“I’m ready.” I run my fingers through my hair.

Jace turns to look at me and his eyes rake over me in a way that reminds me of how he had sandwiched me between the table and his body last night… my cheeks turn red against my will. “W-What?” I narrow

my eyes at him.

He gets up and starts carrying the cup to the kitchen. “Nothing.” He brushes past me as he murmurs, “You just look really pretty.”

I don’t know how my face can get more red but it does, and I grind my teeth, embarrassed at myself for such a reaction.

I’ve had men tell me I’m pretty before!

But having it whispered by this man as he looks at me in such a hungry way, it makes my pussy clench and I stand there dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

Fortunately, the silence is immediately filled with Lana’s voice, “Yeah, we definitely need to update your wardrobe.”

There is nothing harsh in her tone as she leans towards me and grins. “I like your earrings though. They give you flair.”

I flick it with a haughty smirk.

She laughs.

“So, you’re all going shopping?” Jace walks back in.

I try not to meet his gaze, suddenly feeling a little too self-conscious.

“Yeah. We’re updating Halley’s style.” Kendall is starting to look excited. “She’s getting a complete makeover.”

“What’s wrong with how she looks now?” Jace asks, exiting from the kitchen, his tone displeased.

“I wanted to make some changes.”

“And it’s none of your business.” Kendall hooks her arm around my neck, raising a brow.

“I never said it was.”

They glare at each other.

I chuckle. “Okay, let’s get going. I have dinner plans as well tonight. I don’t want to mess them up.”

Getting Jace out of the apartment takes minutes and I ready myself to be pestered with questions through the whole shopping trip.

But even as I exit the building, the events of the day still linger in my head, the identity of the driver eating at my subconscious.

Jace

The superintendent hadn’t been very pleased to hear my request, and after a brief argument, he had finally given me the spare key.

I immediately headed out to the gym.

Getting involved in any aspect of Halley’s life had always been a big no for me.

The girl is loud, talkative, stubborn, and she always manages to get the upper hand in an argument. So, while I don’t deny I’m attracted to her, it doesn’t excuse me constantly thinking about her.

As I run on the treadmill, trying to work out the desire to fuck that tight little body and trying to convince myself she’s too young for me, all I can recall is the way she felt under me and the helpless expression on her face.

Taking a sip of water, I lean against the bar handle of the machine, my eyes unfocused.
