A Night in Paradise

Clary and Jace walk along the beach, they decided they should take a vacation from killing demons. So here they are, along the beach, hand in hand. Clary was laughing at one of Jace's witty, sarcastic jokes and was now leaning her head on his shoulder. Her fiery red curls blew in the wind and would sometimes tickle Jace's face, but he didn't mind. He looked down at her and smiled at her tiny figure, she was just so beautiful. Clary looks up to see him smiling at her. She blushes under his gaze as they walk along the sandy shore, hand in hand. Suddenly, Jace starts to tickle her and she squeals. She runs away, Jace chasing after her. She runs into the water, feeling the cold up to her waist. When she looks around, she can't see Jace, but then suddenly something is pulling her under the water. It was Jace. She squeals again, falling into the water then coming back up as Jace tickles her.

"You're so cute when you're like this." Jace whispers in her ear.

"Stop it!" She squeals, trying to break free from the tickle spree Jace started. He kisses her neck, then her jaw, leaving a trail of kisses. She giggles at his touch, and tilts her head back. He kisses her neck, her jaw, her cheeks, her forehead, her nose, then finally: her lips. It was a sweet kiss, slow and steady. He wraps his arms around her petite waist and she immediately responds to the kiss, placing her hands on his shoulders and kissing him back. The kiss grows more meaningful, more passionate and strong and deep. Her lips burn under the touch of his and she moans in the pleasure of the feel of his lips on hers. He smiles against her mouth, knowing she's enjoying this moment. Clary's hands are tangled up in his curly golden hair, she pulls at it and he licks her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She grants it, and he creeps his tongue into her mouth.

"Jace.." Clary breathes, pulling away from the kiss.

"Hmm?" He moans, pulling his lips back towards hers. She places her finger on his lips to stop him and giggles.

"I love you." She tells him.

"I love you, too. My Clary. My love. My one and only. You are mine. If I have to shout that out on the top of rooftops to let everyone know, I will."

"By the Angel, I love you." She rushes out then crushes her lips to his, locking him in a deep and passionate kiss. Their lips slide over each other as they kiss, they're held in a tight embrace, arms wrapped securely around one another. Clary slides her tongue into Jace's mouth and she wraps her legs around Jace's waist, wanting to be closer to him. He moans at her touch and moves his hands up and down her body. He just wanted to touch her, to kiss her and never stop. To tell her how much he loved her, yet it was impossible. There wasn't enough words in the world to describe his love for Clary. They pull away, breathless, in the still water of the ocean, just near the shore.

"I love you. Don't you ever think otherwise." He whispers in her ear. She nods, kissing him lightly once more.

"I love you, too." She says quietly once she pulls away and they go back to the shore, laying on the sand, looking up at the stars and enjoying their Night in Paradise.
