A/N I own nothing…

When the ship was in sight, Bella couldn't help but wonder what would become of her and Jasper. She knew her feelings ran deep, but also knew that their strange relationship was one-sided. She gripped the basket holding her flower tighter to her chest, closed her eyes and sighed. She had worse things to worry about…such as Alice and the million questions she would be asking. Bella wasn't for sure how she was going to answer them, or if she would have an answer, but she knew if anyone could help her figure this out, it would be Alice. She never did bet against Alice!

The next month passed by in a blur. Bella spent her days writing in her journal and spending time with Alice while spending her nights wrapped in Jasper's arms. The passion between them was only growing and Bella knew that she had lost her heart to him, although she didn't know how he felt about her. She loved listening to his deep voice and more than that, she loved the way his hands felt on her body. She had decided to just live one day at a time and enjoy every minute she had with him.

She was writing in her journal when she thought about their time on the island and what happened afterwards.

As soon as the girls boarded the ship, Alice dragged Bella to Edward's cabin. She pushed her in and slammed the door shut, leaning on it. "Spill it!"

"Alice, you know you could've given me time to get changed."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Bella, I have been waiting forever to get the scoop and you're just trying to delay the inevitable. You know I'll get it out of you, so you might as well tell me now."

Bella fell backwards on the bed. "It was the most incredible experience of my life. You were so right…Jasper knew what he was doing and was very gentle." She closed her eyes and sighed.

Alice sat on the bed beside Bella. "So…I take it he fit?" She started laughing, rolling over on her side. Bella growled, picked up a pillow and started hitting Alice with it. She held her hands out and yelled, "Ok, ok! I'm sorry for teasing you about it, but really…you were so worried about it."

Bella smiled to herself when she remembered how she really got nervous when she actually saw him in all his glory. The door opened, interrupting her thoughts, and Jasper entered the room. He walked over to where she was sitting and sat at the table with her. "I was wondering if you wanted to go outside with me. It's my turn at the wheel and I would really like some company. Everyone else has retired for the evening."

Bella jumped to her feet, excited at the thought of being able to escape from their cabin. "Oh Jasper! I'd love to!" She grabbed his hand and led him to the door.

Jasper chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Ok, let's grab a blanket. We'll be out there for a few hours and I want you to have something to rest on."

Bella gave him a sideways glance. "You know, I've always wanted to steer a ship, but my father told me it wasn't lady-like."

Jasper smiled at her as he led her out the door and to the wheel. "Well, we'll just have to fix that now, won't we?"

He stood behind her, took her hands and placed them on the wheel. He put his hands on top of hers and murmured in her ear, "Just close your eyes and feel the waves carrying the ship." He pressed his body against her back. "Feel the swaying of the ship as it rocks back and forth."

Bella leaned back against Jasper's body, her body soaking in the heat that his was putting off. His large hands, covering hers, showed her how to steer the ship. "Let the wind push the ship. All you have to do is make sure we head in the right direction. See that star up there?" He pointed up to the sky. When she nodded, he added "That's the north star. Keep it to the right of the ship."

Bella had never felt so free in her life. A cool breeze whipped through her hair, blowing it in her face. Jasper reached out and tucked a curl behind her ear. It never ceased to amaze him how soft and beautiful she was. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, but she was more beautiful on the inside. He appreciated the fact that she could hold an intelligent conversation. He never felt like he had to talk down to her. She had loosened up regarding their love-making and was more than willing to try new ideas. He smirked to himself as he remembered the times she had initiated sex between them. Jasper knew he cared deeply for her, but he couldn't let himself love her. Maria had ruined that for him.

Bella's body was on fire from the closeness of Jasper. His hands were caressing hers, his thumbs making tiny circles on top of her hands. "Jasper, this is wonderful! No wonder you have your own ship. I could stay right here forever."

Jasper nuzzled his face in her hair, inhaling deeply. "This is only one of my ships. I have a shipping company back home. But this is my fastest, which is necessary for what we do." He ran his hands up her arms and down her sides to finally rest on her waist.

The tingling in Bella's body was non-stop. She knew as long as she lived, she would never get tired of feeling his hands on her. She tried to keep her attention on the task at hand, but Jasper was making it very difficult. He pushed her hair to one side and began kissing her neck, starting at her ear and travelling along her jaw and down to her shoulder. Bella moaned as she tilted her head, giving him more access to her neck. She felt him smile against her as his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her even closer to him. He ran his hands up her shirt, slowly making his way from her stomach to underneath her breasts, making small circles. Bella started squirming, trying to get him to move his hands higher. Jasper grinned to himself as he did what she wanted. He began massaging her left breast with his left hand while twisting and pulling the nipple on her right breast with his other hand.

Bella groaned as she arched her back, pushing her breasts further into his hands. "Jasper, please…more…"

Jasper stilled his hands and lowered them back down to her waist. "Darlin', we still have another couple of hours before Edward comes to relieve us."

