My mouth dropped open. “I’m not an object, Ace! You can’t just own me!” “And yet, I do,” he stated casually. “What else did he say?” “No, you don’t just get to say you own me—” “Doe, don’t test me. I’m not in the mood,” Ace snapped, his voice firmer, more commanding. “Ben said something…

His glare deepened. “And your head is hurting again.” Am I really so easy to read? How can he always tell? ?“I’m fine. I’m more worried about you. What happened with the wolf? Are you sure you’re not hurt?” “Take your sweatshirt off.” I snapped my face away and gave him a side-eye. “What?” Not…

My eyes widened in the darkness, and my hands flew up to cover my breasts. “Can you see?” I screeched. Ace took his sweet time responding. “Of course not.” He chuckled. “That would mean I could see in the dark.” He lowered his voice. “But if I could, I’m sure I would like what I’d…

I snorted. “I tried to help. You never let me pick anything up! You said the patio furniture was too heavy and I could hurt myself.” Ace hadn’t changed much since childhood. He chuckled. “So, it was a good dream?” “Yeah. It was a good dream. Except that when it came to sleeping under the…

“So, uh, are we going to talk about this morning?” The line between his eyebrows intensified. “What about this morning?” he finally grunted.

Ben ignored him, keeping his eyes on me. “Tell me, Dorothy, what’s the deal between you and Ace?” My mouth dropped open. “That’s none of your business.” Ben scoffed. “You two make it everyone’s business every time you start humping in the hallway. How you press up against him, practically begging him to fuck you…

Sure, I’d been waiting years for Ace to show that sort of interest in me, but I was also incredibly confused. Did this mean he wanted something more between us? Ace’s cocky grin turned into a scowl. “Foul words like that do not belong in a pretty mouth like yours. I don’t want to hear…

I was six years old the day I met Ace. I was on a cruise with my family in the Bahamas. Back then, it was just me, my mom, and my dad. Joe, my stepdad, and all the kids that came with him didn’t come until much later. I remember being happy. So, so happy….
