the wall. “Nice of them to let me know.”
    Ash hated seeing that pained look in Lissa’s eyes as he watched the fight go out of her. Fuck Claudia and Jack for hurting her this way.
    “Melissa?” he prompted teasingly.
    She glanced up at him. “Typically, Claudia refused to accept the diminutive I chose to use when I started school.” A humorless smile curved her lips. “How did Malcolm react to Jack’s arrival?”
    His eyes widened. “You know about the two of them?”
    “Oh yes.” She grimaced. “He may only be my age, but it seems even a robot like Claudia has physical needs.”
    “And you, do you have physical needs too?”
    Her throat moved as she swallowed audibly. “This isn’t a good idea, Asher.”
    No, it wasn’t. But Ash wanted it anyway.
    “I need to take a shower and get dressed, and I’m guessing you need to go home and get some sleep if you’ve been up all night,” Lissa’s protest seemed halfhearted as Ash’s hands moved up to cup either side of her face.
    Ash knew his brother was still outside in the hallway, no doubt monitoring the amount of time Ash spent inside Lissa’s apartment. A detail Ethan would have to put in his report, which would no doubt result in Ash being called into the office later today and raked over the coals again by Gabriel.
    But for the moment, Ash didn’t give a damn about any of them. Here and now with Lissa, the hurt she hadn’t been able to hide at her parents’ selfish attitude toward her, and the musky scent of her arousal invading and capturing his senses, was all Ash cared about.
    He gave a low groan as his head lowered and he claimed her slightly parted lips with his own in a full-on kiss that demanded her response rather than asked for it.
    The kiss they’d shared yesterday had nowhere near satiated his hunger for this woman. He stroked his tongue against and then between her parted lips, claiming the moist heat inside as his tongue slid erotically along the length of hers.
    Ash’s tongue went deeper still when Lissa gasped and he moved his hands to cup her bare bottom. He enjoyed squeezing those delicious orbs before lifting her up and leaving her no choice but to wrap her legs about his waist, the heat of her pussy pressing against the hardness of his cock. Just as he’d imagined minutes ago.
    Except the reality was so much better than mere imagining.
    Lissa’s arms moved up over his shoulders, and her fingers became entangled in the hair at his nape. Her breasts were pressed against the hardness of Ash’s chest, and he began to rub his cock slowly along the length of her heated core. From the hitch in her breathing and the increased scent of her arousal, he knew he was hitting her clit with every stroke.
    He stepped forward, pinning Lissa in place between him and the wall, freeing his hands to pull her robe open and then taking it off completely. He broke the kiss, his lips traveling the length of her bared throat as he saw she now wore only a white cotton nightgown. Her breasts were full beneath it, nipples dark and swollen as they pressed against the material.
    Ash slipped off one of the thin shoulder straps and pulled the neckline down and underneath her breasts, baring them to the caress of his mouth and hands.
    She had the most gorgeous breasts. Full and round, and tipped by dark and aroused nipples that were begging to be played with and suckled.
    Lissa’s head dropped back against the wall, her fingers gripping his shoulders as she watched Asher part his lips and suck her nipple into his mouth. One of his hands continued to squeeze and caress her bottom. The other cupped her breast, squeezing and rolling the engorged nipple in the same rhythm that his mouth drew on its twin, both just short of pain.
    Her legs were still wrapped about Asher’s waist, the full length of his cock pressing against her throbbing clit as he pushed her farther up the wall with each powerful thrust of his hips. Her nether lips were swollen, her channel
