Sparkling sunbeams lightly carressed Clary's face making her toss and turn until she was able to shy away from the light and go on with her sleep. She found herself pressed against something soft and warm, and affectionately rubbed her cheek on it, releasing a small, content sigh. She threw her arm over the cosy and comfortable surface wanting to bring it closer to her. The smell dancing in the air around her was so inviting ,she couldn't stop herself from inhaling deeply until her lungs were completely filled with the most delicious scent.
Jace just laid on his back with his hands under his head, afraid to move a muscle. He was well aware of the fact that Clary was unconsciously cuddling him, squeezing him closer to her , wrapping her slim arm around him and resting her head on his chest. He felt conflicted. He did not know how to react to her sudden closeness,especially since she was most probably dreaming and had no idea what she was doing. He slowly untucked his hand from under his head and placed his arm around her, hugging her tightly. He felt her move and froze completely,ceasing even his breathing. She slid her face higher, burrying her nose in the crook of his neck and brushing it lightly against it, sending electric jolts through his body . He placed his cheek on the top of her head, breathing in her strawberry scent. It was his first time being this close to someone when it didn't involve intercourse. Usually , when the girl wanted to cuddle, he'd just slip his clothes on hastily and run for the hills. But this was his wife, there was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. So he just gave in and closed his eyes, hoping to catch some more minutes of sleep. As if he could sleep with his heart hammering incessantly.
It was almost noon when Clary finally moved again and Jace snapped his eyes open. She lazily untangled herself from him and got up in a sitting position stretching her arms widely. He watched her with sleepy eyes, not uttering a word .He admired her skin which looked soft and silky despite her runes and tiny white scars. Her curls bounced playfully on her back and she slowly raked a hand through them. She turned only her head towards him ,her lips curving into a smile."Good morning "she said. Jace got up as well, their shoulders slightly touching. She did not move away from him ,which he took as a good sign."How did you sleep?"he inquired,hoping her first night in her new home had not been totally unpleasant. That would not do well for his ego. "Very well, thank you" she replied in her crystalline voice . She found herself lost in his shining gold eyes which perfectly complemented his tousled blond hair. She wondered what it would feel like to run her hands through it and feel the silky texture tickling her fingertips,maybe even pull a little... No. She pushed the thought away. She could not let herself become enamoured with this beautiful boy in front of her. She would not become one of his victims. She could see from the way he looked at her that he expected her to fall hopelessly in love with him and worship the ground he stepped on. Instead, she was determined to switch the roles. She would make Jace Wayland fall for her , if it were the last thing she did.
She quickly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom with endearing hip movements , which she was sure would make Jace stare after her longingly. After unglueing his eyes from Clary's much too tempting bottom,Jace felt surprised to see that she had acted as if they hadn't been cuddling for the last two hours, as if his nearness had not affected her at all. Well, two could play at that game , he decided.
I'm working hard on descriptions, I'm not very good at those. Please tell me if you feel like some parts are described in a vague manner and you can't really imagine the way in which they're sitting or acting or whatever. I want to hear your thoughts. So, please, Review ! I cannot stress this enough !
I may be posting another chapter today, if I get your thoughts on this one and maybe on what you would like to happen next.
-kisses, my darlings.
