Chapter 7
Previously: He jumps when there's suddenly a hand on his shoulder and a soft brush against his ear as a voice breathes, "What's the rush, Jasper? Still looking to get laid?"
"Ah, what the hell?" Jasper yells, turning to the voice abruptly.
Riley grins beside him. "Did I startle you? I saw you running into the woods and it looked like you were in desperate need for some alone time, you know?" He waggles his eyebrows.
That's just stupid. "What about the term 'alonetime' don't you understand?" Jasper asks him angrily. The alone part is what he really needs, time away from others—one in particular—to sort out his thoughts. Like, what did Edward's expression mean?
Riley frowns. "Okay, I'll get off your back if that's what you really want. But if you could use a hand—you know—I'm willing, is all I'm saying."
Jasper's sudden anger deflates. "No, I'm sorry; I got angry. I didn't intend to be mean to you. It's just, you're not really my type?" He says it like a question to take the edge off.
"Then what's your type? Could it be tall, green eyes, and long dreads?"
Jasper panics; is he that easy to read? "What? No! Edward has a boyfriend!"
"Oh, Edward? I didn't say any names!" Riley says, still in his face. "And isn't a hand only a hand after all?"
Jasper gulps as Riley sees him wavering, and leans closer, brushing his hand over Jasper's pants and up to where there's still semihardess to be found.
The feeling of another hand close to his dick, an unwelcome hand, causes Jasper to panic and slap it away. "Hey!"
"Okay," Riley says, backing away slowly before turning around to leave with the parting words, "I'll be here the whole camp if you change your mind."
Finally alone, Jasper groans into his hands after adjusting his dick. He will not wank to the image of Edward pounding his boyfriend—he will not do it! His traitorous dick does not agree with him, so he gets up and goes for a quick walk instead; getting his blood pumping is the best way to clear his head.
He eventually ends up on the football field, feeling much calmer about his situation. Avoiding Edward is out of the question. With all his experience, he's like a goldmine to Jasper. From now on he's focusing on what he's here for and not trivial things like guys.
Determinedly, he walks into the gym to locate Bella and finds her eating together with Alice.
Seeing his face, Bella's laughter stills. "What's wrong?" she asks immediately, getting up and hugging him briefly.
He whispers in her ear, "Later."
She glances at him and nods, sitting down beside Alice again as he gets himself some food and joins them, listening to their excited discussion on the empowerment workshop. They seem to have bonded over it.
In the afternoon, Jasper is leading a workshop himself—a vegetarian cooking class—and it's late when he's finally finished with it. He's never held a class before and after his students had eaten what they'd made, they'd all ended up having a long discussion on the benefits of vegetarian living on the environment.
He's full of an excitement that's making him almost high as he exits the Home Ec room. It's so good to be among others, sharing ideas and thoughts without always having to defend himself and answer thousands of questions about what he eats and why—what's wrong with you?
People are everywhere, and the area buzzes with energy and laughter. Jasper's class must have been one of the last to end.
Instead of seeking out Bella to finally tell her about his experience of watching Edward and his boyfriend earlier, like he'd normally do, he doesn't want to not tell her anything, at least not here. He's got other things on his mind besides being a lovesick little kid, and he's got ideals, damn it. He wants knowledge and new friends.
Jasper takes a long walk around, only people watching for a while, stopping to talk to those he knows and just observing the rest. Outside, some are sitting around and eating, but he's full from his class and doesn't get tempted. He finds Ben sitting on a log alone, stuffing his face, and sits down beside him.
"Hey, man," Ben says through a mouthful of fried rice.
"Hey," Jasper answers, scanning the crowds for no one in particular. "How was your day?"
"It was fantastic!" Ben grins happily.
Jasper glances around. "What did you do?"
"First, I went to the empowerment workshop and then..."
That gets Jasper's full attention. "What? You were at the empowerment workshop?"
"Yeah! So?"
"I just thought it was for females—you know, the weaker sex." Jasper makes quotes in the air with his fingers to show he doesn't mean it himself.
Ben shrugs. "Nah, it's for everyone, and it was great! We learned about things like control techniques and it was so interesting. Then I was at the non-violence class. I can't wait for the practical course tomorrow where we'll learn how to sit all day up in a tree, man! How fun is that?" Ben picks up a corn on the cob and starts chewing at it.
Jasper looks around once again, scanning the crowds. "Yeah, I went to it this morning. Tomorrow, I'll learn more about the thoughts behind it. It was Edward's class, wasn't it?" As if he doesn't already know that.
