Yay! Another chapter! Here is a minor lemon for my readers who are putting up with my sporadic posts. I loved writing this lemon and I promise to add some more in the future. This chapter is somewhat important, but it is also partially a filler. Sorry!

Simon swore as he tried to slip through Jace's window. It was easy enough sliding his body through the window, but just as he was home free, his foot got caught on the sill. Of course, his cursing was loud enough to wake the dead and with his luck, Jace both woke up and grabbed a baseball bat. Eyeing the bat, Simon slowly got up and raised his hands, making sure not to startle Jace. A familiar flash of red hair moved behind Jace and Simon's jaw nearly dropped.
"Clary?" Frightened green eyes stared at him and recognition dawned on Jace's face. To Simon's relief, Jace put the bat away and wrapped a protective arm around Clary. She immediately leaned into his embrace and reached over to turn on the lamp. It was a simple gesture but one associated with familiarity and comfort.
A growl interrupted Simon's thoughts and he returned to the matter at hand. "Lewis you have a minute to explain why you woke us up before I pummel you with my bat."
"I came here because I wanted to talk to you about Clary and yesterday, but I guess that what I was going to say is useless now." Jace paused and tilted his head in confusion.
"Wait, you aren't going to demand an apology or something? I clocked you pretty hard and I can see your bruised jaw in this light." Simon humorlessly chuckled and rubbed his sore jaw. It looked worse than it felt but he would have done the same thing in Jace's situation. Granted, he would have only managed an attempt, but the principle still applies.
"Nah, I figured it out. Remember, I have known you guys for years now. Admittedly, I didn't expect to see you guys in bed together, but that's something I will just force myself to repress with a nice long anime marathon. By the way Clary, want to come over my house after school?" Simon saw Jace's arm tense at the end but Clary accepted. She still looked like she was in shock over the whole thing and was probably a little curious about what they were going to talk about.
"Alright, I am going to go out your door because I don't want to break a bone trying to climb down your tree." Simon's hand had just closed around the doorknob when Jace called him.
"If you go anywhere near my sister's room, I will make sure you won't be able to see for a week." Of course Jace would threaten him, but at least there was a playful undercurrent to it. He hoped.
~o.O.o~
After Simon left, Jace shifted so that he was sitting up against the headboard and pulled Clary onto his lap. For a few moments, she rested her head against his chest and listened to the sound of him breathing. "Jace, are we together? I mean, are we a couple?" His hand gently stroked her hair, reveling in the fact that it was loose and therefore didn't have any pointy obstacles in the way.
"Well, I care deeply for your Clary. I really want us to be together, that is, if you are okay with that?" Great Jace, way to make yourself sound desperate.
Silence permeated the room and Jace stopped stroking Clary's hair, panic setting into his body. Clary twisted in his arms so that she was straddling him, and Jace had to bite back a groan at the change. Her warm body was directly over him and the fact that she didn't know what she was doing made it even more tempting. God, the things he could do to her in this position.
Clary's cheeks reddened, and whispered that she wanted to be with him before she pressed her soft lips against his lips. He immediately recovered from the shock and returned the kiss with more force. She didn't object and instead, wound her fingers into his hair. Her fingers lightly tugged on his curls and Jace couldn't help but groan aloud. Normally, he hated it when girls tugged on his hair because it always got caught on their ridiculous looking nails but with Clary's deft fingers, it felt amazing. The sound seemed to encourage her and she pressed herself even closer to him.
At this point, Jace was leaning forward causing their chests to tightly press together. The friction, even with clothes on, frayed at his self control and when a breathless Clary pulled away, he couldn't let go. He moved his lips down the side of her neck, searching for the most sensitive spots. Her neck turned out to be pretty sensitive and he soon had Clary gasping from his touch. When he kissed the junction between her neck and shoulder, she let out a soft moan, the first one he ever caused.
Smiling like a Cheshire Cat, Jace returned to that spot. Slowly, he used the tip of his tongue to trace around the spot. He felt her shiver and twist her neck to the side, allowing him greater access. He refused to comply and decided to thoroughly abuse that spot before he continued his exploration. Taking care not to leave a mark, he began to alternate between rough kisses, light touches with his tongue, and the slight pressure of his teeth nibbling her. It worked; her moans grew in intensity and her body began to writhe against his, restless for something only he could provide.
Pulling back, Jace brushed the curls away from Clary's face and smirked. Her face was flushed and her chest was breathing heavily. Up and down. I wonder what they would look like without a shirt or bra holding them back. A light smack brought him back to reality and Jace noticed with amusement that Clary's face had turned an even darker shade of red. He flashed her a cocky grin and couldn't resist teasing her.
"What? I was merely enjoying the sight of seeing you breathless. You know, I never realized how much you liked-" Jace couldn't finish his statement. While he was talking, Clary had started to fidget and accidentally ground herself into him.
"Jace? Is something wrong?" He let out an incredulous laugh at the way her face scrunched up in confusion.
"You can't be serious. Wow, way to kill a man's ego Clare." Gripping her hips, Jace pulled her tightly against him and rolled himself directly between her legs, carefully watching her expression. She closed her eyes and let out a breathy gasp that made Jace tighten his grip on her hips. Embarrassment overcame the pleasure and Clary buried her burning face in his neck. Jace pressed a soft kiss to her head and rubbed her back. Reluctantly, he leaned her back so that he could see her face.
