Jeremy Zucker. Live in Concert. Seattle. February 11th. I read the words, not able to believe my own eyes. My mouth falls wide open. "You're joking. These are fake" I tell Jace, at loss for words. He chuckles at my probably stupid looking face. "You remembered that I've been trying to get tickets?" I add quietly, with my eyes starting to water. I can't help it. This is the sweetest gesture anyone has ever made for me.
"Why the fuck are you crying?" Jace laughs at me a second time, clearly happy that I like his gift. I think it's obvious why, but I don't answer so I won't cry even more.
"Two tickets?" I say ignoring his question, holding them in my hand.
"Yeah, I figured I'd give that whole concert thing a chance. For you" Jace admits to me, sincerely this time. Instead of answering, I let out a little squeal and throw myself onto Jace. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him as tight as I can.
"Thank you so much. That's the best gift you could've given me, honestly" I whisper. Removing myself from his neck, I lay both of my hands on his cheeks gently before planting a much deserved kiss on his lips. Jace reaches behind him, placing a medium sized box in my hand.
"What's this?" I say confused, as he's already given me something.
"That's part two" Jace says softly.
My eyes grow wide for the second time today. "You got me two gifts?" I say unbelievingly.
"Open" he says chuckling, just like before. I do as demanded and take the lid off of the box. A beautiful, golden necklace comes into sight, with a beautiful pendant shaped like a J. "So everyone knows you're mine" Jace explains in his raspy voice, while I still admire it.
I can't help but get teary eyed again. "It's beautiful" I whisper, taking it out of the box so Jace can put it on me.
"You like it?" he says, tracing over my neck with his fingers.
Turning back around to him, I nod my head. "Thank you" I whisper once more. "I love the gifts, both of them. But you didn't have to get me anything" I add sincerely.
"I wanted to" Jace says, casually leaning back onto his lower arms on my bed.
"Well, it's a good thing I have something for you too" I say enthusiastically, walking over to my closet to take out Jace's big, wrapped gift.
"Wow, what the fuck's in there?" Jace says when he sees the size of it.
I'm the one that chuckles at him this time. "See for yourself" I say, placing it on his lap.
It takes Jace a while to get all of the wrapping paper off of the gift, but once he does, a large brown box comes in sight. "A box, thank you Mila" he says ironically, thinking he's funny.
"Shut up" I laugh back at him.
Jace takes the lid off of it and is speechless for a few seconds. "You got me a new baseball bat?" Jace says, not giving me any hint of his emotions.
"I didn't know if you still had one, so I got you this. In case you want to pick up playing again" I say shyly, feeling stupid for not thinking of anything better.
"This is the best fucking bat there is, do you know that babe?" he adds, and I sigh in relief when there's a big smile growing on his face.
"That's what the guy at the store told me" I smile, just as big as him.
Jace lifts me up with his hands on my waist and places me on his lap. "Thank you, honestly" he says, looking me deep into the eyes.
My arms find their way around his neck again. "Maybe you can teach me how to play" I say, half joking, half sincerely.
"If that's what you want" Jace smirks at me. Smiling back, I kiss him one more time.
"What did you think of tonight?" I want to know, stroking the back of his hair.
"It was nice to celebrate with a big family for once" Jace smiles at me genuinely. My heart breaks, hearing that Jace never spent a lot of time with his family. Except for his dad. His family's somewhat broken - just like mine, but in a different way. "Come here. I'd still like to get to the part where I rip that dress off of you" he adds, avoiding the topic. He places a kiss on my lips, with his hands on my ass.
"My mom's next door" I whisper against his lips, with my heart picking up its pace.
"Better be quiet then" Jace say back to me, smirking. With a swift movement, he turns us around and throws me onto the bed gently. He kisses me one last time before lifting my dress up to reach the hem of my tights. He finds it quickly and slowly pulls the thin, black fabric down my legs, torturing me. I try to calm my heart beat with slow breaths while I watch Jace start planting little kisses on my body. He starts at my ankle, up my shin and past my thighs, before he places his lips at my core after pushing my underwear aside. He doesn't waste any time tonight. My back arches into his direction right away, while a big sigh leaves my body. When Jace starts using his tongue instead of his lips I can't help but let out a little moan.
Jace lifts his head. "I thought I told you to be quiet" he says, looking at me mischievously.
"If you want me to be quiet, you can't do that" I whisper back, my cheeks heating up. I see it in Jace's eyes right away, he gets extremely turned on from me talking back to him. He moves his body, leaning over me again.
