Freedom of Choice 8

Growling out, "Oh, I need a drink". Stretching her hands above her head, she opened her eyes, taking in the room around her, she didn't recognize it. Sitting up, she was taking an inventory of her surroundings. Looking at the walls, one had a giant bookcase completely filled with books. Looking down she noticed that she wasn't on a bed, but a couch, it was really good leather, in a deep chocolate, it was worn, but it was comfortable. Moving on from the couch, she saw the open door to the bathroom. She could hear that someone shut off the water to the shower, keeping her eyes on the door, she waited for whomever to exit.

A moment later, a dripping wet Jasper appeared in nothing but a red towel. Amelia's eyes were huge, he was absolutely gorgeous. She couldn't help herself, she openly stared at him. "Is there a reason I'm in this room, instead of mine?" she questioned.

Jasper chuckled. "Because my dear, you belong with me, and I wanted my scent on you, since you were covered in wolf." He stared into her eyes, he could see that she was admiring his body. In all his years with Alice, she never liked him without his shirt on, he quickly diverted his thoughts he was no longer going to worry about Alice. He already had the divorce papers signed and Jenks had them processed, she was his past. Just like Maria, she was never going to cross his mind again. He killed Maria, it was only a matter of time before he killed Alice.

Amelia sat up a little straighter, so he was jealous that a wolf's scent was on hers? "So when did you decide that I belong with you? Cause last I checked you were still Alice's husband." Carefully standing up, she could feel her muscles were sore. After the last two days of using her gift for refined purposes gave her the inclination that she was in desperate need to practice to build up her stamina. She could feel his eyes on her, his deep laugh sent tingles down her spine.

Taking a step towards her, "Little Dove, I handled my business with Ms. Brandon, she is no longer my concern. The only reason I haven't killed her is because my brother said she may be important in the next couple weeks. Once she has served whatever purpose Peter's knower is picking up, she will be expendable." taking an unnecessary breath, "As for you, you're mine, I'm yours."

Interesting, he's divorced already. "Don't give me that bull, you know just as well as I do you can't determine that, unless you taste my blood." Turning her attention towards the books, she could see that a lot of them were Civil War era, the others were of Military tactics.

Zipping into her space, Amelia jumped a little when he was so close to her. Jasper's eyes were black, grabbing her by the back of her neck, "Oh little girl," putting his nose into her neck he inhaled her deeply, taking his tongue he licked her pulse points all the way to her lips, "is that an offer?"

OMG. Inhaling deeply, Amelia closed her eyes, and just let her body feel. She opened her eyes and looked deeply into his. "Yes." She took a step back and watched his eyes, pitch black, taking a deep breath, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a little swiss army knife. "One way to know for sure, right?"

Jasper was vibrating with desire, she was brave, not many people would offer to cut themselves in front of a vampire. "You trust me?" he asked.

Shrugging her shoulders, "I'm willing to risk it. What about you? Are you willing to risk your pretty gold eyes for a little blood?"

Gripping her neck a little tighter, he swallowed the venom in his mouth. Keeping his eyes locked on her, he could only nod.

Lifting her hand towards his mouth, she took the tip of the knife and pricked her finger. A slow red drop formed at the top of her finger. Looking over at Jasper, his eyes were black, she could tell he wasn't breathing, "Open your mouth and I'll drop some in." Trying to lighten the mood, "Try not to bite me, I'd like to have a personal spa day before my change." Slowly she lifted her finger towards his mouth, never taking her eyes off him.

He was floored with the level of trust she was showing him, as he saw her finger near his mouth, he knew it was a put up or shut up time. If he didn't step up to the plate, he knew that even if she was his, until her change she would avoid him at all cost, and if she was turned she could keep him as a friend instead of lover if he fails this test. Taking her finger he gently pulled her finger into his mouth, closing his eyes, he sucked the finger and pulled more blood into his throat. His body surged forward, it was pure ambrosia. His inner beast roared with satisfaction, his other half was here in his arms.

Jasper needed to control himself, he wouldn't turn her until he was buried deep inside her body. Gently sucking her finger he gently removed it from his mouth keeping his teeth away from her skin.

She could feel him as soon as his mouth wrapped around his finger. It was like her body was being pulled into his. Well shit, this was unexpected. As he released her finger from his mouth she stared into his eyes. Once black, or golden, now a light orange. They stared at each other, Jasper was the one who spoke first.

"Darlin' I never thought I would find you. I'm never letting you go." he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close.

Wrapping her arms around his very naked chest, she leaned into him, his body felt cool, but not cold to her. Nothing made her feel so safe. Well, I guess I'm gonna have to keep my friendship with Sam platonic. It honestly wasn't even a hard choice, she was glad that she could start her afterlife with a partner. She loved her family, and knew that Peter & Char would take care of her, but being able to have someone all for yourself, to love, to protect it was humbling.

"I guess I'm gonna have to tell the wolf to keep his hands to himself." she quipped.

Growling slightly into her ear, "It would be wise, I would kill him, and any of the others if they attempted to stop me."

"No need, I know what a mate is, Char explained its significance and what to expect from a newly mated male. Something about jealousy, occasionally controlling. I'm told it would be that way until we complete the mating bond, which can only happen when I'm a vampire." Looking at him, "Is that about right?"

Licking her neck, "Yes my dove, it is. I'm going to be very possessive over you until I bury my cock inside you. Even after, until you are a vampire, I am going to probably act like a caveman. I apologize now, I know you're more than capable, but I'm a man, you're my woman."

