Three days later Seth was feeling better, he was still a little achy and slept more than usual but he didn’t sleep all day like he had the first couple of days of having the flu. He was glad that he had gotten sick on a Tuesday so that meant it was now the weekend and he wouldn’t have to worry about going back to school until Monday. Embry had brought all the homework he was missing by; Seth had sarcastically thanked him for that.
“You can't be mad at Embry,” Jasper said, trying not to snicker at his little love. “He was only trying to help. At least you won't be behind when you go back to school.”
“Uh-huh, in the meantime I get to do homework instead of something more interesting… like cuddling with you,” Seth replied as he worked a math problem.
“Cuddling?” Jasper replied with a smirk. “Finish your math and we'll cuddle...if that's all you intend to do.”
Seth chuckled. “Well it has been three days… but I have no idea of what you’re implying.”
“Sure you don't.”
“I don’t. I am completely, totally, 100% innocent.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I am!” Seth insisted. “You’re the one doing the tempting.” Seth stood, ignoring his homework for the moment as he straddled Jasper’s lap, cupping his face in his hands. “My greatest temptation.” Seth kissed Jasper’s lips.
Jasper eagerly returned the kiss, his arms wrapping around his lover's waist as he parted Seth's lips with his tongue.
Seth groaned into the kiss, more so from how they were now pressed together than from the kiss itself. He caught Jasper’s tongue with his teeth, sucking on it lightly. Burying his fingers in Jasper’s hair he tugged on the strands.
Jasper broke the kiss moment later, feeling his lover's arousal brush over him. “Homework first,” he said.
“Aw Jazz… I’ve got all weekend to finish that…” Seth kissed a trail along Jasper’s jaw.
Jasper eyes were half lidded and he tried to ignore what his younger lover was doing to him, but it was a rather impossible thing to do. “That's true...” he replied before chewing on his lower lip, arching his head to the side to give the shifter better access.
Seth grinned against Jasper’s skin as he nibbled on his lover’s neck. “It is true so you should just give in.” Seth stroked the sweet spot on Jasper’s chest through his shirt. His free hand went to the bottom of Jasper’s shirt and under it, his warm fingers running over his cold skin.
“You'd love that, wouldn't you?” Jasper panted softly, his hands going to his lover's hips.
“You’d love it more,” Seth murmured into Jasper’s ear, his tongue running along the shell of the appendage.
Jasper groaned softly, arching into the hips above his own. “Prove it,” he replied hotly.
Seth chuckled, his grin widening at getting his way. “Of course darling, I’ll make it worth your while,” he promised as he stood. Jasper gave him a confused look upon his standing.
“How are you going to make it worth my while if you're over there?” Jasper asked, sitting back up and frowning up at the younger boy.
“You’ll see,” Seth called over his shoulder as he disappeared into the closet. Jasper was tempted to follow him to try and figure out what his younger lover was planning. But Seth appeared a moment later and Jasper’s jaw dropped. “I found this the last time you were gone…” Seth ran his fingers along the brim of the cowboy hat as he strode across the floor with confidence only a wolf could have.
Jasper's lips relaxed into a smirk as he watched his younger lover. “And what do you plan on doing with that, love?”
“Well… I’m hoping you’ll like your striptease,” Seth replied. “I put on boxers just for this.”
Jasper chuckled at that. The sound was husky and clearly showing his arousal as he watched his little love.
Seth walked over to the stereo; picked up a CD he had made and placed it in. He pressed play once the CD had been read and waited a couple of seconds for the music to start. He couldn’t tell Jasper that he had planned this… well not at this moment exactly, that part had just worked out. But he had planned to perform a strip tease for Jasper, he had practiced… Edward had laughed but thankfully hadn’t told Jacob.
He danced, periodically slowly removing a piece of clothing. When he was down to just his boxers and cowboy hat he stepped up onto the coffee table and grinned down at Jasper just as the song “Cowboy” started to play.
Jasper was proud of his self control. He hadn't jumped up from his seat and tackled his lover to the ground and done naughty things to him. Yet. So far he was resisting the urge, but as he watched his lover swing his hips this way and that he wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to hold on.
Seth stepped onto the futon from the coffee table, a foot on either side of Jasper’s legs. Seth dipped his body down, just barely grazing his lips before he stood back up and danced, meaning swaying his hips and rolling his body in front of Jasper. He slid his thumbs under the hem of his boxers and started to work them down in time with the sways of his body.
Jasper's fists were clenched together and he bottom lip sucked into his mouth as he watched the teenager with lust darkened eyes. His cock throbbing in his pants and in that moment he wanted nothing more than to bury himself in the warmth of his lover's body. “Seth,” he growled lowly.
“Yes lover?” Seth purred, the boxer’s just barely covering his cock now.
Jasper pushed himself up straighter, now he was inches from Seth's barely covered cock. He gazed up at the teenager, panting softly as his hands grasped Seth's bare hips. “Finish pulling them down,” he said softly, his lips curling into a smirk.
A shiver ran through Seth at the look Jasper gave him. Obeying the command he slipped his boxers the rest of the way down his legs, lifting one foot and then the other before kicking them off the futon. He straightened up, his cock already hard stood as an offering between him and Jasper. “Did you like my dance?”
“Of course I did,” Jasper replied hotly, leaning forward to swipe his tongue across the head of his lover's erection. “More than you know.”
Seth groaned softly. “I’m glad,” he said with a smile, one hand going to Jasper’s hair. “I think you need to do more of that.”
“Do you?” Jasper practically purred, watching Seth with hungry eyes as his hand wrapped around the base of his erection, his other cupping and massaging the teen's balls before pressing against the spot just behind them.
“Ah!” Seth cried out thrusting his hips and cock closer to Jasper’s face. He bit his lip and closed his eyes in pure bliss.
Jasper caught the head of Seth's penis and sucked at it, his finger rubbing the sweet spot.
Seth whined and whimpered, the double stimulation of Jasper’s tongue grazing the sweet spot just under the head of his cock and his finger rubbing the spot behind his balls… “Oh God…”
Jasper pulled away from his lover's cock, his hand stroking it as he looked up at the teenager. “Is this what you had in mind, babe?”
“Better,” Seth panted.
Jasper smirked at that before leaning forward again, pressing a kiss to the head of his lover's cock, and then he swirled his tongue in the slit on the head.
“Mm!” Seth bucked his hips. “Jazz…please… I need you.”
Jasper's hands moved to clutch the teenager's backside as he deep throated his little lover, humming as he bobbed his head.
Seth would have fallen at that moment if not for Jasper’s hands supporting him. He bent over just slightly, his hands resting on Jasper’s shoulders, hands tightening their hold with each spike as his orgasm approached. “That’s it Jazz… more… just like that.”
Jasper kept going. Faster and faster. Sucking harder and harder. Trying to get his little lover to cum.
“AH!” Seth exclaimed as he came in Jasper’s mouth, he bucked his hips a couple of times as he rode out his orgasm. He panted, his hands running through and then gripping Jasper’s hair.
He swallowed all he was given and then pulled away. Jasper smirked up at his lover. “How was that?” He asked.
“You’re good Jazz… so very good.”
With a grin Jasper leaned back against the futon. “You're not to bad yourself,” he replied.
“Oh?” Seth grinned as he went to his knees, so that he was straddling Jasper’s lap again, he could feel Jasper’s arousal pressing against him. Seth started rocking his hips against Jasper’s. “Is this good?”
Jasper let out a sigh of pleasure, his hands grasping his lover's hips again as he bucked into him. “Mhm,” he hummed.
“I think you need to lose your pants love.”
Jasper looked down at his waist and had to nod in agreement. “You want to help me with that?”
“I can,” Seth replied getting to his feet. He offered Jasper a hand. “It’ll be easier if you stand too.”
Jasper took the offered hand and allowed the teen to help him to his feet.
Seth’s hands went to Jasper’s belt, undoing it and slowly sliding it out of the loops before his fingers went to the button and zipper. Jasper growled softly at how slowly Seth was proceeding. Seth grinned up at him, leaning in to kiss Jasper’s lips briefly. “Patience love.”
“Patience is a virtue I don't have right now,” Jasper replied hotly, gazing down at his little love.
Seth hummed in amusement. “You often don’t.”
“Then don't make me wait, lover,” Jasper replied, cupping the teenager's cheek with his hand.
“But it’s so much fun,” Seth said as he ran his fingers under Jasper’s shirt, one brushing the sweet spot next to Jasper’s belly button. Seth smirked at the gasp that left Jasper’s lips. “So much fun.”
“I didn't tease you,” Jasper pointed out.
“So?” Seth grinned. “Just because you didn’t tease me doesn’t mean that I can’t tease you.”
The vampire chuckled softly before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his lover's lips. “I'll remember that next time.”
“Not nice Jazz,” Seth pouted. His hands went to Jasper’s pants, pushing them down. “Have I ever mentioned how happy it makes me that you don’t wear underwear?”
Jasper smirked. “Plenty of times,” he replied, chuckling softly.
“Well it makes me really really happy.” Seth wrapped his arms around Jasper’s neck after one hand placed the cowboy hat on his lover. “How would you like it?”
Jasper tipped the hat up with a flick of his fingers before he leaned down to press their lips together. “However you want to give it to me babe.”
“Mm… God you are so sexy!” Seth groaned. “I think you should lay down, floor or futon, it doesn’t matter.”
Jasper smirked, stealing another kiss before he laid back down on the futon, laying in a way to where he didn't have to take off his hat. He then beckoned his lover to come with a crook of his finger.
How could Seth say no? He lay down on the futon, his face stopping just short of Jasper’s cock. Seth wrapped a hand around the hard flesh, stroking as he kissed and nipped at the inside of Jasper’s thigh.
Jasper bit down on his bottom lip and let out a sigh of pleasure. His hand tangling in his lover's hair.
Seth switched to the other thigh, sparing just a second to run his tongue over the head of Jasper’s cock, licking off the pre-cum that had gathered. He gave the other thigh the same amount of attention before returning to his prize that rested in the middle. Seth started at the base of Jasper’s cock, kissing and licking until he reached the head.
“That's it, baby...” Jasper moaned softly, his fingers gently clutching in the teenager's hair.
Swirling his tongue around the slit Seth licked off all the new pre-cum that had gathered before taking just the head into his mouth. His tongue kept teasing the slit while his teeth barely brushed that spot just under the head.
Jasper groaned and arched his hips into his lover's mouth. “God, Seth! That feels so good!”
Seth grinned as his tongue ran against that spot and then he took Jasper completely into his mouth, burying his lover’s cock in the warm heat that was his mouth. Jasper’s fingers tightened on his hair and Seth sucked hard, working his mouth and tongue over the hardened flesh at a rough and fast pace.
“Damnit Seth!” Jasper growled, clenching his teeth together as his little love worked him over.
Seth paused, his lips around just the head of Jasper’s penis. He blinked owlishly at his lover, wondering if he had done something wrong at the tone of Jasper’s voice.
Jasper looked down at the shifter. “N-no! Don't stop!” His voice was pleading, bordering on begging. “Please don't stop!”
Seth made a sound, something like a snort, before he took Jasper completely into his mouth again. He resumed his pace, the fast and rough, as he nudged Jasper’s legs further apart. When Jasper moved his leg Seth slipped a hand under and behind his balls to tease the sweet spot there. He hummed around Jasper’s erection trying to bring his lover over the edge.
Jasper's hands clenched the cushion of his futon, his hips arching sharply before his orgasm ripped through his body. “Seth!” He cried out.
Seth swallowed everything his lover gave him, he loved Jasper’s taste. After licking Jasper clean he crawled up and lay on top of his lover. “Love you,” he whispered kissing Jasper’s lips.
The vampire sighed contently against the younger's mouth, tangling his hand in the younger's hair as he wrapped an arm around his waist.
Seth grinned against Jasper’s lips. “I may have to dance just for you more often.”
The vampire chuckled softly at that. “You may,” he agreed, chastely pressing his lips against Seth's again.
“We could get a collapsible pole for down here… I saw one in Paul’s mind before, never understood the reason behind them until now,” Seth mused.
Jasper laughed louder at that. “Is that a fact?” He asked, snickering.
Seth nodded. “To young to go into a strip joint you know, but Sam and Paul have been before.”
Jasper hummed softly in understanding. “I've been to a few with Emmett. Never really lasted long because Rosalie would come tearing in there to drag Emmett out. We've tried to take Edward before...didn't really work.”
Seth snickered. “Rosalie is the jealous type huh? Why didn’t it work with Edward? Was this before Jake imprinted?”
“Yeah. Long before Jacob imprinted on him. Long before he met Bella even,” Jasper replied with a soft sigh. “Edward's always been modest. Sometimes far too modest for his own good. Jacob changed that about him.”
“Oh yeah, he was a virgin before Jake huh? At least that’s what Alice said.” Seth started to traced light patterns over Jasper’s collar bone.
“He was,” Jasper agreed. “He was determined to wait until after he had married Bella to and even then he was hesitant about sleeping with her because of her being human. We, uh, tend to lose control during sex.”
Seth looked up at him. “Do you? Is that why you’re so careful with me? Other than age of course.”
“Apparently I have remarkable self control,” Jasper replied with a smirk.
“I’ll say,” Seth muttered thinking about all the times he had tried to get Jasper to go further, not counting the times they were interrupted. His thoughts were broken by a yawn and he nuzzled Jasper’s neck. “I think I’m gonna lay down for a bit and then I’ll work on that homework.”
Jasper stroked along Seth's bare back. “I'll wake you in a few hours?” He replied.
