Ace

I watch her before rolling on my back as well, someone knocking at the door.

Bella

I glance at the door and then back at him, biting my lip.

Ace

I sigh, making sure she's covered, and slip out of bed. Dressing only into pants, I head to the door and find Marco there with a phone.

"I know you said not to interrupt you again," he says nervously, his hand shaking slightly, "but it's Brady. He said he had direct orders to speak with you."

I take the phone and shoo him off, closing the door.

Bella

I sit up a little bit on my elbows and run a hand through my hair with my good hand, watching him.

Ace

I bring the phone to my ear and listen to Brady ramble on about injuries and conditions. When he's finished, I remind him of my threat and hang up. I lock the door again and set the phone down before lying at Bella's side again.

Bella

I sigh and look at him, "Is this what you do all day?" I smile, "Sleep with girls and just boss people around? Because that sounds fun," I flip on my side to face him.

Ace

I smile and look at her, "Some days. Other days I just boss people around and sleep alone."

Bella

I smile wider, "My days...drinking grey goose in the alleys, going to the bars and finding some random guy, usually older than me. Around twenty-five or so, and then sleep with them. Then, leave them really early in the morning and go shopping. With money I steal from their wallets..." I bite my lip.

Ace

I study her before taking her hand and smiling again, "No more. I want you to myself."

Bella

"Fine... Because I can't steal from your wallet. You'd kill me," I smile looking back at him, "Or accuse poor Marco and I think him and I are going to be become best friends and that wouldn't be a good start to a friendship."

Ace

I frown, "I don't want you best friends with Marco. Brady's better, more trained... And I know he won't touch you. I'll give you money."

Bella

I bite my lip and joke around, "Is Brady hot?" I smirk.

Ace

I narrow my eyes at her, keeping a straight expression, "I'm not answering that question."

Bella

I chuckle, "I know. I was just playing around."

Ace

I flash a smile before shaking my head, "I don't like that game."
