---


Edward followed his brother’s scent. Jasper had a head start but he was the fastest of all the Cullen’s so it didn’t take long for him to catch up. “You need to stop this running away thing,” he stated once he had found Jasper.

“You don't understand,” Jasper replied hastily, pacing by the creek he had found. “I had to run. If I hadn't...I would've...”

“At that moment yes,” Edward agreed as Jasper’s thoughts and memories of what had happened flashed through his mind. “But you should have explained to Seth what you were feeling before. He doesn’t understand when you just run away; it makes him feel like he’s done something wrong.”

“But...that smell Edward...if I had gotten another wiff...” Jasper shook his head.

“I know. I smell it on Jacob too.” At Jasper’s look Edward shook his head. “I can’t smell what you do from Seth. Now… everything I’m about to tell you is purely my own speculation, I have no proof to confirm any of it. I believe that the scent we smell is connected to the male shifters ability to conceive. It attracts us to them, makes us want them more. I haven’t smelt Jacob’s scent since he became pregnant but this week is the week of the full moon, if my thought’s are correct…and each shifter is the same… then Seth’s scent will be at it’s strongest on the night of the full moon.”

Jasper blinked, digesting the information. “It's not even the full moon yet...” he replied, looking at his brother. “How in the hell am I suppose to resist him? He was just standing in the middle of a meadow naked earlier! He wasn't even doing anything remotely sexual and I just...I pounced on him, Edward! Like I hadn't had sex in a hundred years!”

“I act on it,” Edward stated with a shrug. “But since Seth is too young for that yet, I suggest making your hunting week that of the full moon. That way you won’t have to be tempted by being around him.”

“That's...actually a good idea,” Jasper replied, sighing softly before he looked up at his younger brother. “Is Seth okay?”

“He’s worried,” Edward replied. “But I’ll explain what I’ve told you to him when I get back.”

Jasper nodded before dragging a shaky hand through his blond hair. “I'm almost afraid to go home...what if his smell gets the better of me again? What if I can't stop myself next time?” He looked up at his brother. “What if I hurt him Edward?”

“Go hunting for the rest of this week,” Edward advised. “We are your family Jasper, we won’t let you hurt Seth, I can promise you that.”

“Would you apologize to Seth for me?” Jasper asked, immediately feeling bad that he was planning to disappear for a week after worrying his little love like he had.

“I will, though I’m sure he would love to hear from you for himself. His smell can’t affect you over the phone. You did get him that cell phone didn’t you?”

“I did,” Jasper replied, touching his side pocket, sighing in relief when he realized he had brought his too.

“Be sure to call him then.” Edward turned to head back home before looking over his shoulder at Jasper. “Hey Jasper.”

“I will,” Jasper replied, turning to disappear into the woods, but his brother's soft beckon stopped him. “Yeah?” He answered, looking back.

“Be home for Christmas, Seth’s heat will have faded by then.”

“I will be. Promise.”

Five days later, a week before Christmas and Leah’s wedding; Seth placed a small present he had gotten for Jasper under the Christmas tree. Stepping back he looked at the tree sadly. Jasper hadn’t been able to see it all decorated yet. Pulling his cell phone from his pocket he typed a new text message to his lover.

I miss you. When will you be home?

Jasper was already on his way back home. Hoping that Seth's heat had passed because he couldn't stand to be away from his little lover for another minute. Just as he entered Washington from Oregon his pocket buzzed. He paused in his run, frowning as he dug his phone out of his pocket. He grinned upon seeing who it was that sent him a text. He quickly keyed one back before setting off again.

On my way now. An hour. Maybe two.

Seth smiled. Those simple words made him so happy. Soon he would be able to see his love again.

Esme came into the living room and smiled when she saw Seth lying on the couch, a little smile on his face. “Jasper coming home?” She asked.

Seth turned his head to her and his smile widened. “He’s about an hour from being here,” he answered.

“Good! Alice and Tanya should be arriving right around then as well.”

“Let's just remember not to tell Alice about Jacob being pregnant...” Edward said, eying all that was in the room, even as Esme frowned.

“Why wouldn't you want to tell her? I'm sure she'll be delighted,” Esme replied.

Edward snorted. “That's what I'm afraid of.”

“You're afraid of? You're not the one knocked up. You won't be trapped in baby shower hell...” Jacob replied crossly, glaring half heartedly at his lover.

Seth snickered as he put his phone back in his pocket. “Oh c’mon Jake, all the games! It’ll be fun!”

“Fun?” Jacob snorted. “No. I'll pass. Leah can have all the baby showers she wants. I want no part of it.”

“But, Jacob dear...”

The teenager cringed, knowing he was about to be talked into a baby shower thanks to Esme. “Please...Esme...just...just say no...”

“...It's your and Edward's first baby...”

“Damnit! Fine! I'll have a baby shower!”

Seth laughed. “Don’t worry Jake it probably won’t be so bad. At least you get to open lots of presents!”

“For the baby!” Jacob pointed out as Edward leaned closer to him, whispering in his ear, but since everyone in the house had super natural hearing they could plainly hear.

“I can give you something else to unwrap that night.”

“Gag me!” Seth groaned burying his face under a pillow.

“You boys!” Esme sighed, shaking her head slowly before she disappeared into the kitchen to look after dinner for the shifters in the house.

“What?” Edward asked, blinking innocently.

Jacob just shook his head. “You're a pervert, babe, that's all.”

Seth raised his head and looked at Edward. “Hey Edward, did you have any luck finding a book for Jazz?”

“I ordered it last night after Jacob fell asleep,” Edward replied, grinning. “It'll be here the day after tomorrow.”

“YES! You are so the best, a pervert, but the absolute best!” Seth exclaimed as he jumped up and hugged Edward. “Just let me know when I can help at the cottage to repay you.”

Edward chuckled as he hugged the teen back. “I probably won't need you until after Christmas...hell, probably not until Emmett and Leah get back from their honeymoon. There's only so much Jacob can do in his condition.”

“You know...I'm pregnant...I don't have cancer. I can help,” Jacob interjected with a pouting frown.

“And you will, just not with the stuff I’m letting them do,” Edward replied.

“Your definition of helping is supervising everyone! I can do more than that!” Jacob replied, his voice nearing a whine as Edward wrapped his arm around his waist pulling him closer.

