***Thanks! I wish I could respond back to all of you, but then I couldn't keep up this writing pace. And, I have a feeling you're looking for the chapter instead of a response from me. lol But, I appreciate all of your comments. And, hello to all my new reviewers!

***Thanks TwiCarol, Jasper's Darlin' Kathy and Lady Tazz.

Jasper

I climbed into her window and watched as she tried to settle in for the evening. She was such a restless little thing. She tossed and turned and kicked the covers off the bed. She wasn't asleep yet and I could feel she was trying to relax herself with her mind.

It wasn't working.

I smirked because I could definitely help with that. I focused in on her and sent her a few calming vibes, but as soon as I did she must have realized what was happening. She slowly opened her eyes and I immediately felt her relief over seeing me. I didn't realize how much I'd missed her until this moment. The connection was getting stronger. It was the most intense sensation I'd ever felt and that was saying a lot coming from an empath.

"Hello darlin'." I smiled. "Miss me?"

"Get out!" She screamed as she jumped out of her bed faster than I'd ever seen her move before.

"What?" She was furious.

"You left me." I could feel the desperation radiating from her.

"I had to," I admitted. "I needed to go see Alice."

"Alice?" Her jealousy spiked and I couldn't help but smile until she picked up the lamp and hurled it at my head. Luckily, my reflexes were faster, but the lamp shattered into a hundred pieces and put a hole in the wall.

"Bella, you gotta…"

"Don't you dare manipulate me!" She screamed. "You left me with that crass, rude vampire. How is Charlotte mated to him?"

"Sometimes we don't choose." I smiled because I never would have thought a year ago that Bella Swan was who I would end up with. But now, I couldn't imagine my life without her.

"Well, good, I hope your mate finds you soon. But, I feel really sorry for her. Now get out!"

Like I believed for one second she wanted me to go.

"Come here." I didn't really give her a chance to object. I grabbed her and pulled her toward me, resting my hands on either side of her hips.

"Jasper," she whispered. "No, I'm mad at you."

"I don't believe that." I kissed her neck and slowly ran my fingers through her hair. "I should be mad at you for not doing what Peter told you I wanted. We're gonna have to work on your listening skills."

"If you think I'm ever gonna bow down to your will, you're outta your freakin' mind! Now let me go!" She tried to pull out of my hold, but I was never letting go.

"Do you know how far Alaska is from Forks?" I ran my lips along her jaw and I could feel her dropping her defense.

She nodded.

"I made it there and back in record time." I continued to kiss her neck, working my way along her jaw and stopping just at her lips. "Do you know why?"

"No." She swallowed hard.

"I had to get back to you," I whispered against her lips as I took her hand and intertwined our fingers. "And you know what I learned?"

She shook her head.

"I can't ever leave you again," I spoke against her mouth.

"Not ever?" I could feel her need.

"Not ever, Bella. You belong to me." I pulled her lips to mine and slowly kissed her, feeling all of her anger and anxiety leave her immediately. I didn't even have to manipulate her emotions; just being close to me was all she needed.

She tangled her fingers in my hair and in between kisses she whispered, "And, you belong to me."

"Always." I pushed her down on the bed and moved in next to her. She turned to face me and then pressed her palm to my cheek. I closed my eyes and indulged in her warmth. I liked when she touched me. It had a calming effect on me I'd never experienced before.

"How did this happen?" she asked. "Why now?"

"It chooses us sometimes," I said.

"Why did you try to fight it?"

"It was different than anything I'd ever experienced before," I admitted. "From the moment you showed up here last week, I knew something powerful was happening when you were standing on the porch debating on whether to knock. Then you decided it wasn't worth it, but I couldn't let you leave, so I grabbed you and pulled you inside."

"But, it was clear you didn't want me here," she said and I could feel the rejection she felt over the memory.

"Not at first," I spoke honestly. "I thought I wanted to feed from you, but when I threw you down on the couch, I couldn't do it. It made me angry and confused."

She gently kissed my lips and stroked my hair.

"Then when you left with the wolves, I felt this ache deep within my chest. I'd never experienced a lost like that before. I still didn't want to accept it. But, you were so persistent, showing up that night after I got out of the shower."

I felt her lust spike.

"Soon." I whispered as I kissed her. "You need to be absolutely sure because once we consummate this union, I won't ever be able to leave your side."

She hitched her leg over my hip and moved herself as close to me as physically possible. I could feel her heart beating against my chest.

"I want that," she said. "I want you to make me yours. I don't completely understand what's going on, but I know it goes beyond anything I ever thought possible."

