Chapter 328 Lingering Desire
Chapter 328 Lingering Desire
“Are you awake or not really?” he asked in a low murmured that I found so alluring.
“Maybe…” I replied lazily.
Despite my vague answer, I did succeed in opening my eyes to look at him. I found Ace sleeping on the
bed on his side with his eyes on my face. Suddenly, I felt nervous and a little shy so I couldn’t truly
meet his gaze. The sound of the rain outside coupled with the way that Ace was staring at me made
the environment suddenly romantic. Waking up to spend time with Ace in bed felt like a treat that I
didn’t hesitate to enjoy.
“Is it morning already?” I asked while sounding very sleepy.
“Unfortunately, dawn has broken but it’s still very early,” Ace replied before smiling my way.
His alluring smile made my chest feel tight and that reminded me of how lucky I was to still have Ace by
my side. Although I wasn’t sure what exactly brought us together, I was thankful for it. Whether it was
just a stroke of wild luck, a fateful encounter planned by the heavens, or simply just a non-meaningful
coincidental meeting, I felt thankful for it.
The sound of the rain always brought back memories of the darkest days of my life. Many years have
passed by since then, but the memories of that rainy day still felt fresh in my mind whenever it rained
and I had a quiet moment to myself that was enough for my thoughts to wander. The sudden
cancellation of my scholarship back then made me feel like the entire world had collapsed around me
and that I no longer had a future in front of me.
Looking back, those dreadful thoughts that ran through my head that day seemed irrational. Losing my
scholarship clearly wasn’t the end of the world for me or for anyone for that matter. Being so young Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
back then, I couldn’t see it the way that I see it now. On the bright side, that means that I’ve grown
stronger and hopefully more than a little wiser as well.
It was the same as always, every time that the rain made me recall that day, I would be reminded of
that inspiring commercial that I happened to laid eyes on and how much impact it made on my life. It
wasn’t just at that moment that it changed my mind for the better and gave me hope to keep on living,
but that commercial also set the ball rolling for the pursuant for the dream of my career. In more ways
than one, that commercial and that moment gave me hope and a purpose in life that I wanted to
pursue.
“What are you thinking about?” Ace asked in a slightly teasing tone.
I must have gone quiet for a while when I got wrapped up in my own thoughts. My lips curved into a
regretful smile after I had snapped myself out of my thoughts and returned my entire attention back to
the handsome man in front of me.
“Nothing. Just something random that I recalled because of the rain…” I replied.
“It is still raining…” Ace murmured although his eyes did not stray from my face to look out of the
window.
Ace’s intent gaze made my heart beat faster and suddenly a tingly sensation started to stir in the pit of
my stomach. I looked away before that slight feeling of temptation would turn into something much
greater. My cheeks burned with warmth when I thought that it was so unlike me to want him again after
the hot and heavy sex that we had just the night before.
“Rina…” Ace called my name in a husky whisper.
I was thankful that I wasn’t looking straight at him because I feared the face that I would make at the
extremely seductive tone of his voice. My body shivered as I felt the bed shift beneath me and then I
could feel Ace’s presence close behind me. His hand glided over the curve of my body from my back
down along the side of my waist.
“Ace…” I murmured his name.
His hand moved in front of me to stroke the soft skin of my belly as he shifted his body even closer to
mine. It was all that I could do to stop myself from moaning when his hand boldly slid up to my chest to
cup my naked breasts. The heat of his naked skin along with the hardness of his muscular body
pressing up against my back made me aware of his desire and the fact that he was so close.
“Ace…wait…” I murmured weakly.
His large hand groped my breast before squeezing it and fondling it. I couldn’t handle the pleasure of
his seductive caress and ended up whimpering and moaning softly. My nipples hardened immediately
at his touch as his large manly hand moved to play with my soft flesh. I whimpered again as his hand
moved from one breast to pleasure the other. My breath came in short gasps and then my body started
to writhe in bliss. The heat of desire sparked and began burning deep within my core as my pussy
throbbed uncontrollably.
It was hard for me to believe how turned on I could be even after all that we did last night. Ace’s other
hand moved to caress the sides of my waist before sliding quickly down to cup the side of my hips. I
moaned and closed my eyes as thoughts of Ace flooded my mind along with my desire and yearning
for him. His hand moved to stroke my buttocks teasingly before slipping in front and in between my
legs.
“Ahhh…” I moaned despite myself.
“You’re so wet, Rina. Your pussy is dripping wet…” Ace whispered seductively into my ear.
“Ace…ahhh…” I called his name before I went back to moaning.
My body always betrayed me when it came to wanting Ace. His fingers delved into the wetness in
between my thighs and began stroking it. I could feel how slippery and wet I was down there as his
fingers smoothly glided along the wet folds of my pussy. My hips began moving in rhythm to the
movement of his skillful fingers.
