Ace POV:

Come on, baby,” I mumbled, snuggling inside her neck.

She groaned and tightened her arms around my neck.

You said no one is hurting you in college then what is it, Amore,” I said, stroking her bare thighs.

I.. wanna be with you,” she said.

I looked at her, sternly.

We were dressed, and ready to leave for our respective places. BUT… My Mini had other plans today.

It was already 7:30 and we were still in our room.

After breakfast, I told her to get our things from the room. But, boy I was wrong.

She didn’t come back when I checked up on her and found…

Her lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

So, now we are cuddled on the bed. Our dresses were disheveled, messy hair. Dammit.

I rolled over and got on top of her, slightly, that my one leg between hers and my head on the pillow.

She looked at me, drowsily. But she wasn’t sleepy.

She whined, pushing herself close to me by grabbing my shirt tightly.

You will be late,” I whispered, our lips were too close. Such a tease.

She hummed, gazing at my lips and eyes.

I saw her leaning down. God, she’s hard to resist.

Her lips didn’t move, they just stayed there for some seconds and started to move very slowly. Tempting.

I groaned and thrust my tongue inside her mouth, roughly.

I nudged her clothed cunt by my knees, gently.

A soft hum came out of her throat, making me painfully hard.

Corrupting. I am corrupting my good girl.

We backed away, just a little bit.

She gripped my tie and pulled her close to me.

Not kissing but snuggling inside my neck.

I will die in blue balls.

A knock on the door interrupted my lewd thoughts.

I fisted her hair and made her look at me.

Mini, don’t be a brat,” I said, sternly.

She bit her lips and whined when I tightened my hold on her hair.

Guys,” I heard Susan’s voice.

When I looked over to the doorway and saw her leaning on the door, smugly.

I adjusted Iris’ frock, even though she was wearing shorts inside.

Alex is waiting,” Susan said, her hands firmly folded against her chest.

Hey,” Iris said, waving to Susan.

Mini, get up,” I said, releasing her hair.

She snuggled inside my neck, humming.

Get up, Ace,” Susan exclaimed.

You think it’s easy,” I said, deadpanned.

Her body was wrapped around me, tightly.

I groaned and got on top of her. I heard the door shut. Fuckin’ hell.

She whined and grabbed my tie, pulling me close to her.

Please can I stay at home,” she whispered, her fingers stroking my cheeks.

When I tried to back away, she would pull my tie making our noses touch against each other.

Give me a reason why you should stay at home today,” I murmured, gulping.

Fucking hell, I will fuck her if she doesn’t stop now.

She stayed silent. Her hot breath tickled against my skin.

I love you,” I said, stroking her cheeks.

I love..you more.” she said, giggling.

Really, how much,” I asked, leaving wet and open kisses on her neck.

She shuttered and giggled.

Soo. mu-Ahh,” she yelped, loudly when I stood up on my knees.

Her legs fell on the bed and she sat up, glaring at me.

You used our love as a distraction, you’re bad,” she said, angrily.

I got out of bed and tucked my shirt inside my pants, straightening my pants, fixing my tie, and adjusting my hair.

She was looking with an unreadable expression.

Her frock was staying in her upper thighs, her dress straps rode down past her shoulder, her knee-high socks did no justice for my junior down there, and her hair was messy.

I took out a comb and stood in front of the dressing table, emotionlessly.

She grumbled and walked towards me, her head hung low.

Either you give a valid reason or go to college like a good girl,” I said, taking out the scrunchie and her beautiful hair fell down past her shoulder, showcasing her natural beauty.

She stayed silent and I combed her hair.

I put her hair in a half-up bun.

She looked so beautiful and it made me jealous.

Mini, did you talk to boys,” I asked, grabbing her bag.

No,” she said, standing there.

It’s gonna be 8,” I said, exaggerating.

She huffed and went outside the room, pouting.

I walked behind her, staring at her little ass which was a little bit thick and round.

She was wearing a gray floral frock that stayed till her thighs, hugging tightly against her waist, black knee socks with Converse shoes.

I want to fuck her in those knee socks. One day.

FINALLY!,” Alex exclaimed.

I sighed.

Iris went outside, her head hung low.