Seth purred softly before he kissed Jasper again and got up. Pulling his sleep pants back on he started toward the bed but stopped to look back at Jasper. “You need to wear that hat more often,” he said.
Jasper pushed himself in a sitting position, grinning as he watched his lover cross the room and climb into bed. “As long as you promise it'll have the same result,” he replied with a playful smirk.
“Maybe,” Seth replied teasingly knowing his lover hated it.
“Maybe?” Jasper replied with a frown. “I don't like the sound of that.”
“I know,” Seth said with a laugh. “You’ll just have to see.”
“Then, I suppose, you'll have to wait and see if I wear the hat again,” Jasper replied with a smirk.
“Oh you will wear it again,” Seth told him.
“Oh? I will? What makes you so sure, babe?”
“Because you can’t deny something I want.”
“I can. If it's to tease you,” Jasper replied in a sing song voice.
“Only for so long, you always end up giving up in the end.” Seth stretched out, giving Jasper a sexy look. “If only because you can only deny yourself for so long.”
Jasper gazed at his little love for a long moment, but didn't deny his statement. He knew it was true as well as Seth did. He smirked at little. “That might be true, but that still doesn't mean I can't tease you.”
“And very well,” Seth agreed. “But we’ll just have to see, and maybe I need a hat of my own.”
Jasper chuckled softly. “Maybe so. It did suit you.”
“Did it?” Seth questioned as his eyes drooped sleepily. He turned on his side, arms wrapping around the pillow Jasper always leaned against when he sat with him.
“It did, but don't worry about that right now,” Jasper replied as he pushed himself off of his futon and made his way over to the bed. He crawled in next to his lover and wrapped an arm around his waist; he pressed a kiss to his neck. “Go to sleep, babe.”
Seth hummed happily, his eyes closing. Jasper reached down and brought the sheet up over him. Within a minute Seth’s breathing was even and he was sleeping.
---
A week and a half later the moon started to turn full. With it brought Seth’s heat and the time for Jasper to take his hunting trip.
“Is Edward going with you?” Seth asked as he put his homework into his backpack. He knew Emmett wasn’t going hunting with Leah getting so close to the end of her pregnancy. He hated the thought of Jasper going alone.
“Mhm,” Jasper replied, his body already thrumming with desire for his lover as his scent gradually changed. “We're going to North Carolina. They're having a mountain lion problem in the area and you know how much Edward loves mountain lions.”
“Sounds like fun,” Seth said with a grin. He glanced at the clock on the wall, “We should be going before I’m late.”
“Or before I'm tempted to make you late,” Jasper replied with a sheepish smirk as he grabbed his car keys.
“Or that,” Seth agreed with a laugh. Slinging his backpack over his shoulder they headed upstairs and out to Jasper’s mustang. Jasper and Edward were leaving after Jasper got back from taking him to school. Seth sighed, a whole week without his lover…man it sucked. Jasper took Seth’s hand and raised it to his lips. “I know, I know… I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing you when you’re gone.”
Jasper gave his hand a comforting squeeze. “I'll call you everyday. I promise.”
Seth smiled, even if there was a sad twinge to it. “It won’t be the same as you being here but it’ll help.” Seth leaned up and kissed his cheek before climbing into the car and Jasper closed the door.
Jasper walked around and climbed into the driver’s seat. After starting the car he took Seth’s hand again, stroking the warm skin between his shifter’s thumb and forefinger. As he drove over the treaty line Seth looked at him.
“I wish I could go with you.”
Jasper didn't reply to that right away. While he wished he didn't have to leave his lover for this week, he knew he couldn't stay around. And there was only one way to fix that and it was a step neither was ready to take just yet. “I know, baby.”
“Maybe this summer… when I’m out of school I can come?” Seth questioned. Jasper started to object but Seth kept talking. “We could go a week that’s not the full moon even.”
“That I can do,” Jasper replied with a sigh of relief.
Seth smiled as Jasper pulled up in front of his school. Most kids had already gone in but there were still a few lingering outside. “I’ll miss you.”
“I know. I'll miss you too. Terribly,” Jasper replied, putting the car into park before he looked at his little love.
Seth leaned across the console and gave Jasper a lingering kiss. “I’ll see you on Wednesday.” Jasper nodded and kissed Seth again before letting go of his hand. He watched the younger disappear into the school before driving away. Somehow Jasper missed the glare Seth was given as he entered the school from another boy.
---
Esme looked up from the magazine she was reading as Seth entered the house. He moved quickly and if not for her enhanced sight she probably would have missed his nudeness, but she didn’t and it worried her. Why was Seth nude? Why was he home at noon? It was Friday; he should still be at school. Standing, her magazine forgotten, she went to the basement door that led to Seth and Jasper’s room.
The door was closed but she could hear him crying inside. Knocking she asked, “Seth honey? Are you okay?”
Seth sniffed loudly. “Not really Esme.”
Esme frowned, her motherly instincts wanting nothing more than to comfort him and know what was bothering him. “May I come in?”
“I’d rather you not… I just… I just want Jasper.”
Esme closed her eyes sadly knowing that couldn’t be. “Okay honey, but if you need anything just call.”
Seth sniffed again. “Thanks Esme.”
Esme stood at the door for a moment. Her nonbeating heart aching for the boy just beyond the door. She worried her lower lip and then turned away, heading for the stairs that led to the second story and then his sister's bedroom. If Seth wouldn't tell her what was the matter, perhaps he'd tell Leah. With that hope on her mind she gently knocked at the door, moments later it was opened by her son. “Hey, Esme, what's up?” Emmett asked, his voice so soft it was nearly a whisper as he leaned against the door.
“Can I speak to Leah?” She asked, a note of worry in her voice as Emmett's lips curled into a frown.
“I'm sorry, but she's sleeping, I don't want to wake her.”
Esme nodded. “Of course. She needs her rest,” she said in understanding, thinking that, perhaps, Jacob was the next best choice.
Emmett nodded. “Sorry.” He closed the door back and Esme went to Edward and Jacob’s room, at least she didn’t have to worry about walking in on anything between the two with Edward gone.
Jacob was thumbing through a book of baby names when Esme walked in, he marked his place, his thumb pressed against the girl's name 'Caleigh' before he looked up at the woman. “Hey, Esme!” He greeted brightly with a smile.
Esme couldn’t help herself; she returned Jacob’s smile before hers faded into a frown. “Seth is home.”
Jacob blinked and glanced over at the alarm clock on his bedside table, a look of confusion on his face. “Is everything alright?” He asked, noticing it was barely past one o'clock in the afternoon. Seth, by all rights, should still be in school with at least one more period before the end of the day. “Is he sick again? The flu?”
Esme shook her head. “He didn’t say anything when he came in but… he was nude and I’m fairly certain he was crying.”
Jacob closed the book and set it aside on the bed before he swung his feet of the edge. “He wouldn't talk to you?” He replied, already walking to the door. He needed to know what was the matter with his beta.
“No, he only wants Jasper,” Esme answered. “I was hoping maybe, since Jasper can’t be here, he would talk to you.”
Jacob nodded as he passed the woman in his doorway, heading for the stairs. “I'll see what I can do, alright?” He said, glancing over his shoulder at the woman.
“Thanks Jacob, I’ll make you both a snack,” she said following him down the stairs.
“That'll be great, Esme!” Jacob replied, heading for the basement.
Esme nodded and headed for the kitchen confident that Jacob would find out what had upset Seth.
Jacob knocked on the door in a show of respect, waiting for the teen to answer his knock. “Seth?” He called. “Hey, what's up, man?”
Seth stared at the stairs and ultimately the door for a moment, he didn’t want to answer but he hadn’t locked the door and knew Jacob would come in anyway if he didn’t answer. Sighing he called, “C’mon in Jake.”
Jacob twisted the door knob and pushed the door open before he walked down the stairs. His eyes immediately landed on his beta, sitting on the futon, still naked and still crying. He heaved a soft sigh and walked over to the teen. “So you can tell me what's wrong or I can invoke my godly alpha rights on you and make you tell me.”
Seth sniffed and rubbed at the tears in his eyes. It didn’t work well as more gathered and fell. “I lost it. I phased… not in school but I had to run so no one would see. They cornered me after lunch, after the teachers had gone back to class.”
Jacob frowned as he wrapped on arm around the teen's shoulders. “Who cornered you? The other students? But I thought you were popular? I thought they liked you?”
“Raven and his group. I never had a problem with them before, never been best friends you know… but they never bothered me. I am popular and liked but they… they saw something they didn’t like.”
Jacob nodded in understanding, but had to know, “What did they see?”
“Jazz dropped me off at school this morning and we kissed. They saw.”
“And the assholes teased you about it?” Jacob replied with a frown, feeling a shiver of anger pass through his spine.
Seth nodded, wiping his eyes again. “They called me a fag, asked if it would feel good if one of them…” Seth looked down at the floor; he didn’t need to finish that. “And told me to watch myself in the bathroom. I was so angry that I started to cry, they made fun of that and then they insulted Jasper! I was so pissed… it took everything I had to not phase right there… but I ran out of school and into the tree line. I don’t think anyone saw.”
“They...said...what?” Jacob growled, the shiver of anger passing through his system again and he had to fight against the urge to phase himself, he could only imagine Seth's struggle. “Don't...don't believe anything those jack asses say. I'd bet you could take any of them in a fight. I mean, you roll with vampires, Seth.”
Seth choked out a laugh. “Oh I know I could. That doesn’t worry me, not really. It’s just…” He trailed off.
Jacob leaned forward to see the younger teen's face. “It's just what?”
“It’s just… what if there’s more of them? I mean, I can handle five, probably eight but you know the rez kid’s, even the one’s who aren’t shifters. They… we aren’t the most open minded bunch. And the one’s who aren’t shifters wouldn’t even begin to understand imprinting; I mean we hardly understand it. If Raven gets more of them and they corner me again? What if I can’t get away? What if I hurt someone Jake?”
“Maybe we ought to talk to Carlisle about transferring you to Forks High,” Jacob replied softly.
“Maybe, I wouldn’t be opposed to it,” Seth said quietly.
The elder nodded. “We'll talk to Carlisle when he gets home, alright? Leah too. I'm sure she'd like to know whenever she wakes up,” Jacob replied.
“Yeah I guess. I’m not going to tell Jazz.”
Jacob immediately frowned at that. “You're not? Are you sure that's a good idea?”
“At this moment? Yeah, if I told him he’d just be worried and would come back and that wouldn’t be good.”
“Point made, but you still should tell him,” Jacob pointed out, frowning. “He'll find out anyway once he gets home. Edward will hear it in someone's thoughts and probably tell Jasper.” That is if he didn't pick up the phone and call his lover first.
“I will, just after he gets back. Will you ask Edward to watch him after I tell him? Jazz might want to hurt Raven and the others.”
“I want to hurt those assholes,” Jacob pointed out, shaking his head slowly. “I'll let Edward know.”
“But you’re not going to, just like I’m not going to, just like none of us are going to.”
“I know that, but at least you can phase when you're pissed off. Unlike your sister and I,” Jacob pointed out dryly, patting his stomach.
Seth managed a grin, his tears finally subsiding. “Not much longer for Leah and only a little beyond that for you.”
“Not long at all for Leah, huh? Sometime this month, isn't it?” Jacob replied, not keeping track of Leah's pregnancy due to his own. “Still got a while on mine, though I felt the baby move last night. Edward too.”
Seth nodded. “Only a couple of weeks really, if she doesn’t go over. Hey! That’s great!” Seth sat up looking at Jacob’s stomach. “Could I feel it yet? Or is it too early?”
“You probably could, but it's not moving right now,” Jacob replied, rubbing his stomach before he looked at the teen, glad to see his tears dried up. “I'll let you know when it does though and we'll see if you could feel it.”
Seth nodded as Esme called down to them, “Boys! I made cookies!”
Jacob grinned at that. “Get dressed so we can get some cookies,” he said, nudging the younger teen. “Then we can watch a movie or something.”
The younger smiled. “Sounds great, I’ll be up in a minute. Don’t eat all the cookies!” He said as he stood, going to the dresser to pull out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
“Hey! I'm eating for two now,” Jacob pointed out with a snicker, standing before heading for the stairs.
“Still, with as many as Esme makes for us you can leave me like…ten.”
“But the baby likes Esme's cookies too! And you wouldn't want your little niece or nephew missing out on them, would you?”
“Jeez! Fine, eat all the damn cookies!” Seth almost lost his balance as he pulled on his shorts. “Just so that it’s noted, I think you’re just a pig with a major sweet tooth.”
“No I'm a pregnant growing boy with a sweet tooth,” Jacob replied, laughing. “Don't worry. I'll save some for you, provided the smell hasn't woken up your sister.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Seth muttered as he pulled his t-shirt over his head.
---
“Thanks for the snack,” Jacob said as Esme cleared away his plate. “It was delicious.”
The woman smiled broadly. “You're very welcome,” she said, getting Seth's plate as well. “Did you have enough?” She asked the younger teen.
“Plenty,” Seth confirmed with a smile. He stood and pushed his chair in. “I’m gonna go downstairs and finish my homework.”
“I'm gonna call Edward and look through my baby name book,” Jacob said, heaving a sigh as he pushed his chair out and stood.
“Found any that stand out to you yet?” Seth questioned as they left the kitchen.
“I've got a list,” Jacob replied. “There's a couple.”
“Does Edward have a separate list? Or are these one’s you’ve agreed on?”
“His list is in his head,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes dramatically before shaking his head. “Every now and then we start talking about names, but we haven't really agreed on anything except middle names. If it's a girl her middle name will be Edward's mother's name and if it's a boy his middle name will be my dad's name.”
