A/N: Thanks to 'Leo2010' for pointing out my glaring error in chap 6, Naval Captain is above Army Major, I have fixed this by slightly changing the wording of that paragraph. Lastly thanks to 'chanur' for being the 100th reviewer for this story, so this chapter is dedicated to them. By the way, the reviews are acting up again, I'll reply asap xx Alexis
It was time to get the hell out of dodge, we had a lot of plannin', logistics and just general thinkin' to do, first bein' where the hell are we settin' up headquarters. We don't want it to be where we live, but close by, we need to be able to get away, we have no intention of bein' like the Volturi and trapped by our own importance. We are going to be like an Embassy, the business transacted there and we go home at night. After much deliberation it was decided Montana, headquarters will be at my ranch and home would be at Peter's place, that way anyone who visits could feed at any nearby city and we would be livin' quite remote for me to hunt animals.
Emmett will be head of security, he's got the most computer tech knowledge and I want that place locked up tight, he tells me there is nothing he can't hack and hidden technology is his forte. Our guests will also be able to stay over once we get the place set up and renovated slightly, but unlike Volterra, they will not be waited on, hand and foot, that won't be happenin' here in the America's. I want a more relaxed feel to the whole place, no cloaks, no Volturi insignia around our necks, we will be a bit more understated. Rose offered to take on the task of running the fleet for us, Car's, bikes, helicopter and light aircraft, we plan on havin' an airstrip here too, thus short haul flights will be easier to manage.
Bella and Angela will be runnin' the business end, we need a front for us, so we're goin' to hire out the whole place four times a year to the rich and famous as a retreat. This place will be known as 'The Ranch' and come under the umbrella of 'Volturi Enterprises'. The chopper, bikes, cars, and planes are gettin' a black paint job with a 'V' in anthracite gray in relief, so it only shows dependin' on the angle you're at, well for humans, we can see it all the time. The ladies are takin' some online classes to get their degrees in business studies. We will be actin' as security when humans are in residence, just to give the place some authenticity.
We also decided that there would be no throne room type audience chamber, we're goin' to have conference rooms, small ones for day to day business and a massive one for larger groups and if the brothers arrive. The kitchen, bathrooms and toilets will be fully functional for human visitors and hell there is not a vampire out there who doesn't like to shower or soak in a hot tub anyway. So as the Volturi are footing the bill for the renovations, this was Charlotte's task nobody could match her skills in this area, she made Esme look like an amateur, all we need to do is install it all and at quadruple speed, no point in slowin' everythin' down by involvin' humans.
About three weeks into the set up Peter's gift started goin' off, he said "Major, we're about to get a visit from the 'La Push alpha, he's bringin' three other's with him also Alphas, one from Greenland, one from the Colorado part of the Rockies and the last from Newfoundland, Canada! They want to talk about similar treaties to the one we have with the Quileute!" Well, I thought our first order of business would be with vampires but so be it, it sure was a sight to behold, Sam in his huge black wolf form, two massive bears, one polar and one black and a stunnin' massive golden eagle. Basically, their grievances were the same, forced phasin' of their young men and women when we stay around too long, indiscriminate killin' in their small areas, devastatin' their population.
I was mostly concerned for the bears from Newfoundland, they were descendants of the Beothuk, who were a First Peoples group that went extinct. They stayed hidden within the bear and human communities on the island and the alpha pleaded with me to have it also made into a no-go zone for vampires, this I was happy to do. The same for the others but they had not been as devastated by our intrusion, but as each were small communities in rural areas it would be easy for us to circumvent them in our travels. So by the end of the day, we had four treaties with the First Nation, but I'm sure they will not be the last.
At the same time as we were fixin' both ranches, Bella had us all learnin' new languages, it was crazy, someone would ask a question in one, only to have the answer given in another, but it didn't take long for all of us to be proficient in all the ones needed to cover our new territories. Now it was time for me to set out for the meet and greet part of the job, but the Volturi had been in touch with all the larger covens lettin' them know the changes made and I had only to show face make nice and hand over any new rulin's, easy! Well on paper, yes, but vampires had huge ego's and I knew it would take a bit of the old Emo juice to placate some. Peter was goin' with me this trip, so I was lookin' to get some serious alone time with my sexy mate before I left.
