Chess Pawn

The second night of the Paris art show wasn't exactly what Asher had planned when he walked Lily into his recently acquired hotel. He had planned to introduce her to a bunch of his friends, let them talk while he disappeared into the crowd to sort out some other business. Then he would return, repeat the process again and when he was satisfied that she had met everyone, he would take her upstairs for another intense, unforgettable night of love making.

However, as he later discovered, she had other plans of her own. Plans he for sure knew were fully inspired by her best friend. Asher had never liked Neo from the get go but after the night at the gallery, he started to loathe him. After last night, he started to think about kicking him out of the program but after long hours of thinking, which he didn't usually do when it came to matters like this, he convinced himself that he made a mistake with her. With Lily.
