My brain was too consumed with my troubled thoughts that I didn’t even pay attention to where I was going. When I realized it, my feet had somehow taken me to the park next to the office building. It has been years since I’ve been to this park. In fact, now that I think about it, I probably never came back to this part intentionally after that day that I met Ace. I looked down at the same bench that I had been sitting on that fateful day that we first met. While feeling slightly confused as to how I ended up here, I sat down on the bench. It seemed liked I’ve made so much progress in life since the last time that I sat down here with blisters on my feet from wearing shoes of the wrong size. Back then, I didn’t have anything except for the love and support from my mother. I was hungry for life and desperate to get a job. From then till now, I got a job, I got a boyfriend, and I got to work on many projects that felt like a dream come true for me. My financial situation improved a litt
“When I figured out that Elizabeth, Kyle’s wife, is in fact Elizabeth Chase of Chase Creatives, I realized that the leak must have been from me. You see…while you were away on your recent business trip, Kyle came to see me at my apartment. I didn’t want him to be there but when I got home, he was already there right in front of my door waiting for me…” I confessed truthfully. “And?” Ace prompted for me to go on. “And…he told me that he was just there to pick up his stuff. I didn’t think much of it at the time. Honesty, I was just too worried about being in the same room as him, so I just let him go in to grab the things that I’ve packed for him. He wasn’t in there for that long, but I guess during that time…he probably stole the idea that I had for the storyboard…” I continued with my speculation. “I see…” I muttered sternly. “It is my fault. I’m not here to make any excuses for myself. It’s my fault for leaving papers with confidential information laying around like that. I shoul
“Well, now that that is out of the way, want to go out for dinner with me tonight?” Ace asked in such a cheerful voice that my eyes snapped up from the tightly clenched hands on my lap to his face. His sudden invitation caught me by surprise. It seemed like the formal part of this chat was over and now Ace had reverted into the version that he was usually like when we were alone. “Umm…” I murmured hesitantly. I had no idea how to react to that. “This is for you…” Ace said as he passed me a couple of tissue after pulling it out from the box on his desk.“Thank you…” I thanked him while taking the tissues from his hand. Realizing that my face was probably still a mess, I quickly dabbed at the tears in my eyes and the tear stains on my cheeks. Ace watched me with a look of pure sympathy and a strong feeling of guilt flooded my chest again. Now that I was at it, I decided to blow my nose as well. The loud sound that my nose made brought out a chuckle from Ace. I glanced over at his
The waiter placed a large plate of steak in front of me and I knew instinctively that Ace had over ordered for me. There was no way that I could eat this much meat all in one meal. “Thank you…” I thanked the waiter politely and he offered me a friendly smile in return. We discontinued our conversation until we were left alone again. I didn’t intend to look down, but I guess my efforts to look perky didn’t lead to a successful result. “What are you worried about?” Ace asked.Everything. That was my honest answer. Everything from my own guilt to worrying about losing my job to not being able to send money home to my mother. I was worried about everything and from so many different angles. However, it wasn’t like I could tell Ace all of that. I knew well enough that Ace was doing his best to help me. I mean, he could have fired on the spot after I outright confessed that I was the source of the leak, intentionally or not. “Many things, but it is what it is. We all have to learn to li
“Let’s go…” Ace muttered impatiently as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him.It felt strange for Ace to be the one leading me to my own room, but it felt strangely pleasant as well. His hand around mine felt warm and it reminded me of how much I didn’t want to be alone right now. “I didn’t think that we would get this wet. You should take a warm bath and go to sleep. Don’t over think things, ok?” Ace instructed as he smiled at me. Ace waited until I unlocked the door and opened it before he waved goodbye to me. I was a grown and independent woman, I told myself silently in my head as I watch Ace turn and walk away. “Ace!” I called out to him quite loudly before I could stop myself. It was when I felt something warm and wet against my cheek did, I realize that I had wrapped my arms around him and had pressed the side of my face against his back. What did I…just do?“Rina…” Ace whispered my name as he turned his head to look at me.Suddenly, I felt too embarrassed at my
With each blissful caress, he slowly made me forget all my pain and suffering. As my desire and need for him flooded my brain and chased out other thoughts, I felt so alive and so free. I wanted him to make me his and I wanted to make him mine. “Tell me what you want me to do to you, Rina…” Ace coaxed seductively close to my ear. “I want to touch you…please…take off your shirt…” I pleaded in a small voice.Despite my shyness, my hands reached out boldly towards his chest and began unbuttoning the buttons of his shirt. Ace chuckled a little at me before his hands went to help me strip his upper body. His tie and his shirt quickly fell to the floor, and I had him in my arms again. I was so pleased that he was spoiling me. Ace probably knew that this was the way that I wanted and needed him to comfort me. I couldn’t wait for him to continue comforting me all night long until I forgot everything even if it was just for tonight. I sighed with pure bliss as I ran my hands along his muscu
Ace took out a condom before he removed his clothes completely. It seemed like Ace came very prepared today; however, I was about to surprise him with hopefully some pleasing news. “Ace…I’m on the pills so…you don’t have to use that…” I admitted to him shyly. What am I saying? When did I get so bold about this?Since we almost had to stop halfway before and I had to finish him off in my mouth, I felt a little guilty. Plus, I wanted to feel him…directly…“Really? Thank you, Rina. I really can’t wait to do you raw…” Ace thanked me after a moment of surprise. Me, too. I couldn’t wait to feel his hot and raw cock inside of me. His fingers reached out and held my chin before he placed a soft and sweet kiss onto my lips as if to thank me for the favor that I had just done for him and for us. I whimpered as Ace back me up against the wall. His cock was thick and very erect, and I knew that he was ready take me already. Ace’s large hand lifted my left thigh up and spread it to the side.
“Are you feeling better?” Ace asked as his brown eyes stared at my face with a worried look. Is it morning…already?I didn’t remember much of what happened last night after Ace made wild love to me. After dinner, I invited Ace to spend the night with me and he ended up making love to me as a way to comfort me. A blush crept into my face as I thought of how I had begged him to love me. We also did it raw…It was great. Much better than I imagined possible. Although my body felt heavy and well-used and my mind was sleepy, overall, I felt much better than I did yesterday. My troubles were far from over and I knew that the worst was yet to come; however, the world looked a little more colorful than it did yesterday. I probably had Ace to thank for that. “Yes, thank you…” I thanked him with all my heart.“I’m sorry that I had to take you off Project Alpha for the time being,” Ace said with clear regret. “Oh no, you don’t have to be sorry for anything. If anyone has to be sorry, it shou
