Mason blinked at Jacks question and shifted again, feeling ever so slightly awkward at having to explain himself. There were certain reasons Mason still needed reassurance from time to time, none of which he wanted to bring up again so he shrugged his shoulders and dropped his gaze.
“I dunno, I guess… after everything we’ve been through and everything we still put each other through… I just feel that sometimes we’re running in opposite directions and neither of us are prepared to reason or meet half way… and… it makes me worry. Then I start getting annoyed when we argue and you have to go off to see the pack or Kailah or someone when I’m trying to get something across to you. Sometimes it just feels like you’d rather be with anyone else rather than have to put up with me.”

He glanced around the small meadow they were in, his eyes searching the trees as though looking for something. The clouds above them were darkening rapidly and Mason shuffled closer to Jack.
“I’m sorry… I’m talking too much again…” He mumbled and turned back to Jack, his hand moving up to his lips so he could chew on his sleeve yet again. “I know you love me and… I know I love you… and therefore I shouldn’t have anything to worry about but sometimes I just need reminding. Scratch that, a lot of the time I need reminding. I just don’t want to lose you.”

He honestly didn't know that this was all going inside of Mason while they dated. No wonder they had to many arguments and disagreements on everything. It took alot of patience in being with Mason, he knew that and did have the patience, but there was only so much that Jack could take of how needy, jealous and controlling Mason was towards him. Sure, it made him feel nice that Mason wanted him that much and loved him, but he was doing it in the wrong way.

I always want to be with you Mason......if you need to be reminded that I love you then fine but don't do it in the way you have been. He said.

He held Mason tighter and kissed his hair. I promise to take you more seriously, I am sorry that I didn't before I should have.....but you are very cute when you get mad.... He said.

Mason felt his eyes stinging as he nodded his head to Jacks request, his heart being on the brink of overflowing and causing him to cry again. There was nothing he wanted more than to make things work with him, even if that meant changing his ways to stop his needy outbursts. It wasn’t like he meant to throw tantrums and act like a kid; he just wanted to be heard and sometimes listening was a hard thing to get Jack to do.

He pulled his sleeve away from his mouth and wrapped his arms around Jack once more, leaning in to the man’s kiss with a small sigh. He wished they could talk things over like this, the way they were now, all the time.
On hearing Jacks words, the witch pouted and huffed but held back on any cocky remarks he had to throw back. He then smiled instead, a small smile but it was the first time he’d smiled after someone had called him cute.
“I guess we have a deal then… yeah?” He asked quietly, his voice barely a whisper as he leant his head against Jack’s shoulder and hid his face in the man’s hair. “I’ll stop being a melodramatic drama queen and you’ll start listening more and taking me seriously when I need you to? I promise things will be different this time.”

He smiled at the little compromised that the two had come up with. He was happy that he was somewhat moving ahead now with Mason. He wanted to be with Mason and only Mason, there really wasn't anyone out there that caught his eye like the fiery witch had. He smiled some at the other and kissed his cheek once more.

I promised to....I love you. He said softly and turned the other around in his lap so that Mason was straddling his waist. He missed being this close to the other and couldn't help but to lay his head underneath the witches chin and closed his eyes. I love you.... He said.

Mason smiled in satisfaction at hearing Jacks words. That was all he ever needed to hear to keep him happy. He squeezed his arms around Jack for a moment before pulling away slightly and looking at Jack intensely. He moved his arm from around the man and placed the back of his fingers against the others cheek, tracing his fingers across the slight stubble that always made him giggle when it accidentally tickled him.

“And I love you Jack… You make me happier than I ever imagined I could be. I’m sorry I show it in the wrong ways sometimes but that’s gonna change.” He leant forwards and brought Jacks lips to meet his own, lingering on them for a moment and taking in the sweet taste he always craved before pulling away again with a slight blush. “Umm… Jack? Will you stay with me tonight?” he asked quietly, his eyes still holding Jacks gaze with anticipation. “Please?”

He smiled and couldn't help but to lean into the others touch, eyes closed as he enjoyed Mason's touch. He looked up at the other, smiling at the promised and prayed that Mason would keep the promise. He kissed the other back, deepening it slightly till it was broken and he just smirked some at Mason's request. I would love you.....you want to go back to my place.....or maybe go to yours.....only if Amanda isn't there I want to be alone with you. He requested.

