AN: SO two updates in one week this I hope makes up for my missed update. This story may only have about 5-6 more chapters and a lengthy epilogue but don't hang you hat on that as I love this story. Thank you all for you comments and reviews I write many of them back I try to get them all but if I have missed you I am so sorry. As always Stephanie Meyer owns all of Twilight and all publicly recognizable characters I own nothing but a pair of glasses :).
Bella POV
"JASPER" I all but squeal at him as I launch myself at him and wrap my arms around his neck landing on top of him.
"Alright then now that there are happy screams and no one is dying I will go." Alec says rather cheekily.
"Yes Alec thank you she is safe." Jasper says as he pulls me down to him. His lips on mine is just what I have been missing and I am so happy to have him in this moment that I feel the tears as they streak down my cheeks.
Wiping the tears away Jasper pulls back kissing my forehead and my nose. Looking down at me with his piercing baby blue eyes.
"Don't cry sweetheart I am here and we are together no plans on changing that anytime soon." Jasper says as he kisses me tenderly again. I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heart beat. I wake the next morning in the same position with a crick in my neck and a back ache but I am still cheek down on the sexiest slab of skin I have ever seen. I scraped single line tattoo is in my line of sight. "Vivi la vita al massimo mia bella" (Live life to the fullest my beautiful) I kiss his chest and go to get out of bed. When his strong arm wraps around me and pulls me back down I giggle.
"Don't move sweetheart I am not ready yet." Jasper says barely opening his mouth and not opening his eyes. I know the feeling waking up next to him after weeks apart is bliss. The next time I wake up I am sweating alone in bed sitting up quickly I look around the room to see Jasper's jacket thrown over the vanity chair and I know that he is really here. Getting out of bed I grab my clothes for the day and head for the shower. Setting my clothes on the counter I turn music on my phone and turn the water on letting the shower steam up before stepping I think about what will happen now, Eleazar is gone, my family is moving to Chicago and now where do we go.
Jasper slides in behind me wrapping his arms my middle and bending to kiss my neck. I know that he is here with me now and his tattoo rings true we lead a violent and very unpredictable life so we should live it to the fullest. Turning into his body I lift up on my toes and kiss him softly and moan when he runs his tongue along my bottom lip. "Please" I whisper out knowing that Jasper would know exactly what I want. Running his hands down my back to my thighs he grabs the back of them and picks me up off the floor and pressing me against then wall with my legs wrapped around his torso.I grind myself against his hard cock that is pinned between us hard and he is obviously as excited to be naked with me as I am with him.
"I hope that you want hard and fast darlin cause I don't think I can go slow right now." Jasper groans against my ear and then biting my ear. I moan hoping that he will understand my answer I lean my head back against the wall while Jasper kisses and nips across my neck and down to my breasts sucking my nipple into his mouth and biting down. "Oh god yes" I moan out ready to cum already. "I want an answer darlin." Jasper is looking at me with such love that it almost hurts.
"Yes, Jasper please I need to feel you inside of me." I say and slam my lips into his. Jasper pulls back just enough to slide himself deftly inside of me I hear his moan against my lips. He pulled out and slammed in deep making me dig my nails hard in his back. "Damn it woman you feel so good." He says with his face in my neck I sigh as I am sure that is all my mind can conjure up in the moment. Jasper pulls back and runs his hand around my thigh and between us and starts to rub circles on my clit making my hips jerk and Jasper pulls slowly out of me and ram back in so hard it almost hurts. "Ahhhhh" I scream out as my orgasm rips through me digging my heals into Jasper's ass trying to push him in me further. Wrapping his hand in my hair and pulling my face to his and smashing our lips together and biting my lip while pumping into me at a rate that seamed inhuman. Feeling my husband cum inside me was something I had missed terribly and now that it was over and all I could hear was the rush of blood in my ears.
"I love you Isabella and I don't plan to ever be away from you like that again I thought that I would lose my mind. We will be flying to Italy tomorrow so today we need to get you packed up." Jasper tells me and lets me go to reach back and grab the shampoo as I nod in accnoledgement to his statement. I knew that this trip to Italy was inevitable but I also know that this trip was anything but a leisure trip for us. But I would get to see my brother and Val so I guess it couldn't be all that bad however it did mean being separated from Jasper again for a few days. Jasper washed my hair and body with extra care than was normal for him I know that he was showing his love in every movement of his hands.
Sitting at the breakfast bar in Papa's kitchen later that day while men in movers jumpsuits moved through the house packing it away Max, Mary and the babe are heading to Chicago as soon as we take off to Italy they will be in our home until their things get there which is fine will be in Italy at least a week. Papa kissing my head rouses my from my inter musings and he walks around the island and smiles at me.
"Well, sweetheart I will be sad to say good bye to New York but with my children and grandchildren moving to Chicago I think it is time for me to be with my family more." Papa says and sets his styrofoam cup down on the counter and smiles up at me. I never thought when I moved to Chicago for collage that at anytime my family would move there as well. But with papa giving up the business to Rone in Italy and his NY contacts to the second here, I guess that there was nothing left here with Max and Mary moving to Chicago. Max was taking up a position in Cullen & Whitlock so that Edward and Jasper could deal with other business. Mary would be helping Esme and I on the private organization side of the company.
