Binge watch ch 9

All I have to say is that Lokai bracelets aren't mine-they're in the chapter like once-just in case. And ENJOY! I had a funny idea and I think you guys will enjoy it. Btw It gets steamy in this chapter. Beware.

Okay sorry! ENJOY! I love y'all!

CLARY POV

It has been two months since Jace's birthday and I wake up to Jace whispering dirty-but sweet none the less-nothings into my ear. A small smile grows onto my face and I turn on to my side to face him.

"Good morning Bub."Jace says quietly. I smile at the old nickname, Bub. "I love waking up to a quiet, peaceful house with you. I don't have to wake up to Jon banging around in the kitchen. I get to wake up to you. By the way that thing with Jon and I going to New York to visit Alec is today. We are only gonna be there for three days though."

"I know. And good morning to you too, cutey. I'll miss you. Do you need help packing?"

"No I don't but I'd love your help." He says leaning over me and wrapping his arms around me.

"Okay. But five more minutes." I say and start to kiss him sweetly.

We stop after a moment and go into the closet and get some clothes out to pack for Jace. I put in a short sleeved denim button down shirt, dark jeans, a red button down with rolled up sleeves, worn-jeans and a white t shirt and ripped jeans. He puts in his Docs, underwear and his toiletries. I put some socks in before he shuts the small, black case and zips it up around the sides.

A few hours later we drive to the airport, me in a simple, boxy white t shirt and ripped jean shorts and my Sperries and Jace in a gray t shirt and jeans and another pair of Docs of his. When we get inside, not a minute later Jace's flight is called and we have to say our goodbyes. I lean into him and look up.

"Do you have to go babe?"

"Yes. I do. Alec is like my brother and it's been a while. Besides its been so long since all of us guys just hung out." He says, putting his hands in the back pockets of my jean shorts. "You're so beautiful. I'll miss you. Especially this wild red hair of yours." My hair was currently in a high ponytail and had a bit of hair sticking out on the sides of my face.

"Why thank you. I'll miss you too. I love you." I say and hug him.

"I love you too. I'll text you everyday. I have to go." He says hugging back.

"I know. Bye." I say and let go and give him a short kiss.

"Bye." He says and walks off.

JACE POV

When I get to New York I text Clary telling her I landed and get a taxi to Alec's apartment. When I get there, I hug Alec and we wait for Jon. Alec told us that he wanted to do something but didn't tell us what so Jon and I had to find out later.

When he finally gets to the loft, we hail a cab and Alec tells the driver the address, not giving away a specific place. When the cab stops I look outside to see where he wanted to take us. I see a large store with the words 'TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS' on the front. I laugh and look to Jon who has a shocked and scared face.

"We made a bet in high school Jace that if you ever got hurt in a college football game and had to go to the hospital for it then you had to get a piercing."

"Oh my gosh Seriously? Do I have to do it?"

"Yes you swore you would."

"Aww fuck." I whisper and slap my forehead.

Jon and Alec laugh "I didn't hear you." Jon says

"Aww FUCK!" I say and mimic my face-palm again. "You guys have to get tattoos then." I challenge.

I get a 'why not?' From Jon and a 'let's do it' from Alec. We walk inside and tell them what we want. We get my piercing first and I hold Alec's hand from the pain. I get it in my nose. I get a small ring on the right side and the whole time I am clenching Alec's hand and close my eyes. A tear slips from my eye at the pain and everyone laughs. When I'm finished I realize Jon filmed the whole thing. Now we have to call my mom to tell her the news. I pay for the piercing and we go to a corner of the shop to call them. I call my mom first, knowing she won't freak out as much as Clary will.

"Hi mom. How are things?" I ask

"Hi Jace. Things are good. How are you? I haven't talked to you in forever." She says. I have always loved her thick accent and smile when she asks me how I am.

"I'm good actually. I just finished getting my nose pierced." I say cautiously.

"What?! Jonathan did you really? Send me a picture. Did you get a video?"

"Yeah. Jon got a video. I'm with Alec and Jon right now in New York. I got a piercing because of a bet Alec and I made. You're on speaker mom. Don't say anything you'll regret."

