Chpt 38 Taking Care of Business

BPOV

We have 48 hours to get everything in place an' they feel long, terrified as I am that something fatal will happen to my family in the meantime. Many times I've surged to my feet with the intention of seeking out The Volturi right away an' every time Major Sensible has talked me out of it.

Humans are so slow, I don't just mean physically, the US government in action is like watching slow motion photography of the earth's crust moving. The slowest thing since slow was slowed down. How The Major hasn't chowed down on somebody I don't know, even I've been tempted.

I go along with all the teams making physical preparations to ensure they leave no scent. The temptation to do everything for them is enormous but for the most part I resist an' watch them silently. Their reactions to me were varied. Lust, fear, curiosity, disbelief, more fear an' jealousy. I hadn't given it much thought but I'm a vampire now, gorgeous by design an' graceful by default it's the first time I've really spent enough time around humans to reap the benefits. It's actually kinda nice. I'm especially enjoying the reactions of some of the men, not because I want to be chatted up by strange human men, but because of the effect it's having on Jasper. Bless him.

It's a delicate an' complicated bargain we've made with the humans to get them to help us an' I'm not sure they really appreciate what a long shot it is. We're reasonably certain that they won't suffer for it, otherwise we would never have involved them, however if the plan doesn't work Jasper an' I are gonna end up just as dead. Aro might be tempted by the idea of getting us to join the Guard but when he realises how completely we've exposed him to humans he's going to be pissed. What we are gambling on, thanks to what Gus has told us about him, is that involving the humans will enable us to create a stalemate. The more we've talked with the humans the more we've realised that we will be making an empty threat but we're banking on Aro not coming to the same conclusion. At least not until the Whitlocks are as far away from him as its vampirely possible to get.

The radio in my ear crackles an' Jasper's voice pulls me back to the present.

"What ya doin'?" He drawls.

"Dyin' of boredom." I sigh, keying the mike. "They're so slow."

He laughs. "Wanna come meet me on the roof?"

"In the worst possible way but if you think we're treating them to a round of vampire sex on top of everythin' else we've exposed you've got another think comin'."

"Aw, darlin' you're no fun." He whines.

I laugh without keying the mike, knowing that he can hear me anyway.

"You're a pervert." I scold him.

"If only you knew darlin', if only you knew." His low dirty chuckle sets my lady parts a flutter so I end the conversation an' take a tour of my team to see if they are nearly done.

Call me childish but I love getting to play with the secret service ear pieces an' radios, we don't really need them but I insisted, makes me feel special.

I have to say I'm impressed, they might be agonisingly sluggish but their grasp of technology is amazing, I'm a vampire an' even I can't see the gizmos they've planted around the building an' the wireless technology means there's no tell-tale electronic hum. It's pretty nifty.

Just as we are clearing up to leave a scuffle breaks out on the roof, the noise makes its way down the fire escape an' reaches our floor in the form of The Major clutching two frantically struggling secret service Agents.

"Anymore of you fuckers been plantin' explosives?" He demands.

Everyone shakes their heads emphatically.

"Explosives?" I ask him, that wasn't part of the plan.

"Fall-back position apparently." The Major informs me. "If everythin' goes to shit they were gonna blow the buildin' with us in it."

"Evans!" I bark into my radio. "Get up here!"

Evans, the Agent in Charge, hustles through the door a few moments later.

"Explosives?" I drawl. "I thought we agreed that they were a; pointless an' b; easily detectable to your average vampire nose?"

"We thought whatever you were doing to shield our scents would work on the C4." He shrugs giving me a 'you can't blame a guy for trying' look.

"Well it won't." I inform him trying hard not to laugh, I have a soft spot for Evans, and he reminds me of Charlie. "An' Jasper an' I don't particularly want to be blown up. Is there anymore?"

"No Ma'am. We were just gonna rig the roof."

The Major releases his Agents an' hands him the C4 with a snarl.

"Food does not make decisions on its own." He reminds Evans before stalking away.

He's not much of a diplomat when he's angry. It takes me about half an hour to smooth out all the ruffled feathers, indignant food, you have to laugh. It's another hour or so before the site is properly cleaned up so no vampire will be able to tell we've been there. When the last of the undercover vans have departed into the night I go in search of Major Grumpy.

Eventually I track him down to a tree in Rock Creek Park, when I've got him under my shield it works a bit like GPS, just as well because there's no scent to follow.

"I believe I'm stressed out." He chuckles as I sit down under his tree.

"You need to stop terrorising the humans." I giggle. "They might change their minds about our deal."

"No. They won't." Still chuckling. "They got what they wanted so it doesn't hurt to remind 'em to tread carefully."

"Well you certainly did that. Half of 'em are gonna be off with stress after tomorrow night. That's as long as they aren't dead."

