"I don't have an umbrella," I said.
She leaned her head against the seat, then ran her fingers down the side of the fogged up window, leaving a provocative handprint as she moaned and laughed.
"If only…" I said and adjusted myself as she looked on and licked her lips. I popped my eyebrow up at her and she shot me a cute little side smile. The tigress was back. She had returned. Holy shit! I closed my eyes and opened them hoping to scare my hardness away, but it didn't help.
"Ready?" I asked, knowing if we didn't get out of this car, I would end up taking her right there and she deserved a more intimate moment. Sometimes playing hard to get was fun.
When I stepped outside, she opened her door and I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the rain. Our clothes soaked up cool water and her hair stuck to her forehead. We couldn't stop laughing as I pulled her into my arms, our wet bodies pressing against each other. She looked up at the sky, allowing the rain to fall all around her, and I looked up too. The drops stung as they fell against my skin but it didn't matter. My hands landed on her waist and she wrapped her arms around me and we danced as the rain fell around us. The song in our hearts slowly burned, rising and falling like a flame that would transform into an inextinguishable fire. I walked backwards, leading her to my bus. I had to have her, all of her, every inch. It was more than want. It had quickly transformed into need. When we got to the door, she turned and pressed her back against the cool metal. I searched her face while her eyes memorized me. I wished I were a mind reader, but I had a feeling our hearts were on the same page.
She closed her eyes and leaned into my kiss and I took her in, all of her. Her lips were sweet and soft and greedy. The bus door opened and Nik stepped down with a smile and peaked outside without getting wet. We broke our embrace and Elizabeth stepped in. I watched him walk across the parking lot in the rain before I closed the door. Either he was giving me privacy or he had his own little thing going.
I grabbed her hand and led her back to my room. I shut the door and turned to her shivering body. A chill swept through me as well.
Elizabeth came to me, loosened my tie, then unbuttoned each one of the buttons on my shirt. Cool hands swept underneath the material and she pushed it over my shoulders. The wet shirt slapped against the floor and I smiled. Slow and calculated, she ran her fingertips down my stomach and played with the waistband of my pants before undoing the belt and dropping it along with my pants to the floor.
I couldn't deny how much she turned me on and my dick gave it away. I wanted her and she knew it. Even though I wanted to bend her over and take her hard, I'd give her the control. I'd let her take her time because a moment as monumental as this shouldn't be rushed.
31
Elizabeth
My dress was drenched, but I didn't care. I could have danced the night away in the rain with his hard body pressed against mine. The way Ace had looked into my eyes while my body pressed against the coolness of his bus, was intense. When our lips crashed against one another, giant waves of emotion rose and then fell inside me. Water dripped down my skin and down his face, and I couldn't help but smile. Is that what it felt like to fall in love?
I wrapped my arms around his waist, against his bare skin and we stood there shivering, knowing exactly where the night would end. But I didn't want Ace to be in control tonight. I wanted to rock his world. The bulge in his boxers made me feel pretty confident about what would happen.
I led him to the bed and he sat. His eyes softened as he studied every curve of my body. Being watched made me feel sexy as I slipped the dress from my shoulders until it plopped to the floor. He bit his bottom lip as I stepped out of it and unclipped my bra. He swallowed hard.
Not taking my eyes from his, I shimmied out of my panties and removed each shoe as I took a few more steps forward. I looked down into his eyes as he rested his hands on my hips. A fire for him burned inside me. I pushed his shoulders back and slid his boxers down his legs. The look on his face and the way his eyes seemed to darken only encouraged me to keep going. I couldn’t turn back now, and I didn’t want to. A man like Ace Hathway wasn’t easily controlled by a woman, but I had him cast under my spell. I crawled across the bed until my face hovered over his. He moaned as I bit his bottom lip. I trailed kisses down his stomach and across his tattoos until my lips landed on his hardness. With my tongue, I licked and teased every inch of him. Deep moans escaped him and I realized how much control I had in that moment. I grabbed him in my hand but kept the tip of him in my mouth. Pre-come sat on the top and I licked it away.
