Blood In The Snow Chapter 20

Back to the boys...

Previously:

Jasper looks up and sees me standing there, grinning at me. I motion for him to come with me and as we head out into the woods to find our perfect tree, a light snow begins to fall.

As Edward and I wade through the knee-deep snow, I gaze at the wonder surrounding me. The forest is gilded in sparkling snow, giving the appearance of jewels. Having grown up in Chicago, I've never had the opportunity to get out away from the city and appreciate the beauty of nature. It is so quiet… apart from the calling of various birds… its like there is nothing for miles and miles. I love it. I could be happy staying here forever… as long as Edward is here with me.

I can see the vapor swirling up over Edward's head as he says something, but I can't hear him. He's pointing off to our left and as I look in that direction, I see the grove of evergreen trees. We shouldn't have any trouble finding the perfect tree in there.

Just as Edward turns around to me, a commotion in the snow-covered brush next to us grabs our attention. Alec explodes out of the undergrowth, bouncing out, absolutely delighted to see us. He dances around us, spraying snow everywhere, as we laugh helplessly at him.

"Alec!" Edward bellows. Alec barely pauses his dancing. "Alec. Sit." Alec instantly obeys, looking at him with the most innocent expression. "Don't try that innocent look on me, boy." He fights back a chuckle "Now, calm down and come on." He turns toward the evergreen grove, looking back at me. "Jasper, there's some good trees over there."

"Yeah, I see that." We head over and start searching for just the right tree. Alec 'helps', running through the trees and racing back to us to closely inspect whichever tree we're looking at. Shaking our heads at the silly dog's antics, we intertwine our hands and wander through the peaceful grove, taking our time. This must be heaven. I feel so peaceful and safe out here with my Edward.

Glancing over at his chiseled profile, I wonder how I got so lucky to have been rescued by my soul mate. He must have felt my eyes on him. A slow smile
creeps across his face as he slowly turns to me, giving me a wink, then leans in to brush his lips across mine. Groaning, I thread my fingers into the hair at the base of his skull, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Our lips part slightly to allow our tongues to stroke and worship each other. Our bodies twine tightly, lips never parting until the need for air forces us apart. Edward nuzzles the sensitive spot behind my ear, sending shivers down my body. Groaning softly, I nibble at the side of his neck, breathing in the scent of him. I'll never get enough of him. I know this.

"Mmmmm… Jasper." Edward moans softly. "We're gonna freeze if we don't start moving." Reluctantly, we part. "Let's find our tree and get back inside where it's warm."

"Good idea." I look around and spot the perfect tree. "That's it!" Edward follows my gaze and agrees with me. Even Alec seems to like it. "Alec! No!" I shout at him to stop him from claiming the tree as his own.

Edward nearly falls over laughing. "Guess… he… really likes… that one!" He manages to get out between belly laughs. I can't help but join him. Alec has no idea what is so funny, but he wants in on it… jumping up on us. "Get off, Alec." He pushes him away.

Brandishing the saw, Edward proceeds to cut down our tree. I grab hold of the trunk about half way up to steady it as Edward saws away. It's a beauty... about ten feet tall and perfectly shaped. It smells heavenly. We carefully drag it back to the house and lean it against the railing on the deck while we go inside for a warm drink and decide where to set it up.

"You know…", Edward paused, gazing out at the tree on the deck. "… we could just set it up out there… put edible decorations on it… let the birds and other animals come up and eat."

"That would be cool." I love his idea. "What would we put on it?" He shrugged. "You gotta remember, I'm a city boy… my experience with wildlife is either the animals in the zoo or the nasty pigeons in the city streets." Edward started laughing so hard, he had tears running down his cheeks. I scowl at him. "Hey. Not everyone is 'Grizzly Adams'!" I shove his shoulder, pushing him out of his chair and on to the floor, causing him to laugh even harder.

"Oh! Stop!" He gasps for breath. "Grizzly Adams!" Wrapping his arms around his stomach he rolls around on the floor, completely losing it.