Seth nodded. “Sounds like you at least have an idea.” They paused outside the door to the basement. “Well this is where we part company. About earlier… thanks…”
“Hey, you're welcome,” Jacob said, placing a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it. “Good luck with your homework, alright?”
Seth smiled. “No luck needed, no math tonight.”
Jacob laughed at that. “Alright then,” he replied. “I'll see you later then.”
Seth nodded and disappeared down into the basement, closing the door behind himself so the music he turned on while doing his homework wouldn’t bother the rest of the house.
Jacob continued up to the second story and into his bedroom. He closed the door and changed into his night clothes before he picked up his cell phone and flipped it open. He quickly keyed in his imprints number before holding the phone to his ear, waiting for the elder vampire to pick up.
“I won,” Edward started in greeting, his voice smug.
“What'd you win?” Jacob asked, climbing up onto their bed, laying across on his stomach.
“Jazz and I had a bet on how long it would be before you called me. I bet that it would be before the end of today. I won.”
Jacob's eyes narrowed at that. “Well excuse me for calling you. Next time I won't. I'll just let Jasper find out about Seth's bad day the hard way.”
“Jake! It’s not a bad thing, I swear. I was hoping you would call bet or no bet, I miss your voice. What’s this about Seth having a bad day? What happened?” Edward questioned.
Jacob rolled his eyes, rolling over on to his back. “Some guys at school saw him and Jasper kissing. They gave him a hard time. He ran home in the middle of the day.”
“Is he alright?” Edward asked, concerned. He glanced around, thankful that Jasper wasn’t around to listen in.
“He's fine. I talked to him and kept him occupied,” Jacob replied. “He doesn't want Jasper to find out until he's past his heat. He's afraid Jasper'll want to come back...which wouldn't be good if he's still in heat, you know?”
“It wouldn’t,” Edward agreed. “Unless we wanted another child to add to the family. But Seth is not ready for that.”
“No. He's not,” Jacob replied, not really pointing out that he hadn't really been ready for it either, but neither was Leah. “He's alright now, though, we're going to talk to Carlisle about him switching schools though.”
“That sounds like the best option. We wouldn’t want him to hurt someone or for him to get hurt.”
“Mhm,” Jacob agreed. “And the boys threatened him with some pretty nasty things. Hearing about it pissed me off.”
“You didn’t phase did you? We don’t know how that would affect the baby,” Edward stated.
“I have better control and more sense than that Edward,” Jacob replied, frowning. “I didn't phase so don't worry.”
“Just had to ask, you get almost as passionate about your pack especially Seth as you do about other things.” Jacob could hear the grin in Edward’s voice. “Do you know them? The one’s who threatened Seth?”
“I've heard of them while I was in school,” Jacob answered, deciding not to comment about how passionate he got in certain aspects of his life. “They just sound like a bunch of little assholes, people on the rez aren't exactly known for their open minds or accepting ways.”
“My mother being a perfect example of that.” Jacob looked at the door, which he hadn’t noticed opening, at Leah. “What happened?”
“Oh boy,” Jacob said, heaving a sigh. “Let me call you back, Edward?” He asked his lover, hanging up when the elder vampire said that was fine. He turned to Leah. “Hey Leah...” he said laughing sheepishly as he pushed himself into a sitting position. “What's up?”
“Nothing, I just woke up and was going down for some of the cookies I smell when I heard you talking about the pricks on the rez and their close mindedness. What happened to make you talk about it to Edward?” She questioned.
“Seth had a run in with said pricks on the rez,” Jacob answered, rubbing the back of his neck. “And he ran home in the middle of the day.”
“A run in?” Leah frowned in concern for her brother. “With who? What did they do? Is Seth alright? Do I need to get Emmett to kick some ass before this kid comes?” She questioned her hand resting on her round stomach.
“Um...no, that's not needed. That's why Seth isn't telling Jasper right now,” Jacob replied, holding up his hands. “Seth doesn't want to hurt anyone. He was just really pissed off, but he's fine now. Perfectly fine.”
Leah gave him a look that said ‘you’re sure?’ Jacob nodded and she sighed. “I should probably check on him anyway.”
Jacob nodded. “You go and do that,” he replied.
Leah nodded and turned to go downstairs, closing the door that she had opened. She went to the kitchen first and grabbed a cookie from the tray that Esme had set aside for her before going to the basement door. She knocked and called Seth’s name but from the volume of music coming through the door she doubted he heard her. Opening the door she slowly went down the stairs.
She paused at the bottom of the stairs. Seth sat at the coffee table in front of the futon, his homework spread out on the table, a cowboy hat resting on his head as it bobbed back and forth with the music. “Seth!”
Seth looked up and his eyes widened. He jumped up and went to turn the music down. “Leah, what are you doing down here? You know you shouldn’t be climbing up or down any stairs right now!”
Leah rolled her eyes. “How else am I suppose to get upstairs into my bedroom? Sprout wings and fly?” She asked, shaking her head slowly as she crossed the room and took a seat on the futon.
“Em carries you most of the time,” Seth stated. “He’s started following you around like a little lost…vampire.”
“Oh you mean like you follow Jazz around?” Leah replied, nudging him with her elbow before she leaned back, sighing softly. “Jacob told me what happened today,” she said, looking over at her brother. “You okay?”
Seth grinned a little. “Yeah, like that.” He looked down at the floor. “I wish he had kept that to himself… but I’m fine now. I was really upset earlier. Jake said I might need to transfer to Forks High.”
“I'm glad he didn't keep it to himself and you're lucky that I don't kick your ass for not telling me sooner,” Leah replied in a factly tone, wrapping an arm around her brother, pulling the teen to her side. “If people are giving you a hard time back at the rez, then transferring might be a good idea.”
“You were sleeping,” Seth stated molding himself against her side, his hand resting on her stomach, his niece or nephew kicked against his hand. “And most people aren’t, most people don’t know, it’s just Raven who saw me and Jazz kissing this morning and his group that follows him.”
“Still. He could tell more people and I can't relay on Jared and Paul to help you,” Leah said, sighing softly.
“He could,” Seth agreed. “I don’t mind to transfer; I actually think it would be nice to experience something off the rez y’know?”
Leah nodded. “Good,” she replied as though Seth actually had a choice in the matter. “We'll see about getting you transferred on Monday.”
“Will we have to get mom’s permission for that?” He knew Jasper had said something about emancipation of a minor but that was right after he had moved in and they were…celebrating quite a bit.
“We would, but if worse comes to worse we'll just do what Carlisle suggested when you first moved in. We'll emancipate you from mom,” Leah replied.
Seth sighed. “That’ll be a fun time, on both counts.”
The girl shook her head. “Don't I know it,” she replied, sighing softly.
They sat in silence for a good few minutes before the baby kicked strongly against Seth’s hand and Leah grunted with a wince. “Does it hurt?” Seth questioned.
“When it’s that strong yeah,” she answered. Seth moved so that he was resting his cheek against her stomach.
“Hey now kid, this is your uncle Seth.” He smiled when the baby gave a series of light fluttering kicks against his cheek. “That’s it, be nice to your mom, those strong kicks hurt, keep it nice and fluttering alright?” Another series of light kicks. “That’s it kid.”
Leah snickered softly, treading her hand through her brother's hair as he pressed his cheek against her stomach. “If only the baby would listen to me like that,” she said.
“I’m just a favorite uncle, what can I say?” Seth asked with a smile.
“I wouldn't let Edward, Jasper, or Jacob hear you say that. They might get jealous,” Leah replied, laughing softly.
Seth snorted. “They can be jealous all they want because I am the fave uncle!”
“Yeah, you're probably right,” Leah replied.
Seth sat up and put his finished homework in his backpack. “Is there really any point in finishing the rest of this if I’m going to transfer?”
“No, probably not,” Leah replied with a shrug before she pushed herself off of the futon. “I'm going to eat my dinner.”
“Do you need help up the stairs?” Seth questioned.
“I'm not completely helpless you know. I can take on a flight of stairs, no problem,” Leah replied, heading for the stairs, grabbing the railing.
Seth followed behind her just in case, he didn’t want his sister losing her balance and falling, especially when she couldn’t see her feet. Esme wrapped him in what would have been a warm embrace had she not been a vampire. He knew that she had been worried about him and he loved her for it. Seth hugged Esme back and kissed her cheek. “Something smells good.”
“That'd be dinner,” Esme replied with a motherly smile. “And it'll be done in a moment.”
“I’ll go get Jake,” Seth told her after he made sure Leah was seated at the table.
“Alright dear,” Esme said, disappearing back into the kitchen to check on dinner.
After Leah had left Jacob had called his lover back and the pair were currently discussing baby names. “But Caleigh goes really well with Elizabeth.”
Seth knocked on the door. “Sorry to interrupt but supper is ready,” he said.
Jacob rolled over on to his side. “Okay,” he replied to Seth. “I'll talk to you later Edward, but this discussion isn't over.”
“Oh I know it isn’t,” Edward replied. “Goodnight love.”
“Night,” Jacob replied before hanging up, looking over at Seth. “Caleigh's a good name, isn't it? Caleigh Elizabeth...that doesn't sound bad.”
“Sounds pretty, I like it.” Seth nodded his approval.
“Edward doesn't like it. Can't imagine why,” Jacob replied, shaking his head. “Unless he's giving me a hard time because that's what he does.”
Seth laughed. “Sounds like him.”
“It does,” Jacob said in agreement. “Dinner's done? I can smell it. I'm starving!!”
“Esme was just finishing up when I came to get you so I’d say it’s done by now,” Seth replied in amusement.
“Sweet!” Jacob practically sang, sliding off of the bed.
Seth shook his head as they left the room and went downstairs to the kitchen. “I was just about to call up that it was ready,” Esme told them.
“Jake and Edward were having a very deep conversation,” Seth told her as he got his plate and loaded it up.
“Oh?” Esme said, frowning, sounding concerned.
Jacob snorted softly. “He was dissing my girl's name.”
Leah laughed aloud at that. “He was dissing your girl's name?” She repeated shaking her head.
Jacob nodded. “Yeah. Like there's something wrong with Caleigh Elizabeth!”
“That’s really pretty! I might have to steal that from you…” Leah mused.
“Don't you dare!” Jacob replied, glaring at the woman.
Leah laughed. “Don’t worry Jake; I have my own names picked out. Caleigh Elizabeth is very pretty though.”
“Edward thinks it's bland,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes.
“Bland? How is Caleigh bland?” Seth questioned.
“Ask Edward,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes.
Seth pulled out his cell phone and sent Edward a text message. How is Caleigh bland? Or are you just trying to get on Jake’s nerves?
“You tell me what he says, because if he's just being difficult I'm gonna get him,” Jacob replied crossly and just minutes after he said that Seth's phone went off with Edward's return text: It's a beautiful name. Don't tell him that. Teasing him is too much fun.
Seth smiled a little before looking up at Jacob. “He really doesn’t like the name.”
Jacob's mouth dropped in shock. “That little...” and his voice drifted off into a flurry of curse words as Esme came in with dinner.
Seth snickered softly and went back to eating his supper. He checked the time and sighed when he saw that he still had three hours to kill before Jasper usually called. “You guys wanna watch a movie or something after supper?” He asked.
“I'm in,” Jacob replied, now determined to ignore Edward and his urge to speak with his lover for the rest of the night since he didn't like the name he had picked out.
Leah nodded. “Sure. I'm sure Emmett'll join us. Right now he's attempting to put the crib together.” She laughed softly. “Funniest thing ever.”
Seth and Esme laughed too, even harder when Emmett yelled, “Not funny!” from his and Leah’s bedroom.
“I picked up a few new movies today while I was out,” Esme told them resting her hand on Seth’s shoulder.
“Cool,” Jacob replied with a grin.
“What did you get Esme?” Seth questioned.
“I laid them on the living room table,” she answered.
“This is really good Esme,” Jacob said in between mouthfuls as he ate his dinner.
“Glad you enjoy it,” she said with a smile. “I also have a hot fudge cake in the oven and there’s fresh vanilla ice cream in the fridge for dessert.”
“You outdid yourself Esme,” Seth told her.
“You really did,” Jacob replied, grinning broadly at the prospect of hot fudge cake and ice cream.
“Oh never for my favorite pack of puppies,” she replied. “Just leave the dishes in the sink when you’re done.”
Jacob snickered softly at that. “Two of the puppies are expecting puppies of their own,” he added, grinning as he felt a flutter in his stomach.
“And I can’t wait!” She kissed his and Leah’s cheek’s first and then Seth’s before she left the kitchen.
“Esme is going to love being a grandmother,” Seth said with a fond smile.
“Oh yeah,” Jacob said, laughing in agreement before he beckoned Seth over. “The baby's moving again.”
“Really?” Seth asked smiling widely. He stood and came to kneel by Jacob. “Where?”
Jacob reached for Seth's hand and laid it against his abdomen. “Around there.”
Seth’s smile only widened when he felt the baby moving, he leaned in close. “Hey kid, I’m Seth, I’m gonna be one of your uncle’s.”
Jacob snickered softly at the answering flutter he felt in his stomach. “I think its saying hello,” he replied as Leah leaned over too, laying her hand against Jacob's stomach.
“Isn't it strange? Feeling the baby kick?” She asked, looking at her alpha with a grin on her face.
“Feels like I have to pass gas,” Jacob replied with a laugh, Leah joining in as well.
Seth rolled his eyes as he went back to his seat to finish his supper. He was eager to get a piece of Esme’s fudge cake and ice cream. When they finished eating he gathered all their plates and put them in the sink. “You guys go on to the living room and pick out a movie and I’ll fix the cake and ice cream,” he told them.
