Author POV:
Iris smiled unsurely. Tell me you're joking because nowhere in the world it seems real," Su said, rolling her eyes. Iris nodded.
Did you kiss someone," Felix said, raising his eyebrows. No," Iris said and resumed her cooking quickly.
She asked the guys "If you kiss someone it means they love each other" but they all call her stupid for that. So, Iris how's Ace treating you," Leo asked hesitatingly. She nodded.
Penso che gli piaccia davvero davvero (I think he really really likes her)," Ivan said laughing. ti dà fastidio? (Is it bothering you?) ," Ace said leaning at the kitchen doorway.
He said the words to Ivan but his attention, his eyes, was always on her. Nope," Ivan said, smirking.
Iris looked away biting her lips. She felt awkward whenever he looked at her for more than half a second. He sat on the kitchen table and Iris gave him his coffee.
Mini," he said and she looked at him and smiled. You look beautiful," he said, placing his hand on her waist. Thank you," she said terrified. I mean really when a Greek god praises you, you will have a heart attack in shock.
Y-Y-You look handsome t-t-too, um... your dress looks neat and your waistcoat looks so elegant, more like you look like a 5-star meal," Iris ended her innocent awkward praise for Ace with a chef kiss and showed a pretty smile.
He smirked. I hate the speech but I like the chef kiss," Aiden said mimicking Iris's chef kiss. She whined pouting. Ace gently makes her sit on his lap.
I will be late tonight, don't stay up too late," he said and kissed her chubby cheeks.
She nodded sadly. Even though she fears him she is not going to deny the fact that she loves to sleep with him. It's cozy.
Come on my little mini don't be sad," he said, pulling her close so that their faces were close to each other. But her mood was sad already.
I am not sad," she said, still unaware that they are in the kitchen and everyone is watching them balling their eyes out but Ace was aware.
He kissed her cheeks repeatedly and said," You're *kiss* so *kiss* cute *kiss*," Ace whispered, still kissing her cheeks and nuzzling in it.
Don't do that, I feel sleepy," she said, yawning. He smiled and told her to serve him breakfast and she left to call Melinda for help in setting the table.
Muah! Muah! Hmm… don't do that, I feel sleepy," Aiden said, making kissing sounds and speaking in a girlish tone. Ace looked at him emotionlessly.
After that, everyone left for work.

Ace POV:
It was 1 in the morning when I arrived at the mansion. My footsteps were echoing everywhere. I was tired as fuck tonight. When I opened my bedroom door…
Mini," I said. She stood up from the floor smiling at me. I sighed, took off my watch, put it on the table and unbuttoned my shirt, and threw it on the bed.
I sat on the bed stretching my sore back and muscles. I am used to it by now. You are tired," she said, not like a question but worried.
I stayed silent staring in front of me. She stood in front of me, nudging my shoulder with her little fingers. Then she stopped. It's okay if you have worries or stress tomorrow or someday it will be gone," she said. I looked at her emotionlessly.
She was wearing a loose frock, messy one braid. I put my hand on her waist and pulled her toward me. I placed my head on her breasts and hugged her tight. It felt good.
Her heart was pounding. I felt her hand on my shoulder after some seconds. For 1 minute we stood there without moving.
She put her hand on my hair and massaged it slowly. Your hair is soft," she said. I hugged her more tightly. It felt good. She felt good.
Ace," she whimpered. That's when I realized I hugged her too tight than I should have. I left her and went to the restroom without looking at her.
My hair was messy. I sighed and freshened up. I only wore my trousers. Why did I hug her?
When I came out she was sitting on the edge of the bed. I went straight to the bed and lay. Ace, did you eat," she muttered. I felt her moving and sitting beside me.
Are you asleep," she asked. What do you think I am doing right now Dancing," I asked, still my eyes closed.
I am sorry, but did you eat," she asked. It is irritating me now. I sat up in a criss-cross position. She bit her lips now she was scared. Idiot.
I ate now, shut the mouth of yours before I rip it off you," I said looking at her eyes straight. She hung her head low. Ok but if you wanna talk about something you can tell me you look stressed," she said.
Tell you what, I killed 3 people today or should I talk about shipments," I spit out angrily. After some seconds she sat in front of me slowly and palmed my face in her little hands, and joined our foreheads.
It's okay," she said. My dad used to do this when I was stressed or tired," she said and closed her eyes.
You did your best today," she said. I know," I said, taking deep breaths slowly. She smiled and said," But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate you.
I closed my eyes. Her smell was calming. She rubbed her fingers on my cheeks gently. She backed away after 1 minute. Good," she asked.
I moved forward till our faces were close to each other. Mini," I whispered. She hummed.
My nose was touching hers. Sleep," she asked, taking deep breaths. I moved more and our lips touched.
I just stayed there without moving my lips and backed away just a little so that our noses were still touching. Do you like me," I asked?
I don't know," she whispered. Ace," I heard Hudson but I was still looking at her. Why can't she just like me?
She was staring at him wide-eyed and backed away from me. I got up and closed the door in his face. Cockblocker.
When I looked back she was laying in bed embarrassed. I lay beside her. I put my face around her neck and one hand under her head and the other on her waist and hugged her close to me.
I drifted to sleep faster than I thought.
Hudson POV:
What do you mean by he loves her," Alex yelled sitting in the living room. Everyone was looking at me like I was growing horns in my head. Last night I was standing in the doorway all the time when the little show started in their bed.
But I never saw Ace this gentle with anyone, not even with himself and careless. He is always clever about his surroundings but he didn't even know that I opened the door. I didn't tell them anything yet. He behaved strangely last night.
