Later that night after one round of intense lovemaking, homework complete and a shower Jasper put Seth to bed. He stayed until his lover was asleep and then went out to do a quick hunt for a deer.
Seth had been asleep for a little over an hour when his dreams turned dark. Usually Jasper was there and used his gift to turn Seth’s bad dreams around, not that he had them often. But tonight he wasn’t so the dream continued. He tossed and turned, the sheet getting tangled around his legs and feet. After nearly twenty minutes Seth woke and sat up gasping in breath after breath. He was covered in a cold sweat.
“Jazz?” He called softly, his heart hammering against his chest, when cold arms didn’t wrap around him. The embrace and reassurance from his imprint didn’t come. Seth glanced around their rooms but couldn’t see or smell Jasper. ‘Maybe he’s upstairs…’ He thought. Grabbing his cell phone from the bedside table, Seth texted Jasper. Jasper’s cell phone vibrated against the coffee table. Seth’s heart returned to hammering.
Jasper was just settling down to enjoy his deer when he got a very uncomfortable feeling. He frowned deeply at looked up at his brother Edward, wondering if he felt it too, but he continued on his own hunt as though he wasn't even bothered. Edward...? I'm leaving... He thought as he stood up, turning away from his meal, Edward stopping, letting his own get away.
“What's the matter?” He asked, concern in his voice.
“I don't know,” Jasper answered. “I'm going to check on Seth anyway.”
“Do you want me to save this for you?” Edward questioned motioning to the deer.
“You can have it. I don't know that I'll be back out tonight,” Jasper replied.
“Text me later so I know everything is okay,” Edward said as he kneeled beside the deer.
“I will,” Jasper replied simply before he took off into the darkness, heading towards home.
Seth was still sitting on the bed, his knees brought up to his chest, his arms wrapped around them. He was worrying his bottom lip as he waited and hoped for Jasper to get back soon.
Jasper was thankful he had convinced his brother to hunt close to home because it had taken him barely ten minutes to get back to the house and into his bedroom. “Baby...” he murmured, feeling Seth's emotions wash over him. He immediately went to his side, wrapping his arms around him. “What's the matter?”
Seth leaned into the embrace, breathing in Jasper’s scent deeply. His heart finally starting to slow down. “You weren’t here…” He whispered. “It was horrible.”
“I'm sorry, baby, I was hunting. Everything's alright now,” Jasper murmured soothingly, holding his mate.
“There was so much blood Jazz… at first I thought we were hunting together…” Seth relaxed enough to wrap his arms back around Jasper. “I’ve never had such a horrible dream.” Seth shivered.
“Everything's alright now, babe, I promise. I'm here,” Jasper cooed, pressing his lips to Seth's forehead.
Seth nodded against Jasper’s shoulder. “Sorry your hunt was interrupted.”
“It's alright. I'll just skip school tomorrow and go. No problem,” Jasper replied softly.
Seth held onto Jasper tighter. “I don’t know if I can sleep again…”
“But I'll be right here baby,” Jasper replied softly. “I'll chase all the bad dreams away. You need your sleep. You've got school tomorrow.”
Seth sighed and buried his face in Jasper’s neck, his grip tightening on his imprint. He hated how much this dream had shaken him up, it was already fading from his memory but he still didn’t want to close his eyes again for fear of it returning. “There is one thing that always puts me to sleep…”
“Yeah?” Jasper replied, his lips curling into a grin as he nudged his lover back against the pillows before he straddled his body. “And what's that baby?”
Seth smiled back at Jasper. He arched his hips up into his lover’s. “It involves a movement much like that.”
“Mhmm,” Jasper hummed in agreement, pressing his hips against Seth's as he leaned down to press a kiss to his lips. “Does it now?”
“It does. A lot of people have trouble with saying the word that it is, but I don’t. Sex, sex, sex,” Seth purred.
“What a little sex fiend you are now,” Jasper chuckled softly; leaning down to the younger's neck, nipping at the flesh playfully. “What a monster I have created. You'd gladly stay in bed with me for days on end, wouldn't you? Only stopping to eat.”
“We’ve done that…” Seth groaned.
“And still you aren't sated, my little wolf?” Jasper purred against the teenager's skin, his hands slipping down his bare sides, ticking the skin before his fingers curled in his sleeping shorts, tugging them down.
“Never,” Seth stated. “As long as you are offering I will take.” He gasped as Jasper’s fingers brushed the sweet spots on his hips.
“That's good to know,” Jasper mused thoughtfully, biting Seth's collarbone gently as his fingers continued to press into the teenager's sweet spots.
Seth wiggled under Jasper’s touches. For once he couldn’t say Jasper was teasing, his lover’s touches were easy and comforting. It was just what he wanted and needed right now.
Jasper's hands slipped further underneath his lover's shorts, rubbing his hips before his hand brushed against the teen's arousal.
Seth sucked in a sharp breath between his teeth. He arched into Jasper’s touch, begging to be touched again. “Let me undo your shirt love,” he whispered.
Jasper's fingers wrapped around his lover's cock. “By all means, baby.” He replied, sitting up a bit so Seth could reach better.
Seth groaned, his eyes closing as Jasper stroked him. His fingers shook as he undid the buttons of Jasper’s shirt. He bit his lip as Jasper stroked him. “Not fair,” he pouted.
“You just said you wanted to take off my shirt...you didn't say anything about this,” Jasper pointed out with a grin, his hand still moving.
“Oh no, not that… that’s completely fair… what’s not fair is the effect you have that causes my fingers to fumble while trying to get your shirt off.”
Jasper laughed at that. “I can't help that, baby.”
“I know.” Seth finally got the last button undone. He grinned as he pushed Jasper’s shirt from his shoulders. His eyes got a heated look in them as he looked up at his lover. Arousal spiked through Jasper as Seth bit his bottom lip.
Jasper groaned softly, his eyes fluttering as Seth's emotions flashed through him. He leaned down and captured the teenager's lips in a heated kiss, his hand moving quickly now.
Seth moaned into the kiss, nibbling on Jasper’s lip as Jasper broke away to adjust his angle. “Jazz please,” he whimpered.
“I've got to prepare you, baby.” Jasper sat back up and reached for their bedside table where they kept the lube and condoms in the top drawer.
“No condom,” Seth said watching him.
“I know, baby, it's not your heat,” Jasper replied.
