Chapter Twenty-Seven

There was no joking about him this time. There was no lightness in his voice, which for some reason caused my skin to prickle. For a second I flashed back to the thought of reading his name in the papers. Maybe I was wrong about him, maybe he was dangerous. The fact that his words had just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end should have scared me, but because of whatever it is that is wrong in my head, it didn’t. If anyone else in this world, or at this point other worlds, had made a comment about owning me, I would have killed them. Jace on the other hand, had just made me a very turned on little girl. Wow! Another thing to add to my list of confusions. He wasn’t going to win this. It was my job to shock people, so I let the little game of flirtations begin.

“Well Jace, I have to tell you, I kind of like the idea of that being a threat.” My voice was a little huskier than it should have been and I didn’t even care.

“Mmmm, I was hoping you’d say that.” Before I had the chance to say anything he closed the distance between the two of us, forcing me to back up so that he couldn’t press up against me. A few steps more and there was nowhere for me to go. With my back against the wall, I was completely at his mercy and I felt his body tightly pressing against mine.

“Hmm, seems like you have nowhere to go, do you?” he purred, so close that his lips were almost brushing mine with each word. “Oh my,” was about the only thought that I could form in my head.

I don’t know what trigger got flipped with him, but I liked it and much to my troubled mind, I liked it a lot. I moved forward and tried to kiss him, but before my mouth touched his, he grabbed my face with his hands.

“Not Yet Cat,” I actually whimpered a little. What in the world was going on here? “I want you to understand what I am saying so let my words sink in and try not to speak until you have understood them.” I shook my head submissively. There was nothing else for me to do and then he went on. “I don’t know what it is about you, but I want you. I want you more than I have ever wanted anything in my life.”

I opened my mouth and shut it again. He had asked me not to talk until I thought it all through, and right then, for what may have been the first time in my life, I listened to someone. Was it OK that he wanted me? Was it OK that my body was begging him to kiss me? Should I have been worried about the mood swing that he had just had? These questions were flying around in my mind.
