Chapter 92

“Um…anyone want any coffee?” Josh asks, obviously trying to get himself in the conversation and ease the tension. Every single person turned to look at him with daggers in their eyes. His eyes widened in fear a little at our gaze before he smiles timidly and suggests “…’Shut up Josh?’” Jace nods at him, telling him he got it spot on. ** So far I had two things on my to do list. 1.       Kill Rob Dixon. 2.       Get the fuck out of this life. When I list it like that it seems pretty straight forward. Unfortunately it was anything but that. Number 1 on the list would be more straight forward than number 2, but still it’s going to be more trouble than its worth. Although killing that son of a bitch will be worth it in the long run, I was sure of that. Number 2 was the one that seemed near enough impossible. Not only did I have to figure out how I was going to escape without being killed by Ed, or Ed killing anyone else I loved, I also now had to come up with a plan behind Chris and Connor’s backs so the idiots didn’t get themselves killed because of me. I now understand why people drink heavily to forget their troubles. I slipped on a pair of light ripped skinny jeans and a black tank top, knowing I would be able to move around easily in it. I grabbed my black leather jacket off the chair in my room and put it on, un tucking my hair out of the neck as I turned around. I jumped slightly as I saw Jace stood leaning against the door frame, a faint smirk on his lips. “Jesus, you’re getting better at the whole creeping around thing.” I tell him, taking a small breath as I realised he honestly scared the crap out of me just now. His smirk widened as he pushed himself off the door and walked over to me slowly, his eyes drifting down and then back up as if to take me in. “What can I say, living in a house full of assassins really helps you improve your ninja skills.” He replies, and a small smile appears on my lips. He finally reaches me, his eyes connecting with mine as he slides his hands along my hips before wrapping them around my lower back. The tingles rush through my skin at him being this close, like they always did. “You’re about as ninja as my great aunt Gloria.” I mutter, my voice coming out lower than expected. The corner of his mouth twitches as his eyes land on my lips “I’ve met aunt Gloria remember? I wouldn’t want to mess with that woman and that wooden stick of hers.” “Why do I have a feeling that you’re about to make a joke about another wooden stick?” I ask him, dragging my eyes from his lips and glancing down for a second “Which is poking me as we speak.” He was full on smirking now as he moved his face closer, his lips brushing mine ever so slightly “I wasn’t going to say any such thing, but now that you mention it…” He closes the distance between us and kisses me. I instantly close my eyes at the feel of his lips moving against mine, relaxing immediately as he pulls me closer to his body. I wrap my arms around his neck as I tangle my hands at the back of his hair, biting his bottom lip slightly causing him to groan against my mouth. His hand which was on my lower back slides down until he is cupping my behind, and in one swift movement he lifts me off the ground causing my legs to wrap around his waist and walks to the desk, placing me on top of it as he continues to make my whole body weak at the feel of his kiss. My hand went to the hem of his top before I slid my fingers inside, feeling up his torso slowly and then back down until I slipped my fingers into the waistband of his jeans. He let out another groan and his hand which was brushing up my thigh tightened as I teased my way along the lines of the V on his stomach. “We might wanna close the door.” I tell him in between kisses, knowing I should pull away but finding it physically impossible right now. “Huh huh.” He moaned against my mouth, not showing any sign he was about to move anytime soon as his hands were now sliding up my hips, his thumbs brushing the sides of my breasts causing my own moan. “No really Jace, I think we would give poor Josh a heart attack.” To be fair, I wasn’t much better than him. Instead of moving towards the door, I pulled him closer by the waist of his boxers until I could feel his erection against me. “Or a boner.” Jace suggested breathlessly, deepening the kiss once again. I smiled against his mouth at his words, before I once again got distracted and pulled him closer still, until he thrust up against me and the sound that came out of my mouth was a little louder than I expected. I had to get him to shut the door before I really went past the point of no return. I pushed him away reluctantly, and he narrowed his eyes at me playfully as he got the hint. He raised his hands in front of him “Okay, Okay.” He walked over to the door and shut it quickly, turning back to me with a mocking smile on his face “Happy now?” I grinned back at him, showing a full set of teeth as I nodded like a child. He laughed slightly, shaking his head in embarrassment for me. He walked back over to me, his eyes darkening once again as we both remembered the reason the door needed to be shut in the first place. He placed his hands on my hips and gave me a genuine smile, which I returned. “See once we get out of here we won’t have to worry about shutting any doors.” I instantly froze as I heard his words, all the desire and need I felt a minute ago washed away as I realised what he had just said. Then the guilt washed through me as I realised how much I have led him on. He must have felt the change in me because he moved his head back slightly and looked at me questioningly “Faith?” My mouth opened and closed slightly as I tried to find the right words, knowing that no matter how I said it I would sound like a bitch. I knew last night that getting into bed with him was selfish, because he could never have normal life with me. I was leading him on because even though I wanted nothing more than to be with him, I was not going to put his life in danger because of me. He had asked me to run away with him before in the church basement, and I told him it was impossible. Now that I had told him I was getting out, he had obviously thought I meant with him. As much as I wanted that to happen, I knew I would never do that to him. “Faith no offence love but I can’t really carry on with you sitting there frozen like that. That’s a little too necrophilia for me.” “I’m going on my own.” I blurted out, knowing I had to tell him now before this went any further. Turns out my to do list was a lot more complicated than I first anticipated. .
