He makes a wounded expression. “Baby doll...” he says, in warning.

“Oh, why not? I think it’s fun to watch you squirm,” I tell him, giving him a wink as I pass by him and take a seat on the couch which earns me a smack on my ass.

He places the food on the coffee table before grabbing me around my waist. I squeal in shock. Ace swings me around before tossing me on the couch, his body coming down to cover mine. He starts to tickle me relentlessly while I do everything I can to get the upper hand. I push, I kick, I squirm but nothing is helping. I’m laughing so hard that tears are leaking down my cheeks and my stomach physically hurts.

Ace stops suddenly and leans down to kiss the corners of my eyes to keep anymore tears from falling down my face. I turn my mouth and manage to capture his with mine. His tongue slips into my mouth and it’s like he’s attempting to devour my soul. His hands run up my sides only coming to a stop when he reaches my wrists, pinning my arms above my head. His index finger traces the inside of my wrist which he knows drives me insane.

Ace

Jaxx and I were at the shop working on his bike. It was a slow day so he was taking advantage of it. Pierce was supposed to join us after he got off from his day job. Jaxx and I had been so preoccupied with Kynlee and Kenndrix that we hadn’t seen much of each other unless it was in passing at the girl’s place and Pierce…I don’t know when the last time was I saw him. “So how are things with you and Kenndrix going?”

“Great man!” he replies, from his side of the bike. I chuckle at his response, he sits up and looks at me. “No man I mean it. It’s really great! She’s amazing and I love her.”

I stare at him for a moment. I don’t know how he can just say those words so easily, “Youloveher?”

“Yeah without a doubt. She’s unlike any girl I’ve ever met before and I can’t help it,” he shakes his head, a smile stretching across his face before disappearing behind the bike again. “So, what about you and Kynlee?”

“What about us?”

Jaxx scoffs, “Okay, obviously you don’t want to talk about it.”

We continue to work until the sun disappears and the lights in the parking lot kick on. We hear Pierce pull in with the sound of his revved engine and music blaring. Jaxx and I walk over to stand at the open doors. Pierce gets out and makes his way over to us, “You aren’t going to believe what I just heard.”

“What?” I ask.

“Apparently, Royal Eternity regrouped and they just got signed to a major record label and you’ll never guess who the new lead singer is,” Pierce tells us. I’m shocked to hear that Royal Eternity, the band that Pierce and I had once been a part of, are now going to be rock stars. I feel a twinge of jealously. I had once dreamed of being just that, a rock star, but Royal Eternity had so many artistic issues that I eventually gave up and left the band, Pierce had followed shortly after and from what I had heard the entire band had disbanded shortly after that. This news was kind of a shock.

“Who’s the lead singer?” Jaxx asks.

Pierce shot me a look before he answers, “Enzo Jones.”

Enzo was now in a band that I founded, really? First Kynlee and now my band. What was next? The jealously that takes over me was not what I had expected. I didn’t really have too many issues with him until the night at JamesTown when he had beenall over Kynlee. Ever since then I didn’t care to see him. I wasn’t sure what to do with this new fact that he had now moved into another aspect of my life.

When I pull into Kynlee’s parking lot with the Chinese food I make a promise to myself that tonight we will just eat and watch whatever movies she wants. It isn’t going to be about sex or anything physical. I want her to know she means more to me than just that and the only way I know how to show it without actually saying it was this way.

A few minutes later and I’m mentally cursing myself for doing exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do. However, I can’t take all the blame Kynlee had started it and I can’t help it if she’s addicting. I let my hands run all over her body and I know nothing will ever feel this right, only Kynlee. I pin her arms above her head causing her sleeves to push up her arms, exposing her wrists. I know how sensitive the skin is on her wrist and how it drives her insane.

Finally, I pull my mouth away from hers. I don’t want her to think that everything with us has to be about sex. I close my hand around hers and pull her up with me so that were sitting on the couch. I place a kiss on the top of her head. “So how was your day?”

I feel her excitement before she answers, “Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you! I met an agent today Mr. Sobolak, he wants to represent me.”

“Oh yeah? For what?” I ask.

Kynlee pulls back to look at me. “With my modeling.”

“Oh, so were back to that?”

A disgusted sound escapes her mouth. “Are you kidding me Ace? We never left that.”

I hold up my hands in surrender, “I’m sorry I just thought you were over taking your clothes off for money.”

“You make it sound like I’m a stripper!”

A harsh laugh fills the room around us. “Might as well be at this point.”
