"Bukannya menjawab, Alec meraih ke bawah dan mengambil tangan Magnus. Magnus membiarkan Alec menariknya berdiri, tatapan bertanya di matanya. Sebelum dia bisa mengatakan apa-apa, Alec mendekatinya dan menciumnya. Magnus mengeluarkan suara lembut, senang, dan mencengkeram bagian belakang kemeja Alec, mengacungkannya, jari-jarinya terasa dingin di punggung Alec.

Alec leaned into him, pinning Magnus between the table and his own body. Not that Magnus seemed to mind. 'Come on,' Alec said against Magnus's ear. 'It's late. Let's go to bed.
