The living room light is on. He knew that Gina had just come home from the restaurant. He can be sure that when he knocks on her door at this hour of the night, she will be scared. He also left his cell phone in his compartment and he’s too lazy to go back to it.
He is now in front of Gina’s house. He took a deep breath and stretched his body before he managed to knock on the door.
“Who is it?” She asked in a bold voice.
“Ace.” He called from outside.
“What do you need?”
Huh? “I want to see you, Gina. Please open the door.”
“I thought you would show me after six months.”
What the hell? “What if I came back early? Gina, don’t make me stand out here and yell. What might your neighbors will say in this late evening. Maybe the police will pick me up for yelling here.”
“Then go away. A deal is a deal. We have already agreed that we will not be seeing each other.”
He just smiled at her irritated voice. “Okay, if you don’t want to open it, anyway I have a key and I also know the code.”
“I have changed the code.”
“I know it’s not. Because you even told me before that I can get my things whenever I want. So meaning, you haven’t changed it as long as my things are still inside.”
Gina was suddenly quiet inside. “So you’re just here to get your things?”
“That’s right, and if that doesn’t bother you too much?”
Then after a minute he heard the click of the lock. “Come in.” Gina said after opening it.
He stepped in cautiously, closing the door behind him. But Gina suddenly disappeared from his sight.
“I’ve put your equipment in a big box. Just take it from there.” Gina called coming from her room.
He saw a big box in the living room that she was talking about.
“Can you face me, Georgina?” He called back.
After a few minutes, Gina stepped through her bedroom door and suddenly his chest pounded, halting his ability to speak. He was in love with her. And now he is sure of his feelings for Gina. Somewhere along the way, he’d fallen deeply, irrevocably in love with her.
“Hi!” He finally said.
She looked at him with huge, serious eyes. While Gina was just standing there. “How are you?” she asked politely.
“Not so good.”
GINA
She was confused by Ace’s answer so she frowned. What else is this guy doing here? What is the new suffering that he will cause her?
“By the way, your favorite leather jacket is there in your closet. Just take it. And take this, too.” She handed Ace the necklace he gave her on her birthday. She also grabbed his grandmother’s ring and twisted it up on her finger.
Please God, I hope I can get through this without crying.
“Don’t take it off,” he took her left hand to stop her from taking off the ring.
Her heart almost jumped when she saw that Ace was still wearing their wedding ring. She was just stunned by what she saw. Why is he still wearing their wedding ring? Well, when she found out that their marriage was invalid, she took it off right away. Except for the engagement ring that was given to her by Ace that she is still wearing.
Ace approached her, then framed her face with his hands. He stared at her, and she also stared at his green eyes that seemed to be hypnotizing. “I missed you, Gina.”
She seemed to catch her breath when she heard Ace say that.
“I missed you, too.” She whispered softly as her heart beat grew stronger. “Oh Ace, I missed you so much. So very, very much.”
He suddenly grabbed her nape and kissed her hard, a light drag of flesh to flesh until her arms rose and wrapped around Ace’s neck. Suddenly he picked her up.
“You have lost weight. You are so light, it looks like you didn’t take care of yourself while I was gone.” his voice was husky and oh so dear. She really misses this man so much.
“That’s not important anymore,” she said, pressing her lips to his neck, twining her arms around him as he laid her on the bed, pulling him down with her, making him her blanket and her comforter.
She knew she should wait for the words from him. The right words. Or maybe she should ask him first. What exactly is her place in his heart? “Ace–”
“Shhh. Can we talk later. For now I just want to hold you, feel you, and hear your sighs of pleasure. Because I will never miss the moments when I can hold you, like this.”
He kissed her once more. She was still clinging to his neck and deepening the kiss. His tongue slid across her lips, dipped inside as she opened to him. A primal sound vibrated from his chest to hers. She sucked in a breath and wrapped her legs around him as he moved against her, pressing kisses to her forehead, her eyelids, her nose, her cheeks, and finally to her mouth again.
ACE
Needing to be free from restriction, he stripped his clothes off between their hungry kisses, then forced himself to slow down, to make a memory of the moment. He stretched out beside her, leaning across her to turn on the lampshade beside her bed.
“You are so beautiful,” he admired the beauty in front of him
.
“Ace,” she whispered.
He pushed her shirt over her head and shoved it across the bed. Brushing a satin bra strap aside, he kissed the smooth flesh of her shoulder and tugged the strap lower and lower, until he peeled the lace away from her left breast. He slightly moved away to observe Gina.
“Oh please,” she moaned.
He ran his thumb over the hard nipple, shifting his gaze to her face as she arched her body, she moaned and closed her eyes. She arched higher, holding her breath when he reached for her breast and sucked her left breast while he started stroking the other.
“I want you,” she pleaded.
He pulled the tiny peak into his mouth, flicking the hook of her bra open to bare her other breast, revealing in the way she pushed herself towards him, celebrating the sounds she made. Her words were little more than growls. “I need you, Ace.”
An inch at a time, he unwrapped her, until all that was left was her lacy panties. He angled down to slide the piece of temptation off her, then he balled the fabric and brushed her body with long and steady strokes. She gasped as the lace scraped her nipples.
“I—”
“Shhh… Let me take care of you, sweety.”
GINA
Ace’s lips followed every path of his hands. He was tasting her. Every inch of her. There was nothing she could say, nothing she could do but to savor it. And when he touched her most sensitive spot, she moaned. And then she screamed when the sensation was too hot. She cried out his name as she came as close to her peak. Ace nudged her legs, parting them open. Captured her mouth for a sweet, plundering kiss as he entered her. Then he was inside her, stretching her, filling her, taking her up again fast and hard until she slammed into the climax that waited at the top. She felt her release and she also felt Ace release inside of her. Both of them collapsed with each other’s arms after that. They chase the same breath. He smiled as she sighed loudly. Ah, but there was such pleasure, such contentment and such endless joy.
Ace left on top of her and he sat next to her. He rested a hand on her abdomen, moving his thumb up and down, stroking the hollow of her belly and the padded jut of her hip bone. “Do you think you’re pregnant?”
She stiffened at what he said. She shoved his hand off her and rolled away. “Get out of my bed. Get out of my life.”
