The Trap Of Ace

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 48 – He froze.

Slowly pulling away, he cupped my cheeks. “What did you say?”

I bit my lip. But the shy smile broke out on my face anyway.

“What did you say, Rosebud? Did you just,” he gulped, his eyes were desperate, “did you just say that you…”

“I love you.”

He let out a shaky breath, the intense emotions swirling in his grey orbs seared my heart.

“Say it again,” he rasped.

Pulling him closer, I brushed my lips against his desirable ones. “I love you, Achilles Valencian. I love you so much that it hurts.”

Heaving a sigh, he engulfed me into his chest. I placed my cheek right above his heart listening to his fast heartbeat.

I didn’t complain about his vice grip around me as we stayed like that for some moments. Though I didn’t like his silence.

“Ace?” I whispered into his chest.

“Just a minute, Rosebud.” He took a deep breath into my hair. “Say it again.”

I smiled. “I love you.”

“Again.”

Laughing, I smacked his chest. “No, I already told it three times.”

Slightly leaning back from me, enough to look at my face, he placed his palm on my cheek. “Please, baby. Just once more. I want to hear it again. You don’t know how much I’ve waited to hear those words. How many times I’ve dreamt of you saying those words to me.”

Something bloomed into my heart. Blinking away my tears, I placed a kiss on his chest. “I love you, Ace. I love you so freaking much! More than anything in the world.”

I looked up at him. His eyes were closed as if feeling every word that left my lips.

“Happy now?”

Those stormy grey eyes met my turquoise again. A content smile stretched across his heavenly features as he pulled me in his gentlest kiss. Not the demanding punishing kisses.

But to my dissatisfaction, he pulled away, leaving me crave for more.

“Come with me?” he asked, running his hand through my locks.

“Where?”

“Somewhere where I can have you all to myself.” His heated gaze ran slid down to my cleavage. “Did I tell you how beautiful you’re looking in that dress? More than I’d imagined you’d look.”

I blushed.
