A/N: ROBSBABY Thanks for being patient with me and listening to me ramble. Thanks for encouraging me to post this and share. LOL

I didn't expect the response I got on either of my stories. You ladies have totally blown me away. I normally don't allow anyone to read my writing but my daughter and my two best friends. I'm touched by all the responses I've gotten. This is a sort of filler chapter, bare with me, the fun is about ot start.

CHAPTER 2

FALLING FOR YOU

I sat at the table eating quietly when the scary pixie bounced into the room followed by my Mother. I smiled as Mom took away my plate and returned. "Hi Bell, I'm Alice. I'm going to do your wedding for you. Now, we are going to try on your dress that way if we need to make adjustments we can get that done now. Come on." She led me from the balcony into the room. She and my mother opened the bag and I stood still while Mom and Alice slid the gown onto me. I waited patiently until the gown was in place and then she turned me to the mirrors. I gasped at it's perfection. "Well?"

"I love it, thank you so much Alice." I looked at Mom who was crying.

"You're beautiful." Momma sighed. "I'm just so worried about all of this Bella."

"Momma, don't worry. I understand and believe it or not I was frightened earlier but now, I'm fine. Please Momma, don't worry so much." I smiled at her as Jasper opened the door and Mom and Alice both flipped.

"Jasper Whitlock you get out of here right now. You are not suppose to see her in this dress until the wedding!" Alice screeched.

"Alice, get her out of it then." Jasper walked by me headed for a door I hadn't noticed before. "Make it quick." Again the door opened as Alice was unzipping my dress once again.

"Peter, I swear I'm going to have Charlotte kick your ass."

"Peter, get out of my room with my mate changing in there?"

"Love the dress sweet heart." Peter chuckled walking through to the door Jasper had gone through. I slipped the dress off quickly and Mom handed me my robe. I slipped it on and then sat down on the couch as they packed the dress back into the dress bag. Once Alice had left I yawned and curled up looking up at Mom.

"So where do we start?"

"Well, being as I have to find a replacement for me, I think that would be the ideal place.."

"Bella, come to me." Jasper called. I stood slowly and made my way across the room feeling as if I had been up for a week. I walked into to find him sitting at a desk with Peter across from him. I walked over and without even thinking about it went straight to him sitting in his lap and curling up. He shifted me and tucked my robe more tightly around me as I shivered slightly. I yawned as I placed my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. "Peter, I think we're going to forgo this discussion for now. Let me get her into bed and to sleep and I'll meet you in my office. She's obviously to tired to deal with anything else today.

"You got it Brother." He stood up as Jasper stood holding me. He carried me into the room and placed me gently on the bed. I slid up against the headboard as Peter gently closed the bedroom door behind him. Jasper moved the blankets and turned from the bed. I expected him to shut the light off and leave the room after all vampires don't sleep. To my shock, he didn't. He undressed and slid naked into the bed next to me. I started to get up and get a night gown but decided to just discard my robe. I lay down and slid closer to him. He smiled as he flipped the light off then gently kissed me goodnight. I snuggled into the bed against him and closed my eyes letting sleep take me.

Sometime during the night I became aware of his absence but when I woke he was once again next to me. I stretched and sighed as there was a knock on the door. "I guess that means my rest time is over." I smiled at Jasper and kissed his lips shocking us both. "Ugh." He raised his eyebrows at me. "Come In." I called as my sister opened the door and carried my tray in.

Jasper slid from the bed and reached for his jeans. I noticed he was a little hard and he was massive. Instead of frightening me, it actually turned me on. He smirked as he looked at me tucking himself away into his jeans. "Careful my mate, that lust is not helping my resolve to not touch you before our wedding night." My sister was staring at his body and I wanted to wrap myself around him and dare her to touch him. He saw my scowl and chuckled. I slid from the bed naked and my sister gasped. He growled as he slapped me on the ass as I want to the closet. "Tease." He winked as I looked at him.

"Tease would imply that I am not intending to let you touch or touch you. If you don't stop staring at my soon to be husband I may choke you Brianna." I looked at her. With that Jasper full out laughed.

"Sorry." Brianna huffed. "Mom will be up.." She was cut off by a ruckus outside the doors. I looked to Jasper as he growled. Instantly he was at the door and all but ripped it off the hinges. Two humans I had noticed the day before were there and Tasha who was being a bitch and causing a drama as she demanded to see my mate.

"What is the problem?" Jasper boomed as I slipped into jeans and a pair of my jeans opting to snag one of Jasper's shirts to wear. I carefully tied it so that it was out of my way leaving the buttons at the top open just enough to tease him with a view of my cleavage.

