Jasper's POV

The next few days fell into a routine. Guard Bella at school, come home, watch as she did her homework and cooked dinner. I couldn't take my eyes off of my beautiful Bella.

I still hadn't heard from Peter. It was always in the back of my mind. I'd tried to call him a few times but it just went to voicemail. I was convinced that they were fine but my thirst was increasing. I would need to go hunt, and soon.

Bella was sleeping. This was the best time to go. I vowed that it would be a quick trip. I ran from the house and found a wolf. Draining it quickly I hurried back to Bella's room. She was sitting up in bed.

"Where did you go, Jasper?" She asked. "I woke up and you weren't here."

"I just had to run and hunt little one. I've been gone for less than an hour."

"Can you come sleep with me?" she asked pulling the blankets up and away from her body.

"Of course Bella, if you're sure."

"I want you close to me."

I cuddled into the narrow bed with her and she fell asleep quickly. It was all I could do to keep from waking her again and ravishing her warm, welcoming body but I stayed still. The drive to make Bella mine was increasing daily as was the urge to confess my feelings. I had fallen in love with my Bella.

As if she could read my mind she moaned in her sleep. "Love you, Jasper," she said. That was it for my self-control. My Bella loved me and I loved her. I would show her just how much. Luckily her father had gone again as he continued to do so there was nothing stopping us. I stroked her hair.

"Bella, my darling, wake up."

When she first woke I felt her body tense but I continued to stroke her hair. "My Bella," I told her as I stroked her hair. "I love you."

Her arms were around me in an instant and she pulled me tight against her. "I love you too Jasper. So much."

Her lips on mine built the fire already flowing through me. "Let me show you how much I love you my Bella. Will you be mine? All mine? Will you let me claim you."

"Yes, Jasper. I'm already yours."

Our kisses built the fire in me into an inferno. I ripped her shirt when I tried to take it off of her.

"It's ok Jasper," she whispered as I gently removed it the rest of the way.

She was undoing the buttons on my shirt with a fumbling speed. I just pulled it over my head and pulled my body flush against hers. We both moaned from the contact.

I reached down and slid her jogging pants down her legs and then slipped off my own jeans. "Are you sure?" I asked her. "Are you ready for me?"

"Please Jasper, don't make me wait any longer to have you. Show me who I belong to."

I ran my hands over her breasts and sucked one nipple into my mouth. She arched against me. I kissed lower to her stomach and then moved between her legs. They fell open for me and I sucked on her little clit. Pushing two fingers into her tight heat I pumped them in and out until she clamped down on me and cried out. Removing my fingers I settled myself in the haven between her thighs and entered her just a little. She cried out. I slid inside her slowly, stretching her until I came to her barrier.

"Breathe," I told her and when she did I purged her of her innocence seating myself deep inside her. "Tell me when I can move Darling," I whispered. She moved against me. I strained to keep myself still.

A moment later she nodded and I moved slowly but deeply in her. I was claiming my mate. She was mine. When she grabbed my ass and pulled me deep inside her I stopped being quite so gentle. Keeping in mind that she was human I pounded into her as hard as I dared. I felt her sheath clamp down on me and trying to milk me. Two orgasms. I was going to show my Bella the pleasures between mates. I wasn't willing to finish yet.

Bella's POV

He was filling me, stretching me and it felt so good. It burned a little but that was nothing compared to the pleasure of the experience. I shouted his name as I came undone again at his hands but he kept going.

I could feel him pumping deep inside me and I pulled him even closer, even deeper. It felt like he was completing me as if we were two parts of a whole that had lived separate lives until this moment.

He angled my hips and seated himself fully in me and I could feel him let go deep inside me, feeling his release made me come again. I cried out his name and held him tightly.

When he pulled out of me I felt as if I had lost something vital.

"Sleep, my love," he told me, and as I relaxed, still naked, in his arms I finally felt at peace. As I fell deeper into slumber, I heard Jasper whisper, "You're mine now."

I smiled and fell into a dreamless sleep.

When I woke the next morning it was hard to believe it hadn't all been a dream but I was still naked and still in Jasper's arms. It had been real. It had been perfect. It was everything.

I went and got my shower and put on fresh clothes. Unfortunately, it was another school day. I didn't like school anymore. It kept me away from my Jasper.

I went through the expected motions just passing the time as I waited till I could be in Jasper's arms again. Finally, school was finished and Jasper met me at my truck.

"I thought you could drive us today," he said.

I smiled as I got into the driver's side and he got into the passenger seat and drove us home.

The phone was ringing as we got out of the truck and I ran inside to get it.

It was Peter, finally calling for Jasper.

While they talked I started dinner. I could only hear Jasper's side of the telephone call and from what I heard they weren't making any real progress. I understood that was the case when he directed them to feed, then return home.

After a quick look at the ingredients, I had to work with I decided to make enchiladas. The work would keep my hands busy while Jasper explained what had happened with Peter and Charlotte. I was just relieved they really were safe.

When dinner was finished I wrapped the leftovers for Charlie. He might come home and want something to eat.

We went upstairs and I did my homework. More time that school took away from Jasper. I hurried as best as I was able.

I was eager for Char and Peter to return so we could talk about whether it was necessary that we stay here or could we go somewhere far away, just the four of us. We could escape Victoria and her plans. Let the Volturi sort her out, it wasn't necessary for me to be involved.

When my homework was finished and packed safely away in my bag Jasper pulled me into his lap. I lay my head on his shoulder and my body molded it's self to his as I put my arms around him.

Peter's POV

It was safe to return now. Jasper had claimed his little darlin'. We'd had no luck at tracking Victoria. We'd killed her newborns and she had never returned. She had escaped again, but there were no wild newborns plaguing Seattle. True, she would probably just make more but that was hardly our problem.

Char and I were eager to return to Jasper and Bella. I knew they were both convinced that leaving was the best option and I wasn't totally opposed. We could simply leave this problem behind and take Bella somewhere she would be safe.

The Volturi would eventually come and rid the world of Victoria and we could be safely out of the way of their visit. I knew we would talk about it once we returned. Sometimes my gift was helpful.

We found two men about to rape a young woman. She ran as soon as we attacked and we drained them and tossed them into a dumpster before setting it alight.

We flitted into the night and were on our way back to our friends.