"Do you want to go back to sleep? We still have a few hours before you need to head back." Clary nodded and pushed him so that he was lying behind her, with an arm wrapped around her waist. Just before Clary fell asleep, an odd thought came to her.
"Jace, what did you mean by 'way to kill a man's ego'?" Jace chuckled but chose not to respond since Clary had already fallen asleep.
~o.O.o~
Clary whipped her head around, confused. She was sitting on Jace's bed, dressed in lacy lingerie that revealed too much skin. Tugging the dress down, Clary heard a husky chuckle, right by her ear.
"I happen to like seeing your legs like this, but go ahead and keep pulling that dress down; I'm getting an excellent view of your chest." Clary was about to turn around and yell at Jace for staring at her when she found that she could not move. Her body reacted against her orders and chuckled, leaning back against Jace's naked chest. She could feel him grinning and bit her lip when his hands wrapped around her front, cupping her breasts.
One hand began to massage her, while the other used its thumb to torture her nipples. They both grew hard under his touch and Clary found her body arching her neck to the side, silently begging him to kiss her. Despite her objections and lack of control, she could feel everything her body felt; indignation was battling against the lust and Clary was afraid of which one would win.
"You know, I am feeling very-" Jace squeezed both of her nipples. "generous right now. All you have to do is say my name baby. Say it and I will make sure you spend tomorrow trying to figure out how to walk." Mentally, Clary widened her eyes. In that brief moment, her lust overtook her indignation and Clary found herself back in charge of her body. Jace must not have been aware of it and continued exploring her chest. Breathily, she whispered his name.
Jace used his tongue to trace the curl of her ear. "Louder." Clary felt her heart skip a beat and felt her eyes flutter shut. She repeated his name a little bit louder. He growled in disatisfaction and proceeded to bite her neck. "I said louder." Clary moaned out his name and felt the moisture between her legs increase.
Slowly, he pulled his hands away and slid the straps of her nightgown off her shoulders. it pooled around her hips and Jace allowed one hand to return to her chest. The rough callouses of his hand on her chest nearly made her lose it. It was an incredible contrast of rough on smooth, golden skin against her pale white. As she marvelled over the contrast, Jace slid his hand between her legs. He took a deep breath when he felt the warmth radiating from her and the moisture rapidly coating his fingers.
"By the angel Clary. Wake up. Wake up."
Clary woke up to see Jace shaking her shoulders. Startled, Clary let her hand fly out and nearly managed to smack him in the face before he caught it. Smirking, Jace pinned her arms over her head and leaned right over her face.
"Is that the thanks I get for waking you up on time? We forgot to set the alarm last night but thankfully, I'm too used to waking up at this hour. But never mind that. I am more interested in what you were dreaming about. Based on the fact that you kept moaning my name, I would say it was a very good dream. Please, describe it in great detail."
Clary felt her face flush an impossibly dark shade of red. She was moaning in her sleep? Shaking her head, she brushed him off and sat up, making sure her back was turned towards him. Just as she was about to get up, Jace tugged her down and wrapped his arms around her waist. The similarities between now and her dream were too much to handle. Clary found her body beginning to heat and her breath rapidly increasing.
"How do you want to go about this? Rat boy saw us in bed last night, Izzy and Magnus definitely suspect something, and if they suspect something, then eventually Jon will catch on. Do you still want to keep this a secret?"
Clary turned around, the heat and desire from yesterday momentarily forgotten. "Our friends deserve to know, but I'm afraid about when we tell Jon. He barely tolerated it when I dated Simon, and that was only because he thinks of Simon as a harmless fly. You on the other hand, you can basically look at a girl and get her to give you her panties." Jace chuckled and tried giving her "the look", but it failed under her glare. "Jonathan also thinks of you like a brother, so I'm not sure how he will react."
Sighing, Jace rubbed the back of his neck. "You're right. We never really talked about it, but I am pretty sure he will at least let me go on a date with you."
"How are you so sure?" Clary tilted her head in confusion.
Chuckling, Jace kissed the furrow between her eyebrows. "Remember that party a few months ago where everybody got really drunk? I was one of the only few people still sober and I accidently walked in on your brother drunkenly making out with Izzy."
Clary shot up. "Wait, Izzy never mentioned this to me."
"Not surprised. They were both drunk out of their minds and I happened to remind Jon about it the next day. He made me swear not to tell you or Alec, and in return, he owed me. Big time." Jace's proud smirk was back. For a moment, Clary wondered if his face would one day freeze like that.
"Well that's taken care of. But, you forgot one thing."
"What?"
Smiling, Clary placed her hands on her hips and smirked. "You still haven't asked me out and I haven't said yes yet." Chuckling, Jace wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back on to his lap; she had to admit, she enjoyed being there.
"Alright. Clarissa Adele Morgenstern, will you go out on a date with me?" Tapping her chin, Clary pretended to think about this and eventually broke out laughing when Jace brought out his puppy dog eyes.
"Yes Jace. I will go out on a date with you." They sealed it with a kiss.