"I requested to see you and they refused to allow it." Tasha glared at me. "I think you have made a mistake Major, you really don't want that skank..." Jasper growled.

"You have no business with me. IF there is something that you have to say that requires attention you will take it up with my wife to be. If she feels that my attention is warranted she will come to me and I will take care of the situation if need be. Now that said if you intended to call my wife that, I promise you it will be the last words to leave your unworthy mouth. Peter chooses to use you, don't mistake your importance in my home." I walked to him and as if reflex he put his arm around me. "If you require her attention, you will wait until she has eaten and is in her office. Our private quarters are off limits to everyone other than her Mother, Father, Sister, and my second in command. All others will use only our offices. Do I make myself clear human?"

"I won't go to her for anything." She snapped.

"Peter." I heard Jasper's annoyance. Peter was in front of us almost instantly. "Deal with you damn human, either keep her in check or kill her. She's pissing me off. If she disrespects my wife again I'll kill her myself." Jasper growled at him.

"Hmm, just about done with her anyway. I'll take care of her." He smirked.

"Come my mate, I'll show you to your office. Brianna, will you bring the tray with us please. Allisandra will be your personal assistant and maid." Jasper took my hand leading me down the hall way to an office across the hall from his. It was adorable with all the pretty frilly decorations. He turned me pulling me into his arms as I looked up into his eyes. "I'll be right across the hall if you need me all you have to do is call for me. I'll leave my door as well as yours open so I can see you. I find I have this dislike of not having you in my sight." He placed a tender kiss on my lips as I wiggled myself closer to him. He growled as the movement as I felt his manhood against my belly. I smiled up at him and licked my lips to speak as my sister came in. He had me pinned against the desk. "Don't worry my mate, in time no room in the house will be off limits for the two of us to play in." As he sat me on the desk I wrapped my legs around his waste and he growled rocking into me. My sister coughed and he looked up before smirking at me and was gone.

"I see you are getting cozy with Major Whitlock." She smiled at me.

"It's sort of weird. I figured I'm be afraid of him but I feel this draw to him. Like I'm suppose to be here with him." I smiled. "I am a little nervous about how the whole matting thing will go but at the same time I'm not. He's so...gentle with me." I smiled at her.

"It won't always be that way. I've seen some of them in action and it is not pretty. Rumor is the Major is even more aggressive." Mom walked in.

"Okay little one, here we go, this is the list of the staff." Mom put the papers down and indicated I sit. "I recommend you talk with Sue, I think she will be an adequate replacement for me since your major isn't willing to allow me to continue in my current position."

"Momma, you have worked so hard for so long. Enjoy your leisure time now. You deserve it." Brianna sat across the desk from me next to Momma.

"I agree Mom. It's time for you to rest now." I smiled at her. We spent the next several hours with Momma explaining to me the way things worked and what Jasper would expect from each of the different staffs. I was blown away by it all and worried that I would let him down. I didn't know how I was going to keep all this straight.

Jasper interrupted us four hours in. "Excuse me ladies but I think I need to talk with my mate. If you will both excuse us. Marissa, Charlie has already been shown to your new wing. If you will find Peter he will point you that way. Brianna, please wait for me in my study. Close the door please." He came around the desk and sat down directly in front of me rolling my chair back a little. "What has you worried?"

"I don't know if I can do this Jasper. There is so much to remember and keep track of." I sighed. "What if I let you down?"

"Bella, you have heads of each sector that will take care of what needs to be done, the only thing you have to be concerned with is when you meet with them each day you make sure that each head has the list of things to be done for the day. They will report any problems to you and if an issue occurs which requires disciplinary action, you will handle it accordingly. As I said Peter and I will teach you. You can always come to me with any questions you may have. You won't let me down. I think you have had enough stress for the day. I would like to introduce you to the rest of my family today if you have no objections."

"Your family?" I looked at him confused.

"Yes." He smiled as he moved to stand behind me as they all entered. Once they were all seated he proceeded. "This is my two sisters Rosalie and Alice, whom you have met. Rose's mate Emmett, Alice's mate Edward." He pointed each out as he spoke. "This is our parents for all intent and purposes Esme and Carlisle who is also a doctor. This everyone is Bella." I was taken back by the reception I received. I liked each of them. By the end of the day I was exhausted.

Once again Jackson took me to the hot tub and we sat there relaxing in the hot tub and talking about the day until I began to doze off. I was vaguely aware of being carried from the bathroom to the bed. I snuggled into the covers and when Jasper slid into bed snuggled closer to him. I heard him chuckled then his purr begin and I sighed happily.

