Later, much later, when Jace and Clary return from their night of dancing.

Clary and Jace are stumbling around the institute trying desperately to suppress their giggles. No, they were not drunk, just relaxed and happy they had a chance to spend the night together.

Clary: giggle,giggle, "It was just so loud. " giggle She puts her hand over her mouth making even the intake of air louder.

Jace: "I know, when he bent over and his pants RRRiiiiipppppppttttt completely down the seam. It was fantastic." Tears were rolling down Jaces' cheeks, he was laughing so hard. "Rrrriiiiippppp."

Clary: "And, nd, nd..." she could not hold onto her words. Her hiccuping making her draw her breath every other second. "Oh, come on now. Hic."

Jace: "BOO!"

Clary: "What the heck!, You scared the runes out of me, Jace. Geez."

Jace: "You're welcome."

Clary:"What?"

Jace: "Notice anything?" Clary looks carefully at Jace. "No, about you, Clary." Clary looks down at herself. She shrugs. "For such a smart girl, you can be dense sometimes, you know that?" Clary looked sad.

Clary: "I know" Jace came close behind Clary and whispered in her ear. "Your hiccups have stopped. Don't be sad. I was just teasing you." Clary took in the realization that her hiccups had stopped.

Clary:" I must be real tired. And yeah, they stopped, thanks." She went on her tippy toes and leaned in to give Jace a kiss on the cheek.

Jace:" Uh, uh. That will not cover it." He had the sly look of a fox in the hen house.

Clary: "Oh, and what would cover such payment kind Shadowhunter?" She batted her eyelashes at him.

Jace: " I think you should follow me to the green house." Jace led the way up to the glass house. When they entered it was dimly lit. It was unusually humid in there and they were still hot and sweaty from the club. The misters turned on automatically, making the humidity more steamy. Clary wiped sweat off of her forehead. It felt cool and damp. When she turned around Jace was right there hungrily looking down at her. Clary smiled and Jace took the invitation and started to kiss her. His lips felt soft to Clary. She felt him smile against her mouth and that made her smile. Jace took advantage of her lips parting and caressed her lips with his tongue until he entered her mouth. The room being so humid now, his tongue felt cooler inside her mouth while it stroked against her tongue. Clary moaned back into Jaces' mouth and he pulled her into a tighter hold. When he finally came up for air Clary asked to sit down.

Jace: "No." Clary didn't understand and she backed up. She was about to protest when Jace scooped her up, off her feet and into his arms. As she laid her head against his chest she heard his hearts steady beat. It lulled her into a dream state. She felt safe and wanted. Jace carried her back to his room. Once inside, he shut the door and locked it. He brought Clary over to his bed and gently placed her on his comforter. She looked up at him with longing and he could not hold himself back . He went down right beside her and his hands and lips were moving at a dizzying speed up and down, on the outside of her clothes and on the inside too. Clary was rolling about, almost thrashing when he tickled a sensitive spot.

Clary:" Jace,what are you doing?" giggled Clary.

Jace: "Looking for you under all these layers, were you Victorian in your last life?" as he peeled off her shrug, and two tank tops, layered for colors with the inner one longer then the outer tee. Clary sat up and peeled everything off in one swoop. Jace sat straight up and looked at her naked torso.

Jace:"Oh, is that how's done." His eyes never leaving her as his hands reached for her, he didn't miss her obvious arousal.

Clary:" No, Jace, this is how it's done." Clary reached over and unbuttoned Jace's jean top button. Jace stood up and pulled everything down and was on top of her kissing her face in record time. One more break and they finished discarding their clothes. Clary took control and led the way. Jace was relieved because he didn't know how fast to go or if anything was out of bounds to her. He knew he thoughts were off her chart, but that never stopped him from those deeply kept fantasies. By the time they were finished, he couldn't think of anything she didn't do and he in his state of exhaustion, could barely turn his head and smile at her. The room was dark and the only noise was their heavy breathing. Clary turned and snuggled into his side. He turned toward her and reached off the bed to grab the comforter that had fallen off. He pulled it over the both of them to cover them up and he snuggled back into her. He knew for the first time, she felt safe enough to be free with him and he finally felt the serenity he always thought of as "home."
