It was only the rustling sound of the bushes that brought the two out of their passion-fueled haze, making them both jump. With it, Buttercup realized what she was doing and turned a fierce scarlet, but did not move from his body. Ace took in a much needed breath, then closed his eyes and laid his head back against the grass.
"Buttercup, you know this is dangerous." He kept his eyes closed as she laid against his chest, feeling his arms locked around her waist, hands shaking a bit.
"I know..." She said softly, curling up against him, breathing in his scent, which now had male musk mixed in with his smoke smell.
Ace took in a long breath and stroked the small of her back, trying to regain words he had before the girl had touched her lips to his, finding himself unsuccessful. He knew he body was responding to her warm body that was laying over him, but the thoughts of earlier and getting caught came back to haunt him and leave him feeling unsteady.
They laid there for a while, Ace managing to get his hormones back under control in that time and pondering the situation. It was obvious he desired her, for pleasure, if nothing else. She wanted him as well, although with girls, he had trouble telling if she wanted him for the same reason or for something more, the thought of which made his skin prickle in panic. He groaned inwardly as he set her on the grass and jumped up, swaying slightly as he attempted to regain his balance. Buttercup looked up at him with confused eyes tinged with a bit of hurt and rejection. Her look made him soften a bit and his head pound.
"You don't...?" Buttercup started, but Ace kneeled and put a finger to her lips, silencing her.
"Buttercup. What do you want of this?" He asked her, eyes visible over his glasses.
She blinked and stared, unsure of what to say. The only words that came out of her mouth were "You." Ace sighed and got back up, sliding his hands in his pocket.
"You know we'll both be in a ton of trouble if we're found out. Puttin' aside that we're supposed to hate one another, you ain't even legal. I could go to jail for a long time, not like for stealin' shit or pissin' people off like before. They'll say I raped ya." Buttercup shuddered at the word, but kept her eyes on him.
"It wouldn't be like that..." She whispered, but Ace shook his head.
"It ain't supposed to be like this."
"Then why did you keep kissing me!?" She yelled out, obviously hurt.
"You don't think I want ya too?"
His words made her heart jump and her cheeks flush. She looked at the ground as she got up as well.
"So what do we do?" She asked, beyond lost. Hands wrapping around her made her look up at him as he pulled her into his arms, letting out a deep sigh.
"Do you really want this?" He asked and the girl simply nodded, breath short. Everything inside Ace told him to walk away and let it go, no matter what she did, but instead he tangled his hands in her hair and brought his mouth to hers, both of their bodies prickling with desire and arousal. Tears slid down Buttercup's cheeks as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her, never wanting to let go.

He made sure to not move again as he watched the pair kiss in the dark. A very quiet chuckle escaped his throat, knowing he had just found a gold mine of potential. Things were going to change around here and now he had a way to make them work in his favor, possibly permanently...
