Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)

by Cassandra Clare

He grinned. It lit up his face, changed it. Sophie stared at him. He was not beautiful like Jem was, but he was very handsome, especially when he smiled. The smile seemed to reach out and touch her heart, speeding its pace. He is a Shadowhunter, she thought. And a gentleman. This is not the way to think about him. Stop it. But she could not stop, any more than she had been able to put Jem out of her mind. Though, where with Jem she had felt safe, with Gideon she felt an excitement like lightning that coursed up and down her veins, shocking her. And yet she did not want to let it go. “I speak Spanish when I’m in a good mood,” he said. “You might as well know that about me.” “So it wasn’t that you were so weary of my ineptitude that you were wishing to hurl yourself off the roof?” “Just the opposite.” He leaned closer to her. His eyes were the green-gray of a stormy sea. “Sophie? Might I ask you something?” She knew she should correct him, ask him to call her Miss Collins, but she didn’t. “I—yes?” “Whatever happens with the lessons—might I see you again?”

Ahhhh Gideon is so adorable. 🥹🥹🥹 like a big fluffy teddy bear 🧸 🧸