“Exactly,” Seth said with a grin. He watched as Jasper got the bottle of lube from the drawer. “Might be easier if you go on and take your pants off.”
“One thing at a time,” Jasper laughed, setting the bottle down next to his lover before he unbuttoned his pants and managed to slip them off, throwing them over the side of the bed.
Seth put his hands behind his head, just watching as Jasper picked up the bottle of lube and popped the cap. He hissed as Jasper pressed one lubed finger into him. “That stuff is always so cold! Though… not as cold as you…”
“And you're always so hot and tight, baby...so fucking tight...” Jasper groaned, pushing his finger into his lover's entrance.
“One time when you like my accelerated healing huh?” Seth questioned with a smile as he pressed back against Jasper’s finger. He gasped as that finger pressed against his prostrate.
“Mhm, except it'll always hurt you no matter how many times we make love,” Jasper replied, rubbing his finger against Seth's sweet spot, biting his lower lip as he watched his lover.
“I’m okay with that though…as long as you keep touching me. Please don’t ever stop touching me,” Seth begged.
Jasper chuckled softly at that. “Never, baby, never.”
“Good,” Seth groaned. “One is good… two is better… three is excellent and the last is the best.”
“We'll get there,” Jasper promised as he pulled the single finger out, pressing two against Seth's entrance.
Seth hissed slightly in pain as he was stretched. Jasper’s free hand rested on his hip, two fingers pressing against his sweet spot, as Jasper fed feelings of pleasure into his little love to mask the pain. Seth bit his lip and arched off the bed slightly before he pressed back against Jasper’s fingers.
Jasper kept moving his fingers, pressing them deeper into his lover before he stretched them apart, stretching his lover's muscles before he pressing deeper. His fingers searched for his lover's sweet spot, finding it and rubbing against it as he stretched him.
“Ah! There Jazz!” Seth exclaimed as Jasper’s questing fingers pressed against his sweet spot.
Jasper kept moving his fingers as Seth's body shook in pleasure around him, all the while he fed the pleasure he felt from the teen right back into him as he thrust his fingers into his lover.
Seth whimpered, his head turning this way and that against his pillow as his body tried to process all the pleasure. “Nn!” Unable to deny himself any longer, one hand that had been clenching the sheets under him went to his erection and he started stroking himself.
Jasper managed to keep himself from snickering as his free hand wrapped around Seth's wrist, dragging the younger's hand away from his cock. “Now, now,” he scolded gently. “I don't remember telling you to touch yourself,” he replied, pinning Seth's hand above his head.
“But Jazz! You’re driving me crazy! I’m aching to be touched!”
“You can wait a moment,” Jasper replied, finally chuckling as he pulled his fingers free from Seth's body. “Do you want to go for three fingers?”
“If it means that you’ll touch me faster no.”
Jasper chuckled softly and reached for the lube again. “So no more fingers then,” he replied as he lubed himself up, dragging Seth closer to him before he pressed the head of his erection to his lover's entrance.
Seth groaned as Jasper pressed against him. “Cold…” He practically purred.
Jasper could feel nothing but Seth's heat surrounding him as he pushed in with a soft, pleasured sigh. “You feel so good, baby.”
“Uh-huh.” Seth could only agree as he pressing back against Jasper.
“I'm gonna move now,” Jasper murmured before he pulled himself nearly all of the way out before pressing back into him.
Seth arched off the bed as Jasper pressed back into him and then pulled out again. Over and over, slowly picking up speed as his body adjusted. Seth wiggled his wrist that Jasper had a hold of until his lover let go. Instead of reaching for himself again he laced his fingers with Jasper’s squeezing them tightly.
Jasper kept thrusting into his lover, squeezing the teenager's hand before he let it go to reach between them, his fingers wrapping his husband's erection, stroking it.
“Yes!” Seth hissed as he raised his hips, meeting Jasper’s thrusts. Semi-unconsciously he tightened his muscles around Jasper’s thrusting erection.
The vampire groaned and moved faster, the tightening setting him off more than he would've expected as he pumped Seth faster.
Seth saw stars as he closed his eyes, Jasper hitting his prostrate with each thrust. His lover was so good at that. He wasn’t going to last much longer. He felt his orgasm coiling and tightening in his lower stomach.
Jasper could feel Seth's build up and it distracted him from his own. He wanted his lover to cum. He needed Seth to cum before he did. His efforts redoubled. He pounded into his lover and stroked him faster.
“Ah!” Seth arched sharply as he came, his orgasm crashing over his and Jasper’s senses.
Jasper came immediately after Seth did, his lover's orgasm having triggered his own.
As the feelings from his orgasm, and some of Jasper’s, slowly faded Seth lay bonelessly against the mattress. He smiled at Jasper as he tried to catch his breath.
“How's that for tiring you out?” Jasper asked, smiling down at him. “Think you can sleep now?”
“Hm… I think…” Seth’s words were broken by a yawn. “…I can. Will you stay?”
“Of course,” Jasper replied, settling next to his little love, holding the teenager close.
Seth sighed, pressing even closer as he wrapped his arms around Jasper. He fought sleep for a few minutes but eventually he lost the battle. With Jasper there his nightmare did not return.
---
“Will you be back when school let’s out?” Seth questioned as Jasper pulled into his parking spot at school.
“Maybe, I don’t know though, I’ll text you if I am. I should have let you drive your car… do you want me to leave mine?” Jasper asked.
Seth rolled his eyes good naturedly. “I can walk home Jazz.”
“I don’t actually need my car,” Jasper pointed out. Plus he didn’t like the idea of leaving Seth walking with Taylor around. At least if he had the car he could get in and leave quickly if it was needed. “Please, appease me.”
“Okay, I’ll take the car.”
Jasper sighed in relief and handed Seth the keys. “Thank you baby. I’ll see you later, either this afternoon or tonight.”
Seth leaned across the console and kissed Jasper lightly on the lips. “I’ll miss you.”
Jasper smiled into the sweet kiss. “I’ll miss you more.”
“Doubtful.” Seth grabbed his backpack and got out of the car before he was tempted to keep Jasper longer. Jasper waited until Seth disappeared into the school before he got out of the car, locking the doors, and walking in the opposite direction. Once he was out of sight of any curious eyes he started to run.
