17. EMMA
Chapter seventeen
EMMA
I wait for Ace in our room while he discusses the change in our course of direction.
I know he's furious with me, but he also understands, he understands that this was something that had to be kept to myself for my safety.
His family too has a Key to their empire, each Mafia Family does, or something with the power typically.
My Grandfather gave me the Medallion before he passed.
He told me to keep it far away from my father, and that no matter what I chose, what life I wanted, I needed to always hold the key.
And to always keep it within my heart, and to pass down to my child, never telling the father.
If I chose to walk away, Ryan would have been able to claim my empire and I would have passed it onto him.
Of course, when I felt the time was right and I was safe.
I explained this to Ace, which made him realize why I did what I did.
But what I am puzzled about is why is my father snooping around in Maine.
Is this a coincidence? Fuck No, I know all to well he has found out something, and when he realized the Medallion was gone.
He went rampant and somehow has found out something.
But even if he finds the house, the Medallion is in a very undisclosed safe place, and Ace soon will realize how powerful, how deep my roots into the Mafia truly are.
A life I never wanted, but I know it, I live it, and I can beat it.
I hear the door open, then shut as I look up to Ace as I sit in the chair by the window, watching him walk to the chair across from me, he sits down, looking up to me. “Duke is changing route to the nearest port, then we will take a jet to Maine.”
I ask. “Can I have my computer, or a computer?”
Ace cocks a questioning brow. “For what?”
“I'm trying to tell you what you need to know. Quit with your fucking controlling shit. I want to show you something.” I get it, I do, he's mad, fuck I know, but I'm telling him everything, and this is important.
He stands and walks to the bookshelf, moving a book, making me think back to when Ryan did the same in his office, a Collins thing.
He pulls open a safe door then pulls a laptop out, along with my cell phone, and my gun. Mhmm that's where my shit is.
He walks back over and sets all my stuff down in front of me, then sits back down. He nods towards my stuff and says. “There's your shit, now show me.”
My lip curls, and I'm sorry, but I can't hold my tongue on this, not with his tone.
“Quit being a fucking dick, Ace. Are you willing to open up and tell me where your key to your empire is secretly hiding?” My eyes burn into his with my stare as I clench my teeth, and he drops his gaze before he says.
“Alright, show me what you want to show me.”
“That's what I fucking thought.” I snatch the laptop off the table, grabbing my gun and stuffing it beside me and my phone on the other side. I open the laptop and my fingers get to work.
ACE
My vision is blurred with red hot rage, about to crawl out of my own fucking skin, stuck on this boat, unable to get to this safe house before Charles.
This could ruin every fucking thing. I get why she kept this from me, I won't tell her where the Collins Key is, and she is taking a huge risk telling me.
But I am not that Man, I will not take what is her's.
At least I won't forever. But when I get my hands on that Medallion, it will disappear again.
I won't let someone get their hands on it.
She will know where and I will not keep it from her, she is trusting me with something that could get her killed, and I respect her for that.
My problem is not her keeping it from me, it is the fact this was not found by my team when they looked into her, a detail that has been missed that could’ve cost me, and I want to know why.
How does Charles know? What does he know? No matter what, I need her to give me every detail and I do realize I am pushing a button with her that I need to stop pressing.
Watching her little fingers tap across the keyboard in a pace I can't even see what is happening, but the intense focus in her stare on the screen as she chews on her lip, causes me to smirk.
Impressed as fuck with her right now. If she has hid this so well, I'm interested to see what else she has up her sleeve.
EMMA
I pull up the maps in the area of my safe house, a very secluded cabin in the woods.
Zooming in, taking in a deep breath letting it out with a sigh as I find the secret house, then look up to Ace.
“This is a map of the area, and this is my safe house.” I turn the screen towards Ace and point, then proceed to tell him everything.
“Alright, so right here, is the house, there is no driveway to it, no roads. The main road is here.” I show him where the main road is, which gives me four different ways of getting to the cabin, and I point them all out.
