That smile was so unfair. We ended up laughing together and I was quite relieved that he wasn’t offended by what I just said. I wondered if he meant it, though, about wanting to be a househusband. I felt like his job was something that he could be proud of, and I had no idea why he didn’t seem to love it. I stared at Ace for a while longer as I leaned against the counter. No, there’s no way that I can work and feed someone who lives a life like Ace Hills. “Take a seat at the table. I’ll serve you food,” Ace said.“I’ll help you,” I quickly offered. “No need. Just sit down, Rina,” Ace refused as he waved me towards the long marble dining table in the room. There were so many chairs that I had a hard time deciding which one to sit on. I couldn’t help but wonder if Ace brought guests over often. With the size of this place, he could easily host a party. Ace served us food before taking the seat opposite from me at the dining table. Ace was spot on when he said that he could fix up a
“Money sure can buy many things, huh…” I murmured as I stood next to the swimming pool with my eyes on the cityscape that stretched as far as the sky could see. “Sure, it can, but then again, there are many things that money can’t buy either. Not saying having money is a bad thing…” Ace replied casually. Ace wrapped his arms loosely around my body from behind and I leaned back into his warmth. I wonder if we’ll still be together when the season changes and when this season repeats itself. Year after year after year, will we still be together just like this? “What are you thinking about?” Ace asked when the silence between us stretched on. “Hmm…how I want to head inside and look at more of your books,” I replied as I turned around in his arms to offer him my smile. I must have been too shy to tell him my honest thoughts. Also, I didn’t want him to think that I still felt quite insecure about our relationship. “Sure…” Ace murmured with slight confusion.This time, I was the one wh
Ace was the trendsetter in the industry and the company had improved and grown so much since he took over as the CEO. Just like other celebrities, it wasn’t surprising that his earlier works are probably not as polished as it was today. However, that only made me want to see his earlier works more than ever. Nowadays, Ace rarely produces any of his own independent work anymore. The role of CEO kept him busy and all the work that he led were major projects that involved many team members including myself such as Project Alpha. Although we worked with his guidelines and he made most of the key decisions, the work produced was a collective team effort with all of our thoughts blended in. For once, I wanted to see a work that purely came from Ace’s passion and genius. I stared at his broad back in front of me as I followed him to the storage room as I pondered if he would understand something as vague as my own feelings if I tried to explain it to him. Probably not. “We’re here,” Ace
That year, I remembered that the company launched a few commercials which were considered to be very innovative based on Ace’s instructions and directions. That was the first year that Ace stepped in as the new CEO of the company. I opened the folder and began flipping through some pages of the document. Not surprisingly, the commercial that attracted a huge buzz to the company at that time was drafted by Ace. The proof was his very rough drawing of the storyboard and some scribbling in his handwriting of the storyline. It was frankly amazing how these rough drawing and a few simple sentences could transform into such an impactful commercial that was viewed by millions of people. While flipping through the document, a loose document of a few pages that were stapled together attracted my attention. Unlike the other documents that were bound to the folder, this one was just slipped in between the pages of the other documents. At first glance, it was just a simple table of names of peo
It felt so unfair how he could suggest something like that so easily. The last time we made the headlines we just attended a business event together. Imagine how big the explosion would be if we really went out in our private time on our date. “I don’t think we should do anything like that. It’ll cause trouble…not just for us but for other people as well…” I replied. Unfortunately, our relationship wasn’t just about us. Our actions impacted many people, especially those that worked in the company and the various investors that held the company’s shares. Even I knew that any negative news impacted the share price negatively as well. “Maybe it’s time that we worry less about that. We could always do business dinners together, a business movie, a business trip to the beach or up a mountain…” Ace suggested with a laugh. “Yeah, right…” I muttered before rolling my eyes at him. The food that was served matched my tastes very well. I didn’t think that Ace was a big fan of Asian food, bu
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how drunk Ace was as I tried my best to support him to the private elevator that would lead us up to his floor. The guard at the lobby tried to offer me his help but I politely declined. Ace’s arm around my shoulder was heavy but I knew that he could still walk because if he had placed his entire weight on me, I would have crumpled to the ground right on the spot. “We’re here…” I told him when the elevator opened on his floor. “Rina…” he murmured my name before he turned to kiss my hair. I wasn’t a big fan of drunk men even if that man happened to be Ace. I managed to lead Ace to the sofa before semi-dumping him down onto its seat. “I hate men when they’re drunk…” I muttered moodily to myself.“…Really?” Ace murmured questioningly. “You’re so drunk…” I muttered darkly. Suddenly Ace stood up from the sofa and stretched his arms above his head. I watched as he walked with ease towards the bathroom.“Ace?” I called after him in confusion.“If you hate drunk
Ace lowered his head further and soon I felt the wetness and heat of his mouth engulf my nipple. My hands immediately cradled the back of his head as I ran my fingers through his dark hair. His hair was wet from the water spraying on us from above. His mouth on my nipple felt so hot and so much more pleasurable than his fingers from earlier. Ace’s tongue immediately went to work to pleasure me even further. He licked my nipple in circular motions before flicking his tongue against it. The texture of his tongue rubbing against my sensitive nipple made me cry out his name. I thrusted my chest closer towards his face as I begged him with my body to suck on my nipple. That was exactly what he did. “Ahh! Oh…Ace…” I moaned as I closed my eyes in bliss. All I could focus on was the pleasure that he was making me feel. My mind felt completely blank, and my body felt like it was floating in heaven already and all he had done was play with my breasts. His hands stroked its way down my back t
“I’m…cumming…Ace…” I murmured before I lost myself completely to the effects of my orgasm. I wasn’t sure what happened after because my mind was so blurry, and my legs felt like jelly. I didn’t end up collapsing on the floor so Ace must have helped to support me. He rammed his cock faster and even harder into me until his cock exploded his seed everywhere into my love tunnel. The heat of his release flooded me until I felt like it would overflow. It was a very fruitful and satisfying shower; however, I wasn’t sure how cleaned up I ended up. …The sound of my alarm woke me up the following morning. Life was harsh and our leave day came to an end too fast. It was time for Ace and me to go back to work. I woke up feeling lazy and was surprised that Ace was no longer on the bed next to me when I woke up. Did he wake up before me? I walked out of the bedroom to find Ace in the living room already dressed in his suit. He was on the phone with someone, and he sounded quite serious. It wa
