Chapter 1:
"So may I ask why did you want to meet at the Brooklyn Bridge in the middle of the damn night?" I ask, slightly mad because my creative juices were flowing surprisingly easy when my dammed phone rang. I knew I should have kept it on silent. "And you know that Mom and Luke will kill me , and you for that matter , if they knew we were out this late without permission!"
"Don't worry, they won't even realize you were missing," he said. I could listen to his voice all they long and never get bored just as I could look at him and touch him as much as I'd prefer and never get enough. As I took the sight of him in I didn't even realize that he started talking again. "…Clary?"
"Umm…Yes!"
"Would you take a walk with me?"
He doesn't even wait for my answer as he takes my cold hand in his impossibly warm one and slowly starts walking. After a few minutes he slowly pulls his hand out of mine and places it around my back which sends a current through my whole body; I don't think I'll ever get bored of that feeling. As a response to his touch I rest my head on his shoulder and I breathe in his scent. He smells like Jace and freshly applied runes; there's no other way to explain it.
Jace looks down at me as we keep walking. Without any warning he pulls me to his chest and lowers his head so his lips could meet mine. At first the kiss is slow and patient but then is deepens and becomes hungrier than any other kiss we have shared. I wrap my arms around him and move my hand up and down his muscular back which causes him to let a slow moan escape his mouth. He presses me closer to him and I now more become aware of every part of him as he moves his warm lips down to my neck, then my shoulders then back up to my lips which have been waiting for his return. As the kiss deepens even more he pulls me up I wrap my legs around him while he is sliding his careful hands under my thighs. I move my hands up to his neck where I automatically start playing with his soft blonde hairs he pushes my back against the wall of one of the bridge's poles.
Suddenly I become aware that we are in public and not in the sort of privacy of Jace's room in the Institute . As much as I wish for this kiss to continue I don't really enjoy the idea of strangers walking around and seeing me and Jace doing something that is best be done in privacy. I remember how much I hated watching couples making out in public and thinking that they should get a room.
I slowly and unwillingly pull away and see Jace's lion like face. He is panting and sweating but I can tell that he too felt that this ended way to early. I give him a small peck on the lips then lower myself from his arms. Silently he takes my hand again and we start walking again secretly hoping that no one saw us.
After a few minutes we both regain out breaths and out faces are not flushed anymore. As we walk I look up to see his face. Beautiful golden eyes and slightly too long blond hair and lips that can make me forget about everything and everyone. As if sensing that I'm looking at him, he turns around and gives me one of his signature smirks.
"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" he ask while running his hand up and down my arm.
"I think you have mentioned that before." I answer while my hand moved up to his hair and began playing with it.
" Did I ever tell you that I love you, Clary?"
"I love you too Jace , forever and ever"
"Then can I ask you another question?" Again, he doesn't wait for my answer. He detached himself away from me then does something I never expected him to do,
Jace kneels down to the ground and pulls out the ring from his pocket .I feel an overwhelming amount if emotions. Happiness, euphoria, nervousness, even a bit of panic. After a few seconds that felt like hours he looks up and meets my green eyes with his beautiful golden eyes. His lips break into a smile that reaches his eyes and says:
"Clary Fray , will you do me the honor of marrying me ?"
