Chapter 15

When they got to her place, he walked her to the door and waited for her to unlock her apartment. He stepped inside and put his arms around her.

“I still wish you would come home with me.”

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she looked into his eyes. He had never stayed overnight at her place before, and she didn’t want him to leave now. “You could stay here tonight.”

“What about your roommates? They might not like me staying over, especially that Brett guy.”

“He’s not actually living here, though it may seem like it since he spends every night here when Eve’s home. I promise you they won’t mind. But if you’d rather not stay, I’ll understand,” she said as she started unbuttoning his shirt.

There was no way in hell he was going to leave now, so picking her up in his arms, he smiled at her. “I sure hope your roommates don’t come home too soon,” he said as he carried her to her bedroom, and since he had been here before, he knew exactly where to go.

She had a good idea why he said that and started kissing the side of his neck. “They could be home at any time.”

“Then I hope they have some earplugs because what I’m going to do to you will make you scream your head off,” he said as he entered her bedroom. He kicked the door shut with his foot and carried her over to the bed and laid her down.

She watched as he removed his shirt, he then kicked off his shoes. Her core began to throb, and her heart started racing when he placed his hand on her ankle and removed her shoe with the other. When he had taken off her other shoe, he pulled her up. He turned her around and pulled the zipper on her dress down. He kissed her neck as he slid the straps of her dress down, letting it fall to the floor. She put her hands behind his head and pulled him down on the bed on top of her.

He moved his lips from hers and started kissing along her neck; he knew how much she got turned on when he did that. It also turned him on the way she would arch her neck and the way she would moan. He cursed himself for not removing her bra when he reached her breasts and was unable to suck on them. He would have torn off her bra, but he could tell it was new, so he lifted her up just enough to remove it from her body. The panties were also new, so he pulled them down, trying not to go all caveman and tear them off of her.

Making love to her after confessing his love for her seemed all that sweeter; there was something different about their lovemaking. It could have been the sweet way she was looking at him or the way she ran her hands over his shoulders and back. Just the touch of her fingers sent little sparks of electricity coursing through his body. Being inside a woman never felt as good as it did when he slid his manhood inside her and felt her walls wrapping around his cock.

“Oh my gosh, you have no idea what it feels like being inside you. I could stay like this forever,” he said as he continued thrusting inside her.

Her heart was so full of love, having heard him confess his love to her made making love with him so much better. It wasn’t just sex, it was so much more than that. That night his lovemaking was more passionate and intense than it had ever been before. During their ride to ecstasy, and she screamed out his name over and over, she prayed that the others weren’t home yet and heard them.

After he made love to her, she thought she couldn’t take anymore, but then realized he wasn’t done with her yet. Her legs were tossed over his shoulders as he entered her again and started thrusting even harder and faster. They were both sweating and panting like a couple of sex-crazed animals. Then finally, after the third time, he took her, they lay together, both drained and exhausted. After declaring their love for one another once again, they finally drifted off into a deep sleep.

With the sun shining through her blinds, it woke her up. Looking over at the man who had stolen her heart, she smiled. Not wanting to wake him, she got out of bed quietly, slipped on a robe, and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. By the time she was done and had come back to the bedroom, he was just waking up.

He smiled at her and stretched, and since the covers were not on him, he let her see what she had enjoyed during the night. “There you are, I was wondering where you had gotten to.”

“I went and took a shower, you should take one too, and then I’ll make us some breakfast.”

He looked at his suit that was on the floor all crumpled up. “Damn, I wish I had an extra pair of clothes here with me. I’m going to look like quite the sight in this suit.”

She sat down on the bed and leaned over and kissed him. “Go take a shower, and I’ll see if Brett has some clothes that you can borrow.”

After kissing each other for a few minutes, she finally stopped him and told him to go take a shower. She heard noises coming from the kitchen and knew that the other two were awake; this was the perfect opportunity to ask Brett if he had any clothes that might fit Ace.

Eve looked up and smiled at her. “Well, it looks like somebody had company last night,” she said, pointing her finger at the jacket that was draped across the chair.

Rosalee’s face turned a bright red. “Yes, Ace spent the night, and he’s taking a shower right now.” She looked over at Brett. “I was wondering if you would have something that he could wear; his suit somehow got all wrinkled.”

“It just so happens that I have a pair of jeans and a pullover that I bought without checking the size, and they’re too small for me, but I know they will fit him perfectly. I’ll just run over to my apartment and get them for you.”

When he was gone, she sat down with a cup of coffee, and when she saw the way Eve was grinning, she rolled her eyes at her. “Okay, what is that look for?”

“From the sounds that were coming from your bedroom, I gather the sex was really good. And here I always thought you were such a quiet little thing, who knew that you were such a beast in the bedroom.”

“Oh my God, I didn’t think you were home.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, I’m just glad that you and your boss are making a go of it. So what happens now?”

