Skylar's POV

It was really great to be in Ace's arms again. To feel the warmth of his body. To feel that sense of safety that he gives me. So much has happened in those few days. That 'Elle thing', those two men who followed me and then beat me up, all those days without Ace..

I was lying with him in his bed, snuggled into each other. His arm was wrapped around me tightly as if he was afraid that someone would take me away from him. His chest was moving up and down slowly. He looked so peaceful. I was running my fingers on his arm, and his skin seemed so delicate under my touch.

It was something around 2am and I have been lying like that for an hour or so. I couldn't sleep again. So many thoughts were in my head and I couldn't make them go away. I lifted up Ace's arm gently and slowly got out of the bed. I went to the living room and sat beside the huge window which reached all the way to the floor. That's the best thing in his flat.

I love the view from here. You can see the whole city. All the buildings, milions of bright lights glistening in the dark, and streets which are always full of cars even at this late hour. I pressed my legs to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I was wearing only Ace's t-shirt and boxer briefs which he gave me so it was quite cold. Goosebumps dusted on my skin.

"Baby?"

Ace's voice was coming from the left and I turned my head towards him. He was wearing only his black sweatpants. Eyes barely open, and hair messy from sleeping. He came up closer and sat down in front of me with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" I questioned.

"I was about to ask you the same question."

"I haven't been sleeping very well lately." I said softly and looked out the window.

Suddenly, Ace sat with his legs wide open and pulled me closer that I was sitting between his legs, putting mine on either side of him. He placed his hands on my waist and looked down at me tenderly.

"What's wrong?" worry obvious in his voice.

"Nothing, really." I whispered and looked down, but Ace lifted up my head in a second making me look at him.

"Why are you sad, baby?"

Do you know that feeling when you want to cry but try to hold it so others don't have to worry, but when they ask you what's wrong or something, you just tear up? My eyes started to fill with tears and I sniffed. Ace should be sleeping but here he is, sitting with me at 2am. He won't get some sleep which he certainly needs, because of me.

"Sky..." He pleaded.

"I'm just tired, Ace. So fucking tired." I breathed out with a trembling voice and my eyes met his. "Tired of caring too much, and feeling all at once. It's getting to be too much and I'm done with pretending I'm fine because I'm not. And I'm so sorry..."

He cupped my face with his hands. I was such an emotional wreck. I was so damaged at this moment.

"Shh, you have nothing to be sorry about." His voice stayed soft and I shook my head.

"No, I do. I'm sorry that I cut myself, I'm sorry that I'm another thing that you have to worry about, I'm sorry that I shut you out and seem distant sometimes, I'm sorry you have to go through all of this because of me. I want to be a person that makes you happy and has always that positive vibe. I don't want to react to everything. I don't want to put energy into things I shouldn't. I don't want to have all those negative thoughts that make me grumpy and sad which can oppress you. I want to smile and laugh more, and most importantly I want to be the reason YOU smile."

More tears started pouring down my face and Ace looked as if he was about to cry as well. He had a downcast gaze. My body started shaking and it was getting hard to breath.

"It's okay, breath." Ace was brushing his thumbs up and down my cheeks trying to calm me down. "I'm here with you. Breath. Just breath."

He put my head on his chest and hugged me while rocking me like a baby.

I am really shocked that he hasn't given up on me yet. He could have chosen an easier life, yet here he is, still with me. When my sobs became quieter, he leaned back a bit and cupped my face again so we were staring into each other's eyes.

"Skylar, you are the reason why I smile every damn day. Everything I do always traces back to you, and every little thing I see reminds me of you. I know that I can trust you, and talk to you about everything because you are not only my girlfriend but also my best friend. I love you with whole my heart and I wouldn't change a single fucking thing about you."

I was glaring at him with my red eyes while nibbling on my lip. I could hear desperation in his voice.

"Life is hard, and we are going to relapse many times, but we have to get up and keep moving. Please, remember. It's just a bad moment, not a bad life. Don't you ever dare to give up. When you feel like it all is getting a little too much, always come to me. Don't feel embarrassed, don't feel ashamed, don't worry about putting this burden on my shoulders because I will gladly take it. Love yourself, because you're one of a kind. And don't compare yourself to others. You're too wonderful for that. Remember that the less you care what people think about you, the easier life becomes."

I was speechless. What did I do to deserve such a man in my life? He is my rock, he is my everything. And I will try so hard to make him proud of me. I will be better. I don't only promise this to him but also to myself. I can't lead a life like that. I want to become that version of me, that I can't stop dreaming about.