“You sure?” Jacob replied.
Leah nodded, looking over at her brother. “Yeah. We're pregnant. Not crippled.”
“I’m sure,” he assured them. “Don’t worry I’ll make sure you both get a big piece.”
“I don't want a lot of cake; I just want a lot of ice cream.”
“Yeah, give me the cake you don't give her.”
“Alright. Leah wants ice cream and Jake wants cake, easy enough to remember.” Seth nodded as he got the ice cream out of the fridge.
“Right on,” Jacob replied, standing from his chair before he helped Leah out of hers.
As Jacob and Leah went to pick out a movie to watch Seth got the bowls for their cake and ice cream down before he got the cake out of the oven. The warm smell of the cake made his mouth water. Cutting a large piece of cake out for Jacob he gave the smaller piece left to Leah and then cut himself a piece. Putting the cake back in the oven so it could stay warm he then added two scoops of ice cream to each side, adding two extra scoops for Leah.
Seth found the tray that Esme used to bring food to them when they were sick. He set the three bowls on it and then added the spoons. Picking up the tray he carried it to the living room. “What movie did you guys decide on?”
“Leah picked it and she won't tell me what it is,” Jacob replied, heaving a sigh. “It's probably a chick flick.” He reached for his cake and ice cream.
“Hopefully it’ll at least be funny,” Seth said handing him his bowl.
“Jacob just has horrible taste in movies. If something isn't blowing up than it sucks,” Leah shot back as Jacob stuck out his tongue at her, taking his bowl from Seth.
Seth laughed. “She speaks the truth Jake.”
“There's nothing wrong with liking action movies,” Jacob replied with a soft snort.
“There isn’t,” Seth agreed. “But a click flick now and then won’t kill you; a lot of them are really funny.”
“It might,” Jacob replied with a pout.
“You’re hopeless,” Seth said rolling his eyes. He waited until Leah had sat down to hand her the bowl of ice cream he had made for her before grabbing his own from the tray and claiming his usual spot on the floor, laying on his stomach.
---
Jasper hummed softly as he waiting for Seth to pick up his cell phone. The need to talk to the little shifter was almost overwhelming. If he hadn't been so involved in hunting he would've given into the urge to call him much sooner than he did.
“Hey Jazz! I’ve been waiting for your call. How goes the hunt for the mountain lions?” Seth questioned.
Jasper smiled broadly at the sound of his lover's voice, looking over his shoulder at his brother who was still trying to call Jacob. He chuckled softly. “It's going, that's for sure, still miss you though.”
“Jacob is ignoring Edward, you can tell him to stop trying if that’s what you’re chuckling about. I miss you too, I want nothing more than to just curl up on top of you and fall asleep while you’re reading and running your fingers through my hair.”
Jasper frowned at that. “Why his Jacob ignoring Edward? Is it because of the baby name thing?” He asked, looking over at his brother again who flipped his phone closed with a frown.
“Yeah, that’s it exactly. Jake really likes the name Caleigh Elizabeth and Edward told me not to tell Jake that he was teasing because it’s so much fun to do so, do I didn’t.”
“I think he's regretting that decision right now,” Jasper replied with a chuckle.
“Oh I’m sure,” Seth agreed with a laugh of his own.
“So tell me about your day,” Jasper said after a moment, obviously he hadn't been told about Seth's trouble at school.
“It was… okay. I had a little issue with a kid at school and came home early. I’m gonna talk to Carlisle when he gets home about me transferring to Forks High,” Seth answered.
Jasper frowned at that. Concern flooding his veins. “Is everything alright?”
“Everything’s fine, don’t worry. I talked to both Jake and Leah and they think this would be the best course of action,” Seth assured him.
“Alright. Okay,” Jasper replied, still frowning because he hated to feel so helpless. He wanted to help Seth. To comfort him, but he was unable to because of the teen's heat. “I wish I was there with you.”
“Me too love, me too. But hey! I have you on the phone right now; tell me about your day. Did Edward bug you as much as Emmett? How many mountain lions did you catch? Did any give you a good chase?”
“Edward and I spent the entire day tracking one, when we finally got it we fought over it until Jacob called that first time,” Jasper replied with a grin. “It was fun. We also ran across a bear a few hours ago.”
Seth laughed. “I guess you got the first bite since Edward was distracted then huh? Did the bear put up a good fight?”
“A decent fight. It wasn't the largest we've run across, but it wasn't small either. It knocked Edward to the ground at least, but he's been distracted all day,” Jasper replied, shaking his head slowly. “I think he misses Jacob.”
“Jake misses him too; he just stares at his cell when Edward calls. He’s so stubborn,” Seth said with a fond smile.
Jasper chuckled softly. “He'll crack by morning,” he replied confidently.
“You think?” Seth thought it over. “Yeah, you’re right. Think Edward will tell him that he actually likes the name?”
“To make up with Jacob, of course, I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already sent him a text message saying that he liked it,” Jasper replied.
“Wait just a sec,” Seth told him as he jogged up the stairs of the basement and cracked the door open.
“HA! I told you! No one can dislike the name Caleigh Elizabeth!” He heard Jacob exclaim and Seth snickered.
“I think you’re right.”
Jasper chuckled at that. “At least Edward won't be sulking all night. He get’s very put out when he had Jacob are fighting.”
“I’m sure you’d help make his night a bit better with your ability,” Seth said as he closed the door and went back downstairs to lay on the futon.
“Maybe. Maybe not,” Jasper replied with a shrug.
“Well I know you could make my night better,” Seth purred.
Jasper's lips curled into a smile. “Oh really? What'd you have in mind, babe?”
“Can you ditch Edward? I doubt he wants to listen in.”
“He's...uh...preoccupied at the moment,” Jasper replied, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck before sprinting deeper into the woods. He couldn't hear what his brother was doing, but his emotions told the story well enough. “I think he and Jacob are, um, making up as we speak.”
“No fair, they stole my idea,” Seth pouted.
“We can still do it,” Jasper replied, biting his bottom lip. “It is a good idea.”
“Oh yeah, it’s a really good idea. I think an even better idea is where I’m imagining my lips right now.”
Jasper sank to the forest floor. His body already tingling in anticipation. “Oh? And where's your mouth?” He asked, his voice heavy in his lust.
“Around your cock, sucking you slowly.”
“Yes!” Jasper growled, laying back against the earth before he rubbed the bulge in his pants before his hand slipped inside.
“How does it feel baby? My tongue running over the vein on the underside? Coming up and teasing the sweet spot under the head?”
His fingers followed the very same path before his hand left his pants to unbutton them. Then he pulled his erection free, stroking it with a delighted moan. “Ngh. Baby...it feels so good...you're mouth is always so hot!” He wondered sometimes how'd hot Seth would be on the inside. If he was buried deeply in the teenager. Touching him in ways he'd never been touched in before.
“I’m going to ignore your cock now,” Seth told him, his breath coming out in pants.
Jasper's eyes fluttered and he growled lowly as he bucked into his hand. “T-teasing over the phone?”
“Not really… I just can’t lick the sweet spot behind your balls if my mouth his full of your cock,” Seth answered. “I’m licking and my hand is holding your balls.”
Jasper nearly dropped his phone as his hand immediately sought out the spot. “God, Seth!” He moaned, arching and bucking as his finger nudged the spot.
“Enjoy that love?” Seth questioned, Jasper could hear the smile in his voice. “I’m enjoying it too.”
“Are you?” Jasper panted. “Are you touching yourself too? Tell me how. Tell me what you're thinking about love. Are you imagining me doing the same thing to you? I know how much you love my tongue on you, babe.”
“I am. I have my legs propped up on the arm of the futon so that I can touch that spot. It feels so good. I’m touching it lightly, teasingly but then applying more pressure about every three strokes. You’ve done this with your tongue before and I loved it.”
Jasper grinned at the knowledge that his little love so intimately remembered what he did to his body. He left out a soft sigh as his hand returned to his cock, stroking it, wanting to get off.
Seth whimpered, biting his lip as he unknowingly copied Jasper’s action. “Your hand feels so good Jazz, so cold, just a little faster…yeah… like that.”
A shiver passed through Jasper's body and he moaned Seth's name, his hand moving faster, all the while imaging it was his lover's hot hand wrapped around his erection. “So close, babe, so close.”
“Uh-huh…” Seth groaned. “Oh yeah baby, that’s it… right there… ah! Jazz… Jasper… I’m coming!”
“That's it, babe, cum. Let me hear you,” Jasper moaned, his hand moving even faster, his eyes clamping closed when his release overwhelmed him, his hips arching into his hand and his cum covering his hand and staining his clothes.
Jasper could hear the soft sound’s that Seth made after his release and his panting breath over the phone. “Mm… phone sex is so good with you Jazz.”
“It's good with you too, but I still miss seeing you cum. And feeling your body against mine,” Jasper replied, his body shivering and if he hadn't just spent himself, he'd be throbbing in his hand again.
Seth hummed. “I’d have to agree, that is the best part love… but this is a good substitute when that isn’t possible.”
“That it is,” Jasper agreed readily.
“Do you think using just your fingers would be too much?” Seth questioned.
Jasper frowned at that. His lust addled mind confused. “What do you mean babe?”
“What you did the first time I had my heat, you put your fingers in me…it felt good… I’d like to feel it again,” Seth told him softly.
“Oh,” Jasper replied, sitting up. “I could try...if you wanted me to.”
“I do, but I wouldn’t want to tempt you to much…” Seth answered. “Okay that’s a lie; I do want to tempt you, badly. But I don’t want you to feel guilty about it.”
“I'm going to feel guilty about it unless I'm sure you're ready for it,” Jasper replied softly, sighing. “But if you want me to try fingering you...I will, I think I'll be okay. I only lost control last time because of your heat.”
“I think I’m ready,” Seth said. “How do I know Jazz?”
“If you're asking yourself that, then you're not ready love,” Jasper replied with a fond smile, wishing it were true. If it were he'd be on his way home tonight.
Seth sighed. “I don’t like that answer. I want you, all of you, not just your tongue or fingers but everything. I know that without question.”
“Babe...” Jasper started, but couldn't finish. He just groaned softly. “Just...” He sighed heavily. “Not while you're on your heat. I don't think I could stop if I needed to...we'll...we'll talk about it, okay?”
“Okay,” Seth agreed. “Sorry if I’m pushing you Jazz… I just… I’m just pulled to you, everything about you. I love you.”
“And I love you and that's why I don't want you to do something you might regret,” Jasper replied softly.
“I’m not going to regret anything related to you.”
“If we have sex before you're ready it will be something you regret, Seth.”
Seth growled softly. He didn’t have Jasper’s unending patience, he was also still a teen and therefore he did the only thing that made sense at the moment. He hung up on Jasper.
“Seth?” Jasper repeated, frowning before he looked at the screen of his cell phone, seeing that the call had been ended.
Seth put his phone on the coffee table and went to the bathroom to clean up. Normally he would have taken a shower and then read or gone to bed but now he was pissed. This just hadn’t been his day. After washing off he went upstairs, leaving his phone on the coffee table, and told Esme he was going to go for a run.
“Everything okay?” She asked.
“Just fine,” Seth answered as he left the house, removing his clothes and phasing.
Esme frowned as she watched him through the window, wondering what had upset the teen again.
Seth had left the door to the basement slightly ajar in his haste to go for a run so she heard his phone buzzing against the wood of the coffee table down there. She knew she shouldn’t but after the afternoon he had had she was worried about Seth so she went down into the basement and retrieved the phone. She raised an eyebrow at the smell that tickled her nose as she picked up the phone. Three missed calls from Jasper and two text messages. She sighed, first Jacob was ignoring Edward and now it seemed Seth was doing the same to Jasper.
She didn't know what had gotten into her boys, but she hoped it'd be out of them soon. It hurt her to see her children and her children's mates (who were like her own children) upset, fighting, and ignoring each other.
The phone vibrated in her hand as Jasper called again. Esme debated answering it, she knew it wasn’t her place but Jasper had a right to know why Seth wasn’t answering his calls. Flipping the phone open she brought it to her ear, “Seth’s phone.”
Jasper started when it wasn't Seth answering his phone. “E-esme...? Where's Seth?”
“I believe he went out for a run, at least he went outside and phased,” she answered.
“Damnit!” Jasper growled. “Would you tell him to call me when he gets back? Tell him I'm sorry, but we need to talk.”
Esme blinked. “Of course I will Jasper. Do you need someone to talk to?”
He did, but he wasn't sure Esme wanted to hear about his and Seth's sex life. “It's just...” Jasper started, chewing his bottom lip.
“I’m listening Jasper, you can tell me anything,” Esme told him.
“Seth thinks he's ready to have sex,” Jasper replied softly. “But I don't think he is. He's just so young...”
Esme hummed thoughtfully. “Teens are having sex earlier and earlier these days… I think Seth is too young as well but then I am from an older time. Is there any reason that you don’t think he’s ready other than age?”
“I don't want him to regret it, Esme,” Jasper replied softly.
“A first time is primarily based on emotion, whether it be anger, love or lust or any other number of emotions. I can’t see you hurting Seth in any way. Are you sure this is just about Seth? Maybe it is you who isn’t ready to take this next step.”
Jasper opened his mouth to counter, but he stopped short. “I...never thought about it like that.”
Esme smiled softly. “Maybe you should before you talk to Seth again,” she suggested.
“I will,” Jasper replied. “Thanks Esme.”
“You’re welcome Jasper. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Bye Esme.”

starry_nights88 & avari_maethorPairings: Jasper/Seth, Edward/Jacob & Emmett/Leah.
