Last time on FF
"Get back to the house now. We have a lot to discuss. We need to talk as soon as fuckin' possible." He said in a hurried tone.
"Trust me?" Jasper asked.
"Mostly."
Before I had the word completely out of my mouth he had picked me up bridal style and was running towards the house.
Jasper pov
The emotional roller coaster that today has been was drainin'. I couldn't complain right now though because I had Bella in my arms. Her head found the crook of my neck and she kept breathin' in my scent trying to calm herself. I walked through her door and Em, Rose, and Char were starin' at us like we were some kinda new species. I didn't want to, but knew I'd have to tell her that we were here.
"Sweets, we're back at your house. You can let go now." I told her. Her head snapped up and she glared at me.
"I swear on all that is holy if you ever, ever, just pick me up and take off running like that again I will puke on you! A little warning would have been nice asshole!" She yelled at me and I couldn't help the small smile that sprang to my lips. "You thinks its funny? We'll see how funny you think it is when your covered in my puke! Ugh!" She yelled and stomped into the kitchen. I let her go and turned to Peter.
"What was so important that you would interrupt my conversation with Isabella? It better be fuckin' good Captain." I barked out at him. He held out the papers that Seth had written on earlier in the day. I can't believe I got so distracted that I forgot about those! I read them a couple times letting the information sink in.
"Isabella, get that pretty little ass of yours back in here now. We need to talk." I told her and she came runnin' into the room.
"What is it Jasper?" She asked narrowing her eyes at me. I know the expression on my face was a hard one and she was a smart woman.
"What happened now?" She asked.
"Well thanks to Seth we now know that Sam has made a deal with Victoria." I growled out. I felt lust roll off of Bella as she heard it and internally smirked. Rose and Em hissed. Peter and Charlotte sat there in silence, no doubt trying to come up with a plan. My strong Isabella stood there with her head held high.
"What's the deal and how can we take this bitch out? I'm sick and tired of my life being threatened!" She hissed like the little kitten she is. I smirked at her.
"WE will not be doin' anything, however the vampires here will. Apparently Sam has made a deal that as long as no one in the town or La push is harmed then they can have you. Your house is now the only place in town that they will not protect anymore." I told them all even though Peter probably "Knew" all of this already.
"Well then its a damn good thing we're here huh?" Emmett boomed.
"We need to take the fight to them, not the other way around. From what Seth wrote Victoria has 7 others with her. She had more but they got out of control so she had to end them." I said to them.
"How do the wolves know all of this?" Rose asked and just as she did the front door opened and in walked Seth. He plopped down on the couch and sighed heavily. His emotional state was not good.
"We...they know all of this because Sam has insured her safe passage and for that he needed to know how many she has with them." He sighed looking tired.
"Do we need that dog house?" I asked tryin' to lighten his mood. He smiled half heartedly at me.
"Unfortunately. But I knew it was bound to happen as soon as they saw what I did." He sighed. Curiosity was comin' at me from all directions, I turned to address the rest of the room.
"Seth has done us a great service. He has been kicked out of his home and pack for what he did. I owe you, Seth and I will repay you for this someday. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask me." I said to him.
"Thanks man. I really appreciate it." He said quietly. I nodded at him.
"Will they inform Victoria that we are here and now know of her plans?" I asked.
"No, they told her she would have safe passage, anything other than that they are staying out of."
"Alright so now that we have that out of the way we can start plannin'. I'm thinkin' that we should do a little recon. We need to scout out her compound and see if the older Vampires with her are talented."
***************************Bella Pov*******************************************
I was tired of listening to war talk and was hungry so I got up and started for the kitchen but turned to Seth first.
"Hey Seth, come on I'll make you something to eat." I told him and walked to the kitchen.
"Thanks Bella." He sighed and flopped down in the kitchen chair.
"I'm really sorry this happened. I always seem to ruin peoples lives..." I shook my head. I heard the chair scrape across the floor and then felt two hot arms wrap around me and his head was rest on top of mine. I leaned back into them even though my mind was screaming at me that it felt wrong. Not wrong, just different. He feels like family. I allowed myself to be comforted by him. I couldn't be callous to him, he's just to sweet and innocent and I will admit it was nice getting a hug. I think the Vampires are breaking you down. A voice sang in the back of my mind. I straightened up and continued to get stuff to make some vegetable soup. I cooked and Seth fell asleep in the kitchen chair and when it was done I had to kick him to wake him up because the gentle nudges weren't doing shit.
