Alec 2039
"Alexander!" Magnus rushes towards me as soon as I walk through the gate and throws himself in my arms. I pull him close to me and breathe in his scent. God, I've missed him. I pull back a little, just so I can look into his eyes and see the love reflecting back at me. I don't really believe in soulmates, but I do believe that he is the right fit for me. Him and no one else. There will never be a doubt about that.
"You look great." I do a quick scan from head to toe. "Stronger."
"Thanks. I actually feel stronger." He smiles at me as he catches my eyes lingering a bit too long below his waist. I quickly look up but the pinkish color on my cheeks is a dead giveaway. "Definitely strong enough for that..." he whispers, then winks at me and I nearly choke on the air I'm beathing. I had no idea he could be so blatant and obvious with people within hearing range. He sure has changed. And I'm definitely not complaining.
I can hear the silent snickering from the hunters at the gate, which quickly halters when I scowl at them.
"Come on inside with me." Magnus takes me hand and starts dragging me towards the prison. "I've missed you. I want to spend some time with you."
I know there was something important I had to tell Simon, but my mind is completely blank as I follow Magnus inside. I even ignore every single person who tries to welcome me back. I'm too focused on Magnus and the heat radiating from his body that is so close to mine as we walk.
We barely get through the door to our bedroom before he pushes me up against the wall and starts devouring my lips. Not that I mind. Not at all. He tastes so sweet. I kiss him back with heated passion as I can feel every part of his body pressed up against mine.
"God, I've missed you so bad..." He moans against my lips as he pulls my shirt from my pants and slides his hand underneath. Caressing the skin on my stomach.
"I-I missed you too..." I stutter as I try to maintain some kind of brain function, but despite my great effort, I don't succeed. I am not able to function around him right now. I can feel myself falling into basic human needs. I just want him.
I turn us around and pushes him up against the wall as my hands slowly start removing his shirt from his body.
"Yes..." He moans and as I begin to cover his feverish skin with kisses, a satisfied groan escapes him. This is not what I had in mind of our first time together, but it seems like it is exactly what Magnus wants, and who am I to deny it to him?
I slide to my knees and put my fingers on his belt before I look up to catch his eyes. No matter how desperate I am, I will never do anything without his clear consent. Especially knowing what he has been through in his life.
He runs his fingers through my hair, sends me a crooked smile before he bites his bottom lip and nods for me to continue. I maintain eye contact as I open the belt. My fingers even begin to shake.
I kiss the skin inch by inch as I reveal it, and once his pants are at his feet, I take him in my mouth. I will always treasure the sweet memory of the noise he makes, as his eyes rolls back in his head, and he grabs a fistful of my hair.
Even though this isn't how I had pictured it was supposed to happen, I don't want to change a thing. Not after seeing how much Magnus is enjoying himself. I can't wait to look into those beautiful eyes as I make love to him. Just the thought of him writhing beneath me, moaning and screaming as I pleasure him. God, I can hardly resist guiding him onto the bed right this instant. I want to be inside him so bad...
"Lightwood!" Simon bursts through the door like a maniac. As soon as he sees us, his eyes widen, then he covers his eyes with his hand and when he is trying to turn away from us, he nearly trips over his own feet. "Wow! Fuck! Sorry!" he shouts and places himself flush against the wall with his back to us and still covering his eyes.
"GODDAMNIT SIMON!" I yell while Magnus rapidly pulls his pants up.
"I'm so sorry... so, so sorry." Simon says with his back towards us. "I would never have run in like that if I knew..."
"You should never have entered this room without permission, no matter what!" I scold him like a child. The fury is raging inside me as I grab him by the arm to throw him out of the room. It is killing me that Magnus once more has to endure another bad experience just as he allows himself to engage in something sexual.
My grip is not gentle at all. Simon winches but doesn't try to get away from me. I can tell he knows how badly he has fucked up.
"But sir..." I stop as he says the word sir. I don't think he has ever called me sir unsarcastically before. He quickly interprets me stopping as his que to continue before I throw him out. "I really am sorry, and I will never enter without permission again, but it's an emewrgency."
"hat's the emergency?" Magnus asks, now standing next to me. The blush is almost gone from his face, and he seems more okay with the situation that I had expected him too. I feared it would have brought up some bad memories from his time in The City, where he was being used as a sextoy, but he doesn't seem to be all that bothered. Thank god...
"Anthroes." Simon pants while trying to pry his arm out of my hold. "Lots of them. They are at our gate."
"So!" I growl. The anger hasn't left me completely yet. He ruined my moment with magnus. "There has been Anthroes there before. They can't break through. They'll leave eventually."
"It's different this time. They are not trying to attack. And one of them speaks!"
***
As a precaution, everyone who isn't a hunter, is now safely hiding far away from the gates. A few hunters are minding the towers with weapons ready while the rest of us are on the roof. Assessing the situation. But sure enough, one of them speaks. Or tries too anyway. I have only heard one word so far.
"And we are sure they can't get in, right?" Simon asks next to me.
"Yes. Don't worry. Magnus wouldn't be here with me if I had any doubts."
"Right..." Simon nods slowly. "But then why did we hide away the others?"
"Just to be sure." I answer. "And to make sure that there won't be any accidents or anything. Only the people I trust 110 percent is allowed out here. I'm not getting blindsided and betrayed again."
Simon doesn't respond, he just clenches his jaw.
"TALK!" the creature growls once more while glaring in my direction. And I recognize it. It's the one that didn't attack me when I was at the wall. They must have followed me back.
