Claiming Mr.CEO

CHAPTER FIVE

"Where did it go?" Crescent mumbled, troubled, as he thoroughly explored his entire room for something very important.

"What are you looking for?" Ace questioned as he peeked over Crescent's back.

"I can't seem to find my chocolate." Crescent was in a panic as he rummaged through his backpack for his chocolate. "It was the last piece," He was restless.

"Oh, you're talking about this one?" Ace questioned innocently as he reached into his pocket, digging for something.

Crescent turned around to see Ace, who was taking out a mini chocolate bar from his pocket. Crescent didn't take long to recognize the chocolate in Ace's hand.

"You stole my chocolate!" Crescent growled viciously as Ace dangled the chocolate bar in front of him.

Ace didn't even bother answering. He was amused at Crescent's reaction. He unwrapped the mini chocolate bar instead.

"You better give it back." Crescent had issued a warning, glaring.

Ace smirked, glancing at the chocolate for a moment before turning to face Crescent.

"Come get it, then," Ace said as he clasped the chocolate bar between his teeth and drew Crescent closer to him by grabbing his hand.

Crescent blushed as he was taken aback, while Ace only had a mischievous look in his eyes.

"You don't want it any more?" Ace questioned, his chocolate still in between his teeth.

"I do." Crescent said, grasping Ace's collar as he tiptoed to Ace's lips.

When Ace opened his eyes, he realized he had been dreaming all along. He smiled to himself as he recalled a happy memory. He scowled the following minute when he realized that this lovely reminiscence was actually a bitter memory from the past.

"A dream, huh?" Ace muttered to himself.

Sighing, he drew a shaky hand through his hair and walked to the bathroom to take a nice warm shower. Turning on the water, he stripped and stepped into the hot liquid. Sighing, he rested his head back against the wall and felt his sore and tense muscles relax. Despite the fact that the water was warm, he felt cold; there was something in him that could not be warmed physically. Sighing, he turned off the water and pulled on a fresh pair of boxers and his bathrobe.

A few minutes later,

"Good morning, sir," Jane, a woman in her forties, smiled as she prepared the dining table for Ace.

Ace answered to his caretaker, "Morning."

Jane had been in charge of Ace's caretaker for nearly two years and had grown accustomed to seeing Ace's troubled visage. She could easily tell that Ace had gotten off to a bad start in the morning.

"I added a little extra cocoa." As she set the glass of hot cocoa in front of Ace, Jane said

Ace appeared to be lost in thoughts, which Jane picked up on. "Are you okay, sir?" She questioned.

"I'm fine," Ace responded in a flat tone, then closed his eyes and fought back against the memories that were attacking his mind. He groaned silently, his fingernails clenched in his palm and the memories flowed, lingered, and left an impression on his mind.

No, he needs to get Crescent out of his mind. He blinked open his eyes and reached for his phone. He hurriedly dialed a number from all the list at random.

After two rings, a male picked up, "Hey, I'm surprised you called me first," The male said.

"Can I come over?" Ace asked, getting straight to the point.

"Of course, baby!" The man chirped happily, "I've just finished shooting. Why don't you come over to the hotel? I'll text you the address."

"All right." Ace said as he hung up on the phone. He was puzzled as to why he was so irritated. But he is well aware of the need to divert his attention.

An hour later, in the VIP suite of a five-star hotel,

"Is something on your mind?" One of Ace's lovers asked. The male lover of his is a foreign model. Ace is well-known for having a handful of partners, and this male is one of them.

"Don't worry, I'll help to get rid of your stress. I know how you like it." The male said as he approached Ace with a seductive look in his eyes.

"Really?" Ace asked, raising an eyebrow with an indifferent expression.

"Try me first." The male smirked as he shoved Ace onto the couch and got down on his knees.

He softly brushed his hand over Ace's c**k. Ace sat there motionless, letting the male do his work as the male pulled Ace's zipper down with his teeth.

The male took out Ace's big member and stroked it lightly. Not seeing Ace still showing any expression, the male decided to try a bit harder. He then moved in closer, sucking it a little. Soon, he had the whole in his mouth.

Ace slumped back on the couch, thinking about how his father had informed him of Crescent's return. Ace gazed at the male who was sucking him clean, and Crescent's face flashed in front of his eyes. He despised Crescent with all his heart, but the moment he imagined Crescent sucking him off, he felt his bulge getting bigger.

Ace's reaction made the male pleased as he proceeded to go down on his c**k. Ace, on the other hand, groaned softly as he imagined himself violating Crescent's mouth. He pulled the male's hair, who made a muffled moan with his mouth full. Ace then pushed his c**k all the way down to the male's throat, imagining him as Crescent, as he felt a rush of pleasure over his body. As he reached his climax, he continued thrusting into the male's mouth.

He pushed the male's head closer, causing the male to swallow all of his c*m, before finally letting go of the male's head.

"That was just wow! I love it when things get rough." The male said, satisfied.

