AELLA I force a smile to my lips when an elderly woman walks towards us. She should be in her late seventies and I don't need a seer to tell me she is Ace's grandmother. Now I know where Ace got his looks, she is beautiful, she looks like a model out of a magazine or straight out of a fashion show. I don't know why, but I push my hand to my back in an attempt to hide the giant ring on my finger. This is my first time meeting Ace's family, and I honestly don't know how to act. She suddenly stops in front of Ace, I turn to look at him, and it is only then I realize how awkward they both are. "Madam Gigi" Okay, this is getting awkward, and I honestly would fancy a big glass of wine. She moves closer to Ace and touches his face. I grab his hand protectively when he flinches. "Thank you for coming Ace," she says, her voice breaking. She sniffs, turning to me. "You must be Aella; I have heard so much about you." I gasped shocked, when she hugged me. She smells like home, and fo
ACE I was furious, my heart was beating so fast it was a miracle that it couldn't be heard from the gate. No one speaks to Aella that way, no one is allowed to talk about her. They don't know what it took me to bring her here, they don't know how much I hated sharing her with humans. She is mine, she belongs to me. She is my person, and no one is allowed to hurt the only thing that makes me happy. I have been on edge since the day began, it got worse when Aella didn't even blink when I woke her up. I almost asked my men to drive us back home. She won't admit it, but she has been looking tired and sick these past few weeks. I have had the ring in my pocket for weeks, I had been thinking about how to propose to Aella. I want to own her, I want her to bear my name, I want her to call me husband, I want her to carry my children, and I will go crazy if that doesn't happen soon. I knew Aella would say no, she would never let me have things so easily, so I just slipped the ri
ACE Aella stares at me confused. "Oh, I didn't know you had a brother." Christain laughed, making my skin crawl in disgust. "Not by blood, unfortunately, Ace's mother could only have one child." "You piece of shit, don't you ever mention her name here." "Boys! Calm down, can we just try to be nice?" Madam Gigi comments, smoothening her forehead. She looks older and sick, I hate myself for noticing, I hate myself for being worried about her."Nice to meet you...?" "Christain. I am not surprised my brother didn't tell you about me. We have our moments.""Christ Christain, can you not start? you just met the lady." Rebecca speaks, eyeing her brother in disgust. Rebecca is the nicest out of everyone on this table, she was not even born when my mother died, and I was abandoned. We don't have a relationship, we see each other once a year during this charity event, she is a talker and when she manages to get me alone, she makes sure to fill me up on everything going on in her life
AELLA I leave Ace to dance with Gigi. I hope they settle their differences, Gigi looks like a cool person to me, it is so sad that a gorgeous woman like that has a hardened heart, how could she abandon her son's child, leaving him to fend for himself? I hastily make my way to the restroom, all the wine I had consumed has made my bladder full. I walk faster when I see Lysandra waving at me, I don't want to talk to her. "Chill Aella, I could swear you saw me earlier." "I didn't" I lie through my teeth. God help me so we can have a civilized conversation so I can use the restroom sooner rather than later. "Leave Ace alone, he deserves so much better." "I know, he deserves so much more. But if this conversation is about me leaving him for you, then you are laughable and downright pitiful." I say, tapping my feet to avoid peeing on myself. "I don't like you Aella." "I am glad we are both on the same page. I don't like you either." "I don't think you know him" Lysandra laug
AELLA After hours of sitting down on the tiny bathroom floor, I was more than happy to go home. Our men surround us the minute we come out, I let Ace carry me, I don't care about the nosy cameras around, I am so exhausted, my head is banging so bad, and my throat is dry from puking for too long.We leave the building undisturbed. I don't know if it is because we are surrounded by ten men, but I am glad nobody stops us, I am equally not in the mood to have a civil conversation with any human. Ace gently places me on my side and sits down facing me. I sigh relieved, when the car immediately starts moving. "Do you want me to hold you?" I would prefer to just stay on my own and think, but I know he isn't asking for me, he wants to hold me. Ace doesn't know how to ask, he thinks it makes him look weak, I move towards him, putting my legs on either side of his, so we can both pretend I am the one that desperately needs to be held. He immediately buries his face in my neck. "I don't
AELLA He leans down, capturing my lips. There is no closed-mouth peck. No sweet kisses to start, none of that. Ace's tongue sweeps into my mouth, tasting me. My tongue lashes against his, and his grip tightens on my hair, pulling me closer. "I have loved you since the first day I saw your picture Aella, years before you were even of age. I have loved you from afar, dreamt about you every night I managed to sleep, and planned a future with you even thou you had no idea that I existed. I fell harder for you again when I saw you for the first time at the club." Be still my heart. He loosens his grip on my hair but doesn't let go completely. "Before Mike went into hiding, pictures of you started going around, I saw your picture for the first time at a club in L.A. I couldn't stop looking at the beautiful lady with the red hair. Ryker saw me looking for too long, then told me you were Mike's daughter. Mike went into hiding a year later." I touch his mouth, running my thumb li
AELLA He cocks an eyebrow, running his thumb around his lips. I put my head down shyly when he continued to stare at me."Aella" He whispers, cupping my left breast and pinching my nipple till I moan. "I have come in you more than I have ever done with the other women I have fucked. Why would you think you don't please me?" I nod my head, earning another pinch on my nipple. "You know how much your voice turns me on. Talk to me.""I...I want you to show me...please""Show you what?" He wants me to say it, knowing Ace, he would spank me again if I refused to explain to him. "I want you to..." My face immediately becomes red. "Go on Angel, tell me." I close my eyes, "I want you to tie me up and fuck me, just like you did with them." "Why?" Fuck, why do I still need to explain? "I don't know," I whisper back in reply."Tell me, don't make me force it out of." My eyes immediately fly open. "I didn't like hearing it. I hate the fact that you slept with them, I am madder abou
AELLA "I am not going to tie your eyes because I like you looking at me. But don't touch me, I would tie your hands if you did." "Yes," I say, still breathless from my mind-blowing orgasm. "You are so fucking wet Aella, is this all for me?" "Yes," I am too exhausted to have any conversation with him."Let me taste you again." I shriek when I see the knife he is holding. "Nothing too much to hurt you, Aella." He has done this before, it was bearable. I scream when the knife presses into my skin, then he is lapping at my blood, sucking my cut shoulder as a man starved for it. "I always find myself in a rush for you. I don't know how to take it slow. Do you know why I have never used any of those toys?" "No...""I am always in a hurry to fuck you; I never want to stop when I start. I also find myself jealous of these toys, all your pleasure would come from me Aella. Don't touch me." He repeats, his eyes warning me. I am not prepared for his slaps. So, I scream my lungs out
