locks my door before closing it.
    I turn to Jace, and before I can say anything to him, his lips press against mine. He kisses me hard and I lean into him closer, but then he pulls back.
    “You should probably move off my lap,” he says, breathing heavily.
    “Why?”
    He smirks. “Really, Madi?”
    My face grows warm. “Oh.” Then I smile. “Wait, so I’m turning you on?”
    He nods. “Always.”
    “I like that I turn you on,” I say. I turn in his lap so that I’m straddling him, and I link my hands behind his head. “It turns me on to know that I’m turning you on.”
    He groans. “You’re making it really hard to resist you.”
    “Good.” I run my hands through his hair and push my lips against his. I feel his body stiffen for a second, then he gives into the kiss. His hands gently run down my back, and he cups my bottom. My stomach muscles tighten, and I can’t help the moan that escapes.
    Jace stops kissing me, but his lips don’t leave mine. “God. Baby, you have no idea what it does to me when you make noises like that.”
    I grind my hips into his and he tightens his grip on my butt.
    “You have to stop,” he says.
    “Why?”
    “Because I don’t want this to go too far too soon,” he says.
    “I want this. I want you .”
    He groans and picks me up. He sets me on the bed beside him and stands up. He moves away from the bed, putting a few feet between us.
    “Madi, I love you, but we can’t do this right now. I respect you way too much,” he says.
    I nod, frowning. “Okay.”
    “Don’t pout,” he says. “I don’t have any protection. Besides, I don’t want our first time to be when your brother is in a room next to yours and your mom and her boyfriend are just down the hall. It’s not right. I want it to be special.”
    I grin at his words. “Just so you know, it doesn’t matter when and where. With you, everything is special.”
    His shoulders relax at my words. “I’m so scared that I’m going to screw this up. I’ve waited so long for you, and I just want everything to be perfect.”
    And with that statement, I fall even more in love with him.
    “I love you, Jace,” I tell him. “Nothing is ever going to change that.”
    “Good.” He walks back over to the bed and sits down beside me.
    “And there is other stuff we can do until we are ready for sex,” I say, and bite the side of my lip.
    “As weird as it sounds, I’m going to enjoy not having sex with you for a while. We can definitely have fun doing other stuff.”
    Jace has one side of his lip lifted into a smirk, and my stomach flutters. He’s always been hot to me, but it’s different now. It’s different because he’s actually mine . And I realize that I’m definitely looking forward to all of my firsts with Jace.
    He’s right — not having sex is going to be fun. I’ve heard all of Frannie’s sexual experiences and from what she says, some guys are really good with their fingers. It might suck at first, but I’m excited about learning with Jace.
    I’m glad that he is going to be my first and last.
    As crazy as it sounds, one day I am going to marry this boy… The thought of being tied with him forever doesn’t make me nervous at all. It makes me excited. Forever with Jace is going to be absolute perfection.

    8pm
    Spin the Bottle.

    We are only at the party for thirty minutes before my phone goes off with a text message.

    Blocked ID: I’m bored and ready for a game. How about Spin the Bottle? If you don’t play, you will pay.

    I show my phone to Jace. He frowns when he sees the text.
    “I guess we are playing spin the bottle,” I say.
    “God, what is this person? Thirteen?” Trey asks behind us, reading the text.
    Trey has been rather clingy tonight. I get why he is — I mean somebody has basically threatened my life and kidnapped two of my friends. I could very well be next. Well, not if Jace and Trey has anything to do with it.
    Before we got here, Detective Condie texted me the names
