Ashton Scott is not my type. He’s arrogant and presumptuous, and way too bossy for me. The man is persistent, though.

And like I said, when Ashton Scott wants something, nothing stops him. He’s sexy AF. He wears a suit like nobody’s business. And his bossiness turns me on in ways I can’t understand. But I’m not going down without a fight. Or at least, I wasn’t.
