Previous chapter:

"You'll be the only Mrs. Jasper Whitlock to ever walk this earth, darlin'."

Bella - BPOV

His words made my dead heart soar. His heart never truly belonged to Alice and he's giving it to me completely. I jump into his arms and kiss him passionately. He snickers as we pull apart.

"Your emotions are intoxicating, pumpkin. You're like a drug to me. I love you, Bella."

"I love you too, Jasper. I've never loved anyone as much as I love you."

"Your love for me is only equaled by my love for you, darlin'."

I gasp for unneeded air as Jasper sends all his love to me. It swirls around us and I sigh as I let myself get lost in the most glorious feeling ever. I'm finally home. An incoming phone call interrupts my happy bliss.

God, if that's Peter again, I'm going to reevaluate my feelings toward him. Brother-in-law or pain in the ass, there's a thin line between those two anyway. Jasper looks at the caller-id and puts a finger against my lips as he answers:

"Yes, Carlisle?"

"Jasper, son, is everything okay? How's Bella? Is she giving you a hard time?"

Jasper almost moans out loud as he sees the smug look on my face. My hands make their way down his body, and one hand grabs his rock-hard member through his jeans. He pulls me close against him and says:

"Everything's fine, Carlisle. We are on our way to you now. She just needs a shower and a change of clothes."

He ends the call and groans as his hands travel down my back and grab hold of my ass.

"You're insatiable, darlin'. Let's mix business and pleasure. Let's shower together."

I know that my eyes are as black as his. I grab his hand and start running back toward the house. Jasper takes the lead and runs straight into his bathroom. He kicks the door shut and has us both undressed in under a second. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as he walks us into the shower and puts the water on.

I sigh as the scolding hot water runs across our bodies and stare into Jasper's eyes. I start one of our wordless conversations by sending him my love and devotion as he slides home while answering my emotions with his own. I dig my nails into his back as he slams into me hard and fast. God, this man is divine.

"I'm so close, Jasper…. please… yes!"

He roars as he comes deep inside me.

"Fuck!"

He leans forward and rests his forehead against mine as I move my legs to stand again. His hands move up and cup my face as he places a soft kiss on my lips. I feel his love flowing toward me and I sigh contently. He picks up the soap and starts to wash my body and his.

I pout as he turns the water off and moves out of the shower to get us a towel. He snickers as he sees my face and pulls me close while wrapping me in a towel. He pushes a loose strain of hair behind my ear and says:

"We have the rest of eternity to love each other, darlin'. The sooner we go and meet the Cullens, the sooner we can start our life together."

I let out a big sigh at his statement.

"You're right… Let's get this over with."

Jasper – JPOV

God, this woman will have me jumping through hoops in no time. That little pout of hers would get even the strongest male onto his knees, begging and pleading to do her bidding. I almost yield, but the will to get this confrontation with the Cullens over with is slightly stronger. I'll make it up to her when we reach our home in Montana.

As I walk out into my study, I notice a large box in the corner. I walk over and immediately detect Peter's scent all over it. God, he sure as hell has been busy the last few hours. I open it up and smile. I love that all-knowing bastard so much right now. Bella walks up to me and peeks around my shoulder. I can feel her lust spike as she looks at the contents of the box.

I smirk as I pull the clothes, the boots, and my Stetson from the box, and notice that there are also a pair of boots and a dress in there for Bella. I can see the uncertainty in her eyes as she looks from the dress to me. I give her a reassuring nod and send her a burst of confidence, before turning my back to her and getting dress.

As I put them on, I realize just how much I missed my Wrangler jeans and my boots. Alice banned them from the house decades ago and I let her. I shake my head at my own stupidity. I'm so glad that I kept a secret stash of jeans and several pairs of boots at my house in Montana. Peter must have found it while cleaning out the house.

I button up my flannel shirt and look into the mirror as I place my Stetson on top of my head. I guess it's true what they say. You can take the man out of Texas, but you sure as hell can't take Texas out of the man. Not even if you try very hard as Alice did. I ban the thoughts of my ex-wife to the back of my head and turn around to my Bella.

The sight of her leaves me completely breathless and I can't seem to form a coherent sentence, even if my life depends on it. Standing there in front of me is my mate, my gorgeous Bella, in a knee-long flower-print dress and beautiful brown cowboy boots. God, did I mention how much I love Peter right now? I walk over and place my Stetson on her head, completing the image and committing it to my memory. I bow my head slightly as I say:

"Howdy, ma'am."

I watch as Bella bites her lower lip and looks at me through her lashes. Oh, fuck me. She's got the whole Southern belle act down to a tee. She lifts her hand and says:

"Well, hello there, cowboy. You kept me waiting."

