Jasper POV

When Edward slid his hand from mine, I was hurt. I tried so hard not to show it, but the spark in his eyes told me that he had. I didn't understand why he pulled away, but once Emmett said he was proud that we trusted them with this did Edward slide his hand back into mine. And then, that's when I understood. I should have known. He had allowed himself to become completely vulnerable with this. He grew up being taught not to be vulnerable. To be strong, to not let his emotions show on his face.

After we were all thoroughly drunk, we stood up from our table and left the bar. In my drunken stupor, I had managed to ask Edward if he wanted to stay the night.

To my immense disbelief, or total excitement, I couldn't tell which at the moment, he agreed readily and we headed back to my apartment.

Once we were inside the door, I kicked it shut with my foot and pushed Edward up against the wall. I crashed my lips hungrily into his, in a heated, passionate kiss. When he needed air, I didn't want to stop kissing him, so I attacked his neck next. I craved the noises he was making, so I repeated the bite and the sucking on his pulse point. I kissed down to the neck line of his shirt. I licked along one side of it, then blew my breath across it, watching as he shuddered in pleasure. I watched as his skin got goose pimples because of it. I ran my hands down his chest and toyed with the hem of his shirt, hesitant.

"May I?" I whispered while I nibbled on his ear. I felt him nod and reach for my shirt.

I lifted my hands as he tore mine off, and then it was my turn to reciprocate and pull off his. I decided to keep the same amount of clothing on as he. This way we were both exposed. I kissed back down his neck and nibbled his collarbone. I rubbed my hands over his arms, his shoulders, his chest, and his stomach. My fingers started to slowly probe his skin, memorizing it. Every indentation, every line, every dip. I trailed my lips across his pecs, flicking his nipple with the tip of my tongue, eliciting another tantalizing sound from his lips. He nearly whimpered out his moans, and it was unique and hot and I'm sure I could probably come by the sound of them alone.

I licked his other nipple and then blew on it, watching as the skin around it puckered and his nipple pebbled. I stood back up and kissed his lips once again. Edward was about a foot shorter than me and could only weigh about a buck-ten. As I kissed him and he allowed my tongue to explore the crevasse that is his mouth, I pressed my body into his and hitched one of his legs around my waist. I reached for the other one, as he fisted both of his hands into my hair. I leaned back, letting him have the room to pull himself onto me. I grabbed him under his ass, giving it one big squeeze, and carried him off into my bedroom.

Somewhere in my inebriated brain, I knew that I couldn't push it. I needed to watch for him to be afraid. Any hint of it, and when I see, I would need to stop, because I didn't want him to wake up in the morning realizing that we went too far last night and regret it.

I laid him on the bed, and leaned up on my arms.

"Edward, you need to think past the booze, and tell me your limit for tonight. Or take the lead. I don't want you to wake up in the morning regretting this," I said, locking his gaze with mine.

He reached up and stroked my cheek gently, the whispered, "I'll tell you," his eyes still locked with mine.

I smiled and leaned my body back on top of his. I sucked his nipple into my mouth and bit it gently between my teeth. Flicking it with the tip of my tongue again, Edward made that keening sound again, and my cock twitched. I rolled it between my teeth biting it just a little harder groaned when Edwards hips bucked into mine. At the sound of my groan, he bucked his hips again, and ran his jean-clad length slowly along mine, his balls hitting my head. I full-out moaned right then, and bucked against him. He groaned a different sound that sent another jolt straight to my cock. I continued to dry hump him, while he bucked back against me, while we nuzzled each other's neck. I was getting really close and I licked up his neck and whispered, "Bite me," into his ear. His kisses on my neck stopped and he repeated my move of biting and sucking on my pulse point. I cried out and came in my blues.

Edward was panting beneath me, and I pushed down harder with my hips and bite down gently on his nipple. He groaned a guttural sound that turned into a soft roar as he reached his climax. I smiled down at him, and kissed him gently on the lips. Rolling off the bed and standing I extended my hand out to him.

"Care to share a shower with me?"

He nodded and smiled, placing his hand in mine. I pulled him from the bed, and into my ensuite bathroom. As I turned the shower on, I felt Edward's arms snake around my waist. His fignertips glided along my stomach as he stepped up close behind me, and laid his head on my shoulder blade. I sighed and rested my hands on his arms.

Edward's nimble fingers made quick work of my pants, then, and slid them off my hips along with my boxers. I turned in his arms and grabbed his chin with my thumb and forefinger and lifted it up, forcing his eyes to mine, and brought my lips to his in another kiss. I sucked his tongue into my mouth as I quickly undid the button of his pants. I kissed my way slowly down his chest, then his stomach, and then slowly, I slid his pants from his hips. I kissed along the line between his hipbones, and then stood.

The shower was warm and steamy by the time I stepped into it, pulling Edward with me. I stood him under the water, and kissed him again. I could get used to kissing him. I reached behind him for my shampoo, and squeezed a dollop into my hand. Taking a step back, I worked his amazing bronze tresses into a soapy lather. As he rinsed his hair, I took the time to admire his body in all of its glory. He was lean, but defined. You could see the muscle tone beneath his soft, pale skin. His legs were thin, but toned, and I ached to kiss them, from his feet to his thighs. When I finally rose my eyes to meet his face, he had a smirk in place.

"Enjoy what you see?" he asked, one eyebrow cocked.

Arrogant S.O.B.

"Very much," I muttered.

Edward came to me then and kissed me, hard. His hand started working my hair, and I noticed he had shampoo in his hands. We kissed and cleaned each other, teasing, and by the time we had finished, the water had turned cold and we rushed to get out. I grabbed a couple of towels and tossed one to Edward, and we dried each other off, with more teasing. Once we were back inside my bedroom, I slipped on a pair of boxers, and asked him, "Pants or boxers?"

"Pants," he whispered. I threw him a pair of my flannel pajama pants and watched as he slipped them on and, because he was shorter than I was, had to roll them up three times to get them off the floor. I chuckled and pushed him onto the bed. I ran my hand up his stomach, over his chest, and up the side of his neck to cup his cheek. I kissed him gently and then laid on my back. He curled up into my side, and threw a leg and arm over me. I couldn't help the smile that found purchase on my face as he rested his head on my chest, above my heart. I kissed his hair, and wrapped my arms around him. He sighed and started to hum a tune I didn't know.

"What's that?" I whispered.

I could feel him smile against me. "A song my mom used to sing to me," he whispered.

He resumed his humming and it wasn't long until we both fell asleep.
