His brown curls are nonetheless damp from the bathe, they usually have been swept again from his face within the hottest fucking manner I’ve ever seen. And to prime all of it off, he’s solely sporting a pair of sweatpants.

I stare at his sculpted physique. On the lone drop of water that runs down from his hair, over his neck, after which down his naked chest. On the completely sinful V that disappears down into his pants.

Warmth pulses by means of me.

“Ah,” Jace says, sounding completely too happy with himself. “I see that you simply’ve lastly discovered one thing attention-grabbing.”

With nice effort, I tear my gaze from his physique and snap it again as much as his face. Then I arch a pointed forehead in silent query.

He simply shrugs casually as he saunters in the direction of me. “You solely informed me to bathe. You didn’t specify that I needed to placed on a shirt afterwards.”

His eyes glint as he closes the gap between us till he’s standing so shut that my again is pressed towards the bookshelves behind me. He trails two fingers up my throat earlier than putting them beneath my chin, tilting my head again in order that I meet his gaze. Lightning skitters throughout my pores and skin at his contact.

“And now that you simply’re correctly distracted,” he begins, a depraved smile on his face. “I can lastly trick you into answering my questions. Specifically, how are you right here? The place is your new bodyguard?”

An identical grin spreads throughout my very own mouth as I give him a realizing look. “Oh, he’s most likely nonetheless ready for me to return out of a café restroom.”

Jace raises his eyebrows in shock.

I chuckle. “Oh, I’ve pulled that very same trick on at the least half a dozen bodyguards earlier than you.” I slim my eyes at him. “Although nobody else has been as annoyingly perceptive as you.”

I can virtually see Jace’s ego inflate. However earlier than I can poke a gap it in once more, a severe expression blows throughout his options, and he research me with intense eyes.

“However I believed…” he begins after which trails off earlier than ending with, “while you didn’t reply my calls or texts.”

Slipping a hand into my pocket, I pull out the brand-new cellphone that I needed to get after Dad confiscated my previous one. Jace glances on the cellphone, and understanding floods his face with out me even having to say it.

“Oh,” he says.

“Yeah.” I slide my cellphone again into my pocket. “And I couldn’t precisely discover your cellphone quantity once more by simply looking for it on Google. Because you’re… nicely, you.”

He grimaces. “I used to be fearful that you simply blamed me for screwing issues up for you and getting you caught with one other overbearing bodyguard.”

“Why would I blame you for that? I’m the one who steered that we should always begin relationship though you had been nonetheless working for my father.” I roll my eyes at his silliness, and slap his chest with the again of my hand. “Moron.”

A relieved snicker escapes his lips. Then that seriousness returns, and he searches my face once more. “So, the place will we go from right here? You’re nonetheless caught with a brand new bodyguard who will shoot me on sight.”

“Yeah, Dad is… type of pissed.”

“Sort of?”

“Okay, very pissed. However that’s most likely as a result of he really noticed us bare like that. If he’d simply heard about it, he wouldn’t be practically this livid.”

“Thank hell he didn’t stroll in once I had you bent over that desk then.” His eyes gleam with mischief. “Or while you had been crawling as much as me bare.”

Mortification crashes over me at simply the considered my dad seeing that. “Oh God. I believe I’d’ve shot myself if he had seen that.” Shaking my head, I shove that horrifying thought apart. “Anyway, sure, he’s indignant proper now. However it’s going to go. After which we are able to begin relationship publicly once more.”

“And till then?”

“Till then, we’ll should hold our distance. We are able to speak on the cellphone, however I can’t sneak off to see you. It’ll solely work towards us.”

He heaves a deep sigh and rests his brow towards mine. “Fuck.”

“Are you…” I start. My coronary heart is immediately slamming in my chest, and I flex my hand nervously. “Are you okay with that? I imply, I do not forget that you informed me that you simply’re often fairly… uhm, energetic.”

Jace frowns down at me, confusion evident on his face.

“So, we don’t should be unique throughout that point in the event you don’t need to?—”
