Chapter 18 (Jace)

It had taken me hours to fall asleep, after lying in bed for hours thinking of Jordan’s naked body, fresh in my head from earlier that day and then thinking of the water from the shower sliding over her body.

I thought taking matters into my own hands would have taken the edge off. I mean, after twenty-five years, I’m pretty adept at it, but that image of her, the thought of being in the shower with her, watching her hands as they soaped up her body? Well, I had to take matters into my own hands twice more after that before I could finally fall asleep.

I’m up early again, knowing we have a s*hit-ton of work to do today. I quickly shower, and the image of Jordan floats back into my head, so I take precious time to rub another one out before I start my day. F*uck, how the hell am I going to travel alone with her?

I get dressed quickly and head downstairs, making sure the omegas are set to make food for even more people today, since the scientists and who knows how many others are coming. I have them make up a couple of breakfast sandwiches and coffee and send it up to Jordan’s room so she can eat while she’s getting ready.

“One for you, too, Gamma,” one of the omegas says to me.

“Thanks, Tina. Do you know if Beta Elijah is up yet?” I ask, taking a bite of food.

“He is,” he says behind me, scrubbing his face and looking exhausted. I feel bad for him, He expected to retire very soon, anticipating handing over the Beta duties to his son. Now, he’ll have to stay on longer and train whatever new Beta we bring in.

“Good morning, Jace,” Layan says walking in behind him. “Is this for Alpha Jordan?” she asks.

“Yes, Beta.”