He ran his thumb over the others cheek, enjoying the softness. Mason didn't have any stubble or anything like he had, he was so fresh faced. His other hand ran down Mason's side, not helping himself as his fingers made there way up his shirt to feel the warmth and softness that was Mason's skin.

Mason leant in to Jack’s touch, the small smile that creased his lips widening some when the man agreed to his small request. He thought about the choices he had now, only one of them being the one he wanted to choose though. “I miss being at your place…” he started, having to put what he was trying to say on hold as he squirmed yet again under Jack’s touch to his side and almost squealed as the icy breeze caught his skin. He felt his cheeks brighten and quickly buried his head back into Jacks shoulder as he started to giggle.

“Amanda will more than likely be at her place… we can go to mine if you want but I’d much prefer to be at yours.”
He wasn’t sure if his siblings would be in so even with Amanda not being there anymore, it still meant that there was a chance of someone lurking in the old, Victorian style house. It had also been true what he had said, he had missed Jack’s apartment very much.
Pulling himself away now, he jumped back to his feet and ran his hands across the creases on his top before grinning down at Jack with his hands offered out.

He smiled once Mason jumped to his feet and decided that they would just go back to his place. Actually I bought a small house on the outskirts of Bitter Springs, so we can go back there. He said and stood up now. He took Mason's hand in his and lead the other to the small house he had bought. It was a cute little house, made of brick and was two bedrooms. Kailah was with Amanda's parents, so he would have the whole house to himself.

He unlocked the front door, letting Mason in first. It was kept very clean, course there were a few of Kailah's toys around on the floor that he didn't pick up but overall it was very clean. He closed and locked the door, taking off his shoes and wrapped his arms around Mason from behind, pulling the much smaller boy closer and kissed his neck.

Mason was the slightest bit surprised to hear that Jack had bought himself a new place. He’d always imagined the man living in the same place for most of his life but as certain events had unfolded, it did only make sense that Jack found somewhere suitable for both him and Kailah whilst the cabin was in the process of getting fixed. The apartment hadn’t exactly been spacious nor child proof but then again, none of them where unless you went that extra mile to pay out for upgrades but by that point and at that price, you may as well have bought a house.
He hadn’t seen Amanda for a couple of days now so had literally no idea how the cabin was coming along. He knew that in some ways, the witch would make it even better than it was before but that still held no valid reasoning for what he had done to it in the first place.

Feeling rather sheepish about it, he allowed Jack to take his hand and lead him the way. he hoped that Jack had found himself somewhere little closer so that he didn’t have to walk so far in the bitterly winds whenever he decided last thing at night or first thing in the morning that he wanted to see Jack. Surprisingly, it didn’t take them long to reach the little house which left Mason staring at it in awe for at least a minute whilst Jack got the door open. It was nothing like he’d imagined Jack to buy but definetly something he could imagine Kailah falling in love with as she grew older.

Once inside, Mason took extra care to step over the odd toys left lying about, a small smile across his face as he took in all of the little things he had missed so much. His eyes looked around the room they stood in cautiously, taking in every bit of detail and finding it was all very much to his liking. When he felt Jacks arms wrap around him and pull him closer, the smallest of the two chuckled and wrapped his fingers around the man’s arms and clutched to them, standing on his tiptoes to feel Jack’s lips press harder against his neck.
He sighed and squirmed where he stood until he’d managed to turn around and face Jack, his own arms now wrapping around Jack as his hands wondered underneath the others top and trailed icy fingers across the man’s back.
“I have no idea how I managed to push you away and last that long without you… T-This time…I-I’m keeping hold of you and nothing in this world could ever force me let you go again…”

He lent forwards on his toes again to reach Jacks lips with his own, keeping them there maybe a little longer than necessary but he had to make sure Jack knew how much he meant. His hands idly made their way around to Jacks front when he lay his palms against the man’s chest and felt it rise and fall under each breath before his fingers started to play innocently along the hem at the bottom of the man’s shirt.

He sigh softly at the feeling of the others fingers going up his shirt and across his pack. He looked down at Mason with a small smile before leaning forward and kissed the other back, letting his own hands wonder up the others top and traced the outline of Mason's shapely sides and back. Well I hope not....but how about we stop talking as much and show each other how we feel. He said softly.

