There was only one word I could think of to describe Isle Esme - incredible.
For the past week, Jasper and I had done every activity imaginable: hiking, swimming, snorkeling, playing in the sand...you name it, we did it. We watched movies while cuddling, and he tried to teach me to play chess. I was awful at it, and he beat me within minutes every time.
One of the things I had grown to love the most, though, was dawn, when the bedroom shone golden and I stayed cool and sleepy nestled up against Jasper. Every morning was the same. I would wake to cool fingers sliding through my hair and icy breath on my forehead.
Naturally, since we had made love the once, I wanted more. We could barely keep our hands off each other. Every night, though, I was usually so exhausted, I fell asleep within minutes of getting into bed. It had to have been all the exercise and sea air that made me so tired. I wasn't used to it in Forks.
It was in the early morning at the start of our second week, and I woke up in my usual comfortable state. Sighing, I stretched my legs and cuddled closer to Jasper, turning on my side so my face was buried against his chest. He slid his hand down the back of my head and onto my shoulder, softly stroking my skin, and I felt goosebumps raise under his touch.
Wiggling one leg in between his, I fitted my growing cock in the hollow of his hip and moved gently. Smooth and cool, he felt perfect.
Sighing in contentment, I pressed open mouthed kisses along his chest until I reached his nipple, which I licked. His breath hitched, and I smiled against him.
"Mmm...it's been a week," I mumbled, moving my hips more insistently. My dick was growing more with every small movement, the friction excellent.
Jasper's chest rumbled as he chuckled, at the same time he reached around to cup my ass and pull me tighter against him.
Scooting up a little, I licked his neck. "Holy shit," I managed to breathe. "I need you."
In one swift move, Jasper had me sitting on his thighs, his beautiful body on perfect display. I moved my hips just a little, so my cock was brushing his balls. With a quiet hiss, he gripped my hips, but not hard enough to leave bruises. I wished he would, though. It was so erotic.
"I've been thinking," he said in a near whisper, his black eyes looking directly into mine.
"Yeah? What about?" I asked, leaning over to kiss him, and teasing his lips with my tongue.
"Fuck," he mumbled, leaning his head back. I used the opportunity to gently scrape my teeth over his chin before going to work on his Adam's apple. "About turning you," he managed to continue.
"What about it?" I said, rocking into him in earnest while sucking his neck. He moved his hands from my hips to the small of my back, holding on tight.
"Tonight," he whispered, and I halted all movements. Raising up, I stared at him.
"What?"
"While you were sleeping, I called our families. They are on their way here now, wanting to see you human one last time, and they want to be here for your transformation."
"You're kidding me," I said, in complete shock.
"I'm not," he grinned. "I know you're ready, and I've only been putting it off."
"Jasper..." I sighed with a smile. "Thank you."
"I should be thanking you, for being so patient all this time," he commented, then pulled me in for a kiss. I tilted my head and opened my mouth, inviting him in, and he eagerly pushed his tongue into my mouth.
As we kissed, my chest felt like it would burst with happiness. In three days from tonight, I would have the wish I had been wanting for so long. Desire I had only felt the night we made love rocketed through me, and again, I moved against him with purpose.
He finally moved with me, strong arms wrapped around my back. Breaking our kiss so I could breathe, I moved my mouth to his ear.
"Do you know how much I want you to just fuck me right now?" I panted.
With a growl, Jasper rolled us over and ground his hips against mine. The fluid leaking from our cocks slicked us up nicely and I wrapped my legs around him as best I could, enjoying the ride.
"Oh my God," I stammered, turned on beyond belief. My mind couldn't process anything other than Jasper moving above me. The sun shined into the room, causing Jasper's skin to glimmer where it wasn't shadowed.
Jasper dipped his head to my neck, licking and sucking my skin with fervor.
"Please, Jasper," I breathed, aching to feel him inside me.
Without a word, my lover reached over to the table beside us and brought out the lube. In a flash, he slicked his fingers and teased me unmercifully with them.
"Yes," I whispered, arching into him as he prepared me.
We took our time, savoring every movement, every long second of pure bliss as we made love. Jasper brought me to the brink with hard, fast thrusts, only to slow down and build the pleasure all over again. After what seemed like hours, neither one of us could hold on anymore, and we fucked with abandon, chasing our releases.
I thought I was going to burst when my orgasm hit me with enough force to send me to dizzying heights of ecstasy. Clinging to Jasper, I writhed and screamed with my teeth against his impenetrable shoulder. Jasper followed right after, with an animalistic growl of my name.
When I finally returned to my senses, albeit a sweating, shaking, heaving mess, Jasper still hovered over me, gazing down with liquid gold eyes, looking wonderfully debauched and sated.
"Are you all right?" he asked, so softly I could barely hear him.
"Perfect," I sighed with a small smile.
"Our families should arrive sometime this afternoon," he said as he pushed my hair out of my face.
Nodding, I pulled him back down on top of me and wrapped my arms around his waist, wanting to be close for just a little while longer. In the aftermath of the post orgasm glow, a little fear started trickling in, making me wonder what the change was going to be like. Of course, I had no doubt Jasper would take care of me.
I had no idea how long we laid there. The sun rose higher in the sky outside the open French doors, and it was my stomach rumbling that finally urged me to get up.
"Guess I'll go shower, then find some food," I commented as Jasper moved off of the bed. I couldn't help but stare at his lithe body as he walked around the room, cleaning up the mess we'd made. He didn't bother with dressing, and I silently wished he'd walk around naked more often.
Getting out of bed, I went into the bathroom and wasted no time in getting washed up. When I finished and returned to our bedroom, Jasper had already showered in the other bathroom and dressed in board shorts and a tank.
"Wow," I said. "No pillow casualties?"
"Not this time," he chuckled. "Carlisle called. They are in Rio, getting on boats to come out here."
"That was fast," I said as we walked out of the bedroom toward the kitchen.
"Jacob is with them," Jasper told me in a low voice.
"What? Why?" I demanded, opening the fridge a little too angrily, causing a couple of cans of soda to fall out of the door. Grabbing a sandwich wrapped in foil and one of the sodas that had fallen, I put the rest back and closed the door.
"Bella," he answered simply.
Rolling my eyes, I sat at the table and began to eat. The thought occurred to me it was one of the last meals I would have, of real food, that was. Oddly enough, I was okay with it.
Not long after I finished, Jasper and I were outside under the shade of a palm tree, playing chess, when we heard boats nearby. Abandoning our game, we walked to the shore and watched as our families approached. As soon as everyone was on land and the boats were tied off at the dock, I was stunned by the hugs and laughing and greetings. I was happy to see everyone, of course, but all the excitement felt strange after the peacefulness Jasper and I had shared alone.
Eventually, everyone got into the house and stored their luggage in the two spare bedrooms. Bella was chatting excitedly to Jacob about the sand and sea. Mom and Dad exclaimed over how nice the house was, and what a great gift Carlisle had given to his wife. Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper's brother and sisters were gracious to my family and Jacob, pointing out the kitchen and bathroom and letting them know to make themselves at home.
I stayed off to the side, near Jasper. With all the hustle and bustle, I felt the need to be close to him. Emmett eventually sidled up next to us and bumped my shoulder, making me almost fall over.
"How's it goin', bro?" he asked, out of earshot of everyone else.
"Fine, I guess," I answered. "All the noise is kinda weird."
He snorted. "Tell me about it. Soooo..." he hedged, and Jasper shot him a glare.
"Don't start, Emmett."
"Can't help it," he answered, watching everyone get settled in the living room with food and drinks. "You know how us guys are."
"Yeah, I know," I said. "Sex all the time."
"Well?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow at me, then wiggling it.
