Edward laced his fingers through mine and led us over to his family. I was dreading having to talk to his parents, especially after they caught us kissing! And Emmett...oh my God, I knew he would have to say something about that. Things had changed so much for me in the past couple of days. Had I not met Edward, I wouldn't be here right now. Ordinarily, I would be in my room, playing my guitar. But now, things weren't ordinary anymore. Believe it or not, meeting Edward had completely overturned my world as I knew it. I didn't quite know how to handle it, but I liked it. Who would have thought three days ago that shy, geeky Jasper would have a boyfriend?

Reaching Edward's parents, with Emmett and Rose standing with them, I became so nervous my hands started to tremble. Edward squeezed my hand gently, trying to reassure me that everything was going to be okay. I was scared as hell. Never before had I dreamed that I would be meeting another man's parents, much less after them catching us kissing. As we stopped in front of them, Emmett clapped me on the back.

"Good on ya, my man," he boomed, winking at me, and I looked to Rose for help. I was, however, disappointed to see a great big fucking smile on her face. Damn it all to hell, so much for that.

"Jasper," Edward said then, "these are my parents, Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Mom, Dad, this is Jasper Whitlock, my boyfriend." He smiled radiantly at me, and I gave him a small smile in return.

Carlisle, who looked to be in his late forties, smiled and held his hand out for me to shake. "I'm so glad to meet the man who has made my son so giddy these past few days," he said, winking. Now I knew where Emmett had gotten his playfulness from, not to mention his dark hair and eyes.

Shyly, I shook Carlisle's hand as Edward let out an exasperated groan from beside me.

"Fuckin' hell, Dad!" he exclaimed. "Giddy?" He was clearly embarrassed. Emmett snickered from behind his hand and Edward flipped him off. "Shut it, you," he said, throwing Emmett a dirty look.

There was only one way to describe Esme Cullen. I know I'm a gay man and all, but she was fucking beautiful. She had shoulder length wavy bronze hair and brilliant green eyes, just like Edward. There was no doubt who he took after! Esme interrupted my musings about her beauty by holding her hand out to me.

"It's good to meet you, son," she said with a soft smile.

I took her hand and shook it gently. "It's very nice...um...to meet you guys too," I said, lowering my head.

There was a slight awkward silence before Edward looked over to Emmett and asked, "Is everything ready to go?"

Emmett nodded. "Yep, little brother. You ready to go home now?"

"Yeah, I think I need a shower," Edward answered, gesturing to his clothes.

Emmett held his nose dramatically. "I think you do, too."

"Shut the fuck up!" Edward laughed, and pulled me by the hand around Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme. "I'm walking Jasper to the car," he called over his shoulder, and we heard laughter from behind us. Edward towed me to the passenger door of Rose's car, where I leaned back against it. "Don't go anywhere, darlin'," Edward told me, "and I'll be right back."

"Alright," I said quietly. Edward walked off and disappeared around the back of the horse trailer. I breathed a sigh of relief that the meeting of the parents was over. It was fucking horrible, and I was so embarrassed, I wanted to disappear into the arena floor.

Before I knew it, Edward was back, holding the ribbon he had won today. He stepped in front of me, and I looked down at the gravel between our feet. I was suddenly feeling very shy again, overwhelmed at everything that had went on today.

"Jasper, look up here at me," Edward said softly.

I looked up into his gorgeous green eyes and he held his ribbon out to me. "I want you to have this, darlin'," he said. "I told you I would win for you, and I did, so you get this."

Stunned, I managed to stammer out, "Edward...I...um...couldn't take your ribbon. You earned it."

"And I want you to have it, beautiful," he told me, his eyes burning into mine with his sincerity.

The only thing I could do was just smile softly at him. He was so fucking sweet!

Taking the ribbon from him, I looked down at it. It had Edward and Pal's names on it, with the date. I knew I would cherish it, as simple as it was. It seemed like this day marked something new for me. Maybe I could actually be normal for a change. The thought brought me hope.

Beaming, I looked up from the ribbon to Edward, and whispered, "Thank you, Edward."

Edward closed the distance between us, taking me into his arms. He felt so good against me, and I inhaled his scent.

"Mmm..." I breathed involuntarily, and felt my face get hot again. I could feel Edward chuckle against me, and he leaned back to see my face.

"My thoughts exactly," he murmured. "I am so glad you came today, Jasper."

"Me too," I whispered. Hell, that's all I could manage was a whisper with the way Edward's eyes were roaming my face. He was looking at me like he would never see me again, and he wanted to memorize the way I looked. I was a little embarrassed by his scrutiny, but when I stared back into his eyes, somehow I forgot all that.

"How did I get so fucking lucky, darlin'?" he asked.

"Huh?" Was my intelligent reply.

Edward chuckled. "To get a boyfriend as stunning and sweet as you?"

