Alec watched Magnus go over to the drink bar in his office to make them drinks, both of them needing something to do with their hands after the intensity of the moment down stairs. The couch had some papers piled up next to a laptop, so Alec picked them up and briefly looked at them. Then did a double take.
"Magnus." Alec's voice came out frosty, he couldn't help it.
Magnus hummed acknowledging Alec but not turning, fully absorbed in mixing the drinks.
"What in the hell is this?" He snapped to get Magnus' attention, then clenched his jaw in an effort to keep from yelling.
Magnus turned from his drinks with wide eyes and some hesitancy. "Um, what is what?"
Alec waved the papers. "The report from your security system that shows your apartment was broken into." Alec all but growled as he slapped his hand against the table.
"To be fair," Magnus said, "it doesn't actually have anything to do with...any of this." he waved his hand around the office.
"And you know that how?"
"It's happened before." Magnus said with shrug. "Nothing was taken."
"Did you report it?" Alec snapped.
"I promise there's nothing to worry about." Magnus said placatingly, holding his hands out in a soothing gesture. Alec noted he didn't actually answer the question.
Alec paced going over the reports. "Magnus there were signs of forced entry." Alec shook the papers.
Magnus rolled his eyes, "Camille is the larger concern…"
Alec cut him off. "Fuck Camille. You could have walked in on them breaking into your place. Your actual life could be in danger, and you didn't bother to tell anyone!" Alec shoved a hand through his hair. He drew in a deep breath, struggling for his control. Squeezing his hands into fists and then rubbing the space between his thumb and forefinger trying to create enough pressure in his hands to release the anger inside of him.
"Alec, it's on record, but it's not that serious." Magnus said calmly.
Alec put his hands on his hips and glowered. "How do you know that if you didn't report it. And before you say you did, you know damn well Jace would have told me if you had."
Magnus sighed and came closer to Alec. "There's really no point in reporting it."
Alec stood there frozen, the sound of the club emptying out could still be heard outside the big glass window in the office. The bright club lights would occasionally flash across Magnus' face. "What?" He finally said through his clenched jaw, unable to form a coherent response to what he was hearing.
"Seriously, I promise if there were a need I would have filed a report. It's not that big of a deal."
There was another long moment of silence, then Alec stepped forward so he towered over Magnus. "Monday morning you will be reporting it." Alec commanded, leaving absolutely no room for argument. Magnus' eyes went wide.
"You're mad." Magnus put his hand on Alec's chest with a kind of patting motion, and Alec just glowered. "I mean seriously mad." Magnus said quietly, the blue lights from the club illuminating his face as he looked up at Alec.
Alec walked forward until Magnus started to back up, he kept going until Magnus ran into his desk. "I'm fucking furious with you right now. So I have two choices," he shifted his voice to a more conversational tone. "I can either murder you, or I can kiss you. Dealer's choice." Alec said as he placed his hands on Magnus' desk bracketing him in.
Magnus threw his head back and laughed completely startled, then a wicked grin lit up his face and Alec was briefly mesmerized by just how gorgeous he was. "Why Mr. Lightwood, I would think a man such as yourself would be able to control himself." Magnus said teasingly.
Alec licked his lips and watched Magnus follow the movement, "You really shouldn't have worn all this red then."
"There is nothing….uummph."
The rest of his response was smothered by Alec's mouth. Magnus went very still, and Alec used that to gather Magnus closer to him. He'd thought about this more than once as long as he'd known Magnus, and he was struggling to adjust his expectations with reality. He'd never really thought this could happen, yet here he was wrapped around Magnus Bane and it was the most amazing thing he'd ever felt.
Magnus' lips were soft and tasted like vanilla, Alec could taste the drink Magnus had earlier and something else….something spicy. Alec raised his hand and wrapped it around the back of Magnus' neck and gripped tightly, tilting his head back while he very deliberately deepened the kiss. Magnus' lithe body melted into him and accepted the invasion. His tongue in Magnus mouth, and the vanilla spice taste of him made Alec's knees weak.
