Chapter 28

The next day we spent wandering around the Alamo. Jasper taught me so much history and knew so much about this part of the country; he was an incredible historian. He even told me about some of the flaws in our American history. The next day he rented a small plane and we flew all over the Texas country side. He told me all about where different battles were fought while I took pictures of the fields and area. Jasper brought it all to life for me and I felt like I could actually see it happening from his descriptions. I finally set the camera down and unbuckled my seat belt. I easily reached over and kissed him and said, "Thank you for bringing Texas's rich history to life for me."

"You're welcome, Darlin'!"

That night we went to the movies and saw a romantic comedy. As we walked back to our hotel along the River walk hand in hand, it started pouring down rain on us. I immediately was in Jasper's arms racing back for the hotel as quickly as humans should be going. I was sent straight to the shower. Jasper quickly joined me and wrapped his arms around me. I simply asked, "Cranked the heat?"

"Yes, my human damsel."

We enjoyed one another's body's heat and the warmth of the shower falling around me. I felt so close to Jasper already. I knew I loved him; but I just needed time to still come to grip with everything I had been through. I knew I never wanted to be away from him and maybe when I had gotten use to all these feelings running through me I would be ready to make love to him and complete our mating bond. However, for right now, I slid down his body and made my amazing knight come for me. In return, I learned about being eaten out in bed. Jasper kissed me goodnight and I finally asked, "I'm assuming that is your way of going down on me!"

"Yes, Darlin', please don't let Esme or Carlisle hear you saying that out loud."

"I'll try not to; at least we can talk in our heads."

"Hell, yeah and I'll love to teach you to talk dirty to me."

"Good night, my dirty knight." Jasper pulled me in close to him and I fell asleep remembering how it felt as he kissed his way down to my lower lips and started exploring them with his lips and fingers. He was sexy and amazing yet caring at the same time.

The next morning, Jasper nudged me awake and said, "It's time to head to the Grand Canyon. Remember dress in layers, the plane will be fine; however the canyon will be cold and they are expecting snow."

We took a small detour. Jasper surprised me landing at Peter and Charlotte's ranch so that I could see it even though no one was there. He introduced me to some of his horses. They were beautiful, amazing and strong; something I was happy to finally be. After a couple hours on the ground and a promise to return soon, we got back in the plane and headed the rest of the way to the Grand Canyon.

After we checked into the Grand Canyon resort, Jasper said, "Come on, Darlin'. Let's go down to the restaurant for dinner." We were sitting in a dark corner and my back was to the room.

Suddenly, I shuddered like I got a chill. Jasper said, "Bella, are you okay? Your emotions went out of whack for a minute or two and now you're on edge."

"I don't know; I suddenly felt like someone was piercing my back with daggers. Jasper, it still feels like they are here; but they aren't staring anymore."

"Bella, pull your shield around you tight."

"But you get mad at me; and tell me that you can't feel me."

"It's okay. I'm right here this time; I want to see if your shield makes you feel more comfortable."

"Alright," and I tightened it around me like Jasper had taught me.

"Jasper?" I asked in my head. "Can you read any strange emotions coming off people aiming at us?"

"No Darlin'. I can't feel anything directed at us. I'm sorry; I wish Edward was here. Well, do you feel any better?"

"Yes, I can only feel small nudges against it."

Then out loud Jasper asked, "How about let's get back to our room? I'll order you a chocolate mousse for dessert to be delivered to our room and hopefully the stabbing affects will go away once back in our room."

"You're so very kind my sexy boyfriend."

"Keep your shield wrapped around you as we head to our room." Jasper had his arm wrapped around my waist keeping me very close as we started the long walk back to our room through the corridors of the hotel. I felt more nudges. Finally, we made it back to our room; Jasper lays me down on the bed and said, "Will you be okay if I go see what I can find out and try to do some tracking?"

I then look up at Jasper with tears in my eyes and said, "No, I don't want the Major right now; I need Jasper. Please don't leave me!" I rolled into the fetal position on the bed to protect myself.

Before I could blink, I was in his arms on our bed. Jasper wrapped me up in the covers and then cuddled in next to me. "Please close your eyes, Darlin'. No one is going to get to you. Now, no more tears and go to sleep. There's no place else I would rather be."

"Thank you for making me feel safe, Jasper and Major."

I quickly relaxed and fell asleep; I was pretty sure that Jasper had helped me with that.

Once my angel was asleep with some of my help, I called the family. "Hi, Esme. I'm sorry I'm calling so late; but who is home?"

"Everyone, but Emmett."

"Can you get everyone together and put me on speaker phone? I need to talk to you about Bella. And before you ask, yes she's fine and looking forward to your visit tomorrow night. She's asleep in my arms right now."

Soon I heard Rose and Carlisle asking, "What is it, Jasper? Is Bella really okay?"

"Physically, yes. But, you know, I have been working with her on her shield."

"Yes, we know," Carlisle said. "It's quite impressive for a human to have such control over it."

