A/N A huge thanks to my beta, twilightaddict71484 for her awesome skills to make this better, and to my pre readers Jasper'sAngel, and sinfulroad69. Without them, I just couldn't do this. I'm so so sorry about being late in posting. I was having trouble with this chapter. Just so you know, we hear from Demetri. We also get to meet the horse, and see Bella's reaction. Even Jasper doesn't see it coming. Enjoy.

Demetri's POV

I told the family that I had to hunt, and that is true. Even though I have to hunt animals now, it will be worth it in the end when I have Isabella by my side. The other thing I had to do was to call Aro and let him know about his other experiment.

Yeah, what no one else knew was that Aro knew that Jasper and Isabella were mates. He wanted to see if emotions could overcome the mating bond with hybrids. While they weren't positive until Marcus saw the two of them together, it was confirmed, when he did.

He wanted Jasper mad enough to be cruel to her, thinking she was evil. Once the truth was out, would her anger at him overrule the mating instinct in her? I had a extremely large amount of money on her NOT letting her instincts take over. She WOULD chose me, no matter what.

I told Aro that she was seeming to warm up to me. That I was going to romance her. That was a lie. I didn't really care about the little bitch, she was born to please me. That's exactly what she would do. I plan on making her my sex slave. She will do everything I tell her to do, or her mother will suffer the consequences, starting with choosing to be with me.

But now, I'm thinking that maybe I should use Jasper as well. I could kill him easily. He wouldn't even know what hit him. But first things first. I need her to chose me, and before she does, I need to make sure that she understands what is at stake; if she doesn't, well then I'll make sure that Jasper isn't her first fuck, then I'll kill him, and she'll know to choose me or her mother will be next.

Aro already promised that I could have her if she goes against her mating instinct. Which she will, stupid bitch. No matter what, she WILL be mine.

Bella's POV

After eating breakfast I went back up to my room to get ready for my time with Demetri. I was really dreading this morning, especially, after my dream last night. When I thought of it again, I wanted to run. I couldn't let Jasper feel what I was feeling so I put my shield up. He had Rose ask me about it.

I just couldn't lie to her, so I told her about my dreams and them coming true. I went on to tell her that I had one about Demetri and I was becoming more than just a little frightened. She asked me why I didn't just tell Jasper I was choosing him and let Demetri go back to Italy.

I reminded her that my mom's life was at stake and I needed to wait the week out before making a public decision. She told me that she was still going to talk to Carlisle and see if he could get Aro to change his mind on making it a week. I asked her to please wait, I was worried that in doing this Aro would get angry and have mom killed anyway.

She finally promised to wait, but also told me that if I seemed to become more frightened than I was already that she would talk to Carlisle. The only good thing is that I wouldn't be alone with him.

I then asked her how Jasper was holding up. She told me that she thought he would be alright today as he was working on the project he was going to reveal to me this afternoon. She hadn't seen him this excited in a very long time.

A part of me was relieved to hear that he wasn't hurting right now. Another was getting angry at myself that I couldn't seem to keep the anger towards him. Since he had found out the truth, he has shown me nothing but kindness. Mom was right, he felt like he didn't deserve to be loved, yet he still held out hope that I would choose him.

Rose was about to leave so that I could finish getting ready for Demetri. I told her I was ready, and that I was not changing out of my jeans, and boots. I also told her that we needed to come up with a good reason why I was hiding my emotions from Jasper. It only took a minute for us to come up with that I was scared for my mom. It was the truth.

She had told me with the last phone call that she should be having the baby in a couple of weeks at the most. She had been having some problems with the baby breaking her bones. They would heal right away but she still felt the pain of them breaking. So I wouldn't be lying that I was scared for her.

Demetri came and tried to make me put on a dress and heels but Rose cut in and told him that if I was going for another walk with him, then what I was wearing was perfect for that and he could either take it or leave it. He accepted it and so we went for another fucking three hour walk. Only I was prepared by wearing my boots.

This time he started out talking about his favorite subject, himself. Then he started talking about what our life was going to be like once I got back to Italy. It was mostly about how I would learn what pleases him and shit like that. I was beginning to think that what he was talking about was wrong.

