Hello all. Alas but this story is coming to a close. As I mentioned before I'm not planning on making a full fledged story out of it but I am humbled that so many of you reviewed, favorited, and messaged me words of encouragement and enjoyment of my little story. Thank you all for making me feel a bit more comfy in my writers skin. Hopefully through more stories and feedback I can grow into a better writer of FF. *Much Love to all*

She snuggled into the hard arms that were enfolded about her as lovely dreams tried to slip away. Frowning, Bella grumbled, furrowing deep into the strength and smell that surrounded the dream. "Don't leave me. Stay."

Jasper watched his dreaming keepsake as she began to talk in her sleep, her arms tightening around him. She seemed to be trying to crawl into his skin. Smiling down at her, he placed a tender kiss against her brow.

She couldn't make his face out but saw that he was holding his arms out to her, beckoning her to come to him. While the face as not visible, the closer she got the smell became sweeter, more intoxicating. A grin appeared on her face when she recognized the scent that filled the air, her feet taking off in the direction of the arms. Jasper.

"Jasper," She whispered, "I'm coming. Don't leave me. Please. I love you."

"I'm here sweetheart." A voice murmured from a distance, "Open your eyes Bella."

Jasper sent her waves of calm and a feeling of wakefulness. Her chocolate eyes opened, and she immediately zeroed in on the man holding her. Her fingers reached up to touch his face, a small smile tilting up the corners of her mouth. "I didn't dream you did I? Last night was real?'

"Ummhmm." He answered, smiling as he pressed his face against her hand. "Last night was very real, as well as a few hours earlier this morning baby."

A blush spread along her cheeks. Relief flooded her as she saw his smile, hoping maybe he didn't regret it. Memories flooded her of things they did and the way he made her feel, but in her mind she worried what he felt the morning after."

Her emotions were flooding into Jasper's mind. Love, hope, worry, and fear.

"Baby, why are you worried and afraid?"

"Worried that you'll think last night was a mistake and afraid you don't love me."

"Oh Bella," he whispered, placing small kisses along her face, "There's no way in hell I'd ever think last night was a mistake. Perhaps I regret that it took so long to happen, or that it took getting drunk to bring some truths out, but it was not a mistake, not for me. As far as being afraid, you never have to be with me because I love you more than any single thing in this world. You are my life." Pulling back to watch her he added, "But I do think we should perhaps shower and get dressed before Alice barges in."

Much later, after a shower, making love, and another shower they met up with Carlisle and Alice, who were snuggled in the living room. Breakfast was waiting before the trip home.

Bella actually began looking forward to going back. She felt bad for cheating on Edward, but felt relief in ending a relationship that had been going downhill for some time. Oddly enough, it seemed that when they were apart, her feelings of love vanished. They did every time she was away from Edward for awhile. It was only after being reunited that the feelings returned, usually after he gave her that crooked smile of his. Odd.

Edward had arrived home a few hours ago. Bella and the others were no where to be found. He smiled, figuring Alice had drug everyone shopping. That damn girl shopped more than anyone he'd ever known.

Upon finding everyone gone he'd chanced a phone call to Tanya who had come back with him for a visit. Tanya, who just to be on the safe side was staying at Esme's cottage. Since Carlisle and Esme had split, no one ever used it. It would make a perfect hideaway for the sexy Tanya. Of course, since no one was home she could come here to 'visit'. Already his need for her was evident.

Kicking his pants and boxers away, he laid back on the bed to stroke his hard cock, not having to wait long before Tanya appeared in the doorway. Her seductive smile appeared at the sight of his cock.

"Is that for me darling?" She purred.

"Of course my love." Edward spread his legs apart as she slid between his legs, engulfing his cock with her sinful mouth. Yes, he hoped they stayed away for awhile yet. All too soon he'd have to face Bella and yet again dazzle her to keep her where he wanted her.

If Tanya's body was his cake, then Bella's blood was the icing that he craved. Unknown to his family, each night that he watched Bella sleep, he enjoyed pulling the hair from her neck, biting where no one could see to enjoy her warm sweet blood. Of course he was always careful to avoid injecting her with his venom.

A few times his bloodlust had gotten the better of him but so far he'd managed to control it. Nothing tasted as good as virgin blood. The sad part was that he could only have a small sip so his eyes would not revert to the red, giving away his secret.

Edward stroked Tanya's head as she worked his cock. She was talented and gorgeous, always making sure his needs were met. She was the perfect partner in crime. Soon the time would come when he would suggest going away with Bella, the pretense being to run away to get married. Of course he had no intention of marrying the human. Tanya was it for him, and his desire to give her whatever she wanted ruled him.

An old castle in Ireland that he and Tanya bought was almost finished. Together they planned to live there, with Bella. She would be a good human pet for Tanya and himself for a few years, and then he planned to fuck her until she grew heavy with his child. The child of course would be mothered by Tanya who craved a child. While they could not have a vampire baby, they could have half a vampire.

Once she provided them with their baby she would no longer have sweet virgin's blood so his interest would be over. Of course if his beautiful Tanya wanted more children he would keep fucking her until Tanya was satisfied. Once the childbearing years passed if Tanya did not desire to keep her as a toy, they would drain her body dry and give the remains to the wild animals in the thick forest surrounding the castle.

Perhaps later they would come across another singer to keep as a pet. Humans could be so entertaining at times ad Tanya enjoyed being entertained. Edward roared his release as his sticky sperm shot into Tanya's greedy mouth. Seeing her sit back on her knees, licking small traces of his cum from her lips undid him. Grabbing her he shoved his still hard cock into her dripping pussy. He could never get enough.