I smiled softly, and Edward leaned in and kissed me gently. He lingered on my lips for a moment, and I used the opportunity to touch his mouth with the very tip of my tongue. With a low sound coming up from his throat, Edward tilted his head and let his tongue slide slowly into my mouth. Again, I was surrounded by his mint and sunshine taste. It was heady, and very addicting.

We kissed slowly for a moment, then Edward gently pulled away. "I have to go now, beautiful, but I'll call ya later," he told me softly before talking a step back.

Nodding at Edward, I said, "I'm looking forward to it."

After that day at the barrel races, things changed a lot for me. I still stayed in the house as much as possible, doing the same things I always did, but now there was just one difference. Edward was in the forefront of my mind all the time. No matter what I was doing, he was there. Sure, we talked on the phone and shit, but when I would be playing my guitar, I would find the melody becoming unbearably sweet. Then, I would realize I was thinking of Edward.

Before I knew it, a month had passed. It was a blur, but it had been the best month of my life so far. Edward and I had went out a couple of times, and even hung out at each others houses. He wanted me to ride Pal the last time I was over at the Cullens', but I was not going there! No fucking way! I was just too fucking scared for that. Maybe sometime in the future, but not right now.

Also over the course of the month, our physical relationship had strengthened somewhat. No, we weren't fucking, and hell, we hadn't even touched each other yet. All we had done is kiss each other on our mouths and necks. Did I want more? Yes, I did. There had been many times we would be making out in either his room or mine, hell, even in the barn, and I had to hold myself back from grinding my hard cock against him. I wanted to so much, but I was afraid Edward would reject my advances, and that would break me. Also, I was having a hard time keeping myself from cumming in my pants when Edward would suck on that certain spot on my neck.

Currently, we were in my room, making out as usual, and Edward was kissing me senseless. He skimmed his lips across my cheek, down my jaw, and onto my neck, letting me breathe. My breath was coming out in soft pants, and they sounded loud in my ears. I guess Edward didn't care, though, because he kept up his kissing and lightly sucking on my neck. It felt so good. Everywhere his lips and tongue touched me left a tingly heat that gave me goosebumps and awakened my cock.

I knew my face was red, but I couldn't bring myself to care. Edward was giving me feelings I didn't know were real. Never have I felt anything like this. This was the first time we made out without shirts on, and I couldn't believe how incredible Edward's skin felt against mine. He was so warm, and soft, and tanned from being in the sun with no shirt. I wanted to lick him, just to see if he tasted as good as he looked.

Suddenly Edward was scooting down and kissing along my collarbones. My breathing sped up and I arched my back off the bed. I dug my fingers into Edward's shoulders, and when he licked against the hollow of my throat, I moaned softly. "Jasper," Edward breathed against my skin, and I shivered. "You taste delicious..."

"God, Edward," I panted. "You....oh!" I cried as Edward suddenly licked my nipple once then sucked it into his warm, wet mouth. I was shocked at the feeling that was coursing through me as he alternated between gently sucking and flicking my nipple with his tongue. The fire I felt raging under my skin raced to my cock, and, unbelievably, I felt very close to orgasm.

When Edward moved over to my other nipple, kissing along the way, and sucked it into his mouth, I cried out again and arched my back. My toes curled involuntarily and my hands kneaded Edward's back. The sensations were too much, and I was breathing hard. "Edward..." I gasped, and he looked up at me. His lips were red and wet from his ministrations on me, and I had to squeeze my eyes closed.

"What's the matter, Jasper?" he asked, his dark eyes concerned.

"I'm afraid..." I said, turning my head to the side. How was I supposed to tell him I was about to cum if he didn't stop? To be honest, though, I didn't want him to stop. His soft chuckle made me look at him. His eyes were hooded and dark with desire, and he was smirking.

"Are you close, darlin'?" he asked in a whisper, and I nodded, too embarrassed to say anything.

Edward's eyes lit up and he breathed out "Good..." before attacking my stomach with his mouth. Oh fuck! He was determined to make me cum! As he sucked, licked, and nipped along my stomach, he was moaning against my skin. I was writhing underneath him, drawing in deep ragged breaths.

Then, Edward started whispering to me against my skin as he continued further down. He accentuated his sucking and nipping with words like "beautiful" and "tastes divine". I slid my hands into his hair and pushed my head back into the pillows. My release was coming, I could feel it, and there was nothing I could do to stop it now.

By the time Edward reached my navel, where he dipped his tongue inside, flicking it, I was making a keening noise in the back of my throat. That just spurred Edward on and he started kissing along my happy trail. "Oh, Jasper..." he breathed, and licked slowly along the waistline of my jeans.

Suddenly, I was there. Arching my back and crying out over and over as stars exploded behind my eyelids, I came undone. I could feel the wet, sticky mess in my boxers, but at that moment, I didn't care. I was flying, and Edward had given me the wings.

