Blood Mates

Love

Jasper liked working at Greg’s Caffeine House. It was a good place to work, his boss was really nice, and he had a lot of friends within the staff. Plus regulars who tipped him amazing, so that was a plus.

Dropping coffees, offering refills, and sandwiches to the customers, Jasper finally had a second to himself. So, he drank some water as he looked around the busy coffee place.

Greg’s Caffeine House was a popular attraction among the college and high school students. A lot of them camped out on the comfy bean bag chairs, plush seats, or couches with books and papers scattered around them.

Jasper kept them supplied with their dose of java only and tried to be enthusiastic as he did so. But the smile on his face only became genuine when the door opened and he glanced up seeing Alaia coming in.

She bounced to him in her cute winter outfit and giggled looking him over, “My working man,” She teased giving him a kiss. Jasper laughed, “You know it. Got to buy the pretty girl in my life something even prettier.”

Alaia blushed as she whispered, “Well aren’t I special?” Jasper kissed her again, “Very.”

Jasper laughed as her green eyes looked up at him sweetly, “I was wondering if you wanted to maybe do something tonight?” Jasper grinned as his manager, Nathan looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, that’d be cool. But I better get back to work.” Alaia gave him a kiss goodbye that had guys sighing with envy. Alaia left out not caring about the eyes following her but one set.

Jasper’s.

Smiling as he went back to making coffees, Jasper jumped when Nathan came over and slapped a hand down on his shoulder, “Dude you been holding out on me?” Jasper looked up at their other co-worker, a tattooed and pierced sophomore in college came over.  Stacie was staring at Jasper impressed as she fixed a cappuccino.

“What do you mean?” Jasper asked Nathan confused. Stacie laughed as his boss looked incredulous, “Nothing sweetie, we’re just surprised. Your girlfriend is really cute, seemed even sweeter.”

Nathan waved that off as his green eyes sparkled with hope, “Yeah, yeah that’s all fine and dandy. But she’s hot, and the real question is does she have a hot older sister you could possibly set me up with?”

Jasper rolled his eyes laughing, “Just a brother, and before you ask, he’s married. Happily.” Nathan scowled at Jasper as he muttered, “Wasn’t going to.” Stacie giggled as she looked over at Jasper, “I was.” She playfully winked making him laugh again.

Jasper was in a pretty good mood for the remainder of his shift. Even though three of his regulars seemed a little salty of his apparent relationship with Alaia. But Jasper was sure nothing could dampen his mood.

As he walked out of the shopping center his job was located in, he literally bumped into Donny, said excuse me and started on his way again. He would have never know it was him until he heard a curse and looked up.

Jasper had to do a double take because Donny was looking so rough.

He was paler than Jasper had ever seen on a human being. His blue eyes were bloodshot, dark bags under them, and even worse? He reeked of drugs and some kind of beer making Jasper’s stomach turn.

Donny looked Jasper up and down looking every bit of the feral druggie he was as he snarled, “The f**k you looking at golden boy?” Jasper decided then he didn’t want to be bothered with Donny’s bullshit today.

He started to leave the miserable sad sack of s**t to his own self-destruction when Donny suddenly looked around, “Where’s that sexy piece of ass you’re usually dragging around?”

Jasper’s spine went flagpole straight, “My girlfriend is of none of your f*****g concern Donald.” Donny smirked nastily, “Isn’t that what you said about Paige? But she was my concern for a minute.” Looking Jasper over Donny asked, “You didn’t try her out before I scooped her up, did you? She was hella flex-.” Jasper met Donny’s eyes and shook his head, “You’re disgusting Donny, and you need help. Serious, psychological help, before you ruin your f*****g life.”

Donny couldn’t respond because Jasper walked off leaving him snarling on the side walk. Jasper shook off what Donny said purely because he trusted Alaia enough to know she’d never go anywhere near the creep. But also because, he honestly didn’t feel like being caught up in the major s**t Donny was trying to stir.

And he wasn’t going to let the prick get the satisfaction of making him paranoid or insecure.

Jasper went home and washed the smell of coffee, different flavored creamers, and sweat off him. When he was getting out of the shower, he got a text from Alaia who dropped him a pin and told him to tell his dad he was with AJ for the night.

Jasper didn’t really need to since his dad had been lately spending A LOT of time with a certain window from a town over. Jasper had heard him sneaking in late in the night from spending time with her like a teenager.  

After texting AJ to let him know he was a cover if his dad called, Jasper was pulling on his shirt when his friend hit him back.

AJ: Done. But if my dad or mom calls I’m with you.

Jas: Done.

AJ: Don’t forget a glove man. No babies ?

Jasper threw his phone down like it’d burned him. Even though he’d and Alaia had, had s*x, it still felt awkward for him. How did he approach her wanting to do it again without coming off as some s*x crazed fiend?

What if this date was just a romantic way of her wanting to spend time with him? Would he ruin it by pulling out a condom?

Jasper after ten minutes of mental agony, finally decided to grab two condoms to be on the safe side. After pulling on his hoodie and jeans, Jasper grabbed his keys and headed out.

Following the pin had been easy, he drove almost an hour to the opposite side of town, and then he got to a deserted apple farm.

