POV Seraphina

I opened my eyes relaxed and felt a pleasant warmth around me. Scattered rays of sunshine spilled into the open space and a glance to the right presented me with a breathtaking view.
The sun was just rising, bathing the great forest in a red veil.

"Good morning Phina, I hope you slept well", a voice sounded next to me and when I widened my perspective to the left I came across a Jasper that was also slightly illuminated by the dawn.
What amazed me even more, however, was his almost white skin, which began to sparkle like many small diamonds.

The side of his face sparkled in my direction, which almost took my breath away and only one thought crossed my mind; beautiful!
Curiously, I raised my hand and slowly stroked his cheek, which made the sparkles to glitter on my hand.
A smile spread across my face, "wow I've only read about it until now..."

Deep in my exploration, I didn't catch Jasper eyeing me lovingly and letting me touch his skin.
I ran my fingertips over his face, letting that aspect wash over me. I kept going until I finally reached his perfect lips, reflecting his crooked grin.
"You are beautiful Jasper", I breathed softly against his lips, eventually closing our distance.

He immediately melted into the shy kiss, as did I, and I could hear a purr that seemed to come from deep within his chest.
He quickly deepened the kiss, gently pulling my head closer to him and what started as a shy and reserved kiss, turned into a passionate and fiery one.

Panting slightly, I pulled away from him and leaned my forehead against his, my eyes still closed to absorb the moment.
"Good morning Jasper, I've never slept better", I admitted softly, then settled back after opening my eyes.
"I redid your bandage, I hope that's alright", he explained and I looked down at my left arm, which was indeed bandaged.

I was also wearing a relatively large white shirt that must have belonged to him and I smiled gently at the thought that he was taking care of me even after I was asleep.
"Thank you Jas", I said lovingly and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before I crawled out of the soft bed and headed towards the bathroom.

He watched me leave and let me go into the bathroom to get ready.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him pick up a book next to him and he continued to read it.
Once in the bathroom, I quickly freshened up until my eyes fell on a small crystal; my crystal.
I picked up the blue stone with the chain and looked at it.

It was a beautiful blue, but if you looked closely you could see some kind of flame inside.
The stone had a small portion of my energy in it and was activated during the ceremony so it could take on my color.
I took it out of the bathroom and thought about what to do with it now.
Without it, all of Jasper's gifts worked on me, but the real question was whether I wanted that permanently or not.

I closed the door behind me and went to my things so I could put my clothes back on.
I picked up my backpack and rummaged around vigorously after storing my crystallite inside.
Cool arms wrapped around my waist and I received a kiss on my neck.
"Why don't you come back to me Darlin? I think you look really good in my clothes", he breathed at me, and a pleasant shiver ran down my spine.

I lowered my backpack and turned to him in his embrace. His honey blonde hair framed his face and shone beautifully in the sunlight.
His crooked grin never left his face and for a moment I lost myself in his golden eyes, which were slightly darker than usual.
His hard body was pressed against mine and he seemed as enchanted as I was.

Only when I felt something hard pressed against my thigh I was able to tear myself out of my rigid state and blushed, as I immediately knew what it was.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about that, only you can trigger something like that in me", he apologized, but I knew from his cheeky grin that he wasn't sorry at all.

Our little moment didn't last long and I never heard what else Jasper was about to say to me when suddenly the door swung open and Emmett stood in the doorway.
Jasper's mood changed like a bolt of lightning as he moved in front of me so Emmett couldn't see me.
A dark growl escaped him immediately and Emmett just laughed at his reaction.

"Calm down tiger, I'm just supposed to let you know that breakfast is ready and I'm supposed to take Seraphina downstairs", he said relaxed and then winked at me dramatically.
I put my hand on his shoulder reassuringly, "take it easy Jasper."
My gesture really seemed to have reassured him, but he wasn't amused at all by Emmett's action.
He continued to watch him cautiously.

"Had some fun last night, huh?", Emmett continued to grin and my small hands clawed at the back of Jasper's shirt that he was wearing.
I peeked past him, red as a tomato, "I-I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh please, Sera, as everyone noticed, you weren't really quiet", he laughed and then closed the door again to go downstairs.

Stunned, I still stared at the already closed door and had to swallow hard.

How could I forget that!

