Only At Night

Chapter 14

Stalker

I woke up early Saturday morning and made Bella breakfast in bed; scrambled eggs, toasted bagel, juice and coffee. Bella woke at 7:30 and devoured her breakfast. She was cute when she was hungry. The woman ate with a passion that rivaled my own. Too sexy. She spilled eggs down her chin and I leaned down and licked them up for her taking much longer than was actually necessary to run my tongue up and down her lap.

Well that started something and she pushed her tray to the end of the bed and pulled at my hair. I was only too willing to oblige her wishes and knelt up to meet her lips. She kissed me with such love and devotion that it warmed my heart and I returned the emotions with my own kisses. Kissing Bella was never the same, the intensity was forever growing and it reminded me of a forest fire that consumed everything in its path indiscriminately. So it was this Saturday morning; all consuming.

If kissing Bella was amazing, then making love to her was ethereal. Riding on clouds wouldn't compare to the sensation being enveloped in her warmth. Every thrust took on deeper and hotter sensations that ran through my loins. Her body matched mine at every curve in ways that should have been reserved for celestial beings. To say we became one when we made love would be cliché to what the experience truly provided.

The ways her legs wrapped around my waist and fit perfectly; the ways her arms wove around my neck and her fingers wrapped around the curls of my hair; the way her chin tucked so neatly under my chin against my shoulder; all of it such a natural fit, so meant to be, matched so perfectly by the way my arms fit around her body and the way my hips and waist nested her comfortably.

We made slow tender love, reaching the heights of pleasure together over and over as we made use of every inch of our bed. Whispering endearments of our love into one another's ears nibbling and sucking at random intervals begging for attention we feasted on each other.

Bella went to shower and I returned the breakfast tray to the kitchen and cleaned up the dishes. Checking cabinets to learn where things belonged. The phone in the kitchen rang and I heard Bella call out, "Can you grab that?" so I answered it.

"Hello?"

I heard breathing and repeated myself, "Hello?"

CLICK.

"Who was it?" Bella asked as she walked into the kitchen in a skimpy Pink silk robe looking all hot and sexy.

"I don't know; whoever it was hung up." Mmm she looked and smelled delicious.

"Hmm, 'unkown caller' probably a wrong number; I've gotten a bunch of those lately." Bella checked the caller Id and returned the phone to its cradle.

"Hey, the realtor gave me a worksheet for us to fill out to help us narrow down our search. Do you want to take a look at it?" I went to grab the file folder from my bag and Bella followed me to the bedroom.

I handed Bella the worksheet and she started reading the questions out loud and answering them. So far she had answered each question the same way I had. Maybe this was going to be easy.

The next question was going to be the challenge. I couldn't wait for her reaction.

"Budget. Well, obviously there is a bit of a discrepancy between what we can afford. Jasper, I don't care if you want to spend more than half of what I can afford. I need to sell this place first so I don't even know right now what I can put towards a new place, but I want both of us to be comfortable in our home. So why don't you tell me what you need to be comfortable and if something is too much for me to handle I'll say so. We'll work out a way to handle the percentage of ownership based on what we put into it, ok?"

"Bella, I want you to be comfortable both in the home we choose and the financial decisions we make together. If you want to keep this house and rent it out we can do that too. Real Estate is always a good investment and the market for selling isn't as good as the market for buying. I'm sure we can get a great deal on a new place right now, but if you aren't going to get a great deal on selling this one, don't feel like you have to sell it."

"Okay, why don't we call a realtor here and get a market evaluation and see what the comparables have been selling for. If it makes more sense to keep this place I'm okay with that, how will we work that out, would I just retain sole ownership of this place and you buy the new one on your own? What if something happens to one of us?"

"Bella, you are always the lawyer aren't you?" I chuckled.

"Sorry, it just becomes second nature after awhile." She blushed.

"Well, I have a solution." I gave her a cocky grin and pulled her closer kissing the top of her head.

