Chapter 1: Fanning a dead Flame

"Yesterday, I ran a movie studio." Avis stated, "I had power! But today, I'm a housewife again. So, if keeping your fat ass alive is my job now, I'm gonna do it." Ace looked at her, giving in.

"Okay, fine. You want me to eat this? I'll eat it."

"GOOD!" Avis half shouted at her husband. Just as he took the fork to eat his steamed cauliflower, Avis hit both her fists on the table before getting up from her chair and shouting "No, I'm not going to do it!" which took Ace completely by surprise.

"What? What?" he asked her in shock, as she walked over to him. She began explaining what her problem was.

"I'm not going to get a taste for what it feels like being in charge, having autonomy for the first time in my life, and then being pushed back into the kitchen. I won't do it. I can't! My head is exploding." Ace never saw her in such a rage,

"What do you want?" he asked his wife. Her answer came fast and straight out.

"I want to co-chair Ace Pictures! You're recovering from a major health scare. Your doctor says you can only work half days. Let me carry what you can't!" Ace looked at her consideringly

"You won't take anything less?"

"No, I won't." she said with self-esteem, looking him in the eyes.

"Okay." Ace said.

"Okay?" Avis asked back in disbelief. He repeated what he said before. Avis pulled up the chair next to her husband to sit down, never letting him out of her sight. When she was sitting, he started talking.

"I saw Meg today. And what you did was amazing. It's a spectacular movie!" Avis never looked anywhere but his eyes, looking at him, trying not to soften. "It's not the movie I would make, but... I think that's the point of this, right?" Avis slightly agreed with him with a very small nod. "You know, ever since this whole thing happened to me, I... I've been thinking differently. I've been thinking, uh... How do I want to leave this world? And... what I want to leave in it. And, uh... I'd have been proud to have released that movie." Avis couldn't believe what her husband just said to her. He was proud of her and her work! She felt tears fill her eyes, tears of movement and happiness. Ace ended his speech with "Now, what do you say? You earned it!"

Avis was touched by his loving words. She stood up, throwing her arms around her husband's neck and kissed him, Ace stood up as well to repay his wifes kiss. While they kissed, Avis tried to remember the last time they shared a kiss. It must've been years, and yes, she missed it! After all, she still loved her husband. When they broke their kiss, Ace apologised to his wife, "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry!" Avis couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and started to weep against Ace's chest

"I'm sorry too." she said through tears.

"I want to make a go of it. I want to try again." he said while both were looking into each other's eyes with love. "I think we still have time." he continued.

Avis was at a point where she couldn't and didn't want to speak anymore. She nodded eagerly to agree with her husband before he pulled her into a passionate kiss. They stood arm in arm, close together. Their kiss began tenderly and slow, until both became wilder and their tongues fought for dominance. After half an eternity, both broke the kiss to catch their breath, but never broke eye contact. They looked into each other's souls. Neither of them had to say a word; they spoke with their eyes alone. A deep look from Avis was enough to tell Ace what she wanted. Ace smiled softly.

That was all Avis needed. She took her husband's hand and slowly led him out of the dining room. Avis occasionally looked back with a gentle but all-telling smile. When they arrived halfway up the staircase, Ace grabbed her waist and turned her around to kiss her. Avis chuckled to his mouth. His left hand lay on his wife's back, while his right hand gently stroked her side as she let out a soft moan. His left hand gilded slowly down to her ass, squeezing it. Avis squealed in surprise. Ace's mouth sucked gently at her neck.

At that moment, Avis realized where they were actually standing. It was the exact same spot where she had sex with Jack. She swallowed as the memories came up. She then noticed that her husband was trying to open the bow on her dress to get rid of it. She liked to have sex in different places around the house. In the past, she and Ace often did it somewhere other than their bedroom. She wouldn't normally mind being shagged here and now by her husband, if it weren't for the scene of her and Jack playing in her mind. She had just got along with her husband and really didn't want to be reminded of her affairs. She wanted to create new memories... with her husband. She wanted to forget the past!

Avis came back to reality when Ace breathed "Oh Avis, I want you." into her ear, which made her shiver. She could feel her knees weakening.

"Darling, let's go to the bedroom. Let's enjoy it and not rush anything." Avis said to her husband with a seductive smile. Ace grinned and lifted her up in his arms, bridal style to carry her into the bedroom. "Ace, you just had a heart attack, and just came out of a coma! Are you crazy?!"

"That short distance won't hurt me. Besides, you don't weigh much, my sweet flower." She had completely forgotten how charming and sweet he could be. She clung around his neck and kissed him. Once Ace laid his wife on their big bed, they broke off the kiss.

Avis brought Ace's lips back to hers. Meanwhile, Ace opened the bow of her dress only to reveal a gorgeous black lace strapless bodice. Her breasts were covered in the finest opaque lace, and just below was a thin line of black silk. Her waist was encased in see-through lace, and from the waist down it was black silk again. The bodice went over her hips and ended about five inches on her beautifully toned thighs. Her stockings were held up by the suspenders attached to her bodice.

Ace kissed her neck before making his way down to her cleavage. He then distributed a kiss on each of her breasts. Avis couldn't hold back a little moan. He went further and began to caress her lace-covered belly with kisses. Avis closed her eyes. He stopped just before her burning central heat to open up her garters. Avis pushed herself up with both her arms and tipped her head back as Ace began pulling a stocking down agonizingly slow. He kissed down her leg as skin was revealed, before doing the same to the other. When Ace came back up to her, Avis grabbed him by his tie and pulled him into a long passionate kiss. She pulled back to hurriedly open Ace's tie and his pants. But he went back to her lips, softly nipping on her bottom lip before kissing along her jawline.

