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.

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

"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."

"I'm just going to find a caregiver for her," Jace said, straightening his clothes.
