Edward POV (Chapter 35)


I endured a lot tonight. Oh, nothing horrid, but watching your lover being tortured while someone sucks you off isn't what one would call 'easy'. The lashes didn't bother me all that much, Seth went as easy if not easier on me than Jasper would. But when Eleazar circled my nipples, pinching and tugging them before clamping them with the nipple clamps…THAT shit hurt.

But I endured, keeping my eyes locked with Jasper's any time he would look at me before finally, Eleazar said, "You know, Jasper, you really do have quite nice taste in men." He circled around me and I swallowed hard. "It's a shame you claimed him for yourself already." I felt his hands traveling over my back and I hissed as he hit a particularly sensitive bit of flesh. "You redden so beautifully, Edward."

I closed my eyes for just a moment as his hand moved to my ass. Please…it's one thing to be made love to, even to be fucked by Jasper, but for you to do…that just to mess with Jasper's head any further, with my own…

I felt a pop to my ass cheek and Eleazar said, "Oh, though I would love to just fuck you right here and now to see the look in Jasper's face, I'm not going to."

I blew out a breath.

"However…I am going to fuck Jasper and make you watch, Edward."

I groaned and Jasper let out an uncharacteristic whimper. My eyes popped open to look at him. I'm sorry, my eyes said to him.

He shook his head minimally. I've had worse, he seemed to reply. I'm sure he had.

I watched in fascination as Eleazar stripped out of his clothes. "Seth, you may go, now."

I had forgotten he was in the room. After he'd finished… 'servicing' me, he'd bowed to his master and sat, silently against the wall. I watched him stand, bow, and move to the door. From what I could see outside, the night was settled in and I wondered how late we'd been here.

My eyes drifted back over to Eleazar, who was truly a beautiful man. His caramel skin was marked in much the same fashion as Jasper's, though, his scars weren't as deep, nor as numerous as my master's. My master. He wouldn't be my master for much longer. No, I refused to believe it. Between my father, brother and I, we had more than enough money. We would buy Jasper from Aro first and then grant him his freedom. And if my only option was Eleazar, I would give my ring back. Eleazar would not rule me. Only Jasper does that. And it's with love, not whips and chains.

Eleazar caught me looking and his cock twitched. "Ahh, so you enjoy looking at other men. I'd often wondered if Jasper was a fluke, but no, you enjoy it, don't you, slave? You may speak."

"I may enjoy it, Sir," I said stiffly. "But it is my master I make love to."

"Love? Did you hear that, Jasper? He loves you. And how do you repay his love? You kill your gift from Master, forcing him to come here. Here, Jasper! Where you and I have worked so hard to protect! What the fuck were you thinking?! You weren't thinking. You made the cardinal mistake…you fell in love with a sub."

"So did you, you son of a bitch." Jasper spat back at him, earning another slap to his face.

"Fuck you, Jasper. Yes, I did. But at least with Carmen I had the sense to not do something foolish like kill one of Aro's most precious pets. How stupid are you, Jasper?!"

I saw tears running down Jasper's face and knew my own were traveling down mine.

"I…Buster…I've tried so hard with you. Where have I gone wrong?" Eleazar was talking quietly to himself as he flipped Jasper over, not kindly, and Jasper bit his lip to keep from crying out as he was turned face down onto the table. I couldn't turn away as Eleazar slipped on a condom. "What happened to you, Jasper? Did you just finally break for good? Or can you really help me to do this? Can you really help me? Did I seek allegiance with the wrong person?"

I had no idea what they were talking about, but I did know what was about to happen. And seeing as Seth has tied my head down to the top of this fucking cross, I couldn't move my head. But I could shut my eyes. And did, as I heard Eleazar moan. "God, Jasper, you're just as tight as I remembered…"

I knew I was sobbing now as I heard slaps and moans and all the things that were going on right in front of me. I wasn't sure if it was worse or easier with my eyes closed, but even that wasn't an option as I heard Eleazar shout, "Open your eyes, Edward! Open them, watch me fuck your master. See who he truly belongs to and I'll let you take him home."

I felt sick to my stomach as I opened my eyes. My cock betrayed me once more and stood proudly as I watched Eleazar kneeling between Jasper's now spread legs. His hands were pushing down on Jasper's head and shoulders, forcing them down to grind upon the hard table as he thrust.

Eleazar's brown eyes met mine and he snarled. "Ahhh, perhaps you have the makings for a decent sub yet, Edward, if the sight of me torturing your master has you aroused. Perhaps you would make a better Dom than Jasper."

"No!" Jasper choked out and Eleazar slapped Jasper's ass roughly.

"No talking, slave!" He snarled once more. His eyes moved down to my erection and he licked his lips. "Yes, once I send Jasper back to Italy you and I will have some lovely times, won't we, Edward? Your ass will never be the same after I've fucked it."

Jasper was sobbing uncontrollably now, as was I. It didn't really bother me what Eleazar was saying. He could do to me whatever he wanted, I just didn't want him to send Jasper back to that place, to be tortured and…he would die if he went back there. I knew it. He almost died being over there the last time…

"Please?" I said, my voice small in the large room. "I…I'll do whatever it takes, Master Eleazar."

"No, Edward!" Jasper sobbed.

"Shhh," I said. "It'll be okay. Please, Master Eleazar, I'll do whatever it takes. Just…please don't let Jasper go back to Master Aro, please don't make him."

"You'll do whatever it takes? Anything?"

I nodded, tears still pouring down my face, soaking my naked chest. "Anything at all. Leave my work, my family, my wife…I just don't want him being tortured and/or killed by that sadistic motherfucker. I'll do anything you wish."

Eleazar paused in his thrusts. "I see. And what do you have to say to that, Jasper?"

He was crying so hard it took him three attempts to start speaking. "N-no deal, Elly. H-he deserves to have a h-happy life."

"And you deserve a life at all, Jasper!" I shouted back. "That's no way to live! He'll kill you! You go back to that place and he'll kill you! At least if I stay here, and you're semi-free, you can look after Bella and live! It would be worth it!"

"My life is not worth it, Edward!" He screamed back at me.

Eleazar slapped Jasper's ass again. "Silence, both of you." He bent down, whispering something into Jasper's ear. