The night was still young, and his body felt the same way. Jace had been doing a few hundred crunches in preparation for his night. For once since his arrival in Miami he was not going out to one of the clubs, he was entertaining for once and wanted to look his best. He flopped back, arms doubled over his stomach which burned deeply, he had lost count at about two thousand, and was amazed at how well his body performed. Puffing for air, smiling a sweet smile, his ear rang as his cell phone began to beep its standard ring tone.

Groaning at having to pull himself off of the floor, he crawled somewhat to the corner table, his phone vibrating and still blaring its jingle, picking it up and folding it open, he pressed it to his ear and spoke quietly. "Hello?" he smiled at the voice on the other end. "No, no its ok." he paused listening, nodding to himself. "No I like that idea alot. Just come on up, its room 212" he heard the line disconnect and tossed his phone onto a nearby love seat, not caring if it was closed or not.

Picking himself up onto his feet, he strolled into his bathroom, pushing down the only article of clothing he was wearing, a pale blue pair of boxer shorts adorned with yellow ducks. Slipping into the stand up shower, he threw the knob of hot water on full blast and let the jets flood over him.

Running his hands over his muscled torso, he reached for the small bar of soap, coating his skin with a light lather, watching it swirl down the drain as he rinsed.

Stepping out he shook his head free of the heavy water, his hair was getting long, he hadnt had a hair cut in some time now. Already his bangs were to his eyebrows, and since he liked his hair spiked upward, it made him look far taller then he was.

He dressed quickly, slipping on his favorite pair of leather pants, and a white button down shirt, striped with red length wise. No point not looking good as he could look, who knows where the night was gonna go at this rate.

It took Kelsi a while to find a purse worth taking over to the wolf’s house. Her room in the pack’s safehouse was a complete disaster area. It took her more than ten minutes to find clothes and matching shoes, and now all she needed to find was her purse. Normally she would have just left the phone in her room, but the last time she tried that, she ended up not finding it and having to buy a new one. She found the old one not too soon after, and made it into something useful for her computer. Finally, though, she found a small purse that she could wear over to Jace’s apartment.

Kelsi was saying the number over and over again in her head until she could find a piece of paper that she could write it down on. Finally, she found a small piece of paper that she had found under her bed. Quickly, she wrote down the number 212 and beside it she wrote Jace. They had planned this meeting for a while, and she had gathered up everything she would need while going over to watch a movie. Somehow through the night, though, it had all gone back into its hiding places.

Within minutes, Kelsi was sitting in the back of a taxi. She had decided on bringing her laptop, cellphone, and a little bit on money all stuffed into her messenger bag. Thankfully, the man drving the taxi understood that she was in a hurry, because she was late, and made his way through traffic just as fast as Kelsi would if she had a car to drive. They made it to the apartment area, and Kelsi tipped the man for driving so fast and dodging the police.

She walked up to the numbered doors line up in the hallway soon after. She walked down the hall, looking down at her piece of paper with his number on it, and then back up to see if she was at the right door. Three times was the charm, as she found his door after the third look at her paper. Apartment number 212 was where she was standing at. Kelsi knocked on the door twice and waited for Jace to come and answer the door.

At the rap on he door, Jace sprang into action, shutting his phone and darting to the door. Opening it quickly, letting the chain catch it, he smiled out at his quest threw the small glimmer of space, pushing the door closed and removing the chain, he swung it open and welcomed Kelsi, grabbing her by the hip and dragging her in. "Hey, sorry the place is kinda a mess. I just ordered some Chinese from this great little place down the street, I didn't know what you liked so....I just kinda ordered the whole menu."

He closed the door behind them, locking it tightly. He stepped into the main room connecting to all the others, the bedroom didnt have a door, just an arch which showed off the four post bed very well.

He quickly picked up a pair of his underwear, tossing it behind the love seat and out of view, blushing lightly.

Kelsi smiled as she was led into the room by her hips. She blushed as she heard that Jace had ordered everything off of the menu, because he didn’t know what she liked. “Well, since you ordered the entire menu, then I hope you have hot and sour soup, crabrangoon, egg rolls, and a coke?” she asked, smiling at Jace.

