Take me if you dare: Alpha Billionaire Romance (The Secret Matchmaker Book 4) (6 page)

I waited a few minutes before moving off of Asher. His heartbeat finally slowed down, though mine had yet to follow his lead.

"That was the best sex I've ever had," he mumbled and reached for the robe, cleaning himself up with a towel and looking up to pin me with a hot stare. "I want more."

"Me too, baby. I can’t wait to taste your cock again." I bit my lip as I worked to get my robe back on.

"Let's go to my place and take a long shower and then I'll give you something to chew on for a while." He wagged his eyebrows playfully.

"A
long
while." I smirked and moved to sit on one of the small rolling chairs. "So of all places, why did you bring me here?"

He dropped the robe and grabbed a big white towel from a cabinet at the other end of the room.

I reached back and turned the lights up a little.

"Because I wanted your opinion on the place." He tightened the towel around his waist and leaned against the wall, the movement accentuating the sexy muscles in his chest and abs.

I wanted to be honest about how unimpressed I was, but I didn't want to offend him in the process. I didn't know his intent or his thoughts about the spa, but I could be tactful and still tell him my true thoughts.

"Honestly, I'm not really that impressed. The place is in the middle of a neighborhood, which limits the exposure for prime time marketing. It's a little dingy, especially in the hot springs rooms and honestly, my massage was horrible." I pursed my lips and waited to see his reaction. I'd worked hard to keep my voice neutral and very business-like.

"I couldn't agree more." He moved toward me and knelt in front of me. "That's why we’re here."

"What? I thought we were here for a sex-capade!"

"Yeah, well, that too, but that was my hopeful horny thinking." He touched my leg, but kept his eyes on mine. "I met the owners and they aren't experts at all at running this type of spa. They aren't like normal spas, and special care is required."

He stood and looked down at me. "They hired a few locals in the area that said they had experience in deep tissue massage, but the owners themselves have admittedly never gotten one."

"Well, what we got today was certainly
not
one." I huffed and reached up to tie my hair into a knot to keep it out of my face.

"I'm well aware. I gave you a better massage than those two, right?"

"In more ways than one." I wagged my eyebrows and enjoyed the sexy look that slid onto his face.

"Keep it out of the gutter or I'll bend you over this table and take care of some unfinished business with your ass before we leave." He licked at his lips again and I almost melted.

"Please?"

"Fuck, Lila. You’re killing me. Hush." He chuckled and brushed his finger over his lips, breathing in deeply. "Where was I?"

"About to play with my ass?"

He pinned me with a hard stare and I lifted my hands, relenting for the moment. He was getting to the point, but taking forever to do it.

"So tell me this..." he paused and I nodded. “These people are inexperienced, but are you? This is what you want to open and invest your time and talent into. Tell me what you know about running a Japanese Onsen."

His expression was warm and inviting. He wasn't attacking me, but trying to help me see a few holes in my plan. I pressed my thumbnail to my teeth and thought about my response before giving it.

"I'm not very experienced either. I know why I want one, and what I want it to look like, but I guess I haven’t thought through the details, like maintenance and how to find the right type of masseuse to work for me."

Asher reached down and pulled me up, wrapping his strong arms around me and pressing his forehead to mine.

"I'm not here to break your spirit or crush your dream. I just wanted to help you see some things we might need to give some attention to. I met someone recently that can help us. He's a Japanese American rich boy, much like me. His name is Kazu."

"You're oriental? I'd never have guessed." I tightened my arms around the man of my dreams as he chuckled.

"Silly woman. He's interested in your idea, baby. If you're interested in moving this forward, then we can meet with him, but I need you to understand that my time is something I have to manage carefully. I want you to own all of it, but if you don't want that too... I need to know soon."

"Are you wanting to invest in the Onsen with me?" I reached up and touched the side of his face as my heart swelled inside of my chest.

"No, Lila. I want to invest in you. In us. Do you want that?"

Fear washed over me, but I swallowed it down as tears filled my eyes. Asher wasn't only back in my life and willing to be mine, but he was more than ready to put his money, his time and his energy in my dreams.

How could I deny him anything?

"I do."
