As soon as they step into the office, Kieran wastes no time locking the door behind them with a soft click.
Before Ace can say a word, Kieran turns sharply, closing the distance between them in one swift motion. His arms wrap tightly around Ace's body, pulling him close.
"Oh, Goddess… I really miss you, Ace," Kieran murmurs, burying his face in the crook of Ace's neck. His deep inhale is slow and drawn out, like he's trying to memorize Ace's scent, to take in every bit of him.
Ace chuckles, resting his hands on Kieran's back. "But I'm right here, and I've been right here," he teases, rubbing slow circles over Kieran's back.
Kieran lifts his head slightly, his lips brushing against the side of Ace's neck. "Yeah, I know that," he whispers. "Only… not in the way I want. Honestly, baby, this is the last time we're running around dealing with problems. I swear, I'm going to make sure of it."
