Chapter 28

Jace swept Sam up into his arms and carried her upstairs, never breaking their kiss. He seemed instinctively to know where to go and Sam was so lost in his kiss that she didn't notice that he didn't need directions to her bedroom.

Before long, they were standing in front of Sam's bed, still entangled in each other, pulling their clothes off of each other until Jace stood there in only jeans, and Sam was in nothing but a sexy, lacy black bra, and tiny lace panties.

Jace stepped away and looking around, spotted a trio of candles and a lighter on her dresser. Lighting the candles, he arranged them around the room, their bodies barely visible in the flickering candlelight. He came back to her, his eyes running over her leisurely, hunger in his gaze as it swept over her swan-like neck, the elegant angles of her collarbone, and lush, full breasts, practically spilling out of the cups of her bra. Dragging his eyes from her delectable cleavage, his eyes ran over her flat stomach, and long, shapely legs before coming back up to settle on her mound, just barely covered by the tiny scrap of lace.

He licked his lips as he stared at her and suddenly- desperately- Sam was overcome with desire. She needed to taste him. Before Jace knew what she was doing, she'd dropped to her knees, unbuckling his jeans quickly.

"Sam, what are you- Oh God-." He gasped out, nearly choking as Sam's mouth closed over his length. Sam lifted her eyes to meet his clouded, frantic eyes as his hands lowered to gently push her hair off her face. His hips pushed forward automatically and Sam gladly took him deeper into the hot, wet cavity of her mouth.

Sam practically purred as her tongue caressed him, taking deeper still. Jace's head dropped back and he moaned her name over and over, like a prayer.

The pure bliss rolling over Sam just at the pleasure she was giving Jace was indescribable. She drew him back out, just letting her teeth graze his sensitive skin and scraping her nails up the inside of his legs. Her hands came up, grasping, stroking, and massaging his hard length, as she took him into her mouth, again and again.

"Sam, oh, Sam, I'm…you…please…no more…" He begged her, fighting to keep from falling off the edge. Sam never stopped moving, her head bobbing up and down, his tip hitting the back of her throat and sending his eyes rolling into the back of his head.

Finally, Jace managed to pull Sam off him and drag him up to her, his lips crashing down onto hers hungrily as he lowered her to the bed, dropping on top of her carefully. He broke their kiss, his lips wandering down her neck.

When he came to her breasts, Jace stopped and stared as if he was looking at something holy. Reaching back with one hand, he unhooked her bra in a swift motion, her heavy, full breasts swaying forward, as they were released from the bra. Without hesitation, Jace swooped down and captured an already pebbled nipple in his mouth, his tongue rolling over it, flicking it, and laving it as he suckled deeply. Sam whimpered and arched her back against him, her head thrown back.

She whimpered with loss as Jace slid down her body, pressing open-mouthed kisses against her rib cage, abdomen, and hips as his fingers hooked into the tiny straps of her panties. With the slightest show of strength, Jace ripped her panties off, tossing the scrap of lace behind them as she was finally completely bared to his sight.

Jace hovered over her quivering heat, staring down at it with rapt attention.

"Beautiful." He whispered reverently and then he was pressing his mouth against her.

He didn't start with tiny licks or kisses; instead it was just an incredible pressure as he worked her slow, using his mouth and fingers, and tongue, gently and relentlessly coaxing her into the stratosphere, filling her with endless, almost unbearable pleasure.

He groaned against her, the vibration sending bolts of ecstasy shooting through her as his fingers slipped inside her, one, then two, sliding in and out of her in a perfect parody of the act of lovemaking.

As he pumped his fingers into her, Jace laved her clitoris with his tongue, alternately flicking his tongue against it, suckling, and using his thumb to drive her to the brink. And then there was nowhere to go but over the edge, as she screamed with the most powerful orgasm of her life.

Lost in sensation, there was a brief flicker of recognition, before she was once again sucked into a vortex of extreme pleasure.

Sam was still wracked with shudders when Jace covered her body with his, his face inches above hers. His eyes caught hers and she was captured by the intensity in his beautiful baby blues.

"So damn beautiful." He whispered again, sending tenderness through her.

"Sam, are you sure? Because if you're not, tell me to stop and I will. It will kill me, but I will." He said between gritted teeth, trembling above her.

