[SLOW BURN} (CHECK OUT MY NEW MAFIA ROMANCE. OUT NOW!) "You can't hurt me anymore, Ace. I'm not that crybaby you used to know," she warned, taking a step back. "Who said anything about hurting anyone, darling? There's only one place I need to cry for me. One very," his eyes trailed down her body, and stopped between her thighs. "Very moist place." He took two steps forward, and closed the gap between them. Ace is the legitimate heir to the Atticus dynasty, but there's a condition.

"That was the coolest bath ever!" Sophie declared as they returned to the room.
"You think?"
"I know. It definitely was. You know how to make good bubbles, Fay."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, my precious."
She raised her head up, and was startled by Marilyn's presence. "That was fast," she said, tucking the towel around her chest.
"You won't believe there's a convenience store just down this street, which happens to sell clothes too. I bought these really pretty dresses," she said, emptying the contents of the bag on the bed.
"Wow, that's a lot!" Sophie said to Fay.
"It just means you have varieties to select from. What's your favorite color?"
"None." She grew somber.
"You don't have to talk about it, until you're ready. Mine is black."
"What?" Her head shot up.
"Actually, any color that isn't bright. I already have bright red hair, and green eyes. Any more colors, and I'd look like a circus clown."
