Jace's P.O.V.
I wake at the crack a dawn to movement on the side of me I look to see a very petite pale skin woman with vibrant red hair. I watch as the covers slide down her small frame and lay at her waste showing she's just in her bra and panties I can't help but smile. Clarissa looks so peaceful while she sleeps I can also tell she has a wall up that I want to break down to get to know the real her. I have my walls up as well that's how I know she has her own I feel as if I slowly let her in she will let me in only time will tell.
I slowly rise from the bed, so I won't wake her and head to the bathroom for a shower I turn the shower on, so it can warm up and strip from my only piece of clothing and discard my black boxers in the hamper and step into the hot shower I put my head down and place my hands on the tiled wall to hold myself up as I let the water cascade over me.
As I let the water wash over me I can't help but think of the events that happen between Clarissa and I.
(Flashback)
"There is something else I can do that I know will drive you crazy" she replies seductively.
As those words left her mouth I couldn't control myself any more I pinned her against the elevator wall and kissed her with force which she responded with the same amount of force. I place my hands under her thighs and lift her up, so she can wrap her legs around my waste and I hold her up with my body.
I start to trail kisses from her jaw to her neck and I start to suck and bite on a spot on her neck which she starts to whimper which make me groan and I press my erection against her center.
I pull back just in time to hear the elevator ding I look her in the eyes to see lust and wanting I press my lips to hers once again as I carry her up the stairs to our room.
Once inside the room I place her on her feet and push her towards the bed I let my hands roam up and down her body as her hands goes straight for my pants getting ready to take it off.
I pull back and she looks at me in confusion I look her in the eyes and give a chaste kiss before I speak.
"Maybe we should stop I think we had a little too much to drink and when we do decide to get intimate I want us to be sober" I say.
I see her eyes go soft for moment before its gone I probably imagined it "I am not drunk" she states
"You're not sober either" I say
I watch as she opens and close her mouth like a fish out of water like she going to say something then she shakes her head and gives me a small smile
"I am going to get changed" she says and then walks into the bathroom.
(End of Flashback)
It's not that I didn't want to I just want this relationship to work she is going to be my wife and I want it to be real even though it is arranged I want our relationship to be more then a arrangement and I also don't want our first time to be a drunken night I want it to be meaningful
I don't see her as every other girl I been with I see more to her even if she has this wall up I can see this tough girl act is a facade just to shut everyone out, but I am going to show her the way I hope she can show me that we don't have to hide behind these walls we use to protect ourselves.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the water turning cold I wash and rinse quickly before stepping out and wrapping a towel around my waste I head towards the room, so I can go to the walk-in closet to get ready for my day.
As I step into the room Clarissa is nowhere to me seen so I go straight into the closet to get ready.
Clary's P.O.V.
I wake to the sound of the shower running I turn on my back and look at the ceiling for a little bit thinking about last night I thought it was a little sweet that Jace wanted to wait but I also am not use to someone telling me NO that was a first especially when it came to sex so I placed a blank expression on my face.
I learned a long time ago that emotions are a weakness, so I do my best to hide every emotion possible unless it's hate or anger I didn't really care who so those emotions.
I get off the bed grab Jace's shirt and put it over my head because I was planning on having a lazy day in, so I don't have nowhere to be so might as well make breakfast and explore my new home.
I make my way down the stairs pass the sitting room and to the kitchen. I found the kitchen last night when I woke up thirsty it's just pass the stairs with a dining room connected.
The kitchen has black marble tops and stainless steel I go straight for the coffee and start the coffee machine and then I collect my ingredients for breakfast.
Moments later I am setting the dining table with a stack of pancakes, French toast bacon. sausage, scrambled eggs, and omelets because I don't know what Jace likes whatever is left over I will give to my boys.
