Jasper chuckles, his amusement faltering when he meets Klaus' gaze. "She does that after every time she eats."
"Why?"
"We're.. vegetarians," he tells him. "We only drink animal blood."
Klaus' lips purse before he shrugs. "So that's why the golden eyes and not red."
"Exactly."
Celeste reappears, tackling Jasper onto his bed and straddling his waist. Esme's tinkling laugh makes Klaus crack a smile, but then he's sighing in exasperation when Celeste slants her mouth across her mate's.
"Really, Celeste? Where are your manners, sweetheart. Do not ravage your mate when there's an audience."
Celeste perks up, looking over her shoulder and Jasper laughs from beneath her. She launches herself at Klaus then, giving Jasper a chance to sit up and watch as she comes alive before his very eyes. And after their brief reunion is over, Carlisle escorts Klaus downstairs while Jasper and Celeste have a moment to themselves.
Standing chest to chest, Jasper carefully cradles Celeste's face in his hands as he stares down at her. "Never scare me like that again."
"I'll do my best. Werewolf venom is a pain in the ass and I'd like to not experience that ever again."
He grins weakly, letting his forehead rests against hers. "You're gonna be the death of me."
"Probably." Celeste huffs a laugh, quickly pecking his lips after. "But not for a long while. I got plans for you, Whitlock. Plans that I intend to repeat over and over and over.."
As she speaks, the veins beneath her eyes slither to the surface and her eyes turn red. Jasper smirks. "I'm lookin' forward to 'em, darlin'."