With their preternaturally good hearing, it was no wonder they could hear everything that was going on in the house.
"Did you know that, Jasper?" I asked, now turning to him, crossing my arms over my chest.
Only now his eyes parted from the door and his dark gaze brightened until his charming smile was back on his lips.

"You knew it!" I immediately inferred from his silence and punched his shoulder lightly, which made him chuckle.
"I'm sorry Darlin", he tried, but everyone would know that he wasn't sorry at all.
"Don't you dare!" I almost laughed, pouting to myself while he just looked at me softly.
His arms wrapped around my waist again and he kissed my lips.

I just couldn't resist and deepened the kiss, pressing him closer to me and a contented growl escaped his throat.
"I have to change now", I whispered against his lips and then went back to my backpack, which had landed forgotten on the floor.

After my breakfast I was back on the couch with the rest of the family.
Jasper sat relaxed next to me, his arm wrapped around my waist and his attention was on me.

Micah texted me that he would pick me up later as he had already taken the gray car.
He didn't want to tell me just yet how Aaron felt about the Cullens, but he also didn't mention that I should be afraid of being attacked by him, which was partly good.
Jasper didn't like the thought of our farewells, but since school started again tomorrow, we had to go back to our usual routines.

Of course Alice and I had our presentation in English and since we had English in the first lesson I wanted to prepare again in the evening and go through everything.
I would have loved to have stayed with Jasper longer to do something with him, but I didn't want my grades at school to drop either.
Aaron definitely wanted to talk to me as well, and that talk was very important to me because I wanted him to get along with the Cullens, or at least give them a chance.

"Do you really have to go already Phina?"
Sitting on his bed, he looked down at me, a little pained, as I neatly packed up my things.
"We'll see each other again at school tomorrow", I explained amusedly as I closed my backpack and now also looked at him.
After a while we went back into his room and made ourselves comfortable on his bed.

His long fingers ran through my blond strands and I rested my head on his chest as he told me a little more about himself.
"But Darlin I need you here with me...", he began but I quickly put my index finger on his lips.
His golden eyes watched me closely and his brow furrowed slightly.
Out of nowhere his pink tongue shot out and licked my index finger, which I wanted to pull away in surprise. Jasper was quicker though and continued to gently hold my wrist against his lips.

Suddenly a strong wave of lust overcame me and my body started to get very hot.
Now it was me to draw my eyebrows together and nervously I bit my bottom lip between my teeth.
"Yeah, that's unfair!", I pouted slightly and only a devilish grin formed on his face that gave me goosebumps.
"I don't know what you mean", he said in a slightly hoarse voice and his eyes slowly darkened.

He pulled me onto the bed in the blink of an eye so that I was now sitting on his lap and I could feel his hardness pressing against me.
I sucked in a sharp breath and he immediately took the opportunity to kiss me passionately and explore my mouth with his tongue.
My hands found his shoulders and a groan escaped me, which Jasper returned with a growl.

Almost unconsciously I tried to create friction between us and closed my eyes in sheer bliss.
Jasper's lips found my neck and he began licking gently there, nipping lightly at my soft skin.
His hair tickled my hot skin, but all I could focus on were his lips.
Every now and then an intense wave of emotions ran through me and slowly I no longer knew whether they were just his or some of them mine too.

"Yes..." I gasped when he started sucking on my neck and he immediately found my sweet spot without really looking for it.
I moved my hips against his, desperately to feel him better and quickly he held me tighter against him so I could do so.

"Sera!! Come on down, we can drive", my brother's voice suddenly got through to me and I immediately broke away from Jasper, who ran his tongue over his lips again.
"Fuck..." I managed to get out and tried to get my breathing back under control.
I quickly got off the bed and straightened my shirt before looking back at Jasper, who wasn't at all happy with the sudden interruption.

"I'm sorry Jas... but I promise I'll see you tomorrow", I assured him and gave him another quick kiss on his perfect lips.
I separated from him again and looked into his eyes, which were still slightly dark and slowly became brighter.
He sighed once and then nodded at me with his charming smile, "of course."

Like a true gentleman he walked me to the car and said goodbye to me, "see you tomorrow Darlin."
He gave me a slightly longer kiss, which I of course returned passionately and then I only saw him in the rear-view mirror as he looked after the car which I was sitting in.