When I stay in Simon and Jordan come to check on me before they do whatever they do if we don't have plans to watch movies or hang out, they come and check rooms and my surroundings and make sure I don't need anything or plan on going out because they don't want nothing to happen to me, so they make sure I am completely OK before they be gone for a while.
I move back to the kitchen, so I can place the bowls of fruit on the table strawberry's, sliced mango's, grapes, pineapples and blueberries I am a fruit lover and I am use to making a big breakfast because if you seen how much my brother and father ate you would understand and when I was with my parents Greta didn't make our breakfast often I also place two cups of orange juice and as I am about to place the two cups of coffee Jace walks in and stops right in his tracks and looks at the table then at me.
"Are we having guess over that I wasn't aware of" he asks me with a questioning eyebrow as he takes a seat at the table
I roll my eyes " Do you honestly think I will have people for breakfast while I am only wearing your shirt" I ask before I take a seat next to him
I watch as he looks my body over and then smirks at me "I hope not because you look good just in my shirt and I don't need anyone to see how good"
I smirk at him "Well no need to worry Goldie that won't be happening"
He glares at me while I start grabbing some food and placing it on my plate and after a moment he starts to do the same " So why did you make so much food if it's just us"
I shrug " I didn't know what you liked so I made a bit of everything and I am used to making a big breakfast" he nods, and we start to eat in silence it feels natural like we been doing this for a while like we known each other all our lives
Jace breaks the silence by asking me if I have plans today which I shake my head no I tell him I planned on having a lazy day and explore the penthouse and if there was business to handle that my brother could handle it.
I get up to place my things in the dishwasher as I finish my black cup of coffee Jace follows suit and places his things in the dishwasher to.
"Do you need anything before I go." he ask I look at him to see if he was joking but he looks serious I looked at him confused but shook my head he nodded and came close to me he looks me in the eyes
"If you need anything you have my number don't hesitate to call me if you need to."
"Okay." I say he smiles at me and then kisses me on my forehead before he is gone which brings this feeling back in my stomach I can still feel his lips where he kissed me, and I shake myself out of my daze he is doing these things to me that I am excited about but a little scared.
It's been about two hours since Jace left and I started to explore the house I went to each of the six bedrooms to see what they were there was a music room, a training room (which didn't surprise me he had one) one room was empty then a game room with pool table, gambling table and a bar, guest room and my most favorite room was the floor to ceiling library which I fell in love with because I love to read.
Simon and Jordan were here an hour ago they checked everything and ate most of the food that was left over there was enough that they even took some with them talking about how are they going to survive without my cooking which I laughed at them and then they were off.
Now I am freshly showered in the sitting room wrapped up in a blanket watching a movie because after last night I feel like I need a day to myself just me a movie and some Ben & Jerry I think I am getting home sick I am not use to being away from my home and I must live somewhere else that I am not use to yet.
I think this place is beautiful, but it doesn't feel like home I am just going to have to start making it feel that way though I don't know how I'm not even use to being home by myself because there is always someone in my parents' house.
I was pulled out of my thoughts to my phone vibrating next to me, so I place the Ben & Jerry on the table and pause my movie to look at my notification saying that I have a text I open it up to see it's from an unknown number I open the text and what I see makes me pale.
It's a picture of Jace and I real close at the bar last night but that is not what freaks me out but the message it self You even look more beautiful in person I can't wait until your completely be mines so don't get to comfortable because soon you will be. I just sit there thinking who could that be and how the hell did they get my number, and have I seen them before do I know them all these questions going off in my head I honestly am a little scared and I am not going to tell anyone because I don't need extra security and damn sure don't need anyone to babysit me.
I text the number back asking who is this and I get a response admittedly Just know I know who you are and soon you will know who I am until I see you again. I stare at my phone for a minute this can't be real it's probably a joke but the way I feel when I read that message tells me it's not a joke and now I really have to watch my back but not just mine the people closest to me because I have a feeling this person won't let anything get in their way and now the only thing left to do is to figure out who this can be and what they want.
