Chapter 10! I'm honestly so surprised that this story has even lasted 10 chapters! I really hope that you are all enjoying this story, and that you will follow, favourite, and review, to share your thoughts, and any corrections, or suggestions!

Turns out, Jace wasn't here for me, he was here to use the bathroom, and he looked quite surprised to see me here.

Izzy let him in, and only after he staggered slightly, did I realise that he was drunk. I walked back over to Izzy, who had turned on the tv and was watching tangled.

It was up to the part where Rapunzel and Flynn are on the boat and they sing At last I see the the light. I started to sing along, quiet at first, but me and Izzy ended up dancing with each other and singing very loudly.

We didn't hear the toilet flush, or Jace coming into the room. We just continued to sing, so much emotion in our voices. When the song ended, we were both gasping for breath, wiping sweat from our foreheads.

We smiled at each other joyously, before remembering Jace, who seemed very interested in my eyes.

He just wouldn't look away, and continued to stare at me. Izzy, noticing this, frowned slightly, before announcing that she would go to bed, barely saying goodnight, and rushing off to her room to give us some privacy.

Me and Jace's gazes held, and all of a sudden, he was a lot closer than before. He smelled faintly of alcohol, though I barely noticed. I was too busy staring at his intriguing perfect golden eyes, his long golden eyelashes.

He was even closer now, and I could see every detail of his perfect, angular cheekbones, every curve of his lips.

My heart started to beat faster, as his face came only a few centimetres from mine.

My knees felt weak.

"You're so beautiful", he whispered, and I would've blushed if I hadn't been focusing so intently on his eyes, staring in wonder at the angelic golden colour in them, and the adoring expression he wore.

I could feel his breath on my face, and I felt drunk.

His hand came up and gently started to caress my cheek, and I let my eyelids flutter closed, absorbing the warmth that radiated from his touch.

His touch sent tingles through my whole body, and I could've fallen asleep if I wanted to.

He pulled away, and I resisted the urge to whine.

"You're always so understanding, and you almost treat people kindly, and I love how you can be really mood-d-y", he slurred the last part, but I din't even notice.

He was now using his fingers to trace the shape of my lips, and I just sat there and let him, my breath warm on his fingers.

He licked his lips, and mine parted.

He moved to close the distance between us, and I didn't protest at all. We were both leaning forward, my head tilting to the side slightly, and our gazes remained on the others' lips.

I felt his breath on my lips once more, before we were kissing.

Time seemed to stop, and the world was drowned out, and all that mattered was Jace's lips on mine. Our lips moved in synchronised patterns, slow and fragile, as though we were afraid that we might shatter like glass.

As we kissed, I couldn't help but let my mind wonder over all the possibilities that were now open for us. But what happens if we don't work out, a part of my brain said. I told it to shut up and focused entirely on the boy in front of me, the golden boy, whom I was kissing, and who made me feel so incredibly happy.

Jace's hands went to under my shirt, mine in his hair, grabbing and tugging to my desire.

With shaky hands, he unbuttoned my shirt, before pulling it over my head.

I looked down self-consciously, I was only in a plain white bra, nothing exotic.

But Jace didn't seem to care. He was just seeing me.

I tugged on his shirt impatiently until it came off.

Whilst kissing, I moved the both of us to Izzy's guest bedroom.

As soon as we got in, Jace all but jumped, with me in his arms, onto the bed.

He was now on top of me, covering me completely, and his eyes were full of desire.

A thought occurred to me suddenly, that I was not the first one whom Jace had done this to. I was letting myself be toyed with, just like he toyed with those other girls.

All he cared about was getting me into bed, just like those other jerks who Izzy always recommends. They were all the same, and I was a fool for thinking one to be different.

I remembered that he was quite drunk, and probably wouldn't remember this happening.

When Jace went to take off my jeans, I put one hand on his, and stopped him. He looked incredibly confused for one moment, then became suddenly angry.

I got up from the bed, pulling on an old shirt. He started to yell, so I held the door open for him and told him: "get out".

"Oh, so you let me kiss you, you lead me to your bedroom, then you stop me from doing the whole deed? Who the hell do you think you are?", he asked angrily.

"I'm Clary Fray", I said in response, before once agin gesturing for the door.

This time, he left, and I heard the front door slam behind him. Izzy appeared in her bedroom doorway, looking confused.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, what just happened?", she asked.

"I do mind you asking, please jot now Iz", I said in response, and she looked hurt.

"Look, I'm sorry for snapping, but I should probably sleep before I take my anger out on you. Goodnight", I said plainly, before once again entering the guest room, this time to sleep.

All night, I lay awake, lost in thought about what to do next.

Little did I know that Jace Herondale spent the night regretting what he had done, and feeling guilty, and crying in fact.

I guess I would see him tomorrow, and hopefully he wouldn't remember what had happened tonight, but of course, he did.

He wouldn't tell me right away of course, but I knew that when the moment came, he would.

There's nothing I can do about it tonight, I thought, as my mind drifted off to sleep, and to dreams of the Golden Boy.

Well, that was Chapter 10! I hope your not too disappointed about the outcome of that kiss, but I thought that this would make for a longer, and more interesting story. I hope that you will follow, favourite, and review!

I wish you all the best,

Raziel Bless You,
