“Are you wet?” His hand slides up my thigh like he usually does when he wants to check for wetness. The anticipation kills me with how slow his hand is going, and just when he gets to the junction of my leg and crotch, he pulls away, “We better get to eating before the food gets cold.” He grabs my hips and sets my feet on the floor.
I stare at him in shock. Jace is always horny and takes it whenever he wants, so why is he teasing me, knowing that he’s only making himself suffer? I notice the smirk that he’s wearing on his face and glare at him once his back is fully turned.
“I saw that, Ella. Twenty swats of the paddle later.”
Oo, I really like the paddle, I think to myself before taking a seat at the little kitchen nook, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Jace; saw what?”
“Do you really want to play dumb?” He asks as he starts scooping the food onto our plates.
“I didn’t do anything, Jace.” I’m trying so hard not to smile or laugh, but then I see the seriousness to his face when he turns around. Oh crap, he’s in Dom mode now, “I’m sorry, Jace.”
“Once you receive your forty swats then it will all be fine.” He sets my plate in front of me and kisses the top of my head, “Eat up, baby.”
I glance up at him, “You said twenty swats, not forty.”
“That was before you tried playing dumb and then you lied to me. Everything has consequences, Ella.”
I feel like a little kid who just let their parent down, feeling guilty for doing what I did. Picking up my fork, I swirl the noodles around the tines of the fork and then bring it to my mouth. The second it’s in my mouth, it bursts with the flavor of alfredo, causing a moan to slip out of me.
Jace chuckles, “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Once I have swallowed it all, I stare at him, “Jace, this is the best chicken alfredo that I have ever tasted!”
“I’m glad you like it. I’ve been working on it for a couple of months, just so I can make it for you.” He grins and then goes back to eating his own.
“Thank you, Jace.” My eyes sting with unshed tears, “Nobody has ever done anything like this for me.”
“And they won’t, not as long as I’m around.” He’s being totally serious, so I smile at him, because regardless of how possessive he sounds, it sounds so sweet to me.
We need to talk about us, what we are to each other, what we are going to tell people, and where are we going to go from here. I go back to Connecticut as soon as court is over and there is a ruling, and Jace needs to remain behind until he graduates. All of my thoughts are consumed with Jace, it’s going to be hard not to see him for almost two months, but I guess it will be a good test for us. Besides, seven weeks really isn’t that long, I'll just have to keep myself busy until then.
“I’m going to go use the restroom, I’ll be right back.” I inform Jace, not that I really need to use it, but I need a moment to myself. Jace will pick up on my melancholy and will insist that I talk to him about it.
He stands and starts clearing our dishes as he nods, and I head down the hall to the main bathroom. I stand in front of the mirror and stare at the girl that is staring back at me, a girl who used to be broken by the boy who is slowly putting her back together again. Jace had shattered me, and I’m not quite sure how we got to where we are today, but all the shattered pieces have been put back together, with only the cracks still remaining, which are slowly mending as we go. I splash water on my cheeks just to feel a bit better, and then open the door to go back to Jace. Only, he’s standing outside the door with my phone in his hand and a look of anger on his face.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this video message you got this morning?” He asks in an accusing tone.
“What message? I haven’t even looked at my phone today!” But then I remember the notification that woke me up this morning.
Once he sees my expression, his face softens, but his jaw remains tense as he grabs me and hugs me tight, “We have a bit of a problem.” He states before pulling away.
“What is it? What’s wrong?”
He turns as he nods, indicating for me to follow, “Let’s go to my room and talk about it. Less chance of being overheard if one of my parents stop at home.”
I don’t question him any longer and follow him down to his bedroom. Memories from the day before flood my mind and a small grin appears. I know most girls want romance and all when they lose their V card, but what I got was perfect and I wouldn’t change it for anything. All those nights I dreamt of being tied up and ravaged as I lost my virginity, who would have known that they would come true. Although, Jace was more considerate about doing so, not wanting to hurt me anymore than he had to, and I can’t fault him for that. He doesn’t know that I have a bit of darkness inside that craves more pain than he realizes. I’m not sure where it came from or why it’s there, but I intend to try and find out.
I find a spot on his bed and sit Indian style, waiting for him to begin. All he’s doing at the moment is pacing back and forth and swearing as he mumbles to himself. I let it go on for a bit longer to see if he finally gets his bearings, but he continues to pace. Finally, I can’t take it anymore and I say his name, but he ignores me. I climb from the bed and go to him.
Touching his arm lightly to stop his movement, I look up at him when he finally stares at me, “What’s going on? You are starting to scare me.”
He sighs heavily, and pulls me with him as he sits on the edge of the bed and settles me onto his lap, having me straddle his legs, so I can face him, “I had gotten a DM on my social media page yesterday; it was from your friend, Bree, telling me that she had overheard Madison talking about you and implying that something may happen,” I start to ask him a question but he puts a finger to my lips and gives me a warning look to be silent, and I obey, “I took care of the matter, and had Madison questioned, but that remains between you and I, Ella. Anyway, all that was said was that someone was following you to try and get dirt on you before we went to court, but she wouldn’t say who. I can only assume that it’s Mason, because she wouldn’t give her twin up like that.
I just laughed it off though because, I knew they wouldn’t find anything on you,” he smiles sadly as he caresses my face with his thumb, “because you are my little saint.” I lean into his touch and smile back, “But, I didn’t give them enough credit, because they did find something.”
I straighten my spine, “What?” I couldn’t help blurting out the question.
Jace doesn’t seem mad that I interrupted him, though. Instead, he just continues, “It’s not as bad as you think, it may be just a little embarrassing for you, but it shouldn’t be anything that should make you back away from charging them,” he glances down at my phone that he still has in his hand, “I think it’s time that we talk to our family, your dad most importantly.”