"Oh really, and what might that be?" She smirked, teasing me.

"Well you could just marry me and it wouldn't be an issue."

"What?"

"That wasn't a proposal, I would never propose that way, just so you know, when I ask for your hand it will be the proper way."

"Oh 'when', huh?" She was bright red.

"Yeah, 'when', darlin'." I kissed the top of her head.

"Well, then we better add a nursery to the wish list cowboy." She was grinning like she had just won the battle.

"Really, awesome, let's do two one for the girls and one for the boys." I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"You want kids some day Jasper?" Bella turned serious.

"Yeah, I think so, do you?" I backed away to look her in the eyes.

"Yeah, someday." She smiled.

BPOV

We spent the morning going over the worksheets from the realtor and looking at the houses she forwarded to Jasper's email. There were so many decisions to make and everything was moving so fast, but it felt so right. It turned out we both liked the craftsman style and Jasper was no more interested in a giant mansion than I was. He did want more space than I felt we needed and insisted on as big a lot as possible. I guess growing up on thousands of acres would make you feel claustrophobic if you had to live fifty feet from your neighbors. I would love a big yard though and to be able to have little flower and vegetable gardens. If he really was half as bad as I was with his office space we would need separate office areas as well and probably a guest room so Peter and Charlotte could visit and maybe Rose and Emmett maybe even Mike.

I left him looking at listings while I went and made us a salad for lunch and brought it in the bedroom to share. We still had several hours until we had to meet Rose and Emmett for dinner, but I didn't want to spoil my appetite and I was really hungry for something other than food. I made quick work of the salad watching him out of the corner of my eye. Damn, he was so sexy, just lying there on the bed in nothing but his jeans.

"Jasper, I need you." I bit my bottom lip

"Mmm. I need you too Bella." He looked up over his glasses. Ummf.

"I mean, I need you like now. I want you. Jasper, please, I need you to fuck me. I love the slow sweet, tender way you make love to me, the way you take care of me, but right now I need you to fuck me. I need that all consuming hard, fast, raw passion. I need those leather boots between my feet, the frantic, hot, deep feeling of you pounding into me relentlessly. I need you to take me, claim me, make me yours. Please Jasper; please I just want you to fuck me senseless."

Jasper stared at me for several seconds. I could see the flashes of emotion in his eyes, shock, surprise, understanding, love and lust. He got out of the bed and stood, pacing for a few seconds as I watched him. He looked nervous, but his eyes were dark with desire.

"You tell me to stop at anytime, I'll stop immediately, do you hear me, if it's too much, if I'm hurting you; you say it." He looked down at me a questioning look in his eyes.

"OK." I agreed knowing I would never say it; he wouldn't hurt me. I trusted him completely and he had to learn that.

"Get up." It was like flipping a switch. He went from a myriad of emotions to one. Another side of him took over; I liked this side, I'd seen it in the penthouse. God, just the look on his face, the deep gravelly demand in his voice had made me wet already. I complied and stood right at the edge of the bed silently challenging him with my eyes.

"Come here." His eyes darkened to nearly black as he growled the order at me. Mmm.

I moistened my lips and stared into his eyes as I sauntered the few steps to him stopping right in front of him, the bed behind me.

"Take off that robe." The sex oozed out in his southern drawl.

I peeled the robe from my left shoulder letting it slip down my arm and untied the silk belt. Looking back into his eyes I slid my left hand out of the sleeve and took my freed hand to push the right shoulder down allowing the robe to slide down my arm and fall to the floor pooling at my feet.

"Very nice." Jasper smirked as I stood before him completely naked as his raked over my body with lecherous eyes.

"Touch yourself." He shifted his weight forward slightly but remained standing in his place.

Reaching down between my legs I found the wet flesh and ran my fingers through the moisture collecting it on my fingers. I held my fingers up between us taunting him to taste me.

