Chapter 23: What about the boob thing 2?

"I am sure my other boob will find a way to survive it, pervert!" Pepper rolled her eyes.

"Your loss, Pepper"

"Hello…hello…" 

The voices on the phone made Asher remember that he was still on call with her grandparents.

"Oh sorry, Gigi! Pepper and I…we want…to…hmmm, yes" Asher was confused about what to say. "We want Gramps and you to agree on a double date with my wife and I!" Asher blurted out. 

Pepper stared at him in horror. she wanted to rip his throat out.

"Oh that's wonderful, can we do it today?" Gramps asked them.

"Sure" his answer sounded like a question since Pepper was looking at him like he was a mad man.

"Okay, bye bye. See you in two hours!" 

The line went dead.

Asher turned around and watched Pepper. She had a look on her face. The look of pure rage and animalistic instinct of making him miserable.

"At least, it's not that horrible…right?"

Pepper's nostrils flared as she stared at him, if it was possible to bare her teeth like an animal, she would. But her eyes narrowed and almost turned into slits.

Asher was genuinely amused at her angry stance.

"It's not that bad, Pepper" 

"Yeah genius…it's been a long life dream of mine to go on a date with my grandpa….and my grandmother. So, thanks for that okay!"

Pepper turned around and tried to leave when she heard Asher's voice.

"What about the boob thing?!" He yelled after her.

Pepper entered her room. Going out on a double date with her grandparents and her roommate was the last thing she wanted to do. Baking might have helped calm her down but she was still panicky and pretending that she was in a healthy marital relationship with someone as childish as Asher was pushing it.

She let out a breath. Now, she really has to find an outfit that says she was happily married to an angel while she plotted Asher's death in secret.

She opened her wardrobe to pick out an outfit. She chose a comfortable t-shirt and a pair of jeans. 

She dropped it on the bed. Pepper took off her clothes and wrapped a white towel around her body as she made her way into her bathroom. When she opened it, Asher was in the shower and he was stark naked.

He was washing his hair.

Pepper didn't mean to but she stared at his naked body.

She didn't know she was following the trail of the beads of water falling all over his body until she found herself staring at his butt. Pepper's breath caught in her throat and when she tried to swallow, it went down the wrong pipe sending her in a fit of coughing that made her shake.

Asher turned around and saw his wife, just standing there and coughing like she was about to pass out. He got out and wrapped a towel around his waist. 

At first he rubbed her back like she was a child but suddenly that comparison made him want to puke. She wasn't a child. She was a woman, who's reaction to seeing his naked body was coughing.

Asher entered the bedroom and came back with a bottle of water. He opened it and thrust it into Pepper's hand and she took a big gulp.

"Easy, girl. You don't want to choke again" Asher told her.

Pepper had never felt so embarrassed in her life. And knowing that he was still naked underneath the loose towel made her cough the more.

"Easy…girl? What am I…a horse?" Pepper tried to use hostility as wall to stop herself from thinking about what she was thinking about.

"Stop thinking about my dick and I promise you, you will stop coughing" Asher told her while tilting his head.

"I didn't see your…" Pepper didn't get the word out when she started coughing again.

"Told you!" Asher said but not in a disrespectful manner.

Pepper sat on the floor and Asher squatted down to make sure she was alright.

Again, she didn't mean to but she stared at his chest, at that spot above his nipple. Who knew naked Asher was hot and distracting?.

Pepper tried to stop herself from staring lower but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't.

"Can you put a shirt on?" She asked Asher.

"No" he murmured

"You are…distracting. You should put a shirt on" Pepper said and cleared her throat.

"Can't. I have soap on my hair and I still need to complete my shower. Maybe you should leave the bathroom, so I can do so"

Pepper nodded. 

She willed her legs to stand up but they simply ignored her.

Next time she knew, she was moving closer to Asher.

Next time, she knew, she was planting a little kiss just above his nipple.

Hot damn!
