Ace of Spades (Underground Affair Series Book 1) (26 page)

Ace was mulling through paperwork trying to find his desk.

“Knock, knock.”

“Hey, Chief.”

“Looks as if you haven’t been here for a month.”

“Feels that way too, but it is great to be back.”

“So, my wife called to tell me Lucy texted her.”

“Is everything alright?”

“Apparently, she received flowers and had to tell her mother just how wonderful you are.”

Ace smiled.

“I miss her. I know it sounds crazy but I do.”

The Chief sat there nodding his head.

“Not crazy. That’s just the way it is when you love someone.”

“Chief, I’ve been thinking. I don’t know if it’s too soon. I, I want to ask Lucy to be my wife.”

The Chief sat down and let out a huff of breath. Ace looked shocked. He thought the Chief would take the news better, he thought the Chief would actually be happy and give him his immediate blessing. This reaction had Ace a bit worried.

“Are you asking me if it is alright to marry my daughter?”

“Yes.”

“I know you’ve been living together and you love her and of course this is the next logical step but the thought of…”

“You don’t think I’m good enough?”

Ace stood up. He was upset now. He knew they had all been waiting for Tom to pop the question so why was this a problem?

“Ace, I didn’t say that.”

“You were willing to let her marry that scum but not me?”

“I never expected her and Tom to actually get married. Lucy’s always been my little girl.”

The Chief stood up and grabbed Ace and hugged him. Then he stepped back.

“Welcome to the family, Son.”

“Thank you, Chief.”

“So when are you going to ask her?”

“I was thinking next weekend after the wedding. The lake is beautiful, I thought maybe I could take her out on a boat and propose under the moonlight.”

“You’re going to make her the happiest woman alive.”

“I hope so.”

Before the Chief got to reply the fire tones went off signaling it was time to get going.

Shane was in his locker room showering. He was rinsing the soap from his hair when he felt two big strong arms wrap around him from behind. It was Declan.

“I’m so proud of you. You did the right thing.”

“Why does the right thing hurt so badly, Dec?”

“You won’t feel this way forever, it will get better. You know that.”

Shane turned in Declan’s arms and kissed him. He reached his hand down and started stroking Declan’s cock. Declan grabbed Shane’s cock.

“I need you, Dec.”

Declan rinsed Shane off and then shut the water. He tossed Shane a towel and together they walked back into his locker room.

“Get on your knees.”

Shane knelt on the couch while Declan grabbed the lube from Shane’s gym bag. He rubbed his cock with lube and then reached around and gave Shane’s cock a few hard tugs while he loosened him up. After a few minutes Declan pulled Shane closer to the edge of the couch and then he forced himself inside him. When they were together it was always rough, hard sex. Shane liked the pain, he needed it to feel better. Declan wasn’t into men, only Shane.

“Harder, Dec.”

Declan grabbed Shane with both hands and held him tight while he slammed into him until he came. He sat down on the couch, pulling Shane down with him. Shane continued to jerk himself off while Declan pinched his nipples and pulled his hair.

“Let it go, Shane. Yeah, there you go.”

When Shane finished cumming he reached for his towel and wiped himself off. Then he rolled onto his side and rested his head on Declan’s leg.

“Are you sure I can’t convince you to give up pussy?”

“Positive, there’s nothing like it. I still can’t believe you…”

“Shane, you in there?”

Shane jumped up and wrapped his towel around his waist and opened the door a crack.

“I was just getting dressed, I’ll be out in a few minutes.”

“Kid, I’m no idiot. Go enjoy yourself, I’ll come back in an hour.”

Buddy turned around and walked away. Shane closed the door.

“You never could lie, could you?”

“Fuck you, Dec.”

“Didn’t we just do that?”

“Come on, we need to shower before Buddy comes back.”

“Isn’t that what got us here in the first place?”

Shane threw his towel at Declan and walked into the bathroom.

Chace and Kyle were going through the victims profiles…again. It seemed to be their twice daily ritual.

“What do you think the chances are that we get a lead before he kills again?”

“At this rate, not much, Chace.”

Chace opened the next file. He started going through banking records.

