I don't own Twilight. Beacullen wrote a wonderful review for Hard Labor. You can find it here: h tt p: / twific reviewsa-z. blogspot. com/. Be sure to head over there and check it out and leave her some love! :)
This is a slash story with m/m lemons involved and language. If you're under 18 or that's not your thing, please just hit the red X.
There will be alternate POV's every day. They are both pretty damn talkative now!
Reviewer of the day goes to…. featherme who said, "Whenever I see a hay bale from now on I'll think of Edward, Jasper, spanking, and 69'ing. (Too bad I don't live on a farm!)" I know! I don't live on one either, but there are a bunch all around me. Inspiration for the hay bale was thanks to AJasperForMe. She sends me such yummy pics on Twitter of our boys. :)
Chapter 70 - Surprise
J-
Our little encounter up in the hayloft was quite an eye opening experience. Who knew a little role play could be so fucking hot?
It wasn't like we really needed to spice up our love life or anything, but it did open things up to a lot of fun possibilities.
Edward called on Sunday saying his mom was ecstatic to come out to the farm and meet my parents. As much as I will love getting to know his mom, I fucking hate the thought of his dad sitting at the table with us. The tension in the room is going to be unbearable. I'm going to be ready to go off if he says anything about my boy, and I know Edward is going to be nervous waiting for that to happen. If I could think of any way out of this, I would.
Maybe I could fake being sick and just stay up in my room. No, I couldn't do that to Edward. I know he's going to need me down there with him tonight.
The week has gone by in a blur of work and being with Edward. He never stays too long after we finish up for the day, but seeing him here even if we're just working makes up for that.
In the evening, I have my phone with me at all times. I try not to make it noticeable that I'm texting him all the time, but mom's caught me and asked who I was talking to a couple of times. I told her Emmett one time and Peter the other. She just smiled and said to tell them hi from her.
Before Edward left today, he pulled me over to the corner of the barn and gave me a very sweet and sensual kiss. I thought he was going to start something we couldn't finish, but he pulled away.
"Jasper, we're going to get through this tonight. My mom can't wait to meet you guys, and I think it's good she has some nice friends here."
Now I feel guilty for not wanting them to come.
"I know it will be fine, baby. Don't worry. Mom will be sure to welcome her to the community with open arms."
Ever since he left, though, I've just been a bundle of nerves. Even helping mom out in the kitchen isn't taking my mind off them coming here tonight.
"What's going on with you? I think that carrot is cut good enough."
Looking down, I notice I've chopped it up into an orange mush.
"Sorry, I guess I've just got a lot on my mind."
"Don't worry about tonight, Jasper. Everything is going to be fine. Your dad warned me about him."
I'm shocked she would come out and say it like that. Adults around here usually don't say anything negative about other adults, at least not to us kids. It's just not respectful, even if they are douche bags.
Before I can ask to her about what dad told her, he walks into the kitchen.
"Hey Jasper, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure."
I follow him into his office on the main floor. I don't go in here a lot, because it's where he takes care of all the paperwork and business side of things for the farm. I guess I better get used to being in this room and learning all this if I'm going to take over one day.
Closing the door, he motions for me to sit down on the chair across from his work desk. What the hell is going on? He's scaring me now.
"Jasper, before Edward and his parents get here I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things."
Oh fuck, what does he know?
"No matter what that man says tonight, I don't want you to react to him or say anything in return."
"But….."
"No buts, Jasper. I'm serious. You cannot make it so Edward can't come out here and work. That boy needs to be here with us. He's grown so much more confident these past few weeks. If you make his dad angry, he won't hesitate to take that away from him."
I know he's right, but I don't want to listen. I need to defend Edward and protect him. Doesn't he understand that?
"I know what you're thinking, son. I want to protect that boy, too, but we can't do anything that clues his dad in on how very much we all care for Edward."
I don't say anything back, but dad is looking at me with such intensity. Does he know how much I really care about Edward? I'm too scared to ask him.
"Okay, I'll try. I really will."
He stands up and walks around his desk and pulls me into a hug. I know my dad loves me more than anything, but we're usually not very physical in showing it. We tough farmers have a rep to protect after all.
I guess this is okay since we're alone.
"I think I hear them pulling up. If Edward's dad starts, take a couple deep breaths and count to ten before you speak. Think about the consequences of your actions."
I just nod as we pull back from our hug. He squeezes my shoulder one last time, and then starts for the front door.