"Tanya's here." Alice said, too low for Bella to hear as they entered the house.

"He's fucking her." Carlisle whispered, but it hardly mattered because as if in slow motion, Bella entered the house with a tense Jasper just as Edward and Tanya, locked together like to wild animals crashed through his bedroom door, ending against a wall as they fucked like rabbits.

Bella's mouth dropped in shock as she saw her boyfriend's naked ass pumping against a naked woman. Instead of disgust or hurt, she felt a giddy laughter fall from her lips when she realized her main thought was that his ass failed to compare to Jasper's.

Edward jumped away from Tanya causing her to hit the floor with a loud thud. He looked frantic as he saw them standing there. "Bella, my dearest love, I can explain."

Tanya glared from Bella to Edward. With no effort at all Jasper could feel jealously and hatred for Bella radiate from her. She came up in a crouch and Jasper stepped in front of Bella in case the bitch was stupid enough to pounce. "Edward, I suggest you get a hold of Tanya because if she makes one move down here I will tear her apart and burn the pieces."

Edward whirled around to Tanya, giving her a warning growl before turning back to his family. There was no way he could stop Jasper from killing her if she went for Bella. Jasper was military, a great fighter known for his victories throughout the vampire world. He spoke to Tanya with his mind, sending his love, asking her to calm down. He'd completely forgotten that they were naked until he saw noticed Bella taking in his hard cock, bobbing against his belly. She didn't seem to care at all that she walked in on him cheating. Looking into her eyes he attempted to dazzle her into submission.

"Bella, look away or he will dazzle you into believing whatever he says." Alice instructed, causing Carlisle, Jasper and Bella to gasp at her. Quickly, Jasper pulled her behind him, a low growl bursting from his throat. This was a revelation.

"I wondered if he was making me love him." She said to Alice, "Sometimes when he leaves me I find myself wondering why I am with him, questioning my love for him. Wondering how I could be in love with someone else. Lately it happens a lot."

Edward quickly came down the stairs. "Bella my love, don't listen to them. Look at me. It's me that you love."

When she didn't he roared, "Look at me damnit!"

"Boy, if you want to keep standing there, you'd best not yell at her. Try to dazzle her and I'll rip you apart." Jasper's face was taut with anger as his military training came to the forefront.

Edward took in Bella peeping behind Jasper's protective stance, her arms wrapped about him and his hands resting on her hands. The gesture was almost intimate. "Get your hands off her Jasper. Your bloodlust will kill her."

"Oh shut the fuck up Edward," Bella replied, moving to stand in front of Jasper. "Perhaps you should focus on why you are naked before you attempt conversation with anyone." Her small hands were planted on her hips as she looked up and down his body passively. Evidently being a vampire did not mean that all males were well endowed. While he was not tiny, he had nothing on the beauty that was her Jasper. "Since you are content to stand here let me say something."

She focused on Jasper who was not sending any emotions to her, for which she was thankful. Standing straight she looked at Edward. "You won't dazzle me Edward. I need you to hear something I have to say and it's something I feel, not something planted into my mind. You see I have cheated on you, with Jasper. He and I are in love."

Edward looked livid but before he uttered a word Carlisle stepped forward. "Stop Edward. Go dress and come to my office. Alice has shared some visions with me that are disturbing. Bring Tanya as well, we have much to talk about."

4 months later

Jasper paced back and forth as he waited for Bella to come downstairs. Charlie looked at him oddly.

"Son, you're going to wear a hole in my floor." He pounded Jasper on the back as he headed out, "Don't worry so much. You worry when you hurt her, because then it's me you have to face."

"I won't hurt her. I love her more than my own life sir."

"Yeah, I know you do." Charlie admitted, "I'm glad it's you and not that backwards brother of yours, but we won't talk about him. Billy is waiting for me. Fishing you know."

A few minutes later, the love of his life came down. She looked adorable in a black dress that showed her off to perfection. Her hair was piled atop her head, a few curly tendrils fell around her smiling face.

"You're beautiful baby." He whispered, meeting her at the bottom, pulling her into his embrace.

She took in her golden angel in black slacks that hugged his gorgeous bum and a black cashmere turtleneck. "You take my breath away Jasper." Her lips found his.

Several minutes later, he pulled away and dropped to one knee. Bella gasped. "Oh my God."

"Bella, we've been on quite a journey together, and I've loved every minute of it. Not only have you allowed me to love you, but you have given me your love. It fills my heart, even in the darkest parts of heart. For once in my life I feel complete, no missing pieces, I kneel before you a whole man, and one who wants to be with you for eternity. Sweetheart, will you marry me and spend forever with me?"

Of course, she said yes…….

Well, that's the end of my tale. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Perhaps later on I will try my hand at a full length story, but I admit to enjoying short stories and one shots that are more about love, sex and emotions rather than layer upon layer of plot. Sometimes you just need a fix..Lol

I've already started on a couple of holiday one shots. These will be one chapter each. There is a contest for Jasper from Jasper's Darlin's and I had thought to enter it, but I dunno how to get a beta.

Someone mentioned a live journal, but I have to admit from a computer stand point I am not the sharpest crayon in the box and have no clue what live journal is. You guys would laugh if you saw how long it took me to figure out how to post a story here… None the less, simply writing is wonderful and I am learning so much from the act of writing and the reviews and feedback you've given me. I appreciate it.

Before I shut my trap I will tell you about the two one shots I will do. One will be set during WW2, featuring Bella and Jasper. I am not sure if I want it to be an M rating. The second will feature Jasper and Edward. I am excited to write about these two together and it will have an M rating. Until we meet again… Take care.