"Yes, and he's so enigmatic and experienced even though he's only twenty-one years old."
Jasper looks down. "Yeah, I've noticed. It's like he's too good to be true."
"No, I don't know about that. No one is perfect," Ben says.
"Of course," Jasper mumbles, then changes the subject. "So, Ben, Bella tells me you and Angie finally had sex." Ben looks stunned, and Jasper continues accusingly, "I thought she wanted to wait until you're married. That's what you told me."
"Jasper, that was two years ago!"
"So, you've had sex?"
Ben nods at him.
"Why haven't you told me?" Jasper elbows his friend.
"Well, I didn't think Angie wanted others to know. It's none of other people's business."
"No, of course," Jasper says.
Ben smiles at him, and whispers, "So, she told Bella, huh? Did she say how we do it?"
Jasper wrinkles his eyebrows. "No? How you do it? There's the key in the keyhole, right? No other way."
Ben grins at him. "No other way? I'd thought you as a gay man would get it?"
"I don't understand. What would I get?"
"All right, since she's told Bella, I'll tell you, but it has to stay between us. Okay?"
"Yes, of course!"
"She still wants to do as her father says, to stay a virgin until her wedding night, right? But we have needs like anyone else and we know we're going to get married eventually, there is no question about it."
"Yeah, so?" Ben has Jasper's full attention, even with the corn pieces between his teeth.
"Yeah, so there is a way to keep your hymen until you're married, and still get satisfied. Dude. It's amazing! I totally get the gay sex part now!"
Then it finally clicks in Jasper's brain. "What?" he says. "You fuck her in the ass?"
"Shh," Ben scolds him. Then nods and smiles. "Yeah! It's not like it's not pleasurable for females! I don't believe in having to wait until marriage to have sex. It was a rule before birth control was invented, now it's no point at all. Even if I believe in God, I see no point in waiting when you have found the one. And Angie's fine with it this way—she's great with it, actually."
Stunned, Jasper sits and stares at Ben. "I don't get it. Why she thinks it's the hymen that's important to spare?"
Ben shrugs. "Me neither. But as long as we're both happy, I'm completely okay with it."
Now Jasper is truly the only seventeen-year-old virgin in Forks. Even Ben does it. To his girlfriend, with an intact hymen.
Jasper gets up in a haze, stumbling over to the football field. He passes Edward and his boyfriend on his way, and Edward calls after him, "Jasper, I need to talk to you for a minute. Please, wait!" But Jasper doesn't want Edward's company.
He walks into the forest on the first trail he finds, ending up in the clearing where he sags down on the forest floor. He sits there for a while, feeling lonely and like it's never going to change, but most of all, he feels really stupid for putting so much into this.
Then Riley sits down next to him again, close against his side.
For a couple of minutes, Riley keeps still before he asks, "So, you always go into the forest when something's up?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Jasper mumbles.
Riley puts his arm around his shoulder. "So, what's up this time, cutey? Can I help you? In any way?"
Jasper wrings his hands in his lap. Then nods determinedly and turns to Riley. "Yeah, perhaps you could."
The blond's eyes flick to Jasper's lips as he speaks and he notices Riley wetting his lips. He looks like he wants to kiss Jasper. Should he let him?
Riley leans forward. "I immediately wanted you when I saw you." He strokes his hand over Jasper's hair. "Your hair is so soft and it smelled so good yesterday. I had to go to the bathroom for some alone-time after. Did you know that?"
"No." Jasper gulps. Riley stroked himself to orgasm thinking of him—thinking of Jasper.
"Yeah, I think you're hot. You're gorgeous." Riley's breath is on Jasper's face, then he's kissing him. Wet lips pressing onto his own, like tickles on his sensitive skin. Then the lips are gone. Jasper opens his eyes, frowning.
"Oh, you want more?" Riley smiles at him.
"Yeah," Jasper breathes.
"What do you want?"
"Kiss me."
Then they're kissing—for real. His first kiss and first tongue in his mouth. It's so wet and warm, teeth and the feeling of another person's skin on his own face, Riley's nose sliding against his own. Jasper gets his first kiss and it's good, so good, that when Riley's hand is at the back of his head, fingers folded into his hair and he gets pressed as close as possible, he likes it. It's great, actually.
Riley's other hand slides down Jasper's arm and over his thigh, kneading it and it sets Jasper's breath up ten notches. Riley takes charge and kisses along his neck. Jasper's body is tingling all over now, filling him with this need. Something he felt earlier today, something two people having sex made him feel. His head spins and then Riley's hand is there—over his clothing, touching his hard dick and Jasper gasps.