When I was spent, I lay there trying to control my breathing, and Edward crawled up my body to lay beside me. I closed my eyes and he traced my cheekbone with his finger. "Jasper, look at me," he said quietly, and I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head to face him. I was so fucking embarrassed.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked. "There's no need to be embarrassed because I gave you pleasure."

"B-but," I stammered, "I didn't...touch you...or anything. I made a...fool of myself...in front of you."

Edward laughed softly, and kissed my forehead. "No, Jasper, you didn't."

Scooting away from Edward, I sat up, putting my face in my hands. Edward sat up behind me. "Hey," he said softly, "I have an idea. Do you want to get out of here? We could go outside and talk, or something. Get some fresh air."

Silently, I nodded. Edward leaned over and softly kissed my neck before getting off the bed. "I'll be waiting on the porch, darlin'."

Edward left the room and I took my hands away from my face. What kind of fucking freak was I? I just couldn't believe that happened to me. I know I wasn't a virgin or anything, but then again, I have never felt the way Edward made me feel. He set a fire in me unlike anything I ever knew existed. Was I falling in love with him? Yes, I think so. If only I could get over the embarrassment! I hated it, but didn't know how to make it stop.

Sighing, I got off my bed and headed into the bathroom to clean up. Once finished with that rather embarrassing and nasty task, I left my room to go meet Edward on the porch. As I walked through the living room, Rose and Emmett were sitting on the couch with a movie on. When I walked by, Rose buried her face in Emmett's arm and Emmett covered his mouth, stifling his snickers.

I stopped walking and looked at them, annoyed. "What the fuck is so funny?" I demanded.

"Little brother," Rose said, her voice muffled by Emmett's arm, "you weren't exactly quiet up there."

Feeling my face get hot, I yelled, "Oh fucking hell!" Really pissed now, I got out of there in a hurry. I walked right past Edward on the porch and headed for the woods at the side of our yard. Fucking Rose and Emmett! As if I weren't embarrassed enough!

I could hear Edward calling me, and I knew he was following me into the woods, but I didn't stop walking until I reached an old stump far enough in the woods where I couldn't be seen from the house. Plopping myself down, I put my face in my hands. How could this day get any worse?

Edward caught up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Jazz, what happened, darlin'?"

"Emmett...and Rose...heard me upstairs," I told Edward from behind my hands. "They thought it was...exceptionally funny..."

Edward's hand tightened on my shoulder for a second, then he let me go. I swear, I could feel his anger. "Motherfucker!" Edward yelled, then, making me jump. "I have a few words for those assholes!"

Moving my hands from my face, I looked at Edward to see him looking around toward the house. His cheeks were flushed in anger, his eyes flashing. "Stop, Edward," I soothed. "Don't worry about it. I'll think of something..." I stood, then, getting pissed with myself because Edward was pissed at Emmett and Rose. If I wasn't so fucking shy, none of this shit would have happened. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. I was gonna prove to myself that I wasn't a shy little geek.

I turned to Edward then, grabbing his shoulders roughly and pushing him down onto the stump. He looked at me with wide eyes, and I smirked at him. "Don't speak," I told him, then kissed him, hard. I demanded entrance to his mouth, and he gave it. While I was sweeping his mouth with my tongue, he was tentatively doing the same to me. I pulled back just long enough to say, "Dammit, Edward, kiss me back," then continued the urgent kiss.

Edward didn't hold back on me this time, and I groaned into his mouth. I was so fucking turned on, and I started opening the buttons on Edward's shirt. He took my hands in his and pulled back. "Jasper, what the-- "

I cut him off with another kiss, put his hands on my hips, and continued with his shirt. "Shut up, Edward," I growled out, and pushed his shirt off his shoulders. I briefly scanned the gorgeous chest displayed to me, then leaned right over and sucked Edward's nipple into my mouth. He cried out and pushed his hands into my hair, arching into me. He tasted just as good as I thought he would, as I sucked, licked, and flicked his nipple with my tongue.

When I had him writhing against me, I moved over and gave his other nipple the same attention. He cried out my name, and it urged me on. Letting his nipple go, I dropped to my knees in between his legs and started kissing and sucking along his stomach. I could feel his muscles contract against my mouth and tongue, and I looked up at him. His mouth was open in a silent cry and he was panting...hard.

I continued licking and sucking his lightly sweaty skin, reveling in the salty taste. Finally, I reached the waist of his jeans and I popped the button, casting my eyes up to see his reaction. His eyes were wide and he was shaking his head. As I yanked open the rest of the buttons, he panted out, "Jasper...you don't..."

