Ace of Spades (Underground Affair Series Book 1) (9 page)

Chace and Kyle had been going from one crime scene to another. It was one long grizzly day.

“Damn Kyle, I don’t remember the last time we had back to back calls like this.”

“Yeah well, don’t look now but your day is about to get worse.”

Chace looked in the direction Kyle was looking.

“Great.”

“So Detectives, what do we have here?”

Chace chose to ignore Chloe.

“Dr. Mason.”

Chace never looked up he just started talking.

“Looks like the same MO as the Plaza Street homicide.”

Chloe put on her gloves and knelt down to examine the body.

“I can’t be positive until I conduct an autopsy but yes, I agree.”

“Whoa, you and the big guy here actually agree on something.”

Chloe turned and gave Kyle a dirty look.

“Fuck you, Kyle.”

“The only fucking I’m doing is with my wife.”

Chloe stood up. She took off her gloves and then looked up at Chace and Kyle.

“You two are pathetic. We are working here, this is no time for a discussion about who is fucking who.”

“You’re right, I’m sorry, Dr. Mason.”

“Touchy aren’t we. What’s the matter, not getting any Mason?” Chace laughed.

“My personal life is none of your business.”

Kyle decided he had better start talking before things got any worse.

“How long before your report will be available?”

“I should have the preliminary report to you tonight, Detective Kent.”

Chace walked away and left Kyle talking to Little Miss Sunshine.

Lucy and Ace had dinner. They made small talk but didn’t discuss what had happened earlier in the living room. After they finished their lasagna, Lucy got up and grabbed the pie and whipped cream.

“Your mom really can cook.”

“Yes, she can. Is your mom a good cook?”

“She did great dumping food out of a can and microwaving it, when she remembered to feed us.”

Lucy felt bad now that she asked.

“I better get going.”

Lucy didn’t want him to go but especially not upset. She decided to do something completely out of character. She picked up the whipped cream and sprayed it at Ace.

Ace sat there stunned for a minute, then he jumped up and grabbed the can and sprayed Lucy in the face. Then he leaned over and started licking it off. When he got to her mouth he kissed her. Lucy started pulling at Ace’s jeans until she popped all the buttons. Ace pulled back.

“Lucy, I…”

Lucy grabbed the whipped cream with one hand and Ace’s waistband with the other and sprayed the whipped cream. Then she dropped to her knees and began licking it off. Ace watched Lucy as she licked him clean. He knew he was making a huge mistake but right now he was thinking with his cock and it wanted Lucy. Lucy looked up at him and smiled.

“Fuck it.”

Ace grabbed Lucy by her waist and yanked her up and laid her down on the table. He pushed her dress up and her underwear down. He grabbed a condom from his wallet and rolled it on. Then he grabbed Lucy and pulled her closer as he plunged his cock inside her.

“You feel so good, so hard.”

Ace slowed down his pace so that he could lean over and kiss Lucy. Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck. Ace whispered in her ear, “I’ve wanted you so bad…”

“You’re all I think about, Ace.”

Lucy started wriggling beneath him. Ace took that as his cue to get moving again and he did. Hearing Lucy moan his name pushed him over the edge and he came. Ace pulled out, took off the condom and placed it in the trash.

“Ace, can we start over?”

Lucy hopped down from the table and pulled up her panties. Then she walked over to Ace who was buttoning up his pants.

“I think we just did.”

Lucy kissed Ace and then she grabbed a towel and started cleaning up the whipped cream off of the table and floor.

“I’m going to take out the trash before your dad comes home and sees a condom in it.”

“My dad loves you, in fact I would bet he set us up tonight.”

“He might love me but I’m not sure how I’m going to look him in the face tomorrow at work, knowing that I had his daughter on his kitchen table.” Ace winked and walked out the back door with the trash.

Lucy continued cleaning up. Ace walked back in and kissed Lucy, then he headed over to the sink to wash his hands. As he reached to shut off the water he saw a very large, shiny diamond ring. He picked it up and walked over to Lucy.

“Is this yours?”

Lucy turned around to see what Ace was talking about, when she did the smile she had on her face faded away. She just stared at him.

“Answer me, Lucy!”

“Yes, but…”

“But, but what? I can’t believe this. I thought…”

“Ace, please let me explain.”

Ace handed the ring to Lucy and walked over to the table and grabbed his wallet and stuffed it back in his pocket. Lucy grabbed him by the elbow.

“Don’t leave, please, please, let me explain.”

Ace refused to turn around and talk to Lucy.

“I’m leaving now. Goodbye, Lucy.”

Ace walked out the door. Lucy sat down and burst into tears. She went from one of the happiest moments of her life, to one of the saddest in a matter of minutes.

