His hands felt like magic against her skin, his lips like fire. She couldn't help but make the little noises of pleasure as he pushed and pulled, caressed and kissed. It was heaven.

Right now he hadn't dared move farther than the skin of her back and stomach, dipping down to kiss that sensitive place on her lower back. A rush of heat swam through her and she felt her arms, as if they were separate objects, fling towards the tile walls to steady her jello-like legs. He was making her melt, and she loved it.

She loved him.

Slowly, and ever-so lethargically his fingers trailed across her flat abdomen and stroked the dip of her stomach. They traveled languorously up her rib cage and softly padded across the hot skin just underneath her chest. Jace's mouth was back at her ear again, nibbling a little bit, until he moved to suck on her collar bone. Gently, as her face fell back in pure overwhelming bliss, his teeth grazed lightly over the place where her neck and collarbone met and she groaned. Loudly. Embarrassingly loud. Her hand was suddenly covered in warmth and she looked down to see it wrapped in Jace's hair, another flush of crimson soaking into her cheeks. Jace glanced up at her and smiled, before kissing her sweetly on the lips.

"I love your blush" she felt him say it more than heard him as he attacked her lips with sweet little kisses, all embarrassment disappearing. Suddenly realizing Clary's arms were no longer covering her chest she turned facing him and held his face to hers so he couldn't see. Just as suddenly, the blush was back.

She giggled as his hand traced a promise rune on her back. "Jace..." she hummed.

He moved closer to her, much to her appeal, and pressed her to him with his large, skilled hands. She gasped as she felt all of his body against hers, hard and tense muscles, rippling beneath his skin.

Jace looked into her eyes, deep amber meeting forest green, both darkened with lust, and truly kissed her for the first time. Forgetting her petty insecurities she wrapped her arms around his neck, loving the rumbling groan it caused, and deepened the kiss. His tongue swiped against her lips and though Clary was nervous, and a ball of bundled energy, she let him have entrance. He stroked her tongue with his and she responded with deep intense need.

Clary felt him pull away and, disappointed, she started to kiss his neck instead. He tasted like sweat and skin and spice and Jace. And she loved it. "Promise me," she heard him gasp out, as she bit gently down on his own collarbone. Forcing herself to pull away she looked up at him through her eyelashes.

"Promise you what?"

He grinned and ran a hand along the outside of her thigh, making her shiver. It was skin on skin contact, and it felt so good. "Promise not to hide from me. Promise me this will be true and honest." His eyes were like an open book at that moment, letting her in, letting her see all his emotions and feelings and motivations. His love.

"I promise." Clary murmured before kissing him again.

It was as if her words set him on fire. Quickly he gripped her legs and hiked them up onto his waist. It only made sense for her to wrap them around him. He carried her out of the shower and back into the bedroom without breaking their lips. Gently, as gentle as one could be, Jace threw her under the covers, somehow, and though they were both dripping with cold water, the heat was almost unbearable. He lowered his body to meet hers, covering her with his own.

"I love you," he murmured and the rest of the night blurred into cries and pleasure, skin and teeth, lips and limbs. It was perfect, and yet she never got the chance to tell him the only thing she wanted to say.

I love you too.

Blood ran like rivers down her back and across her collarbones. It blended with the colour of her hair and darkened the fiery depths burgundy, pooled in the dirt and grassy making it sticky, like a rusty mud. Her green eyes lowered beneath him, half lidded as she croaked out the thing he'd least expected to hear.

"I could have loved you." She gasped, blood foaming at the corners of her mouth and slicking across her pale, dying lips.

He felt her pain so suddenly, so abruptly, and it ricocheted in him like a wrecking ball, each breath a searing panic in his lungs. He'd been the one to cause her all this pain and now he just wanted to take it all away.

Just take it away.

Because more than anything, he wanted her love.

And he didn't realize that until now...

Jonathan Morgenstern woke from his slumber with a start, gasping awake from the terrible nightmare.

He could never love his sister, it was impossible, he was just...it was all... At a loss for words Jonathan grabbed the Lilith bladed hilt from his bedside table where it rested, sinking it into his skin. Three little cuts made there way onto his forearm and he sighed as all the confusion drained from his bod and lit his mind with absolute clarity.

He still hated her.

She hated him.

He'd kill her and have power beyond his control.

Yes, this was the Morgenstern way. This was right. With a burst of renewed energy, Jonathan grabbed the rest of the tools needed to preform the ceremony and ran down the stairs, only to meet a questioning Sebastian at the door.

"What are you doing?" Verlac asked, eyes cold and hard.

"I'm getting an early start on the ceremony, I do have to head deep in the woods after all." Jonathan stated.

Seb arced an eyebrow. "It's almost nightfall..." he started.

"Yes, and I have a lot of work to do." Why must Sebastian be so curious? "Which is why I'm heading off now. Stay here and wait for Clarissa and the boy to come. Kill him if you must, but make sure you bring me Clarissa alive." He grinned as a beautiful thought crossed his mind. "I want her to watch as her world crumbles before her. I want her to have no hope at all when she dies."

And he would make her watch, oh yes he would.

Watch as the life drained from everything she loved.

With a sadistic grin Jonathan Morgenstern set out into the night.