---
“Alright everyone, work in pairs to complete your packet of questions,” the teacher of Seth’s English class said. Seth settled in to work on his own as the rest of his classmates moved around, chatting idly. A desk slid over to touch his and Seth got ready to tell Taylor off, he was not working on these questions with the other boy. But when he looked at the person sitting down in the other desk it wasn’t Taylor but Clarissa. In fact, Taylor stood a couple of feet away with an annoyed look on his face.
Seth gave Clarissa a smile. “Your way of saying you want to work with me?” He questioned.
“Yup,” she answered. “I’ve noticed you don’t like Taylor much so I thought I would claim you before he could.”
“Thank you. The guy really doesn’t understand the word no.”
Clarissa laughed softly. “He doesn’t. But if you and Jasper are as serious as I think you are then he’ll eventually learn.”
“We are,” Seth assured her.
She nodded. “I thought so. I’ve only seen a few couples light up the way you guys do when you see each other or are together. It’s somewhat magical.”
Seth laughed. “Never heard it put that way.”
“Should we get to work on this packet of questions? When the bell rings we can go catch the cast list together,” she offered.
“Sounds great.” They worked together until the end of class. When the bell rang both packed up their things and walked to the theater room, talking about their after school plans. Seth hoped Jasper would be waiting outside by his car but he hadn’t gotten a text yet so it would probably end up being a false hope.
A group of students were already gathered around the theater room door checking the list. Some were walking away excited, others were disappointed. Seth and Clarissa waited their turn semi-patiently. Finally Clarissa stepped up and ran her finger down the list. She didn’t have to go far since her name was listed beside the role of Titania. A smile lit up her face as she stepped aside for Seth to have a look.
“Puck!” He exclaimed with a wide smiled after a moment. “I got Puck!”
“Like there was any doubt,” Clarissa said.
“Hey it was between the two of us. We rock.” They traded high fives before leaving the school to go to their respective cars. Seth was only slightly disappointed that Jasper wasn’t waiting at his car. Oh well, he would see him tonight.
“See ya tomorrow Seth!” Clarissa called.
“Drive safe and congrats!” He replied digging Jasper’s keys out of his backpack and his cell phone from his pocket. Unlocking Jasper’s car he got in behind the wheel, his backpack going into the passenger seat. He couldn’t stop smiling as he texted Jasper to let him know that he had gotten the part of Puck.

Seth cursed softly in annoyance as he tried to enter the numbers for his math problem into his calculator. “Batteries must be dead,” he muttered. “Hey Jazz? Do you have a calculator?”
“In my bag babe,” Jasper replied, not looking up from his laptop as he worked on a report for school.
Nodding Seth stood and went to Jasper’s bag, which was resting by the bottom of the stairs. Squatting down he dug through the pockets until he found the calculator. Pressing the ‘on’ key he smiled as it responded instantly. Just as he was about to stand he noticed a book in Jasper’s bag. It didn’t look like the last book he had seen Jasper reading. Curious, Seth pushed the flap of Jasper’s bag back further to read the title.
‘Midnight Thirsts: Erotic Tales of the Vampire?’ He thought with a raised eyebrow.
“Did you find it?” Jasper called after his lover when Seth didn't come right back with the calculator.
“Hm? Oh yeah… and I found something else.” Seth pulled the book out of Jasper’s bag and turned toward his lover, still crouched near the floor. “An erotica book Jazz?” He questioned with a smirk.
Jasper looked up from his computer at that and bit back a sheepish laugh. “Uh...yeah?” He replied, giving his lover a small smile. “I got bored?”
Seth chuckled and put the book back in Jasper’s bag before he stood coming back over to the futon. “Just in school right? Not with me?”
“Of course just in school,” Jasper replied with a chuckle. “There's nothing boring about our sex life.”
Seth smiled as he sat back down and pulled his math book and notebook back into his lap. “Good, cause I know I’ve been enjoying it.”
“That's good to know,” Jasper replied.
Seth snorted. “Like you didn’t already know that.”
“True...but, I like hearing you say it.”
Seth rolled his eyes and went back to his homework. After a few minutes he paused in his writing. “You know Jazz… it’s been awhile since you read to me.”
“That's because you haven't been reading anything lately,” Jasper pointed out, glancing up at the teenager, his lips already curving into a smirk as an idea on how to remedy that formed vaguely in his mind.
“Yeah… I guess A Mid Summer Night’s Dream over and over doesn’t count huh?” Seth questioned.
Jasper laughed at that and shook his head. “No, love, it doesn't...” he replied. “But I'm sure we can find you a new book to start on.”
“And if not… a trip to New York might be required,” Seth said with a grin.
“Or maybe even both. Who knows,” Jasper replied with a chuckle.
“That would be fun! We should do it.”
A knock came at the door to their basement apartment a couple of seconds before it opened. “Seth!” Esme called. “I have your costume ready to try on!”
“Be right up!” Seth replied.
“It can certainly be arranged,” Jasper replied, saving the report he was working on before he closed his laptop. He wanted to see Seth in his costume as well.
Seth’s grin widened as he closed his math book and stood. He offered Jasper a hand to help him stand. “How’s your report coming?”
“It's practically already written, I just have to type it up,” Jasper replied. “It's not due for another two weeks though.” But at least he wouldn't have to work on it anymore.
“What’s it on?” Seth questioned as they climbed the stairs.
“The American Revolution,” Jasper replied. Which he knew quite a bit about, but he couldn't make his report show it. After all he was supposed to be a 17 year old that was just getting in depth. That and he had to keep the military strategy out of it, which is something he loved about war.
“Want me to read over it when you’re done to see if it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t know tons and tons about war strategy?” Seth offered.
“Would you please?” Jasper asked, chuckling softly. “That'd be really great.”
“Of course!” They left the basement and found Esme waiting by the stairs with his costume in her hands.
“I need you to try this on so I can see if I need to make any adjustments,” Esme told Seth handing him the costume she had made. “We’ll wait for you in the living room.”
Seth nodded. “Can and will do,” he said taking the costume from her. Going to the nearest bathroom he changed into the costume she had made. Seth admired himself in the mirror grinning. Esme had done a great job; it just needed a few minor adjustments. Leaving the bathroom he went back to the living room where Esme and Jasper were waiting. Not paying attention he didn’t realize he had an audience until he heard the giggles.
Looking up he was met with the smiling faces of Caleigh, Caleb and Lilliana. The three children covered their mouths and tried to stifle their giggles. His eyes widened for a moment before he slipped into character. Jumping up onto the coffee table playfully, Seth looked at Esme.
