Chapter 44

Louisa's p.o.v;

When I woke up, I saw Ace looking at me. Why is he looking at me?

I asked while rubbing my eyes, "When did you wake up?"

He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear while saying, "a few minutes ago."

"Then why are you still lying here?"

I woke up from the bed but stumbled and fell back on the bed. My back hurts a lot! I bet he'll be laughing at me right now.

Ace got up from bed and stood in front of me and lended me his hands while saying, "Let me help you."

I held his hand and got up from the bed.

He asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

After I gave a nod, he helped me to go to the bathroom. After I walked into the bathroom, I said, "I'll take care from here. And closed the door.

Last night, i passed out while having sex with him. Today, I stumbled and fell on the bed. I hope he doesn't think I'm weak.

When I came out of the bathroom, he held my hand and helped me to walk to the bed. Was he waiting outside the bathroom all these time?

He helped me to sit on the bed and said, "Hold on. Don't go back to sleep. I'll bring you breakfast."

After I gave a nod, he walked out of the room.

After a while, Ace returned back with a tray of food and placed it on the table. When I looked at it, it had a cheese and tomato potato bake and a mixed fruit milkshake.

When I looked at him after taking a look at the food, he said, "Cheese helps in blood circulation, where tomatoes in muscle control and keeps you hydrated. Fruit milkshakes have apples, strawberries, and bananas which help you gain energy back which was used up last night."

I smiled to myself and started eating the food he prepared for me even though I didn't have an appetite to eat.

While I was eating the food, I saw him getting ready in a hurry.

"Where are you leaving?"

"It's about the drug I'm dealing with. They asked me to…"

Before he finished, I said, "Don't talk about your work to me. I'm happy that you're being honest but I don't have faith in myself lately. I'm afraid that I'll do something bad behind your back. I don't want that. So, don't tell me about those things."

He walked to me and caressed my hair while saying, "I'll come quickly. I made lunch for you too. It's in the refrigerator. And, for dinner, I'll be back before that. So don't order takeaways. Understand?"

After I gave a nod, he smiled at me and planted a kiss on my forehead and said, "Take care. I'll be back quickly." And walked out of the room.

Whenever reality hits me, I'm afraid that I'll lose him. Whatever happens, I won't leave his side at any time. I'll be there for him no matter what.

After a nap, I got up from bed and had a shower. When I sat in the living room, someone knocked on the door. Is it Ace? Did he finish his work already?

I opened the door while having smiles all over my face but I saw Raphael instead of Ace. Raphael gave a surprised expression on his face where I remembered that I was still in my underwear from shower. I excused myself, closed the door, changed my clothes, and opened the door.

He walked in while saying, "I think it'll be the best warm welcome I've ever had." And laughed.

"Aren't you on duty now?" I asked.

"Yeah. I came to see how you are. Are you alright now?"

"Yeah, I feel better."

"Then will you take the drug case again since you recovered?"

"I don't think so."

He nodded and asked while sniffing, "It smells good. Did you order take away?"

"No."

"Did you cook by yourself?"

"Don't sound like I'm bad at it. It was only that time I made a mistake."

"A mistake? Who puts cucumbers in Tomato pasta? You have to be in prison for trying to food poisoning me. You should be glad that I didn't do it."

"If you hate my cooking then why did you eat my brigadeiro cake so merrily?"

"Because you're an expert in baking rather than cooking. I would eat whatever you bake but when it comes to cooking, that's a big no from me. By the way, what food did you order to take away?"

I took the cheese and potato tomorrow bake from the oven and placed it in front of him. He took a sniff and said, "That smells delicious." After he took a bite, he asked, "Which restaurant did you order from? It tastes delicious too."

"Believe it or not, it's homemade."

When he came to take another bite, his phone rang. He talked on his phone and said, "I feel like eating delicious food."

"Who was on the call?"

"It's chief. I have to leave." He patted my shoulder saying, "Take rest and come tomorrow with your full energy. We'll be needing it a lot tomorrow." And walked to the door.

While I was standing beside him, he asked while putting on his shoe, "Did you have someone in the house?"

"Yeah, a friend visited."

He nodded and left the house after bidding me a hug.

I walked inside the house and looked around to see how he found that I had someone in the house. I didn't see Ace's clothes or things around, then how did he find them?

At 7 pm,

I arranged everything for tomorrow's work and sat in the living room to watch some movies on the television. When I changed the channel, I saw Bernie giving an interview. The way he talked to the interviewer was so posh. Does he think he's a celebrity?

I made a call to Bernie. He answered it quicker than I expected.

"Hey, Louisa. What are you doing?"

"I saw your interview on the television."

"Did it come out already? I should tell Everly about this. By the way, how did I look in the interview? Wasn't I handsome?"

I let out a sigh and said, "Yeah, so handsome that hurt my eyes so I shut down the television to save my eyes from getting damaged."

"You never change. By the way, shall we meet this weekend?"

"If you really wanted to meet up, you would make the call to me. You wouldn't wait until I made the call."

