His Curvy Woman (Curvy Women Wanted Book 5)(9)
“Not necessarily.”
“I had the good job, a fantastic income, a guy to marry. I think I was even on the verge of buying a house, and it all came crashing down,” she said.
“You coming into the shop was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” he said, being honest with her. “I always wondered about you. I hoped you were happy. Graduation day, you looked so sad. Everyone else around you was happy and celebrating. You stood away from them, looking in, watching. I should have come to you then, and I didn’t.”
“I saw you that day. We stared at each other,” Trixie said. “I was going to come over to you, to congratulate you.”
“Someone walked between us, and I left.”
“You left.”
“It was the biggest mistake I made,” he said. “I could have kissed you that day, and not waited twelve years to do it.” With that, he kissed her again.

Sitting on a kitchen chair completely naked was not how she’d imagined spending the rest of her night. Nor was holding a bowl of cereal as Ace padded around naked. He made her feel so comfortable in her own skin, it was unreal.
“You sure you don’t want anything else to eat?”
Trixie shook her head. “It is so late, I do not want to even think about anything too big.” She took another bite of her cereal. “Is there a risk of your mom walking in and catching us?”
“Nope. She always turns up when I’m at work.”
“She doesn’t come to see you at work though,” Trixie said, knowing in the past three years she hadn’t seen his mother.
“No. She doesn’t. Our relationship is really complicated, and I don’t like her being in my place of work when I have to concentrate,” he said. “It messes with my head.”
He moved toward her, taking a seat opposite. His cock, while flaccid, was still impressive to look at. She couldn’t believe that moments ago he’d been inside her.
“She’s still your mother.”
“Yeah, well, I prefer her to stay away from work. Last time she was at my place, she kept convincing everyone there that they didn’t need to mark their bodies for life. She loves me and all, but she is not good for business.”
“Did you lose a lot of business?” she asked in between mouthfuls of food.
“Nope. I didn’t lose a lot. They just advised that I kept mommy dearest away from my workplace. I have, and business is indeed booming.”
“Yay! It’s good because I’ve got a job, and you are very talented.”
“Thank you.” He was eating, and she was eating. “Spit it out. Whatever is going on in your head, just let me have it.”
“You don’t know everything I’m thinking.”
“I know you like my cock, and you probably want it again, deep inside you.”
She rolled her eyes. “I’m not thinking that. I’m curious about what happens tomorrow.”
“We get up. If you’re a good girl, I will make you breakfast, and then we’ll go to work.”
“Just like that?” she asked. “I’m new to this whole one-night stand thing.”
Ace held his hand up. “Wait, whoa, who said anything about a one night stand?” he asked.
“I don’t know what this is.”
“Now I feel very used,” he said, making her smile. “Honey, one-night stands do not linger over dinner, even if it’s cereal. It’s late, and this is dinner. I’d call this a backward date.”
“Sex and then food. It’s the best way to go. I couldn’t have sex if I was totally full,” she said. “You know, I just thought. I love Italian food. Spaghetti and meatballs is probably not authentic Italian, but it’s my favorite. Could you imagine getting all hot and heavy on that kind of food?” She wrinkled her nose. “I think I would barf.”
He burst out laughing. “Only you could think about food that would make you sick after sex. Just so you know it is duly noted, and I will make sure that you don’t visit any Italian places before I want sex.”
“This is fun,” she said.
“You know this means you’re my girl.”
“What do you mean?”
“No offense intended. I don’t stick my dick in just anyone. I’m a guy, but I’ve changed a lot as well. I’ve not been with anyone in a long time, and I want this to work between us.”
“Work?”
“Yes. I want you to be my girl, Trixie. I wanted it over twelve years ago. I’m not going to wait around for you to leave again. I’m laying my cards on the table. I want you for my own. The sex is amazing, but I want forever.”
