The narrowed and arched looks of three sets of eyes completely washing over her like they weren't even there. Instead, she pointed to a photo she'd taken of the writing from the rooftop where Lilith had tried to resurrect Sebastian. "How do I not know this writing? I've studied all the forms of the Gehenna languages..."
"Magna Bane-Lightwood, if you do not sit down, I will burn all of your books and pour the ashes in the dead sea." Catarina growled softly as she tried to pace the smaller woman with a different attempts to figure out why she couldn't change. They all knew why... but Magna wanted to be sure. Had to be sure. Jace was gone... Alec didn't need...
"Can't this wait, Catarina?" Sighing in exasperation, she turned and leaned back against the table. She felt sick. Ungodly sick. Like everything she'd eaten on her trip with Alec would magically find away to escape. The sickness left her pale and even shaking as Catarina's hand pressed against her forehead.
"No." The blue skinned healer glared at her in a way only a motherly healer could and it quelled her thoughts. If Magna dared to look over her shoulder, she knew that she'd find two sets of feline eyes glaring at her. "You need to put this nonsense away and let me check you over..."
"But... Alec needs..."
"Alec doesn't know what he needs! You know why?" The healer glared her down and didn't have to finish it as Lex scowled and finished for her, "Because you haven't told him!"
"I told him..." Magnus wilted against the table and gave in. Sitting on the edge, Catarina worked her magic grumbling the while time about how Magnus Bane didn't know the meaning of communicating. "He has more important things to worry about..." Keeping her voice soft, she felt a pain in her chest and stomach that nearly made her want to retch right then.
"You know that's not true..." Mal's soft voice permeated the air and Magnus flinched. "If you just told him clearly, you'd realize that. Even if he is a new person, you know as well as we do that he loves you. This isn't something you can dance around."
Rubbing at her face, she finally pressed her hands over it and made a soft sound. When she lifted her head, she waved them away. "Go. I'm tired. We all know this is pointless. We all know why I can't change. So just go home. I need to think." The kittens started to complain and she cut them sharp looks. "You two. Out. I love you, but you're suffocating me. I'll see you in the morning." Both of them glared only a moment before they gave in. One at a time they said goodbye, Mal with a kiss to her forehead and Lex with a hug. After one last lingering look, they were gone. "I know what those looks mean... they are chastising me for not saying it to him plainly."
"Magnus..." Feline eyes rose to Catarina's and she tried to grin only to sigh at the hard look. "Leave all of this where it lay... clean up... lay down. If he doesn't come back here tonight, you call him. The longer you put this off... the worse of a mess you'll make. Are we clear?"
One hand tangled messily in her hair as her eyes closed. Ducking her head, she made a low whimpering sound as her stomach turned. Finally... all she could do was nod.

Date: 2013-08-08 05:48 am (UTC)He might not have her powers except the echos of magic that he sometimes could use because of the bond, but he'd never been frightened or intimidated. Magnus was his love, his dearest friend. There would never be a reason for him to think less of her.
Smiling wryly, he pulled away enough to look into her eyes. "I think I've proven that I was born for you. I know we'll find him. And we'll protect our family" But he didn't want to think of what they had lost in the past or about his missing parabatai. They should be celebrating instead of lingering on the past.
His smile brightened with wonder as magic seemed to focus between their palms. They had probably done this dozens of times, but it always amazed Alec when he realized that he had magic of some sort. "You make me whole. You always will."
Pausing momentarily from those kisses when her purring momentarily stopped, he nibbled lightly at her neck when the familiar sound resumed.
Slowly, he pulled down the faded denim, groaning lowly when he realized she was naked underneath her jeans. When they had joined the rest of her clothes, Alec pressed a kiss to her ankle before looking up the length of her body to meet her golden eyes. "I'm thinking of tasting you."
His gaze didn't waver even as he flushed faintly, wondering if he'd ever be able to say things like that without blushing. "If you'd like me to."

