Maria POV
(May contain strong language)
Fighting Back? Fighting back! How the fuck was he fighting back?? This ALWAYS worked! Why not now? What made my Jasper so special…?
Our lips were still fused together but his tongue was no longer in sequence. His hands stopped moving and his slender arms fell limp at his side. I opened my eyes, blood red reflected in his honey topaz. A single tear ran down his powder white check, clear as crystal and added to the small wet patch in the fabric of the sofa. Something inside me clicked, this was the strongest love I had ever gone against. Others that I had controlled, their mates had died; they had given up because they couldn't love something that never existed. They couldn't love a bundle of unrecognisable shards, or the thick putrid smoke that was now their loved one.
Jasper was different, his love was still alive, well as alive as a vampire could be and I couldn't change that. Or could I? A pure bred warrior against that physic bitch. I could easily win, superior strength on my side, I could rip her head clean off her feeble shoulders, Rip her to pieces in seconds, burn her porcelain skin before she had whispered a word.
I heard light footfalls and grit crunching underfoot in the distance. Jasper was watching me constantly, not even blinking. He heard the footsteps too, I knew if I removed my lips from his he would escape. Yet if I didn't his vampire "family" would find we in a very compromising position. I had to act quickly or I would loose him forever. Who was it returning? Would I have a chance to take them down before Jasper took me down? Would he throw his gentlemanly ideas aside and take down such a serious threat to his eternity with Alice? The footfalls sounded closer, I breathed in deeply. The sweet scent of honey and coconut hit me, Jasper, his scent drew me back in to him. NO! I must not loose it now, not when demise shadowed the future. I broadened my senses and picked up a faint scent on the outer bounds of my senses. Female, dainty……
