~You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter/You are the best thing that's ever been mine~
I heaved lowering myself shakily down on the bath's ledge a cheeky grin on my lips. His words 'you're going to pay for that' bought a shiver to me not I worry but pleasure. I mean he loved me! I was his fiancé! A huge grin spread along my lips as the words hit, loving the sound. Emily Indigo. I knew I was hideous as my hair and clothes clung to me like a second skin, but I didn't feel it. For once I actually felt beautiful, special and worthy as Jace always made me feel.
I sat for moments letting Jace's words play over and over wishing I could have tapped it to hear them constantly play, though it seemed I'd have him to remind me.
Although I still had the slightest of doubts; he could change his mind later on, find something or someone new and better, but until than I'd spend as much time as possible with him until he grew old and tossed me aside.
We had a lot of time if we were spending the night at this hotel. My eyes lit up as I finally looked around. Everything was either gold or marble and it was huge! The vanity held two sinks of marble and gold with a classy mirror that took up the entire wall with chandelier wall lights. The shelf contained so many necessities, not just the usual soap, shampoo and conditioner. No, there were razors, body washes, gels, moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliates, washers, shower caps, sea sponges and many more other toiletry items. Not one of them cheap either, they were all good and expensive looking quality items.
"Em!" I jumped startled as instantly the hole in my chest began to ache and protest. Just on the other side of the door.
"Yes?" I asked softly my voice I knew would shake if I spoke any louder.
"Toiletry bag." He said gently as I smiled to myself; such a thinker, a gentleman. Opening the door in the slightest I stuck my hand out as he placed it in my hands. I closed the door unable to speak knowing that I'd never go off and shower if I opened my mouth.
Turning back I took down a thick plush towel of white Egyptian cotton and turning on the bath. The bath was almost a Jacuzzi, you could fit more than eight people in, it was a triangular nestled in one of the corners of the huge bathroom. And this bathroom wasn't even the main bathroom! The shower and bath/spa were both crazy! There were so any features, buttons and jets I was afraid of touching anything. Glancing around further my eyes bugged at another door, two actually. Peering inside both I found one male toilet and one female and it made me giggle to think some people actually feel the need to have separate toilets. God! I hadn't seen this place on the way up but just by seeing the bathroom I knew it was ritzy; the classiest, dearest and probably the best accommodation place within Canberra or maybe even the state. Who knew?
And Jace was paying for it! I felt guilty but a smile crept on my face; I felt like a princess!
Getting out I wrapped the towel around me. I had absolutely soaked and pampered myself. I'd even lit the candles that surrounded me, put in some essences and bath rocks and cleansed every part of my body with my full attention I felt so soft, clean and warm.
After blow drying my hair I put myself in my purple lingerie set. What? After she mentioned my scars and Jace not wanting me I needed something to make me look beautiful at the time. So buying it I had chucked it in my toiletry bag as it was on top of my bag.
But now putting it on all soft and pampered I didn't look beautiful I felt it. The bra was a deep purple set with black lace trimming and soft scattered dimonties along the frill, it dipped down low, my panties were just as daring and sexy.
I instantly felt sick as I realized I didn't have my bag of clothes nearby and I realized that was part of Jace's revenge tactic. I bit my bottom lip knowing I could let him win entirely and I wasn't stepping out there in just this, with these scars. Instantly my self-esteem came crashing down. Frantic I glanced around until my eyes landed on it. Hanging on a hook was a silk bath robe of a pearly white that came mid thigh or maybe a little higher. It was still a bit racy but hey it was an improvement. Pulling it on I tied it up feeling more comfortable.
Stepping out I followed the hall my mouth agape as all these expensive artworks hung on the walls.
I didn't know where I was going but it felt as if I did. There was some form of a pull that tugged me telling me he was nearby, my body warming and tingling as I came closer, my heart in my chest picking up as I heard his voice.
And there he was in a bedroom, our bedroom? I didn't know and honestly I didn't care. I didn't even glace around my eyes were on him. He was in a fresh set of jeans and a plain t-shirt his hair all ruffled and all I wanted was to dig my fingers into their depth. He stood on the phone oblivious to my presence, his back to me. I leant against the door frame trying not to listen, waiting.
It was absurd that this gorgeous guy in front of me was my fiancé and yet I didn't even have his mobile number. Was this too fast? No, I knew Jace was all there was for me, the only one. It was like everyone was polluted oxygen but his was fresh and pure. His was my everything and I never knew what I did to deserve such a god. Sometimes I believe we're going too slowly but really that's just my hormones flaring.
"No we won't be there tonight, maybe tomorrow." His voice bought me to the surface. Was he talking to his parents? "Why? Um something popped up." He said avoiding answering it directly.
I blushed guiltily; absolutely acted irrational. I thought it was for the best and now his parents had to put what they had planned on hold...ugh, idiot. I felt so bad, I despised myself for it.
"Yea okay, love you too mum." He said easily and hung up.
"Sorry." I whispered as it held so many meanings; sorry I'd listened in, sorry about screwing his parents over, sorry I ran, sorry I'm not good, just sorry for everything.
He jumped startled and in a flash he was by my side and scooping me up "God baby that was far too long." He murmured kissing my hair and cradling me to him "Felt like you were gone for an eternity." He said pain stricken. I nuzzled up underneath his neck inhaling his strong woodsy scent "Sorry for what?" he finally murmured softly rolling his fingers through my hair.
"For screwing up today and messing with your parents plans." He held me tighter.
He didn't say anything though I knew he wanted to, anxious I searched his emotions that also ran through my blood; there was anxiety, confusion and pain, so much pain. I frowned deeper utterly perplexed as he softly carried me down the hall. I wanted to remove every ounce of these emotions so I nuzzled deeper underneath his chin burrowing in his warmth. I felt blanketed and so safe against him, I was content enough to sleep, and it was so magical.
