~Ace Romano~
When the girl you love asks you to kiss her and make things better, what choice do you have but to oblige, right?
I did what Lianna asked and damn did she taste heaven. It was nice to kiss her without using force. She was giving what I want without us fighting over it.
My hands stayed where they were as my lips molded perfectly with hers. One rested on the small of her back, keeping her close to me while I wrapped the other around her neck, tilting her face to give me more access to her sweet mouth.
Lianna’s hands fisted my shirt, tugging me towards her. Bending a little, I allowed her to pull me down to accommodate our height difference.
I don’t plan on taking things too far with her, not now. Scarin
~Lianna Black~“Please, say something.” Still inside me, Ace kept his gaze locked with mine. His icy gray eyes in turmoil, shoulders stiff and jaws clenching and unclenching.A few seconds more, his eyelids flutter close. The heavy intake of air he did was only making my chest constrict tightly. I had willed myself for the inevitable. He wouldn’t want this baby with me. However, it’s still so hard to accept that this is the reaction I’m getting from him.“I want you again, Lianna” Ace groaned, lifting me by my butt cheeks, and soon I was the one resting on the couch.Ace didn’t allow me to voice out a protest. With his huge stature between my legs, he wrapped my wanton legs around his waist. Kneeling in front of me, he pull
~Lianna Black~“What do you mean, Lian?” Alexa had been pacing our living room back and forth for about twenty minutes now.Ace agreed with my plan before we came back to my place. Our baby’s safety comes first and the more people who know about my pregnancy, the more danger there is for us.“It is what it is, Alex,” I said calmly.Alexa glared at me, seeing a glimpse of the heartless assassin that she is sending shivers all over my body. I’ve seen her like this once, when she was in Ace’s captivity. Just a look from her would have anyone cowering away.“You,” she snapped towards Ace, who was sitting calmly beside me on the loveseat couch.
~Lianna Black~Knowing my mother’s life had long been twinned with Ace’s father was an immense shock for me. I knew my father was not born a powerful man. It must be Ace’s father Dante had told me about when he held me captive with Mira’s assistance in Ragusa.I understand now where my father’s deep anger for the Italian mafia comes from. My mom had smitten both Arthur Black and Eugene Santino. She chose to be with my father and had Alexa and I along the way. My father blames Ace’s father for every misfortune in their relationship that had transpired from then on.“Dad will be our biggest problem,” I mumbled against Ace’s chest.After narrating my mother’s love story to me, Ace and I decided to stay in and order
~Lianna Black~Ace let out a snit when we heard a loud knock on the cabin.“Let the kids be, Arthur,” an unfamiliar voice sounded on the other side of the door.“I will kill your son for hurting my daughter!” my father growled angrily.Holding Ace’s hand, I flinched when another sound of gunfire reverberated outside the cabin. “Let me handle him,” I whispered to Ace.“No, he can’t take you away from me,” he stubbornly responded. We were whispering like we were the ones invading privacy instead of our fathers.“No one will take me away from you, Ace,” I cupped Ace’s face and pecked his lips. Reaching for
~Lianna Black~“Dad?” taking careful steps down the narrow staircase, I announced my presence. From one corner of the area, warm light met my eyes, and the faint smell of an old storage room mixed with scents of enamel and acrylic paints. “Dad?”As I reached the end of the stairs, I looked around and saw every furniture covered with white cloth. A bed rest on one side, few dusty books placed untidily on the shelves, and the huge lonely form of my father met my gaze. He was sitting in front of an easel. His shoulders gently roll up and down in sync with his hands, moving the brush on the bare canvas.“Dad,” I placed my hands on his shoulder. He didn’t flinch, but his hands stopped from moving gracefully.The canvas was painted with black and blue stormy colors. Both dark shades from two colors occupy the opposing side of the canvas. Lighter shades dance around the darker one. A fight for dominance, light and dark s