"Oh my goodness Jonathan. I bet you've gotten one in your tongue too now haven't you. With these piercings you get addicted to them and you can't stop. You get one and then cant stop."

"Mom that's smoking. I don't smoke. I don't have one in my tongue I promise. I'm not addicted and I like it. It suits me."

"Send me a picture. Alec does he have one in his tongue? Be honest Alexander. I have your mums number I can call her and tell her you lied to me." She says addressing Alec. He chuckles.

"No, Mrs. Herondale I promise he hasn't got one in his tongue."

"Well okay. Just send me pictures and Jonathan Chase Herondale don't you ever get anymore piercings. You may keep the nose ring but if I hear of another I will personally rip it out. I love you. Bye Jace."

"I didn't know your middle name was Chase." Jon chimes in. I hold a finger up to silence him.

I smile and tell my mother, " I love you too mom. I'll never get another piercing. I promise. Goodbye." I hang up and ask Jon how he never knew my middle name.

"I dunno. I never asked and you never told. Okay anyway let's go get these tattoos."

I decide I want one too and sit in a chair. I pull up a picture on my phone. It's of the stamp on the first letter Clary sent me when I was overs eased. I'd been thinking of getting it before and took a picture of it. I show it to him and take my shirt off. I get it on my chest, nearly right over my heart. I have it made fairly big and it almost takes up the whole left side of the top of my chest.

When it's finished, I go out of the room and see Alec and Jon sitting in waiting chairs. I pay for my tattoo and they show me their tattoos. Jon got an anchor on the middle of his lower back that looked nearly identical to the one I had on my shoulder.

"Dude look." I show him my right shoulder showing nearly the same inking.

"How many tattoos do you have?" Jon asks with surprise in his voice.

"A lot. I'll show you them all when we get back." I lower the sleeve of my shirt and we get a taxi and head back to Alec's loft.

True to my word, I show Jon all of my tattoos. I have 9 tattoos in total; the one I just got, the anchor, one that says 'John 3:16' that's on my back, a detailed rose on my forearm, a bird on my inner-upper arm, another of the words 'love forever' on my left ankle, a cross on my right hand wrist-that Clary has one of on her wrist- another that is a bird on my hip, and one more of a large tree on my left shoulder that has small 'V' shaped birds flying away from it.

"I'm very proud of my ink." I say, putting my shirt back on. "What'd you get Alec?" I sit down in one of the comfy chairs in the living space.

"I'll show you." Alec pulls off his shirt and turns around, showing a heart on his shoulder with his little brothers name, Max and his birth date and death date. " I know it's cheesy but I wanted something to remember him by. And he'd always wanted a tattoo so I made it sort of his tattoo in a way." Alec says blushing a little.

"That's sweet. It's getting late. I'm gonna hit the sack. Good night." I say and get up.

"Okay. Night." Alec says.

If Jon responds I don't hear it because I'm already in my room. I get in bed after getting changed into some sweatpants. The bed isn't as comfy as the one at home but that is mostly because Clary isn't here. I text her goodnight.

'Hey. I could sleep until I told you how much I love and miss you. Goodnight my love.'

'Aww. Jace you're too sweet. I love you too. And miss you a lot! How's New York?'

'Amazing! I got a new tattoo.'

'Awesome! Can't wait to see. I miss you so much babe :/'

'I also got a nose ring...;)'

'You what?! Jonathan Chase Herondale when you get home I'm gonna rip that thing out of your face!'

'It doesn't look half bad. Please don't. You'll like what you see;) if you don't already.'

I send her a picture in which she responds with heart-eye emojis.

'Okay I won't rip it out. Why'd you get one anyway?'

'A dare from the tenth grade with Alec. Do you still love me?:)'

'Yes more than you know. It actually looks really good. It suits you. What does your tat look like?'

'It's the stamp from the letters you sent me when I was overseas:)'

'Oh my gosh really? Dude I love you so much right now it's not even funny. I miss you like hell:/'

'Aww. I miss you too:( I'll be home in two days. I promise. I love you. Good night.'

