“What?”
“I wanted to find us somewhere to live for the next year. Until we can build a house of our own.”
“Wait.” I laugh. “I need to catch up here.”
"We can't continue living over the bar."
“It doesn’t bother me.”
“It does me. I found a place close to my brother. It will work until we can build.”
“Build?”
“Yeah, build. My brother owns a substantial amount of land. He and I already found the perfect spot. I’ll take you tomorrow to see it. We have even mapped out the road that will connect the houses.”
“That’s what you were up to today?” I reach over, putting my hand on his thigh. This man is always ten steps ahead. I’m not surprised in the least. He shrugs like it’s no big deal. “Was that before you went and bought a teddy bear to smuggle in?" I tease.
“She likes them.” Ace smirks. “She really likes it when she thinks we’re doing something sneaky. We’ll have to keep an eye on her.”
“Yeah, a close one,” I agree.
“Libby—”
“Hmm?”
“What did I say about you not asking or telling me things because you're unsure?” I chew on my bottom lip.
“Fate?”
“Yeah, Fate. Fate is kind of our thing.”
“It is.” I couldn’t agree more.
"That's why we can't live together over a bar. She’ll need her own room.” Tears burn in my eyes at his words.
"We're about to have a child, but we've never performed the act of creating one," I point out. Oh, we have done a lot of things. His mouth is always on me, and he’s taught me how to use mine on him. But we’ve yet to take it all the way.
“Been waiting.” He pulls into the back of the bar.
“For what?” Ace reaches over and unclicks my seat belt. He easily lifts me out of my seat and into his lap.
“I wanted to make this right for you. To make sure you’re ready.”
“I think I’m more than ready, Ace.” I wrap my arms around his neck.
“Then when are you going to tell me that you love me?”
“I do.” I don’t know why I suddenly feel so shy.
“You know that I love you.”
“I do,” I repeat again. Ace shows me that he loves me in everything that he does.
“Are you getting shy on me?” He smirks playfully. “Say it, Libby.” Ace gives my ass a small smack with the order, knowing what that will do to my body. His bossing me around always gets me worked up. I know it’s crazy, but when he takes over, I feel so free. I don’t have to worry about anything. I know Ace has it. I just gotta let go. He handles the rest.

ACE
“Ilove you.” I had no idea that three simple words could make you feel like a king, but that's exactly how my Libby makes me feel. She’s always giving and showing me things I didn’t know. Libby thinks I’m showing her the world, but she’s doing the same for me. Just in different ways.
“That’s my girl.” I brush my mouth on hers. “I love you, too.”
“Then make love to me,” Libby whispers against my lips.
“Now you’re giving the orders?”
“Maybe this one time.”
I can’t help but smile. Mom had always told us that we would know when we found the one. I can’t help but think she had a hand in it somehow. I don’t care if that sounds crazy. I never believed in things like that until now. Fate is making me a believer.
“Babe, we both know who’s really in charge,” I say before I claim her mouth. The teasing is over. I need her. I can’t wait another second to fully make her mine.
I carry her inside and up to our place. I don’t stop until I make it to the bed. “Naked,” I grunt out.
I’ve been dreaming about this from the moment I laid eyes on her. I watch as she follows my orders. Stripping off her clothes, baring herself to me. Not only in the physical way, either. She’s giving herself to me completely in this moment, body and soul. Instilling her trust in me. Giving me the most precious part of her. I’m going to cherish her and every second of making her completely mine.
“So fucking beautiful.” She’s a vision.
I don’t deserve her, but that’s not going to stop me. I reach back, grabbing my shirt and pulling it off. I quickly lose the rest of my clothes. I watch as Libby’s eyes run all over my naked body. She eats me up, and I love every fucking second of it. Gone is that shy girl. I love how confident she is now in front of me. It only makes me desire her more. I want her to have that with me.
“Ace.” She reaches her hand out to stroke my hard cock. I let out a groan, feeling her soft touch against my skin. “Make me yours.” She is already mine; God knows she owns every part of me.
