Sixty-Three

Paige's POV

"Jace?" I heard someone gasp from the door and I quickly disentangled myself from Jace, already cursing myself for letting things escalate so quickly.

"What are you doing here?" Jace asked breathlessly, I slowly lifted my head, my eyes landing on Jace before landing on her petite figure by the door, Catherine, if anything didn't give us away the hard-on Jace was currently sporting definitely did the work.

"I was looking for you" she murmured, a certain emotion in her voice I couldn't identify.

"For what exactly, you shouldn't be here to start with, last I checked this is a family event and you are not family" Jace shot at her but I didn't miss the way he was using his body to protect me from her wandering eyes.

"Your Dad invited me, he said Luke is family" she replied casting her eyes down to feign innocence but I didn't trust her.

"You still have not given me a valid reason why you are here" Jace replied curtly.
