-Peter's PoV- -Chapter 7- "Friends."
Bella is going to be the death of us, I swear. We were perfectly calm and happy sitting down in the guest room, just watching her seemingly sleeping form when we were suddenly hit with the scent of her arousal. 'Unfuckingbelievable! She is supposed to be burning for fucks sake! And instead she is having some sort of wet dream! Fuck!' The scent made my eyes roll back a little and I had to bite my tongue to stop a moan from escaping my lips. I may or may not had an accident in my pants as well. Thank God Jasper was too busy trying to stop himself from ripping Bella's clothes off to notice that.
It didn't help much that as soon as we noticed it Jasper started projecting his gift and judging by the sounds downstairs, even the dogs were trying to hump the couch. In the next second I had Charlotte straddling my lap. I took a deep breath, wrapping my hands on her tiny waist while kissing and nibbling her neck, purring softly, her hand moving to the back of my head, pressing herself tighter against me. I started running my hands gently up her thighs. With the last bit of my control I hissed turning a little to look at Jasper. If he didn't get his shit together fast Charlotte would start ripping our clothes appart right fucking there.
Jasper stifled a moan. "Oh God! Oh fuck! I'm so sorry." He took a few deep breaths trying to regain control of his gift. After a few more seconds of dry humping my mate, the lust finally disappeared. I whimpered softly when Charlotte went back to sit next to me in the couch, chucking and fanning her face with one hand. I rearranged the problem in my pants.
I went to open the windows in the room quickly, hoping that would make her scent fade to help with Jasper's control a little.
I went back next to my mate and we all sat there for a while, unable to speak, even the dogs were quiet.
"What the fuck Jasper?" My mate said after a ten minutes of silence. He grimaced.
"What that her lust you where projecting?" I asked, hoping it wasn't, little sis and all. 'Yuck!'
"No, I didn't feel a thing from her, it was... all me." He said softly and sighed. "I'm sorry."
Everyone in the house laughed. Jasper will be in trouble when she finally wakes up.
A few hours have passed since the lust incident and the last time someone spoke.
Jasper is too damn busy swooning at Bella. I shake my head a little and look at Charlotte who is also too interested in looking at Bella while she is out cold. I give up and glance down at her with a sigh. Alright, I get it, I could just stare for hours too but the silence is getting annoying. If only the dogs didn't smell so bad I would be downstairs with them.
I stand up and walk lazily to the open window. A little over two days and she will wake up.
At least the company is close now. They should keep me entertained until Bella wakes up, unless they also get into the damn staring contest with Jasper and my mate.
"Garrett and Kate should be here in a few minutes, finally." I sighed. "You two just staring at Bella is driving me insane. Yes, she is cute and will be perfect once the change ends but God at least grab a book or something she won't go anywhere if you look away for five seconds."
I roll my eyes at the soft growls coming from my mate and Jasper.
"Sorry Bella." I continue. "But I rather stare at you once you are awake, at least that way you will get annoyed and hopefully try to take a bite at me." I chuckled. "Can't wait to see how well you will take your newborn strength. Do me a favor and surprise our little Jasper here by giving him a bite or two. I promise that he will love it." I said while moving towards the bed and stopped to stroke her hair softly for a moment. Jasper growled again and I removed my hand before he could bite it off.
He still has no idea, judging by the confused look in his face. Sometimes I wonder how he survived the War. Yeah he is great when it comes to battle planning and fighting, but so naive in such a simple, instinctual matter as mating. I just grin at him and shake my head.
"I will go wait by the tree line, have to keep them from putting down the dogs." I chuckle softly and grumbles come from downstairs and outside the house. The little puppies need a sense of humor. I jump down the window and run towards the trees.
After a few minutes of waiting I can see them running towards me. I grin at them, it's been a while and I will enjoy my new 'family' position very much. Pity we can't let Jasper know yet.
I put my best Marcus face as they stop a few feet in front of me.
Garrett doesn't waste any time and tackles me, mock punching and twisting my arms behind my back.
"I could get you fired for that man!" I chuckle as I wrestle him for a few seconds and move away quickly when I see Kate closing in on me, she cheats with her stupid shocks.
"Peace brother, sister." I raise my hands and give my Marcus voice a try and they both laugh.
"Get over yourself Captain." Kate rolled her eyes at me. "Being family or not changes nothing!" She hissed before adding. "You are still a fucking pain in the ass." She doesn't really mean it, her smile tells me that much. Garrett, Kate, Charlotte and I come a long way. I waved my hand at her.
"Of course Kate darlin' but the Major is inside the house so better just call me Peter, I'm off duty after all, just make sure you bring me the paper in the morning." I laugh but I shouldn't have said that, she quickly tackles me to the ground and gives me a shock hard enough to make me let out a loud growl. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck!' I chant in my head and remind myself that I had it coming and it's just a game. Her gift hurts like a bitch.
"Kate.." Garrett whispers softly. I take a deep breath and roll my eyes at him, he knows me better than to think I will attack his mate for that.
