AN: This chapter contains a hump, slash, again, if it's not your thing, hit the red X!


"You!" He spat, pausing his pacing to point his long finger at me. "Do you have any, any idea what you have just done?" he roared at me as I sat lazily on the sofa smirking, watching him pace.

"I fucked you?" I question, earning a growl from him as his fists clenched by his sides.

"That isn't what I meant, Jasper." His seething red eyes narrowing at me. "After everything...You do that!"

"What do you want me to say? I missed you and you weren't understanding my need." I commented as his nostrils flared at me.

"I should have you taken apart for this."

Unable to stop myself, I chuckled, only a second before he grabbed hold of my chin, pulling me to my feet. My chuckle turned into a full on laugh as he growled at me.

"You're so cute when you're all worked up like this." My hands ran down his arm that was outstretched, holding me up. "I love that little temper of yours, it's so endearing and challenging."

Another roar came from my angry mate just before he threw me back onto the sofa, making me laugh harder at his clearly irate state. Maybe I shouldn't push him right now, but God, I had missed his temperamental self.

"I'll have your tongue ripped out of your throat if you say one more word…" He stepped away, turning his back to me "Do not test me, Jasper."

"Will you chill out, babe. Come here and cuddle with me, I've missed you."

He sneered at me over his shoulder. "I will not! You arrived back last night and yet you spent the night with that...With that...thing."

"Thing?" I chuckled out. "Human darlin', her name's Bella."

"I don't care for its name."

"You're not jealous are you?" I chuckled. "You are. How long have we been together?"

Getting to my feet, I walked slowly to him, hearing his growl to back off but paying no attention to it. Wrapping my arms around his waist, I rested my head on his shoulder, feeling his hair tickle my cheek. Turning my head slightly, I ran my nose up the column of his neck, breathing in his scent, before nuzzling against him.

"My king," I whispered against his skin, feeling him shiver against me. "Don't ever be jealous. I stayed away last night because if I had come home, Bella would still be there."

"Do not utter her name."

"Shh, my king." I purred, "I wanted to come home the moment we touched down. I've been gone too long."

"Too long." He agreed, his temper cooling ever so slightly, but I could live with that. "I haven't forgotten outside, either."

"My king," I smiled against his neck, "You started it, but let's not focus on that, shall we? Hmm?"

"You are not worming out of this, Jasper." He broke my hold and resumed his pacing once more. "Just who is she and why is she here?" He demanded.

"Edward's girlfriend of sorts." I shrugged, "She requests a meeting with you, Aro and Marcus."

"She can die." He growled, stopping in his tracks to face. "Don't you dare say you care for her!" Caius roared. "I'll kill her myself if that's true."

"No, you won't." I snapped back, having had about enough of his temper. "She's a nice girl, gifted too." Through that fell on deaf ears as I watched him work up a storm.

"You can not stop me." He moved in front of me, standing toe to toe with me. "I let the whole Alice thing go, do not…"

"Wait a minute, you sent me there!" I spat, "It was you and Aro who decided that Carlisle needed to be looked at, and you," My finger stabbed his chest. "Picked me to go. You sent your own fucking mate there, so don't you dare say you let the Alice thing go when she was the only thing that kept me half fucking sane."

"You seemed happy to go," he snapped back, slapping my hand away.

"Not for fucking twenty years I wasn't." I gritted out through clenched teeth, pushing him back. "Do you realise how that actually was for me? Do you? The woman fell in love with me. Wanted us to try, to fucking try! Do you even know a number of fucking lies I had to spew? Do you?"

"Lies? Ha," he growled, "You have told me how you love her."

"Not this again!" My fist slammed on the table. "I do love her, but not like that. She was a fucking friend to me. Thanks to her, she helped keep up the whole "mates" front even though she wanted more. She was there when you fucking weren't. When I needed to talk to someone, she was there."

"And you could've called me!"

"Oh yes, with the mind reader around? It was bad enough keeping my visits out of Alice's sight and Edward's mind, let alone phone calls. Do you know how many times I've sat on my own, wanting, wishing to come home?" I sighed turning away from him, "Wanting you?"

His hand touched my back "You're mine, Jasper." he murmured in my ear as his fingers drew patterns on my back. "I made a grave mistake by sending you, but you seemed like you had something to prove to me."

"And you are mine." turning around, I let my fingers lace through his. "You are you, of course, I had something to prove. Everyone knows you, knows what a great warrior you are, and then I came along and... I don't know."

Caius rested his forehead against mine. "I'll wait a thousand millennia for you. More if I had too. You never have and never will have anything to prove to me."