I take her hand in mine and bow down to place a kiss on top. I lock eyes with her as I stand up straight again and say:

"My apologies, ma'am. It was unconsciously done. You ready, darlin'?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. One thing though… the clothes… Peter again?"

I nod and Bella starts smiling.

"Do you like the clothes, pumpkin?"

"I love them. So, no ripping, cowboy!"

I laugh out loud as I pull her close against me. I place a kiss on the mark on her neck and whisper in her ear.

"It's time to go, you little vixen."

I take a step back and take Bella's hand in mine. I lead her outside and together we run toward the cabin. As we approach the cabin, I can already feel the mix of emotions that the Cullens are sending out. This is going to be fun.

Bella - BPOV

We stop at a small clearing in front of the cabin and wait for the Cullens to come out. Jasper lets go of my hand and places himself slightly in front of him. I put my left hand on his back, not willing to lose the physical connection. He gives me a loving smile and turns to face the cabin. I take a deep breath as the door opens and Carlisle comes out.

He moves to the edge of the small clearing before Jasper motions him to stop. Carlisle takes another step forward and looks at me with a loving smile on his face. He's even more beautiful than I realized before, but nowhere near as beautiful as my Jasper.

"Bella, sweetheart, do you remember me?"

I look straight at him and nod, before saying:

"Of course, Carlisle, why wouldn't I remember the man I consider to be my father. I remember everything…"

Carlisle looks at me, surprise written all over his face. I can see him slipping into full doctor mode as he asks:

"Bella, what do you mean when you say that you remember 'everything'?"

"Are you going to treat me as a science experiment, instead of a daughter again, dad?"

Carlisle chuckles as he remembers the remark Jasper gave him during my change and nods as he realizes that everything means just that: everything.

"I wouldn't dare, my daughter. I just want to say that vampirism suits you. You were truly born to be one of us. I have never seen a newborn that is so controlled as you are. I hope that you will humor me later and answer a few questions about your change. It was quite remarkable. But we have plenty of time for that. Do you want to see the rest of the family, Bella? They're dying to see you."

I chuckle at his choice of words and nod. Carlisle turns around as the door opens and the rest of the family comes out. Esme gives me one of her loving smiles as she welcomes me to the family once again. Emmett whistles and mutters something about 'guys', 'little sister', and 'hot'. Rosalie hits him against the back of his head the moment the words leave his mouth.

I smile at her as she welcomes me to the family too. Alice keeps throwing glances at Jasper with a scowl on her face and the looks she's throwing me aren't much better. Jealousy is an ugly mask for sure. Edward is standing next to her and takes a step forward as our eyes meet. He reaches out to me and says:

"Bella, love, what are you wearing? Please come inside. I'm sure Alice has clothes that suit you better than this rural outfit."

A growl starts at the back of my throat. Did that asshole just insult my outfit? I love this dress and that's saying a lot coming from me. It fits me perfectly. I wonder how Peter got my size right. I'll have to ask him when we reach Montana.

"So that's the first thing you say to me? Fuck off, Edward. I don't care what you think."

"Love, you don't mean that. I love you and you love me. You're my mate."

I feel Jasper's muscles tensing up and smile as he roars:

"No, she's not."

Jasper - JPOV

Shit is about to hit the fan. Insulting the newborn vampire that you tried to kill is without a doubt the dumbest move ever. I can feel Bella's anger rising when Edward comments on her clothes. He couldn't be more wrong, my Bella looks absolutely stunning in that dress. Hell, I'm close to tearing him apart myself.

Bella starts trembling as he calls her 'love' and states that 'she loves him'. Her anger spikes to unseen levels as he dares to call her 'mate' and that's where I draw the line as well. I let out a burst of fear toward Edward as I roar:

"No, she's not."

Edward falls to the ground as the fear hits him. The rest of the family gasps for unneeded air. Alice takes a step toward me and says:

"Of course, she is, Jazzy. I've seen it. Bella and Edward belong together. She's his mate, just as you are mine."

Bella's growl startles everyone. They all watch her carefully as she moves her hand to the collar of my shirt. She pulls it aside so that everyone can see the mark she placed on my neck. I send her my pride and love as I carefully watch the Cullens' emotions. Bella stares at Alice and says:

"His name is Jasper and he's mine."

I return the gesture and move Bella's hair over her shoulder to reveal my mark on her neck. I lean in and kiss it, before saying:

"My Bella."

I don't need psychic powers to know what is going to happen next. I watch as Carlisle and Emmett pull their mates behind them, right before Alice and Edward lunge for me and Bella. They're going to regret attacking my Bella. Nobody hurts the Major's mate.
