Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 67

"There are people here."

"So what?" He kissed my neck from behind.

I giggled feeling ticklish. "I have to bake these."

"Let Windy do it." He bit my earlobe. I turned around in his hands. "No one will notice if we slipped out for a minute."

"A minute? Are you that bad Mr. Brantley?" I flirted back brushing my forefinger up and down his bicep.

He growled. "Bad... very... very bad."

"A glals of wata, pweaaaasseeeee." Lia came in running and I jumped away from his hands pretending to fold the cookie mixture while Robbie started pulling grapes from the stalks.

Windy came in running after her and bend over at my baby's words. "A glals... of water..."

Lia started giggling too. "Whaaaaa?"

Lia was all over the place. She was super excited with all the kids running around and playing. Windy was basically her chaperon but helped me with cooking too.

"I got her, Mr. Truscott." She wiped tears from her eyes still laughing. "Come on Miss. Princess. Let us get you a glals of wata!" Lia cackled and took off again and Windy ran off behind her, laughing.

"Thank God! Now, where were we?" Robbie tried to lean to me again and...

"David, more lemonade?" Sarah came in holding a big empty jug and I stifled a giggle at Robbie's annoyed face.

"There is some in the fridge but let me make some more."

"Na na. I got it. That is the least I could do." She took away the basket of filled with Lemonade supplies and went outside after taking a small knife.

Robbie again leaned to me and Melvin, Alice's boyfriend came in asking for extra pair of tongs.

Now my Big Baby really looked like he was going to blow up. He wanted some attention from me especially with Janice here, and the happy romantic couples surrounding us were putting him in very bad mood. He could not hold my hand or kiss me like every other person in our house. His last line was when Alice's brother came in with his long-time-boyfriend and his best friend who was also here with his husband and two kids.

They were always touching and holding hands. And the thought that he could not do it with me was bugging him to a point of explosion.

I put the cookie dough in the oven and giggled at his angry frown. He glared at me and I pressed my palm on my mouth; but Daddy it was so funny.

This really was getting to him and I felt bad.

Janice was still doing her makeup and I was thankful for that. Last night was an emotional roller coaster for us. Tris... Augustus came clean in front of me and then Janice arrived around 10 p.m and all the oscillations of emotions from good to bad, to good and back to bad again, tired us to the core. We had not seen much of Janice after breakfast.

When we heard, Allie- Alice's brother- come in, giggling at something his boyfriend had said before blushing and running off seeing us in the kitchen, Robbie angrily pushed away the grape bowl and stormed off to his office.

I smiled.

It showed how much he wanted to be with me and what he wanted from our relationship. If it was not for kids being present and would probably disrupt a good day for Lia, he would have just kissed me in front of all these people not caring about the havoc we would make.

I waited a few minutes before following him and saw him still angry sitting on his office chair, with eyes closed and lips thin with frustration.

"Hey, Daddy." I undid his crossed hands on his chest before straddling his lap. His eyes bore in to mine and his hand supported my butt, pulling me closer. "What got you all pouting?"

"I am not pouting." He glared.

"Then what is this?" I kissed his lips which were actually thinner.

He sighed. "Just annoying people doing annoying things."

"Like what?" I cradled his neck in my palms.

"Like things."

I shook my head. Robbie and his inability to open up. "Mmmm... don't leave me alone there. I get lonely." I pouted before licking his lips and kissing him. I wanted to kiss and hold his hands too. I just had better self-control than the big baby here. I whimpered into the kiss when his hands painfully squeezed my butt.

He knew how to lose my mind.

I quickly rubbed my pelvis onto his, just to feel that thickening marvellous rod that he hid in his shorts. His hand crawled inside my white T-shirt twisting my nipple and I moaned deepening the kiss.

"Peep... People outside, Daddy, we can't..." But I did not stop rubbing myself on him.

"I will be quick."

"But I won't." I stopped his hand before placing my head on his chest, breathless. "Lia will worry."

He was not happy with it.

"Cheer up. It is not like you are missing it too much."

"You are right. I can have you all the times I want."

"Mmm..." I agreed, cutely purring to him and he kissed me again, ravishing my lips. I was serious, we were animalistic last night and he was not that horny; just jealous that he could not be so open with me unlike all the couples here.

I joined our hands. "Come on. We are the hosts, remember?"

"I could not careless about..."

