Another warning, there is another lemon in this chapter. There is also a surprise, actually there are two of them. I hope you enjoy.

Jasper POV

She had fallen asleep, after another round of beautiful, love making. I couldn't get over how much like a vampire she is. The intensity, of not only her feelings, but her desire, and her need to be with me.

I found myself, once again, thanking the powers that be, that I was allowed to have this beautiful, wonderful, loving, and compassionate woman, fall in love with me! She was mine, and I would never stop trying to show her how much she meant to me.

The love making, what can I say? It seemed like the more we made love, the more we needed to do it, again. I am shocked, though, she couldn't seem to get enough. I would have never guessed that she would be able to make love that many times, in one day! I had a feeling that she might be sore, when she woke up.

When she told me about Maria, there were so many emotions running through me. I wanted to rip, tear, hurt, destroy, but I needed to make sure that Bella was safe. At the same time, I needed to destroy the bitch that had destroyed my mates' family!

I needed to find out if Peter had found Maria, so, I got up and went outside to call him. The first thing out of his mouth when he answered was, "She told you then?"

"Yes, and I want to fucking know if you have found that bitch yet?" I yelled at him. I was pissed, but, not sure who I needed to be pissed at.

"No, Major, we have not found her," he told me.

"You knew, didn't you, Captain," I barked out.

"Only after we left, Major. Ethan, never told us anythin' that had happened, until we were on our way. I felt like I wasn't supposed to ask, who," Peter said.

"You are to find her, when you do, you will let me know where she is. I will be the only one dealing with her. She fucked with the wrong vampire, this time. I know that I didn't know my mate then, still. She has hurt my mate. She will be fucking destroyed," I was getting angrier the more I thought about it.

"Major, I hope that you will be able to calm yourself down, before going back to Bella. I know you don't want to hurt or scare her," Peter told me.

"DON"T YOU FUCKING TELL ME HOW TO HANDLE MY MATE," I screamed into the phone.

I knew Peter was right. On the other hand, I needed to let her know that she was mine. Therefore, I would take care of her and protect her. I needed to claim her, I knew that I wanted to mark her, but I couldn't do that, not until, she had been turned.

I was getting even more pissed. I thought about the fact that there was some strange vampire that had gotten close enough for him to touch her, that just fucking pissed me off even more!

"Sorry, sir. I'm just tryin' to make sure she stays safe. I didn't mean to imply anythin' else," Peter told me.

"I will deal with her. She needs to know that she can't fucking keep this kind of shit from me," I told him with venom in my voice.

"Major, permission to speak frankly sir," Peter said.

"What the fuck is it," I spat out.

"She only kept it from you, because she loves you. She knew that the information could have hurt you deeply. She would rather have died, than to hurt you. She is human, sir. She put you ahead of her feelin', the need for revenge," Peter told me quickly.

"Yes, and what if I had lost her, because she felt she needed to keep this information from me," I asked.

"Sir, this is Ethan. I'm sorry to interrupt, but you need to know that it was me; that I told her not to tell you. I know how you can get with guilt, well, I told her that if you were to find out all of the facts, it might cause you to feel guilt, over something that was clearly none of your fault. Just so you know, Major, it was her idea to tell you everything. I told her to do what she thought was best."

"She, made the decision to tell me? What would you have done, if, she had not told me," I needed to know.

"Then, I probably would have tried to talk her into telling you, if that didn't work; I would have told you myself. Things changed, once we realized that you two were soul mates. She and I both, felt that you needed to know," Ethan told me.

He continued, "We both knew that since you had her, that two things needed to be taken into account. First, there needed to be no secrets, between the two of you. Second, you had her to keep you grounded, so to speak, and you needed to be able to take care of your mate. The only way to do that is for you to know everything."

I thought about what he said, "Ethan, thank you, for being honest with me. Now, we need to get that fucking bitch taken care of. The three of you haven't come across her, yet?"

"No sir, but I need to ask," Ethan said quietly.

"I haven't hurt her; she hasn't even met the "Major" yet. She is about to. I'm still too fucking pissed at all of this fucked up shit. That scares me; I know that I won't hurt her, at least not too badly. That is why I won't touch her," I told him.

"Maybe, you should stay away, at least until you have calmed down some. I know that, will be hard. I could call her, let her know that you need some tim. . ."Ethan started.