~Lianna Black~It was safe to say that I got my father to work with the Italian mafia. He had his own condition, though. And I’m regretting ever agreeing with him on this.One by one, Dad’s men came to the Romano estate. Most of them looked like normal human beings and not the assassin kind that I was picturing in my mind. I thought they’d be as stiff as my father, but they got along so well with Ace’s men. It made me happy that the alliance between Dad’s Black shadows group and the Italian mafia is finally happening.It caused a fuss in the underworld, of course. We prepared ourselves for this, but what I didn’t expect was Dad’s last condition.~~We gathered in the great room after my heart to heart talk with my father. I managed to make Eugene Santino and Arthur Black sit across from each other without burning the Romano estate down.Standing in front of the Italian mafia underbosses and capos, to
~Lianna Black~“Hold on, amore,” Ace urged, a glint of excitement painted on his beautiful face.It feels like we are kids trying to escape our parents from grounding us. A forbidden love that we wanted to prove that no matter how much hindrance they put in our path, we will still make it.We’ve jumped over five balconies from Alexa and I’s room, and as expected, I was the weakest link on our team. Alexa and Jonah were already on our destination in the garden behind the Romano estate, and they left Ace behind with me.Carefully, we take each step on the narrow ledge that will lead us to the back of the house. Twenty feet, I calculated the height that gravity will pull if my Converse slips on this dew damped ledge. From the shadowy glow of the esta
~Ace Romano~Lianna’s smooth palms were resting on my chest. Ashy locks sprawled on the white bedspreads, luscious lips slightly parted. Her breath fanning my jaw, urging me to seal the distance between our lips with one simple move. Cheeks tainted light crimson, which must be from the intense activity we had on this bed or just the glow of happiness that mimics the ones in her golden chocolate eyes.Tangled in each other’s arms. This is how I picture waking up beside her for the rest of my life. I can’t believe she’s wearing the ring I asked a friend to make. She’s my fiancee and I won’t let this chance slip away from me again.Kissing the top of Lianna’s head, I untangled her body from mine and stood up from our bed with a heavy sigh. I wanted to stay with her, but work is
~Lianna Black~ Waves. A music I grew to love and enjoyed, a song playing on repeat. The ocean would pull back the waves brought by the wind to shore, only to repeat the process. “Strip.” One word. A promise of another strenuous night, yet I did what my husband told me to do. We just finished twenty minutes of skinny dipping in the ocean. Our bodies are still dripping with salty cold water, yet I could feel my blood rushing through my veins. Ace sat himself back on the blanket where the clutter of our late dinner date was still evident. I was left standing in front of him, his waiting eyes challenging me to do as he instructed. Reaching for the string of my top, I watched as Ace’s icy gray eyes darkened under the moonligh
~Lianna Black~Six years later…Footprints on the sand, two pairs almost three sizes smaller than the other, made a clear path for me to follow. Laughter mingled with the lapping waters in the beach. The salty and cold touch of the ocean on my bare feet sent a tingly sensation straight to my contented heart.The sight of my husband not holding his Glock 19 is still the sweetest sight of him, apart from the look of him pleasuring my body, that is. He was holding a pink shovel and a blue pail, his bare legs shown by his surfboard shorts and his bare chest adorned by dust of white sands.He sat himself down on the sand, not a care in the world, his powerful legs spread languidly in front of him. His long inky hair that cascades down his shoulders, each locks long eno
~Lianna Black~I felt a warm breath on my neck followed by soft lips and tongue, stroking the curve of my skin. A moan escaped my mouth when the lips nibbled my earlobes and the hands traced my lacy panties. The hands pulled the elastic bands of my underwear and it stung my skin; it let go, but it felt fuckin’ good.“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, Alexa,” the deep raspy voice whispered in my ears, his voice so sexy and alluring, even against the music it was heavenly. And man, his spicy forest pine scent was so soothing to my senses and that woke up my sanity.I pushed the hands away from under my skirt and turned around to see the man behind me. He was a pleasant-looking man, no scratch that, he was a very attractive man. His lips, pinkish plum, well-carved nose, distinct high cheekbo
