تسجيل الدخول{Faith}A ball of saliva hits my throat and stops right there. I feel my core tremble. “What did you say?”“You heard me, Princess.” He smiles devilishly. “Sit.”He, very slowly, downturns his index finger to his lap again.I stare at his crotch. The slight bulge in his pants reminds me of the sex dream I had about him.Am I going to live that dream now?The mere thought fills me with both excitement and fear. …how am I going to take it all? I mean, his huge dick?I swallow hard. “I-I am perfectly fine where I am at.”“I don't care. Don't make me repeat myself, Princess.”He leans away from the cushioned rest behind him. He raises a brow at me.For some reason, I walk over to him slowly, clutching the sides of my dress.He takes my hand as soon as I come close enough. Gently, he pulls me down. “Good girl.”My ass presses against his crotch. As he leans in, his breath sprays behind my ear. “Now, where were we?”I clutch my dress tighter. Staring at the spread of books still on the ta
{Faith}“Jonny boy! It is really you!” The police officer opens his arms wide as he walks over. He slaps Ace’s arms lightly. “You have grown so big!”He pulls back and looks Ace from head to toe. “The last time I saw you around this town, you were this small, Jonathan!”Jonathan? “Your name is Jonathan?” I look up at Ace, confused.When the cop first said it, I thought I had heard him wrong. Is that why I thought naming my baby Jon would be perfect? Is my subconscious trying to tell me something?I look at Matthew. But he looks away like a thief who had just been caught in the act. As if he can remember how much of a fit he threw when I suggested that name.Ace leans in and whispers in my ear. “I will tell you all about it later.”Great. Maybe he will tell me about Kourtney too.Gosh, I hate myself for feeling jealous. I don't even remember this man, yet the idea of him having another woman in his life makes my heart ache.“Why didn't you tell me you were back in town, Jonny? We loo
{Faith}My heart jumps to my throat. From the corner of my eye, I see Jerry slip a gun out of his jacket. As Ace pulls me to his side, I wrap my arms around his waist. “What’s happening?”“I repeat, it’s the police! Put down all your weapons. Do not harm the hostage!”“Hostage?”As soon as I gasp, Ace looks down at me. He touches my lips slightly. “Shh, Princess. I have got this.”His finger sends warmth to my beating heart. I nod.He looks at Jerry. “Put the gun away. Bullets do NOT have to fly. There are five important people in this room.”Five? But we are…oh!I touch my belly, looking up at him again. His jaw clenches as he looks at the door of the kitchen.“We are coming out now! And we are unarmed.”As soon as he says that, Jerry throws the gun into the utensil cabinet. Jerry sidles up to Allison, slipping a hand behind her back.At this moment, I notice that she's barely standing. Her face is white, and her sad expression has been replaced by fear.“Why are they here?” she mu
{Faith}The woman’s tight hug pins my arms to my side. She jumps a little, slapping my back lightly. “I knew it! I knew he was keeping you all to himself!”She pulls away and shoots a glare at Ace. “You promised to keep me updated. How dare you!”Ace lets go of the door and walks back in, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Almost immediately, a handsome redhead walks in slowly, as if counting his steps.He looks at me as I remain “strangled” in this woman’s arms. “Shit!” he curses, clenching a fist.Ace shakes his head at him. Then he snaps his fingers and opens his palm.The redhead frowns, dipping his hand into his breast pocket. “I did my best.”“Well…” Ace says, snatching a black bank card from him. “Your best wasn't enough!”What are they doing?I wonder even though she's practically snuffing the air out of me. I swear my back cracks a bit just before she lets go and peers into my face with teary eyes.“Oh, you have lost so much weight.” The woman pinches my cheeks. “Look at your p
{Faith}Heat. Desire. Pleasure.I feel all that the second his lips claim mine. Taken aback, I melt into his chest.Ace wraps his hand around my waist, deepening the kiss all the while trying to stop me from crumbling to the floor.There's a subtle tanginess to his saliva. Almost like he had dipped his tongue in fruity alcohol and taken it out right out.Alcohol is bad for me. He's bad for me.I really should push him away. But I find myself gripping his shirt and pulling him even closer instead.We tilt our heads occasionally, devouring each other’s lips in sync. My fingers slide into his silky hair. I grip a chunk as his strong arms hold onto my body tighter.Say you love me!“What!” I gasp for breath, breaking away.Ace’s chest heaves up and down just like mine. His eyes linger on my burning lips—hungry eyes.Say you love me, Princess.I hear his voice loudly. But I don't see his mouth move at all.I point, my finger shaking. “How are you doing that?”He raises a brow innocently. “
{Faith}Ace turns to me. “Stay here. I will be right back.”He heads to the door.“No!” I rush after him. “Don’t, please!”He stops at the threshold. Looking back at me, he frowns a little. “He dared to hurt you. He doesn't deserve to live. Why don't you just allow me to get rid of him?”“Because I don't want him dead. He might be abusive, but he's still the father of my unborn child.”“I am the father of your child, not that bastard!”I clutch my belly. “W-what?”“The baby you are carrying is mine. I can bet my life on it!”His firm voice rings in my ears as I blink rapidly. The more it repeats, the more ridiculous it sounds.“I get that you want me to believe we were an item, but claiming a child that isn't yours isn’t the way to go.”His body turns fully. “I couldn't say anything before he dragged you out this morning, but I am sure, Princess. You said you are like two months gone. From my calculations, you became pregnant while you were still with me. While you still knew that you
