Clary's POV:

"Jace where exactly are we gong?"

"Not far, Promise"

"You've been saying that for the past twenty minutes"

"Well we are, finally here" he says puling his horse to a stop. I do the same to Jem. Jace slides gently off his horse and I wait for him to come and help me. Once off and and the horses are tied to trees. I look around. We are in a clearing in the woods and right in the middle is a waterfall thing. small rocks make up the rim and the water glistens in the sunlight.

"My father built it for my mother but I like to come here to remember them."

"Its beautiful I say in awe." I turn around and look at Jace and instantly wish that I had't. He was taking off his top and pulling down his trousers. He caught me staring.

"You don't have to look, but we both know you want to." He smirks at me before throwing his clothes and shoes to side leaving him in only his pants. With that he dives into the lake. I stand awkwardly at the side, until he re surfaces.

"Come on" he says "Or are you to scared" I role my eyes at him and say; I need help taking my dress off. He raises and eyebrow and swims to the edge.

"Are you asking me to undress you?" He asks a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Maybe, Maybe not" I say using his words form earlier. Two can play this game. He pulls himself out of the water and as he moves towards me I get a better looks at the runes that mark his skin He puts two hands on my hips and turns me around and slowly undoes me zipper but he doesn't stop there, he keeps pulling it down until he's crouching. I step out of it and he begins to undo my corset. he pulls the strings and gently slips it off. I cross my arms over my chest as he turns me back around but he moves them down and holds them in a fast grip by me legs. He soaks me in looking at me from every angle before taking me hand and pulling me into the water. I gasp as the cold water relaxes my body. i feel a splash from behind me and i turn around to get hit in the face with a wave of water. I shake my head and grin as we begin to splash each other. After about ten minutes off splashing each other i hold up my hands.

"Ok ok you win"

"I always do" I roll my eyes but i'm laughing. I start to swim away from him but he grabs my legs.

"Jace I'm tired."

"I know but trust me" He pulls me towards the waterfall and I look at him.

"Are you crazy the water is hitting so hard it will hurt me!" I say

"Just trust me" we come closer and i wait for the water to hit me but it doesn't. I look up and see that Jace has made a cage around me so the full force was hitting him. I suddenly became aware of the fact that one of his hands was on my breasts. But i soon forgot as i looked at what was before me. There was a pool of water and then there was marble walls surround and step up thing that you could sit on.

"Wow your father must have loved your mother" looking around. Still holding me he wades over to the step and sits down pulling me into his lap. He leans forward and I quickly tilt my head to the side So his lips press against my cheek.

"I knew you wouldn't let me" He said as i slid off his lap and floated on the surface of the water.

"Then why did you try"

"It was worth a shot" he said. This time it was my turn to smirk and i did.

"OOOO i think that the shy little princess has finally made her ground" he says grinning at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and smiled. Maybe getting married was the best thing that had ever happened at least with Jace i felt safe. I turned my back to him and I regretted it. I turned back round to face him and his face was like thunder.

"I could kill him you know. I could." He says gritting his teeth. I swam over to him and ran my finger down his torso.

"Its fine now, I'm fine now." He turns me back around and traces the jagged lines with his fingers. "i just don't understand why would anyone want to hurt you." I shrugged and turned around again.

"Are you hungry?" he asks

"Yes a little but where are we going to get food from here?" I ask

"I brought a picnic"

"Yes!" I say "Come on! I'm so hungry" He laughs at me and purposely walks over to me in slow motion. I pout at him and he laughs at my misery.

"Come on then" He scoops me up and we go back under the water fall. We both swim over to the edge and pull ourselves out. I reach for my clothes but jace grabs them off me.

"Nope! you will get them wet"

"Oh Jace please." I say pouting at him.

"Clary it is boiling hot why would you want to put your clothes on?" I sigh in defeat and cross my arms over my breasts as i wait for him to get the food and he brings back a basket full of all sorts of goods. There are eight small triangle shaped sandwiches, a bottle of lemonade, A massive slice of chocolate cake and some white choc chip cookies. We dig in and i sit with my feet dangling in the water. I give up on covering my breasts and enjoy the sun. I feel Jace come sit behind me and I'm about to turn around but he puts a hand on my head stopping me from doing so. He sits directly behind me and puts one leg either side of mine. He scoots forward so his torso is pressed against my back, he hooks his arms around my waists and points up at a tree.

"Look" he whispers in my ear. I look at where he is pointing to and i see a nest of small birds. They look sort of funny not fully grown yet, as look at them i find myself relaxing more and more into Jace's embrace. I pop the rest of my cookie into my mouth and start munching on a sandwich.

"You know," Jace says "You never told me why Jonathan whipped you" He started to draw patterns on my stomach making me wriggle a bit.

"Well my father used to beat Jonathon and never me so my brother killed my father and has made it his job to make sure I catch up on all my beatings."

"How old when it started?"

"He killed my father when I was nine and my first beating happened when I was ten."

"Your so strong Clary."

"No I'm not. I'm just a stupid princess that was given up by her brother to some king that doesn't want her." In one swift move he moved over me and pushed me away from the edge of the pool so he was forcing me to stay elbows on either side of my head where holding him up.

"Is that what you think?" he says. His breath hot against my skin. "That I don't want you. That I only married you because now I have an alliance with the Morgenstern Kingdom."

"Why did you marry me then? You could have chosen anyone. Someone prettier like Isabelle or Aline. Yeah she was hitting on you while I was right there.2

"Don't you dare make it like its my fault. Aline is annoying and petty and Izzy is like a sister to me."

"Then why marry me?!"

"Because I like you OK. I saw you when we had the fifty kingdom meeting three years ago and- and I" His voice softens slightly. "I liked you and I had to marry someone this year and your brother needed someone for you so i jumped at the chance." He takes a deep breath. "Sorry, for getting angry and stuff. Its just that..."

"Oh my goodness is Jace Herondale blushing. haahh" I fake gasp and he starts to tickle me.

"Jace - no -ahhh -Jaceeeeee" he stops and smiles at me and I can't help but smile back. He moves his head forward and this time I don't turn away as he presses his lips to mine. I reach my hands up and intertwine them into his hair. He flips us over so I'm on top of him and he slips his hands around my back. I pull away from the kiss and rest my head on his chest. I use my finger to trace one of his runes while he plays with my hair.

"Do you trust me he says?"

"Yes" i say nestling myself between the crook of his neck and falling asleep.