"But, I do. So suck it up."

"I would rather suck..."

"Robbie!" I squeaked and jumped away from his hand that was creeping down to my pants. "Bad Robbie... Bad!" I slapped his palm twice. "Bad!"

He growled and pulled me back to his lap. "What did I tell you about treating me like a dog?" He lewdly thrusted his pelvis to my butt.

I blinked, fake pouting. "That you will chain my neck and hook me to your bed and..." My hand climbed up his thigh. "... show me how a dog does it and... punish me?" I bit the tip of my forefinger of the other hand.

God, I was so good at scrambling his sanity.

He gulped, his pupils wide like he was high, his eyes figuratively ravishing me. "Ye... Yeah! Maybe... now? Now? How about now?"

"Baby boy is so scared, Daddy." His head swiped to me so fast and the vein popped on his forehead.

Oh, fuck! Bad move, Ace. Very bad move.

His harder than steel appendage was already drilling a hole on my back. I squealed at his change and jumped away before he could bend me over his desk.

Ace, keep it together. There are guests and kids... but God! What he could do to me was making me want to drop my...

I twisted my body away just in time so his hand could not trap me again.

"Ace! Stop running."

"NO! You... You will do it!"

"Do what, baby? I will not do anything. Come here."

I turned left when he turned to the right but that man knew me like back of his hand and he caught me around my waist making me giggle.

"Gotcha! You, imp."

"You said you will do nothing."

He pressed me to the edge of desk before spreading my legs and making me sit with him between my thighs.

"Oh, I will do nothing. I will just see what my baby has underneath and may be kiss it, if it is pretty." His hand cupped me and he gave me a squeeze before rolling his wrist.

I did not mean to moan, so wantonly. He kissed my cheek and it made everything a ten thousand times hotter.

"Why don't you lie down on my desk?" He asked, his voice husky.

I wanted that... wanted it so much.

"Later... we have guests and kids."

He tried to push me down and I held his hand gently. I really wanted him to stop, and ironically gentle touches made him listen. "Big Baby... please."

I gave him kisses.

Kiss. "You can have me..."

Kiss. "... later."

Kiss. "I won't..."

Kiss. "let you go..."

Kiss. "... for a long time if..."

Kiss. "...we do it now."

Kiss. "So later, Big Baby, please."

He growled, a bit smug and satisfied. We kissed some more to calm our erratic nerves.

"When we do, I want to do something." He held my hand and we walked to the door.

I had an idea what he wanted to do.

He and his dirty mind! But I was the one who put that in his head, so... Whatever! It was his fault, anyways.

I cutely curled to his body, still walking. "Anything..." I leaned up to his lips and gave another kiss. "... Daddy!"

He groaned before adjusting himself.

Awwww... Poor baby.

When we reached the door I took my hand away and his eyes lost its brightness.

"Robbie..." I pressed my palm on his cheek. "I am here baby. We are together and we will be together. We can do this."

"But..."

"You know I am yours and I know you are mine. They don't matter. So, come with me, Mr. Brantley. You have guests."

I pushed Robbie to the kids and I saw Sarah repeatedly sighing and mumbling while chopping veggies for salad.

"Need help?" I had put automatic switch-off on oven, so cookies were safe. I had some time to spare, before starting to cook.

"No..."

"What is wrong?"

"What is not wrong?" She pointed her chin to the beach lounge and my eyes bugged out its socket.

What the hell!

"David, I am all about women wearing what they want, but... that is just too much. There are kids here." Sarah was right.

Janice was wearing the most exposing bikini in the history of bikini. It was size too small for her altered butt and boobs; they were practically out of them.

I blinked my eyes rapidly.

Jesus!

"What is she even doing?" The disgust in Sarah's voice made me sigh. Janice was stretching her legs in the most awkward pose ever while rubbing sunscreen.

Straight men fell for that? Ewww!

"Just ignore her."

"Really David? Those... those... plastic trash bags are right in our face."

One.

Two.

Three.

I snorted and laughed.

"What?" She chuckled and soon started laughing with me.

"You are a meanie, Sarah."

"You laughed. You are the bigger meanie." She slapped my shoulder and we took all the chopped vegetables to the kitchen.

"Why are you guys laughing?" Vin, Sarah's husband asked.

"Taking out trash bags, Hubby." She snorted and there we went laughing again.

