I placed my hand in his, eager for the contact. The small table between us suddenly felt extremely large. I needed to be closer. “Shit,” Ace said under his breath. “Shit.” Ace pulled my hand closer, pressing his lips to my skin. Sparks exploded up my arm and I gasped. “What?” I asked breathlessly. Whoa,…

After kissing me for several seconds, he pulled back. “Thank you, Doe,” he breathed against my lips. “You won’t regret giving me your trust again. I promise.” “Mm-hmm,” I hummed absentmindedly, clutching his huge biceps. My brain felt muddled after that kiss. I wanted more. I wanted to drown in him forever. “Just take me…

Somehow, I believed him. It was irrational of me to think Ace was cheating on me despite knowing how strong our love for each other was. He would never do something like that to me. I sighed in relief. “Okay. Okay, good.” “Can I take you home now?” Ace asked. “You can barely keep yourself…

Whatever had happened, all I knew was that I needed to be with Ace. I took another step closer…and another. Ace held my gaze as I approached, and with every inch I neared him, a little more of the weight on my shoulders lifted. I blinked. What the hell am I doing? ?I felt deranged….