Three days later Seth was feeling better, he was still a little achy and slept more than usual but he didn’t sleep all day like he had the first couple of days of having the flu. He was glad that he had gotten sick on a Tuesday so that meant it was now the weekend and he wouldn’t have to worry about going back to school until Monday. Embry had brought all the homework he was missing by; Seth had sarcastically thanked him for that.
“You can't be mad at Embry,” Jasper said, trying not to snicker at his little love. “He was only trying to help. At least you won't be behind when you go back to school.”
“Uh-huh, in the meantime I get to do homework instead of something more interesting… like cuddling with you,” Seth replied as he worked a math problem.
“Cuddling?” Jasper replied with a smirk. “Finish your math and we'll cuddle...if that's all you intend to do.”
Seth chuckled. “Well it has been three days… but I have no idea of what you’re implying.”
“Sure you don't.”
“I don’t. I am completely, totally, 100% innocent.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I am!” Seth insisted. “You’re the one doing the tempting.” Seth stood, ignoring his homework for the moment as he straddled Jasper’s lap, cupping his face in his hands. “My greatest temptation.” Seth kissed Jasper’s lips.
Jasper eagerly returned the kiss, his arms wrapping around his lover's waist as he parted Seth's lips with his tongue.
Seth groaned into the kiss, more so from how they were now pressed together than from the kiss itself. He caught Jasper’s tongue with his teeth, sucking on it lightly. Burying his fingers in Jasper’s hair he tugged on the strands.
Jasper broke the kiss moment later, feeling his lover's arousal brush over him. “Homework first,” he said.
“Aw Jazz… I’ve got all weekend to finish that…” Seth kissed a trail along Jasper’s jaw.
Jasper eyes were half lidded and he tried to ignore what his younger lover was doing to him, but it was a rather impossible thing to do. “That's true...” he replied before chewing on his lower lip, arching his head to the side to give the shifter better access.
Seth grinned against Jasper’s skin as he nibbled on his lover’s neck. “It is true so you should just give in.” Seth stroked the sweet spot on Jasper’s chest through his shirt. His free hand went to the bottom of Jasper’s shirt and under it, his warm fingers running over his cold skin.
“You'd love that, wouldn't you?” Jasper panted softly, his hands going to his lover's hips.
“You’d love it more,” Seth murmured into Jasper’s ear, his tongue running along the shell of the appendage.
Jasper groaned softly, arching into the hips above his own. “Prove it,” he replied hotly.
Seth chuckled, his grin widening at getting his way. “Of course darling, I’ll make it worth your while,” he promised as he stood. Jasper gave him a confused look upon his standing.
“How are you going to make it worth my while if you're over there?” Jasper asked, sitting back up and frowning up at the younger boy.
“You’ll see,” Seth called over his shoulder as he disappeared into the closet. Jasper was tempted to follow him to try and figure out what his younger lover was planning. But Seth appeared a moment later and Jasper’s jaw dropped. “I found this the last time you were gone…” Seth ran his fingers along the brim of the cowboy hat as he strode across the floor with confidence only a wolf could have.
Jasper's lips relaxed into a smirk as he watched his younger lover. “And what do you plan on doing with that, love?”
“Well… I’m hoping you’ll like your striptease,” Seth replied. “I put on boxers just for this.”
Jasper chuckled at that. The sound was husky and clearly showing his arousal as he watched his little love.
Seth walked over to the stereo; picked up a CD he had made and placed it in. He pressed play once the CD had been read and waited a couple of seconds for the music to start. He couldn’t tell Jasper that he had planned this… well not at this moment exactly, that part had just worked out. But he had planned to perform a strip tease for Jasper, he had practiced… Edward had laughed but thankfully hadn’t told Jacob.
He danced, periodically slowly removing a piece of clothing. When he was down to just his boxers and cowboy hat he stepped up onto the coffee table and grinned down at Jasper just as the song “Cowboy” started to play.
Jasper was proud of his self control. He hadn't jumped up from his seat and tackled his lover to the ground and done naughty things to him. Yet. So far he was resisting the urge, but as he watched his lover swing his hips this way and that he wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to hold on.
Seth stepped onto the futon from the coffee table, a foot on either side of Jasper’s legs. Seth dipped his body down, just barely grazing his lips before he stood back up and danced, meaning swaying his hips and rolling his body in front of Jasper. He slid his thumbs under the hem of his boxers and started to work them down in time with the sways of his body.
Jasper's fists were clenched together and he bottom lip sucked into his mouth as he watched the teenager with lust darkened eyes. His cock throbbing in his pants and in that moment he wanted nothing more than to bury himself in the warmth of his lover's body. “Seth,” he growled lowly.
“Yes lover?” Seth purred, the boxer’s just barely covering his cock now.
Jasper pushed himself up straighter, now he was inches from Seth's barely covered cock. He gazed up at the teenager, panting softly as his hands grasped Seth's bare hips. “Finish pulling them down,” he said softly, his lips curling into a smirk.
A shiver ran through Seth at the look Jasper gave him. Obeying the command he slipped his boxers the rest of the way down his legs, lifting one foot and then the other before kicking them off the futon. He straightened up, his cock already hard stood as an offering between him and Jasper. “Did you like my dance?”
“Of course I did,” Jasper replied hotly, leaning forward to swipe his tongue across the head of his lover's erection. “More than you know.”
Seth groaned softly. “I’m glad,” he said with a smile, one hand going to Jasper’s hair. “I think you need to do more of that.”
“Do you?” Jasper practically purred, watching Seth with hungry eyes as his hand wrapped around the base of his erection, his other cupping and massaging the teen's balls before pressing against the spot just behind them.
“Ah!” Seth cried out thrusting his hips and cock closer to Jasper’s face. He bit his lip and closed his eyes in pure bliss.
Jasper caught the head of Seth's penis and sucked at it, his finger rubbing the sweet spot.
Seth whined and whimpered, the double stimulation of Jasper’s tongue grazing the sweet spot just under the head of his cock and his finger rubbing the spot behind his balls… “Oh God…”
Jasper pulled away from his lover's cock, his hand stroking it as he looked up at the teenager. “Is this what you had in mind, babe?”
“Better,” Seth panted.
Jasper smirked at that before leaning forward again, pressing a kiss to the head of his lover's cock, and then he swirled his tongue in the slit on the head.
“Mm!” Seth bucked his hips. “Jazz…please… I need you.”
Jasper's hands moved to clutch the teenager's backside as he deep throated his little lover, humming as he bobbed his head.
Seth would have fallen at that moment if not for Jasper’s hands supporting him. He bent over just slightly, his hands resting on Jasper’s shoulders, hands tightening their hold with each spike as his orgasm approached. “That’s it Jazz… more… just like that.”
Jasper kept going. Faster and faster. Sucking harder and harder. Trying to get his little lover to cum.
“AH!” Seth exclaimed as he came in Jasper’s mouth, he bucked his hips a couple of times as he rode out his orgasm. He panted, his hands running through and then gripping Jasper’s hair.
He swallowed all he was given and then pulled away. Jasper smirked up at his lover. “How was that?” He asked.
“You’re good Jazz… so very good.”
With a grin Jasper leaned back against the futon. “You're not to bad yourself,” he replied.
“Oh?” Seth grinned as he went to his knees, so that he was straddling Jasper’s lap again, he could feel Jasper’s arousal pressing against him. Seth started rocking his hips against Jasper’s. “Is this good?”
Jasper let out a sigh of pleasure, his hands grasping his lover's hips again as he bucked into him. “Mhm,” he hummed.
“I think you need to lose your pants love.”
Jasper looked down at his waist and had to nod in agreement. “You want to help me with that?”
“I can,” Seth replied getting to his feet. He offered Jasper a hand. “It’ll be easier if you stand too.”
Jasper took the offered hand and allowed the teen to help him to his feet.
Seth’s hands went to Jasper’s belt, undoing it and slowly sliding it out of the loops before his fingers went to the button and zipper. Jasper growled softly at how slowly Seth was proceeding. Seth grinned up at him, leaning in to kiss Jasper’s lips briefly. “Patience love.”
“Patience is a virtue I don't have right now,” Jasper replied hotly, gazing down at his little love.
Seth hummed in amusement. “You often don’t.”
“Then don't make me wait, lover,” Jasper replied, cupping the teenager's cheek with his hand.
“But it’s so much fun,” Seth said as he ran his fingers under Jasper’s shirt, one brushing the sweet spot next to Jasper’s belly button. Seth smirked at the gasp that left Jasper’s lips. “So much fun.”
“I didn't tease you,” Jasper pointed out.
“So?” Seth grinned. “Just because you didn’t tease me doesn’t mean that I can’t tease you.”
The vampire chuckled softly before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his lover's lips. “I'll remember that next time.”
“Not nice Jazz,” Seth pouted. His hands went to Jasper’s pants, pushing them down. “Have I ever mentioned how happy it makes me that you don’t wear underwear?”
Jasper smirked. “Plenty of times,” he replied, chuckling softly.
“Well it makes me really really happy.” Seth wrapped his arms around Jasper’s neck after one hand placed the cowboy hat on his lover. “How would you like it?”
Jasper tipped the hat up with a flick of his fingers before he leaned down to press their lips together. “However you want to give it to me babe.”
“Mm… God you are so sexy!” Seth groaned. “I think you should lay down, floor or futon, it doesn’t matter.”
Jasper smirked, stealing another kiss before he laid back down on the futon, laying in a way to where he didn't have to take off his hat. He then beckoned his lover to come with a crook of his finger.
How could Seth say no? He lay down on the futon, his face stopping just short of Jasper’s cock. Seth wrapped a hand around the hard flesh, stroking as he kissed and nipped at the inside of Jasper’s thigh.
Jasper bit down on his bottom lip and let out a sigh of pleasure. His hand tangling in his lover's hair.
Seth switched to the other thigh, sparing just a second to run his tongue over the head of Jasper’s cock, licking off the pre-cum that had gathered. He gave the other thigh the same amount of attention before returning to his prize that rested in the middle. Seth started at the base of Jasper’s cock, kissing and licking until he reached the head.
“That's it, baby...” Jasper moaned softly, his fingers gently clutching in the teenager's hair.
Swirling his tongue around the slit Seth licked off all the new pre-cum that had gathered before taking just the head into his mouth. His tongue kept teasing the slit while his teeth barely brushed that spot just under the head.
Jasper groaned and arched his hips into his lover's mouth. “God, Seth! That feels so good!”
Seth grinned as his tongue ran against that spot and then he took Jasper completely into his mouth, burying his lover’s cock in the warm heat that was his mouth. Jasper’s fingers tightened on his hair and Seth sucked hard, working his mouth and tongue over the hardened flesh at a rough and fast pace.
“Damnit Seth!” Jasper growled, clenching his teeth together as his little love worked him over.
Seth paused, his lips around just the head of Jasper’s penis. He blinked owlishly at his lover, wondering if he had done something wrong at the tone of Jasper’s voice.
Jasper looked down at the shifter. “N-no! Don't stop!” His voice was pleading, bordering on begging. “Please don't stop!”
Seth made a sound, something like a snort, before he took Jasper completely into his mouth again. He resumed his pace, the fast and rough, as he nudged Jasper’s legs further apart. When Jasper moved his leg Seth slipped a hand under and behind his balls to tease the sweet spot there. He hummed around Jasper’s erection trying to bring his lover over the edge.
Jasper's hands clenched the cushion of his futon, his hips arching sharply before his orgasm ripped through his body. “Seth!” He cried out.
Seth swallowed everything his lover gave him, he loved Jasper’s taste. After licking Jasper clean he crawled up and lay on top of his lover. “Love you,” he whispered kissing Jasper’s lips.
The vampire sighed contently against the younger's mouth, tangling his hand in the younger's hair as he wrapped an arm around his waist.
Seth grinned against Jasper’s lips. “I may have to dance just for you more often.”
The vampire chuckled softly at that. “You may,” he agreed, chastely pressing his lips against Seth's again.
“We could get a collapsible pole for down here… I saw one in Paul’s mind before, never understood the reason behind them until now,” Seth mused.
Jasper laughed louder at that. “Is that a fact?” He asked, snickering.
Seth nodded. “To young to go into a strip joint you know, but Sam and Paul have been before.”
Jasper hummed softly in understanding. “I've been to a few with Emmett. Never really lasted long because Rosalie would come tearing in there to drag Emmett out. We've tried to take Edward before...didn't really work.”
Seth snickered. “Rosalie is the jealous type huh? Why didn’t it work with Edward? Was this before Jake imprinted?”
“Yeah. Long before Jacob imprinted on him. Long before he met Bella even,” Jasper replied with a soft sigh. “Edward's always been modest. Sometimes far too modest for his own good. Jacob changed that about him.”
“Oh yeah, he was a virgin before Jake huh? At least that’s what Alice said.” Seth started to traced light patterns over Jasper’s collar bone.
“He was,” Jasper agreed. “He was determined to wait until after he had married Bella to and even then he was hesitant about sleeping with her because of her being human. We, uh, tend to lose control during sex.”
Seth looked up at him. “Do you? Is that why you’re so careful with me? Other than age of course.”
“Apparently I have remarkable self control,” Jasper replied with a smirk.
“I’ll say,” Seth muttered thinking about all the times he had tried to get Jasper to go further, not counting the times they were interrupted. His thoughts were broken by a yawn and he nuzzled Jasper’s neck. “I think I’m gonna lay down for a bit and then I’ll work on that homework.”
Jasper stroked along Seth's bare back. “I'll wake you in a few hours?” He replied.