"That won't happen." He assures me, dropping down in front of me. "We've set it up pretty good, there might be some collateral damage but they should be safe."

"Am I a monster?" I ask him quietly, looking down at my hands.

"No darlin'." He says lovingly, crouching down an' taking my hands in his big strong ones. "You've done your best to make sure they stay alive while at the same time doin' everythin' you can to keep your family safe. I'm proud of you, my love."

I look up into his golden eyes. Jasper coma.

Wordlessly he picks me up bridal style an' sets off for the government safe house we've been given for the night.

The scent of roses hits me before he even opens the door. Inside the homely little apartment is lit by candles an' strewn with rose petals.

"How did you find time to get this done?" I gasp.

"Evans." He smirks. "Cheeky bastard agreed he owed me one after that stunt they pulled this afternoon. Fuckin' C4, I should have made him eat it."

"Oh no." I pout. "Don't go all grumpy on me now, I was startin' to feel kinda romantic."

"How romantic?" He asks waggling his eyebrows.

"Very. Romantic." I say huskily dragging my fingernail backwards an' forwards across his chest.

He slides me down onto my feet an' turns me to face him, his dark intense gaze taking my breath away an' making my knees go weak with anticipation.

"Oh darlin'." He says, his voice thick with desire as he drops gracefully to his knees in front of me. "The things I'm gonna do to you."

I close my eyes as he trails his hands up my legs from ankle to thigh, sliding my no nonsense skirt up an' hooking his thumbs into the front of my panties. Leaning forwards he buries his face in the junction of my thighs.

"You smell so good darlin'." He murmurs, ripping my panties away an' breathing me in.

He opens his mouth an' sucks my flesh into it.

"You taste so fuckin' good."

Oh Jesus, my eyes roll up into my head.

His tongue darts out, tasting me, an' my knees start to tremble, mercilessly he drags his tongue backwards an' forwards through my wet folds, big hands grasping my hips to try to hold me still.

"Sit down." He growls, giving me a little shove.

Boneless I flop back onto the couch an' he grabs my thighs, pulling me down further so my hips are dangling from the edge. Stalking forwards on his knees his black eyes bore into mine as he manoeuvres himself between my legs. Without breaking eye contact he slides one of his long fingers inside me pumping it hard as I gasp an' arch my back.

Still staring he adds a second finger an' brushes his thumb lightly across my throbbing clit. He thrusts his fingers in an' out of me an' continues to swirl this thumb while I gasp, moan an' writhe. The sensations driving me mad with desire but not quite giving me what I crave.

"Oh god, Jasper. Please."

His perfect lips quirk into a smirk. "Tell we what you want darlin'."

"Oh god, please, I want your mouth on me."

Groaning he lowers his face between my legs, gently an' delicately trailing his tongue across my wet flesh an' tracing around my entrance. I moan again pushing myself towards him an' he grasps the soft flesh of my ass suddenly, lifting me up to him an' attacking my clit seriously with his tongue.

Licking, nipping an' kissing he soon has me moaning and screaming, my limbs thrashing wildly as the heat roars through me scorching my nerve endings an' stimulating my muscles to twitch out of control. Abruptly he thrusts three fingers inside me, pumping them hard an' curling them into my sensitive spot. With a raw scream my first orgasm flashes through me an' I tighten around his fingers a flood of warmth washing onto his hand.

His tongue an' fingers slow their assault on me, gradually bringing me down as he laps, purring contentedly, at the wetness between my thighs. My hands find their way to his hair, rubbing the silken strands between my fingers.

We stay like that for a while, me playing with his hair, him licking lazily at my still sensitive flesh, fingers flexing slightly inside me.

Suddenly he nips at my nub an' I gasp clenching my walls around his still probing fingers.

With a growl he leans back flipping me over onto my front an' placing my knees on the carpet.

"Don't move darlin', I'll be right back." He orders.

I moan a little as I hear the tell tale sound of him removing clothes. An' I jump as I feel him pressing against me as he undoes the button on my skirt an' lowers the zipper. Slowly he eases the skirt down until it pools around my knees on the floor. I jump again as I feel his lips press against my ass cheek, his tongue flicking out before his razor sharp teeth nip it briefly.

He slides his hands up under my jacket, massaging my back through the silk of my blouse until he reaches my shoulders. Covering me with his body he leans down an' nibbles at the skin behind my ear as he spreads his hands an' slips the jacket from my shoulders, peeling it down my arms and away. Still kissing my neck he slips his hands underneath me massaging my breasts an' tugging at my aching nipples. I groan an' push back against him until I feel his erection, tantalisingly close to my body but he moves away from me a little with a warning growl.

"Jasper."

He chuckles, low an' dirty, breath tickling my ear. "You be a good girl." He whispers, nipping my ear lobe. "An' you'll get what you want. Eventually."

