nbsp; “You are so fucking beautiful,” I whispered in her ear. “I swear I’ve never felt anything so fucking good in all my life.”

She responded by clutching me tighter. Her hips began to move with mine, and she was soon panting her sweet little breaths against my cheek. I pushed my hips harder against her, moving rhythmically against her pubic bone.

“Oh god, Jace…”

The desperation in her voice almost drove me to breaking point. I kissed her softly, drinking in all her little gasps as I moved. “God I love being inside you,” I breathed against her neck. “I think it’s my most favorite place on Earth.”

She thrust harder against me, a sexy as sin whimper escaping her lips, and then she was falling apart in my arms again. Not even bothering to try to hold back, I exploded with her, shockwaves shooting through me at a mind blowing pace.

We collapsed in each other’s arms, breathing hard and fast. My mind immediately started reeling over the words that had somehow spilled from my mouth, and I was more than a little fucking shocked to realize I’d never said anything more truthful in my life. Being inside her was definitely my most favorite place.

With a slow dawning revelation, I knew right there and then, I was falling for Mia Campbell. How the fuck had I let that happen?

God damned and motherfucking shit.

Chapter 13

Mia

It was almost lunch time when I eventually came out of my comatose state. Seeing as it’d almost been two o’clock in the morning by the time Jace had left, I wasn’t surprised.

I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks when I remembered all the things Jace and I had gotten up to the night before. It was as though I was a completely different person when I was with him. The shy, nervous girl I normally was just didn’t exist.

After that first mind numbing time, Jace showed me again how skillful he was with his tongue, making me come undone when I was sure I didn’t have it in me to do again. Then, deciding to be brave, I attempted to pleasure him the same way. It was a bit of trial and error, but by the way Jace groaned and swore, I came to realize there really was no right or wrong.

Having Jace in my mouth like that had been the biggest rush. It made me feel powerful and in control for the first time in my life. By the time he’d finished, I was practically panting for more. I hadn’t been exactly sure how these things worked. I’d heard once guys came, they were pretty much done, but I’d climbed up Jace’s body on a mission. I’d acted on impulse, straddling him and taking my time tasting him like he’d tasted me, and the second I started rubbing myself on him, he was more than ready to go again.

Now, as I lay naked in my bed, I smiled and stretched, the soreness of my muscles only a reminder of how much more Jace meant to me. Climbing out of bed, I threw on my pajamas and went to take a shower.

Aiden was in the kitchen making toasted sandwiches when I finally dragged myself out there. He slid a plate across the bench to me and smiled. “You and I are having a movie day today,” he declared.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Are we just?”

“Yes, we are.”

He looked down at the sandwich press and his smile slipped. My heart instantly sunk. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. Not really.” He sighed. “Rich called this morning.”

Rich was the band’s new agent. “And?”

He turned to face me, his expression dead serious. “He’s got a gig for us. We’re going to be opening for The Dark Hybrid when they tour this summer.”

I squealed. “Oh my god! That’s incredible. The Dark Hybrid are huge!”

Aiden smiled, but it wasn’t a happy smile. I didn’t understand it. He should be jumping up and down. I was. “Is that not what you wanted?”

He frowned. “It is…but it’s a six month tour, baby girl. And then Rich says we’re likely to go straight in a recording booth.”

Reality hit me like a sledge hammer. Aiden would be gone for months. And Jace too…

A tinge of panic caused my heart to flitter sickeningly. But I’d kind of known that’s what would happen when they made it, didn’t I?

I sighed and forced a smile to my lips. “Oh well, I’ll just have to come see you whenever I can.”

The smile he returned me was forced too. We both knew it wasn’t just a case of missing each other. Aiden, Kaeli, and my mom were the only ones who knew the true extent of my anxiety attacks, and could help me if anything happened.

“It makes me feel sick,” he said quietly.
