Skylar's POV

During the whole ride nobody said anything. Of course, I asked Ace many questions but he just kept saying that he would explain everything to me when we arrive, so I shut my mouth eventually. The atmosphere was  tensed. I think Ace could sense how nervous I was because he put his hand on my thigh and ran his fingers over my bare skin sending shivers through my body.

God, even when I'm mad, he can turn me on

"We're here." Ace said and I looked out the window.

"Wow." I whispered.

Of course he lives in a pent house. I understood now why his place was safer than mine because it looked like a fucking fortress!

He parked his car and we got out. He grasped his hand in mine and when I wanted to pull away, he pulled me closer giving me his stern look. I was really angry with him. He clearly had a lot of secrets and when I wanted to ask him about things, his answer was 'we'll talk later'.

We took the lift and he led me to his apartament. It was huge! The living room was big, grey and very elegant. The kitchen was white and black and I think everything was in marble there. We walked into his bedroom and it was big as well! His whole apartament is big in general.

I immediately spotted a king sized bed with grey, silky sheets. The whole room was dark and black. I liked it here.

"You want something to drink?" He asked while taking off his jacket but I was just standing in the middle of the room with my arms crossed. I need answers and he has to give them to me. Now. He noticed my silence so he  turned around and sighed.

"Do you want to sit?"

"No Ace, I don't want to fucking sit just tell me what's going on." I raised my  voice a little and his jaw clenched.

"First of all, drop the attitude."

"I will talk how the hell I want because apparently someone is after me and I'll probably die soon and I don't know what's going on!" I screamed.

It really scared me. It dawned on me that I don't know much about Ace and it looks like he doesn't want to share some facts about him with me.

He came up to me and cupped my face with his hands but I quickly pushed him away. I saw a bit hurt in his eyes but hey! I am hurt too. And mad. And frustrated. And...uninformed.

"No one, I said no one is going to hurt you."

"Yeah, according to Jacob you were saying the same thing to that Elle girl." I said and noticed how his hands clenched at his sides. "Ace...just tell me what's happening." I said in a calmer tone and he seemed not to be that tensed anymore.

He sighed before he said "Where do I start?"

"From the beginning. That would be the best. What do you do? I heard that it's something...dangerous?"

I was hesitated. I think I was afraid of the answers he could give me.

"Not everything I did was legal. I used to trade..drugs-" my eyes widened "and I sell guns but I want to drop out of it. It isn't that simple though. You can't do it just like that. There are a lot of complications and a lot of bad guys who want me to stay."

I was still standing where I was standing, listening to him. I couldn't believe that Ace used to sell drugs. What if he took them too?

"When I decided that I didn't want to do it anymore some men who I worked with were pissed off. I was...with Elle back then-"

I think my chest tightened a bit. So they were together. She was his girlfriend. But he said he didn't do relationships until he met me?

"They kidnapped her and threatened me to stay and continue the business if I didn't want to see her dead."

I let out a small gasp. I felt a lonely tear slid down my cheek and I think Ace noticed it.

He wanted to came closer but I took a step back, placing a hand over my mouth.

"Princess, please. They won't hurt you. I-"

"Did they kill her?" I cut him in. He was looking at me for a few seconds.

"She was different from you. She was quite confident, always had many things to say. She threatened them that I would kill them, that she would escape and tell the police about everything. That was what triggered them, I guess, and they shot her. They sent me a video of that."

He lowered his head a little. I saw the hurt in his voice. I wanted to hug him so badly, tell him that everything will be fine but I couldn't help but feel a little hurt too. And those men? I can be in danger now!

"You said that you've never been in a relationship before me." I said quietly.

"I've never said that, princess. I told you that I didn't do relationships because I wasn't with any girl after Elle. I thought I would never feel the same way about someone else like I felt about her."

I lowered my head, wrapping arms around myself tighter.

"Did you love her?" I asked again, looking down at my feet. I heard his footsteps getting closer.

"I thought I did, but I didn't."

Is it bad that I'm happy hearing that?

"And if by asking that you meant whether I feel the same way about you, the answer is no."

oh great.

"Because I care about you more."

I looked up at him from under my eyelashes and something in his eyes twinkled.

He put his one hand on my cheek caressing it, while the other one was on my waist pulling me closer to his body.

"I think about you all the time. I want to be with you all the time. I want to hold you, kiss you and...do all those things to you-" He whispered near my ear and I felt goosebumps on my skin.

"-God, you're so addictive. You're driving me crazy sometimes, you know? When you look at me from under your lashes seductively even though you don't intend to be seductive. When you wear those tight clothes and I can see your perfect features. When you bite that fucking lip of yours and I wonder how it could feel to..." He closed his eyes and looked like he wanted to compose himself.

He is so hot. I love his voice that I could listen to him talking for hours. His strong arms that hold me so tight. His hands that touch me in all those places giving me an unimaginable pleasure. And his mouth which do wonders to my body. I was getting wet just from thinking about all those things.

"What's going through that pretty head of yours?" Ace suddenly asked against  my ear. His hand was on my neck now squeezing it slightly. Does he know me that well already? "Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing.

"Y-you, Ace." I breathed out.

"Mhm what about me?" He started running his nose up and down my neck. I let out a shaky breath at the sensation.

"How g-good your hands feel on my body, and how they touch me in places I've never been t-touched before." I whispered barely being able to breathe.

"You've never been touched by anyone but me?" He asked lifting his head a little so he could look me in my eyes. I shook my head as a 'no' and he inhaled sharply. "Jesus, Skylar"

He pulled me closer that our bodies were pressed together and I could feel a huge buldge in his jeans. Is that? It's that big? I moaned out at the feeling. I think my panties were soaked by now.

"Can you feel what you're doing to me, Skylar?"

I let out a gasp when he pressed my lower body to him even closer. I couldn't take it anymore. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in a kiss. A passionate and a very full of desire kiss. I pressed my lips against his and Ace kissed me without reservation. He groaned into my mouth.

Ace's tongue was exploring my mouth gently bitting on my lip. His hands all over my body, running down my sides. I knew how painful it must have been to him during this whole time when he was giving me pleasure but he didn't receive anything in return.

I ran my hands down from his neck to his chest, lower and lower until I cupped his cock through the material of his trousers. He let out a sexy groan.

"Skylar, what are y-"

"Shh-" I stood up on my tiptoes and brushed my mouth over his. "-let me  take care of you tonight."

I squeezed him even tighter. I had no idea what got into me, but I needed to do this. He needed me.

"Ah fuck." He hissed out.

I reached out for his fly and unzip it. I kissed his lips, then his jaw and then started planting kisses on his neck. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I slowly pulled down his boxer briefs and let out a small gasp at the sight of him. He was huge. I looked up at Ace and he was already smirking.

Cocky bastard

I wrapped my hand around his length and his smirked vanished quickly. I  didn't know what I should do so I just started stroking him. His breathing was rapid. I  got on my knees slowly and I saw Ace's jaw clench and his nostrils flickered.

"Skylar, you don't have to do this." Ace stated, looking down at me. His thumb tracing my bottom lip.

"I want to. But I've never done it so tell me if I'm doing it wrong." I said.

I lowered my gaze and took a breath before leaning forward. I placed a soft kiss on his tip first, then swirled my tongue around it. I looked up at Ace and he seemed to enjoy it so I slowly licked up his whole length.

He threw his head back and gripped my hair. I put only the head in my mouth twirling my tongue around it and he growled. His free hand clenched at his side. So many read books didn't go down the drain, I guess. Then, I slowly started taking him all the way to my mouth. His dick hit the back of my throat and I gagged a bit.

"God, Skylar." He muttered hoarsely and with his hands on my hair he guided my mouth forward. "Relax, loosen up your mouth."

I did as he said and I think I was doing better now. I didn't gag and sucked like my life depended on it. I wanted to make him feel good. I had that urge to satisfy him and make him come.

"Fuck, baby. It feels so good."

His dark voice was sending shivers through my spine. I glanced up at Ace and he looked so hot that I was already wet. His brown hair was falling on his forehead and his eyes were closed, enjoying the pleasure he was receiving from me. I felt him starting to stiffen in my mouth.

