Chapter 247: The Kiss

*****************

Chapter 247

~Ash’s POV~

Valerie looked between us once more. I could see the conflict in her eyes slowly melting into something softer, still hesitant, but no longer resistant.

When her gaze returned to Ace, it lingered. Her lips parted slightly as she studied his face.

Maybe she was searching for certainty, maybe reassurance. But all Ace gave her in return was raw truth.

Her arms lifted and wrapped gently around his neck.

She rose to her toes, slowly, like the moment itself needed care, but Ace was a gentleman to wrap his hand around her waist and steady her back down. Then he leaned in, his nose brushing against hers.

"I’ve dreamt about doing this like a million times and now..."

"Now, shut up and kiss me." Valerie shut him up, and that was when it happened.

Her lips met his, neither rushed nor forced. But with the careful weight of something long denied.

Ace let out a soft breath, like he’d been holding it for years, and brought his hands higher to her waist, pulling her in until their bodies aligned completely.

The kiss deepened softly at first, then built in emotion, in yearning. Ace’s fingers threaded through her hair as their mouths moved together, gently at first, then with more pressure as if they both needed the connection to anchor them.

Watching them was a strange kind of beautiful agony.

It didn’t make me jealous—not in the bitter way people might assume.

It made my heart throb because I felt every ounce of what she was pouring into that kiss... and what she was receiving from it.

And because through our bond, I also felt Ace’s overwhelming happiness, his silent desperation was finally soothed.

And I knew Valerie was slowly letting go of that fear.

She wasn’t broken, just cautious. Maybe because she felt she owed it to us, but here she was... choosing us.

When they finally parted, Valerie kept her eyes closed for a moment, like she was savouring the aftertaste of something far sweeter than anything she’d expected.

Her breath trembled out of her lips.

Ace touched his forehead to hers, whispering something I couldn’t hear—but whatever it was made her smile.

Then, slowly, she turned to face me.

Her lips were pink and kiss-bruised, her cheeks warm, and her eyes... goddess, her eyes were soft in a way I hadn’t seen before.

"You okay?" she asked me quietly.

I nodded. "Better than okay."

She stepped closer. I thought my heart would pound right out of my chest.

"Your turn?" she whispered.

I chuckled. "Only if you want to."

"I do."

She rose up again on instinct, this time, and I met her halfway. The moment our lips touched, the air shifted.

Her kiss was different with me—not more, not less, just... different.

With Ace, it was a need; with me, it felt like wonder as though she were discovering something new, something uncharted.

Her fingers brushed the side of my face, slipping into my hair as I cupped her jaw and pulled her in deeper. My entire body tingled with the contact, the fire, the pull.

And gods, did I melt. It was way better than whatever wet dream we were imagining. This was by far the softest, hottest, and best kiss I had ever had.

I let her take her time, let her explore and feel that I wasn’t just here—I was hers for the taking.

Ace stood close, one hand still gently caressing her back, grounding her between us.

It wasn’t just a kiss. It was a choice.

~Valerie’s POV~

"Valerie, you’re glowing," Jade’s voice rang in my head, practically squealing. "Oh my Goddess, it finally happened. You felt it! You connected with them! With all of them!"

With all of them?

I blinked, trying to process that. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
