19.

"What are you doing up?" Alec yawned walking into the kitchen. He stretched and raised an eyebrow. "And why are you cooking bacon?"

"I got hungry…want some?" Magnus answered offering him a piece.

"Cravings?" Alec asked sitting down.

"I don't think I can call them craving's anymore considering it's been a year…maybe it's just become a habit," he answered. "Feeling blue at some god awful hour in the morning? Fry up some bacon and eat your feelings. What are you doing up?"

"You weren't in bed and I was worried," Alec answered. "And then I smelled bacon."

"The best way to a man's heart is through bacon~" Magnus teased.

"Or sex," Alec added. "That's how you won my heart in the first place."

"Oh really? Because I seem to recall us not having sex until at least our tenth date," Magnus pointed out. He picked up the pan and put it in the sink to wash it out.

"Only because you insisted on waiting until we got to know each other better," Alec added. "And as I recall we got to know each other very well."

"Did we? You'll have to refresh my memory," Magnus said drying his hands.

"We did," Alec said getting up.

He walked around the counter wrapping his arms around Magnus from behind. He kissed his neck and sighed.

"You were in the kitchen getting us drinks, and I was sitting on the couch nervous as hell because it was the first time I was in your apartment. We had just gotten back from a very nice dinner at Taki's, paid for by me because I am of course a gentleman-"

Magnus snorted.

"Shut up, I am," Alec smiled. "I paid for dinner and you offered the option of dessert at your apartment, which I very calm accepted."

"More like jumped at the option," Magnus added.

"Fine then how do you remember it?" Alec asked.

"Well," Magnus turned to look at him. "I remember getting us drinks from kitchen and then sitting down with you on the couch and we were talking and then I remember you putting our drinks down and then kissing me. And then I of course kissed back and we made out on the couch before we had sex on the floor."

"I suppose I just remember it a little more romantically then it actually happened," Alec shrugged and moved his hand over his abdomen. "Either way, I still got you."

Magnus smiled and kissed him. "And I got you."

"Now let's go back to bed…I need to sleep off all this bacon."

"Lazy," Magnus teased following him back upstairs to the bedroom.

"So whose idea was it to have a barbecue today?" Maryse asked as Alec handed her a cup of coffee.

"Mine, I figured since Magnus is feeling back to his old self it'd be nice to have a little get together with the family and my new pack," Alec answered. "And it's small, just us, no doubt Jace is going to bring Clary…"

"Pack? Since when have you started a pack?" She asked. "And why haven't you told me?"

"I told dad...and it's just me, Magnus of course, and this guy he works with Woolsey Scott."

"Scott? The younger brother of Raff Scott? He founded the Praetor Lupus."

"His brother?"

"No, Woolsey Scott, it's still a relatively new organization of course, but still well known at least."

"The only reason he agreed to join was because of Magnus," he drank some of his coffee. "Either way, he's not such a bad guy, even if he is pining for my mate."

"The only thing Woolsey Scott is pinning for is blond, green eyed and female," Magnus said walking into the kitchen. "And my ex-girlfriend."

Alec coughed. "Pardon?"

"You're ex-girlfriend?" Maryse asked.

"Yes, right, I never mentioned, I bat for both teams," Magnus answered getting some water from the fridge.

"You also never mentioned an ex-girlfriend," Alec pointed out.

"I have an ex-girlfriend," Magnus said. "I'm going to shower and get ready."

"It's only three," Maryse pointed out. "I thought the barbecue wasn't until later."

"It takes him two to get ready," Alec told her. "Don't use up all the hot water."

"No promises sweet pea," Magnus smiled heading upstairs.

Alec sighed and shook his head smiling as he watched him go and stood up to put his coffee cup in the sink.

"You two sound like newlyweds with the way you banter back and forth," Maryse noticed as Alec took her cup.

"We're mates…isn't that kind of the point?" he asked washing the cups out. "Though…I know he would like a real wedding."

"Really?"

"It's Magnus. Of course he does. And I want to give him one."

"So you're going to propose to him?"

"When I find the right time."

She nodded. "Well I am going to head back home and make sure you're siblings haven't burned down the house. I will see the both of you later."

He nodded and walked her to the door. He closed the door behind her and went upstairs taking off his own clothes and slipping into the bathroom.

"Room in there for one more," he asked stepping in.

"Always for you," Magnus answered turning around to face him.

"Did you know Woolsey founded this group called Praetor Lupus? It's a group of werewolves and they basically help newbies find packs to help them control themselves."

"Interesting," Magnus nodded and grabbed the shampoo. "What are you planning on wearing?"

"Jeans and a sweater why?" Alec asked. "…No, you are not picking out what I am going to wear."

"I was only going to suggest your black jeans with the dark blue sweater…" Magnus gave him an innocent look. "And then I'll wear my to die for blue jeans with the rhinestones on the back pockets with my black sweater and the grey vest with my black ankle boots."

