The Four Aces

Chapter 4

Blackjack woke up by the sound of his phone vibrating, interrupting him from a wonderful dream, in his dreams, he recalled the time of lust he and Aileen had moments ago, the sheer magical bliss of becoming one in secret. The only thing he thought of was her, the night they had, and how the lead Aces would kill him for doing what he did but remembered the vow his dearest Aileen made.

"I won't let them kill you. Not now, not ever."

The man looked down at the still sleeping Aileen, watching her chest rise and fall. He couldn't help but smile a genuine smile, she was so cute, so innocent and to be a daughter of a mafia leader was certainly odd. She was his blooming flower in the world of blood and grey. 

The sound of his phone buzzing drew his attention and was forced to leave her sleeping. Quietly getting himself dressed, he grabbed his phone and opened up a text message. Planting a soft kiss on her forehead, Blackjack made his way into the kitchen for a quick bite, awaiting for Aileen to wake.

Aileen no longer felt John's chest but continued to sleep for a minute longer before waking up. She saw him on the edge of the bed and something told her something was wrong. "Is something the matter?" She crawled on the bed, closer to him, not ashamed of her nakedness.

Blackjack heard her ask him if there was anything wrong, he looked over his shoulder and marveled at her beauty before he replied what was basically mentioned on the text. "They found your father." He stated. "Don't worry, he's fine. But he's been asking for you."

The duchess heart skipped a beat at the news of her father being found and alive, safe and sound. She placed her hand on her heart and sighed, "oh thank god he is alright. What did he want?"

Blackjack turned his body and attention fully to face her and lifted both legs onto the bed. "He's throwing a party at your home. He wants you be ready." He looked down at his phone before he put it into his pocket again.

Aileen looked at John oddly then shrugged her shoulders. "Alright then." She got out of bed and stretched out before heading into the bathroom to bathe and get dressed.

Stacey/Dark Knight was the first to awaken from her drunken sleep. She rubbed her temple as a headache the size of her home city formed. She vowed to herself she would never drink if it's not a formal party or a job well done...let's see how that works out.

Looking over at the other Aces, she notices they were still fast asleep, she couldn't help but wince at the position Xavier/Shadow Rider was in. By his position, it looked like he could break his neck and back if he fell. Walking over quietly towards him, she carefully put him in a more comfortable position then made her way into the shower.

The sound of the water rushing woke them all up including he sun shining brightly into thier closed eyes. Xavier/Shadow Rider woke up groaning in pain as Samuel/Death Bringer helped a staggering Sarah/Death Star out of another bed across where Stacey/Dark Knight laid. By the time the three regained their balance, Stacey/Dark Knight came out of the showers, a towel wrapped around her body, her wet hair lose.

"Whose next?" She asked, grabbing her clothes to get dressed. But before she let the towel down, she shoved the two men out of the room and into their's. "Your room, get dressed in there".

Samuel/Death Bringer shook his head with a grin as he unlocked the door and opened it. The two men raced into the bathroom, Shadow Rider/Xavier won. He took a quick shower and came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, grinning at the scowling Death Bringer/Samuel.

"Your turn slow poke." He teased. Death Bringer/Samuel rolled his eyes in a mock annoyance and stepped inside to wash up.

"Xavier! How the fuck did you switch mayo with shampoo?!" Death Bringer/Samuel shouted as Shadow Rider/Xavier laughed.