Smiling, I said, "We've had sex twice in a week. Happy?"
"Very," he answered. "Annnd...?"
"Jesus," Jasper huffed. "You want to know every detail?"
"No," Emmett pouted. "I just wanna know if you treated our boy here right."
I could feel my face get hot, and I turned to face my soon-to-be brother. "Okay. Here you go, Emmett," I said. "Jasper was fucking incredible. Just this morning, he had me screaming. There. Satisfied?"
Emmett's mouth hung open at my less than quiet admission, then his lips curved in a slow grin. "That's what I'm talkin' bout!" he yelled, laughing, and clapped Jasper on the back.
"You seriously want an ass kicking, don't you?" Jasper asked sternly, even though the corner of his mouth was turned up in a grin, his eyes shining with happiness and pride.
"It's on!" Emmett said enthusiastically, and the two pushed and shoved each other out the doors and onto the sand.
I stood, leaning against the doorframe with a smile as I watched my mate and my brother play fight. They were kicking up outrageous amounts of sand, laughing and teasing one another. Sighing, I thought there was nowhere on earth I'd rather be in that moment.
A hand on my shoulder startled me.
"You okay, Edward?"
It was Dad.
"Fine," I answered, giving him a smile.
"You look good," he commented. "Jasper's treating you well."
"He is."
"Listen, son," he said, awkwardly shifting from foot to foot. "I know I've told you before, but I approve of you and Jasper, you know. The Cullens are a great family. I'm happy you found love with one of them."
Touched, I replied, "Thank you, Dad. That means a lot."
He smiled. "I also approve of their lifestyle, and I think you'll fit in perfectly. I know we won't be able to see you for a while after tonight, so I just wanted to tell you I'm happy for you."
Turning, I hugged my dad tight. He hugged me back briefly, then let me go as Jasper and Emmett bounded in through the door, laughing and punching each other.
The afternoon wore on with talking, swimming, and just hanging out. There were a few melancholy moments, like when Mom insisted she make her fried chicken for me for dinner. I was touched by her offer, and had to hold back tears as I told her that would be great.
Dinner was rather interesting. All of the Cullens sat around the table as my family and I ate, and Emmett thought it was a good idea to try some of Mom's chicken. We all told him it was a bad idea, and Jasper cringed as his brother took a chicken leg off of the platter and held it up to his nose.
Em wrinkled his nose, then bit off a big chunk. Alice made a disgusted sound, while Rosalie warned him she wouldn't have pity on him when he got sick. Esme shook her head at the same time Carlisle rolled his eyes.
Emmett chewed for a second, then fled the room at vampire speed. The whole table erupted in laughter. He returned in less than a minute, and didn't question why we thought the food was so good again.
"Did you swallow it?" Alice asked with wide eyes.
"Oh, hell no!" Em exclaimed. "It was like a mouthful of...I don't know...mud?"
"Well," Jasper said nonchalantly, "I guess that answers the question of whether Emmett spits or swallows."
Everyone cracked up again, and I nearly choked on my food. It was a great meal.
After, we all settled in the living room once again. Jacob and Bella picked a movie, but I was disinterested. It was nearing sunset, and only one thing was on my mind. Shortly after the moon rose, I would be bitten by Jasper so I could start my new life.
Walking outside, I sat on the sand, and pulled my knees up to my chest. It was peaceful and soothing. The families stayed indoors, leaving me to my thoughts. I was thankful for that. Being turned had been my dream for so long, and now that the time was near, it finally sunk in that tonight was the night. No more talk about it, no more refusals. In three days, I would be a vampire.
When the sun finally slid out of sight, I got to my feet and headed inside. Everyone was talking quietly, but I could feel the change in atmosphere. They were nervous. Perching on the edge of the couch, I tried to concentrate on their conversation, which had dwindled since I entered the room.
"Are you ready, Edward?" Jasper asked, standing next to me.