He shifted his arms around Magnus, creating more pressure between them, vaguely he was aware that nothing in his life had ever felt this good, or as comfortable. Should he have been comfortable? Hell the last word he'd use to describe Magnus was comfortable, but his body fit so perfectly against Alec that all the tension he'd felt earlier drifted away.
The Club lights flashed brightly and Alec pulled back just a little, long enough to see Magnus heavy lidded eyes; then he kissed him again, more deep hungry kisses. He wanted to devour every single bit of Magnus he could get his hands on. A part of him could barely believe he was standing here in Magnus' club kissing the hell out of him. Alec slipped the hand on the back of Magnus neck down to the open collar of his shirt and stroked his fingers across Magnus' collar bone. Magnus retaliated by slipping his hands under Alec's shirt and stroking the muscles of his back. Alec was almost dizzy from the sensations.
He pulled back, lifting his mouth and gasping for breath. Magnus clung to him, a sad kitten look on his face, and Alec dipped down for one more close mouthed kiss. Alec pulled back again, and Magnus' put his palms on Alec's face. "Alexander Gideon Lightwood," He murmured, "I really wanna get naked with you."
Less than 24 hours ago, Alec would have told him in no uncertain terms that he could fuck off. 20 minutes ago he'd had no idea he was addicted to the taste of Magnus Bane. "This is not how this was supposed to go." He said, a little distractedly. No wonder Magnus had a string of lovers that could wind around the block...twice. The thought of that put a fire in Alec's belly and he tightened his hold on Magnus.
"Darling I thought it went spectacularly."
"This is ridiculous."
"But hot as hell."
"Magnus, you are not my type at all, and I'm hardly your type either."
"Well thank god for that, we'd never survive otherwise." Magnus lifted up and came in for another kiss, one that had Alec straining to get Magnus as close as possible. He wrapped his arms around him and felt Magnus' hands glide down and grip his ass. The sensation splintered through him, making him moan in Magnus' ear. He pulled back from the kiss and put his hands on Magnus' chest. Damn, he was firm, Alec knew that objectively he knew that Magnus was in shape, but god he wanted to lift the red shirt off of him and get his hands….
Every inch of him was in agony, he took a step back, putting some distance between them. Suddenly deprived of Magnus' heat, the office turned cold. "You…" He pointed at Magnus and then ran a hand across his face, "are ruining my plans."
Magnus licked his lips. "Is that right darling." Magnus followed him and tilted his head to the side kissing the side of Alec's neck. Little biting kisses to his jaw, as if he just needed another taste. He kept his hands to himself, and Alec had to stop himself from jerking him closer.
"I want a man."
"I'm most definitely a man." Magnus said as he let his tongue brush against Alec's skin. "What's wrong with me?"
Alec's neck was weak, it had always been a sensitive spot. "God Magnus, I mean a relationship, I want one of those."
"I'm single."
Alec snapped out, "I want to get married, move in together, and…" he cut off as Magnus jerked back.
"Husband hunting huh."
Alec glared. "Yes, and you're getting in my way."
"Oh Angel…" Magnus said with a smile.
"You don't have to say anything. I just don't think this is the smartest idea since we have different expectations." Alec said responsibly.
Magnus rolled his eyes, but stepped back another step. "Well nothing says we have to decide the rest of our lives tonight."
Alec looked away and his eyes fell on the papers by the couch again. "I was dead serious about reporting the break in. Monday. I mean it."
Magnus smiled at him, "As you command Mr. Lightwood. Now c'mon. Lets get you out of here before you turn into a pumpkin and I try to kiss you again." With his hand at Alec's back he led him toward the door.
"Oh what time should I be at Jace's tomorrow?" Alec asked with a slight turn of his head.
"Two should be fine." Magnus said, and Alec could smell sandalwood and vanilla. His heart skipped a beat and he licked his lips, and his body went tight leaning further back into Magnus' hand.