“Of course you can, baby, but we can hardly do that while the others are all working,” Edward pointed out in a meaningful voice as Jacob rolled his eyes.

Seth shook his head and went to the kitchen. “Do you need any help Esme?”

“Oh no, dear,” she replied with a sweet smile. “Why don't you go wait for Jasper? I'll bet he's getting close.”

Seth nodded and pulled his cell phone out. Where are you now?

A moment later his phone buzzed in his hand. Why don’t you look outside?

Seth’s face split into a grin and he ran outside looking for his lover. After a moment Jasper appeared walking out of the trees. If possible the smile on Seth’s face widened and he ran to Jasper, throwing his arms around his imprint’s neck.

Jasper caught his little love easily, hugging the teen to his chest, overwhelmed by the happiness the other felt in seeing him again. “I missed you so much!” He murmured, threading his hand through the teen's hair.

“Never more than I miss you,” Seth replied tightening his hold. “I’m so happy you’re home!”

Jasper chuckled softly pulling away from the teenage in order to cup his cheek, grinning softly as his thumb brushed his cheek. “I'm happy to be here. With you.”

“That smell is gone?” Seth asked, his eyes begging Jasper to say that it was.

Jasper buried his face in the teen's neck, inhaling his lover's scent greedily; he lifted his head and rubbed his cheek against Seth's. “Completely gone. Like it was never there.”

“Thank goodness!” Seth sighed. “Can we go downstairs? Please?”

Jasper chuckled at that. The sound was husky as he looked down at the teen. “Let's.”

Seth smiled and laced his fingers through Jasper’s as he leaned in and captured Jasper’s lips in a quick kiss. “Welcome home love.”

Jasper smiled against the sweet kiss. “It's good to be home.”

Seth nodded to the house. “Come with me and I’ll give you a proper welcome.”

“Don't have to tell me twice,” Jasper replied with a smirk before tugging the teen towards the house.

Seth followed Jasper inside. He let go of Jasper’s hand and continued onto their room as Jasper got cornered by Esme. He wanted to be ready for his lover; Seth sent a smile over his shoulder at Jasper to promise just that.

“Now, dear, I know you're impatient to go and spend some quality time with Seth, but I just wanted to let you know that Alice and Tonya are arriving this evening,” Esme said, her hands grasping his upper arms, her eyes holding his attention.

Jasper nodded. “Yes, yes. Seth told me when he called me yesterday.”

Esme nodded. “I figured as much but I just had to make sure. I expect you both to be on your best behavior.”

“Of course. As if you'd expect anything less,” Jasper replied, giving Esme a grin.

“Exactly.” She kissed his cheek. “It’s good to have you home. Now go on and have some fun.”

Jasper smiled at the woman. “See you at dinner,” he said before turning and heading right for his bedroom and his lover within.

Seth already lay on their bed, naked and slowly stroking himself. He gave Jasper a sexy smile. “I hope you don’t mind… but I wanted to get started for you.”

Jasper drank in the sight of his nude lover. His eyes dark with lust as he continued down the stairs. Glad that he did not feel the mind-numbing need he felt nearly a week ago. This feeling he could handle. This feeling he could reveal in. He stopped short of the climbing onto the edge of the bed before leaning over to brush his tongue across the reddening head of the teen's cock. “Its fine, baby.”

Seth groaned at the brief touch. “Good… but you doing that is so much better.”

“But you have no idea how sexy you look right now,” Jasper replied, standing back as he watched his lover's hand slowly stroke himself. “I almost don't want to stop you.”

“Well at least come up here so I can touch you too.” Seth pouted.

“But I have a good view right here,” Jasper replied, his lips curling into a grin as his hand brushed along Seth's thigh. “You can touch me later, I promise, but right now let me watch you.”

Seth leaned into the touch just before Jasper took his hand away. The younger pouted again until Jasper’s hand wrapped around his. Seth’s eyes fell closed at the feeling of Jasper’s cold around the hand that pumped his erection. Seth licked his lips as he started to stroke a bit faster. A groan built in his chest and slowly worked its way out of his mouth.

“That's it baby,” Jasper cooed thickly as he guided his love's hand. “Show me what you do to yourself when I'm not around.”

Seth nodded as he let his body completely relax against the pillows. There was something very erotic about Jasper watching him like this. Seth gradually worked himself up to the edge, his breathing coming out in quick pants before he met Jasper’s eyes. “Kiss me Jazz… please.”

Jasper leaned forward, draping over Seth before he pressed his lips against his lover's.

Seth moaned into the kiss. He gave himself another couple of quick strokes before he came, his cry lost into the kiss. He bit gently at Jasper’s bottom lip as the kiss ended.

Jasper panted softly as he gazed down at his lover. “That was sexy,” he replied.

Seth grinned. “Glad you enjoyed it.” He kissed Jasper again, unable to get enough of his taste.

Jasper returned the kiss eagerly, missing the feel of Seth's lips against his for the five days he was gone.

As they kissed Seth let go of his still semi-hard erection and wrapped his hand around Jasper’s, his lover having undressed while watching him. Seth stroked Jasper, the cum on his hand from his orgasm slicked Jasper up and added to the feeling.

A moan was lost to the kiss as Jasper's hips started bucking into his lover's hand, the kiss becoming more desperate as he parted Seth's lips with his own, his tongue plundering the younger's mouth as his eyes closed in pleasure.

Seth groaned, moving his hand over Jasper’s erection faster. His tongue battled against Jasper’s, not wanting to give in easily but at the same time ready to completely surrender to his elder lover.

Somehow Jasper managed to catch Seth's tongue between his teeth, he sucked gently at the muscle as they kissed, letting it go after a moment before his own tongue chased after it.

Seth’s gasp was lost in the kiss. His grip tightened around Jasper’s erection giving it a couple of rough strokes. He arched his own hips against Jasper’s, needing the friction against his newly hardened erection. Seth’s free hand found the sweet spot on Jasper’s chest, which is proceeded to tease.

Jasper groaned into the kiss, breaking it moments later before he hooked a leg over Seth's and straddled the teen's hips. Their erections brushed together. Seth's hand still wrapped around his as his fingers wrapped around the teen's wrist. “Let go,” he commanded gently, heavily.

Seth’s hand fell away from Jasper’s erection as he watched him with heated eyes. “What are you gonna do?”

