“Where are you off to in such a hurry?”
“I’m going for lunch next door, don’t have time to chat, Mom.”
“Hold it right there, Ella!” Her tone stops me in my tracks.
My mom isn’t one to ever yell at us, but she has that tone that all mothers have that tells you she means business. My mom is using that tone right now, so whatever it is that she wants to talk about, I already know that I’m not going to want to talk about it.
“You and I need to have a chat, and you can’t keep running away from me,” she quirks a brow at me, “I think you know what I’m talking about, Ella.”
“Ugh, do we have to do this right now, Mom? I promise we will talk about it, but I don’t want to be late.” I plead. It’s not like I’m really late, but I don’t feel like discussing this with her just yet.
“Fine, but we are going to talk about it by the end of the weekend!” She smirks and continues in the direction that she was going in when I bounded down the stairs.
I send up a quick prayer that she will forget to bring it up again before I leave, and then I head over to Jace’s house. It feels weird pressing the doorbell; I felt the same way the last time I stopped over to talk to him about my sister going to his party. Growing up, we always just walked into each other’s houses, not once did we knock or ring the bell.
The door whips open and I’m pulled inside so fast that I think I might have gotten whiplash. Suddenly, Jace’s mouth is on mine, taking my breath away from the intensity of the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and open my mouth for him, returning it with everything I’ve got. He lifts me and then slams the door, sandwiching me between it and his own hard body. With my legs wrapped around his waist, I can feel his hardness but he doesn’t rub it against me. In fact, he slows the kiss down before pulling away slowly and gazing deeply into my eyes. He gives me his sexy as sin grin.
“Hey.”
“Hey,” I reply breathless.
“I’m happy to see you.”
“I can tell…” I go to unwrap my legs but he stops me.
Shaking his head, he moves us away from the door and into the kitchen where he sets me on the counter right beside the stove. I peek over to see what’s cooking, and smile; he’s made my favorite dish of Chicken Alfredo.
“You remember!”
“Ella, there isn’t one thing that I have forgotten about you.” He stretches around me to grab the colander from the cupboard, and when he does, he plants a quick little kiss on my cheek.
“What’s my favorite color?” I give him a cheeky smile.
“Unless it’s changed, you could never decide if you like purple or teal better, so both were your favorites.” I watch as he dumps the fettuccini noodles into the colander.
“Hm, I bet you don’t remember what my favorite movie is?” I cross my arms and give him a smug look.
“Seriously, Ella,” he raises a brow, “You literally made me watch the Twilight series with you like fifty times!”
Giggling, I think back to those days where he would groan as soon as he saw me turning the Blu-ray player on, “Fifty times is a little bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think?”
“Whatever, Ella-Bella!” He winks and then laughs at the nickname he used to call me every time we watched the movies.
“Well, for your information, I think I have a new favorite series,” I pretend to examine my nails, “Fifty Shades is right up there with Twilight.”
I hear a clank, and when I glance over at Jace, he’s squatting down to grab the utensil that he dropped on the floor, and I smirk. He tosses it in the sink and turns the stove off, before he finally gives me his attention. His hand comes up to wrap around my throat, not cutting off my air, but just enough to send my core into a frenzy.
He leans in close to my ear, “You better be careful, little girl, or else you’re going to go hungry, because I’m about two point five seconds away from ripping your jeans off, and fucking your hungry cunt right here on the countertop.”
My eyes widen as a fluttery feeling forms in the pit of my stomach. I close my eyes briefly to try and hide the arousal that I’m sure he can see in them, but he knows better, and adds a bit more pressure to my neck.
“Does this turn you on, Ella?” His breath hits my ear as he whispers the question, “Don’t lie to me.”
Damn, this guy is going to be the death of me, “Yes, Jace.”
“Yes what, Ella?”
“Yes, your hand around my neck turns me on.”