I could hear the crackle of something and I pulled my head up reluctantly but curiously from him to glance around. I gasped softly as stunned as my eyes stumbled around. I felt as if I was a celebrity, a millionaire, royalty. Jace eased us down on some form of a lounge and instantly I leapt up spinning on the spot to analyze all. We were in a lounge room that was utterly beautiful, I felt out of place. I stood on white carpet as fluffy and as soft as a cloud, my feet sinking into its pure blissful caress. The walls were all different. The right side was black where an open stone fire sat crackling, the flames licking as colors danced, above the mantle sat a couple huge black and white photos on canvas one of a close up of a lily and others of beautiful setting that took your breath away. I could have stood there all night noting all the art features and beauty. Instead I looked out right in front. There were deep black curtains pulled shut along the entire wall the floor rising into floorboards before it. What was behind it? On the left side was a white wall the top left corner the door to the hall where we'd come through. The lounges on all three sides of me were white leather with a dozen of cute little decorations pillows and a glass coffee table sat in the middle with candles along it. The back wall behind Jace also white was scattered with artwork though again on the left corner wall was a door also leading somewhere. I was mesmerized. So stunned I felt numb, speechless and distant.
It was Jace's warm soft breathing from behind me still on the seat that bought all my attention back to him, where it belonged. Without a thought I leapt into his lap and nuzzled back in against him were I knew I belonged. Like always I was baffled at how perfectly we fit against each other. Softly Jace ran his fingers through my hair as I waited for him to talk determined he'd break the silence.
Minutes ticked by the silence comforting though slightly frigid as we both held back stubbornly which made me smile knowing that if in fact we did both spend our lives together forever than some moments will be very interesting and later on amusing. I bit my bottom lip biting back a giggle. I could feel his gaze on me as I looked at the fire avoiding his gaze as I knew s soon as our eyes would meet I'd cave.
Moments ticked by and then "God Em, I mean I can watch you until the day I die, but not like this, please tell me what I did wrong." He cried the silence breaking.
My smile vanishing "What you did wrong?" I mumbled my brow furrowed looking down utterly stumped.
"Yes me." he said tucking his finger under my chin and tilting it up our eyes meeting "What I did to hurt you and make you run away." He said his voice anxious and hurt. He blamed himself.
My bottom lip trembled as I averted my eyes knowing I'd hurt him o badly the guilt and stupidity at my actions rushing though me. Was it stupidity? He had obviously had no idea what the letter meant or he'd know, or was he acting? "Shhh. Oh baby I'm so sorry." He said his voice utterly shattered.
I shook my head still in his hold "It wasn't you." I sobbed glancing back up wanting to avoid the oncoming slaughter of tears.
He frowned slightly than his body tensed beneath me his eyes turning, his anger clawing out from him fiercely "Who hurt you?" I exhaled a shaky breath hating that it was me that had created this mess as I closed my eyes avoiding his dark gaze. There was a pause than Jace slightly relaxed "Em beautiful please can you tell me?" he whispered softly his voice back to calm as reassuringly he kissed my closed eyelids comforting me.
I nodded weakly "I went to the mall early." I whispered lowly though I knew he'd hear my words "And I was in a shop trying on...never mind." I said pausing and letting it run unfinished "Anyways when I was in the change room someone came in." I said quietly Jace again stiffened in anger, picking up his free hand I kissed it gently bringing my Jacey back "It was a her." I said relaxing him.
He glanced down at me "Are you telling me why you fled was because of a girl?" he asked slowly making me nod mutely "Are you telling me you're gay?" he asked astounded.
I bursted into fits of giggles "No!" I cried clutching my sides as he watched me startled, relived and amused "Though I bet you'd love that; a threesome."
He growled softly startling me though I quickly eased back into giggles "I am not sharing."
My giggles died off loving in an odd sense his possessiveness; I nuzzled up underneath his neck sighing "You don't have to." I whispered and beautifully he stoked up and down my back obviously pleased by my response.
"What did she do?" he asked me softly.
I pursed my lips hesitating unsure of how to explain it from here on in and more anxious of discovering if any was true. "She uh" I paused and swallowed harshly fretting I'd combust into flames "Well she told me..." I said struggling.
"Em." He said his voice strained thinking the worse. Or did he know he was caught out?
Oh god.
"I don't know how to say it!" I admitted he kissed my ear encouragingly "She said that you were using me." I said the words thick with emotions as they tumbled out "She said that I was one of your many toys you'd use and toss aside." I said in a rush feeling small as I waited for his response.
"But I'm your mate Em, how could you have doubted me so?!" he cried hurt by my distrust.
Suddenly I felt stupid and highly ashamed only escalating my anger and defensiveness "Apparently. Though I asked her" I said getting up off his lap before he could respond facing him my arms folded and my hip jutted out "And she showed me that she had the exact same mark that was apparently only our mark." I said gesturing between the two of us the distance feeling extensive.
Jace's bright green eyes popped out of their sockets "No way. You can't have more than one mate!" he cried as if what I was suggesting was utterly stupid "You only have one mate that you're bound to." He said as if it was obvious and I had gone crazy.
My eyes narrowed in the slightest "Though according to her you guys don't need your mates even if I am. You don't need to love them and they mean the same as any other random stranger." I said my hurt starting to seep through.
His eyes than also slightly narrowed just as defensive "And who is this girl?" he demanded his anger clear and hot almost making me won't to recoil except I was just as angry.
Though I was angry at myself as I realized I didn't know anything about this girl "I don't know." I admitted realizing I had no proof.
He laughed darkly no humor in it "So you'd believe her over me! A stranger over me?!" he cried.
"She had an identical mark! How do you explain that?" I demanded throwing my hands up in the air "Besides Jace" I continued before he could answer "what do you seriously expect from me?" I asked my voice falling becoming small and weak again as I collapsed on the couch across from him "I am no werewolf, I'm not strong, confident and I'm not...good enough. I'm already in shattered pieces being just used and abused again would be the end of me." I whispered pulling my knees up to my chest hugging them to me as I buried my tear stained face in my knees the tears falling onto my skin.
I could feel the couch fall in more as slowly and softly Jace lowered himself down beside me his arms wrapping around my huddled figure "Is that what it is baby? Are you afraid that I'd leave you? That you aren't good enough?" he asked gently.
