"Clary? What is going on?"

I couldn't breath. I couldn't think. I just kissed a man that was not my boyfriend and this said boyfriend just witnessed it happen.

"J-Jace?" I jolted over to him, shaking. "It didn't mean anything I p-promise. Please. Simon kissed me. I-It's not what y-you think."

He didn't even look at me. His eyes were pinned on Simon who was now standing in the background, cowering like a scared child.

Jace stormed over to him, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and punched him right in the face. He yelled at him with the deadliest voice that I have ever heard come out of his mouth and said, "Don't ever touch her again, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME SLIMEBAG? She is my girlfriend you twisted bastard, and that is never, ever going to change." He threw Simon down before finishing, "Don't even consider coming back here. Now, GET. OUT."

Simon groaned and slowly stood up. He looked over at me with a sad look in his eyes. "Clary?"

I didn't know what he expected me to say. Did he think that I would just leave Jace and go with him? Like that would ever happen.

"Simon, I loved you once. But that was lifetimes ago. Even when we were together, I made myself love you, thinking that it was right, but the truth is that we were never good for each other. Yes, I did love you, but I don't anymore. I am head over heels in love with the man that just punched you in the face."

At this, I saw out of the corner of my eye that Jace's head snapped towards me, finally looking at me. "I don't have to convince myself that I'm happy when I'm with him, not like I did when I was with you."

I stop and take a long breath before continuing. "So, I forgive you for everything with Maya, but this is where it ends ok? Find someone that you can really love Simon. But, that girl's not me."

Simon started to respond, but stopped himself and looked down, nodding his head slowly. "You're right, Clary." He brought his head back up and gave me a small smile. "I'm sorry that I stirred all this up again. I hope that you get all you want out of life, Clary. And I know that his guy," He sticks this thumb out towards Jace, "will take care of you. Not like I did. See you around." He smiled again and left the apartment.

I sighed with relief. I hesitantly turned to look at Jace who hadn't said a word the whole time. "Jace…?"

"Clary, have you been seeing him?" he asked with an expressionless face.

Wait, what? "No, of course not, Jace. He only came once before to proclaim his undying love to me, which ended with me slamming the door shut in his face."

Jace snorted. "So then why didn't you tell me about it? And how did you end up kissing him tonight?"

I said breathlessly, "Jace, please you have to believe me. Simon kissed me tonight. Not the other way around. I meant it when I told him that I didn't love him anymore. I love you. I didn't tell you because I thought that you would break up with me." I finished quietly. My body tensed waiting for the blow of him dumping me.

Jace's expression changed instantly to one full of love. He even smiled a little. "Of course I wouldn't break up with you. Clary you're everything to me."

I felt a smile coming on too when I said, "So you still love me then?"

He laughed and burst over to me. He picked me up and kissed me with a newfound power. He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against mine, breathing heavily. "I will love you until my last breath, Clarrisa Morgenstern. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever change the way I feel about you."

I smashed my lips on his with a huge smile plastered on my face and I whispered, "I love you more than anything, Jonathan Wayland. Nothing, and mean nothing, will ever change the way I feel about you." I finished copying him.

Somewhere in the middle of all the passionate kissing, I managed to slip my hands under his shirt and pull it over his head. I started to run my hands over his muscular body, just relishing in the feeling that he gave me. He backed me up against the wall, kissing me neck. I closed my eyes and let out a small moan. He basically ripped my tank top of my body in his haste, but I really couldn't care less.

He easily lifted me up again as if I weighed less than a feather and started to make his way to my bedroom. Except there was one problem. We were not going to make it that far. I started to undo his belt buckle, pushing his pants down, letting them fall to his ankles. I was extremely pleased to find him to be already hard as a rock. I brought my hand down and started to handle him through his boxers. He released a low groan. He plopped me down on the couch and slid my sweatpants off my legs.

He came back down on me. Hard. I have never felt or experienced this level of pure happiness and pleasure mixed together until now. I trembled just by his fingertips running down my naked body.

He stopped to look at me, trying to catch his breath.

"What? What's the matter?"

He smiled at me. "Nothing, Clary. I just… I just wanted to savor this moment for a little longer." He brushed a piece of my unruly red hair out of my face. He kissed me again, but gently this time.

God I love this guy.

And with that, we continued on into our love-filled night.

(Time Lapse – Later that night) – Still CPOV

I was wrapped up under the blanket that Jace pulled over us. We were still cuddled up on the couch because we had no strength left to get up and walk into the bedroom. I could feel the whole length of Jace's bare body along mine in the warmth under the blanket. He was lightly tracing small patterns on my back with his fingertips.

I was almost asleep lying in Jace's arms, when something occurred to me.

"Jace, what did you mean when you said that I'm your girlfriend and that's never going to change?"

I was so close to sleep that I almost missed it when he replied to my question.

He chuckled into my shoulder and said, "That's a conversation for another day."

"Sweet dreams, my Clary."

And with that, I fell into a happy, peaceful slumber.
