was a bad girl this weekend."That statement snaps me out of my mind journey. I sit up and give Cla
ASH THUNDER UNEXPECTED
Chapter 20 If I were to rate my life right about now, I'd say on a scale of one to ten, it's a five. That's not so bad, right? I mean it could be wayy better, for sure, but then I'd need loads of money to up the scales. I'd always dreamt of traveling to Paris, the city of love. I'm wistful now, thinking about all the things I could do with money. My damn boss didn't want to help, even when I threatened to inform the police about his nefarious activities. The fucker had found it hilarious. He said half of the LA police was under his payroll. I don't doubt it. You don't get to his position without having some form of insurance and assurance as well. That, he's got lots of. That's all well and good for him, but that still brings me back to square one. As I walk down the street leading to the dingy apartment I share with Alicia, I'm filled with a loathing so strong, it's eating me up from the inside. I can't stand this place. Yes, we've never had much, even when daddy was alive, bu
ASH THUNDER DEMISE
Chapter 21 Whoever said there's no such thing as just fucking a woman and not catching feelings needs to have his head examined. I take a sip of the scotch in my hand and wince as it burns a path down my throat. As I throw back the second refill, I grudgingly realize that person just might be correct. I know hazel eyes no longer works for Harry's cargo and she's starting nursing school the following week. That means whatever shit I have with her should have closed down the moment I heard. Instead, I made a deal with Mr. Harry that as long as I keep sending in goods through him, he should keep paying her, and double of what she was earning. That wasn't all. When I got a text from her asking if I'd sent her flowers, I felt something inch it's way across my chest, tightening it, constricting it. I shouldn't have gone to see her, hell, seeing her that day wasn't even on my mind. But what did I do? I got into the car and drove, like a mad man, to her doorstep, asking the first thing
ASH THUNDER FINDING OUT THE TRUTH
Chapter 22 Beauty is alluring. Beauty is elegance. Beauty is a woman subjected to all sorts of body manipulations. Who am I kidding? Beauty is pain. My head feels like it's going to spilt into two with the tight chignon Tanya has my long hair in. Let's not get started on my face and the stuff she's put on it. "Stand still, let me put the finishing touches to your makeup. You're sweating like it's going out of fashion." She says to me with a voice full of exasperation. "I'm trying but you know I'm not used to wearing all this heavy stuff." She has put a ton of powder on my face already and it's beginning to feel numb, plus I'm sweating buckets and it's so uncomfortable. "I'm only going for lunch, not a beauty pageant." "That's the point though, you need to look your best." She says, fiddling with my lashes. "Ouch!" That stings. "And now I can't see well. What did you do?" She sighs exasperatingly once more. "That's 'cause you've refused to close your eyes. I'm only using fake
ASH THUNDER TAKING THE PLUNGE
Chapter 23I like to think of myself as an attractive young woman, one who's kind and blushes at the very idea of dirtying her reputation. I've always been a prim and proper lady with a sense of modesty. I've never used 'fuck' when talking.All that stops today as I stare at the man that has continuously plagued my dreams.Swear words dance on the tip of my tongue, ready to be let loose. Blood rushes to my head as Ash walks closer to me. My eyes zone in on his hand which is clasping the hand of the woman beside him. A woman that isn't me. I expect him to speak to me, or to make a snide remark about why I'm just standing and staring at them.What I don't expect is the reaction I get.He walks past me like I'm air.Like I don't exist.Like I'm nothing.The woman gives me a curious look and tightens her hold on Ash's hand. They pass me, and his cologne wafts into my nostrils. That woodsy, minty smell I've gotten acc
