*SM still owns all*

BPOV

You have got to be kidding me! Play fighting just so he can talk more with me. Did he not get enough talking done in those seven days I was his fucking prisoner? I was starting to feel a little nauseous. Jasper, Peter, and Aro walked out with Charlotte and I following right behind them. I could hear them discussing the newborns that Jasper and Peter had just trained. It sounded like Aro was pleased with them now.

I could feel my anxiety peak as we were led out to Aro's "Battlefield", there was no way I could let this continue. I was too young for this kind of stress. Wasn't it shit like this that gave people high blood pressure? I needed to tell Jasper, but how? If I told him now Aro and his guard would attack, and we would have no hope, if I waited that gave Aro three days to come up with a twisted plan to get me left behind in Italy.

"Hey Bella, you okay?" Asked Charlotte concerned. I guess I probably looked as bad as I felt. I needed to do a better job of toning down my emotions though or Jasper would start getting more suspicious.

I put on a fake smile and tried to sound up beat, "Yea, I'm good, I just don't like the idea of Jasper pretend fighting, makes me nervous."

"Actually, I think this will be good for you to see, then you can know without a doubt that he is the best." Said Charlotte grabbing my hand and leading me over to the side where a few chairs were set up.

We sat down and watched while Aro, Jasper, and Peter talked across the field. I glanced at Charlotte while keeping Jasper in my sight as well. He looked damn good in his jeans and button down white shirt. I still had a hard time believing that he was mine. I hated keeping something like this from him. Especially when he had half his guard still out looking for my "Captor." No, I definitely needed to tell him.

"Charlotte!" I said suddenly. She was with me that entire time, she would know what to do! She never saw Aro during that time but she would put it all together if I told her.

"What?" She asked.

I looked back to the guys to see that Jasper and Peter were looking at us funny. Where did Aro go? I looked to the left and to the right but still didn't see him. I gave Jasper a small smile before he turned around to face a couple of people from Aro's guard. Looks like they were about to start. That would be perfect. I could tell her while they were fighting that way they hopefully wouldn't be able to hear us.

I leaned in closer to Char's ear, "I have something I need to tell you. Now." I said seriously.

She looked at me closely before nodding her head, silently telling me to continue.

"I know who it was that-" I started before a warning tone interrupted me.

"Isabella, Charlotte perhaps you wouldn't mind if I joined you?" I turned around to see Aro himself standing directly behind me, with a furious look on his face. I looked at Char before looking back at Aro to see that his furious look was gone and was now replaced with a poker face. Like he had no care in the world. Son of a bitch.

Of course Aro." Replied Charlotte while giving me a pointed look.

I looked back to Jasper to see that he was pinning one of the guards down on the ground while talking to him, probably explaining something. Aro took the seat to my right and sat down gracefully next to me. It took all my power not to roll my eyes at the bastard. "Isabella," He said in a sickly sweet tone, "How are you liking your stay in Italy?" He asked.

I looked at him and cocked my eyebrow, was he freaking serious? At this point I wasn't scared...okay so that was partly a lie, but I was getting more pissed than anything. This man would rape me if the moment presented itself and he is probably already thinking of ways to kidnap me again.

"It's been.....okay." I replied, looking back towards Jasper.

Charlotte nudged my elbow which didn't go unnoticed by Aro who just chuckled. "Well I hope that you have a memorable experience while you are here my dear." He said. I just nodded my head in acknowledgment. Seriously, blood pressure was going through the roof. What the hell do I make of that? All I knew was that I needed Jasper and I needed him now. I mustered up the most rage and agitation I could and concentrated it all on Jasper.

I saw him tense and glance up at me with a confused expression on his face.

"Charlotte perhaps you can go assist The Major and Peter real fast and see if there is a problem." Suggested Aro.

Char looked at me once before taking off to Peter's side. I turned to glare at Aro only to gasp and nearly fall out of my chair. He had moved so that his face was just a couple of inches away from mine.

"Remember Isabella," He whispered so low that I could barely hear him, "Jasper works for ME, he will do what I say and he will not defy me. I will know if you tell him anything." And with that said he stood up and floated back to the castle.

It took me a couple seconds to get my bearings back and catch my breath. What the hell was I supposed to do now? I tried to stay calm so that my emotions didn't alert Jasper but I guess I didn't do a very good job. I was hurt, and pissed and now I was feeling like there was no hope. Was he right? Jasper did work for him from what I could tell, would that change the way Jasper would feel about the kidnapping if he knew who was behind it all?

"You look like hell Bella, what happened?" Said Charlotte coming up beside me.