I turned my head from my knees "Won't you?" I asked my voice croaky as tears still fell.
Gently he wiped the tears away with his thumb "I would never leave you Emily. You are my destiny, my mate."
I looked down "Not officially you haven't bonded with me." my voice unable to hold back my bitterness about it.
"Is that what made you doubt me?"
"Why didn't you bond us? Am I that disgraceful?" I asked my voice breaking terribly tears spilling still.
In an instant he picked me up cradling me to him tightly "God no sweetie. No, oh god sweetie." He said in my hair "I hadn't, we hadn't, bonded because I didn't want to rush it. To scare you." He said softly his fingers pulling though my locks.
"And you still want me even though I am scarred? Even though I am no werewolf?" I asked him still tentative to believe.
"Baby that only makes me love you more. You're the only thing. I will never let anyone hurt you, I swear to protect you." He said gently.
I pulled back to glance at him "So you swear you'll never leave me, ever?"
His eyes softened "I can't Emmy. I need you." I closed my eyes as all this weight lifted suddenly off my shoulders "I don't think you realize how much." He said softly his forehead leaning against mine.
"I just don't get why me." I said honestly.
A growl escaped the back of his throat softly "Why not?" he demanded.
"I'm not strong." I stated obviously "Not good enough."
Jace kissed my cheek tenderly "Sweetie you are definitely strong. You've been through hell and back and yet you still smile and pull through, you still stand radiating in beauty. Not many could do that after going through what you have. You are ten times stronger than anyone I know." I sighed still feeling petty and insecure compared to Jace "You're so strong, smart, courageous, funny, talented, patient and open minded and you're so beautiful that no matter what you do you always take my breath away." He said softly my body so warm and light. He laughed weakly "Hell I question myself as to how I got such a beautiful woman." I smiled slightly as he brushed my hair behind my ear. I leant in against his warmth and touch sighing as our noses touched "I love you Em." He whispered making me catch my breath as it felt like I was zapped by lightning and tossed over a cliff feeling so buoyant and alive.
After a while of silence I spun around completely on his lap so I was straddling him. Brushing a curl behind my ear I glanced up at him feeling highly small "Are you mad at me?" I asked softly my voice making me sound even weaker. I hated that.
His eyes softened "Course not baby. I just....I just can't believe you doubted me, that you'd run." He answered honestly his honesty nothing but brutal.
I looked up at him feeling the tears coming, I needed to make him see why I freaked and ran "I can't lose you Jacey." I whispered my voice feeble.
"God baby I swear sweetie you won't. It's okay baby." He said in a rush pulling me tightly against his chest as I leant my cheek against his chest as he rocked me back and forth.
"I just...I freaked out and I didn't want to be hurt again so I ran before I could and..." I sobbed babbling.
"Shhh its okay angel, I understand."
"I can't lose you." I sobbed admitting my weakness "I can't."
Jace held me fiercely almost protectively as if he was shielding me from all harm "I promise you Emmy I am never going to leave you." He whispered kissing my hair.
I nodded weakly sniffling "Sorry." I gasped wiping my eyes lamely.
"Shhh. It's alright." Jace soothed again kissing my hair "It's alright now. I've got you." He whispered into my hair. I nodded pressing the side of his hand against my cheek loving the warmth and buzz.
"Why would she lie?" I wandered out loud breaking the silence later on as I thought of her randomly invading my privacy, knowing my name and Jace's and also that he was a werewolf and so set on breaking us up.
"What did she look like?" he asked softly. And I knew he'd be determined to figure it out and track them down.
I shrugged miserably "She was beautiful. Most beauitfulest girl I've ever met." I admitted "She was about our age, platinum blonde hair and blue eyes and red lips...though she was wearing lipstick. And she, well she had legs and a bust Jace! She was seriously stunning." Jace growled as he tensed beneath me "You know her?!" I exclaimed "Well she did say she was one of your many girls." I mumbled jealousy clawing my insides.
He growled again "Em." He said through his teeth.
"What? I totally understand if you have had your fair share of girlfriends and experience." I said my voice still slightly bitter as I tried to hide it.
Jace sighed "Em." He said softer.
"No truly I get it. I mean it's you Jace, it's expected and all and it's none of my business." I babbled taking a deep breath.
Before I said more though his hand clamped down over my mouth "Em." He said his mesmerizing eyes staring into mine seriously and intently "I've only dated bits and pieces, not much." He said softly than he tore his gaze from mine all of a sudden distant and timid "I uh...um. A virgin." He murmured quickly and not in proper sentences. My eyes lit surprised "I know I s-" he began.
"Really? Why? I mean I know girls would have uh, wanted to...so why not?" I asked shocked and curious.
"Baby I'm being dead serious when I say I've been waiting for you my entire life." He murmured as my eyes softened filled with adoration and love. He'd been saving himself for me...waiting for that girl which turned out to be me miraculously.
"Whole time?"
He shrugged "I've dreamt of the day I'd find you. I'm ever so lucky I did. Some never meet their mates." He said seriously as his gaze held mine nothing but loving and a beautiful embrace.
And sitting on Jace's lap I couldn't imagine the feeling of those who never met their mates; their other half. It was as if my heart transformed into a brick as I tried to picture a life without Jace, and I knew that I could never go back, it was too late. I couldn't not since I'd met Jace. It was either with Jace or nothing at all.
Jace's finger sliding down the side of my face bought me back to the present where Jace was in fact here and mine. "So who's this mystery girl?" I asked breathlessly as Jace studied me as if I was some form of a masterpiece.
He sighed "I think" he began very limited skepticism in his voice "I think it was Clara." He said.
I frowner questioning whether or not he actually thought I knew the person accused. Clara. "Another flame eh?" I teased trying to lighten the mood "Miley, Clara...who is next?" I said loving how he growled as I ticked them off innocently except for my teasing smile. His growl always low and slightly rusty and deep creating goosebumps and heightening my need terribly. It was just so damn sexy!
"Em" Jace warned.