"I know papa and don't think that I didn't hear the plural you just used." I wink and slide from the chair to go search for my husband.
Jasper POV
The flight from Chicago to New York was a relatively short one, but when you had been away from the woman who happens to wake your world spin it felt like forever. But when I got to Chicago we had to pack and get going I had talked to the Fathers in Italy before I got on the plane and I had 48 hours to be in Italy for my tasking before they would come get me and no body wanted that. They had given me leeway to take care of my uncle and my father couldn't be bothered to do anything except drink and puke so asking him for anything was like pissing in the wind.
"Jasper son it is very good to see you." Charlie says as I step off the plane start down the steps. I shake his hand as soon as I am close enough.
"I am glad to finally be here Charlie. I cant wait to see my wife." I say to him smiling thinking of my wife who should be asleep by now.
"Yes, I will take you to her now but your message said that you would like to talk so I came alone much to the dismay of all of my men but they forget that this old man is just as dangerous alone." Charlie says turning toward the car and walking away from me and I follow. We get in the front of the car I traveled with just the one bag.
"Charlie what I wanted to discuss was that I plan to offer Max a job in my company and essentially let him take over day to day operations for the most part he knows business and is amazing at it, however that means them moving to Chicago and before I make him this offer I wanted to run it by you. I would like for you to come live in Chicago with your family and help me protect them and help me run my family. Sherman is going to kill himself with the liquor he doesn't know which way is up now and I need someone as an advisor someone other than Carlisle to run things by. He is a great man but he is Edwards father not mine and you are not mine either but you are my family and we want the same things."
Charlie nods the entire time I am talking but does not look as me his head is turned gazing out the window looking as though he fully focussed on the road but I know better Isabella is just like him in the quiet processing of ever word. So I leave him with his thoughts he will talk when he is ready.
"Jasper, I would like to live near my only daughter and my grandchildren. I also am humbled that you would ask me to take your fathers place as your advisor. That being said you must go to Italy and ask this of the Fathers this is truly not my choice they are the deciding vote, I however have no objections. As for Sherman I am sorry that he cannot pull himself away from the bottle and be the man that you need him to be Jasper but try not to hold that against him. Think if you and Bella are married another 40 years and then someone rips her away from you."
Charles words about Bella rip into my heart and I know that when I get home I have to contact my father.I have known Charlie along time an I know that he is not one for many words and not one to be sentimental but I know that this decision is a good one. I wanted Alec here so that he could know what was going on and to tell him how much I appreciated his dedication.
As I walk into the house I feel butterflies welling up and I realize that I am nervous about seeing my wife and chuckle a bit to myself. Charlie pats me on the shoulder and walks around me to his room as I start up the stairs. Opening her door slowly I am shocked to see my wife's tiny frame curled up into a ball in the midlle of then bed. She looks so small and I know from what Alec has said that she has lost weight and is not taking very good care of herself but I didn't expect her to be so small. Undressing I take off my jacket and throw it over a chair and my pants and shirt beside her night table and climb in bed behind her. I am woken with a piercing scream and thump I sit straight up thinking something is wrong the light flips on blinding me and there is Alec weapon drawn.
"JASPER" Bella all but screams at me sounding almost hysterical launching herself at me.
"Alright then now that there are happy screams and no one is dying I will go." Alec says in a very sarcastic tone.
"Yes, Alec thank you she is safe." I say to him as he turns from the room flipping the lights off on his way out. I pull down to me kissing her until I cant breathe I have missed her. I pull back and she is crying. I wipe her tears away and kiss all over that beautiful face of hers.
"Don't cry sweetheart I am here and we are together no plans on changing that anytime soon." I say to her knowing that aside from Italy but it will not be a real separation nothing like the weeks apart this time. The feeling of her laying against me where I can feel her warmth and breath across my bare chest lulls me into the best sleep that I have had in a long time. I am awoken by movement and it only takes me a few seconds to realize that she is here with me.
After a glorious shower with rather delicious physicality I am sitting in Charlie's study with Max. He looks uncomfortable sitting across from me.
"Max I have an offer for you. I would like for you to come to Chicago and work as my operations manager for Cullen & Whitlock. Edward and I have already agreed on this it will give us both time to run our families and spend more time at home as well. I know you have a newborn and this is strictly a 9-5 job some traveling but Mary and Roma can always go with you." I say to him hoping that he can agree and quickly because I would like an answer now so that we can get this move started. Isabella loved her family and when we started our family she would want them around and I needed someone in my company that would know what I needed from them and that I could trust Max was that person.
"Jasper this is an offer that you know I cannot refuse my sister being here this last few weeks has made Mary and I realize how great it would be to have our family involved in Roma's life and care. Isabella, Rome and I grew up very close to our cousins and I would like that for our children as well. So I accept brother I would be happy to join your company." Max says and stands to leave I stand and go to shake his hand and he hugs me. I am shocked to say the least but his words have moved me my sister and I grew up alone for the most part we didn't have the big family.
Finding my wife is my only thought as I exit Charlie's study, I just want to wrap my arms around her and bury my nose in her hair.
