He took a deep breath, his lips parted. Those gray pools of his didn’t leave my bare chest for a second. And then went my panties too.

Licking my lips, I turned around and walked into the bathroom, leaving the door ajar. And he knew of my invitation for him to join.

A smile tugged at my lips as the hot water trickled down my body. I didn’t know how I got so bold, but I just felt it. Only for him. All shyness flew out the window when he watched me with so much want in his eyes.

I didn’t even have time to flinch from the bathroom door slamming shut as I was pinned against the wall with his hard and very naked frame. His mouth captured mine and his hands were everywhere.

“You shouldn’t have teased me, sweetheart. You know what’s the punishment for teasing the beast?” he whispered, biting my lower lip.

“No…” a moan slipped from my lips. My eyes closed as his hands made their way to my chest.

“It’s a very sweet and torturous punishment, my rose,” his dark, husky voice rasped in my ear, taking my earlobe in between the heat of his lips. “This beast will take his beauty again and again until she goes unconscious from the intense pleasures he will be giving her tonight as her punishment.”

“Ace…” I whimpered at his words.

There was no going back.

I clung to him like my life depended on him as he made his territory on my chest, leaving the marks of his hands and mouth across my skin. Moans and groans echoed throughout the washroom along with the relentless pouring water on the tiled floor as he weaved his way to the places of my body where no one ever reached before.

Our mouths didn’t detach from each other when he carried me to his bed, not caring about our dripping bodies.

Placing a kiss on my forehead, he peered into my soul. “You ready?”

With my body still recovering from the heights he had taken me again and again just moments ago in the shower, I nodded.

“You’re sure, baby? I know it’s your first time. We can wait if you want,” he asked, hovering above me. His fingers stroked my cheek gently.

Warmth surged through my chest at his gesture. Even when he was on the verge of losing control, he was thinking about me. I could feel his tense shoulders, ragged breath, and hard and rigid…

Another blush rose to my cheeks.

Snaking my arms around his neck, I pulled him closer and captured his lips in a hungry kiss. “I want you, Ace.”

Groaning, he reciprocated my kiss with ferocity. Then I felt him against me. A delicious shudder ran down my spine.

“I love you,” he whispered against my lips.

“I love you too.”
