Chapter 2

"Clary..."

Clary could hear the voice but couldn't reach it; trying many times but could never reach it.

"Clary..."

The voice tickled her ear.

"Clary... I have coffee..."

Her eyes snapped open and she heard Jace chuckle. "What kind of coffee?" Clary asked squinting her eyes as the sun was bouncing off Jace's damp golden hair. She could smell the lemony soap wafting off his skin inches from her face. Clary took a deep breath of Jace and pulled the covers around her bare shoulders.

Jace chuckled and growled at her. "Don't do that..." He moaned straddling her waist and pulling the covers down back down to her hips. The cold air nipped at Clary's bare skin but Jace's heat was all around her; covering her in one.

He kissed, nipped and sucked at her skin, sending tingles down her spine. Clary giggled as he reached her stomach; a well known weak spot.

"What?" Jace asked. "Don't you want me to go further?" He shrugged when Clary didn't answer and placed his hands on either side of her body pushing back up.

Clary pulled at his shoulders; placing him right on top of her; chest to chest. Face to face. "I don't want you to go anywhere." He placed a small kiss on her lips. "Ever." Clary added whispering.

Jace stared at her with his golden eyes and stroked her hair. "I'm not going anywhere Clary." He kissed her so passionately on her lips that she had to grab the headboard behind her. "But..." He said pulling back. "We have training in half an hour with Alec, Issy, Simon and Magnus."

Clary groaned. "We were having a moment then you douche."

Jace smiled. "Why do we need moments when we have forever?"

Clary smiled and played with his hair. "Do we have to get up?"

Jace smiled and stroked her cheek, placing small kisses on her face and neck. "Yes, and as much as I want to just stay here and ravish you senseless; like I did last night, we can't."

Clary sighed pushing Jace off of her and plonking him next to her on the double bed and got to her feet. "Well then I guess I'll have to get a shower if we only have half an hour."

As she turned around to see Jace's face, she smiled. He was shocked and surprised. "It takes you half an hour to shower?"

Clary walked up to the door separating the bathroom and bedroom and leaned on it. "Not on my own, it doesn't."

Clary closed the door in Jace's smiling face and grinned herself. It was about one second when she heard his footsteps run to bathroom and she was in his arms under the shower head.

Clary moaned as her head hit the mat for the fourth time that day. Even though she was technically a trained shadowhunter and had the advantage of being a descendant of an angel she still struggled to beat the gang. Magnus was impossible thanks to the fact that he had hundreds of years under his belt and he never went easy on you, unless he was fighting Alec. Issy loved being able to get her whip around Clary's ankle and bringing her down smack on her face. Simon was the easiest. Even though he had vampire strength he had only been training for a year and whilst he was good he still went for the obvious kill; he says because he doesn't want to hurt Clary and Issy but Maryse and the adults wouldn't let him out until he picked up.

Right now Jace was on top of her; their faces inches apart and her hands pinned above her head. "Come on Clary. You're usually better than this."

For a while now Clary had been getting bored. Every day they had been doing this for three years. They only got Sundays off and that used to be spent trying to relax her sore muscles or now trying to get her breath back after her and Jace had done a marathon of their own.

"I know Jace; but..." Clary sighed. She couldn't tell Jace. This was his whole life before she walked in and she knew he still loved it. Maybe not as much as he loved Clary but still... After the moaning and silent treatments until Jace let her train he would be so mad. Even if after they were mad at each other they had a lot of fun.

"What?" He asked. Lessening his grip on her wrist and staring at her intently.

Clary took the opportunity; flinging herself up, landing Jace on his back and straddling his waist, kneeling on his arms to pin them down. She blocked him from lifting his head up by putting he arm across his neck unless he didn't want to breathe.

His shocked expression amused her and she giggled, "Now Jace; what's the first rule of Shadowhunting?"

He groaned and tried to get up; failing. "Let me up Clary." His eyes darted around the room to everyone else. They were staring. It all dawned on her. She had never pinned him before and if Clary thought about it she realised that she never saw anyone else pin him. She did a happy dance in her head.

"I will. Once you tell me what the answer to my question is."

He groaned. "Come on Clary... Let me up. Or I'll just do it myself."

"Alright then." She was confident that he wouldn't be able to get out of the hold she had him in and smirked.

He squeezed on her calves and Clary's muscles twitched. Making her grip on his neck lessen. He pushed up with his head; smacking her in the chest with is palm; sending Clary backwards and pinned her exactly like he had before.

