Kaida’s eyes met Ace as soon as she stepped inside. Her heart raced as she watched his hazel and grey eyes darkening with desire,need and longing. His eyes raked over her body from head to toe hungrily like a starved beast.

She remained frozen on the spot as Ace stood up and walked towards her in long powerful strides. His black leather jacket strained against his muscles. His black t-shirt, sticking to his body like a second skin. And the bulge in his pants was all she needed to know Ace was still very much attracted to her. He still wanted her.

“What are you doing here, Leonessa?”Ace asked stopping right in front of her.

Her heart throbbed at the nickname. She had missed the sound of his voice so much. “I came to see you” Kaida replied.

“After so long?”Ace asked raising an eyebrow, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides as if he was resisted the urge to touch her.

“I can't live without you, Ace. You are my Home. You're real, you're vulnerable with me, and you're unapologetically YOU. That's what makes you feel like home and I can't go on without you for another second” Kaida said pouring all the love she felt for him in her words.

Ace’s swallowed and stepped closer to her. “Do you have any idea how much I missed you? How hard these past few weeks were?”

“You told me to leave,” Kaida said before she could stop herself. Fuck, she hadn't meant to sound so defensive.

“That's because I was mad. Fucking mad at you, at the world, at the fucked up situation we had found ourselves in” Ace said staring into her eyes darkly.

Kaida sighed before confessing what she had kept buried inside for so long. “Look, I know our story didn't start in the best way but I love you desperately. I'm crazily in love with you Ace King. Punish me all you want for hurting you but please don't, don't let me go”

Ace cursed under his breath before wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her hard. Kissing her like she was his oxygen and everything he had been yearning for.

Kaida gripped his jacket and kissed him back moaning at the feel of his tongue brushing against hers. She had missed this, so damn much.

“I love you so much more, Leonessa. I'm never letting you go again but I have one condition” Ace whispered pecking her lips.

“What is it?”Kaida asked, holding him tighter.

“No more lies, no more secrets, no more hiding from me. Understood, baby?”Ace asked, tightening his hold on her protectively.

“Understood” Kaida whispered and his lips were back on hers, kissing her with more urgency and need.

“I need you, now.” Ace said before lifting her up and throwing her over his shoulder going upstairs.

Kaida gripped his jacket, her pussy already aching and throbbing in anticipation. She couldn't care less where they were at the moment. What mattered was him. Her mafia boss. The devil that had her heart.

Once they were upstairs away from the noises of the casino. Ace opened a red door and threw her on a soft bed staring into her eyes like he was going to eat her alive.

“Do you trust me, Leonessa?”Ace asked huskily.

“Yes” Kaida breathed, her body tingling with anticipation.

“Good because I'm going to ruin you” Ace said before ripping her dress in half.
