Play House

Chapter Nine: Aurora

Were laying there both gasping for air. I feel the bed rise up beside me as he walks away into the bathroom. I hear the sink come on and he returns with a rag, He begins wiping me down while holding eye contact with me. I break eye contact watching his every movement. "What?" He questions but I just shake my head. No other man has ever taken care of me afterwards they always just leave. Accept Ace every time he always takes care of me and makes sure I'm okay. He puts the rag in my hamper and crawls back into the bed beside me. He grabs me pulling me closer to him. His muscular arms are like my safety net, my escape from reality. Because every time I'm wrapped in them I feel safe, safe from all my thoughts. He kisses me on the forehead as we lay there in silence for a while. He finally breaks it when he asks. "You thirsty? Hungry? You want to take a shower." I shake my head no as I look up at him smiling. "No I just want you to hold me like this." He smiles and kisses my lips I can feel him smiling against them. God this man does things to me. He pulls away and stares into my eyes. I rest my head in the nape of his neck as he rubs his fingers through my hair. "You're my girl." He whispers and I get chills. My breathing deepens and he laughs a little. "Can we go get food? I'm starving." He's still laughing. I look up shaking my head smiling. "Yeah lets go!"

Ace and I are downstairs getting ready to leave. He's opening my door when I start looking him up and down. "What?" He questions. I truly think in his head this is his sex for the month and we'll go another month resisting the urge to jump each other's bones, so he's just taking advantage of every little thing. "I'm ready for you Ace." I see a smile play on his lips. "Youre ready for all the things that come with me? Like sneaking around? Because Nov, and Oz cant know." I nod my head and before I know it his lips are on mine and his hands are roaming all over my body and there's no sign of him stopping any time soon. "Ace." I whisper, causing him to pull away. He looks at me. "At this rate we're never going to get food." He laughs shaking his head. I climb into the car and he gets in turning on the engine. He places his hand on my thigh and my stomach does a backflip as butterflies flutter through me. He kisses my forehead and begins backing out of the driveway. We get to a McDonalds drive thru and order. He hands me the bags after checking them and we drive off. When we get home he helps me out of the car. "When is your sisters wedding?" He questions seeing im in a better mood. I smile. "In a couple months, I'll be her maid of honor. I know shocker." I say sarcastically and I hear the most angelic sound come out of him other than when I'm on top of him... his laugh. He's smiling and laughing and he's so damn hot, like so damn hot. He kisses my forehead and spins me in a circle. "You look good in anything princess." I sit down   and begin eating as he watches me. I roll my eyes. He's obsessed with everything I do. When were done eating were laying up in my room having small talk. I still don't know anything about him so I decided to make the small talk deep. "Can we talk about you? Your story? You know mine.. And well you're my boyfriend now and I still don't know anything about you." He sighs and turns on his side holding his head up with his arm staring at me for a second. I see his Adam's apple bob and I know this is going to be hard for him. "I chose a path of life my parents didn't approve of from a very young age. Thirteen to be exact I started doing drugs like hard drugs, because I saw my sister doing them with her friends, and I always looked up to her. She fell down a really bad hole when my mother married my step-dad. I later found out that he was sexually abusing her at night. I eventually cleaned myself up, but it took a while. She overdosed on drugs when I was 18. I finally got off of drugs when I was 20. It took two years for me to mourn her death properly. On the second anniversary of my sister's death my mother found out what my step dad had done to her when she was in my sister's room and found her diary. She was reading it and found that part of her journal." He takes a deep breath. I kiss his forehead comforting him and letting him know i'm listening. "She found that page... that page that turned her sadness into rage. That rage turned into her driving to the police department and having him arrested. And a month later I found out my mother was struggling with mental health herself. I helped her get help and it helped her for a while." My heart sinks, the last sentence shatters me and my eyes begin to tear up. "She took her life on July 18th at 9:10 pm. With a note that was two sentences long. 