I moved slow, then fast, then slow again, not giving in to what his body begged for. His chest rose and fell with ragged breaths and I knew it wouldn't be done until he gave me everything he was. Seeing him so vulnerable was doing indescribable things to me. Ace grabbed my arm and pulled me toward him. I crossed my leg over his chest and straddled him, not allowing him entrance, not yet. Kisses, so many kisses were exchanged, soft ones and hard ones, some combined with tongue. I'm not sure how much more of the teasing I could take.
I rolled from his body and he stopped and stood. Immediately I felt the absence of his skin. Muscles cascaded down his lean body, and I swallowed, admiring every inch of him. He winked at me as he pulled a condom from his drawer and opened it. I was mesmerized as he rolled it down his length.
I smiled at him and we picked up right where we left off.
He hovered above me, staring into my eyes, and I relaxed as I took him in—all of him. Slowly he allowed his length to fill me. The way I felt when his end met mine left me speechless. My body wanted more of him, even though I could take no more. I pushed again him, moved my hips, grinding harder, letting him rock me from the inside out. Ace's hand messaged my breast while the other thumbed my clit. With each motion, I caved around him more. Our bodies were in sync—humming in perfect pitch. I was losing myself, becoming more bestial with each movement. At any moment, I'd lose complete control and I welcomed the sensation. Stomach muscles tightened and the impending storm hovered above—and he stopped. I whimpered, knowing I was so close to destruction and he dipped down and kissed me.
"Don't rush it," he said, rolling his hips, slow and hard, changing paces.
"Give. It. To. Me," I said between pants of pleasure. As my mouth dropped open, I whipped my head back and scratched my nails down his chest as the earthquake inside of me destroyed all of who I was.
"Holy shit," he said, as I crumbled around him.
His moans made me want him all over again, but for the moment, my body was completely satisfied.
"I want to ride you," I said. His bottom lip was now in his mouth and I leaned up and kissed him. Ace rolled over on his back and I straddled him, allowing the tip of him to play in my wetness.
"It's your turn to be teased," I said, taking him slow and steady, rocking hard at the bottom. His girth filled me and I knew tomorrow I'd still feel him. His fingers pressed into my hips as I picked up my pace, faster and harder. I wanted him to feel the orgasm grow with the same intensity as mine. One hand found my nipple and the other found my clit. Sensations swirled through me and I knew if he kept up his game, I would come again, and I believe that was his master plan.
Circles played against my clit as our lovemaking turned into pure fucking. Sweat beaded down my body and my moans and pants grew louder.
"Oh. My. Fuck," I said as the second orgasm violently shook within me. I was gasping for air as my body rode out the wave of pleasure, but Ace didn't stop. I moved from him and he was back on top of me, pumping me in long strokes.
"Baby," he whispered. The look on his face was giving him away.
"Give yourself to me," I said lowly.
"Elizabeth," he whispered, as his entire body tightened then relaxed. I felt him throbbing inside of me and I couldn't take my eyes from his face as he rested on top of me. We were breathing hard and my heart was practically beating from my chest. He moved from me, removed the condom, and laid next to me.
"
Fuck! You’re so sexy." He let out a deep breath and placed his hands behind his head. I crawled toward him with a little shake in my ass and curled my body into his. We both stared off at the ceiling, allowing our hearts to slow in beat. Ace's fingertips brushed along the side of my arm, causing little bumps to form across my skin. He looked over at me with hooded eyes,
"You're mine, Elizabeth," he whispered.
"And you're mine, Hathway."
His fingers laced through my hair and his lips were playful against the softness of my neck as he pulled me close.
"Stay with me," he said.
I pushed myself up on one elbow and kissed him. "I didn't plan on leaving. Not tonight." And that was the truth. Even if I wanted to, which I didn't, I couldn't muster the strength to leave. My body would have protested if I’d tried to move, and my heart would have revolted.
His arm snaked around me and pulled me close. I laid my head on his chest and could hear the steady beat of his heart. Inside I was full of butterflies and giddiness. A big smile crept across my face and I closed my eyes.