He pulled away from Mason, taking the others hand and headed to his room, shutting the door behind him. He walked over to the bed, sitting down and pulled Mason to straddle his waist. A lustful smirk had curved his handsome face and leaned forward to pepper the soft skin with light kisses.

Mason let out a small gasp as Jack’s fingers trailed against his body sending a light shiver throughout his body. He had missed the closeness and comfort he felt from times like these, plus the unmistakable hunger he felt towards Jack which had multiplied since thinking he would never get to do this again. His mind could barely concentrate as Jack’s words met his ears and he allowed himself to be led to the bedroom.

He waited anxiously, watching Jack close the door before following with small footsteps over to the bed. There, he allowed himself to be pulled onto Jack with another small gasp and making sure not to stumble in the process due to his legs turning to jelly. He found himself rather comfortable straddling the man’s waist, his palms resting flat against Jack’s shoulders and trying to hide the soft whimpering noises trying to escape whilst Jacks lips teased at his skin.

Without much warning, he pushed against Jacks shoulders so he had the man pinned to the bed sheets before pulling his top a little less smoothly over his head and dropping it to the floor. Turning his attention back to Jack, his fingertips found the hem of Jack’s shirt and guided it up. As he did so, he trailed his lips over the man’s body, occasionally nipping at the man’s hips and waist while letting his hands wonder where ever he pleased.

He felt himself being pushed back, looking down at Mason with lustfulled eyes and smirked. He sigh softly, leaning hi head back some with eyes closed as the sweet kisses went up and down his stomach and the nips to his hips. His hands reached down, lightly stroking Mason's hair. His other hand however started to try and take his pants off. Yeah, he was impatient when it came to Mason...he just wanted to ravished the young witch till the other would cry out his name.

You have no idea what this is doing to me..... He whispered softly.

Mason felt a small smirk crease his lips at Jack’s words and stopped what he was doing to look at the man.
“No, I know exactly what I’m doing and this is exactly what I want…” He murmured; digging his nails slightly into Jack’s sides and running them down the entire length from his shoulders to his waist. He laughed quietly and bit his lip before leaving a lingering kiss against Jack’s stomach and climbing back to his feet.

Keeping his eyes on Jack, his fingers fiddled with the buttons on his own trousers as a flustered blush rose in his cheeks. Once he had finished his fumbling, he slid his trousers off along with his trainers and socks so he was left feeling rather underdressed with a timid look across his face.
He then assisted Jack with his own trousers, taking care to not seem too needy before climbing back on to the bed and placing his body against Jack’s. As his lips met his boyfriend’s again, he couldn’t help the small quiver that rushed through his body at all the thoughts forcing their way in to his head. He tugged gently at Jack’s lips with his teeth and ran his tongue against them with a slight whine. He missed how rough Jack could be at times and this was certainally one of those times that called for it

Jack growled some and couldn't help but to grip Masons hair now in a vice like grip when the other ranked his nails down his sides. "Your going to get it and bad." He whispered soft with a smirk. He watched as Mason took his cloths off and then his own. He wrapped his arms around the other and ran his hands down Masons sides, cupping his ass and gave them a hard squeeze.

He rolled them over so Mason was on the bottom now. He smirked and started to kiss down Masons neck and chest, running his hands down the others inner thigh in a teasing way."Tell me how bad you want it....." He whispered against the others stomach and nipped at his sides.

Mason arched his back as Jack’s hands squeezed at his ass, his body pressing even harder against Jack’s as a slight whimper escaped his lips. It didn’t take much for Jack to switch positions, moving Mason onto his back with great ease and Mason willing to do whatever Jack asked of him right now anyway.
His fingers played with the man’s hair, gripping the strands between his fingers and letting out a soft moan as he felt Jack’s hands against the insides of his thighs. It didn’t take a scientist to answer the question asked but Mason certainly struggled to get his words out.
“J-Jack… please...” he whimpered, getting cut off as Jack nibbled at his sides and causing another gasp to escape his lips. He bit down on them and closed his eyes, manoeuvring his legs so they wrapped around Jack’s waist in an attempted to lift his hips closer to his boyfriend’s. “Please don’t keep me waiting…”