"Even after you become a cop, you still speak like a philosophy student. I'm inviting Everly too so let's meet up this weekend at the art museum." And ended the call.

He didn't even let me speak at work. Is it because he's an attorney? After we graduated, our choice of jobs brought surprise for each of us. I became a police officer. Bernie became an attorney and Everly picked up a job as an executive assistant for some billionaire. Because of our job, we couldn't meet each other often but we'll hang out together whenever we meet accidentally on a day.

I placed the phone beside it and continued watching television. I came across a movie named 'seven' while I was changing the channel continuously. I continued watching it. It made me cry because the killer will murder the defective wife in the end.

I heard the doorbell ringing. I opened the door and saw Ace standing in front of me.

When I tried to walk into the house, he pulled me towards him and held my cheeks together and looked at my face. He rubbed his thumb under my whole cheek while asking, "Did you cry? Why did you cry?"

I removed his hand off my face and said, "It was a movie."

"You cried after seeing a movie?"

"Yeah."

He patted my head and said, "For a moment, I got worried. Hold on. I'll prepare something for dinner."

I gave a nod and continued watching television.

He shouted from the kitchen, "Don't watch movies with sad endings. Watch something good. Like comedy."

I changed the channel and watched some comedy show while he was preparing food for us.

At the dining table,

He asked, "What was the name of the movie which made you cry?"

"Seven."

"What's the story?"

"A serial killer murders people using the seven deadly sins. A detective who is about to retire and a cop who just moved in with his wife will try to stop him."

"Did they stop him?"

"No, he won in the end."

"Everyone wants a happy ending, right? By the way, which part made my girl cry?"

"The part where the killer murder the detective's wife as one of the sins. I admit that the people he killed committed a crime but what did the wife do to get killed? I don't why it's always the people around us who get hurt. If there's a conflict between two persons, aren't they supposed to keep it between them? But why are they hurting other people's loved ones?"

"Did it make you remember something from the past?"

I nodded and said, "It reminded me of when Bernie got into an accident because of me. Do you know how guilty I was at that time? If you weren't there with me, I would have killed myself out of guilt."

"Hey, it's over. Bernie's alright. And, you overcome that. Everything's okay now. Understand?"

I nodded and wiped my tears and continued eating.

"Do you see a lot of films like this?"

"Yeah, how do you know that?"

"The way you spoke for the killer. You talked like his killings were the right option for those people who committed the crimes."

"Since I was alone all my life, I saw a lot of horror and thriller movies which kept me occupied."

"It striked me some moments from the past when you spoke for the killer."

"Like what?"

"While you were staying at my place, it was filled with cries and screams and bodies of dead people dragging around the house but you never reacted to any one of those. Why?"

"Not everyone's good here from my perspective. But with the ethics I studied, If someone dies, it'll be only because they did something good or bad. You guys didn't seem like bad ones to me so I thought the dead ones might be the bad ones."

"After hearing you talk like that, I'm getting curious to know how you handle the cases."

I let out a laugh and said, "Don't worry. I'm not a psychopath who kills every criminal under the name of someone superior. Actually, there was a time, among many cases I handled, I came across a serial killer named Guilherme. Raphael and I handled his case that time. While we're investigating the killings done by him, he turned himself in. It came as a surprise to me because not many people do that. In the interrogation room, he said the reason was surrendering himself because he finished his work. He didn't look scared or guilty. His face lacked expression which thrilled me and made me talk with him more. I always wanted to know how these people think, which made me talk with him even when it's not interrogation time. After knowing this, Raphael removed me from the case saying that the killer was trying to manipulate me and kept me away from him. In the end, the killer went to prison to serve his life sentence."

"Looks like this cop, Raphael you're talking about, takes care of you more than a colleague."

"He's just a friend. More like a brother to me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, one heart, one love. That is you."

I kissed him on his cheek and said, "Since I'm going to work tomorrow, I'm going to hit the bed soon. Goodnight." And I walked to the room.

When I laid on the bed, he walked into the room shirtless and asked, "Are you really going to sleep?"

I tucked under the blankets and said, "Yes, I have work tomorrow."

He laid on the bed beside me and asked, "Can I atleast have a hug?"

I turned towards him and hugged him by wrapping my hands around him and said, "Don't try anything funny."

After some time, I pushed him away and turned away from him.

"Why did you push me away? I didn't do anything."

I pointed at his dick and asked, "Why is it hard?"

"Some things cannot be controlled by me too." And made a smirk at me.

I held it in my hand and asked, "Do you want me to control it for you?" And crushed a little.

He removed my hands and said, "It should be handled very carefully." He stood up from the bed and said, "I'll cool down by myself." And walked into the bathroom.

I could hear his moans clearly since he didn't close the door. Was he doing this on purpose?

I got up from the bed and opened the door while asking, "Are you trying to seduce me?" And saw him jerking. After seeing me, his cum spurted out from his dick.

He covered his face with another hand and said, "Shit." And laughed out loud.

While I was stunned from the view, he walked to me being naked and whispered into his ears, "I took care of it." Gave a pat on my shoulder and walked past me.