Laughing at his statement, "I'll tolerate it, but don't you for one second think that I will follow orders like a dog. You will attempt to have a conversation with me before you start ordering me about, and unless I'm in danger you do not dictate or make decisions for me. If you can do all that, then we will have a great life. If not, I'll kick your ass."

Lifting her head towards his, he locked eyes with her, "I wouldn't dream of it." With that he tilted his head towards hers, placing his lips on hers, his free hand; he gripped her head, running his fingers through her long hair, he plunged his tongue into her mouth, demanding her submission to him. Oh so willingly she gave it to him.

Deeping their kiss, Amelia let her hands explore his broad shoulders, finally resting them in his hair. He tasted of whiskey, and honey, it was intoxicating. The blood in her body was boiling, her desire pushing its way towards her empathic mate.

Lifting her up Jasper zipped towards a wall and slammed her into it. He only just registered her grunt. Pulling his mouth away from hers, "You alright darlin'?" he questioned.

Staring into his eyes, "Just fine." With that she grabbed his face and brought it close to hers, kissing him again. She could feel his erection pushing against her inner thighs of her jeans, using the little leverage she had, she ground herself onto him, it sent electricity through her body, the moan that escaped her mouth earned her a growl from him.

"You better stop that my dove, because as much as I want you naked, and underneath me, Bella has been demanding your presence as soon as you woke up, and I'm fairly certain that if you don't get downstairs now, she's going to bust in here, and I'd rather not be interrupted while I have you screaming." Taking another taste of her lips, he gently placed her on her feet, and turned towards his dresser. Dropping the towel he quickly got dressed.

Not one for being shy, she watched him dress. He was wearing a pair of fitted jeans and a black t-shirt. Looking at him, he definitely seems more relaxed.

"You enjoying the show?" he asked.

"Why yes I am sir."

Laughing together, he opened the door and gently placed his hands above the small of her back, he lead her out the door towards the living room, as they made their entrance Amelia was bombarded by Bella.

"Are you OK? What happened?" Turning to Jasper, "Why are you smiling, you never smile?"

"Bella, relax, OK, I'm fine, Jasper and I found out we are mated. He suspected, so I gave him a drop of my blood, and well, yea, he's mine, I'm his." she breathed out.

Char squealed in delight, Peter walked over to his sire, clasping him on his back. "Congrats!" He looked over at Snowy, "I knew that when we met you were going to save my sire, now I know why. Thank you for saving him." Reaching over he looked at Jasper making sure it would be ok, once he saw the nod, he pulled her into a deep hug.
Bella smiled. "I'm happy for you. But," looking at Jasper, "My experiences with the whole mate thing did not go well, you hurt her in any way I will set your dick on fire!"

Jasper looked stunned, "I will do my best Bella, I give you my word."

Bella nodded. She really was happy for her friend. But she would be lying if she didn't have a bit of jealousy, but that emotion passed as quickly as it came, no she wouldn't feel anything but happy for her friend.

Amelia actually took the time to look around, "So where are the Cullens?"

Char snorted, "Rose and Emmett are with Edward, Rose has an issue with the mind raping, so she's giving him a very painful lesson on taking liberties. Esme, well, she's taking Carlisle to task, as of right now she is the acting leader of this family/coven. His oversight on Alice or Edward is unacceptable and she is no longer going to allow their influence over him to make decisions on the family."

"Wow. That's impressive, and you," looking at Bella, "how are you doing?"

Taking a deep breath, "I'm glad that they are suffering, I'm sad that I was treated like dirt by him, and it's nice to know that the rest of the Cullens didn't have anything to do with it."

Amelia wrapped her arms around her, "Me too, I'd hate to kill them." she deadpanned.

Looking at Peter, "So, how long are we here for, cause no offense, I wouldn't object to leaving."

Peter laughed. "It's not how it works Snowball, my knower says we will stay a bit longer, but we will get our own place, Char already purchased a 4 bedroom house, so we can have our own space. Don't worry though, whatever is keeping us here will be resolved soon."

Amelia nodded, and looked to Jasper and Bella, "Are you both OK with us leaving?" She never wanted to make Jasper choose, but she wouldn't stay with the Cullens, nor would she want to force Bella to leave.

Bella reached over and touched her hand, "I'm ready, Monday morning I am going to the school and going to see if I can test out, I know I have enough credits so it shouldn't be a problem. After that, I'm all yours."

Jasper kissed her temple, "My dove, I'd follow you to the gates of hell, I have no issues leaving. I will remain in contact with them, and occasionally see them, but you are where my future is."

Looking around the love that was being sent around to each member of the family was enough to make Jasper happy. No one was smothering him with their emotions, everything was peaceful.

Giving Amelia another hug, Bella made the motion to leave, "I'm going to go home now, tomorrow I'm heading to La Push to go fishing with my dad, I want to spend extra time with him before I leave."

Char and Peter smiled at Bella, "We'll take you home, I'm sure these two will need some alone time."

With a last wave of goodbyes, Amelia and Jasper were alone. Looking over at him, she tucked a blonde hair back behind his ears. "What do you say cowboy, get a lady some dinner?"

"Why of course ma'am," extending his elbow he led her to the garage, he was going to take his dove out.

Alice was locked in her room rocking back and forth, and was sucked into a vision. **Red Hair, anger, revenge, at least 10 vampires with her. Coming to Forks…. Searching for a time frame, she locked in on 3 weeks. When the first snow was stuck to the ground.**

Alice knew that she was alone in the house, so she had to wait until the Major came back. If she gave him this information, he would spare her. She needed him to spare her. She didn't want to die.

She presumed rocking back and forth until he came for her. She would never lie to the Major again.