"It is not nice. Stop it." I chastised her.

"You stop it. You started it. You laughed first."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Not."

"Too."

Vin shook his head and pecked his wife's lips. "Okay, goofballs. I do not want to know. Kiddo is napping in the playroom. Thanks David."

I waved his gratitude away. Robbie and I had arranged Lia's playroom downstairs as a nap and time-out zone. We had so many kids running around and they needed an occasional cool off time.

Surprisingly, the idea came from Robbie. He was a big softie for kids, who knew!

I adjusted the cams in that room and gave them a tab, so they could check on their kid occasionally without hindering their fun time.

Windy joined us after sometime and we were off to cook up a storm.

"Guys..." Janice came in, jiggling all her assets and her sickly sweet voice. "My guests are coming in an hour. Please be quicker. I want scrambled eggs, oh, some spaghetti because Kevin loves it, sauce must be from the scratch, and if we don't have enough white wine please go to the store and get some... What else? Oh, you there, what is your name again?" She pointed to Windy. "Cut my sandwiches in the shapes of stars, alright?" Janice giggled. "I love the star shaped sandwiches. Sarah, you don't have to cook. You are a guest."

She waited a few minutes and when she noticed we were not particularly gawking at her oh-so-awesome body; she went away to 'touch up'.

Make up looked good on her. She had done it flawlessly, so all the unnatural contours in her face were not popping. Her swellings near the nose had gone down and it did help her with the appearance; but it was still... a bit unique.

Because honestly when seeing Janice 'beautiful' would not be the word that would come to mind.

Unique.

With makeup of course. Without them she was nowhere close to flawless.

Janice used to be really beautiful. Her angular face, pouty but small lips, cute button nose, her slim body were so perfectly aligned. When she smiled, there were times when her ex-boyfriend in high school- the football star- used to thumb his chest. That was what he did the first time I met him; Aunt Marie asked him to look after me in school- with him being her daughter's boyfriend. Janice smiled seeing him come for us and he went all gooey and melty.

That Janice was not anymore.

"We now know what we are not cooking." Windy announced before taking the star shaped cutters out of the drawer and hid them somewhere. "Oh, so sorry, Miss Random McBitchy, we could not find the star cutters."

Sarah and I did not mean to laugh. It was just, she was so cute nodding her head and doing the exact opposite of what Janice had told her to do.

Janice did notice that there was nothing on our lunch table according to her 'requests'.

Boy! Did she make a scene?

Yes.

Did anyone care?

No.

I thought her friends will but everyone was busy with all the conversation they were having with their close friends and the kids did not care about anything, including what adults were feeding them. They were so busy running around the table and stopped only to open their baby mouths.

Lia was no different except she did not come near Janice.

So, 'where is my star sandwich' remained unanswered. Kevin did not even notice there was no spaghetti as he scarfed down BBQ chicken thighs.

I thought this was not how Janice expected 'her' beach party would turn out. This was just a family brunch slash get-together. Even men were all conservatively dressed in shorts and T-shirts, including Robbie. No one tried to be sexy except of course the lady of the day. She was wearing a see-through kaftan over her bikini during the lunch. I wore a white calf length pants with white undershirt and a Blue Hawaiian shirt which I did not bother to button up.

Ladies were more fashionable. Sarah wore a sundress, Alice was in a peach crepe crop top with grey shorts, Windy was in floral knee length frock, others too; as fashionable as they were, they knew to be mindful about growing young minds.

We obviously had a good time, until Janice decided to change her outfit.

Sarah said Janice hated not having all the attention on her. I did not want to believe it but she came back wearing a nude bikini with heavy beads border, it was so... sheen and her nipples were pointing through the material, and the lips of... of... THAT were as well be out because the colour of the bikini was only one shade up than her skin complexion.

Everyone was looking.

And I was having a second hand embarrassment. This was worse than the first one. It was a size too small but the material covered everything but this... This was atrocious.

I saw Alice swatting her boyfriend's hand hard to stop him from looking. It was not his fault. Allie - her brother and I could not get any gayer because we could not stand female body parts, yet we were staring too.

In our defence, we were staring out of pure astonishment of her decision to wear this to a family event.

It was not about nudity either; it was her decision to be blatantly seductive without considering about kids and she was not related to any of the kids except Lia.

Kids should not see nudity of non-family members. Period!

