Hannah's POV

---------------------

"Amore..." I hear Ace whisper as I slowly start to wake up. I feel a gentle kiss placed on my forehead before he gently shakes me. "We've landed, do you want to get up?"

I slowly look around to see that he moved us to the bedroom while we were asleep. I look to the edge of the bed to see him crouching next to me. He still looked a little tired, but at least he got some sleep. I, on the other hand, still wasn't sure if I was even awake.

"No." I mumble, closing my eyes again. I hear a light chuckle before I feel him pick me up. I couldn't help but smile and snuggle closer into him as he started to walk off the plan.

Ace walked off the plan and, even though it was still dark outside, a little light was starting to appear. I don't know where we are, but it must be in the morning. Ace said something in Italian to someone before I heard a car door open and I was gently placed inside. I looked around to see we were in a blue Ferrari GT 250. Ace got in the drivers seat before leaving the runway of the airport.

"How come we haven't been using the SUV's?" I ask, slowly starting to wake up.

"It's just the two of us." He shrugs. "I didn't feel the need. Plus, I like driving my own cars."

"Are you going to tell me where we are now?"

"France."

"France?"

"Yup."

"You mean to tell me, this whole time, you've just been in France?"

"What's wrong with France?"

"Nothing." I shrug. "You just don't seem like the type to like France."

"I love France." he scoffs. "It's a beautiful country, what's not to like?"

"Well, isn't in known for love and everything?"

"Thats Paris. Who said we were going there?" 

"Well, if we aren't going to Paris, where else would we go?"

"Champagne."

"That's a drink."

"No." He rolls his eyes. "Champagne is a place with a drink named after it."

"Oh."

"You know, I think I enjoyed you more when you were snoring."

"I don't snore." I grumble.

"Just go back to sleep, Amore, will be there in an hour."

Even though I didn't want him to win our bickering, I went back to sleep. I was still too tired and didn't want to have to be awake for an hour long car ride. When I woke up, we were almost there. There were miles and miles of vineyards everywhere with a small town in the distance. The sun was also starting to rise and it made everything look beautiful.

"Wow." I sighed, looking around.

"See, France is beautiful."

"Yeah, yeah." I grumble.

We eventually get to the small town and, before we go to Ace's house, I make him stop in town to get me clothes. He hated shopping, but there was no way I was wearing these the whole time we were here. Plus, he still hasn't told me how long we're gonna be here for.

"You could just wear nothing." He suggests from the seat inside the changing room while I look in the mirror.

"I'm sure you would like that but, as I've already said, I'm not sleeping with you." 

"And why is that?"

"Ace, need I mention, you still haven't decided if you want to be with me."

I know we've only slept together twice and there was definitely something between us, but Alfrigo's name calling still got to me. Don't get me wrong, I knew I wasn't a whore, but I'm not his girlfriend either. Until he figures out what the hell we are, he gets nothing.

Since he refused to let me be in the changing room alone, he was now watching as I tried on a simple white sundress. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was pretty. He was looking me up and down with furrowed brows while I was just looking at myself in the mirror, trying to ignore him.

"Why does that matter?"

"It matters to me." I shrug.

"It didn't the other night."

"The other night we were in the middle of a moment." I tell him, taking off the dress. 

As soon as I pull it over my head, Ace is standing right in front of me, backing me into a wall. He goes until I'm completely against it and there is hardly any space between us. I hold my breath when he put one of his hands on the wall by my head and gently trails his other from my bra down to the hem of my underwear.

"Are we in the middle of a moment now?" He asks, looking into my eyes.

"Nope." He starts fiddling with the hem and slowly leans in, placing a kiss on my neck. He kisses his way from my neck up to my ear. 

"What about now?" He whispers. I was breathing heavily and starting to feel butterflies in certain places.

"Nope." I sigh. He kisses his way back down my neck until he finds a spot that makes me gasp. He starts nipping and placing kisses all over that spot as his hand slowly makes it's way into my underwear.

"And now?" He asks, running his finger over my folds.

"mmm mmm..." I quickly shake my head.

I gasp, throwing my arms around his neck when he sticks a finger inside of me. He starts moving it in and out and I can't help but moves my hips, trying to make him go deeper. He roughly grabs my hips with his other hand, stopping me.

"What have I told you about those hips, Amore?" He tsks. "Now, you don't get to finish." I let out a whine as he takes his finger out. He leaves me there, stunned, as he walks out of the dressing room and waits outside.

I quickly put my clothes on and walk out, roughly handing him the clothes I wanted to get. He just laughs, shaking his head, before going to pay. I wait for him at the door and he comes to me when he finishes with the cashier.

"Ready?" He holds his hand out for me to take. I roll my eyes before walking out, him trailing behind me.

I get in the car and wait while he throws the clothes in the back. He gets in the drivers seat smirking. He knows he made me frustrated and he's proud of it. Two can play at that game though.

"Wow, look at that." I tell him. I point towards his window and casually put my hand on his thigh. There was nothing there, but all of the buildings here were beautiful anyways.

"It's France, everything is beautiful here."

"Everything?" I ask, slowly sliding my hand upwards. He looks down at my hand before looking to the road.

"Yes, everything."

"Like what?" I ask, going further.

"The vineyards, the architecture, the cultu-" He cuts himself off with a groan as I move my hand over his bulge.

"I'm sorry, the what?" I smirk.

"Amore, don't play games you know you'll going to lose..."

"Games?" I ask, moving my hands to my lap, as if it was the most casual thing ever.

"Your not funny."

"Really? I think I'm hilarious." I laugh while he shakes his head.

We ride to the house we're staying at in a comfortable silence. In actuality, it wasn't a house. It was a beautiful estate with a stone driveway and a breathtaking garden. Unlike the safe house, this wasn't modern at all, but rather a European style, with stone on the outside.

"You've been staying here?!" I ask, in awe of the home.

"If you think this is nice, you should see my main home in Italy."

"I thought you stayed at the compound in Italy?"

"I did sometimes but I also have a home."

"Will I ever get to see it?" 

"Maybe one day." He smiles.

We get out of the car and walk inside. The door opens into the living room of the house. It's beautiful and decorated with white furniture. It was open with plenty of windows to let light in as well. I walked up the stairs to see four different bedrooms. One of them had two twin beds, two of them had queen size beds, and the last one had a king sized bed, making it the master.

The master bedroom was also, like the living room, very spacious with a bunch of windows to let light in. The bed frame was an upholstered tan color and there was a fluffy, white down comforter on the bed. I could tell this was the room Ace had been using, from the bunched up covers and a few of his things strong around.

"Do you like the house?" He asks from behind me.

"It's magnificent."

"What about the bedroom?" I don't look back, but I just know that he is smirking. Like I said, two can play at that game.

"It's beautiful, but I think this one is already occupied. I'll find another one down the hall." I tell him.

I leave him with his jaw dropped as I walk out of the room.
