Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer. If I were, the series would have had sex, Rosalie wouldn't be a frigid bitch, Emmett would get more air time and THEN there would have been a hell of a lot more blood and gore!
AN: I'm going out into left field here…and doing Edward's POV. Yes, I realize my Edward is a little OOC…but he's got a lot he's going through and also, things are changing, rapidly. So just go with it, kay? Also…there's a slight tissue warning here for your nose/eyes. There's a towel warning for the next POV. Just warning you there…
Edward POV
Two days had passed since Marcus and Jane had left the states, and we were all breathing a little easier. Well, that was figurative, but still. Bella and Jacob had taken Renesmee out hunting. The other Halflings had gone along for the hunt, and Emmett had joined them, eager to see what his children could do. The house was crowded, but times like this, first thing in the morning, it was quiet. I made my way to the piano and sat down, the song on my mind filtering through to my fingers and onto the keys.
"I didn't think you liked country music." The southern twang said from behind me. I inhaled. Talia. Of course I had known she was there.
I turned to smile at her. "Talia."
Her lip twitched. "Edward."
I chuckled. "What is it about us?" I asked. It had bothered me. She never seemed to be… enamored with me like most women were. It was disconcerting, but at the same time, it took me down a peg or two, as I realized I was almost as vain as Rosalie had been about her beauty.
Talia laughed. "I don't buy into your bullshit?" She offered.
I frowned. I didn't think I often talked 'bullshit' but then, perhaps I did. There was something about her that seemed to see to the soul of a person, a gift that had nothing to do with her soul seeking abilities.
She ran a fingertip over a few of the keys and I resisted a shiver. The woman oozed sexuality, and for someone that had gone one hundred and seven years without sex, only to have recently come out of the drought, it was confusing the hell out of me. I had spoken to Carlisle and Jasper both and we agreed that if she had been a full vampire, no doubt she would have been one of the rare "sirens". As it was, she drove everything with a penis up the wall with desire.
"So, why are you playing a Mila Mason song?" She asked. "Is it because she shares a similar last name to your human one? Or is it something else?"
I shrugged. "I don't hate country music. There are just very few artists I enjoy. Most of the songs sound alike."
"But not this one?" She prodded.
I shook my head. "No. From the first time I heard it, what? Ten years ago? Twelve? It's always reminded me of something, I'm just not sure what."
She smiled again, that secret smile that said she knew something. "What?" I asked.
"It does." She said softly. "Would you like to take a trip?"
"Trip?" I asked.
She nodded. "A vision."
"What do you know?"
She gave me a little giggle. "Sometimes, when people have a sense of déjà vu, it's because they've already done something in a past life. This song seems familiar to you because it's very similar to how you and Bella met once. I believe it was in the eighteen hundreds. The life you had before this one."
I took in an unnecessary breath. "And you can show me the vision?" I asked; eager now.
She nodded. "Yes, but it would be better if I could sing. I channel my gift easier through song."
"Of course. Would you like to play?" I asked, gesturing to the Fender guitar in the corner.
She smiled and picked it up. "It would sound better if Alice…"
"Right here!" Alice said as she walked into the room.
"Get finished shacking up in your love nest?" Talia teased. Alice and Jasper had both been…entertaining Jen and Eric, the newest vampires to visit us. Jen had an interesting gift; she could make anyone, vampire, wolf, Halfling, human, forget whatever she wanted them to. She had been having fun making Emmett forget things. Of course, it didn't work on Bella, Talia or Lina, our shields. Lina was doing brilliantly with hers. Talia couldn't get hers to go out any farther, and it fell completely when she was in wolf form.
"Yes." Alice said with narrowed eyes. "Eric and Jasper are out working with Eric's skills. Jen went along to watch." Eric, similarly to Benjamin, of the Egyptian coven, could manipulate mother earth. It was fascinating, really. Alice said she believed that Eric had faerie blood in him, and that, coupled with his vampire venom, aided in his abilities. The thought delighted Carlisle immensely and he was all too eager to do some testing on Eric to see what he could do.