After we ate my phone rang and it was my boss so I answered it immediately. We ended the call I walked into the living room to see all the vampires sitting and listening intently to Jasper. I walked right in front of him and addressed everyone, cutting him off in the process. I turned slightly and smirked at him. I liked it when he was being authoritative and it was hot when he was pissed. So I might have done it on purpose.
"Look, my boss called and needs me to go into work tonight. I just wanted to let you know." I tuned to go get ready and Jasper grabbed my hand.
"This couldn't have waited till I was done speakin'?" He asked me.
"Nope." I said popping the "P". He took a deep breath and his eyes darkened even further.
"I don't take kindly to people interruptin' me, Isabella. It'll be in your best interest to not do it again." He said and let go of my hand. I was about to say something but Peter shook his head at me, warning me. Everyone froze.
This must be the famous Major. All for us... A voice inside me purred. I could see the differences, while they weren't huge you could tell in the way he stood a bit straighter. His eyes were as black as coal, he just exuded a "don't fuck with me" vibe. It was intimidating and I really must be fucked in the head because it also excited me.
My eyes slid to the floor and my head bowed automatically. I put my hands behind my back and I'm sure I looked silly but this was what I saw I should do.
"Sorry Major. I'll just go get ready for work now." I mumbled. I felt a hand trace up my arm and lightly trail its way up to my neck. I shivered and he knew exactly why. He could feel it.
"Hmm. Very good, Isabella. I'm very proud that you knew what to do. You never have to worry about me hurtin' you but I do demand that you respect me and what you have just shown me was exactly that." He grabbed my chin and gently raised my face up to look at him and leaned in slightly.
I stayed where I was so as not to do something wrong and watched with bated breath as he kept leaning in closer and closer. I felt his nose on my collarbone and he lightly drug it up to the shell of my ear, all the while inhaling my scent. I shivered again. The sexual tension was just getting worse and worse. You couldn't cut it with a butcher knife if you tried. He pulled slightly back but brought his lips near my ear.
"You are mine, Isabella. Don't forget that." He whispered and suddenly I felt his lips on mine and I couldn't help the reaction I had.
My arms wound around his neck and one of my hands found his soft hair. It was like I had no control over my body. I moaned into his mouth. Everyone was forgotten except for him and I. It sounds so cliché but I saw fireworks. It was like my soul was being pulled into his and vice versa. A white shimmering cord was wrapping itself around us tying us together. The world shifted around us and something inside of me snapped. He is mine as I am his. I opened my mouth to him and he gently massaged my tongue with his. He pulled back slightly and gave me one more gentle kiss before letting go of me completely. I whimpered at the loss of him and lightly touched my lips. Someone cleared their throat and brought me back to reality.
"What the...fuck was that?" I asked in a bit of a daze.
"Now you see, I can't ever leave you or you me. You're stuck with me from now on darlin'." Jasper drawled.
"That, dear Bella was the matin' bond. Though I've never seen a human and Vampire mate before..." Peter trailed off.
"Wait but, I thought that Emmett said that its not strong as a human so why in the hell did I just feel like I was being tied to him? Like the world shifted?" I questioned.
"Yes well, we didn't kiss or anything. I picked him up off of the ground and took him to Carlisle. We didn't kiss until he woke up so who knows maybe that's the norm for anyone who finds their mate, human or not." Rose shrugged. Her voice full of surprise. I nodded dumbly.
Mated to the god of war? The most feared vampire? I wasn't ready for it but now...I don't have a choice. I can't even fathom not being with him. I'm so confused.
"Why did this happen now?" I asked more myself than anyone but Peter spoke up again.
"It happened because Jasper wanted it to and because he's a jealous fucker. " Peter smirked.
"Huh?" Was my brilliant response.
"Well you see when he was sniffin' ya, it wasn't for enjoyment. He smelled the pup on ya and I'm guessin' that's why he chose that moment to kiss ya. We are very possessive creatures, little bit. If we smell a male, whom we don't really know, on our mate we feel the need to stake our claim. Now usually that means we get it on like rabbits but since ya'll hadn't mated yet, Jasper decided to do it then." I looked at Jasper and he was smirking at me. I shook my head.
