Chapter 91 New Ambassador, New Threat

• Jace POV
• Part of me wants to turn around, take her hand, tell her how much I’ve missed her, how every night since she left has been a drag. The other part of me knows that if I do, I’ll cross a line I can never uncross.
• The truth is, I’m aroused beyond reason. Just standing beside Sheila again, her scent brushing against me like a whisper from the past, makes my whole body burn for her. It’s unfair how her presence does this to me. Even when she was standing next to me on the balcony, gaping at whatever was happening downstairs, I couldn’t think straight. My body had already betrayed me long before that moment, the evidence of it throbbing insistently between my legs, forcing me to keep my back half-turned toward her.