“Now this entrance is the special one and the way we need to go.”
Ace snaps his eyes up meeting mine. “And why is that?”
“I'll show you that when I get there.” I smirk.
“Emma…” He growls.
I shake my head as my lips go into a straight line, before I say. “I just told you all the ways of getting to the cabin and the one that's most important. When we get there, I will show you, you have to trust me, for me to trust you, Ace.”
He searches my eyes before he nods. “You've broken my trust once, don't break it, again Baby Girl, or you will hate me and I will walk away from you with everything.” His words are like venom spreading through my veins as I swallow the lump in my throat.
Turning the screen back to me, as I go back to work, getting into my security system there, to also show Ace.
It takes work to get into my security system, but once I do, I run through the cameras and nothing is touched, no sign of activity.
I turn the screen and show Ace. “These are the camera's on the site, you can scan through them and get a feel for the layout if you would like.” I search his eyes.
“I know you're angry, but I am telling you everything besides one thing, and you will find out where it is when my hands are on it and you need to respect that.” I shove the computer towards Ace before I stand from my chair, heading for the door to get some air and away from Ace.
“Where the fuck are you going?” He asks in a growl and I spin around. “To give you space until you know how to talk to me.” And I walk out the door, slamming it behind me.
I walk down the deck to the back of the yacht, resting my elbows to the railing as I lean over, enjoying the cool fresh breeze blowing against my skin, cooling the heat inside me.
I've trusted Ace enough to tell him everything but one, and that is the exact location of the Medallion and that I will not tell him.
I know I broke his trust with my racing shit, but this is way bigger than me sneaking off to race a fucking car.
And Pop always told me to never trust anyone with this information.
I've said it before, I may not know everything about the Mafia world, the bad side to it, the fighting side, the side Ace knows, but, I'm smart and I've learned a lot of the business, secretive, technical shit.
I hear heavy footsteps getting closer causing me to look over my shoulder, seeing Ace walking towards me.
I turn my head back around as he steps up behind me.
His hand snakes around my front, flattening his hand against my stomach, pulling me back against him as he towers over me.
“I'm not angry with you.” He presses his lips to my cheek then whispers against my skin sending a shiver down my spine.
“I don't like how you've outsmarted me and I'm not in control.” I smile as he dips his head to my neck before he nips my skin between his teeth.
“You are still very much in control Ace.” My words come out in a whisper before I turn and look up to him. Meeting those blues as they bore into my eyes, my hands trail up his chest as he snakes his arms around me. “One day you will realize I'm not who you think I am, Ace.”
“Oh I know. I have already realized that, but I want to know who taught you this tech shit.”
Giving him a playful smirk, my words come out mischievous. “I can't tell you all my secrets now.” He lifts a brow and I snort a laugh before I say. “I'm just kidding. Zee taught me everything.”
A sound rumbles from Ace's chest. Not sure if it was a growl, a chuckle, both, I don't know, but his words come out deep. “I should have known. You two are close, aren't you?”
I nod. “Yes, he's always been there for me, but it's not what you think. I'm not Zee's type. He's a great friend that has helped me a lot, but that's all we are.”
Ace nods before he says. “We only have a few hours until we port, you should try to get some sleep.”
I laugh. “Yeah, that's not happening, my mind is too busy and antsy to relax.” The look in his eyes changes to a deep desire, causing me to bite my lip with my smile. I get up on my tip toes, whispering in his ear. “Take my mind off it?”
Ace growls, pressing me against the railing, his hand wraps around my neck and pulls my lips to his. I moan against his lips as my fingers curl around the hem of his suit jacket, pulling him tighter against me.
He hooks his arm around my waist, and lifts me as he walks to the cushioned couch beside us before he sits down, with me on his lap straddling him, never parting our lips.
My hands slide up his chest, to his neck, over his shoulders as I rock my hips into him.
Goosebumps prickle my skin as his hand trails up my thigh, closer to my pussy.
