Jace woke up with a splitting headache trying to adjust his sleep filled eyes to the darkness. He was met with an unrecognizable room, the only light coming from the moon visible in the opened balcony door. The wind picked up, blowing the curtains further in the room and as he made a move to cover himself from the chilly breeze only then did he notice the weight on his chest. Immediately looking down and recognizing the bright red curls of his most beloved girl, he filled up with immense relief. Clary's head lay on his shoulder burying her face in the crook of his neck with both of her hands were cradling his wounded hand on his chest. Her legs were twisted with his and the sheets were pushed to their waist showing Clary's chilled arms from the thin nightgown she was wearing.

He thought everything was a dream but it wasn't. It all really did happen, including the pain searing through his hand. He lifted it to get it in the light to see what was wrong, to be met with blood making its way through the bandage. He knew he had to change and redress his wound but he didn't want to move away from Clary's arms just yet. Seeing as the blood started to drip and not wanting to ruin her sheets he gently removed Clary from him moving her arms and untangling from her legs. She stirred from the movement but immediately settled back as Jace whispered "Shh angel go back to sleep. I'll be right back." He gently kissed her forehead and brushed away the curls on her forehead before making his way to the bathroom. The bathroom was right to the side of the bed and he turned on the light on his way in. He was met with a tray of medical supplies and instructions on the sink, concluding Clary must've called for a doctor. He removed the tape sealing the gauze and tried to hold in a groan of pain. Pale slender fingers suddenly grabbed his hand, as he hissed in pain from trying to unwrap the bandage.

"Here let me help. Why don't you sit and lay your hand here on the sink."

"It's okay. I can do it. You've already done so much." He didn't want to admit it but he was shy. Here was the girl he thought about every single day dressed in a sexy black nightgown that only reached her mid-thighs and he was freaking shy.

"Jace, it's okay. Just let me. Here since you're much taller I'll sit on the sink instead." She hoisted herself up and placed Jace's hand in her lap. The doctor taught her to redress the wound gently, and she put the newly learned skills into action. She could feel Jace's eyes boring into her and the tensed muscles in his arms. Lifting her head slowly she made eye contact with him giving him a small smile.

"Thank you," Jace breathed out. He didn't need a reply in return. The widening of her smile and twinkle in her eye was more than enough for him.

"Here. Good as new." He lifted his hand as he tried not to focus on the uncomfortable feeling of the stitches. Dropping his arm slowly, he grew serious as he turned to face her.

"Clary I'm sorry. I - can you - can we talk? Please?" He couldn't hold it in anymore. This was his chance to apologize for the huge mistake he's done, for being the biggest idiot in the world.

"I understand Jace. It's been a while. I've had time to think it over and it hurt actually it still kind of hurts but I think I get it. I understand why you did what you did and why you hid it. I was so positive I hated you for a while and I was sure I would never go back to you and this time apart has-"

"No please don't. If you're going to say this time apart proved that to you that we shouldn't be together then please don't. I don't think I can take another time of you turning me away again. I understand I hurt you so much. I was an idiot, an asshole, a jerk, the biggest one out there and I made the worst mistake I ever did in my life. I'm so sorry Clary. I'm sorry for hurting you. I just want you to know, none of that ever mattered. The business deal or my grandfather's acceptance I don't care about it all. I just care about you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and you will always be that. You're the most amazing beautiful girl I have ever met." Clary's tears were falling faster and faster now and Jace brushed away her tears. He gently cupped her face and stepped closer to her. The boost of the sink put Clary at the same height as Jace, making it easier for him to rest his forehead on hers.

"You're so beautiful Clary. You're so talented, so kind, so passionate, so humble, and so many more. You're the best woman in the world and no matter what, I love you so much. I've loved you so much, I still do, and I always will. You're it for me. I know I broke your heart and trust me I will spend the rest of my life making that up to you if you'll let me, but I also understand that you may not want me anymore. If you want me to leave just say so and I'll go without another word. If you want me to let you go Clary then I will, if that's what will make you happy I'll do it." It hurt to say the words but he knew he had to do it. He had to accept the possibility that Clary doesn't want him in her life ever again. He kissed her forehead and brushed his lips down her nose and with the slightest pressure he leaned forward ever so slightly to connect their lips together. It only lasted for a few seconds as he stepped back to gaze into her eyes.

