Jasper POV
Bella had been angry before but this was the first time that she had struck out to piss my off in turn and boy did she piss me off. Talking with Tanya was not my favorite thing but her husband was a man that I need to know more about and women who are lonely are very easy targets. I am a handsome man and I know that I can turn on the charm so sitting at dinner I turn on my charm in her direction getting some valuable answers.
"You wife is obviously as unhappy in this marriage as you are Jasper." Tanya says as she leans close enough to breathe on my lips. I look to the chair next to me to find it empty turning my head to survey the room and I spot her. I am instantly furious and I want to rip Riley Biers limb from limb and burn his useless pieces. He and Bella are standing close enough to his he has his hand on the spot where my child lays and her hand is on top of his holding it there. She is smiling at him the way she does when she see's me that is my smile. I stand up suddenly and Tanya catches my hand.
"She is already pregnant an affair now is harmless Jasper. We can have fun I have a room here she wont even notice that you are gone." Tanya says trying to sound seductive. I pull my hand back and walk toward my wife the anger intensifying as I here what is being said.
Bella is silent the rest of the night and I know my wife well enough to know that she is so angry she has noting to say. A silent wife in my house is bad. I get three doors slammed in my face and spend 20 minutes banging on our bedroom door before I give up and go get the key. Her dress is laying in a silky blue pool on the floor alone with her bra and panties this thought make me hard as a rock and I curse her for turning me on when I am so damned angry at her. I call Alec and tell them to follow our Denali lead because it seems like to me both the don and his wife are having affairs. Stripping down to my box briefs I pull the bedspread and sheet back and climb in bed. I hear the bath start to drain and the music shut off.
I turn over and watch my wife naked as a jaybird come strutting out of the bathroom her hair covering her nipples and her round with our child. She stops and stairs at me not saying a word she walks to her side of the bed and gets the lotion from her side tables squirting some in her hands and lifts one foot on to the bed and starts to rub the lotion in. I have a perfect view of her pink pussy lips they are swollen and she looks wet. Mad or not she wants me and no matter how mad at her I am all I can think about is being inside her and showing her exactly who she belongs to. I get out of bed and walk up behind her running my hand across the back of her neck and pulling her hair away form the front of her body.
"No Jasper I am mad at you." She says in a breathy voice and moans as my lips touch under her ear.
"Are you sure that its a no Isabella I don't think that your body agrees." I say to her running my hands over her shoulders and on to full breasts and pinch both of her nipples between my first finger and thumb and she grinds her ass back into me. I kiss her neck across to her jar and then her bottom lip and I pull back dropping my hands from her breasts and back away.
"I am mad at you too Isabella." I say walking around the bed and getting in on my side.
I get in bed and have to hold in a laugh at Bella's growl of frustration. She flops into bed next to me punching her pillow she is mad at me and now sexually frustrated. I am pissed at her too I cant believe that she intentionally sought out attention from another man and let him touch her.
" Why would you ignore me for her Jasper?" Bella says and I can barely hear her voice she is speaking so quietly.
" I wasn't ignoring you, I was working Tanya is a very unhappy wife of another Don one whom which I need information on and so I saw my opportunity and took it. I was not trying to hurt you I just needed the information fro her and flirting got me that information you would have done the same thing. You on the other hand went to Riley Biers and flirted with him and let him touch you. Those things that you did were intentional you knew for a fact it would piss me off and it did I could have shot him dead where he stood. That would have been on you as it stands now he is in my warehouse he will not die this time but he or any other man will stay far away from what is mine from here on out." I tell her in a low voice as well because I will not have another man touch my wife and get away with it.
Bella's gasp is all the answer that I need she has heard me loud and clear and that is good because as the don of my family and no one will disrespect me not even the woman that owns my heart.
Bella POV
Another month of pregnancy down and my husband and I have been on the outs for a couple of weeks and now he is working more than usual and I am not in the loop. The all day sickness had subsided and the pregnancy hormones were making me so horny that I can't fucking see straight. Waking up to an empty bed makes me sad even though I know that he is working and this is life it still doesn't stop the pang of sadness that rippled through me. I need to get out of the house today Esme and Mary are insisting that we make a baby registry so that friends and family can send us gifts after the baby is born. We decided not to have a baby shower because our elders for years thought it was bad luck to buy baby things before the baby was born healthy and so no American style baby shower for baby Whitlock.