I put my hands on his cheeks and moved my face closer to his that I could feel his breath on my skin.

"I love you so much, Ace. Thank you for everything you do for me." I whispered, voice straining.

His beautiful eyes were bore into mine and I couldn't look away. His lips tugged in the corners and he replied "No, I thank you."

After that, he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine delicately. They were so soft and just fit perfectly. The kiss was slow, subtle and full of emotions. It felt so good to have him near me again. We haven't spent much time with each other lately. Our eyes were fully closed in pleasure. His tongue brushed against my lower lip and I opened my mouth wider, allowing it to slip inside. However, this perfect moment was ruined by the loud rumbling of my stomach.

Ace pulled away slightly, chuckling at me and I think my cheeks became red from the embarrassment.

"Someone's hungry, I see. When was the last time you ate?" He asked and I dropped my gaze.

"I...don't know."

"Oh come on, you have to remember." He said, still smiling.

I tried to answer him but I honestly couldn't remember it. I bit on my lower lip and hesitantly looked up at him. I think he realised what I was trying to tell him and his expression change to being serious.

"Sky, when was the last time you ate?" His voice lower, emphasising every word.

"I think...two days ago." Came out my quite reply.

Ace closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. Then, he grabbed my hand gently and we started walking towards the kitchen. When we entered, he suddenly lifted me up making me gasp, and placed me on the kitchen counter. He took a frying pen, flour, eggs and other ingredients out of the drawer, and I was just sitting and watching him closely.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Pancakes." He said in a 'duh' tone and I rolled my eyes, smiling a bit.

"But it's not good to eat that late."

"I don't fucking care. You will eat everything and I don't want to see anything on your plate when you finish eating." He gave me a stern look and turned around.

I didn't know that he could cook. Not that I'm complaining, though. Observing your man cooking for you, with only his sweatpants on... I could see the way his muscles flexed, and the way he was tossing freaking pancakes, sweet Jesus. I never knew that such an ordinary activity could have such an effect on me.

When he finished, we started eating them together. We were talking and laughing that sometimes I had to put a hand on my stomach, because it hurt from laughter. It's been a while since the last time I had such a nice time. His pancakes were so delicious that I did not even have the same sense of guilt that I always had after eating some meal.

"God, I'm so stuffed that I think I won't be able to move." I groaned and could hear Ace's chuckle.

I stood up, took our plates and put them into the sink. When I turned around, Ace held out his hand for me to take it and I did that. He pulled me closer situating me between his legs, and wrapped his arms around me. I put my petite hands on his cheeks and we were gazing into each other's eyes.

I feel so blessed that I have him in my life. I think he doesn't know how all those little things he says and does every day, are so special and meanigful to me. His unconditional love always lifts me up and helps me walk through this life, knowing that I'm not alone.

Suddenly, he stood up, interwined our fingers, and started leading us to the living room. I knitted my eyebrows together, wondering what he was up to.

When we were standing in the middle of the room, Ace wrapped his one arm around my waist and grabbed my hand with his the other one.

"What are you doing?" I asked, feeling confused.

"Dance with me."

"Now? Here? Without music?" I asked, giggling.

"Fuck music. I want to dance with the love of my life." He replied, smiling.

He drew me closer to his chest, and we started moving slowly. He was holding me so gently, yet firmly. My chest was pressed against his and I could feel his beating heart. Even without music, everything was perfect. Me and Ace, just us together. Lost in the moment. My body was acting on its own as if it knew what it was doing.

Ace pulled away slightly and twirled me around making me giggle. He scanned my body from bottom to top with his now slightly darker eyes and a shiver went through my body. My hair fell over my eyes and he brought his hand up to brush it off my face. He started making circles on my cheek with his thumb, making me lean into his touch. A warm smile broke on my face and I closed my eyes for a second. I wanted this moment to last. Forever.

When I reopened my eyes, his chocolate ones were already glaring down at me. They glistened, and a smile spread across his beautiful face showing his cute dimples. Ace slowly leaned in and planted his plump lips on mine. I think I stopped breathing for a second.

Every time he kisses me, it seems like it is our first time doing it. He wrapped his hand around my neck and held me tight as the kiss continued. I don't think I will ever get tired of this.

The kiss was still slow but more heated now. I could feel that I was becoming increasingly aroused. Ace pulled away a bit, brushing his nose against mine, breathing fast. I stood on my tiptoes and my lips went to his ear.

"I want you, Ace." I whispered ever so softly.

Ace inhaled sharply and his jaw clenched. He seemed hesitant.

"Are you sure? You have bruises all over your body." His voice soft.

