Chapter 14

When we arrive back at the house I sigh in relief as the air conditioning swallows me up. Jace and I would have the house to ourselves for another hour or so until the others get back. At lunch, Alec and Magnus had already been planning a party that was going to take place later in the evening.

"So, do you want to go onto the beach with me?" Jace asks running a hand through his golden locks.

I look up to his 6ft tall frame and smile. "Ok, give me 5 minutes?"

"Sure." He says and wonders out onto the deck at the back of the house towards the ocean.

I race upstairs and strip out of my clothes from the day; pulling on a black bikini with a short blue backless summer dress over the top before grabbing my sun glasses and making my way back downstairs.

As I walk through the glass doors leading to the spectacular view, and I don't mean the beach. I mean Jace. Shirtless. No top. Topless. Model worthy abs firmly visible under his golden skin. My gaze travels down to the shorts he's wearing that he must have changed into whilst I was getting ready.

"Checking me out again are we?" Jace chuckles.

I snap my head up away from his gorgeous physique and glare at him. "In your dreams." I snap, trying desperately hard not to smirk.

He raises an eyebrow, "Oh, it definitely happens in my dreams." He states and flashes that cocky grin.

Smacking him on the shoulder as I walk past, I make my way onto the beach. But before I can step one bare foot onto the sand I get swooped up over Jace's shoulder. "Ahhh Jace!" I shout, "Put me down!"

He ignores the comment and begins to run down the beach towards the water with me over his shoulder.

I flail my legs around and beat on his back with my fists but he just laughs in response as he enters the water.

I can't help it and laugh. Loud. We get until he is waist deep before lowering me down his front slowly. Tears continue to stream down my face as I try not to get under. Although, I fail miserably as my hips reach the water.

"Jace!" I laugh and squirm around as he continues to lower me into the water. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist to hold myself as far out of the ocean as possible.

We're both laughing now. Fat tears and everything as I struggle. I turn my face up to look at him and pause, realising the position we are in. Me clinging to him like a spider monkey. Pressed completely against him.

Our laughter fades out and we stare at each other for several seconds. Out of character for me, I reach down and haul the wet dress of my body until I am left in my bikini wrapped around him.

Jace looks down and swallows loudly before bringing his eyes back to mine. "You're so beautiful." He whispers.

A blush forms on my cheeks but I don't try to hide it. I know he loves it when I blush.

"That blush is so fucking sexy." He says in a rugged voice and lowers his lips to mine.

The kiss starts out slow as his lips more over mine softy. I curl my hands into his hair and bring myself closer to him as he wraps one arm around my middle as the other ones goes underneath my thighs to hold me up.

His tongue prods, asking for entrance and I open my mouth willingly as it slides in, tasting me. I slide one of my hands down his chest as the kiss deepens and a groaning noise comes out from deep inside him.

Just as I push myself closer to him I hear, "It's you again Red Head! Do you have no respect?" I laugh loudly on his mouth and pull away before turning to see the same old woman as the day I was surfing. "What is it with you young people molesting each other in public places?" She mutters loudly.

"Actually ma'm," Jace says loud enough for her to hear. "This is private property so you shouldn't be standing on our part of the beach." He states.

I swing my gaze round to him and see him grinning. "You just told that old woman there to get off of our beach." I say, eyes crinkling but mouth slightly open.

"What?" He says innocently. "She was talking rudely to my little Shorty! I will not tolerate that!" He says flabbergasted and grins.

I look over my shoulder to see the balding woman shake her head in disgust and walk slowly away and down the beach.

"You are so mean!" I say to Jace but can't help at laughing. I smack him lightly on the side of the face and he smiles wickedly.

"What?" I ask, watching his smile grow.

Without warning he throws me off him and chucks me further out to sea so I splash under the surface.

"Traitor!" I shout when I resurface, spluttering water.

Looking over the water I notice him holding something in each hand. I squint through the water in my eyes and see one holding the dress I discarded whilst the other holds what looks like a bikini top. Wtf?

Suddenly I feel cold. Not just a bikini top. My bikini top. I look down through the water that hits my neck and notice the top gone. Letting out a shriek I cover my exposed front as I try to keep my head above the water level.

"Jace you fucker!" I shout loudly. "Give me back my bikini top you prick!" When I'm angry I tend to spew out curses to make myself feel better.

He just laughs and wades through the water to the shore and stands on the beach. "Why don't you come and get it?" He asks, crossing his legs, looking much too comfortable with the situation.

"WHY?" I shout, "WHY DO YOU THINK I CAN'T GO OUT AND GET IT?" Luckily the water covers me up, but there is no way I am going to walk onto the beach topless. No way in hell.

Jace's face spells innocent. "Oh right!" He states, raising the hand with the top in. "Looks like I have your top." He bellows a laugh and grins wickedly.

Just at that moment the one and only Lightworm comes sauntering down the beach. "What is all he shouting about fuckers and pricks?" He asks, quirking an eyebrow.

"Alec," I say sweetly. "Could you do me a favour darling and grab that top out of Jace's hand." I ask still hovering in the water to keep myself hidden.

"Top huh?" Alec says smirking, "And what top would your be wearing at the moment Red Head?"

I glare at him, furious and shout, "I'm not wearing one you sorry fucker!"

"So I'm a fucker too am I?" He and Jace grin at each other.

"If you don't get me my top Lightworm, you will never be able to touch my butt again!" I throw the threat at him.

He loses the grin, "You wouldn't dare." He says in a low voice.

"Oh I would." I say back at him. "It's your choice."

Alec flicks his hand out and nicks the top right out of Jace's hand.

"Oi!" Golden boy shouts, trying to get the bikini top back from Alec. "Give that back!"

"Not a chance mate, she won't let me touch that gorgeous butt if I don't." Alec says miserably but flashes me a cheeky wink.

"Here you go, Red." He holds up the top. "I got it. Now come and put it on."

My mouth opens with shock. "Alec you son of a bitch!"

"Language Honey. Wouldn't want to give the neighbours the wrong idea now would we?" Magnus says who appears the other side of Alec.

I groan in frustration and cover up my front tightly before wading out the water until I stand directly in front of Alec. All three of their mouths are open. I could have been fooled thinking Alec and Magnus were gay but the spell broke when Magnus shot his fist up in the air and shouted, "Yes girl, you work it!" I couldn't help but laugh at his outburst.

"Now gimmy!" I say to Alec and fumble for the top whilst trying to keep myself covered.

Once I have it I turn away from them, lower my arms after making sure no one is around and tie the top back on.

I swing around and glare at Jace in particular. I hold my glare for a few seconds, swing it over to Alec and then snatch my dress out of Jace's hand before brushing passed them and sauntering up the beach to the house with a swing in my hips. Just before I enter the house I turn around and flip them off. They all stand in exactly in the same place, watching me and grinning wildly.