"Alexander" Magnus said with warning. And Alec pushed himself forward. He was about to turn, when Magnus said with a harsh growl "Go!", and with a slight push. Alec went. The door shut softly behind him and he headed down the stairs with a sigh.
8∞8∞8∞8∞8∞8∞8∞8∞8∞8Alec woke up the next morning and got dressed. He had awhile before he had to be ready for the party that afternoon, so he made his coffee and opened his work laptop. It was time to start reviewing what the FBI had on Camille.
Hours later, two cups of coffee, an entire pad of notes and a righteous anger fueling him, Alec knew he shouldn't wait until Monday to sort out what the hell was going on at the club. His fellow agents had a hell of a lot of information, but no hard proof. They wouldn't be able to get it either if something didn't change. Sex trafficking made him sick to his stomach, the embezzlement was shitty, but if she was really part of the buying and selling of people he wanted to nail her to the wall. He briefly felt bad for Magnus, but he'd never like Camille she'd always rubbed him the wrong way.
Thoughts drifting to Magnus, Alec looked at the clock and cursed. He showered and was standing in front of his dresser towel drying when he opened his drawer to grab boxers when his hand brushed against some of the underwear he'd bought with Magnus. Shaking his head at his own hesitation, he jerked a pair out and put them on. They were soft. Softer than anything he'd ever owned, a little tighter than he was used to, but nothing was really that different.
Until he turned.
Seeing himself in the mirror made his eyes go wide, his breath panted out and he crossed his arms over his chest defensively. They looked…..he looked...they made him feel...Alec ran a hand through his wet hair. Damn if Lydia hadn't been right, he felt sexy. In a way that he never did. Was this how Magnus felt all the time with his make-up, bright colors, and his style. Did he just walk around feeling like this every day? Alec quickly turned so he couldn't see himself and pulled on his pants. Jerking a shirt over his head, he turned back to the mirror and it was like now that he knew he had the black silk panties on he couldn't get it out of his head.
Backing out of his room he shook his head at his own ridiculousness and grabbed his stuff to head over to Jace's. As soon as he was through the door, Jace had an arm around his shoulder and a beer in his hand. "Man, I'm glad to see you!"
Well he'd had more than a few already Alec thought amused. "You too buddy."
Jace leaned into his ear, "Man, I was gonna tell you later but I can't not tell you now...I'm gonna ask Clary to marry me."
Alec went very still, then he turned them both and shoved Jace into his old room. "When?" He asked excitedly.
"I got most of it set up with Isabelle yesterday. But I'm asking her Sunday."
Alec threw his arms around Jace. "Congratulations! I'm happy for you man."
"She still has to say yes." Jace said a little worriedly.
Alec rolled his eyes, "No worries you idiot, she's put up with you this long, I think you're good." Alec and Jace went back out and joined the party. He saw Magnus several times, before he actually found Izzy and congratulated her on her promotion. Letting others drag his sister away, Alec quickly got bored. He sat on the loveseat drinking his beer and settled back. No one would actually mind if he took a nap. Before he could actually drift a warm body dropped onto him and snuggled up to his side. Alec didn't have to open his eyes to know it was Magnus, he smelled him.
"What are you doing over here?" Magnus whispered in his ear.
Alec knew what he was doing. He wasn't an idiot. "I was about to take a nap." Magnus waved to several people they knew, and Alec saw Izzy and Clary giggling in the corning watching them.
"Magnus.."Alec said lowly, his patience on a fine tether. Magnus' all but draped across someone wouldn't usually be that noteworthy, but it was Alec he was draped across. Alec could feel everyone staring at them. Knowing that Magnus wanted him just as much as he wanted Magnus was one thing; declaring it seriously in front of their friends and family that there was something there was an entirely different thing.
Magnus turned his face so that he was staring at him contemplatively. They hadn't done more than kissing and light petting the night before, but Alec could still feel the burn of Magnus touch on his skin.