Sex that good should be illegal. I stretched out in bed, reaching for him. I opened my eyes and saw the bed was empty. I sat up and noticed him leaning against the door with two cups of coffee in hand and baggy jogging pants sat low on his hips.
"Sex coma?"
I lifted an eyebrow at him as he handed me a cup of coffee.
"Something like that," I grumbled into my cup. Ace leaned over and kissed my forehead—a simple yet romantic gesture. He sat next to me and I smiled over the rim of the ceramic cup.
"What?" he asked.
"You."
I watched his tongue sweep across his bottom lip and for a second I was jealous of it.
"You made me sleep like the dead." I took another sip.
"You're just as guilty."
He took my cup from my hand and sat his down on the small dresser beside the bed. Before I could even ask what he was doing, his lips were on mine, and his hands were touching me in all of the right places. Ace ripped the fluffy comforter from my body and kissed down my chest, flicked my nipples with his tongue, making sure to take his time and allow the sensation to rush through my body. I ran my fingers through his messy hair as he kissed down my stomach. Instinctively my thighs opened, giving him all the permission he needed. I couldn't deny my want for him again and again and again.
Ace slipped his jogging pants from his body and rubbed his tip on the most sensitive of places. I gasped and grabbed the sheets with balled fists. He played with me, teasing me, not giving me what I wanted—him. Begging, however, wasn't below me, especially if he kept up this charade.
He steadied himself above me and smirked.
I ran my fingernails down his back and he sighed with satisfaction.
Knowing exactly where he was, he dipped the head of his dick in me and slowly pulled it out, over and over, until my body screamed for all of him.
"Ace," I practically begged.
"Mmmhmm?"
"Fuck. Me," I demanded.
He let out a chuckle and slowly eased his hardness in me. When he filled me, I gasped, knowing I couldn't take anymore. He rolled his hips, not rushing, and I enjoyed every second trying to memorize exactly how he felt. I dug my hips into him, wanting him to meet my end as my body unraveled around him.
"Harder," I whispered between moans.
He didn't hold back.
He gave me every piece of him and I wanted it.
My orgasm was building, pushing and pulling, taking control of every part of my body. It started slow, rolling in like a storm at sea, and then it exploded like fireworks. I felt like I was swimming through clouds as euphoria spread across my body causing me to lose control. No one else in the world mattered except for us and what we were sharing. His hand swept across my face as he bent down and kissed me. Though I was lost, swimming in a sea of satisfaction, Ace continued to give me what I wanted. He kissed my neck and whispered against my skin that he was close. With a quick motion, he pulled out and unloaded himself on my stomach. Knowing I could please him made me elated. This man could have any woman in the world and he chose me. He chose me. I allowed it to sink in, trying to truly understand what it meant.
After helping clean up his beautiful mess, he lay on his side and laced his fingers through my hair.
"What are your plans today?"
I searched his green eyes, studying the specs of gold and brown surrounding his irises.
"I need to go shopping for a dress for the party."
"I've got meetings today downtown. Can I get you a ride?"
I smiled. "Yeah, sure."
I moved close to him. Our mouths were only a few inches apart and his warm breath brushed against my skin. He pulled me close, as if it were possible, and I tucked my head under his chin. Minutes passed and my body relaxed and eyes became heavy.
When I woke again, he wasn't waiting for me. A note rested on his pillow. I rolled over on my stomach and read it.
He was too good to me. I stood and stretched, feeling the soreness from him everywhere. I slipped on a shirt and pants, then made my way to the bathroom. Unlimited hot water would be my best friend. I took off my clothes and stepped inside the shower. Fog quickly filled the bathroom. The water trickled across my skin and streamed down my body, and I stood there, soaking up the steam. Once my skin turned pink, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body and dried my hair.
The smile on my face wouldn't leave, and I knew it was because of one person—Ace. Each time I closed my eyes, I could see flashes of his mouth memorizing my body. My heart rate increased and a hum of electricity shot through me. This man had the power to eventually destroy me.