Are you sure, everything is fine? If I get to know someone is hurting her I will make sure to kill them and you too,” I said to Alex.

He nodded.

Well, who likes to go college, anyways,” Alex said walking beside me.

I saw her sitting inside the car, lost in her thoughts.

One day wouldn’t hurt,” I asked, emotionlessly.

Well, if you saw her studying then you would say she should stay in college every second,” he said, shaking his head.

I sighed and he sat inside the car.

Iris looked at me, smiling warmly.

I walked up to her and she rolled down the car window.

Mini, No one is hurting you right,” I asked, worryingly.

She nodded, smiling.

Trust me, love, if I find out they will die in the most painful ways,” I said, coldly.

She nods, nervously.

Ok, can we go now, Daddy,” Alex said, mockingly.

I rolled my eyes and backed away.

Daddy,” she giggled, widely.

Fuckin’ hell.

Bye-bye Daddy,” Iris said, laughing.

Gosh, it’s not funny to me.

Alex smirked and started to drive the car.

Daddy…

I shook my head and sat inside my car, Ares was in the driver’s seat.

Βασιλιά, όλα είναι έτοιμα (King, everything is ready),” he said.

Ok,” I looked at my watch.

Όλοι είναι ενθουσιασμένοι που βλέπουν τη βασίλισσά τους (Everyone is excited to see their queen),” Ares said.

I smiled. My hands fiddled with my pendant.

Just a few more days….

Iris POV:

My legs bounced under the table, anxiously.

The class started an hour ago and the teacher was speaking about sonnets.

Edrick didn’t come yet.

Last time, whatever I said, it was stupid.

I mean I shouldn’t judge anyone by their outer appearance till I get to know them.

If I behaved like that before then I wouldn’t be in love with Ace by now.

Ace.. he’s so..ugh.. I love him so much.

I took 2 days off and Ace was okay with it too.

But today he wanted me to go to college because it could affect my studies.

As much as I want to hate him now, I know he’s right.

I am afraid Edrick will hurt me for saying... THUD.

I flinched and dug my nails on the table.

He’s here.

I gulped and looked at the teacher, calming my heartbeat.

It’s okay, it’s okay… he’s not gonna

I sucked in a breath when he sat beside me too close to my liking.

His freaking shoulder was touching mine. AHHHH!!!

I tried to move away very slowly which I successfully did.

I released a breath and bit my lips.

Where were you,” his deep voice came out gruffly and his eyes focused on the teacher.

What,” I whispered, without looking at him.

You were absent for 2 days,” he whispered, scooting close to me.

Yeah..,’ I said, my toes were curled inside my shoes in fear.

Fever,” he asked.

I looked at him, frowning deeply.

He waited for me to say anything.

Yeah..,” I said, my brows furrowed in confusion.

What the hell! Why is he nice to me?

He leaned back, swirling the pen between his fingers and listening to the teacher.

Ok… I released a breath and sat comfortably in my seat. Thank god.

And for the rest of the class, he didn’t say anything to me.

Ok, class,” the teacher said, enthusiastically.

Everyone groaned.

Class is over but I have to distribute the test papers from last week,” he said.

Then one by one the teacher called the students names and they took it.

God, please I just want above 50 marks.

I bit my lips and stared at the teacher in anticipation.

I promised myself I would get better marks and show it to Ace.

Iris,” the teacher yelled.

I stood up and pushed away Edrick walking to the teacher, nervously.

The teacher looked at me, emotionlessly.

I tapped my fingers on my thighs, my feet were bouncing.

Excited,” the teacher said, looking at me.

I nod my head, vigorously.

I gasped when the teacher handed me my paper.

I had 70 out of 80.

Good work, Iris. You improved than last time,” he said, smiling at me.

Thank you, sir,” I said, looking at him.

I started to walk back to my seat.

I waved the paper to Ali, and she showed me a thumbs-up.

Edrick made a space and got inside.

Thank you,” I said, bowing to him.

How much,” he asked, coldly.

70…,” I squealed silently, palming my cheeks.

He nods his head.

Ahh..um.. Edrick I am sorry for the things I said that day,” I said, choosing the right words.

I don’t know anything about you and I said those horrible things and..I ..I-I am extremely sorry,” I said, sighing.

