Nara Asher kissed my lips. A chaste kiss, soft and quick, yet it still sent my heart racing. What was he thinking? He has a mate, and I have mine, yet I didn’t pull away, even though I had seen it coming. He lay his head on the table, and our eyes remained locked. We stayed like that for a long time until Serena walked in, cradling a crying baby in her arms. I jumped to my feet and took Rhys from her. "I think he's hungry," she mutters, shooting a glare at both Asher and me, and I'm taken aback. She has been warning me to stay away from Asher, saying he is a ladies' man. The tension in the room is palpable, and I sit on the chair, back slightly turned as I begin to feed Rhys. My cousin, Sonny, walks into the library. “Why the tension?” he asks, glaring down at Asher, who ignores him.