“Lady! What fool’s these immortal’s be!” He quoted, though paraphrasing. “Thou speak’st aright; I am the merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon, and make him smile… If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended, that you have but slumber’d here, while these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream.”
As he finished his chosen lines, Seth reached into the pouch at his waist, his fingers curling around the glitter that he had put there beforehand. Crouching down he gave the children a smile and then gently blew the glitter into their faces.
Jasper watched his lover from the doorway leading into the living room where his nieces and nephew sat, all three giggling and clapping their hands as the glitter fell around them. Once again he found himself assured that, when the time came, Seth would make an excellent father. And, once again, he realized he couldn't wait until they were ready to start a family.
Seth smiled and stood straight, winking at Jasper. He moved to get off the table but Esme stopped him.
“I can actually reach you better standing there,” she said. Seth nodded and stood still. “How does it feel?”
“A little loose in the chest,” he replied before looking down at the children. “How do I look?”
All three children agreed that Seth looked good and even asked if they could see his play as well, all three pulling the puppy dog eyes that had Jasper snickering softly as he watched.
“I would love for you guys to be there, but you’ll have to ask your Uncle Jazz and your parents since they’ll be the one’s watching you. I’ll be on stage and behind it the whole time,” Seth answered.
“Uncle Jazz!” They all chorused before jumping off of the couch and rushing over to the said vampire, grabbing onto his pant legs and looking up at him with imploring eyes. “Please, Uncle Jazz, please?”
Jasper chuckled at the trio, smiling down at them. “Let me talk to your parents then I'll let you know.”
“YAY!” The three chorused.
Esme laughed softly as she pinned the parts of Seth’s costume that she needed to fix. “Why don’t you three go play in the game room until I finish? I’ll fix you a snack once I’m done.”
“Okay!”
Seth watched the three run off shaking his head. “You could have warned me they were here,” he told her.
Esme smiled. “You did well, reacting as a true actor would.”
“They're not even in preschool yet and you're going to make them fall in love with Shakespeare,” Jasper mused with a grin, stepping over to the two, picking up the pins to hand them to Esme.
“Oh I’m sure you guys will love that,” Seth chuckled.
Jasper chuckled at that. “You would too.”
“Not as much though. I still don’t like Shakespeare as much as the rest of you,” Seth replied.
Again Jasper chuckled. “I know, love, I know.”
“Alright, all done!” Esme said. “I’ll make the adjustments tonight and have you try it on one more time before you need it for the dress rehearsal.”
Seth nodded. “We’re going to have three of them, starting next week.”
“Do you have anymore rehearsal’s this week?” Esme questioned as Seth stepped off the table.
“Tomorrow night,” Seth answered.
“How many official showings is the school doing?” Jasper asked curiously. “And do we have to reserve the tickets or anything?”
“Three. One Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each student gets a free ticket but we have to buy the ones for people who aren’t students.” Seth thought for a moment. “I think I get three free tickets for being a cast member.”
“We'll have to find out how many people are coming to see you,” Jasper replied thoughtfully, though he was fairly sure most of their family would be attending. Edward liked Shakespeare and would drag Jacob along (as long as he was feeling up to it, being pregnant and all) with the twins. Leah would see it for Seth and Emmett would tagalong to appease his daughter and wife.
“And we’ll be there of course!” Esme said, meaning her and Carlisle. “I’ll remind Carlisle that he needs opening night off work.”
Seth blushed. “You guys don’t have to come.”
“Of course we do,” Esme replied, giving Seth a wide, sweet smile.
Seth’s blush deepened but Jasper could tell that he was pleased that his family would be coming to see him. “We can find out who all is coming when the kids go home tonight, are the others coming to get them or are we taking them home?”
“Edward and Jacob will be by to pick the twins up when Carlisle's off from work. Jacob has a check up,” Esme explained. “But Lilliana's staying the night.”
Seth nodded. “I’ll text Leah and ask once I change. That way we can get the tickets tomorrow and not have to worry about it.”
“Sounds like a plan, love,” Jasper replied, giving the younger a smile.
“I’ll just go change then,” Seth said disappearing from the room.
“He’s going to be the best in the whole play,” Esme said as she put up her sewing stuff.
Jasper chuckled at that, nodding in agreement. “He sure is practicing enough to be.”
“You’ll be sick of A Mid Summer Night’s Dream by the time it’s over,” Esme teased.
“Maybe I will be,” Jasper replied, smiling at the elder woman, though he highly doubted it.
“Are any of the other students in the play talented?” Esme questioned.
“Just a few,” Jasper replied. “More than I expected for a high school play.”
“Good, it would be a let down if Seth was the only good one.”
Seth appeared then, dressed back in a loose pair of jeans and t-shirt. He had his costume over one arm and his cell phone in his other hand. “Leah and Emmett are both coming, she said that Lilli is coming too and she’s going to film it for mom.” Seth rolled his eyes at the last part.
“I'm sure your mother would love to see it,” Esme pointed out with a smile.
“Yeah… I guess she would…” Seth sighed and pocketed his phone. “Here you go.”
Esme took the costume from him, putting it away so it didn’t accidently get torn. “Would you like part of the snack I’m making for the children?”
“What are you making?”
“Vanilla ice cream with blue berries mixed in.”
“Sounds amazing, count me in!”
Jasper chuckled softly at Seth's excitement, the emotion flowing over him in waves, making him giddy.
Seth smiled at Jasper, coming over to wrap an arm around his imprint’s waist. “After my snack we can finish our homework and have the rest of the night together.”
“I like the sound of that,” Jasper replied as Lilliana came over and insistently tugged on Jasper's pant leg.
“But you'll watch a Princess movie with me, right? Uncle Seth too?”
Seth chuckled. “My vote is for Beauty and the Beast.”
Jasper tried not to chuckle, but he failed. “Beauty and the Beast it is,” he agreed.
Seth leaned down and picked up his niece. “We’ll watch after supper okay big girl?”
“Kay!” Lilliana replied, wrapping her arms around Seth's neck.
Seth nuzzled her cheek before Esme called all the children to the kitchen for their snack. Kissing Lilliana’s cheek he put her down so she could run to the kitchen. Reaching for Jasper’s hand he laced their fingers together and squeezed.
Jasper gave his lover a smile before he tugged him toward the kitchen after their nieces and nephew.