"Lick it off with your tongue." He smirked. Oh my, I didn't see that coming, but I did as he asked.

"Good, now suck your fingers clean." I did as I was told and pumped my fingers in and out of my mouth swirling my tongue around them, lapping it in and out of my mouth around my fingers while I stared into his eyes.

"You like teasing me don't you, you bad girl. If you are not careful, teasing is all I am going to do to you and we both know that isn't what you want."

I continued plunging my fingers in and out of my mouth and lowered my other hand between my legs.

"That's better."

Enough with the teasing I needed him. I knew I couldn't beg or he'd hold out longer. I knew he was just making sure I was ready for him so he wouldn't hurt me so I kept playing with myself for him. The way we watched me with lust in his eyes made me so hot. My stomach clenched and my legs were growing heavy with the quickly approaching orgasm threatening to explode.

"Good girl, now cum for me."

"Oh God." That was all it took, his gravelly voice's demand and my body tightened with the release of my first orgasm. He smirked and shifted his body closer to mine as he pushed my legs open with his knee and ground his leg between mine rubbing the course denim of his Levis hard against my throbbing clit. I moaned; Jasper laughed.

"Undo my pants naughty girl."

Sliding my hand into his waistband I pulled him even closer and ground my dripping core into his thigh as I unbuttoned his 501s.

Stopping, looking to him for further instruction or permission he smiled. Hmm, I wonder if he'd have punished me if I had gone further.

"Very good, now take them off so I can fuck you properly." He stepped back withdrawing his leg that I had clenched between my thighs.

Making fast work of his jeans I pulled them off and threw them over to the chair. In his usual fashion, especially early in the morning, he was commando and my job was done, standing before him I relished his naked body so ready for me, twitching in its excitement.

"Turn around and bend over, hold on to the footboard and don't let go unless I tell you to."

Oh hell, he was so hot I was going to cum again before he even touched me. Fuck I just realized he had yet to touch me and I was already a pooled wreck of nerves.

Warm hands circled around my hips tightly squeezing.

"Don't move." Hot breath tickled my ear and his teeth grazed my skin as he whispered to me.

Suddenly his hands were gone and the shiver that ran up and down my spine subsided. I had the vague notion that he was not behind me anymore but I didn't dare move to look. My need for him was all consuming and I couldn't wait much longer for him to take me.

The warm breath reappeared on my shoulder and neck. Strong hands pulled back on my hips and a supple leather boot pushed against my right foot spreading me wider for him. Oh God, my eyes rolled back at the sight of that boot and I bucked my hips begging for contact.

"Don't move." Oh fuck, his hands stilled my hips almost painfully, causing me to whimper in desire.

His left hand stretched across my lower stomach, across my mound taking hold on my right hip while his right hand trailed up my body roughly rubbing across my breasts, pinching each nipple hard once and continued to trail up my throat and around to the back of my neck under my hair.

Fingers fisted into the hair at the back of my neck and I felt a rough pull on my hair yanking my head up away from my bent body at the same time I felt his tip at my entrance.

His hand loosened on my hair and my head dropped back down only to be yanked back again as he entered me completely in one stroke.

"OH God." I screamed with the pleasure.

"Is this what you want? You want to be fucked hard?" He pulled nearly all the way out and slammed back in.

"Yes." My knees were already shaking.

Teeth grazed my shoulder blade as his body bent over mine; he pulled my hips back to him and plunged in again as he stood back up pulling my fisted hair giving me a view of the ceiling as he pounded hard and fast, growling.

"Do you like it like this, you like me pounding into you?" That slow, quiet, sexy drawl was prevalent when he talked dirty. Mmm, how I loved that.

"God yes."

"I'm going to fuck you so hard like this and then when I'm done I'm going to fuck you on your hands and knees."

I moaned and screamed for him. He felt so damn good sheathed deep inside me but the indescribable feeling when he pulled out and pounded back in caused me to see stars, fireworks, and heaven moved the earth below my feet.

