Can Asher tame the wild beast or will Pepper burn him to crisp? *************** "Asher!" "Honey… I am home" The man Pepper got married to earlier said with a big old smile. Pepper screamed louder. Asher watched the woman in front of him and he watched his wristwatch. Great! It's been two minutes and her mouth was still open and his eardrum was about to be damaged. He grabbed her shoulders and he rubbed his hand in a parallel motion on them. "Stop. Screaming!" He begged her but Pepper just kept on screaming. Taking a deep breath, Asher pressed his mouth into hers to shut her up. It was night and people might call the cops if she kept yelling like she just saw a cockroach in her oatmeal. Pepper’s eyes were wide open as the shock of being kissed without permission went through her. She simply stomped Asher's foot as hard as he could and he stopped kissing her. "Ouch! That really hurts" Asher complained while he hopped on one foot. "You don't kiss me without prior permission, pervert or touch me or breathe. In fact right this moment, you should minimize how much air you take in, in my expensive apartment" Pepper waved her hand as she talked. "God! You must have been a general in the army in your past life. That or you were Cinderella's stepmom" Asher finally stopped hopping. "What are you doing here?" Pepper asked him. "Yeah! I think we got married...for real" Asher whispered to her like it was a secret he was trying to keep from getting out. "I know I was there" Pepper yelled like she was disgusted. Asher waited about two seconds for her to feel whatever she was feeling before he made his proposition. "I want an annulment, darling wife. Staying married to you will reduce my lifespan considerably" Asher had a straight face and he nodded like it made perfect sense. Pepper clasped her hand together as she thought of a solution to their dilemma. "Annulment...no, I can't give you that until Angel Michael let's my Gramps into heaven. Apparently, he is unfulfilled and…" pepper was interrupted by Asher. "Wait! Gramps is still alive?" Asher asked her. Cover is not mine.

Chapter 16: Asher is a traitor

Chapter 16: Asher is a traitor

Pepper glared at him. He was currently at number six of what he wanted from her. Pepper wondered why someone who looks like an angel could be a mini devil sent to her house to torment her.

She blinked at the seventh request. She was certain now, Asher was certifiable. Who does he think she was? his seventh request wasn't just outrageous but it made Pepper take a step closer. She was standing so close to him.

"I am sorry, what?" Pepper asked him.

Asher took a step back for his own safety. He wasn't a lunatic. He knew that poking a dragon would lead to being consumed by flame. Asher was playing with flame and somehow he was both terrified and excited.

"Could you please repeat what you just told me?" Pepper said and took a step closer to him.

"I said it's only fair that we consummate our marriage….I mean, it's not like you have a lot of options" Asher whispered with a smirk.

Pepper was suddenly nervous and she played with her hair. What exactly was Asher talking about? What does he know that she doesn't?

"Have you been talking to Junie? Because I have options.  I make love with different men every single day….I..I..I am the goddess of sexy…okay? Aphrodite has nothing on this booty" 

Asher stared at her like he was looking at an alien. Why was Pepper nervous? Then it clicked on him, was the Queen of nasty attitude a virgin?

"I am sexy…with a killer body….men should consider themselves lucky to have me. Consider yourself blessed to have access to my lips…" Pepper stopped mumbling when she saw the look on Asher's face.

"What?!" She screamed at him 

"Nothing" Asher murmured.

"Well, get it into your thick skull that I have…options…a lot of it"

"Fine. I agree with you, goddess of sexy. There will be no sex" Asher said and tried to leave.

So far, he has forced her into doing seven things for him. He could kiss her without death knocking on his door, she would be involved in the day to day activities of his daughter. 

Pepper would go on date night and be nice to him at least twice a week. There will be no more electrocution and he was allowed to sleep in her bed. Pepper accepted begrudgingly.

Asher wanted to go back to the sitting room and lie with a straight face to Gramps when pepper stopped him.

"Why?" 

"Why what?"

"You said there will be no sex. Wait? Do you not find me sexy? Do you think I am ugly?" Pepper with a squeezed face.

"I am sorry. Do you want to sleep with me?" He asked her.

"Ew! Of course not, I barely know you" Pepper answered with a disgusted face.

"But you don't like that I said that there will be no sex?" Asher asked with one eye dimmed. "Let me get this clear, when you don't want me, it is fine but when I say I don't want you, it's a…problem?"

Asher gave up, there was no winning when it came to Pepper.

"Yeah! I mean, have you seen me? I am gorgeous. I am super. I am intelligent. I am an Angelina jolie lookalike if she was half Asian. I mean…" Pepper turned to face the mirror "...I am exotic"

Asher exhaled and blinked to refocus his confused brain. He pointed at the door and then he raised his hand up like he was surrending.

"I am going to slowly open the door now because frankly, you are insane and I am scared"

Asher moved slowly around her and he opened the door.

"Asher?"

"Yes, Pepper"

"Remember to tell my grandfather that you are madly in love with me and I am the best person you know" Pepper told him.

"So…I should lie?" 

"Yes! Asher, lie" Pepper said through her clenched jaw.

As soon as Asher left the bathroom, Pepper looked at the mirror. She examined her reflection for a while.

Could he tell that she was clueless when it came to sex? that the closest she came to getting rid of her virginity was with a man who ended up having a heart attack on top of her? and how mortifying it was explaining to the paramedics what strenuous activity he was doing when the said heart attack happened.

"I am beautiful!" Pepper screamed one more time before she joined her Gramps and Asher in the living room.

"Hey, Gramps. I see that you like my...my lovely husband" Pepper said with a big smile.

"Callie, he was just telling me how you first met in a courthouse parking lot"

Pepper felt everything go by her in a slow motion.

"Asher, you traitor!"