'I'm proud of you forever son. This isn't personal. I know you know I tried and fought, I just couldn't fight any longer.' She shot herself in the side of the head... with my step fathers gun. And I no longer had any family. I moved here and got a job at Otto's casino as a host for a while... he saw the amount of fights I would break up and how easily I was able to do it. He came up with a job offer, one that paid me more, gave me the cost of living, and paid for my food, which means I was pretty much getting an allowance, since I didn't have to pay bills of any form. So I accepted it with no hesitation. And when I got here I was still in pain from all of the shit that had happened to me. I didn't want to get close to anybody again, because if I lost them I'd lose myself, or so I thought so I stayed to myself. And I would just observe you Aurora you were and still are the most beautiful woman i've ever laid eyes on. I was so into you but I couldn't make a move, you had Ajax, and I couldn't get in the way of your happiness. So I watched from afar wishing that was me. Wishing I was the one up in that room, because I knew id treat you ten times better, I watched him just rush out of the house as soon as he was done using your body." The last sentence hurt but I know he didn't mean it that way so I let it go. He plants a kiss on my forehead. "I'm glad you told me all of that Ace, I'm really really glad." I kiss him on the lips and he pulls me towards him kissing me more passionately. Between kisses I manage to get the words out. "Nov and Otto's engagement party is on Friday." He hums to my response before deepening the kiss. I can tell where he wants this to go but I dont. He notices and smiles pulling away. He kisses my forehead. "Do you have a dress picked out?" The relief that hits me when he stops and I remember all the times I've felt so safe with him. I nod my head smirking. "Yeah! And you're not seeing it until the day of" He sighs, getting up from the bed and pulling me up. "Come on!" He pulls me into the bathroom and turns the shower on. He picks me up placing me on the counter, he uses his hand to push my legs open. Even though I'm on the counter he's still taller than me. He's looking down at me staring at my lips but eventually gains the strength to look at me. He takes my shirt off and begins to strip me when I'm completely naked he begins stripping himself. He picks me up and places me in the shower. I turn to face him. He's not said anything, he's just staring into my eyes and he wont stop staring. He spins me back around and begins rinsing my hair. He adds shampoo and kisses my cheek. He scratches my head and I lean into him letting him hold me up. He's the first guy thats actually taken care of me... had real conversations with me, not just fucked me and left. And it's probably the best feeling ever. He rinses my hair and adds conditioner to my ends. "Ace?" I question. "What's up Ror?" his voice is Raspy and I can tell he's having a hard time controlling himself right now and I respect him for that. I turn around standing on my tiptoes wrapping my arms around his neck. He pulls me into him and I feel him grow under me. "Ror you're the first girl... I've ever been romantically involved with... not just a hookup." I snicker a little bit. "I'm being serious princess." And in that moment I know what words are about to come out of his mouth. Three words, eight letters, that change everything in a split second. "Ror." I stop him by kissing him, hoping he won't say them because I'm not sure I'm ready to say them back. He pulls away. "Ror will you officially be my girlfriend." My heart slows down in speed and I'm a little grateful while also being a little hurt. "Of course!" I smile and he kisses me again. He rinses the conditioner out of my hair, and I return the favor by washing his hair. He's holding me up because I couldn't exactly reach him. He finally places me down and drys my hair, and brushes it. He goes back to his room to get pj's and when he returns I have on just shorts and a bra, He sighs. "You can't walk around like that princess, you're trying to get me in trouble. He leaves and returns with a t-shirt, it's so big it's right above my knees. It smells just like him. He's never getting this shirt back and I don't think he seems to care. I grab face masks and hair ties. I come out and sit on the bed he throws his head back. "Oh god Ror what's this?" I laugh seeing the sheer panic on his face. "Face masks!" he rolls his eyes and props himself on the bed. I climb up and straddle him. His hands slip around my waist and he's holding my hips. I take a hair tie and tie his hair in the most achievable bun pony tail concoction I can. "You're actually going to let me put this on you?" He laughs. "Only you if it were anybody else absolutely fucking not, but youre my girl, and you can do what ever you want to me." He smirks and I can't help but blush. I begin applying the face mask when his hands begin rubbing my thighs making it harder to focus. I move and he sighs. "Why'd you have to move princess?" I can feel his boner underneath me and the butterflies swarm through my stomach once again. "Maybe stop getting so handsy then." I sass back. He drops his head laughing. I lift it back up and continue to apply the mask. I finish applying the face mask and begin to climb off but he grabs my waist and pulls me back down. "My turn!" He whispers and I smile... im falling for you Ace... falling hard and fast.