I roared, "NO, that is NOT an option! I NEED her to help me calm down."

"I can't even fucking think right now. I'm so fucking pissed. I will promise you, that I will do my best to not hurt her, or scare her. I love her; it hurts, even now to be away from her. I will have her call you later, just do as I have told Peter to do, get back to me asap," I told him.

With that I hung up. I really needed to calm the fuck down. Right now, the pain in my chest was really bad and getting worse. The pull, was so strong, it felt like if I didn't get back to her that it would kill me. I couldn't go back, not yet. I was afraid that I might hurt her.

So, I just went and punched a tree or two. Finally, I just decided to sit and think for a bit. Problem being, the pain in my chest was getting worse by the minute. I had been walking away from the cabin.

Maybe, I should just go back to the cabin, and sit outside, until, I can calm my fucking ass down. So, I headed back to the cabin. When I got there, the pain was still there.

I tried to sit down, but, immediately, got back up. Shit, I needed to just hold her. With that I went back inside.

When I got into the bedroom, she looked like she had been startled awake. I knew that I must look intimidating, still I approached her. She backed up a little bit on the bed, not good Whitlock; you need to fucking calm down.

I grabbed her arm, gently, and pulled her to me. I desperately, needed to touch her, to have her body close to me. I kissed her, more roughly than she was used to.

I then told her I needed to be able to take care of her, protect her. She needed to trust me, and do whatever, I told her to, for her own good. I needed her to understand. She was MINE, and I would do whatever it took to protect her.

I needed badly to claim her, but I needed to calm down. So, I ripped off, the shirt, and boxers she had on, removed my own jeans, then, laid down next to her, and put my face in her neck. I knew that if I could just inhale her scent, I might be able to calm down.

As I laid there with her in my arms, I could feel her love for me. I didn't fucking deserve her love. I started thinking about what Maria had done, to her, and her family, just to get to me. I started feeling myself shaking from anger. If I didn't get away, I would hurt her that scared me more than anything.

I kissed her on the neck, got up and put my jeans back on, and left. I ran, taking out trees, boulders, anything I could get my hands on. After a while, I realized the pain was back, as well, as the pull. I continued to tear things up, but I was heading back towards the cabin.

When I was close enough, I could tell she was sleeping. So, I sat outside for awhile. Finally, the pain was too bad; I had to go back inside.

I found her sleeping, but I could still smell the salty smell of tears. That was like a knife, straight into my chest. I, had made her cry, I HAD, hurt her. I promised to never hurt her, yet. I had caused her pain.

Would she ever be able to forgive me? I knew that I would spend the rest of my existence to make it up to her. For now, I would just hold her.

After another round of making love to her, she fell asleep, in my arms. If I could shed tears, I would have. The pain that my existence has caused her, yet, she loved me. She couldn't find fault in me, even though, I deserved her hatred.

I vowed then, that I would give her anything. I would, give her the world if she asked. I would be a better man, for her. I would make her every dream come true, no matter what it took.

Bella POV

When I woke up, I was still wrapped up in Jasper's arms. It was the most wonderful feeling. I don't think that I will ever get enough of this man. He was everything; I had always dreamed about and wanted.

I knew that we needed to talk, but there was something else I wanted to do, no, needed to do first. Of course, being the empathic vampire that he is, he felt it!

"That's a lot of lust coming from you, darlin'. Are you wanting to, do naughty things, before even eating breakfast," he asked?

"They are only naughty, in your mind. To me, it's heaven on earth," I told him.

I continued, "and yes, always before breakfast, or you could BE my breakfast! So, what do you say, cowboy, but I do need to take a human moment first."

I went to turn, to give him a quick kiss, "Ooowwwww," I practically screamed!

"Darlin', what's wrong? Did I hurt you, please, baby, are you ok," he asked with concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm alright, and no. You didn't hurt me. I think that I may have found muscles, in my body, that I didn't know I had. My whole body is sore. I feel like I was beaten, everywhere," I quietly told him.

I didn't want him to worry, so, I quickly added," I think that I had too much exercise yesterday, sometimes, the vampire in me, does things that my human body is just not ready for."

"I'm sor. . ."he started, but I quickly cut him off.

"Don't you dare, don't you dare, fucking say you're sorry! I'm damn sure not sorry. I enjoyed everything! I would do it all over again, in a heartbeat. I will probably do it again today, once I've had time to soak in a hot bath," I yelled.

