Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 66

Everyone in Robbie's life knew about us. The need to let them know about our less than perfect love life, was because of our love for each other.

It was surprising how they knew about Robbie 'pining' after me for so long that they were worried about his 'dick' falling off.

Yeah, they were crude!

Robbie had called me at noon to ask if I could join the dinner treat he was giving his friends. Apparently they deserved one for handling him when he was running after me.

I agreed, of course.

I had to call Nick to babysit our girl, because his friends needed the expensive alcoholic drinks in their menu.

I missed Jason so much. He was over working himself and not coping with the absence of our mom. Gabe regularly updated me of his hard work and we both agreed that he needed to rest but what could we do? I talked to Robbie about that but he told me to give him space for the time being.

'About time' was all Jason told me when I informed him of my first 'I love you', then the pain in my nose threw 'told you so' several times throughout my story. But Jason was right. He had been telling me about coming out clean to Robbie since our grad days.

I was scared, okay? It was all Robbie's fault.

Sigh!

Nick did agree to babysit if my baby stopped called him Nikki. When I said we could settle on 'Domy' he came here without too much fuss. He needed my salmon and asparagus as a payment though.

I really outdid myself in my attire with 'Egyptian eye makeup'. This was our first outing as a couple and I wanted his friends to think that I was someone beautiful and worthy to be Robert Brantley's lover. I was nervous.

I knew two of his friends' girlfriends were models who worked with Storm and Ford. I did not want to come off as inadequate among them. But Nick said he prayed that Robert at least waited to come home, before going possessive husband on me.

Yeah, he used the word 'husband' and it made me all tingly.

Lia needed some love before I could leave and she made me promise to bring her chocolate cake. I had already made Lia and Nick their dinner. So, they were all set before the Limo, Robbie had sent me, arrived.

The way the driver stood speechless for a couple of minutes did boost my confidence. He opened my door after showing his ID card. I texted Robbie about his arrival and we were off to La Grande. I was really nervous, what if they did not find me suitable for him? They had visited our home but then we were not introduced as a couple. It would be fine, because Robbie would never bring me to a situation which would be uncomfortable for me.

Daddy, I am nervous.

Just bring that pretty ass here.

So romantic. I rolled my eyes, but ironically it put me in calmer mood.

The driver opened my door for me and even gave me his elbow for me to hold. I giggled because I was no woman but he must have thought I was delicate enough to be handed like a porcelain doll. He handed me over to Ma?tre D' who welcomed me with a happy grin.

"As handsome as ever, Mr. Truscott."

"And you are as charming as ever, Mr. Caswell."

The older man blushed and waved off the waitress who came in with reservation charts. "Would you love to be seated near the gardens, Mr. Truscott? Will your brother be joining you?"

"Not today, I am actually in company of Robert Brantley. Would you please take me to their seating?"

"It would be my pleasure, Young Sir." The gentleman politely informed me of all the new renovations they had done in the past months. "Mr. Brantley is coming for you, Mr. Truscott"

I saw my man walking towards me; his eyes fixed firmly on my eyes and I swooned. He looked... so handsome. He was wearing another outfit; not the one he wore in the morning. I knew this would suit him quite well. He took it to his office as his emergency suit because I was bugging him to wear it.

God, he was so handsome and charming and... devilish.

He smirked, noticing my dumbstruck look. I barely acknowledged Mr. Caswell leaving us.

"Hey, Beautiful." He pecked my cheek.

The most handsome man I had ever seen stood right next to me. His posture bent forward so I could properly gaze into the steel grey eyes that made my head swim.

"H... Hey."

He leaned down to kiss my lips and I put my index finger on them to stop him. "I can literally feel gazes on my back. At least wait till we get home."

His hand snaked around my waist. "Why would I? You are mine."

I leaned up on my tippy toes and kissed his lips gently. "You will ruin my make up."

"I will. You are right, I can wait. Shall we meet that nuisances?"