'Goodnight. Sleep tight. I can't wait until the next time I see you. :D'

I fall asleep with thoughts of Clary and our wedding day in my head.

CLARY POV

I wake up to my phone, sounding an alert for a message. It's from Jace.

'I wish a good morning to the person who's kisses are the reason for my happiness and who's hugs make my life priceless. I love you. Good morning.'

I text back 'ALERT- worlds hottest boyfriend just woke up. Good morning. I love you more. Have fun in New York today!'

'I woke up with a sweat. Not because the air was too hot to handle but because my dream about you was too hot to handle;)'

'Hahahaha. Get your head out of the gutter! Have a good day. I need to get ready for classes.'

'Have fun. Only a month of college left for us! Then we graduate!'

'Love you.'

'Love you more.'

'Impossible.'

'Goodbye, Bub.'

'Goodbye, babe.'

I laugh at the old nickname, Bub, he calls me. I start to get ready for the day and when I get out of the shower the doorbell rings. I go down there in just my towel and open the door, keeping the majority of my body behind the door.

"A package for Clarissa Fray." The delivery man tells me. I take the box from him and look at who it's from. Before he walks off, I ask the delivery man who it's from. He tells me Jace Herondale and I smile ear to ear. I close the door and open the package immediately. It's a Lokai bracelet. I read he card attached to the box.

'Dear Bub,

I can believe you are mine! You light up my day. You've been with me through my highest points and my lowest points. That's why I got you this bracelet. I got one just like it so I could look at it and think of you and your love. Thank you for everything.

Sincerely, Jace.'

'Only Jace' I think to myself and smile.

Two more days pass and I am on my way to pick Jace up from the airport. When I see him I squeal and jump up from my criss-cross position in a waiting chair. I run to him and jump up, swinging my legs around him. I put my head in his shoulder as he latches his arms together under my butt. He kisses the side of my head and I can feel his smile. He puts me down and looks at me.

"Hey Bub! You look hot!" He says to me. I look down at my simple outfit that includes ripped denim shorts, a black crop top and white Keds and shrug.

"Thanks. I try. How was New York? OhMyGosh! Your piercing! It looks so good!" I say excitedly just now noticing the small ring through his nostril.

"Why thank you. It was really fun but the whole time I thought of you."

"Aww. Same. I missed you and I loved your little gift! That was so sweet." I grab his black thick framed Ray Bans and put them on my face. I grab his hand and we make our way to his car. "I haven't taken it off since." I say and hold my hand up, showing off my bracelet.

"Same. We are such a cheesy couple. We having matching tattoos, bracelets, and we have nicknames." He laughs and I giggle. "Only with you Clary. Only with you."

"Only with you Jace. Only with you." I say.

He opens my car door from me and I get in thanking him. He closes my door, puts his suitcase in the back of the truck and gets in on the drivers side.

"Damn I missed this truck." Jace says. When we get home I hop out and we go inside. "You know what I also missed?"

"What?"

"You."

Jace sets his suitcase down and waists no time bending down and pressing his lush lips against mine. I put my hands around his neck, his hair getting long again from when it was cut. My rings clash against each other when I weave my fingers together. He puts his hands in my back pockets again and we somehow move into the living room. Jace lays me down onto the ivory couch. I kick off my shoes and put one leg slightly around Jace. He tears his shirt off and I wrap my arms lazily around his neck but not before noticing his new tattoo.

"Your new tattoo. It's amazing." I say.

Jace just smirks in response. "We should get another matching tattoo."

"Let's do it when we are finished destroying this couch."

He starts to lay down on me and I slowly inch my shirt up. Jace reaches behind me and zips down the metal, white zipper on the back of my shirt. I lift my arms up and let him pull my top off just as the doorbell rings.

I jump in surprise and curse loudly. I grab my shirt as Jace gets the door, clearly aggravated. I get my shirt back on just as I get into the closed off entry way. Jace is hugging his mom tightly. They've always been so close.

"Mum! Oh my gosh what are doing here? I'm so happy to see you! When did you get here?" Jace says as he hugs his mom.

