Chapter 214

214 Gifts and Treasures

Ace had not mentioned anything about it to me and I didn’t think that he would. However, since I am his secretary and also his girlfriend, I knew his birthday.

Now it seemed like the tables have turned and it was my turn to have a hard time figuring out what Ace would want for his birthday present. I should get him something special, but I wasn’t sure what.

“Let’s go back to our room so you can see the gift I got you clearer in the mirror...” Ace suggested as he got up and offered me his hand.

“There’s no need for that. I’ll like it no matter what you give me...” I told him reassuringly.

“That’s no good. I want you to see it clearly and let me know if you like it or not. If you don’t like it, we can get it exchanged for something else or another design...” Ace said stubbornly.

“There’s no need for that. I already told you that I like it. It’s good enough that you got it for me so of course, I like it,” I desperately tried to explain.

However, the look on Ace’s face told me that it wasn’t enough for him. I slipped my hand into his and let him help me up to my feet. I guessed that the only way to satisfy him was for me to properly look in the mirror at the pendant and then tell him that I still loved it even after having seen all of its details.

“Let’s go to our room...” Ace said as he tugged on my arm.

I followed him obediently while still finding it quite amusing that he cared so much about whether or not I liked the present that he got for me. He must have spent a lot of time pondering about what to get for me. I hated to say that all of his efforts were quite in vain because I honestly would have liked everything and anything that he got for me.

It wasn’t a long walk from the veranda to our room. The large bedroom suite was truly welcoming with its grey tone decorations in the modern minimalist style that was quite popular and considered trendy. What truly caught my eye was the very large balcony to one side of the room that showed off the view of the sea. Although it was dark, I could imagine the beauty of the view during the daytime. Tomorrow, we would get to witness it together when we wake up.

“The view is going to be so pretty when morning comes...” I said as I turned to smile at Ace.

Ace’s hazel brown eyes shifted to the window of the balcony for a moment before his attention returned to my face.

“Come this way...the mirror is this way...” he said as he pulled on my arm to turn me around.

I felt the slight pressure of his hand against the small of my back as he pushed and guided me into the bathroom where there surely was a mirror inside.

“Ace...” I called his name softly as he pulled me into the bathroom with him.

'

There was a huge mirror in the bathroom and Ace immediately pushed me forward until I was standing right in front of it. My eyes immediately fell on the little pendant hanging from a thin gold chain that he had placed around my neck. Now that I could look at it closely, I could see that it was a small little sun. Honesty, because it was so small, at first, I thought that it was a small flower with a red gemstone in the middle and smaller gemstones of orange and yellow around it.

“It’s a sun and not a flower, right?” I asked just to make sure that I got it right.

“It’s a sun. I guess the design isn’t great if you can’t really tell...” he mumbled.

“No, it’s really pretty. I’m just asking to make sure. It does look more like a sun than a flower...” I quickly told him before he thought of taking it away and returning it.

Ace wrapped his arms around my waist as he hugged me close to him from behind. I could feel his body heat as he pressed his body against the length of my back and leaned his head next to mine.

“Really...?” he murmured while sounding truly unconvinced.

“Really. It’s very beautiful...thank you, Ace...” I thanked him before I smiled at him in the mirror.

Our eyes met and he smiled back at me as we stared at one another through our reflection in the mirror. After having watched the sunset together, I thought that getting this as a gift felt a little like fate. I wasn’t sure what Ace had in mind when he picked this out for me and perhaps, he didn’t have anything in mind at all and just thought that the design was cute or pretty. Regardless, I was extremely delighted to receive this gift from him.

“I’ll treasure it. Aways...” I promised before turned a little in his arm so that I could see his face directly instead of relying on the reflection from the mirror.

“I’m just glad that you like it,” Ace whispered close to my ear before he kissed my hair.

His kisses were gentle as his arms circled my waist and pulled me even closer to him. The warmth of his breath against my ear tickled a little as he planted more soft teasing kisses against my temple and then my hair. When his lips kissed my ear teasingly before he began nibbling my earlobe, my body started to tremble. I moaned softly as he began sucking on my ear.

The wet sounds of his sucking filled my senses and his sweet teasing suddenly transformed into something even more demanding. His hands began stroking the small of my back before drifting downwards to caress the curve of my ass boldly. I moaned before I whimpered his name as my body began heating up at his seductive caresses.

“Ahh!” I let out a cry of surprise when his manly hands squeezed my buttocks.
