I'm back again! Thank you all for your support! I'm trying to crank out all the chapters I can.

Please review and as always Cassandra owes the rights to the Mortal Instruments!

I woke up around 4pm. Since the last day of the semester was Friday, I couldn't distract myself with homework. Turning over, I pushed Simon until he was awake.

"What the fuck" he moaned, nearly rolling on top of me. I got out of bed, and walked over to the mirror.

"Get up" I said, trying to rake a brush through my unruly hair. "It's literally almost night time"

As I turned around to find a hair tie, he whipped a pillow at my head. "That doesn't mean you have to wake me up too" he whined, still half asleep.

My hair was a nightmare, it was curlier than usual and wild. I silently prayed that the boys weren't home.

Leaving Simon to continue to sleep, I opened my door and started down the stairs. The first thing I noticed was the vacant living room, and upon further investigation, Sebastian's car wasn't home. Which meant Jace wasn't here either.

Free house I silently whooped, and ran up the stairs again to take a shower. In a rush to get out of my clothes from this morning, I threw them off and hastily got in the shower.

I moaned when I felt the hot water fall down my body. Aline's beach house had one of those fucked up shower knobs that literally had to be turned like a rubix cube to turn on and as a result I had to take the coldest shower of my life.

Massaging the shampoo through my hair, I tilted my head back into the stream and sighed, imagining Jace playing in the sand yesterday. I felt my cheeks flush and instinctively my hand started traveling down my body, reaching for the place that throbbed.

When I got there, my body cooed as I made contact, biting my lips as I envisioned Jace's long fingers. The hot water turned me on even more.

Mmmm.. Jace

"Need a towel?" A deep voice rang out. I screamed so loud my ears hurt, and I quickly yanked the shower curtain partially open so I could at least see the murderer before I died.

"What the FUC-" my yell was cut off when my startled eyes looked up at him.

It was Jace, clad in jeans and t-shirt, with a fluffy pink towel held in his hand. He was obviously napping too, his hair was diarrayed and his eyes were dark.

"Um, get the fuck out" I squeaked, shielding my body behind the plastic shower curtain. "Also why are you here?"

Jace laughed and ran his free hand through his hair. "Sebastian left to go to the store but he'll be back soon. I woke up to go to the bathroom but it seems occupied" he winked, placing the towel on the counter. "So.." he murmured, stepping closer to me with a smirk on his face, "room for one more?"

Remembering what Simon said to me about avoiding him, I promptly shut the shower curtain in his face.

"Nope, like you said, occupied. Use the downstairs bathroom" I huffed, I definitely wanted him in the shower too, but I didn't want to fall under his spell and get lost.

He lingered for a moment. "Clary" he started, his voice like silk. Even though I couldn't see him, I still turned to listen to his words through the curtain.

"I'm sorry you saw me with Kaelie, it's not like that" He sighed, and I could hear him fidgeting. "It's just that.. " he trailed off, not finishing what he was saying.

I blushed, never seeing Jace so… shy. I peeked over the shower curtain at him again. He was biting his lip, and he was standing a foot away from my shower.

"Jace" I said, waiting for him to meet my eyes. "You don't have to explain it, we're just friends" I said, instantly regretting the words coming out of my stupid mouth.

But it was true. Although he flirted with me, he has never touched me like he did Kaelie. I liked him so much it was scary, and if he didn't like me back it would be awful. I refuse to just be another hook up under his belt.

He looked down at me with an unreadable look, and walked to the door. Before he left, he looked back at me and flashed me a forced grin. "Next time, make sure the door is shut" he said, and closed the door behind him.

With my back sliding down the wall, I thought about what I had said to him.

We're just friends.

We're just friends.

"I'm a fucking idiot" I moaned, cupping my head in my hands. The shower still pouring down on me. Fuck Simon and his stupid plan. Acting uninterested is literally the worst.

Reaching up to turn off the shower, I wrapped the pink towel around me and tiptoed into my room. Quietly changing into shorts and a t-shirt to not wake Simon up, I went downstairs to grab some food.

Literally to my horror, Jace was down there too, with his back turned to me. His broad shoulders were tight against his shirt. His arms were preoccupied with reaching up to grab the cereal box from the highest shelf in our kitchen, which caused his shirt to ride up slightly exposing his lower half.

I was standing in the doorway, shying watching him while I envisioned the things I wanted to do to him.

Fuck the plan. It's not too late.

"Jace" I said, my voice deep with desire. I could feel the fiery blush creeping across my cheeks.

He turned to me, his eyes drinking in my body. His jaw was tight, and his eyes were dark and mysterious.

"Yes?" he responded, placing his hands on the counter behind him, I could see the veins bulge in his arms.

I fidgeted with shaking hands and forced myself to keep his stare. It made me blush even more, I literally wanted to pass out.

"Why did you say my name when you were with Kaelie?" I whispered, looking up at him. I could tell that my eyes were filled with desire. "It was before you saw me"

I was scared of his answer, if Kaelie lied to me, I'd literally go in the back and dig my grave out of embarrassment.

His face was unreadable, and he took a step closer to me, his dark golden eyes boring into mine. I gulped.

"Kitten" he drawled, his voice laced with sex. He raised a finger to motion me towards him.

"Come here" he said, with authority in his tone. My clit throbbed. Hesitantly I took a step towards him. Craning my head to look into his eyes, I drank in the sight of his full lips.

He smirked again, "Because I-" The sound of the door knob turning knocked what's left of the wind out of me.

Jace sighed in annoyance and leaned down to whisper in my ear. "We'll finish this later" he raspily purred, and nibbled on my ear.

With that, he sauntered over to the door to help Sebastian who clearly forgot the house key for the fifth time.

"I gotta tape that fucking key to my forehead" Sebastian boomed, and clapped Jace on the back. "I got more drinks, let's get fucked up" he stated, arms full of brown paper bags.

I was literally a speechless pool on the floor. What the fuck just happened.

Jace laughed and grabbed a bag from him. "I'm sending you to AA if you keep this up man"

Using the distraction as my cue, I took one last look at Jace before I flew up the stairs again. Shutting my bedroom door behind me, I jumped on my bed.

"Simon, get up" I whispered, shaking him rapidly. He moaned and turned over again.

"Clary not this again, I told you to let me sleep" he muttered, shutting his eyes again.

"SIMON- wake the fuck up" I whispered louder, and flicked him on the forehead.

He huffed and opened his eyes, "The house better be on fucking fire for you to wake me up again"

I let it all out, shaking in excitement "The shower- I was in it and then he came and I followed the fucking plan and then the kitchen happened- Si I'm literally freaking out" He sat up and reached for his glasses.

"Slow down Clare- you're going to give yourself a heart attack" he said putting on his glasses.

"Simon. I think … maybe Jace likes me too" I grinned my hands still on his shoulders.

He grinned too, clearly happy with himself.

"Mission Accomplished"

If any were wondering Jocelyn partially lives with her boyfriend! That's why shes never home.

New Chapter will be up shortly!