"I'm grand! How are you? I got here a while ago. You've grown I swear." Her accent is deep and thick and I can't help but smile. Jace steps away and pulls me over.

"Mum this is my fiancé, Clary." I hug his mom and smile. She is very slender and tall with shoulder length blond hair that is wavy and I see where Jace gets it from.

"Hello Clary. We've met before, Jace. Just never as her being your fiancé." I pull away and sneak into Jace's side. "Is this the new tattoo I've been told about? And look at that nose. I don't know if I like it in your face."

"What? I love it. I think it suits me. Do you like my tattoo?"

"Yes I do but what is it? Is that a stamp?"

"Yeah. It's a stamp from the first letter Clary sent me when I was overseas."

"Oh it's beautiful Jace."

"Come inside its blistering hot out there." Jace says and grabs her suitcases from behind her. "Jocelyn and Jon moved out and Clary and I remodeled the inside. D'you like it?"

"Of course! It looks lovely." I walk inside with them into the living room and pick up the throw pillows and put them on the couch.

"I'm going to go make some strawberry lemonade. I'll be right back." I say and walk into the kitchen. I get the water, strawberries, lemons and sugar out and a big, glass pitcher for it. I mix the ingredients, using a handheld lemon juicer and crush up the strawberries and only use the juices of them in the mix of sugar and water. When the lemonade is finished, I pour it in to three glasses and put a thin slice of lemon in each glass. I bring it out to Jace's mom noticing Jace's absence.

"Where's Jace?"

"He went to put my bags away in a room."

"Oh okay cool." I sit down next to her and we talk about everything and nothing. I was telling her about Jace and I getting tattoos later on today and she told me she was going to meet up with my mom this afternoon when Jace enters the room again sitting down in an arm chair. I tell her about Izzy and I's record deal.

"Wow that's amazing! And you've never sang professionally before?" Celine asks

"Not unless singing in the shower counts.

We are actually opening for a singer in a week. You should come if you are still going to be here."

"Yes definitely! I'd love to see you perform Clary!" I see where Jace gets his beautiful voice from because his mom has one too.

"I'll be right back. I'm gonna go to the restroom." I say and hurry off.

After reveling myself, I sit on Jace's lap in the armchair he's in and sit against one of the arms.

"We were talking about the plan for the day." Jace says after taking a sip of lemonade.

"Okay. Let's here it." I respond, stealing the lemonade from his hand and taking a drink of my own. I wink at him and smile into the blue straw in the full glass of sour liquid.

"So while we get our tattoos in a little bit, mum is going to hang out with Jocelyn and then we will all come back here, go for a ride on the beach then come back and eat."

"Sounds like a good plan. Although where are we going to eat?"

"No clue. I'm going to leave that to you Bub." Jace tells me.

"You guys are like a married couple already." Jace's mom says. I blush and Jace chuckles wrapping an arm around me.

"Thank you." Jace says. "Okay I'm gonna go get ready and get out of these clothes then we can go. Mum did you rent a car?"

"Yeah."

"Perfect."

I get off of Jace's lap and we go upstairs, his mom calling his dad telling her she was here. When we get upstairs, I shut the door and walk over to the bed and jump up on to it. I pet Jace's dog who is already on the bed and he licks my arm. I sigh with content and Jace lays down on his back next to me, still shirtless from earlier.

"What's wrong Bub?"

"I didn't get to finish what I started earlier."

I look down to him and crawl on top of him. He runs his hands up and down my covered arms. "I know. Maybe we can when we finish after our tattoos."

"I love you." I say randomly and put the side of my head down on his chest.

"I love you too."

After a few minutes, I say something. "I've been thinking and since you got a nose piercing I was thinking I could get a piercing too. Not in my nose but in my belly button."

"You can do whatever makes you happy although a belly button ring would be extremely sexy."

"Really?"

"M-hmm"

"Well then it's settled."

When we get to the small tattoo shop, Jace and I tell them what we want. I get '5/16/1991' on my neck and a J under it. 5/16/1991 is Jace's birthday. He's going to get my birthday- 4/6/1992-and initial about an inch under his collarbone. The tattoo stings but I welcome it. When I am finished I join Jace in the entry of the tattoo shop and get ready for my piercing. We go into a back room and I hold Jace's hand. They stick the needle through and I squeeze my eyes shut. I clench Jace's hand and I cry a little.