Later that night after one round of intense lovemaking, homework complete and a shower Jasper put Seth to bed. He stayed until his lover was asleep and then went out to do a quick hunt for a deer.
Seth had been asleep for a little over an hour when his dreams turned dark. Usually Jasper was there and used his gift to turn Seth’s bad dreams around, not that he had them often. But tonight he wasn’t so the dream continued. He tossed and turned, the sheet getting tangled around his legs and feet. After nearly twenty minutes Seth woke and sat up gasping in breath after breath. He was covered in a cold sweat.
“Jazz?” He called softly, his heart hammering against his chest, when cold arms didn’t wrap around him. The embrace and reassurance from his imprint didn’t come. Seth glanced around their rooms but couldn’t see or smell Jasper. ‘Maybe he’s upstairs…’ He thought. Grabbing his cell phone from the bedside table, Seth texted Jasper. Jasper’s cell phone vibrated against the coffee table. Seth’s heart returned to hammering.
Jasper was just settling down to enjoy his deer when he got a very uncomfortable feeling. He frowned deeply at looked up at his brother Edward, wondering if he felt it too, but he continued on his own hunt as though he wasn't even bothered. Edward...? I'm leaving... He thought as he stood up, turning away from his meal, Edward stopping, letting his own get away.
“What's the matter?” He asked, concern in his voice.
“I don't know,” Jasper answered. “I'm going to check on Seth anyway.”
“Do you want me to save this for you?” Edward questioned motioning to the deer.
“You can have it. I don't know that I'll be back out tonight,” Jasper replied.
“Text me later so I know everything is okay,” Edward said as he kneeled beside the deer.
“I will,” Jasper replied simply before he took off into the darkness, heading towards home.
Seth was still sitting on the bed, his knees brought up to his chest, his arms wrapped around them. He was worrying his bottom lip as he waited and hoped for Jasper to get back soon.
Jasper was thankful he had convinced his brother to hunt close to home because it had taken him barely ten minutes to get back to the house and into his bedroom. “Baby...” he murmured, feeling Seth's emotions wash over him. He immediately went to his side, wrapping his arms around him. “What's the matter?”
Seth leaned into the embrace, breathing in Jasper’s scent deeply. His heart finally starting to slow down. “You weren’t here…” He whispered. “It was horrible.”
“I'm sorry, baby, I was hunting. Everything's alright now,” Jasper murmured soothingly, holding his mate.
“There was so much blood Jazz… at first I thought we were hunting together…” Seth relaxed enough to wrap his arms back around Jasper. “I’ve never had such a horrible dream.” Seth shivered.
“Everything's alright now, babe, I promise. I'm here,” Jasper cooed, pressing his lips to Seth's forehead.
Seth nodded against Jasper’s shoulder. “Sorry your hunt was interrupted.”
“It's alright. I'll just skip school tomorrow and go. No problem,” Jasper replied softly.
Seth held onto Jasper tighter. “I don’t know if I can sleep again…”
“But I'll be right here baby,” Jasper replied softly. “I'll chase all the bad dreams away. You need your sleep. You've got school tomorrow.”
Seth sighed and buried his face in Jasper’s neck, his grip tightening on his imprint. He hated how much this dream had shaken him up, it was already fading from his memory but he still didn’t want to close his eyes again for fear of it returning. “There is one thing that always puts me to sleep…”
“Yeah?” Jasper replied, his lips curling into a grin as he nudged his lover back against the pillows before he straddled his body. “And what's that baby?”
Seth smiled back at Jasper. He arched his hips up into his lover’s. “It involves a movement much like that.”
“Mhmm,” Jasper hummed in agreement, pressing his hips against Seth's as he leaned down to press a kiss to his lips. “Does it now?”
“It does. A lot of people have trouble with saying the word that it is, but I don’t. Sex, sex, sex,” Seth purred.
“What a little sex fiend you are now,” Jasper chuckled softly; leaning down to the younger's neck, nipping at the flesh playfully. “What a monster I have created. You'd gladly stay in bed with me for days on end, wouldn't you? Only stopping to eat.”
“We’ve done that…” Seth groaned.
“And still you aren't sated, my little wolf?” Jasper purred against the teenager's skin, his hands slipping down his bare sides, ticking the skin before his fingers curled in his sleeping shorts, tugging them down.
“Never,” Seth stated. “As long as you are offering I will take.” He gasped as Jasper’s fingers brushed the sweet spots on his hips.
“That's good to know,” Jasper mused thoughtfully, biting Seth's collarbone gently as his fingers continued to press into the teenager's sweet spots.
Seth wiggled under Jasper’s touches. For once he couldn’t say Jasper was teasing, his lover’s touches were easy and comforting. It was just what he wanted and needed right now.
Jasper's hands slipped further underneath his lover's shorts, rubbing his hips before his hand brushed against the teen's arousal.
Seth sucked in a sharp breath between his teeth. He arched into Jasper’s touch, begging to be touched again. “Let me undo your shirt love,” he whispered.
Jasper's fingers wrapped around his lover's cock. “By all means, baby.” He replied, sitting up a bit so Seth could reach better.
Seth groaned, his eyes closing as Jasper stroked him. His fingers shook as he undid the buttons of Jasper’s shirt. He bit his lip as Jasper stroked him. “Not fair,” he pouted.
“You just said you wanted to take off my shirt...you didn't say anything about this,” Jasper pointed out with a grin, his hand still moving.
“Oh no, not that… that’s completely fair… what’s not fair is the effect you have that causes my fingers to fumble while trying to get your shirt off.”
Jasper laughed at that. “I can't help that, baby.”
“I know.” Seth finally got the last button undone. He grinned as he pushed Jasper’s shirt from his shoulders. His eyes got a heated look in them as he looked up at his lover. Arousal spiked through Jasper as Seth bit his bottom lip.
Jasper groaned softly, his eyes fluttering as Seth's emotions flashed through him. He leaned down and captured the teenager's lips in a heated kiss, his hand moving quickly now.
Seth moaned into the kiss, nibbling on Jasper’s lip as Jasper broke away to adjust his angle. “Jazz please,” he whimpered.
“I've got to prepare you, baby.” Jasper sat back up and reached for their bedside table where they kept the lube and condoms in the top drawer.
“No condom,” Seth said watching him.
“I know, baby, it's not your heat,” Jasper replied.
