Aella

IV

Making eye contact with Aella while I fucked Ace was.... invigorating. I don't know how else to think about it. 

After Ace finished, I grab his shirt from the ground and button a few buttons up on myself, to cover myself when I go into the house. Ace buttons up his pants, and together, we walk back into the house. I strut past her with Ace's hand locked with mine. I sneak a look at Aella as we pass her, to make sure she was still there, to make sure she knows that Ace is mine.

I go to my room to shower, to wash the sweat off I produced between tanning and sex. I turn on the shower and fold Ace's shirt, placing it on the counter to give back to him.

The shower is cool, lowering my body temperature and sending me into a state of calm. I wash out my hair and scrub my body, and sink into my thoughts. 

But when my thoughts turn from Ace to Aella, I think about stopping, but I don't. I think about what she would look like under her suit. Even over all of the layers, anyone could tell she has a nice body. Well taken care of, I'm sure the same amount of abs as Ace. Her hair looks perfect no matter what she does to it, and her eyes complete the package. They sparkle like sapphires, and I wonder what they would look like up close.

When my mind wonders too far, I turn off the water, get out of the shower, and wrap myself in a towel. Staring at myself in the mirror, the hickey on my breast is a deep purple, and it hurts just a little bit when I touch it, but my skin glows from the new shade of tan I earned in the sun. 

I go back into my room, and at the door, stands Aella. She leans against my closed bedroom door, her hand on the lock. I stare at her, and she stares back. The silence is broken by the sound of her actually locking the door.

"That little stunt today at the pool was cute", she smirks. Aella pushes herself off the door and takes one step towards me. In sync, I take one step back.

"Ace is mine", I try to stand up for myself, but my voice cracks in nervousness. I'm starting to feel like she wasn't there for Ace, and I almost feel stupid for being too possessive over a man I barely want. 

Aella laughs, and it sends a wave of fear through my body. But not really scared fear. More of a fear of her sexual intimidation.

"Oh, Topolina", she smirks at me. "He's not the one I want".

She continues to walk closer and closer to me, and I back up until I hit the wall. She stops less than a foot away from me, staring down at me. I take a huge gulp, but I also don't want this moment to end. This woman is beautiful. I want to stare at her for hours.

Her hand comes up, grabbing my chin, pushing it up, so she can study my whole face. All I can do is grip my towel, the only thing separating me and her. "I liked watching you fu€k your boyfriend. Seeing you bounce on his €ock. But you weren't thinking of him, were you?"

I gulped down the hot air in between us again. "Yes, I was." That's probably the worst lie I've told in my life. 

"Princess", she smirks at me. That fucking smirk gets me. "If you had wanted him, your eyes would not have been on me the whole time".

Why was she right?

"I-I". I didn't know what else to say. This woman had taken all the words from my brain. 

Her free hand lays itself on my hip, gripping me tight. I gasp as I can feel each of her finger pads on my waist. "Oh, Topolina. You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm only here to protect you. That's my job, isn't it?"

The hand that was on my chin falls away, trailing down my bare arm. It sends sparks through my entire body. I shiver under her touch. "Princess", she laughs. "You are one beautiful specimen. I can't wait until I make you mine".

"No", I say as firm as I can. "I love Ace. I- I'm straight".

That phrase is starting to become a lie.

The hand that was trailing my arm has now landed on my other hip, gripping it the same way the other one is. She pulls me against her, like Ace does to me all the time. Our faces are barely an inch apart. She laughs again, her face goes up to look at the ceiling, revealing her sharp collar bones and chiseled jawline, then she comes back. 

"Trust me, Topolina, you won't be if you ever let me show you what you've been missing. And, Darling, if you were straight, you wouldn't be trembling under my touch. You would be running to your father to tattle". 

Then she lets go of me. I stare at her as she readjusts her suit coat and walks out of my room. I lean against the wall, simply thinking about the event that just occurred. The feelings that I felt when she touched me were unlike anything I've ever felt with Ace.

She scares me beyond belief because I feel like I want her to be more than my bodyguard. Maybe she's right. Maybe I will feel better sexually if I'm with her, rather than with Ace. But I love Ace. He's sweet, and generous, and he would give me everything I would need in my future. A house, children, security.

But I also need good sex. Maribelle, my older sister, tells me all the time how mind blowing the sex is with her husband, and how it practically changed her life when she started having sex with him. The sex with Ace is only subpar at best, I would say. I always tell him I finish to boost his ego and so we can end it and I can go on with my day or go to bed. 

Aella is beautiful, she is. Ace is attractive, but I fell in love with his personality before his looks. I've never been attracted to a woman before, but I am attracted to her, and the sexual tension between us. But what about Ace? If I did end up doing anything with her, I would have to break up with Ace. I couldn't cheat on him. 

I sink to the floor, still in my towel, and stare at the ceiling above me. So many things and ideas swirl around in my head about what I should do now. I'm meant to marry Ace and Papa would be furious if I do not. How would the family react if I break up with Ace to be with a woman. And a guard no less? That would be like a princess being with a peasant back in medieval times. 

But I want to have some fun, and if it ends my relationship with Ace, I feel like it wouldn't be the end of the world to me. I'm young, and I want to explore, and be free.

Teasing her would be fun, and I think that's what I have to do.