"No don't go." She immediately reached out to his waist pulling him back closer to her. How he could think she'd be happy without him, she'd never understand.

"Don't go please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't come back right away I just couldn't. I needed some time. I know I always knew I needed you in my life to be happy I was just too scared to go back in case you didn't want me. I'm sorry for hurting you too Jace. I'm so-"

"No no angel. Shh. You don't have to apologize for anything. I'll always want you. I love more than words can ever describe. I'll love you until I die, and if there's a life after that I'll you then too." He cupped her cheeks as he brushed her tears again before kissing her lips.

Every single kiss they had is always filled with passion but ever since the year apart it seemed to have intensified. Jace moved one of his hands to cup her neck pushing her against him more as she pulled him even more against her. Jace stepped in between Clary's legs as she slid her arms up and tangled her fingers in his curls, his golden curls that she's missed so much. Jace let out a groan into her mouth as she fisted his curls in her fingers, and moved his lips down her neck. Clary craned her neck further giving more access to Jace as she let out a moan, while her hands travelled down to the hem of his shirt and pulled it off. He raised his head to let her pull his shirt off and for a second he just stared at her, questioning her with his eyes. Clary's nod seemed to trigger everything in double speed as their lips met again in a heated kiss.

He slid his palms over Clary's thighs as Clary moved forward on the sink grinding their centers together leading him to bunch up the hem of her nightgown in his fists as he let out a groan. His hands continued further to meet her lacy panties only to rip it apart in his fists. Her palms brushed over his sculpted chest and hard abs, he may have lost some weight but his body remained beautiful. She scrunched up the hem of the flannel pajama pants along with the black boxer briefs he was wearing and pushed it down as she let out another moan when he kissed his way down her chest. He immediately pulled her nightgown over her head, as he stepped out of his pants and underwear, revealing her perky breasts and he couldn't help but admire how beautiful she still remained. Jace hoisted Clary up and slowly walked out of the bathroom to lay her on the bed as they continued their kiss.

"You're so beautiful angel. I love you so much Clary," he whispered as he stared into the depths of her green eyes.

"I love you too Jace," she breathed as he entered into her molding their bodies into one. They felt complete again once they're connected together.
The room filled with pants and moans as Jace gripped her hips pushing himself into her. She wrapped her legs around him tighter as her hands gripped and scratched his broad shoulders down his smooth hard arms. Jace lifted his face from her breasts going up to her collarbone and sucking on it before doing the same with her neck. He connected their lips once again as they both climaxed right after the other, letting out their deep breaths into each other's mouths. Jace collapsed on her chest and laid there for a moment as they tried to regain their breathing. He gently rolled over taking her along with him to lay her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. She threw her legs and arms over his body as he pulled the sheets up to cover them. Placing one last kiss on her temple he whispered, "Good night Clary, I love you."

Responding with a kiss on his chest she replied with, "I love you Jace, goodnight handsome."

Together the two lovers fell into a blissful sleep as their hearts intertwined completing each other once more.

It was still early morning when Clary woke and for a second she forgot the reason why she woke from her slumber. It was then that Jace's chest heaved with heavy breaths as he let out pained whispers "No clary, please don't leave me, come back please, don't." Her heart broke at the reason for his nightmare and she urgently sat up and cradled his head against her.

"Wake up Jace. I'm right here. I'm not leaving baby," she whispered as she combed her fingers through his hair.

Jace woke with a gasp as Clary's scent filled all around him. It was the same horrific dream he always had to go through.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you," he rasped out. His breath still came in heavy pants and his throat felt dry.

