"Please," I begged, feeling my eyes getting moist again.His body lay on the couch, his eyes again fixed on me, filled with an unreadable emotion."Why?" I asked, curling up inside the blanket.He stayed silent, just staring at me softly, his gaze steady and unwavering.I sighed, feeling my eyes get
Our height differences sometimes irritate and annoy me.II scooped her up effortlessly and placed her on the kitchen counter, our lips still locked in a greedy passion."Do you remember what today is?" she gasped, her breathing heavy from our kiss.I furrowed my brow slightly, my hands tracing the s
"Who wants to roam around in the heat of the day anyway?" she added with a playful smile."So, what are we going to do in the meantime?" I asked, munching on a chopped carrot from a bowl."Relax, Ace. You can do whatever you want here. Don't be so uptight and work-focused all the time," she replied,
Ace POV:A black eye peered at me through thick, white glasses, a hint of confusion evident.Iris quickly moved my hand behind me, concealing the gun."Mama!" Iris called out, her voice ringing with affection.Her small hands clung tightly to the woman's large belly."Oh! Baby look at you," the wom
I smiled in understanding and nodded along."Papa, do you want orange juice?" Iris interrupted our moment, appearing before us with a tray in hand."Gracias," Mateo replied, his expression serene as he accepted the juice from her."Thank you, Mini Bear," I whispered, meeting her gaze with affection.
"The kids in the building distanced themselves from her because they thought she was a cursed child just because of her demure nature," he snickered bitterly."She stays inside her room and looks at other children through the window when they play. After some months Iris stopped asking the kids to p
A low groan escaped me as we bumped into a small table.Her hand found its way to my pendant as she kissed me deeply.It felt like we were breathing into each other.Once again, we stumbled, this time over a steel box. Freaking god.In a swift motion, I fisted her frock and slid it upward, revealing
She reached up, tugging on my pendant, drawing our faces closer until our noses brushed against each other."I... I..." she stammered, her breath coming in quick, shallow pants as she closed her eyes againIt felt different. We felt different. Slow, intimate lovemaking. Nothing erotic, and fetish.
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