She walked into the room and looked around. Her eyes fell on the bedroom arch, and was brought around to be placed on his four poster bed. It looked comfortable, much comfortable than her mattress on her floor. She chuckled and sat down on the arm of the couch. “So, what are your plans for us today?” she asked.

"Well..." he plopped himself down onto the love seat, sinking in abit as his large frame bounced on the cushion. "Hope you don't mind but the only good movie I could find ironically turned out to be a were-wolf movie..." he reached over to a corner table, picking up the solid plastic box, its face dark black with blood red lettering reading 'An American Were-Wolf In Paris'.

He gave a shrug, tossing the movie over his shoulder, letting it bounce off the wall and land just barely back onto the table, he had been practicing that move for at least an hour, and had succeeded much to the anger of the Hotel, to brake two lamps and damage the table.

"So..." he gave a nod to the seat next to him, tapping his fingers on it gently. "I just figured we could take afew minutes while we wait for our food to talk..." he raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, a dorky gesture on his part he had never been able to stop using since his awkward teenage years.

Kelsi smiled as Jace sat down on the couch, watching it dip into his form. She laughed when she heard that the movie they were going to watch was going to be a werewolf movie. Kelsi put her purse down beside the couch and sat down on it, her legs being tucked under her body. She looked over as Jace tossed the movie over his shoulder.

“Okay, then,” Kelsi said as she leaned back, setting her elbow on the arm of the couch and setting her head on that. “But I get one of your egg rolls for making that weird face.” Kelsi chuckled and leaned over, patting his cheeks as she mocked his facial gesture, trying it on herself. She ended up looking moderately like a fish, and she couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Jace smiled abashedly. It wasn't very often that a girl was actually able to embarrass him. But she was so pretty, and smart, and much more real then most girls he had gone out on dates with. So many girls with fake breasts, press on nails, and hair extensions. Fake women with fake parts. But he was already having a genuinely good time, just talking friendly, teasing and being an absolute dork that he normally was. He felt like he did before that day when his stomach was torn open. And that was a feeling that didn't come around very often anymore.

"Well I'm more then willing to give you my eggroll, but I think it can wait till after dinner." he shook his head in a mock sexy manor, his lips half parted, tongue gently licking in small circles. He laughed quietly, running his hands over his face. 'oh god, you loser' he thought to himself.

Nothing made you feel more un-sexy, then pretending to be sexy.

Kelsi couldn’t help but cross her arms at Jace’s smile, blushing a bit herself. She had actually accomplished in making him embarrassed. Kelsi looked at him in the eyes as he seemed to be deep in thought, and she didn’t want to suddenly pull him out of his thoughts. ‘They rarely happens...’ she thought, and laughed again quietly at her own joke in her head.

But when Jace finally opened his mouth, he said something more like Jace would, instead of what Kelsi thought was going to be a semi-smart and thought-up sentence. But no, instead Jace cowered behind his face again and said what Kelsi should have been expecting. Naughty Kelsi for expecting something that would never happen. Kelsi took his hands, which had been rubbing on his face previously.

“Well,” she started, thinking up her own comeback saying. “You may owe me an eggroll, but you’re not getting any of my crabrangoon if you keep blushing like that.” After she had said it, though, Kelsi realized how much that sounded like something she hadn’t put much thought to, and chuckled as she realized that Jace was rubbing off on her.

Jace smiled to himself, letting it spread into a full out grin, showing off his pearly whites from ear to ear. He stared into his guests eyes for several moments before clearing his throat and slipping his hands back into his lap. But this felt awkward, so instead he used them to push himself up. He stood quickly and walked into the mini kitchen that the hotel didn't bother in up keeping much. "Coke right?"

He dug deep into the tiny little refrigerator, digging from it the red shining can. "Sorry I don't have diet..." he smirked back at her, glancing her over once or twice, hoping she got the joke.

He tossed her the can, turning away quickly and dodging into the bedroom for a moment, not really bothering to find out if she caught it or not. He shuffled threw afew drawers of his dresser, pulling from it a small box of condoms. Staring at it he tapped its face with the tips of his fingers, mentally wondering if he really should go threw with seducing this innocent girl.

