I love Simon and Isabelle, so I cooked this up for them =)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

Can I Kiss You

"Can I kiss you?" he whispers.

"No." I say and the shock and hurt on his face is so strong, I almost regret it. But I just smile mischievously, "Not unless I kiss you first." And I bring my lips to his.

My eyes flutter close as our lips explore each other tentatively, softly. It's unbearable when we break apart, because all I feel is the pull of my gut, and the fire in my heart. The heat burns stronger as I see the same need in his dark eyes, brightened by the kiss and darkened by desire; an oxymoron that only love can sustain and satisfy.

"Wow. That was, not to sound cliché or anything but…so much better than I've imagined." Shaking his head and sporting a grin that rivals Jace's after killing a demon, he leans in again and I finally succumb.

Everyone always said there's no key to my heart, so much so that I nearly believed it myself. But that was all before I met Simon.