Seth purred softly before he kissed Jasper again and got up. Pulling his sleep pants back on he started toward the bed but stopped to look back at Jasper. “You need to wear that hat more often,” he said.
Jasper pushed himself in a sitting position, grinning as he watched his lover cross the room and climb into bed. “As long as you promise it'll have the same result,” he replied with a playful smirk.
“Maybe,” Seth replied teasingly knowing his lover hated it.
“Maybe?” Jasper replied with a frown. “I don't like the sound of that.”
“I know,” Seth said with a laugh. “You’ll just have to see.”
“Then, I suppose, you'll have to wait and see if I wear the hat again,” Jasper replied with a smirk.
“Oh you will wear it again,” Seth told him.
“Oh? I will? What makes you so sure, babe?”
“Because you can’t deny something I want.”
“I can. If it's to tease you,” Jasper replied in a sing song voice.
“Only for so long, you always end up giving up in the end.” Seth stretched out, giving Jasper a sexy look. “If only because you can only deny yourself for so long.”
Jasper gazed at his little love for a long moment, but didn't deny his statement. He knew it was true as well as Seth did. He smirked at little. “That might be true, but that still doesn't mean I can't tease you.”
“And very well,” Seth agreed. “But we’ll just have to see, and maybe I need a hat of my own.”
Jasper chuckled softly. “Maybe so. It did suit you.”
“Did it?” Seth questioned as his eyes drooped sleepily. He turned on his side, arms wrapping around the pillow Jasper always leaned against when he sat with him.
“It did, but don't worry about that right now,” Jasper replied as he pushed himself off of his futon and made his way over to the bed. He crawled in next to his lover and wrapped an arm around his waist; he pressed a kiss to his neck. “Go to sleep, babe.”
Seth hummed happily, his eyes closing. Jasper reached down and brought the sheet up over him. Within a minute Seth’s breathing was even and he was sleeping.
A week and a half later the moon started to turn full. With it brought Seth’s heat and the time for Jasper to take his hunting trip.
“Is Edward going with you?” Seth asked as he put his homework into his backpack. He knew Emmett wasn’t going hunting with Leah getting so close to the end of her pregnancy. He hated the thought of Jasper going alone.
“Mhm,” Jasper replied, his body already thrumming with desire for his lover as his scent gradually changed. “We're going to North Carolina. They're having a mountain lion problem in the area and you know how much Edward loves mountain lions.”
“Sounds like fun,” Seth said with a grin. He glanced at the clock on the wall, “We should be going before I’m late.”
“Or before I'm tempted to make you late,” Jasper replied with a sheepish smirk as he grabbed his car keys.
“Or that,” Seth agreed with a laugh. Slinging his backpack over his shoulder they headed upstairs and out to Jasper’s mustang. Jasper and Edward were leaving after Jasper got back from taking him to school. Seth sighed, a whole week without his lover…man it sucked. Jasper took Seth’s hand and raised it to his lips. “I know, I know… I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing you when you’re gone.”
Jasper gave his hand a comforting squeeze. “I'll call you everyday. I promise.”
Seth smiled, even if there was a sad twinge to it. “It won’t be the same as you being here but it’ll help.” Seth leaned up and kissed his cheek before climbing into the car and Jasper closed the door.
Jasper walked around and climbed into the driver’s seat. After starting the car he took Seth’s hand again, stroking the warm skin between his shifter’s thumb and forefinger. As he drove over the treaty line Seth looked at him.
“I wish I could go with you.”
Jasper didn't reply to that right away. While he wished he didn't have to leave his lover for this week, he knew he couldn't stay around. And there was only one way to fix that and it was a step neither was ready to take just yet. “I know, baby.”
“Maybe this summer… when I’m out of school I can come?” Seth questioned. Jasper started to object but Seth kept talking. “We could go a week that’s not the full moon even.”
“That I can do,” Jasper replied with a sigh of relief.
Seth smiled as Jasper pulled up in front of his school. Most kids had already gone in but there were still a few lingering outside. “I’ll miss you.”
“I know. I'll miss you too. Terribly,” Jasper replied, putting the car into park before he looked at his little love.
Seth leaned across the console and gave Jasper a lingering kiss. “I’ll see you on Wednesday.” Jasper nodded and kissed Seth again before letting go of his hand. He watched the younger disappear into the school before driving away. Somehow Jasper missed the glare Seth was given as he entered the school from another boy.
Esme looked up from the magazine she was reading as Seth entered the house. He moved quickly and if not for her enhanced sight she probably would have missed his nudeness, but she didn’t and it worried her. Why was Seth nude? Why was he home at noon? It was Friday; he should still be at school. Standing, her magazine forgotten, she went to the basement door that led to Seth and Jasper’s room.
The door was closed but she could hear him crying inside. Knocking she asked, “Seth honey? Are you okay?”
Seth sniffed loudly. “Not really Esme.”
Esme frowned, her motherly instincts wanting nothing more than to comfort him and know what was bothering him. “May I come in?”
“I’d rather you not… I just… I just want Jasper.”
Esme closed her eyes sadly knowing that couldn’t be. “Okay honey, but if you need anything just call.”
Seth sniffed again. “Thanks Esme.”
Esme stood at the door for a moment. Her nonbeating heart aching for the boy just beyond the door. She worried her lower lip and then turned away, heading for the stairs that led to the second story and then his sister's bedroom. If Seth wouldn't tell her what was the matter, perhaps he'd tell Leah. With that hope on her mind she gently knocked at the door, moments later it was opened by her son. “Hey, Esme, what's up?” Emmett asked, his voice so soft it was nearly a whisper as he leaned against the door.
“Can I speak to Leah?” She asked, a note of worry in her voice as Emmett's lips curled into a frown.
“I'm sorry, but she's sleeping, I don't want to wake her.”
Esme nodded. “Of course. She needs her rest,” she said in understanding, thinking that, perhaps, Jacob was the next best choice.
Emmett nodded. “Sorry.” He closed the door back and Esme went to Edward and Jacob’s room, at least she didn’t have to worry about walking in on anything between the two with Edward gone.
Jacob was thumbing through a book of baby names when Esme walked in, he marked his place, his thumb pressed against the girl's name 'Caleigh' before he looked up at the woman. “Hey, Esme!” He greeted brightly with a smile.
Esme couldn’t help herself; she returned Jacob’s smile before hers faded into a frown. “Seth is home.”
Jacob blinked and glanced over at the alarm clock on his bedside table, a look of confusion on his face. “Is everything alright?” He asked, noticing it was barely past one o'clock in the afternoon. Seth, by all rights, should still be in school with at least one more period before the end of the day. “Is he sick again? The flu?”
Esme shook her head. “He didn’t say anything when he came in but… he was nude and I’m fairly certain he was crying.”
Jacob closed the book and set it aside on the bed before he swung his feet of the edge. “He wouldn't talk to you?” He replied, already walking to the door. He needed to know what was the matter with his beta.
“No, he only wants Jasper,” Esme answered. “I was hoping maybe, since Jasper can’t be here, he would talk to you.”
Jacob nodded as he passed the woman in his doorway, heading for the stairs. “I'll see what I can do, alright?” He said, glancing over his shoulder at the woman.
“Thanks Jacob, I’ll make you both a snack,” she said following him down the stairs.
“That'll be great, Esme!” Jacob replied, heading for the basement.
Esme nodded and headed for the kitchen confident that Jacob would find out what had upset Seth.
Jacob knocked on the door in a show of respect, waiting for the teen to answer his knock. “Seth?” He called. “Hey, what's up, man?”
Seth stared at the stairs and ultimately the door for a moment, he didn’t want to answer but he hadn’t locked the door and knew Jacob would come in anyway if he didn’t answer. Sighing he called, “C’mon in Jake.”
Jacob twisted the door knob and pushed the door open before he walked down the stairs. His eyes immediately landed on his beta, sitting on the futon, still naked and still crying. He heaved a soft sigh and walked over to the teen. “So you can tell me what's wrong or I can invoke my godly alpha rights on you and make you tell me.”
Seth sniffed and rubbed at the tears in his eyes. It didn’t work well as more gathered and fell. “I lost it. I phased… not in school but I had to run so no one would see. They cornered me after lunch, after the teachers had gone back to class.”
Jacob frowned as he wrapped on arm around the teen's shoulders. “Who cornered you? The other students? But I thought you were popular? I thought they liked you?”
“Raven and his group. I never had a problem with them before, never been best friends you know… but they never bothered me. I am popular and liked but they… they saw something they didn’t like.”
Jacob nodded in understanding, but had to know, “What did they see?”
“Jazz dropped me off at school this morning and we kissed. They saw.”
“And the assholes teased you about it?” Jacob replied with a frown, feeling a shiver of anger pass through his spine.
Seth nodded, wiping his eyes again. “They called me a fag, asked if it would feel good if one of them…” Seth looked down at the floor; he didn’t need to finish that. “And told me to watch myself in the bathroom. I was so angry that I started to cry, they made fun of that and then they insulted Jasper! I was so pissed… it took everything I had to not phase right there… but I ran out of school and into the tree line. I don’t think anyone saw.”
“They...said...what?” Jacob growled, the shiver of anger passing through his system again and he had to fight against the urge to phase himself, he could only imagine Seth's struggle. “Don't...don't believe anything those jack asses say. I'd bet you could take any of them in a fight. I mean, you roll with vampires, Seth.”
Seth choked out a laugh. “Oh I know I could. That doesn’t worry me, not really. It’s just…” He trailed off.
Jacob leaned forward to see the younger teen's face. “It's just what?”
“It’s just… what if there’s more of them? I mean, I can handle five, probably eight but you know the rez kid’s, even the one’s who aren’t shifters. They… we aren’t the most open minded bunch. And the one’s who aren’t shifters wouldn’t even begin to understand imprinting; I mean we hardly understand it. If Raven gets more of them and they corner me again? What if I can’t get away? What if I hurt someone Jake?”
“Maybe we ought to talk to Carlisle about transferring you to Forks High,” Jacob replied softly.
“Maybe, I wouldn’t be opposed to it,” Seth said quietly.
The elder nodded. “We'll talk to Carlisle when he gets home, alright? Leah too. I'm sure she'd like to know whenever she wakes up,” Jacob replied.
“Yeah I guess. I’m not going to tell Jazz.”
Jacob immediately frowned at that. “You're not? Are you sure that's a good idea?”
“At this moment? Yeah, if I told him he’d just be worried and would come back and that wouldn’t be good.”
“Point made, but you still should tell him,” Jacob pointed out, frowning. “He'll find out anyway once he gets home. Edward will hear it in someone's thoughts and probably tell Jasper.” That is if he didn't pick up the phone and call his lover first.
“I will, just after he gets back. Will you ask Edward to watch him after I tell him? Jazz might want to hurt Raven and the others.”
“I want to hurt those assholes,” Jacob pointed out, shaking his head slowly. “I'll let Edward know.”
“But you’re not going to, just like I’m not going to, just like none of us are going to.”
“I know that, but at least you can phase when you're pissed off. Unlike your sister and I,” Jacob pointed out dryly, patting his stomach.
Seth managed a grin, his tears finally subsiding. “Not much longer for Leah and only a little beyond that for you.”
“Not long at all for Leah, huh? Sometime this month, isn't it?” Jacob replied, not keeping track of Leah's pregnancy due to his own. “Still got a while on mine, though I felt the baby move last night. Edward too.”
Seth nodded. “Only a couple of weeks really, if she doesn’t go over. Hey! That’s great!” Seth sat up looking at Jacob’s stomach. “Could I feel it yet? Or is it too early?”
“You probably could, but it's not moving right now,” Jacob replied, rubbing his stomach before he looked at the teen, glad to see his tears dried up. “I'll let you know when it does though and we'll see if you could feel it.”
Seth nodded as Esme called down to them, “Boys! I made cookies!”
Jacob grinned at that. “Get dressed so we can get some cookies,” he said, nudging the younger teen. “Then we can watch a movie or something.”
The younger smiled. “Sounds great, I’ll be up in a minute. Don’t eat all the cookies!” He said as he stood, going to the dresser to pull out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
“Hey! I'm eating for two now,” Jacob pointed out with a snicker, standing before heading for the stairs.
“Still, with as many as Esme makes for us you can leave me like…ten.”
“But the baby likes Esme's cookies too! And you wouldn't want your little niece or nephew missing out on them, would you?”
“Jeez! Fine, eat all the damn cookies!” Seth almost lost his balance as he pulled on his shorts. “Just so that it’s noted, I think you’re just a pig with a major sweet tooth.”
“No I'm a pregnant growing boy with a sweet tooth,” Jacob replied, laughing. “Don't worry. I'll save some for you, provided the smell hasn't woken up your sister.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Seth muttered as he pulled his t-shirt over his head.
“Thanks for the snack,” Jacob said as Esme cleared away his plate. “It was delicious.”
The woman smiled broadly. “You're very welcome,” she said, getting Seth's plate as well. “Did you have enough?” She asked the younger teen.
“Plenty,” Seth confirmed with a smile. He stood and pushed his chair in. “I’m gonna go downstairs and finish my homework.”
“I'm gonna call Edward and look through my baby name book,” Jacob said, heaving a sigh as he pushed his chair out and stood.
“Found any that stand out to you yet?” Seth questioned as they left the kitchen.
“I've got a list,” Jacob replied. “There's a couple.”
“Does Edward have a separate list? Or are these one’s you’ve agreed on?”
“His list is in his head,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes dramatically before shaking his head. “Every now and then we start talking about names, but we haven't really agreed on anything except middle names. If it's a girl her middle name will be Edward's mother's name and if it's a boy his middle name will be my dad's name.”