"It's alright. I'm sorry Jace. This is my fault, if maybe I at least-"

"No no angel. You have nothing to apologize for okay? I'm the one doing all the apologizing." He lifted his head and sat up to pull Clary in his lap and wrap his arms around her.

"How about from now on we just stop apologizing okay?" She looked into his golden eyes as he smiled and closed their lips together. They sat there at 3 in the morning in each other's arms completely content until Clary's stomach let out its mating call.

"I suppose we can have an extremely late dinner or an early breakfast right my love?" He tilted his head down towards her to wink at her blushing face. Jace stepped out of the bed to go into the bathroom to gather their clothes. He picked up his boxers and sweatpants and slipped them on. Thinking of Clary, he grabbed her nightgown but as he felt the silky material in his fingers he remembered how sexy and irresistible she looked. Doubting how much restraint he had, he opted for the black shirt he wore and grabbed that instead.

"Oh. Is my nightdress not in there?" Clary looked at him with quizzical eyes as he handed her the shirt.

"It is. I just don't think I can handle seeing you in that again so I gave you my-" he abruptly stopped in his sentence as a thought struck him. It wasn't his shirt but Clary had dressed him in clothes meant for a man. Suddenly he tensed as he thought about the possibility that Clary had been with someone else for her to have his clothes.

"Stop Jace don't go there." She knew by the grimace and thin line of his mouth on his face what he thought. She knew he was thinking about her with another man, about wearing another man's clothes. She pulled on the shirt and stood on her knees on the bed to be on eye level with him. She gently cupped his cheeks with both of her hands and stared into his eyes deeply as she told him, "I know what you're thinking and you're wrong. There wasn't nor will there ever be another man. You're it for me. I had my secretary buy some clothes for you while the doctor checked you out considering your suit was covered in blood.

"Oh. Uhm thanks." He exhaled a breath of relief right before turning serious again when he saw the frown taking over her face. "Hey what's wrong?"

"Just don't do that again okay. You kept holding on to that shard of glass trying to cut it in as deep as you can. You were so focused on hurting yourself Jace, it scared me so much. All the blood started pouring and I-" she broke off with a sob as the lodge in her throat forbid her to keep talking.

"Shh, it's alright now. I'm sorry I wasn't thinking right. I'll take care of myself, especially now that I have you back promise." He kissed her temple before he grabbed her hand and led them out the door only to stop in the middle of the hallway.

"To the left Jace," she giggled at his extremely confused face.

"Right." He took a left as the hallway opened up to a gigantic room with the open living room the left and the open kitchen to the right. The living room was organized with white rectangular couches adorned with assorted bright colors of fluff pillows. A glass coffee table was placed in the middle in front of the mounted TV on the wall. The kitchen was plain white with concrete countertops. Four high chairs were lined up across the island bar enclosing the kitchen from the living room. "This place yours?"

"Yea. I only use it while I'm in Paris though."

"Is your fridge stocked?"

"Yes but it's okay, let's just order something. I don't want you to cook with your hand like that it'll hurt."

"Are you sure? It doesn't hurt as much anymore." That was a total lie. It still hurt immensely but he wasn't going to tell her that.

"Yea c'mon I'll call my usual place." She wrapped her arms around one of his arms before pulling him to the couch. She gently pushed him to sit before settling herself on his lap. Jace turned on the TV and browsed for a show while she talked to the 24/7 restaurant that was supposedly really good. He was actually starting to get interested in the mystery show until she started talking.

"I was afraid it wouldn't be like this. It's why I took so long to convince myself to come back. I was scared we wouldn't be the same. I've forgiven you for a while but I had this fear that the bet was the reason why we were so close and I was scared to come back and find out all the spark is gone." She didn't know why she suddenly had all the courage to say this but it was good a time as any other. She looked up at him to be met with love filled golden eyes.

"But I know better now, our love isn't just filled with sparks. It's an endless flame so bright with love and passion. I know that's so cheesy and I'm surprised you're not laughing at me but I just want to say how I feel. I thought we would have to take it slow but being here in your arms right now feels perfect. It's as if we just picked up where we left off and I couldn't be happier."

