BXBX NOVEL Chapter 401 Taking It All To Bed
Although we were already so close, Ace pulled me even closer until I could feel the pressure of his chest against my breasts. I let out a surprise whisper as my breasts pressed up hard against his hard chest. Although I tried to distance myself from him, his arm around my body kept me exactly where he wanted me.
“Ace…” I pleaded as his words started getting to me.
Ace was acting strange, and I wasn’t sure what was going on or what he was thinking anymore. The passionate look in his eyes did not disappear; however, there seemed to be other emotions swimming in the depths of his eyes that I could no longer read and it scared me.
“I may have to hold her hand like this…” he said as he slipped my hand into his without breaking eye contact from me.
I felt the heat of his hand against the palm of mine and then his fingers smoothly interlaced with mine as he held my hand tightly. My throat constricted and I found it difficult to breathe as my heart raced even faster in my chest. Although he was just holding my hand tightly, I felt so affected.
“…and then kiss the back of her hand like this right in front of everyone…” he said in a voice as gentle as the way he slowly stroked his fingertips down the palm of my hand.
I felt my breath catch in my throat when Ace slowly brought my hand up to his lips and then kissed the back of it. Although everything that he said, he was doing to me and my body that wasn’t what my mind was seeing. I wanted to pull my hand out of his reach, but my body wouldn’t move the way that I wanted it to. Like a butterfly caught up in his web of illusions, I couldn’t free myself from the trap that he had set up in my own mind.
Although my eyes were open, I could see the scene of Ace with Elizabeth very vividly in my mind. The fact that I had chances to witness the two of them together in the past only made my imagination seem more real. I had no idea what kind of face I was making but I could tell that Ace was watching me intently to judge my reaction.
“Will you really be fine, I wonder…” he whispered, and his voice sounded so mercilessly seductive.
It wasn’t a question that he wanted me to answer. It was his way of making me think and consider how I would really feel. Ace’s lips curved into a mischievous smirk that only confirmed that he was testing and teasing me. I gasped again when he took my index finger between his soft and warm lips and began nibbling on it.
“Ace…please…” I pleaded with him to stop although I knew that it would take a lot more than that to stop him.
The way he teased me made my core throb with heat and I could feel the proof of my arousal spreading in the pit of my lower abdomen. His hot and wet tongue began swirling around my finger slowly and seductively as he continued staring deeply into my eyes. Ace looked so sexy, and his masculinity turned me on until I could feel my sticky love juices seeping out from the slit in between my legs.
I wondered if Ace knew the truth that I could never possibly be fine with him acting as Elizabeth’s lover. Even if I knew that it was all just an act, I doubt that I could ever fool myself into feeling completely fine about it. However, what other choice did I have?
Why did he have to make it so much harder for me?
“Let’s go to the bed, Rina,” Ace said invitingly after removing my finger from between his lips.
It wasn’t truly an invitation but more like he was telling me where he was about to take me. Before I could respond, Ace was already up on his feet with me carried princess style in his arms. It never ceased to amaze me how smoothly and effortlessly Ace could lift me up into his arms.
“Ace…” I murmured his name as I tried to look away from his alluring face.
My heart skipped wildly around in my chest as my core throbbed with my desire for him. Ace grinned a little at me before he headed for his bedroom. I was glad that he didn’t say anything more because I was already quite embarrassed. I knew well enough that sleep wasn’t what he had in mind when he decided to carry me to his bed. Despite the walk to his bed being a very short one, my emotions were in an even bigger mess by the time that we got there.
Perhaps it was his words or perhaps it was his teasing and testing actions that made me feel frustrated. It did occur to me that it may have been both of those things along with what was happening all around us. Thinking of him with another woman drove me insane and the heat that burned in my chest would probably be best described as jealously. Although I knew what I was feeling and why I felt so frustrated and even hurt, I tried my best to ignore it. Whether I liked it or not, I knew that this was the price that I had to pay for making the decision that I did.
It\'s for the greater good and for our better future…
That was the thought that ran through my head as Ace laid me on my back on his bed. The softness of the mattress against my back felt relaxing but relaxing on the bed with Ace wasn’t what I had in mind.