I watch him for a minute, then get up out of my chair, walk to the door to the deck, open it and step out. Scooping up a handful of fresh snow, I pack it into a perfectly round snowball. Edward is still on the floor laughing as I step in the doorway to the kitchen. Lobbing the snowball at him, it lands on the side of his head, just above his right ear. He shrieks and lurches up off the floor as I run like a madman out on to the deck, frantically searching for a place to hide.

"Jasper! I'll get you for that. This is war!" He laughs as he chases me down the steps and out into the yard.

Alec sits on the deck, watching us like he thinks we've lost our minds. Maybe he's right… after all… two grown men chasing each other around the yard, knee-deep in snow, throwing great wads of the icy stuff at one another… looks crazy to Alec.

Bending down as I run from Edward, I scoop up a big handful of snow. Packing it tightly, I slide in behind the corner of the garage, hunker down and wait for Edward to come around the corner. I try to silence my gasping for air so he won't realize I'm lurking in wait for him. I can hear him coming… the snow crunching beneath his feet. Drawing back my arm, I am poised to attack, a goofy grin on my face. I have to fight back a nearly hysterical giggle.

Suddenly, he explodes around the corner, never even sees me crouched by the corner. I leap to my feet and fire the snowball, hitting him square in the back of the head, causing him to scream out like a little girl and fall over into a snowdrift. That in turn reduces me to a giggling idiot, incapable of moving. I'm laughing so hard, I can't stand and I fall to my hands and knees, desperately trying to breathe. Scrambling to get to my feet before he does, I'm suddenly attacked from behind.

"Aarrghh!" I scream out, flailing my arms, trying to dislodge the heavy weight on my back. "Edward! Help me," I beg. The weight on my back pushes me to the ground. Struggling, I twist from side to side, trying to dislodge whatever has me pinned down. I frantically look to Edward to see why he isn't helping me… only to see him helplessly laughing as he watches me trying to escape my attacker. "Edward!" He looks at me, wiping tears from his eyes, still laughing. "What the hell?"

He manages to get to his knees and reaches out toward me. "No! Off!" He shouts.

Suddenly the weight is off me. I can breathe. Cautiously, I look around, but don't see anyone else. I get up on my knees and turn to Edward. "Man… what happened? Why'd you take so long to do anything? Who was that?" I can't believe he's still laughing at me. What the hell just happened? And then… aw hell. "Alec!" The bloody dog is dancing around me with the most self-pleased look on his face. I grab up a huge handful of snow, pack it and throw it at the dog, hitting him right between the ears. Of course, that just invites the silly animal to jump back on me. We roll around in the snow, getting thoroughly coated in the wet white stuff, me laughing and him barking. Edward is reduced to hysterics. We finally call the wrestling match a draw and get to our feet, brushing off the snow, while Alec shakes so hard, he nearly knocks himself over.

"I think it's time to get back inside and warm up, don't you?" I'm shaking so hard, my teeth are chattering.

"Yeah. Don't need you getting sick." Edward grabs my hand, pulling me in close to his body, wrapping me in his arms and brushing his lips against mine. "I love you, Jasper." He murmurs, his lips more demanding against mine, his tongue sliding across my bottom lip.

I open my mouth, granting him entrance, our tongues stroking and exploring each other's mouth. Softly groaning, I entwine my fingers in his hair. Bits of snow are still there, slowly melting. Pulling away, reluctantly, my fingers trail down the back of his neck and along his chiseled jaw line. "Baby, we're both soaking wet. Let's take this inside."

Edward nods, pulling away. "Yeah… let's go get a hot bath and get you warmed back up." He gives me a wicked grin and mumbles… "amongst other things."

Our wet clothes never make it past the downstairs laundry room. I giggle as Edward chases me up the stairs to our bathroom. Sliding across the tile floor, I nearly fall into the tub before I can get stopped.

"Careful." Edward grabs me around the waist, stopping my momentum.

"Thanks." I turn on the water, adjusting it to a comfortable temperature for us. As the tub fills, Edward goes into the bedroom and gets us some dry sleep pants and t-shirts to put on after our soak. He wanders back in right as I turn the water off.