"Give it a rest Garrett it's fine, I deserved it and she should take advantage of it now, she won't be able to do it once with are with the Major." I smile sweetly at Kate and she just curses at me under her breath.
"Poor Major doesn't know yet, and we better let him find out by himself." I warn them. They both look at me in shock and disbelief.
"Yeah, I know, great instincts for fighting but the he is completely clueless about this." I shake my head while they laugh.
"Well I'm going to have fun reminding him of that once he figures it out." Garret says after catching his breath, quite unnecessary of course.
I see Kate narrowing her eyes at me. "I bet you a thousand and an a free week that it takes the poor Major a week to find out."
I laugh and shake her hand, a free week is tempting.
"I say less. Have to have faith in my Sire and all that." I will probably loose this bet.
"He is growling left and right whenever someone approaches her, then puts in such a confused look, don't laugh if you want to keep your arms attached. Oh and don't kill the dogs, they are quite attached to Bella and she is to them. They are alright, except for the smell."
They nod at me as I wrinkle my nose and turn to lead us back to the house.
We could hear Jasper growling softly as we opened the front door.
"Don't be so grumpy Jasper, it's just Kate and Garrett coming to see the sleeping beauty."
I say trying to break the tension. The growling stops, lucky for us and we make our wait up to the bedroom very slowly.
"Jasper, Charlotte! It has been too long my friends." Garrett said with a light tone on his voice, but was quick to place his hand around Kate and stand very still next to the door. If the Major looses it and runs on instinct alone it won't be pretty for us. At least I was able to hide all the lighters in the house.
Kate smiled to them before looking at Bella. "She is beautiful." She said, almost reverently, it made Jasper look a little more at ease. Garrett was smart enough to remain silent looking to the floor submissively. Females might get away with calling her that, and me because he is my Sire, but other males better not point out Bella's beauty if they want to keep their heads attached to their bodies.
"Kate, why don't you help me choose an outfit for my new sister." Charlotte said with a smile. "As pretty as she looks in Jasper's shirt, I'm sure she won't mind waking up with something more... appropriate." Kate chuckled and nodded before following my mate to the walk-in closet, chatting away about the best look for Vampire Bella.
"Has there been any changes with her pain Jasper?" I ask him, just to keep the conversation going.
"Still nothing, I haven't tested what happened again though, and I don't plan to either." He frowned a little and stroked Bella's hair softly.
"What happened?" Garrett asked curiously.
I shrugged and glanced at him. "It seems my sister here doesn't feel the burning as long as Jasper has a hand on her." I grinned at the double meaning of what I said, which got me soft hisses from my mate, Kate and Jasper, Garrett grinned as well.
"Lucky for her, you are right Jasper better not test it again." Jasper nodded to him, relaxing some more.
"Jasper, honey?" My mate called from the closet and we were all shocked by the soft growl forming inside Bella's chest. I blinked a few times and with much effort managed not to laugh. Jasper's confused look didn't help much. Charlotte cleared her throat and came out the closet carrying a forest green cocktail dress, matching underwear and white flat shoes.
"You bought the clothes?" He nodded. "Didn't know you had such a good taste." She smiled and glanced at me and Garrett. "Boys turn around and Jasper, put your hand on her forehead and close your eyes while we change her." We all did as ordered and a few seconds later we turned back to look at Bella.
She looked like a dream and the transformation isn't even over yet. Only Charlotte surpasses her in beauty and that, I'm sure it's only because she is my mate. Poor Major will have humans and non-mated Vampires heads over hills in love with Bella. I chuckle softly and glance at Garrett, it looks like he is thinking the same. I see Jasper bending over a little, closer to Bella, it looks like she is about to kiss her so I clear my throat softly. Wouldn't be proper for them to have their first kiss while she is unconscious. 'I'm such a cock-blocker.'
Jasper blinks and leans away from her and glances around the room, confused by his actions. When he looks at me, I offer him a smile and turn to focus my eyes on my mate, thinking about how she makes me feel every day since I met her, knowing Jasper will be able to notice my feelings. Might as well help the poor man along and win the bet against Kate. I heard Jasper gasp, and turn to look at Bella, one hand on her arm, the other cupping her face, his eyes glistening.
"Bella is my mate." He said softly and smiled down at her, I had never seen him so happy before, not once in over a hundred and fifty years. Not when we finally escaped Maria, or with the little bitch he thought was his mate. I shook my head and glanced at Kate who managed to look both happy and annoyed by smiling and rolling her eyes at me. I didn't loose the bet after all.
At least the Major will know how to act when she wakes up. We can only pray and hope Bella will be able to recognize the pull fast, with so many people around, it will be hard enough to both of them.
A/N: *Gasp* He knows!
Thank you again for your reviews everyone! I 3 you all! I know I'm evil for leaving the story like that but I'll make it up to everyone next chapter I promise, I'll have both Jasper and Bella's PoVs about his little mate comment. I'll try not to make it too repetitive as well, not sure how much is everyone into reading the same things in different perspectives, I have tried to keep that to the minimum so far.
Anyway! Since next chapter is a little bigger it may take me a bit more to update, I'll try to do it at some point during the next couple of days.