Her moans made him forget himself, and aroused his little soldier. She was completely melting away, wriggling with each kiss and light touch of his fingers while he made his way with his lips down to her neck again. She felt his hands fondling her hips since her bodice was rolled up past her sides, exposing another part of her skin and the lack of panties. Ace found her plump, desperately waiting lips in another sweet kiss while his fingers slid between her thighs, making her gasp aloud with slightly closed eyes.

"Aaaa-cccceee" she breathed. Her voice shuddered as he rubbed her wetness, making him grin as he kissed her neck once again. He added a bit more pressure between her thighs; she squeaked when he found her clit.

" Mmmmhhh " Avis whimpered as a response to his caresses.

Hot , and wet. That's how she felt, and Jesus, her wonderful sweet scent! He recognized her perfume immediately; the same she wore when they met 22 years ago. Chanel No. 5! Her favorite! And it was terribly sexy.

Many times he had told his girls to wear this perfume, so it reminded him of his wife. How many times had he imagined Avis during sex with those girls? Way too many times...

Avis felt like her body was lifting off the mattress she was lying on, she felt weightless and like floating . Her hands tightly held on to Ace's shoulders and her head spun as he kept teasing her with his talented fingers, down at her center. She bit her lower lip, savoring the fast growing pleasure.

Ace devotedly laid atop her, his weight lightly pressing down on her, when she grabbed his shoulders, to pull herself slightly up, and him more down to reach his chest with her soft lips. He froze when she started worshiping his chest with silky kisses. Her left hand was holding on to his shoulder to keep him down atop of her while her right one leisurely glided down his front to his crotch. She felt his arousal clearly under her palm since his pants were as tight as they could get, that the buttons didn't pop yet was a wonder. She swallowed hard, starting to rub him through the disruptive fabric, getting a low growl from him above her as a reward, she grinned naughtily. But to her misery , he narrowed himself.

What's wrong?!

She deliriously raised her head, still in a haze from the building pleasure. Her upper body was supported by her elbows when she brought it up, to get a better look. She saw him finally taking off his pants. Avis smiled and fell weakly back onto the mattress, looking at the ceiling, as she all of a sudden felt his hands on the hem of her bodice just above her breasts before he tugged it down entirely so her body was completely exposed. When he finally got rid of the piece of black fabric, throwing it carelessly away in some corner of their bedroom, he raised her up just slightly by grasping her waist at both sides and pushing her further up the mattress, allowing Ace to crawl between her thighs up to his wife, laying on top of her.

Skin to skin. That's what they both so desperately needed.

Nipping her skin teasingly down with each kiss. Her hand caressed his neck and went up to the little hair he had left, as his hands petted up her bare sides. She reached for one of his hands located at her side, guiding it up to her breast, which Ace gently squeezed.

"Uuuhhh!" she groaned when he bit her neck softly, continuing to gently knead her soft flesh.

Avis was reaching for his throbbing cock, making her husband react with a loud growl. Ace looked her in the eyes, asking for permission to enter her without words . He didn't want to do something wrong. Avis just smiled softly, willingly spreading her legs more for him. He smiled down at her while she arched her back, as he penetrated her entrance with his hard member, guiding it up and down her slit with his hand, until Avis couldn't take it any longer and reached down to slide him into her waiting core. A small, almost inaudibly sigh escaped Avis' lips, as he slid into her, pausing and staying in that position for a few seconds after, before he started with slow moves. Tortuously slow for Avis. Yes, it was real torture.

"Oh, God!" she moaned in response. His moves making her body rock up and down on the bed, his hips pressing delicately down onto hers. His hard dick rubbed her inner walls, and his tip thumped at her inner pleasure spot just so perfectly as if they were made for each other.

"Yes –yes –ooohh-fuck!" she was goaning between thrusts.

Avis threw her arm above her head, trying to grab something, anything while her other hand was on Ace's shoulder, her exquisitely manicured, red nails digging in his skin, as they left visible but weak marks.

Rocking together as one, her hips bucked up to meet his. She felt his breath tickling her breasts before he closed his lips around one of her painfully erected buds, mouning and sucking tenderly.

" Shiiiiiiit !" she howled , bringing one of her hands up to press his head harder against her nipple.

Her lips closing and parting on their own, stifling her cries time after time by biting her lip or by kissing her husband lovingly.

" Ohh , Avis!" he growled into her ear, making her whimper and shiver. His skin was rubbing her clit when he pushed deeper inside her, grinding his hips against her.

She gasped quite a few times before weeping through whispers, "Ohh-Ace-hh … Ohh-fuck … Ohh-yes…ohh-God! Yes!" she quietly moaned to his ear with each deeper and harder stroke.

"I'm –c-cu-ohh- yesss !" she whimpered, now both hands on his back, scratching up and down, leaving red trails, making him groan loudly in response and forcing him to move faster and faster, until she couldn't hold on anymore.

"That's– iiiittt, I'm– CUMMING!" her voice choked after her loud cry.

Her body arced as response to his left hand kneading her right breast and his right hand smoothly stroking her flat stomach, as they kissed each other heatedly. He broke the kiss, licking from between her breasts up to her neck, biting her gingerly before thrusting once more into her, energetically bringing himself to a shuddering climax. He stifled his final growl to her mouth and let himself fall next to her.

Breathing harshly, almost feverishly, both lay next to each other on their bed.