“Exactly,” Seth said with a grin. He watched as Jasper got the bottle of lube from the drawer. “Might be easier if you go on and take your pants off.”
“One thing at a time,” Jasper laughed, setting the bottle down next to his lover before he unbuttoned his pants and managed to slip them off, throwing them over the side of the bed.
Seth put his hands behind his head, just watching as Jasper picked up the bottle of lube and popped the cap. He hissed as Jasper pressed one lubed finger into him. “That stuff is always so cold! Though… not as cold as you…”
“And you're always so hot and tight, baby...so fucking tight...” Jasper groaned, pushing his finger into his lover's entrance.
“One time when you like my accelerated healing huh?” Seth questioned with a smile as he pressed back against Jasper’s finger. He gasped as that finger pressed against his prostrate.
“Mhm, except it'll always hurt you no matter how many times we make love,” Jasper replied, rubbing his finger against Seth's sweet spot, biting his lower lip as he watched his lover.
“I’m okay with that though…as long as you keep touching me. Please don’t ever stop touching me,” Seth begged.
Jasper chuckled softly at that. “Never, baby, never.”
“Good,” Seth groaned. “One is good… two is better… three is excellent and the last is the best.”
“We'll get there,” Jasper promised as he pulled the single finger out, pressing two against Seth's entrance.
Seth hissed slightly in pain as he was stretched. Jasper’s free hand rested on his hip, two fingers pressing against his sweet spot, as Jasper fed feelings of pleasure into his little love to mask the pain. Seth bit his lip and arched off the bed slightly before he pressed back against Jasper’s fingers.
Jasper kept moving his fingers, pressing them deeper into his lover before he stretched them apart, stretching his lover's muscles before he pressing deeper. His fingers searched for his lover's sweet spot, finding it and rubbing against it as he stretched him.
“Ah! There Jazz!” Seth exclaimed as Jasper’s questing fingers pressed against his sweet spot.
Jasper kept moving his fingers as Seth's body shook in pleasure around him, all the while he fed the pleasure he felt from the teen right back into him as he thrust his fingers into his lover.
Seth whimpered, his head turning this way and that against his pillow as his body tried to process all the pleasure. “Nn!” Unable to deny himself any longer, one hand that had been clenching the sheets under him went to his erection and he started stroking himself.
Jasper managed to keep himself from snickering as his free hand wrapped around Seth's wrist, dragging the younger's hand away from his cock. “Now, now,” he scolded gently. “I don't remember telling you to touch yourself,” he replied, pinning Seth's hand above his head.
“But Jazz! You’re driving me crazy! I’m aching to be touched!”
“You can wait a moment,” Jasper replied, finally chuckling as he pulled his fingers free from Seth's body. “Do you want to go for three fingers?”
“If it means that you’ll touch me faster no.”
Jasper chuckled softly and reached for the lube again. “So no more fingers then,” he replied as he lubed himself up, dragging Seth closer to him before he pressed the head of his erection to his lover's entrance.
Seth groaned as Jasper pressed against him. “Cold…” He practically purred.
Jasper could feel nothing but Seth's heat surrounding him as he pushed in with a soft, pleasured sigh. “You feel so good, baby.”
“Uh-huh.” Seth could only agree as he pressing back against Jasper.
“I'm gonna move now,” Jasper murmured before he pulled himself nearly all of the way out before pressing back into him.
Seth arched off the bed as Jasper pressed back into him and then pulled out again. Over and over, slowly picking up speed as his body adjusted. Seth wiggled his wrist that Jasper had a hold of until his lover let go. Instead of reaching for himself again he laced his fingers with Jasper’s squeezing them tightly.
Jasper kept thrusting into his lover, squeezing the teenager's hand before he let it go to reach between them, his fingers wrapping his husband's erection, stroking it.
“Yes!” Seth hissed as he raised his hips, meeting Jasper’s thrusts. Semi-unconsciously he tightened his muscles around Jasper’s thrusting erection.
The vampire groaned and moved faster, the tightening setting him off more than he would've expected as he pumped Seth faster.
Seth saw stars as he closed his eyes, Jasper hitting his prostrate with each thrust. His lover was so good at that. He wasn’t going to last much longer. He felt his orgasm coiling and tightening in his lower stomach.
Jasper could feel Seth's build up and it distracted him from his own. He wanted his lover to cum. He needed Seth to cum before he did. His efforts redoubled. He pounded into his lover and stroked him faster.
“Ah!” Seth arched sharply as he came, his orgasm crashing over his and Jasper’s senses.
Jasper came immediately after Seth did, his lover's orgasm having triggered his own.
As the feelings from his orgasm, and some of Jasper’s, slowly faded Seth lay bonelessly against the mattress. He smiled at Jasper as he tried to catch his breath.
“How's that for tiring you out?” Jasper asked, smiling down at him. “Think you can sleep now?”
“Hm… I think…” Seth’s words were broken by a yawn. “…I can. Will you stay?”
“Of course,” Jasper replied, settling next to his little love, holding the teenager close.
Seth sighed, pressing even closer as he wrapped his arms around Jasper. He fought sleep for a few minutes but eventually he lost the battle. With Jasper there his nightmare did not return.

“Will you be back when school let’s out?” Seth questioned as Jasper pulled into his parking spot at school.
“Maybe, I don’t know though, I’ll text you if I am. I should have let you drive your car… do you want me to leave mine?” Jasper asked.
Seth rolled his eyes good naturedly. “I can walk home Jazz.”
“I don’t actually need my car,” Jasper pointed out. Plus he didn’t like the idea of leaving Seth walking with Taylor around. At least if he had the car he could get in and leave quickly if it was needed. “Please, appease me.”
“Okay, I’ll take the car.”
Jasper sighed in relief and handed Seth the keys. “Thank you baby. I’ll see you later, either this afternoon or tonight.”
Seth leaned across the console and kissed Jasper lightly on the lips. “I’ll miss you.”
Jasper smiled into the sweet kiss. “I’ll miss you more.”
“Doubtful.” Seth grabbed his backpack and got out of the car before he was tempted to keep Jasper longer. Jasper waited until Seth disappeared into the school before he got out of the car, locking the doors, and walking in the opposite direction. Once he was out of sight of any curious eyes he started to run.