I bit my bottom lip batting my eyes innocently "What?" he sighed in mixture of frustration and desire as I let a giggle escape my twitching lips. His eyelids tore back to study me "Why does that frustrate you so?" I asked kneading the palm of his hands in mine softly but slightly firm like a massage.
"I don't know." He said sighing "It makes me feel sick. Cheating or being with another woman bar you. It's not right. The possibility of me being unfaithful or hurting you disgusts me. terribly." I smiled unable not to feel warm by his utter devotion and gentleness. A true prince charming. Warmed I kissed the palm of the hand I held making him smile as I continued massaging watching my fingers that out his big and tense hands, they were slightly rough though holding and touching me they were only soft and warm.
"So who's Clara?" I questioned interested.
He sighed as the conversation came back "She is in my pack." I nodded saying nothing but waiting for him to continue "She's a status ladder climber." He said reluctantly "And she's always had an attachment to me." my massaging paused but stiffly I forced myself to continue avoiding the flare of jealousy. "Well more an attachment to my status." So she wanted what I had.
"So how did she know about me?" I asked curiously my mind conjuring scenarios of bugging, stalking or even prophecies.
Instead I got "I told them." I smiled at the lack of creativity and how better my scenarios were which made Jace study me closely confused, curious and amused. "Well I told mum and dad...and a couple others. Though word spread. That would be mum." He said feeling the need to explain.
That reminded me of another anxiety "Jace?" I whispered ever so softly as I glanced down fidgeting with his fingers.
"Mmmm?"
"Your parents, they didn't have anything major planned that I screwed up?" I asked thinking back to phone call.
Jace squeezed my fingers in his as he spoke "They were going to keep it simple and small. No loss. Besides when do you ever get to experience such a place as this?" he asked gesturing around us.
I glanced around smiling slightly bitter "Would of cost a fortune." I murmured attacked with so much guilt.
Jace sighed "It's for free. A mate of mine, Jez, owns it."
I nodded interested "A mythical friend?"
He chuckled his chest vibrating against me making me smile slightly "He's a vampire." He agreed.
My eyes bugged slightly as I pursed my lips thoughtfully "Don't laugh." I warned glancing up at him as he held his hands up innocently "But book wise generally don't weres and vampires hate one another?" I asked.
He smiled "Depending on who. It's a lot like humans you either hate them or like them based on their values and lifestyle. Personally I don't mind depending on their lifestyle. Jez drinks from animals or donor blood; he's a pretty good guy from what I gather, filthy rich but good guy."
I nodded and filled the pause "Are...are human mates common?" I asked needing to clear all niggles.
He frowned slightly still sensing my insecurities "These days yeah. I mean, soul mates kind of died off for a while and then picked up again. It's reasonably common; if you are human and mated you should take it as a compliment." I rose an eyebrow up at him "Well it means destiny believes you're worthy and strong enough to become part of our world." I smiled nodding at this warming reasoning and outlook.
Suddenly was lifting me up off the lounge as he walked "I'm hungry. Where's the room service menu?" he asked walking down one of the halls.
"I can walk." I offered as he adjusted his hold on me.
"I am not letting you go," he almost growled against me "Today has been a long day without you. You have no idea how freaked I was. Besides I need to make up for lost time, a lot of loss time." he said with so much passion I thought I was melting.
"Sorry." I whispered kissing the side of his neck making him sigh.
"Its okay baby, I understand and it's all in the past. Just promise me you'll never vanish again, okay? Don't leave me." he pleaded his voice vulnerable.
I ran my nose along his neck as he held me tightly "Promise." I murmured as he sighed in relief as it flooded through me. "How does that work?" I whispered.
Jace sat me down on the kitchen counter putting himself between my legs and still just as close to me "What work?" he asked leaning across me for the leather menu folder.
"Emotions. I mean I can feel what you feel. Is that all or what?" I asked as he glanced up at me over the menu.
"Mate thing. Basically once you find your mate you become one person with another so everything corresponds. So you can sense each other's emotions or say if they're in trouble. It's like instantly you knew each other." He explained "It's not official though that you've found your mate until you touch skin and your mark appears. As you know when you touch skin you will definitely know because it's hard to miss. But usually mates can communicate without needing to talk, like reading minds. But that's if you're both from the fantasy race. Humans and us so called mythical creatures" I smiled at that "well it's hard to know. Some believe that the sixth sense we share may allow communication. Incidents suggest so, though I haven't looked too much into it before. In our pack there are no human mates." He explained simply as if his difference as me being human was something spectacular "Dad thinks that the stronger the relationship the stronger the possibilities." I nodded, it made sense. "Tell you what though" he said watching me intently, warmly, lovingly "it doesn't matter you're human. Trust me. No one cares including my parents."
I laughed weakly "you sure we can't read minds already." I joked lamely making him smile gently knowingly.
"They'll love you. Especially mum. Shoot, mum would love you if you were a goblin or something shocking." He said chuckling making me smile slightly "Really Em she's excited. For my age it's not old to mate but as an only child it made her anxious especially since I wouldn't even really date. A bit of girl power has got her all excited." He said smiling "And dad? Well he's happy for me, wanting to meet you and all." He said shrugging as if he didn't realize his words had put me at complete ease which I highly doubt with the whole sense thing.
He handed me the menu which I scanned, pages filled with fancy and abnormal dish names. Where were the simple? Like burgers. Found it! At the very bottom. "I want the Hawaiian burger." I declared.
Jace smiled "My baby eats!" he declared pleased making me blush as he picked up the phone and dialed his eyes never leaving me as they traced my face filling me with warmth.
"Five to ten minutes." He declared hanging up.
"And you call me speedy." I murmured making Jace chuckle making my own lips twitch.
I sighed in a gush of frustration as my thoughts came back to it again "Whys this Clara girl hate me?" I asked leaning in against Jace's forehead.
"Cause she can't touch this." He teased gesturing to himself as I playfully swatted him though I knew it was true. A jealous girl wanted me out, gone all because she was power hungry. "She just wants the untouchable, the glory, the throne so to say. Especially when I'm next in line for Alpha." He explained.
