A/N:
In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 51. And on my life, hath stol'n him home to bed.
-Garrett-
I'd never brought a date to my home before and this, along with everything else tonight, signified that what was happening with Jasper was something special. I couldn't believe the risks I'd taken tonight with him in public, when I'd been meticulous from the time I'd acknowledged my sexuality to keep it under wraps.
My homophobic father and army policy had always precluded that I be open about being gay but with one kiss, Jasper had brought those barriers crashing down around me.
Soon he would be here in my home, the object of my desire, and no longer off-limits.
