CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Ace
I grab hold of her shoulders, pushing her back into the hallway, leading to her bedroom. There’s one thing I need right now, and that’s to know she’s mine. I need to bury all these feelings in her and let them come out as something better, something not tainted by the ugliness I see every night.
“What do you need from me?” she asks as we enter the bedroom, and I’m reaching down to undo the belt at my waist.
“You,” I groan when her fingers push mine away. “I need to know this ugliness I see and experience is for something good. I need to know this won’t beat or break me.”
“It won’t, because I won’t let it.” Violet drops to her knees before me, shoving my pants and underwear down around my ankles. Before I know what’s happening, her warm heat has circled my dick, taking it down her throat.
I had been hard before, but now I’m granite as she slides her tongue up and down my length. There’s no finesse tonight, nothing that remotely reminds me of the loving and caring guy I’ve been with her. She grabs hold of my ass cheeks holding me tightly as she works my length.
“Goddamn.” I fist my fingers in her hair, holding onto her tight. Looking down at her, she looks up and our eyes meet. In that moment, I know I can’t do this. While it feels good in the moment, I’ll never take my anger out on her this way. Pushing her away from me, I lift her to her feet, cupping her jaw with my hand. “While I appreciate what you were doing, Vi, I can’t ever use you like that.”
“I want you to,” she pants, putting her arms around my waist. “I want to be that for you.”
“You are,” I whisper, leaning in to kiss her, coaxing her mouth open with my tongue. I taste myself on her tongue, and the feeling is heady, makes me want to roar with approval that this woman is mine. “You are everything to me.”
I don’t know how we get our clothes off, but we do, and as she falls down onto the bed, I follow her, lying over top of her, covering her with my body. Using my hands, I push her wrists up over her head, pressing her down.
“Take what you need, Ace,” she encourages me. “I saw the way you looked when you came home. You don’t need pretty tonight.”
She’s right, I don’t, but I’ll never take anger out on her either.
“You don’t have to hold back for me all the time, maybe I want you unrestrained and passionate.” She hooks her feet behind my ass, pulling me to her. “Maybe sometimes I just want you to shove it in, give me a little bit of pain, and go to town.”
Fuck, her words are making my cock harden further, making the tip leak, and sending all kinds of images to my brain. “Is that what you want?” I put my knees on the bed, prop myself up with my forearms. With my knees I spread her thighs wide.
“Yes!” she shoves her head against the comforter. “Let go, you don’t always have to be so in control. Sometimes out of control is so much fun.”
With those words, I plant myself home, grunting as I do. She responds to my grunt with a moan and groan of her own. Her nails are gripping at my fingers as she holds on. “Like this?”
“Yes, just like that. I love the way you thrust into me,” she whispers at my ear. “Love the way your thighs make room in between mine, love the way you don’t pull all the way out before you shove back in. Your chest rubbing against mine is hot, the way your hot breath pants onto my face. You unrestrained is the best.”
With those words laying between us, I do as she asks. I bend my head down and fuck her in earnest. I don’t withdraw every time, I leave the tip in before I press back into her body. She clenches tightly on me, thrusting against me. I can feel my body tightening, can feel myself about to let go, but I don’t allow myself to.
Instead I put my thumb up to her mouth, let her suck it in, shiver when her tongue circles it like she did the head of my dick, and then I pull back so that I can watch myself slide in and out of her. Using my thumb, I worry it against her clit as I continue the slide into the heaven that is her body.
“Faster.” She pumps against me, her hands moving up her chest to cup her tits and tweak her nipples.
“God, you look so sexy when you do that. Don’t ever hold back what you need.” I give her the words she gave to me.
“Don’t stop.” Her voice is high-pitched, her stomach muscles are clenched, and she’s straining to get there. I know, because I am too.
We’re pushing against each other, making lewd noises in the room, the bed is shaking along with my legs, but I won’t stop until we both get there. And as I feel her tighten against me, and the hot heat jets out of my dick, I say the words that have been on the tip of my tongue for months now.
“I love you, Violet, love you so much. Please don’t leave me.”
I collapse, holding her tightly in my arms, emotion clogging my throat.
“Hey,” she whispers as we pant against one another. “I love you too. I’ve loved you a long time Anthony ‘Ace’ Bailey.”
And in that moment, all is right in my world.

The next day, I’m in a great mood, regardless of what I had to deal with the night before. Most everyone has commented on it, and even though it’s raining, it’s almost as if the sun is shining down everywhere I walk.
“God, you’re annoying today,” Havoc groans as we are packing up and heading back from what turned out to be a false alarm.
We’d gotten a tip from someone inside the high school telling us where a still was, and the same bottles of moonshine we’d found in the school were. What we ended up finding was nothing. So we’d suited up and gone out into the muddy woods for nothing.
“I’m not annoying, you’ve got a stick up your ass,” I fire back at him.
The more pregnant Leighton’s become, the more he’s starting to get on everyone’s nerves.
“Shut the fuck up before I take you and your smug attitude down,” Havoc volleys back at me.
“Oh really? I’ll take you down before you take me down.”
He hands his gun over to Renegade. “Is that right?” he asks, taking his gloves off.
“That’s right.” I hand my gun over to Menace and take my gloves off too.
“Then you better prove it, smartass.”
I groan as he hits first, knocking me down into the mud. But as we roll around, landing punches and generally having a great time, I thank God that I have a boss and men like this to look up to in my life.