Talia's eyebrows went up. "And you didn't go with them for what will no doubt be a 'frolic' in the woods?"
Alice grinned. "Oh, no, I see myself being quite happy tonight. So I'm content to let them play for a bit."
I didn't want to know any more. Jasper had given me quite a lesson while the girls were gone to retrieve Leslie, and though I was, albeit grudgingly, and more than a little bit nervously, eager to learn more, I had to respect the fact that Jennifer and Eric were…playmates with Alice and Jasper first. Bella, however, wasn't quite as patient. Her newborn lust was still quite strong, even more so, now that there were so many new people about.
I sighed as I thought of Demetri. He and Leslie had been keeping to themselves. She had been adamant about him learning to control his blood lust, but not having the time to train himself as Felix had, it was a difficult time for him. They had finally decided to travel up to Denali to our other home near Tanya and her family where they could assist him in his control. They had asked, and Carlisle, who had a degree in theology, had married them before they left. They were now enjoying a "honeymoon" to themselves for a week, first. Demetri hadn't even commented on the fact that he had been left by his 'coven' and had eagerly joined ours.
"So, are you going to sing for us, Talia?" Alice asked as she sat down behind the small drum set we'd brought into my piano room. I hadn't been thrilled, the piano was its own masterpiece, but with all the children taking music lessons, it had made sense to buy another drum set and keep it in here.
Talia smiled at me. "It's up to Edward."
"Do you mind a projection, Alice?" I asked her. "Talia said she would indulge me in a memory of one of my past lives."
Alice grinned. "Oh, goody! I haven't had one in quite some time! The past is a lot of fun to look at. Looking at the future all the time gets dull."
Talia and I both laughed at that. I had the feeling the ever-changing future was never dull.
I started the song with the piano intro once more and Talia closed her eyes, smiling as she began strumming the guitar. It was then that her beautiful voice started to sing.
Indian summer
Abilene
You were new in town
I was nineteen
And sparks flew
I peeked around the overgrowth just in time to see the beautiful brunette slip off her shoes and stockings. Men, even men as young as my nineteen years, weren't allowed to see girl's ankles, so to watch her dip her toes into the creek, was a thrill for me. We were on our way through Texas on a wagon train. The girl, Delilah, was the pastor's daughter. I was a runaway. I had no money, no nothing, running from a father that beat me and a mother that had died giving birth to me.They called us crazy
Behind our backs
"Romantic fools"
We just let them laugh
Because we knew
I must have made some noise, because Delilah called out, "You there! Show yourself! I have my Daddy's derringer!" I swallowed hard and stepped out. She gasped.
It may be a long shot
We may be lonely down the line
But love knows no reason
And I won't let them make up my mind
"You!" She accused. I was terrified she would call for her father, but she surprised me and smiled. "Come closer."
I walked toward her.
"You are the boy, Nathanial, aren't you?"
I nodded. She held out her arms for me and I grasped her waist tightly. "I've dreamt of you." She whispered moments before my lips pressed to hers.
My love is riding on this dark horse baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
We were all but inseparable after that, being careful to keep our love affair a secret. I pledged my undying love to her, and she, to me, the night we crossed over into Arizona territory.
Stars are brighter
In the desert sky
No need to wonder or justify
Where this will lead
I bought her a necklace from a trading post we'd stopped in, spent a good chunk of what little bit of money I had, too, but she was worth it. She was worth everything.
I wear your locket
Our picture's inside
Inscription says "The joy's in the ride"
And I believe
We made love under the stars on a blanket a month later, and when she came to me and told me that she was with my child, I was overjoyed, even though I was terrified of her father. We owned up to it, and though he was not what one would call happy, he married us on the spot. It was the best day of my life.
Something so sacred
Is something worth this kind of fight
'Cause love knows no patience
You can't please everyone all the time
We made it to San Francisco just as Delilah's belly grew huge with our child. We managed to find a small place, and I found work as a piano player at a bar. It wasn't a the best job in the world, but the pay was decent..
