Two chapters in two day to make up for being so belated on updating.
It was only one week before Christmas! I couldn't wait we had the lights up on our house and the stable, and each of our five Christmas trees up. I woke next to a warm, muscular, golden body remembering the events of last night. I knew he'd be mad if I woke him up so I had to wake him up gently. Taking my head off of his arm, I sneak my own hand down to his length and run my hand up and down it slowly. I hear a moan and know my master plan worked. I take my hand away, and rest my chin on his chest as he wakes up. Jace's eyes flutter open and I smile. "Good mornin' sunshine!" I say as he awakens. "What time is it?" And can you do more of what you just did? I was enjoying it very much." I slide my hand down to the area right before his near erection and draw circles with my middle finger. I give him a teasing smile and kiss his lips. I hop out of the huge bed, and open the curtains to the sun. I was once again only in one of Jace's flannel shirts but this time my bra and underwear weren't present. I crawl on top of Jace and rest my head on his chest as he runs my back. "What time did you say it was?"
"I didn't" I answer. I reach for my phone but a loud knock makes me stop and look to the door. Just in time to see Jon bursting through the door. I start laughing and hide my lower half below the covers, still on top of Jace.
"What is it now Jon? Wait let me guess there's a fire; you have to get a leg cut off; the whole house is flooding?" Jace asked impatiently.
"No I ju-" Jon tried
"If the house isn't on fire, or flooding or your leg wasn't cut off then leave."
"Sorry? I guess." Jon says.
"Jace. Was that really the way to handle it?" I ask him once Jon leaves.
"No" Jace mumbles. I sit up on his abdomen.
"He probably just wanted to tell us that church is in an hour and a half." I say holding my phone up for him to see the time.
"That's just enough time for more of what happened last night." Jace said with a devilish smirk.
"We are not going to have sex right before church!" I say giggling. I lightly smack his chest and get up. I head towards Jace's on suite and start the shower. Jace gets up and goes to his closet as I open his door and go to my own room in search of an outfit for church. I get a short red long sleeve shirt dress and some leggings and my black cowboy boots. I walk into the on suite in Jace's room wondering where my boyfriend went. I set my outfit on the counter and hear Jace mumble something from the shower. Damnit! "Jace." I whined.
"What?" He mimicked.
"That shower was for me!" I told him
"So come join me. We will save water and time."
After thinking about for a minute, I slip off my clothes and slide into the shower. "So you decided to join me?"
"Don't push it! I can lower our weekly amount of sex from at least 4 times to no more than once." I tease him with a smirk of my own as I wrap my arms around his waist, lining my own sex up with his, going up on my tip toes. He looks down at me with lust filling his eyes. Just to tease him, I turn around and grab the soap. I start to scrub and when I'm done I get out, and grab my purple towel-that stays in here because I stay with Jace nearly every night.
Jace groans as I get ready and get on my outfit for church. Jace gets out of the shower and gets ready as well. I exit the bathroom, get my phone and head to my own bathroom to do my makeup. When Jace and I are finished we meet in the living room and head to church.
"CAN YOU BELIEVE TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS?!" I yell at Jace to wake him up.
"Yeah I can especially now that you've YELLED IT IN MY FACE!" He whisper-shouts. "Let me also remind you that your parents are in the next room." Jace says.
"They're already awake. Mom came in earlier to wake us up but instead walked out after taking a picture of us," I say rolling my eyes "but I was awake for it all because I had just gotten back from the bathroom." I take a breath after saying all that. I get off of him, and put on my glasses. I put my hair in a messy bun and look in the mirror to check my appearance.
We are having my grandparents and aunt and uncle and little cousin, Emily. Jace's family is here too. Including Alec and Isabelle's boyfriends.
I drag Jace out of bed, get him in a T-shirt and some shorts and convince him downstairs to see my family and his family. When I get down there, Izzy greets me with a hug and Alec gives a small hello. Jace's parents come in tonight and I'm assuming grandma and grandpa are still sleeping. I turn the coffee maker on and get my big white mug out of the cabinet. I set it under the coffee dispenser and walk over to Jace and lean into his side.
"So Miss Isabelle how are things? I thought Simon was coming with you." I ask Izzy as Magnus comes in. "MAGS! I've missed you so much!" I tell him giving him a huge hug. " Hey biscuit! How are things?"
"Great! I got a boyfriend!" I tell him with a giggle.
"Who I need details!"
"You'll never guess!" Izzy says
"I think all the details Mags wants is right here" Jace says walking up behind me and putting his arms around my small frame.
"Clarissa Fray you did not!" Mags said a smile growing on his face. "How long?"
"A little less than a year." I answered.
"Congrats. Never thought that would happen but okay."
As Jace and I tacked up our horses, Jace throwing his 18" saddle on Tucker, his roping horse and throwing mine up on a barrel horse we just got because I'd been starting to like rodeos and watching barrel racing. I tried it out one day and ended up loving it. So we got Rosie. Sounds weird but I mean we are rich... When he finished with the bridles, we went to the back arena and I started to warm up.
"I think we need some music." I say
"I agree." Jace replies.
I turn on some holiday music, plug it into the speakers and start to trot around the arena. After doing a few barrel patterns and getting roped by Jace, we went inside, unpacked the horses, put them away and went inside.
When dinner was over and we all went to bed, Jace took my hands pulling me into the living room. He had pain and love in his eyes. I wondered why. He sat me down and told me the news. I knew he enrolled in the Marines. But I didn't know he'd have to be deployed to Iraq the day after Christmas.
