"Right, I'll go get some bandages to take care of those," Sebastian said, sounding reluctant to leave her. As he cupped her jaw in his hands pressing his lips to her forehead. Clary held extremely still holding her breath and resisting the violent urge to shove him away and kick out at him.
He gazed at her a moment more, sighing almost happily and then turned up to stone steps.
"Hurry back to me..." Clary called faintly, attempting to act distressed at his departure, it was risky, she knew, but she was hoping he would appreciate her effort, whether it was convincing or not.
She waited tensely as he stopped and slowly looked back at her, over his Shoulder. If he saw through her, he didn't show it.
"Oh, don't worry. I will" he replied in a knowing tone, his gaze smouldering as his lovely lips quirked up into a smirk.
"Good" clary offered what she hoped was a genuine smile in return, Sebastian lowered his pretty eyelashes over his pitch black eyes and winked at her before disappearing up into the house above.
She wiped her face on her arm and took a couple of deep breaths, hearing floorboards creek above her. She had to keep clam, keep a clear head.
