Ace of Spades (Underground Affair Series Book 1) (8 page)

Lucy looked at Tom and then down at the ring. She was going to tell Tom that she needed more time but after seeing the smile he had plastered across his face, she just couldn’t. She decided maybe it was meant to be.

Ace and Jorge were doing maintenance reports while the rest of the guys were cleaning up the truck and refilling air bottles.

“Jorge, do you ever find yourself thinking about something and no matter how hard you try not to, you just can’t think of anything else?”

“You are talking about Lucy?”

“Forget I asked.”

“Ace, the Chief likes you. Why are you so uptight?”

“Like I told you before, even if I was talking about Lucy, it wouldn’t matter because I’m not her type.”

“What makes you think that Ace? From what I saw, my Lucy is quite smitten with you.”

“Chief, I didn’t see you standing there.”

“I’m actually here to ask if you had some time to come by the house tonight?”

“Sure, Chief.”

“Oh and by the way, I’ve never seen Lucy look at Tom the way she looks at you.”

The Chief winked and walked out.

“Maybe you’ll get to see your girl tonight?”

“Knock it off. She’s not my girl.”

“Why don’t you just go on a date with her and see what happens?”

“She’s with some other guy who wants to marry her.”

“Wants to?”

“Yeah, I guess he asked but she hasn’t accepted yet.”

Jorge stood up and patted Ace on the shoulder.

“Then you still have time to ask her on a date.”

Ace shook his head. Jorge was going to keep riding him about this. He picked up his pen and continued to fill out his reports. Jorge walked out.

Chace and Kyle were getting coffee. Kyle ordered the coffee and Chace walked over to grab a few bottles of water for them. He reached down to grab the last bottle of water but another hand grabbed it faster. He looked up and saw Little Miss Sunshine smirking up at him. He quickly imagined grabbing her by the throat and choking her; instead he stepped back and started over towards Kyle.

“Detective.”

Chace turned around.

“Yes.”

Chloe tossed the water to him and winked.

“I only grabbed it because you wanted it. I was actually going to grab a chocolate milk.”

Chloe turned around and walked away. Chace stood there watching her. When she headed back towards him he stepped in her path.

“What the hell is your problem?”

Chloe looked up at Chace who towered over her and smiled as she said, “You.”

Chace growled through gritted teeth, “Me?”

“Look Detective, I have work to do, so either say what’s on your mind or get the hell out of my way.”

“Chace, let’s go; we have a call.”

Chace didn’t say a word he just walked out. Chloe did spend a few moments admiring his ass as he walked out the door.

Declan couldn’t concentrate. He was so angry with Shane. After all they had been through together, to think Shane would side with Robert. He finished his drink and then slammed his glass down on the bar.

“Want to talk about it?”

Declan looked over at Jenna. She was one of his best bartenders and boy was she hot.

“Talking isn’t what I need right now.”

Jenna walked up to Declan and stood at his side.

“Will this help, Boss?”

Jenna reached for Declan’s belt buckle and opened it and then his pants. Declan looked down at

her as she pulled his cock out and then sucked it down her throat. Declan leaned his head back

and groaned, “Oh God, Jenna.”

Jenna batted her eyes at him and then doubled her efforts.

“Bring those lips up here baby.”

Jenna pulled away and began to stand up. Declan grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. He reached his hand up her skirt, pushed her damp panties to the side and then he impaled her with his cock. When they were finished, Declan removed her from his lap and righted her panties.

“Jenna…”

“Don’t worry, I don’t expect anything…”

“I don’t know what to say. I don’t make a habit of…”

“It’s ok. Really, I’ve wanted to do that since the first time I met you.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t look so shocked. You’re fucking hot. All of us girls want a chance to fuck you, some of the guys too.”

Declan just stared at Jenna for a minute. Then he shook his head and walked away. He had no idea how to respond to that.

“Mom, Dad, anybody home?”

Lucy looked around and couldn’t find anyone at home. She walked into the kitchen to grab a drink while she waited for them to get home. As she pulled the refrigerator door open she saw a note on the freezer door.

Lucy,

Dinner is in the oven. Dad and I had to run out.

Start without us. We shouldn’t be too late.

Love,

Mom

Lucy grabbed a bottle of water and then peeked in the oven to see what was cooking. Her mother made lasagna again, yum, one of her favorites. She decided she would make a salad to go with dinner and then she would do some reading while she waited for them to come home. She wasn’t sure how she was going to tell them about her engagement. She knew that as much as they wanted her to be married with children that Tom was not their favorite person.

Robert was on the phone when Shane came in. After hearing the door, he hung up.

“Robert, you here?”

“I’m in the bedroom.”

Shane walked in and Robert took one look at him and knew Shane was upset.

“Shane, what’s wrong?”

“I had it out with Declan today.”

“Did he deny threatening me?”

“No.”

Robert was surprised that Declan didn’t lie to Shane and try to turn Shane against him. He wondered what game Declan was playing now. He walked over to Shane and hugged him.

“I love you, Shane.”

Shane turned his head and kissed Robert. Robert started rubbing Shane’s cock. Shane backed away.

“I’ve got to change and head back to the gym.”

“Want some company?”

“No. I need some time alone.”

Robert was annoyed that Shane was so upset over fucking Declan. He didn’t like that Shane was distracted. He needed him to win his fight. Robert had a lot riding on this win.

Ace knocked on the door and there was no answer. He tried the knob and the door opened so he walked in. The kitchen smelled so good. He walked down the hall towards the Chief’s office. He figured he was in there waiting for him. He opened the door to find nobody there. He decided to text him and see where he was.

Ace: Chief, I’m here at the house. Where are you?

Chief Jenkins: I had to run out with my wife, be back in a few hours. Sorry son. Dinner is in the oven, help yourself.

Ace: No problem. Tell your wife, it smells delicious.

Chief Jenkins: She said to enjoy it.

Ace: Thanks. See you when you get here.

Ace placed his phone in his pocket and headed down the hall. As he reached the living room he was hit in the head and then had his feet kicked out from under him. When he hit the floor he looked up. Lucy was hovering over him.

“ACE!”

Ace just blinked up at her. He was still a bit dazed.

“Damn, woman.”

“I’m so sorry, I thought you were an intruder.”

“You should keep the door locked.”

Ace started to get up.

“Let me help you up.”

“I’m fine.”

Ace started to get up and Lucy leaned forward to grab his arm and they banged heads, literally. Lucy dropped to the floor as well. Now they were both down on the floor.

Ace rolled onto his side and Lucy’s face was right there. He couldn’t resist, he reached his hand up and brushed her hair away from her face. Lucy smiled and he melted. Without another thought he kissed Lucy and in seconds they were rolling on the floor kissing and grinding against one another. The timer on the oven buzzed. Ace pulled back.

“We had better check the oven, we wouldn’t want to start a fire.”