He nodded and looked away, emotionlessly.

Did he not believe me?

Edrick, I am really sorry,” I said, biting my lips anxiously.

He stood up and left without saying anything.

Okay.. now tell me if someone is apologizing to someone after saying horrible things.

What would a normal human being do? Forgive them or yell at them.

But NO! This man walked away leaving me confused if he believed me or not.

Girllll… I am fucking proud of you,” Ali said, looking at my test paper.

I smiled and packed my bag.

Maybe I could apologize to him later.

Just like, that our day comes to an end… graciously.

I can’t wait to tell Ace and others.

Ali and I were walking through the crowded hallways.

The students were chattering, laughing, and leaving for their houses.

I stopped when I saw Edrick sitting on a bench with Stella and his friends.

He was holding his head in pain. Well, it looks like that.

Iris, you’re staring,” Ali said, standing beside me.

He.. looks in pain,” I said, my eyes never leaving Edrick’s face.

His face looked different now. Slightly red and tiredness was evident on his face.

O..m..g is he having a fever?

When Aiden caught a cold his face also looked like that.

Stay here, keep an eye on him,” I said, running towards my locker.

I always put an Advil in my locker for emergency reasons.

When I came back, I was breathing heavily.

Where the hell did you go,” Ali yelled quietly.

Only a few students were roaming inside the hallways.

I went towards Edrick who was thankfully sitting with his one friend.

Hey,” I said, my hands were sweaty.

They looked at us, emotionlessly.

I extended the tablet towards Edrick and he looked at me, emotionlessly.

It’s Advil,” I said nervously.

So, did he ask you,” his friend said, snickering.

Gosh, now girls also use this way to get our attention, pathetic,” he said, standing up.

What the actual hell!!.

Let’s go, Ed,” his friend said, walking away.

Edrick stood up, slowly.

I don’t know if you have a fever or something but I really hope it will help you,” I said, extending the tablet to him.

He was looking at Ali.

He took it and started to walk away.

Yay! Maybe he really forgave me.

Edrick looked at me,” Ali said as we started to walk towards the exit.

Yeah..,” I said, smiling.

She giggled and shook his head.

Oh lala! She likes him.

Ali was a beautiful girl. Sweet nature, kind, 5’6, long brunette hair, blue eyes, pale glowing skin. A model.

See you, later girl,” she said, sitting inside her car.

She was rich too but not too rich. I like her.

I stood in front of the exit waiting for Alex. He said if he gets late then someone else will pick me up.

It was 5:20 and he hadn’t come yet.

I saw people living in their cars and bikes.

I sighed, my dad also used to pick me up from the park like that.

“Hey,”

I smiled.

Hello,” I said, confused.

Remember me. Nick,” he said, showing his perfect white teeth.

I nod, smiling at him formally. I don’t know him.

This is awkward.

A loud honk interrupted our movement. Thankfully.

A big car stood in front of me and the windows rolled down. It was Liam.

Principessa,” he said, looking at me, smiling. Like a little bit of a smile.

Okay then see you later,” he said, walking away.

I nod, frowning. Weird.

Who’s he,” Liam asked, looking at me.

I shrugged and he nodded, lost in his thoughts.

I put on the seat belt, smiling wide.

You look happy,” he said, starting the engine.

I nodded and smiled, looking around, aimlessly.

But my smile fell when I saw a group, more like a specific boy. Who was staring in my direction. Edrick.

I rolled up the window, afraidly.

Maybe he was staring behind me at the garden. Yes, the garden.

Don’t tell Ace that I was late,” Liam said.

I giggled and nodded.

It took 20 minutes to reach the mansion.

I got out and I waved to Liam, a goodbye.

I greeted everyone and went inside the house, bouncing excitedly

First I will freshen up, then prepare Ace’s favorite foods and I will show him my test paper.

Ace POV:

I got out of the car, grabbing my coat.

It was 7:30 in the evening.

When I stepped inside the house, I was met with 4 maids standing in the hall, holding their giggles.

But it instantly fell when I got into their views.

Boss,” they all bowed and stood there looking at the ground.

Why are you all here, still,” I asked, looking around.

I told the maids to not enter the house after 7 in the evening. Not even a single guard. Except for emergencies.