I cupped his face and said against his lips "I'm sure."

Ace was staring at me for a few seconds thinking about it, but then he lifted me up bridal style and started walking towards his bedroom with me in his arms. It's been a while since we had sex and I felt that exciting feeling in my stomach.

When we entered, he laid me delicately on the bed and connected our lips once more. I put my hands on his warm, muscular chest and started running my fingers on it. His fingers were running up my thigh until they reached his boxer briefs which I was wearing. Ace slid them off in one swift movement and then took off my t-shirt. I had my eyes closed but when I didn't feel his touch anymore, I opened them to see why he stopped.

He was looking at me with concern while his eyes were scanning my whole body. Purple bruises were visible mainly on my stomach and ribs, but some of them were also on my legs and arms. Generally, everywhere. I could see that he was hesitant. I put my palms on his cheeks making him look me in my eyes.

"It's okay, Ace. I'm fine." I whispered and it seemed to calm him down a bit.

He hid his face in the crook of my neck and started planting soft kisses on my skin. My eyes shut instantly and a slight sigh escaped my lips. Ace began going lower, kissing all the way down to my stomach until he reached my hot centre.

He stopped for a second to look up at me deviously, making my cheeks redden, and disappeared between my legs. I felt him lick my lower lips and I arched my back. More juices started dripping over his mouth. My hands found the way to his strands and tugged on them, which caused a groan to come out of his mouth.

"You look so hot from this angle." Ace mumbled against my pussy and the slight vibrations made me shudder.

He was thrusting his tongue in and out of me and the sensation was marvellous. I captured my lip between my teeth, as I felt the familiar feeling coming. My walls started tightening and Ace must have noticed that because he increased the speed. I was so close. He suddenly licked me painfully slowly but before I could scold him, he plunged his tongue in me again, and just like that I threw my head back, moaning.

I looked up at Ace breathing rapidly. He stripped naked in front of me while scanning my body with his lustful eyes. He walked up to the bedside table and took out a gold foil. He opened it and rolled a condom down his erect cock. I was waiting for him in anticipation and when he finally was hovering over me, he connected our lips together.

I could taste myself on his mouth and I let out a breathless moan. We were kissing passionately, my fingers running through his hair, and then I felt him slowly entering me.

"Mm..." I moaned, feeling myself adjust around him.

"Ahh, fuck." Ace groaned quietly and it was the hottest sound I've ever heard. "You're always so warm and tight."

He was thrusting into me, and I dug my nails into his skin. I think I forgot how it feels to have him buried so deep inside of me. Ace kept circling his hips while his hands were roaming over my bare body. But it was too slow. I needed more. I needed the friction.

"Faster, Ace..." I whimpered and he lifted up his face which was hidden near my neck.

"No." He stated sternly.

What the hell does he mean no?

"I don't want to hurt you. I'll be gentle with you tonight."

"Please..."

"Not a chance, princess." He said clearly amused and I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Do you think that's funny?"

"Very." Ace smirked. He likes to see me in this state. "Just relax, baby. Let me make love to you tonight."

My expression softened. His eyes pierced into mine as he was slowly moving in and out of me. In that moment, there wasn't just me and Ace. We were one. Together we were a whole.

He hid his head into the crook of my neck and started bitting and sucking on my skin, leaving me totally breathless. His thrusts were slow, but hard. I couldn't help but moan with every movement he made. Ace was pushing his hips until he found the spot.

"Y-yes, right there." I said through a loud moan and I heard him take a deep breath.

"Nessuno può farti sentire così bene, eh? Sono l'unico che può darti piacere e l'unico che può sentire tutti quei dolci rumori che fai. Sdraiata sotto di me, nuda. Dio, ti amo così tanto." He grunted out hotly.

(Nobody can make you feel that good, huh? I am the only one who can pleasure you and the only one who can hear all those sweet noises you make. Lying underneath me, naked. God, I love you so much.)

His hoarse voice...

Every time when Ace switches to his native language, it sends me over the top. He was pounding into me a little faster and my legs started shaking. I clenched around Ace, receiving a loud groan from him. I knew he was close too. He thrusted into me few more times until I called out his name as my orgasm shot through my whole body and we came together.

Ace pressed his forehead to mine and we were panting rapidly. I smiled mischeviously at him before saying

"Well, well, well. Who would have thought that Ace Rossi can be gentle."

I was still breathing fast. Ace looked me in my eyes and a lazy smirk appeared on his face.

"Don't get used to this, princess." He paused and brought his lips to my ear "Next time, I will fuck you so hard you will be able to feel me for weeks."

Oh, Lord