Jasper's other hand wrapped around his lover's other wrist then he pinned them both over Seth's head. “You'll see. It'll feel good. I promise,” he replied softly, grinding his hips against Seth's before leaning down, pressing his lips against Seth's.

Seth groaned into the kiss as he arched up into Jasper. He nibbled at Jasper’s lips, fingers twitching, brushing against the cold one’s that held him.

The vampire broke the kiss to ask, his lips brushing against Seth's ear as he spoke, “How does that feel babe?” He kept moving his hips, Seth's arching into his own, both mimicking the movements of the intercourse that'd have to wait another few years.

“Fan-fucking-tastic,” Seth groaned. “Don’t stop.”

“No, of course not,” Jasper breathed before his lips pressed against the sweet spot just beneath Seth's ear, sucking gently at it.

Seth purred, tipping his head to the side to give Jasper better access. “God…it feels so good Jazz.”

Jasper's lips curled into a smirk against Seth's skin and he kept moving his hips, sucking gently at the shifter's skin.

Biting his lip, Seth whined as the sensations of Jasper’s actions become overwhelming, making him lose control again. Strands of cum joined those from before and splattered Jasper’s stomach.

Jasper followed Seth just moments later, his cry of joy muffled because he kept his face buried in the shifter's neck, breathing in his sweet smell.

Seth turned his head and kissed what he could of Jasper’s face as his breathing returned to normal. “That was… awesome,” he breathed.

Jasper grinned. “I'm glad you enjoyed it, love.”

“More than enjoyed it,” Seth replied with a grin of his own. He nudged Jasper’s head up so he could capture his lover’s lips in a kiss.

Jasper hummed against his lover's lips before the kiss was broken. “Want to wash up?”

“Are you going to join me?” Seth questioned.

“Wouldn't have asked if I hadn’t intended on it,” Jasper replied with a grin.

Seth kissed Jasper before smiling again. “Let’s do it love.” He wiggled under Jasper trying to get up but not succeeding. “I think you need to move, off my legs at least.”

He pushed himself off of the bed, pulling Seth up with him. “C'mon babe,” Jasper said.

Seth wrapped his arms around Jasper’s neck and his legs around Jasper’s waist. He grinned at the raised eyebrow look Jasper gave him before leaning in to take one of Jasper’s earlobes in his mouth. He growled softly, the sound clearly possessive to Jasper’s ears.

“At this rate you'll end up back on the bed, not in the shower,” Jasper moaned softly, tilting his head to the side as Seth's lips pressed against his neck.

Seth chuckled. “I’m not opposed to that… but the guests will be arriving soon so we should get cleaned up.”

“You're right,” Jasper agreed, starting towards the bathroom with Seth still in his arms. “We'll have time later on tonight anyway.”

“All the time in the world,” Seth agreed. Once in the bathroom he turned on the shower and Jasper stepped in, almost immediately pressing him up against the wall. “We won’t get clean doing that.”

“We can get clean after,” Jasper replied, his hands on Seth’s hips as he leaned down, pressing kisses along his jaw.

“True…” Seth groaned as he arched into Jasper. “It has been to long…”

Jasper hummed his agreement, not moving his lips from the younger's skin as his thumbs found the sweet spots on Seth's hips.

“Ah!” Seth exclaimed as his head tilted back against the wall. “Jazz you drive me to absolute distraction!”

The vampire chuckled softly against the younger's skin, his thumbs still pressing and rubbing against the spots as his lips brushed across the sweet spot underneath Seth's ear.

Seth moaned, arching against Jasper again, needing the friction caused between his and Jasper’s skin pressing together. The stimulation of his three sweet spots all at once was bringing his orgasm closer and closer already.

Jasper's hand abandoned one of the teen's sweet spots, sliding down his leg to grasp behind his knee; he then hooked Seth's leg over his hips, giving them better leverage to grind together as his hand returned to teasing his sweet spot.

“Un…Jazz!” Seth cried out as he came. One of Jasper’s hands came and brushed Seth’s damp hair out of his eyes before he kissed his little love.

Just seeing the teenager get off was enough to send Jasper spiraling over the edge, his groan lost to the kiss as his hand rested on the tiled wall next to his lover's head.

Seth broke the kiss only for his head to rest against Jasper’s shoulder. The younger kissed the skin there before letting his leg slide down from where it was wrapped around Jasper. Seth chuckled softly as he let his hands brush lightly against Jasper’s chest. “Showers are only this fun when you’re here.”

Jasper chuckled softly at that, pressing a kiss to the teen's forehead. “We'd better get cleaned up before we have the whole family barging in here.”

Seth nodded. “You wash my back and I’ll wash yours?”

Jasper bit his bottom lip. “If that's all you intend to do...” he replied.

Seth looked up into Jasper’s eyes. “It is. We have the rest of the night for everything else. Is that all you intend to do?”

“I'm not making any promises,” Jasper replied with a smirk.

“You had better or we really will have the whole family coming after us,” Seth stated. “I don’t know about you but I’d rather not have Jacob find us in the shower, he teases me enough as it is.”

“Oh I'm sure he and Edward had a few romps in the shower before,” Jasper replied, laughing softly as he reached for the soap. “I promise I'll keep things wholesome.”

Seth smiled and turned so Jasper could wash his back. Ten minutes later they stepped out of the shower and dried off. Seth pulled out a pair of comfortable shorts and a t-shirt to wear. Jasper walked behind him as Seth pulled the t-shirt over his head, his fingers brushing Seth’s side. Seth squeaked and yanked the shirt down as Jasper looked at him with an amused look.

“Don’t do that!” Seth exclaimed.

“Are you ticklish?” Jasper asked, his grin wide as he stepped closer to the teen, pulling him into his arms before he pressed a chaste, playful kiss to his lips.

Seth’s blush lit up his face and answered Jasper’s question. Seth felt Jasper’s fingers starting to roam his sides again and he jumped back. “No, I hate being tickled, don’t…do…it…” He warned as he stepped back, Jasper following each of his steps.

He could tell Jasper wasn’t going to give this up so he turned and ran up the stairs. Jasper could have easily caught him but he loved the chase. “NO!” Seth exclaimed as Jasper tackled him to the floor in the living room. Seth broke out into a fit of laughter as Jasper tickled his sides.

