You’re Still My Man – English

ACE

He didn’t want to misunderstand her. But until this assignment was over and everyone, including Gina and himself was safe, he couldn’t take advantage of her willingness or his desire to make the marriage more real. He will not think about what will happen in the future as long as what is important to him now. He had to put his job first, the job he’d almost lost, even after all he’d invested in it. He was doubly obligated to succeed now.

“You know I’ll just lie if I say I don’t like you, Gina.” he said as he stepped closer to Gina. “I’ve wanted you since the beginning. I can’t hide that from you. But whatever the reason for our marriage, that it will not change.”

“I really don’t understand you, Ace. It’s hard for me to understand you.”

“It’s better that you just don’t understand me. There’s much more to Brando Nicolas than I can tell you. All I’m asking from you is trust. That’s all I’m asking of you Gina, that you trust me. That’s all.”

“Why, what can he do to you and me?”

“You know, I can’t answer that.”

“Are you in trouble, Ace?”

He read the suspicion in her eyes. Does he have to tell her this?

“And why can’t you answer me?” She asked. “I’m your wife now. What affects you, will affect me too.”

“When I’m ready Gina, I’ll tell you everything. Just wait, it’ll be over soon.”

She frowned. “Do you mean, this marriage will be over soon?”

“If there was only enough time, I really don’t want us to end up at the wedding, if there was only time, we should have just been engaged.” He turned abruptly. “And oh, maybe your water in the tub has cooled down.”

He went out of the bathroom and made the bedding of their bed. He thought of calling Payton to say hello to Janice and her baby. His feelings continued as if he was a real member of Gina’s family.

He also decided to just wear the boxer shorts prepared by Maryam, anyway he saw a robe in the drawer of the cabinet. After he changed clothes, he sat on a settee there while drinking champagne. He thought about what happened to him last month. Contentment drifted over him. He accomplished his primary goal to keep Gina away from Brando Nicolas audacity. If he hadn’t married her, she would have been in Brando Nicolas hands now, and made her a slave to his crude pleasures until he got tired of her.

He didn’t want to think about it but he couldn’t help but think about it. Anyway, It had been a good day, even if it hadn’t gone exactly according to plan.

He looked away when the bathroom door opened. And he saw that Gina was wearing his long sleeve. Knowing she hadn’t spotted him in the dimly lit bedroom, he just saw her fumbling with the light switch.

“I’m here.” he said, rising and walking toward her. His long sleeve covered her to mid-thigh. The sleeves were rolled just below her elbows. That’s a very lucky shirt, he said to himself.

“Spying honey? Why do you look like you’re spying there,” she said.

For him it was a good sign, because the old vigor in Gina’s eyes had returned. “I’m sorry Gina, if I didn’t turn on the light right away, I had fallen asleep.” He lied.

“It’s okay Ace, just don’t go to sleep, I’m not sleepy yet. Let’s just play cards. I saw some playing cards in the drawer.”

“All right, let’s play strip poker.”

“Huh? I don’t know how to play that, I only know solitaire.”

“It doesn’t matter, let’s just have fun. By the way, my shirt fits you perfectly, you look even sexier.”

“Thanks, and because of your compliment, I’ll let myself be defeated voluntarily.”

“Aren’t you really sleepy yet, Gina?”

“Yes.”

He thinks that maybe there was something else he could do for her after all.

“Did you sleep well last night?” He asked.

“Honestly, I didn’t sleep very well last night.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Do you want a back massage? It will help you relax.”

“I’d rather play solitaire.” Then Gina grumbled in bed. “Sometimes you need to have fun, you take life too seriously.”

“I’ll take it under consideration.” he replied.

GINA

“Aren’t you really tempted by me, Ace? or you don’t find me attractive?” She didn’t wait for him to answer, she just lay down and covered herself with a blanket. Loving him was not going to be easy. Loving him and not being able to show it was going to be impossible, especially on the terms he’d established.

After a few minutes of silence, she just heard Ace speaking. “Take off your clothes, I will massage your back,” he said. “I’ll be back in a minute.”

She understood that he expected her to strip and cover up by the time he returned, so she just followed what he said.

She quickly took off her clothes and only covered her body with a blanket.

When Ace returned, she saw that he brought a lotion.

“Lie down, Gina, so I can put lotion on your back.”

While she was lying down, Ace sat down next to her and applied lotion to her back. Her breathing seemed to stop as Ace started massaging her back. She realized that it felt so good.

“There, you can sleep well tonight.” he said, his voice is as soothing as the massage.

After a while, his hand massaged her. His fingers massaged hers one by one, then his thumbs pressed her palms. It looks like his fingers have become rubber. After a few minutes, he massaged her back again, straying a little lower each time, until she could feel the blanket covering her body was lifted as he continued to massage.

She was afraid to breathe, because that opportunity might be cut short by her little movement. She didn’t want Ace to notice that she had been electrified by what he was doing. It’s good to think she’s asleep.

Now, she felt his hands stroke her thighs, then a gentle tug to move her legs apart. The bed sank as he knelt between her thighs, massaging one thigh, then the other. He also slid his hands back up her legs, pushing, pressing, and stroking. Then gentle fingertips stroked her, drawing her essence, teasing her, until she forgot everything.

“Easy.” he said softly as he touched her intimately.

Ace leaned over her, and he held both her shoulders while he whispered in her ear “Roll over.”

Because Ace was still kneeling between her thighs, he had to maneuver hers around him as she turned. After she turned around, Ace removed the blanket in front of her, leaving her vulnerable and wanting him. But he didn’t even move her. She was still expecting what would happen to them next. But he stopped what he was doing and turned away his gaze from her.

“Kiss me Ace, please. I think I’m going to die if you don’t.”

Ace looked at her again and gently stroked her hair. Her eyes widened when she saw that his face was gradually approaching hers. She closed her eyes. Is this the moment? Is he going to kiss her? Probably not, it was too good to be true. She was just imagining things, her other mind said. But then, she just felt the application of his lips to hers. He nipped her lips softly and slowly as if she was being electrified for several megawatts. He tasted dark and hot and mysterious. And he knew exactly when to retreat, when to press, when to tease, when to satisfy, and she reciprocated also her husband ‘s warm kisses.

Between their kisses they hear their own growls. Ace got up and took off his clothes, oh-lal-a… it was exposed to her what she had previously avoided to see, his six-pack abs physique.

He began to caress her thighs up, then down, and she couldn’t help but feel the strange sensation caused by what he was doing.

Ace kissed her again on her lips until her lips dropped to her breast. He gently cupped her breast and then tasted it. His tongue tracing a path around each nipple and sucked it. She couldn’t help but moan with so much pleasure that she felt. When she was finding air to breathe again, he reached for the side garter of her panty and pulled it down her legs. Then, he inserted two of his fingers into her core while his thumb makes circular motions on her clit making her back arched. Again and again she almost reached the peak. She feels really good, undescribable it seems.

But Ace suddenly stopped what he was doing, as if he went back to reality. He stood up, put on his clothes again and covered her with the blanket.

“Where are you going, Ace?” She asked as he walked away.

“Go to sleep, Georgina.”

Is that all he will say to her after he left her hanging again?

She quickly put on her clothes and immediately followed Ace.

When she was able to reach him, she approached him and confronted. “What are you doing, Ace? Why did you walk away from me?” She asked directly. She really should know the answer to it, whether it hurts her or not.
