The Mistress

Chapter 9

Hi freakies! New chapter, aw yes. Just puree loving. Some fluff cause who doesn't like that. Next chapter is something something ☺️. Enjoy!

I was preparing the ingredients for some cocktails as I waited on Jace to arrive. He had just texted me that he'd be here within 5 minutes.

The sushi was already prettily placed on the marbled kitchen island along with the sides and noodles. The smell was slowly driving me insane. After-nap hunger is real.

I had woken up about an hour ago and quickly cleaned the little mess there was. Afterwards I freshened up before waiting on the sushi delivery that I had ordered before going to bed. They arrived right on time.

So with a few minutes left I decided to prepare some cocktails.

I had prepped the glasses, the zests, the syrup and the ice cubes. Now I was just waiting for my Jacey to see what drink he wanted.

Just as I placed the last cocktail spoon down the doorbell rang.

I couldn't fight off the smile that formed on my face as I almost hopped over to the front door.

I checked to make sure it was indeed Jace before yanking the door open as cool and collected as I could manage.

His casual sexy self was a feast for my eyes as he brushed his hat back with his fingers as he smiled at me.

"Hi baby, come in." I said as I moved out of the doorway so he could come inside.

A quick soft kiss as greeting , before I took his jacket and placed it in the hallway closet.

Grabbing his hand as I led him towards the kitchen. "Would you Like a cocktail or mocktail? And which one?" I asked as he sat down.

"Uh, just a simple mojito mocktail will be fine, thank you. Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked, ready to jump in.

I shook my head at him, "No thank you, just relax. How was the rest of your work day?" I asked as I stirred his mojito before squeezing a strip of lime zest over the edge of the glass before serving it to him as I grabbed my own.

"It was just boring. A lot of things that could've been emails if you ask me. But overall it was fine. My planning for next week is much worse. They've planned us pretty much for full days. Every day." He said with a small pout, but he didn't seem too upset about it.

I sat down and we ate dinner with small chatter in between.

After a fast and easy cleanup, I made us another drink. Gotta love not cooking.

We situated ourselves on my soft, grey couch. Pretty much plastered against each other before scrolling through Netflix.

"Anything you might want to watch or just search until we find something?" I offered.

He stayed quiet for a moment as he thought it over. "Let's watchu The Ritual!" He seemed quite excited about it so I agreed.

I turned it on and soon enough found myself hiding behind my own hands. I was intrigued by horror, and yet it always freaked me out.

Everytime I violently flinched out of sheer panic, Jace would laugh and pull me closer.

As if that would make it all better. I mean, it did but still.

After the movie was finally over I felt like I could breath like a normal human being again.

We talked over the details, forgetting the time.

However, once we did realize what time it was , it had already been 3 am.

"Oh my god, I should really get going. I can't believe it's so late already." Jace exclaimed as he was ready to get up.

"You know, if you would like you could just stay here tonight. I think that would be the safest, and if you don't want to share a bed with me I could go prepare the guest room." I offered. I genuinely didn't want him driving home at this time anymore. Blame it on Discovery Investigations cause that has got me paranoid.

"I think you're right. It might be best to stay here tonight then. And I don't mind sharing a bed with you." He softly said, the last sentence giving him light pink cheeks.

I had to giggle at his behavior, just adorable.

"Come on let's get to bed."

We walked over to my bedroom. He admired it for a couple of minutes before following me into the bathroom.

I handed him an extra toothbrush and we brushed our teeth in silence. Like an old married couple. The thought made me smile and it got me feeling all warm. I was so done for.

"I'm going to wash my body quickly before bed. You could too if you'd like, I have some extra boxers and pajamas." I explained as I grabbed a clean shirt and underwear for myself.

He nodded along before sitting on the chair. "I'd really like that." He said as he gave me a wide smile.

I handed him the new items before quickly washing myself and drying. I changed and headed back to my room and was greeted with a kiss before he made his way into the shower.

I turned on the bedlights and got under my warm and comfy blanket letting out a soft sigh out of content. This was nice.

A few minutes later Jace walked back out of the shower. Looking nice and refreshed before getting into bed.

It only took a few moment for us to cuddle together. Me being the little spoon. His strong and warm embrace leaving me in heaven.

Goodnights were whispered to each other before I had the best sleep I've had in a while.