"I don't think so, darlin'. I'm not touching you until your body has had time to recuperate. I don't want you in pain, because of me," he told me, sternly.

"Well, cowboy, then I think that I may just have to convince you otherwise," I told him, it was my turn to smirk at him!

"I doubt that you will be able to convince me. I'm not going to hurt you more, please, surely. You can wait one day," he said, looking dead serious.

I just smiled, wickedly at him. He groaned, "you are going to kill me, woman!"

I went to get up, and found myself being carried into the bathroom. He started the water, after it was filled up with enough with water, he started the Jacuzzi.

When it was filled up enough, he then, gently picked me up and put me in the tub. "Now, while you are soaking, I'm going to go make your breakfast. After you have eaten, we need to talk. What would you like to eat?"

"Surprise me," I told him.

The hot water felt so good. I could feel most of my muscles relaxing. I realized how lucky I was to have such a wonderful, man, who wanted to take care of me. It made me want to let him know, how much I cared about him.

I sent him all of my love. It wasn't but a few seconds later. I felt his for me. Glad I was sitting down, the feelings were overwhelming. I could get used to this.

After about forty five minutes, he came into the bathroom, "are you ready to get out and eat?"

"Yes, I'm starving. It smells delicious. I feel like I could eat a horse," I told him.

"Now why would you want to eat a horse. They don't taste as good as a bear, or mountain lions," he teased.

"You ate a fucking horse," I asked.

He laughed, "no, they don't smell like they would taste all that good."

I splashed him! He was only wearing his jeans, so I made sure to get them wet. I kept splashing him until his pants, were soaked.

He glared at me. Then he told me, "darlin', you are so, going to pay for that!"

He took off his pants, of course he was commando! He then slipped into the tub. I had him right where I wanted him! This was going to be easier than I thought.

He sat behind me, pulled me close to his chest, held me around my shoulders with one arm. He then, started to tickle me, while asking me if I thought it was funny to get him all wet.

I was laughing so hard. Finally, he stopped and told me I needed to get out, so I could eat. I told him, that I would but, first, I needed to kiss him.

I turned my body, and then straddled him. I made very sure, that certain body parts were touching, then I wiggled my hips. He groaned, "darlin', you need to stop, I told you I wasn't touching you until your body is feeling better."

I growled, "It is feeling much better!"

I started kissing him, while grinding my pussy against his erection. Then, I started to place open mouth kisses on his neck, chest, and shoulders.

"Baby, you are not playing fair. If you don't stop, I won't be able to," he whispered, his voice husky, deep.

"Promise? I don't want you to stop," I whispered in his ear.

He was up and out of the tub, before I could blink. He helped me out and dried me off. Then he quickly carried me to the bed. He was slow, and very gentle. We both took our time, and it was actually, relaxing.

Afterward, my breakfast was cold. He heated it up for me, and we talked a little while I ate. We cleaned up, then we both went to the couch. We both knew that it was time to talk.

My body wanted other things, but I made myself stay put. We sat next to each other, so that we faced each other, held hands, and started talking about some of the things going on.

"The strange vampire that has been hanging around the house, do you know who he is, are you sure he is working for Maria," Jasper asked.

"I have never seen him, and I have no clue if he is with Maria. I assume that he is."I told him.

"For now, we will say that he is working for her. There are some things that we need to figure out," he said.

"I noticed, that twice, when you either were near him, or I was near you, when you felt him, I could feel his emotion, that is something we may need to try to work with," he stated.

"Why do you think that is," I asked him.

"I'm thinking that either he is just lucky and has been able to stay out of mine, and Edward's radar, so to speak, or it could be. He has some kind of power," he said.

"Well, you said that you felt his emotions a couple of times, what was going on when it happened," I asked him.

"The first time, was when he was in your room, when he knocked you out, the second time was when you said that you could feel him. The first time I felt him, it was strong, the second time it was just a flash," he said thoughtfully.

"Do you think that it could possibly have something to do with my shield? Like maybe, it keeps him from using his power," I asked, hoping that I could be useful in maybe finding him.

"I don't know, what I do know is that you are not, going to get involved in trying to find this vampire," he stated.

"If I could hel. . ."I started.

He cut me off by roaring, "NO, you will stay out of this. It is no longer between you, Ethan and Maria, now. It is my fight. Maria, has fucking messed with the wrong vampire. You are my mate, when we found each other, your fight became mine."

