Clary and I had been walking around together all night. With her hand entwined in mine this night seemed absolutely perfect. She was getting tired, I could tell because her head was leaning on my shoulder, and her red curls lay in her face.
"Let's go home, " I whispered into her curls. She nodded her head in silent agreement.
It was her eighteenth birthday and I wanted nothing more than her.
We walked in the door of the institute and made our way to my room. She was shivering from the chilly night air so I pulled her into my arms and held her. She shuttered once more then the only thing moving was our chests with every breath we took.
" Thanks Jace" she said.
"For what?" I asked in a low quiet voice.
"For tonight, for everything." She mumbled into my chest, and I rested my chin on her head
. After several long seconds of just standing in each other's arms I slid my hands down her back causing her to shiver again. My hands came to a stop on the small of her back. I slowly started to pull her shirt up and as my hands made contact with her bare back I whispered to her, "what d ya say we take it a little farther tonight?"
I started moving my hands back up her back under her shirt. "Jace" she said breathlessly.
"Mmm hmmm" I hummed in her ear, and gently bit it.
She began to squirm and she put her hands on my chest and pushed me away saying, "Jace no". I looked at her with a quizzical look on my face. I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her forehead.
" Why not? " I asked, every part of me aching for her.
" Because, I, I want it to be special" she said, and pushed me away again.
" It will be Clary," I said " don't you want it?"
"I want it, " she said and looked into my eyes, " but I want to be married"
" Alright. Then I'll marry you. You know I will. I love you." I then continued my earlier actions in trying to get her.
But she said, " No Jace, I want it after. After we're married"
"Clary. Why do you want to wait?"
"Because Jace, It's what I want, Can't you respect that?"
"Clary, I want you, I want you now, and only you. Please?"
" I want you to, Jace. But not tonight"
"Come on Clary?"
" No Jace, Stop pushing me."
"I'm not pushing you I'm jus—" She cut me off.
" Just what Jace? Just what?" Her fists were balled, her voice strained, and tears began to form in her eyes. "You are pushing me, and I'm not going to put up with it. Jace you ruined a perfect night. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." She pushed past me to the door.
"Clary No.." I caught her wrist. She whirled around and hit me on the jaw.
"Goodnight Jace". She left and slammed the door behind her.