'Maybe she's not innocent, maybe if you ask nicely she'll get on her knees and... ' he cut off the voice of his wolf quickly, not wanting to go there right now. Last thing he needed was to have to eat Chinese food and look at this girls face while thinking of what it would look like covered in his seed.

Kelsi caught the can of coke just barely in her hands. It was cold as she flipped the tab and let it fizz out for a little bit. She turned around and stuck her tongue out at Jace for the comment, and then turned back, taking a sip of the coke and waiting for the man to come and sit on the couch with her again. After a few minutes, she looked back again, realizing that he was in the bedroom.

She sat there for a few minutes, wondering to herself whether she should go and see if he was all right or to give him his privacy. He was a man after all, and there was a large doubt that he would fall and hit his head or something. Then again, men were stubborn and always thought that they could do things themselves.

Sighing, Kelsi walked over to the doorway to the bedroom and leaned on it, the coking on one hand and the other wrapped around her waist. She smiled. “Did you lose your wallet?” she asked, not yet seeing the package, and only being able to see his back. “Or is this your way of telling me to answer the door and pay?” she asked as the doorbell suddenly rang, telling both the people inside that their food was there.

Jace immediately dropped the box of condoms into the open drawer, shutting it suddenly, the door bell had given him a good way out of this room and he took it with great happiness. "I'm not that cheap." he said, reaching for the night stand he picked up his wallet and walked past her, pinching her backside as he stepped by, reminding her how playful he wanted the night to be.

Quickly moving his way to the door, he spent afew minutes taking in a half dozen sacks of Chinese food. Setting them on the bar that was not to far from the entry way. Paying the delivery boy quickly he shut the door in a rush and motioned for Kelsi to join him.

"Well I guess we can just split this up into what you want and into what I want." he watched her body as she moved and the more the night wore on he was liking the sight more and more.

"But I call the General Tsao's chicken." he added hastily.

Kelsi eyed the drawer quizzically as Jace shut it suddenly, as if he had been looking at something that he didn’t want her to know about. She made a hesitant laugh, still wondering what would have been in the drawer, when he picked up his wallet and noted about himself not being that cheap. As he pinched her backside as he walked by, she gave him a playful shove out the archway. She nodded and followed him to the door.

Kelsi failed in suppressing a laugh as Jace took all half a dozen sacks from the poor Chinese delivery man. She couldn’t help but picture in her mind the man bringing six bags of Chinese food to his apartment, and wondering why someone would need all this food. She walked over and stood by the bags, looking into them and seeing what all were in them. She found the General Tsao's chicken and pulled it out.

She looked over and smiled at Jace. “Well, I think all I’m going to need is my hot and sour soup, crabrangoon, and two egg rolls. ...Chinese egg rolls,” Kelsi said, noting the last quickly before Jace could say anything inappropriate. “And... if you want this chicken, you’re going to have to take it from me, because it looks good,” she said, smiling as she moved to the other side of the bar from him, holding it up in the air.

Jace placed his hands flat on the bar, the bags between him and Kelsi, who was holding the one piece of food he wanted specifically for himself. Popping his neck loudly Jace nodded the challenge and uttered quietly. "Oh you are so going down....figuratively speaking." he added as a small teasing quip.

"And don't worry, your gonna get your egg roll, and your gonna like it."
Jace darted slightly to the left but stayed on his side of the bar. He was grinning broadly, he hadn't had this kind of playful encounter in several months and the feeling he was having was a nice distraction from the day in day out struggles he was having.

Laughing Jace lifted a fortune cookie and tossed it at Kelsi, lunging over the bar in a fool on tackling motion, he wrapped his arms around Kelsi and drove her to the ground, the contents of all the bags dumping themselves onto the both of them as they laid on the formerly clean tile floor. He stared down at her and in one quick chant uttered "This is all your fault..." he grinned down at her and licked some sweet and sour sauce from her cheek suddenly "Mmm..."

Kelsi held the chicken in her hand, shaking it in the air and tempting Jace to come and get it. Giggling at his comment, she would twitch to one side whenever he pretended to move to one side. Her mouth went broad as Jace threw a fortune cookie at her, though she managed to dodge it. She thought that he would actually go around the bar, and didn’t even think once of the possibility that he would actually jump over the bar. It would be hazardous with all of the Chinese food sitting on top of it, but Jace always seemed to find a way to surprise her.