“Resorting to chasing wolves now, Jasper?”

“Be nice Tanya,” Alice scolded with a fond smile as she watched Seth and her ex tumble around on the floor.

“How could I not after coming in to such a fun event?” Tanya questioned with a laugh.

“Alice…help!” Seth begged between bits of laughter.

“Jasper's ticklish too!” Alice said, stepping closer to the pair, trying not to get ran over in the process.

“Where?! Hahaha! Jazz quit it!”

“Just...move your hand a little higher...yes! There!” Alice replied, laughing as Jasper made a very embarrassing sound before Seth flipped their positions.

“Haha! Revenge!” Seth exclaimed as he tickled Jasper.

It was then that Esme walked into the room. “Alright, boys. Call a truce before you break something.”

“Awww,” Seth pouted, his hands resting on Jasper’s chest. He looked down at his lover, a grin spreading across his face at the happy look on Jasper’s. “Truce?”

“For now,” Jasper replied as his hands brushed along the length of the younger's arms. “But this isn't over.”

Seth chuckled. “I shall never concede!” Alice giggled and Seth looked up at her smiling. He stood and wrapped the petite in a hug. “Welcome home Alice.”

Alice smiled a delighted little smile as she eagerly returned the hug. “It's good to be home!” She replied, stepping away from the teenager before turning to the woman next to her. “I don't think you've met Tanya yet. She's the head of the Denali coven.”

Seth smiled at Tanya; he held his hand out for her to shake if she wanted. “Hi Tanya, I’m Seth.”

“Hi, Seth,” she replied, taking the offered hand into her own.

Jasper got to his feet and wrapped his arms around Seth’s waist, resting his chin on the younger’s shoulder. “Tanya,” he greeted. “It has been awhile.”

“Too long,” Tanya agreed. “You don't visit for a few decades and the next thing I know you've got a house full of dogs...” Though the dogs was said fondly, no hint of disgust in her voice. “Speaking of dogs...I hear my favorite's going to have a litter.”

“That's it...I'm going back to bed,” Jacob said crossly, obviously having just woken up from a nap, as he turned on the stairs he was just coming down, running into the chest of his lover.

“Edward! Jacob! So lovely to see you!”

Edward groaned, his arms wrapping around Jacob. “Kill me now, please.”

Jasper and Seth chuckled. “What can I say Tanya? They make good companions,” Jasper said.

Alice squealed and ran to the stairs hugging Jacob. “I’m so happy for you! I did some shopping for the baby in Alaska; I have everything out in the car. We have to plan a baby shower for both you and Leah!”

Tanya laughed. Both at Alice, Edward, and Jacob and at Jasper and Seth. “Are they're any others up for adoption?” She asked, grinning playfully at the couple.

Jacob pouted even as he hugged Alice back. “Really...that's not necessary...”

Alice's mouth dropped. “Of course it is! I've got it all planned out! It'll be amazing! Just like the wedding! Speaking of the wedding...where's Leah? I have ideas to go over with her.”

“Well… Embry doesn’t have an imprint yet,” Seth mused as he leaned back against Jasper. “And Leah’s in her and Emmett’s room, she was wrapping Christmas presents about an hour ago… hard telling now though.”

“She's sleeping,” Edward volunteered, not saying what tired her out, but he figured her kid brother didn't want to know that. “And you are not to be waking her up,” he said, grabbing onto Alice's arm as she started past him.

Alice sighed. “Oh alright.” She came back down the stairs and took one of Seth’s hands. “I want you to fill me in on everything!”

“Everything might take awhile,” Jasper warned. “And Seth hasn't eaten yet.”

“Supper will be ready in the next thirty minutes,” Esme called from the kitchen.

“So fill me in on thirty minutes worth,” Alice said with a smile.

Jasper snorted with laughter at that. “Why don't you just tell us what you want to know.”

“Because I want to know everything!”

“You aren’t going to win against her Jazz,” Seth snickered.

Everything can't be condensed in thirty minutes,” Jasper pointed out to the both of them.

“So? Seth can tell me as much as he can. Why are you fighting this Jazz? Is there something you don’t want me to know?” Alice questioned.

“Oh is he having a litter too?” Tanya asked in interest, looking at the couple, an eyebrow arched.

Seth’s face lit up like the Christmas tree behind them. “No!” He exclaimed. “I’m only fourteen, waaaaay to young for kids!”

Jasper nodded. “That is correct.”

“Well..damn..” Tanya replied, frowning before she sniffed the air, cringing slightly. “Well...you've got to be fooling around...you can smell it.”

Seth turned in his lover's arms and buried his face in the elder's chest. “Please...let's not embarrass Seth, Tanya, hm?” Jasper replied.

“Aww poor little puppy embarrasses easily huh? He’ll have to grow out of that,” Tanya said.

“Be careful cause this little puppy bites back,” Jasper replied, snorting in laughter.

“Oh I would love to see that!”

“Not now Tanya.” Alice pulled Seth from Jasper’s arms and led him to the kitchen. “Start talking or I will force both you and Jasper to go shopping.”

Seth swallowed glancing back at Jasper. “Alright so…” He started talking, telling Alice whatever he could think of, leaving out certain parts. He had just made it to the shopping trip with Jasper when Esme brought him his supper. “Thanks Esme!”

"You are a life saver," Jasper said, wrapping his arm around Esme's shoulder. "She was threatening us with shopping."

Esme laughed. “Well you both could use something to wear for the wedding…”

“I can take care of that!” Alice chirped. “After you finish eating I’ll take your measurements,” she told Seth.

“Oh God no!” Jasper groaned, walking away from Esme to sit next to his lover.

Alice suddenly disappeared from Seth’s side as Emmett pulled her into a hug. “I thought I heard your voice!” The large vampire laughed.

“Oh! Does that mean Leah's awake!” Alice asked after Emmett released her from his bone crushing hug.

“Does just taking measurements mean we don’t have to go with her?” Seth questioned his lover.

“Yeah, she’ll be down in a few minutes,” Emmett answered. He smiled proudly. “Wait til you see her Alice, she’s glowing.”

“Sh! Maybe she'll forget,” Jasper replied softly, looking at the younger teen.

Alice beamed broadly at that and was already heading towards the stairs to see Leah.

