Chapter 2: Propositions

BPOV

I brought the phone out to the boys, who immediately tried to call their auto club. They had no success. Apparently the phone company lied, and they hadn't turned the phones on in the time slot they provided.

Knowing that they had no where to go I turned to them.

"You are welcome to join the party, as well as stay here for the night."

"No, miss, we couldn't impose on you like that."

"Peter right?"

"Yes ma'am."

"It would be no imposition, you see we just moved here, and this is our housewarming party I guess you would say. We would be more than pleased to have you join us for some drinks and dancing."

The other one spoke up. "As long as it isn't a problem for you, we truly appreciate your offer."

"Not a problem. What was your name again?"

"Jasper."

Ah yes, Jasper. He was absolutely beautiful. Don't get me wrong, both of the boys had a sort of ethereal beauty to them, his was just a bit more pronounced. I want him. I will give him a choice before the night is over.

"Follow me."

They followed like good little pets. Perhaps it wouldn't be a total loss with the one named Peter, I'm sure someone here would appreciate having someone as gorgeous as him to play with.

We walked into the party, and I immediately noticed that Charlotte and Alice were eyeing our guests as if they held the secrets to the universe. I smiled to myself, as long as they leave Jasper out of their fantasies all would be well. Charlotte beckoned Peter over to her and Alice, and they immediately struck up a conversation.

His brother, well it seems Jasper is a little reserved, some would call him shy. I turned to him and handed him a drink that I had pulled from the tray that our latest pet was carrying.

"How old are you Jasper?"

"Nineteen ma'am. How old are you?"

"Haven't you ever been told that it isn't polite to ask a lady her age?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

"No offense taken, I'm kidding. I'm eighteen. How old is your brother?"

"He's twenty one."

"Oh you guys look so much like twins, I thought maybe you were."

"No ma'am."

"Enough with this ma'am business Jasper, you make me feel old. You may call me Bella."

"Okay, Bella."

"I noticed the two of you have southern accents, so I'm assuming you aren't from Seattle. Where are you from, and what brings you to the rainiest area of the United States?"

"We're from Houston, and we were driving through, trying to get to our cousin's house. You see how well that worked out though. Where are you from. You have a peculiar accent?"

"Here and there, I was born in Italy, but I travel to the states so much I might as well be from here. I guess that's why I decided to move here."

"So who else lives here?"

"It's all my siblings and myself. We decided to move here and start fresh. I was tired of living with my father, and where one of us goes, the rest of us go. We've always been close like that."

"Everyone here is a sibling?"

"I'm the only one born to my parents, everyone else was adopted. My parents have big hearts, no matter what people may think."

"That's really awesome. So are all of you close in age?"

"Yes, the oldest is Esme, she's twenty six, the youngest is Jane, she is only fifteen."

"Who are the two Peter is getting all chummy with?"

"Those two are Charlotte and Alice. Be careful around Alice, she's the evil hyper pixie of death, she could very well bounce someone to death. Kind of like that cartoon tiger. I believe his name is Tigger."

He laughed, that sound was singularly the most wonderful sound ever to come from someone living, dead, or undead.

I decided to see if I could get a read on him. I turned my smile full force on him, and as was the intention it left him dazed. He had to be the most beautiful person inside and out. He had this glowing halo of goodness surrounding him, like an aura. He would not be like my other pets, I would give him the choice to stay or not. I finally turned my gaze away from him and let him come back to his senses.

He shook his head minutely and looked at me. "You have the most unusual eyes Bella."

"So I've been told. Silver is definitely not a normal color."

"No, it isn't. But they are most definitely beautiful."

"Thank you. Can I convince you and your brother to stay the night? It isn't really safe to be out alone in the woods after dark, and we can have Laurent look at your car in the morning. Perhaps he can figure something out for you."

"As long as you're sure it isn't a problem, I don't see why not."

I gave him another drink and waited a few moments before I asked him to dance. We made our way to the center of the floor before I stepped impossibly close to him and started swaying to the music. We must have been out there for a long time, because before I knew it Charlotte and Alice were dragging Peter away, and the music had stopped. I raised my eyes to look at Jasper's face, it didn't take an empath like my sister Rose to feel the lust radiating from the poor clueless boy before me.

I led him up to my room and we sat down on my couch. I looked him in the eye and told him I needed to speak with him about something serious. He just nodded and whispered okay.

"What I'm about to tell you may freak you out, but keep an open mind. If at any time you feel uncomfortable you may leave."

"Okay."

"I am a person who likes to keep pets. Well, people really, but I call them my pets."

"Like a submissive?"

"Exactly."

"So, what do you want with me?"

"I want to keep you Jasper. I want to make you mine."

"Why?"

"Simply because I find you beautiful. You're gorgeous inside and out."

"How do you know? You just met me."

"I have a feeling. But like I said, if you're uncomfortable you may leave when morning comes. You are not required to stay."

"Do I get some time to think about this before I have to tell you yes or no. I have to admit, this intrigues me a bit."

"You may take some time to think about it if you need to. I will never do anything to break you, and I will only do things you are comfortable with. This will be an awakening though. You will most likely find yourself being open to things you never thought possible."

"I'll give you my answer tomorrow night. Right now I'm exhausted, do you mind if I sleep?"

"No, be my guest. I'll see you in the morning. Good night sweet Jasper."

He was out before I could even finish my sentence. I spent the night watching him sleep, he really was a beauty.
