Finding Ace (Book 3)

Chapter 19. Swag

Aria

Ace grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back against his chest. I looked up at him and smiled.

"We'll figure it out," he said. "Whoever is doing this isn't going to get away with it."

"They almost did, Ace," I said and sighed. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I wish things would just go back to normal. Lately, it feels like the entire world is coming down on me."

"I can see how you would feel like that, bebita, but I'm here now." Ace rubbed my back gently. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

A small smile spread across my lips. Ace lowered his lips to mine. The kiss was gentle at first, but it built. It built into the kind of kiss that made my stomach burst into flames.

"Do bad things to me," I mumbled.

Ace sunk his teeth into my neck and groaned. He lifted me and carried me to the bed.

My fingers tangled into his hair. His lips trailed down my neck as he moved his hips against mine. I prayed we didn't get interrupted this time. I couldn't wait for this anymore.

"Ace," I moaned. I arched my back.

His hand slid up my thigh. His gaze met mine. There was something in his eyes I hadn't seen in so long. "I love you," he breathed.

Ace's words caught me off guard. I hadn't heard him say those three words in ages. I didn't expect to hear it anytime soon. My heart skipped a beat. "W-what?" I choked. I waited for him to say he's kidding, but he didn't. "Ace," I started. Doubt colored my tone. A part of me thought maybe he just said it because he felt he had to.

"I mean it. I wouldn't say it if I didn't. Memory or not, I do love you. I don't think I love you the same way I did before I lost my memory, but it doesn't make it any less true. I fell back in love with you because of you. Everything you are, who you are. You amaze me," he said softly.

Tears built in my eyes. "I love you," I said breathlessly. It reminded me of the first time he said it. The first time he said it, it changed my life. Even now, after being with him for years, to hear him say that even though he didn't remember our life together changed me all over again. This time, I knew I had him back. I won him over, the same way he had won me over when I had amnesia.

What I felt for him was even more intense than it was back then. Ace flipped us. I straddled him. He sat up, and his hand trailed up my spine. The sound of my lingerie tearing made me laugh.

In no time at all, there was nothing left on us because we had no more patience. The intensity that built in my stomach could only be put there by Ace. Our eyes met before I lowered myself down on his hard cock. A loud moan escaped both of us.

Ace dug his nails into my hips as he helped me move faster. "Fuck, you feel so good," he hissed.

Our hips move in sync. Ace took one of my breasts into his mouth and massaged my nipple with his tongue.

"Harder," I begged.

Once again, he flipped me. As he pounded in and out of me, I thrashed against him and dug my fingernails into his chest.

"Stay still," he growled playfully.

A giggle started to escape me, but I stopped off in a moan. I reached over to the drawer and dangled a pair of handcuffs in his face.

He stopped, and his lips parted. "For real? You have handcuffs?" he asked breathlessly.

"You bought them," I said and smirked.
