Annnnddd… We made it to chapter 24! I am always excited when I am able to finish and post them. The last couple of chapters I've been struggling- mainly because I want to really expand on things. I also have trouble finding where to end the chapters because I want to keep going. Thank you to everyone that is sticking by this story though, you've all been great! I love receiving reviews and feedback- please keep them coming and don't hesitate to put in what you'd like to see in future chapters- I might write it into the plot later. Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
I don't own Twilight- only my OC's.
Chapter 24
When we got back, he began to help me pack. Bella came up to the room before we were finished and leaned against the door frame.
"So you get to spend time over there and he doesn't blink, but when I try I get a lecture? You two get up to way more trouble than I do!" She said in frustration.
"Ah, but that's the perk of being the niece instead of the daughter- I get away with more simply because he has no legal responsibility for me. Being 18 doesn't automatically make you an adult unless you can support yourself on your own. And Jasper hasn't pissed him off yet."
"But your excuse is hanging out with Alice and Rosalie? She doesn't like anyone though. Rosalie practically hates me!" I shrugged at her.
"It's not hard to form bonds when you have common ground. I do plan on hanging out with them, in smaller doses." Jasper's hand brushed against mine just then.
"Better be real small doses, Darlin'." Bella blushed furiously, causing Jasper and I to laugh. "Why the reaction Bella? I haven't even gotten to anything improper." Jasper had adopted the approach I had of teasing Bella. If she was going to go after what she wanted, she had to get over being so shy about it.
"Ugh, you two are ridiculous! Though in all seriousness, if someone had said that I would ever hear Jasper crack a joke or flirt in front of me, or look relaxed at all when I first met him, I'd say they were on acid. It's nice that you can bring out a different side to him. You seem almost… Human." She smiled at him, and he was taken aback.
"I mean that, in a good way. That came out wrong I guess. I'm sorry." Bella ducked down. I poked Jasper's cheek playfully.
"Hear that? Another person sees how incredible you are and how infectiously nice it is to be around you when you aren't stressing yourself out." Jasper nodded, still in shock over her assessment, and resumed with helping me pack. My cousin continued the conversation.
"Anyway, I'm more upset about how Edward seems to want me out of town this weekend for some big mystery reason, but you get to stay? Are you getting turned?" I sighed.
"You totally caught us Bella. Jasper and I are planning some big orgy and Edward's too much of a prude to let you near us." The look on her face was priceless.
"That was just mean!" Bella huffed. "I'm serious though. It makes no sense. I just get the feeling like he's pushing me to leave. Like, he's forcing his hand for some reason. Something's going on that you're not telling me."
"Have you ever thought that just maybe it would be a good idea to see your mom? You are running out of time to see her. She's not like Uncle Brian- she didn't have exposure to the supernatural and therefore definitely can't know about it. Hell, even Uncle Brian doesn't know everything. I'm still surprised we made it out of there alive in Volterra. I also have no doubt that I will have very limited contact with my old life once I become a newborn." I softened. "With that said, it'll be hard. For once, don't worry about him having ulterior motives and just focus on enjoying the sunlight with your loved ones."
"So he does have them." She narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I honestly have no idea. I don't care about him enough to want to dissect his brain. I tolerate him for the sake of those I love. Now, we have to get going here soon, but let me know how this weekend goes and I will see you Monday?" Bella sighed heavily and nodded, relenting at last. I'm sure she knew that I knew something, especially since Jasper had stayed quiet during the exchange, but she also knew better than to push me for details. It was good she also knew he was a brick wall with solid concrete behind it.
The one thing I noticed was that I let Jasper pack everything for me- which meant I had no idea what was brought, much less where any of it was. He of course, was gracious enough to unpack and be methodical about it.
"Lily, do you want to have these clothes put in a drawer I have for you, or do you want them to stay in here?"
"The drawer is fine, though I am curious as to what you packed."
"Nothing you wouldn't approve of. I found some interesting garments when I opened it up, and I didn't bother taking them out. Figured they were there for a reason. I hope that's okay."
If vampires could fidget, he'd be all over the place. Jasper had started letting his guard down more and more, and by now he was allowing me to feel his emotions and show them- something everyone in the family had noted that he had rarely done in all the years they'd known him.
