Chapter 58

58 Sweet Punishment

Ace didn’t even take a glance at it, and it was as if he already knew what I was talking about.

“You’re skipping out on the meeting? Why? You’re fifteen minutes late but...please go now. It’s better than not turning up at all!” I urged him loudly as I reached out for his arm and began pulling on it.

“I’m not going. Don’t you have work to do? Leave me alone...” Ace said gruffly.

“What were you doing here?” I asked to confirm my suspicion.

“I was taking a nap...” Ace confessed without any sign of guilt.

The Devil CEO was skipping out on his meetings and napping here?!

What am I dealing with...?

“You can’t just take a nap here!” I snapped.

Why is he taking a nap here of all places?

.....

Come to think of it, when I met him here on the day that Kyle broke up with me, Ace was also taking a nap here...

“Nevermind me. Why are you here? I’m sure that you have work to do, or did you manage to finish that presentation already?” Ace asked as he arched a brow at me.

“Well...” I murmured while trying to avoid his inquisitive gaze.

Ace gave me a look that told me that he knew that something was wrong. I bit my lower lip as I feared that he would ask me about it.

“Do you remember what I told you the last time that you came here?” Ace asked as his eyes narrowed slightly at me.

What he said...

‘Don’t come up here ever again. This is my space. If you do, you might have to pay with something more than a kiss next time,’

Oh no...why didn’t I remember his warning until just now.

“Wait!” I cried out but it was too late.

I gasped when I felt Ace’s grip on my wrist before he pulled me against him. His hazel eyes looked down at me with unmistakable desire. I’ve seen that look in his eyes before when he touched and kissed me in his office. The flames of desire burning in the depth of his eyes was unmistakable.

“Ace...” I whimpered his name.

His arm snaked around my waist, pulling me even closer to him. As if that was even possible, my body was already pressed up tightly against his and I could feel his body heat on mine. I knew that I should apologize for invading his space, but my lips wouldn’t move, and I couldn’t make a sound.

“Should I show you my nap room?” Ace proposed cheerfully.

“Ahh! Ace...” I let out a yelp when he suddenly lifted me up into his arms with ease.

I wasn’t that light but the way he carried me made me feel like I was weightless. After recovering from the shock of him suddenly lifting me up into his arms, it struck me that he mentioned something about his ‘nap room’? What was that?

My body tensed in his arms when I thought that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to find out. Ace strode with firm steps leading us away from the railing of the rooftop.

“There’s a room here?” I said in surprise.

To the side of the rooftop was a wall and after rounding the corner of that wall there was a door. I never knew that there was a room here but then again, this was my second time up here on the rooftop. Apparently, this was Ace’s favorite spot and he seemed to come here often for his naps.

“When I don’t want to work, I come and hide here,” Ace confessed without any guilt.

I looked up at his face in surprise. Frankly, I was shocked. What he was telling me and what I was seeing absolutely did not match with his image of being the Devil CEO at all. What kind of CEO hides away from his work here?

Ace opened the door and carried me into the room before closing and locking the door behind us. The room was small, and I figured that it must have been designed to be a storage room. Based on what I saw inside the room, it was clear that the room had been transformed from a storage room into Ace’s nap room for real. There was a small table and a chair in the room along with a long sofa with a pillow on it.

Ace laid me down on the sofa and I was suddenly enveloped by his smell. I took in a deep breath and the smell of Ace’s perfume filled my senses. Ace definitely took his nap here on his sofa because it smelled so much of him. I had no idea why I was thinking of that rather than focusing on the fact that Ace had gotten on top of me.

“Ace...” I whispered his name as I felt his body weight on me.

Ace looked down at me like he was eying his pray from above as he straddled my hips. He’s going to eat me...

“You’ve gotten quite good at calling my name,” Ace complimented me with a satisfied grin.

I let out a cry when he leaned down and buried his face in the side of my neck. His warm breath tickled the sensitive skin on the side of my neck before he kissed me there. His lips trailed soft kisses along my tender skin while I moaned and arched my neck to the side.

I knew that we shouldn’t be doing this, but his seductive kisses felt so good. His kisses became bolder before his lips started sucking on my neck. The sound of him sucking my neck filled the room along with my soft moans and whimpers of pleasure. When I tried to struggle, he captured my wrists in his large hand and pinned them above my head with ease.

“Stay still...I’ll take you on a trip to heaven...” Ace whispered as his light brown eyes captured mine.

His lips returned to the side of my neck and this time he licked me there. The hot wetness of his tongue sliding up and down the length of my neck made my body tremble and shiver all over. He groaned softly right into my ear and the sound of his lust turned me on even more.
