I can barely breathe. “Maybe I don’t feel like you’re just a job assignment either.”
Her eyes light up, and I swear I can see relief pulse across her face. I almost laugh. How could she not have known that I felt the same? That I’ve been feeling this way for weeks? Granted, I haven’t even dared to admit it to myself. But still.
“So maybe, instead of lurking in the shadows, I want you to sit next to me in class and at lunch and all that from now on.” She pauses for a second before adding, “Like a boyfriend.”
My heart bursts, and a wide grin spreads across my mouth. “Like a boyfriend, huh?”
A grin full of challenge slides home on her own lips as she raises her eyebrows. “Unless you don’t think you can handle me?”
Pushing up from my chair, I lean over the table and wrap my hand around her jaw. Her eyes dance with mischief as I lean closer, a sly smile on my lips. “Oh, I think I can handle you just fine, little demon.”
She steals a vicious kiss from me and then laughs against my lips. It’s a laugh full of villainous promises and epic challenges. And it makes my whole soul come alive.

Islam the front door shut behind me. Whirling around, I advance on Jace while raising a finger in the air.
“That,” I say, stalking towards him, “was so fucking hot.”
Jace leans back, half sitting on the edge of the kitchen table, and crosses his ankles. His brown eyes glitter and a smirk plays over his lips as he watches me. “You thought so, huh?”
“Yes.” I stop barely half a stride away. So close that I can feel the heat from his body. Tilting my head back, I lock eyes with him and raise my eyebrows pointedly. “Though next time, maybe be a little more discreet when we’re sitting right opposite Aurora, Jenn, and Lionel.”
Amusement pulls at his lips, and he arches an eyebrow as well. “You’re the one who literally told them that we were heading home so that you could fuck my brains out.”
Heat washes through me. Not embarrassment. Just pure fire that licks through my veins and makes me feel invincible. This past week since Jace and I decided to admit how we really feel about each other has been the most exhilarating week of my life. Yes, Jace still watches over me as a bodyguard, but it’s a choice now. He’s close because I want him close. And fucking hell, I want him more than close. All the time.
“Yes, well,” I reply, holding his gaze while that fire pools inside me. “How else was I supposed to react? When you called me a good girl.”
Drawing his hand up my throat, he takes a firm grip on my jaw and tilts my head farther back. His eyes gleam as he leans closer. “You like that, huh?”
He brushes his lips over mine.
My spine tingles.
“Maybe I will call you that again,” he breathes against my mouth.
A shudder of pleasure rolls through me, and I try to lean forward and claim his lips, but his grip on my jaw keeps me firmly in place. He smiles against my mouth, teasing his lips over mine again without actually kissing me.
“Take off my shirt,” he says.
My clit throbs at the command in his voice. Lifting my hands, I draw my fingers along the top of his pants, gently brushing his bare skin.
I’m immediately rewarded by a shudder rolling through his body.
I grin against his mouth.
“The things I will do to you,” he whispers against my lips, his hand still wrapped around my jaw.
With that wicked smirk still on my mouth, I slip my hands underneath the fabric of his white t-shirt and start slowly pushing it up his stomach. The feeling of his sharp abs underneath my palms makes my thighs clench.
I take my time drawing my hands over his lethal body, caressing every sharp ridge and tracing every curve, until another shudder of pleasure rolls through him.
“Oh, you truly are a little demon,” he murmurs against my lips.
Pulling me closer, he claims my mouth with a hard kiss. Then he releases my jaw and instead grabs the hem of his shirt, which is now bunched around his chest. With a firm yank, he pulls it over his head and tosses it down on the floor next to us.
