Play on (COMPLETED)

Chapter eight

I stir in my sleep, my face buried deep in the chest of the most delicious man in existence. I hear a quiet rumble in his chest, a hushed laugh. Arms tighten around me and I'm in heaven.
"I think your man wants you honey" he whispers, god I hope so.
I sigh and breathe my man into my lungs, I feel so safe. I trust him to take care of me and I fall into a deep sleep dreaming of kisses and marshmallows.

My eyes flutter open again and I see Jace's deep blue eyes staring back at me.
"Hey" he smiles.
"Hey" I grin like a fool.
"Sleep well?" He kisses my forehead.
"I think so, I had this naughty dream of you. My sexy, sexy demon. Your wicked hands.... your wicked mouth" I sigh with my eyes closing again.
"Is that right Angel? You certain that was a dream? I can still taste you on my lips" I hear a smile in his voice.
"Angel?" I mumble.
"You're my Angel Elizabeth, so sweet" he purrs brushing my hair from my face.
"Hmm, I really like dream Jace. I would fall for you so hard, I wish you were real" I smile.
"Wish granted" he chuckles and kisses my lips, they are warm and his face is rough with prickles.
He feels too real and when hands grab my waist my eyes flash open.
"Jace?!" I gasp.
"In the flesh" he teases me.
"You're naked!" I gasp taking in his magnificent body.
"Almost, not a morning person are you honey?" He chuckles.
Everything comes back to me in a flash, tangled bodies, shared secrets, kissing, his fingers oh sweet lord, his reaction to what was done to me.
"And.... we're awake" he laughs taking in my expression.
"Hey" I repeat with a small laugh.
"Hey gorgeous" his eyes shine bright and happy.
"Sorry, I'm not used to waking up with someone" I run my fingers over his jaw and his eyes close.
"You are the only one I have ever woken up with, it gets better every time, fuck I like it" he sighs at my touch.
"Really?" I ask shocked.
"I never have sleepovers honey"
"I'm glad you made the exception, don't worry I won't keep you this morning. I'm sure you have things you need to do" I smile politely, I won't be that awkward girl who doesn't know how to say goodbye.
"Yeah I do, but Beth, would you like to come with me?" His expression is hard to read, he looks both hopeful and fearful.
"Are you in a hurry? Can I think it over while we have breakfast?" I ask to buy some time.
"Absolutely, I'm starving" he smiles.
"Good, do you want first shower? I'll order room service"
"Sounds good" he kisses my forehead again and climbs from the bed and I groan before I can stop myself.
"In and out honey, in and out" he chuckles without looking back and he disappears into the bathroom.
I dash into the other room to use the bathroom in there and make use of the complimentary toothbrush then finger comb my hair. Jace's singlet is long enough to be a dress and covers my exposed ass so I don't bother getting dressed. I order room service and notice Jace's bag on the sofa.
"Jace, I'm not peeking, I'm just putting your bag in here for you" I say as I open the door a crack, my hand over my eyes with my fingers spread wide.
"Thanks Angel, I won't be long" he calls from behind the frosted glass. I can see the outline of his body and my mouth waters.
"No problem" I squeak and close the door.

I plop into the bed with a heavy sigh, he knows my secret. He knows my body. I know I can't control my feelings for the evil bastard, the way my heart picks up an extra beat at just the sound of his voice tells me the truth. I glance to the night stand and see his phone, it's flashing. Fuck, my stomach churns with self loathing as I pick it up.

*****

I'm going to take her home, I have a family lunch today and I'm taking my girlfriend home to my parents. No big deal, everyone does it sometime right? My mother will freak out on her I have no doubt. She knows I have dates but she's never met any of them nor have I ever even talked about a specific girl.
I run my fingers through my hair to set it in place and go look for my woman, I don't have to look far, she's waiting for me on the bed.
"What's wrong honey?" I ask taking in her posture and mood.
"This" she tosses me my phone.
Oh no, what has she seen?
"Beth?" I ask worried.
"You should know this is who I am, I can't help myself" she mumbles not looking at me.
"What did you do?"
Was it ringing? did she answer a booty call?
"Nothing, I couldn't get past your passcode" she shrugs. "But I tried, I saw it sitting there and I think I heard you talking on the phone last night. I don't trust very easy"
"Beth, I won't ever lie to you. If you want to know anything just ask. Yes I was on the phone last night while you were sleeping, Izzy called to check on me, on us really" I chuckle remembering how embarrassed she sounded.
I hand my phone back to Beth, I can see I have unread messages but I don't care, I want Beth to trust me.
"Eleven eleven" I tell her.
"Jace? No don't tell me that" she shakes her head while she unlocks it, surprised when it works.
"That's not very unique, someone could guess that" she grumbles not going through anything.
"It's Lilly's birthday" I shrug.
"Lilly? A girlfriend?"
"My baby sister, a complete devil. You think I'm a demon, wait till you meet her" I laugh.
"I didn't know you had one, that's cute" she smiles up at me.
"I have four, but Lilly is my favourite, just don't tell the others. Before she was born the doctors told us she was a boy, I was over the moon when she came out a girl. I love girls, I always have. My parents only had boy names picked out so I got to name her, I've kinda always thought of her as my own child rather than a sister. I was fifteen when she was born"
"Wow, and I thought you loved Isabel. Iz has nothing on this kid" Beth cocks her head to the side looking at me with some sort of emotion. Love, let it be love, please.
"Feel free to delete any messages that don't seem to be work related or from Coop, Iz or Cole but use your discretion for the last one" I say walking out into the room.