The clenching of my body onto his fabulous cock signaled the beginning of yet another glorious orgasm. His hand reached down over my hip to rub my clit forcing more powerful sensations than I could handle through my aching body.

True to his word no sooner than I stopped shaking he picked me up and knelt to the floor placing my on all fours under him and he pushed his way back in holding me to him by my shoulders pumping frantically seeking deeper access. I gave it to him arching my back and lifting my hips to him rocking back to meet his thrusts.

"Fuck, Jasper I'm coming again." I screamed.

"Do you want me to stop?"

"NO. Don't you dare stop, cum with me Jasper. I need to feel you cum inside me, please."

"Anything for you baby, always." I felt Jasper clench and grunt with his own release as I moaned and writhed through mine.

Oh my God, he could buy a castle and I'd lick the floors clean if he only keeps doing this to me.

"Bella, that was unbelievable, are you ok?"

"More than ok cowboy, but I don't think I can move." I smiled up at him.

He picked me up and placed me on the bed and we were lay together spent just holding one another.

"Bella, will you come to Texas the weekend after I go home? I want you to meet Peter and Charlotte and we can decide what to bring from my house to our place."

"Yeah, I'd like that."

I cuddled closer to Jasper and we both fell asleep for awhile. By the time we woke up we needed to hurry to get ready to meet Rose and Emmett for dinner. There was no time for hanky-panky as Jasper put it.

JPOV

I wondered while I showered if Bella would ever cease to amaze me. The things she did and said always took me by surprise, but never seemed out of character for her. She was such an enigma. Damn, when she asked me to fuck her senseless I thought I would lose my mind. I was scared shitless to give her what she wanted, but part of me needed her that same way too. I had never done anything quite like that with anyone and to do it to Bella, it seemed so wrong but yet, so right. She really was my other half, my perfect match, my destiny, my soul mate. Never could I have imagined a woman who needed such polar opposites the way I did. I wondered what other things we would agree to try together in our futures. Shit, I had to deal with a not so little problem now before I got out of the shower.

I was looking forward to dinner with Bella's friends. They were very important to her and therefore they were going to be important to me too. I already liked Emmett, he was a good guy and it meant a lot to me that he had been stand up enough to have watched over my angel well before I knew her. I knew there had never been anything between them but friendship and the fact that he still cared so much about her despite that, made him cool in my book.

I hadn't really met Rose yet. She had been at the bar with Bella one night when I watched her before she knew I was there. Once Bella spotted me though, Rose took off. I knew there was a story there; she was beautiful, money beautiful. Although, there was a profound sadness in her eyes that made me curious. She wasn't dressed consistently with her obvious upbringing. Her clothes her expensive but not top of the line and that girl had been brought up in top of the line fashion. I wondered if Bella knew, probably not. She was so damn out of her element when it came to that stuff. Much as I typically was when I was younger, our parents never raised Peter and me that way. Although over the years I had learned to observe and pick up on the subtleties that defined a person. For a lot of that I had a few good teachers. The ability to immediately know and distinguish the make and cut of expensive designer clothing and haute couture from mass manufactured lines was all attributable to one person. God she was unbearable most of the time. Nothing like Bella.

"Jasper, what are you doing, let's go. We are going to be late, for heaven's sake you are worse than a chick." Bella's laughter pulled me out of my reverie.

Dinner was a lot of fun. I really liked Emmett and discovered that he had an absolutely brilliant mind. He was like an archive of knowledge. Every topic we covered he was incredibly well versed and studied from politics and religion to finance and even history. It was such a contradiction to the burly tough guy persona he gave off at the bar. It turned out that he was a CPA with finance and accounting degrees and he was finishing his Master's at Seattle and worked at the bar because it fit his schedule and gave him time to focus on school. Not only did he work the door, he handled the books and overall management. Mike managed the beverage side of the house, but Emmett ran the rest. Turned out Bella didn't even know that. Rose beamed with pride and snuggled closer to his side as he told me about it.

