Alec had reached the top of the stairs and was now in front of the warlock's door. He raised his hand to knock and then immediately

put it down. What was he doing? He didn't need to knock he'd had a key to Magnus apartment practically the whole time they'd been

seeing each other. It must be the nerves trying to sneak back up on him. He shook them off, pulled the key out of his pants pocket

and opened the door. The first thing he notice was the cold. He looked across the loft and saw that all the windows were open and

there were 3 huge fans blowing. He quickly cross the room and shut the windows. He then turned his attention to the fans. He was

sure magic had put them there, but he also knew they had come from somewhere and could be manually shut off. He started

surveying the huge fans trying to find the on/off switch when suddenly they all disappeared. Alec had been in the warlocks presence

long enough to no longer be fazed by the instant disappearance or appearance of objects. He knew it was Magnus and turned to

greet him. He was standing by the coach looking his usual amazing self. Alec wouldn't dare wear the blue and purple pinstriped suit,

but on Magnus it looked great. His hair was down just like Alec liked it, and he'd left his shirt opened at the top exposing the smooth

golden skin of his neck and chest. Alec let out the breath he wasn t aware he'd been holding and just stared. He still wasn t quite

ready for the rush of emotion he always felt at the sight of Magnus. For whatever reason he felt it more tonight. He wasn't alone,

Magnus was looking at him with a look of wonder in his eyes. Neither said a word. They just stood and soaked each other in. Magnus

was first to break the silence.

"You look stunning. I mean it Alec, absolutely stunning."

Alec was speechless. It wasn't what Magnus had said it was how he'd said it. With so much passion and lust in his eyes that it sent

goose bumps down his spine. Alec swallowed and with a shaky breath replied,

"You too." Magnus could tell he'd unnerved the boy and immediately set out to clam him down. He cocked his head to the side and

said in a teasing voice said, "Well if I look so good why are you still standing way over there?"

Alec blushed and cross the distance between them. Magnus pulled him into his arms and looked down at him with a mischievous

gleam in his eyes.

"I hope you plan on kissing me soon because we can't start our night until you do."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"What if I don't want a kiss? What if I just want to stare at you all night?"

"Oh, darling I'm sure you'd prefer a kiss," and then Magnus mouth was on his pulling, tugging, and sucking mercifully. Magnus was

kissing him with an urgency he'd never shown before. Alec was quickly caught up in the frenzy and threw his arms around Magnus

neck. He buried his fingers in his hair and began tugging. Magnus responded by sliding his hands down Alecs' side and cupping his

behind. Alec groaned and tried to hitch one of his legs around Magnus waist. This is the moment Magnus realized the kiss had gotten

way out of control. He'd only been teasing, trying to loosen Alec up but once the shadowhunter was in his arms looking at him with

those electric blues eyes and full lips Magnus couldn't help himself. He thought the kiss would be playful and even a little chaste, but

there was nothing chaste about this kiss. This kiss was wild, sloppy, and passionate. It was the type of kiss that lead straight to the

bedroom, and Magnus wasn't ready for that just yet. It took all of his self control to push Alec away. Alec looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong?"Magnus fought to clalm his breathing.

"Nothing's wrong darling. I just thought we'd have dinner first, I went through great pains to prepare it. Alec raised one eyebrow,

"By great pains do you mean you actually picked up and paid for the takeout instead of magiking it here and not paying? Magnus

looked at him through narrow silted eyes.

"I'll have you know shadowhunter, that I made it myself."

"Made what yourself?"

"Dinner silly."

"You're joking, right?"

"No, I am not joking. Now go sit your cute little butt down why I fixed our plates. Alec turned around to find a marble table with two

white leather chairs in the middle of the loft.

"Geez Magnus is fast," he muttered to himself. There was a banquet of roses in the middle of the table with matching

candlesticks on each side giving off a soft glow. As he lowered himself into one of the chairs he noted that Magnus had also pulled

the shades down on the windows and dimmed the lights. There was soft music playing in the background and a bottle of champagne

with two glasses had appeared on the table. Alec decided to pour the champagne while he wanted on Magnus. He didn t have to

wait long. Magnus came out of the kitchen carrying two plates a couple minutes later. He set one down infront of Alec. Alec looked

down at his plate and stared.

"Don't tell me you never had lobster before?" Alec looked a little embarrassed.

"To be honest I mostly eat pizza and chinese take out.

"Well, you don't know what you're missing. Go ahead, give it try." Alec looked down at his plate with apprehension. Isabelle always

wanted Alec to try her cooking and he usually ended up gagging. Ignoring his fear, he grabbed the fork and dug in. Magnus waited

patiently for Alec to taste the food; tentatively at first and them with enthusiasm.

