Chapter 53
Asher’s Pov
I walked through the VIP room, flanked by three mean looking bodyguards. They were tall and muscular, dressed in all black with dark s scanned the area, looking for Luca. It wasn’t hard to find him, as the club wasn’t fill that day, with not many people showing up on a Sunday night.
I walked up to him. “Luca,”

He was nursing a drink and spun around. “Goddammit, Ashell What are you doing here?
I pulled out a stool and sat across from him. “What do people do at clubs, Lucar I’m here to chill and drink. “I gestured to the bartender. The regular, please.”
The bartender nodded and began to fix my drink. Luca glanced at the hefty men standing behind me. “You don’t look like you’re here to chill at all you brought the bodyguards in?”
I nodded, “There’s no way in hell I’m coming to your club without security. Someone’s got to watch my back while you’re doing whatever the hell it is you do… Why are you at the club on a Sunday, Luca?” Lasked after a second thought.
He shook his head. “Will ever hear the end of it?”
1shook my head. “No. No, you s
won’t.”
He sighed. “You really have no memory of what happened that night at the club? Or after?”
“No.“I grabbed my glass of whiskey and took a sip. “No, I don’t”
“And you still haven’t told hy?”
I shook my head.
“And how’s that working for you?” he inquired.
“Great–well, fairly good,” I answered. “I and Ivy are fairly good.” She was still a tough nut to crack, I took another long sip. “Enough about that night. I’m here for serious business. I need your help with something, Luca
His brows perked up. “What is it?”
“I need to meet with the blonde girl, you know the one–what was her name again?” I tried to rack my brain to remember her name.
It took a while for Luca to remember too. “Kat?”
“Yes, I guess…” I had called her Ivy all night. I had forgotten her name the moment she told me.
Luca gave me a long, suspicious look. “What do you want with her?” he asked. “If you’re trying to cheat on hymnot helping her…” He caught the look in my eye. “Oh, just chill, brother” He chuckled. “I don’t mean it in that way. Surely, you know what to call,
I did; I just wanted to pull his leg. “No, I don’t….
th that I really like
“Seriously, I’m not helping you cheat on tvy. She’s a good woman,” he insisted. “Good women like that don’t come your way every time. I won’t let you
ruin this one.”
Esmiled. “Of course, I know that. I’m not trying to cheat. Ed never, ifI didn’t sleep with Kat the first night we met, I’m not trying to sleep with her now… –
He gave me a long look before he pulled out his phone and called her “Hello, Kat I need you in VR
I passed my glass to the bartender for a refill. “On a serious note, Luca. You need to get yourself a girl or a hobby. You can’t be at the club every other

night…
“And yet here you are…..”
“I’m here to meet with you.”
He glanced at the men behind me. “Would they at least sit? They are making all the guests rier vous.”
Ichuckled. “Have a seat, guys!”
Not too long after, kat arrived. She was wearing a sparkly reel bikini with thigh high boots and fishnets. Her eyes lit up when the saw me “Hey, M. Call- me–ly..
I was drunk
Luca’s eyes widened in amusement, “Really, man?”
“He wanted me to pretend I was hry,” she explained. “And so I did,” she said with a shrug. “It was cool cash.”
I buried my face in my hands and let out a deep sigh
“You have it really bad, Asher, Really bad,” Luca said and burst into laughter,
I caught a few piggles from my security. I peered at Kat, who was staring at me innocently.
“Thank you very much, Kat, for sharing that vital piece of information in front of everyone,” I replied.
She put her hand on her chest and tipped her head in a mocking bow. “Thank you very much, Mr. Call–me….
Luca stifled a laugh, and the man behind snickered.
I leaned back in my chair. “Okay, just laugh out loud, guys”
Tasked.
As if on cue, they all burst into laughter, including Kat. I sat in silence, “Is it out of your system yet?” I a
Luca was the last to quiet down. “Yes, it is. So what’s the deal!”
“Can we talk somewhere private?”
Luca led Kat and I to a private booth.
“I’m trying to m
make Ivy jealous…” I began.
“And so I need you, Kat, to pose as my lover…”
“You really like her, don’t you?” Kat asked with a smile.
I glanced at her and nodded. “Yes, yes, I do.”
“A hundred grand, eighty if we are fucking, and that’s because ike you,” she said with a wide smile.
“No.
THE
, we are not,” Treplied. “I’m trying to get her to fuck me
She gave me a look.
“No, it’s not a skill issue,” Ichirped in “lvy doght want to let down her defenses sighed. She keeps holding back for some unexplainable reason it’s hard…” I trailed off.
