"Any particular reason you're lurking outside my door?" Jasper asked with his brows raised.

"I-I uh.. I.. Well I was going to get some water and I saw your light was on so I was going to check on you." Kat said, stumbling over the first half of the sentence. Jasper smiled gently at her, "Mind if I join you?"

Kat gasped, "No no no, you stay here you're the guest. I'll go fix you a glass of water, ice?" Jasper rolled his eyes, "I'll take a good amount of ice." Kat smiled at him and turned to go downstairs.

As she made her way down she saw her family returning. Kat put a finger to her lips and pointed up the stairs. Her family nodded and very quietly made their way into their rooms.

Kat returned upstairs with the waters, the ice clinking in the glasses. She gently tapped Jasper's door with her foot to let him know she was back. Jasper opened the door and motioned for her to come in. He sat on his bed and smiled at her.

Kat shut the door behind her with her foot. She handed the water to Jasper and took a sip of her own. Jasper gulped down the water like he hadn't had any for days. She giggled softly at him, "Calm down you'll choke!"

"Well.." he blushed as he trailed off. "At least I'm hydrated!" He laughed, with a hint of unease. Kat knew that's not what he was going to say but didn't want to push it. She took a seat at his desk, facing him.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Jasper asked. Kathryn shrugged, "I'm an open book." He snorted, "Are you?" She laughed, quickly covering her mouth trying to be quiet.

"I don't have anything to hide." Kat said. That's a lie, I have too much to hide. My magic, me being a werecat, and my feelings for him. She thought to herself. "Well, what's your favorite animal?" He asked her.

"Black panthers." Kat said quickly. "Yours?"

"Dolphin, all the way." He replied. "Or a cute little puppy." Kathryn smiled at him, "That's pretty neat, I should probably let you get to bed though."

"You don't have to leave." Jasper said extremely quietly. "Oh?" Kathryn said, her brows raised. She had phenomenal hearing due to her ability.

He blushed not realizing she heard him, "O-oh, well we could talk some more but if you're tired I understand." Kathryn smirked. "We could watch a movie or something, I've got a huge collection of DVDs in my room." Jasper nodded, smiling at her.

Kat got up and walked off to her room to grab some movies. Jasper turned on his TV and DVD player and laid on his bed. He burrowed under the covers and waited for Kat to return.

Kat dug through her shelf of movies making sure to grab her favorites from Studio Ghibli as well as some action and horror movies. She strode back into Jasper's room, triumphantly holding up the several movies she selected. "You pick first!" She said, her eyes gleaming.

Jasper picked a thriller horror movie and Kat immediately got to work putting it on. She then turned off the light and sat on the bed next to Jasper. "You can lay under the covers if you want to, no funny business I promise." He said looking at her innocently.

She blushed slightly and got under the covers with him, not touching but close enough to feel his warmth. The movie started and they were instantly immersed in it.

The first jump scare did nothing to Kathryn, but Jasper nearly jumped out of his skin. Kat chuckled at him but continued paying attention to the movie. About halfway through the film Kat noticed that their arms were touching. She thought about scooting away but then thought this could be her chance.

Jasper yawned and stretched, trying to sneakily put his arm around Kathryn. She rolled her eyes and pulled his arm around her. Kat was blushing but had the biggest grin on her face. She snuggled close to him, putting her head on his chest and her hand on the bottom of his belly. Her pinky barely dipped into the waistband of his pants, she giggled as she heard how fast his heart was beating.

Then she could smell it. The smell of jasmine and pine with a faint scent of honey. It was intoxicating. She took a deep whiff, realizing it was Jasper. Mate. The word burned itself into her mind. Her eyes widened. There's no way Jasper is her mate. He's only human, isn't he?

Kathryn took another sniff trying to determine if Jasper truly was human. He also had a metallic scent to him, almost like blood. The only creature that smells like blood are vampires, and Kathryn hasn't heard of any being seen since the War of Dreha.

Kat brushed it off for now and figured she'd investigate later. For now, she was enjoying being held by him. Jasper had the biggest grin on his face and he held her tighter. The movie finished and Kathryn looked up over her glasses into his hazel eyes and paused, just staring into those gorgeous pools.

Jasper looked into her minty green eyes. "You're so goddamn beautiful.." He whispered to her. She blushed and smiled softly at him. Jasper leaned forward and kissed her softly at first, moving his hand to her cheek, stroking it gently with his thumb.

Kat deepened the kiss, throwing some passion into it. Jasper's tongue gently brushed against hers and exploring her mouth. She then moved her leg over to straddle him. They continued kissing for a while as his hand moved to the back of her neck and his other hand to her waist. Kat gently bit and tugged on his lip, lightly grinding her hips against him. Jasper slid his hand under her shirt and scratched her back, making Kat arch her back and gasp.

She smirked at him and dove back into kissing him, pushing her tongue in his mouth and grinding even harder against him this time. Jasper groaned softly into her mouth, gripping her hips. He pushed his hips hard against hers. This only caused her to moan softly and shudder.

"We probably shouldn't, I did say no funny business." Jasper said. Kat pouted, "Are you not enjoying this?"

Jasper's eyes widened, "I'm loving every second of this, I just don't want to do anything you don't want." She smiled at him, "You have no idea how long I've wanted this."
