I smile and pull my hair up into a pony tail. I dress in a moss green long sleeve shirt with a scoop neck that Isabelle insisted I wear cause it makes my almost nonexistent boobs look fantastic. I pair it with black jeans and boots. I throw on some eyeliner and clear gloss and head out.

I arrive 15 minutes before 6. I find apartment 401 A and knock on the door. The man who answers is not Jace or Alec and for a moment I wonder if I got the number wrong.

He's dressed in a silk Kimono of midnight blue and black pants. His hair is jet black and spiked with blue glitter, as are his eyelids and lips.

"So this is the beautiful Clarissa. Come right in love." He says with a smile.

"You must be Alec's boyfriend."

He takes my hand and places a kiss to the back of it. "I'm Magnus Bane and it's a pleasure to meet Jace's lovely lady. He best treat you well or I'll steal you away."

I don't know what to say and thankful Alec comes into the room and saves me from having to answer him.

"Hey Clary it's nice to see you again. Don't let Magnus scare you off, he's mostly harmless." Alec says with a sly smile that make Magnus smirk.

"Come Alexander let's leave Clarissa and Jace to there own devices for the evening."

I feel my cheeks turn a bright scarlet as they quickly exit the apartment. I wonder where Jace is but I hear a door shut and a moment later

I watch as he walks toward me with his lean and deadly lion's grace. I swallow hand because I feel like pray trapped in the sights of a killer.

His eyes rake over me and I see a flicker of something wild in his golden eyes. His arm reaches out and wraps around my waist and pulls me against him. Again I smell the scent of soap, and smoke, and copper.

His hair is unruly as always. He wear a white tee shirt and dark jean that sit low on his hips, his feet are bare. I see why he said not to get dolled up.

"Clarissa." My name sounds beautiful as it falls from his lips like a whispered prayer. I moan and he pulls me closer.

"You look beautiful. I hope you're hungry." These words send a jolt of electricity through every nerve ending in my body."You smell delicious like grapefruit and honey."

I rise up on my tip toes and press my lips to his. The kiss is like the one in the coffee shop, a slow and gentle tangle of tongues. One arm around my waist the other fist into my hair, my body trap against his.

I let my fingers twist into his satin and silk curls as his leg gently slips between mine and creating a friction that makes me twist harder at his curls. He growls and breaks the contact of our lips.

"I'm sorry Jace. I got caught up..." He smiles and it's that devilish smile from the coffee shop.

"I told you that the devil lived among the angels Clarissa and right now I desire so many wicked things and all of them include you."

"Like what?" I ask but I'm almost afraid of what his answer will be. He smile that smile again and I feel myself growing wet with a desire to go along with whatever be suggests if it means having his lips and hands on me again.

"Shall we go get some dinner?" I nod and he pulls me back into the circle of his arms and his lips hover at my ear. "Or we can continue what we where doing if you'd prefer that Clarissa."

I respond by returning my arms to his hair and his lips crush to mine. This kiss is filled with a fierce hunger that threaten to burn me to ashes. When we part I'm breathless and shaking.

"Did I hurt you?" His eyes hold a fear that makes me melt.

"No I just didn't eat much at lunch and I'm feeling dizzy." I say as I keep my arms around his neck. He pulls my arms free and leads me over to the couch and sits me down. "Do you want to wait here and let me go or do you think you could walk?"

"I'll go...just give me a minute." He smiles and sits next to me before pulling me back into his arms. The warmth of his body turn the dizziness into lightheartedness.

"Ok let's go." I say with a smile and he stands taking me with him.

The Chinese place is three blocks for the apartment and Jace keeps his arm around my waist the whole time. "I'm fine Jace you, I won't fall I promise."

"Maybe I simply want to be selfish Clarissa and not let go of you." He snickers and I lean into his warmth. "Will you allow me that pleasure?"

The way he stresses that last word makes me feel weak but I somehow remain standing and nod my head. He kisses the crown and we keep walking.

The place is small but the smell of it makes my stomach growl. Jace greets the man behind the counter before he gives our order. "Do you speak Chinese Jace?"

"Enough to order for everyone and a few pleasantries." He give me a light squeeze as the man returns with our order.

We settle down on the floor in the livingroom with our plates on the coffee table and the food is as the place Luke likes to go.

"So what should I know about you that I don't already know?" I ask and see a sideways smile come to his face.

"What do you know about me Clarissa? What awful lies has Izzy told you?"

"She didn't say anything bad in fact she didn't say anything really. I told her I needed a male model and she said that she didn't want me to get some creep and that she had a brother who would be perfect for me." I pause for a minute and curse under my breath. "She set me up."

I hear Jace laugh and I look over at him. "In a way she did but she's been talking about you to me for months now. She just wanted to wait for the perfect time..but that's Isabelle." I sigh and he laughs again. "I can see myself being very happy with you Clarissa. I'm glad Isabelle waited the way she did. I just wish she hadn't kept you in the dark. What do you want to know?"

"Everything you want to tell me."

"My father and mother where friends with with the Lightwood's, they went to school together. My father died in a car crash, my mother and Maryse where both 5 months along Maryse was pregnant with Isabelle, Alec was 2. My mother became very depressed and she went into early labour at 32 weeks, she died from a blood clot shortly after my birth. Maryse and Robert went to court to court and got custody, it was my mother's wish for me. So Izzy and I are like twins in a way." He has a slightly sad look on his face and I reach over and brush my hand along his cheek. He wraps his fingers around my wrist and guides my palm to his lips. "Don't feel sorry for me Clarissa, I had a very happy childhood with people who love me. Do you have any siblings?"

"No...I had a brother Jonathan Christopher, he would have been a year older than me. There was a fire, my father and brother both died and my mom was a few months along with me, if it wasn't for Luke I don't know what my mother would have done. They got married when I was 5, it was my birthday wish that year. I don't know why they never had kids of there own but he loves me like I'm his."

He pulls me into his lap and wraps his arms around me. I feel his lips on the skin of my shoulder and I let my head fall to the side to give him access to my neck. I moan and I feel him snicker against my skin.

"You are so hard to resist Clarissa. I want to know every part of you and I want you to see every part of me not just for your project. I want to bring you pleasure, I want to take away your pain. Will you let me do that? Will you be mine Clarissa?" I nod my head yes because I don't trust myself to form words, I twist my head so that I can brush my lips to his and he kisses me with that force that makes the hunger build in me.