"I'm going to get ready for work now...I can't process this at the moment. But I'm sure I'll be pissed at you later, Major." I turned and walked to my room to get ready.
My mind was in a frenzy. Things were suddenly making more sense. Like the pressure I felt in my chest when he was gone, the fact that I missed him the most when they all left, the sexual attraction! Ugh! What am I going to do? I'm still pissed at them but now...now that I know he can't and wont leave me, I'm not worried about that happening again. All the anger I felt towards him is gone. I want to be pissed still but I cant find it in myself to be mad at Jasper.
"FUCK!" I screamed at nothing. Jasper was in front of me before I had even finished.
"Look, I know this is a lot to take in and I'm sorry I did it like that...I wanted to wait a little longer but I couldn't help it." He shrugged. "We will go as slow as I can. I say as I can because there's only so much time before my instincts will kick in and I can't apologize for that one, because its just who I am. I will try to keep my instincts in check though...for as long as I can. I've been fightin' them since I came here so it shouldn't be that hard right?" He said halfheartedly.
"I want to be mad at you, to yell at you and throw things! But for some reason now that I know you can't leave me, all the anger and resentment I had for you has disappeared." I grumbled. Jasper chuckled.
"I'm sorry? I could do somethin' so you would get mad at me again if you wanted?" He asked and I giggled. He pulled me to my bed and sat down while sitting me in his lap. I sighed.
"I feel like I'm getting whiplash from all the mood swings I've been having since you all arrived. It's so hard to be numb or angry with you around. I don't like it. You guys bring up so many emotions and memories that I've tried to block out..." I shook my head to trying to clear it. "I need a smoke and then to get my ass to work." I said before I got all weird on him. He picked me up bridal style and carried me out the backyard and to the tree we were sitting in earlier.
He climbed up and sat with his back against the trunk and patted the thick branch indicating for me to sit between his legs. I leaned back against his chest and made myself comfortable while he lit me a cigarette. He passed one to me and wrapped an arm around my waist while nuzzling my neck and placing light kisses on my pulse point. I moaned. He purred. I turned to goo. Fuck that's hot.
"God you have no idea what you do to me." He groaned. I tried to concentrate on breathing in the smoke but it was hard. I scooted back against him a little more and could feel exactly how hard it was for him as well. He kept up his assault on my neck until I was done with my cigarette.
"Jas, you have to stop. I need to go to work." I said breathlessly. He picked me up and maneuvered me to where I was straddling him and kissed me. I moaned even louder as his left hand gripped my waist and his right was holding onto my ass, gently squeezing it. He pulled away and pouted as I started to push on his chest. I climbed quickly down the tree so I wouldn't be tempted to start that kiss again. I want to jump that mans bones...Ugh!
"So who's coming to watch the human today?" I asked looking at him up in the tree. He readjusted himself and I blushed.
"That would be me darlin'." he said as he stepped off of the branch and landed noiselessly in front of me. He took my hand and led me to my truck.
"Wont it be boring for you?" I asked when we were almost there.
"Nothin's boring with you around, Sweets." He said. His phone buzzed as we were getting into the car and he pulled it out and answered it as I started to back out the driveway.
"What?" He barked into it. "No Alice...It's none of your business...well tell them 'Hello'...Leave it alone...I don't have time for this...I just so happen to be in the company of...someone...no...goodbye, Alice." He said and hung up the phone.
"That was Alice." He said stating what I already knew.
"I gathered that. What did she want?" I asked him.
"Apparently she can't see my future anymore and is freakin' out about it." He told me.
"Hm. Well that's might be because I don't want her to see it anymore." I replied and smirked at his dumbfounded expression. "Close your mouth Cowboy or you'll end up catching flies."
********************End chapter*********************************
Hope you all enjoyed! I know it may seem like the mating was just thrown in but he was jealous and wanted to "stake his claim" on his mate. If Jasper is anything it's possessive of what's his. :) Any ways leave some love if you feel like it! I may be on a short break because we will be moving very soon and I will be without internet for just a little while but I promise I will post a chapter as soooooonnn as I am able to. Maybe if you're good I will post one more before I am without internet! :)