He doesn't mess around, he pulls my panties to the side before two fingers slide between my slick folds, over my clit causing me to rock my hips against him.
My eyes flutter, his touch arousing me in ways only he has been able to do. .. and god does it feel good.
His fingers slide inside me, before sliding out, and back in again, deep as they brush against my walls. His thumb finds my clit and starts working slow circles as my hips buck and I start riding his fucking hand. “Fuck Ace.” I moan.
He lays me down on the couch as he whispers. “I need to taste my pussy, Baby Girl.” He rips my panties off and pushes my dress up. He settles between my legs, spreading my legs wide, a look of hungry desire sweeps across his face. “Your pussy is fucking perfect, so fucking perfect.”
His tongue darts out, lapping up between my folds, his eyes still locked on mine, a smirk playing on my lips with this darkened desire that fills those icy blues.
His tongue flicks at my clit several times causing me to buck against him before he sucks down hard causing me to tense up.
My hand grips the hair on his head as he devours my pussy with his tongue, sucking down on my clit, before two fingers slide inside my walls, scissoring inside me .
His tongue continues to flick at my clit as his fingers work inside me, bringing me to the peak of my climax, ready to let go. I clamp around his fingers and he picks up his speed before he says. “Hold on Baby Girl, not yet.”
“What?” My question is asked in a pain whisper before he spits, causing more wetness between my legs.
He slides his fingers from inside me then trails them up and down between my folds.
As he goes back down, he trails lower over my puckered hole, before he circles my ass with his fingers.
His thumb works circles over my clit as his two fingers work circles over my hole, my breath catches in my throat with this new sensation that is coating my insides.
“You like that don't you, Baby Girl?”
“Yes.” I stutter.
His hand disappears and is replaced with his tongue as he slides it between my lips again, then down, flicking over my ass hole, sending a shiver straight up my spine. He plunges deep inside me as the tip of his finger presses against my ass, he whispers against my pussy. “Relax, Baby Girl.”
And I do as his tongue goes back to work. Flicking at my clit before plunging inside me, dominating my pussy with his mouth bringing me to the edge once more, his finger presses inside my ass.
Sending me completely over the edge, the new sensation of his finger inside my puckered hole, his tongue devouring my pussy, I can't take it anymore and my back arches as I come completely undone.
. The moan hums in my chest as my fingers intertwine in his hair while my orgasm shatters me.
Holding on while the wave passes but he only brings another wave to crash over me, over and over.
Squirming because the sensation that is electrifying my body is all too much but fuck does it feel amazing.
I feel the pressure release as Ace pulls his finger from my backside.
He slides up between my legs, pulling at his pants.
“You are so fucking sexy when you cum, baby.” His lips devour mine and I wrap my arms around his torso, pulling him down on me, tasting myself all over his lips, feeling the tip of his cock press against my dripping pussy.
He rocks his hips into me and his cock slides inside me, filling me as he buries every inch of himself deep within my walls, before pulling out and repeating that. ..
“So... fucking... tight…” His words, pant from his mouth as he picks up his pace, sliding against all my walls, hitting every pleasurable spot that is already so, so sensitive.
His hand comes up and cups my tit before squeezing, his hips thrusting into me at a steady motion with force, ripping moan after fucking moan from my throat.
I lift my hips, allowing him to go deeper and he takes it as his thrusts get deep and harder, hitting that spot that makes me quiver. “Yes!”
Our bodies move together with Ace's now brutal thrusts and my pussy clamps down around him before my orgasm rips through me again.
A deep groan rockets from Ace's throat before he slams inside me one last time, spilling his hot cum deep inside me.
He collapses against my chest, nuzzling in the crease of my neck as his dick continues to pulse inside me.
He kisses my neck, before he pushes himself up. I follow and sit up. Slipping my panties back on before I stand, Ace's eyes locked on me the entire time as he adjusts his pants and shirt.
“We should change and get ready, once we dock we have to move quickly.”
“Okay.”
