Chapter 12

-Jace-

Jace moaned out as he came to, the instant slap of rejection hit him square in the face. He could hear Shayla was awake by her breathing, yet she continued to lay there in the dark,

He couldn’t remember if she had blown out the lamp or it had just burnt away.

“Shayla?” He waited for her to reply but it didn’t come. “Why? Why would you rather do it alone than with me; don’t you get it you could die if you do?”

“I__ I can’t make you be with me Jace, if all you see is a girl who Bianca ruined.”

He could hear her voice beginning to clack as she spoke the words, he could hear her attempts at staying strong and failing.

Jace sat up and stared at her in disbelief.

“What the fuck__ you’re freaking kidding me right?” Jace crawled to her side. He flinched when she didn’t acknowledge him, so lost in the moment before he thought about how stupid that was and relit the lamp.

“No Shayla, never, do you hear me!” He wrapped his hands around her face threading his fingers back into her hair.

All the cuts had healed now so he had no fear of hurting her there as he forced her to look at her. Her eyes were glassy as she threatened to cry.

“Shayla, baby never could you be ruined in my eyes, I said it to Bianca in frustration because she did this to you so Flynn wouldn’t like you. But you, you are the most beautiful, sweetest heavenly creature I have ever set my eyes upon. Even if your hair was blue Shayla, I would still count myself the luckiest man alive to know you, just to hold you. I am so fucking in love with you Shayla. Every single time I set eyes on you my heart stops and beats faster both at the same time. Every single time you touch me I feel a fire burn so deep inside me I can’t think straight and I can’t breathe. I need you do you hear me Shayla, without you I am nothing, shit ask Flynn and Bianca, I suck without you. There is no pretending now Shayla, I love you. I loved you then and I love you now and until I die and if there is anything after that___”

“You will love me then.”

“Yes Shayla I will love you then.”

Tears sprang to her eyes.

“I love you too Jace but when you said I was ruined and you didn’t take it back and__” Shayla gasped fighting her tears as she babbled on.

“I was an idiot baby a really huge freaking idiot; can you do something for me Shay?” She nodded.

“Shut up and Kiss me.”

 

Shayla smiled, leaning toward him, the last thing Jace wanted was tender, he pulled her toward him crushing her lips to his, he hungered for her his feelings open to her to know, feel. She tasted so dam good, Jace moaned taking her tongue and twisting it with his own.

“Oh god that was good.” Jace gasped fighting for air. “I think I am beginning to understand what the hell Flynn is trying to tell me about mates’ and__ Shayla grabbed him and kissed him again.

This time it was slower hotter like a smouldering fire. Igniting and building within. Jace deepened the kiss threading his fingers into her hair. His head buzzed like he was alive for the first time in days. Jace needed to be closer to her, needed to feel her body against his own. Without letting go she pulled her body over his as if she was reading his mind. The blanket fell away leaving them with only the clothing they wore between them.
