The police officers were very nice while they questioned me for answers. As I answered their inquiries, I reminded myself of how I should have seen this coming. Jake had been progressing steadily toward obsession and this certainly pushed him to abusive and dangerous. I knew that I would never have to deal with him again. He looked completely defeated in my room when Jasper came in. I would never have another problem with him, ever again.

It truly was done.

Once the officer was done questioning me, I sat on my couch and pulled my knees to my chest as I waited for the cops to vacate my house. My surroundings were chaotic, but I was overwhelmed and exhausted. My head found the arm of the couch and I fell asleep.

The cops were awfully nice once they realized that I was not the one who caused all of the bruising to Bella's body; the bruises covered her collarbone and her cheekbones along side of the scratches and small cuts. Although she was shaken and scared, there was no permanent physical damage and I was thankful that no one made her go to the hospital. I answered all of the questions exactly as I remembered it happening. All that I really wanted was to find Bella and keep her safe, protect her, and remove anyone or anything that threatened her safety.

After the interrogation, I shook hands with all of the officers and waited for them all to leave. The last person finally left after trying to start a conversation about how bad the Minnesota Timberwolves were, but I could not even bother with trying. I was tired and ready to take care of my girl. I politely ended the conversation and encouraged him to enjoy his night before turning on my heels to locate Bella.

My eyes focused on the living room couch and the ball of arms and legs curled up in its side. Her hair half covered her face and over the arm of the couch, a scowl on her face as she slept. This couldn't possibly be a comfortable position and she was obviously not sleeping soundly. I sat next to her and brushed the hair out of her face with my left hand, my right hand softly caressing her ankle. She startled awake, breathing sharply and pushed my hands away.

"Bella, it's Jasper. Everything's okay," I grabbed her hands and rubbed them gently, "Bella, look at me."

Her deep brown eyes met my gaze, and for lack of a better term, she looked completely helpless. Realization that she was alone with me hit her and she relaxed. She glanced around the room, "I don't want to be here right now."

"Where do you want to be?"

"Anywhere else," she looked at her knees as she gripped them, "Anywhere else as long as I am with you."

My heart swelled at her sincerity and I pulled her legs over my lap and my arm behind her back, holding her. "I won't leave you," I whispered to her. My arm slid underneath her legs and I stood, holding her tightly as I walked to her door and opened it as smoothly as I could, and shut the door behind me as I walked through it. She held me around the neck and kissed my cheek as her door clicked shut, then buried her head into my chest.

My room was dark. The lights from the cars on the road outside danced on my bedroom wall, shifting from one side of the room to the other. Just two nights ago I was in this same spot, doing the same thing, but had a much different feeling: despair, loneliness, self-loathing.

Now, it was much different.

I looked to my left to see brown, wavy tresses surround the pillows around the angelic face of my beauty. My Bella. she slept nestled into my side, her arm gripping my own. She wasn't about to let go of me even in her sleep. The part of my life that I didn't know that I was looking for was here, holding onto me. I was still a bit bewildered that this seemed so natural. I rolled onto my left side, my head propped under a pillow and my right hand fingering through her tresses.

I had no intention of waking her, yet she stirred and moaned quietly, pushing slightly into my hand. Whatever I wanted to tell her, it could wait until the morning. I decided to pull her close against me instead. I leaned up and stabilized myself on my right hand while I slid my left arm underneath her head, wrapping it around her shoulders. I laid my head back down, my right arm reached around her waist to hold her closer against my body.

The smell of my shampoo in her hair made me smile and I leaned down to kiss her forehead. She mumbled something that I could not understand as she wrapped her smaller arm around my waist, lifting her head slightly to kiss me on my stubbly chin. I looked down at her and smiled. It was evident that she was just fast asleep a moment ago, but her eyes connected with mine and sparkled in the dark. I recognized the feeling radiating from her stare: complete adoration. She smiled back, drawing absent-minded doodles on my bare back with her fingertips.

"Hey."

"Howdy, ma'am." I whispered with a quiet laugh.

"What's your name stranger?" she smiled. Her doodling on my back changed to soft, short caresses. It was very distracting.

"Jasper. Jasper Whitlock. Might I inquire your name, lovely?" I let my accent hang heavy as we played our little game. My hand found the small of her back and slid away from it until I grabbed her hip, rubbing my thumb against her hip bone.

"Isabella Swan, sir," she smiled.

"If I could be so bold, ma'lady, I have heard that you prefer to be called Bella," I asked, sliding my hand up her bare torso until it met that awful sports bra.

"Only loved ones may call me Bella, kind sir," her head tilted forward slowly, avoiding my lips. She leaned up on her arm, kissing my jaw bone softly, sweetly. She kissed me directly under my ear, exhaling simultaneously, causing a quiet moan to escape. My fingers dug into her soft skin.

She stopped her movements for just a moment while she hovered over my ear, "You may call me Bella, Jasper." Her lips fell as she took my earlobe into her mouth, teasing and biting it.

"Bella," My arms wrapped around her completely as her leg hitched over mine. I brought my mouth down to meet hers and we both moaned as our lips crashed together. The magnetic pull to her was absolutely thrilling as I memorized her soft lips, moving slowly against mine. Her hand ran up and down my back, pulling me closer to her. It was absolutely apparent that I needed her. Now.

"Jasper," she spoke in a low, sultry voice, "Jasper, I need you now."