He continued, "Especially, since the whole reason she is after you, is because she wants me. I will stop her, and you, my mate, will stay safe."

"Yes, you are my mate. I will protect you, and you will always stay safe. I cannot live, if something were to happen to you," his harsh voice turning softer as he spoke the last part.

When he looked at me, I could see his eyes were black. I wasn't really afraid. I probably should have been. I was looking at one of the most feared vampires, the Major!

I understood that the Major, was a part of Jasper's personality. It was who he became when there was danger, or a threat of danger. Even vampires knew not to mess with him, except maybe for Maria.

I knew that there would come a day that the Major would come out and need to claim his mate. I just hope that I would be ready for him. I could understand why he needed to claim me even though Jasper had already done so.

He was the, warrior, the part of him that could fight, kill, and win, while never even flinching! While he was part of Jasper, he was also separate; he needed to know that I belonged to him too. For the most part, he was the one that came out, to deal with the likes of Maria, and the strange vampire, watching us.

I was sitting, thinking about the Major, when I realized that Jasper was trying to get my attention, "darlin' are you alright? I'm sorry if I frightened you."

"No, you didn't frighten me. I was just thinking, about all of the stuff that has been going on, and I was thinking about what was going to happen, next," I told him.

"How about you stop the thinking and let's get you fed. After you eat, would you like to go for a walk," he asked.

"Yeah, that sounds good, but you have to promise me something," I smiled.

"Why do I get the feeling. I might be sorry for agreeing to this," he laughed.

"I want to ask you something first. Just please answer the question honestly, don't try to spare my feelings," I told him.

"I told you that I would always be honest with you. What is your question," he asked?

"I know that the Major was out a few minutes ago, and we have made love several times. Why, hasn't the Major, claimed me? I know that for you, because of your history, you have this persona inside you that you keep locked up. It's my understanding that he needs to claim me, too, why haven't you allowed him to do so," I asked nervously?

I think that I might have sent Jasper into shock! He just sat there, frozen. His eyes were wide. After about a minute or two of him like that, he finally broke out of it, "I don't want to hurt you, he, would, not be gentle. Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering. I have another question, actually, more like two more," I was really nervous, now.

"Go ahead," he said.

"Wouldn't it be better to "let", him, come out, and claim me, then to have him come out, when I was in danger? I'm not sure if I'm asking this right, maybe, you could let him out long enough to claim me, when there hasn't been any immediate danger," I said softly.

"Well, I hadn't thought of that. I don't know if that would "tame" him or not. He would still want to be in total control," he said thoughtfully.

"My other question is, what is he like? I mean I know about him, but, without the threat, the danger, what is he like," I needed to know if I was going to try, to do, what I was considering.

"You ask strange questions, for a human, but, to answer your question. He IS me. The best way to say it, is, he is me, just add authority. He is fearless, demands to be in charge, is not afraid to kill when necessary, will not take no for an answer. He is ruthless, vicious, and will do whatever it takes, to get the job done. Even if it means killing, most of the time, all it took for other vampires to submit to him was for him to remove his shirt. The scars scream, danger, to other vampires," he said with mixed emotions.

He continued, "Why are you asking these questions? I hope you are not thinking, of doing, what I'm beginning to suspect, you are wanting to do."

"Well, wouldn't it be better to let him do what needs to be done, in a peaceful setting. Think for just a minute, would it be better to let him out, now, then to wait until he has to come out because I was in danger, or hurt? He would be angry, right," I told him.

I went on, "something else to think about, would it be better for him, if I was attacked again, if he had already claimed me, or for him to have been denied, and then do it then?"

"Yeah, but I'm not too sure that you could handle him in any situation. You do have an excellent idea. I'm just not sure that I could trust him not to hurt you," he whispered.

"I want to try; I don't think that he would hurt me that badly. I think that I would feel better about it, if, he claimed me now, while it's peaceful. Please, I'm not above begging you, if I need to," I said with confidence.

I looked him straight in the eye. He looked, sad, and like he was in pain. I smiled, gently kissed him, "please," was all I said.

Major POV

Finally, I'm going to be able to claim my mate. It's about fucking time! I have been waiting to claim her, but I wasn't allowed to for fear that I would hurt her. Ha! Like I could hurt my mate, sure, I like it a little rough, but I understand. My mate is human. I will just have to make sure that I don't bite her, when I'm fucking her.