There was a knock on the door that disturbed me from my sleep then through the haze I was aware of Peter speaking. Jasper slid from the bed as I turned over. He bent and covered me up tucking the blanket back into place when it slipped. His lips brushed mine as he held his hand up to silence Peter. "I have something I have to take care of my mate. I will be back as soon as I can. Sleep and when you wake, your Mother and two of my best guards will be for your needs and safety. I will return to you as soon as possible." Jasper was pulling on his jeans as I shot up in the bed.

"You're leaving?"

"Only for a short time my mate. No need to fear."

"Jasper." I slid from the bed in a panic totally forgetting Peter was in the room and I was very much naked. Peter turned his back quickly as Jasper growled and handed me my robe. "We get married in two days now."

"I will be back in plenty of time my mate. You should go back to sleep."

"I don't know if I can without you here with me." I sighed. "Please, can't Peter and the others handle this?"

"No Bella, if I don't go, the other coven will see it as weakness and may attack us. I won't have you in danger that way. I will be back as soon as I can my mate. Do not be concerned." He kissed my forehead and I nodded relenting.

"May I at least walk down with you?"

"I wish you would go back to bed. You are so exhausted already." He pulled me to his chest and kissed the top of my head. "However I will not deny you if you want to see us off."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. You need to throw some clothes on and we'll go down together." He smiled at me. "Peter, make sure the others are ready to go and the bikes are all out front. I don't want her in this weather any longer than necessary." Peter nodded and left quickly as I got dressed. Once I was done, I took Jasper's arm and we headed out for him to meet those accompanying him. I was shocked to see Esme, Alice, and Rosalie standing with the other women. My mother, sister, and Dad stood on the other side of the hall way and vampire after vampire filed from the house. I walked all the way out to the steps with Jasper. He stopped on the steps and pulled me to him kissing me gently. "I'll hurry back my mate. Take care of yourself while I am away." I nodded blinking back my tears. With one final kiss he turned and walked to his bike as the bikes all around him roared to life. I didn't realize I was crying until Esme wrapped me in her arms.

"It's okay honey, I know it's hard. It never gets easier knowing they are going to be away. Come on, let's get you back in bed." She turned me away as they moved forward out of the court yard. I let her lead me back to bed and cried myself to sleep with her sitting on the edge of my bed with my mother at her side.

The next two days were a freaking night mare. I couldn't concentrate and I was in a foul mood. No word from Jasper made me antsy as hell. Brianna tried to be patient with me but I knew I was driving everyone nuts. At one point I even snapped at Momma. I went through the daily routines as was expected but what I really wanted to do was tell them all to get the fuck out. When the head maid in the kitchen came to me with an issue with one of the others I wasn't sure how to handle it. That is until I walked down there and found her talking to Tasha and a few other girls about how undeserving of the master I was. That was the last straw. I blew up terrifying everyone in the kitchens including my Mother. I turned to walk out and ran smack into Jasper's chest. His eyes were pitch black and I could feel his rage. I stepped back figuring I was in for it. I couldn't have been more wrong. He looked down and I averted my eyes. He grabbed my chin and tipped my face up to look into my eyes.

"Go to our room. I'll be there shortly." He spoke softly and I nodded and went quickly upstairs closing the door gently. I was only there a few moments before he stormed into the room. I could still feel his anger pouring off of him.

"Jasper, I'm sorry." He shook his head silencing me. He walked to the balcony doors and pushed them open going out to stand at the railing. I sat on the seat at the foot of the bed waiting for him to speak. I wanted nothing more than to go to him and wrap my arms around him and bury my self in his chest. He was home and suddenly I felt safe and at ease again even though I knew he was angry with me.

"Come." I called softly as a knock sounded on the door.

"Bella, I need to get you ready for the ceremony." Alice spoke softly as she entered and I looked at her shocked. I had totally forgotten that tonight I was to become Mrs Jasper Whitlock. Wife to the most feared vampire in the region. The one everyone called the Reaper. "I need you to come with me."

"No." Jasper spoke from the balcony. "We won't be getting married tonight." I gasped softly and tried to hide my tears.

"Bella, why don't you go take a bath and let me talk to my pig headed brother a moment." I didn't speak only left the room quickly climbing into the shower instead of the hot tub just as I had every night since Jasper left. I let the water run over me and cascade down my body taking my tears with it. He didn't want me.