My love is riding on this dark horse baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
Our love grew, just as our child did, and the day our son was born, I cried like a baby. Life was hard, but we made it a good one.
My love is riding on this dark horse baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse
Some evenings, we'd get out on my horse and go for a run through the fields outside of town, enjoying just being the two of us, but we would always eagerly come back to our child. Two years and another child's worth of happiness we enjoyed together before the cholera hit.
My love is riding on this dark horse baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
I was lucky, my children lived, my love, however, passed on without me. But I know she'll be waiting for me when I get to heaven, or somewhere in the great beyond…
Indian summer
Abilene
You were new in town
I was nineteen
I came to myself with a stinging in my eyes. Vampires couldn't cry, but they did feel all the same emotions humans did, perhaps even stronger. I looked over at Alice, who was smiling sweetly.
"Thank you, Talia," I said softly.
She smiled at me. "And now you know."
"Did you see?" I asked.
She nodded. "I've always seen. I can see your past with crystal clarity, Edward. It's the future I can't view."
"But I can," Alice said with a grin. "And I see a lot of things now I didn't before."
"Good things?" I asked her. I was not at all certain I could take much more bad news. The upcoming war, though, it was years in the making, had made us all a bit edgy. I had worried about all of our family, but none more than Bella, Renesmee and Jacob.
Most people would be surprised to find that I worried about the pup so much, but he is, after all, Renesmee's future mate, and there is nothing I wouldn't do for my little girl, even if it was keeping the dog alive. Besides, he and I had somehow come to some sort of impasse ourselves. I had, after deciding not to kill him for being with Leah…intimately, decided to keep his secret, which had not endeared me to my wife, in any way, shape, or form.
I truly hadn't realized the connection between the two of them was still so strong. How wrong I had been. At least, now, I knew that though they may share physical bond in the future, she was, and forevermore would be mine. The thought, to this selfish creature, was quite comforting.
Alice's smile grew. "The best things, Edward. Never bet against me, remember?"
Jasper POV
I smiled as I walked up to the house. When Alice told me of what she'd seen this evening, I had to admit, it surprised me, but I went with it. "Never bet against Alice" had been the family motto forever now. Bella's arrival into our family was only proof of it, as was the visions she'd seen of Rosalie not being in the family anymore.
That was one vision she had kept strictly between the two of us. I remember all too well the time we were away from the family hunting for Nahuel and his aunt. She had shared quite a few things that had the potential to happen. I have to admit, I was shocked by some of the things, but I knew, deep within my soul, that she was right. And now, here we were.
Edward, care to go hunting with me? I asked as I walked in the house. I knew he'd have his 'ears' listening for his name. He came from the piano room then and I noticed Alice give me a little smile. "Where are our guests?" She asked.
I smiled as I thought of Jen and Eric. "They're spending some time 'alone' before Carlisle brings Eric in for some tests. His gift has intrigued our father."
Alice nodded and winked at me. "Have a good time hunting." She said.
I turned to Edward. "What do you say? We can make it a competition…"
He shook his head. "Let's just go for a relaxing hunt. I only feel the need to compete with Emmett."
I nodded. Emmett was, after all, fun to beat, as he was the sorest loser of us all, at least, he pretended to be. Honestly, I don't think Emmett really gave a fuck about much of anything. Except Talia, she, he cared for very much, as was evident by his little statement to me yesterday;
"Don't think I'm finished with you, Jasper." He growled as I rounded the corner.
My eyebrow rose. "What are you talking about?"
"Eating my mate's pussy while I was gone."
I was wondering if she were going to admit that to him. "You weren't here to do it. I didn't cross the line as much as Jake did."
"The line was crossed. Period. Give me one good reason why I don't tear you apart and leave you for Alice to put you back together again."
I let out an indignant snort. "Please. You know you can't best me, Emmett. You've tried. My years of experience make it almost impossible for your brute strength to overcome me."
He growled once more. "Wanna bet?"