Seth nodded. “Sounds like you at least have an idea.” They paused outside the door to the basement. “Well this is where we part company. About earlier… thanks…”
“Hey, you're welcome,” Jacob said, placing a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it. “Good luck with your homework, alright?”
Seth smiled. “No luck needed, no math tonight.”
Jacob laughed at that. “Alright then,” he replied. “I'll see you later then.”
Seth nodded and disappeared down into the basement, closing the door behind himself so the music he turned on while doing his homework wouldn’t bother the rest of the house.
Jacob continued up to the second story and into his bedroom. He closed the door and changed into his night clothes before he picked up his cell phone and flipped it open. He quickly keyed in his imprints number before holding the phone to his ear, waiting for the elder vampire to pick up.
“I won,” Edward started in greeting, his voice smug.
“What'd you win?” Jacob asked, climbing up onto their bed, laying across on his stomach.
“Jazz and I had a bet on how long it would be before you called me. I bet that it would be before the end of today. I won.”
Jacob's eyes narrowed at that. “Well excuse me for calling you. Next time I won't. I'll just let Jasper find out about Seth's bad day the hard way.”
“Jake! It’s not a bad thing, I swear. I was hoping you would call bet or no bet, I miss your voice. What’s this about Seth having a bad day? What happened?” Edward questioned.
Jacob rolled his eyes, rolling over on to his back. “Some guys at school saw him and Jasper kissing. They gave him a hard time. He ran home in the middle of the day.”
“Is he alright?” Edward asked, concerned. He glanced around, thankful that Jasper wasn’t around to listen in.
“He's fine. I talked to him and kept him occupied,” Jacob replied. “He doesn't want Jasper to find out until he's past his heat. He's afraid Jasper'll want to come back...which wouldn't be good if he's still in heat, you know?”
“It wouldn’t,” Edward agreed. “Unless we wanted another child to add to the family. But Seth is not ready for that.”
“No. He's not,” Jacob replied, not really pointing out that he hadn't really been ready for it either, but neither was Leah. “He's alright now, though, we're going to talk to Carlisle about him switching schools though.”
“That sounds like the best option. We wouldn’t want him to hurt someone or for him to get hurt.”
“Mhm,” Jacob agreed. “And the boys threatened him with some pretty nasty things. Hearing about it pissed me off.”
“You didn’t phase did you? We don’t know how that would affect the baby,” Edward stated.
“I have better control and more sense than that Edward,” Jacob replied, frowning. “I didn't phase so don't worry.”
“Just had to ask, you get almost as passionate about your pack especially Seth as you do about other things.” Jacob could hear the grin in Edward’s voice. “Do you know them? The one’s who threatened Seth?”
“I've heard of them while I was in school,” Jacob answered, deciding not to comment about how passionate he got in certain aspects of his life. “They just sound like a bunch of little assholes, people on the rez aren't exactly known for their open minds or accepting ways.”
“My mother being a perfect example of that.” Jacob looked at the door, which he hadn’t noticed opening, at Leah. “What happened?”
“Oh boy,” Jacob said, heaving a sigh. “Let me call you back, Edward?” He asked his lover, hanging up when the elder vampire said that was fine. He turned to Leah. “Hey Leah...” he said laughing sheepishly as he pushed himself into a sitting position. “What's up?”
“Nothing, I just woke up and was going down for some of the cookies I smell when I heard you talking about the pricks on the rez and their close mindedness. What happened to make you talk about it to Edward?” She questioned.
“Seth had a run in with said pricks on the rez,” Jacob answered, rubbing the back of his neck. “And he ran home in the middle of the day.”
“A run in?” Leah frowned in concern for her brother. “With who? What did they do? Is Seth alright? Do I need to get Emmett to kick some ass before this kid comes?” She questioned her hand resting on her round stomach.
“Um...no, that's not needed. That's why Seth isn't telling Jasper right now,” Jacob replied, holding up his hands. “Seth doesn't want to hurt anyone. He was just really pissed off, but he's fine now. Perfectly fine.”
Leah gave him a look that said ‘you’re sure?’ Jacob nodded and she sighed. “I should probably check on him anyway.”
Jacob nodded. “You go and do that,” he replied.
Leah nodded and turned to go downstairs, closing the door that she had opened. She went to the kitchen first and grabbed a cookie from the tray that Esme had set aside for her before going to the basement door. She knocked and called Seth’s name but from the volume of music coming through the door she doubted he heard her. Opening the door she slowly went down the stairs.
She paused at the bottom of the stairs. Seth sat at the coffee table in front of the futon, his homework spread out on the table, a cowboy hat resting on his head as it bobbed back and forth with the music. “Seth!”
Seth looked up and his eyes widened. He jumped up and went to turn the music down. “Leah, what are you doing down here? You know you shouldn’t be climbing up or down any stairs right now!”
Leah rolled her eyes. “How else am I suppose to get upstairs into my bedroom? Sprout wings and fly?” She asked, shaking her head slowly as she crossed the room and took a seat on the futon.
“Em carries you most of the time,” Seth stated. “He’s started following you around like a little lost…vampire.”
“Oh you mean like you follow Jazz around?” Leah replied, nudging him with her elbow before she leaned back, sighing softly. “Jacob told me what happened today,” she said, looking over at her brother. “You okay?”
Seth grinned a little. “Yeah, like that.” He looked down at the floor. “I wish he had kept that to himself… but I’m fine now. I was really upset earlier. Jake said I might need to transfer to Forks High.”
“I'm glad he didn't keep it to himself and you're lucky that I don't kick your ass for not telling me sooner,” Leah replied in a factly tone, wrapping an arm around her brother, pulling the teen to her side. “If people are giving you a hard time back at the rez, then transferring might be a good idea.”
“You were sleeping,” Seth stated molding himself against her side, his hand resting on her stomach, his niece or nephew kicked against his hand. “And most people aren’t, most people don’t know, it’s just Raven who saw me and Jazz kissing this morning and his group that follows him.”
“Still. He could tell more people and I can't relay on Jared and Paul to help you,” Leah said, sighing softly.
“He could,” Seth agreed. “I don’t mind to transfer; I actually think it would be nice to experience something off the rez y’know?”
Leah nodded. “Good,” she replied as though Seth actually had a choice in the matter. “We'll see about getting you transferred on Monday.”
“Will we have to get mom’s permission for that?” He knew Jasper had said something about emancipation of a minor but that was right after he had moved in and they were…celebrating quite a bit.
“We would, but if worse comes to worse we'll just do what Carlisle suggested when you first moved in. We'll emancipate you from mom,” Leah replied.
Seth sighed. “That’ll be a fun time, on both counts.”
The girl shook her head. “Don't I know it,” she replied, sighing softly.
They sat in silence for a good few minutes before the baby kicked strongly against Seth’s hand and Leah grunted with a wince. “Does it hurt?” Seth questioned.
“When it’s that strong yeah,” she answered. Seth moved so that he was resting his cheek against her stomach.
“Hey now kid, this is your uncle Seth.” He smiled when the baby gave a series of light fluttering kicks against his cheek. “That’s it, be nice to your mom, those strong kicks hurt, keep it nice and fluttering alright?” Another series of light kicks. “That’s it kid.”
Leah snickered softly, treading her hand through her brother's hair as he pressed his cheek against her stomach. “If only the baby would listen to me like that,” she said.
“I’m just a favorite uncle, what can I say?” Seth asked with a smile.
“I wouldn't let Edward, Jasper, or Jacob hear you say that. They might get jealous,” Leah replied, laughing softly.
Seth snorted. “They can be jealous all they want because I am the fave uncle!”
“Yeah, you're probably right,” Leah replied.
Seth sat up and put his finished homework in his backpack. “Is there really any point in finishing the rest of this if I’m going to transfer?”
“No, probably not,” Leah replied with a shrug before she pushed herself off of the futon. “I'm going to eat my dinner.”
“Do you need help up the stairs?” Seth questioned.
“I'm not completely helpless you know. I can take on a flight of stairs, no problem,” Leah replied, heading for the stairs, grabbing the railing.
Seth followed behind her just in case, he didn’t want his sister losing her balance and falling, especially when she couldn’t see her feet. Esme wrapped him in what would have been a warm embrace had she not been a vampire. He knew that she had been worried about him and he loved her for it. Seth hugged Esme back and kissed her cheek. “Something smells good.”
“That'd be dinner,” Esme replied with a motherly smile. “And it'll be done in a moment.”
“I’ll go get Jake,” Seth told her after he made sure Leah was seated at the table.
“Alright dear,” Esme said, disappearing back into the kitchen to check on dinner.
After Leah had left Jacob had called his lover back and the pair were currently discussing baby names. “But Caleigh goes really well with Elizabeth.”
Seth knocked on the door. “Sorry to interrupt but supper is ready,” he said.
Jacob rolled over on to his side. “Okay,” he replied to Seth. “I'll talk to you later Edward, but this discussion isn't over.”
“Oh I know it isn’t,” Edward replied. “Goodnight love.”
“Night,” Jacob replied before hanging up, looking over at Seth. “Caleigh's a good name, isn't it? Caleigh Elizabeth...that doesn't sound bad.”
“Sounds pretty, I like it.” Seth nodded his approval.
“Edward doesn't like it. Can't imagine why,” Jacob replied, shaking his head. “Unless he's giving me a hard time because that's what he does.”
Seth laughed. “Sounds like him.”
“It does,” Jacob said in agreement. “Dinner's done? I can smell it. I'm starving!!”
“Esme was just finishing up when I came to get you so I’d say it’s done by now,” Seth replied in amusement.
“Sweet!” Jacob practically sang, sliding off of the bed.
Seth shook his head as they left the room and went downstairs to the kitchen. “I was just about to call up that it was ready,” Esme told them.
“Jake and Edward were having a very deep conversation,” Seth told her as he got his plate and loaded it up.
“Oh?” Esme said, frowning, sounding concerned.
Jacob snorted softly. “He was dissing my girl's name.”
Leah laughed aloud at that. “He was dissing your girl's name?” She repeated shaking her head.
Jacob nodded. “Yeah. Like there's something wrong with Caleigh Elizabeth!”
“That’s really pretty! I might have to steal that from you…” Leah mused.
“Don't you dare!” Jacob replied, glaring at the woman.
Leah laughed. “Don’t worry Jake; I have my own names picked out. Caleigh Elizabeth is very pretty though.”
“Edward thinks it's bland,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes.
“Bland? How is Caleigh bland?” Seth questioned.
“Ask Edward,” Jacob replied, rolling his eyes.
Seth pulled out his cell phone and sent Edward a text message. How is Caleigh bland? Or are you just trying to get on Jake’s nerves?
“You tell me what he says, because if he's just being difficult I'm gonna get him,” Jacob replied crossly and just minutes after he said that Seth's phone went off with Edward's return text: It's a beautiful name. Don't tell him that. Teasing him is too much fun.
Seth smiled a little before looking up at Jacob. “He really doesn’t like the name.”
Jacob's mouth dropped in shock. “That little...” and his voice drifted off into a flurry of curse words as Esme came in with dinner.
Seth snickered softly and went back to eating his supper. He checked the time and sighed when he saw that he still had three hours to kill before Jasper usually called. “You guys wanna watch a movie or something after supper?” He asked.
“I'm in,” Jacob replied, now determined to ignore Edward and his urge to speak with his lover for the rest of the night since he didn't like the name he had picked out.
Leah nodded. “Sure. I'm sure Emmett'll join us. Right now he's attempting to put the crib together.” She laughed softly. “Funniest thing ever.”
Seth and Esme laughed too, even harder when Emmett yelled, “Not funny!” from his and Leah’s bedroom.
“I picked up a few new movies today while I was out,” Esme told them resting her hand on Seth’s shoulder.
“Cool,” Jacob replied with a grin.
“What did you get Esme?” Seth questioned.
“I laid them on the living room table,” she answered.
“This is really good Esme,” Jacob said in between mouthfuls as he ate his dinner.
“Glad you enjoy it,” she said with a smile. “I also have a hot fudge cake in the oven and there’s fresh vanilla ice cream in the fridge for dessert.”
“You outdid yourself Esme,” Seth told her.
“You really did,” Jacob replied, grinning broadly at the prospect of hot fudge cake and ice cream.
“Oh never for my favorite pack of puppies,” she replied. “Just leave the dishes in the sink when you’re done.”
Jacob snickered softly at that. “Two of the puppies are expecting puppies of their own,” he added, grinning as he felt a flutter in his stomach.
“And I can’t wait!” She kissed his and Leah’s cheek’s first and then Seth’s before she left the kitchen.
“Esme is going to love being a grandmother,” Seth said with a fond smile.
“Oh yeah,” Jacob said, laughing in agreement before he beckoned Seth over. “The baby's moving again.”
“Really?” Seth asked smiling widely. He stood and came to kneel by Jacob. “Where?”
Jacob reached for Seth's hand and laid it against his abdomen. “Around there.”
Seth’s smile only widened when he felt the baby moving, he leaned in close. “Hey kid, I’m Seth, I’m gonna be one of your uncle’s.”
Jacob snickered softly at the answering flutter he felt in his stomach. “I think its saying hello,” he replied as Leah leaned over too, laying her hand against Jacob's stomach.
“Isn't it strange? Feeling the baby kick?” She asked, looking at her alpha with a grin on her face.
“Feels like I have to pass gas,” Jacob replied with a laugh, Leah joining in as well.
