Chapter 13

Alec enters the office, Izzy and Jace on the couch, his father sitting at the desk and his mother standing up by his side. Alec goes over and sits on the couch next to Izzy.

"The Soul Sword is gone." His mother states.

"What?" Izzy exclaims.

"The Sword is gone. The Clave doesn't know where it is and they want to keep it a secret until they can find it. Alec, I know we assigned you to watch over Magnus and his child but you cannot tell him about this." His father finishes.

"I can't tell him? This not only affects him and his child but the entire Downworld!" Alec states.

"Alec, calm down." his mother tells him.

"How can I cam down when you're putting my mate and child in danger?"

Everyone freezes, Alec's words hanging in the air. His muscles tense, waiting for the shock to wear off from his parents. His phone goes off, that when Alec leaves the room with his mother calling after him. In the hallway Alec looks at the text from Magnus. I'm in Washington Square Park.

Assuming that means he's done Alec goes to the first floor of the Institute, something telling him to take his weapons; Alec stocks up on arrows before walking out of the church and making his way to the park.

The park is unusually quiet, it is New York after all. Entering it he sees Magnus on the ground, someone above him. Sebastian. Notching an arrow Alec sends it flying, hitting the person who drugged Magnus in the stomach.

As Sebastian goes down Alec starts making his way to Magnus when he hears, "Do you really think I'm the only one after you and your kid Bane? HE wants you too, and when he comes be prepared to lose everything." Sebastian goes limp, his body turning into black ash, the wind carrying him away.

Magnus looks over at him. Reaching his mates Alec asks, "are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"You're doing your appointments at your loft from now on."

"Why?"

"So something like this doesn't happen again. I don't need to worry about you and our son every time you go out."

Alec picks Magnus up and starts walking out of the park towards the loft. "Let me make a portal home," Magnus begs.

Alec shakes his head. "No. We're taking the subway, I don't want to run the risk of him reporting to whoever where we're going and have someone or some demon coming to attack us."

"And taking the subway will prevent that?"

"It will make it a bit harder for him to try and make out where we're going for a little while."

Magnus concedes, allowing Alec to continue his way. On the train Alec keeps Magnus in his lap, his arms around the Warlock worrying that if he only has a light touch that Magnus will fade away and it will all be a dream, and in reality Magnus and their son is dead.

Magnus doesn't seem to mind as he nuzzles into Alec's neck, his arms (which he has around Alec's neck) tighten their hold as well. As if he's afraid that Alec will also disappear if he lets go.

When they get back to the loft Alec opens and closes the door, Magnus discards his quivers as Alec places his bow near the coat rack. The younger one is about to place Magnus down and let go when Magnus grabs him and pulls him into a kiss.

"Magnus," Alec says, voice rough and breathless. Magnus only hmm's in response as he makes his way along Alec's jaw, going up to his ear and giving it a little bite causing Alec's breath to hitch, before going down to his neck and paying special attention to his Deflect Rune. "We----we should stop. Until you've forgiven me and not running on adrenaline and fear."

Magnus pulls away to look Alec in the eyes. "Alexander," Magnus' breathless voice and hearing his mate calling him by his full name causes Alec to shiver and sends some of his blood from one head to the other. "I have forgiven you. And I am not doing this because our son and I could've died today and I have adrenaline in my system. Trust me those left me while we were on the train."

Magnus goes back to his work of leaving a hickey (hickeys?) on his neck, his hand lifting Alec's shirt up and leaving scratches on their way down as he sucks on Alec's neck. This causes Alec's eyes to roll back and let out a groan of pleasure.

Alec's hands go to Magnus' hips, lifting the shorter one's shirt, feeling smooth caramel skin. Alec then gently pushes Magnus away, Magnus looks at him curiously and has a little hurt look in his eyes. "Are you sure?" Alec pants. "I don't want you to regret anything."

Magnus' face softens as he comes closer and cups Alec's face. "I'm sure. Are you? I know my scent is starting to go noticed by others and I can't imagine what it's like for you right now."

"I do want this."

Alec captures Magnus' lips with his. Using his strength he picks Magnus up and places him against the nearest wall. Alec leaves his mates lips and goes for his neck, sucking and licking and blowing at the mating bite, liking how it causes Magnus to whimper, moan, and rut against him; seeking friction.

Not that Alec can complain, both of their hard dicks are covered by their underwear and pants which isn't helping much. Unzipping Magnus' pants Alec's hand sneaks in and takes his dick out, circling the tip with his thumb before giving the length a few strokes, giving it a hard jerk before leaving it.

"Alexander, Alexander," Magnus chants his name. Is he trying to make him dizzy with blood loss in his brain and make his dick harder? The older man whimpers at the loss of the taller man's hand.

