It wasn’t a lie. Now that Ace and I were spending so much alone time together, my mom was complaining about how little she saw me and made me promise to eat dinner with the family at least three times a week. Ace followed behind me as I walked to the foyer to grab my…

For fuck’s sake. “I’m not talking to you right now, but if I were talking to you, I would say that if you don’t want to see me cry, you should stop being such a buttface and tell me what’s going on.” “Doe,” he groaned, “I want to tell you. You have to know that….

“Did you just threaten my brother?” I asked Ace in a low whisper. Everyone around us was too busy digging into their food to notice my death glare. Ace scooped some spaghetti onto my plate, serving me first, as always. “Of course not.” He put a hand on the back of my neck, leaned over,…

His lips turned up, and his eyes traveled down my body to where I was shamelessly grinding myself against his hand. I hadn’t even realized I was moving. “You can always tell me no”—his smug eyes found mine again—“but I get the feeling you want to say yes.” He was right. I did want to…

But I’d obviously got him more worked up because he was barely pausing at the stop signs. The world moved past us in a blur, making my heart race. It was kind of exhilarating. When he did have to stop at a red light, he grabbed me by my chin, smashed his lips against mine,…

He looked down at me, taking in my appearance with a calculating expression before backing away. I didn’t miss the way his eyes flashed while he studied me. Was it out of anger or lust? I propped myself up on my elbows so I could watch him. He stood at the edge of the bed,…

“Do you have any idea how insane I went last night?” he asked. “I was on the brink of murdering everyone within a fucking ten-mile radius! “I thought you’d been taken, Doe. I thought someone had stolen you from me and was torturing you in a basement somewhere while you cried out for me. That…
