pulled them up to brush his lips against my
knuckles.
"You are a smooth talker, sir."
"Likewise." He put our intertwined hands down
and a smile crept along his statuesque face. Every time he smiled,
it made his dark eyes light up and brought me back to the first
moment I met him the moment he saved my life. If I wasn't already
excited to see him, the smile was all I needed to get him off the
elevator and lead him to my bedroom.
"It's smaller than the rooms at Circe, and
you are to share it with someone else, but it's..." Ace paused,
walking from one end of the room to the other in only a few long
strides. "Nice."
"Well I'm sure you will be able to make
yourself at home." I slid past him and sat down on the bed, patting
the spot next to me.
Ace sat down and then laid down, spreading
his long body across my bed. "Yeah, I can deal with this."
Seeing him stretched across the bed, his
hands behind his head and every muscle rippling through his arm,
made me want him so bad. My V card was still very much intact, but
after all of my run-ins with death and after seeing Ace so close to
it, the fear of losing him forever made me want to give up that
card in a bad way.
I laid down next to him, placing my head on
his chest and trailing my fingers up and down his chiseled
stomach.
"Princess, if you keep touching me like that
I'm not going to be able to stay still for long."
I lifted my head, meeting his dark eyes with
my own. There was nothing more that I wanted to do than to get lost
in them. His hand crept up to the side of my face before he pulled
me down until his mouth was on mine. The sliding of his tongue
between my lips was the go ahead I needed to move from my spot next
to him and climb onto his beautiful body. His hands were on fire,
sending the spark all the way through my back while his fingertips
scaled my bare arms. My body pressed against his cold shell made me
want to cry out with a mixture of fire and ice against my skin.
While his hands were against my shoulders, my
fingers made their way to the buttons on his shirt. He'd become
accustomed to wearing plaid, pearl snap shirts over his temperature
control suit when we were in public. Normally I thought the shirts
looked silly, but with the easy access they provided me, I suddenly
liked them more.
Ace gently pushed my shoulders back, prying
our lips apart until he was looking right at me. "Alex, what are
you doing?"
I widened my eyes, like a kid who just got
caught with their hand in the cookie jar. I kept my fingers on the
last button of his shirt, exploring my mind for anything sexy I
could say to get the mood back.
"I'm thinking of taking a class in
extraterrestrial anatomy and thought you would be the perfect
teacher." I smiled, trying to make it sexy and wiggling my eyebrows
at the same time.
Ace scowled, his nostrils flaring like he
just smelled something terrible. "I have no idea what that is
supposed to mean."
"You know..." I ran my finger down from the
top of his chest to just below his navel. He still had on his
temperature control suit, but I could still feel every bit of his
tight abdominals underneath it. His muscles clenched underneath my
finger. "Just a little something to show you that I love you."
"Alex." Ace grabbed my wrist, moving my hands
up in the air above his chest. "You don't need to do that, or prove
anything to me."
I pouted. "I'm not trying to prove anything.
We've been together for over a year. We are engaged for Pete's
sake!"
I released my wrists from his grip and
snapped my body back up, so that I sat on his lap with my arms
crossed over my chest. "Is there some reason you are resisting me?
Did you find some hot nurse from Venus in the infirmary and now you
want to leave me?"
Ace groaned, pulling himself up so he was
sitting underneath me. "Princess, I can assure you that there is no
one but you." He leaned in, pressing his forehead to mine. "I just
don't think now is the right time."
I let out a deep breath, blowing it out
knuckles.
"You are a smooth talker, sir."
"Likewise." He put our intertwined hands down
and a smile crept along his statuesque face. Every time he smiled,
it made his dark eyes light up and brought me back to the first
