LOS ANGELES

IVY RIVERA APARTMENT

(This episode contains matured content)

Ace Clark woke up from a deep wonderful sleep to soft darkness and Ivy by his side. Surrounded by her heat with the serious sense of completeness in him, he held onto that feeling that came with being around her. He felt each breath she took, her heart beating against his side and her hand laying on his chest. It struck Ace Clark right then that meeting Ivy Rivera had brought him something he hadn't had for most of his life - “Peace.” It felt like a balm to his soul and it was all because of Ivy, one woman with a beautiful eyes who has a way of touching him that gave him life. It was so simple yet so remarkable. His heart lurched when she sighed softly then settled again. Ace inhaled and exhaled the sweet scent of Ivy Rivera.

“You awake?” Ivy asked in a whisper through the darkness.

“I didn't think you were awake.” Ace Clark mumbled as he felt Ivy shift and then her hand was stroking lazy circles on his chest. And the contact was starting to draw him, starting to bring back a need for her that he thought he had just satisfied.

“I woke up not too long.” Ivy said with a sigh.

Ace Clark could feel himself getting turn on as she continued to draw circles on his chest. “I want to feel you again and look at you and never take my eyes off you.” He flicked strands of hair from her face, and then traced his fingers over her face. She closed her eyes to feel his warmth.

“So I have been thinking about so many things lately and I wanted to ask you something.” Ace stopped the movement of his fingers on her face.

Ivy shifted, moving slightly from Ace to raise herself on elbow and looked down at him. “What?”

Ace Clark touched her cheeks with the tips of his fingers the connection vital and compelling. “Ivy..” He swallowed hard trying to make up the right words. “Can you stay with me forever?” He felt her exhale a shaky breath.

“Stay with me...No...I..mean -“ Ace stuttered. He was so nervous. “Ivy, will you marry me?” He blurted after a moment of silence.

“Ivy, I really want to be with you forever, to always wake up by your side.” Ace whispered.

This is the first time he would ever asked any woman to stay with him. There was no walking away from Ivy and Leroy. He wanted to be with them forever. Ivy didn’t say anything, she just stared at him trying to comprehend his words. Ace kissed her with as much need as passion, then eased her back on the bed when he felt she wasn't responding to him. Maybe if she didn't speak or answer, it wouldn't end.

She started to say something but he kissed her again to keep her words at bay. Ace trailed his fingers along her cheeks, he felt the wetness and he tasted the saltiness of tears that stopped him and he drew back from her. He couldn't hurt her, not in anyway. He didn’t want to see her cry again.
