Dirty Little Secret

Sighs and Surprise

Jason's POV

The snow is cold on my fingers as I use it to try and keep myself from turning around and seeing what Nathan and Nick are doing.

The quiet burn of Luis' hand in mine is keeping me from doing so, the touch just a few degrees shy of being too hot.

"So do you never get to touch the snow?" I ask him, trying my best to distract myself from what could be going on behind me. I had been listening to their conversation when Nick hadn't been feeling good, but we driftered further apart and all the voices around me prevent me from hearing his voice above the others.

I watch as Luis reached out towards a tree branch and grabs some snow in his free hand.

I expect for the snow to immediately start melting in his hand, but to my surprise, it stays cold and in tact. I raise my brows, and a few seconds later, the sludge is melting into water and falling to the ground.

"It wasn't alway easy. But it's like a light switch. I just prefer to run hot." He tells me voice soothing as always. "You're way too anxious."

"Fuck you, Dr.Phil. Stop feeling my emotions." I tell him and he chuckles but shakes his head at me.

"You and Nick. The both of you feel a lot of things. Almost too much for it to make sense. It's like an ocean, wave and waves of new feelings. And you two feel things hard. It's almost impossible to ignore." He says. As a wolf, I've always envied the Faerie ability to be able to sense emotions and auras of people.

It's a useful tool to have in any business.

The hike doesn't last that much longer up, and when we get to our destination, we're all circling a huge waterfall, the water falling down into an icy looking lake, bits of snow and ice falling into the cold pans below.

The area around us looks like a winter wonderland. There's a few picnic tables and large rocks for students to sit, and when I look around, I find Nick standing at one of the boulders and Nathan standing right beside him laughing. I try to pretend like seeing that didn't make my chest ache in a million ways. I turn away instead and face Luis who is smiling at the waterfall.

"Eliza would have liked it here. She loves the cold." He says, turning to me with a sad smile.

We're just two fuck up wanting the person we least deserve to love us. Luis wants to be able to love himself like Eliza loves him. And all I want is for Nick to be able to look at me the way he always seems to look at Nathan, whether in public or in private.

After a few more minutes of walking around and chilling, we finally head back to the large cabin, the group starting to yawn and ask about food, my own stomach agreeing as it growls.

We make our way down the hill we climbed up, and I see a few kids begin to have a snow hall fight on the way down, skidding down the sloops and catching the snowballs in their hands. Some of them with gloves and others with just their bare hands.

"All of these humans are going to be sniffling and sneezing in the morning." Luis tells me and I chuckle and nod in agreement, knowing that fact ain't going to stop them.

When we get back to the cabin, Luis' and I let our hands fall, and he goes to sit in the sitting room in the corner away from everyone while I spot Clary and some friends of hers talking by the fire as they all get comfortable.

I don't even try to look for Nick, and chose to let him be and have his fun and instead chose to go upstairs and take a shower.

Once I get to our room and unlock it, I walk into the living room and pull out one of the blankets on top of the couch and pull it towards the bedroom.

I throw is on the bed before I get undressed until I'm down in my boxers. I hear the door open in the suite, and I don't pay it any attention , thinking that it's either Clary or Luis wanting to get away from all of those people. But when I hear footsteps coming my way, I turn around to see Nick in the doorway with a smile.

"Jace!" He says, his voice full of unexpected excitement.

Before I can answer, he's coming across the room to wrap his arms around me and I look down at him with a smile. "What's going on? Did I miss something?" I ask him, just meaning to be teasing.

"You did." He tells me taking me by surprise, especially with how cheeky he's being, but I raise my hand and place it softly on his cheek and play with his bottom lip, happy to have him back in my arms, even if it's only for a moment.

"Yeah? What did I miss?" I ask him, curious now. He ducks his head in a blush, but I raise it back so he can look at me, and his hazel eyes hold my gaze as I raise my brow in expectation.

"I broke up with Nathan. I told him I had a Mate." He whispers, almost too low for me to hear it, but I do, and my eyebrows fly up in shock, but my heart starts to pound in disbelief.

"You did?" I ask him, softly, unable to even express how happy it's made me.

And all Nick can do is giggle and nod, making my whole night.

I love Jason so fucking much. I hope I don't sleep too long in the morning.
