Reality Bites

[Alice Brandon]

"No, he won't mind it. Technically it's my store, I was supposed to inherit it when I turned eighteen. Only..it's not something I have any interest in doing. I'd rather try out my band first before I get stuck in the family business." Christian explained. "It's a clothing store. We design everything we sell. The job is yours if you want it."

"Well your father knows." Alice replied with a smart-Alec grin. She lifted Jasper up by his arms and pulled him snugly into her lap so that she was nearly completely hidden by his larger body. The head in her lap had been causing her to think some very unladylike things.

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"A clothing store." Leah grimaced. The job sounded awesome and she'd be more than happy to accept it but there was one problem. "Does that mean that I would have to wear a skirt and cute clothes?" She asked suspiciously. The band caught her attention. "A band? you play?" She was very curious

Jasper chuckled when Alice pulled him up. He couldn't hear her thought sbut he could feel her not ladylike emotions. "not this way" He murmured picking her up and changing their positions so she was sitting in his lap. not a good idea either. now it was Jasper's turn to think the way a gentleman would never do.

Owen snickered. "Jasper, I think you got some mail. It's upstairs in your room. you should check it now in case it was something important"

[Alice Brandon]

Alice was off the sofa and up the stairs before Owen had even finished speaking. She knew what he was doing and she was quite thankful that he offered up the opportunity to get away. She had an itch that only Jasper could scratch. "Jasper, come! There is a very important piece of mail that you need to open up right now!"

"Not necessarily" Christian chuckled, catching a lock of her hair and giving it a light tug. "You just can't look..I mean you just have to look presentable." He answered. He had been about to say she couldn't look homeless but he figured she would take offense to that so he decided to save himself from a slap. "There's no band yet but yes I play. It has always been a dream of mine." He nodded, his body tensing when Jasper and Alice decided to leave them alone with his blood sucking parents.

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

Jasper was up as soon as Owen finished. "Please excuse me" He bowed and flew up the stairs closing the door and then tackling Alice pulling her onto the bed. He rolled them over so he was atop of her with his face at the same level with her stomach. "Now let's see what's in this important message" He murmured rolling her shirt up and kissing her stomach.

"You mean I need some decent clothes" Leah caught the hint but decided not to feel offended. She knew her clothes were in a bad state and she wouldn't mind a new set. She supposed she'd really have to let Alice take her shopping. "That's great. I hope to hear you play sometimes then"

"Aidan plays too" Amelia added looking at Christian with a small smile. She knew about Aidan's dream of having a band with Christian.

[Alice Brandon]

Alice squealed loudly as she was tackled onto the bed, each kiss to her stomach sending tiny unexpected shivers through her body. "I think it's been put into code Soldier, I don't understand it.." She murmured, raising to sit up on her elbows to watch him work his way across her bare stomach.

The squeal from overhead made it very clear as to what the happy couple was up to. Jasper was getting lucky. Christian gagged. "They can't even wait until I leave.." He grumbled to himself, trying to focus on Leah instead. This proved difficult as he had caught them in the act before and the images were currently swirling around in his head. "If you live with me then you'll hear me play. I usually play Brooklyn's song every night before she goes to sleep." He looked to Amelia, managing a weak smile that eventually ended up looking like a grimace. He wouldn't offend her son right in front of her. "Do you think you could show Leah to her room, Ma'am? So she can get settled? I really must be going.."

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"In that case we need to decode it" Jasper murmured letting his lips travel highed. "It's a difficult code I will need to work on it harder" He looked u at Alice and smirked. "But it needs time. A lot of time." His fingers removed her top painfully slowly

Leah looked up with Christian and sighed. "At least you didn't hav to be in his company when he was talking to her or thinking about her. Especially when he thought I was asleep. Seriously the waves of lust he sent around were a hell." She sighed. "I think it's better he's with her now. Safer. " She smiled when Christian mentioned playing.

