I am so damn weak."Would you like it if I went there alone?" she whispered, and for the first time, I let my walls crack. "I want you there with me."The way she said it, the way she framed it, made my chest tighten. I couldn’t ignore it anymore. "I want them to know you’re my boyfriend," she said
Author POV:A pair of drowsy hazel bedroom eyes flickered open, glancing lazily at the clock on the wall. The hands read 7:39 in the evening. The distant sound of running water echoed softly in the background, blending seamlessly with the quiet ambiance of the room. The soft glow of the setting su
Pushing him now would only aggravate him.A faint smile tugged at Ace’s lips as his eyes fell on her penguin-patterned boyshorts.“You’re not getting ready?” Iris asked, her voice gentle, her gaze soft as Snacks continued his enthusiastic exploration of Ace’s hair.Ace responded with a cold, detache
Her gaze followed his hands as he grasped her right calf, lifting her foot onto his knee with a gentle yet deliberate motion. Iris licked her lips, her breath hitching slightly as she stared at him from this angle. For the first time, a new sensation coursed through her— excitement mixed with anti
Her curiosity grew as she watched him braid another section of her hair, each movement precise and intentional.After fifteen minutes, a soft groan echoed in the room as Ace struggled to manage a few stubborn strands, trying to perfect the braided, messy bun he was crafting. Despite his frustration
His hand slid under the fabric of her dress, his fingers finding the garter with ease.The slit in the dress provided easy access to her inner thigh, his fingers playing with the delicate garter she wore.Her nerves spiked, and she released a shaky exhale, her fingers instinctively curling into his
Alongside them, a pair of black wedge sandals swayed gently. Ace held them out to her, his expression unreadable.She quickly took the earrings and sandals from him, her fingers brushing against his momentarily. Without a word, she turned and walked out of the room, seeking refuge from the overwhe
If there were this many outside, I could only imagine how many filled the massive garage. I want to go home.“Queen,” Ares’s voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. He approached from behind, his presence steady and reassuring as always.“Let’s just hope nothing goes wrong
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