Seth zipped his lips shut before going back to his supper. Things would definitely become more interesting with Alice and Tanya around. Seth smiled as his free hand went to Jasper’s, their fingers lacing together. He looked forward to it.

“How the hell do you tie this blasted thing?!” Seth demanded as he stared at himself in the mirror as he tried to tie his tie.

“First you need to calm down,” Jasper said, walking over to his lover, his own tie tied perfectly as he stepped behind the shifter. “Watch me now,” he said softly as he easily tied the tie, explaining what he was doing to the teenager.

“How come it seems so much easier when you do it?” Seth questioned watching Jasper in the mirror.

“I'm just talented like that,” Jasper replied with a smirk, turning his head slightly to press a kiss to Seth's neck before straightening up.

Seth shivered at the kiss, smiling at Jasper. “Well I can’t disagree with you there. I also can’t deny that Alice knows her stuff. We both look damn good… even if these tux’s are uncomfortable.”

“I can always take it off for you,” Jasper replied with a seductive, playful grin.

“Oh no… I’m not gonna have my sister mad at me on her wedding day for being late or having a stained tux. That will have to wait until later.” Seth straightened his tux a bit nervously. “Do you think we’ve practiced enough for me to surprise Leah with that dance?”

“You'll do fine!” Jasper assured him. “You just remember to save a dance for me.”

Seth grinned. “You can have your choice of them but that one.”

There was a knock on the door to their basement room before it opened. “It’s almost time boys!” Esme called.

Jasper laughed, giving Seth another kiss. “C'mon. Let's go get your sister and my brother married.”

---


Seth slipped his hand into Leah’s as she waited for the music to start playing. “Ready sis?” He questioned.

“You bet! I’ve never been more ready for something in my life,” she replied smiling brilliantly. “Now are you sure you want to do this? I can ask Carlisle…”

“Leah! I want to walk you down the aisle!” Seth told her. Leah’s smile softened and she hugged her brother.

“I love you Seth.”

“I love you too.”

The wedding march started to play and Seth tucked Leah’s arm through his. He kissed her cheek and then walked her down the aisle giving her to Emmett when they reached the end of it. Seth gave Leah one last kiss before giving her hand to Emmett, turning he took his seat beside Jasper, intertwining their fingers. Jasper raised Seth’s hand to his lips and kissed the warm skin as Seth’s happiness for his sister brushed over his senses.

---


Seth stepped up onto the stage that had been set up in the Cullen’s backyard. It was lightly snowing but that didn’t bother any of the guests, in fact it only made things better. He smiled at everyone as he took the mic from the DJ.

“Hey everyone, at this point of a normal wedding the bride would dance with her father… well Leah and I’s dad can’t be here right now so I’m taking his place.”

“You?” Leah questioned with a smile as she relaxed against Emmett. “Seth, you can’t dance.”

“I can Leah, so if you will…” He waved for her to come onto the dance floor. Emmett nudged Leah forward smiling.

“Go on babe.”

Everyone sat back and watched the altered father/daughter dance, but Jasper was the only on with a pleased smirk on his face, unable to look a little smug because he could feel Leah's surprise and how proud of himself Seth was. It made him feel good to know that he had a hand in this. He was even more happy when he saw Alice with the camera, giving him a thumbs up before snapping the pictures like they had discussed.

As the song ended Seth spun Leah out and then back to himself. “Congratulations Leah,” he told his sister kissing her cheek one more time. He chuckled at Leah’s look of surprise. “You can thank Jasper.”

Leah's head turned to Jasper and the vampire gave her a smile and a nod of acknowledgment as Emmett made his way onto the dance floor to have another dance with his new wife.

Seth left the dance floor to join his imprint. “Alice got the pictures?”

“From about a hundred different angles. I even think Tanya got some,” Jasper replied, giving the boy a loving smile. “You'll have your pick for Leah's gift.”

Seth returned the smile. “Great! She’ll love it.” Seth turned and watched Emmett and Leah dance before looking at Jasper over his shoulder. “So how about that dance?”

“Whenever you're ready, babe,” Jasper replied, already getting to his feet, holding out his hand for Seth.

Seth took Jasper’s hand and led his lover out onto the dance floor just as a new song started. Once in position they easily fell into the steps of a waltz. Seth smiled at Jasper. “This is one of my favorite activities with you.”

“Really?” Jasper replied, bringing the hand he held to his lips, pressing a kiss to the teen's knuckles.

“Mhm,” Seth purred, his happiness washing over Jasper’s senses.

They danced on. The song changed to a new one and changed again. But they kept right on. Eventually Emmett and Leah sat down (the heels had to have been doing a number on her back) and Edward managed to get Jacob on the dance floor for a dance or two (though what his brother had to promise to get that to happen, he'll never nor care to know because Jacob had been most adamant about not dancing).

Alice knocked on the door to the basement, waiting for permission before opening the door. Once she heard Seth say she could come down she opened the door and went down the stairs. “Oh, I love what you two have done with this place!” She said spinning to get a good look at everything.

Seth smiled as he took his tie off. “Our favorite part is the bookshelves.” Alice turned and looked at the shelves.

“Oh, those are nice.”

“Can I help you with anything Alice? Or did you just come down to look around?” Seth questioned.

“Oh! Right, I have the pictures!” She handed him an envelope full of pictures. “I printed my five favorites of you and Leah as 8 x 10’s. Jazz said that was the size of the frame you got.”

Seth nodded. “Thanks Alice!”

“You work miracles, Alice, as always.” Jasper said with a grin.

“I try,” the girl replied with a shrug and a smirk.

Seth was already going through the pictures, his smile growing. “Wow… these are amazing Alice! Jazz, which one should I use? They all look so great!” Seth spread the 8 x 10’s out on the coffee table.

Jasper looked away from Alice to look over the pictures on the table. They all were beautiful, but there was one that stood out among the other's. “I like that one,” he replied, pointing out the one.

Seth looked at the one that Jasper had pointed to. He smiled, this was it. The picture Jasper had chosen had he and Leah smiling at each other as they danced. Seth went to the closet and got the frame for the picture. Putting the picture in the frame he turned it over for a look. “It’s perfect!” He brought it over to show the two vampire’s.

Alice beamed. “Beautiful!” She replied, clasping her hands together.

