~Ace Romano~
Just hearing her say my name is enough to turn me into a putty for her. My heart aches for her and I want to hold her in my arms. Feel her heart beating against mine, just like the way I used to every night when she was still with me.
Clark grabbed Lianna’s arms, shielding her with his body.
People around us stepped aside. Wise choice, for I am one second away from slamming my fist to this police officer’s face.
“Boss,” Angelo stood beside me, “there are children here.”
All the while Clark was shielding Lianna, her eyes never leaving my face - my eyes. The storm raging in her golden chocolate hues slowly turning into a hailstorm. So intense that it could destroy everything in i
~Ace Romano~The need to feel Lianna’s skin against mine is urging me to fuck her mouth like it was the last time I would ever have her.I took my gloves off a long time ago, my left hand savoring the feel of the back of her neck while I angled her face to deepen this kiss between us. She tasted sweet, heaven, pure bliss. Needing to have both of my hands on her body, I had to break my right thumb to free us from the cuffs that were binding us together.Lianna seemed to be thankful as well. As I popped my thumb back in its rightful place, both of her hands snaked on my chest. Fisting the collar of my coat, Lianna pulled me closer to her as humanly possible, while mine circled around her waist. Her body molding perfectly against mine.Our tongues dueled for dominance, I was tasting every nook of her sweet mouth as she tugged on my long hair, earning a satisfied groan from me. The pain on my scalp was very welcomed, sending tingly needles all over my b
~Lianna Black~A knock on my door sounded. It’s obviously Alexa since my twin is the only other living soul inside this house apart from me.“Lian,” Alexa called, “I’m coming in.”Looking at the clock resting on top of my bedside table, it was screaming at me to stand up and start living my life again.After that talk I had with Ace, I am lost and unsure of what I would do with my life. I thought I could escape him, but he found me. It didn’t even take him an entire month, and he found me. Just like that.There was this petty part of me hoping he would actually follow my wishes. I needed him to leave me alone.Everything that happened betw
~Lianna Black~Feeling shame crawl all over my skin, I grabbed my keys and bag from the counter and turned my back on Ace.From now on, I hate forks!As I set foot outside to where my Toyota was parked, my brows creased when I saw the flat tires. I was sure that my car was in excellent condition when I went to sleep last night. Since it was not brand new when I bought it, I had to take it to the mechanic for checking. To add to that, my twin is mad with cars. She checks my car every other day for bugs. ‘For security measures’ was her words.The door on my house shut and my anger flared up when I noticed the slash on the tires. It looks like a knife was used to cause these flat tires, and I have a pretty good idea who the culprit is.
~Lianna Black~Ace’s presence inside the bookstore was a bit overwhelming.Even Nana Clara took notice of Ace and instantly became fond of him. They mostly talked about World War II where Nana Clara shared how her father served in the US army. Surprisingly, Ace was respectful of the old lady and he was keen on listening to her long story. While they had tea and cookies, I got to admire how good looking Ace was.The gray cable knit crew neck, black jeans and boots he was wearing were fairly simple, but he looks like he just came out of GQ magazine. How can he manage to look so gorgeous in such simple clothes is still a wonder to me... He’s such a fine sight, to all the girls that walked into the shop as well.Before I came here, the bookstore was just filled w
~Lianna Black~A high-pitched whistle saved me from drowning into Ace’s sweet mouth. Using the little strength I have left in me, I pressed my palms flat on his chest… damn; he is lean. His muscles flexing in a sweet response to my touch under his crew neck. Oh, boy. How I wish we are naked right now, but the thought of the person who let out that whistle made me do what I did.I pushed Ace away, breaking the kiss - which wasn’t so bad at all if I may add.Ace’s icy gray eyes were so vivid. The light blue flecks in his irises were so dark that it almost turned his eyes to blue gray.“That was the cheesiest line I have ever heard,” the person who whistled made herself known.Ace glared at m
~Lianna Black~Jonah was in the same state I found him in yesterday. An apron wrapped around his waist while he was wiping what seems to be sauce from his hands with a white towel. His scarlet hair tied in a low bun, his arms wide open for me, which I gladly came home to.“Did Alexa hire you to be our new cook?” I mumbled, pulling away from Jonah’s embrace.Shrugging his shoulder, Jonah’s muscle-flexing under his black V-neck tee. “I wouldn’t mind living with two gorgeous girls.” He reached for my forehead as if to remove the frown I have on all day.He didn’t comment on it, but his actions made me giggle. The smell of delicious food hit my senses as we walked inside the house. “Wow, smells delicious.” I uttered
~Lianna Black~I wanted to say yes; I know I will forgive him because I still love him. The only question is when.It seems as if a lifetime has gone by. Both of us gawking at each other.“What’s done is done. Now give me the gun and leave.” I mumbled instead.Ace is a proud man. He never begs nor bow to anyone. It was only fair since he is the most powerful man in the underworld. Even at such a young age, people a lot older than him who lead other crime families bow down on his feet. However, what he did next surprised me.He reached for my hands, holding both of my wrists, and placed them both flat on his chest. “Fiore, just tell me what I need to do for you to give me another chance.” His icy
~Lianna Black~My tummy was aching. The clenching of my chest was so unbearable that every customer inside the café was giving me weird glances.I was laughing so hard. This was the best laugh I’ve had in a long while.“Are you sure you’re alright, Luka?” I wiped the side of my eyes where beads of happy tears had formed. “Damn, that was a good one.”Luka’s friendly face remained calm… blank. “I’m not joking around, Lianna.” He clarified calmly. “I’ve stayed as far away from you as possible, but this is just fucked up. You’re pregnant with Ace’s child. I can give you and the baby a better life than what he can offer.”Can I
