After my refreshing shower, I strutted into my room, wrapped in a towel. With the music blasting, I let loose, twirling and dancing to the beat.

But as I spun around, I came face-to-face with Ace, grinning like he caught me red-handed. "AH!" I exclaimed, caught off guard. "What the hell are you doing here?"

He smirked, clearly amused by the situation. "Well, well, well, Don't you look hot?"

I rolled my eyes, pretending to be annoyed. "Can't a girl have a moment to herself without being spied on?"

He took a step closer to me, trapping me against the wall. His gaze intensified, making me feel like his prey.

"Who could resist spying on you?" he said, his voice low, husky and full of desire.

I let out a sigh, unable to hide my amusement. "What are you doing here, Ace? Did you come to admire me or something?"

He chuckled, his eyes sparkling with affection. "Well, we are going to the Mafia ball tomorrow, I wanted to see you and thought we could go shopping for our dresses?

I couldn't help but blush at his words, feeling a mix of embarrassment and delight. "Sure but next time, try knocking on the door like a normal person, okay?"

Ace smirked, his gaze lingering on my flushed face. "Where's the fun in that? I prefer catching you off guard."

Before I could come up with a snarky remark, his warm lips met mine in a passionate kiss. My heart raced as his arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer. 

"I missed you," he whispered, his hands gently caressing my bare skin.

"I missed you too," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. As our lips parted, I couldn't help but let my hand graze over his sculpted abs. "And your abs," I playfully whispered, a mischievous smile dancing on my lips.

He looked into my eyes, his gaze filled with affection. "So, did you miss me more, or my abs?" he asked.

I couldn't help but smirk, teasing him in return. "Definitely your abs"

His laughter filled the room as he pulled me into a tight embrace. "Well, I'm glad to know my abs have such a lasting impression on you," he said, his voice tinged with amusement.

"Hmm, what can I say? They are pretty good," I chuckled softly, teasingly running a finger along his defined muscles.

"Let's go shopping, yes?" I suggested with a playful smile, pulling away from his embrace.

"Of course," he replied, a hint of reluctance in his voice as he released me from his hold. I instantly missed the warmth of his touch.

We quickly got dressed and headed out together, ready for a day of shopping .Finally, we arrived at the car, and I playfully nudged Ace. 

"Get in loser. We're going shopping," I said with a smirk, opening the car door.