“Leah will really love it,” Jasper said with a smile, laying a hand on his lover's lower back.

Seth smiled at him and went to get a box and wrapping paper from the closet to wrap it in. He returned from the closet with an already wrapped present and the photo album he had gotten for his mother in addition to the box and wrapping paper. Seth sat at the coffee table to wrap the picture frame and then started to sort out the pictures to put in the photo album for his mother.

“I’m going to take this one to the rez once I get it all wrapped up and everything,” Seth told Jasper.

Jasper nodded. “Do you want me to take you?”

“Nah, I think I can handle it,” Seth answered.

“Alright,” Jasper replied before a smirk had made his way onto his face. “I'm still not letting you take the mustang.”

“Well duh, no permit or license yet,” Seth replied without looking up.

“I'm just playing with you babe, if you're not letting me take you, how do you plan on getting to La Push?” Jasper asked. “Are you going to phase?”

“Or walk,” Seth answered with a shrug. “Not like I’ll feel the cold.”

“True,” Jasper replied, only now noticing that Alice had left sometime soon after their conversation had begun. He turned his attention back to Seth. “Are you sure you'll be okay?” He asked, stepping closer to the teen, laying a hand on his back.

“Yeah, I’m not going to talk to mom or anything, just leave this on the porch for her.” Seth smiled at the touch.

Jasper nodded. “Alright, but take your cellphone?” He asked, his hand caressing Seth's back.

Seth snickered. “If I didn’t you’d put it in my pocket.”

The vampire chuckled at that. “I'd still put my hand in your pocket if you had it,” Jasper replied with a smirk, leaning over the teen to press a kiss to his neck, his hand curling around his waist.

“Jazz…” Seth said softly. “You’re trying to distract me.”

Jasper hummed softly against Seth's skin. “Depends. Is it working?” He asked huskily.

“Almost… but I want to finish this. I want mom to have this for Christmas morning. I can unwrap you anytime,” Seth practically purred.

Jasper pressed another kiss to his lover's neck before giving him his space. “Of course. Work before play,” he replied. “I'll wait until you're finished. Then you can unwrap me all you want.”

Seth grinned. “And I will. Oh I can’t wait for tomorrow morning too! You are going to love your presents so much…I mean, I hope you do.”

“I'm sure I'll love anything you got for me, even if it was nothing at all,” Jasper replied.

“Well it’s certainly not nothing,” Seth replied.

“I know, but I just wanted you to know that you didn't need to get me anything,” the elder replied softly. “Having you is enough as it always will be.”

Seth’s hands stilled as he looked at Jasper. The love that washed over Jasper was nearly smothering… though from Seth it could never be that. Seth took Jasper’s hand and kissed his knuckles. “Right back at you Jazz.”

Jasper smiled, squeezing the hand that held his own. “Hurry up and wrap your mother's present. If you're not done soon I'll be starting without you.”

Seth laughed. “Then I’ll get to watch… doesn’t sound like a bad plan to me.” But Seth went back to working on his mother’s present. Once all the pictures he wanted to include were in the photo album and it was wrapped he wrote a short note and tape it to the front of the present. Standing he picked up the three wrapped presents and kissed Jasper. “I’ll be back in fifteen minutes.”

“Fifteen. I'll keep count. If you're not back, I'll start myself.”

“You’re tempting me to take my sweet time,” Seth teased as he headed up the stairs. Once upstairs Seth placed two of the three presents he carried under the Christmas tree. Stepping outside he set the present for his mother down and stripped, tying the clothes to his leg before phasing. He had tied a long string bow around his mother’s present so he would be able to carry it.

The journey to the reservation in his wolf form took less than five minutes. He didn’t bother to phase back as he approached his house. The lights were off but he could smell his mother inside. Seth whined softly as he lay the present on the porch in front of the front door. He nudged the note with his nose so that it was in the center, Mom visible on the front of the card.

Seth gave the house one last look before he turned and ran back into the woods. He had a rather horny imprint to get back to.

Jasper lay on their bed, keeping a close eye on his watch because he wasn't kidding. If Seth wasn't back in fifteen minutes, he was starting without him. Luckily just as he was undoing his pants, Seth came bolting down the stairs. “Right on time!” Jasper said, impressed as he smirked at his lover, delighted that his lover's mood hadn't changed since he left. He had been worried the younger would have a nasty run in with his mother, but apparently he had not.

“Well… when coming back to this… how could I not be?” Seth questioned with a grin.

Jasper smirked at that, his hand slipping into his pants. “Too true,” he agreed, sighing softly in pleasure as his fingers wrapped around his erection. “Why don't you come over here,” he replied, beckoning the younger over with his free hand as he stroked himself with the other.

Seth licked his lips and came to stand at the edge of the bed. He was content to watch Jasper just as his lover had been him.

The elder let out a soft chuckle, realizing what the teenager was doing. “So...you wanna watch?” He purred, stroking himself harder, his hips bucking into his hand. “That's fine. I don't mind putting on a show.”

“It’s a pretty good show so far, I’m enjoying myself,” Seth replied with a grin. Seth pulled his shirt over his head and let it drop to the floor. He ran a hand through his hair before letting it drift down his chest, fingers brushing lightly over his nipples.

“I can see that,” Jasper replied, his eyes watching his lover as he abandoned his cock for a moment to pull his pants completely off. His hand wrapped around his length, his thumb passing over his head, smearing the pre-come around.

Seth groaned at the sight. “Jasper… you are too sexy for words…”

“I am? Funny I think you're the one that's too sexy for words,” Jasper replied, his eyes dark in his lust as he continued to stroke himself.

“Hm… must be that you have more experience,” Seth said.

“That's got nothing to do with it,” Jasper replied, closing his eyes for a moment as he fingered the spot just under the head of his cock, letting out a soft moan before his eyes fluttered open again. “Come sit next to me, Seth. I want to touch you.”

Seth undid the button of his shorts and let them slide down his hips as he climbed onto the bed. Seth dipped his head down, licking the head of Jasper’s cock, his tongue swirling around the silt before he moved up to capture Jasper’s lips.

Jasper's groan was lost to the kiss, his free hand tangling in the younger's hair as he eagerly returned the kiss.

Seth nibbled on Jasper’s bottom lip. His own groan working its way out of his chest as Jasper’s fingers pulled on his hair gently.

