Ace POV

Alley squeezed my hand so tight I wondered how the hell such a little girl was so strong but I didn't mind either. My head went blank the second I saw a pool of blood under her feet. I think I knew she wasn't going to die but I had never seen so much blood. I knew she felt sick all of sudden from the blood loss and my mind instantly went to the worst case scenario.

My body just took over and every action after that moment became automatic. I didn't say a word and didn't even register what Derek had said anymore. I needed Alley to be ok then I could resume living mode.

She only needed 3 stitches and they would dissolve in a week. Other than keeping off her feet as much as possible she was good. I drove Derek home in silence as a million thoughts attacked my brain.

Did he really think I was like my father? That I would hurt Alley? One thing was for sure, I was not good enough for Alley in his eyes. I have to agree with him on that point but to completely disregard me as anything

    Ace POVI left for the city straight after our game Friday night but every mile I traveled away from Alley I felt my body ripping apart. I hated myself for the way I treated her all week but mostly I hated myself for missing out on this night with her. It was her first dance, first time wearing a pretty dress and spending the night out just being a kid at a stupid school dance.I imagined her in a hundred different dresses wanting to know desperately what color she picked. Long or short? Sparkly? Satin or cotton? I spent a few hours sipping whiskey at the lounge with associates from multiple companies my father owned and all I wanted to do was punch each of them in the face. Imagining how I could make them bleed was becoming my new way to feel calm. Elise was there again and she made sure to flaunt her body in front of me. Leaning into my side, stealing touches as her hand slid over my arm, and of course the long stares while her eyes trailed over my body. It wasn't like how Alley's

Usually, the three of us spend Christmas break together. Ace always had some charities to attend to, but was never gone for more than a day.I sent so many messages to him that I knew I was bordering pathetic. I had so much I wanted to say to him but he wouldn't listen. If we didn't have a screaming match soon, I would surely explode.Christmas Eve, I spent in bed with movies playing in the background. Derek offered to stay home with me but I just wanted to be alone. Layla, Ethan and Katie had their family events to be at so I took this time to just wallow in self-pity. Besides my mom barely knew what day it was let alone it was a holiday so there wasn't much else to do. Even if she did, I would be the last person she wanted to spend time with and I was thankful for that. My phone was on my pillow with Ace's m

It would be filled with drunk kids and a mass amount of drugs. Alvarez was the head of the drug operation in our town and he was of course put into place by my father. Tonight was his biggest night all year. Kids bought thousands of dollars' worth of shit and as much as we tried to keep the Lake scene away from the heavy drugs it always showed up in large amounts this night.I had already seen the shipment that was sent to Alvarez last week and it was filled with ecstasy, molly and acid. There was no way I was leaving Alley in the hands of Derek or Ethan at that party. I packed my stuff and told Daniel change of plan. He of course didn't question me and got his stuff together after rebooking our flights.I didn't even tell my father. I knew he would stay in the city for at least a week and I was looking forward to having the house to myself. It was

    Alley POVThe devil of my dreams was grinding against me, demanding I was his tonight. I won't deny it felt so amazing how his body reacted to mine but I wasn't a fool. He was claiming me as his weekend whore and I would never be just some ass for him to fuck. I should have told him to fuck off but I was weak for his attention. I was becoming that pathetic girl pinning over a man that would only use her up and throw her away. I hated it, yet never felt so fucking good in my life right now. His mouth molded to mine, his body pressed to mine, and his very large hard cock rubbing back and forth against me was driving my body wild.He finally broke the kiss leaving both of us gasping for air. "Now Alley. Let's go." He demanded and I burst out laughing."Told you I would win dipshit. You always crack first."

In fact, I think it just increased ten folds. I wasn't holding back this time. I wasn't boyfriend material, but I was a fuck boy and damn was I going to have her. I followed her out of the water, getting harder every second she revealed more of her body. This fucking vixen was wearing skimpy ass lingerie. Where the hell did she get this shit from?I grabbed her hand, stopping her where the water was just below her knees. "Stay!" I ordered."Fuck you!" She spat and I spank her ass. "Don't disobey me or I'll make sure my hand print is bruised on that ass for a week." I warnedShe bit her lip and squeezed her thighs together. Shit! She was going to be so much trouble.I walked out of the water grabbing a blanket Ethan retrieved from the truck. I walked ankle deep and crooked my finger for her to come.I

It was well after midnight and honestly after the amazing orgasm Christian just gave me my legs were a bit wobbly. Was that supposed to happen? So much I didn't know but loved how he constantly forced me into the unknown."So, anything you want to talk about?" Ethan asks opening his door."Nope."We were silent a few minutes driving out of the woods. I wasn't sure what to say and suddenly felt a little awkward. Not from Ethan, just from everything. The beer and weed did go to my head fast, but that was hours ago and I was already passed my high. Now I was just exhausted but my mind just kept replaying every moment with Ace. The way he showed up there and never took his eyes off me, watching me kiss Ethan while he kissed Jess, how he blew smoke in my mouth, dancing, actually dancing, and then the whole lake thing.

