"Don't ever leave me, Lyd."
"I won't. You and I are stuck together now." I try to lighten the mood. We are, in fact, stuck together since he's going to be my stepbrother.
"Not like that," he says but doesn't let me pull away. "Don't let me go."
"I won't." I chuckle into his neck. I don't know what he means by his words. He's so hard to figure out and understand sometimes but I needed to comfort him.
"So do you like come here often?" I questioned, desperately trying to change the topic. I don't know how we'll end up if I don't.
"Once every year." He says and pauses for a slight second. It must be wonderful to come here even if it's just an annual thing. I'd like to visit this place more often.
"Kyle and the rest aren't actually coming. I cancelled on them last minute, they don't know I'm here." He says. His words didn't surprise me just as much as they relieved me. I'm somewhat confused and somewhat relieved to hear that I won't be facing Penelope anytime soon.
"What about your dad? Does he know?"
"Yep. He didn't take it too well though."
"What? What do you mean?!" I panicked and Ace subtly chuckles, trying to hide his amusement in finding me freaking out about this. I'd totally slap him for it but I didn't, unfortunately.
"I just...well, he thought that we should wait until after the wedding because they're planning on traveling to France in the summer and they want to take us with them." He explains and I became much less worried. For a split second, I thought Ademar actually doubted the...friendship that Ace and I have.
"Oh." Was all I managed to say despite of the millions of things I wanted to say. My brain was in so many places right now, I couldn't think straight.
Ace stared deep into my eyes and held my gaze with his breathtakingly mesmerizing blue eyes. My insides were screaming with passion, freaking out. It took me every fibre in my being not to jump at Ace and kiss him right now.
He leaned closer, making the water shift and I froze in place as he cupped his large hands around my numb cheeks and instantly slammed his lips against mine, almost knocking out all the breath from my lungs. The sweet minty taste of his mouth filled mine and I opened my mouth giving him full access to deepen the kiss. His kiss ignited more sparks in me than any other guy's kiss ever could and I felt my whole world falling away. My brain was no longer in charge and my body was entirely under Ace's charming spell. His lips broke contact with mine, giving me a chance to inhale a deep breath and try to comprehend what just happened.
His lips crashed against mine, giving me that same familiar warmth I longed for. I don't care what we promised each other, right now is not the time. I'm way too lost in the moment.
I found myself begging for more as I wrapped my legs around his torso and closed any distance that was left between us.
"You have no idea how sexy you look in this bra." He says and I can feel my whole body heating. I looked away to hide my red-tinted cheeks and Ace used it as an opportunity to kiss my neck and collarbone. His lips landed on my wet and bare flesh, sucking, licking and swiping. Groans of pleasure escaped my lips and I threaded my fingers through his wet hair, pulling his face closer to mine.
This is everything I wanted in this moment. I don't want to change a single thing about this. Most importantly, I love the fact that I'm here with Ace. I may know him for only a short while but he's grown in on me so much. His dimples that appear when he laughs, the way his hair looks when his hand shuffles through it, the way he scoops me up and lifts me onto his waist, the way he tells me he loves it when I moan out his name. I know so much about him and he knows a lot about me too.
I don't think I'm just attracted to Ace anymore. There's a small part in me, just a tiny one that...longs for him. Not just sexually, but spiritually. For some reason, I find myself thinking about him all the time and fantasizing about how good it'll feel when I see him again, watch him smile, enter a whole new world when he touches me again. Being here with him felt right. Opening up to him felt right. Kissing him felt right. Everything felt right and imperfect in the perfectest way possible.
Granted, I know I have feelings for Ace, as ridiculous as that may sound but it's how I truly feel. They're very strong feelings that string me to Ace. I know my emotions are mixed up and everything is so fast and confusing but it's just how I feel in this moment and how I know I'll feel when I wake up tomorrow.