His lips touched mine, softly, gently, pouring all his love into one kiss. My hands ran up his arms, feeling his strong muscles underneath my fingertips as they moved towards his thick white locks. Tangling my fingers in his hair, I pulled him closer as I tilted my head slightly to deepen the kiss.

Caius' tongue soon invaded my mouth, touching and caressing mine, as he held me close to his body. A shiver ran through me as I felt his fingers slowly undo the buttons on my shirt, his fingers trailing my skin that became exposed to him. His lips left mine, causing me to groan in protest as he trailed his lips along my jaw and to my ear.

"You're hurting, my mate." He whispered, placing kissing around my ear. Caius' fingers made light work of the rest of the buttons on my shirt before pulling it out of the waistband of my trousers. "Let me love you," He purred, running his fingertips down the planes of my chest and stomach. Taking hold of my hand, he kept his eyes locked on me as he walked backwards, pulling me to our bedroom.

Coming into our room, he paused, letting his eyes roam my form before he pushed my shirt off my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Reaching for him, he stepped back, smirking at me as he shook his head.

"Lie on the bed, Jay." He requested in a husky voice. Raising an eyebrow at him, I reached for him yet again, only to have my fingertips brush the fabric of his shirt. "Don't fight me, Jay, lie down, please."

Complying with his wishes, I crawled up our bed and turned onto my back, letting my head rest against the pillows. Watching him with my lust filled eyes, he slowly unbuttoned his own shirt, never taking his eyes off mine. Soon, it joined mine on the floor, as I watched his fingers undo his belt and pop the button on his trousers.

A hiss escaped me as I drank him in. I'd never trier of seeing him like this, seeing him naked in front of me. My hand reached out to him as he stood at the end of our bed, slowly pulling the zipper of his trousers down. My chest was heaving with unneeded breath as I fought my instinct to grab him and throw him down.

"Please," I whispered, watching as he again took a step back as I sat up with my hand outstretched to him. "Caius…" I groaned, feeling his lust tickle my sense along with his love. "Please." I reached for him again as his trousers fell to his ankles and his hard length sprang free.

Moaning at the sight of him, my fingers touched the head of his cock, feeling it twitch against my palm. He hissed at me as my hand wrapped around his cock, pulling him gently onto the bed. The bed dipped as he knelt on it, his lips finding mine as he removed my hand from him and pushed me back.

"Stay there, Major." He purred against my lips before his own plump lips began to trail wet, open mouthed kisses down my neck and chest.

"Caius…" I pleaded, my fingers gripping his hair as he worked down my body. His teeth began nipping and sucking the planes of my chest, working slowly towards my left nipple.

Scraping my nails across his scalp, I moaned, unashamedly as his tongue flicked against my nipple, turning it into a pebbled bud before he lightly bit down. A breathless moan left my lips, as his lips continued their journey south. My hips bucked against him as his arm brushed against my confined and straining cock.

I felt him smirk against my hip bone, as I groaned out in frustration. Deliberately, he avoided my cock as he nipped my hip done, his fingers slowly working the button and zipper of my trousers.

"Please.." It fell from my lips in a desperate plea as I fisted the sheets. "Caius...Please…" His fingers ghosted ever so slightly over my cock as he pulled the zipper down, making me jolt at the sensation.

"Patience my mate," he breathed, his warm breath ghosting over my cock as he lifted my hips and slowly pulled down my trousers. "I'm loving you." Was all he said, as he pulled off my boots and trousers slowly, devilishly slowly, until I was laid bare before him.

"Beautiful," he breathed, almost to himself as he sat back on his heels in between my legs, looking down at me.

His hooded, black, lust filled eyes locked onto mine as he picked up my right ankle. Breaking eye contact, his wet, warm lips slowly began trailing kisses around my ankle, up my calf and over my knee. My breath was coming out in pants and moans as he reached my inner thigh, and began nipping his way up.

My fingers found their way back into his hair, gripping tightly in a vain hope of control my instinct to take control. I wouldn't though, he needed this, just as much as I needed this, but his torture was killing me slowly.

"Caius…" I begged as his nose skimmed my cock, blowing his breath out and causing me to twitch painfully. My fingers tightened in his hair, holding his head in the place where I needed him to be.

"No, Major." His lust filled voice whispered out as he grabbed my wrist and pulled. "Let go, il mio cuore."

Moaning in protest, I released my death grip in his hair. Caius smiled softly at me as he picked up my other leg and began the same, tortures trail up my leg again. As his teeth nipped against my thigh, I growled out, almost ripping the sheets underneath me.

