Chapter 71


    Ace drove me back to my ce again that night and he insisted on walking me right to my door. I was


    slightly worried about him demanding that I let him into my room; however, that didn’t happen.


    Surprisingly, Ace offered me a smile and a small peck on my cheek before he was on his way. It might


    have been my own imagination, but it seemed like he was in a hurry to leave. Given that it was already


    The work of a CEO still amazed me. Despite how he acts around me, Ace had a lot of responsibilities


    on his shoulders.


    “Ahhh…” I moaned softly in the warm shower.


    Standing under the warm shower felt rxing and it was just what I needed. Because Ace went to the


    trouble of reminding me of the pleasure that we shared that night at the hotel, I found myself


    remembering the shower that I had the morning after. My body still felt sensitive from his wild


    lovemaking. My pussy throbbed and my insides felt slightly sore. Hopefully, the tenderness would


    subside when I wake up tomorrow morning.


    I let out another moan when I pressed my fingers against my opening, still wet and slimy from the


    juices of my release. My fingers stroked my pussy lips and I thought of Ace touching me there and then


    inserting his thick and longer fingers inside of my hole. My nipples hardened immediately at the


    thought.


    What is wrong with me? We just did it…and I’m already thinking of him…


    Forcing my mind away from Ace and his seductively teasing smile, I quickly cleaned myself and got out


    of the shower. There is so much work that I have to do and so many things that I needed to improve on

    in time for my next presentation to the team. Thankfully, I managed to make a lot of progress before


    being distracted by photos from Kyle’s wedding and then…


    My body shivered from the thought, and it wasn’t from fear. I should go to bed before my own thoughts


    drive me crazy. Sleep didn’te as easy as I had hoped. Even after a long while of having the lights


    off and my eyes closed, I still tossed and turned in bed restlessly. I could see Ace and I could hear his


    voice whispering to me like he was a ghost that had decided to haunt me and my dreams.


    I covered my face with my hands as if that would help me to hide away. Things between Ace and I


    didn’t start normally, and it was moving way too fast. I think I probably made the same mistake with


    Kyle as well when we first started dating. Looking back maybe everything about us was wrong from the


    start right until the end, except for the good sex.


    Perhaps I was just trying to fool myself that we were a loving couple even when we rarely did anything


    together because we were too worried about our rtionship being exposed. For me, I was scared


    because I was afraid of losing my job if anyone from our workce found out. For him, he was


    probably more afraid of his real girlfriend finding out. Looking back, our rtionship was nothing more


    than meeting up for heated sex and going out on secret dates that ended up in very steamy sessions at


    random hotels.


    ‘Fuck buddies’ is what they call something like that, right?


    That’s it. We were probably just fuck buddies. The fact that he already had a girlfriend that he intended


    to marry only made it worst.


    Ace…are we just ‘fuck buddies’ too now?


    That night I fell asleep with very mixed and troubling thoughts in my mind. I ended up getting some


    sleep sometimete into the night purely thanks to exhaustion.


    …


    The rm went off and I was thankful to wake up because my dreams were dark and haunting at best.


    They were the exact representation of my insecurities, and I hated what I saw in my slumber. After


    turning off my rm, I instantly got out of bed and headed for the shower. I stared at the dark circles


    under my eyes before sighing loudly. It was quite obvious what I needed to do so why was I so hesitant


    to do it?


    After getting dressed, I started with my make up while making sure to apply abundant concealer to hide


    the dark circles under my eyes. I didn’t want to look outstandingly beautiful, I just wanted to look


    presentable. After applying some lipstick on my lips, I sighed once again.


    “Rtionships based on sex don’tst. You know that…Karina…” I reminded myself as I stared at my


    own reflection in the mirror.


    The girl that stared back at me looked too stubborn for her own good. I knew that I had to stop giving in


    to Ace’s advances and that nothing good would evere from me sleeping with him. My resolve felt


    firm, and it felt like I had everything figured out for now, but I truly doubt if the same would apply when I


    felt his tempting caresses on my body and the warmth of his seductive kisses on my lips.


    I need to stay away from Ace…but how do I do that?


    “Arghhhh…” I growled from my own frustration.


    Why did the bad have to feel so good?


    My hand covered my lips as if to shield them from Ace’s lips…or my own desires…


    **Ring Ring Ring**


    The doorbell?


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang and that meant that someone was standing right in front of my door. It was


    unusual for anyone to turn up to my ce. I didn’t have that many friends living in the city to start off


    with and I couldn’t think of anyone who would turn up this early in the morning.


    My tummy did a tiny flip and that told me that something was not right. While I was hesitating about


    what to do in front of my mirror, the doorbell rang again.