I nodded "Cause than you'll be in charge."
Jace chuckled tapping my nose playfully "So will you. It's a joint job; you play just as an important role even if you're human." He added as I opened my mouth to speak. I nodded smiling sheepishly knowing he'd just read my mind, not literally but figuratively.
"I don't want to any enemies before I even get there maybe..." I said trailing off trying to think of a way to befriend her.
He growled "No one else dislikes you Emmy. Trust me. Besides if they do or harm you they'll have me to answer to like Clara." He growled.
Making me hastily place my hand over his to soothe him "It's okay no need to d-"
"Em she hurt you. She tried to destroy us and the list goes on. So yes I need to." I nodded reluctantly knowing I couldn't argue.
The door knocked when it reached seven minutes and picking me up again in his arms he moved down the hall to the door as a worker stood with a trolley of food.
Suddenly I realized how embarrassing this was; me in basically nothing pressed up against Jace getting room service late at night. Blushing I buried my face into Jace's neck making him chuckle his fingers in my hair pulling through making me sigh.
"Thanks mate." Jace said moments later the click of the door telling me we were alone again. I lifted my head biting my bottom lip as Jace pulled the trolley with one hand as we made our way back into the lounge room.
"Are yo-" his grip on my waist tightened and I shut up instead bathing in the bliss of his touch.
Collapsing down on the couch again he handed me my burger. It was as fancy as a burger could get; on a plate with chips on the side and some lettuce and tomatoes to dress it up. I picked up a chip and ate it almost groaning. To die for.
"Do you want-" Jace turned back to me holding up a fork and knife but stopping short smiling as I held my burger in my hands a bite taken.
I groaned this time, this was absolutely mouth watering "Try this." I said putting it in Jace's hands still amused as his eyes sparkled "Seriously, it's the best thing ever." I said. He chuckled taking a bite. I waited watching him eat it, taking his time to draw suspense making me lose patience "Well?" I demanded eagerly.
He smiled reaching out and wiping the corner of my lip with his thumb "Second best thing ever." Making me smile goofily up at him and making him chuckle some more as I snatched up my burger again. "Try mine." He said palming over his snitzel burger that I took.
It was just as addictive..."Mine's still better."...but I wasn't going to admit that out loud. Jace rolled his eyes smiling making me smile.
"Hey wolfy?" I asked after we had eaten making him chuckle some more.
"Yes baby?" he rhymed back.
"Why are you in Canberra for anyways?"
He smiled in disbelief and amusement looking at me wide "You of course." He said as if it was obvious. I had honestly hadn't thought to question him until now. My eyes bugged and he answered my second question, or questions "Pine Hills is where the bus stopped. I saw you and knew you were mine and Kane and I caught the bus to see where you were off to. After that I searched the malls in hope to find you shopping for a new jacket." He explained as I kept utterly still and speechless.
"Y-y-you did all that just for me?" I stuttered.
Jace looked me dead in the eyes the intensity and warmth of his gaze filling me with ache and stealing my breath "Em, I'd die for you."
And instantly I felt myself melt on the inside and out as my bottom lip trembled with so much overbearing emotions as we held each other gazes until he wiped underneath my eyes. More tears. He laughed startled "Why are you crying baby girl?" as he wiped more at my face gently with his thumb.
I laughed weakly "I don't know...it's just that..." I trailed off unfinished unable to describe what I was feeling.
"Here, I want to show you something." He said wrapping me closer to him as he stood up.
Walking us over to the big black curtain along the wall I glanced at it waiting with anticipation as Jace flipped a switch and I gasped a shaky intake. There before us stood the city of Canberra. The view to die for, Lake Burley Griffin, Parliament house, the bridge, the mountain and the dazzling lights that danced softly in the starry sky, the huge moon reflecting off the water as it shimmered of a veil of utter tranquility. It was impossible to grasp and describe what stood before me and again I was speechless.
"Now I'm no art wiz but I do know that this here." He gestured to the huge window and all beyond it "Is as good as art gets." He said "But" he said running his smooth fingers along the side of my face making my eyes tear back to Jace "This here is no were near as beautiful as you." He said watching me with pride as if he was awarded the greatest possession possible or something even grander. "For you beautiful." He said sitting in my hand a blue velvet box making me lose all composure, again. Timidly I opened it tears pooling as it glistened at me. My jaw dropped my breath caught. It was stunning. A silver diamond ring, not chunky but not tiny either, but perfect. "Can I?" he asked gently and I nodded urgently wanting nothing more than to be claimed entirely. Ever so gently Jace slid the ring onto my finger "I love you Emily White." He whispered.
I glanced up at him. I had completely forgotten I was his now, after all the other hurdles and discussions but this ring on my finger made me feel cleansed and composed as if a giant white light filled my body beautifully. I felt beautiful and loved as I smiled up at him...my fiancé.
My grin was nothing but goofy, my cheeks protesting as it became so big and he smiled down at me pride and utter pleasure radiating off him. I sat my hands on the side of his face molding it to him. His eyes danced in utter joy as he felt the cool touch of the ring band against his warm and inviting skin. The skin that made me melt as currents surged through me and waves of bliss constantly pulled me under. The skin I wanted to trace all over wanting to learn him inside and out.
Leaning in I kissed him. At first it was a feather light kiss until I realized this was the first time we'd kissed since last night and before all this mess, before I'd become his fiancé, until his taste overwhelmed.
And instantly the kiss became more passionate and slower which escalated its intensity as it became deeper as I pulled him in closer wanting every inch. And in the back of my mind I noted the thud of the rings box as it hit the floor it became even more distant as Jace ran his tongue repeatedly along my lips begging for entrance as I tortuously denied any form of access. Until his hand squeezed my thighs making a gasp of pleasure to leave my lips. If he only moved his hands up further... Jace smiled against my lips smugly as he deepened the kiss until I was losing breath and growing faint.
Tearing my lips from his my breath shaky as I pulled on his hair gently "Hey Jacey?" I whispered in his ear making him shiver.