Magnus sighed and started speaking softly. "Alec I know what you said and I hear you, but this is going to happen. I think we both see that." He took a deep fortifying breath. "I won't make you think for a second you're something for me to hide, and I won't be something you consider shameful." Magnus was running his finger along Alec's neck as he spoke his brow creased with worry. "Nothing has to come of it, but I wasn't about to start out in the shadows."
Alec really needed to find out just what the hell had happened with Camille. Clary had given him the highlights, but Magnus wasn't doing this out of a moral obligation. He was protecting himself. Whatever the hell she'd done, Magnus was carrying the scars from it. "Okay. You're right. I wish you'd talked to me about it first, but I'm relieved you don't want to hide this or me if anything happens." Ignoring Magnus' soft smile, Alec slid his arm across the back of the couch and shifted Magnus so that he was settled against him a little more comfortably.
Magnus kept sneaking glances at him, almost as if he couldn't help it. He'd dressed himself to the literal nines for this party. He was mostly in black: Pants, boots, tank top, but the purple velvet jacket made him look like his normal wicked self. He had on several layers of necklaces, and winged purple eyeshadow. Alec was stealing his own glances. He'd been around Magnus for years, so he'd been stealing glances for years, and having him this close was a little overwhelming.
All he had to do was sit there and Alec was seduced. Magnus put his hand on Alec's leg as he turned to answer a question from a party guest. He moved his hand and the backs of his fingers subtly rubbed against Alec's thigh. Alec swallowed. He had no idea he was that sensitive. Magnus wasn't doing much, just lightly rubbing against him, but he didn't really have to. Alec was helping him along by continuously reminding himself of the night before.
A part of Alec thought he was blowing it out of proportion. It was just because he'd been thinking about if for so long, there was no way the kisses had been that good. They'd just gone a little overboard. It was so new. It wouldn't be like that next time, he tried to convince himself. Several more people stopped by and Alec watched the guest begin to trickle out. Alec stood and Magnus rose behind him, they both headed towards the kitchen. Several people stopped Magnus to compliment him on the party and make small talk. Alec stayed by his side, and knew he was reinforcing the subtle (or not so subtle) declaration from Magnus that they were together.
"Let's get out of here." Magnus whispered in his ear after shaking one more guys hand. Alec followed Magnus out of the apartment and into the chilly air of New York. He breathed out and watched his breath puff up in a cloud. Magnus shoved his hands in his pocket and pulled out his phone. "Did you drive?"
"Nah took a cab."
Magnus smiled, "Come on, follow me." He pulled Alec in the direction of his car.
"Where are we going?" Alec asked confused.
"Your place."
Alec's heart jumped. "I'm meeting Jace and Izzy for dinner later."
"Cancel. You've got things to do."
"And is one of those things you?" Alec didn't even try to hide his exasperation with Magnus' pushiness.
Magnus shot him a cheeky grin, "That's the idea."
"Magnus I was serious about a relationship, I don't want an affair."
Magnus stopped and looked up at Alec, "So until you find what you're looking for, have an affair with me. I'm normal, nothing super kinky unless you're into it, and I won't embarrass you in front of your family." He shrugged.
Alec hesitated and Magnus took his hand, "C'mon, let me show you."
Alec relented and let Magnus pull him to his car. Alec couldn't help but feel like he was backsliding into old Alec. One night stands and nothing to show for it. Alec shot off a quick text to Jace and his brother sent back a string of emojis that Alec didn't even bother to look at. Knowing his brother it would be a series of peaches and eggplants. Magnus pulled into Alec's drive way, and they walked into the house.
"Are you hungry?" Magnus asked.
Alec shook his head.
"Good," he said, and then he reached for Alec's jacket and pushed it to the floor.