Seth rolled his eyes as he went back to his seat to finish his supper. He was eager to get a piece of Esme’s fudge cake and ice cream. When they finished eating he gathered all their plates and put them in the sink. “You guys go on to the living room and pick out a movie and I’ll fix the cake and ice cream,” he told them.
“You sure?” Jacob replied.
Leah nodded, looking over at her brother. “Yeah. We're pregnant. Not crippled.”
“I’m sure,” he assured them. “Don’t worry I’ll make sure you both get a big piece.”
“I don't want a lot of cake; I just want a lot of ice cream.”
“Yeah, give me the cake you don't give her.”
“Alright. Leah wants ice cream and Jake wants cake, easy enough to remember.” Seth nodded as he got the ice cream out of the fridge.
“Right on,” Jacob replied, standing from his chair before he helped Leah out of hers.
As Jacob and Leah went to pick out a movie to watch Seth got the bowls for their cake and ice cream down before he got the cake out of the oven. The warm smell of the cake made his mouth water. Cutting a large piece of cake out for Jacob he gave the smaller piece left to Leah and then cut himself a piece. Putting the cake back in the oven so it could stay warm he then added two scoops of ice cream to each side, adding two extra scoops for Leah.
Seth found the tray that Esme used to bring food to them when they were sick. He set the three bowls on it and then added the spoons. Picking up the tray he carried it to the living room. “What movie did you guys decide on?”
“Leah picked it and she won't tell me what it is,” Jacob replied, heaving a sigh. “It's probably a chick flick.” He reached for his cake and ice cream.
“Hopefully it’ll at least be funny,” Seth said handing him his bowl.
“Jacob just has horrible taste in movies. If something isn't blowing up than it sucks,” Leah shot back as Jacob stuck out his tongue at her, taking his bowl from Seth.
Seth laughed. “She speaks the truth Jake.”
“There's nothing wrong with liking action movies,” Jacob replied with a soft snort.
“There isn’t,” Seth agreed. “But a click flick now and then won’t kill you; a lot of them are really funny.”
“It might,” Jacob replied with a pout.
“You’re hopeless,” Seth said rolling his eyes. He waited until Leah had sat down to hand her the bowl of ice cream he had made for her before grabbing his own from the tray and claiming his usual spot on the floor, laying on his stomach.
Jasper hummed softly as he waiting for Seth to pick up his cell phone. The need to talk to the little shifter was almost overwhelming. If he hadn't been so involved in hunting he would've given into the urge to call him much sooner than he did.
“Hey Jazz! I’ve been waiting for your call. How goes the hunt for the mountain lions?” Seth questioned.
Jasper smiled broadly at the sound of his lover's voice, looking over his shoulder at his brother who was still trying to call Jacob. He chuckled softly. “It's going, that's for sure, still miss you though.”
“Jacob is ignoring Edward, you can tell him to stop trying if that’s what you’re chuckling about. I miss you too, I want nothing more than to just curl up on top of you and fall asleep while you’re reading and running your fingers through my hair.”
Jasper frowned at that. “Why his Jacob ignoring Edward? Is it because of the baby name thing?” He asked, looking over at his brother again who flipped his phone closed with a frown.
“Yeah, that’s it exactly. Jake really likes the name Caleigh Elizabeth and Edward told me not to tell Jake that he was teasing because it’s so much fun to do so, do I didn’t.”
“I think he's regretting that decision right now,” Jasper replied with a chuckle.
“Oh I’m sure,” Seth agreed with a laugh of his own.
“So tell me about your day,” Jasper said after a moment, obviously he hadn't been told about Seth's trouble at school.
“It was… okay. I had a little issue with a kid at school and came home early. I’m gonna talk to Carlisle when he gets home about me transferring to Forks High,” Seth answered.
Jasper frowned at that. Concern flooding his veins. “Is everything alright?”
“Everything’s fine, don’t worry. I talked to both Jake and Leah and they think this would be the best course of action,” Seth assured him.
“Alright. Okay,” Jasper replied, still frowning because he hated to feel so helpless. He wanted to help Seth. To comfort him, but he was unable to because of the teen's heat. “I wish I was there with you.”
“Me too love, me too. But hey! I have you on the phone right now; tell me about your day. Did Edward bug you as much as Emmett? How many mountain lions did you catch? Did any give you a good chase?”
“Edward and I spent the entire day tracking one, when we finally got it we fought over it until Jacob called that first time,” Jasper replied with a grin. “It was fun. We also ran across a bear a few hours ago.”
Seth laughed. “I guess you got the first bite since Edward was distracted then huh? Did the bear put up a good fight?”
“A decent fight. It wasn't the largest we've run across, but it wasn't small either. It knocked Edward to the ground at least, but he's been distracted all day,” Jasper replied, shaking his head slowly. “I think he misses Jacob.”
“Jake misses him too; he just stares at his cell when Edward calls. He’s so stubborn,” Seth said with a fond smile.
Jasper chuckled softly. “He'll crack by morning,” he replied confidently.
“You think?” Seth thought it over. “Yeah, you’re right. Think Edward will tell him that he actually likes the name?”
“To make up with Jacob, of course, I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already sent him a text message saying that he liked it,” Jasper replied.
“Wait just a sec,” Seth told him as he jogged up the stairs of the basement and cracked the door open.
“HA! I told you! No one can dislike the name Caleigh Elizabeth!” He heard Jacob exclaim and Seth snickered.
“I think you’re right.”
Jasper chuckled at that. “At least Edward won't be sulking all night. He get’s very put out when he had Jacob are fighting.”
“I’m sure you’d help make his night a bit better with your ability,” Seth said as he closed the door and went back downstairs to lay on the futon.
“Maybe. Maybe not,” Jasper replied with a shrug.
“Well I know you could make my night better,” Seth purred.
Jasper's lips curled into a smile. “Oh really? What'd you have in mind, babe?”
“Can you ditch Edward? I doubt he wants to listen in.”
“He's...uh...preoccupied at the moment,” Jasper replied, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck before sprinting deeper into the woods. He couldn't hear what his brother was doing, but his emotions told the story well enough. “I think he and Jacob are, um, making up as we speak.”
“No fair, they stole my idea,” Seth pouted.
“We can still do it,” Jasper replied, biting his bottom lip. “It is a good idea.”
“Oh yeah, it’s a really good idea. I think an even better idea is where I’m imagining my lips right now.”
Jasper sank to the forest floor. His body already tingling in anticipation. “Oh? And where's your mouth?” He asked, his voice heavy in his lust.
“Around your cock, sucking you slowly.”
“Yes!” Jasper growled, laying back against the earth before he rubbed the bulge in his pants before his hand slipped inside.
“How does it feel baby? My tongue running over the vein on the underside? Coming up and teasing the sweet spot under the head?”
His fingers followed the very same path before his hand left his pants to unbutton them. Then he pulled his erection free, stroking it with a delighted moan. “Ngh. Baby...it feels so good...you're mouth is always so hot!” He wondered sometimes how'd hot Seth would be on the inside. If he was buried deeply in the teenager. Touching him in ways he'd never been touched in before.
“I’m going to ignore your cock now,” Seth told him, his breath coming out in pants.
Jasper's eyes fluttered and he growled lowly as he bucked into his hand. “T-teasing over the phone?”
“Not really… I just can’t lick the sweet spot behind your balls if my mouth his full of your cock,” Seth answered. “I’m licking and my hand is holding your balls.”
Jasper nearly dropped his phone as his hand immediately sought out the spot. “God, Seth!” He moaned, arching and bucking as his finger nudged the spot.
“Enjoy that love?” Seth questioned, Jasper could hear the smile in his voice. “I’m enjoying it too.”
“Are you?” Jasper panted. “Are you touching yourself too? Tell me how. Tell me what you're thinking about love. Are you imagining me doing the same thing to you? I know how much you love my tongue on you, babe.”
“I am. I have my legs propped up on the arm of the futon so that I can touch that spot. It feels so good. I’m touching it lightly, teasingly but then applying more pressure about every three strokes. You’ve done this with your tongue before and I loved it.”
Jasper grinned at the knowledge that his little love so intimately remembered what he did to his body. He left out a soft sigh as his hand returned to his cock, stroking it, wanting to get off.
Seth whimpered, biting his lip as he unknowingly copied Jasper’s action. “Your hand feels so good Jazz, so cold, just a little faster…yeah… like that.”
A shiver passed through Jasper's body and he moaned Seth's name, his hand moving faster, all the while imaging it was his lover's hot hand wrapped around his erection. “So close, babe, so close.”
“Uh-huh…” Seth groaned. “Oh yeah baby, that’s it… right there… ah! Jazz… Jasper… I’m coming!”
“That's it, babe, cum. Let me hear you,” Jasper moaned, his hand moving even faster, his eyes clamping closed when his release overwhelmed him, his hips arching into his hand and his cum covering his hand and staining his clothes.
Jasper could hear the soft sound’s that Seth made after his release and his panting breath over the phone. “Mm… phone sex is so good with you Jazz.”
“It's good with you too, but I still miss seeing you cum. And feeling your body against mine,” Jasper replied, his body shivering and if he hadn't just spent himself, he'd be throbbing in his hand again.
Seth hummed. “I’d have to agree, that is the best part love… but this is a good substitute when that isn’t possible.”
“That it is,” Jasper agreed readily.
“Do you think using just your fingers would be too much?” Seth questioned.
Jasper frowned at that. His lust addled mind confused. “What do you mean babe?”
“What you did the first time I had my heat, you put your fingers in me…it felt good… I’d like to feel it again,” Seth told him softly.
“Oh,” Jasper replied, sitting up. “I could try...if you wanted me to.”
“I do, but I wouldn’t want to tempt you to much…” Seth answered. “Okay that’s a lie; I do want to tempt you, badly. But I don’t want you to feel guilty about it.”
“I'm going to feel guilty about it unless I'm sure you're ready for it,” Jasper replied softly, sighing. “But if you want me to try fingering you...I will, I think I'll be okay. I only lost control last time because of your heat.”
“I think I’m ready,” Seth said. “How do I know Jazz?”
“If you're asking yourself that, then you're not ready love,” Jasper replied with a fond smile, wishing it were true. If it were he'd be on his way home tonight.
Seth sighed. “I don’t like that answer. I want you, all of you, not just your tongue or fingers but everything. I know that without question.”
“Babe...” Jasper started, but couldn't finish. He just groaned softly. “Just...” He sighed heavily. “Not while you're on your heat. I don't think I could stop if I needed to...we'll...we'll talk about it, okay?”
“Okay,” Seth agreed. “Sorry if I’m pushing you Jazz… I just… I’m just pulled to you, everything about you. I love you.”
“And I love you and that's why I don't want you to do something you might regret,” Jasper replied softly.
“I’m not going to regret anything related to you.”
“If we have sex before you're ready it will be something you regret, Seth.”
Seth growled softly. He didn’t have Jasper’s unending patience, he was also still a teen and therefore he did the only thing that made sense at the moment. He hung up on Jasper.
“Seth?” Jasper repeated, frowning before he looked at the screen of his cell phone, seeing that the call had been ended.
Seth put his phone on the coffee table and went to the bathroom to clean up. Normally he would have taken a shower and then read or gone to bed but now he was pissed. This just hadn’t been his day. After washing off he went upstairs, leaving his phone on the coffee table, and told Esme he was going to go for a run.
“Everything okay?” She asked.
“Just fine,” Seth answered as he left the house, removing his clothes and phasing.
Esme frowned as she watched him through the window, wondering what had upset the teen again.
Seth had left the door to the basement slightly ajar in his haste to go for a run so she heard his phone buzzing against the wood of the coffee table down there. She knew she shouldn’t but after the afternoon he had had she was worried about Seth so she went down into the basement and retrieved the phone. She raised an eyebrow at the smell that tickled her nose as she picked up the phone. Three missed calls from Jasper and two text messages. She sighed, first Jacob was ignoring Edward and now it seemed Seth was doing the same to Jasper.
She didn't know what had gotten into her boys, but she hoped it'd be out of them soon. It hurt her to see her children and her children's mates (who were like her own children) upset, fighting, and ignoring each other.
The phone vibrated in her hand as Jasper called again. Esme debated answering it, she knew it wasn’t her place but Jasper had a right to know why Seth wasn’t answering his calls. Flipping the phone open she brought it to her ear, “Seth’s phone.”
Jasper started when it wasn't Seth answering his phone. “E-esme...? Where's Seth?”
“I believe he went out for a run, at least he went outside and phased,” she answered.
“Damnit!” Jasper growled. “Would you tell him to call me when he gets back? Tell him I'm sorry, but we need to talk.”
Esme blinked. “Of course I will Jasper. Do you need someone to talk to?”
He did, but he wasn't sure Esme wanted to hear about his and Seth's sex life. “It's just...” Jasper started, chewing his bottom lip.
“I’m listening Jasper, you can tell me anything,” Esme told him.
“Seth thinks he's ready to have sex,” Jasper replied softly. “But I don't think he is. He's just so young...”
Esme hummed thoughtfully. “Teens are having sex earlier and earlier these days… I think Seth is too young as well but then I am from an older time. Is there any reason that you don’t think he’s ready other than age?”
“I don't want him to regret it, Esme,” Jasper replied softly.
“A first time is primarily based on emotion, whether it be anger, love or lust or any other number of emotions. I can’t see you hurting Seth in any way. Are you sure this is just about Seth? Maybe it is you who isn’t ready to take this next step.”
Jasper opened his mouth to counter, but he stopped short. “I...never thought about it like that.”
Esme smiled softly. “Maybe you should before you talk to Seth again,” she suggested.
“I will,” Jasper replied. “Thanks Esme.”
“You’re welcome Jasper. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Bye Esme.”