Rose was the perfect social creature, she could work the room and know everything about everyone in it but she never let one little fact about herself slip. She was kind and funny and intelligent and clearly head over heels in love with Emmett, but there was something else. I felt an odd kindred spirit with her and didn't yet know why.

Bella talked us all into some crazy chocolate volcano eruption thing for dessert and after each of us took two bites we were done, in sugar comas surely to pass out in the car.

We had planned to go to the bar after dinner and it was pretty late by the time we left the restaurant. We had spent more time talking and laughing than any of us had expected. Of course there was no parking available when we got to the bar and the girls were giggling about how bad they needed the restroom so Emmett walked them to the door as I waited for him at the curb and then we went to go park the car.

"Jasper, I gotta tell ya man, I've never seen Bella so happy. Rose and I are thrilled for you guys. Take good care of her she deserves it." Emmett gave me the dude version of a half hug, half back slap and we left the parked car and headed to the bar.

"Thanks Emmett. She has been very fortunate to have had you and Rose and Mike, thanks for that."

"Hey, welcome to the family, that's what Bella is to us you know. So, now you, my brother, are too." Emmett sounded like the proud papa.

"I'd be honored." I smiled; Bella's family had accepted me.

Emmett introduced me to the bouncer working at the door as his brother and held it open for me to enter. I was half laughing at Emmett and felt so thrilled to know that Bella's friends, her family, were going to be a big part of our lives when I was accosted with the most horrific scene.

Mike was standing protectively in front of a terrified Bella.

Bella's asshole neighbor was being restrained by Bella's friend that I had seen dancing with her the very first night I met her and the neighbor was screaming at Bella.

"Who's the fucking guy Bella? I saw him at your house last night, is that who answered the phone this morning too? Did he stay the night? Are you fucking him?" His face was deep red and he was shaking and fighting at the arms holding him back.

I heard the strangest sound and realized it was coming from me, I was growling and felt my self crouching to leap toward him when I felt Emmett's arms tighten around my chest.

"Easy Jasper." Emmett whispered in my ear as his grip tightened.

"Shut the fuck up Jacob." The guy restraining the neighbor screamed into his face. Jacob huh?

Before I could say or do anything I heard Bella's voice. She was in shock, terrified.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I didn't send you those flowers so you could fuck some other guy Bella. I know you got them, I saw them on your dining room table."

"What?" Bella's voice was shaking in fear and sudden realization hit her face. "Are you fucking stalking me?"

I was fighting against Emmett's grip, and didn't know what the hell was going on. Bella's neighbor sent her flowers, I knew there was nothing going on between them, but he clearly didn't seem to agree.

I heard Bella's friend scream "OH HELL NO" followed by a loud crack of skin hitting skin and I watched in horror as Bella shook and her neighbor hit the ground, his face covered in blood.

Bella was screaming. "Jasper, oh Jesus, Jasper, the flowers, the footprints, the noises outside my window, oh my god…."

I shook out of Emmett's hold and ran to Bella.

Mike grabbed Jacob and Emmett moved faster than the speed of light to get between Jacob and Bella's friend.

"Bella, are you ok? Did he hurt you, did he…?" I was having trouble speaking my jaws were clenched so tight they matched my fists and all I could think was to hold Bella I had to calm down.

"Jesus, Fuck, Jasper, he's fucking stalking me, I, I thought the flowers were from you, I … I, I'm going to be sick."

"I'm going to fucking kill him." I started moving toward the sick fuck neighbor and Bella screamed "NO" and Emmett and Bella's friend grabbed me and held me back.

The asshole was actually trying to get up and Mike ground his foot into his chest, "You aren't fucking going anywhere."

"Jasper, calm down man, don't do something stupid in front of all these people." Emmett whispered into my ear.

