Badboy Ace novel Chapter 10

Ryn's pov

I looked at him shocked "Come again?" I asked him. I must've heard wrong. There's no way this criminal thinks he'll be staying with me.

"Ah but I haven't come inside you yet so how can I come again?" He asked smugly and arched his brow in mockery.

I got off the sofa and watch in satisfaction at the quick shock that settled on his features a second ago, only to disappear to reveal his cocky attitude.

I marched towards him my features vexed and gripped him around his neck when I had gotten near him. I applied pressure and brought my face closer to his until we were about a breath apart.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that again?" I spat out. It didn't seem to faze him as I was now rewarded with a teasing smile. I forced my eyes to stay on his and not stray to look at those inviting lips of his.

(Princess)

"But why shouldn't I bellissima? When you clearly like it judging by those dilated pupils of yours?" He retorted and smirked when my brave face faltered and now was replaced by embarrassment.

I let him go and wiped my hands on my pajamas, showing him that it disgust me for even touching him.

I sighed it was useless fighting him at this point we both wanted the same thing which was to bring down Robert once and for all.

"It doesn't really please me to have a criminal stay with me, I'm a cop after all I could lose my job over this." I stated and went to sit back down. I crossed my legs and folded my arms as I waited for him to speak up.

He snorted and rolled his emerald eyes at me. "No one has to know that you have a handsome man living with you, besides it's only for a while until we put the asshole behind bars."

"You're a wanted man Ace, what makes you think that someone will not catch you before you catch Robert?" I asked intrigued to know his response.

He let out an amused chuckle "If you couldn't catch me what makes you think someone else will?"

"I could have caught you if I really wanted to Ace!" I retorted back boastfully. I doubt I could but he didn't need to know that. The man seriously doesn't need to boost his already too big of an ego.

He snorted before going into full belly laughing. My jaw ticked in irritation at his obvious amusement at my words. What a dick!

He stopped laughing and looked at me seriously "Sure you could have bellissima, I don't doubt it," He said sarcastically.

"You know you ought to show respect for the person who's allowing you a criminal to stay at her home." I said angrily. I was sure my face was now red in anger and I could picture the invisible smoke coming out of my ears right now.

"Criminal, I'm starting to think that you love that word officer." Ace smirked. I glared at him meaningfully and rolled my eyes at his audacity to mock me at this point.

It would be useless quarreling with him, we'll just end up to square one.

"Aren't we going to fuck now?" He said so bluntly that I jumped back in shock. I finally regained my composure and pointed a finger at him in warning.

"If you're going to be living underneath my roof there's going to have some rules." I warned and dropped my finger. I walked inside the guest room and gestured to the bed.

"This is the guest room, you'll be sleeping here alone, and sorry I couldn't change the sheets but let's be honest it suits you." I said smugly.

The sheets were a baby pink color with little pink flowers decorating it lovely. It was a sharp contrast to the brooding brute that was staring at it in distaste. He walked in and looked around the plain room.

I didn't wait for him to speak and walked out and opened my bedroom door that was opposite to his. Before I could close it his voice stopped me.

"So we're not going to fuck?" He asked. I turned around to stare at him and shook my head.

"No we are not going to fuck." I stated, closed my door with a bang and locked it. I heard his boastful chuckles and shook my head in amusement. This guy seriously won't give up.

"You will fall for me sooner or later bellissima!" His voice spoke through the closed door.

"Don't count on it!" I retorted back and fall on my bed with a soft groan. I pulled the covers over my body and let myself drift to a peaceful sleep.
