Jace tilted his head, considering. "No. I don't feel like I have to. I just... if it's really okay, and it's not a sign that I'm, you know, fucked up. There's so MUCH I want to try, Alec," Jace said with a laugh. "I'd rather try it on my own than have the city make me do it anyways."

Jace snorted. "I figured you could."

Jace made a low sound as Alec looked at him, and dropped one hand to brush over Alec's shoulder, his whole body shivering when Alec's mouth moved on his body and then a sudden, bitten off curse when Alec swallowed him down, trying to go still and not buck his hips up.
