"She was over on the wall. When we portaled it takes her a moment to get her barrings." Wes offered.
Isabella asked "so you are here to train? With us?"
Thomas said "yes," was all he offered.
"If Isabelle would not mind showing them to some empty bedrooms. We could all talk tomorrow. " Hodge offered.
In the end all three ended up showing them to a hall of bedrooms to chose from. Clary went with Isabelle to get bedding for the beds leaving the boys in the hall waiting for them. Alec was looking at Thomas with a questioning stare
"So you look familiar who are you parents?" Alec asked.
"Lucien and Jocelyn Greymark?" Replied Thomas
Clary and Isabelle returned with the bedding. Clary took her brothers into their rooms. She made each of their beds and went out to the hall.
"Okay, you are both ready for bed?" She asked. " Night all." Wes said leaving everyone in the hall. Wes was not a night owl, so Clary knew he was going to bed as soon as he could.
"Can you show me to the kitchen? I am a little thirsty." Thomas asked Izzy. Izzy nodded her head. And lead him off to the kitchen. Alec followed behind like most brothers seem to do, protectively close by.
Jace was leaning against the wall. He seemed to be paying little attention to all the interaction. "And then there was two..." He said looking right at Clary.
"True." Was all Clary said, picking up her bags and taking them into her room. Jace followed watching as Clary made her bed and put her bags on a near by dresser. Clary picked a room with dark wood every where with dark blue bedding. Clary almost forgot about Jace when she turned to shut the door and was starting to unbutton her hoodie. "Wow, usually I do not have girls taking off their clothes so quickly."
Clary looked over at him in shock. "Its just my hoodie. Can I ask you a question?" Jace pulled a knife out from his back and started twisting it around. "Sure."
"Why have you been looking at me the way you have? Your curious but something else too. What is it?" She turned to pull out a handful of clothes from a bag.
Jace came across the room and sat on the dresser that Clary was unpacking her clothes into. Clary stopped to look at him, hoping he would just answer the question. "I don't know. Maybe because you wrap a whip around my chest and pulled me down some steps. When I look up I see a redhaired girl. I was stunned that you did that. Plus you know you are not bad to look at, but you know that already." Jace put his knife back up.
"Thanks and for the record I am not all that pretty." Clary knew pretty and she was a "cute" but Jace was a "gorgeous" and waaaay out of her league. Then she noticed Jace rubbing his shoulder. He must have been hurt. "Okay stand up and take your shirt off." Clary said to him taking out her stele and laying it on the dresser.
Clary walked around him to the dresser grabbed her stele and was about to put a healing rune on him, when all of a sudden she was thrown up against a wall. Jace pressed into her, his arm across her neck. He looked at her with anger. "I was just going to put a healing rune on your back. You were rubbing your shoulder and I thought you were in pain ." He did not let her go, so she wrapped her legs around his waste and began to squeeze. This tactic did get him to remove his arm from her neck but instead of moving away. Jace pushed her farther into the wall. His hands on either side of her head.
" Put it here closer to my heart." He pointed to his chest and leaned into her. Clary felt her heart beat speed up. Looked at his chest and put her stele to his skin. She finished the rune and looked up at him. Her legs were still wrapped around his waist.
Clary placed her hands on his shoulders and unwrapped her legs from him. She slid down his body but did not let go of him.
"I think you are good now." She said with s shaky voice. She went and looked for his shirt, found it on the ground, and handed to him. His eyes were looking at her searching for...something.
Jace walked to the door, and turned to Clary. "Your beautiful...but you know that." And he closed the door as he left leaving Clary totally dumbfounded.