Boss, mam was preparing some food so we were helping her,” one of the maids said.

You’re home,” my eyes looked toward the voice in desperation.

I gulped and looked at her, intensely.

Sorry, here you go,” she said, handing them some boxes filled with food.

They took it and left, hurriedly.

I looked at them confused.

Welcome home,” Iris yelled, hugging my waist.

I picked her up and she giggled. Heaven.

How was your day,” I asked, walking us towards the bedroom.

Good, perfect. what about you,” she asked, smiling at me.

I hummed and opened the door.

She tapped my shoulder and I put her down, carefully.

I put your clothes on the bed. So, freshen up and come back to the dining table, quickly,” she said and left a kiss on my temple.

Then ran outside murmuring something incoherent.

Ok… I stripped down and went inside the shower.

After two days we will leave for Italy and I could show her some things and the people.

Then I will make her mine completely.

I emerged from the bathroom and wore my dress which was selected by her.

Gosh, I was grinning like a high school lover. Proud and unashamed.

When I came to the dining hall my heart got struck.

Foods. The table was filled with food.

Veg Fried rice, Egg Rolls, Plov, Soups, Steak, Chicken Rice, Harissa-Marinated Chicken, and a whole-ass chocolate cake.

I sat down and looked at my girl who was grinning and looking like a goddess.

Something special,” I asked, when she started to serve me.

Yes,’ she said, smiling.

I don’t remember anything,” I said, sipping the soup. Delicious.

Well, I will tell you after dinner,” she said,

She served my plate so full that I couldn’t see the plate color, only her food.

I chuckled and ate.

Our dinner went silently. I could see her looking at me often.

So, do you like the food,” she asked.

No walking while eating,” I said, chewing the delicious food.

I love to tease her.

She pouted and ate her food, grumbling.

-----------------------------------------------

I hummed. Fucking hell!

The cake tasted delicious.

I was not a hater of sweets but not a lover either.

We were sitting in the hall with a plate of cake made by my Mini.

I pat my lap looking at her.

She smiled shyly and sat on my lap.

I adjusted her on my lap in bridal style while holding the plate.

So, what is it,” I asked, licking the cake out of the spoon.

So, you know I made a promise that next time I will get higher marks than before,” she paused, and opened a paper.

And I did,” she said, her face glowing in happiness.

She opened a paper in front of my face and I looked at it.

Woah!,” I blurted out in surprise.

You should be proud of yourself,” I said, extending my spoon in front of her lips.

She licked the spoon and sighed.

Are you proud of me,” she asked, tracing my tattoos.

I am, so much,” I said, looking into her eyes.

Did you like the food,” she asked, putting the plate on the table.

I wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled her close to me.

I did. I didn't know you could cook this much,” I said, biting her earlobe.

She threw her head back, laughing.

So you made all this because you got high marks,” I asked, confused.

Yeah,” she said.

I frowned and hummed.

Shouldn’t I be giving you a gift than you making all this,” I asked, perplexed.

Her brows furrowed, deeply.

Yeah, but.. Yeah,” she said, laughing.

But it made you happy… right,” she asked.

Did it make me happy?

Yes. It made me feel loved. The love that I lost years ago.

The warmth that I lost years ago.

I nod, emotionlessly.

What happened,” she asked, worryingly.

I gulped.

Thank you,” I whispered.

No need, I just wanted to... Do this for you. Don’t thank me,” she said, standing up.

I gripped her wrist, a frown stayed on my forehead.

Why? Why do you want to do this...all for me,” I asked, perplexed.

She looked at me confused.

Because I love you, my lover,” she said and I felt numb.

I released her wrist and she disappeared inside the hallways.

“Because I love you, my lover”

“Because I love you, Ace”

My mother’s words rang inside my ear, my chest felt tight.

The same words she said to me every time.

I stood up, breathing heavily.

My skin felt like it was burning, my throat felt tight, my heartbeat was rising.

I gulped. I felt thirsty.

Ace, what happened you’re...not okay,” I heard her voice behind me.

She touched my shoulder, burning my skin.

I pushed her hand away from me. It burns.

I walked towards the exit and shut the door.

I want blood. I want to see blood…