Date: 2013-08-08 12:16 pm (UTC)"You have." Smiling more, she nodded once to his declaration about Jace and let it go. They needed a happy moment. Not to fret more about something they couldn't change right this instant. Reaching out, she traced her fingertips down his face and neck before lightly pulling on his shirt. "You know... this should be off too."
Which made her giggle through the purring as he went after her neck again. Arching into him, her body curved perfectly to fit into him and give him that access to the sensitive skin of her neck. Closing her eyes, she shivered. "Love you... your touch... your kisses..."
She squirmed when he moved down. Just a little bit. The decent down her body was amazing even if she missed being pressed close. Dazed and dilated eyes rose to him and she gasped as he kissed her ankle. Then she dropped her head back and moaned at the declaration of intent. "God, yes. I want that."
The first time had stunned her with nervousness and uncertainty... only to end in pure bliss. It never ceased to drive her insane when he wanted to do this. "Alec..." Drawing his name out, she slowly slid her legs apart in offering.
Meeting his gaze again, she knew her own face was flush. "Have me, Alexander... however you want me."

Date: 2013-08-09 04:19 am (UTC)Brushing his lips against her fingers when she touched his face, he grinned as she tugged at his shirt. "Soon." After he'd left a mark on her neck. Sucking and nipping at a spot that he knew would probably show unless she wore something with a high collar, he smiled against her neck when she laughed.
Her reaction to his touch and his words made him want to please her even more. Seeing the dazed look in her eyes caused two memories to melt together... he'd been incredibly nervous the first times he'd done this, afraid he'd do something that would shock Magnus or that he'd disappoint her in some way. "I love touching you. Love tasting you."
His eyes darkened with need as he heard the desire in her voice, swallowing hard when he offered to let him do whatever he wished. She was beautiful in every way he could think of and she wanted him...
Pulling off his shirt, he ignored how his hands shook slightly as if this was their first time as he stripped off the rest of his clothes. Slowly, he slid his hands along her legs, tracing patterns and words over her skin, moving along her calves up to her thighs as he settled between her legs. "This isn't about me tonight. I want to make you happy."

Date: 2013-08-09 04:52 am (UTC)The mark would show. Hiding it never even occurred to her. She'd be more than happy to let them all see it and then they'd know she belonged to him and vice versa. It left her shaking with need as her body sank into the mattress. "I love you..." Breathing the words, she squirmed and gasped for air under him.
Goose flesh rippled over her skin when he first touched only to have the muscles quiver in delight under his hands and even when he pulled away. Molten gold stared at him as he pulled his shirt off and then she made a soft moan as he pulled the rest of his clothes off. "You're so gorgeous..."
Then those amazing hands were on her again. Opening up for him, she couldn't stop the slight squirm as her mind reminisced of all the amazing feelings to come. It left her flushed even before he started. It always did. "God help me... if you make me any happier tonight I will burst."
Grinning up at him, a loud purr followed as she shifted to settle long perfectly toned legs about him. "I want you to have fun too, Alexander..."

Date: 2013-08-11 12:32 am (UTC)Even with those memories, he was amazed at how Magnus always wanted him. After years of being in shadows, thinking he'd never find the one who was lost to him, he hadn't thought he'd find someone who fit him as perfectly as she did.
Flushing slightly at the compliment, he shook his head at the words. "You're the one who is gorgeous. Every part of you is beautiful. Body, heart, and soul." And she was even more beautiful when the shadows that had lingered in her eyes when they first met disappeared and she was truly happy.
Eyes bright with amusement, Alec nuzzled at her knee, lightly kissing soft skin. "That's not the reaction I'm hoping for." But it still made him smile as her purr became louder. Gently nipping at her thigh as Magnus wrapped her legs around him, he leaned forward to gently kiss first the mark on her pelvis, and then her stomach,. "I will, but I want to focus on you first."