"Emmett, he's fucking stalking her." I calmed myself against his arm and started thinking as logically as I could under the circumstances. "Emmett, call the police."

Rose was behind Bella and whispering into her ear and looking at me and Emmett. I felt Emmett nod at my side. There was some unspoken communication going on between them and things got weirder.

Rose was at my side and she grabbed my arm and whispered into my ear. "We need to disappear for a few minutes; neither of us can be involved in this. You need to make it look like you barely know her and don't want this drama. Trust me JW, she'll understand, now do it and meet me out front. You have thirty seconds."

Holy shit, this place was like another universe. It seemed every time I walked through those doors I was in another dimension. It was us, but everything was somehow bizarre and twisted.

"Fuck, I don't know what the fuck is going on here, but I want no part of it. Goodbye Bella." I had tears rolling down my cheeks that matched hers as I turned and walked out that door, but for some reason I trusted Rose and of course I trusted Bella.

Thank God Rose was right at the door as I walked through and she grabbed my arm saying "It's ok, it will be ok, Bella knows it was an act. Let's get to the car."

All the way to the car Rose, kept consoling me, saying she knows you love her, she loves you too.

We got to the car and I opened the passenger side door and let Rose in locking and closing it behind her and checked over my shoulder before I got into the drivers side repeating the vigilance with the door.

"First of all, you know he is no one, don't think for one minute she has anything going on with him."

"Just tell me he is not the one that broke her heart." I struggled to get it out.

"No. I'm telling you he is no one, he hit on her, she turned him down, end of story. Seems he didn't get the message."

We sat in silence for a while.

"Thanks for helping Bella. Thanks for easing her into my story. She told me how and why you told her." I couldn't talk about what just happened yet.

"I'm sorry, I know it was your place to tell her but she would have freaked on you. I've been there, I know. Bella is completely in love with you and she couldn't care less about money, but you are going to have to be patient with her."

"Rose, it is ok, but how did you know who I was?"

"She didn't tell you anything?" Rose's head dropped and her eyes went to her lap.

"No, just that you showed her the article. I take it you knew who I was and about that article, was that how you knew me?"

"That article happened to be in the same issue as the obituary for an ex-fiancée. I realized who you were after that night you came into the bar. I recognized you from the picture."

Then it dawned on me, the article was in the same issue as his obituary. "Holy shit, you are Rosalie Hale?"

"Yeah."

I didn't know what to say. I had suspected so many things since, well. I stared straight ahead and took a deep breath and shot from the hip.

"I'm sorry. I never bought that BS story. It was him wasn't it?" She cringed. "That motherfuckincocksucker. I always knew he was an asshole. You know that I went to school with him for awhile right? We were never friends though."

"I know, thank you."

"Does Bella know?"

"Yes, but she doesn't know you knew him. We never met so I didn't know, but I figured you knew him or at least of each other because of the school overlap."

I looked at Rose and gave her a smile of reassurance. "Are you ok; tonight must have been hell for you in more ways than one."

"I am ok, yeah, it was rough for a minute there and I was very nervous to meet you."

"Rose, I don't mean to pry but, I take it you don't keep in touch with that part of your life?"

"No. I changed my name, moved across the country and never looked back. I have Em now and he's all I ever want and need."

"Thanks for tonight. I wouldn't have thought to get out of there. Do you think she'll understand?"

"Yes, the last thing Bella would want is for your name to go on record. The consequences are not something she could even begin to understand right now. There is no way we can let that psycho know who you are. It'll be a target on your backs. I take it you have never been in a situation like this?"

"Ha, no. My brother and I live pretty simple lives. We don't really 'socialize' in the 'right' circles. My buddies have known me since grade school. Not very many people even know who we are once we leave home. In college, honestly I was grateful other people, like your asshole ex, lived so far out in the limelight, it kept me in the dark shadows."

"Mmm, yeah, he sure did like the attention, the pompous prick."