God, I hope I can keep it together tonight.
.
E-
To say I'm freaking out would be an understatement. When my mom called Esme and they arranged this dinner, I didn't really think about how terrible it could actually be.
I know that any time my dad and Jasper spend together, is just like a time bomb waiting to go off. Dad isn't shy when speaking his mind where I'm concerned, and Jasper loves me and wants to protect and defend me no matter what. It really couldn't get any worse.
Walking up to the house I've grown to love, it seems so strange to have these two very different parts of my life coming together like this. I really hope that we can all make it through this evening without any major catastrophes.
"Edward, sweetheart, come on in. And these must be your parents."
Introductions are made, and everyone is ushered into the living room while Esme gets the food on the table. I hear Jasper coming down the stairs before I see him, and I have to look away. I know that I can't be caught starting at him at all tonight. Dad maybe be an asshole, but he's not dumb. He watches me like a hawk, and I'm sure he would notice if I did anything out of line.
"Esme your home is beautiful. Thank you so much for inviting us over for dinner. "
"Oh, it's a pleasure having you, Elizabeth."
Looking over at Jasper, she just shakes her head at him.
"There you are. Jasper, this is Edward's mom, Mrs. Masen."
Jasper doesn't hesitate to walk over and shake my mom's hand.
"Mrs. Masen, it's so nice to meet you. Edward's told me so many nice things about you."
I see Jasper glance over at my dad letting him know that I sure as hell have never said anything nice about him. My dad either doesn't notice or is trying to be on his best behavior because he doesn't make a comment.
"Oh Jasper, thank you so much for taking Edward under your wing this summer. He comes home from work so happy. I know that must have a lot to do with your friendship."
Mom squeezes Jasper's hand before she lets it go. Jasper looks embarrassed by what she said. What the hell was that about?
"Come on in here everyone. Dinner is on the table."
Esme walks us around the table showing us where we should sit. She must have put in an extra section because the table is a lot longer. I'm next to Jasper, and my mom is beside me. Dad is on the other side of the table as is an empty chair.
"Weren't you all going to wait on me?"
Of fuck me. Why the hell did Rose have to be home tonight? Didn't she have some whoring to do?
"I was just about to call you to come down. Rose this is Mr. and Mrs. Masen, Edward's parents."
"It's so nice to meet you. I can see where Edward gets his handsome features from."
Thank God she wasn't looking at my dad or I would have gagged when she said that.
She sits herself down across from Jasper, and we all start passing the food around. Esme really went all out. I know she wanted to impress my mom since I told her how good of a cook she was.
"Oh Esme, this is delicious. I have to have the recipe."
"Absolutely! We wives have a little get together once a month to trade recipes and eat. Actually, we mostly just gossip, but you'll have to go with me to the next one."
"I would love that!"
I'm so glad Esme is being so nice to my mom. She deserves it with all she has to put up with.
"So Rose, has Edward here really been working when he comes out here everyday or has he been sitting inside in the air conditioning with you? Not that I can blame him if he did."
I think I'm about to throw up all this good food. Did my dad just fucking flirt with her?
"Oh, Mr. Masen I assure you that Edward works in that barn from the moment he gets here until he leaves for the day. He never comes inside to see me."
She's pouting a little, and everyone tries to laugh to ease the tension.
"Well, that doesn't surprise me at all. I should have figured he wouldn't know what to do with a beautiful woman yet. That kid was practically a hermit when we lived in the city. Always in his room or practicing that damn piano. I'm starting to worry about him."
"Ed, please. Not now!"
"Oh Lizzy, stop. We've been over this. He's just not normal. When I was his age, I was out chasing girls all the time. What the hell is wrong with him?"
Jasper is taking deep breaths and I can see his lips moving. Is he counting?
Looking over at Esme, I can see she's in just as bad a shape as Jasper is. If looks could kill, my father would be dead right on the spot.
Rose, on other hand is laughing hysterically.
"Mr. Masen, you crack me up! I think Edward is doing just fine in the girl department. Don't you know all about his girlfriend from Chicago?"
Fuck… fuck… fuck…
Well, damn. I thought the dinner was going pretty well until Rose had to open her big, whore mouth! lol How do you think Edward is going to get out of this one?
Thank you all for continuing to read this story. Thanks to mw138 who created the banner for Hard Labor you'll see if you check out the review from above. I still love the hell out of it! :)