"Ready?" I step in, offering my hand to him as he steps in and settles down behind me. I slide back, resting my back against his chest, his arms wrapping around me. Sighing, I close my eyes… content. His fingers trace along the muscles in my chest, brushing across my nipples, causing them to pebble. His lips and teeth nibble across the back of my neck, his tongue soothing the bites. Goosebumps rise on my skin and I shudder.

"Cold, baby?"

"Uh uh." My eyes close and I lean my head back against him, one hand slipping up to caress his cheek. "No, not cold. Want you." I twist around, straddling him. Taking his face in my hands, I capture his lips with mine, softly moaning at his flavor. The man tastes better than anything I've ever tasted. His lips part for me, I stroke his tongue with mine, savoring his flavor. Our tongues twist and dance together. I feel his cock pressed hard against my ass. Groaning, I grind against him, desperately needing him. "Oh, god, Edward. I need you."

His hips thrust up, pressing his heavy, silken cock against my entrance. He shifts slightly so that his cock is sliding back and forth between my cheeks.
"Oh… Jasper… baby…"

I can barely think straight… all I can do right now is feel… him. "Ahhh… Ed…Edward… please." I beg him. I need to have him inside me. I feel his fingers gently stroking my entrance. "Ahhh… yes."

Jasper is moaning and writhing against my cock. Oh god… I want to slide into his warmth and make sweet love to my man. I reach to the small shelf behind me, praying the bottle of waterproof lube is still there. Yes. Coating my fingers, I stroke the edge of his puckered entrance, gently easing the tip of my index finger into his warmth. Jasper groans and shifts back, seeking to take more of me. Reaching down between us, I take his rigid cock in my other hand and stoke him slowly, in time with my probing finger. His head drops forward, resting on my chest and his breathing becomes ragged. "Feel good, baby? He moans softly. I take that as an affirmative. As I slide my finger out, I add another and slide them back in to him, curling them to try to stimulate his prostate. I know I've hit the right spot when Jasper shouts.

"Oh! Edward! Right there… I need you…need you… now!" His hands reach up and tangle in my hair, pulling me into a heated kiss, then he moves his lips to my neck and shoulder… gently biting and nibbling. He makes the most delicious sounds.

Grabbing my cock, I stroke it a couple of times to coat it with the lube, then slowly press against his entrance, easing the head in. We both groan as my head passes the tight ring of muscle just inside his entrance. I stay still for a minute to give him time to adjust to my size.

"Okay, love. You can move." His hips push down to me, sliding me deeper into him. His head falls back as he relaxes his muscles to let me all the way in. "Oh… god…. so good…"

My balls nudge against his. I wait for another minute. I know he feels full with me buried to the balls in his sexy ass. My head fall forward, resting against his forehead as I try to control the urge to just fuck him senseless. But I wouldn't hurt my love for the world… so… I gently pull back, easing nearly all the way out, just leaving the head inside him… then, sliding back all they way in… then sliding out and back in. Jasper starts bucking his hips in time with my thrusting, begging me to go harder… deeper. Shifting around, I try another angle, thrusting hard.

"Ah! That's it!" Jasper is screaming.

I continue to thrust, hitting that sweet spot with every thrust. I won't last much longer, so I reach down, grabbing his weeping cock and stroke him in time with my thrusting. "Cum for me, love. Cum for me." I beg him. My thrusting is getting erratic and I know I'm about to cum in him. I need him to cum… now. Jasper's body tenses and he freezes, then shudders and I feel him shooting his cum over my hand and on to our stomachs and chests. I push into him twice more, then shoot my sperm into his warm body.

We both slump, breathing heavily. Lifting him off my softening cock, I cradle him in my lap, brushing light kisses over his face, telling him how much I love him. When we can finally move, we crawl out of the tub, barely taking time to dry off and stumble to the bed, falling in, snuggling up together and drift off to sleep.

AN: I know I missed the boys… hope this makes it all better! *evil, wicked grin*
