It felt so natural when he pulled me into his warm and secure embrace. My heart started racing wildly in my chest as he pressed my body against his and hugged me even tighter than before. My arms automatically wrapped around his broad shoulders as I hugged him back desperately. Now that I was in his arms, I was forced to acknowledge even more than before just how much I missed him and his touch.
Ace’s hand moved to stroke my hair and my heart and spirit felt so comforted by him. I felt so simpleminded when his gentle touches helped to ease some of my insecurities. Perhaps it was because my mind desperately wanted to believe in him that I started to feel better. Maybe when work is less crazy, things will get better between us, and I could talk to him then if there were any issues.
“What were you so worried about?” Ace asked gently.