That was when Carlisle had intervened. I had then proceeded to swear to Emmett that I would not touch Talia again until she and Emmett made their decision to join our group. That had satisfied him well enough.
"Jasper?" Edward asked, bringing me out of my ruminations.
I blinked. "Sorry, Edward. I'd just…"
"Remembered your conversation with our brother? I heard." We walked out of the house and toward the trees. "So, how will things work with our new friends?"
I grinned. I knew you were eyeballing Jen. I told him in my mind.
He smiled. "And if I was?"
"She'll be thrilled. She thinks you're beautiful."
Edward gave me a shy smile.
Have you and Bella talked any more about what happened while they were gone?
He nodded. "It…um…led to some interesting sexcapades."
I grinned. "It's about time you start filling me in on that. You need to quit being such a pansy."
He rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Jasper. I've not been as…vocal. It's…disrespectful to Bella."
I let out a snort. And you really have no clue about all the sex that she and Alice discuss? Positions, places in which to do it, all the places you have done it…What? Have you been hiding under a bush covering your ears?
He shot me a look. "Bella was raised in a different world than I was."
"So was I, Edward, but I've learned to adapt to the times, the language patterns, the…openness that's now prevalent. You need to step into the twenty first century."
"I'm not sure I can adapt, Jasper. Just because you can…I'm a vampire."
I snorted. "No shit, Edward. So am I, and older than you by almost another hundred years. You don't want to change, do you? You don't want to be part of our deviant ways. You don't want me." I knew I was toying with him, playing with fire, but I wanted to see that spark again like I had that night Bella and Alice were gone with Talia.
Sure enough, his eyes lit with slight anger and I felt it, along with barely tampered desire flair. Ahhh…there it is.
"What?" He asked.
I smiled and thought; the desire for me you hide so well. I knew it was there.
"You're a cocky son of a bitch, aren't you?" He asked.
My smile grew and I palmed my now eager erection. "One could, in fact, say that."
He chuckled. "You think you're funny, as well?"
Now my eyebrow rose. Are you going to stand there staring at me? Or are you going to kiss me already, Edward?
He let out a snarl and attacked.
AN: You know…I really could have ended it here. I haven't given you very evil cliffies lately. However, I knew my girlies would want me to continue it. They've been waiting for this, (yes, YOU Teresa) so, for them, here ya go!
WARNING! The following scenes MAY contain strong sexual content. They may also include Jasper and Edward getting down and dirty…if you are sensitive to that…then…clearly…you don't like reading my works. Turn away, innocent eyes, turn away!
Continuing Jasper POV…
I relaxed my body, so when his hit mine, we went down in a tangle of arms and limbs. The trees around us shook from the force of the blow and I smirked as I fueled his desire with my own. Kiss me, damn it. I commanded. Yet still, he pulled away.
"What are we doing?" He asked as he pinned me to the ground.
I flipped us, so that I was in the dominant position. "Learning." I responded. "You were willing to enter into this life, Edward. You're willing to learn. If you don't find me…desirable, you can feel free to stay with the women. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a piece of the great Edward Cullen."
He let out a little snort and flipped us again. "This isn't easy for me."
"Open yourself, Edward. Open your mind. Let me fill you with what I feel for you. What I always have…" I finished softly.
He gasped. "Always?"
I nodded. "From that first day, when you and Alice argued, I knew I would like you. Alice, as I had already learned, does not accept arguments from anyone. And yet, I could see that sparkle of mischief in her eyes as she verbally sparred with you and I could only imagine what she was thinking to you."
He grinned. "She was giving me quite the little tantrum in her head. It was cute."
I flipped us once more. "Edward, you can say no."
I felt his determination fill him as he flipped us one final time, his mouth coming to mine. Mmm…sweet, like clover honey I used to eat as a human. He tasted delicious. Our mouths fused together, and surprising to me, I felt his tongue slip in to tangle with mine and I couldn't quite help my internal as well as verbal moan.
I rolled us again, my one hand going to his hair, my other going to his ass, massaging the muscle there. Edward…I moaned. You taste wonderful…I can just taste Bella on you. Did you eat her pussy this morning before Nessie woke up?
