I wait to see if she’ll doing it again or wake up, but when she gets to my pillow, she grabs hold, pulls it toward her belly, and folds herself around it, her nose sinking into it.

“Fuck,” I hiss, seeing her like that.

I know what she said tonight was true, about her loving me. It shines through every look she gives me. Every movement is highlighted by it. The moment I’m near, her body sways my way. It’s almost as if our cells are calling to each other, and our bodies are powerless to resist.

Maybe Talon was right.

Maybe it’s the boom.

Whatever it is, I don’t give a fuck.

Especially now, when it’s imperative I deal with whatever she’s hiding from me.

And she’s hiding a lot.

I just hope, when push comes to shove and all I’ve done sees the light of day, she’ll love me enough to forgive me.

“Goddammit,” I curse softly while the woman I love is sleeping peacefully for the first time since I’ve known her. I hate myself, because I know I’ll take away that peaceful sleep once everything is out in the open. I get on my phone, go to Contacts, and find the name I need.

I tap the Call button and lift the phone to my ear.

Once the call connects, I don’t wait for pleasantries. I just say, “We need to meet.” There’s no need to explain further, so I hang up.

He went through his own shitstorm before he got to where he is now, so he’ll know what I need.

I just hope I’ll be able to pull off a miracle afterward and walk away with my girl by my side.

Chapter 13

Mandy

My head falls back as I slowly glide down on Ace’s cock.

“Oh my God,” I half gasp, half moan.

“Fuck,” he grunts, his hands sliding up my belly to my breasts, and he flicks my pebbled nipples with his thumbs, sending a jolt to my clit.

“Yes,” I hiss as I move my hips in small circles.

“Say it again,” he orders, raising his hips, impaling me deeply.

“Yes,” I tease.

He sits up. With one hand going between my shoulder blades, he brings my torso flush to his, the other hand going into my hair. He pulls me closer until the only thing I see is his eyes.

God, there’s a fire burning in them.

“Say my name again.”

“Ace,” I breathe, and he slowly closes his eyes, lowering his face to my neck.

“Clit, baby,” he mutters, and I move my hand between my legs, but before I give in to his command, one which I’m more than happy to oblige, I reach lower, my finger splaying wide around his cock, feeling our connection. Holding my palm to me, spreading my fingers around Ace, I go up, then slowly sink back down, feeling every inch twice—at my entrance with my hand, and inside me.

“Mandy,” Ace grunts and bucks, seeing me palming us.

“Close, honey,” I warn toward the ceiling.

His hand moves from my neck into my hair and twists, coiling it around his fist.