My mate took a deep breath, one of his last, and nodded. I reached my hand out to him and he took it. His hand was trembling. He looked at the faces of the family and gave them a small smile.
"Well, here goes nothing," he tried to joke, but no one laughed. Elizabeth had tears in her eyes, and I wasn't sure if they were happy or sad. I knew she was going to miss her son, but he would be the same person, only better. My siblings and parents looked pleased; they were happy he was finally joining the family officially. Jacob had his arm around Bella and she just stared at Edward. It was obvious she was frightened.
Pulling Edward into my side, I dropped his hand and wrapped my arm around his waist, trying to assure him that everything was going to be alright. We walked, followed by everyone else, to our room.
Edward Senior and Elizabeth hung back, along with Bella and Jacob, and my family convened next to the bed. My other half situated himself in the middle of the bed and fidgeted around until he was comfortable.
Esme pulled his shoes off and Emmett, who was closest to him, patted his shoulder.
"You have nothing to worry about, bro. In no time, we'll be out in the woods seeing who can catch the bigger deer."
Edward swallowed hard and nodded, giving Em a half smile. Silently, I thanked my brother for trying to make him feel better. Rosalie stepped up next to Emmett, giving me a sympathetic grin. "It'll be over soon," she said quietly.
Carlisle walked up and took Edward's hand. "We aren't leaving your side, son. When you wake, we'll be here to help you and welcome you into your new life. I can't tell you how happy we are to have you joining our family." He squeezed my mate's hand once and let it go.
"Thank you, Carlisle."
Esme came up to the bedside and kissed Edward on the forehead. "See you when you wake."
She stepped back and Alice took her place. "Oh, Edward, I am so excited! You are going to be amazing."
"Thanks, Alice," he chuckled, then looked at me. I sat on the edge of the bed and faced my mate. This was it; the moment I had been waiting for since I first laid eyes on him. If my heart could beat, it would be racing. My unneeded breath was coming out in pants as I kicked off my shoes and sat fully on the bed, facing Edward. I was sitting on my knees with my ass resting on my heels so if I lost control when I bit him, Emmett could pull me away. He was already behind me.
Carlisle was speaking to Edward's parents, letting them know everything would be all right. Trying to shut out their voices, I focused all of my attention on my mate. He gazed up at me with worried eyes, and I took his hand and kissed it.
"Nothing to worry about," I whispered, and he nodded. His heart was beating furiously, making the scent of his blood so much more appealing.
Slowly, I turned his hand over and pressed my face into his palm. Breathing in deeply, I skimmed my nose over his wrist, placing a small kiss, and continued up to the crook of his arm, where I briefly licked.
Edward's breath caught in his throat and I smiled at him. I shouldn't have been prolonging this, but I wanted to savor the last moments of feeling his blood pulse through his veins. Leaning over, I stroked my mate's hair off of his forehead and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Your eyes are black," he whispered with a gentle smile. "They're beautiful."
"Nothing compared to you." I kissed him again, slowly. "Thank you for accepting me, Edward. I am the happiest man on the planet right now."
"So am I." His expression turned from serious to playful. "Jasper?"
"Yes?"
"Bite me."
Closing my eyes, I inhaled sharply at his command. The monster within was overjoyed at his words and I took his lips with mine. This was the last time I would feel their warmth and softness. I briefly flicked them with my tongue to taste them, then skimmed my lips over his cheek to his neck. He tilted his head sideways and I breathed him in. Fuck, he always smelled so delicious and, in just a couple of moments, I would taste what had been calling to me since his first day in Biology.
Slowly, I trailed kisses from just under his ear down to the delicate curve at the start of his shoulder.
"Jasper," he whispered, trembling, "please...bite me now."
That was all I needed to hear. Moving my mouth back up his neck, I licked his pulse point once, opened my mouth, and bit into his tender, yielding flesh.
Thank y'all for reading! The next chap is well underway, so it should be soon.
