Chapter 5 – Canon in D
Chicago 1957
"Okay, so I wish we could do this differently, but I just can't see any other way that won't hurt our families or cause the three of us to be victimised. I think that, since Bella and I are already engaged and the wedding already planned and paid for, we should go through with it. I also think that we should buy that house we saw that had the granny apartment attached to it and all move in together. To anyone else, it will be mine and Bella's house and Jasper is renting the attached apartment from us. In reality, it will be our house and we will all live in the main house together."
The whole time I was talking, I had both Jasper's and Bella's hands in mine and when I mentioned about going ahead with the wedding, he had involuntarily tightened his fingers in a vice-like grip. I looked up at him then and it just broke my heart, the anguish on his face.
"I'm sorry, Jazz. I truly wish we could all get married but you know that we can't. It isn't legal. I even thought about you and Bella getting married and me living in the apartment, but that will just raise more questions than ever and it will be Bella who will suffer with a bad reputation," I said quietly, overcome with emotion. Bella was crying softly against Jasper's chest and I pulled them both out of their chairs so that I could envelope them in my arms, trying to comfort them as best as I could. I had done all my crying last night when I had come to the realization that this was the only way.
Jasper leaned over and kissed me softly. "It's alright, Edward. I guess I already knew that this was the only way, but it just hurts so much to acknowledge it out loud. There is nothing I would like more than to pledge my life to you both publicly and without shame, but I doubt that the world will ever see what we have as anything more than a sin."
Bella had stopped crying and was listening to us intently. "We can pledge ourselves privately to each other. That will be even more meaningful than saying the words in front of a whole bunch of people that don't understand us. And we can go on our honeymoon together. I know of this place in Victoria Pines where we can rent a cottage rather than stay in a hotel in New York like we were planning and no one needs to know anything about us."
Jasper and I turned to face Bella in shock as she had just said the most perfect thing. Of course, it didn't matter if no one but us knew that we were together. It was enough that the three of us knew what we all meant to each other and we could declare our love to each other privately. I scooped her up in my arms and kissed her heartily on the lips and then held her hand as Jasper did the same.
I watched as his long fingers traced over her quivering lips and then held her as he leaned in for a gentle kiss. As his lips opened over hers and I watched his tongue skate into her parted lips the breath left my lungs at the shot of lust that darted straight to my groin. I moved in behind Bella, holding her shoulders in my hands and pressed my hardened length into her back. I could hear her gasp and she kissed Jasper with even more enthusiasm. I pulled her hair away from her neck and pressed open mouthed kisses behind her ear and down the swan-like length of her neck and then gently bit where it joined her shoulder. Bella shuddered at the feeling and ground her backside into my groin.
All the while pressing into her, I slid my fingers down her arms until I reached her hands which were clutching Jasper's hips. I had longer arms so I reached further and grasped Jasper's toned ass in my hands and pulled him closer so that each of us was pressed tightly against Bella. I leaned over Bella's shoulder and bit Jasper lightly on his ear while squeezing his very nice bottom. Jasper gasped and for a brief moment left the delights of Bella's lips and kissed me hard. Mmm…he tasted of Bella's strawberry lip gloss and the red wine that we had consumed with dinner. Bella was nibbling on my ear waiting her turn and I just knew that I wanted to see her in all her glory again but this time spread out on my bed for both Jasper and I to appreciate.
I left Jasper's mouth with great regret and turned to Bella and reminded her about her fantasy when we were in the car. She smiled brightly before turning to face us and bringing each of our hands up and placing them over her breasts. Jasper and I grinned at each other and each proceeded to kiss her cheek and then bite her ear, slide our mouths down her throat, one following where the other led, all the time kneading Bella's perfect breasts. I jumped when I felt Bella's small hand grasp the shaft of my cock through my trousers and I heard Jasper gulp a few seconds later.
Bella fumbled with my belt and I helped her free my aching erection with my unoccupied hand. I heard her gasp when she felt the weight of it springing into her hand. She tentatively rubbed her fingers up and down my length and I showed her how to grasp it and move up and down. I groaned when she set a good rhythm and heard an answering groan from Jasper a minute later. My legs almost buckled as I watched Bella's small hand working up and down both our shafts and I giddily suggested that we move to my bedroom.
Jasper and I both stepped out of our trousers and grabbed them up as we followed Bella into my room. While I pulled back the covers, Jasper lovingly removed her blouse and Bella unzipped her skirt. I went up behind Jasper and lifted his t-shirt over his head and kissed his neck. Bella's eyes widened when Jasper turned in my arms, pushed my shirt over my head and cupped my face tenderly as he kissed me softly. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed myself against his hardened length while Bella stepped closer and squeezed our bottoms in her hands pressing us even closer together.
I helped Bella onto my bed and then Jasper and I leaped up in front of her pushing her gently onto her back. I whispered into Jazz's ear to make his way down to heaven whilst I tended to other things. He smiled and bent down to kiss Bella's belly button while I spread out beside Bella and took her breast into my mouth. One of Bella's hands curled into my hair and the other flew down and she grabbed Jaspers hair in a tight grip. As I flicked my tongue and nibbled on Bella's nipples, I watched Jasper skim his lips across Bella's stomach and down until his face was buried between her milky white thighs.