Ace just snapped out of his imagination when he received the compliments. He just realized that he had imagined Crescent when he did that just now. Even though he knows he despises Crescent, the temptation to be rough with him and violate every inch of his body gives Ace the chills. That, however, is not as it should be. Why did Crescent's face pop up in front of him?

"f**k!" Ace groaned when he tried to blame his father for reminding him of Crescent. He didn't want to accept the fact that he still desired Crescent.

Ace zipped his pants and got off the couch, and the male companion just stared at him, surprised.

"You're just going to leave me like that?" The male asked. Ace didn't even bother to pay attention to the male's question and walked out of the room.

"Asshole!" The male grumbled with annoyance.

At the office,

Ace didn't have a very good expression throughout the day. Regan noticed his best friend being absent-minded throughout the day but did not say anything in particular because he knew Crescent's return was the reason that Ace was all messed up now. Regan was worried because the mere mention of Crescent gets Ace all worked up, then what will actually happen if they meet.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

Ace glanced at his phone, which was ringing for once, but did not pick it up. He was simply not in the mood to speak to anyone. Regan noticed the phone was ringing.

"Ace, pick it up or put it on silent." Regan said.

Ace grumbled irritably and was going to put his phone on silent when he noticed the caller ID on his ringing phone.

It says, Dad.

He picked it up, wasting no time.

"Hey, dad."

Daniel Elrod, Ace's dad, was sitting in his hall room in the Elrod mansion with his best friend Richard Hart, Crescent's dad, who were sharing drinks.

He greeted his son over the phone.

"Hello, How's work going?"

"It's good, I guess," Ace answered, being unsure because it was not like his dad to ask how work was going.

"It's been a while since you came home, so how about you come over? We have hosted our reunion party as we do every year, so this year, we would like you to join us." His father said.

"Uh but-" Ace was not particularly willing, so he was about to refuse, but his father again interrupted him.

"All right, seeing you next week then." He hung up before Ace could say anything else.

After the call, Ace muttered to himself confusedly.

"He literally saw me two days ago. Why am I getting a bad feeling?"

Regan took notice of his friend's expression, which was not particularly pleasing. He dropped the paperwork he was working on and strolled over to Ace's desk, where Ace appeared to be thinking about something.

"What happened?" Regan questioned, seeing Ace sigh.

"Dad wants me to join the reunion party. I'm not in the mood and he just won't listen," Ace answered.

"Oh, the annual reunion that our parents hold? Maybe Uncle asked you because you've been skipping it for a while." Regan answered and Ace nodded and was silent again. Regan stood silent as well.To be precise, he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, in the Elrod Mansion,

After finishing his conversation with his son, Daniel Elrod said as he hung up the phone.

"Let's just have the two boys meet face to face." Juvia Elrod exhaled heavily.

"Do you seriously believe they'll agree to that?" Richard Hart questioned, unsure of what the answer would be for their children.

"I'm not sure whether or not this is a good idea." Crescent's mother, Fay Hart, spoke faintly.

Ace's parents, Danie and Juvia Elrod, as well as Crescent's parents, Richard and Fay Hart, were currently seated on the couch in the Elrod Mansion's living room. They all had a lengthy discussion over the surprising revelation that one of their children had previously been in a relationship. The parents finally made a decision for their children after much thought. Their decision was to get Ace and Crescent married.

Ace's parents were the ones who came up with the idea. However, Crescent's parents are still debating whether or not to accept Elrod's proposal because Crescent is their only son and making such a major decision in his life so quickly didn't seem right to them.

"Richard, your company requires assistance, and I am eager to provide it, but you are unwilling to accept it for the sake of your pride. As a result, this is how I'm requesting a favor in return. Isn't it going to be a two-way street then? And in exchange, you agreed to give me what I want." Daniel Elrod said after a pause, "Of course, it's our selfish desire to make Crescent my son-in-law."

"When it comes to being Ace's companion, Crescent is the right choice," Juvia Elrod said with a smile. "We would love to have Crescent become a part of our family,"

"Indeed, their marriage will be wonderful news for me, but we must first consult Crescent and Ace before taking any step." said Richard Hart, but Daniel Elrod intervened.

"I really want this buddy, please?" Daniel Elrod asked.

Mrs. Elrod, along with her husband, made a request.

"Even though this was unexpected news for us because we learned about it from the paparazzi, we do want to go along with this, and I can guarantee you that Crescent will be treated with the utmost respect. So, could you please talk to Crescent?" She asked Crescent's mother, Fay Hart.

Richard Hart and his wife let out a sigh. An alliance with the Elrods will undoubtedly benefit their business, but their son's agreement is more crucial. Of course, they'll start by asking Crescent whether he wants to marry Ace.

"We'll speak with Crescent about it, but don't place your hopes too high. Crescent's will is the most important to us," said Fay Hart.

"Of course," smiled Juvia Elrod, "but we'll keep trying to persuade Crescent as well."

"Richard?" Daniel Elrod asked for his best friend's support.

Taking a deep breath, Richard Hart said, "I'll think about it."
