"The zipper of the red dress you told me to wear doesn't work. I tried several times to fix it but couldn't. And it was all the time falling off my shoulder exposing the chest." Scarlet told him feeling shy with her eyes cast downwards while biting her lip.

Ace took a step forward, put his finger under her chin and gently raised up her head. "How many times should I tell you to look at the person you are talking to and talk? And why are you biting your lip?" He scolded her softly like one does to a child and released the lip from her teeth with the pad of his thumb.

"There is nothing wrong you have done that you should feel guilty about. I should have checked the dress before I gave it to you to wear." His hands reached down to her cheeks cupping them, bent his head and kissed her forehead.

What is the impression you create on her with actions like this?" She pointed to his wobbly legs."Thankfully Angel is asleep. Otherwise I wouldn't know how I could hide you from her." Scarlet spoke in abhorrence."Uh uh sweetheart, I know as long as you are with me there is nothing I need to fear about my daughter." Ace spoke, holding her chin. Even in his drunkenness he w

"Darling, if we need to sleep beside one another, we do not need a couch. We can as well sleep on the bed. A couch is to sleep one above the other." A naughty smile was playing on his lips. Scarlet places Vance in his little bassinet and walks to the couch. Ace sleeps sideways behind Scarlet. Covering them in a blanket, he places his hand around her chest squeezing and fondling her breasts. He slightly pulls her pants down and enters from behind her. "Angel might wake up."

It increases my heartbeat, causing tension in my arteries. It increases my cortisol levels, testosterone decreases. The left hemisphere in my brain is stimulated." Rickey said going hysterical while pulling the hairs on his head. Sania was frightened seeing his changing personality. She took several steps back from him. It wasn't usual for Rickey to behave in such a way. She had been seeing him since his diaper days and found his body language suspicious. "Rickey you are behaving like an imbecile.