This store is almost scary in my opinion, all of the baby furniture and blankets, bottles, clothes, plug covers. Holy overwhelmed feeing batman. I am in awe walking through the store how in the hell can one tiny human use all of this stuff. Mary and Esme are chatting away as we walk through the store with the scanner discussing all the things that we need my niece asleep on her chest in a carrier that Mary has insisted that I will NEED. Four of the longest hours later and we are leaving the store on our way to grab a late lunch because I am quite so hungry I am angry at this point.
"Will you be home tonight before I am in bed?" I ask my husband on the phone instead of a hello I am tired and cranky.
" I will try things are just a little crazy right now. Are you okay?" Jasper asks sounding concerned.
"No, I am not I miss you and I know that things have been tense but I miss you and I am sorry for what happened I was a bitch about it but there is nothing to be done about it now. I love you." I tell him sighing into the phone I am tired of fighting about something that neither of us can change.
"I love you too Bella I will be home in an hour we can talk about it." Jasper says sounding just as strained as he has the last couple of weeks.
I had stopped by the store on the way home and bought the ingredients to make Jasper's favorite meal, chicken and dumplings. This is where my husband finds me an hour later when he comes through the door, in the kitchen making dumplings from scratch. He looks at me from his post in the doorway he has a sweet smile on his face when I look up and I smile back. I love him so much I really do he is such a caring generous man with me and I love that.
" I love seeing you in this kitchen looking so happy and pregnant." Jasper says as he wraps his arms around me kissing my head. I lean back into him I have missed this, us.
"Well, as chauvinistic as that sounds dear husband of mine, I have to agree I have missed cooking and baking I have to make more time for it. I went to the baby store today and I don't think I have been that overwhelmed in a long time do you know how much stuff is in one of those damned stores?" I ask my voice raising an octave at the end remembering the twenty plus aisles of thins for babies. Jasper laughs a little shaking his head.
"No darlin I cant say as I do because thus far in life I have avoided that but the next time you go I would like to go with you so we can share in the shock. Now I have an apology to make and I would like to do that. I am sorry I was an ass I didn't pay you enough attention at dinner and I paid Tanya to much and even more so sorry that I hurt you in anyway I never meant to hurt you I made a split second decision and it was obviously the wrong one. So will you please forgive me so that I can have my wife back and we can enjoy the time that it is still just us." Jasper says and I tear up because he is so damn sweet. He was right we need to get back to us so much in life is taken for granted.
"I am sorry too I was wrong as well. I should have never went to another man to make you angry and I knew that it would it was why I did it. I am ready to get back to us as well." I wrap my arms around him and press my face into his chest and breathe in his scent.
Last night was a turning point for Jasper and I, our lives were in a lull right now which for us was an oddity. Something was going on behind the scenes with Jasper and the business but I have no idea what it is but I trust him so until he is concerned for me I won't worry.
Rose and I have a spa date today and I am excited because as each day passes the larger I get. So the thought of sitting in a massage chair getting my hands and feet scrubbed, rubbed and polished sounds beautiful. Laying in a warm bath of lavender and vanilla I lay my head back on the pillow and take a deep breath as the babe inside me kicks and flips making me laugh out loud.
"You look amazing Bella I can't wait to be so round with this baby." Rose says from her matching bath next to me. I open my eyes and look at her glowing face smiling.
"You already look amazing I could tell you were pregnant. I can't wait to have this baby only 3 months and he will be here for me to hold." I say smiling at her and it is true I cannot wait to have him a warm little bundle in my arms. I am so happy for Rose and Edward I know what loosing her baby did to them. Running my hand over my swollen stomach feeling my son kicking back I know that we will do this again because my husband and I want a house full of kids and we do have 6 bedrooms to fill.
I am asleep when I here the door slam I sit straight up in the bed and reach in the side table and grab the handgun that lays in the drawer and slide out of bed. Stalking slowly toward the door and opening the door so that it doesn't creak only to see my husband stomping angrily up the stairs blood covering his bottom half.
"Oh god Jasper are you okay? You scared the hell out of me." I say putting my hand over my heart as it tries to beat out of my chest.
"Yes, baby I am fine none of this blood is mine, and I am sorry for scarring you but I am glad that you are prepared to defend you and our son."
