Ace POV:“Give her time,” Aiden said, his hand on my shoulder offering a brief, comforting squeeze.I sighed heavily, running a frustrated hand over my face.“Ace, Susan is with her. Just give her some... time,” Hudson’s voice was calm but laced with concern.“She’s fine, just a little shaken from e
I moved with deliberate intent, bending down to carefully remove her clothes.Her eyes followed my movements with a mixture of curiosity and silence, her breath catching slightly as each garment was removed.Once we were both completely bare, I settled beside her on the bed, pulling the thick, warm
“Chiunque tenti di rubarlo. Li ucciderò, con piacere (Whoever tries to steal it, I will kill them, pleasurably)” I said smiling, my words filled with both a hint of menace and a promise.A yawn escaped her lips, and she rubbed her eyes.“Sleep, Amore mio,” I uttered softly, my voice gentle and sooth
“Shut up,” I said, my tone icy.“Good morning, kids,” Alex said cheerfully as he walked in with Iris.She followed closely, dressed in a turtleneck sweater tucked into her pants, paired with black platform boots and a fluffy black hat.A gasp escaped her lips as she looked at the array of food befor
Moments later, she came sprinting back, breathless but smiling.“Here,” she said, extending my bag towards me with a cheerful grin.“Thank you, Amore mio,” I said, returning her smile as I took the bag from her.She settled beside me, looking satisfied with her little gesture.I frowned as I delved
“Welcome home,” she said, her eyes sparkling with genuine warmth.I sighed deeply, letting the tension in my shoulders ease as I gently palmed her face. “Mini…”I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead and pulled her into a comforting hug, doing my best to soothe the frustration that had been building
“I don’t think… we should behave like this when your friends are here,” she murmured, her fingers running soothingly through my hair.I sighed in contentment, my voice husky as I responded, “Bambi, after a day like today, this is exactly what I need.”My hands roamed, cupping her chest with a boldne
If they weren’t here, I’d be in bed fucking my girl into oblivion.The past few weeks had been chaotic with deals, meetings, and the incident at the café, leaving us with barely any quality time together.“Then the girl slapped her friend and just... Puff! Girl’s fight,” she signed with a disappoint
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