Sam stared up into his eyes, for a moment lost in their achingly familiar depths. She reached up and cupped Jace's face and lifted her mouth to his, kissing him tenderly.

"Make me yours." She whispered.

"You're already mine. You've always been mine." Jace whispered back, not even sure what he meant, shifting over her. His thick, heavy length brushed against her drenched heat and Sam whimpered softly, lifting up towards him.

With a slight smirk, Jace's hands dug into her thighs, bringing them up and around his hips. And then he was sliding into her, fitting against her like a glove.

Sam moaned, tears springing to her eyes for some unknown reason, as her body seemed to rejoice as Jace's finally joined with hers. Jace set a gentle, slow pace at first, his head dropped against her shoulder as he struggled for control.

"Fuck. Sam, you feel so good. So…damn…good." He groaned, his hips moving in long, sure strokes.

Sam knew what he wanted, and she wanted it just as badly.

"Jace, please." She whimpered, moving against him restlessly, making him wild with need. A sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead as he struggled to maintain his pace.

"Jace, I need you. I want more. Give it to me now. Harder. Faster. Deeper." She moaned, coaxing him on and with those words, Jace lost control, working himself into her in furious thrusts.

Sam felt herself sliding up the mattress with the strength of Jace's thrusts. He drove into her with unrelenting force, giving her exactly what she begged him for in panting whispers, and then pushing her past the edge.

Jace leaned over her and flashed a sexy smile at her before changing rhythm, his hips swirling inside her, sending delicious tingles throughout her sex. Sam's eyes drifted closed only to shoot open when Jace gripped her hands and brought them above her head to grip the headboard.

"Hold on, Sam." He whispered roughly, before reaching down and gripping her thigh and tossing her leg up over his shoulder.

He sank even further inside of her, reaching new depths and sending Sam into a frenzy of sensation. She was moaning wildly now, her head tossing back and forth against the mattress as he drove her closer to the edge of the abyss.

"Jace! Oh God! Jace!" Sam shrieked, feeling her body begin to spasm. Jace's electric blue eyes bore into hers as he began to pump inside her in faster, shorter strokes, driving towards his own release.

And then he was coming with a harsh bellow of pleasure, his features momentarily distorted, his hips now pumping furiously, in jerky thrusts as his orgasm rolled through him, his seed spurting deep inside her in a hot, wet, rush. The sensation sent Sam over the edge again, this orgasm just as intense as the last.

Jace collapsed on top of her, careful to keep his weight off her, her forehead against hers.

"God, Sam."

"It was perfect. You were perfect." Sam whispered, clinging to him, her face tucked into his neck, overcome with emotion.

"I love you." She whispered, unable to stop a tear from spilling over.

"I love you too, Sam." Jace replied in a voice rough with emotion as he tightened his arms around Sam and pulled her into his arms. He shifted, laying on his back, Sam tucked into his side.

They lay together, blissfully happy, and yet, there was something hanging over them both. Sam's mind went back to that brief moment, when it was Jason's eyes staring down at her, not Jace.

And Jace was picturing him and Sam in this very bed, making love in a variety of positions, tempos, and settings. He told himself they were fantasies of a future he hoped for with Sam, but doubts lingered in the back of his mind. Those fantasies were shockingly vivid.

A particularly steamy memory of Sam, splayed out naked on the bed, her hands tied to the headboard by a pink tie, flashed through his head. He opened his mouth to tell Sam before closing it quickly.

What if it was a memory of another woman and he was just transposing Sam's image on top of hers because she was the only woman he thought of that way now? He wouldn't ruin the moment with what were obviously just fantasies he was playing out in his head.

Turning towards her, he gathered her closer, their bodies flush against each other.

Sam clung to him, reminding herself it was Jace in her arms and that she was in love with him.

And suddenly, it was like a blanket of peace settled over them, as each realized they were in the arms of the person they loved.

Sam leaned her head back and met Jace's observant gaze.

"Stay with me tonight." She whispered, smiling at him. With a thrilled grin, Jace leaned down and kissed her again.

"Tonight and any other night you want me to." He said between kisses before deepening the kiss, all thought flying out of their heads.