Ace arrived at the Underground to find Chace and Declan sitting at the bar drinking.

“Hey guys.”

“Ace, what’s up?”

“I’m fucking stupid is what, Chace.”

Jenna walked over smiling.

“Hey, Ace. What’s your poison?”

“Bring me a bottle of Jack and a glass.”

Jenna brought back the bottle and a glass. She poured Ace a drink and then she winked at Declan and walked away.

“Dec, you fucked her too? You dog.”

“Damn, Dec.”

Declan finally turned towards Ace. Ace saw his black eye.

“Dec, who gave you that shiner?”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

Chace got up to go to the bathroom. On his way he found himself checking out a beautiful blonde with the most mouthwatering ass.

“So Dec, you going to talk or what?”

“Shane’s the one who gave me the black eye.”

“Were you helping him train for the big fight tomorrow?”

“The big fight was today in my office.”

“Shit Dec, what happened?”

“Your turn. How’d you get that knot on your head?”

“Lucy and I don’t want to talk about her, ever again.”

Ace got up and walked out. On his way, he passed Chace who was coming back from the bathroom.

“You leaving?”

“I’m going to go sleep on the couch in my office. I drank way too much to drive.”

“Hey Cutie, want to have a drink with my friend and I?”

“I think I already had too much, but thank you.”

“Just one teeny, tiny drinkie? Your friend can come too.”

Before Ace got to open his mouth Chace replied, “Sure, we’d love too.”

“We would, Chace?”

“We’ll be right over, Darling.”

“Ok.”

The girl walked back over to her friend. Ace started walking in the opposite direction. Chace grabbed his arm.

“C’mon, one drink…please? I’ve been watching her friend and I so would love to tap that.”

“One drink, Chace, one drink.”

“Thanks, man.”

Ace and Chace walked over to the girls. They both turned around and Chace almost passed out. The girl he was fantasizing about for the last ten minutes was Little Miss Sunshine.

“Ace, I got to go.”

Ace grabbed him by the collar, “Oh no, no you don’t.”

Chloe just stood there. She didn’t speak a word. Her friend Taryn walked over to Ace and kissed him. Then she started rubbing his cock. Ace drank so much he didn’t think it was possible to get hard but damn that cock of his was like a rock.

“I’m Taryn, by the way.”

“I’m, Ace. You want to go somewhere and fuck?”

“Hell, I’d fuck you anywhere.”

Ace took Taryn by the hand and headed to his office.

Chace and Chloe were still in the midst of their staring contest when Declan walked over.

“Well now I know why you never came back.”

“Ace dragged me over here and then took off with some girl.”

Declan looked at Chloe and smiled. She smiled back.

“Hey, I’m Declan. This is my partner Chace.”

“I’m Chloe. So you’re a detective too?”

Declan looked at Chace who was still not speaking.

“No, I meant business partner. We own this club.”

Chloe’s eye widened. “Wow.”

“Yeah, so can we buy you a drink?”

“I can’t stay, Dec. I have someone waiting for me in the parking lot.”

“Ok, your loss. I will get to have Chloe all to myself.

Chloe smiled at Declan but her then her eyes strayed over to Chace.

“I will see you tomorrow, Dec.”

Chace walked off. Declan grabbed two drinks off of a tray the waitress was carrying around, then went and sat down with Chloe.

A
CE WOKE UP ON
the couch with Taryn in his arms, a hangover, a stiff neck and Lucy on his mind. Taryn looked up at him.

“Good morning.”

“Hey.”

Taryn stood up and started getting dressed.

“Are you in a hurry to go?”

“No, but I know how these one night things go. Typically, once everyone is awake, it’s time to get dressed and leave.”

“I could buy you breakfast?”

“Maybe you should find Lucy and buy her breakfast.”

“Lucy? What did I say about Lucy?”

“Oh boy, I guess you were drunker than I thought. No wonder you had sex with me.”

Ace stood up and walked over to Taryn and took her hand.

“I may have been drunk and for that I apologize but I knew what I was doing and I remember that evil thing you did with your tongue. I’m sorry if I mentioned Lucy.”

“You kept mumbling her name in your sleep.”

“Guess I was having nightmares then.”

“Is Lucy an ex?”

“Lucy is just someone who, who I don’t want to talk about.”

Ace stretched his neck. Taryn lifted up her hand and started to rub his neck.

“Stiff neck?”

“Yeah.”

“Come over here and lie down. You’re in luck, I’m a massage therapist.”

“You’re going to give me a massage?”

“Well it would be better if I had my table but I can make do.”

“Do you offer a special finish?”

“I think that can be arranged.”

“Only if you let me buy you breakfast afterward.”

“Deal.”