"Yeah?" he asked his breathing to my pleasure uneven.
"Catch me."
And instantly I was running, tearing down the hall squealing in delight as he ran after me as I dodged his arms. Giggling I tore into our bedroom and straight into the bathroom locking it behind me as I panted in laughter.
Jace pounded on the door making me squeal in a mixture of pleasure, fright and amusement. "I swear if you don't open this door I will break it down." My heart flipped in utter anticipation and with thrills at his threat. I wanted to let him devour me yet I also wanted to tease him. It was silent on the other side of the door as I tried to find a steady breath my hormones scratching my insides aching for him in every way possible.
Torn I opened the door slightly and curled my leg around it knowing that it would torture him just as much as me. I pressed myself closer to the door as he touched me; his fingers running down my leg softly and I thought that was amazing. Until his lips began to suck their way up my leg from my ankle all the way up to where he could reach no more. My head fell back on the other side as I groaned softly his lips leaving a burning trail as his lips sucked and crawled, those lips that were hot and wet and their taste oh so toe curling.
Unable to hold back I threw the door opened and I grabbed Jace by the shirt and pulled him in crushing his lips to mine as he pushed me up against the wall feeling every ridge, dip and crevice against me as my whole body throbbed in need. A rough grunt escaped the back of my throat as he pushed me up even closer to his warmth, like a cocoon, as his lips devoured every inch of mine tasting and tracing every inch as he sucked with his tongue of the inside of my mouth his taste creating an explosion.
"Jace." I panted as I grew faint my knees buckling slightly and in a flash my legs were curled around his waist my fingers curled in his hair holding on for dear life as his fierce, passionate and almost desperate kisses planted along my chin and up my jaw line as I panted breathlessly in his ear. My body throbbing with need as I melted against him. His lips drawing down under my jaw line and down my neck in all the tender and weak places as if my body had marks where 'x' marked the spot to make Emily squeal.
His lips nibbled down along me torturously as I clung onto him like a koala bear. My head fell back in a moan as he hit another weak spot making his grip on my thighs tighten and myself to push closer desperately as silently I pleaded for him to allow his hands to wander. His wet tongue ran from the very based of my neck right up to the bottom of my chin as I clung tighter tugging on his hair as shiver of pleasure rippled along me.
I had no idea Jace was moving until suddenly my back hit the soft embrace of the bed and Jace was hovering above me on all fours trapping me in as both hands and legs sat either side of me. yet being trapped only created a thrill as this was exactly where I wanted to be.
Jace reached for one of my hands that sat tangled in his sweet chocolate hair and planted a loving kiss on my ring finger making my heart flutter as his lips fell back down around my neck and shoulders sucking, nibbling and tracing with his tongue as I melted further into the sheets thinking soon I'd fall through the bed or become one with the bed.
Faintly as I became dizzy my fingers ran up and down his forearms that sat on either side of me propping him above me. Yet that wasn't what I wanted so instead I dragged him right onto me and I could feel his erection right between my legs. Yet before I could even raise my hips Jace propped himself back up above me. "Em...wait...just let me love you." He whispered raggedy against my clammy skin that he was torturing. So all I could do was enjoy it, ache in it and stroke his forearms as that was all I could rub up against as I throbbed for him.
His lips edged down to the edge of my thin satin robe, so thin it could be ripped to shreds with ease. Instead though he reached for its tie around my body making me instantly tense with anxiety "Can't....cant we just leave it on? Or turn the lights off?" I asked my voice almost a plead.
Jace growled "Em I've dreaming about all of you my entire life." He said pausing on the tie "I am never turning off the lights so I can't see you. Ever."
And before I prepare myself or react he eased it off and opened the robe a gasp escaping his lips making me cringe "I know, I know." I said hastily reaching for my robe to wrap back around me "They're hideous." I said knowing I was hideous because of those scars, because of him.
Jace softly stopped my hands from covering me up as he met my eyes "Baby" he began softly my heart in my throat "You're..you're beautiful...breath taking." He said in awe at a loss of words. I paused my insecurities halting and instantly love overwhelmed me. No one was able to look at me and say that. His eyes lowered back down to my bare skin and body his fingers fingering the lace of my bra as he soaked my body up "So sexy." He murmured making me smile softly with an all knew confidence.
I rolled him over so that it was me straddling his waist, his eyes glinting with utter excitement and lust and without a thought I tugged at the bottom of his shirt easing it up off of him. And finally I could let y fingers trace is chest, my breath caught as I discovered his god like body, his chest chiseled and so mouth watering. Running my fingers along his chest I traced his abs and then I kissed his chest letting my lips roam along his ridges his fingers on my back running along my bra's band. Running my tongue from the base of chest right up to his throat I could feel him swallow harshly against me.
His body shifted underneath me as he unclasped my bra and gently slid it off me pulling my arms out as if I was a child, his fingers smooth and gentle. His eyes bored into my body with anticipation as he kept gentle. He groaned closing his eyes as he revealed me above him "Sweetie you are..." he groaned again enough of a compliment for me.
And again I was underneath him Jace closing in over me as he looked into my eyes, his eyes saying it all; love. Gently his thumb ran along my bottom lip making me sigh.
I cried his name as I jostled when his mouth covered one of my breasts sucking on it his lips warm and moist as he sucked on it against the roof of his mouth hard. It was like my soul was being drawn out through it as he continued to suck and trace along me with that damn tongue making my body burn and my back arch up against his hold.
"Jace." I said weakly, unable to tell him I decided to show him as I grabbed his hand and gently grazed it along my body to my other breast that laid neglected. He palmed it making my whole composure shatter as I collapsed against the bed panting. He pinched and traced it with his hand and his mouth toasted every other inch of my other. It was if I was exploding with all these hot sparks and moans. Jace pulled back the slightest his hair still grazing against my skin and than his tongue flicked across the top of my more neglected breast instantly making it stiffen.
He pulled back his index finger running from my throat and down between my cleavage making myself press as close as possible against him. He continued to leave a burning sensation as his fingers continued to trail down my stomach and over my hip.
