Play on (COMPLETED)

Chapter seventeen

I wake hot, arms and legs wrapped around me and big hands holding tight to my ribcage. I smile as I open my eyes, Jace is sleeping. I've never seen him sleep, he is always awake before me. He looks adorable, his face just inches from mine and his face is soft and relaxed. I try not to move knowing instinctively that I will wake him if I do, so I just take the opportunity to look at him without him knowing. His lashes are long and curled, thick and black. I would kill for those lashes. His dark lips are full, slightly parted and I know from experience very soft. I resist the urge to kiss them, his nose is slightly crooked like it's been broken and his jaw is strong. He is all man, individually his features could be feminine but all together on his face he is pure masculinity.
"You like?" His lips move and a low deep mumble comes out.
"Very much" I smile and blush embarrassed to be caught staring.
"Good" he smiles and opens his eyes.
"How did you know I was awake?" I giggle.
"Honey, I know when I'm getting a good eye fucking" he teases with a light kiss on the lips.
"Oh you do? That's the first time I've been caught" I smile smug.
"No, that's the first time I've called you on it" he bites my lip.
"You sleep well?" I change the subject?
"Yes very, last night Angel, that was unbelievably good. This is so good, coming home to you, to a warm bed, making sweet sweet love. I'm in heaven Angel. You are my heaven" he is serious and sincere, wow I was expecting just a grunt or maybe a yes thank you.
"For me too, this is heaven for me too" I swallow.
"I never want this to end, can I come back tonight?" He asks kissing my face.
"Why not just move in?" I sigh content and happy.
"Don't tease me Beth" Jace groans
"I'm not sure I was, want me to make you breakfast this morning? You can lay in, rest a little" I ask running a hand through his hair.
"No, breakfast is mine. I like cooking it for you"
"Don't burn yourself out for me, you look tired. What do you have planned today?" I ask with a frown.
"Let's see, this morning I'm making breakfast for my beautiful girlfriend, then I have some work to do, I will be going into the bar and sending off some emails, signing paperwork and doing some banking, then hopefully my girlfriend will be available for lunch. I'm thinking of bringing lunch to her and making use of that super comfortable couch. Then I'm heading to Coop's to work out, shower and back to work before coming right back here where I started, in the arms of my angel" he tells me with a smile.
"Sunday and Monday you are not lifting a finger, understand me? I'm making you breakfast, possibly in bed. We have lunch Sunday with the family and you can just sit and chat, no cooking or cleaning. I'm calling in a personal day Monday and we are not moving from whatever bed we happen to be in, I will tie you down if I have to" I tell him serious.
"Elizabeth, I didn't know you were kinky" he grins
"That's the only thing you took from that?" I roll my eyes.
"Better hope you can tie a good knot, if I get free I might just tie you to the bed" he purrs playfully in my ear and my heart pounds in my chest, not in a good way.
"Sorry gotta pee" I rush out pushing him off me and race into the ensuite before I break out in a panic attack.
I crouch against the closed door and hang my head in my hands. It's Jace, he would not hurt me. He is not him, he is not him. Just breathe. I wipe at my eyes angrily, I'm so stupid. We were having a good moment, everything was good. Why do I have to fuck it up?
"Angel? You okay honey? I said the wrong thing didn't I?" Jace asks gently on the other side of the door.
"I just need a minute, I'm sorry" I answer with as much forced sanity as I can muster.
I go to the basin and wash my face. Never again Reynolds, do not let this man see you crumble. It's over, it's been over for years, move on. I dry my face and practice my smile in the mirror.
When I open the door Jace is sitting on the end of my bed waiting for me fully clothed, suddenly my nakedness feels uncomfortable and I reach for the robe on the back of the door.
"I'm so sorry Beth, I just didn't think" he tells me with sad eyes.
"Don't apologise, you were following my lead. I started it, you should be able to joke playfully with your girlfriend. The thought of that doesn't terrify me I promise, the words just caught me off guard that's all. I like the thought of playing with you" I smile and step forward to him with my wrists together like I'm waiting to be cuffed.
"Are you trying to be brave for me?" He raises a brow and cuffs me with his hands.
"No, I am brave. For me and for you" I correct him with conviction and I smile at myself , I could almost believe me.
"Good girl, now kiss me" he breathes and holds my hands around my back so I'm pushed against his chest, he kisses me slow and tenderly.
"Were you really freaking out about the kissing text I sent you yesterday?" I giggle remembering.
"Yes I really was! It's not funny, I had no idea you were talking about puppies" he grumbles.
"Jace, my head was spinning for an hour after that kiss you left me with. Surely you don't think I could go kissing someone else after that?"
"Well I didn't till I got that text, by the way what happened with your supervisor? Did you get a promotion? Should I bake you a cake?" Jace asks excited for me.
"The reason I was getting chased after yesterday was because he hadn't done his job and was going to miss his deadline, he wanted me to do his job for him as well as or in place of my own work, Becky the girl who was checking you out gave me the heads up. I locked myself in the office and pretended I was in a meeting, finished my work, submitted it and bailed before he got the chance to offload it to me. Becky texted me after she finished saying Mark was called upstairs and no one saw him after that, he was on his final warning. I'll get back to you on the cake, I haven't heard anything yet but I'm next in line so?" I shrug, it feels good to tell someone other than my plants.
"Good for you honey, he sounds like a dick. Looked like you enjoyed your afternoon of freedom in any case" he kisses my jaw smiling.
