Summer's POV
Summer listened to the sound of water running as Asher showered. She had used the opportunity while he wasn't in the room to call and touch base with Reggie and Taylor, just to let them know that she had arrived at their chosen destination safe and sound. Promising to meet with them the following day she hung up and waited for Asher to finish washing.
Despite knowing that she shouldn't be she couldn't help but feel nervous as she listened to the water turn off. After all she and Asher had already done everything there was to do, but she still felt like the eighteen year old her as she began to feel slight expectation at what would happen with just the two of them sharing a room.
As the bathroom door opened and steam rushed out Summer felt her heart constrict painfully. Emerging from the room was a very shirtless and still slightly dripping wet Asher. She couldn't deny that the man looked damn good. Time had truly
Summer's POVStanding in the middle of a park Summer checked her watch for the fifth time. She and Asher had arrived at their current location five minutes prior and were currently waiting for Reggie and Taylor to make their appearance.She knew that they were ten minutes early for their appointment time, but she just couldn't stop the anxiety that was rushing through her."Time won't go faster with you watching it." Asher who was smoking a cigarette noted."That's a bad habit." Summer barked back taking a hit at the addiction that Asher had developed within the six years that they weren't together."Yeah, so I've heard." Asher said while taking another drag.Sighing Summer checked her watch once more. She knew that she shouldn't take her feelings out on Asher, but she just couldn't control the emotions that were swirling through her.It had already been over twenty four hours since she had run away from her father,
Summer's POVThe minute Summer stepped into the main room of the Wilson's secret hideout all eyes found their way to her. Beaming everyone gathered in to welcome her with open arms."Welcome back." Theresa, Reggie and Taylor's sister cooed while hugging Summer tightly. "I was wonderin' when we would see you again.""Don't hog her Theresa." Came Vincent their fathers voice. "It has been too long Summer.""I know I'm sorry." Summer responded hugging him."Summer!" Tracy and Melissa echoed in unison running up and hugging Summer violently."It's good to see everyone." Summer said stepping back to join Asher who stood silently watching. "I want to introduce someone to all of you."As she spoke everyone's gazes found their way to Asher and had begun to size him up. From the way they were looking at him Summer could tell they were trying to determine if he should be trusted."Who is he?" Came Josh'
Summer's POVAsher's chest rose and fell as soft breaths left his mouth. He had fallen asleep a lot earlier on leaving Summer awake. They had had their fun and Summer's buzz was now completely gone.Even though she knew that she should be sleeping she just couldn't calm her racing thoughts.As seconds, minutes, hours passed she grew more and more anxious wondering when her father or Michael would make their move. She wished that it was nothing more of a worry of IF rather than a worry of WHEN.She couldn't help but find herself wondering what would happen if she just up and left right now and went back to him. Would he end up killing her? Would he let her off? Would whatever happened be better than living in her current state of unknown?Sighing she tried to push those thoughts away and focus on the sleeping Asher in front of her. Even though she had tried her best to keep him at arms length here she was.&n
Summer's POVThe street outside Summer's hotel was busy with early morning traffic and people heading off to their jobs and school.Summer and Asher had woken up extra early that morning to go and meet the Wilson's to begin a crash course of training. Although Asher could hold his own against three of her fathers men, Summer was still worried that he wouldn't be able to handle more. So she was determined to give him the most help she could.Yawning Asher looked to Summer and smiled, "You shouldn't look so tense, it draws more attention to you.""Don't you think you're a bit too lax?" Summer asked pulling the cap she was wearing farther down to cover her face. "This isn't some game."She didn't necessarily mean to snap at Asher, but he was acting like things were simpler than they were."Listen..." Asher sighed stepping forward and placing a hand on Summer's shoulder. "If this is the last few minutes I have in th
Summer's POV Summer and Asher arrived at the Wilson's hideout a little after ten in the morning. They were due to meet there at nine, but after being tailed they had ended up running late. "What took you so long?" Reggie demanded now as Summer walked up to him. "We were just about to send some people out to look for you." "We were being followed." Summer explained pulling her hat off. "Had to make a little detour to lose them." Reggie's face paled, "What do you mean you were followed?" "Exactly what she said." Asher spoke up frowning. "Someone was following us so we had to make a run for it." "I wasn't talking to you." Reggie snapped narrowing his gaze at Asher. "I don't care." Asher challenged. Sighing Summer shook her head, "Can the both of you stop with your pissing contest?" "He started it." Reggie grumbled crossing his arms. From beside her Summer could hear Asher snickering.
Reggie and Taylor stood on either side of Summer as they stared at Michael's man who was bleeding prefusely out of his nose. He had tried to threaten Summer in front of the brother's and recieved a punch straight to the nose that Summer had already broken."Are you going to do the honors?" Reggie asked now looking to Summer."I can I suppose." Summer muttered.Her heart wasn't in it, all she could do was keep thinking of worst case scenerios of Asher the longer he was being held captive. She didn't have the time to torture this man to get him to talk, but she didn't have any other choice, obtaining Asher's location was the main priority."Can you go get me a pair of plyers?" Summer asked turning to Reggie."Sure thing boss." Reggie said rushing off leaving Summer and Taylor alone with the man."Are you sure you don't want me to beat the shit out of him?" Taylor asked cracking his knuckles. He had a look of bloodlust in his eyes.&
"What do you want to do with him?" Reggie asked eyeing the man that was now hunched over panting after being shocked one too many times."Put him out of his misery." Summer said shrugging."You want me to do it or do you want to do it?" Reggie asked pulling his gun from his belt.Summer considered, even though the man had talked and told them where Asher was being held she was still pretty pissed about what had happened.Smiling Summer held out her hand. "Let me do the honors."Nodding Reggie handed the weapon over to Summer. As she took the gun from Reggie's hand Summer could see nothing but images of Asher being beaten and tortured. Not even batting an eyelash she pulled the trigger allowing a bullet to fly and connect directly between the mans eyes sending him flying backwards in his chair and landing back first on the ground.Handing the weapon back to Reggie who stood staring wide eyed Summer kept her gaze fixed on the
Summer paced back and forth in front of the Wilson's secret hideout. The sun outside had begun to set sending an eery red glow across the entire area, fitting given that there was a chance that blood would be spilt this evening. It was almost like a vivid premonition of what was to come.Reggie, Taylor, Vincent, and Theresa had needed to prepare themselves for Asher's rescue mission, leaving Summer all alone waiting. Even though she was anxious to get Asher back, Summer just couldn't stop the feeling of foreboding that she was feeling.Before any missions she always felt like this, it was when she questioned her mortality the most. She knew thinking morbidly wasn't a good idea, but she just couldn't help it. Knowing that she was rushing into danger and that she didn't know how many people were waiting for her always scared the hell out of her."You should stop that before you end up making it to the earth's crust." Reggie joked appe