I felt his erection grow as I ground down onto him. You like that, don't you? You like knowing I can taste your wife on you, don't you?
"Yes," He whispered huskily.
I bucked my hips into him. "How far do you want to take this today, Edward?"
He grabbed me and pulled me back to him for another kiss. "Fuck me, Jasper. I want to feel you."
I felt my eyes grow wide. Wow. Wasn't expecting that.
He let out a…was that a giggle?! And said, "I'm full of surprises, Jasper."
I let out a growl and ripped his shirt off of him before my mouth was fused to his chest. He growled as well, ripping my own shirt from my body. Our pants went next in a flurry of torn fabric and then we were skin to skin.
Our cocks brushed one another and I felt Edward shiver beneath me. "Are you sure?" I asked once more.
His eyes met mine and he nodded. I bent and kissed him once more. Okay, here's how this goes. I can do this with me behind you, but it is better, or rather, I feel more connected to a person if I can see their eyes.
He smiled softly. "I want to see you. To know it's you filling me, Jasper. I…want you."
I let out a groan and brushed his cock again with mine. My lips fused to his again as I moved my hand down to him. I rubbed our erections together as my tongue fucked his mouth, all the while my fingers had begun their dance. I felt his desire, his longing, his…arousal growing as I teased his prostate. Do you like that? I teased.
His hips bucked to mine in response. You know…I like having you like this. Your mouth can't respond, only your body. I can give you commands and there is no need for words.
He moaned and his hips bucked again. Are you ready? Are you ready for my big…hard…cock?
His eyes grew wider as I pulled my fingers away and slammed into him. Then I watched as they rolled back in his head. I grabbed his cock and started milking it with my hand. Fuck…Edward…you feel so good.
He was breathing hard, though, it was unnecessary as his hips undulated into mine. You want more? I asked, pulling away before burying myself balls-deep into him.
He let out a keening noise and I felt his pre-cum leak from his slit. I used it to lubricate my hand as I sped up my motions. At this rate, it would take neither of us long. Do you want me to slow down?
He bit my tongue in response and I chuckled inwardly. I take that as a no.
His hands were all over me, my back, my buttocks, until, surprisingly, his fingers found my own entrance and I hissed as he slipped three in. Fuck…Edward!
I could feel his smirk against my mouth and I thrust my tongue into him roughly as my climax approached. He let out a moan as I felt his jets of cum cover us, my own cum filling him.
I tore my mouth away from his to bite his neck and he hissed as he continued to orgasm. "Oh…SHIT!" He screamed as I sucked the venom from his body.
It was my turn to smirk as I pulled away. It was then that I heard giggling. I looked up to find Talia wrapped around Emmett as Bella and Alice made out. "Edward, we have an audience."
He looked at me and over at them. "I don't really give a fuck at the moment…" And then he pulled my lips back down to his.
Emmett POV
I watched in awe as my son attacked a deer twice his size. Granted, he wanted to "show Daddy how he could take down a mountain lion," but Bella, in Talia's absence, told him no. I grinned as I watched him eat the animal. I sidled up to him and he growled at me. My lips quirked. "Alright, Xander. It's yours, I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you."
He gave me a little yip and turned back to his meal. The boys had learned it was far easier to take down an animal in wolf form. They got more excitement from it. Their senses were far keener as an animal themselves.
I watched Lina stalking another deer in the distance and climbed up a tree to get a good view of what she was doing. Sure enough, she pounced daintily, like Nessie did, and quickly drank the animal's blood. When she was finished, she let out an odd little whistle and Dominic came over, quickly attacking the carcass, ripping the fir and flesh away from its musculature. She smiled at him and called over for Nessie, who eagerly attacked the animal's meat with her.
"They have it down to a science, don't they?" Bella asked as she climbed up to perch on the branch with me.
"They're amazing." I said in wonder.
She grinned. "Nessie's started eating more food now that Lina is here. The two of them are inseparable, have been since Carolina started walking."
