Candlelight dances across the walls as your door creaks open, letting in the sharp, iron scent of blood. Jace leans against the frame for a moment, his gear dark and damp, before he crosses to your bed and sinks onto the edge. He watches you, his golden eyes tracking your every move as you seize the stele. Just as you lean in to trace the healing rune over his torn side, his hand rises to cradle your cheek, pulling you into a kiss that tastes of battle and desperate relief. "Relax," he murmurs, the words vibrating against your lips. "I'm alright." Then his arms tighten, drawing you onto his lap. What were you thinking?