Again his hand abandoned his cock, but only for a moment as his fingers found Seth's, then he took both erections into his hand. He bucked into his hand and into Seth's hips, groaning into the teen's mouth.

Breaking the kiss Seth gasped at the feeling. “Hey now… you’re supposed to be putting…” Seth moaned softly as Jasper applied more pressure. “…on a show for me.”

“I am,” Jasper replied, his lips curling into a smirk as he continued to stroke their erections. “It's an interactive show.”

“Interactive huh? So I could do this…” Seth cupped Jasper’s balls in his hand, his fingers just barely brushing that spot behind them, as he rolled the firm skin in his palm. “And there would be no complaints?”

Jasper moaned Seth's name as he arched into the younger's hand, his eyes clenching closed for a moment as he stroked their erections again. “No complaints whatsoever,” he replied.

“That’s it love, say my name,” Seth murmured against Jasper’s lips. He loved it when Jasper said his name. “Un…yes.”

His little love's name fell from his lips again, but this time it was more of a growl rather than a moan as he bucked against Seth's hips.

At the sound of the growl Seth came with a cry, his hand tightening on Jasper’s balls ever so slightly. Seth let his head rest on Jasper’s shoulder as Jasper continued bucking against his hips.

Jasper came just moments after his lover, arching his hips sharply into his lover's as he cried out the younger's name.

Seth grinned. “Well… that was fun.” He pressed a kiss to the side of Jasper’s neck.

Jasper laughed at that, tangling his clean hand in his lover's hair. “It was.”

Seth raised his head and caught Jasper’s lips. “You put on quite a show love. 5 stars.”

Jasper smiled, holding the younger teenager to him. “You know I aim to please,” he replied, softly, leaning up to catch his lover's lips in another kiss.

Seth smiled into the kiss, only breaking it when a yawn escaped him. He laughed softly. “I think all that dancing earlier took it out of me.”

“You did do an awful lot of dancing,” Jasper replied with a soft laugh. After he and Seth danced for awhile, Seth had moved on to dance with Leah again and then Alice, Tanya, Esme, and even Edward at one point.

Seth nuzzled Jasper’s neck. “It was fun, though I think I like the dance with you best. Leah sure was surprised!”

He smiled at that. “She really was. She enjoyed it,” Jasper replied, turning his head to press a kiss to his forehead. “And I enjoyed dancing with you. It was my favorite part of the evening.”

“We don’t have to give up our dance practice right? Cause I love you teaching me to dance.”

“We don't have to, though I don't think there's much left to teach you,” Jasper replied softly. “But for right now you need to get some sleep.”

Seth yawned again before he could reply. “I think there’s plenty you can still teach me.” He reached over to the bedside table and grabbed a tissue to clean up their chests and Jasper’s hand. “But yeah, sleep would be good.”

Jasper chuckled, helping where he could with cleaning them up before Seth settled back down against him. “Love you,” he murmured softly, kissing his lover's forehead again.

“Love you too,” Seth echoed resting his head on Jasper’s chest. He closed his eyes for a moment before they opened again and he glanced at the clock. “Hey Jazz.”

“Hm?”

“Merry Christmas.”

Jasper smiled at that, hugging the teen closer. “Merry Christmas,” he echoed.

The next morning Seth was woken by someone pounding on the door to their basement room. “Rise and shine little puppy!”

“Emmett…” Seth groaned burying his head under a pillow.

Jasper bookmarked his page and stood up from his futon, smiling at his little lover and his loud, obnoxious brother as he made his way over to the bed. “We'll be up soon!” He called to his brother.

“You'd better be! Or I'll come down there!”

Seth tightened his hold on the pillow he held over his head. Jasper heard him mumble something that sounded like, “Stupid cheery morning vampires…”

“C'mon baby,” Jasper cooed, crawling over the cocoon of covers that was his lover. “Don't you remember what today is?”

Seth was quiet for a moment; Jasper could almost hear the wheels of his mind turning before Seth’s excitement overtook his senses. “It’s Christmas!” Seth exclaimed throwing the covers back.

Jasper laughed at his lover's excitement. “Yes. Christmas and you can't open your presents down here.”

Seth grinned wrapping his arms around Jasper’s neck. He pecked Jasper’s lips with a quick kiss. “To true… let me pull some clothes on and we’ll go up.”

Jasper's lips curled into a grin as his lips pressed against Seth's. “Be quick. Emmett might break down the door if we're too long.”

The younger nodded taking his arms from around Jasper’s neck. Going to his dresser he pulled out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. “Ready,” he said once he had them on a moment later.

Jasper nodded. “Let's get up there then.”

Seth took Jasper’s hand and they went upstairs. Seth smiled as everyone gathered in the living room.

“I want a picture of everyone in front of the Christmas tree!” Alice exclaimed as she set her camera up on a tripod. “Everyone get together.” Alice motioned the ten vampires and shifters, including herself, together in front of the Christmas tree. Once everyone was arranged the way she wanted she went back and set the timer on the camera before returning to her place. “Say cheese!”

The ten of them smiled as the camera snapped the picture. “I want a copy of that Alice,” Seth told her.

“Me too, dear!” Esme added.

Alice laughed, going over to her camera to check the digital display of the picture. “Of course, of course. I'll make sure everyone...well, every couple anyway gets a picture.”

Esme nodded as the couples broke off to sit either on the floor or the couches. “Seth dear, would you do the honors of handing out the presents?”

“Sure thing Esme,” Seth replied. He whistled when he saw a couple of stacks of presents that had not been there the day before. It took nearly twenty minutes to pass all the presents out and by the time he was done it was obvious that the vampires had spoiled the shifters.

Nearly every vampire (save for Emmett) gave their shifter lover's sheepish smiles at the half-hearted glares they were getting. Edward looked at though he was choking back laughter, where as Jasper was muffling his own. Both knew they'd be getting a severe talking to for spoiling their mate once they were alone.

“You guys have to open your’s first,” Seth stated handing Jasper the smaller gift he had gotten him.

Jasper took the package and opened it, frowning at Edward's smirk before he opened the little white box and saw what was making Edward choke back his laughter. “Seth...” he said, looking at his little love, fingering the dog tags in the box, but not pulling them out because Edward knowing about it was torture enough, he didn't want Emmett finding out.