Bella wiggled her ass into Jasper's hardened crotch. She wrapped her arm around his neck and pulled his head down to her level. She moaned into his ear, "Jasper, I need to be relieved now!"

Bella's moan shot straight to Jasper's cock, making it harder than it was before. He groaned as reached around her and shoved his hand down her pants, cupping her mound. His fingers stroking her wet folds, he whispered in her ear, "Like this?" Her hips began rocking as he slipped one finger into her tight core and then added another finger. "How about this?" he asked as his thumb began making circular motions on her clit.

Bella couldn't stop rocking or the moans that escaped from her mouth. "Oh God Jasper! That…feels…so…good!"

"What do you want, Darlin'? What do you need? Do you want my hard cock fucking your wet pussy? Do you need to feel my hard cock fucking your wet pussy?" he asked Bella as he ran his tongue along her jaw and down her neck, stopping to suck on her collarbone.

Bella threw her head back, a shudder running deep within her body. "Uh huh," was all she could manage to reply.

Jasper locked the wheel in place. "Keep your hands on the wheel, Isabella." He pushed her pants down and motioned for her to step out of them. He released his rock-hard cock out of his pants and ran it through her folds. "Tell me, Isabella. Tell me what you want."

Bella felt like she was losing her mind. On one hand, she was afraid someone would catch them, but on the other hand, she found that the idea was making her wetter. She pushed her ass into him hard. "I want you to fuck me."

At hearing her say the word 'fuck', Jasper growled in her ear, "Your wish is my command" and thrust into her. He held on to her waist with one hand and pushed gently down on her back, making her raise her ass to him. She threw back her head, her hair blowing in the wind, and met each of his thrusts. Jasper reached around and got his finger wet with her juices. Then he spread her cheeks and ran his wet finger around her tight hole. When he felt Bella stiffen, he whispered in her ear, "Just relax Darlin'. You know I would never do anything to hurt you. Only pleasure." When he felt her relax, he slowly pushed her finger into her, making small gentle thrusts.

Bella had never felt anything like this before. All she knew was that she wanted more. Her body was on fire and Jasper kept stoking it. She felt the familiar tightening in her abdomen and knew she was getting close. She began pushing herself harder on him, wanting to find that sweet release.

Jasper loved how Bella was so responsive to his touch. As she was pushing hard against him, he pushed even harder against her. His finger was thrusting deep inside her, alternating with the thrusts in her pussy. He could feel her walls tightening down on his cock. "That's it, baby. You feel so good, tight and wet, around my cock. I can't hold out much longer…cum with me Isabella!"

Bella felt her knees give out and gripped the wheel with all her strength. "Jasper!" she screamed as she came hard, her body quivering.

Jasper wrapped his arm around Bella's hips, holding her up and quickly pounded into her. He threw his head back and growled as he found his own orgasm. He slowed his thrusts, bringing them both down softly. He slowly pulled out of her and turned her around, facing him. He gently placed kisses on her forehead, giving her time to catch her breath. He leaned his forehead on hers, looking her in the eyes and whispered, "Beautiful…"

Jasper took off his shirt to give Bella something to clean up with. When she just stared at him when he handed the shirt to him, he chuckled and got down on his knees. He gently pulled her legs apart and began cleaning her up. When the shirt ran across her sensitive clit, she couldn't help but buck her hips. Jasper looked up at her and arched his eyebrow. "Do you want more, Darlin'? I would gladly give it to you, but I must warn you that Edward will be out here in a little bit. You don't want to give him a show, do you?"

Bella felt the flush go from her face down to the rest of her body. She tilted her head and gave Jasper an innocent smile. Once Jasper got over his shock at her response, he laughed. "Come on now…surely I haven't corrupted you that much!" He tucked himself back into his pants and helped her get her own back on. He unlocked the wheel and placed his hands over hers. "I love being out here at night. Twilight is the best time of the day. The men are in their cabins and the peace gives me time to think." He paused and whispered in her ear, "Although you are changing my mind about being out here by myself!"

Bella couldn't agree with him more. She giggled to herself as she thought of all the places on the ship they could 'explore'.

The giggle didn't escape Jasper's notice. "What thoughts are running through that beautiful mind of yours, Darlin'?"

Bella smiled to herself as she answered him. "Oh I was just thinking of all the exploring we could do on the ship."

Jasper's laugh was like music to her ears. It was a deep throaty sound, not like the barks she had heard from some of the other crew members. Before he could respond, Edward joined them. He looked at Bella and then at a shirtless Jasper. "Ok, I don't even want to know…I'm just here to relieve you two."

Bella and Jasper began laughing so hard, they were gripping their stomachs. At Edward's confused expression, Jasper tried to stop laughing. "It's nothing…just a private joke between Bella and I. We'll go on in now." He picked up a still laughing Bella bridal style and walked to their cabin. When Jasper had shut the door behind them, Edward shook his head. "He's got it bad and I don't even think he realizes it!"
