ASH THUNDER MYSTERY MAN
Chapter 45Something is wrong.I can feel it.My body can testify to it.Bile rises to my throat and I know a second round of vomit is on its way. I won't allow it take me by surprise this time around.I vault up and rush to the bathroom, and just in time too, because the moment my head is bent over the toilet bowl, it all comes gushing out. The remains of my dinner last night, or whatever the first round of vomit didn't bring out. After a few minutes, when it's obvious my stomach is a bit settled, I stagger to the tap and splash some water on my face. The coolness of it helps to reduce the quiziness I'm feeling. After splashing a little more onto my face, I feel a shade better, and even manage to walk without stumbling back into the bedroom.What did I eat last night?I close my eyes as I try to recall. Ash took me to Parched for the night, to celebrate Chucho's passing.Actually, his murder.When Ash told m
ASH THUNDER MADE MAN
Chapter 46Sixteen years ago.Bonde hair cascades onto her neck and falls across her graceful shoulders. I look into blue eyes that are heavy with passion and want. Her lips are already swollen from my ministrations, and her body is naked and wantonly displayed under me. Seeing all this ignites the sensual lust in me. She wraps her hand around my neck and draws me even closer to take another sip from her lips. I can't get enough as I bend forward and drink to my heart's content.My hands pave a hot pathway down her body and land in between her laps where I know she's already wet and ready to be taken. She stiffens against my hand inching into her wet folds and I look into her eyes questioningly."I need to tell you something."She knows talking is the last thing on my mind, but I remove my hand from in between her laps, anyway, and lie on my back. I put a bit of space in between us so I can concentrate on what
ASH THUNDER PARTNER IN CRIME
Chapter 47I dip hazel eyes in a low arc and watch as her eyes flutter close and her long lashes rest on her cheeks. It takes only a second and I'm lifting her back up and into my arms. A flush settles on her cheeks and a smile coils her lips as her gaze settles on me."Where did you learn to dance this way?" She's watching me like I'm an interesting specimen.I chuckle before answering. "I go to a lot of these stuffy parties, unfortunately."She throws her head back and lets out a tinkling laugh, affording me a view of her long slender neck. "Stuffy?" She shakes her head. "This party is delightful, I've never been around so many important people before."My eyes stray to the senators chatting amongst themselves before my gaze once more settles on her. "Well, then, I'll make sure to bring you to more of them."My words must really affect her because her eyes glimmer with excitement, and her hands tighten around
ASH THUNDER DOMENICO . . . WHO?
Chapter 48With Hazel eyes hand tightly ensconced in mine, we head straight to my office where the recording machine has already been laid out on the table. Koldis and Moro who set it all up are already there waiting for me."Any news yet?" I take a seat behind my desk and drag hazel eyes onto my laps.Koldis shakes his head and puts his hand on his lips, a signal for me to keep quiet as he increases the volume. Igor's voice fills my office, making me marvel at technology and it's uses.My eyes become glued to the recording machine on the table. Raunchy noises escape through the speakers and I don't need a crystal ball to know Igor is having a damn orgy. The voices of other men I recognize as his brothers, fill the room. Disappointment spears me when I realize they're speaking in Russian.I let out a growl. "Get a damn interpreter now!""He's on his way." Koldis informs me.Anger sizzles through me. I know they're o
ASH THUNDER COINCIDENCE OR CONJECTURE?
Chapter 49I stare at my most-trusted men.Now, five of them.They're standing and watching me warily, probably wondering why I had them assembled here on such short notice. I practically pulled them out from important tasks they were working on.I don't regret it.Around the wariness on their faces are hints of excitement brimming at the edges. I know they'll give their lives for me in a heart beat but that's not why they're working for me. These men live for the excitement, they live on the edge of danger. They live for the danger of the chase, because that's what my business is all about. Chasing people who present a threat to me, and by extension, to them as well."Something the matter, Ash?" Night eyes, asks.Hazel eyes chooses to walk in at that moment, and her mouth immediately rounds into an o.

Chapter 50Happy shouts echo all around me as Clarissa and ten of her ex high school classmates bounce around a ball. Truth be told, it looks like the ball is bouncing around them instead. They're all a sweaty mess. I can't even call it football anymore, it's more like bodyball, with the way Clarissa keeps tripping and falling, bringing a new meaning to the art of playing football.The others are doing good, but she - just no.Luckily, no one else in the vast field has taken an interest in what they're doing as they're fully engrossed in their own brand of sports.

ASH THUNDER IT'S ALL OVER
Chapter 51At what point I became obsessed with the finer things in life, I do not know, but as I stare at the beautiful bag on the rack, I just have to take it home with me."And that one as well." I say, pointing to it."Right away, ma'am." The sales girl that's been following me around with the rest of the things I bought, says as she picks it.I continue to walk around, looking longingly at some pair of shoes, and wishing I could also buy them. After physically tearing myself away from another swoon-worthy bag, I turn to her. "That will be all."She hides her smile and nods as we make our way to the cashier. The things I bought are rung up, and I hand the cashier the money, making me ten thousand dollars less-rich.Don't judge me. I like to splurge.The sales girl scurries after me, laden with all I purchased and helps put them behind my brand-new Tesla car. I bring out a hundred dollar bill and hand it to
