"Wow, you look beautiful . I'm speechless at how beautiful you are." Seo Jun stuttering. Jasmine smiles up at him her eyes twinkling.
"Thank you , you are very handsome as well. Aunt Selene did an amazing job on our wedding clothes. I'm not sure why father asked us to talk before he would join us." Jasmine sits on the chair close by.
"I know why, he wants us to be certain. We have only known each other three days. He came to my room this morning and gave me a gift. ." Seo Jun shows Jasmine the pendant that the father gave him.
"It is so that no one will know that my pearl is changing. My only worry is that if I take my real pearl off . I will lose what power I have ,and not be able to sense you. What if something happens to you,and it's my fault." Seo Jun takes Jasmine's hand in his.
"It won't be your fault. You know Aria is married to my fathers uncle. Once they were connected no matter the distance they were always together. They have a physic link,all of my family does . I don't because I have no gifts but they all say the same thing. That love is the thread that binds the heart and the heart over rules the mind. None of them have any special objects that connected them. Their hearts connected them. We connected before we met yes because I touched the shard,but we are connected now. I believe that once we are joined that we will always know when one of us needs the other." Jasmine lifts Seo Jun's hand to her lips giving him a soft kiss . Instant desire rises in Seo Jun at her touch. Placing his hand on the back of her neck Seo Jun pulls Jasmine's face close to his. Slowly his mouth covers hers in a soft kiss. Jasmine immediately opens her mouth to his allowing his tongue to mate with hers. Seo Jun lifts Jasmine from her chair placing her in his lap. His hand finds it way into her dress cupping her soft full breast. Jasmine moans with wanting as she feels his maleness harden. Pulling away from Seo Jun Jasmine tries to put some distance between them. Seo Jun lays her head on his shoulder.
"Wow ,that was some first kiss." Jasmine whispers in Seo Jun's ear before kissing his neck just below it.
"What do you mean?" Seo Jun asks Jasmine.
"I have never kissed anyone before outside of on the cheek." Jasmine replies.
"You mean I am your first, there have been no others?" Seo Jun looks down at Jasmine in disbelief.
"I'm sure as old as you are that you have kissed many beautiful women. I know that it is a rarity in todays world. I just never had anyone I wanted to kiss. " Jasmine sighs she can sense something is troubling him.
"Seo Jun what is troubling you? I can sense that it is not your father so what is it?" Jasmine asks.
"I am for the most part immortal. I can be killed but I have already lived for longer than your father. You are not immortal what is to happen when the time comes for me to say goodbye?" Seo Jun looks sheepishly at Jasmine.
"My father is immortal and my mother is not. Uzil is immortal and my grandmother is not. It doesn't matter to me , both my father and grandfather have chosen to age with their mates. That way to the outsiders they look normal. Papa Uzil has loved my great grandmother for close to a century. Most of which they were separated. Death is a part of my destiny. I cannot avoid it. I only hope we can fill our lives with many children and loving memories. That way even after I go to my afterlife ;you will still have a part of me living in our descendants. You will still be surrounded by love. The connection we share is a bond that cannot be broken. I now know why Father wanted us to talk. He wanted us to voice our fears before we are bound. Once bound it cannot be undone. I cannot say how long I will live but I can promise you that the time we have together will not be boring. Oh I also wanted to ask you a question?" Jasmine tells Seo Jun hoping to change the subject of her dying.
"What is it ?" Seo Jun replies hoping he can answer without upsetting her.
"Do you remember a small child Chloe?" Jasmine asks watching his reaction .
"Yes she was with Selene and Inari before my pearl was destroyed. She was close with my younger brother Shin." Seo Jun looks puzzled at her question.
"Well that child was a nine tail and my dad's sister. When she sacrificed her life to save another,father melded her soul with Luxe's. Luxe has all of her memories and abilities. It seems she remembers you and was frightened when she saw you. So can I ask you to be patient with my sister. Chloe's emotions are mixed in with hers. So if she seems like she doesn't like you or is frightened around you. Please don't get angry or hurt by it." Jasmine's eyes tear up at the thought of what Luxe is dealing with.