---
“Alright everyone, work in pairs to complete your packet of questions,” the teacher of Seth’s English class said. Seth settled in to work on his own as the rest of his classmates moved around, chatting idly. A desk slid over to touch his and Seth got ready to tell Taylor off, he was not working on these questions with the other boy. But when he looked at the person sitting down in the other desk it wasn’t Taylor but Clarissa. In fact, Taylor stood a couple of feet away with an annoyed look on his face.
Seth gave Clarissa a smile. “Your way of saying you want to work with me?” He questioned.
“Yup,” she answered. “I’ve noticed you don’t like Taylor much so I thought I would claim you before he could.”
“Thank you. The guy really doesn’t understand the word no.”
Clarissa laughed softly. “He doesn’t. But if you and Jasper are as serious as I think you are then he’ll eventually learn.”
“We are,” Seth assured her.
She nodded. “I thought so. I’ve only seen a few couples light up the way you guys do when you see each other or are together. It’s somewhat magical.”
Seth laughed. “Never heard it put that way.”
“Should we get to work on this packet of questions? When the bell rings we can go catch the cast list together,” she offered.
“Sounds great.” They worked together until the end of class. When the bell rang both packed up their things and walked to the theater room, talking about their after school plans. Seth hoped Jasper would be waiting outside by his car but he hadn’t gotten a text yet so it would probably end up being a false hope.
A group of students were already gathered around the theater room door checking the list. Some were walking away excited, others were disappointed. Seth and Clarissa waited their turn semi-patiently. Finally Clarissa stepped up and ran her finger down the list. She didn’t have to go far since her name was listed beside the role of Titania. A smile lit up her face as she stepped aside for Seth to have a look.
“Puck!” He exclaimed with a wide smiled after a moment. “I got Puck!”
“Like there was any doubt,” Clarissa said.
“Hey it was between the two of us. We rock.” They traded high fives before leaving the school to go to their respective cars. Seth was only slightly disappointed that Jasper wasn’t waiting at his car. Oh well, he would see him tonight.
“See ya tomorrow Seth!” Clarissa called.
“Drive safe and congrats!” He replied digging Jasper’s keys out of his backpack and his cell phone from his pocket. Unlocking Jasper’s car he got in behind the wheel, his backpack going into the passenger seat. He couldn’t stop smiling as he texted Jasper to let him know that he had gotten the part of Puck.
---
Seth cursed softly in annoyance as he tried to enter the numbers for his math problem into his calculator. “Batteries must be dead,” he muttered. “Hey Jazz? Do you have a calculator?”
“In my bag babe,” Jasper replied, not looking up from his laptop as he worked on a report for school.
Nodding Seth stood and went to Jasper’s bag, which was resting by the bottom of the stairs. Squatting down he dug through the pockets until he found the calculator. Pressing the ‘on’ key he smiled as it responded instantly. Just as he was about to stand he noticed a book in Jasper’s bag. It didn’t look like the last book he had seen Jasper reading. Curious, Seth pushed the flap of Jasper’s bag back further to read the title.
‘Midnight Thirsts: Erotic Tales of the Vampire?’ He thought with a raised eyebrow.
“Did you find it?” Jasper called after his lover when Seth didn't come right back with the calculator.
“Hm? Oh yeah… and I found something else.” Seth pulled the book out of Jasper’s bag and turned toward his lover, still crouched near the floor. “An erotica book Jazz?” He questioned with a smirk.
Jasper looked up from his computer at that and bit back a sheepish laugh. “Uh...yeah?” He replied, giving his lover a small smile. “I got bored?”
Seth chuckled and put the book back in Jasper’s bag before he stood coming back over to the futon. “Just in school right? Not with me?”
“Of course just in school,” Jasper replied with a chuckle. “There's nothing boring about our sex life.”
Seth smiled as he sat back down and pulled his math book and notebook back into his lap. “Good, cause I know I’ve been enjoying it.”
“That's good to know,” Jasper replied.
Seth snorted. “Like you didn’t already know that.”
“True...but, I like hearing you say it.”
Seth rolled his eyes and went back to his homework. After a few minutes he paused in his writing. “You know Jazz… it’s been awhile since you read to me.”
“That's because you haven't been reading anything lately,” Jasper pointed out, glancing up at the teenager, his lips already curving into a smirk as an idea on how to remedy that formed vaguely in his mind.
“Yeah… I guess A Mid Summer Night’s Dream over and over doesn’t count huh?” Seth questioned.
Jasper laughed at that and shook his head. “No, love, it doesn't...” he replied. “But I'm sure we can find you a new book to start on.”
“And if not… a trip to New York might be required,” Seth said with a grin.
“Or maybe even both. Who knows,” Jasper replied with a chuckle.
“That would be fun! We should do it.”
A knock came at the door to their basement apartment a couple of seconds before it opened. “Seth!” Esme called. “I have your costume ready to try on!”
“Be right up!” Seth replied.
“It can certainly be arranged,” Jasper replied, saving the report he was working on before he closed his laptop. He wanted to see Seth in his costume as well.
Seth’s grin widened as he closed his math book and stood. He offered Jasper a hand to help him stand. “How’s your report coming?”
“It's practically already written, I just have to type it up,” Jasper replied. “It's not due for another two weeks though.” But at least he wouldn't have to work on it anymore.
“What’s it on?” Seth questioned as they climbed the stairs.
“The American Revolution,” Jasper replied. Which he knew quite a bit about, but he couldn't make his report show it. After all he was supposed to be a 17 year old that was just getting in depth. That and he had to keep the military strategy out of it, which is something he loved about war.
“Want me to read over it when you’re done to see if it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t know tons and tons about war strategy?” Seth offered.
“Would you please?” Jasper asked, chuckling softly. “That'd be really great.”
“Of course!” They left the basement and found Esme waiting by the stairs with his costume in her hands.
“I need you to try this on so I can see if I need to make any adjustments,” Esme told Seth handing him the costume she had made. “We’ll wait for you in the living room.”
Seth nodded. “Can and will do,” he said taking the costume from her. Going to the nearest bathroom he changed into the costume she had made. Seth admired himself in the mirror grinning. Esme had done a great job; it just needed a few minor adjustments. Leaving the bathroom he went back to the living room where Esme and Jasper were waiting. Not paying attention he didn’t realize he had an audience until he heard the giggles.
Looking up he was met with the smiling faces of Caleigh, Caleb and Lilliana. The three children covered their mouths and tried to stifle their giggles. His eyes widened for a moment before he slipped into character. Jumping up onto the coffee table playfully, Seth looked at Esme.