"Yes?" Alec starts nipping at the sensitive skin surrounding the bite on Magnus' neck.

Magnus continues to whimper. "We----we sh-should g-go t-to t-the b-bedroom."

"Did I just hear the High Warlock of Brooklyn stutter?" Alec can feel Magnus shudder. He pulls back to see Magnus' eyes closed, his face showing how lost in ecstasy he is. Alec wants to keep that look on Magnus' face permanently.

"Pl-please!"

"What if I don't want to? What if I want to love you here and all over the other places in the loft before I take you to the bedroom?"

"Then get on with it!"

Alec is only able to get rid of their shoes, socks, pants, and underwear before Magnus pulls him up and kisses him with fever and need. Alec responds and tries to deepen the kiss. His tongue comes out and licks Magnus' lips for entrance. Magnus denies him. Alec keeps licking hoping Magnus will open his lips and when it proves to be a losing battle Alec sticks one finger in Magnus' entrance, the other hand working on his mates dick as Alec starts sucking on his neck.

The noises Magnus makes right in his ear makes it very hard for Alec to concentrate on what he's doing. Magnus' voice deep and rough with lust calling his name, asking for more fingers and for him to go harder as he lifts his hips, back arching, thrusting into Alec's hand.

Alec stops stroking Magnus' dick and his finger no longer stroking his insides. "Alexander, more! Please!" Magnus starts going down on his fingers, trying to thrust into the Alpha's hand, looking for the pleasure he's lost.

Alec removes his finger from Magnus' hole, putting it on his hips to stop the Warlock from thrusting into his other hand, which he uses to hold Magnus' hands over his head. "Patients is a virtue." Alec whispers before he places his cock at Magnus' sweet, wet entrance. He pushes in slowly, watching as Magnus' face shows pain due to not being stretched enough, before turning into pleasure. "I would love to keep that look on your face."

"What look?"

"Your pleasured look."

"I only have that look reserved for you. If others saw it I'm not sure you'd like it too much."

Alec just smirks as he clamps his mouth down on Magnus' neck. When he's fully inside he waits for Magnus to give the word before he starts moving. When Magnus does Alec starts out with a slow and steady rhythm, not wanting to cause Magnus anymore pain.

"Alexander, faster, harder," Magnus breathes.

Alec listens to the command and picks up his pace. Soon the pace starts losing as Magnus' moans and groans become louder and his knot starts to grow. Alec only has his tip in and about to take both his and Magnus' dicks into his hand and finish them off when he feels a hand on his shoulder.

Looking at his mate he sees him shaking his head. "Don't. I want your knot."

"Are you sure?"

"If you don't get in me right now I put us on the floor, me on top, and fuck myself on you." While the image makes Alec want to give in to temptation, Magnus riding him is not what he has intended. The taller man slams back in, causing a grunt from Magnus. He looks up hoping that he hasn't cause Magnus any pain. When he sees none he keeps going until Magnus' channel is clenching around him as his orgasm hits causing Magnus' cum to cover their shirts and triggers Alec's orgasm, emptying his load in his mate.

"That. . . . was. . . . some. . . . the. . . . best. . . . sex. . . . I've. . . . ever. . . . had." Magnus pants.

"Oh?" Alec looks up and sees that the sweat has caused Magnus' make-up to smear, the mascara and eyeliner running down his face. the sweat making his fitted sweater cling to his muscles making the top look like a second skin much like his pants.

"Yes." Magnus winces as Alec pulls out, his knot not fully deflated. A glow comes from Magnus' eyes and Alec realizes that his glamour must have dropped while they were in the throes of passion.

"Well," Alec smirks, "I hope you can recover quickly. I'm not done with you."

"For now, you're going to have to be. I have clients until six."

"Fine. But I'm staying. I don't want any of them to try anything."

"Pain or seductively?"

"Both."

Magnus waves his hand and they're both no longer sweaty, shirts no longer clinging to their skin, hair no longer damp, their pants and shoes back on, the cum stains from Magnus gone. (Which disappoints Alec as he wants Magnus to wear the stain to show others that he's taken.)

Alec puts Magnus' legs down, helping the older man steady himself. "Are you all right?"

"Yes. You just released a huge load and it's starting to spill out of me." Magnus smirks when he sees Alec's blush.

"I'll----um----stay in the other room if you like, while you conduct business in here."

Magnus quirks an eyebrow. 'Who said I was staying here to do my work?"

"I did. After Sebastian tricked us by being disguised as one of your clients, I don't want to take the risk of someone coming after you and our son and causing either of you harm." Alec repeats himself from earlier. Not that he expects Magnus to have been listening, who can when it seems that a person and their child may die and their blood is still rushing through their veins?

