Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 65

Robbie and I had slowly become more than just lovers, more than what we ever were. There was something about kissing him for no reason, subtly flirting in and out of bedrooms, letting him touch me like he had the right to...

Then all that holding his hand and gently steering him to my bedroom.

That was more romantic, more real and more loving. The nights where we waited for our baby to sleep and when he would pull me to him, I enjoyed not saying 'no', not putting up any kind of protests, because he was the one I loved, he was the one I wanted to feel that love...

I would hum and mewl to all his deceptively innocent questions which only a demon would ask his mate.

I was missing out so much in my life. I should have done this a very long time ago but... spilled milk.

He was my husband, though we had not married, may be never would but... Robbie would never fit a boyfriend description. I could not think of him as my boyfriend. One look at him and 'boyfriend' seemed so small, so inaccurate, so demeaning.

But husband... or mate...

Silly me.

But then what would I call him, again?

The man who had this strut, when he came for me. His eyes had gone half lidded with lust and instead of my lips he kissed only my cheek before pulling me to him off the floor. And I had gone all limp with need, and shyness... the way he held me was all sinful, closer to his chest, like I was precious and he was taking me to pamper me... but... he was not... he was taking me to do all the things that would make a human an animal.

I held on his neck when he walked to his bedroom, me in his hands like a trophy he had won.

When he lowered to his bed, I had only watched him remove his clothes and... again only stared when he removed mine. Yet, I was the one who cradled his face to pull him to a kiss and presented myself.

"Beg me."

I twisted my face away at his command. There was only so much I could handle. I whined adorably but he was no relenting. "Beg me for my..."

I covered his mouth and he stopped moving, but he took my hand away. "Don't you want it?" He stopped moving after giving me a hard thrust. He knew I did and he knew how much did I want 'it'.

His rhythm was all wrong now, this was not how... "BEG."

"Please." I was flushed yet blood flew to my cheeks.

"Please what?"

I whined again because it was so humiliating, but did he care about that? "Please... in me."

I heard a growl and his warmth spread deep in my body and soul. I loved it because he was leaving his proof of love in me.

He lewdly licked my bottom lip. "Enjoyed it?"

God, please... It was not right... He did not just ask me that. "Please Robbie..."

"Tell me, love."

I tried very hard but he was always so persistent. "Yes." I whispered shyly to his neck and then hid in his chest.

"Really?"

This man!

I thumped his chest in embarrassed but gave a small nod. "Look at me, Angel."

"No."

He chuckled. "Shy?"

"Mmm..."

"Why?" What was with him and one o one questions? "You are mine and I am yours."

I smiled to his chest and he felt it.

"Kitten." He rubbed his nose on my forehead.

I came out from my hiding and he smiled at me with love.

Yes, love.

No man would smile like that if he was not in love. And I blushed before played with the angel clasp of his chain that was swinging in front of my face.

"You are so perfect."

"Mmm... enough with the sweet words. You got what you want." I playfully glared at him before pushing him until he lied down next to me and I found my comfortable spot his chest, my feet tangling with his.

"I still can't believe it, sometimes."

"Hm?"

"You are here, in my arms and I..." I leaned up and bit his lip.

"If this is a dream you can come for me and chain me up in your bed."

He stared at me without any emotion. "I just might."

I giggled before caressing his hard and perfect body, tracing his old scars, tugging on his hair... and playing.

Just playing with the man I loved. I listened to his sweet words and I soaked up all his attention, until exhaustion made me fall asleep. He kissed the back of my hand promising me again to make everything right.

My Precious Demon.

We both woke up to his phone ringing and I whined, climbing on top of him.

"Yeah... What? No... I am busy..." He kissed my forehead. "Yes, I can't come... because I am busy... I really am... if I leave now, it would be the end of the world..." Robbie kissed my lips and I smiled dreamily at him. "Yes, very very important stuff... Why would I lie?... No! Call Chance... I will come tomorrow..." I sighed at his adorable angry face. "Fine! Yeah yeah, I heard... I will be there... Set the conference ready. Why haven't I killed you yet?... Yeah yeah yeah..."

He dropped the call and rolled me under him making me squeak. He rubbed his body on mine, gave me a hard kiss and sat up.

God! He was so gorgeous.

All male! So hot!

I licked my lips but he did not see me. Good!

I popped my head on my elbow and he smiled taking my naked form from head to toe. He smugly winked at me before making an obscene action with his tongue.

And that made me hotter.

What beast in me did he unleash?

When he cracked his neck, sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to get up, I put my finger on his nape... slowly dragging it down the curve of his spine.

"Playing with a sleeping tiger, Kitten." He warned with a playful tone.

"Tiger? More like... a pussy cat." The man turned around his right eyebrow which had a scar - so sexy- rose perfectly up.

Smug Bastard.

A hot smug bastard.

"Is that why you call me Daddy?"

"I will never call you Daddy. You are a baby." I took my finger away before popping it on the edge of my mouth, slowly rubbing my tongue on the tip and his eyes darkened.

"You will call me whatever I demand you to call me."

Yes!

"You can try... and fail." I shrugged and rubbed my right thigh on my left.

He jumped on me making me shriek with laughter. "Use that tongue for better use, you siren. All that pretty talk..."

I giggled and hugged him to my body. "I love you so much."

"Do you need me?"

"I need you, baby."

He sighed. "I need you too... so much... never going to let you leave... well, I have to go to office now, but you get what I am saying..."

I pouted. "Don't go yet... Daddy."

"I thought you said I was not Daddy but a Baby..."

"You are my everything." He really was. I loved him in all the ways there was to love.

"So how about Baby Daddy. I will be your Baby Daddy." I shrieked with laughter again as he talked non sense in his board room voice. "Call me Baby Daddy."

