Summary
"-You think loving him is enough to hold him? You think you can keep him just because you feel something?"
Ace’s throat bobbed as he swallowed. But he didn’t look away. He didn’t back down.
"I don’t think it’ll be easy," Ace said, rough and sure. "I know it won’t."
Shanks’ eyes narrowed slightly, considering him.
"Then answer me this," he said, voice dropping low, dangerous, "how the hell am I supposed to trust my songbird’s body —his heart —to a brat who doesn’t even know how to fuck a woman, let alone a man? "
Ace’s entire body went rigid.
He flushed deeper, the color high and angry in his face now, his fists clenching on his knees until his knuckles went white.
"I—!" he sputtered, completely undone for the first time tonight. "I—I’m not some idiot! Just because—just because I haven’t— that doesn’t mean I—!"
Shanks laughed again, throwing his head back slightly, the sound rich with genuine amusement.
"God," he said between chuckles, "you’re easy to rile up."