"I know you're confused and I'm gonna try to explain, but what's between us is different than what Carlisle and Esme have or Em and Rose because you're not a vampire."

"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked.

"When two vampires come together, it's called mating."

"I know, like James and Victoria," she said. "That's why she was coming after me, she thought I was responsible for killing her mate."

"Yeah, well, I set her straight just before I broke her neck. I told her I threw him in the fire."

"I don't remember that part," she said. "I was busy burning from the inside."

"So, you understand the concept of a vampire mate. It puts us together for eternity. One can't physically be without the other for long periods of time. They feel the need to protect one another. It's an attraction they can't fight."

"That's how I've felt all week," I said. "I don't like being away from you."

"I tried to fight it, but I knew something was different when you showed up here last week. It's hard to be close to you, but I don't want to hurt you. I've never been able to be around a human before and not have some desire to drain them."

"But, you don't want to drain me?" I felt her fear.

I shook my head.

"What do you want to do with me?"

I growled at the thought of claiming her, but I had to maintain some sort of control. She was still human after all and I knew how intense the mating pull could become. I'd felt it through the others many times before.

"I want you more than I've ever wanted another," I whispered against her jaw.

"If that's what keeps you with me always." I could feel her desperation mixing in with her desire and hunger for me. "Please, Jasper, make love to me."

I gently tugged on her bottom lip with my teeth and then sucked it into my mouth. She pushed her tongue inside my mouth and kissed me with as much force as she could manage as she quickly worked to unbutton my shirt. My body trembled when I felt her warm hands run over my chest and down my abs. She climbed up on top of me and quickly pressed her lips to mine before slowly kissing down my neck, stopping to lick over the crescent shaped mark just over where the blood used to pulse under my skin. I tangled my fingers in her hair and gently guided her down my chest.

"Bella," I whispered as she kissed over as many of my scars as she could. "You don't have to do that."

"You're perfect." She smiled as she looked up at me before moving her lips down the center of my stomach. She kissed and licked just above the waistband of my jeans and to my surprise I felt her reaching for my belt buckle. My dick was practically jumping up and down at the thought of her warm mouth in such close proximity. It had been a long time since anyone put their lips around that part of my body.

Once my belt was undone, she moved to my button.

What was she doing?

With shaky hands she managed to get my pants undone, but I could feel her anxiety as she lowered the zipper. She stopped and looked up at me.

"Bella?"

"I want…" she stopped and I felt her embarrassment.

"I'll give you anything you want, baby." And, I would. She would never lack anything she desired from this day forward.

"I want you, but I don't know how," she admitted. "You have to teach me."

I tilted her chin up and looked deep into her eyes, reading her emotions. She was aroused and she wanted something, but she didn't know what it was. I had to remember to take it slow with her. She'd never done anything like this before and she needed time.

"I'll teach you anything you want to know," I said as I pulled her up and flipped her on her back. "But, right now, I have something to show you."

She looked up at me with wide eyes. She was anticipating my next move almost as much as I was. I positioned myself between her legs and leaned down, brushing my lips against her neck, before moving down over her nipple. I gently sucked it into my mouth through the thin material of her tank top. She let out a soft sigh and then arched her back, forcing more of her covered breast into my mouth. I licked and sucked, but it wasn't enough.

"This isn't gonna work, beautiful," I said as I pulled her shirt up over her head, exposing her perfect tits to me. She gave me a seductive smile and it pleased me to see how comfortable she was to allow me to take in her beauty.

"You're not shy because you belong to me." I kissed each of her nipples before lowering my lips to her flat stomach, swirling my tongue inside her belly button, darting it in and out. She moaned at the contact.

"While we're at it," I said as I pushed her tight little boy shorts over her hips and down her legs, leaving her in nothing but a tiny pair of black panties.

She was gonna make me blow my load without even touching me.

"You're scent drives me insane," I moaned against her inner thigh before running my tongue along her panties, making sure to press against her opening.

"Oh, Jas…" She wiggled underneath me. "More."

I smiled against her mound, but did as she asked. I moved her panties to the side and ran my tongue along her now uncovered slit. If her smell was heavenly, her taste was ten times better. I would remember her taste on my tongue for the rest of my existence.

I let out a low growl when she slipped her fingers in my hair. She tensed up, but that wasn't the reaction I was hoping for.

"It's not your blood I'm lusting for," I assured her. "I want more of you."

I ripped the panties from her body, eliciting a short gasp of surprise from her. I licked my lips at the sight of her; naked and laid out before me.