As Jace came flying through the air, Kelsi had a moment of relapse and tried to get out of the way of the projectile man. But before she could move, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down to the ground. Not seconds afterward, most of the Chinese food was either on the floor or all over the two of them. Kelsi groaned and licked her lips, gasping at what she tasted. “My soup!” she shouted, smacking Jace gently upside the head.

Then she felt something warm and wet across her cheek as Jace licked up the sweet and sour sauce from her face. She couldn’t help but smile as she sat up, now half drenched from four different types of soup, and half sandpapery from where the crabrangoon crunched and stuck in her skin. “My fault?” she asked, her mouth agape as she made a mocking lunge-like motion. “I wasn’t the one who just jumped over his bar with piled of food on it!”

Jace feigned ignorance to the whole situation, staring at the box of chicken that remained in her hand, slowly he reached for it, swiping suddenly. "Well I don't know much about that but, I do I want my chicken still." he blinked at her as a thick black sauce dripped from the top of his forehead, the small splatter landing on the tip of his nose. He smiled and rubbed his cheek on hers, spreading the uncleanliness even further.

Lifting a small pork rib from the floor, he slipped it into his mouth, taking the boneless meat and ripping it into two clean chunks. "Mmmm.." he murmured, eyes glazed over in heaven. He offered Kelsi a taste from his mouth, his body still on top of hers, his arms barely propping him up.

His mind flashed once again to the drawer in his bedroom and the box of condoms, this was fun, and dirty, and just to natural to be just a coincidence.

Kelsi jumped at Jace as he stole back the box of chicken that had still been in her hand. She couldn’t believe that a simple get-together with Chinese takeout could have ever possibly turned into this kind of a mess, but it was made a reality. She landed on the floor beside him again, still having missed the box of General Tsao's chicken. She sighed and leaned near him, trying to get out of the puddle of sauce just to the left of her butt.

The female wolf stuttered a giggle as Jace ran his nose across her cheek, pulling a small tingle of strawberry to her cheeks. Trying to get in a better position on the floor, Kelsi’s hand was suddenly place in the puddle that she had been oh-so faithfully refusing to get in. Within seconds, Jace was on top of her with his arms the only thing propping him up and over her. As he offered her a piece of the pork rib in his mouth, Kelsi contemplated the possibilities of this position.

And idea formed in her mind at that moment, and before she could think of what it could cause, Kelsi smacked Jace square in the face, knowing it wouldn’t hurt much. Sauce splattered all over his face, and rogue drops jumped off to fall on the floor. Kelsi flipped on her back and started laughing at Jace’s face and the sauce now dripping off it. “I- I- Oh god…” Kelsi said, not being able to force out any words from her laughter. “I’m SO sorry!” she said, gasping for breath.

In complete shock and befuddlement at the wondrously unexpected and unforgivably messy slap, Jace stared down at the equally messy Kelsi, his jaw hung slack eyes, wide and stinging with soy sauce. His mind was completely blank, he hadn't even realized he was slapped until the stinging started. laughter filled his ears and his face changed from shock to pale annoyance.

He stayed above her, eyes now squinting in a firm glare, lips pursed. He was giving her ample time to get her laughing out of the way, he was already contemplating his revenge, but he wanted her to savor her brief victory over his humility. "Go ahead, get it all out. Its hilarious." he smiled brilliantly, a thick drop of sauce falling from his nose to the tip of his chin.

"Almost as hilarious as this!" at once Jaces hands began pushing up the bottom of Kelsi's shirt, his soaked and thickly sticky face burying itself into her bellow button, licking and nibbling, tickling and suckling with ferocity he saved only for bedroom work. He cackled maniacally, giving very ting, very messy hickies up and down her smooth flat stomach.

