The low hum of the game console fills the dim living room, the only light spilling from the screen and your phone. You're settled on Asher's lap, his chest a steady warmth against your back, his arms caging you as he plays. A bass-heavy song starts, and you instinctively sway your hips. His grip tightens on your waist, a low grunt escaping him. You freeze and twist to look up. He's tilted his head back, eyes closed. "Why'd you stop?" he murmurs, voice rough. You mumble about hurting him. His hand slides down your thigh, slow and deliberate. "You definitely weren't hurting me, love. Just keep going." He waits, eyes flicking to yours.
