Ace and Isolabella lay in her bed, staring up at the ceiling, in silence.
Neither had felt very in the mood for sex as they barely spoke a word while getting ready.
"Bells..." Ace mumbled quietly.
Isolabella mumbled in response as she turned her head to him slightly, hands resting on top of the blankets over her.
"You're not going to become your mother are you?" He asked quietly.
"Become my mother?" She asked him confused as she turned her head fully to look at him.
Ace nodded as he continued staring up at the silk that was draped over her four-poster bed.
"Like become all cold and heartless?"
Isolabella pulled a strange face. "My mother is not cold and heartless."
"Bells." Ace spoke firmly before turning to look down at her. "She celebrated you killing someone with champagne?"
"Jealous you didn't get champagne when you killed Frankie?" She teased him slightly with a small smile.
Ace rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I'm being serious Bells."
Isolabella rolled over so she was completely facing him.
"So am I. She loves me and Taranis and even you, so there has to be a heart there somewhere, right?"
Ace nodded slowly. "I guess so."
"No guessing about it Merrill." Isolabella shuffled closer to him.
Ace lifted his arm as she pushed herself right up close to him, her leg draped over his as she snuggled her head onto his shoulder, letting her hand gently rest on his bare chest.
"Your mother still scares me you know?" He mumbled as he let his hand gently go up and down her back, his fingers lightly brushing over her skin.
"My mother scares everyone." Isolabella corrected.
"If I wanted to do something, but I wanted it to stay between me and you, how would you feel?" He asked quietly after a moments silence.
Isolabella shrugged slightly. "Depends what it is I guess."
Ace's reply didn't consist of words as he brought his arms around her to take her hand in his.
