Ace of Spades (Underground Affair Series Book 1) (3 page)

"Yes."

"Bitch, then why are you talking to me? Call me tomorrow and I want details."

"Good night."

Lucy hung up the phone and before she had a minute to think, Ace walked out of the kitchen and smiled.

"Everything alright?"

"Yes. My cousin was worried because I left and didn't tell her."

"Understandable."

"My name is Lucy, by the way."

Ace stood so his lips were almost touching Lucy's and he whispered, "I'm Ace, nice to meet you, Lucy."

Lucy smiled and then they kissed. Ace picked her up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. Lucy started to unbutton Ace's shirt while he held her. After he placed her down he unzipped her dress and then watched as it fell to the floor exposing Lucy’s beautiful body.

Lucy thought about running once her dress dropped to the floor. She suddenly felt very insecure about her body. Before she had time to run, Ace dropped to his knees and pulled down her panties, then nuzzled his face between her legs. He picked her up and laid her down on the bed and then continued to kiss her body while he plunged his fingers deep inside her.

Lucy reached down and grabbed Ace's cock and started to stroke it. It was so hard and bigger than Tom's. She started to get really excited.

"I want you, I want you now."

Ace looked up at Lucy and gave her a devilish grin. He stood up, stripped and grabbed a condom. Then he crawled back onto the bed and thrust himself inside her.

Ace tried to hold off as long as possible before he finally gave in and came. When he was finished he got up and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

Lucy laid there in the bed waiting for Ace to come back so she could say goodbye and leave.

Ace came out of the bathroom to find Lucy asleep. He climbed back into bed and covered them up and went to sleep.

UCY FELT ACE’S HAND
move from around her waist, causing her to wake up. She felt hungover and really didn’t want to move but she was so ashamed of herself. She couldn’t believe she actually went home with a stranger and a stripper no less. She pulled on her dress, then grabbed her bra and panties and shoved them into her purse. Just as she was about to walk out of the bedroom she realized that she needed to pay him for the night. Lucy had no idea what a stripper charged. She grabbed her phone and Googled nightly stripper fees. The fees ranged between twenty dollars and two thousand dollars. Lucy reached into her purse and she had two hundred and three dollars. She quickly tossed it down on the nightstand and left.

Ace woke up and reached out his hand but the bed was empty. He dreamt about having Lucy again before she left. Now she was gone and he never even got the chance to get her last name. Lucy was the first woman he had ever brought home from a strip show. It was almost like an unspoken rule to never bring a girl home from the strip club. Lucy, well Lucy rendered his mind useless once his dick took over. Ace finally decided to get his lazy ass up and get ready for work. He headed towards the bathroom but stopped when he saw a pile of crumpled up dollar bills on his nightstand. He grabbed the money and just looked at it, then he threw it at the floor and walked into the bathroom. He never felt as ashamed of himself or hurt than he did right now. He should have known someone like Lucy would never fall for a guy like him. All she saw was a stripper and a quick fuck. Hell she was probably married and cheating on her husband. Ace just shook his head and proceeded to shave and shower.

Lucy pulled her phone from her purse and called Mary.

“So did you do it? Did you spend the night? What’s his name? Is he hot?”

“Yes. Yes. Ace. Yes. Now will you…”

“Ace? Like as in the same Ace that gave me a lap dance?”

Lucy was so embarrassed. She wanted to lie and say no but seriously how many men were named Ace?

“Yes, one in the same.”

“Oh dear Lord, girl! Was he as hot in bed as he was on stage?”

“Mary, I’m really upset, can you just come and pick me up?”

“Oh Honey, where are you?”

“I’m up the street from his house at the corner of Vine Road and Clare Court.”

“I’m on my way.”

“Thanks.”

Ace was dressed and ready to leave for work. He went back into his bedroom for his phone and was reminded of Lucy when he stepped on the crumpled up dollar bills he had thrown all over the floor. He knelt down to pick them up. He didn’t want her money. After he grabbed them all up from the floor he grabbed an envelope from his desk and stuffed them inside. He would donate the money or something. There was no way he was keeping it.

UCY FELT BETTER AFTER
she talked to Mary on the ride home. Now she wasn’t sure how she would feel when she saw Tom. She decided not to tell him unless he asked. She opened the front door and Tom was standing at the top of the stairs looking down at her.

“Look who finally decided to come home.”

That did it. Lucy was instantly annoyed. First he tells her they should see other people and then he is angry that she didn’t come home.

“You’re the one who said we should see other people.”

“Lucy, are you telling me that you were with someone else all night?”

Lucy just continued up the stairs and walked past Tom. Tom turned and followed her into the bedroom.

“Answer me, Lucy!”

“Yes.”

Lucy took off her dress. Tom’s eyes opened wide and he gritted his teeth when he saw that Lucy didn’t have on a bra or panties.

“What the fuck Lucy! Did you leave your bra and panties as a souvenir?”

Lucy had her back turned towards Tom, thank goodness because she was smiling. Screw him, he was the one who wanted to see other people. She continued on into the bathroom and stepped into the shower. Moments later Tom was inside the shower with her.

“I…I changed my mind.”

Lucy looked up at Tom who didn’t look angry anymore…he looked scared, scared that he was going to lose her.

“Oh really, why is that?”

“I can’t lose you.”

“Tom, you’re the one who told me that we should see other people. I was the one who thought, well forget what I thought.”

“No Lucy, tell me.”

“When you said that you wanted to talk, I was expecting a proposal not…”

Tom grabbed Lucy and kissed her. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him and he slammed himself into her as he continued to kiss her until he needed to catch his breath.

“Lucy, marry me. I was wrong, I was scared. I love you.”

“But…”

“Whatever happened last night, it doesn’t matter.”

“I want you to marry me because I am the one for you. Not because you’re jealous or afraid you will lose me.”

“Lucy, I do love you. Yes, I was jealous as hell all night thinking about you being with someone else but, Lucy, I also realized that it’s you I want. I was a stupid fool to say what I said.”

“Oh Tom, I love you too.”

“So…is that a yes?”

“It’s a maybe.”

“I don’t understand?”

“Let’s just go back to how things were…before and make sure that’s what you really want.”

“It is…”

Before Tom could finish his sentence Lucy kissed him to end the conversation. She needed time to think and she wanted to give Tom time to rethink his sudden change of heart as well.

Ace walked into the station and his Chief called him into his office. He loved Chief Jenkins. Since his first day of work the Chief had always looked out for him and kept him under his wing. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for him.

“Hey Chief, what’s up?”

“I’m wondering if you can help me with something.”

“Sure.”

“It seems that I have been elected to Chair this year’s fundraiser and I’m looking for some help. I need someone I can trust to be my Co-Chair, so how ‘bout it?”

“You want me?”

“Well it is just the two of us here so I suppose you’ll do.” Chief Jenkins chuckled.

“Wow, what an honor. Yes, of course, I would love to help you out.”

“Good, then after shift you can come home with me and we can have dinner and get to work.”

“Alright.”

“Did you already have plans?”

“No, Sir.”