"Fine. I'll let my clients know that because of doctor's orders I can only retain doing business in my loft until further notice."

Alec can see how trapped Magnus feels. If Sebastian hadn't revealed himself today and nearly ended the lives of Magnus and their son then Alec would still allow Magnus to venture out of the loft, not by Magnus' side but since it did he wants to keep both of them safe.

"But you're not staying in the other room. You can wait out on the balcony, shirt off and bandages showing so they can assume that we've done business about your wound."

Alec wonders if Magnus asking him to be shirtless is something that Magnus wants and isn't necessary. Then again Magnus is a centuries old Warlock so he must have some idea what he's doing.

An hour later Alec is sitting out on a chair on the balcony, shirt off and gauze showing. The doors are open so Alec can listen in. A moment later the front door opens and closes a woman's voice greeting Magnus and he in return. Alec has his bow in his lap, quiver by his side in case he's needed.

--

By six that evening Alec has been outside for most of the day. The sun is starting to set as Alec re-enters the loft and goes to the kitchen to start making dinner. Magnus is in his study going over payments from the day. Alec is glad that none of Magnus' clients didn't try anything on his mate.

(Of course there were a couple of men and women respectively who touched Magnus in a flirtatious way; one on the arm, one on his neck and chest, one touched his thigh, and the final one touched Magnus on his back, pulling him closer. It took one look from Magnus and al of Alec's strength to restrain himself and not go in and confront the people. He had to remind himself that Magnus knows what he's doing and can handle himself.)

Alec looks through the cabinets, fridge, and freezer to see what he can make for dinner. He decides on making some penne pasta with chicken, cheese, and an herb that he can't remember the name of. (He's a warrior, leader, and as of recent mate/father, before being a cook.)

Thirty minutes later Magnus comes out of his study as Alec is putting the pasta on two plates and is about to take Magnus his. "Let's eat outside tonight." Magnus says, not leaving any room for argument.

Alec doesn't mind the command. He picks up their plates and follow Magnus out to the balcony, where his mate decides to sit on the leather couch. The Shadowhunter places the plates in front of them as he sits down and Magnus waves his hand causing a bottle to appear. Alec gives Magnus a look for summoning an alcoholic drink.

"Don't worry, it's sparkling grape juice. It won't cause any harm to our son." Magnus reassures. He opens the bottle pouring each of them a glass as they begin to eat. They get halfway through eating and emptying the bottle of juice when Magnus lays his head on Alec's shoulder; kind of. His head is starting to drupe so half of it is on Alec's shoulder and the other on his chest. Alec places an arm around Magnus' waist, his hand resting over their son growing in Magnus' womb.

"We should go inside." says Alec as a light breeze starts blowing, leaving goosebumps on his skin.

"You wouldn't be so cold if you put a shirt one." Magnus retorts. Magnus does have a point but Alec hasn't been wearing a shirt for hours that he forgot that he's not even wearing one. Magnus groans nonetheless moving as he breaks their entrance. The shorter man takes their glasses as Alec takes their plates.

Inside Alec can feel Magnus' stare on him as he cleans the dishes and rinses out the two wine glasses from the sparkling grape juice. 'Is there something wrong?" Alec asks as he finishes. Turning to face the Warlock Alec sees how he has his glamour down. Alec suddenly has trouble breathing.

"You told me earlier that you weren't finished with me. You also told me that you want to sleep with me on every surface of this loft. Or do you not want to do that anymore?"

"I-I do, Raziel knows I do. . . ." Alec doesn't get to finish as Magnus uses his magic to bring back the cum stain on his shirt and to dampen his sweater. Alec gulps.

He doesn't get much reaction time as Magnus captures his lips in a searing kiss. Magnus removes his belt and unzips his pants; his hand sneaking in and starts rubbing circles into his dick. Alec groans in pleasure.

"I could feel cum coming out of me while I was with my clients, I want you, Alexander. Do you want me Alexander? Do you want to take me on every surface of this loft?" Magnus whispers huskily in his ear as his skilled hand works his cock.

". . . . Yes. . . ."

"Then take me."

Magnus snaps his hands banishing their clothes completely. Alec hoists his lover up (he really needs to talk to Magnus about where they stand in their relationship status soon) on the counter, breaking the kiss and going down Magnus' neck.

"Alexander! Alexander!" Magnus praises him.

Alec circles Magnus' rim with his index finger eliciting a deep moan from the father of his child. Alec swears that Magnus is only doing this to get him to pass out due to lack of blood flow.

"Alexander, enough teasing, I'm still open from earlier."

Alec bites his lip feeling his lover starting to lubricate, the sweet juice of his lover starting to cover him. Pulling out his finger Alec moves down and starts licking around Magnus' hole, Magnus' hands in his hair as his go to his Magnus' hips. Magnus lets out a chorus of 'ooh's' and 'ah's' as Alec's tongue enters the wet space, his teeth coming out to nip at the surrounding skin every now and then.

