Right after the union formalities ended, a ceremony followed. It was then that Minsi was introduced to almost everyone in the hall. There were a lot of people. Ace told her the attendees were only half of the people of the Mistwood pack and that she should prepare to meet with more people in the near future. For what’s worth, Minsi wasn’t nervous or scared anymore. It’s like something has switched for good inside her the moment she got united with Ace. She could feel a strong confidence swirling deep inside her. It’s like magic how things have suddenly switched for her. And she loved every second of it. This was her home, her people, and her family. And she would do whatever it takes to keep it that way till the day she dies.
“Now, I understand why he is so whipped. Look at how glued he is to her. Minsi, you are one beautiful woman.” Wade spoke, sipping his wine, while holding Stephanie's hair with his free hand, so that it wouldn’t interfere with her. “Thank you,” Minsi said, her cheeks heating up when her gaze locked with her man. He wasn’t even concerned about what the people were saying. He was rather enjoying it. The six of them were now sitting on a big table, having dinner like the rest of the guests in the hall. “Tell me about it. He dismissed the ambassadors just a second ago. And he hasn’t even gotten laid yet. Just imagine how he will be starting tomorrow.” Finn joined, feeding his wife. They all laughed.
“You two need to find better work to do. Do you see yourselves? You are literally wrapped around your wife's little fingers. Do not talk shit about me being whipped.” Ace had his hand stretched at the back of Minsi’s chair possessively. Minsi acted like she couldn’t hear them as she quietly blushed and ate her food. Apparently, these people have made her the hot topic on the dining table. Shamelessly talking about sex. The weirdest part was that she didn’t even feel bad about it. In fact, she was happy to join this family. “Oh, now you are talking?” Wade raised a brow at him as if he was challenging him. “Welcome to the club, bro. I'll give it a day.” Finn said with a grin, handing his wife a glass of water. Minsi was astounded by how those two men were treating their wives. She could sense so much respect and love without them having to voice it. Their actions spoke for them.
“You all leave Minsi alone. Look at how uncomfortable you are making her with your stupid talks.” Stephanie playfully slapped her husband on the chest to make a point. “Wait until I’m full, Minsi. I’m going to tell you all their dirty secrets so that you can join their conversations next time. Give me a moment.” Rachel uttered with determination, taking a bite of steak from her husband's waiting hand. Stephanie chuckled along with Ace. Both of them were fully supporting Rachel. “Baby, please. Not that again.” Finn frowned at his wife. “No. You two need to get humbled from time to time. You have big mouths.” She deadpanned. “Thank you, sis,” Ace uttered proudly. Rachel shook her head, “Don’t thank me yet. I’m telling on you, too.” Ace’s smile was replaced with a defeated sigh, which made all of them laugh, including Minsi. “Sometimes I wonder if we're truly blood related,” Ace said with a scowl, filling Minsi’s glass with more wine. “Too late for a DNA test, don’t you think?” Rachel winked at him with a sly grin.
The car pulled over before his mansion and hummed to a stop. He didn’t move, and neither did she. The silence in the confinement of the car was too loud. And when Minsi turned to him, he was already watching her, deeply. His golden eyes shone with a little bit of darkness glossing over them. Her heartbeats were roaring in her ears. The rise and fall of her chest made her slowly become breathless. The strong need that she couldn’t put into words was eating her up, making her press her thighs together. Her hand hesitantly reached for his arm and lingered on it. The man didn’t say a word and just watched her moves like a hawk. Feeling bolder, her hand travelled up and wrapped around his nape. Her fingers naturally dive into his hair. Ace let out a grunt, his eyes drooping. “Do that again, baby.” He murmured, his voice hoarse and needy.
Minsi ran her fingers gently into his scalp, and the reward was the satisfied noises that left her man’s tempting lips. Ace leaned closer, his hands that were resting on the console between them, now went around her back and waist. And then with a swift movement, she was strangling him in his seat. A gasp escaped her lips, her hands naturally resting on his shoulders while he held her firmly, pressing on her sides and waist. “You are so beautiful, Minsi. I want to have you all for myself.” He whispered in her ear, nibbling her earlobe. His voice made her shudder, and her breathing became even heavier.
His lips traced kisses on her neck and sucked on her skin, making her moan, “Ace.” He grunted in response, loving the sound of her moans. “Yes, baby.” Her dress was hoisted up, exposing her thick thighs. He groped them and pressed them. “Kiss me,” Minsi’s words came out breathlessly. His actions stopped, and he returned to face her. His eyes are a shade darker than before. Ace left her to initiate things because he wanted to be sure she wanted it. And now he got his answer. He held her chin using his index finger and thumb, rubbing her lips fondly. His touch was rough, making it even more sensual for her.