Just when I thought I could take no more, when my body was so tense and wound up, his warm, wet mouth suddenly took me hole. Caius' lips descended slowly down my cock as my body suddenly relaxed at the contact. My back arched, as I hit the back of his throat and he swallowed around me.

"Yes…" Fell from my lips breathlessly and my body exploded in pure pleasure.

Slowly, his head moved up and up and down my length, taking me all the into his hot wet mouth with every downward stroke. My fingers once again found themselves locked in his hair, as he continued to bob up and down. Caius' hands began to stroke up and down my thighs, causing me to contract and twitch, as his name fell from my lips over and over again, like some mantra.

Caius' fingers cupped my balls, gently pushing and tugging making me thrust into his mouth gently. I didn't want to rush this, we had rushed outside, been locked and caught up in instinct. This wasn't that, this wasn't use coming together after a long break, both battling our vampire. This was love, he was loving me, making me feel things that only he could.

My hips jerked on their own accord as his tongue suddenly swept across my sensitive head. Caius' tongue, licked and swirled around me, as his hand slowly pumped me, keeping just at the brink of ecstasy, but not enough to go over. He sucked just the head into his talented mouth, rolling his lips over the head with every powerful suck.

"Caius…" Again I pleaded, just before he took me all the way into his hot wet mouth. His lips created a tight seal around my cock as he bobbed his head up and down quickly, "Oh fuck...fuck...fuck! I cried out breathlessly as I came hard. My body spasming over and over again as he continued to bob his head, slowing his pace down and letting me ride out my orgasm.

Releasing my cock from his talented mouth, he crawled up my body, trailing hot wet kisses as he went. I could feel his need, pressing against my thigh, twitching, as his lips met mine in a soft gentle kiss. My hands roamed his back as his tongue touched mine, inciting a purr from me as I tasted myself on his tongue.

His own hands locked into my hair, pushing it off my face as he kissed me deeply, yet softly. No rush, no urgent need, just sensual and full of love.

Never breaking his lips from mine, I pushed against him, sitting myself up. Grabbing hold of his strong, muscular thigh, I pulled him onto my lap, before searching the bed blindly with my hand for the lube.

Caius's lips trailed my neck, nipping and sucking on his own mating mark, as I lubed up my once again straining cock. Wrapping his legs around my waist, I lifted him slightly with one hand while my other held the base of my cock.

Teasing him, I rubbed my slickened head around his taught hole, causing him to moan against my neck.

"What do you want my king?" I breathed in his ear, letting him drop down just a fraction so the tip of my cock slid in.

"You, my mate." His lips captured mine as I let him go, allowing him to slowly sink himself down onto me.

Slowly we moved together, gentle upwards trusts meeting his slight lift and rotation of his hips. My hands explored his arms, chest and back. Feeling every dip, every curve of muscle. Feeling his body react and respond to me as my fingertips traced the man I loved. My lips trailed his neck, his jaw. Sucking and nibbling along my path before I reached his swollen lips once more with a soft kiss.

My forehead rested against his, feeling his fingers taking a similar path to the one in which mine were doing on his body.

"I love you," I whispered, letting my emotions come out and wrap around him, just as his hand found mine and entwined our fingers together.

A shiver ran down his spine as he squeezed my hand and bit his bottom lip, almost breaking the skin. Letting go of my hand, he gripped my shoulders, his dark red eyes staring into mine, swirling with contentment, passion and love.

"I love you," He moaned as his head fell to my shoulder and began nuzzling my neck. Holding his hips, I kept him in place as I thrust a little harder into him, causing him to cry out as I brushed against his sweet spot.

His cock was trapped between our bodies, gaining friction with every movement. I knew he wouldn't last much longer, his pants and moans against my skin were becoming erratic and frantic.

"Cum for me, my king," I purred as I bared my neck to him and slammed him down onto me hard, causing us both to moan.

A growl, so primal and animalistic ripped through his chest as he came hard moments before his teeth sunk into my neck. My own growl echoed in response as his tight heat began to milk me, pulling me along with him in his euphoric state. Streams of his cum coated our stomachs as he slowly released my neck, running his tongue lovingly over the mark to seal it once more.

Slowly, we stilled our movements, foreheads pressed together, eyes locked on one another as the rode out the last fragments of our orgasmic state. My lips brushed his before I lifted him off me and he rolled onto his back.

"Stay there, my king," I kissed his cheek moments after the words left my mouth.

Heading to our bathroom, I cleaned myself up with a wet washcloth before grabbing a clean washcloth and returning to him. Gently, I cleaned him up, a blessed smile on his lips with his eyes closed, making me chuckle."

"What has you amused?" He asked, opening his eyes as I threw the washcloth on the floor.

