The Captain Doesn't Know I'm A Girl
I grabbed the spare house key and tucked it into our secret hiding spot outside so Jace could get back indoors if I was still out.
Luckily, I managed to hail a taxi quickly, and before I knew it, I was standing outside Nico's house.
I knocked twice and then I heard heavy footsteps approaching, and the door swung open. I stood still, staring at him. For reasons known only to himself, he had decided to answer the door completely shirtless.
My heart did a sudden, chaotic flip. My eyes locked onto his chest, taking in his lean, muscular build and the sharp definition of his abs. He looked fresh out of the shower; water droplets still glistened on his skin, and his dark hair was damp and messy.