Mine.

"You're amazing," I whispered, making sure to get a good, long look at this flawless woman; my woman. "And, I intend to explore every last inch of you. Starting right here."

I pushed my tongue inside her folds and slowly licked as much of her as I could. I closed my eyes and tried to slow down. Her taste was too much. I wanted more, I wanted all of her.

She moaned and writhed underneath me. Her lust was crashing into me harder than I'd ever experienced before. I licked and sucked her clit, gently biting down on it and relishing in the taste of her juices flowing into my mouth. I pushed two fingers inside her, spreading her open for me.

"Jas…" She screamed as she lifted her hips off the bed, forcing her pussy closer to my face.

I gripped her thigh with my free hand and moved my tongue at vampire speed. Bella couldn't take anymore. Her leg slapped against my shoulder, and then she shook against my face, screaming out her release.

Thank God Charlie was workin'!

I licked her thighs, greedily sucking at her skin, trying to lap up as much of her fluids as I could before kissing my way up her stomach, over her breasts and finally to her lips. Her heart was thumping against her chest so hard and her breathing was labored. I sent her a few tranquil waves, helping her to settle down.

"Jasper." She barely managed to breathe out. "I…"

"I know." I laughed.

"You have more than one gift." She giggled.

"You have no idea the things I'm capable of, sweetheart." I gently kissed her.

"But?" She stopped and bit her bottom lip. "What about you?"

"It's enough to just be close to you for now," I admitted. "I don't want to lose control."

"Is it difficult being with me?"

"No, surprisingly not," I said. "I couldn't hurt you like that, but I've never wanted anyone the way I want you, so I have to find the balance."

"You won't hurt me," she whispered as she climbed on top of me and straddled my waist. She tugged at my already opened jeans and slipped them just below my hips.

"What are you doing?"

"I know you can handle this." She started grinding into me. "We've done it like this a couple of times." I felt her lust spike as she continued to rock her wet pussy against my cock. I could feel her moisture seeping through my boxers.

I growled as I watched her perfect tits bounce up and down. She closed her eyes and threw her head back. She was clearly enjoying herself.

"Jasper, I can't wait for you to be inside me," she whispered. "It's a need only you can fill."

"Fuck!" I flipped her over and wrapped her legs around my waist, thrusting against her bare sex. I swore this would be the last time I'd take her like this. It took every ounce of control not to push inside her.

I was so close, but I needed to take her with me.

"Bella." I moaned. "I want to show you want I'm feelin'. Is that okay?"

"Hmm…" she moaned. "Show me, make me feel it."

I pushed my desire onto her, holding nothing back. She was full of just as much lust as I was, so the intensity of what we were both feeling was too much. And, within seconds we were both screaming out our release.

I collapsed down next to her and pulled her onto my chest.

"You're a vixen," I whispered as I rubbed her back.

"I wanted to make you feel good, too."

"You did," I said. "But, Isabella, I'm gonna have to be inside you next time."

I felt her excitement.

"You like that idea."

She nodded and then blushed.

"I need you to come back to the house with me tomorrow," I said. "Can you manage that with Charlie?"

"I think so." I felt how much she wanted to be with me.

"I'll stay close while you're at school and work, but I'll need you with me whenever possible."

"Can't get enough of me?"

"No, I can't. But, I'm serious. The more time we spend together, the stronger the bond becomes. I have to have you Bella."

"You already do, Jasper," she whispered.

I pulled her closer to me. "You sleep now," I whispered. "We'll figure this all out. I promise."

"You'll be here when I get up?" I felt her insecurity.

"Of course I will," I said. "You're stuck with me."

"Good." She yawned. "I can hardly keep my eyes open."

"Let me help you settle in." I sent her a burst of lethargic energy.

"Hmm…" she sighed. "Night, Jasper."

She was asleep within seconds, so I pulled the comforter up over her body. I stared down at her and gently kissed her head. There was no turning back now. She was my mate in every sense of the word and I would never leave her side.

***I'm currently working on a massive outtake for this story that I'm donating to Fandom Gives Back Autism. If you'd like details on this cause, go here… fandomgivesback dot blogspot dot com

***I'm also toying with a continuation of this story after I write the outtake. I'll still end this story here in two chapters as I intended and then once I post the outtake, I'll start part two. I won't make it a sequel, but it's not something I can do right away. As I said before, this was always supposed to be a oneshot, but so many of you seem to want so much more and I'd like to deliver, so I'll see what I come up with, but I have a huge idea. Lol
