It's Forbidden- Jace and Clary, or is it?
His hand cupped the slender side of her face, tilting her jaw upwards towards him.
"We can't. Not now that we're…" His eyes seemed so soft. Comforting and caring.
"You know that you want too." he said pulling her closer at the waist. How could she resist? Her heart began to beat faster, a warm sensation spread across her chest as she caught her breath. They were so close now, inches away.
"No!" Clary abruptly pushed him away. "You know that we shouldn't, so why?" She felt angered and betrayed by her own emotions. She shouldn't feel this way, conflicted even though she knew what was right and what was wrong.
"Because I love you."
Clary's heart stopped. He had never said this before, especially not in this way. He couldn't love her. He shouldn't love her. She turned away, covering her face with her hands and tears rolled down her cheeks. How could he do this to me? Why does he have to be so cruel?
She felt a hand on her shoulder. Then on her waist. One either side. "You know this already so don't act surprised." he hissed in her ear. The small hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. He gently peeled her hands away from her face. Her eyes were slightly puffy, but she was still as beautiful as ever. He tucked a small piece of hair behind her ear. "We can be together, nobody needs to know." She wanted him so badly. But it was a wrong and twisted feeling.
"But someone is bound to find out eventually, and then what? How do we explain this?" She was tired of playing games. She wanted to go bed and forget this whole thing had ever happened.
As she had made up her mind, his hand was already intertwined in her red hair and pulling her face closer and closer to his. Their lips met with fiery passion. He kissed her gently at first, but his desires soon got the better of him and his mouth was driven with powerful emotions. She had returned his kiss in the heat of the moment, regretting it but enjoying it so much more so that the guilt just seemed to slip away. It was just the two of them. Together in that moment.
He pulled away slowly, planting a few small kisses trailing from her mouth and down her neck. She was loving this. He stopped, turned and looked her dead straight in the eyes. "Even though we may be brother and sister, I still love you and care for you. That will never change." She tried to smile but her emotions were all over the place. She didn't know what she was feeling right now. Love, lust, hate or sadness.
"So what happens now?" She was going to sort this out now.
"My sweet, sweet Clary." He kissed her on the cheek before turning to head to his bedroom. "All in good time my dear." And then he was gone. Just like that.
She lingered for moment, staring at where he had just been a moment ago. She touched her lips, feeling her heart rate increase once more. "God damn it!" she shouted. She stormed off to her room further down the corridor, stepped inside and slammed the door. What had she done? She began to cry again, but it was all the more painful this time. She knew she loved him, but she could never have him. Sebastian. Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern. Whatever his name was, he was still her brother. And she loved him, but this love is forbidden.
Surprise! I hope you enjoyed it! I tried to make it sound like Jace at the start, but it was actually Clary and Sebastian/ Jonathan. Did I trick you? (Probably not) Don't forget to review, it means a lot :) x