"Oh Clary, it may be cheesy but you have no idea how much you just filled me. Without you I felt like a piece of me was missing, a never ending void waiting to be filled. Now with you in my arms, I've never felt so complete. If I only knew that was the reason I would've come back for you, but I thought you didn't want anything to do with me anymore."

"That's not true, but the year apart was alright. It was good for us. I missed you terribly and my heart ached without you but it gave me time to think and realize how much I'd do anything for you. You learned to stand without me, even to stand against your grandfather."

"I suppose, but if you think I'm ever letting you go again well you're horribly mistaken."

"Psh! Like I'll let another woman have you. Besides, it'd be too much trouble to find another man and teach them how to deal with me. They'd have to learn all my favorite stuff, my mood swings, my-"

"Well then I guess it's good that'll never happen." He leaned down to kiss her just as the doorbell rang and interrupted their moment.

Jace quickly stood up with the intent to pay for the meal as he said, "Wait let me get my wallet."

"It's okay! They automatically charge my card since I order from them every time I'm here. Just get the utensils from the kitchen please."

She made her way to the door only to open it to a smiling Raphael. Frankly, she could've gone her whole life without ever seeing him again but he lived on the same floor she did. He was always so obvious in showing his attractiveness to her but the guy couldn't take a hint!

"I saw the deliveryman in the lobby and figured I'll bring it up to you instead." He didn't even try to hide it as he moved his eyes up and down her body widening at the sight of her bare legs. The shirt Jace gave her was also a v-neck and his eyes widened even further when he focused it on the deep cut of the shirt on her chest. She didn't have the biggest breasts out there and to be honest with her petite body, they leaned towards the small side but the shirt obviously still let it show more than usual. Immediately feeling self-conscious she crossed her arms over her chest as she outstretched her hand to take the food.

"Oh thanks. I appreciate it." She made a move to close the door but he spoke once again

"Wait did you want company? I'm sure you couldn't finish all that food by yourself." Was he calling her fat? Even if Jace wasn't here she wouldn't share the food with him, besides she could obviously finish it if she was really hungry.

"Uh actually-"

"Hey baby what's taking so long?" Jace made his way towards her and upon seeing the man dressed in a suit by her door it wasn't hard to figure out he wasn't the delivery man.

"Jace! Uh this is Raphael, he lives in the building. Raphael this is Jace, he's my boyfriend." She knew this wouldn't end well and she just hoped Raphael got the hint and left. It wasn't hard as he stepped up next to her protectively putting his arm around her waist to pull her to him. With Jace only wearing a pair of pants with his chest out on display and Clary wearing only an oversized shirt, it wasn't hard to determine what they were doing just a few hours ago.

Raphael seemed to be intimidated with Jace's cold stare as he stammered, "Uh it was great to meet you. I'll be going now. Goodnight Clary."

Clary immediately closed the door before he came back and immediately hugged Jace burying her face into his chest before murmuring, "You have no idea how long I've been trying to get him to leave me alone. Thank you so much for scaring him away."

He was surprised at her reaction thinking she'd be mad for him acting like a caveman so soon but knowing the guy irritated her he couldn't help but feel relieved. "Just couldn't stand the way he looked at you. Only I can do that."

"Oh really now?" she giggled as she set out the food on the coffee table.

"You're mine and I'm yours. Anyone who disagrees can go kiss my ass. It's like breaking words of the law," he stubbornly protested.

"Whoa there tiger. Just eat before the food gets cold." She couldn't help but giggle at him. Here was a 27 year old man who looked like he was having a tantrum all because another guy looked at her.

The two settled on the couch together eating comfortably in each other's arms as they watched whatever show Jace had chosen. It wasn't extravagant or anything and anyone else in their social elite circle would frown upon it but it didn't matter. They didn't care about the money or the luxurious life all they cared about was each other, with each other they'd be happier than anyone else.