"Skylar if you don't want me to come inside your mouth, you'd better stop now." He said pulling my hair back but it didn't stop me.

I pushed forward again and was sucking hard. His breathing was unsteady and I could see how hard he was bitting down on his lower lip. Ace let out small grunts and cusses under his breath and I knew he was close. He suddenly jerked wildly, yelled out my name and I felt his warm release fall down my throat. I swallowed all of it. It wasn't that bad as I expected it to be.

When his breathing was more steady now, he cupped my chin firmly. His dark eyes focused on mine.

"Open." His voice low and dark. I opened my mouth for him to see and his pupils dilated. "Good girl." He praised and lifted me up from the floor.

He crushed his lips to mine, kissing me hungrily and then threw me on the bed, towering over me.

"You know, if I didn't know you, I'd think you lied to me. You were sucking my dick as if you've done it before." He started kissing and bitting my neck.

He pulled down my skirt and shifted my panties to the side. I felt his fingers on my pussy parting my lower lips. He ran them up my hot center and a moan escaped from my throat.

"You're so wet, princess." He stated huskily against my neck. God, his voice "Did sucking my dick make your pussy that drenched?"

He started circling my clit and I let out a little louder moan this time.

"Y-yes." it was barely a whisper because I wasn't able to say anything. The pleasure he was giving me was amazing.

Ace was kissing and sucking on my neck when I was running my hands through his hair. He slowed the pace and I whined. I know what he was doing. He wanted me to beg but I was so desperate that I didn't hesitate even for a second.

"Ace, please..." I pleaded helplessly.

I heard him take a deep breath and suddenly he slid two fingers inside my wetness, making me gasp with satisfaction.

"Ahh" I couldn't contain my moans anymore.

Ace started pounding in and out of my pussy as I continued to drip more juices over his fingers.

Suddenly, I felt something wet on my throbbing clit and when I opened my eyes, I saw Ace's face between my legs. He licked me all the way up and bit gently on my sensitive skin leaving me utterly breathless.

"Oh God!" I moaned arching my back.

It felt so good and watching Ace eating me out was impossibly titillating. His eyes never leaving mine during all this time. I screamed as he plunged his tongue inside me.

He always knows what to do and how to do it. It's like he knows my body better than I do, and how it should be taken care of properly.

My legs started shaking and he smiled up at me deviously. He was pumping faster and faster and I could feel my walls tighten around his fingers. With a few more thrusts I finally reached my release calling out his name.

When I was trying to catch my breath, Ace pulled himself up and was glaring down at me with a satisfied smirk playing on his beautiful face.

"You tasted as good as I remembered from the last time, baby." He purred against my lips and gave me a quick kiss. I think I blushed a little. I was still not used to hearing him saying all those things to me.

"Come on, let's go take a shower. I'll bring you something you can sleep in." He kissed me one more time and I went to the bathroom.

I didn't have anything with me so I used Ace's shower gel and put some toothpaste on my finger to wash my teeth. I heard knocking to the door so I swiftly wrapped a towel around my body and went open it.

"Here. You can wear my t-shirt and boxer briefs."

I took the things Ace gave me and smiled thankfully.

"I thought you didn't know how to knock." I teased and his lips tugged at the corners.

When I got dressed I left the bathroom and went to Ace's room. I put my clothes on the chair and freshly washed Ace walked in.

"You have two bathrooms?" I asked.

"Three actually." He smiled cockily.

He stopped walking and was staring at me for a few seconds.

"You look good in my t-shirt." He said licking his lips. "Come on, let's go to sleep before I do something which has nothing to do with sleeping."

Jesus...

We got under the covers and Ace wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him so I could put my head on his warm chest. How is it possible that this man is always so freakishly warm? I like the way he makes me feel. Despite all those things other people say about him, I do feel safe around Ace. And happy.

"Ace?"

"Hm"

"But what with those bad men that are after me?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it."

He seemed calm and sure of what he promised me. Maybe in fact everything will be fine and there is nothing to worry about. I felt a small kiss being placed on my forehead before Ace whispered

"Good night, baby"

My heart still melts when he calls me that. I yawned, closing my sleepy eyes.

"Good night, Ace."