"I'm sorry Rose. It's just to have those suspicions confirmed and now to have gotten to know you, it is just…."

"I know, please let's not talk about it."

"Hey, who's the guy that hit Jacob? I saw him dancing with Bella the first night I saw her." I realized I didn't know his name and owed him a thank you.

"James, he's a friend. Bella doesn't have many, the ones she has are loyal to a fault. I think you've met all of us now."

"Fuck, if I ever meet the mother fucker who put her through hell I'll kill him. How the hell could anyone hurt her so completely?"

"I don't know; it's her story to tell you. She will when she's ready. I don't think she has ever told anyone."

We sat again in silence and I thought about all the events that have led to this moment, my poor angel. I would get her out of here and the reminders as soon as humanly possible.

"The police are leaving, drive up; I'll go in and get Bella and Emmett."

"Thanks Rose. For everything."

"She's my sister; I'll do anything for her."

My new family, hmm?

I pulled up and Rose went inside returning a moment later with Bella and Emmett. I got out and opened the back door for Bella and tossed Emmett the keys as I climbed in behind her. Apparently James had been arrested as Jacob intended to press charges. The police filed a report alleging that Jacob was stalking her. He was questioned but because he hadn't really done anything illegal yet, he was allowed to leave. Emmett told him he was banned from the bar and the police instructed him to stay away from Bella, that he had been warned.

"Can you believe that shit? 'Sending flowers isn't illegal ma'm.' 'You can't prove he was peeking in your windows or at your house ma'm.' What a load of shit." Bella was seething, not that I could blame her.

"Bella, you can't live next to that fucker." I was going to have to get her moved and fast.

"What are you talking about? I don't live next to him. I don't know where he lives." Bella looked at me in confusion.

Now I was confused.

"Bella, he isn't your neighbor?"

"No. Why would you think that?"

"Bella, he's the guy that was in the car in front of your neighbors yesterday that gave me the dirty looks. I thought it was your next door neighbor. Shit, he was at your house. Fuck, Bella, what if I hadn't shown up when I did? I thought he had just gotten into his car, maybe he was about to get out when I pulled up."

"Oh God, Jasper."

"Ok, that's it; I have to tell the police I saw him at your house. He was the one that called and hung up this morning, maybe they can trace that call, and we would have proof."

"NO." They all said it at once.

"Bella, I don't care if he finds out 'who' I am. I'm not going to let him hurt you."

"No, Jasper. I will not let him hurt you either." Bella's hand went to my knee and she squeezed.

"Bella, we don't know how dangerous this guy is. I have to go to Palo Alto in three weeks, what if he tries something and I'm not here?"

"What if he tries something and you are?" She glared straight at me.

Fine, I would hire a private security firm to protect her. I would find out who he is and everything about him. I can and will keep that fucker away from her. Jesus she could attract trouble.

"Bella, Emmett is going to go in with you to bail out James. We will wait in the car." Rose turned to face us in the back seat and glared at me.

I pulled out my wallet and asked Rose how much they needed for bail and handed Bella the money. "Please Bella, at least let me do this for your friend."

"Thank you Jasper."

The minute they were out the door Rose turned on me and yelled.

"Damn it Jasper, I didn't pull you out of that nightmare so you could waltz into the headquarters and sign your name to a witness report. Be smart. You have no proof. Now, what are you thinking about doing?"

"Security, background check, just to start with." I was serious but it sounded funny when I tried it out loud.

"I know just the guy." She was serious.

"Why am I not surprised? How pissed do you think she'll be at me if she finds out?" She would not be happy I was sure.

"Finds out what, you aren't going to do anything?" She winked.

"Fine, but I am paying."

"Oh yes, you are, and he is not cheap." Rose laughed.

So, what did you think? I know some of you thought it was Jay or James, were you surprised it was Jacob? Were you surprised James was not the villain but a hero of sorts?

Review and let me know your thoughts, biggest surprise, favorite line.
