I knew Jasper was nearby – he and I could always sense when the other is near. He did not join us though but waited as I explained everything to Bella.

Once she had agreed to the arrangement though he moved and made his presence known to her. I could tell he was getting impatient when a twig snapped under his foot – Jasper would never be so careless as to do it accidentally.

Bella seemed to understand and I quickly left her and ran to the love of my existence. I could immediately tell he was in a much better mood and had to chuckle as a wave of joviality washed over me. He took my hand and we ran further into the forest. When we were almost out of Bella's earshot he called with a chuckle "And the same goes for when I spank her." and I must admit that I was sincerely grateful at tat moment that vampires couldn't blush. Not that it stopped him from feeling my embarrassment. He laughed "Don't worry love, we all need reminders every so often."

"I know." I replied as I recalled my most recent spanking.

It had been after I returned from Volterra with Bella and Edward. Our reunion at the airport had been as expected. His relief at confirming I was safe and in one piece had been overwhelming. Once we got home we had retreated to the privcy of our room.

Jasper had stood before me and kissed me tenderly on the lips, before running his fingers gently over my face, feeling for indications of harm. His lips then followed the path his fingers had taken, kissing my chin…jaw…eyelids… nose…as he confirmed each area was in the same condition as when I left. He removed my top and began to run his fingers over my collar bone, arms, breasts and torso, his lips following closely behind.. I stood there as he continued his examination of my back… buttock…legs...feet…calves…inner thighs… knowing how important it was for him to assure himself that I was indeed safe. When he was done he came up and leant his forehead against mine ad we stood there, basking in our love.

After a time the guilt of what I had done swept through me. "I have a confession." I admitted quietly still naked from his earlier ministrations

He looked at me questioningly and I could feel his worry.

"I lied to you when I said I had seen us return safely from Volterra." Worry changed to shocked betrayal. I dropped his gaze, unable to look him in the eye.

"Why?"

"Because you would have come after us and I could never have lived with myself if they did something to you."

"Alice, you can't protect me like that. I am your husband and deserve to know the truth." I felt a small flicker of anger from him "If something had happened to you… I should have been there."

"And what would you have been able to do if they decided to kill me?" I said cruelly, beseeching him to understand "Fight off the guard and Alec and Jane? At least by lying to you I kept you safe."

"Kept me safe but at what price? My life is worth nothing without you." he argued

"And mine is worth nothing without you." I returned

He had taken a deep, calming breath then but his anger still spilled into the room, tainting the air. He was silent for a while before continuing "I understand why you did it." he had said slowly "but Alice, you can never lie to me again, whether it be about what dress you're planning on wearing or the fate of someone's life. You cannot lie to me again." he repeated firmly.

I bowed my head but remained silent. I regretted lying to him but given it to do over again I would still have done it.

I turned away from Jasper then and pulled out the chair from my dresser, immediately lowering myself over its back. I had seen this coming the second I decided to admit the truth to Jasper. In honesty I had needed it. I needed to feel punished for lying to me other half, I needed the emotional release that could only be achieved through this form of punishment and most of all I needed Jaspers forgiveness and I knew he would not be able to forgive me without there being a consequence. So I lay over the chair and waited.

SMACK! The first spank was not hard by Jaspers standards but I still jumped slightly. SMACK! he landed the second parallel to the first but on the oppersite cheek. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! he was increasing both his tempo and the strength of the blows, igniting a fire in my behind. It soon became too much for me and I broke down crying (Well gasping and shuddering which is our version of crying). He stopped immediately and pulled me into his arms as I let go of all the tension that I had been carrying around for the past year. "Shhh" he murmured, stroking my spiky hair soothingly "Its over now and all's forgiven." he assured me, pulling me onto the bed in such a way that I did not apply any pressure to my burning rear as he settled beside me. I knew then that everything was alright between us again.

We stayed there for hours...days even, just giving silent thanks that it had all worked out and we were together again.

I grasp Jaspers hand tighter and smiled at him as we ran. I would never know how I had come to be so lucky as to have Jasper by my side.

I thought the last line of chapter one was too good to pass up so I thought I'd write something when Alice got spanked my Jasper.

From now on I plan to occasionally update this story with snap-shots of their lives.