"You've just shaved half an hour off your getting ready time by planning ahead," Alec teased giving him a kiss.

The shower was almost instantly forgotten as Alec reached down and squeezed his ass and rocking their hips together enticing a moan from Magnus. He smirked and pulled away causing him to whine.

"And as much as I'd love to stay and shower with you, I need to get dressed and get the grill ready for the food.

"Must you?" Magnus pouted. "Let's have shower sex..."

"If I don't the food won't get cooked and we'll be eating everything raw," Alec told him. "We can have sex later...maybe even baby making sex if you're up for it."

"Fine...Did you get steak?"

"Yes I got you steak."

"Excellent. I will finish getting ready and then make some drinks."

"I'll see you downstairs," Alec told him giving him another kiss.

"Have I mentioned how much I love you?" Magnus asked.

"I love you too," he answered giving him another kiss. "Don't take too much longer."

"I'm almost finished. Just need to wash my hair. Twenty minutes tops."

Alec walked out and dried off before getting dressed and towel dried his hair before running his fingers through it and hanging up the towels. He made his way down stairs and walked over to the front door as the doorbell went off.

"Woolsey, you're early…and you brought company…who's this?" Alec asked noticing the shorter boy with glasses.

"This is Simon. Newly turned, and in my charge," he answered. "I didn't think it'd be a good idea to leave him at home with his mom and sister when he's still getting used to everything."

"Of course," Alec nodded and held open the door. "Why don't you two go outside and hang out on the deck while I get the grill started. Woolsey could you grab the meat from the fridge?"

"No problem. Where's Magnus?"

"He is getting ready…did you know he used to have a girlfriend?"

"He's had a few," Woolsey answered carrying the meat onto the back porch. "Who are we talking about?"

"Camille?" Alec asked grabbing the matches.

"Oh yes. The beautiful blonde," Woolsey answered. "There is a reason he may not have mentioned her to you."

"Why?"

"Not my place to tell…even if you are my alpha."

"Woolsey, you're early," Magnus said as he walked onto the porch.

"And you're dressed, how shocking," Woolsey teased giving him a hug. "Domestic life suits you."

"Among other things," Magnus pulled away. "Who's this?"

"This is Simon. He's a newbie," he answered.

"Newbie?" Magnus asked.

"Newly turned werewolf," Alec answered.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you Simon," he smiled. "Why don't you give me a hand in the kitchen with the drinks?"

Simon looked at Woolsey who nodded and gave Magnus a slight nod before following him into the house.

"I was thinking, maybe Simon could join the pack," Woolsey said leaning against the railing.

"Why not," Alec shrugged. "I don't have a real problem with it. Where else is he going to go?"

"Great. I will let the Praetus Lupus know."

"Beers for the gentleman," Magnus said walking over with two bottles. He set the other drinks on the table and showed Simon where to put the cooler.

"Beers and a grilling, feel like a man yet Alec?" Woolsey teased as he walked over and sat next to Simon.

"He is way more man than you will ever be," Magnus smirked over his glass of water. "Trust me."

"Still satisfied you," Woolsey winked.

Alec rolled his eyes and pulled Magnus in for a kiss. "The beauty of this entire conversation is that I am the one who satisfies him and keeps him satisfied."

"Mmm very satisfied," Magnus kissed back and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Ahem, glad to know you're watching some meat there Alec," Jace said walking onto the porch. "What is nerd boy doing here?"

"His name is Simon," Woolsey told him.

"He's the newest member of pack and my deck my rules means I can kiss my mate as much and for as long as I want and I can burn the meat if I want to," Alec said.

"Burn the meat and I'll eat you alive," Magnus told him pulling away. "Goldielock's always a pleasure."

"Clary said it's a good manner's to bring a house warming gift so I brought wine," Jace said offering them the bottle.

"And just where is the lovely red head this evening?" Magnus asked taking the bottle.

"She couldn't make it," he answered grabbing a soda from the cooler.

Magnus set the wine down on the table. "What a pity."

"Mom said she and dad had to cancel, something came up with the council," Isabelle said walking onto the deck with Max. "They send their regards and a few gifts."

"Did they say what the council wanted?" Alec asked.

"Just that they're going to be gone for a while," she answered sitting down next to Woolsey. She smiled and leaned back. "I'm Isabelle."

"Woolsey…nice to meet you," he smiled.

"Should we warn him?" Magnus asked resting his chin on Alec's shoulder. "Or let him find out on his own."

"Let's see how long it takes him to figure it out," Alec answered. "It'll be funny when he does."

"Well I think the barbecue was a success," Magnus said putting the last of the dishes away.

"The best part being when Woolsey found out Isabelle was my younger sister, I swear I don't think I've ever seen someone stammer so much before," Alec laughed a little bit and wrapped his arms around Magnus.

He kissed his neck and slid his hands under his shirt stroking his chest. "How about we go upstairs."

Magnus nodded and Alec smiled taking his hand and leading him upstairs to their bedroom.
