That's all peeps! I hope you enjoyed Jace's pov with Elise. Just an FYI...next chapter will have explicit scenes...you have been warned! Please leave a pretty little Gem and possibly a review if you have the time. There will be NO Sunday updates because I will not be home this weekend, but come back Monday for a Hot & Steamy night with Ella & Jace! =)
The next few days went by without a hitch. It was almost as if we had normal lives, except for the two guards that followed me and my sister around everywhere. I guess it beats us being locked up in the apartment all day long, so I will take it. Tomorrow is Saturday, the day Jace will be taking us around to the festivities uptown and I’m a bit giddy about it. It’s been too long since we’ve been out as boyfriend and girlfriend, so it will be nice to be able to walk around, holding Jace’s hand like a real couple. I’m finishing up getting ready for my shift at the bakery, when he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, “Good morning, beautiful. How many times have I told you to wake me up when you get out of bed?” He nibbles on my earlobe, and I lean back into him, enjoying the things that it’s doing to me. “You got home late last night, and it’s so early. I was going to wake you up before I left, I promise.” I say breathlessly as he brings his hand up my shirt and fondle
There is a summer carnival going on with rides and games, along with food stands and street merchants. Tons of people are walking the streets, having a good time. Regardless of the two men following us, me Jace and Elise are having the time of our lives. It’s like Jace and I are getting a second chance at being young high schoolers once again. We blend in so well with them, that for one day we can pretend that we don’t have a care in the world. “How about this one?” Jace asks as he stops at the hammer game. I stand and watch the person at the helm take their turn lifting the huge sledgehammer and swinging it, hitting the metal plate and making the lever move up, but not ring the bell at the top. The prize for ringing it three times in a row is a teddy bear that is half my size. “Only if you think you can hit it all three times. I wouldn’t want you making yourself look bad by not being able to hit it.” I tease him. Jace takes it as a challenge and pays the carnival worker his money.
JACE POV I’m staring right at her as she smiles back at me, thinking of how she is so going to get it later when we get home. All of a sudden, someone in a hoodie with a baseball cap and sunglasses comes up behind her. It scares the shit out of me, and she must see it because she swings around and then goes still. I can’t quite see what’s going on, but then I watch as a glint of metal shines in the sunlight as they hit her across the face and take off. I squeeze Elise’s arm as I call out Ella’s name, and then I’m running to her. I notice her starting to go down and I catch her as I go to my knees. That’s when I notice all the blood. Elise must see it too because she’s on the phone instantly, calling for help. “Ella! Oh, my God, no!” I’m frantic, “Talk to me baby!” “W-What h-happened?” she stutters as she looks around at her surroundings. I’m trying to hold myself together as I explain to her what just happened. My eyes sting with unshed tears as I look at her beautiful face now ma
I only think of one person as I try to shake the fog from my head. Where am I, and where is Jace? We were at the carnival with my sister when I remember I had to use the bathroom. I can remember turning around to see Jace grinning at my little butt shake but then it turned to a look of horror. “Jace…” “I’m here, baby!” I try saying more but my mouth is so parched. My lids are so heavy at the moment that I leave them closed for the time being. I open and close my mouth, and then whisper the word water. Feet shuffle and then I feel something against my lips. “Take it slow, beautiful, I don’t want you choking.” Jace’s voice is like silk as it hits my ears. After taking enough water, I move my head away, and slowly start to crack my eyes open. The light in the room is dimmed down, so it doesn’t hurt so much but my eyes still feel so heavy, “Where am I?” My voice sounds croaky, and my face seems to hurt when I talk but I need to know what’s going on. “You’re in the hospital, baby. Do
JACE POV All eight of us are gathered in our living room discussing the next plan of action. Apparently, while we were at the hospital Ethan and Kingsley had talked to the apartment manager about putting up multiple cameras around the building, at no expense to the owner, of course. After discussing it with the owner of the building, the manager gave the go ahead to put up the security cameras. I haven’t even seen any of them, so that tells you how small they are. We will keep the alarm system on the apartment, but we figure there will be plenty of opportunities for them to come at Ella throughout the building. I hate taking any chances with her, but she is determined to catch the fuckers, and I really can’t blame her. It will be nice to be able to have our lives back. “Even when you are doing laundry, Malik or Owen will always be with you, but will stay outside of the laundry room.” Kingsly states and then hands Ella a chain with a round pendent on it, “This is a silent al
My parents only stay for a couple of days, and they decide to take Elise back with them. As much as I wanted to spend more time with my sister, it is no longer safe for her here. I promise her that once things settle down, she can come back for another visit and then we hug tightly. I’m so glad to have my sister back, and I hope it stays this way once she returns home. Now it’s back to just me and Jace, and our regular messed up life, with the exception of two huge bodyguards. Once we are back from the airport, Jace wastes no time in getting us back on track. As soon as we enter the apartment, he orders me to strip, but I’m a bit apprehensive due to my stab wound. “Uh, Sir, I don’t think I can do anything just yet. I don’t want to tear out my stitches.” He raises a brow at me and then frowns, “Do you honestly think I would do anything that would hurt you or hinder your healing, Precious? I never said that I was going to fuck you, now did I?” I shake my head, “No, Sir, but…” “No bu
JACE POV I’m on the phone as soon as Ella is passed out. I need answers and Kingsly still hasn’t given us any. We should have had the results from the lab yesterday afternoon but some bullshit story about the lab being backed up has put a delay on the results. I’m sorry, but I need answers now. Ethan is paying good money for all of these services and friend or not, Kingsly needs to step up his game because we are not seeing results. After three rings, the other line is answered, “Kingsly, tell me you have something.” The PI chuckles, “Are you psychic? I literally just got off the phone with the lab. They are faxing me over the results as we speak, so if you can keep your panties on, I can tell you what they are in just a moment.” “Yeah, sure. Look man, I’m sorry, but Ella is my world and I want these bastards behind bars.” I run my hand through my hair as I pace across the living room, “Waiting on the results has been a bit stressful.” “I understand. Ah, here we go. Hm, that’s wei
Walking into Club Shameless, Jace orders that I keep my head high. Unlike other subs who must keep their head bowed at all times, he wants me to keep my eyes straight ahead. He doesn’t want me hiding myself for anybody. I actually don’t mind so much tonight because the club is dark, and I must admit, the cut really isn’t too hideous, being not quite three inches in length, the doctor did do a good job stitching it up, but it still makes me flinch when I see it in the mirror. I’m hoping that Jace is right in that it will look much better when the stitches are out. After our little tryst at the dinner table earlier, Jace had me put on the sexiest dress that I’ve ever worn. Although it’s practically see-through, I feel sexy and powerful in it. Completely made of lace, it has removable inserts that cover the important parts since Jace knows that I’m not quite ‘there’ just yet. It’s a shimmery black lace that hugs my body and ends just below my butt cheeks. In all honesty, I look like a hi
