Chapter 2 -

I blinked my eyes open letting them adjust to the light, and smiled because I was still wrapped in the circle of Jace's arms and was still using his chest as a pillow. Even though his muscles were hard, he still managed to make the most comfortable pillow. I felt quite hungry, after last night's workout, and wanted to surprise Jace, so I decided to go and make some breakfast for us. I carefully slid out of Jace's arms and off the bed and looked for one of Jace's shirts. I found the one I ripped of him last night and picked it up, not sorry I ruined it. I breathed the Jaceness of it in and smiled remembering the events of the previous night. I threw it back down and instead pulled out a clean, grey t-shirt and slipped it on along with some panties and quietly slipped out of his bedroom. I would have not have not normally walked around the institute like this, but I knew nobody was home as they were all staying at a hotel near Luke's farm after the wedding and wouldn't be back until late this evening. Yay! I had Jace to myself for the entire day. I skipped into the kitchen happily, put on the radio and began to make breakfast.

Jace's POV

I stirred awake and reached out for Clary's warm, little body, but my hands found nothing. I opened my eyes and looked hopefully around the room but she was nowhere to be seen. I climbed out of bed and put on some boxers and sweatpants. I gazed around the room to see mine and Clary's clothes strewn about carelessly around the room and smiled, remembering last night. Normally, I liked my room to be neat, but I didn't mind this sort of mess for a while and definitely didn't mind the reason the clothes were there. I opened my bedroom door to look out on the corridor to see if I could see Clary. As I did, I got caught a delicious scent of bacon and could hear music playing. I realised my red-haired angel must be in the kitchen making breakfast. What a nice surprise, I thought. When I reached the kitchen door, I saw Clary and leaned against the door frame watching her and smiling. She was lost in that amazing mind of hers, dancing to the music. As she twirled she must have caught a glimpse of me, as she quickly turned back around to face me and stopped dancing. She started to blush slightly. "Don't stop on my account" I said and laughed. She stared at me for a moment the sped across the kitchen towards me and jumped on me, throwing her legs around my waist. She began to kiss me, probably to wipe the smile of my face. I put my arms around her and held her ass, purely for support so she wouldn't fall, of course. I walked her over the kitchen and placed her on the kitchen counter. As I did she wrapped her legs around my hips more tightly, pulling us closer together and I moaned slightly. She drew away after a minute and said, "Ok. You have to let me down so the food doesn't burn. I made bacon and pancakes." I smiled at her and reluctantly picked her up of the counter and placed her feet back on the floor. She placed a chased kiss on my lips before darting around the counter to check the food. "It sounds and smells good" I said and she looked over her shoulder at me, smiled and winked before turning her attention back to the frying pan.

We sat and ate the delicious breakfast, Clary so kindly made. When she put our plates in the sink, I went up behind her, wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her against me. She just rested her head against my shoulder for a moment and then I said, "Thanks babe."

"No problem. I was definitely hungry after that work out last night." She smiled.

"So was I" I laughed. "Do you want a shower?" I asked hopefully. Clary turned around to face me, tilted her head up and put her luscious, red lips almost to mine and whispered "Race you!" before darting out of the room. I laughed and followed her. In pursuit, I could hear her calling, "You'll never catch me!" from down the corridor and I called back, "We'll see about that Fairchild!" I caught up to her Just as she reached my bedroom door. She flung it open and pushed me inside, slamming the door behind her. She pushed me down on the bed and then jumped on top of me gracefully and kissed me and I kissed her back. She sat up and drew my shirt back over her head, threw it on the floor, kissed me again then climbed off me and over the bed, slowly walking towards the bathroom. I stood up and slipped my sweatpants off. I watched her as she drew down her red panties, slowly, teasing me. I could feel myself getting hard. She then flicked them off her feet and threw them at me and I chased after her grabbed her from behind and spun her around in the bathroom. She was giggling when I set her down and we kissed before she drew me into the shower, after I removed my boxers.

Let me know what you think and if you want me to do the shower lemon in the next chapter...
