"Oh Clary," Jace sighed, wrapping his hand around the chain connecting her ankle with the bed. "You still haven't learned, have you?" Pulling slowly, he dragged her body back to him.
"You can't escape this," he whispered. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and brought her into his arms, rocking her gently into him, "We won't ever let you go, baby."
Jace looked at her damaged face, scrapes from the stone floor were bleeding and a bruise was forming above her right eye.
"Let gets you cleaned up," he crooned as he gently laid her back on the bed.