"Edward," I growled out again, "shut the fuck up..." I looked down and realized Edward was going commando. Perfect. Leaning my face down, I buried my nose in his short, soft curls, inhaling deeply. He smelled like Heaven, and it made my mouth water. Edward let go of my hair and propped back on his hands. I looked up at him again, and he was watching me with eyes so dark, they almost looked black. "You smell like Heaven, love," I said softly, then reached my hand in to pull out his cock.

Edward gasped as my hand took hold of and freed him from his jeans. I stared at his magnificent cock, licking my lips and humming in approval. It was long, thick, and hard, pulsing for me. Skimming my nose up his length, I hummed again. "Mmm...so fucking sweet..."

"Jasper..." Edward moaned out, "oh my God..."

"Not quite, love, but I can be...." I breathed out, letting my breath wash over his cock before trailing my tongue around the ridge at his head. God, he tasted amazing. I then sucked his head into my mouth, gathering his droplets of precum on my tongue. Immediately, I was addicted, and I had to have more.

Training my eyes on Edward's face, I slowly took his whole length in my mouth, pressing my tongue against the side all the way down. Edward was almost hyperventilating, his mouth opening and closing as if he were trying to say something. I hollowed my cheeks, sucking gently all the way back up, then let him go. He whimpered at me, and I smirked. "Patience..." I breathed, and blew lightly on the tip of his cock. It twitched for me and I smiled. "Get ready baby, cause I'm gonna rock your world."

Before Edward had a chance to reply, I pushed my mouth down over his cock once again. He let out a long, low moan, and I began sucking him in earnest. Bobbing my head, I took him all the way into my throat each time. In no time, I had him moaning and crying out. He was breathing so hard, I was afraid he was gonna faint, but the sight of him almost made me come undone.

It wasn't long before Edward was gasping out, "Gonna cum..."

My response was to swallow around his head on my next down-stroke. Edward arched his back and tried to buck into my mouth as he released his warm seed in me. I swallowed every bit while holding his hips down. When he was spent, I licked the head of his softening cock once then tucked him back into his jeans. He slid off the stump and sat next to me on the forest floor, trying to control his breathing.

Suddenly, I realized what I had just done and I buried my face in my hands. Edward pulled me into his arms and I buried my face in his chest. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "I shouldn't have done that to you without asking anything. I was just so fucking pissed at Rose and Emmett for making fun of me...I wish I weren't so shy!"

I didn't realize I was crying until Edward tilted my face up and wiped my tears with his thumbs. "Jasper, it's alright, darlin'," he told me. "I love your shyness and that beautiful blush that graces your cheeks. It's part of you, and I..."

He trailed off, smiling. A beautiful breathtaking smile lit his whole face up. A sense of realisation washed over him and I just stared at him, waiting to see what he was going to say. His eyes sparkled at me. "I love you, Jasper," he said so softly, almost as though he had to say it to himself to believe it. "Jasper, I love you." He said it again, stronger this time.

I weakly smiled at him, unsure if this was some warped dream. He rubbed my cheek gently, his eyes pooling with so much hidden depth. Edward leaned down, resting his forehead against mine. "Oh God," he said, and a tear fell from his lashes onto my nose. "I am in love with you."

More tears escaped my eyes and I felt a tightening in my chest. Edward was in love with me? I'm just Jasper....shy, geeky, fucked up Jasper. How could he love me? Looking into Edward's teary eyes, I realized it didn't matter how, or why, all that mattered was that he loved me. And in that moment, I knew I loved him too. Feeling the heat flush over my whole body, I felt like my heart was swelling, taking my breath.

Slowly and gently cupping Edward's face in my hands, I took his lips in a soft, open mouthed kiss. He smiled gently at me, slow tears coursing down his cheeks. "Edward," I breathed, looking directly into his eyes, "I'm in love with you too." Giving him a watery smile, I said, "I love you, Edward...."

He closed his eyes then, and pressed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes as Edward pressed sweet, tender kisses all over my face. In between his kisses he was murmuring to me that he loved me, just the way I am, and to never change. He told me he loves my shyness and awkwardness, and that I didn't have anything to prove to him. And with every word, every kiss, I loved him more and more. I could just be myself, and he would love me.

Finally, he pulled back and wiped my face free of our tears. I did the same for him, then he stood and pulled me to my feet as well. "Are you ready to go back to the house, beautiful?" he asked me with a smile. "There's something I have to do."

Frowning, I nodded, wondering what the hell he was on about. Smiling at me, he took my hand and started leading us back through the woods toward the house.

"What is it you have to do?" I asked, and he chuckled.

"Well, first, I have to tell the news that I am in love with you." His words caused a pang to go through my chest that I could only describe as love. "Then," he continued, "I'm gonna talk to Emmett and Rosalie about the way they make fun of you. I just won't have it anymore."

My eyes widened. Oh shit!

Well, there ya go! I hope ya'll enjoyed it! Leave me a review and let me know!!
