morphs into an irrational anger at his gall.
    Groaning , he rubs his hands over his face and through his hair. “I’m someone who’s been in here a few more times than you. I know the type of crowd that hangs out here and you, siren, are not that type.” He throws a disgusted look at me.
    “What? I’m not good enough to be here? Is that what you’re saying, pretty boy?” I spit out , forcing my irritation out with the statement.
    “It’s the opposite .”
    I’m confused. “What?”
    “You’re too good to be here.”
    “Meaning?” I question, stunned.
    “It means you need to leave , now.”
    “No ,” I snapped, taking a step forward and crossing my arms.
    His eyes go wide, fists tightening at his sides. “No?” Asher repeats, shocked, as if no one has ever said the word to him before.
    I smirk. “That’s what I s aid, using the English language, I might add.” I throw his words back at him as I stand in defiance.
    Bewildered , he prowls at me like a panther, crossing the distance between us. “You think you can handle what’s in here?” His voice is low and threatening, vibrating through me and rattling my soul.
    Shaken at his power, I retreat until my back hits the wall again and forces me still. My breath is erratic as my heart beats against my rib cage furiously.
    Asher stops within a breath of me . Frustrated, he moves forward, closing the space. Pressing his body against mine, he holds me in place to the wall. He slides his knee between my parted legs and grabs my wrists in his large hands, pinning them to the wall at my sides. His eyes force mine to unite with his. Our uneven breaths mix. One slight move between either of us and our lips would be touching.
    He just watches me . “You have no idea what type of fucking crowd comes in here. Now, do us all a favor and run along, siren,” he says, clearly pissed off.
    I’ve decided I’ m not going to allow him to boss me around. “No.” It comes out breathy.
    Asher’s eyes drop to my rapidly rising and falling chest. Then his gaze lifts to my parted lips, which I lick subconsciously, causing a deep noise to form in the back of his throat. At the raw release, a feverish and nonsensical need for him to kiss me blooms.
    His face is uncertain as he leans closer. I hold my breath in anticipation, my mind begging for his lips to brush mine, just once. I realize that’s irrational since he irritates the crap out of me but I’m no longer in control of my brain synapses. My body is focused on my wrists where he is holding them. The skin burns with heat under his touch.
    I tr y not to look at him, but he is staring at me with the same inexplicable look of frustration on his face as before. As quickly as it started, the spell is broken. His broad shoulders stiffen and he pushes himself away from me. My body shudders at the loss of contact and warmth he emitted.
    “ Fuckkk,” he draws out, puzzled by the unexpected pull and tension happening between us. He runs his hands through his hair before interlacing them behind his head, standing at his full height and facing away from me.
    I stand there, watching him. Confusion sets in from his erratic emotions, which are irritating me to the point of wanting to physically harm him now.
    Asher turns around. I look down. His hands are clenched into hard fists. “Your innocence and lack of understanding is going to get you killed. It draws them and me to you like a god damn beacon,” he growls at me through a tight jaw.
    “Wha t?” I ask, not following a word he’s said.
    Asher blows out a harsh breath. “This,” he motions between us, “is not happening so do us all a favor and just leave.” His voice is laced with an edge meant to intimidate me.
    My throat constricts, making it impossible to speak. Unsure of what just happened, I push off the wall and brush past him in anger, heading to the table without a backward glance.
    Once I reach the girls, Aria’s eyes soften in understanding. She grabs my
