The Mistress

Chapter 13:

Jace POV:

I flopped onto the bed with a big sigh, relaxing my muscles as my body slowly sunk into the heavenly feeling mattress.

Our flight had been short enough to be enjoyable but long enough to make anyone a little antsy. We had been next to each other in the first class section. Our luxurious chairs close enough to one another to be able to almost fully touch. The only thing separating us was the half wall in between us.

It didn't really matter. Because of the early flight we'd both been tired and quickly fell asleep after take off.

We had just arrived at the resort and after a quick tour of our guide, we'd been escorted towards our suite.

It was more amazing than any picture.

The bungalows on top of the crystal clear water were a sight for sore eyes and I whipped my head from left to right trying to take it all in at once.

The hot sun leaving a nice burning feeling on my skin as the cooler wind blew around us softly.

I had a firm grip Elle's hand as we walked down the wooden panels towards our little slice of heaven.

I pearled over the edge of the deck, seeing all the colorful little fish swimming around.

I couldn't wait to hop into to cool of.

I looked around the room, staring hard at my suitcase hoping it would magically unpack itself with some sort of telepathic force.

Alas, nothing happened.

I peeked through the open bathroom door seeing Elle wash her face at the sink.

I hopped off the bed and strutted over to her, stopping behind her and wrapping my arms around her as I stared at our reflection.

She showed me her beautiful smile, only reserved for me before she applied a facial sunscreen.

I admired her for a little longer before trailing my nose softly along her ear, down to her neck and settling at the nape of it. I planted gentle kisses all over it, enjoying her mouthwatering scent and the feel of her soft supple skin.

I barely had my fingers underneath her thin shirt, massaging the skin I could reach. She leaned into me and craned her neck giving me more space to admire and adorn.

She had closed her eyes, reveling in this moment. She fit so perfectly in my arms and I was planning on keeping her there forever.

Even though I always vocalized my feeling for her, I didn't think she realized just how much she really meant for me.

Everything she did, every time she smiled, when she looked at me, laughed, anything she did made my heart skip a beat and tighten a little. She had my whole life in her hands and she might not even realize it.

She flipped around in my arms, placed her hands softly onto my chest before looking up at me and smiling that sweet smile again. My heart felt like it would beat out of my chest.

She moved her hands from my chest to my neck before pulling me down gently. Our lips pressed softly together and even if it had been our millionth kiss, it still felt just as amazing as it first.

She pulled back way to soon for my liking, but with her smile, I wouldn't even dare complain.

Suddenly she started dotting my face with a cream before rubbing it in. I glanced down at her hands realizing it was the sunscreen again.  I couldn't help but smile before giving her another kiss.