~Lianna Black~The feeling that I’m near the end of my life’s story is both sad and exciting. Will my life end in a painful death or will I find peace before I take my last breath?One thing is for sure, my life is never easy. Nothing in my life is a walk in the park. Even death.The sole of my bare feet leaves a damp foot shaped mark in every step I take. It’s getting warmer, must be because of the thick large sweater I was wearing or the sun rays that were hitting my face.Shadows of the boat’s metal skeleton railings passed by my sight as I ran. My breathing was uneven, my chest heaving hard – inhale, exhale – calm and steady. My throat was fighting the urge to breathe in a big deep inhale of sea air. To do so, I have to stop and that’s not an option.A silent prayer running through my mind when I saw men doing rounds on the upper deck. I managed to get out of the lower guest deck. I breathe out a curse
~Lianna Black~My chest was painful. Agonizingly hurting. There was an open wound in my chest, like a bottomless pit that was dug by my bare hands.I was staring blankly at the tablet screen. Gray, black, and white dots replaced the video I was watching. The little colors dance from left to right, right to left, over and over. I was silently hoping that the signal was just jammed. Because of the trees on this path we are taking or because of the mountain…The signal is poor.This is just poor signals.Holding onto the locket in my chest, it felt so cold against my skin. It was weighing like tons of bricks, pulling my head down, making me bow to my mistake.I shouldn’t have pushed Ace to save Hannah.It was wrong of me to regret my decision. Nothing will come out of it. Both of them are gone. Both of them are just memories in my life now.Ace is gone.He’s never coming back.My child will never m
~Lianna Black~Austin chuckled at my response. He had the nerve to sit on the couch, cross his leg over the other like he was watching a play in front of him.“You boyfriend will never leave this island without you,” he mumbled, shaking his head in resolution.“That’s not my problem now, right?” I huffed.Austin shook his head, his tawny eyes challenging me. “Yes. It is my problem and I have the perfect solution for this.” Motioning for his men to come out of hiding, a stout one approached him and handed over a table in his awaiting hands.“Did you grovel back to your father’s feet?” I inquired. Curiosity might just kill the cat.Austin’s hand stopped from scrolling on the screen, his face hardening as he lifted his gaze back at me.“He asked me.” Austin expounded, his tawny eyes burning with fire - angered by my insult. “He begged me to come back.&rdq
~Lianna Black~I like the sound of it. Mrs. Romano doesn’t sound so bad. In fact, it sounds… sweet, captivating. Just hearing Ace say it, allowing me to own his surname, made the butterflies in my tummy soar high before they burst into a beautiful electrifying sensation.“I’m going to kick your ass, Mr. Romano,” I teased. Permitting myself to smile, even amid this crazy attack.Our enemies clearly have the upper hand. They have the numbers as the ten speed boats seemed to have impregnated and doubled their counts.“You love this sexy ass, my wife,” Ace teased back, easily taking down another boat, aiming for the engine. I can imagine him smirking while we watch the passengers of that boat try to swim to the beach.
~Lianna Black~The golden mirror installed living rooms ceiling was giving a first class view of the erotic sight featuring Ace and I. Arching my back, I gasped as Ace pushed one of his suave fingers inside me, joining his darting tongue, poking my sensitive cavity in a sweet gesture.Grabbing onto his hair, I was shamelessly rubbing my sex into his awaiting mouth. Ace sucked on my lips, adding another probing finger in the intent of bringing me to a high. Sweat drenched my skin, undoubtedly drenching the rug under me as well.“So good…” he groaned, his fingers curling, touching my g spot that Ace magically found all the time. “So fucking good,” the squelching sound of his plunge and retreat making me moan louder, screaming his name out loud like sex craved woman. “Does it feel g
~Lianna Black~Ace planned everything smoothly for this trip. Even my clothes, from my underwear to swimsuit, he did it all in such a short time.Mia Lianna docked on a secluded island in the Caribbean. At least that’s what the captain informed us about our destination for the time being. If I thought the yacht was magnificent, this place where we are supposed to stay was even more. So much more that I don’t have the word for it.Apart from the fact that we are alone on this island, the mansion where we are headed right now on foot made my eyes dilate in excitement. It was almost like a glass house, a three story structure that reflects the endless clear blue water. As we stepped inside, my palms were starting to get slick with sweat. I’m glad that Ace’s hands were occupied with our luggage o
