Magnus gently pressed a kiss to Alec's cheek.
"I have to do this for you," Magnus said. "I've always wanted to, but now it's really time. It's just that Greater Demons never show up in this realm. When I learned the truth about who my father I was, I was so angry at him. He's the reason why everything is wrong with my life. Okay, most of it was my fault, but he started it! And now, not being able to express my love for you in the way I want to is horrible. And for that, he deserves to die more than any demon has done before. At least, in my eyes."
If you handed Magnus a sword right now, he would stab it at something. Maybe the wall, maybe the bed, but not Alec.
"Okay, good thing we have an entrance to the City of Bones right here in New York," Alec said. "Do you think you could contact your friend from the Silent Brothers? Brother Zachariah? How do you know him anyway?"
"Long story," Magnus explained. "The paraphrased version is: He was about to die, and I sat with him on his deathbed, and then he turned into a Silent Brother. I'll tell you the full story later." Her got up and grabbed Alec's hand, pulling him up with him. "Now, let's go and kill a demon!"
"You know that's basically my day job," Alec pointed out. "But, okay!"
They made it to the Bone City after a very stressful taxi ride that lasted twice as long as it should. Especially since the cabbie knew Alec as "the one whose friend bosses me around and I kick out." But the entire time, though Alec said nothing, he had hold of Magnus's hand. Alec didn't let go, and gently stroked his callused thumb along Magnus's palm, almost as if saying, things are going to be okay.
Magnus knew Brother Zachariah well enough to assume that he if showed up close enough to the City of Bones, the wards would detect him and he's show up to see what was up. Hopefully. If this plan didn't work, they were screwed for the time being.
"Why did you think was going to work, Magnus?" Alec asked.
"No idea, but it's the best idea I've got," Magnus responded. "Better than me strolling in there and being locked up in a cell again."
Alec leaned his head on Magnus's shoulder. Magnus loved that Alec was just an inch shorter than him, just enough so he could do this when they were standing side-by-side. It was just one of the little things he loved about Alexander. Magnus wrapped his arm around Alec's waist, just enjoying this moment of the two of them. He had a feeling he'd look back on this scene in a hundred years and smile of what he once had.
"Magnus," Alec whispered. "Magnus, I love you. By the Angel, I want you."
"I know," Magnus whispered back. Magnus used the hand on Alec's back to spin him around so he was staring into his blue eyes. Alec sighed and rested his forehead against Magnus's.
Alec gently pressed his lips to Magnus's. Magnus just relaxed into the kiss, enjoying the feeling of Alec's lips against his. Alec's hands slid up Magnus's chest and curled his hands around his shoulders. God, did Magnus love kissing Alec.
Alec gently began to kiss Magnus's jawline, then down his neck, slowly advancing to his chest. Magnus gasped slightly as Alec began to unzip the leather jacket he was wearing.
"Alexander," Magnus whispered. "You know we can't."
"Well, is there anything we can do without taking any clothes off?" Alec whispered, gently massaging Magnus's neck. "Tell me."
Magnus didn't know if Asmodeus would be angry with what he was about to, but standing here, with Alec's erection pressing into his leg, he wasn't going to restrain himself.
"There is," Magnus said, a slight smile creeping up his face. "Let me show you."
Alec gasped as Magnus reached down to cup his erection. Magnus could feel Alec grow harder his touch.
"Oh, Magnus," Alec murmured. "That feels so good."
"I knew you'd like it," Magnus said. He began to gently stroke Alec through his clothes. "Oh, Alexander, you're so deliciously hard."
"I wish I could take my clothes off so you could feel me," Alec whispered. "And so I could feel you too. But I'm already feeling you now."
"You're right," Magnus said, looking down at his own growing erection. Magnus took his hands off Alec for a second, then moved them to pull Alec even closer to him.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Alec asked.
Magnus began to grind his hips against Alec's. Alec laughed for a second, and Magnus realized he rarely ever saw Alec this happy.
"You like this?" Magnus asked in a low voice.
"I love this," Alec whispered. "I love you." He thust his hips forward, slamming into Magnus. "By the Angel, I love you, Magnus Bane."
Magnus laid his hands on the top of Alec's hips, moving him even closer if that was possible. He was feeling sweaty, and aroused, and knew he was going to come soon. Alec was teetering close to climax, especially as he leaned in and kissed Magnus, his hands moving him and Magnus closer.
"Magnus," Alec whispered. "Oh, Magnus, I feel a wonderful feeling rising up inside me. I feel like the pleasure is a bubble that's just about to burst."
"Me too," Magnus replied. "And you're gonna love it when it does."
Alec rolled his hips forward one last time, and the both of them climaxed instantaneously. Magnus heard Alec's moans of pleasure, and by the way they sounded, Magnus knew this was Alec's first orgasm. And maybe it was the orgasm Magnus was having, or his love for Alec, but it filled him with a warm fuzzy feeling.
"I love more than words, Magnus Bane," Alec whispered, slumping against Magnus's chest. "I don't know what just happened, but it was absolutely amazing."
"That was an orgasm," Magnus explained. "You've never had one?"
"I've never felt anything like that, so no. But I want to do that sometime again."
"Once we deal with Asmodeus, we can have sex, and you're gonna feel that again," Magnus promised.
And that's when Brother Zachariah decided to show up.
I wasn't interrupting or anything, was I? the Silent Brother asked.
"Nope, we just finished," Magnus said, moving away from Alec slightly. "Look, I came here because I'm trying to find Asmodeus. Have you been having problems with him too?"
Yes. We know where he's getting in. We just can't follow him there, because the demonic energy would cause some bad things to happen to us. But you two can go in there and kill him for us.
"Good," Alec said. "I'm no longer horny, but I still want to kill him."
Follow me. Brother Zachariah said, and turned around, walking back into the Silent City.
Magnus and Alec followed him into the city, but they didn't have to go far. They immediately turned into a small side passage, and there was a door at the end of it.
The demons lie behind it. Are you ready to face it?
"Yes," Magnus and Alec said in unison. If anything they had gotten a lot closer because of that moment they'd shared.
Then proceed.
Magnus stepped forward and opened the door, holding Alec's hand with his other hand. They walked through the door in unison, and smiled when they got to the other side.
They were in.
Sorry about the brevity of the last chapter, and my break with this story. I'd been busy and have had writer's block. I'm trying to update this at least once every few days. Hope you're enjoying it! Thanks for sticking with me so far.