I looked at her before making my decision. She was my best friend and she has yet to steer me wrong. I had to trust her with this. She would know what to do. "Do you think we could g-" I started before I was interrupted once again.

"Let's go back up to the room Isabella." Said Jasper wrapping his arm around my waist. I looked to Charlotte one last time before smiling up at Jasper, nodding my head. Who was I to turn down the chance to get some one on one time with The Major? I could talk to Charlotte later, I just really hope that Aro had no sudden plans for me.

"You've been awfully quiet darlin', you sure your alright?" Asked my sweet Major. We were finally on the plane ride home back from Italy. Or as I like to call it, the trip from hell. It seemed like everytime I wanted to talk with Charlotte either Peter and Jasper were with us or Aro was somewhere close by. He hardly let me out of his site the last two days that we were there.

Flashback

"Major, do we have to stay inside the castle for the rest of the time that we're here?" I asked Jasper exasperated. It was our last day here and I was ready to get the hell out.

"Sorry darlin'," He replied, "Aro has requested that we remain inside for the time being. And I have to say that I agree, you don't look so good. And your emotions have been going haywire the last few days, I'm afraid your going to have a mental breakdown or something." He said softly.

He had been bugging me the entire time why I was acting in his words "bi-polar", but I just couldn't explain it to him here. Not yet. But I was doing better at keeping my fear down to where Jasper didn't recognize it. I just had to hold out til we got back home.

"I'm fine," I sighed, "I'm just ready to be back home."

Jasper leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. "Soon darlin'."

End Flashback

Luckily that last day we were supposed to be there, another coven came to see the brothers unannounced, so Aro along with the other two crypt keepers were in meetings the entire time so I didn't have to see Aro again and we got to leave early.

By the time we made it back to the house it was late and I was once again, jet lagged. Stupid human needs- like sleep. Jasper lifted me into his arms and carried me into our room. I went to the bathroom before climbing into bed next to him. Suddenly I was wide awake. It was now or never. He needed to know and I was tired of hiding my emotions. That was really fucking exhausting!

Jasper eyed me speculatively, "What has you so wired my pet?" He asked.

I swallowed loudly trying to figure out how I could tell him without him catching a red eye flight right back to Italy. Plus, Aro said that he would know if I told Jasper. Would that matter after he found out anyways though?

"Master," I said nervously, "Did you ever find the person that kidnapped me?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"No... we didn't." Said Jasper slowly.

I just nodded my head. "Remember what I told you he looked like?"

"Yes Isabella," he said impatiently, "Black hair with red eyes, you didn't give us much to go off of."

"Right." I replied, looking down. This was harder than I thought.

"He also kept touching me..." I trailed off

"What the fuck do you mean touching you Isabella?" Yelled Jasper outraged, forcing me to look into his black eyes.

"I mean that he continued to call me a mental shield and he kept holding my hand in his grasp like he was trying to get a read on me." I replied. "I didn't realize that was Aro's power." I said so softly it was a wonder he heard me. "I didn't realize that was why Aro continued to touch me that time that he had with me. He was trying to see inside my mind."

It took Jasper a second before he was on his feet in front of me, pulling me up with him by my arms. I winced at the grip he had on me. That was probably going to leave a bruise.

"What the fuck are you talking about Isabella?" Jasper whispered with venom dripping from his words.

Why the hell was he getting bent out of shape about this? I didn't ask for this shit, he didn't need to be mad at me.

"I mean that your good buddy Aro was the one that fucking kidnapped me," I snapped, "I mean that seeing him in Italy and realising that he was the leader of your world shocked the hell out of me. I mean that your supposedly 'old friend' wants to fucking rape me and make me his mate." I was so mad I was shaking and tears started leaking from the corners of my eyes. I knew that I probably just crossed the line, but this had to stop, and what if everything that Aro said was true, what if there really was nothing Jasper could do?

I was expecting Jasper's wrath and anger and hostility. I was not expecting to be pulled into his chest in a bone crushing hug with Jasper whispering words of encouragement in my ear.

I felt myself start to calm down and knew that Jasper was helping me. "Christ Isabella," He said softly, "Why did you not say anything while we were there? I could have killed him and taken care of this by now." He said with forced calm. I knew that he was trying to stay calm for my sake.

"You told me on the plane that just you against his Guard you would not have a chance, and you didn't bring your Guard with you. I wasn't going to let you get hurt." I said into his chest. I heard him growl before he forced me to look at him. Again.

"So you kept that secret to yourself? You knowingly put yourself into more danger by not telling me?" He growled. Yepp, he was pissed.

I blushed and nodded my head slightly. Why did I feel like we were going to be taking a trip to his study soon?