Riley turns his face away from Jasper's neck, asking, "What do you need?"
"I... I..." Jasper can't say it. He can't tell Riley what he wants.
"Do you want to come?"
"Yeah..."
"My hand?"
"Ugh!"
"My mouth?"
Jasper groans at the thought.
"My hole?" Riley stares at him. "Do you want to fuck me?"
"Oh, God!" Jasper almost comes from the idea.
"Or," Riley pauses, "Can I fuck you?" His hand pushes its way into Jasper's pants, finding him hard and wanting. Jasper bucks his hips into Riley's hand.
"Fuck, Jasper, you're so hot. Can I fuck you? See, I have everything we need right here." He holds up both a condom and lube. "I just want to make you feel good. Please, I'll be so gentle."
Jasper fucks his cock into Riley's hand. "Please, Jasper will you let me?"
Jasper's head is spinning. He wants to come, he wants to fuck. He's the only one who hasn't done it—he does not want to die an old virgin.
Here is his chance, probably his only chance to do it. At least until he gets to Seattle, and that's a year from now—a lifetime.
He opens his pants and Riley rips off his own in a hurry. Then he pulls down Jasper's underwear, sliding them down as Jasper's hard dick slaps against his stomach. "Fuck, Jasper, you're so hard." Riley's hand is on him, stroking fast.
Then Riley pulls down his own underwear and Jasper sees his hard cock right in front of him, ready to penetrate him when he says the word. But he can't do it. It feels all wrong. This is not the right person.
"No," he says, taking Riley's hand when he gets ready to pop the lube. "No, I don't want to fuck."
Riley stares at him incredulously. "What? I know you want to."
"Yes, I want to, but it doesn't feel right."
"You don't love me, so what? We don't have to have all these fuzzy feelings about each other to have sex. It's just sex! We get off. Help each other out."
"Then, can't we get off by using our hands or mouths instead? "
Riley stares at him.
"Please," Jasper begs. "I've never had a blowjob. Or given one. Can't we do that?"
Riley hesitates.
"Can't you show me?" Jasper tries.
Riley throws the condom and lube away. "All right." He breathes and sinks down to where Jasper's cock stands proud and waiting.
He licks his lips, making Jasper feel warm wetness almost like the kiss engulfing his sensitive skin, and it's the best thing he's ever felt. He comes so quickly, Riley almost gets it in his eye when he draws back to look at Jasper's face to see how he's doing.
"Fuck, I'm sorry!" Jasper scrambles to find something to clean Riley's face with.
But Riley only laughs and licks his lips. "Don't worry. I like it."
Then he kisses him. Jasper kisses Riley's mouth with his own come and everything, and it's hot. Not gross or anything.
His hand finds Riley's cock ready and the tip wet and starts to stroke him, trying to do it as he likes it himself in this awkward position. It's not easy, jerking another person off the opposite way, but he likes the feeling of having a warm, hard and silky cock in his hand, then he stops.
Riley groans into his mouth. "Fuck, Jasper, don't stop!"
"Sorry, I just want to taste you, too. You know?" He's thought about this, how another guy's come would taste, kind of salty like his own.
"Ah, all right, then you better hurry!"
Riley leans back on his hands, his cock pointing straight out. Jasper leans down and kisses the tip, then takes it as far down as he can, which isn't far. He gags almost right away, but tries again, his eyes watering. He does it slower and sucks just on the tip as his hand strokes Riley's cock fast at the bottom. Riley comes and Jasper is not prepared. He coughs and spits. Embarrassed and wiping his mouth, he looks up at Riley.
Riley looks flushed and shaky as he falls down on his back, stretching his legs in front of him as he laughs. "Fuck!"
Jasper pulls up his briefs and pants and sits down, watching Riley. He really needs some water soon; the come burns in his throat and he feels dazed.
Riley rolls around, getting his clothes up, too. His hair looks wilder than ever. "So, I guess this was a one time thing, huh?"
Jasper gets up, too, brushing his pants behind. "Yeah, it was."
"All right," Riley says, smiling at him. "We'll be just friends. Do you want to go find Bella and Alice?"
"Sure," Jasper agrees.
They stumble after each other in the dark, their knees still weak, out onto the football field filled with people and voices. Jasper looks around and sees Edward staring hard at him—watching Riley and Jasper as they pass. Jasper almost falls, but manages to keep himself up when Riley takes his arm, laughing. He feels Edward's eyes burning his back, but he doesn't care. Not at all.
