Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 209

“This place looks even better than in the photos!” I exclaimed in pure delight the moment that I step foot out of the car.

We arrived at our destination around half an hour earlier than planned to due light traffic. That meant that I had more time to spend in this awesome place with Ace.

“The weather is nice too…” Ace said lazily as he got out of the car.

The staffs were already there to greet us and help us with our bags although we didn’t pack a lot of things for this trip. It was just for the weekend, and we were only staying for one night. I wished that we could take some leave days and extend our trip; however, I didn’t want to leave Jeremy to deal with all the work alone. Life at work was already tough and I didn’t dare let him shoulder my responsibilities on top of his own. Our trip was going to be short but that was all the more reason that I wanted to make the most of it.

“We can take your things to your room for you first in case you want to head straight to the beach…” the staff suggested as if he could read my mind.

“That would be perfect. Thank you so much for that. Let me grab some things first, though,” I replied before smiling politely at the staff.

“There are changing rooms on the beachfront and shower rooms as well,” the staff quickly informed me.

“Thank you. That’s perfect,” I thanked him.

Ace just looked around and it was a good change to see him so relaxed. He turned and offered me his hand when I was done grabbing the things that I thought we would need for our little trip down to the beach.

“Let’s go…” I said invitingly as I tugged on his hand.

I was so excited about this trip, and I couldn’t wait to chill by the beach. Ace laughed softly at my overly enthusiastic reaction as he let me drag him after me toward the beach. When we finally made it to the beach after a very short walk, I was amazed at how wonderfully beautiful and peaceful it was. Paying money to buy some privacy seemed to be very worth it. After the staff help us settle in, they would leave us alone at the private property and the private beach.

“The sand is really so fine…” I murmured as I slipped my foot out of my shoe to prod the sand with my toes.

“We should get changed,” Ace suggested.

I quickly nodded in agreement. Time to put my hard-earned money to good use. Although I didn’t have time to go out to shop, I did manage to order a few bikinis that were supposed to be in trend right now from an online store and got them delivered to my place. It was judgment time and I prayed that one of them would look decently enough for me to show Ace.

Although I’ve tried all of them on before to make sure that I got the size right, I never really settled on which one to wear. This red one looks very daring and sexy, but it might seem a little too forward and out there. I wasn’t sure if Ace would appreciate it or if he would think that was too much. This baby blue one with a flowery pattern didn’t look bad at all. I thought that it was rather cute with the only issue being that it made my breasts look kind of squished in a strange way. The last option was a white bikini that was showy with its V-neck and high-slit pair of thongs.

After staring at myself in the mirror for a while, I decided to go with the white one. It was the most standard one although it was showy. I guess the most important part was that it made me feel the most comfortable and confident. Hopefully, Ace would agree that that was enough to make it a good choice too.

“Ace…” I called his name softly as I approached him.

Ace had his back to be as he stood on the beach facing the seawater. He was probably admiring the beautiful view of the blue sky meeting the blue water. At the sound of me calling his name, Ace turned around to face me. I felt his eyes on my face before making their way down my body to take in the bikini that I had on, and my body tensed slightly at his gaze. Although I had picked his bikini to look sexy for him, I still felt nervous now that he was actually looking at me.

“Umm…” I murmured as I stared to blush and look away.

“You look great, Rina…” Ace complimented me directly.

“…Really?” I asked happily.

“Yup. Your boobs look great,” Ace confirmed.

“Umm…” I murmured without knowing how to respond to that.

I was glad that he thought I looked fine in my bikini, but I wasn’t sure how to react to him complimenting my womanly assets so straightforwardly. That didn’t seem to bother Ace at all. He turned chuckled amusedly as he turned to face the sea again before waving me over with the gesture of his hand for me to join him.

“Let’s sit here for a bit…” he said with a sigh as he sat down.

I sat down next to him, and his arm was automatically around my waist as he pulled my body closer to his. Now that I could see the view that he was admiring, I had no problem understanding why he wanted to sit here. The bright blue sky was really on our side and so was the clear blue water of the sea. The wind blew in from the sea and pushed my hair back behind my shoulders. I took in a deep breath to smell the scent of the salty seawater before letting out a long sigh.

That felt extremely calming. It was just what I needed.

“I’m starting to love it here already…” I admitted honestly.
