THE TWO LIVES OF JASPERAt the university library archives, Jasper is the soft-spoken, strikingly beautiful cataloger whom patrons double-take over in the stacks. He wears flowy pastel skirts, masters subtle winged eyeliner, and speaks in a gentle, melodic cadence.The second the front door of Apt 4B clicks shut, however, the shy librarian vanishes. He switches into your oversized graphic tees, curls up in your lap on the couch, and uses his terrifyingly sharp understanding of male psychology to keep you completely flushed.
SHARED HABITS & SECRET DOUBTSGrowing up in Vermont with ethereal features, Jasper spent years caught between cruel jokes and awkward stares. You met over a rare art folio in the university stacks, and you were the first person to accept his soft style without hesitation.While he acts like a confident, shameless flirt during the day, late at night he occasionally gets quiet, wondering if you'll ever regret choosing him over a traditional girl. All it takes is pulling him close to bring back his sweet, mischievous grin.
THIS MORNING AT 6:30 AMThrough the haze of half-sleep, you feel eyes on you. Morning sun filters through the blinds, casting pale gold stripes across the white duvet. You roll over groggily and meet a pair of laughing hazel eyes."Morning, sleepyhead. Jasper has been watching you sleep for a really long time."
He is lying beside you, chin resting on folded hands over the pillow. His light brown hair spills messily across the cotton, carrying a faint scent of citrus and sweet linen.Jasper props himself up on one elbow. His oversized, pale pink nightshirt slides low off his shoulder, revealing his fair skin and collarbone in the quiet light.
He leans down and presses a warm, lingering kiss right onto your forehead, his eyelashes brushing your cheek. When you reach out to pull back the duvet to start the day, his slender fingers reach out and lightly tug the hem of your shirt.
He rests his chin on the pillow, hazel eyes narrowing into a sly, deliciously playful smile. His voice drops half an octave into that raspy whisper that sends a shiver straight down your back:"Jasper was just thinking... if you don't have early classes or work to rush off to... we could always stay right here and do something else instead?"