JASPER'S POV

I went looking for Bella as soon as we had arrived. I had been distracted and on edge since we had left. When I found her she was in a rage in the kitchen and hearing what those three little skanks had said threw me into a rage. Nothing registered but the anger and fury I felt. I sent Bella off to our rooms to keep her from being hurt anymore. Peter feeling my anger promised he would deal with the issue personally and nothing of this nature would happen again. I looked at him with pure rage. "Kill her now. If I see her again, I will end her life myself. Are we understood?"

"Exactly what I had intended Major. Go be with your mate." I left Peter with the intention of doing just that but when I saw her tear stained face I knew I would not be able to control my rage. I had to distance myself and get me under control before I hurt her on accident. When Alice came to prepare her for our marriage I made a snap decision. I couldn't be with her tonight in this state. Not without being to aggressive and hurting her and I would not go to another on our wedding night.

When Alice sent Bella to the bathroom to bathe I was relieved and angry at once. I didn't want to be away from her but I was close to snapping. As soon as she was in the shower, which I found odd, Alice ripped into me. "What the hell do you mean you are not marrying her? Jasper Whitlock if you don't get your ass in there and get ready I swear to all that is Holy I will rip your ass apart then put you back together so Rose can rip you apart. Then I'm going to have Esme hide each and every piece of your ass on a different continent for the next 10 years!"

"I won't fucking hurt her Alice! If I marry her, I will claim her. I can't claim her without injuring her. I won't go to another bitch on our wedding night. I won't betray her that way." I yelled at her.

"Wait, so you aren't backing out of the wedding?"

"No, absolutely not. I just don't want to do it in this state. I need to deal with my rage and my aggression without putting her in harms way." Before I could say anything else Edward and Carlisle came barreling into the room. Edward came at me and Carlisle went straight for the bathroom. Alice's eyes widened and she gasped. "What the fuck?"

"She's hurt herself Jasper." Alice Whispered and I went into panic mode.

"She hurt herself? Deliberately?" I yelled as Edward locked me in his iron hold and Emmett came out of no where to help. Peter was there moments later.

"No." Alice shook her head. "It was an accident. She was crying and slipped, she busted her head open. She thinks you don't want to marry her."

"Damn it, let me go!" I snapped at the three keeping me from Bella. They didn't release me and I was becoming pissed. "She's hurt and upset, let me go to her."

"Jasper calm down. Let Carlisle treat her." Peter tried to get through to me.

The three of them wrestled me from the room as I fought to get to Bella. I didn't want to hurt them but I was about to dismember them all. Before I realized where I was they had me in the chamber where they brought both human and vampire women to take care of our carnal needs. I looked at Peter. "Fuck no."

"Jasper, you need to get yourself under control. Take one of them. This way you get your aggression out. You will marry Bella tonight. It's her birthday, don't hurt her this way." Peter yelled at me.

"FUCK!" I screamed. "I promised her Peter. I promised I'd never take another without her knowledge. How do I fix this?" I asked softer now. I had hurt her so much already without realizing it.

"I'll go to her and explain while you take care of business. Then you're going to get your ass dressed and marry that little thing in there and have a great wedding night." Peter glared at me. "Fuck with me Major, I may not be able to take you but you'll damn well know I kicked the fuck out of you."

"I won't do it without her consent." I snapped.

"Fine, Emmett, go find a vampire willing to let Jasper got at her. I'll talk to Bella." Peter hissed. "You fucking stay put or so help me God you won't have a dick to mate with anyone." He pointed at me and I growled. "Growl at me. Piss me off some more you dumb fuck." He yelled before storming from the room.

I paced like a caged animal certain Peter meant every word he said. I knew he had developed a soft spot for Bella instantly and I knew my Captain well enough to know he was serious he'd rip me a new ass hole if I hurt her anymore. I couldn't believe I had let myself get this far out of control. I glared at Emmett 20 minutes later as he led the two in that I used frequently to release pent up aggression. They knew it was animalistic only and there were no ties. Both were sadistic enough to enjoy what the animal in me did to them when I was out of control. I growled at both Emmett and Edward as they smirked at me. Emmett pointed up towards the glass room that I had taken Bella to on her arrival that over looked this chamber. Peter stood behind her chair where she was seated. Carlisle at her side. Peter nodded to me letting me know she knew and understood and consented to what was about to transpire.

Edward and Emmett both left as the taller female walked over scratching me to provoke me. I locked eyes with Bella and she closed her eyes and nodded releasing the animal within. I turned and pounced on both females taking them both on until they submitted and allowed the beast in me to claim them viciously. I don't know how much Bella saw, when I returned to me, she was no longer there.