"Daddy!" I pinched his exposed hand. He had rolled up his sleeves and damn it was so hot. I clutched on his elbow, plastering half of my body to his. "Were you waiting for long?"

"A bit, yes. I knew you would be late to get ready, so I arranged the Limo that way."

"I am not that bad."

"Anything you say, love."

His friends were seated around a beautiful well set dining table with C shaped sofas on either sides. Their friends were really welcoming and did they tease us relentlessly. They were not mean but the innuendoes were embarrassing. As expected the models were there but I was surprised at how down to earth they were. The only real model I knew was Gabe and he did not count. All the others I had seen came off as stuck up people.

But they loved my eye make-up and did not believe when I said I did it myself. The good natured disbelief; they were not demeaning me.

"You can tell us the truth, David. Are you chained with time bombs? There is no way you want this idiot right here."

Robbie growled and yanked me closer. "Fuck off!"

"David, you have everything and but I did not know you were blind."

"Well you don't have to see to feel it, right, Bran?" Ben punched his shoulder.

"Damn right." My man shamelessly patted his thighs and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Robbie, please stop."

"Awww!!! Don't act so innocent, David, we saw a little... Mmmm... uuhh uuhhh..." Aaron made moaning noises of kissing and I blushed bright red and everyone laughed.

"You saw nothing."

"Oh, I saw just the thing, but I was expecting you to kick his balls but... now I know why you did not." Aaron winked at us and raised his glass. "For our mofo who finally did something right and got the kid he is going to jail for."

"I am not a kid, thank you very much, Aaron."

"Potato, potato, 'kid'."

"You will know about that. Your girlfriend is older than you, 'kid'." I threw back.

Aaron coughed on his sip of drink and everyone laughed.

"Damn... He got claws." Matthew and I clinked our glasses together.

"He does." Robbie kissed my forehead.

"Do it!" Chance challenged Robbie and I frowned.

"He is mine." Robbie shrugged.

"Prove it or it is bluff."

Everyone started chanting 'do it'.

"Do whaaa..."

Robbie took my juice glass off me, curled around, squeezed my cheeks to open my mouth and... thrusted his tongue inside. I was supposed to push him away because we were in public but my man knew his kisses were my weakness. My finger crawled up his head and I kneaded, making him moan which in turn made me moan... and I forgot about our audience.

I tapped out, when it became too hot and heavy, because I needed to breath. All my senses rushed back to me and I pushed the bastard off, covering my face.

I could not believe he... we did that!

"Awww... we got a shy one right here guys, like we don't know that he was all 'give me more, stud, ah... yeah... yeah oh god! ah... ah...'." Someone commented and I wanted to kill him, then Robbie and finally myself.

It was so embarrassing.

"Here!" Ben handed me a plate and I frowned. "To..." He motioned me to smack Robbie's head with it and I giggled.

"Don't tempt him. He will." Robbie licked his lips and wiped it the back of his hand before pulling me closer.

"From the look of Bran's face, it has happened before." Blair, Keith's girlfriend who was a Storm model giggled.

They all looked at Robbie and their mouths dropped. "It has happened!" They yelled together and I groaned embarrassed again, hiding behind Robbie's shoulder.

"Tell us. Tell us. Tell us!"

Never in my life had I been put through these kind of teasing before. Hell, never was I teased before. This was embarrassing and tingling and... I had no idea how to handle it though I was smiling behind Robbie's armpit.

"Well, it feels like a very long time ago but my Kitten was so angry at me and did not appreciate my touching his a..."

I squeaked and tried to cover my shameless bastard's mouth but he immobilised me by taking both of my wrists in one hand and put his other hand on my butt from behind. I could not believe him!

"Where? Where did you touch?" Matthew asked in sing song voice.

"Right where I am touching him now..."

"Oooohhh... We have a groper! Yay!" They hooted.

