Undercover Wolf novel Chapter 35

"I missed you too, Love" he whispered, tucking my hair behind my ear. He then brought his lips to mine and kissed me softly, but I wanted more so I deepened it, cherishing the taste of him.

He lifted me by my thighs and placed me on his desk, still kissing me deeply. I moaned when his lips went to my neck as he slowly ran his hand up and down the inside of my thighs, then pushed my dress all the way up.

My mind cleared and I noticed what he was doing, but as much as I wanted it, I had to talk to him.

"Ace wait" I mumbled through breaths. He quickly obliged and pulled back, searching my face for answers.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a worried tone. I could see his eyes returning back to their beautiful hazel colour as the darkness faded. Slowly I saw him regaining control.

His face then turned to something I couldn't decipher as I struggled to tell him the wonderful news.

"When I was at home, I discovered something. I didn't want to tell you over the phone"

"What is it? " he asked. I could tell that he was getting antsy, as he buried his nose in my neck again.

"I'm -"

"Pregnant " He whispered just before I could finish. He brought his eyes back to mine as he watched me in so much joy.

"You're pregnant " he repeated with a huge smile on his face. For the two months I've known him, it was the first I've seen him so happy.

"Yes" I mirrored his smile as a few tears rolled down my cheek. How could one person make me feel so happy?

A yelp of surprise escaped me when he lifted me from the desk and twirled me around, laughing loudly with so much life.

"We're gonna have a baby! I'm gonna be a dad!"

I laughed as he showered me with kisses, then he slowly placed me back on my feet. He held both my cheeks in his hands as he gazed lovingly at me.

"I didn't know you would be so happy. " I mumbled truthfully in a small voice.

"Of course I am. Aren't you? " He asked.

"Yes! One hundred percent. I always wanted to be a mom. I just thought you would've thought it was too soon"

I was twenty and he was twenty-one. Having a kid so young wasn't bad, but some people rather wait. I wasn't sure if he would've been one of those people.

"The timing is always perfect once it's with you Roxy" He pecked my lips and rested his forehead against mine."I love you Roxanna Gilbert" He announced, making my heart stop for a moment. It took a few seconds to register what he said, and I searched his eyes and face for a sign that he wasn't sure. But I found none.

He loves me. Ace loves me!

Unexplainable joy clouded my heart, as I stared at the man in front of me. Never in a thousand years have I ever thought someone would make me feel the way Ace does.

He is such a gift to me. Having him in my life was such a blessing. Every day I'm thankful that he is in my life and that he is by my side.

My eyes caught something on his desk, and I reluctantly retrieved the file that was opened. It was a monthly report of a woman's condition. I knew, because it was written in bold at the top of the paper.

MONTHLY REPORT OF JENNA WILSON.

As if right on cue, Ace walked in. He looked slightly surprised by my presence, but he didn't look annoyed or upset.

"You're up early" He said as he gave me my good morning kiss.

"Yea I wanted to see you"

His eyes flickered between me and the file that I was still holding, and I saw a small smile playing on his lips, but it was kinda sad. "I see you've found my mother's file"

My eyes popped out of my head as he said that, and I stared at the picture and name of his mom.

"This is your mom? " I asked as if he didn't just say that. He simply nodded and sat on his desk in front of me. Of course! How didn't I see that? They had a slight resemblance, and they had the same last name.

"What happened to her? " I asked carefully. I knew it might be touchy for him so I didn't want to push it. But of course, Ace was more open with me than I with him. It was unfair really.

"She has always had a mental condition, but it was easily treated by her meds. But after dad died, not even the medicines worked" He had a regretful look on his face, but he was being strong.

"It says here that she's getting better. She's stable and her mind is clear" I tried to sound enthusiastic as I read over the file. He offered me a genuine smile.
