I gasp as he kisses me, but he doesn’t hold back. Taking it as an opening, he inches his tongue inside. Like muscle memory, I kiss back, my mouth moving against his as if to saywelcome home, we missed you.It’s sloppy, and sexy, and everything I could’ve ever pictured a kiss in this environment would be.
In a room where I don’t know anyone, grinding against one another, we make out. I twist to fully face and give him my all. When his large hand grasps my ass possessively, I smile into the kiss.
Here, at this party, I can be free with a guy who I like way too much for my own good.
Jace may think that I don’t trust him, and in a way, I don’t. I don’t trust him not to leave me when he’s scared like I did to him two years ago. I don’t trust him to not leave me alone after he’s done with me like my parents had, and I know that this isn’t something that I should put on him. I’m trying my hardest not to. But here, at this party, I can trust and be free with him because no one knows us.
They don’t know our past or our present.
I’m scared of the fact that I may just still be in love with this man from my past. I’m scared that Cleo will find out and then want nothing to do with me because of this thing between him and I. I can’t lose her, but I want nothing more than to lose myself in him.
To be with him.
And that fact alone scares me the most.
It’s been two years since we’ve tangled ourselves deeply in one another’s web, and over a decade of me pining after the blond boy from around the corner.
I want Jace Heart, but what would that mean for my sanity?
Jace kisses me again, softly this time before resting his head against my own. He clears his throat. “I want you more than anything, but I much rather you when you’re sober.”
Wait no! Don’t stop the sexy kissing time…
Did I say that in my head or out loud?
Jace’s answering chuckle has my eyes widening, Oh my goodness…I said it out loud.
“You’re saying everything out loud, Sienna.” He grins, kissing my forehead tenderly. “Now let’s go do what we originally came here to do.”
He doesn’t have to tell me twice, I didn’t watch YouTube videos on how to do a keg stand for nothing. After an extensive bit of research, I’m pretty sure that a keg will hate to see me coming.
I’m going to be the keg stand queen.
Jace looks me up and down, eyes assessing before he digs in his pocket, pulling out a crumbled lump of grey material.
“What’s this?” I ask, crooking my neck at the glob as he smiles.
“Shorts…if you think I’m letting you do a keg stand in a dress, you’re mistaken.” He chuckles, handing them to me.
I roll my eyes as I take them, putting them on right then and there. I feel like Captain freaking Underpants, standing in front of him with a large pair of grey basketball shorts over my cute sparkly dress, but I digress.
Jace leads me through the house confidently, as if he’s been here before, and guides me straight to the backyard where a group of people stand around, talking and drinking. The backyard is smaller than I would’ve thought, but it may just be because there’s people crowding the space with two beer pong tables.
Jace grimaces as we stand in front of our mission, looking ever the skeptical man as I beam at it, smiling from ear to ear.
“Are you ready?”
Rolling my eyes, I put my hands on my hips.
“Baby, I wasbornready.”

Jace
SiennaJoneswasnotin fact “born ready”, after her fourth attempt at doing the keg herself, successfully shooting beer up her nose. I pull her away from the keg, trying to mask my laughter.
The frustrated pink haired girl pouts as she’s successfully taken away from the large barrel.