"I can't believe you, As... Robert Brantley. You promised me we would not talk about that ever again. Remember? Remember?" I squirmed in his hands but he laughed.

"Then he..."

"ROBBIE!"

"Kiss me and I will stop."

"No!" He had already stolen one and it got too intense.

"Fine, so I was between his..."

"I will kiss you... I will kiss you... Please, stop."

He did not let go of my hands and leaned to me with his overly puckered lips for me to kiss. God! He was embarrassing.

I kissed his nose and he scowled. "That was not where I wanted the kiss."

"Allow me, David." Andrea, girlfriend of Matthew, cleared her throat. "Since you did not specify, prior to the action where the kiss was needed to be placed, there is no reason for David to kiss where you want it because he does not give a sheeeeeeet!"

She made a good choice to learn law. I could not help giggling and my man almost pulled me to his lap and I let him.

He was right though. I had smacked him with a plate once. He had thought it would be cute to chase me to an empty warehouse he had bought, to... to... mate, I had no other word to describe what he wanted. I was still fighting all the attraction I had for him and when I had no other way to escape, I found a plate looking thing near me and...

... I smacked him on the forehead.

The bottom of it had little spikes and it scratched him... God! I got so scared when he clutched the minor injury.

To my utter embarrassment I started crying. Then everything was hectic with him trying to undress me and I trying to look at the scratch... crying.

He finally found pity in my worrying and took me to his car promising me that he was fine. But... I was not; I cried and cried and cried... while he tried very hard not to laugh out loud and allowed me to take him to hospital to take a tetanus shot... where I was the one who held his hand and cried...

The nurse said we were cute together.

Then I let him drag me to his penthouse, where I cried some more.

That was the day he guilt tripped me to give him a BJ. Uggghh! My first BJ was filled with both kinds of tears.

But he wanted nothing else and I was dying out of pain of hurting him. I did not want him to touch me perhaps, but I never wanted to hurt him. All my angry 'protests' had its limits. To save my life, I could never think of really hurting him.

That must have been the first clue that should have opened my eyes there was no way I could not let him... touch me.

Well after the BJ he did pull me to his bed and...

"Definitely a story there."

I jumped away embarrassed, out of memory lane, because I was drawing on Robbie's thighs as he was peppering my head with kisses.

"We have no idea what you guys are talking about. Right Angel?"

"Yes, Daddy." I giggled and his friends started making fun of us again for calling him Daddy. They did not believe when I said it was not in a kinky way. I started that to reinforce Lia to call him Daddy. But when I noticed Robbie would preen when I call him that, I just... kept on doing it.

"Try it in the bedroom. You know, to spice somethings up." Ben winked at me.

"It is already so spicy and hot, it makes my tongue burn, Benny." Robbie boasted and I swatted his smug face away from mine. "Sooo damn hot."

Ugggh!

That was how all the dinner went.

"Let us go home, Robbie." I whispered. He checked the time and agreed with me that it was getting late.

"Guys, we have to go. Fuck off."

This man!

"Thanks guys, for being supportive. You know how Robbie can get when things are not going his way." It was so refreshing to see his friends taking care of my man. He might not see them as friends, but they were.

"Hear, hear. To the difficult man of this century- Robert Brantley."

"I toast to the man who willingly jumped into an active volcano. David! Everyone!"

I groaned as they took turns throwing shade on us but Andrea really wished us good luck. "We know Bran was going crazy and I don't know what made you give him a chance, but... we are happy. The situation is not perfect but I think you will come out of it. My father is a lawyer but I would never recommend him to my dying enemy, if I can help it." The table fell silent and Matthew hugged her before pulling her to his lap.

"You are not like him, Loony." She smiled and waved his sweet words off, but I could see she loved him consoling her.

"Thanks. I just hope Robbie won't kill anyone in the meantime." Everyone laughed and I kissed my man on his cheek.

"No promises, Angel."