"Is this better?" he asks me with his rough voice, grinding himself into me. Another sigh leaves my mouth as I feel him against me. Even though he's still wearing pants, the feeling is extremely intense. I bite my lip to keep myself from moaning as he repeats his motion. I nod my head from left to right, signalling him that it isn't with a slight smile on my face.
"Good" he whispers, smirking at me too.
Opening his own belt with one hand, I take it upon myself to unbutton his pants for him at the same time. "Come here" he says, grabbing my hand to pull me up into a standing position again. Jace places his hands at the hem of my dress and throws it over my head. His hand on my neck guides me back to his lips, as he unclips my bra with the other hand, as if it's the easiest thing in the world. He takes off his own shirt and lets his pants fall down his legs while I throw my bra onto the floor next to it. I squeal slightly when Jace throws me onto the bed gently a second time. Quickly, he's back to leaning over me. Very close to my body, but not crushing me.
"I can't wait any longer to feel you again" he growls into my ear, before pushing himself into me completely. Another moan leaves my mouth, I can't hold it in. "You just can't stay quiet, can you?" Jace smirks at me once more. I don't dare to say anything, my cheeks heat up at his comment instead. "Then we'll do it the other way" he whispers, more to himself.
Before he thrusts into me another time, his big hand covers my mouth gently. As he fills me out completely my moan is muffled, leaving both Jace and I content, knowing no one will hear us. I was definitely right about the thought I had when we had sex like this for the first time in the bath tub. It's even more intense without the hot water surrounding us, I can feel his touch even more. Also, I bet it's more comfortable for Jace, not having to carry a condom everywhere he goes.
My eyes once again flutter shut at the sensation that I'm feeling. With every thrust my back arches further and further. I need to be even closer to Jace, even though that's not possible. I hold on to Jace's hand covering my mouth for support, as I know that I'm close. "Jace, I..." I say out of breath, trying to let him know.
Since he knows I'm uncomfortable talking about it, he interrupts me with "I know. Me too."
Instead of picking up his pace to bring us both over the edge, Jace is slowing down. "What are you doing?" I say, just as out of breath as before. My cheeks are glowing.
"Just trust me" Jace says, finding my eyes with his one again. The movement of his hips is slow, while he thrusts into me even deeper than before. Before my eyes can close, Jace says "Look at me." I obey right away and he was right to say the least. This feels even better, definitely more intense than before. "Now come for me, Mila" Jace whispers with one last, deep thrust.
Jace's grip on my mouth tightens, as all of my muscles tense before they fully relax again. I feel Jace release into me at the same time. The only thing that can be heard in the room are the sounds of our heavy breaths as we both come down from our high. Jace removes the hand from my mouth, bringing it to my cheek to stroke it softly instead.
"Are you...?" he starts, but I interrupt him right away.
"Yes. I am" I say smiling slightly, letting him now that, of course, I'm okay. "I'll be right back" I whisper, disappearing into the bathroom quickly. When I return, Jace is snuggled into the blanket and I get in beside him, not bothered to get dressed. It's way too hot in here anyway.
Our naked bodies touch again when Jace pulls me closer into him, in a way that we can still face each other. Jace's eyes are on me, I can feel it. "I hope you don't have any plans tomorrow" he says towards me, as my eyes snap up towards him.
I shake my had no. "Why?" I ask him.
"I talked to my dad, he said he wants to meet you. He invited us to his house for lunch" Jace says, seeming a little nervous for my answer.
My eyes glow up right away. "Really?" I say excitedly.
Jace nods his head back at me. "Only if you want to", he says quietly. I feel nervous about meeting Jace's father right away, but I know there's nothing I'd like more than to know more about Jace and his family.
"I'd love to meet him" I say, breaking out into a little yawn.
"He'll be happy to hear that" Jace answer as turns on his back and pulls me onto his chest. He strokes my arm softly as I close my eyes, ready for sleep. "Mila?" Jace adds quietly. I hum in response. "This is going to sound cheesy as fuck, but I need to say it. And I mean it" Jace rambles.
"What's that?" I whisper back to him, stroking his chest with my fingertip.
"I never thought I'd ever say this to someone, but you feel like fucking home to me. You're part of my family now and it was great to be part of yours today" he whispers towards me.
My heart melts right away, as I slowly lift my head to lay my hand on his cheek. I could tear up for the third time today, but restrain myself from doing so. Placing a gentle kiss on Jace's lips, I whisper "You're my family too."