"Don't ever get distracted." Coldness covered his eyes and Clary gasped.

And with that he jumped up and stormed out the room. Clary laid there for a while only just noticing that everyone was staring at her and stormed out the room after Jace.

Clary slammed the door shut and heard the shower running. She cursed and stormed over to get changed on the bed. They had only been training an hour so no sweat had formed on her body so she just got changed into jeans and was about to put her top on when Jace came out with just a towel round his waist.

Even though Clary was mad at him, his body still made her skip a beat. His toned muscled and bronzed skin made a perfect couple and the scars from demon attacks and runes got Clary the most. They were like medals to show what he'd done and to most people they would be imperfections but with Clary having her own- but not as many- she thought they made him look glorious. His hair had drops of water hanging on the gold strands and water was running down his chest. She nearly forgot that she was mad at him for storming out. Nearly.

"What the fuck was that all about?" Clary asked; her voice raised slightly.

"You ask me?" He asked his voice just as loud.

"What the hell do you mean?" Clary stumbled.

He took a step out the bathroom. "You have been off with me for months. You don't tell me everything that's going on with you. And I worry you know. At first I just thought that you were like bored of us. But then when I saw you with Alec and Issy training you would never have the spark when you fought before. That ferocity that I so loved when you started training. Are you... are you bored of the life you have?"

She knew he could see through her but Clary didn't think that it was that bad. He thought she was bored of her life. She was bored of her job. Going out and fighting demons had the adrenaline rush that she loved and still did but training wasn't fun. They did the same thing over and over again. Jace had told her it was because they had to be careful and she agreed but they were the best they could be. They had the most kills- as a group- in the whole Shadowhunting world. They were better than most adults because of their team work and co-operation and that had never changed. They worked with skill and grace but training everyday wore Clary out making her moody and tired. She wanted to have that new couple feeling where it was easy to be together and all they had to do was sit and do nothing just be together. Clary was sure that they had that; they just didn't have the time to do it.

"I'm not bored of the life I have."

"Then what the fuck is it because I sure as hell don't know." He stepped forward again so they were in reaching distance of each other. "Clary? I love you; I will always love you but you're scaring me." He cupped her face with his hand and stroked it. "Please Clary..."

She leaned into his hand and hugged him. His arms wrapped around her waist and he smelled her hair. "I... I want to have a life with you. I don't want to worry everyday that we have to train and when we get it wrong we have to start again... I want to have some time where we just have to worry about you and me. And nothing else. I don't want to worry about demons, training or parents."

She felt Jace shake and Clary looked up to see his smiling face.

"What?" Clary asked her voice cracking.

He laughed again. "That's it?" He picked her up and Clary instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.

A small tear ran down her face and Jace rubbed it along with his finger. "That's it?" She moaned. "I was scared to tell you that. Don't ask me if 'that's it?'" Clary was mad at him for that but she wasn't going to be for long. Jace wasn't mad at her for being fed up and he didn't mind like she thought he would be.

"I thought you were going to tell me you're pregnant." He smiled.

She laughed at him and kissed him on the lips "Oh by the Angel, no!"

They kissed and Jace walked over to the bed sitting and letting Clary straddle him. She ran her hands down his perfect; making him growl deep in his chest. He took her pants and bra off. They laid down on the bed, their lips still locked and eyes closed.

Jace leaned his head back into the mattress and looked at Clary. His eyes always amazed her and kept her captivated. "I love you Clary. I will always love you. Even if you stop loving me; I will still love you. I never want to see anything happen to you because without you my life would be nothing. I would be nothing. You lighten me up Clary." He kissed he passionately or gentleness gone. "I want you so bad."

She smiled softly and soothed him by stroking his strong biceps. "I'll always love you. Don't even think differently you absolute idiot."

He laughed. "I know I'm an idiot. I proved that alright."

Clary smiled; a tear dropping down her face and onto Jace's cheek. "Yeah, but you're my idiot."

He kissed her again and then flipped her over so that her back was on the mattress and he was on top. He caressed her in placing that brought shivers to Clary's skin. "Yeah. I am."

He put his knee between Clary's legs and made sure that is weight wasn't on her. "Don't ever let go of me Jace, ever."

He kissed her and she nearly lost herself. "I promise that I will never let you go."

She stroked his perfect face and smiled. "I love you." She said.

Then, with his knee, Jace pushed her legs open and she went into a complete state of bliss.