He took a few deep breaths, why, I have no idea, before grabbing my hand and walking with a determined pace towards the door. He led us down the hall and sure enough we came to his study door. He pushed it open with so much force it crashed into the wall and the top hinge broke off. Great. And that was what was going to happen to my ass.

Jasper led me over to one of the leather chairs and gestured for me to take a seat, before walking back to his desk. "Peter." He said.

Two seconds later Peter showed up at the door with a murderous look on his face. "Yes Major?" He asked.

"Round up the Guards. I want everyone out back in five minutes for an emergency meeting. We need a plan." He said pacing behind his desk.

With that said Peter was gone. I hated to see Jasper so stressed like this knowing that it was my fault. I just did what I thought was best. I wasn't even sure that I could tell him, but I'm glad that I did. In a way I'm even glad that this was his reaction. This means that Aro was wrong. Jasper was going to fight for me, he wasn't just going to let Aro take me.

"Isabella, how you could even doubt my love for you, I have no idea. I thought I have made it perfectly clear just how much you mean to me." He said softly. He almost sounded sad. "I'm glad that you told me, so do not feel guilty at all. I am however extremely upset that you felt the need to hide this from me, and I will be taking care of that tonight. Wait here for me, I'm too mad to handle it right now but I'll be back shortly. In the mean time really think about things Isabella." And with that he left the room just as quietly as Peter had.

For the first time since I've been here I placed my head in my hands and cried. I cried because I should have known that Jasper wouldn't have known that Aro was behind everything and that he would never let anything happen to me. I never doubted his love for me like he assumed, I doubted that he had the power to keep me from Aro if Aro really wanted me. Now, obviously I can see that that is not the case.

I just hope that by telling Jasper the truth I didn't sign his death warrant. I was finally starting to calm down when I noticed the time. Jasper had been gone for thirty minutes now. I no sooner finished that thought when the door swung open and Jasper came in. He still looked agitated but at least he looked calmer as well.

He came over and kneeled before me pulling me into another hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in his sweet scent. "I'm so sorry." I whispered in his ear, while he rubbed soothing circles on my back.

"You are going to be punished darlin'," He said softly, "You should not have kept this for me. That was really dumb, you could have gotten hurt or worse."

"I know Jasper, and I understand." I replied meekly. I kissed him on his cheek, then he stood and walked over to his chair.

"Isabella, you know what to do." He said looking at me. I nodded my head and made my way to stand in front of him.

"Why are you here Isabella?" He asked.

"Because I kept this really big secret from you and I should have told you no matter what the circumstances were. I put myself into more danger." I whispered.

Without him having to direct me I laid down across his lap and grabbed the arm rest of the chair.

SMACK. "One."

SMACK. "Two.'

He brought his hand down again and again on my poor bottom. But I knew that I deserved it. After fifteen raining blows to my ass he stopped before pulling down my pants and panties. "This time Isabella you will not count. During this time I want you to reflect on what you did wrong and I want you to think of my love for you. I don't care what memories you think of, but I want you to try to think of a time where you ever felt that you were not loved by me." He said.

"Yes Sir." I said thinking of the first time I saw him in my dining room.

I felt him continue on with the blows on my ass and legs. He was going quickly that even if I had wanted to count I wouldn't have been able to. It was really hard think of anything other than the blows on my backside though. Tears started to run down my face when I thought back to when I had been in this position for the very first time, when he gave me my rules. Even then though I knew deep down that he did it for me.

I may not have realised that he loved me then but now I know that he only does this because he loves me, otherwise he wouldn't have even wasted his time. I thought of all the shopping trips, the fact that he let me return to school, and that he introduced me to Charlotte, who was now like another sister to me. Everything he has done, he has done with my best interests at heart.

By now my bum was throbbing and I knew it would be a while before I would be able to sit comfortably again. I couldn't tell you how many spankings he gave me though. It could have been ten it could have been fifty.

I felt him rubbing my burning ass with his cool hand while I sobbed into his leg. Even now, after my punishment he gave me time to think things through and never rushed this. He knew that I needed the extra time to compose my thoughts. I slowly sat up and pushed my face into the crook of his neck.

"Well darlin', were you able to think of a time where you didn't feel loved by me?" He asked softly.

"No Sir." I replied, "Even if I didn't see it back then, looking back now I can see that everything you have done you have always done with my best interests at heart." I sniffled and sat up to look him in the eyes.

"Thank you Major." I said before pressing my lips to his. He pushed his tongue into my mouth hungrily and I sucked on it eagerly. It had been too long. I moaned into his mouth when I felt his hard cock pressed against my back.

Next thing I knew I was in Jasper's arms and he was running us to the bedroom.