"Of course" Amelia nodded. "Are you sure you won't stay?" She asked Chris before getting up and picking Leah's backpack. It looked strange with her long satin dress and high heels but she still moved gracefully with it. "Let's go dear. It's on the other end of the corridor" She winked

[Alice Brandon]

Alice squirmed; it had been far too long for him to start playing it slow now. His shirt disappeared in less than a second, not even a single tear nor button misplaced from her accuracy. “Time is money my dear soldier. At this rate I’m going to cost you a fortune.”

“I’m sure. I have to speak with my father about getting Leah a job and I should get home to Brooklyn soon.” Christian sighed, getting to his feet and helping Leah up to press a kiss to the top of her hand. “I’ll come rescue you as soon as I can, my Damsel in Distress..”

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"Don't worry about that" Jasper purred rolling her top and over her head "I have money. I can buy you anything you want" He kissed up her chest and neck to her lips. "But now I need to focus on more important tasks" He looked down observing his hand as it traveled up her leg and under her mini skirt.. "Much more important. And they need precision"

Leah chuckled when Christian kissed her hand. "I'm not a Damsel in Distress but I'll accept your offer and be waiting" She bowed, forgetting a curtsey would be more appropriate in this case. "Thank you for your help. And I'll get you for leaving me alone with those two" She pointed up to the ceiling

[Alice Brandon]

"Anything I want?" Alice questioned with a greedy smirk on her face. That sounded promising. He still owed her a very expensive motorcycle. Those thoughts were completely erased from her mind though when his hand suddenly slipped under her skirt, making her toes curl. "And what's that?" She whimpered against his lips as she reached down to catch his hand from getting any farther or else the whole house would hear her moans.

"If you are needing me to rescue you then you are my Damsel." Christian replied, dropping low into a curtsy as he pressed one last kiss to her knuckles. "I'll be waiting for my punishment. See you soon Leah. Amelia..Owen.." He nodded to each one as he quickly backed out of the door before he could be stopped again.

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"Anything" Jasper confirmed already afraid of the future state of his account. The mentioned expensive motorcycle was already hidden in the garage in the manor but Jasper made sure to never think about it till the right time so Alice wouldn't know it was there. "I have no idea" He said shamelessly when she caugh his hand. As soon as she stopped it his other hand took the same road nly on her other leg.

Leah giggled at his acting. "I owe you no punishment...yet" She chuckled ducking her head when he nodded. She watched him leave before turning around and following Amelia upstairs. She was looking around curiously

[Alice Brandon]

"So you are basically winging this? That's such a pity Mr. Swift, a soldier is supposed to always have a plan." Alice teased, smacking his other hand away as it tried to sneak back up her leg. She linked her fingers through both of his, briefly wondering if she would need handcuffs to get him to obey. "You do not get to cop a feel unless I get to do the same. It's only fair.."

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"Cop a feel?" Jasper snickered looking up at her. He let her link her fingers with his but leaned his head and bit at ther thigh gently. "I always have a plan my sweet. I'm a strategist, remember?" He kissed up her thigh then over her skirt to her neck guiding her hand to his bare chest. "Be my guest" he purred

[Alice Brandon]

Alice gasped as his razor sharp teeth grazed her thigh. "Then lets hear this oh so great plan of yours my sweet. That is if you have one, I can't see a thing.." She ordered, smirking as she scraped her nails along the half mooned scars that lined his chest. Her head fell to the side once he reached her neck, her bottom lip catching between her teeth. "Bite me.."

[Jasper Swift Kinney]

"I would not dare my lady" Jasper murmured against her skin, hissing when her nails scraped his scarred chest. "This beautiful neck deserves only kisses. Which I'm planning to do. Kiss every inch of your beautiful body. And when it's done i'm going to start all over again" To proe it he took her hand and raised it to his lips kissing each fingertip slowly

[Alice Brandon]

Alice sighed, it was worth a try. Part of her really wanted him to do it. There was only one crescent moon that flawed her granite skin, the mark of a past lover. That mark deserved to be his. She could take the pain for him. She moved her arms to lay flat against his sheets, watching contently as a kiss was pressed to each one of her fingers. "That's very romantic Jasper. I'm impressed. I wish I was brave enough to do the same."