As he pulled back I couldn't help but whimper "Shhh. It's okay Emmy." He whispered as he bent my legs as he ran his hands along the inside of my legs stopping to kiss at the back of my knees. His fingers lingered along my skin taking his time and teasing. How I just wanted him now, my whole body throbbing in need thinking it couldn't get any more tormenting.
"Baby." He whispered his finger running along in a different angle again and I suddenly realized what he was tracing, my scars. I slightly tensed as he found a whole bunch of new scars though instead of reacting he ran his tongue along one that was on the inside of my thigh running high until it met my warmth. I gasped in pleasure curling my fingers in the sheets clinging on as my hips twitched the slightest his tongue leaving a trail.
His fingers fingered and tugged on my underwear "As sexy as this is...it's nowhere near as the person beneath it all. So..." he said huskily sliding them off, just as tender as he was with my bra, his hands caressing my skin until finally he slipped them over my toes.
Pulling himself back up he grabbed my hand and kissed my palm cradling it to his cheek "Emmy baby this may hurt are you sure?" he asked gently his eyes roaming all over my body. I knew even if I said no it would cause him much difficulty to pull away, it probably would be impossible. I knew it would be for me.
"God Jace stop stalling." I cried wanting him inside me already.
I cried softly as he prodded softly between my folds making him groan as he felt my utter hot wetness, my body tensed as he pulled away my throbbing need harder. And again he softly prodded not even pressing inside of me as he traced my folds making my hips twitch and then suddenly his tongue was than taking over. I jostled beneath him as m fingers dug into his hair as each lick made my hips roll and a moan to escape my bruised lips as I breathed shakily. It was so good yet also so torturous with each toe curling stroke.
"Jace." I panted knowing I wasn't going to be able to take this for much longer, he was utterly torturing me. He darted his tongue inside me and pulled back completely kissing me deeply and fiercely with passion making me lose my breath instantly.
He pulled back "Sweetie this is g-"
"Jace please!" I cried, protested and pleaded in one.
"Relax." He warned softly before slipping his finger inside me making me jostle, tighten and intake a sharp breath. He didn't get far though as my walls tensed around him, Jace reached for my hand and kissed each finger individually calming me as gradually I loosened. He tried to push further as he groaned "Geez Em, you're so tight." He panted his breath scorching my thighs insides. I squirmed slightly unsure as to what I wanted to do; pull his finger out or force it in further. It was a mixture of emotions of pleasure yet pain as his fingers pulled and strained my walls. Jace wiggled in further and waited again for me to relax "That's it." He encouraged as I relaxed around him until he reached as far as he could "Okay baby I'm going to try two fingers." He cautioned as I nodded weakly biting my bottom lip as he pushed another finger up inside of me making my intake just as sharp as his push. I clenched my eyes shut tight the pain eating at me as if it was ripping me from the inside out. "How are you doing baby girl?" he asked gently kissing my eyelids I nodded weakly unable to speak as again he paused. How could something so painful be so beautiful and pleasurable? Jace nibbled on my bottom lip softly as again he pushed his fingers in further my walls looser yet just as or if not more wet and hot. The pain was fading and all I wanting to do was to move, grind, and thrust, to create friction. Without a warning he slipped a third finger up my tunnel pushing with difficulty by the tightness "There." He panted just as bad as me as I began as I laid sweating wanting nothing more than for him to make me scream.
His fingers began stroking my walls making it impossible for me to keep compose or even just catch a breath. And then he nicked it, it was the slightest bump but I felt it as I tensed with reflects making ace freeze as he found the spot. He brushed it again a moan slipping through my heavy lips and he did it again his pace building as my moans of pleasure did also until it got so quick that it built and built getting bigger within me until I explode crying "Jace!" a wave of emotions smashing me over as I panted my breathing ragged and sweat covering me.
My hands moved past his stomach "Em." He warned.
"I just want to...to give back." I gasped wanting to make him feel this good.
He picked up my wandering hand and kissed "Trust me this is more than enough." He said huskily as I continued to pull up and away from him and his fingers until he pulled me back down digging his finger into my spot and pulling me down hard making me come again heaving as my spine shattered all strength almost gone.
I knew if he made me do it again it would probably be it so as he moved within me I shook my head desperately "Please no." I whimpered my eyes clenched shut tight trying to push away the building throb within me "Please." I pleaded making Jace hover over me anxiously "God please don't Jace. I can't, I can't." I whispered weakly as he softly stroked my walls as if it was soothing me "Please." I begged again.
"Hey shhh its okay sweetie-"
But before he could finish my walls tensed around him as I came again crying out his name as I panted heavily. If he kept this up I don't think I could do much more, I was wearing thin. I pulled out his fingers sliding them out against my wetness making me want to thrust as I groaned.
"I love you Em." He whispered and I crushed his lips to mine fiercely overwhelmed with so much love and need. Jace sucked on my bottom lip nibbling on it as he caught it between his teeth.
"Please Jace." I whispered weakly thinking this was as far as I could be pushed "Stop...stop teasing please. I need you." He groaned at that pressing tighter to me.
I could taste him all over me just as much as I could feel him so close and tight. His jeans scratched against my jeans almost taunting me that there was still a barrier. As Jace sucked along my collarbone and neck my fingers trailed down his chest making him push closer his huge throbbing ache pressing against the inside of my thigh. Finding his jeans I slid my fingers below the waist band and out Jace's body tensing each time I did it. "Em." He growled in warning making me smile as I reached for his zipper and pull down his jeans with my feet the thud as they hit the floor sounding like a melody. Again I slipped my fingers under the waist band of his jocks and I pulled them back out tracing down the inside of his thigh.
"God Em." And before I could tease him more he pinned my arms above my head as he looked down at me his eyes filled with torture and need. I looked up at him whimpering as I needed him pressed against me hard and now.
His eyes softened "I know baby. But slow okay?" I nodded beneath him biting my bottom lip making him groan "I love it when you do that. It's so damn sexy." He murmured bending down so he could trace the outline of my lips with his tongue making me sigh as it left the burning sensation along my sensitive lips.