Alec had almost convinced himself he'd overreacted the night before, until Magnus' mouth was on him again. What an idiot he thought as he wrapped his arms around Magnus pulling him closer. Alec felt fire flow through him, and he got hard almost instantly, his knees weak. Oh god, he felt so good. Alec's body was throbbing from the contact, and Magnus very clever hands were shedding their clothes while Alec was lost in the sensation of touch. Totally pliable, he moved exactly where Magnus wanted him.
This was passion, it was desire and heat. Alec hadn't ever felt anything like it before. Desperation maybe, but nothing to match what Magnus kindled inside of him. Alec moaned when Magnus nipped at his neck, sucking marks and soothing them in turn, scraping the tendons with his teeth and sucking marks into Alec's sensitive skin. Alec got with the program and pushed Magnus' jacket off of his shoulders, his hands following the path and caressing the dips and curves of Magnus' arms. Magnus pushed Alec's shirt up and over his head, and Alec brought his mouth down for another kiss. Gasping with pleasure as Magnus stroked his hands down his back.
Alec was desperate to have them skin to skin so he jerked back and pulled at Magnus' tank top. Magnus grinned at him and whipped it over his head, throwing his arms around Alec's neck and pressing their chests together.
"You feel fucking amazing." Magnus whispered wetly in his ear, biting his lobe and causing Alec to shiver.
"So do you." Alec pushed his hands inside Magnus pants, gripping his ass and making sure not one inch of space was between them. Magnus wasn't wearing underwear, which reminded him that he was. Alec bit Magnus shoulder and followed the bite with a lick, Magnus moaned in his ear and Alec grinned.
"Bedroom. Now." Magnus growled in his ear.
"No." Alec said fiercely and dropped to his knees in front of Magnus looking up at his wide eyes with a determined glint. "I want you here."
Magnus arched his brow and cupped Alec's cheek affectionately. "Whatever you want Angel."
Alec didn't waste another breath, he unbuttoned Magnus' pants and pulled them down just far enough to pull Magnus out and get his hands on him. He was thick, thick and so hard. Magnus had a condom unwrapped and over his length before Alec could blink, then his hands were stroking through Alec's hair soothingly. Alec put everything out of his mind and sank into the pleasure of giving Magnus pleasure. He used his hands and his mouth to make Magnus tremble.
He had nothing to brace himself against but Alec's shoulders, so Magnus was half bent clinging to Alec when Alec swallowed him whole. Magnus let out a shout and thrust inside Alec's mouth nearly choking him, but experience had him hold Magnus steady as he got control of himself.
It got sloppy quick and Alec had Magnus dick coated enough that he could use the general mess of it to assist with jacking Magnus at the base. His own dick was pressing hard against his underwear and he pressed a hand against it to apply pressure. He moved over Magnus, his head bobbing up and down, taking breaths on the back stroke. Licking and kissing the head gave him a chance to watch Magnus glazed over eyes, and pleasure slackened face. God he was beautiful. Alec swiped a tongue over Magnus balls and grinned when he raised his hands again to clench fist fulls of Alec's hair.
Magnus started making increasingly more desperate sounds as Alec applied himself more thoroughly, gasping when Alec would hit just the right spot. His fists tightened in Alec's hair causing him to moan with pleasure, and just like that Magnus was trying to pull back, but Alec wouldn't let him. "C'mon Alexander, I'm close."
"I know." He said, "I want it."
"I want you…" Alec cut him off. "Later." And that was apparently all Magnus needed. Magnus' stomach started to flex, his body going taught, and Alec gently stroked him through his release with his hands and his tongue, as Magnus collapsed around him Alec grinned a happy little grin. Alec slowly lowered him to the floor and they wrapped themselves around one another. They couldn't seem to do anything but cling to one another as the tremors of Magnus orgasm settled down. Magic thought Alec, that's what Magnus had felt like. Pure magic under his hands.
"Bedroom now?" Magnus asked softly from where he was snuggled against Alec causing him to chuckle and say "yeah" quietly into Magnus' hair.