“Well, for one thing, we’re going to start dating, as in going out to dinner and such. We’re not going to make a big production of it at work, there we plan on remaining professional. But we are no longer going to keep it a secret from the others. Then we’re just going to take it one day at a time. But he did tell me again that he loved me and that he has for a long time now.”

That was all they got to say because Brett walked in right then and handed her the clothes.

“You can just tell him to keep them as they don’t fit me anyway.”

"Thank you, we really appreciate it. He should be done with his shower, so I’ll just go take these into him now."

“I’ve made extra pancakes and sausages, so you and Ace can have them, and I’ll put on a fresh pot of coffee,” Brett said as he went over to the pot and started preparing it.

When she got into the bedroom, he was standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked so sexy with his skin still damp, and she knew exactly what was under that towel, which got her hot. Thinking such dirty thoughts made her blush as she handed him the clothes. “Brett says that he bought these new and they’re too small for him, and that they would fit you, so you can just keep them.”

He took the clothes from her and smiled. He could tell by the look on her face that she was getting horny, and he enjoyed making her that way. “For a guy that hated me, he sure is being awfully kind.”

“It’s not that he hated you, he just thought you were using me.”

He dropped the clothes on the bed and cupped her face in the palms of his hands. “You look so beautiful when you’re horny. Maybe I should take care of that little problem you have before we get dressed.”

Her eyes went wide as saucers, and she backed away. There was no way she was going to let the others hear another round of their lovemaking. “No, we can’t because Brett has breakfast made for us, and they’re waiting for us to join them.”

He chuckled, dropping his towel, he reached for the clothes and started getting dressed. “Aren’t you going to drop your robe and get dressed?”

She was nervous and cleared her throat. “I will once you leave.”

“I think I should wait for you in case Brett decides to punch me in the face for staying with you last night.”

“He’s not going to do that, and he’s the one that told me to tell you to go out and have some breakfast, and he’s even making a fresh pot of coffee. Now go on, I’ll be out in a few minutes,” she said as she practically pushed him out the door. She knew that once she dropped her robe in front of him, he would pounce on her.

Ace made his way to the kitchen. “Morning,” he said to the other two.

“Come and sit down, I’m sure you can use some refreshment. You must be dying of thirst by now,” Eve said, grinning from ear to ear.

Though he was slightly embarrassed, he sat down and accepted the cup of coffee that Brett handed him. “Thank you, I could sure use this coffee.”

“You’re welcome, just give me a few minutes to heat up your breakfast, and by that time, Rosalee should be out then.”

Ace was quite pleased with the change in Brett. He was no longer hostile towards him and much friendlier.

When she finally came out of the bedroom, she had on a pair of jeans and a cute little white blouse. As soon as she sat down, a plate of food was placed in front of her. She hadn’t realized how hungry she was until she got a whiff of the sausages and pancakes. “This smells so delicious.”

During breakfast, the two men started talking, and when Brett asked Ace what he liked to do to relax, he was excited to hear that he was into fishing.

“Oh wow, you and I have that in common. It’s been a while since I’ve rented a boat and took it out and went fishing. You and I ought to do that sometime, but it will have to be when I’m on leave again.”

Ace smiled. “I would love to do that. Just let me know when, and I’ll arrange for a boat, and maybe the ladies would like to join us.”

“Oh gross, I’m not really one for that type of activity,” Eve said as she wrinkled up her nose.

Brett had to laugh. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we guys will do the fishing, and you women can sit back and relax and drink margaritas.”

Well, her eyes lit up at that. “Oh, then you can count me in.”

“How about you, Rosalee, would you like to do that?” Ace asked her after he took her hand and pulled her onto his lap.

She wrapped one arm around his neck. “I would love it as long as I get my own fishing pole. And don’t you two men look at me like that, back home I went fishing all the time, and I bet I can kick your ass at catching them.”

They all got quite a chuckle out of that. The men all thought she was just bluffing, but Eve knew that Rosalee loved fishing. After all, it was a small town, and there weren’t a lot of things to do, and she had always gone with her father and his friends fishing.

“So what are your plans for today?” Brett was curious as to whether or not Ace was going to just take off and leave or if he was going to stay true to his word and spend time with her outside the office.

“I thought I’d take my girl here out for a drive and maybe stop at the beach for a while. Or maybe we’ll go to the zoo and then later grab a bite to eat. That is if she wants to spend the day with me,” he said, turning his head to look at her.

She was so touched that he wanted to go out and do things that included her. “I would love to spend the day with you, and whatever you decide is okay with me. Just as long as we’re together,” she said, lowering her head, she kissed him.

Ace looked over at Eve and Brett. “You guys are more than welcome to join us.”

“Thanks, buddy, but my time with Eve is short, and I want to spend every moment alone with her that I can.”