"Okay folks, how about some mate time? Let's call it a day here and head on home!" I yelled over my shoulder as I scooped up Bella and ran towards Peter's place, she was laughin' her head off, "Jasper baby! my Major can fuck me hard and fast first! then you can make love to me, slow and easy, How does that sound?" she asked and all I could answer was a long low growl, god I loved this woman, she read me like a book. I heard Peter tellin' Garrett in the background, "Hot damn, it's gonna be a bumpy ride tonight! man" and they laughed, Emmett and Rose were givin' off waves of confusion, "The major tends to project when he's in the zone! so you best get yourselves somewhere private and prepare to have the time of your lives!" Charlotte whispered to Rose, but we all heard anyway, I didn't mind spreading the love.
We were barely through the bedroom door and I had her pinned up against the wall, grindin' into her like my life depended on it, I heard three other doors closin' and the house was almost silent except for the occasional growl or moan. Bella was nippin' and kissin' any bit of skin available to her lips, leanin' back I ripped off both our shirts and now she was growlin', it was such a sexy sound and had me strainin' against the zipper of my jeans. Above all else she loved my scars, I had always hated them, but Bella had told me "They are what prove to me, that you can protect me, you have survived against any and all obstacles thrown at you. So keeping me from harm will be easy for you, my love, my Major!" I had never realised before, where they threatened males, they drew females for that reason.
We were gettin' more and more wound up and I was just about to throw her down on the mattress when she wiggled free, ripped off the rest of her clothes, turned away from me bendin' over to grip the base of the bed and said over her shoulder "Show me, Major! Show me now how much you want me, need me, love me!" I growled loud enough to rattle the windows, ripped my own jeans off and plunged into her from behind. This was feral and wild, but all consuming too, I felt her shield cover the house and as our emotions fed each other, I heard the three couples enjoyin' the tidal wave of lust and need I was now projectin'. Bella had worked out if she enclosed us all it became so much more for me, therefore she benefitted, this was the first time Emmett and Rose had been included addin' another layer of emotion and damn Emmett was a passionate guy, his love for Rose almost equalled mine for Bella. As we reached our climax I pulled her up against my chest, lovin' the sensation of aftershocks passin' between us as we came down from our intense high.
"Fucking hell man, that was awesome! You could ensure world peace if you passed that stuff around Jasper!" Emmett yelled laughin', "Hot damn, brother!" was all Peter could say breathlessly, "Well shit!" was Garrett's only comment. Their mates just laughed and the house was reverberatin' to the sound of purrin'. I lifted Bella carefully onto the bed and slowly, calmly and reverently worshipped her body. This time it was slow, lovin', gentle and even so, it was no less intense. What I loved the most was, although Bella was new to all of this, she never held back and always made her wants and desires known, lettin' me do the same without feelin' I was pushin' her to do anythin' she was unsure about. I was drawn in my head back to yesterday.
Everyone was doin' somethin' in both houses, I was at the top of a ladder, fixin' some loose shingles, singin' along to some country song on the radio. I felt her lust and desire before she came into view, Bella loved to hear me singin' for some reason. "Hey Cowboy!" was all she said and I smiled and sent her my love and adoration, then I felt the ladder move as she climbed up the inside of it, I could feel myself hardenin' just with her bein' near me, but I sensed the mischief and knew I was in for somethin'. That's when I felt my zipper bein' pulled down and as I was goin' commando, I literally sprun' free of my confines, when her mouth engulfed me I had to grip a little tighter to the roof or we'd both fall. She gave me the most awesome blowjob I'd ever had and then just tucked me back in and shimmied back down the ladder and wandered back into the house sayin' "Bye Cowboy!".
God, she was so amazin', I sent her all my love and desire for her and she giggled, but I felt her stand a little taller and she was proud of herself, doin' somethin' for me and not expectin' anythin' in return. She is so selfless, givin' and the best thin' to have happened to me, ever. I was so different now, not so self-centred, I had a real purpose in life now and her name is Isabella Whitlock. That's my next step, to make that official, I want it all, the marriage, the ring on her finger, I want her to be mine in every possible way. I need to get that sorted when this trip is over, that woman will be my wife before this year is done, that's a promise.
"Where'd you go baby?" she whispered in my ear, "Thinkin' about you darlin', about you, me and a ladder!" I answered smilin' and she sighed contentedly as she snuggled into my side, "How long will you be away Jasper? I'm really not looking forward to this trip!" she said drawin' little nonsensical patterns on my chest. "Me neither darlin', me neither! It will be as quick as we can make it okay? I'll talk to you every night and maybe we'll get some alone time when I get back!" was all I could tell her, hell I had no idea just how long it would take, but hopefully we could cut some corners and get back sooner, I really didn't want to leave her, but some of the places we were headin' were not where you would want your mate, ever!
