Guess who's back! I've been on a mission this week to catch up with all of my stories! Hopefully you should be seeing more updates from me over the upcoming weeks as I am finally sorted and all moved in! Thank you for supporting me and my stories (:
"You do realise she never was pregnant." I asked Jace as he sat me down on the bed, sitting himself down next to me. He pulled his t-shirt over his head.
"I know." He smiled weakly. "I know. It was all a game to her. I'd just convinced myself that there was a baby." He shook his head. "I'm embarrassed and relieved and devastated all rolled into one." He sighed, lying back on the bed. I crawled up his body, until my face was level with his. I kissed his nose lightly before pecking his lips. "Stay the night?" He asked.
"I'm not sure, my parents –"
"Tell them you're staying at Isabelle's. Please." Jace pleaded, puppy dog eyes.
"Fiiiiine. But just because you're desperately in need."
"I am very desperate and very needy." Jace smirked, nibbling at my earlobe. I swatted him off, laughing. I went to sit up but he grabbed me around the middle, pulling me back to the bed as he wrapped me in his arms, latching on. I tried kicking my legs out but he held firm and eventually I gave up, relaxing against him. He moved his hips back allowing me to shape my body against his. I placed my head into the pillow, flushing. I could feel him against me, pressing against me. His hands rose up to my waist as his thumbs caressed the skin, his fingertips rising and falling. I placed my hands on top of his, guiding him where he was and wasn't allowed to go. He span me around in his arms, his lips finding mine as his hands held me firmly against him. His hands crept up the back of my t-shirt. I wrapped a leg around his body and he pulled us up so that he was sitting, with me in his lap. His hands pulled my t-shirt from my body, discarding it on the floor. I pressed my body against his bare torso and felt him twinge beneath me. His hands settled over the clasp of my bra and I breathed in sharply, breaking the kiss. Jace's eyes were closed, his mouth pressed against mine.
"Is this okay?" He muttered against my lips. I nodded and he unclasped it. I pressed myself up against his body as he peeled it from my skin, suddenly extremely embarrassed. I kept my skin pressed against his own, not wanting him to see my chest. My bra stuck firm to my breasts, held in place by Jace's torso. His fingers lightly caressed the skin where her my bra strap had been, his hips moving gently against me. I placed a hand under his chin, holding his lips to mine as I kissed him longingly. Jace's hands moved up my shoulder blades and across my shoulders, sliding my straps down my arms. I shrugged out of it, resting another hand in his hair, playing with individual strands as my tongue mingled with Jace's. I could feel my face flushing as Jace reached between us, swiping the bra from its resting place and casting it onto the floor. I pressed myself firmly against him as he raised his hips, and I could feel him again. I moaned lightly against his lips, my fingernails tracing down his back. His hands were back on my shoulder blades, holding me close and kissing me deeply. When he broke the kiss, I spoke lightly against them, my eyes closed.
"I think that's enough for one night." I smirked.
"You're the boss." He was smiling at me as I opened my eyes.
"That's debatable." I laughed, climbing from his lap and seeking out my bra once more. I put it on with my back to Jace – not quite ready to go there yet. Jace grabbed my hand, pulling me back over to the bed, so that I was sat on his lap once more.
"You're so beautiful Clary." He smiled as he ran his fingers up and down my sides. "I don't think I thanked you properly for sticking by me with the Lana situation. You truly are amazing."
"Stop trying to butter me up." I laughed, kissing the end of his nose. He flicked his nose against mine before his lips sought mine out once more. He held my back as he flipped me over so that he was lying above me. His hands caressed my stomach, making me giggle and squirm beneath him. His lips parted from mine as he focused on tickling me and making me scream. Once he was satisfied, he laid down next to me.
"I could live like this forever." He commented. I placed my head on his chest, cuddling in. "You tired, Red?"
"Little bit." I yawned, wrapping my leg up with his.
"Don't get too comfortable. Let me put a film on first." He smiled, hopping up and setting up the television. I sent my parents a quick message, telling them I'd be staying out for the night before I snuggled under the sheets, waiting for Jace to join me.
Jace took me home early that morning so that I could get changed before school. My parents were already out and I quickly got myself changed and headed back into Jace's car. Jace wrapped his hand up in my hair, pulling me towards him and kissing me passionately.
"What was that for?" I asked, breathlessly as he pulled away.
"Because I love you." He shrugged as he pulled the car away. I went to school that day with my head in the clouds, feeling not just on cloud nine but cloud ninety nine. It was hard to think that a few days ago I'd thought that this entire relationship was completely hopeless and now here I was, head over heels once more. I didn't see Jace the rest of that school day but I still kept my spirits up. Art was even remarkably unpainful. Sure, you could cut the tension between Iz and Sebastian with a knife but apart from that, it went swimmingly. Sebastian caught up to me as we were leaving the room, I could see Iz watching from across the room.
"Hey Clary – do you fancy going for a coffee and a catch up?"
"No thanks, Seb. I'm meeting Jace." I smiled at him lightly before ducking away from him, not wanting to make Isabelle feel bad. Jace was waiting for me next to his car, Lana in tow. My attention was peaked. I slowed my pace down as I was walking over, you could quite clearly see they were arguing. Lana started to storm away just as I was about to reach them, heading in my direction.
"You!" She pointed straight at me as Jace hastily locked his car and started sprinting up behind her. "This is all your fault." She rounded on me.
"I don't think so Lana. You've brought this on yourself." I went to take a step past her but she blocked me. I didn't even see her fist swing at me until it impacted with my cheek. It stung. Jace had rounded on her pulling her away before she could hit me again as I stood there, shocked. Once Lana had stormed off, Jace was at my side, checking my face for injuries. I was just glad that the car park was nigh on deserted.
