"…So then I decided to get some new clothes, and just as I went to try them on, this super-hot guy comes into the store, right? And I was about to go over and talk to him, but—Cassidee. Cassidee, are you even listening?" Magnus frowned, crossing his arms in front of his chest indignantly. Cassidee shook her head and blinked a few times, smiling apologetically.
"Sorry, Magnus. I'm just a little… distracted."
"Would a certain egotistical demon-hunter have anything to do with your distraction?" Magnus asked knowingly, seeing the faint pink dusting on her cheeks.
"A… A little bit," Cassidee admitted.
"Speak of the egotistical demon-hunter, and the egotistical demon-hunter shall appear," Jace said, swaggering into the room with his usual confidence. He took a seat next to Cassidee, and Magnus stood.
"Well, I'll leave you kiddies to your canoodling. I don't want to see this." With a wave of glittery purple nails, Magnus left. Jace winked at his girlfriend, patted his thigh, and Cassidee crawled onto his lap.
"What's all this distraction?" Jace asked, pressing a kiss under her jawline. Cassidee tilted her head to the side to allow him better access. She shivered when she felt his teeth graze her skin lightly.
"I, uh… Um." Cassidee tried, but her brain was so muddled that she couldn't form a complete word. Jace chuckled and pulled away a bit to look her in the eyes.
"Go on," He urged. "Why so absent-minded?" He wound an arm around her waist and hugged her. "Is it because of this?" Using one hand to tilt up her chin, Jace allowed his lips to skim along hers, their skin barely touching. "How about this?"
"Jace…" Cassidee whispered, her breath tickling Jace's cheeks. His eyes were dark gold now, and Cassidee's were wide with a certain degree of fear at what Jace would do next.
"Sorry. I'll stop." He slackened his hold on her.
"Nnn—" Cassidee started to protest, leaning forward to stay close to him. She placed her lips on his, sliding her fingers through his hair. Jace kissed back, trying not to lose his self-control. His thoughts were quickly turning for the worse. He wanted more, so much more than just the calm, sweet kiss that he was locked in right now. But he knew Cassidee was perfectly content with gentle affection, and he wasn't going to push her any farther than what she was comfortable with.
When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless. Jace's mind was foggy.
"Who's… distracted… now?" Cassidee panted, a smile on her face. Jace kissed her forehead.
