Even though I wasn't so turned on that I'd lose control, if Jace answered the phone or left right now, I'd be mortified.

He swallowed hard and grabbed his phone, pressing the button to hang up. He continued kissing my neck and collarbone.

But the phone rang again a second later. I knew that if he didn't answer, there would be no peace for either of us.

Turning my face to the side, I said, "You should answer it.

Jace looked uneasy. He pulled the blanket over me, picked up the phone, and walked to the balcony.

Even though he closed the sliding door, I could still hear him.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take care of you... I know it's my fault...

"Fine, stop crying. I'm coming, I'll be there soon."

Then I heard the click of a lighter.

Jace was smoking.

For the first time, he was smoking at home.

It was nearly ten minutes before Jace returned. The air was tinged with the tobacco smell.