Kelsi couldn’t remember another time when she was this relaxed with another person of the opposite sex. She had really never been one to date, and had always been shy around the boys in school. But this time it was different. She seemed to belong with feeling this way, and with the wolf on top of her. There was even once a time when she had believed that her lycanthrope issues wouldn’t allow her to have a lover. That time seemed to be over now, though. “Oh, don’t worry. I will,” Kelsi said as she continued to giggle at the sauce-filled face staring down at her.

Before Jace could even think of getting her back, the female werewolf quickly pulled her arm up and scraped off a bit of the sauce, placing the finger in her mouth. “Mmm...” she said, smiling up at Jace. But without even a warning, the man started to pull out his revenge, and tugging at her shirt. “No-!” Kelsi shouted, giggling at the tickling sensation below her belly button. Her legs were pinned under her as she moved back and forth, trying her hardest to get out of the grip of the ‘enemy’. “Stop it, that tickles!” she shouted, trying to go into the fetal position, and failing at smacking him off.

Finally, though, Kelsi succeeded in wrapping her legs around Jace’s chest, and grabbing his wrists. Using her own weight and his weight against him, Kelsi flipped him over and came to be sitting on top of his chest, Jace’s back to the floor. Letting go of his hands for a second, Kelsi tried to get most of the sauce off of her stomach, but failing. “Oh god, now I’m a mess,” she said, rolling her eyes. She leaned forwards and took his wrists in her hands again. “Pinned you.” she said triumphantly.

Again another big surprise from the small package that was Kelsi Whittle, his powerful frame rendered onto the floor like a large sack of meat beneath what can only be described as a stick of a girl. He sighed and enjoyed the view he was getting from looking down his chest, and any embarrassment felt from being pinned by a girl was quickly lost in the moment. But not to be out done Jace employed his old high school wrestling training, lifting his legs up and wrapping them around her torso he dragged he backwards and flat onto her back between his legs, giving him the opportunity to pounce back on top of her in a triumphant little boy sorta way.

"Pinned ya back." he cooed down at her, wrapping his arms around the upper part of her thighs. The idea was still coming into his head as he tossed her over his shoulder, they were both filthy that was for sure, and what do you do when your filthy, or in this case, just want to see your friend naked? Thats right, you shower.

Jace lumbered, Kelsi on his shoulder, into the small bathroom of his hotel room, the walk in shower was a decent size, easily large enough to fit 6 people inside if you were so inclined. Jace propped Kelsi down onto the floor and quickly peeled off his sticky, cold shirt, the sauce on his face, lips and chest beginning to dry into a hard crusty unattractive river. His fingers wasted no time unsheathing his belt, his pants loosening and skimming down the top of his waist a little.

He blinked up at his companion, very nonchalant and uttered, "Do.... you need me to take your clothes off for you?" already figuring the answer Jace reached into the shower and spun the hot and cold water knobs onto full blast, watching the water pressure spring to life.

It seemed that Kelsi had no idea that he was going to try and pin her back. She was trying her best to block out the little voice in the back on her head that was saying to watch out for his legs. Being the stubborn little thing that she was, and being to caught up in her ego about the fact that she had pinned a man twice her size, Kelsi ended up on the floor just as Jace had been only a few seconds before. It kind of irked her that she let that slip, but it was only rubbed in her face more when he used her own comeback quote against her. Then, it was war.

The female werewolf was still contemplating her revenge on the male when he wrapped his arms around her thighs and hitched her up and over his shoulder. Truthfully, she didn't want to put it passed herself that he would let her fall for laughs. And so, she kept her hands tightly wrapped on to his shoulder, as his neck was too much of a hassle to get to. She could see after a few steps that he was heading toward his bathroom. Within seconds she was sitting on the floor of Jace's bathroom, taking it all in. The shower seemed to be one of those showers you would use to hose off a dog after it had been wandering in the mud for too long, but it was too tall for that.

Kelsi adjusted herself on the floor as her companion started to take off his shirt, revealing the fact that the sauce had fallen down his shirt as well, and was drying as paste there. It was only then that it clicked in her mind. He wanted them to shower off. A light strawberry blush crept across her cheeks as Kelsi stared at the far wall. She was a bit displeased with herself and the fact that she couldn't look at him without staring. She could then here the metallic sound of Jace's belt coming undone and the sound of his zipper.

