Chapter 2

• A satisfying smile gets on my lips as I snuggle into the soft pillows. For someone who has been into metal cages for years, this is the most amazing thing.
• The pillow grows arms and wraps them around me as I sigh with happiness. Wait . . . pillow grew arms?
• Snapping my eyes open, they are met by a sleeping Ace under me. I look around to find us on the bed with the sheets and our legs tangled together and his arms wrapped around my waist protectively. The last thing I remember was waiting in the bathroom for him which took him a lot longer so I eventually slept in the bathtub itself.
• Setting my chin on his chest I stare at his devilishly handsome face. I couldn't notice all the features of his face before as I am way too scared to look into his dominating eyes.
• His dark brown hair is sticking in all directions making him look like a child. I lean forward and run my fingers through his hair-loving the silky feeling they have.
• I cock my head to the other side staring at his face intently. What did his momma mix in his formula to make him so flawless?
• " Like what you see, kitten ?" a voice muttered huskily when I was in the middle of inspecting his jawline.
• A gasp escapes my lips as I look up at his eyes which surprisingly held mischief instead of arrogance like always.
• Meekly I shake my head as a no when he lets out a chuckle causing his chest to vibrate. He cups my face in his hand and begins caressing it with the pad of his thumb making sparks erupt on my skin.
• " Don't lie to me, kitten. You can be punished for it," he says huskily, planting his other hand on my neck and massaging the area just below my ear.
• I let out a giggle because the sparks caused a tingly feeling in me. Ace seems very much happy with my reaction as he flips us over with me under him and nuzzles his face in the crook of my neck.
• “Ace!” I gasp, when he latches onto my skin, sucking it softly.
• I clutch on the white shirt, giggling like a carefree child as he works on creating sparks in my body.
• His hands move in a circular motion making me feel as if I was getting electrocuted on a low voltage.
• I wrap my legs around his waist flowing at the moment as my giggles and his chuckles fill in the room.
• " Alpha, you up?" the door opens suddenly and someone walks in with the question.
• We freeze in our position looking at the boy staring at us with wide eyes. They both had brown hair just like Ace and familiar faces too, the only difference from Ace was their blue eyes.
• " Ummmm, are you up yet ?" he mumbles again as Ace groans rolling his eyes.
• " What does it look like ?" Ace grumbles as he nods his head.
• " You're awake." he smiles.
• " And I'm busy, so leave," Ace says, making no attempt to move away from me.
• " Okay, I just came to inform you that the Queen has called you for breakfast. " he smiles as his blue eyes sparkle.
• " I'll be there in a few minutes or so." Ace mutters as he nods, running out of the room and closing the door behind him.
• Ace looks back at me and I also stare at him not knowing what to do. He suddenly groans slowly and closes his eyes as if in pain. I look at him in concern and gather all courage in my tiny body, to tap on his shoulder.
• He opens his eyes and leans down toward me.
• " Go there easy kitten, you don't want me to take you right here, do you ?" he asks with a smirk gesturing towards my legs around his waist.
• I frown in confusion at his words. Take me? Take me where?
• Following his words, I take my legs off his waist as he pecks my forehead before getting off the bed.
• " I'll take a quick shower and join them for breakfast. I'll also send a maid for you to take care of you, okay ?" he asks as I nod.
• He smiles caressing my hair as an unknown emotion passes through his eyes.
• " You're such an obedient little kitten. Wonder why the pet trader said you disobey a lot," he mutters mostly to himself before walking into the bathroom leaving me in my thoughts.
• Ace comes back a few minutes later dressed in a crisp white shirt and black tailored pants and picks up perfume from the dresser looking into the mirror while puffing it on himself.
• He turns towards me and pecks my lips lightly making my eyes go wide.
• " Take care, kitten. I'll be back soon." he smiles, walking to the door and closing it behind him.
• I keep looking at the door when the room suddenly feels void. What the hell is wrong with me? I’ve been with myself for years, and I’m very much comfortable being alone. I cannot let a man I met two days ago take over my emotions.
• A sigh escapes my lips as I wrap the sheets lazily over myself and look up at the mirrored ceiling I didn't notice before. It shows back my reflection as I run my fingers through the white shirt I'm wearing. No doubt it’s Ace’s, it even smells like him which I love.
• It’s unhealthy and dangerous, just like poison.
• But he is the only poison I’d drink every damn time.
