“He’s good with her,” Ace says joining me by the window.
I laugh softly as I watch Luna run after the ball. “He is.” I remember the things Ace has told me about his father. “He wasn’t like this with you and Declan?”
“Not at all. It looks like age has mellowed him,” Ace says, regret in his voice.
I take his hand and squeeze it. “At least he’s making an effort.” I wish I could say the same for my mother.
“Yes, he is,” Ace says. “I was worried about leaving you alone with my mother. I hope she behaved herself?”
I can’t tell him that I know about the trust fund. Knowing how private Ace is, he’ll be upset with his mother and I’d hate to cause a rift between them. “It was fine.”
I step behind him and wrap my hands around his waist and lean my head on his strong back. It feels good to be part of a couple. I feel strong with Ace. As if I can handle anything that comes my way, as long as he is in my life.
Chapter 28
Ace
Lexi's skin is even softer in the morning if such a thing is possible. I nibble at the sensitive skin between her ear and neck. I trail kisses down her jaw and to her neckline. Half asleep, she arches her back and I cup her breasts and softly knead and then take a nipple into my mouth.
I’m off work today and indulging in my favorite pastime. Making love to my girlfriend. Lexi and I are official now. Our relationship is defined. We’re committed to each other. It’s a scary thought and an exhilarating one. I can’t help but worry that something will go wrong.
I’m smart enough to know that it’s an irrational thought that comes from my history with women. Something always goes wrong. Sometimes the timing is off and other times plain bad luck. How else would you explain the fact that I can’t name one successful long term relationship that I’ve had that died a natural death?
Lexi is different. First of all, the fact that she’s a mom makes her more serious than most. Secondly, she has a heart of gold. She doesn’t go around hurting people she loves.
Her moans penetrate my thoughts and I bring myself to the present, which is no hard task as she’s so beautiful.
“Oh, Ace,” she moans.
I kiss and lick her delicious curves, working my way to her pussy. I love how she smells in the morning. She smells like spring after a harsh winter. Like coming home.
I part the moist lips of her pussy and slide my tongue over her clit. Her moans are a sweet song to my ears. They grow louder and more urgent until they taper down to whimpers.
I insert a finger and then another. She rocks against my fingers as her pussy clenches holding them prisoner.
“More,” Lexi says. “I want more.”
I ease my fingers out of her pussy and replace them with my cock.
“Yes!” Lexi cries as my cock fills her.
I take a deep fortifying breath and make love to her unhurriedly. I look down at her slightly parted mouth and dip down for a quick kiss. She looks so gorgeous with her hair sprawled out on the pillow and her eyes glazed over with lust.
“Oh Ace, you’re going to make me come,” Lexi cries.
Her words go straight to my cock. I increase the speed of my thrusts. She grabs my ass cheeks and urges me to move faster.
“Yeah. Please.”
I love it when Lexi is so into our lovemaking that she begs without knowing what she’s begging for.
She lets out a scream and her body trembles. My thrusts become quick jabs. Her nails dig into my back, but I feel no pain. Hot Juices flood my cock. I can’t hold off anymore. I explode deep inside her body and keep pumping into her until I’ve emptied all of myself.
“I love you,” I murmur to Lexi as I feel sleep stealing over me again.
The next time I wake up, it’s to my phone vibrating. Groggily, I pick it up and squint at the screen. I sit up when I recognize the station’s number. I swipe it and answer.
It’s Collins, the deputy chief. “You need to come in. We have a big fire at the Shoebox.”
My blood goes cold. Shoebox is a block of sprawling apartments that go up to the fiftieth floor and are home to thousands of people.
“What is it?” Lexi asks rubbing her eyes.
“Fire at the Shoebox. I have to go.” I jump out of bed, hurry into the shower, and emerge three minutes later. It takes me less than ten minutes and I am ready to go.
Lexi is already in the living room watching the news. Images of the huge block of apartments engulfed by fire and smoke fill the screen.