If he gets a taste of her then he will throw her too," Leo said. Come on guys she's not that innocent Ok I am not gonna believe like you all do," Su said sipping his coffee and going through some files. She is the secretary of Aiden.
Ohh yeah says the smartass," Felix said. She ignored him and rolled his eyes. I will prove it to you then," she said looking behind me.
Iris smiled. Good morning!" she chirped. Someone looks happy," Felix said. Yeah.. today is my salary day," she said, clapping her hands together. Felix definitely likes her and that's definitely bad.
So, Iris, what's something? It's long and it has juices in it," Su said emotionlessly. But gosh, the guys were smirking and laughing.
Ash gourd, cucumber," Iris said smiling wide. Su rolled her eyes. Ace and Su are the most stubborn people in our group.
Su didn't like the fact that Ace is taking advantage of Iris but she still can't believe how a girl can be this naive.
Told you," Aiden said, nudging her forearm. She looked angrily at him. Mini," Ace called her.
Great timing Ace! What's something? It's soft and it has juices in it," she said but one word was wrong.
He leaned down and whispered something in her ear. I don't have cats," she said confused. Leo and Felix choked on their drinks, ohh… now I understand eww… Ace, we are literally sitting here," I said.
He smirked. He sat beside me on the couch. Mini, come home early today," he ordered. Umm.. well I.. can't," she said, swinging her body back and forth. Why", he said.
Woow didn't know he cares about other people's feelings.
My friend is taking me somewhere," she said. But you don't have any friends, ragazza dolce (Sweet girl)," he said laughing. Gosh, did she use some witchcraft on him last night?
Well, now I have he said..," Ace interrupted her. He," Ace said standing up. Yeah, his name is Brent," she said sweetly.
Brent said we are going to eat dinner then play at some park or talk," she said smiling.
Questo è sicuramente un appuntamento (That's definitely a date) ," Liam said laughing.
Well, you're going to tell him that I am going somewhere with my boyfriend," he said very calmly. Wait.. what boyfriend.
You're my boyfriend," she said wide-eyed. He leaned down till their noses touched. Yes," he peaked her lips.
7 clock, I will pick you up, and our date starts," he said and left. I have a boyfriend, I HAVE A FREAKING BOYFRIEND," she screamed. She sat on the couch and palmed her face.
She left to work jumping here and there not before shaking Aiden's hand in happiness. But everyone was in shock and confused.
Iris POV:
Oow..," I yelped. Gosh, your hair is tangled," Su said frustrated. I asked Su to make my hair pretty but it's a little bit difficult. She was standing behind me and I was sitting in a chair and a big mirror in front of us.
So, Iris, are you sure you wanna go on this date," Felix said leaning on the table. Why is that bad, I have never been on a date," I said nervously.
Well, what he means is that you're going on a date with a man who kills people for fun and a psychopath," Su said casually. Oh. I am scared now.
I know he is bad but Dad said never to judge someone quickly and easily. Without a light, you can't even see the diamond shine.
I shrugged my shoulders. You know if he does something that you don't like you will tell me Ok," Aiden said, putting his hands on my shoulder. I smiled and nodded. But what Ace will do that I don't like?
Ok, guys get out of the room, we are going to have some adult girl's talk," Su said, dragging everyone out of the room.
So, Iris, what do you know about dates," Su asked, styling my hair. I don't know, Mom never talks about these things to me," I said nervously.
I have been scared of her since that day. Our first meeting was a disaster. She stayed silent and styled my hair…
Freaking hell. My hair looks so good. Thank you so much," I thanked her, smiling wide. Welcome, non sei così male, immagino (you're not that bad, I guess.)," she said. Ok... I didn't understand half of what she said.
No, oh my god I forgot to wear my date dress," I yelled. What, I thought you're gonna wear your current outfit to date," she said in disbelief.
Are you stupid now my hard work will be ruined," she was angry. Ugh.. come with me," she said and looked inside my dresses.
Here, wear this," she said, throwing a dress on my face. It's a little bit revealing," I said nervously. And who's fault is that" she said, raising her eyebrows.
I shook my head and went to the restroom. It's my fault ughh... Stupid, stupid Iris.
Author POV:
It was 6:55 in the evening. Ace wore a black shirt, black pants. Just casual wear perfectly fitting to his body showing casing his muscular features.
All the people were sitting in the living room drinking and chattering. Ace stood up to get a wine. Holy shit," he heard Leo say. When Ace looked at where Leo was staring and he froze at the glorious sight.
Iris was wearing a light red dress, her legs looked perfect with the black beige wedges heels, hugging her waist and chest in perfect proportion, her collar bones look prominent, full sleeves. She didn't put much makeup on, just eyeliner and lipstick.
Little hair strands were brushing her cheeks in front and the other half was rolled and clipped backwards.
I thought you were against the date," Aiden whispered to Su. I hate it, but I am not gonna put my hatred on makeup, I love makeup. And also I forced her to wear this all," she said laughing.
Ace," Alex called. Do I look like an Annabelle doll," Iris asked. Trust me, someone definitely got a boner here because of you," Ivan said laughing.
What is a boner," she asked. Never mind," Ivan said, laughing really hard now.
Ace, can you pass me the bottle now," Alex asked 2 times now. He did but his glass. Alex cleared his throat loudly.
SNAP. Ace came out of his lewd thoughts and cleared his throat. He was embarrassed to slip like this.
You look ravishing Mini bear," he said walking towards her and standing in front of her. But still, she looks little in front of him after wearing heels.
T-T-Thank you," she said. You look handsome," she said putting the hairs behind her ears and huffing. It was irritating her.
Let's start our date, Mini….
