back.
    “You’re such a tease,” Jade panted out when Ace finally broke their kiss. Sweat glistened on her forehead, as though she had just finished a long run. The endorphin high of making out with Ace was so much better than a runner’s high, though. Jade had never felt so on top of the world.
    “I’m a tease, huh?” Ace asked, in that same husky tone that drove Jade crazy. “We’ve barely gotten started, Love.”
    With that, Ace reached down and grabbed the hem of her tank top, pulling it up and over her head, then tossing it aside onto the living room floor. Jade moaned as Ace’s bare chest pressed against her naked breasts and alert nipples. His dark chest hair tickled her skin, and she shivered from the delightful tingles that passed through her body anew.
    Ace grinned. He pushed himself back and scooted down a bit so that his mouth was even with Jade’s nipples. Then he began tickling the tips of each perked up nipple with just the edge of his tongue. The sensation of his wet tongue on such sensitive flesh made the muscles between Jade’s legs throb with heavy anticipation. After a few moments of this, Ace deepened his tongue’s reach. He pulled Jade’s whole left nipple into his mouth, covering it completely with his warm, soft tongue. He massaged the hard nub until Jade was arching her back from the intensity of the feeling. Just before she exploded, he pulled away for a moment, leaving her wet nipple exposed to the cooling night air. Jade moaned again, shivering with delight. And then Ace was back at it, giving her right nipple the same treatment he had just bestowed on the left one.
    As he continued to suck on her breasts, he slipped his hand underneath the waistband of her thin cotton shorts and cotton panties. He found her entrance, and slid his pointer finger back and forth across the slick, swollen skin of her clitoris.
    “You’re so wet,” he murmured with approval, pulling away from her breasts.
    “All for you, baby,” Jade murmured back. Ace grunted in appreciation, then went back to pleasuring her nipples, while slipping his fingers deeper inside of her. He found places that Jade hadn’t even known existed until that moment. She felt her breathing becoming rapid, and she let out several long moans as the tingling sensations centering around her breasts and groin became too much to bear.
    “Ace!” she yelled out, arching her back again against the building pressure. This time, Ace didn’t pull back or slow down the movement of his hands or tongue. “Come for me baby,” he growled out. The authority in his husky voice sent a thrill through Jade, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She let out a long, primal shriek as she found her release. She panted rapidly as her inner muscles clenched around Ace’s fingers over and over. The sweet sensation of tingling and warmth spreading through her body was unlike anything she had ever felt before.
    Ace slipped his hand out from between her legs and put his arm around her, pulling her close as her orgasm slowly subsided. He kissed her forehead and then nuzzled his nose against her nose.
    “Wow,” Jade whispered. “That was incredible.”
    Ace smiled. “Like I told you, Love—we’re just getting started,” he said. Then he reached down and hooked his fingers on the hem of her shorts and underwear, pulling them down and off in one swift movement. He threw the clothes aside, then let his eyes glide appreciatively over Jade’s naked body. She felt her skin warming under his burning gaze, and her breathing started speeding up again.
    “You’re so perfect,” Ace whispered.
    Jade closed her eyes and let his words fully sink in. She was lying here in front of him, completely exposed, with every flaw on display. And yet, he thought she was perfect. What more could she ask for? When she opened her eyes again, Ace was still watching her, desire etched across his entire face. He let out a low growl, and then quickly pulled his own underwear