When he tried to get on the bed after getting dressed in front of me, I pushed him on the bed and got on top of him and started unbuttoning my shirt.

He looked at me and teased, "What are you trying to do? Is the room hot? Shall I decrease the temperature for you?"

I pressed my lips against his lips and kissed him while saying, "Stop talking." And continued kissing his lips. When I parted my lips, he slipped his tongue inside and tried to gain control over me but bit his tongue and sucked it.

When he tried to get into my underwear, I stopped him and said, "Since you seduced me, you're not allowed to touch me today." I tied his hands together and said, "Keep your hands to yourself."

I removed my bra and underwear and sat over him.

I put my hands on his shoulders, squeezing gently as I looked him in the eye and said with a straight face, "You want to touch me here, don't you?"

He didn’t answer, not at first. He stared up at me, eyes wide, and he looked so shocked that it was almost funny.

"Sexy."

"Shhhhh…. You're not allowed to speak."

He was completely naked, his body glistening with sweat as I moved down on top of him. I kissed his stomach and worked my way up towards his neck, where he was still bucking under me. I reached his collarbones and sucked gently, enjoying how much I could make out of the smooth skin in between his muscle mass.

"Untie me, Louisa."

I went down and touched his manhood while asking, "Why is it still hard? Didn't you cum a minute ago?" And started rubbing it using my hand. He flinched and bit down on his bottom lip, but said nothing, so I moved my hand up and down while holding his dick and started fapping it. In no time, he came.

I leaned over him and whispered, "Let's see how much you can cum today." And spread my legs and sat on top of him. Using my hand, I slid his dick into my hole. My body shivered as I felt him inside me but it slipped out. Ace removed the fabric around his hand and pushed his dick into me and kept his hands on my hips, gripping them tight before pulling back to give himself more access. The sound of my skin smacking against each other echoed in the room, and I took a moment to enjoy myself.

Suddenly, he sat straight which made his dick go deeper into me, with a moan.

My mouth watered as he kissed down my jawline, leaving wet sloppy kisses on my neck.

I moaned when he reached my nipple. His tongue traced it slowly then bit and sucked gently causing my whole body to arch upward. He continued sucking and biting until I was crying out loudly while he was fucking me from below deeper. I was fucking wet but he never hesitated when it come to fucking me. After smacking very hard, I came. And he came too.

His cock was still inside me so I could barely breathe. "We cum together." And laughed into my ears.

I hit his shoulder while saying, "Take it out. I'm sleepy."

He gave me a stare and pinned me down and started moving inside me.

"Wait… are we doing it again? You just came, didn't you?"

"Only once."

"With your age, how do you keep…"

"Fuck. It is only in such situations that you remember my age." And started ramming against me.

The next morning,

We kept going in rounds one after another. I forget when I went to sleep. When I moved, I realised that he was still inside me. Didn't he take it out last night?

I hit on his shoulder and said, "Wake up."

He moved forward which made him go deeper into me.

I started hitting on his shoulder, "Take it out. Take it out."

He pulled me towards him and started moving while holding my hips.

"No, stop it. Didn't we do it all night? Why is yours still hard? Take it out."

"You're the one who seduced me in the first place."

"When did I?"

"Didn't you seduce me by tieing my hands together?"

"You jerked without closing the door. You're the one who seduced me first."

"You seduced me by giving me a kiss on my temple."

"Fine! Only once."

After a while,

"S-stop, ah… it's late already… ha… get your dick out…"

He held my face and said, "It's still early."

"But I have to go to work now…"

He took his dick out and gave a kiss on my forehead and said, "Don't go."

I pushed him out of the bed and said, "I won't allow you to touch me again."

While I was shouting at him, I heard a doorbell.

He asked, "Who's it?"

"I don't know. You stay in the room. Don't come out."

I took a nearby shirt and buttoned up hurriedly and opened the door. It's Raphael.

He gave me a shocked expression and said, "Do you welcome your guests every time like this?"

When I looked at myself, I was wearing a halfway buttoned shirt with no pants. I pulled my shirt down and said, "What is it?"

"You didn't show up at the office today so I got worried and thought about visiting you."

"Yeah, I woke up pretty late."

"Shall I ask for a leave for you?"

"It's fine. I'll be there."

"Is someone inside?"

"Yeah, a friend." And smiled at him nervously.

"Looks like you had a rough night. Cover your neck with something before coming to the office. See ya." And left.

I closed the door and walked into the room. Ace was lying on the bed being naked and was smiling at me.

"Why didn't you say that this is your shirt?"

"I tried to but you ran before hearing me out." And continued laughing.

I removed my shirt and threw it on his face and walked to my wardrobe to find the uniform which I ironed last night.

Ace hugged me from behind and asked, "Do you have to go today?"

I removed his hands and said, "Yes. If you may, I have to take a shower."

He held my hand and asked, "Can I join you?"

"No. I knew your intentions."

When I was about to close the door, I stopped and said, "Come in before I change my mind."