"They're a sight." I said with pride.
She nodded. "They are very close, and will only get closer."
I blinked. "Wh-what do you mean?"
She shot me a look. "You know exactly what I mean. They're young, their bodies aren't developed, but their minds know exactly what goes on when they become adults. They respect the concept of their youth, are enjoying it, but they know what will become of us all, the war, the bonding between each of us, there was no point in hiding it. Dominic saw. He shared with Xander and Lina when they join their minds, and now, somehow, Lina and Nessie can communicate silently as well. I don't know how they've done it."
She shook her head. "Edward's stumped, but it seems as though Ness has learned how to channel her gift and flip it to Edward's. It makes her quite dangerous. She's also learned how to implant her thoughts into another person. She's still working on it, but if you agree to do something for Nessie, chances are she planted the thought in your head."
I snorted. "Nice. So, she's brilliant and can make me do whatever she wants. Guess Edward can never say no, can he?"
Bella laughed. "Not often, no."
We watched the children finish their meals and joined back up with Jake, who had ran over to the Rez to check in with everyone over there. We made our way back to the house and Alice ran out, Talia hot on her tail, and grabbed Bella's hand. "Look after the kids, Em!" Alice shouted behind her as Talia giggled and blew me a kiss.
I rolled my eyes. Where in the hell is the fire?
I walked into the house, only to be sent right back outside by Mariana and Esme, both whom decided they wanted to spend time with their grandkids. "Go hunt, or, whatever it is you vampires do." Mari instructed me.
I rolled my eyes for the second time in five minutes and stepped back out onto the porch. Hmm. Well, I could go see what the girls were all so giggly about…I gave myself a little nod and followed their scent through the woods.
It took me a few minutes, just taking my time, because they were so far from home. But what I found there surprised me. "What's going on?" I asked softly as Talia sat watching, pleasing herself as Bella and Alice were wrapped around one another, making out. Damn. I shifted my cock, which had started to respond at the scene before me.
Alice pulled away from Bella and giggled. "See something you like, Emmett?"
I cleared my throat. "Damn girls, you're giving me a chub here. What the fuck are you doing?"
"Watching." Bella said softly.
My eyebrow rose. "Watching what?" I followed her eyes to the small clearing. "What the fuck?"
"Shhh," Bella said.
"What are they…?" Though, that question was utterly stupid. Jasper and Edward were…well…shit. They were fucking. "Are you seriously watching them fuck?" I asked, no entirely opposed to the idea. Hey, I enjoyed porn. I'd never watch man on man, but I'd try anything once…
"Yes." Talia said with a smile.
"Do they know you're watching them?"
They all shook their heads. "I've got the girls, and now you, under my shield." Bella told me. "I didn't want Edward to know we were here."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we want to watch them finish." Alice said, matter-of-factly.
"Oh. Duh, ignorant me." I retorted.
Alice and Bella ignored me then, going back to what they were doing…which was…damn. Fucking hot. "So…" Talia said, coming up to brush a kiss to my lips. "Does that get you excited? Watching?"
I swallowed the venom that pooled in my mouth at the smell of my mate's desire. "Yes." I answered.
"Watching the boys, the girls, or me?"
"Is that a trick question?" I heard myself ask.
She laughed lightly. "Oh, Emmett…" Her body wrapped around me then, her core rubbing my erection as her mouth fused with mine. I let out a moan and pushed her toward a tree, ignoring everything and everyone around me, wrapped up in my need.
I heard a giggle and it broke my concentration. I looked over at Bella and Alice, who where smiling like Cheshire cats. "What?"
Talia smiled also. "Do you enjoy watching the show that Bella and Alice present?"
I nodded. "I wouldn't be a man, vampire or otherwise, if I didn't enjoy watching two women kiss."
She giggled again. "So…you'd like for me to kiss them also? To rub my body against Bella and Alice? To have one or both of them get me off, and me, them?"
Fuck…fucking trick question again, I thought. And was it only a few days ago I said I wanted her all to myself? Well…I'd…be willing to see her make out with the girls. Not the guys. That I know I'm not ready for. "Y-yes." I answered finally.