“Hey, hey, look at this.”

Kyle walked behind Chace and looked over his shoulder.

“Damn, you may be onto something. That’s three for three, let’s check the rest.”

Chace pulled open another file and so did Kyle.

“That’s it, that’s the link between these five. Officer Cadence may have been a victim but she was chosen because she was one of us, not because she used the same gym.”

“Good find, Chace. I think we need to pay the gym a visit.”

“Right after I fill in Chief Manning.”

Chace grabbed the files and headed to the Chief’s office.

“L
UCY? ARE YOU HOME?”

Lucy came walking out of the bedroom naked.

“Yup!”

“Hell, woman!”

“I’ve missed you.”

“I only left a few hours ago.”

“I know. Why don’t you put down those bags and come into the bedroom.”

“I’ll be right in.”

Ace waited for Lucy to walk down the hallway so he could hide the bag from the jewelers. He couldn’t wait to ask her to marry him. After hiding the bag he started to undress as he headed towards the bedroom.

“Finally!”

Ace grabbed Lucy and tossed her down on the bed and then began kissing her allover. Lucy grabbed hold of his cock but Ace wanted Lucy’s pussy so he pulled away and slid down the bed until he was able to bury his face between her legs. Lucy wriggled about while she pulled at Ace’s hair. Her body felt like it was on fire.

“That tongue of yours is going to be the death of me.”

Ace looked up and gave Lucy a devilish smirk as he watched Lucy pull at her nipples and bite her lip. He knew she was about ready to cum. He placed three fingers inside her and sucked her clit until he tasted her as she dripped her sweetness onto his tongue.

“Ace Dean, you better fuck me now. Right now!”

Ace quickly crawled up between Lucy’s knees and slid inside her. She smiled at him and he was lost. This woman was the one he would spend the rest of his life making love to and he couldn’t imagine it any other way.

“Are you alright?”

“I love you.”

“Love you too, Ace.”

Chace and Kyle had spoken to the management and some of the members at the gym but no leads. They decided they would show up today in workout clothes to poke around and check people out.

“Are we working arms or legs today?”

“I’d like to work out on her. Look at that ass!” Chace pointed to a woman who was bent over stretching.

“Oh no you don’t.”

“What do you mean, I don’t? Do you know her?”

“Yes, and so do you dummy. Look at her and not just her ass.”

“Fucking crap!”

“Yeah, that’s right…your favorite ME.” Kyle laughed.

Chace gave him the evil eye.

“I don’t ever want to hear this mentioned. Understood?”

“I’m actually going to go talk to her and ask her a few questions.”

Chace grabbed his arm.

“What? Why?”

“Because if she works out here all the time then maybe she may have noticed someone or something out of sorts but isn’t putting two and two together because she doesn’t know what we know. That’s why. Now you can come along or hang back here and hide. But I know you really want a closer look at
dat
ass of hers.” Kyle broke out laughing.

“Speaking of ass, I’m going to kick yours.”

Kyle smiled and then took off before Chace punched him out.

“Hey, Dr. Mason, do you have a minute?”

Chloe turned around and smiled at Kyle until she saw Chace, then her smile suddenly disappeared.

“I suppose, what’s up?”

“We found a connection with the first five victims…they all belonged to this gym.”

“Oh, I see. So you’re here investigating?”

“Yeah, we’ve already come and gone through records and such with management and questioned a few members but so far nothing.”

“I don’t think I have anything either.”

“Figured as much, come on Kyle.”

“I have never met anyone who got me so annoyed. Chace, go crawl in a hole!”

“Why don’t you try pulling that stick out of your ass?”

“So, I can beat you with it, you jerk.”

“Jerk? At least I’m a jerk who is getting some.”

“You’re insinuating I’m not?”

“Who’d want a frigid bitch like you?

Kyle looked between them.

“You know what I think? I think you two need to find a room and fuck each other until you get this sexual tension out of your system.”

Kyle shook his head and walked away, leaving Chloe and Chace to just stare at one another almost in horror until Chloe finally reached down, picked up her water bottle and stormed off in a huff. Chace stood there speechless.