After I dressed, I walked into the bedroom and texted the number he’d left for me. I received a reply with an estimated arrival time. Fancy. In the meantime, I made the bed and placed my panties under his pillow, as a little reminder of me, though if he were like me, he wouldn't be forgetting anytime soon. Who had I become? I felt so confident and sexy, and Ace Hathway was to blame. He made me feel like a queen and when we were together, as close as two people could be, it gave me an overwhelming sense of confidence. I hoped the next time I looked into a mirror, I’d recognize the woman I saw.
The driver texted me when he arrived.
I heard deep muffled voices and knew Ace had left but that meant...the brothers.
My heart began to race and I knew I couldn't stay cooped up in his room, especially with a driver waiting outside. At first I paced a few times and then I channeled the confident woman Ace had unleashed in me. The brothers' laughter filled the living room area, which caused my heart to race, but I sucked in a deep breath and walked out anyway.
"Holy motherfucking shit balls," Jex said, with wide eyes.
I placed my hands on my hips and found my courage. "Never seen a woman before?"
"Sorry about the language. You scared the shit out of me," Jex said.
Rex burst out into a deep hefty laughter and my face broke out into a smile.
Nik stood and placed his hand on my shoulder. "So Elizabeth, you know you have to tell us if you two are dating."
His charm, though it was full on, wasn't going to work on me.
"Don't you know a lady never kisses and tells?" I lifted an eyebrow at him and gave him a little side smile.
"Did Ace capture you and hold you hostage in there all night long?" Rex laughed.
I shook my head and playfully rolled my eyes. "Maybe I kept him hostage. Ever think about that?"
The Ooh's and Ahh's and buurrrrrrnnn's filled the room.
"I knew he looked a little too happy this morning," Nik said, giving me a wink.
"I like you, Elizabeth," Jex said. "You'll be good for my brother; he needs someone to set him straight."
I could feel my cheeks go pink and before anyone could notice, there was a knock on the door. Jenny stepped on, talking on her phone.
"One sec," she said to whoever sh
e was speaking to and covered the phone.
"I knock because you never know when Nik is going to be walking around with his dick hanging out. But, speaking of dicks, everyone is here."
They rolled their eyes and started picking on her.
"Can you imagine growing up with these assholes? Seriously! People wonder why I am the way I am," she laughed and put the phone back to her ear.
"Sorry, Mom. I know. Yes. Okay. I'll tell them what you said. Promise. Bye. Love you," she said then shoved her phone in her pocket.
"Mom said if you give me a hard time again, she's going to kick your asses at the barbecue you all promised to attend after the tour."
They all got quiet, and then I burst out laughing because they had all gotten way too serious. Maybe their Mom was scary.
"I came to tell you there's a limo waiting outside. The dude is looking a little impatient and I wanted to make sure we weren't on Hathway time today," Jenny said.
"Oh, shit! That's my ride." I walked past her.
"Hathway time?" I turned and looked at her before walking off the bus.
"These jerks are always thirty minutes late to everything."
"No, we aren't," Nik said. "Only those assholes are." He pointed at Rex and Jex.
"Don't listen to them, Elizabeth. Seriously, they're jealous because we got all the good looks and charm and didn't leave any for them," Rex said.
"Then why aren't you at the meeting that started thirty minutes ago? Looks like the only person there is Ace."
"Oh, shit!" Rex said looking at his phone. "We've got to go."
"You all are ridiculous," Nik said.
Jex stood and rolled his eyes at his brother and gave me a smile.
Jenny leaned over and whispered with a laugh. "Leave while you can—while they're occupied."
I stepped off the bus laughing and the driver greeted me with a smile, head nod, and a ‘Miss.’ A taxi would have been perfectly fine, but I wouldn't refuse riding in style. In the middle of the limo a bottle of champagne and a glass awaited me. I popped it open and poured a glass of bubbly as I watched the people in the streets stare as the limo drove past. The car came to a rolling stop and the driver opened my door in front of a gorgeous high-rise that looked over the city. Tinted glass windows cast reflections of the city that surrounded me.
