My Bargain With The BadBoy

•• Chapter Twenty-Three ••

Chapter twenty-three: Clarity

   Ace arrived almost immediately after I had text him. It was nice, to have someone who would be there right away when you need them.

   "I'm sorry." He said, wrapping his arms around me, "I'm sorry..." he said again. I nodded and hugged him back.

   I sat on my bed and smiled, "thanks for coming. I needed someone." I tried to make it sound as good as possible, I didn't need him thinking that he was just there because I was alone. Even though, that was sort of the case.

   He shrugged and sat next to me, "it's fine Monroe. Really." He leant back and closed his eyes. I had the urge to kiss him, I fought it. I can't use him like this. It isn't right. Then again, I don't want him to just be my friend. I didn't know what I wanted.

   Ace smirked, I realised I was staring. I silently cursed myself and looked away, "No, it's fine Monroe. Look all you want, I know I'm perrrrrrrty." He joked. Although, it wasn't a lie. He was gorgeous. OH MY GOD SHUT UP ALEX.

   I looked at my hands, suddenly unsure what to do with them. I allowed them to go limp in my lap. This was awkward... I didn't expect it to be awkward. For gods sake, everything I did with Ace was awkward.

   He grabbed my right hand and interlocked my fingers with his. I noticed he was looking at me, I didn't look up. I blushed, staring at my lap still, fully aware of the deep brown eyes that were boring into my face.

   He put two fingers under my chin and lifted my face. My heart started pounding, what if he kisses me and it just isn't as good as Ryder? I wished I could slap myself, my thoughts betraying me. Who thinks like that?

   Someone who is very, very, VERY flustered.

   He looked into my eyes, I looked back into his. My heart was thundering in my chest now, I wouldn't be surprised if he could feel it. He leant forward slowly, I turned my head slightly to give him better access.

   Before I knew it, our breath was mingling. All I needed to do was move one more inch and then we would be kissing. Ace didn't move, he just stayed there. Soon, it became unbearable. I pushed my head forward and met his lips, resting my hands around the back of his neck.

   He pulled me closer so that I was virtually sitting on his lap. He deepened the kiss, clutching my sides. I can't explain the sheer ecstasy I was feeling. Ace was too, moaning my name against my lips. His eyes shuttering as I pulled away.

   We stared at each other for a moment, breathing heavily. Ace didn't move, I didn't move. I turned my head slowly and looked at the door. It was open...

   I got up and shut it, slowly walking back to the bed. Ace smirked at me, he knew what was up. I sat on his lap again and we kissed once again...

   It was like the first time over and over again, it was hot, hotter than hot. The chemistry was undeniable.

   The door was shut.

   Nobody was going to come in.

   Me and Ace both wanted it.

   So we did.

  Before you judge my sweet Alex. I want to clear that this won't be called some sort of healing sex. No. There will be a bonus chapter of ACE's POV. Just so that people don't think that there was any sort of "sexual advantage" used in this scene by Alex.

   Thanks lovelies 😁