"Are you alright? That looked like it hurt." Jace questioned as I shrugged.
"It didn't tickle, but I think I'll survive." I smiled as Jace bundled me into the car.
"If it cheers you up at all, you've got me all to yourself."
"That always works a charm." I smiled. "To think a few months ago we were sneaking around in bowling alleys." I giggled.
"Thankfully we don't have to sneak around anymore." Jace pulled over, leaning over to kiss me. "Ever." Kiss. "Ever." Kiss. "Again." Kiss. My heart was aflutter.
"I hope not." I smiled.
"I know as much." He smiled, reassuringly. Just as he was about to get out of the car, his phone started to ring. He checked the caller before answering.
"Hey. Yeah? Yeah, that's fine. I'm in the car now. Yeah, I'll head over. I've got Clary with me, is that alright? Perfect. I'll be there in about 15 minutes. See you, bye." I looked at him. "Alec. The alarm is going off at the house and him and Magnus are out of town, so he's asked me to call by just to make sure all is okay." He smiled. "Is that alright?"
"Yeah, fine. Although, if someone is inside that house, how are you planning on finding them?" I teased.
"I have my ways." He smirked, heading for Alec and Magnus' mansion. When we arrived, it was just as majestic as the first time I had seen it. Jace walked up to the door, gaining access by what I guessed was some sort of smart fingerprint technology. He guided me through the house to an alarm panel that was hidden inside a study. "I need you to stand very still." He smiled at me as he flicked some switches downward on the panelling. I watched on intrigued. The panel beeped continuously as the switches flicked back up. Once all the switches were flicked, the beeping stopped.
"And what was that?" I questioned. Jace shut the panel back over.
"It's a security feature. It scans each room in the house for movement and if there's movement in any of those rooms the switch says active, so you can either call the police, or go catch yourself an intruder."
"So there's no intruders?" I asked.
"Nah, must have been a fault with the alarm." Jace said, with a look on his face. I furrowed my brow.
"Or, you got Alec to call you and pretend there was a fault so you could bring me here." Jace looked amused. "Somehow I don't think alarm systems as advanced as these ones make such mistakes…" Jace burst out laughing.
"Am I that easy to read?" Jace smiled. "Let's go and get you some ice for that face. I'd hate to see it bruise." Jace led me through to the kitchen and got me some frozen peppers to stick on my face.
"So, why have you brought me here?" I questioned.
"Magnus and Alec are away. I thought I'd be nice to have some down time. They have some pretty neat things here. Pool tables, swimming pools, tennis, cinema – anything you want to do, we can do it here. They said we could stay the night if we wanted – if your parents are cool with that, that is."
"I'd have to ask." I smiled. "But if it were up to me, I'd love to." I removed the ice from my face, five minutes would be enough. "Come on then, you can decide what we do first."
"Do you like swimming?"
"I do – but I don't have a swimming costume with me." I said coyly. Jace just shook his head, pulling me along behind him to the sublevels of the house. The swimming pool was nothing like I imagined it to be. It was absolutely colossal. "Do Magnus and Alec use every room in this house?" I asked as Jace removed his shoes.
"Well they won't use every room every day, but they try to use them as much as possible. That's where we come in – we'll use them for them." He shrugged himself out of his t-shirt. His pants came off next and I had to bite my lip when he slipped into the pool in just his underwear. "The water isn't cold you know – come on, try it." He smiled, splashing water at me. Part of me wished that I had just gotten into the pool when he had, now that he was already in it would look like I was doing some sort of weird strip tease. I shrugged out of my jacket, folding it carefully on the side of the pool. I removed my t-shirt next before turning onto the buttons of my jeans. Before I slipped them down my legs, I took a look down them to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. Jace started laughing loudly.
"What on earth are you doing?" He giggled. "Hiding your manhood?" I shot him a look.
"Yes actually." I teased. "Don't want you getting jealous." Jace splashed me again as I shimmied out of my jeans. I moved to the side of the pool, diving over his head, swimming under the water and surfacing at the other end of the pool.
"Show off." Jace smirked, swimming towards me. Every time he got within touching distance of me, I swam away. "Jesus, you're pretty fast."
"What I lack in co-ordination in my everyday life, I somehow make it up in the water. I must be a mermaid at heart." I joked before swimming under the surface, kicking off the wall. Jace must have been waiting for me as he caught me around the middle, forcing me up to the surface. He could stand on the floor of this part of the pool but I couldn't. He held me by my waist as though I was weightless as he walked a little bit deeper, still touching the floor. I was forced to wrap my legs around one of his, to keep myself afloat without exerting any effort. Jace pushed my hair back from my face. His lips were on mine, one hand on the back of my head, the other pressing against my back. I placed my hands on either side of his face, deepening the kiss. My legs shifted from his thigh, wrapping around his waist. He moved in the water from the centre of the pool over to the edge, pressing my back against it lightly. I felt him stiffen underneath me and moaned lightly into his open mouth. He groaned against me, his hands moving down to my bum, cupping it. His fingers kneaded my skin as I grew hot under his touch.
"I don't think Alec would take too kindly to us doing this in his pool." I muttered as Jace kissed down my throat.
"I'm sure they've done worse in this pool." He muttered against my skin as he kissed down my cleavage. His mouth found mine once more as he lifted me onto the pool's edge. "I think we should probably get out before it becomes a little bit more than PG-13." I pouted. Jace was right though – I wasn't ready for that. Not yet.