Kelsi sighed at the comment at first, sitting there like a stubborn child who didn't want to take a bath. She applauded herself for sitting there for a good full two minutes as Jace turned on the shower, but gave in not too soon after. Standing up, Kelsi faced the wall as she pulled off her short-sleeved shirt. She found herself to be extremely happy when she remembered that she was wearing a sports bra - gray - that actually left a lot to the imagination. She turned her head back only a bit to eye Jace. She wasn't going to take anything else off unless he did so as well.

So she was actually gonna play his game, maybe she was more tougher and forward then he had originally thought. He slowly unbuttoned his pants, noticing that Kelsi was watching him, he gulped slowly and wished now that he had one of those condoms at hand, but maybe by some kind of miracle they wouldn't play horizontal shower doctor. he kicked off his pants which were next to ruined by his account, but whatever there only pants after all, moments like this, he would give up a half dozen pairs just to relive it.

He was standing now in a very tight pair of boxer briefs, greenish black, very dark. Now they weren't normally so tight on him but being the male that he was, he was aroused and looking forward to seeing more of Kelsi's very attractive body. But the room had suddenly gone very quiet, and quiet can sometimes lead to awkwardness so.... whats a wolf to do?

"Would you hold it against me if i told you that you had a nice body?" he smirked playfully. Inwardly he kicked himself for such a lame line, and his wolf was even getting a small kick out of viewing these two. Jace closed his eyes and looked away, taking a deep breathe. "Sorry, that didn't sound quite so stupid in my head, which is where I thought of it, which is stupid cause I don't...think so good.... when Im around..... you." his eyes barely opened and peered at her, wanting to see first hand just what her reaction would be to this train wreck that he called a conversation.

The comment, which was supposed to act as a pick-up line, seemed to come out as cheesy. The wolf couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, calming down the atmosphere. The hairs stood up on her arms even as he spoke. She wasn’t sure if it was the coldness of the room, or Jace that made her react in such a way. The entire situation, to Kelsi, seemed to be awkward and out of place, and yet she felt as if amused by it all. Here they were, standing in the bathroom – completely messy, and having a completely cheesy conversation.

Having the goosebumps that had previously been on her arms pass away, Kelsi wrapped her arms around her waist to turn around. A strawberry blush crept up her cheeks as she saw that Jace was merely clad in his underwear. Kelsi herself was still wearing her bra, pants, underwear, and socks. It seemed as if she didn’t know what to do at this point.

“It’s stupid that you thought something in your head?” Kelsi asked, turning back around with a smile spread across her face. Kelsi placed her hand on the loops of her pants, debating on what to do then. It seemed to her that having a conversation chased away the awkwardness, and so that is what she went with. “I would think that thinking something somewhere other than outside your head would be stupid. Though, I don’t know much about your thought process.” Kelsi sighed quietly, a thin rise and fall of her chest, “-But, yes. You can hold me if you want . . . ”

Jace shook his head and gave a small chuckle, he knew he wasn't going to force the situation, but a little contact from Kelsi is something he desperately needed and wanted. She was so much like him, and his wolf was practically head over heels for her, which made it even harder to ignore his own personal feelings for her. He draped his large arms over her tiny frame, laying his chin onto her shoulder lightly, like a dog does when he's tired or comfortable. She was warm to the touch, like he always was, lycanthropes burned abit hotter then most humans, something Jace found very comforting and amazing, it always gave him the tingles in all the right places.

"I'm not gonna make you shower with me Kelsi, no need to worry. I may play the jerk but Im not always. Well I am most of the time." he chuckled again against her, letting his laugh shake her along with him. He gave her a firm squeeze and kissed her on the neck, nibbling firmly before releasing her. "I'll let you get cleaned up while I go and clean up the mess we made in the kitchen. I only ask that you save some hot water for yours truly." he smiled a disappointed smile, he wanted to shower with Kelsi, wanted to take there relationship to the next level, but he felt reservation from her and he wasn't going to be the kind of guy to stress what he was building, that being a relationship.

He stepped past her and turned back around quickly, clearing his throat and running his hand over the back of his neck. "Can uhm, you hand me my pants? The people in the building accrossed the street tend to stare through there windows...."