The fact that she felt the exact same way as I did drove me further. I rolled us over, hovering above her, propped upon my arms. Her hands found my hips as she pulled them down, raising her own hips to meet mine. I thrust myself against her gently and Bella positioned herself perfectly to receive the exact amount of pressure to groan in pleasure.

She crossed her arms over her chest as she gripped onto her bra and ripped it up and over her head. I moved my arms so that my hands could cup her face, brushing away any stray strands of hair. I tried to show her through a glance how much she meant to me, how I needed her, how I would never do anything to hurt her. I wanted to tell her how much that I loved her, to help her understand.

She lifted her head to mine and kissed me, pulling me back down to the pillow with her. She took a breath and whispered, "I love you," into my lips before kissing me fiercely again. I palmed her breasts with my right hand, ghosting my fingers across the erect peaks. Bella arched her back up into me and whispered again, "I need you, please."

Her words clouded my mind as I became terribly eager to give her what she wanted. My hands slid down from her breasts and gripped onto her sweatpants, pulling them down, leaving me on my knees at her feet. I was slightly amused at the fact that she was not wearing underwear since I ripped them from her small frame earlier. That was a huge turn on and a surprise.

I kissed my way up her body: the tops of her shins, the bottom of her calf, the inside of her knees. My tongue worked the rest of the way up to where her thighs met. She was very ready for me, but a little teasing never hurts. Moving my lips against her most sensitive area, she writhed against me, gripping and pulling my hair. I leaned on my arm as I continued and removed my pants with the other. Her breathing was become more and more ragged, her body twitching and grinding for more.

My kissing up her body continued as I reached her stomach, her breasts, her collarbone. Once I reached her face, she pushed into me and rolled me over. She straddled me just below my cock and grabbed it, caressing it firmly. My eyes rolled into the back of my head and I let out a guttural moan. I felt her shift down my legs, reposition herself slightly, and I felt her tongue sweep across my head, drifting down my shaft slowly. I grabbed her hair to pull it out of her way. As I did so, she positioned herself at the tip of my now massive erection. I opened my eyes in anticipation of what was to come and I caught her smoldering gaze. Her eyes never left mine as she took in the tip, then the whole head, and most of my shaft, swallowing around it.

"Fuck me!" I yelled, unable to control my words in the utter bliss that I felt, "Dammit Bella, that is good." She stopped her movements and let go of my cock, kissing up my stomach, then my chest. Her head wedged between my head and shoulder, kissing the sensitive skin there that drove me even wilder than I already felt. I reached for her hips and positioned my length at her entrance, pushing upwards into her.

She grunted as she melted into my body, resting her full body weight on me. The sensation of being within her was second to none; we were one and I felt absolutely complete. I was brought out of my perfect state of heaven when she started kissing my neck again. I sat up, bringing Bella with me, wrapping her legs around me. Once I was sitting straight up, I cradled her back with one arm and balanced myself with an arm behind me against my mattress.

I pushed up into her, pulling her with my movements. She rolled her hips into me, causing me to moan aloud. My lips found hers and I kissed her tenderly, with need. The continual motion of her body caused me to moan again.

"Oh," Bella whispered, pulling her mouth away. Her arms were wrapped around my shoulders, hands fingering through my hair, pulling and tugging. The passion and connection between us was an ever-present undertone. That was when I fell in love with her again, over and over, heart, soul and body.

"Jasper," Bella wrapped a hand around the back of my neck, her other hand sliding down my torso to slide around it, gripping the small of my back.

"Bella, darlin'. What do you need?" I thrust up into her again and she groaned.

"I need more of you. I need all of you," she whispered honestly, gazing into my eyes.

I flipped her around so that she was on her back, her hair spilled over the bed underneath her. My body rested on one forearm, the other hand grabbing under her thigh to pull it upwards. I pushed into her again, gaining the best angle of penetration from this position.

"You have me. All of me," I managed to get out.

"Yes, Jasper," her hand found slid down my back and gripped onto my ass, pulling me into her further. We moved with each other gracefully with one purpose: to show each other all of our emotions , all of our passion for the other, and the complete love and adoration we shared. I continued to thrust into her, kissing any thing that I could reach, moaning continually.

"Jasper, love," she cried out, gripping onto me tightly, "I'm so close..."

Sweat started coat our bodies, causing Bella's skin to shimmer in the dim light. I wrapped my arms underneath her, cradling her head, holding her as if she would break apart if I let her go. It may have been close to the truth.

"Bella," I called to her, "My darlin'."

My thrusting became more frantic. Bella arched her back and met me at each movement, scratching and pulling at my back. Her body shook slightly and her legs wrapped around my lower back, pushing her feet into my upper thighs. She was so close to release.

"Let go, my love," I urged, pushing deep into her.

Her body convulsed and clenched around me, "Jasper, yes. Yes! Shit!"

I was not far behind. She became even tighter around me as she came, pulling me right along with her. I groaned loudly, calling out to her as I pumped erratically into her; I came hard and long. I collapsed onto her, dropping my head to her chest. The tingling sensation in my body did not leave afterwards, but turned into a slow burn that dulled everywhere but my heart. My love was with me and I was not about to let her go. She kissed my forehead and ran fingers through my hair.

I rolled over pulling Bella along with me, wrapping my arms securely around her. Our breathing slowed gradually, and she sighed a happy sigh before we both drifted to sleep.