"No worries! You can unpack them as well if you don't mind…. Maybe even pick two out that you really like?" I bit my bottom lip and gauged his reaction. His adams apple bobbed slightly, and he swallowed. Jasper's eyes fluttered closed briefly.
"You are the sweetest torture a man could ask for. But, in return, we're going to make this interesting."
"Oh?" I questioned.
"Yes." He stated decisively. Oh fuck, what had I gotten myself into? I wondered.
"You're to go to my closet, then select 3 articles of clothing plus an accessory of choice. Since you enjoy teasing so much and want to play games, we'll play them." My body shivered instinctively at his words.
"And what happens then?"
"I'll have a game set up for us. You'll go in the bathroom and change, do anything else you need, then first one to lose all of their clothes loses. What happens from there…." He trailed off, brushing my hair from the nape of my neck. "Will be up to you, of course." Goosebumps littered my skin and I felt the tingling sensation spread throughout my body, not just where his body touched mine.
"Either this was your plan all along or the comment I made to Bella got to you earlier." I breathed out, trying to will my body to stop reacting so much.
"A combination of things actually… The dam broke when you made sure that I chose that suitcase and offered yourself up like that." He kissed my pulse point softly and growled. "Now go. If I have to give you a time limit, I will."
Just like that, he was sitting on the bed. Stupid vampire speed. I stepped into his closet and set to work finding something. I chose a simple emerald tie, a white long sleeved shirt with buttons, and black slacks. He said 4 items in total, and I wondered if he meant socks or if I was to look for something else… I decided to chance it and found some black silk boxers. When I got out, he had the audacity to look innocent, having already set up candles that were lit, and a scrabble board set out on the floor.
"Your clothing is on the counter in there. I'll get changed in here." I held up the silk in question.
"Silk though? Really?"
"They're very comfortable. Why not silk?" Jasper grinned.
Round 1 passed quickly. Jasper lost by only a point. "Well damn. I guess I have to take something off. So, slacks or shirt?"
I took too long to make a decision apparently, because he unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, then surprised me by taking off his pants. He was a literal wet dream. Lean and powerful legs, the perfect shade of marble against soft black, white shirt clinging in all the right spots… His choice of what he unbuttoned, coupled with the tie hanging loosely at his throat, golden hair falling softly over his face…. Perfectly kissable lips…
"Something on your mind Darlin'?"
"Oh… you're evil. You'd totally be a Slytherin."
"Kinda figured that was your aesthetic here, so I went with it. Now, less talking, more playing." Jasper smirked. He kicked my ass next round.
"Shirt off. By the way, that was pitiful. For that, you have to take off two things- given that you lost on purpose."
"Caught that did you? So what else is to go?"
I shivered as he moved closer to me. He hovered over me and began tracing the lacey pattern of the corset style top that was exposed. My body fell back onto the floor, as if a magnetic force tethered it there. Jasper's hand lightly ran over my covered breast then traveled down to settle on my hip. His expert hands undid my pants and had them off faster than I could make heads or tails, and his mouth was on mine. The scrabble board was all but forgotten, and now all that mattered was how this man felt against me. The air was thickened with emotion and his scent had me enraptured. He pulled away from my mouth with a gentle nip and trailed down to my pulse point. His tongue gently swirled out and trailed down it sensuously.
"Tell me to stop." Jasper ground out against my neck, his breath warm and voice rough. "Please Lily…" His weight shifted just so, and his arousal brushed against me.
"I'm not so sure I want this to stop. My only request is the bed."
I stood up and pulled him by the tie. He groaned and our lips crashed against each other again. My hands tangled into his hair and tugged gently, pulling him closer. The sun had set by this point, but the candles were still going strong. It cast a soft glow on his features. His eyes held so much warmth and emotion. There was love, and uncertainty, and something I couldn't pinpoint. His cool fingers traced my cheek.
"God, you're so beautiful. I don't know what I ever did to deserve you." Jasper kissed me again, this time more slowly, but somehow more passionate. He was drinking me in, and his expert hands were doing things to me that no other person I had ever been with had done. I was driven near insane with desire for Jasper.