"For you I can handle anything that comes. So are we ready to get this joining over so we can finish what we started. " Seo Jun looks at his watch they still have time before the others will interrupt. Smiling mischievously his head lowers to take her lips once more.
"I think you guys should wait till after the joining. I do not think father would be happy you are boinking my sister in the garden." A teasing voice interrupts the couple. Seo Jun looks up and see a man that looks the spitting image of Kitori but with black hair.
Jasmine jumps off Seo Jun's lap .
"Kit you made it. I thought only celestials and Luxe was coming." Jasmine hugs the man tightly. Turning to Seo Jun ,Jsdmine drags the man to his side.
"Seo Jun this is my twin Kitori. He has been in South America for school. " Jasmine smiles at Seo Jun hoping he is not upset at the intrusion.
Seo Jun stands and shakes Kitori's hand.
"It is nice to meet you." Seo Jun answers.
"Just be lucky that the cousins are not allowed here. Alex and William would have a field day teasing you guys. Then again it may be the smartest move mom has made. Making today only us and celestials. Those two always seem to make a ruckus. You would think they were teenagers instead of nearly forty . I know Aunt Remi had hoped that Alex would grow out of his mischievousness when he married. Now I on the other hand get to torment the two of you all by myself. So little sis what did you do fall into bed with him the second you met him?" Kitori teases Jasmine not expecting what was to happen next. Seo Jun lets out a growl his hand shifting into a scaly dragon claw . He knocks his soon to be brother in law against the wall of the house. Inside the house all anyone hears is a loud thud. The father stands and smiles.
"Well I see Kit has arrived and already has made a ruckus let's get this show started." Walking out of the house they see kit laying on the ground rubbing his jaw. Lilli chuckles and goes to help her son.
"So you couldn't behave yourself for even five minutes." Lilli hugs kit as they walk back to the wedding site.
"How could you hit my brother? He was just teasing." Jasmine yells at Seo Jun his hand still in dragon form.
"He was not teasing he was disrespectful and vulgar. How can he even say something like that." Seo Jun clutches his teeth together trying to calm down.
"I have my answer now let's begin the ceremony." The father interrupts the arguing couple. Seo Jun and Jasmine turn looking at the father stunned.
"I wanted to give you two time to talk out your fears and differences. I felt like you needed something or someone to push a few buttons. If Seo Jun had not reacted to kits teasing ;then he is not a man that can protect you. He is right kit had no business saying those things. He was right to defend you. You are just upset because kit is your brother and you are used to his teasing. Now Kit apologize to your sister so we can get her joined. As for everyone else take the spots that I have placed your symbols at. " the father instructed as he goes to take his spot beneath the arch. Kit sheepishly walks over and hugs Jasmine.
"I'm sorry, I should not have asked that question. I was expecting you to get flustered and red. You know I like arguing with you, it's our thing. I wasn't expecting him to get angry, man bro you got a lot of strength. Don't you know my sisters are at their prettiest when they are angry. You just wait till you see her eyes flash." Kit puts out his hand for Seo Jun to accept his apology.
"I don't care who you are, no one will say such things to her or about her. I took it easy on you because you are her brother. Be warned you can tease and play but you will not disrespect my mate ever again. Next time I will not hold back." Seo Jun growls at Kit his eyes changing to dragon form to scare him.
"That is enough you two can have a pissing contest later. Right now you are making us all wait while you measure your manhoods. Kit get to your seat or you can go back to where you came from. Seo Jun stop with the glaring and let's get joined." Jasmine yells at the two of them smacking both in the back of the head. Kit rubs his head and glared at his sister.
"What is it women that they are always smacking men in the head?" Kit mutters as he walks to his place beside Luxe.