"Alexander if you don't stop----!"

Alec removes his mouth from Magnus; he looks up to see that sweat has started forming around his forehead and chest, his eyes snapped shut, chest moving up and down as he tries to catch his breath.

Alec braces his hands on the counter as he aligns himself with Magnus starting to push in. Both of them groaning and grunting. While Magnus is still a little loose from earlier he is still mostly tight. Once fully inside Alec waits a moment before he starts moving in and out. Before long Alec can feel his knot starting to grow as Magnus gets wetter. Finally hitting Magnus' sweet spot Alec starts an assault causing his and Magnus' visions to go white, Magnus cumming all over them and him cumming inside Magnus.

"I think I can go for one more round, after we recover. As much as I would like to try another place, I would much rather take it to the bedroom."

"Okay," Alec breathes out as he pulls out, his knot still a little full. "Would you like me to carry you?"

"I think I can walk."

Alec helps Magnus down, the older man grabbing his face and pulling him into a kiss, pulling away with a smile on his face. Magnus leads Alec back to the bedroom to continue; it's all fine with smiles, kissing, and laughing until his back hits the mattress.

Magnus starts kissing along his jaw when Alec's mind clears a little bit and he realizes where he is. He freezes, recalling the last time he was in this bed with Magnus in this exact way. Magnus takes notice. "Are you all right?" He looks Alec in the eye.

"Are----are you positive you want to continue?"

"Yes, why? Do you not want to?"

"N-no, I do."

"Then what's the problem? Is this about what happened about five months ago?" Alec nods. "Alexander, I've forgiven you for walking out. I don't even regret what we did. We can stop if you want to."

"N-no. We can continue."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Magnus starts working down his throat, sucking every so often. Until Magnus gets to his pulse point where Magnus pays special attention. Alec loves it, he wants to surrender to the pleasure but he can't, and Magnus seems to sense it. "Alexander, are you sure you want to continue?"

"Yes. it's just----I----"

"You haven't forgiven yourself, have you? You still don't think I've forgiven you, do you?" Alec nods. "I guess I'll have to show you how forgiven you are, and why you should forgive yourself too."

Alec's hands are no longer at his sides or around Magnus instead they're above his head, an invisible force has them bound together and to the headboard. Magnus is in his lap rubbing his ass against his half-softened dick, Magnus' own dick already hard and pink, some of it turning red; teasing Alec, wanting to be jerked, stroked, or sucked.

Alec bites down on his lip trying to keep himself from leaning up to try to get his mates dick anywhere near his mouth. Magnus lifts himself up and starts sinking down on Alec inch by inch. His hands on Alec's chest, scratching downwards as he goes down. Alec's hips snap up, wanting to be inside Magnus.

"Still your hips, Alexander, or I will get off of you and leave you hard and wanting all night." Alec starts digging his hips into the bed, trying to keep from arching up. Soon Magnus starts moving p and down, causing them to moan and groan in pleasure. Alec wants Magnus to start moving to his sweet spot, that Alec knows he is missing on purpose.

Magnus' head drops to his shoulder and Alec will give anything to wrap his arms around Magnus and keep them in their current position. "I can mark you as mine, if you want." Magnus says.

Alec tries to think with Magnus using him for his own pleasure. He's already marked Magnus as his mate, Magnus is carrying his child and only four months away from giving birth, he can feel Magnus through their bond.

"Yes." Magnus bites down and Alec lets out a hiss from the pain before it turns to pleasure. Magnus pulls away to examine his work before he starts finishing, moving up and down rapidly; not carrying that Alec is snapping his hips up anymore. Then they're both cumming.

Magnus is resting his head on Alec's chest as they catch their breathes. "If. . . . that. . . . is. . . . you. . . . forgiving. . . . I'd. . . . hate. . . . to. . . . see. . . . what. . . . it. . . . looks. . . . like. . . . when. . . . you. . . . aren't. Or. . . . when. . . . you're. . . . just. . . . giving. . . . thanks." Alec pants before he can finally breathe. Magnus rolls off to the side. "I should go."

"Go where?"

"Back to the couch."

Magnus pulls the sheets over them, one leg going between Alec's and an arm going over the young archer's chest. "Please don't." Magnus says. "Stay."

Alec brings an arm around Magnus' waist. "Are you sure? It isn't an issue."

"Stay. Just as long as you promise not to leave in the morning without waking me or leaving some sort of message."

"I promise." Magnus nestles his face into Alec's neck, keeping a firm grip as Alec pulls him closer and holds him tighter, sleep consuming them.

To be continued...
