Page 120 of Billionaire Unbroken - Asher
“It wasn’t everything I wanted to give her,” I replied. “But you made me stop.”
Sierra chuckled. “Because my mother would have had a fit if we’d bought her one more thing. She got a whole new wardrobe and all of the things I wanted her to have. That’s special for me, Asher.”
I grinned. “She was dying to get home to show off her new clothes. She dumped us in a hurry for her friends back in Hollister.”
Sierra laughed, a sound that still made my gut ache.
I loved that carefree, happy sound coming from her lips.
“She can’t wait to see what happened in Hollister over the holidays,” Sierra agreed. “Her friends there mean a lot to her. She’s known them most of her life. But I know she hated to leave here. She really likes Millie and the rest of your family.”
“I’m hoping she’ll start to think of Crystal Fork as her second home,” I shared.
“I don’t think that will take much,” she said, amused. “By the time she left, I think she finally accepted the fact that we live in a mansion.”
I drained my glass and put it on the coffee table.
I took Sierra’s empty wine glass and put it beside mine before I pulled her closer to me.
“What about you?” I asked as I wrapped my arm around her waist. “Does this feel like home to you?”
Okay, I was a little nervous about hearing her answer, even though I knew she loved this house.
I’d already shared with Martha that I was going to ask Sierra to be my wife.
I had the ring in my office.
It hadn’t really felt right to ask Sierra before I’d asked her mother.
Yeah, she was a grown adult, but Sierra was still Martha’s baby girl.
Maybe I hadn’tquiteasked permission.
It had been more of an FYI thing.
There was no damn way that I was going to give her mom a chance to tell me that she didn’t think it was a good idea.
Strangely, her mother had agreed.
Over time, her misgivings were fading.
She was now convinced that Sierra and I would heal each other’s souls.
“I think this feels like the only home I’ve ever had as an adult,” she mused as she turned so she could kiss me. “But I think it has more to do with you than the actual house.”
Fucking hell!
I grasped the back of her head and kissed her, my heart aching because of the way I felt about this woman.
She was definitely a gift, and one that I’d never take for granted.
I was a guy who knew what lonely felt like, and I never wanted to go back there after being with Sierra.
The kiss got heated quickly, and Sierra started to tug at the buttons of my jeans.
“Let me, Asher,” she said in a persuasive, sexy voice that I knew well.
Let me…