I was becoming more upset the more he talked. He was talking as if I had already made my decision. So I finally interrupted him and asked him why he was talking as if I had already chosen him. He just smiled and said, "Isabella, I have absolutely no doubt that you will choose me."

The tone of his voice worried me even more. He was so sure. I knew that he had great power in Italy, and because of his usefulness to Aro, he could get away with most things. This vampire had every intention of making me his sex slave.

I had assumed, and wrongly it seems, that females had been created to please the males. My mom did tell me that there were a few who were lucky enough to find their soul mate, and love. She had first found love with my dad, and then was lucky enough to find her soul mate in Felix. Sadly, for him, he had to watch my mom be put with my human father, fall in love, and have a baby with him. Then he had to watch as my father was killed for trying to get us out of Italy.

When Jasper explained about the females carrying purses and that they were not there to breed, or even just have sex I was shocked. I was raised to believe that females had to please the males, it was our job so to speak. I knew that sometimes they got married, but it was only to keep the females from going to other males to please them. That's why I had to marry Jasper.

Marriage was like a contract. The females that married, were not allowed to have sex with anyone else. The males on the other hand could go and have sex with as many females as they wanted to, as long as they did not leave the female they were married to. Usually, though they have already had sex with the female, and they were so good at pleasing them that the male wanted them all to themselves.

Esme had finally sat down with me, along with Rose, and Alice; with Alice sitting on the other side of the room from me. Yeah, she better be afraid of me, she even looks at Jasper and I'll fucking crush her like a rock. Okay, I'm off the subject now.

They all sat down with me and explained that in human society today, that marriage is kind of like a contract, but its done because two people love each other, and want to spend their lives with just each other. It's not forced, and it means that both males and females do not have sex with anyone other than the person they are married to.

They did explain that it still does happen, having sex with others, but most people try to stay with one person throughout their lives. They explained all about dating, and then went on to explain that with the mating bond its totally different. Humans just did not feel the pull, or the pain of separation like vampires do, or like I do.

Then they asked me if I understood about vampire mating completely. I told them that I knew about the pull, the pain of being apart, the possessiveness, and need to be close to the mate especially, after a threat. I also told them I knew about the absolute need to claim, and mark. Then they asked me the loaded question, was I feeling the need to be with Jasper in that way?

I thought about lying but decided that they would probably see right through it. Jasper had been working off and on outside on the project they were doing and every time he took his shirt off, if he thought I was looking. Of course after that, I wasn't just looking, I was staring and using my imagination. So yeah, I was feeling something.

Demetri let me know his time was up and left. No way of knowing how in the fuck I was to get back to the house. I guess he figured that he could just take me into the woods, leave me, and by the time I got back it would be too late to have my afternoon with Jasper. Fucking asshole. I guess I need to talk to Carlisle and see if this can be stopped, or at least make him stop taking me into the woods.

I called Rose who came right away. Of course she had to track me because I had no fucking clue where I was at. She was more than a little pissed, and told me that she would be having a talk with Carlisle. This would not be happening again.

She carried me back and it only took a few minutes. I still had an hour before Jasper would come to pick me up. I was so fucking upset that I asked Rose if I could eat in my room. She quickly agreed and then went to get my lunch and bring it up to me.

Once settled I asked her where Jasper was. Apparently, he had heard the conversation with Rose, and became so angry at what Demetri had done that he had to leave to get rid of some of his anger. But she knew that he wouldn't be gone long because he had been way too excited over the surprise he has for me.

She asked me how I knew he wasn't here and I told her because the pain hadn't gone away or eased up like it normally does when he's here. This seemed to make her so excited that she was practically bouncing in her seat. She told me that apparently, I had the full mating thing going on, if I could feel him around me, or his absence when he wasn't.

Then she surprised me by bringing out an outfit for me to wear. It was jeans, a button up shirt that was really more like a cowgirl shirt, and of course the cowgirl boots to go with the outfit. She said it went with the surprise that Jasper had for me, she also explained that the whole family would be there to watch him give it to me.

The actual gift was from Jasper, but the rest of it was from the whole family. She was explaining that her and Emmett had gone while I slept and gotten it, when I felt the pain ease up, and the pull get stronger. I knew he was back.