True, it did not start as a family event, maybe she wanted an adult beach party with sexy humans all swimming in the sea but her friends decided to bring kids... so now was the time to chuck her sexy outfits under the drawer and wear something less sultry.

Kevin, the 'friend' Janice was talking about was, salivating and his date looked irked by that. The ladies did try to point out that her dress was inappropriate around kids. Janice remained thick and 'did not' catch on the hints.

Of all the people, we gay men thought would finally snap and ask her to change her clothes, Alice was not even in our option.

Alice seemed like a mindless follower to Janice. She looked like Janice was the cool cheerleader kid who was way out of her league to be friends with. Sarah knew about all of Janice's B.S stating she used to be a bartender, so she was good at reading people.

"For Christ's sake, please cover yourself up. We have kids here." Alice jumped up and shouted.

Oops.

I could get behind that feeling. Allie's best friend's kid was definitely straight. The poor baby had his mouth open and he stared and stared at her big boobs with jutting out nipples. The kid had two dads, and I could already imagine him asking why did they did not have balloons on their chests.

Alice was protective towards her brother's best friend too. So, she lashed out. But the whole conversation was heating up.

Robbie, Sarah and I excitedly squealed, before picking up all the kids and we herded them to the beach.

We had contacted a company and two gates were temporarily established on the beach, so the kids would not wander off too far without adults knowing. We set up a lounge for the adults and I had to send Robbie to fetch some men who were ogling and enjoying the cat fight.

Everyone gathered around after an hour of heated discussion, seemingly cooled off though Alice and Janice avoided each other like plague.

Kids had a lot of fun. I had to literally run after several trouble makers, so I could slather them up in sunscreen. Lia made her new little friends run away when she saw me coming with the bottle.

But it was fun.

I was playing with them too, and they seemed to like my company. Windy and I took turns bringing up the refreshments, so we were their favourite.

When some couples showed their affection by holding hands and pecking their loved ones' lips, my Robbie settled with a brush of his hand on my hand and a wink. He trapped me in the bathroom and got his kiss once when he could not hold it in.

When the evening came, half of the guests left thanking Robbie for the good time. The other half had decided to stay with us until dinner. Mostly because they wanted their kids to have some more fun and Lia kind of begged them to stay.

Who can deny my adorable little devil?

Someone claimed to be bored and I pulled up a deck of cards when they insisted on karaoke. I was bad at singing... bad!

After a standard 'pick a card, any card... not that card' joke, we were on full swing. I gotta send a thank you card for Frankie. He taught me well.

"Did you get a diamond of four? Allie."

"Ah! I did! I did! How did you..."

"Magic!"

Everyone laughed except Janice. She really was in foul mood. She had to change the clothes and she was not getting enough ogling as she had expected.

"Davey... Theesty."

I poured a few glasses of juices and lemonade in small zippy cups and gave it to her and her friends. Windy had gone home; her girlfriend taking her on a movie date.

Everyone wanted to see another magic trick and this time I pulled a more complicated one. I asked five of them to pick the cards they liked and dramatically huffed and thought.

"Leon, you got 8 of spades." I told Allie's best friend.

"No way. No way in he... earth"

"Is it true or not?" I laughed and he nodded before dramatically throwing the card on the table.

"I shuffle this time." Leon narrowed his eyes and did everything he could but I did my trick, more dramatically this time.

"Katherine got 7 of clubs. Alice got either 5 of spades or 9 of clubs. I am going to go with 5. Janice got 2 of diamond. Am I right or am I right?"

"That is so cool. Baby, did you see what he did? Did you?" Leon climbed up his husband's lap and waved his card on his face.

"I saw it, Lolly."

They kissed.

Leon was an artist and his husband Alec was a cop. They were so in love and they portrayed the life I wanted with Robbie. They were a gay boy's dream. A happy life with a loving husband and adorable trouble makers as kids.

I sighed wistfully before looking at my man and saw him already looking at me with pride, love and absolute adoration.

When would I stop blushing around him?

I ducked my head before my heart eyes gave away my love for him.

"I got the Heart of Ace." Robbie announced proudly without taking his eyes off me and the words were not lost on me. His card was not Heart of Ace. It was a heart card but not that. Might be 10, King or Queen.

"I am pretty sure it is Ace of Hearts." Kevin corrected.