His hands fell down and I was prepared to feel the blissful torture but instead nothing cam, or none came as he moved against me. Looking down I saw him hastily pull down his jocks wanting more.
My eyes bugged as I took in his huge size, I mean I know I haven't seen any others besides on art and that but I knew this was bigger than average, way bigger. And that was suppose to fit in little tiny me? Seeing my alarm Jace caressed my face his lips brushing over mine "Slow." He reminded me softly calming me entirely and replacing me with pure need.
Reaching out I grabbed him his intake shallow as he buried his face in the curve of my neck his breath scorching my skin as my hands ran up along him. He was so large, heavy and thick as he sat heavily in my tiny palm my hand struggling to fit around him. Jace was heaving and my breath was just as shaky, knowing what I wanted most I pulled him towards my centre.
Jace sensing my move grabbed my hips tightly yet not tight enough as he pinned them to the bed. Cautiously he allowed one hand to move and dip into me "God." He heaved as soon as he felt how slippery and hot I was. Sitting that hand back on my hip he pulled back to look at me "It's gonna hurt baby and I apologize. I'll take it slow, I swear." He said.
I couldn't help but get impatient "Jace."
He smiled slightly "I know baby." She said kissing my lips briefly as if he understood how torturous it was.
Pulling back to me I wasn't ready for when the tip of him pressed just the tiniest inside than a bit more of him. It was grueling, he'd have to wait for my walls to relax and accept the expansion and I had to resist the urge of thrusting. Oh but it hurt like hell, like I was getting torn as I clenched my eyes shut. He plummeted deeper as I'd just gained back some form of composure. I groaned a mixture of pleasure and pain as my nails dug into his back, Jace never protesting. I could tell in the back of my mind that tears were falling as Jace licked them away the whole time never tearing his gaze from my face.
He pushed further into me making me whimper "Baby look at me." he murmured gently I shook my head unable to as I felt heavy and weak "Come on." He cooed and I shook my head again. He growled plummeting further in making me scream as my eyes flew opened my gaze finally meeting his as I adjusted panting "That's it." He soothed "I swear I'll never hurt you again."
"Then stop being such a..." I groaned "tease." I panted he smiled chuckling creating friction that felt so good I wanted to thrust.
"God baby you're so tight." He gasped. He was pushing in further when the pain fled to be overthrown with pure pleasure and that damn throbbing ache. I wanted to thrust, scream, and explode. Just do me I felt like screaming.
He growled as I pitifully tried to thrust or at least move the angle with my hips "Baby." I panted "Harder." I pleaded clenching my eyes shut briefly as he delved deeper.
"No Emmy I'll tear you apart you're just so damn tight. Maybe we shouldn't..."
I whimpered as he began to pull out, protesting "Please Jacey." His hands anxiously left my hips as he tried to soothe me. Taking the chance I raised my hips sharply as he plummeted deeply into me making me scream and Jace cry the pain nothing to the pleasure as he pushed further into me.
"More." He growled huskily as he sunk in further delving in my depths. Geez, could I even fit more?! My hips tensed as my nails dug into Jace's back as he pushed further in making the both of us moan in union as Jace again held my hips.
Ignoring his hold I allowed my hips to raise as he slid into me completely at an all knew angle hitting my spot "JACE!!" I screamed as I slumped against the bed as his thick hardness pinned me to the bed. He was fully inside. "Finally...I didn't think...didn't think you'd make it." I panted up against him as my walls began to relax although I knew they were still smothering him.
I went to raise my hips again though Jace halted me making me whimper "Emily White do you want me as your mate?"
"I want all of you!" I cried making him growl as he drove out and drove right into me as I clung on for dear life. He pulled out again but this time as he thrusted I raised my hips at the exact time. It was so damn good, hot and intense as we both moaned and groaned as we grew fainter as the throbbing ball of pleasure grew. The feel of him inside of me amazing as my walls grew tenser and tenser around him as Jace planted kisses all along my body as we moved perfectly together thrust for thrust. My eyes watched as he pulled in and out every time an amazing turn on, until the last thrust.
Jace pulled out of me almost entirely sitting in my highly sensitive entrance, both desperately we thrusted harshly as we both exploded my walls tensing around him and exploding as I repeatedly cried his name and Jace cried mine my fingers curled roughly in mine as. And I thought that was it until he moved just the slightest within me and we came both again crying out as we clung to each other desperately convulsing around him as he convulsed inside of me.
Jace slumped against me his tongue lathering up my sweat with his tongue as we both panted harshly. Wanting him all around me I wrapped my legs around his waist making me shiver as he jostled inside of me.
He pulled me up with him as I clung to him his tongue still lathering up my sweat against my tingling skin with his hot tongue.
I whimpered as he pulled out of me my hips twitching "Baby you're mine." He whispered pulling back to look at me dead in the eyes.
I sighed resting my forehead against his "I know." I whispered.
"No, look baby." He said softly pulling back making me whimper again this mate thing making it so hard. "Shhh." He soothed kissing my lips briefly his lips tasting of his minty taste but also like salt from the tears and sweat. "Look." He gestured down to our mark.
I did, making me gasp. There now sat a black swirl like a vine and attached a rose with the odd stars clinging to the vine's curls. I looked at his hips to see the same mark, our mark. It was just like a tattoo in black. "It's beautiful." I whispered tracing it with my eyes.
Jace lowered himself down and began tracing it with his tongue making me fall back onto the bed his tongue making me groan and my insides squirm already slightly turned on. "I love you." I sighed.
Jace froze tensing against me; he pulled himself back up to me and rolling us onto our sides facing one another.
"What did you say?" he asked me searching my gaze holding his breath.
"I love you." I whispered finally putting my all out on the line.
He kissed me fiercely with passion my hands curling in his hair as he pulled me closer in against him so that we were molded. He pulled back breathless "Say it again." He whispered.
"I love you." He groaned his eyes closing as my head fell in his neck snuggling closer as he wrapped his arms around me.
"And again."
"I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you..."