Driving like she’d texted him too, Jasper found himself in the back of the fallen house at the barn. Looking around confused, Jasper thought for a moment he’d done something wrong. But he heard something inside the barn and approached.

Opening it slowly, Jasper was surprised to find Alaia finishing lighting one of many candles and smiled happily, “Hey.” Alaia turned and grinned, “Surprise!” she said waving her hands around adorably. Jasper laughed a little as he took in her handy work.

Besides the candles for light, they had a string of white Christmas lights strung up through the rafters. Alaia had spread out a stack of blankets on the floor with pillows, her laptop opened to Hulu on top. There were three huge heaters in the room keeping it nice and warm so Jasper could take off his sweatshirt without complaint.

 Jasper kissed Alaia awed as he looked around, “I can’t believe you did all this. I would have helped.” Alaia blushed shaking her head, “Would have ruined the surprise.”

And then she pulled him on the pallet of blankets and pulled out a picnic basket. Enjoying his favorite snacks as they watched Rick and Morty, Alaia and Jasper were cuddling when the kissing began.

Jasper breathed in Alaia and honestly couldn’t get enough. Her scent, her taste, her touch, all of it made him come alive in a way he’d never felt before.

So as she straddled his waist, Jasper panted a little as she began undoing his shirt. Sitting up to help her, Jasper kissed down her neck. “Jasper.” Alaia panted as he began undoing her dress.

Jasper kissed her soft mouth hungrily, because even with the taste of Alaia imprinted in his brain. It was never enough. He wanted more, all of it, because even when her lips left his just for a second so she could finish getting out of her dress felt too long. 

Alaia gasped as Jasper laid her down on the pallet gently covering his body with hers. Alaia was pleasantly dazed as Jasper unhooked her bra for her, his slight fumble making them both laugh. Jasper blushed as she looked up at him amused.

“Sorry, not a lot of practice getting a girl out of her clothes.” He admitted shyly. Alaia grinned sitting up finding him so f*****g hot she couldn’t stand it.

“Trust me, I don’t mind.” She assured him before kissing him again. Jasper breathed in sharply as Alaia’s soft hands caressed over his shoulders and down his chest. As her fingers dipped over his abs and then lower to his belt buckle, Alaia’s lips followed as she softly rained kisses.

Undoing his belt, Alaia undid his pants and Jasper kissed her as she pulled his member out of his pants.

He almost felt like he’d died and gone to heaven as Alaia stroked him. Her soft hand working him up as he kissed her like it was their last night on earth.

Alaia nervously pulled back and then her mouth went to the head of Jasper’s erection. Nervous, Jasper started to stop her, but Alaia calmed him with a simple smile, “I want to.”

And then she was blowing him, and Jasper was embarrassed he couldn’t let her do that all night. But Alaia was good with her mouth and tongue and had him about to call for God when he gently pushed her back. Kissing her as he pulled her panties off, Jasper pushed her legs over his shoulders.

Alaia started to rise up and stop him, but Jasper placed a gentle hand on her stomach. “It’s okay…it’s your turn.” Alaia’s words on her tongue became a jumble of confused thoughts as Jasper kissed the inside of her thighs.

Legs shaking, Alaia’s entire body zinged with pleasure as Jasper’s mouth tasted her. His tongue was erotic on her body and practically sinful as she held on to the covers. Her hips moved with the motion of his mouth on instinct and soon Alaia was seeing stars and her mouth was saying things it wouldn’t normally say.

But it was enough to push Jasper over the edge. He couldn’t wait any longer and was soon wiping the corner’s his mouth and grabbing a condom. He opened it and as Alaia watched him put it on, he looked down at her heatedly as he crawled on top of her.

Alaia moaned as Jasper’s head pushed into her gently and then he rocked into her slow.  As their bodies grinded together under the covers, their shadows moved seductively in their romantic lighting. 

Jasper groaned low in the back of his throat as Alaia moved them gently so she was on top. Jasper swore as Alaia straddled him and as he looked up at her, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

She was so f*****g beautiful. He almost felt like she was too good to be real.

Alaia kissed Jasper intensely as if knowing his thoughts and saying her amen. So as her body took him, her heart latched on to his effortlessly. Jasper and Alaia both held on tight to one another as their bodies naturally moved faster.

As they called out the other’s names, it was minutes before either could come to sense. Laying in the warm glow of their love making, Alaia looked up at Jasper as he kissed her head softly.

Moving a curl out of her face, Jasper softly whispered, “I love you.” Alaia looked at him in fear as her green eyes welled up, “No matter what?” Jasper looked at her surprised but nodded, “Yes.”

Jasper watched her nose flare, her tell of trying not to cry. Kissing her face gently, Jasper started to assure Alaia she didn’t have to say it back. He wouldn’t pressure or rush her to, he wasn’t going anywhere. But Alaia cradled his jaw gently and whispered huskily, “I love you too.”

Jasper smile split his face and as he tried to get Alaia to say it over and over again. As many times as possible, he wanted to hear it, wanted to remember every time her lips said it.

Because in Jasper’s young heart full of first time love, he wanted what everyone did.

For it to last forever.