"Aww" Jace says and chuckles. I laugh a little too and open my eyes and look down at my new pierce.

"I'm not crying." I say and laugh. "That hurt!"

"Do you like it?" The girl piercing it says.

"Yeah I love it!" The ring was a small jewel at the top and the bottom had a big jewel.

Jace wipes my tears away and I giggle.

We go to the front counter and pay. I hold Jace's hand and thank him for the tattoo and pierce. All I had to do now was call my mom and Luke. I had to admit that I was a bit nervous. When Jace and I get into the truck, I put my mom on speaker and wait for her to pick up. She does on the third ring.

"Hello."

"Hey mom. How are you?"

"I'm good how are you?"

"I'm good. I'm actually in the car with Jace and we just got tattoos of each other's birthdays. And then I got a piercing."

"Where?"

"In my belly button."

"Clarissa Adele Fray! Why? I'm going to get your father on the phone." I look to Jace with a scared smile and a small laugh.

"Hello Clary." I hear Luke say.

"Hi Luke."

"Tell him about what you just did Clary." My mom pipes in.

"I got a new tattoo and a piercing in my belly button." I say.

"Cool. Did it hurt at all?" Luke being the good father he is says.

"Yes. But it was worth it. It looks really good."

"Luke you should be backing me up on this not agreeing with her." Jocelyn says.

"Why not mom? It looks cute! I promise."

"Send me a picture then I will think about it." Before I can respond, my mom hangs up and I burst into a fit of helpless laughter.

"Oh gosh. That went a lot better than I expected."

When we get back home I get on my swimsuit. The top is a white top that ties in the back and looks like lace and shows off the little amount of cleavage I have. The bottoms are white with lace sides and hardly cover any of my butt. I put on some shorts and then a light black cardigan. I put on some tanning lotion and sit on the bed, putting Jace's dog in my lap. Jace comes out of the closet with his swim trunks and quickly changes into a black pair of swim shorts. He always goes barefoot and without a shirt because otherwise it 'looks weird' according to him. He shows off his tattoos. I grab my black framed aviators and Jace grabs his Ray Bans and we go to the horses.

When his mom is finished getting on her swimsuit and a t shirt and shorts over it, she meets us in the stable. Jace gets out his crisp and clean white and black paint horse out, a black neck rope and slips it over the horses head and neck. He mounts the horse and turns to face me, waiting for me to do the same with my sleek grey dappled horse named Ghost. I slip a white neck rope around his neck and hop on. Jace's mom is going to use Ajax my show horse. Celine gets out an English Figure Eight bridle for Ajax and slips it on. She hops on and pats his neck. We walk out of the ally way and head down the long road to the beach.

When we get there, we get in the water with the horses. After a few minutes I get off and take my shorts and cardigan off and set them down. I get back on Ghost and gallop him across the beach. I stop him when I get to a big rock and dismount from his back. I climb up the rock and sit down on the edge seeing a perfect view of the sunset.

"Hey little miss. How's the view up there?" Jace asks me before climbing off the back of his paint horse.

"Amazing! Where's Celine?"

"She went back because she wanted to start dinner." Jace climbs up onto the rock and when he sits down I sit in his lap straddling him with my legs.

"Okay." I respond. "I love being in love with you. I love your smile your hugs your kisses..." I say after many sweet moments of silence. I lean into him and kiss the place where his heart is. I rest my head on his chest and he rubs my back. "You're my favorite."

"You're my favorite too. I don't want to leave."

"Me either. We should take our engagement photos here."

"Sure. Your wish is my command. We should get home for dinner."

"Yeah. I'll race you." I say and jump of the rock. I quickly mount Ghost and we take off. I hold onto his main and smile. After a few minutes I slow down and wait for Jace to catch up. It only takes a few minutes for him to reach me and when he does he's holding my cardigan and white denim shorts.