A look of triumph passed over Alice's face as Talia said, "Okay."
"Okay?" I asked. "I…um…uh…okay."
Her smile turned slightly evil as she said, "But you have to do something for me, first."
My eyebrows shot up. "What could I do for you out here? You wanna let me fuck you so everyone can watch? Cuz, baby, I can damn sure do that, right here, right now."
She giggled again. What's up with all the giggling, I wondered.
"See the boys over there?" She asked.
I turned and looked. They had obviously finished…what they had been doing. Now it looked as though they were just lying together, talking, kissing occasionally, ignoring the rest of us. "Yeah?" I asked.
"I want to watch you French one of them."
My mouth fell open. "What?! Are you fucking insane?" I asked her. "Tal…babe…I'd do anything for you…but…I…I'm not a fruit."
Her lips quirked. "I know you're all man, Emmett. But just because you're a man, doesn't mean you can't enjoy being with men too. Have you ever thought about it?"
Truthfully? No. But…well…this whole bonding thing has gotten me all kinds of confused. "Just a kiss?" I asked.
She batted her damn eyelashes. "Just a kiss. A French kiss. You do that for me, and I'll give you a show with my girls here, like you've only dreamed of before."
"Which guy?" I asked. I mean, come on, I'm a fucking dude that has never as much as thought of kissing another dude.
She put her head together with Alice and Bella's and they were talking so low, even with vampire hearing I couldn't tell what they were saying. Talia lifted her head from their little huddle and smiled triumphantly. "By unanimous decision, we decided…Jasper."
I blew out a breath. Okay, you can do this, Em. It's just a kiss, right? Get in, get out, hey, you might like it…which was an internal discussion for a whole other day. Okay. I cleared my throat and walked over to Jazz and Ed. Both were still naked. Huh. Wow. I feel overdressed…ha.
"Yes, Emmett?" Edward asked.
"So…how bout them Mariners, huh?"
They both looked at me. I swallowed. "Okay, so, the girls…they're being evil, well, not evil, but, uh, yeah, and see, I just…hell. Jasper. Get on your feet so I can lay a kiss on ya, man, okay?"
Jasper chuckled as he stood. I'd never really stood face to face with Jasper like this before. He was shorter than me, probably by an inch or two, maybe three, but it wasn't that bad. I didn't like, have to bend down too far or anything, so… "How do we do this?" I asked softly.
He chuckled. "Oh, Emmett. I'm going to have such fun with you."
My eyes grew wide as he grabbed me and pulled me to him for a kiss. I shut my eyes. I really didn't need any visions associated with this. But then a weird thing happened. Jasper used his gift on me, relaxing me. I felt my muscles loosening and I kinda melted a little bit as he tightened his grip on me and I felt his tongue slip into my mouth.
Huh. Not bad. His lips weren't soft, but weren't too rough either, but they were insistent. His tongue plundered my mouth eagerly, tasting me. He tasted of almost a cinnamon flavor, spicy, like the cider we used to drink on cold evenings when I was human. Cool. I could probably adjust to this…
I put my own arms around him tentatively, automatically massaging the muscles under them, which were the ones on his back, and he rewarded me with a purr deep in his throat as my tongue pressed against his before I dove into his mouth. I was just getting good and into it when he pulled away and laughed.
"What?" I asked. "Was it that bad?"
He grinned. "Quite the opposite, Emmett. I'm surprised. I didn't know you had it in you. You may be a flaming queer by the time I'm done with you after all."
"Ha, ha." I told him. "You know, you're a pretty good kisser, Jazzy."
He rolled his eyes and smiled at me. "Come on, I think we're in for a show…"
I nodded. Too right, we were in for a show. I was eager to see the girls make out together, and maybe, just maybe, I'd be willing to watch them do a little bit more…
AN2: I want no lip for my decision to do this now. It worked, and it opens Emmett's eyes to what will really be going on when they all start "bonding" with one another. Go with it.