“With honor,” His words hovered near her lips before he captured them. Minsi could feel goosebumps all over her skin, followed by a sensational tingle that spread all over her, numbing her senses. The kiss wasn’t gentle. It was deep, desperate, and full of hunger. Sucking lips, teeth clanking, and warm tongues clashing. Moans and grunts are echoing. Heat rising. Hands roaming and searching. It was nothing like she ever felt before. She pulled back, heaving for air before moving to kiss him again. It was an addicting, sweet, and aching need. “Take me to our bedroom, Ace.” She murmured on his lips, not able to resist anymore. “Fuck!” He rasped.
~18~“Come on now. Don’t be upset, sweetheart.” He coaxed her by pulling her closer to himself, even when she was resisting him. “Leave me alone,” she pouted, as if she wasn’t enjoying being spooned by him. “I’ll make it up to you.” He announced. This piqued her attention, so she flipped around to face him again, “How?” Ace held the back of his head, holding eye contact with her, “Like this,” he then leaned closer and captured her lips. Slow strokes of their lips filled the room, sucking upper and lower in turn. It made her mind stop, and her stomach filled with butterflies. Forgetting why she was upset with him in the first place. She couldn’t even remember her own name if you asked her at that moment. Her body moved, and she sat on top of him, straddling him in the middle, lips still locked. He brushed her hair off her face while she lowered herself down and deepened their kiss, sucking his tongue as if it was the sweetest thing she’d ever tasted. Her hands were tracing his chest w
~17~Minsi’s eyes slowly cracked open, adjusting to the morning light—a ghost of a smile formed on her lips. The room was exactly how she imagined a room for a man like him would be. Dark grey walls, white ceilings and curtains, with only a subtle amount of modern furniture and decor. There was a glass door that she was sure led to his closet. Another door to the bathroom, and another, which was a double door, revealed a balcony. Clean, classic, and masculine, or in simple language…Ace. When she felt a heavy hand surrounding her waist, her smile stretched further on her lips. And then the heat started to rise on her cheeks. She was a little bit sore from their continuous activities. Last night was the best night of her life. She couldn’t believe that this was her fate now. But then she was also claiming it. Because without any doubt, this was her life now. The two of them had the wildest night. The man had such high stamina, and she was sex deprived for a while. So both of them quenc
~16~“I won’t. But I need you to understand something, sweetheart. I don’t do it sweetly. I’m–uh–a little bit rough.” He rubbed the back of his head, his ear turning red. Minsi raised her brow with a grin on her lips, “Just a little, you said?” He shook his head, “Actually, very rough.” She laughed, burying her face in his chest at his blunt confession. “So?” He asked, rubbing her collarbone. She looked up at him, mischief glinting in her eyes, “Take me, Ace. Roughly.” A shudder rumbled on his chest, “Fuck. You looked so sexy saying that.” He said, pushing himself away from her, and started to shed his clothes slowly and drop them on the floor. Meanwhile, she leaned back on the wall, waiting, ogling, biting her lip, eyes never leaving him. She was getting impatient by the second, but she was glad he wasn’t rushing it. The sight before her was worth it. Broad shoulders with a toned chest, defined abs that made her fingers itch to trace them. His slim waist and Oh. A silent gasp left h
~15~Ace gathered her up in the same position, opened the car door, and kicked it shut once he was standing outside. He strode inside while her lips were busy on his neck. Sucking, biting, kissing. His entire body was on fire. A fire that needed to be put out. And she was the only one with the power to. He took three stairs at a time, pressing her ass all the way. Instead of taking her to her room, he kicked the door of his room. Minsi was placed on her feet. She didn’t even get the chance to admire the room when her body was pressed against the wall. Leaving her back to him. Ace lifted her hands and pinned them above her head. She let out a shudder when his hands traced the curves of her body. “You have no idea how bewitching this body is, baby.” He grabbed her ass and squeezed it, “How amazing and right it feels in my hands.” Minsi let out a moan. “Then show me how.” She couldn’t wait anymore. She wanted him. All of him. Buried deep inside her. His skin pressed with hers. Ace presse

~13~“Hi,” Minsi uttered upon feeling her intense gaze on her. Rachel’s face lit up instantly, “I love her!” She declared when they had only met a second ago, and she didn’t even know her name. “Hi, I’m Rachel. Ace’s one and only little sister. I’m happy you’re finally here.” She rumbled, causing both her husband and brother to laugh. Rachel was oddly excited today, given that she was pregnant, which had been making her moody for two months now. “I-I’m Minsi, nice to meet you,” Minsi replied and stretched her hand to her. Rachel looked at her as if she had lost her mind, “Nonsense. Come here.” She slapped her hand away and pulled her in for a warm hug.“This is Finn, my handsome husband.” Rachel introduced herself after pulling away from the hug. “And, I’m Stephanie. And this is my husband, Wade. God, she is really here, baby!” The woman wiped her tears. Minsi recognized the following woman. She is a doctor who treated her a day ago. At the end of the day, Minsi was introduced to the
