By the time Jace arrived at his house he was furious. He was disgusted with himself getting turned on by Lorissa so easily. She hadn't even done anything to make him this way, his body just seemed out of control around her. He was aching by this point, he'd hoped he could walk it off but that hadn't worked. It was like seeing her again after so many weeks had torn something open inside him. He craved her the second he saw her and his mind couldn't shut it off this time. He was so hard he was in pain. He was going to have to get off. Well, he was not going to masturbate while thinking about her. He could manage that small a victory he told himself. He closed his eyes and tried to picture Emmara, Liliana, anyone else but the only thing he could see was an image of him pushing Lorissa back down on that table she'd been standing by, flipping her skirt up and taking her right there.
Cursing, he flung himself into the washing room, turning the cold water on full blast and jumping into the stream. He felt the power of his favored element washing over him, frigid and soothing at once, helping to calm his wild urges. He stayed under the freezing deluge until his teeth were chattering. His clothes were drenched, another thing for him to be pissed about. At least his erection was gone. With a sigh he shut off the water, went into his bedroom and changed into a comfortable robe and pants.
He glanced at the door to his work room, trying to decide if he had the necessary focus for completing the next step of the spell. As he considered it, another image of Lorissa came to him, this time when he first saw her in Niv-Mizzet's library at the beginning of all this. Who could have known such an innocent would so easily disrupt his world?
Lorissa had a nice time visiting with her parents, especially since her brothers hadn't said a word to her about Jace although she had the feeling they wanted to. They probably didn't wish to bring anything up in front of their father, who was very protective of his little girl. Dinner was delicious as always, her father had quite a way with fire and he loved to cook. Salinda was only too happy to let Nostav do it since she was generally in charge of the kitchen. It was rare the five of them got to be together, so it was early morning before Lorissa found herself finally getting home. Nix was exhausted, she'd stopped by to pick him up since she knew she'd be at her parents' house late. The great cat had been a present from them ostensibly, though she knew it really came from her mother. They'd given him to her when he was a cub, about the time she moved out on her own. He was a terrific deterrent to people on the street but that had been the point she was sure. She got Nix some fresh water, then took a quick shower and climbed into bed.
It had been a long day, she should have been exhausted. Instead she kept thinking about how hot Jace had looked at the Church of Deals. Every time she had just about got him out of her head, he showed up again. At this rate she was never going to get over the arrogant man. In the meantime she was going to have to do something about the hollow sensation between her legs. She closed her eyes and pictured him while she pleasured herself. She'd touched herself while thinking about him before, but she'd never allowed herself to actually use his name. It just seemed too pathetic considering he had never wanted her in the frantic way she wanted him. But tonight she let herself indulge, moaning Jace in the heat of the moment.
Miles away, he heard her mental cry of his name like the crack of a whip. It shattered his concentration, utterly ruining the culmination of the memory storage spell he'd been working on for weeks. At the moment he didn't care, he was instantly on fire because the way she'd panted out his name left no doubt what she was doing.
For weeks he had carefully avoided her, aware she was becoming an obsession. He wanted her with a passion that was consuming him and he couldn't allow it. He'd tried sleeping with a few women to get her out of his head and the results had been disastrous. One time he'd accidentally called a woman by her name, another time he hadn't been able to stay hard without closing his eyes and thinking about her. After that he'd opted for celibacy until the madness subsided. Unfortunately it lingered on, growing worse as time passed. Running into one another that evening had struck a devastating blow to the defenses he'd built up. Now, her call to him unleashed the desire he'd been fighting for what felt like an eternity.
He grasped onto the threads of her thoughts and followed them, racing out of his lab and across town at a reckless pace. He'd never been to her home but he found it with ease, however he was dismayed to find her front door was locked. He nearly put his foot through it before he recovered enough sanity to recall he could simply teleport inside. He thought he heard growling as he made his way through the living room but he didn't care, he kept moving forward until he was in her bedroom.
Lorissa was just winding down when Jace materialized by her bed as if conjured by her fantasies. He stared down at her with eyes so dark they were nearly black. She started to sit up, startled, but he shoved her hand out of the way, grabbed her by the hips and dragged her to the edge of the mattress. He used his mouth to bring her bliss, reveling in the sounds she made. He'd done this for other partners before, but he'd never been aroused by it outside of their enjoyment. Jace was always good with his mouth and now was no exception she dimly realized.
The moment she finished, Jace was on his feet in an instant, pulling at his pants, throwing his belt to the floor. This time she was the one to slap his hands away as she freed him and returned the pleasure he'd given her. It was so good and he was ready to lose it already. He stepped away and she blinked up at him until he pushed her onto her back and climbed onto the bed over her before dropping his face down between her thighs once more, they reached ecstasy simultaneously. He almost fell on top of her in the aftermath, he was nearly without strength. He rolled to one side of her, an arm thrown over his eyes, and tried to absorb the enormity of what he'd just done. Not only had he failed to keep his promise to himself to stay away from her, he'd practically broken into her house chasing the trail of her thoughts without her knowledge or permission.
Lorissa turned on her side to face him, hyper aware of the fact the man she'd been daydreaming about for months was actually here in her bed. How was the question. She'd never told him where she lived and for that matter, how had he even known she was home, let alone masturbating. "Jace, how did you-"
"Next time we do this slow," he muttered, cutting her off before she could get any further. "And naked."
"Next time," she demanded incredulously, but he was gone. The bastard had actually bounced out on her again! She shrieked and threw her pillow at the spot he'd just vacated. Moments later an answering roar came from her living room an instant before Nix crashed through her bedroom door, splintering the wood with ease. The cat's ears were pinned back, his mane bristled as he protectively lunged to her side. She had completely forgotten about her beloved pet.
"Some guard you turned out to be," she scolded him, wincing at how much it was going to cost her to replace that door. Then the ridiculousness of the situation set in and made her laugh, and as she reached down to scratch his ears in reassurance she saw the belt Jace had discarded earlier. It was the second one he'd left in her possession, she was starting to have a collection of them.