Seth shrugged with a smile. “I couldn’t resist.”

“I will get you for this,” Jasper threatened, a smirk appearing on his face.

“I look forward to it,” Seth replied with a smirk of his own.

“Uh-huh,” Jasper replied, shaking his head slowly, a grin on his face as he closed the box and set it aside.

Leah picked up the smallest box from her brother and Jasper. “I really have everything I need,” she said.

“We know. You’re almost as hard to shop for as a vampire who has everything,” Seth said. “But we thought this would be more useful than paint and air freshener.”

Leah raised an eyebrow. “Air… freshener?”

“Just open your present.”

Leah's eyes remained on the two for a moment before she unopened her present, wondering what they had gotten her. She unwrapped a small white box much like the one Jasper had gotten, curious she pulled the lid off and gasped. “Oh this is perfect!” She said as she lifted the extra long gold chain out of the box.

Seth grinned. “We thought it would be nice if you could wear your wedding band all the time, even when phased. I hope it fits.”

“That's so thoughtful!” Leah replied, smiling widely.

“Glad you like it,” Jasper told her as he wrapped an arm around Seth’s shoulders.

At that point the vampire’s made their mates start opening their presents all at once knowing this would take forever if each one just opened one at a time. Seth nearly passed out from the shock of receiving a laptop and flat screen TV from Jasper. He stared at both for the longest time brushing his hands over the boxes. “Wow…” Was all he could get out.

Leah picking up the second present from him and Jasper caught his attention. He nudged Jasper with a smile and nodded to his sister. Jasper looked at Leah and smiled too as she tore the paper back and a happy smile came to her face. Leah handed the gift to Emmett as she stood and came over to hug Seth with tears in her eyes. “You are the best brother ever,” she whispered.

When Leah had returned to her seat Seth handed Jasper the other gift he had gotten him. “You actually have Edward to thank for this one. I hope you like it.”

Jasper looked between his brother and his little love before opening the gift. Once the paper cleared the cover of the book, he had to stop he was so shocked. “I haven't seen this in years!” He said, looking up at his brother.

“Ebay does wonders,” Edward replied with a shrug and smirk.

Jasper snorted softly before turning to his lover. “Thank you,” he said, leaning over to press a kiss to the boy's lips. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”

Seth smiled, happy that Jasper liked his gift. “I’m glad he found the right one.”

I'm glad I found the right one, even though the bidding was vicious! That's the last time I ever bid for something on Ebay,” Edward said, shaking his head slowly as he wrapped an arm around Jacob's waist, the shifter busy trying to figure out the new phone Edward had gotten him.

Seth laughed. “You’ll have to read it to me later,” he told Jasper.

“Promise,” Jasper replied.

It took nearly two hours but finally the last present was opened and thank you’s had been said. They all helped Esme clean up the living room before Emmett and Leah went to pack for their honeymoon. Seth arranged everything he had gotten so it could be easily carried downstairs.

“I can’t believe you got me a laptop and TV!” He stated running a hand through his hair.

“I can't believe you weren't expecting it,” Jasper laughed as he followed his lover, grinning.

“One yes, but not both,” Seth said. “You have nothing to get me for my birthday now…though I’m sure you’ll find something.”

“I have awhile to come up with an idea,” Jasper replied.

“That you do,” Seth agreed. After setting his presents down he turned and waited for Jasper to do the same before kissing him. “Thank you for everything.”

“You are welcome,” Jasper replied, both hands holding Seth's cheeks as he leaded down to press another chaste kiss to his lips. “Thank you for everything.”

---


A month later as Seth’s 15th birthday approached Jasper started to smell that smell on Seth again. He tried to ignore it, he really did but the pull was just too strong… and he needed to hunt. Now he just had to figure out how to break the news to Seth that he wouldn’t be there for his birthday.

He pushed a hand through his blond hair and sat on his futon. He waited for his lover to come down from dinner, using the few moments alone to work out a way to let the younger know that he had to leave for a few days. Hopefully Seth would understand.

Seth was chuckling to himself when he came down the stairs. “I’m convinced that Emmett should have been a comedian,” he said looking at Jasper. His smile turned into a frown when he saw his lover’s gloomy expression. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

“I, um, need to leave for a few days,” Jasper answered softly. He had decided just to come right out with it. Seth would know if he tried to lie and, really, he couldn't lie to the younger boy.

“But… my birthday…” Seth started before he noticed Jasper’s eyes. “You need to hunt. And…” He glanced at the calendar. “And it’s almost the full moon.”

Jasper nodded. “I've tried...to fight it as long as I can,” he murmured softly, giving the shifter an apologetic look. “But it's getting harder and your birthday falls on the night when it'll be the strongest...I don't want to...I can't let happen what happened last month.”

Seth nodded as he came closer to cup Jasper’s cheek in his hand. Jasper could tell that he was sad but understood. “Hey, it’s okay. We’ll just celebrate when you get back. No big deal.”

“I promise I'll make it up to you,” Jasper replied softly, leaning into the younger's touch with a deep sigh, his body shivering in delight at the smell overtaking Seth.

The younger smiled. “I’m sure you will and I for one can’t wait. Will you leave tonight?”

Jasper nodded. “Tonight. Probably after you fall asleep,” he replied, not trusting himself to stick around any longer, especially not an extended amount of time alone with his little lover.

Seth nodded as he ran a hand through Jasper’s hair. “Could I give you something for the road or is the scent to strong?”

“I'd like to think I'd be okay,” Jasper replied, looking up at the younger, showing that he wanted to so badly. “But the truth is I just don't know.” Or maybe he was just too afraid to risk it.

“Just a kiss then.” Seth sat himself on Jasper’s lap, his hands taking hold of Jasper’s so he wouldn’t reach for any sweet spots. Leaning in he gave Jasper a deep kiss, pouring all of his longing into it. He felt Jasper’s hands shake where he held them so he pulled back. “I love you Jazz.”

Jasper struggled to keep himself under control, closing his eyes for a moment. “I love you too,” he replied, his voice rough with his desire.

Seth sighed softly and lay his head against Jasper’s shoulder. A few hours later Jasper put Seth to bed and gave him a kiss on his forehead. “Call me tomorrow,” Seth mumbled sleepily.

“First thing,” Jasper promised, unable to resist the urge to steal one last kiss before he left.
