Peace of mind, warmth in heart, joyful soul is what you give me.

Outside the storm continued. Flashes of lightning lit up the dark bathroom and thunder rolled overhead, but Magnus was oblivious to it. It was all he could do just to calm the storm inside him, just barely keeping his magic in check as he focused on the man standing before him. This wasn't at all how he expected the night to go, but Alexander Lightwood had already surprised him more than once. Magnus hoped he'd never stop.

He moved backward to the center of the room, determined to let Alec take the lead. Still, he couldn't help but cup the shadowhunter's face in his hands, pulling him down to press their lips together in a searing kiss. There was so much he wanted to say; he poured it all into the kiss. Alec sighed against his mouth and pressed closer, trembling against him. Magnus could tell from the way his heart raced that it was from more than just the cold. He wrapped his arms around Alec, lips moving to press feather-light kisses up his jaw. He snapped his fingers and the numerous candles around the room came alight as the tub began to fill with hot water.

Alec chuckled even as his eyelids fluttered, head angling to allow Magnus better access. "Trying to seduce me now?"

Magnus smiled against his skin, lips ghosting over his ear. "If we're going to do this…we're going to do it right." He pulled back as his hands moved down Alec's chest to the hem of his shirt, warm fingers sneaking under to caress the cold skin. Alec lifted his arms without hesitation as Magnus pulled the damp shirt up and over his head. Alec followed suit, pushing up on the silk. Both garments fell to the floor, replaced by fingers tracing scars and runes and leaving goosebumps in their wake.

A quiet fell over them as they continued to undress each other, though when the time came to peel off Alec's wet pants they couldn't help the nervous laughter that escaped. The laughter soon died when there was nothing left and their roaming hands stilled as they took in each other's naked bodies for the first time. Wide eyes roved over tanned and pale skin, lean muscles and lithe limbs and lower still until their eyes met again, the room charged. Half hard and breathless they closed the space between them, both gasping as they made contact.

And then they were lost to nothing but the sensation of each other. They pulled and kissed and pressed and tasted, breaths mingling with moans as the steam rose around them. It wasn't until Alec shivered against him that Magnus remembered himself and he pulled away, shushing Alec's whine of protest as he pulled him towards the tub.

"First things first," he said, still catching his breath. "Getting you warmed up."

Alec raised his eyebrow. "I think we were doing just fine a second ago."

Magnus bit his lip, holding back a smile as he held his hand out to Alec. "Come on, Alexander."

Alec huffed a breath, but acquiesced as another chill went through him. Together they stepped into the scalding water and submerged themselves in lavender scented bubbles. Magnus sat with his back against the tub as Alec settled between his legs and back against his chest. Once, Alec might have thought the position awkward, but despite their height difference Magnus had a way of making him feel smaller. He let out a sigh, the hot water immediately soothing and warming him.

Magnus smiled to himself, thrilled to have Alec in his arms, reveling in the weight of him. He nudged Alec forward slightly, reaching for the shampoo and combing it through Alec's hair. To his surprise, Alec brooked no protest, only releasing tiny sighs of pleasure. Soon Alec was leaning back against his chest as Magnus ran a sponge up and down his arms and chest.

"Better?" Magnus murmured against his ear.

Alec nodded, mind hazy and utterly relaxed. "Much…this is nice."

Magnus smiled as he dipped the sponge into the water once more before sliding it up his chest. "Indeed it is." His hand stilled as Alec covered it with his own and angled his face to look at Magnus.

"I mean it Magnus," he said, his voice husky. "I never knew anything could feel this way." Alec's eyes were dark and swimming with such emotion that Magnus thought his heart would burst right out of his chest.

"I'm happy to be the one to show you." Magnus brushed his lips softly against Alec's, who brought his arm up to wrap around Magnus' head, snaking his fingers through his hair as he deepened the kiss. His tongue darting out to dance with Magnus'.

Magnus had been keeping himself in check until that point. But now, with a warm, wet, and pliant Alec in his arms his resolve crumbled. He dropped the sponge in the water as his hands slid down Alec's muscled arms and up his chest, fingers grazing over hard nipples. Alec's gasp spurned him on and he tried it again, smiling into Alec's mouth as the shadowhunter moaned again. He moved lower, nails scraping Alec's abs as Alec's whole body went taut as he pressed closer. The bubbles had long since evaporated and Magnus could see Alec's cock, hard and straining beneath the water. Urged on, Magnus went even lower, caressing the trail of coarse hair down. Alec pulled away, no longer able to hold back a loud, rasping moan as Magnus moved to nibble at his ear.

"Mag…god, Magnus…I…" Alec could barely speak, head thrown back against Magnus' shoulder, shaking with lust as Magnus' hand crept lower.

"What Alexander? What do you want? Tell me."

Alec looked at him, pupils blown wide open as he gasped and swallowed. "T-touch me. Magnus, please touch me."

How could he deny him? With a smile, Magnus captured Alec's mouth with his once more, his hand finally engulfing Alec's cock. He stroked him slowly beneath the water. Alec's head lulled back as he moaned, his fingers gripping the edge of the tub and Magnus' hair. The sight was almost more than Magnus could take, his own erection rubbing against Alec's back as the younger man pushed against it, moving with every stroke of Magnus' hand. "How's that, darling?" Magnus breathed in his ear, wanting to make sure he was doing what Alec liked.

"Magnus." was the only response, so Magnus continued, picking up the pace as his mouth ravaged Alec's neck. When Alec began to shake against him he knew he was close. "That's it, Alexander," he urged, thumb circling the head of Alec's cock clockwise and back again. "I've got you…come for me, Alexander."

Alec came with a shuddering groan, hand going slack in Magnus' hair. Magnus stroked him until he grew soft in his hand. He waved the mess away and wrapped his arms around Alec's shaking form, pressing his lips to his neck. "Are you okay?"

Alec turned his head to nuzzle Magnus' cheek, a huge grin on his face. "Mm…that was amazing. Thank you."

Magnus chuckled, kissing his cheek. "No need to thank me, Alexander."

They stayed like that for a few blissful moments before the sound of Alec's stomach grumbling interrupted the silence. They laughed and Magnus nudged Alec forward. "Come on, let's get some food in you."

Alec moved to face Magnus properly, his hand coming to rest on Magnus' thigh. "But what about you…"

Magnus shook his head as he moved to stand. "Don't worry about it, Alexan…"

But Alec was too fast and before he knew it Alec had his back against the tub and Magnus was, somehow, in Alec's lap facing him with his hand already stroking his cock. Magnus choked out a groan and Alec smirked. "You were saying?"

"Fuck Alec," Magnus moaned, gripping Alec's shoulders. He stifled an aroused chuckle. "If you insist."

Alec smiled, though his eyes were unsure as he watched his hand work over Magnus. "Is this good?"

Magnus dug his nails into Alec's back as he head fell backwards. "Oh god, yeah. Yeah yeah."

Alec grinned, his free hand gripping the back of Magnus' head and bringing it down to crush his lips against his. Magnus knew he wouldn't last long as he rocked in Alec's lap, strong fingers sending him over the edge and soon he was moaning into Alec's mouth as he came over his hand.

They held each other for a long time, heart rates slowing together as they pressed sweet, lingering kisses and caresses to each other's skin. Begrudgingly, they got out of the tub. Magnus fetched towels and they dried each other. Magnus stopping a moment just to stare at Alec, standing naked in the candlelight, feeling warm and overwhelmed. Reading his mind, Alec took the towel from him and kissed him softly before taking his hands. "Come on. Let's eat…we both deserve it."

Magnus smiled and followed him.