"Well, tonight at dinner all of a sudden her emotions went haywire. When I asked her about it, she said, 'It was like someone was shooting daggers into her back and then it loosened up some.' I told her to pull her shield around her. She did and she said the jabs were still there once in a while, but her shield was helping. We decided to go back to our room. When I told her, I was going to try and track what might be causing it; she begged me to stay with her through tears."

Edward said, "You did, right?"

"Of course, but Edward, for once, I wish I was you and could tell what people were thinking around us. I couldn't find any odd emotions out there particularly pointed at Bella or myself. Any suggestions?"

"Keep her safe and move on quickly. She can keep her shield up, too."

"Maybe Carlisle and I will be a distraction for her," Esme added.

"I hope so. Alice, do you see anything?"

"No, I just know that the two of you aren't finished with your journey yet. There are still bumps and curves ahead for you."

"Alice, is she better tomorrow after a good night sleep?"

"Yes, she is better tomorrow."

"I'm glad because I want her parents to see how happy she is almost all the time."

"Alright, I'll see most of you close to Christmas when I bring my mate home. Carlisle and Esme, we'll see you tomorrow. Alice, if you get anything definite, call me or text me?"

"Of course," Alice said.

"Take care of my sister," Rose said.

Carlisle added, "We'll see you tomorrow, son. Remember, I want some of my daughter's blood."

"I know, Dad."

Around three in the morning, I am crying and fidgeting in my dreams. Someone is trying to take Jasper away from me. I say that no he is mine and I punch someone trying to take Jasper away from me. I hurt my hand and I wake up saying, "No give me Jasper back."

"Darlin', wake up."

I feel kisses on my neck and Jasper's in my head, "What is it, Darlin'? You're okay; I'm fine."

"Ouch, Jasper, my hand hurts."

"I'm sorry; you punched me in your nightmare." He gently just held my hand to cool it off and ease the pain. "Darlin', I'm here and no one's going to take me away from you. Remember, I'm the Major and I won't let that happen."

"Jasper, will you help me go back to sleep?"

"Only if you promise to think about me and your stuffed teddy bear as you fall asleep."

"Of course," and I kissed his cheek. He pulled me in close, kept his hand on my punching fist to keep it cool, and make it feel better. I slept until 10 thanks to having the nightmare waking me in the middle of the night and then Jasper helping me get back to sleep.

I awoke refreshed and relaxed. Jasper had a waffle and fruit plate waiting for me. After I finished it, I looked at Jasper and said, "Thank you for taking care of me last night. I think I'm going to go take a shower." I took my shower and as I came out of the bathroom, Jasper was getting dressed in the bedroom. I said, "Jasper." He turned to look at me. I walked up to him and I reached like I was going to help him with his jeans. Instead, I pushed them down; his manhood sprang to attention right in front of me. I slipped down onto my knees and I started first with my lips hovering over his head and my hand around the rest of him. Then I started licking and sucking. Jasper's hands were in my hair just holding me.

Suddenly, Jasper's thought popped into my head. "Bella, why are you doing this? Believe me, I'm not complaining." I started sucking harder on his manhood and he groaned, "Bella."

"Jasper," and I pulled back a little. I looked straight up at him through my eye lashes. "I just wanted to thank you for this trip. You looked so hard in your jeans and I couldn't resist, do you want me to stop?"

"No, Darlin'! This is incredible and I'm so glad to have you."

"Jasper, do you mind shutting up and letting the both of us finish enjoying this?"

I finally got into the perfect pace and Jasper said, "Bella, I'm about to. Are you sure?"

"Shut up, Jasper. I want to taste you as often as I can. I love knowing that this makes you feel good and it makes me feel like a woman that knows how to please her man."

He came in my mouth and I greedily sucked it down. At that moment, I felt us get even closer with our soles. It was like each time we got closer sexually; we were getting closer to be being true soul mates.

Jasper had me in his arms with my robe falling open. Jasper was back in my head and said, "Now, it's my turn."

"But Jasper, I just wanted to thank you."

"I know. Now Darlin', turning your body over to me is yet one more way to thank me."

"Jasper," I gulped as he slipped my robe open. He easily started to touch and explore my body under his solid cool fingers.

Then he captured my lips and kissed me as he started exploring my body. Once my robe was completely pushed away and he had full access to my body, Jasper grabbed my panties and they ripped away so quickly in his hold. It was like me ripping tissue paper. Once my panties were gone, Jasper fingers trailed down to my womanhood.

Jasper purred into my ear and said, "You are always so wet and hot for me."

"Yes, I love how you make me feel. Now, would you find that spot? Ohhh, my mate. I love that….." I came with his fingers inside of me. As I came down from the orgasm, he slipped his fingers from me and licked them clean. He said, "You are the most delicious thing I have ever tasted."

I turned red and then said in his head, "No, I think you are the most delicious thing I have ever tasted."

"How about another shower Darlin' before our parents get here and then maybe a little outdoor exploring?"

"Sounds perfect, my amazing boyfriend."

In the shower, Jasper made me come again before we finally finished getting clean and out of the shower. As we were about to leave the room, Jasper said, "Pull your shield back around you for protection please. By the way, the glow on your face is incredible; but don't hit me for that comment because it will hurt you," and he led me from our room before I could answer him.