"You," I kissed his nose, earning a playful swat of his hand. "You don't look so fearless and scary right now. In fact, you look like quite the opposite." Caius's lip curled over his teeth on one side.

"I haven't forgotten what happened outside." He mumbled as I laid down next to him on my stomach. He turned to his side, facing me. "I will deal with that later, though. I do not want a fight."

Chuckling, I pulled a pillow under my head. "Did I just hear right? Caius Volturi does not want a fight? Since when?

"Let me rephrase that, as the animal blood has clearly affected you." He pinned me with a questioning look over my now red eyes. "I do not wish to fight with you, not right now." His nail lightly began to trace my spine. "Will you tell me what you feel you had to prove?"

Sighing, I closed my eyes as his nail left my back and his hand took mine. Bringing it to his lips, he kissed my knuckles. "I felt worthless."

"Worthless? How so? Did I not make you feel loved?" He questioned, a frown taking hold of his brow.

"Of course you did. But you have to understand, Caius, I went from war, a human war, to a vampire war, to nothing. At first, it didn't really bother me, but as time wore on, I started to feel like I had no worth anymore. Almost like I was kept pet." Pushing calm towards him, I saw his nostrils flare. "Don't lose your shit, babe. You asked I'm telling you."

"How can you say you were a kept pet?" He seethed slightly, only just managing to keep his cool.

"Think back to it, babe. We met, I came here, and then I just did nothing. It started to grate on me, and I felt undeserving of you. There's you ruling and there's me doing not a lot. I wanted to prove I had a worth."

"Why didn't you say?"

"Because I didn't want to whine like a bitch about it," I replied with a sigh. "Why do you think I so easily agreed? We had been together all those years when you asked me, I finally had something to do."

"Jasper, you should have spoken to me about this." I felt his pang of hurt stab me in the chest.

"Don't feel like that."

"How can I not? I do love you, and you are mine. Yet I failed to notice you weren't happy."

"I was happy, I am happy." I corrected. "I just need to do something, Caius. I can't just do nothing. But if you think I'm going back to play happy families, forget it." I smirked before leaning over and kissing him on the lips.

"Which brings me to my next question," he said, running his thumb under my left eye. "They were gold the last time I saw you. What happened?"

"Bella happened." The mention of her name caused Caius to growl, but I ignored him, now was not the time for another fight. "She got a papercut, I flip my shit and attacked her, well, tried to attack her. I ended up in Seattle, two dead bodies later...you get the drift."

"And you feel how?" Flooding the room with calm, I tried to cool off his ever-simmering temper This was going to go down oh so well. "Jasper!" He snarled, demanding an answer from me.

"Fine, it's not really affected me, like it has in the past." I was stupid if I thought he would buy just that. An eyebrow raised in question, waiting for the rest. "Bella…"

"That human again! What is with her?"

"What is with you and this jealousy?" I snarled, holding his stare. "She just accepted it, she understood that her actions had caused my reaction. She didn't shame me or make me feel guilty, she just accepted it. You know you're the only one that can offer that support to not allow those emotions to cripple me."

"Her?" He roared, his eyes darkening by the second.

"Yes, her. She was a poor substitute, I admit, but she made me feel just a tad bit better." He growled in response. "That's it isn't it? That's what's eaten you up. She helped me and not you." He didn't say anything, instead, he crossed his arms over his chest and began to brood. "You know, it's kinda normal Bella behaviour. She just care's Caius, she's not stupid and she knows this is partly her fault. Don't brood at me."

"I'm not brooding." he spat making me chuckle.

"Aw is the big bad vampire scared that someone may take his toy away?" I teased, as he growled at me.

"I'm in no mood for you're mocking," he growled, moving quickly and pinning me underneath him. "I don't like it, are you happy now?"

"Very. But," I replied flipping us back round, "You have nothing to worry about. She made me feel a hell of a lot better about it. And I care about her, it's partly my fault, well, mostly my fault she's in this mess. Just be thankful I came home not all depressed, and let's move forward." my hands pushed his white blonde hair off his face. "I did tell you earlier, but I don't think you listened. She's gifted."

"She is?" His surprise shocked him slightly. "You know this how?"

"Edward couldn't read her mind." I murmured trailing my lips across his jaw, unable to get enough of him.

"Interesting find if that manifest." He groaned tilting his head to the side to give me better access.

"Didn't I do well, my king?" Grasping his cock in my hand, causing him to buck his hips against me.

"Mhmm," he nodded as I slowly stroked him.

"You going to play nice?" I teased, stilling my movement on his cock. "Caius?" I sang in his ear. "I can't hear you, il mio amore."

"Fine, but I don't have to like her."