“Lady! What fool’s these immortal’s be!” He quoted, though paraphrasing. “Thou speak’st aright; I am the merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon, and make him smile… If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended, that you have but slumber’d here, while these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream.”
As he finished his chosen lines, Seth reached into the pouch at his waist, his fingers curling around the glitter that he had put there beforehand. Crouching down he gave the children a smile and then gently blew the glitter into their faces.
Jasper watched his lover from the doorway leading into the living room where his nieces and nephew sat, all three giggling and clapping their hands as the glitter fell around them. Once again he found himself assured that, when the time came, Seth would make an excellent father. And, once again, he realized he couldn't wait until they were ready to start a family.
Seth smiled and stood straight, winking at Jasper. He moved to get off the table but Esme stopped him.
“I can actually reach you better standing there,” she said. Seth nodded and stood still. “How does it feel?”
“A little loose in the chest,” he replied before looking down at the children. “How do I look?”
All three children agreed that Seth looked good and even asked if they could see his play as well, all three pulling the puppy dog eyes that had Jasper snickering softly as he watched.
“I would love for you guys to be there, but you’ll have to ask your Uncle Jazz and your parents since they’ll be the one’s watching you. I’ll be on stage and behind it the whole time,” Seth answered.
“Uncle Jazz!” They all chorused before jumping off of the couch and rushing over to the said vampire, grabbing onto his pant legs and looking up at him with imploring eyes. “Please, Uncle Jazz, please?”
Jasper chuckled at the trio, smiling down at them. “Let me talk to your parents then I'll let you know.”
“YAY!” The three chorused.
Esme laughed softly as she pinned the parts of Seth’s costume that she needed to fix. “Why don’t you three go play in the game room until I finish? I’ll fix you a snack once I’m done.”
“Okay!”
Seth watched the three run off shaking his head. “You could have warned me they were here,” he told her.
Esme smiled. “You did well, reacting as a true actor would.”
“They're not even in preschool yet and you're going to make them fall in love with Shakespeare,” Jasper mused with a grin, stepping over to the two, picking up the pins to hand them to Esme.
“Oh I’m sure you guys will love that,” Seth chuckled.
Jasper chuckled at that. “You would too.”
“Not as much though. I still don’t like Shakespeare as much as the rest of you,” Seth replied.
Again Jasper chuckled. “I know, love, I know.”
“Alright, all done!” Esme said. “I’ll make the adjustments tonight and have you try it on one more time before you need it for the dress rehearsal.”
Seth nodded. “We’re going to have three of them, starting next week.”
“Do you have anymore rehearsal’s this week?” Esme questioned as Seth stepped off the table.
“Tomorrow night,” Seth answered.
“How many official showings is the school doing?” Jasper asked curiously. “And do we have to reserve the tickets or anything?”
“Three. One Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each student gets a free ticket but we have to buy the ones for people who aren’t students.” Seth thought for a moment. “I think I get three free tickets for being a cast member.”
“We'll have to find out how many people are coming to see you,” Jasper replied thoughtfully, though he was fairly sure most of their family would be attending. Edward liked Shakespeare and would drag Jacob along (as long as he was feeling up to it, being pregnant and all) with the twins. Leah would see it for Seth and Emmett would tagalong to appease his daughter and wife.
“And we’ll be there of course!” Esme said, meaning her and Carlisle. “I’ll remind Carlisle that he needs opening night off work.”
Seth blushed. “You guys don’t have to come.”
“Of course we do,” Esme replied, giving Seth a wide, sweet smile.
Seth’s blush deepened but Jasper could tell that he was pleased that his family would be coming to see him. “We can find out who all is coming when the kids go home tonight, are the others coming to get them or are we taking them home?”
“Edward and Jacob will be by to pick the twins up when Carlisle's off from work. Jacob has a check up,” Esme explained. “But Lilliana's staying the night.”
Seth nodded. “I’ll text Leah and ask once I change. That way we can get the tickets tomorrow and not have to worry about it.”
“Sounds like a plan, love,” Jasper replied, giving the younger a smile.
“I’ll just go change then,” Seth said disappearing from the room.
“He’s going to be the best in the whole play,” Esme said as she put up her sewing stuff.
Jasper chuckled at that, nodding in agreement. “He sure is practicing enough to be.”
“You’ll be sick of A Mid Summer Night’s Dream by the time it’s over,” Esme teased.
“Maybe I will be,” Jasper replied, smiling at the elder woman, though he highly doubted it.
“Are any of the other students in the play talented?” Esme questioned.
“Just a few,” Jasper replied. “More than I expected for a high school play.”
“Good, it would be a let down if Seth was the only good one.”
Seth appeared then, dressed back in a loose pair of jeans and t-shirt. He had his costume over one arm and his cell phone in his other hand. “Leah and Emmett are both coming, she said that Lilli is coming too and she’s going to film it for mom.” Seth rolled his eyes at the last part.
“I'm sure your mother would love to see it,” Esme pointed out with a smile.
“Yeah… I guess she would…” Seth sighed and pocketed his phone. “Here you go.”
Esme took the costume from him, putting it away so it didn’t accidently get torn. “Would you like part of the snack I’m making for the children?”
“What are you making?”
“Vanilla ice cream with blue berries mixed in.”
“Sounds amazing, count me in!”
Jasper chuckled softly at Seth's excitement, the emotion flowing over him in waves, making him giddy.
Seth smiled at Jasper, coming over to wrap an arm around his imprint’s waist. “After my snack we can finish our homework and have the rest of the night together.”
“I like the sound of that,” Jasper replied as Lilliana came over and insistently tugged on Jasper's pant leg.
“But you'll watch a Princess movie with me, right? Uncle Seth too?”
Seth chuckled. “My vote is for Beauty and the Beast.”
Jasper tried not to chuckle, but he failed. “Beauty and the Beast it is,” he agreed.
Seth leaned down and picked up his niece. “We’ll watch after supper okay big girl?”
“Kay!” Lilliana replied, wrapping her arms around Seth's neck.
Seth nuzzled her cheek before Esme called all the children to the kitchen for their snack. Kissing Lilliana’s cheek he put her down so she could run to the kitchen. Reaching for Jasper’s hand he laced their fingers together and squeezed.
Jasper gave his lover a smile before he tugged him toward the kitchen after their nieces and nephew.