"I… Oh fuck, I can't-" I blushed, all coherent thoughts leaving me.
"Say something. Tell me you need this as badly as I do…. Or tell me to calm down. Anything…" He bit his lip and pulled away from me slightly.
"Jasper. I want this to happen. You're making me lose my mind. I know you feel that. You have to…." My hand wrapped in his.
I brought it down to my mouth first, lightly brushing my lips against his knuckles, then took his hand lower. He didn't fight me, but his eyes never left mine, searching for any signal to halt. I stopped just above where I wanted him to be. He let me lead, and when his cool fingers finally swept aside the hem of my underwear, his eyes fluttered closed and he let out a growl in pleasure. Mouth descending upon mine again, his fingers brushed up against me and I gasped. It wasn't long before his finger slipped inside, and soon another was joining it. In, out. In, out. A slow rhythm that began building. I couldn't help the moans that escaped and each one seemed to spurn him on. Pretty soon I could feel myself starting orgasm, and I knew he could feel it too. I began to shake and he swallowed my gasps; tongue exploring my mouth. Saliva mixed with venom for a deliciously heady experience. His name fell from my lips as I fell over the edge.
"Well, I'd say you're ready then, unless you need a minute?" Jasper paused and took his hand out. He licked his fingers seductively, closing his eyes and seemingly savoring the taste.
"I'm ready… Just, do you have…?" I bit my lip. He read my mind easily, holding a small packet that he ripped open gently with his teeth.
"I do remember when we talk about serious things. Though I must confess I've never used one past trying to figure out how to put these on. It won't make things painful or anything will it?" He seemed genuinely concerned, and it lost some of the momentum. "Alice said this thing might help make it easier somehow? She said just in case?" Jasper handed a bottle to me and I nodded.
"Yes, that will help. You quite a bit larger than I'm used to and it's been a little while. Here, let me."
I squeezed some into my hand and brought it down to his erect member. This was it. The moment we had been building up to for awhile. Jasper groaned as I stroked him, making sure to apply an even coat. His forehead fell against mine, and he watched me, entranced. I put more on for good measure, though some of it was to hear the rasps and moans it tore from him. Our lips met again, and he was positioned against me.
"If I'm too rough, or if it hurts, you need to tell me immediately, so I can stop. I'll go slow at first, and let you decide how this will go, okay?"
He took my nod as acceptance and pushed into me slowly. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but my breathing evened out as my body adjusted. Jasper was being uncharacteristically gentle; any traces of games or trying to seduce the other gone. The sensation of feeling him inside of me was indescribable. It was as if everything suddenly made sense- I was alive only for him. For the first time, I felt grounded but weightless. The only thing that mattered was Jasper. We were wrapped up solely in each other. He buried his face in the nape of my neck and I willed him to go faster. Our bodies fit together perfectly. I found he had a weak spot just below his earlobe. Gently nipping at it or pulling his earlobe with my teeth resulted in him taking me in deeper. The pressure was building, threatening to spill over any moment.
"Mmmm.. I don't think I can hold out much longer here… you're just so… God, Lily. Ah… please…" He rasped out. I knew he was close. I was too. When he let down his barriers and I felt a sudden wave of pure love and intensity, I lost it, which in turn triggered him to cum as well. It lasted what felt like forever, but was somewhere between a moment and a few seconds. He had rolled us over at last moment so that I collapsed on top of him, not able to trust himself to not crush me. We laid there for a few moments.
"Wow… That was…." Jasper brushed his hair back with one hand and stared at the ceiling.
"Ditto… If it's this earth shattering while I'm still human, imagine how it'll be when you no longer have to hold back. Who knew you could bend metal with your bare hands?" I pointed to part of the bed frame.
"I am never living this down."
"Nope! But it was worth it."
"So worth it." Jasper's hand cupped my cheek. "I love you, you know."
"And all it took was mind blowing sex?"
"No." He shook his head. "All it took was you merely existing and being you. I probably shouldn't have said that right after…." He trailed off quietly. I kissed him softly.
"Fear not. I'm only teasing. I love you too, for the record." I rolled off of him and out of bed. "Onto the human necessities."