She will need to understand. I'm in charge, and once I have claimed her, she will be mine. No one will be able to lay a hand on her, if they do, they will die. Unfortunately, I will have to try to control myself, to keep from killing family that might touch her.

I look over at her. She is beautiful. Her hair is down, and has waves in it. Her eyes, are looking straight into my own, she is wearing, a tank top, no bra, with Capri pants.

I reach over to touch her face, as I place my hand on her cheek; she nuzzles into the palm of my hand. I must be careful, she is fragile, but the need I have for her, is overwhelming.

I picked her up and run into the bedroom. I gently place her on the bed, "Isabella, strip, now!"

She does as told, and is quickly naked before me. She is breathtaking! I leaned down to kiss her, I know that I'm being a little rough with her, she whimpered.

I lie down next to her; I touch her face, as I nuzzle her neck. I kissed her neck, while I'm moving my hand to caress her breasts. I roughly, pinch her nipples. She moans, and arches her body so that she pushes her breasts further into my hand.

I move down her body, licking, sucking, and nipping. When I get to her breasts, I suck one nipple into my mouth. I flick my tongue, while I pinch and pull the other nipple.

Then, I move my hand down to her hot pussy. She was wet, "I did this to you, do you like what I'm doing to you?"

She nodded her head. I was having none of that, "I asked you a question, Isabella. I expect you to answer me!"

"Yes," she said.

"Yes what? Tell me what you like, what am I doing to make you wet? Answer me," I told her, knowing I would get what I wanted out of her.

"You are touching me, licking, and sucking my breast. It feels so good," she said shyly.

I moved my fingers through her folds, as I touch her clit; she bucks her hips, into my hand. I pull my hand back and move so that I am kneeling down beside her hips.

She whimpered. I smile, knowing that she wants me as much as I want her. "Spread your legs, as far as you can, for me," I ordered her.

Again, she does as told. I move to sit between her legs. She is so beautiful. Her pussy is so wet. I pull her hips down into my face, and inhale. Her smell is intoxicating. It smells better than any blood I have ever smelled.

I finally, lick her slit; shoving my tongue in as far as I can get it. I reach up and start rubbing her clit; she again bucks her hips into my face. She has entangled her fingers into my hair and is pulling, trying to get my face closer to her pussy.

It's only a matter of a minute, before; she is almost ready to cum. I tell her, "cum for me, my beautiful girl, let me taste your heavenly juices, cum in my mouth."

She does, while screaming. I can't wait; I climb up her body and shove my dick inside her, while she is still on the high from her orgasm. She screams again.

I start pounding; it's not hard enough to really hurt her. I can feel her start another orgasm. She grabs my arms and tries to dig her nails into them.

She is so fucking hot. The feel of her tight wet pussy, is making it hard for me to hold back my own orgasm. When she starts another orgasm, I let go of my own, with a roar, I spill my cold seed in her.

I wasn't done; I quickly pull out of her, flip her over, place her on her hands and knees, and plunge back into her. I grab her hips, and start pounding into her.

After a few more seconds, I feel she is about to have another orgasm, just as she does, I reach down and grab her breasts, pulling and pinching. Again, she screams my name.

As she is coming down from her orgasm, I grab her by her arms and pull her body up, I then reach around and start making circles on her clit. I do this until she has another orgasm.

Then, I moved her again. This time I lie on my back, and place her so that she is straddling me, I shove my dick back inside her. I grab her hips and move her up and down on my dick.

I love this position. I can watch her breasts bounce, and reach her clit. I am still in control, even in this position. I start slamming into her a little harder. She whimpers.

Again, I decide to change positions. I move so that I am sitting with her sitting on my dick. I continue to move her up and down, but, now. I can lick and suck on her breasts at the same time. Again, she arches her back, so that her breasts are closer to my mouth.

I think that I should probably finish, as she is looking tired. I flip her over on her back, grab her hips again, and start pounding into her again. I feel my orgasm building, "I'm about to cum, cum with me!"

I start pounding even harder, she comes, and as she does my own orgasm is released. It is the most powerful one I have ever felt, I lean down to her shoulder, just as my seed is released into her body, I bite down on her flesh just below the top of her shoulder.

Then, I let out a roar, letting all who can hear know that she is MINE, forever!
