Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 251

“Ace…” I murmured his name before I found out that I didn’t quite know what to say to him.

“Stop frowning, Rina. You’ll get lines all over your beautiful face…” Ace reprimanded me half-jokingly.

I felt the warmth of his hand against the side of my face before his fingertips slid down to cup my chin and tip my head up slightly. His other hand approached my face and then I felt his fingers trying to stop the skin in between my brows from creasing. I didn’t know how to react to how seriously he seemed to be taking this.

“You know, if you seriously don’t want me to frown like this, then you should stop making me worry about you…” I muttered darkly.

“Well, since there’s not much that I can do about that, I’ll just help keep your brows away from each other…” Ace replied with a chuckle.

I didn’t quite think that it was funny but the atmosphere around us seemed to have lightened somewhat. Things were a far cry from being normal between us but it seemed like things may just work out in the end. At least, I wanted to allow myself to hope and have some optimism.

“I really hope that I can trust you, Ace…” I murmured softly as if I was just talking to myself.

Although I knew that he could hear me, Ace chose not to reply to my words. Instead, his lips slowly approached my face and then I could their familiar warmth softly against mine as he began kissing me gently. His kiss was so gentle that it left me feeling confused about how I should be feeling. It felt slightly strange for his kiss to be so undemanding, but I didn’t dislike it at all.

“Let’s take a bath together…” Ace invited me again.

I let him take my hand and lead me to the bathroom. For a moment, it felt like everything that took place at the party never happened and we were just a simple couple spending time with each other at home. The door of the bathroom closing behind us snapped me out of my thoughts and returned me back to reality. A small smile curved my lips when I realized that reality didn’t have to be so different from the dream world that I just saw in my mind.

“We should head to bed soon…” I murmured preemptively.

Ace began stripping off his clothes while I stood and watched a little shyly to the side. He probably knew why I said that because he laughed a little at me. When he was completely naked, he stepped towards me and soon his hands were undoing the zipper of my dress.

“Turn around…” he instructed.

I heard the zipper of the dress sliding down as Ace unzipped my dress. He did not waste much time in pulling it down my body until the whole dress pooled at my feet. Ace offered me a hand and I felt like a little princess as I stepped out of my dress and into his arms.

“Are you still mad?” he asked.