"Wow, this is really good."

"Glad to hear it, you acted as if I given you a two headed snake at first."

"Sorry."

"You're forgiven."

"So when did you learn to cook? Magnus waved his fork in the air.

"Oh, I got bored in the 50's." Alec laughed.

"So after 60 years you decided to dusk off your apron?"

"I did not wear an apron. I wore a smock, and I did it for you."

"For me." Magnus shook he's head yes as he took a slip of champagne.

"Yes you." He reached across the table and grabbed Alec's hand.

"I magik a lot of things because I don t want to be bothered, but I wanted you to know that when it comes to you I'm never

bothered. I do things for you happily and willing regardless of time or effort. For you Alec, I'd do anything." Alec squeezed Magnus

hand.

"I really appreciate all the trouble you go through for me."

Magnus rub the back of Alec's hand with his thumb.

"I told you, it's no trouble." Alec leaned in and gave Magnus a quick kiss on the mouth.

"Thank you, I mean it." Magnus tapped Alec on the nose with his index finger and winked.

"So now you know I'd do anything for you; including nearly burning my finger tips off, and catching my apartment on fire." Alec blinked

"Well that would explain the windows being wide open and the huge fans."

"I burnt the first batch of rolls. These I...um, magiked up," Magnus added a little guilty.

"So you didn't cook everything?"

"Technically no, but that's only because I didn't have time to make another batch before you got here."

"It's ok, I forgive you." Alec teased.

"You better, and that's enough of me being in the hot seat. What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Just how did Isabelle con you into wearing this lovely Armani suit?

"How did you know it was Armani?"

"I can spot a designer suit a mile away love, and you didn t answer my question. How did Isabelle get you into that suit you look so

delicious in?" Alec sat back in his chair and cross his arms.

"I'll have you know warlock, that Isabelle didn't con me into anything. I did this all by myself." It was Magnus turn to look dubious.

"Ok, she did help with the hair and get me the tie but everything else was all me."

"Well now I'm impressed. I was sure you'd show up in your usual dreadful attire."

"I wanted to surprise you. I wanted to see that twinkle in your eye that you get whenever you re delighted about something. I

wanted to make you happy."

"You always make me happy, but your right I am delighted to see you in a suit and flattered you'd go through the trouble for me."

"It's not that bad."

"Does that mean you'd been willing to let me take you on a little shopping excursion?"

"Absolutely not." Magnus laughed.

"I didn t think so." The song that had been playing in the background stopped, and a new one began. Magnus closed his eyes and

sighed.

"I love this song. It reminds me of you and me. "

"Then why don t you dance with me?" Magnus opened his eyes to find Alec standing over him with his hand held out. Magnus took

the outstretched hand,

"Why Alexander I thought you'd never ask." They moved to the middle of the floor and Alec put both arms around Magnus neck, while

Magnus rested his hands on Alecs waist.

"What s the name of this song?

"Heaven Knows by Squeeze." Alec nodded and listened to the lyrics.

I don t care what the world as to say, you should know that I love you.

I love you, I love you today.

Magnus pulled Alec closer while they swayed to the music. Alec nuzzled into Magnus neck.

"Is there a particular time you need to be home?" Alec looked up at Magnus.

"I m not going home tonight." Magnus leaned down until there foreheads were touching and there lips were inches apart.

"I was hoping you d say that."

"Why?" Magnus response was quick and fierce.

"You know why."

"Say it Magnus. I want to here you say it."

"I want you." Without a word Alec pulled away and began to slowly take off his suit jacket, then his vest. Magnus watch with heavy

lidded eyes as Alec crossed the loft towards the bedroom. When he reached the door he let his shirt fall to the floor, and with one

last look over his shoulder went into the bedroom. Magnus shrugged out of his own jacket and followed.

Sorry it took so long to update. I would blame it on finals but the truth is I had a little writer's block. The first 3 chapters just flowed so easily I wasn't expected the fourth to be this hard. The dialog just wasn't flowing. I rewrote several parts of this multiple times, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. Hopefully next chapter goes smooth, but I doubt it. The closer I get to the "big moment" the harder it get's. I'll try to update soon. Within the next week. Thank's for all the reviews and story alerts I appreciate it. Let me know what you think! Review, Review, Review!

P.s. sorry if there are any grammar and spelling mistakes. I'm posting this at 5am so if I missed something let me know and I'll get to it later. Right now, I'm going to bed.