"You left these on the beach and although I do love you in what you're in right now I know how much you loved these shorts."

I laugh and thank him. We walk home on our horses and when we get there, Jace plucks me off of Ghost and we put them away hanging up their neck ropes in the large tack room when we do.

We head inside and immediately I smell Pink Mac and Cheese and stop to inhale the scent deeper. I close my eyes and groan.

"Pink Mac and Cheese is my weakness."

"What about me?" Jace whispers huskily in my ear making my eyes widen and I stiffen snaking Jace's arm. I go upstairs and start to change. I feel eyes on me and roll my eyes turning around. I playfully glare at Jace as he watches me undress. He walks over to me and kisses me sweetly.

"Oh the things you do to me." He says.

"You're so horny today." I kiss him back with an open mouth and take off my swim top and turn around to get on a white t shirt and gray leggings. Jace changes into black sweatpants and grabs my hand. We make our way downstairs. When we get down there we sit at the table and I look at Jace about to say something about his bare chest when Celine says something.

"Jonathan you aren't eating until you have on a shirt."

"What?! It's my house."

"Our house," I correct him, "and I agree with your mom."

A minute or so, Jace comes down the stairs and walks to the table grumbling about having to dress his bare chest.

The next day, I'm out in the barn, saddling up the horse Jace got me for his proposal. I named the stark black horse Cooper. I throw the Billy Cook saddle up onto the tall, Apendix Quarter Horse's-Thoroughbred Quarter Horse mix-back and undo the breast collar and cinch. I go to the other side and grab the cinch and hurts and saddle up. I fix up the breast collar and whither strap and go back into the tack room for Coopers Cheri Cervi combination bit-Hackamore bit and lift bit combined. When I come back out I nearly run into the cold hard body that is my crazy ex.

"What are you doing here Sebastian?" I say, while undoing the cross ties from Coopers halter.

"I was wondering if you could help with my girlfriend, Kaelie's horse. This is completely professional I swear and I would be paying you $100 a lesson and $250 per rodeo or barrel run you took her horse to."

"Really?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Yes. Please Clary?"Sebastian begs.

After turning around and putting Coopers bridle on, and thinking about it, I turn around. "Have her trailer her horse out her tomorrow at 7 am sharp." I say, looking at him pointedly.

"She can't haul her own horse. She has other people do it for her."

I scoff. "What rider doesn't know how to haul their own damn trailer?!"

"Kaelie..."

"Fine. Whatever. Her horse will stay out here and she will pay for the hay and being her own feed here."

"Done. Thanks." He says and walks off as I lead my horse into the arena.

I start to ride Cooper around and when I'm finished, I cool him down and hand him to one of the ranch hands to unsaddle him and put him away.

I get out an old show horse of mine, named Apollo. He is a dark liver chestnut colored horse who has about 25 dots on his back and hind quarters. They are all fairly big-about 1 to 2 inches wide- making him an American Paint horse. He has Zippos Mr. Good Bar-famous show horse-in his blood and is an amazing gelding. I was taking him to a show this weekend and we needed to practice. I saddle him up and get out his bridle.

After slipping the leather over his perfectly clipped ears, and leading him to the outdoor arena, I get on his back and tighten my reins. He puts his head down as I drive him forward with my feet, that wear Spurs on the heels. After a minute or two of riding I bring him into his trot and Jace walks onto the arena with his roping horse.

"Hey." He greets

"Hello."

"Do you want to go on a ride?"

"Yeah. I actually need your wise advice on something." I say as he mounts his horse.

"Okay. Talk."

"Sebastian came over earlier and asked me to train his girlfriends horse."

"Okay. So are you gonna do it?"

"I think so. He's paying a lot of money. Money that could very well be spent on the horses."

"Yeah. I think after looking at what you have to work with, that you should do it. You know, like assessing the damage."

"Yeah." By now we were on the beach and walking in a comfortable silence on the backs of our horses.

Had to end it here. I dunno when I'll have another chapter up but probably soon. The next chapter will be the very little talked about wedding. Go check out my new one shot of Clace. I have another one coming up shortly and it's gonna be a real tear jerker. I guarantee it.