"Ewwww... No..." I giggled and his phone rang again.

"Fuuuuck! I have to go Angel. Or they will start ringing all our phones."

"No." I hugged him like a Koala.

"You say that now, but when they complain about my being late, you will chew my ear off." He pecked my chest, ears, cheeks and lips. "Okay, you are now seriously changing my mind. So, up!" He swatted my butt and sat up again, groaning.

I wanted to play with him some more. I wanted to hear him praising me.

"Wipe that pout off, imp... you are my devil. You will throw me under the bus when they complain about my tardiness."

"Or..." I gulped facing away.

"Or what?"

"You could tell me that I kept you in bed."

I kept looking around my room without giving him any attention but I knew he was frozen, processing my... my what? Permission? My approval? Jesus! I did not know.

I felt a huge weight on my body the next second. "Angel... did you? Are you sure? Really... I can wait... I know you never wanted anyone to know... I don't mind... I..." He rambled and I shut him up with a kiss.

"I want to... I told you why I did not want..."

"I will make it right... I need tim..."

"Shhh... I know... Robbie, but if you want... we could... I don't know... they are your close friends... they really care about you... so..."

"Really, Angel?"

"Really. Some of them already suspect and I want them to know that I am yours."

He hugged me tighter and kissed my head several times. We forgot to get naughty but this was more intimate.

"Robbie..."

"Mmm?"

"I want to tell Uncle Jack. At least to him, I have to tell the way we are supposed to. I... he is my family."

"I want whole world to know, Angel. Do you want to wait until he knows?"

"No... we need to go there and say it personally. You tell your friends now, Baby Daddy."

"Fuck! You are so perfect."

I giggled as he showered me with affection and sweet words.

I smiled at the mangoes on our dining table. I shook my head as I peeled another one because I was not joking when I said I was craving Alphonso. We were almost asleep after another round of 'playing' by my demon and I blurted it out of nowhere at midnight.

Tada! Alphonso mangoes for my Angel.

Robbie was such a dork sometimes to write that on our card.

But I ate one, first thing in the morning, then another during breakfast, then another one as juice, now this was my snack.

God, these were so delicious.

I did not know when he slipped out of our bed. But when I woke up early in the morning so I could have 'me time' without my babies tucking themselves under me, Alphonso was on my dining table in their cute wooden boxes.

I burped a little because I was basically shoving pieces after pieces in my mouth.

Dammit, Ace, slow down.

I put rest of them safely away, so I could pull them out in less than an hour. Hey, don't judge me... they are so yum!

"DAVEY...." My Little Lia called out and came running with her arms already stretched out for me to lift her up and I did.

"Hey, Princess." I kissed her cheeks and furrowed my eyes seeing her troubled.

"Daddy angee..."

"At you?"

"No... phopho."

"Ah! It is okay baby... Daddy is scolding meanies in his office." But she did not look so satisfied with my answer and I frowned. It was not the first time she saw him lose his cool on phone. It never really bothered her and Robbie consciously moved away if he did not like what he was hearing from the other side.

Lia popped her thumb in her mouth and refused to give me her hand to hold.

That bad, huh?

We were trying to let that bad habit go and normally giving me that drool covered baby hand to hold usually worked.

I took a piece of Alphonso and gave her to eat but she turned her face away.

Okay... So daddy was mad, really really mad.

I kissed her forehead. "Let us go find Daddy." She dropped her head on my shoulder and sucked on her thumb.

Wow! Lia was right.

"...DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW IT?... I don't care... then take it to court, we will see that there... I want a divorce and that is final... It should not matter to anyone... Don't act so surprised... I asked you to file one before she got pregnant, do you know how old my baby is now?... Yeah, exactly!... FIND A WAY!!! YOU ARE THE LAWYER!"

I stood right behind him and slowly put my right hand under his shirt, caressing his tensed back.

"... Terry, either you file one or you are fired."

He ended the call and I took his phone from him before he could fling it across the room.

"Give a kiss to daddy." I told Lia and she leaned to her daddy but Robbie plucked her off me and kissed her instead.

"Daddy is fine, Baby Love. Just stupid people."

"No, stupee, Daddy. Davey say stupee peeple cawl peeple stupee."

"Yeah, coz your Davey so smart, Baby Angel."

Lia nodded approvingly.

I smiled. Robbie called Lia what he calls me with a 'Baby' in front.

Baby Love.

Baby Kitten.

Baby Angel.

Oh and that one time she poured juice over his suit... Baby Brat!

How was that even my...

Huff!

I dropped my forehead on his biceps. Lia was giggling at Robbie's antics and funny faces. She kicked out of his embrace when she knew her daddy was fine and happy, before running off to play.

"Our baby is worried about your anger." I pecked his chest pulling him to the kitchen to give him some juicy mangoes. "You know I will wait for you, right?"

"But I don't want to you to wait. This has been dragging for so long. I... just... I want all things you want too. Maybe even more than you. And... I hate being helpless."

I sat on the kitchen counter with him between my legs and hugged him. "Divorce is a messy process Daddy, we have to be patient."

"I know... I am just..." He took a deep sniff of my neck and I giggled feeling ticklish. He smiled against my skin and I felt so powerful knowing that I had this effect on him. "This marriage is messing with me. I thought I had it in control, I thought I was doing fine... but I am not... I have you and Lia... You are my... my..." He gulped trying hard to find words.

"Your priority?"

"More than that. My existence, if it makes any sense." He closed his eyes and rested his forehead on mine. "I wanted to have these moments; you right here, in my arms... from the moment I first saw you... to have this life exactly the way we are right now. And... now you want it too. I hate that I have to wait again."
