Page 60 of Until Ace

“Never did I think fucking could be anything but fucking. I never thought I would consider it beautiful, let alone life-changing. But with you, Mandy, it’s all that and more. Thank you, baby, for finally letting me love you.”

Oh, God.

He really was waiting for me to make the first move.

Not only that, but he was giving me time so I wouldn’t freak out from the depth of his emotions.

“It was my pleasure, Ace,” I say, then continue, “Literally.”

He chuckles, and I feel it all over and in me. My muscles spasm around him, making him grunt.

“You wore me out, baby. I’ve barely slept in the last two weeks, having your body right within my reach and not allowing myself to do anything about it, since you weren’t ready yet. Now, thank fuck, you are, and we can do it again soon. But right now, I need to clean you up and get some decent shut-eye, so I can wrangle five orgasms out of you on the next go.”

My lips part, hearing his words, and I ask, “Five?”

His mouth quirks, and he mutters, “Of all I said, she only focused on the number of times I plan on making her come.”

“Ace, that’s not possible,” I breathe.

“It just became my mission in life,” he says, half-serious, before he presses his lips to mine. “Now, baby, focus.”

I do what he asks and focus on him.

“I know it’s late for this question, because the deed is done, but are you on the pill?”

“Yes,” I mutter, my brows pulling together. “Why?”

“Fucked you without a condom.” His eyes shift between mine, waiting for my reaction.

“Okay.” I lick my lips. “I’m on the pill, Ace, so we have that part covered. And I swear I’m clean. There wasn’t anyone for a long time, and before that, I got tested, since I had reason to.”

Ace touches his head to my chest for a moment, inhales, then lifts his head up. “Okay, baby.” He squeezes his arms around me. “I’m clean. Part of my yearly physical is to get tested, but just so you know, never have I done that without a condom, Mandy. And when I say never, I mean never.”

“I trust you, Ace,” I say softly.

“Cleaning you up, then sleep.” He brings us back on course.

“Okay, Ace.” My arms wrap tighter around him, but when he slowly pulls out, I let him go.

After cleaning me up, he comes back to bed and gathers me against him.

With my head on his chest, his callused fingers drawing random patterns on the skin of my arm, I drift off to sleep.

Ace

Standing by the bed, I look at Mandy’s sleeping form.

Fuck, she’s beautiful.

And the fuck she gave me tonight… I didn’t lie, the best goddamned sex of my life.

Only I didn’t know it could be more than just a fuck. I suppose with every other woman besides her, that’s all it ever was.

But not with Mandy. With Mandy, it almost felt like a religious experience.

I half wonder if it will feel like that the next time, but I have to settle with the conclusion that I’ll just have to wait and see.

She stirs, her hand shifting on the sheets as if she’s searching for me.