Bella's body contorted with the intensity of her feelings and her moans increased with each pass of Jasper's lips over her heated sex. Her fingers tightened almost unbearably in my hair and I doubled my efforts. I could smell Bella's arousal and my cock twitched in response wanting to bury myself in her heat. Just then, I felt Jasper's hand tugging on my fingers wrapped around one of Bella's breasts. He pulled my hand down until I was touching Bella's slick warmth. I hummed around the breast in my mouth and Bella arched up further into my mouth. Jasper was licking Bella's entrance and sliding his tongue in as far as it would go. I pressed my fingers onto Bella's clit and I swirled them in a circle around the hardened nub. Bella screamed our names and shuddered to her climax.
I leaned over and kissed her hard. The smell of arousal permeated my room and I needed to find some relief. My fingers, slick with Bella's release, wrapped around my length and I groaned as my hand slid easily up and down. Bella's eyes grew round as she watched me pleasuring myself and then darkened with lust as she watched Jasper move my hand out of the way and start to pump my cock with his own. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit beside him, each straddling one of my legs, and then placed her fingers around my length folding them in his larger hand. Jasper was massaging my cock with Bella's hand and it was so unbelievably erotic.
I watched as Bella snuck her free hand from behind Jasper's back and latch on to his untended erection. I saw him stiffen in surprise and then smile widely when she ran her hands up and down his length. This time I would not be denied and I reached down and grasped Jasper's balls in one hand and just managed to grasp the tip of Bella's nipple with the other and squeezed.
It didn't take long for either of us to climax, we were all so new to this and every touch brought me so close to my release. Jasper collapsed on top of me when he reached his climax moments after mine and after a quick kiss pulled Bella between us on the bed. I had to get Bella home soon but took a few moments to nuzzle into her side while Jasper did the same on the other.
Bella wanted to take things further the next night; she was insatiable now that we had started exploring each other. Jasper asked us both if we would mind if we waited to completely consummate our new relationship until the night of our wedding. He thought we could perform our own commitment ceremony that night when we arrived at the cottage and that would be our true wedding night and he wanted it to be special. Bella and I both tearfully agreed that that was the most romantic proposal ever.
The six weeks leading up to the wedding were frantic. Bella and I had dinners with both of our parents to take care of the final arrangements, always having talked to Jasper beforehand so that he would be included. Jasper and I had some long shifts on the job and we signed the contract for the house with the attached apartment after Jasper had come with us and agreed that it was perfect for us.
Everything was going smoothly when something happened a week before the wedding which threw me for a loop. When Jasper had realized his feelings for both of us and knowing that Bella and I were marrying, he had requested a transfer to a station further downtown. He had still planned to be friends with us but thought living together and working with me would be too hard on him with Bella and I not feeling the same way as he did. He had forgotten to cancel his request with the whirlwind that had taken place since then. We talked about it and thought that maybe it would be a good thing. It was already difficult for us to keep our feelings for each other private at work and I imagined that would be infinitely harder once we started becoming even more intimate when we were married. Jasper also pointed out that with us working at different places, one of us would be more likely to be with Bella and she would not be on her own so much.
I agreed but it was still hard when Jasper kissed me goodbye the first morning to go off to his new station and to partner with James Anderson, of all people, who had transferred out at the same time. I had been partnered with a rookie cop, Seth Clearwater who was green as the hills and liked country music. Thank God, I was the senior cop. It was my music choice and Elvis ruled all the way.
The week flew by and before we knew it, Jasper and I were standing at the front of the Church waiting for the beautiful woman who would make our lives complete. We were wearing charcoal morning suits and Jasper looked magnificent in the formal getup although he kept complaining that he was choking. Canon in D started playing and Jasper and I turned to watch the vision of Bella in white coming towards us. She was truly stunningly beautiful today and her smile when she saw us could have lit a thousand candles, it was so bright.
The service passed quickly and with the formalities over, we headed over to the reception. There was only the four of us at the head table with Bella's friend Angela as her bridesmaid. Under the table, I held Jazz's hand and on the table I clasped Bella's, my heart aching with the pain that Jasper must be feeling. He was stoically smiling throughout the day, but I could see the telltale signs of strain in his eyes. It was a lovely day but all three of us were anxious to leave for our honeymoon and for tonight's plan for our own commitment ceremony so that we were truly married.
We danced, we ate and then finally it was time to leave. Bella changed into her going away outfit as was tradition and then we left in my Chevrolet, suitably festooned with shaving cream and cans. We met Jasper back at our new house which had passed escrow earlier in the week. We hugged and then jumped into Jasper's Cadillac, which we teased him about the entire time saying he just bought it because Elvis had one. We had hoped to have a full two weeks at the cottage but since Jasper had just transferred, he could only take one weeks' leave. We decided to stay at the cabin for the week and then Bella and I would have the second week at our new home getting organized before I had to go back to work. That way we would be with Jasper whenever he wasn't working.
A few hours later, we were at the cottage that Bella had found for us and it couldn't have been more private or romantic. While Bella went to the bedroom to get changed back into her wedding gown, Jasper and I rushed around, setting up candles and clearing a space in the middle of the room so that we could dance together. With the lights off and only the candles flickering in the room it was dark and intimate, the light spilling in just a small circle. Jasper and I had remained in our morning suits and we waited within the flickering circle of light with clasped hands for Bella to join us. When we heard the door open, Jasper leaned over and fiddled with the record player and Canon in D played softly in the background again. We turned to face the door then and saw Bella walking the short distance towards us before taking our hands in hers.