"It's just something I do when I'm feeling sad or angry or guilty or like I've given up on the human race. Dogs are always just happy for the company you know? They don't care what I've done or what's been done to me, whether I'm a size two or a twenty two, they don't care if my hairs done or I have makeup on. If I show them some love I get some back, all those puppies in the shelter live most of their days in a cage because they are not the right breed or have been abused and neglected. They love the attention or a walk outside in the sun where there is grass and fresh air, it's a win win if I can give them my time and cheer myself up at the same time" I press my face into his neck as I talk feeling like I'm saying more about myself than I should.
Jace doesn't say anything but lifts me off my feet so I have to wrap my legs around him on the edge of the bed, with his hands on my back he slides one into my hair and presses me into his body and his kiss. He is almost rough but I feel his passion and I kiss him back with the same urgency.
"You.. You're too beautiful Angel" he breathes and rolls me over till my back hits the mattress.
"Jace" I breathe, I don't know how to respond to him when he says that.
"I need you" he says into my ear with a kiss to the temple.
"I'm yours" I whimper, oh god he needs me.
"Then I'm going to take what's mine" he growls and opens my robe.
Kissing me all over he sets me on fire, I pull at his clothes till he is naked. I'm shaking as I watch him put on a condom, the image of his hands on himself makes my mouth dry and I lick my lips. On my elbows I crawl backwards up the bed and he chases me, our eyes locked on the others. My head hits the pillows then Jace is on me, then in me and I cry out. There is nothing like the feel of him inside me, and he thrusts hard, he is never hard and I love it. I hold on to him so tight.
"Jace, yes, like that" I encourage him and he hits me harder.
"Good?" He grunts just holding onto his control.
"Perfect, more" I cry into his neck.
"Fuck, Angel. You feel so good" he moans and the sound makes me crazy, I bite his neck. "Fuck" he repeats and his control slips.
I suck and bite him again, I want him to take what he needs and with a roar he does.
"Oh god Jace yes!" I call out and his rough thrusts and heavy weight pin me down.
His hands hold my head by the hair and he kisses me hard, I moan uncontrollably into his mouth and I can't move. My body trembles and my hands fist in his hair as I come for him so hard, it's never felt like this and I break from his lips to scream with my head tilted back. Jace just moves his kisses to my neck and doesn't stop.
"Oh god, oh Jace, oh fuck!" I pant lost in my pleasure.
"Not done yet Angel" he flips me over and kisses my back, his hands massaging my sides all the way down to my ass, he grips my hips and with his knee he opens my legs.
"I love you so much" he whispers so soft in my ear as he lays over my back and he pushes into me.
Instinctively I arch back into him pushing him deeper with a cry.
"I love you Jace, please never stop" I moan.
"Stop what honey? This?" He thrusts harder with a moan of his own.
"Loving me" I whimper.
"Oh Angel, no. Never honey" he croons and kisses she side of my face that's exposed.
"I need you too" I whisper.
"I'm yours" Jace's deep voice is in my ear making me shiver.
His hands move over my skin lovingly while his hips move hard and rough and the two combined drives me crazy.
"Jace" I call, I'm so close and I need to move, to rock and I can't.
"You're okay honey" he pants almost cocky.
"But, oh god" I try to push back, something
"Let it come Angel" he rests his face on my cheek and his breath mixes with mine.
"Jace, I need.."
"I know" he smiles and rolls his hips and holy fuck!
I groan and he does it again, then again, and again and I cry out shivering and jerking underneath him as I climax again.
"That's it honey, just like that" he places small kisses all over my face and I can't stop the moaning coming from my open mouth.
"You look so beautiful right now, I can't believe you're mine" he whispers against my face making me whimper. "I love you Elizabeth" he tells me and I feel him come with a quiet moan in my ear.
"I love you too Masters" fuck he is so sweet.
He rolls us to the side so he is spooning me and holding me tight to him, we just lay like this for the longest time quiet and trying to control our breathing.
I feel the sun start to rise through my window and I know it's almost time to get ready for work, if I could stay here all day like this I would.
"I have a present for you" I smile.
"You do? It's not my birthday, have I missed some imaginary girl anniversary already? Was it like our hundred hour anniversary or something?" He teases me.
"No, I just wanted to get you something" I giggle
"You sound happy right now, that's all I need" he sighs against my neck.
"Close your eyes" I tell him and turn to see if he has.
"I won't peek" he smiles and I reach over into my nightstand.
I run it over his arm and he laughs as if it tickles.
"Okay open" I whisper holding it in my palm.
"Oh you didn't" he laughs out loud and takes the tiny fire truck from my hand and folds it in his fist.
"I saw it and knew I had to get it for you" I giggle and he kisses my lips.
"My mother is in so much trouble" he shakes his head.
"Your mother almost wore my coffee when she told me that story, you could have warned me" I poke my finger into his chest.
"Thank you sweetheart, I love it" he smiles down at me. "Now you get that sexy ass in the shower and let me feed you" he gives my ass a tap and stands.
"You know you're spoiling me?" I sigh and walk to my shower naked and unashamed.
"That's the plan, I look after my woman Beth" he follows me with his eyes.
"Then I must be your woman" I blush.
"Yes, you are honey" he smiles showing off his dimples.
I turn with a smile of my own and step under the hot water before I embarrass myself, when I look back he's gone.
