I expected for him to walk through the door and never look back. My past was not one I was proud of. Even I was disgusted with myself for that but I got over it thanks to Diana. I didn't know what was going on through Ace's mind at at time but I didn't think it was anything good.
Instead of leaving, Ace took a seat next to me on the bed and wrapped an arm around my shoulders before pulling me to him, so that my head was resting on his chest as he placed a kiss on the top of my head.
"Does Mason know?" He asked to which I replied, "parts of it. He only knows that I had a rough breakup. That's it."
"What about your parents?"
"Nobody except you and Diana knows." I replied earning a hum in response, "who's Diana?"
"My therapist," I smiled, remembering her, "she's very nice. She would've liked you."
"Yeah?" He ran his fingers through my hair, "Don't ever think that I'll leave you or something because of your past, okay?"
"Okay," I muttered, "how are you going to solve this bounty problem?"
"I was thinking of taking you somewhere far away from here, away from these dangerous people." He replied, "you'll be safe that way."
"Where?"
"I can't tell you." He placed another kiss on my head, "I wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise. But, for now-" He lied down on the bed and pulled me so I was straddling him, "how many times do you think I can make you come in an hour?"
"I-" I was cut off when he placed his lips on mine. I groaned at the intensity of the kiss before starting to kiss him back with the same amount of hunger and passion that he was pouring in it.

I stared at her sleeping figure, her head resting on my chest while one of my hand was wrapped around her waist and the other one under my head.
When she told me about her past, I felt so god damn angry. How could someone hurt her like that? And to think that she's kept this to herself all this time, she has been fighting her demons all alone. If she hadn't told me about that, I would have never figured that she was this broken. She kept it all hidden and that too very well. But, who would've thought that this girl has been through so much?
Recently, my whole world has been turned upside down. I've lost my father, my mom's fighting for life and death and now my girlfriend's in danger as well. I was feeling so fucking useless. Dad wouldn't have been proud of me if he was here.
I was a disappointment and I knew it.
One thing was for sure, I'd die before I let anything happen to Ivy. I can't lose her too. The feelings I have for that girl was increasing more and more everyday and it was becoming harder to ignore it. Everything about her made me want to cherish her forever; her face, her smile, her laugh, her eyes-damn.
I think it would be safe to say that I'm whipped.
I never thought that this day would come, honestly. It was always a quick fuck with the other girls but with Ivy it's different and I've known that the moment I've laid my eyes on her for the first time, in her house.
I was going to take her somewhere safe, somewhere far away from all this danger. She was to stay there until it would be safe, until the damn bounty was dropped. I was going to make sure that no harm would come in her way.
I haven't been racing in forever. I don't have time to, anymore. But I did miss doing it.