"Pig." I groan.

"Oink, oink." He chuckles, pinching my nipples roughly.

I push back into him again an' this time he grinds himself against me, shoving me forwards into the couch with a growl.

"Darlin'." He moans into my skin, grinding himself into me again. "I'm tryin' to tease you here, will you please co-operate?"

"Ungh, try away."

"Ah, fuck it woman." He growls, tearing my bra an' blouse away from me in one swift movement before transferring his hands to my hips an' slipping his cock between my thighs.

I'm so wet he moves between them easily, sliding his length through my folds an' pushing the tip briefly against my clit before slipping back again. With each thrust he presses me into the couch, the rough fabric scraping deliciously against my swollen nipples. Desperately turned on I sink my teeth into one of the cushions to avoid crying out.

Growls an' snarls are building in his throat an' I can't help but smile. He won't be teasing me for much longer . . .

"Jasper." I pant. "I want you inside me, now."

"No." He grinds out through his teeth, teasing me mercilessly with his cock.

I clench my thighs tighter together, increasing the friction an' drawing a long painful groan from his lips.

"Behave." He warns me, his voice harsh.

Fat chance. I start thrusting back against him, the sound of our bodies coming together causing me to pant an' his growls to increase. Nearly there.

"Jasper, please, I'm begging you. Fuck me." I twist my face back over my shoulder an' lick my lips.

With an almost desperate howl he changes the angle of my hips an' plunges inside me.

"Yes!" I scream. I win.

"Bella." He hisses, giving in completely an' clutching my hips painfully as he drives into me.

Over an' over, harder an' harder. Parting an' opening me easily with each powerful thrust, moulding me an' stretching me to fit him and then pulling out a little, my muscles automatically tightening around him to try an' keep him deep inside me.

Now we're both panting an' grunting, lost in the sensations coursing through our bodies. He changes the angle of my hips again, pushing my body further down into the couch and entering me more deeply. I cry out as heat an' electricity race through me an' another orgasm builds.

Sensing it he drives into me even harder, holding my hips tightly as the couch starts trying to carry me away from him.

"Cum for me Bella." He growls. "I want to feel you cum around my hard cock as I fuck you."

Oh god, dirty talking Jasper. With a growl of my own I clamp my muscles around him as hard as I can heightening the pleasure of him moving deep an' fast within me. In moments my body can stand it no longer an' he drives me thrashing an' screaming over the edge limbs twitching madly as the unbearable tension in my muscles in released by a tide of white hot heat.

As I gasp an' pant he shows no mercy, settling back down on his knees pulling my trembling body with him. Holding me tightly to his chest he continues to roll his hips moving himself inside me as his hands knead my breasts an' his mouth attacks my neck.

Within minutes I am moaning again, grinding myself down on him trying to get him as deep inside me as I can. Switching his mouth to the other side of my neck he slides his hand down my body until his fingers find my pulsing clit. Moaning a little he begins to rub it between his fingers, the feeling sends a jolt of electricity through me an' I start gyrating up and down on him with almost total lack of control.

With a snarl he bites down on my shoulder pushing me roughly forwards with his chest, one arm wrapped around my waist supporting my body the other stroking my over stimulated bundle of nerves more forcefully.

In this new position I am completely powerless as he plunges into me harder an' faster. His lips moving constantly against my bare back as he murmurs his pleasure to me.

"Darlin' . . . . god . . . . tight . . . . want . . . . fuck . . . . you like . . . . love . . . . must . . . ."

Unavoidable, inevitable, tingling radiates out across my body, clenching my muscles so tight they judder reflexively. Heat follows until my skin is so hot it almost feels coated with sweat.

Mindlessly I start begging for release, my hands fisted in the couch cushions. Behind me Jasper's words are almost gone too his harsh breathing matching my own.

"So close, so close." He moans picking up the pace of his thrusts one final time an' pushing me forwards a little more so he can press deeper.

I scream as the pressure inside me becomes too much an' explodes outwards from where he fills me, every tensed muscle shattering, head thrown back as the mother of all orgasms annihilates me in intensely building waves.

"God, Bella!" He roars, his own body snapping taut as he throbs an' jerks inside me, his rhythm stuttering as his own climax hits him, hard, an' the pulsating of my walls drains him dry.

He collapses on top of me burying his face in my hair an' I can't help but sigh in contentment.

Tease me huh?

Woman; One. Man; Spent. Smug much?

After a while he moves again, snagging my ear lobe with his teeth an' I can feel him stirring and growing hard inside me.

"Oh, ho, ho, darlin'." He chuckles darkly. "You're in so much fuckin' trouble now."

God I love this man.

A/N I thought if they were gonna go, they might as well go happy. I'm such a softie, lol . . . .
