A/N This chapter is short, I know. At least it's something though! XD
sM oWnS tWiLiGhT….I just screw with it!
I hummed contentedly as I shoveled the food into my mouth. "Oh my God Jasper!" I moaned out, covering my mouth as I chewed. "This is amazing!" I swallowed and washed it down with some Diet Coke.
I'm glad you like it. He responded back in my head, the rumblings still being produced from his chest.
"I don't like it," I told him, "I love it!" I picked up the fork again and twirled it around the noodles and brought it to my mouth. As it hit my tongue I could help but groan out in pleasure as my taste buds danced with joy.
"Bella," Jasper spoke in a strained whisper. I froze as I heard his voice. It was unlike I ever heard before—it was low and had a gravely sort of feel to it.
What is it? I asked cautiously.
You really have to stop making those noises. He told me quietly through our bond. Even in my head I could hear the deepness in his voice. I looked up into his eyes and realized with a start that his eyes were pitch black. I continued to gaze into his eyes until his growling returned to its original pitch—which was deafening. At that point I lowered my eyes and bowed my head.
I'm sorry! He instantly said. I can't help it.
"I know you can't," I told him quietly, spinning another forkful of noodles. I'm not challenging you.
I know you aren't. He affirmed. But he is still trying to get used to the idea. I kept my head down and nodded once. Hey. Look at me. I continued to study my plate, fingering the edge.
He reached forward and gently laid a hand on the side of my face. I leaned into the contact, closing my eyes as I did so. His thumb stroked my cheek soothingly and ever-so gently he tilted my head up. After a few seconds, his lips met mine in a surprisingly tender kiss.
Hey…he whispered through our bond. I love you. I froze at this, growing tense as I processed the words. My eyes floated open and I gazed into his eyes-which were now shinning in emotion, captivating me in their dark beauty.
I love you.
My eyes started watering, the tears threatening to overspill as the pooled around the corners.
I love you.
My breathing grew shallow as I attempted to comprehend what he just said.
I love you.
I noticed vaguely that Jasper moved the tray onto the bedside table and positioned himself so he was straddling my lap; careful not to bump my injured leg.
I love you.
His other hand came up to my other cheek so he was cupping my face.
I love you.
His lips were moving but I couldn't make out what he was saying. It seemed as if he was talking to me from a long ways off.
I love you.
"Jasper," I gasped. My hands flew up to lock behind his neck. I pulled him to me and buried my face in his chest.
I love you.
He buried his face in my curls, breathing in my scent.
I love you.
I was clutching to his neck as if it were a lifeline, refusing to let go.
I love you.
The fingers of his right hand released its hold on my face.
I love you.
His fingers set an agonizingly slow pace as he traced swirls down my neck.
I love you.
Circles on my collarbone.
I love you.
Stars around my navel.
I love you.
To which his hand rested on my hip bone.
I love you.
His hold on me was tight, dancing the line between pleasure and pain.
I love you.
I nuzzled my head against his chest, trying to get as close as possible.
I love you.
My hands teased the hair on his neck, running my fingers through the silky curls.
I love you.
Jasper turned his head to the side, his lips finding my ear.
I love you.
He seemed to whisper.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
His lips glided across my jaw to my chin and back up the other side.
I love you.
He kissed everything he had in reach.
I love you.
My cheeks.
I love you.
My chin.
I love you.
My right temple.
I love you.
My nose.
I love you.
My left temple.
I love you.
My eyes.
I love you.
My forehead.
I love you.
And finally my lips.
I love you.
His lips danced with mine in a slow and sensual way. It was not overly possessive or overly sweet.
I love you.
It was Jasper. Simply that.
I love you.
Jasper and me.
I love you.
Together.
I love you.
"Jasper!" I gasped out, breaking the kiss.
I love you.