    Alley POV"Are you saying my son is a problem. I can assure you he is the least of your worries." Christian's tall muscular frame was backing up a perky little woman against a wall. I rolled my eyes with a sigh. Such a brute, especially when it came to his kids."Calm down there, Varsity dip shit." I pulled his shoulder away from the scared woman. Christian's eyes turned dark on me and I just raised my eyebrows at him. My fingers touched my necklace, one he had made for me on my sixteenth birthday but gave to me years later. He was my forever, our love and bond infinite, and he will be a good boy that listened."This woman said Darien seems distracted. She thinks he's been the one pranking the principal. I want to speak to this so called principal!" His voice softened as he spoke to me, but it still held a demand in his tone. "This woman is his teacher and is harmless. We know our son and I'm sure he has been causing some havoc. Sit and calm yourself." I pushed him down in a small cl

So much rage was coursing through my body and I was doing everything in my power not to grab the cake next to me and smash it in that motherfucker's face."What just happened?" Greg asked. He was still playing catch up."Ace faked his death. I'm going to kill him." All the pain I felt the last six months and he was alive? He was just hiding out, lying to all of us to keep us safe. That was bullshit, he was a motherfucker."Whoa! Alley's about to go lethal." Ethan and Daniel were next to me now as I watched Ace kneeling down speaking to Darien and Derek. He did look really hot and how he played with the boys was making my body call to him. No! He pays first."He lied to us." My head shot to Daniel. He knew too."Calm down. Remember you are with child Alley." Daniel had his hands up in the air in surrender."What's happening? I love when Alley goes psycho!" Elise said way too happy at my anger. Lyd

Losing Ace was just as hard, if not harder, than losing my brother and I would never get over losing either one of them.Daniel and his partner Rowan survived the explosion, but had some scars on their face and arms. I was beyond thankful they made it out alive and thought they just looked more bad ass now. Today Greg, Lydia, Darien, Derek, and myself were driving up to Daniel's summer home in Rhode Island to celebrate his engagement to Elise and his official promotion. Ethan and Layla had the baby girls in tow behind us and I looked back to them in my rear view mirror with a smile. For some reason, I was really, really excited about this weekend trip. We hadn't all spent time together in months and I wanted to be surround by my family for the whole weekend.

I wish I could say it was easier to walk away for my son. I would always choose Darien above Christian, but it didn't mean it made my decision to leave any less harder.I cried in Ethan's chest the whole plane ride home, swearing I would never step foot on one of these again. The second I did get home Darien and Derek were there welcoming me with tears. That did make my sadness a little more bearable.

He knew I wasn't sleeping anytime soon and Ethan needed to be with his wife.

On top of that, once they arrested my boss IA moved in our department. Within a few hours I was assigned as the temporary head of the criminal organization task force and had one sorry ass fucker with a stick up his ass questioning my every move."So, you've worked undercover for seven years with this," a studious prick with four inch thick glasses looked over his paperwork, "ah, Christian Ace Blackwood?""Yes! We discussed this two hours ago. It's not that hard of name to remember either.""I see, yes. I'm just curious if maybe you've been too deep undercover. Seven years is a long time and you seem to have an unhealthy relationship with this murder." The IA agent looked in Ace's room with disgust. He was a murder, but they didn't know his story. He didn't kill randomly and never hurt someone innocent. I can't explain that in any ra

    Ace POVI stood in front of my wall length mirror adjusting my tie. I haven't looked myself in the eye in a week and I wasn't sure if I liked the man staring back at me. I had my black suit on, black tie, and white shirt. Tonight was about ending as much of the bullshit as possible so I kept it simple. My jet black hair was still a little wet and slicked off to the side. The best feature of my whole body were these eyes and that was because they didn't belong to him. Well one other part of my body but he wasn't getting any attention tonight. I used to see my father in the mirror and fucking hated it more than anything. Despite knowing I was a good looking man I would give anything to change my appearance. To look less like that monster that raised me. Now I say that little boy. A smile tugged at my lips seeing his little face with so much power in it. He was a confident little shit and would grow up to be a man that did what he wanted.