She saw the change in me and smiled and then grabbed me for a hug. She was so happy that her brother had someone who could love him for who he is, and she mouthed that she couldn't wait to see him when I gave him my decision. Right now, she needed to get downstairs as Jasper was about to pick me up and take me to see my surprise.

Jasper's POV

I knew I couldn't fucking control the rage that burned through my body at hearing what Demetri had done to Bella. She didn't know this, but he had taken her almost ten miles away from the house and then just fucking left her. I knew why too.

He thought that if it took her all afternoon for her to get back then it would give me less time with her. Either that, or that I would get too fucking angry to be able to spend time with her. Neither one worked today. I was too fucking excited to see her face when she sees what I got for her.

When Rose and Em got back with him, even I was shocked by the beauty, and majesty of the horse. He was beautiful, and he fucking knew it too. He had no fear of us at all. He held his head up high, and he let us touch him. I ended up spending the whole morning with him, brushing, and feeding, and getting to know his personality.

He was perfect for Bella. Yeah, he knew he was beautiful, yet, he was gentle. I have a feeling it was the fact that we were giving him special attention that helped to keep him calm. I just couldn't fucking wait to see Bella's face when she saw him for the first time.

I was so fucking excited that I was late getting to her room. That plus the fact that I had to shower after coming back from taking out a few trees. When she opened her door, I was overwhelmed by her beauty, and the fact that she was looking like a cowgirl. A sexy cowgirl. I found that I had lost my voice.

Her giggles is what brought me out of my fantasies and back to reality. I had to swallow before speaking, and even then it was only a whisper. I told her she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, and it was the fucking truth. She blushed. Oh, fucking, shit! She fucking blushed, and instead of wanting to drain her, I wanted to rip those clothes off and find out just how far down her blush went.

I heard Edward yelling at me to stop projecting. Apparently, the whole family knew about the lust I was feeling. I was having a really "hard" time right now. I finally got my thoughts back to the horse and that helped to stop the projection.

Unfortunately, when I opened my eyes, (I had to close them to try to control myself.) I saw that Bella apparently, had noticed my "problem" and was staring straight at it. The second I noticed she was staring, she realized I had caught her staring at my erection, she blushed again. Only this time she became red as a tomato.

It was Rose that came up and broke up the lust that was going on between Bella and I. She said that everyone was waiting to see the surprise. I really didn't fucking care, but I knew that I couldn't act out what I truly wanted to do, which had nothing to do with horses. I wanted her to save a horse, and ride a cowboy. That cowboy being me!

Rose ran back downstairs after making sure that both of us were coming. I led her outside and then to the stable. I told her to wait here and close her eyes. She did as I asked and I jumped over the fence, and into the stable.

Once I had the horse out I told her to open her eyes. The look on her face was priceless. She just stared at first before the tears came. When she spoke you could tell just by her voice that she was overwhelmed, "A horse? You bought a horse? This is the most beautiful horse I have ever seen!

I told her to call him over to see if he would come to her. As soon as I said it the horse automatically went to Bella. She started rubbing the horse on the forehead. She asked me the name, and when I told her she started crying even harder. I could feel her love for the animal already. When I looked into her eyes, I saw what I thought might be a flicker of love, but quickly passed. Now, I actually felt like I might have a chance.

Bella's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. This man, and his family had gone out of their way to buy the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. I'm going to assume for me to ride. But when he told me the horse was mine, and his name, the tears came even harder.

When I first saw him I was shocked by his beauty. He was pure white, so white it was almost blinding. There wasn't a spot on him anywhere, and his mane went down past his neck, and his tail was almost dragging the ground.

Jasper's voice broke me out of my distraction, "Bella, his name is Snow King, and he's yours, if you want him."

I know that Jasper wasn't supposed to touch me, but no one had said I couldn't touch him. I jumped onto him hugging him as hard as I could. At first I felt him stiffen, then he relaxed and hugged me back. I just couldn't help myself, I jumped up and kissed him right on the lips. . .

A/N Please let me know what you think. Here is a hint at the next chapter, Bella doesn't know what she did by kissing Jasper. I'm really interested in what you thought of the horse. For those who are following my other story Seattle Nights, I'll be posting the next chapter later today. Thanks to all who reviewed, and added this story to their favorites, and alerts. Love you guys.
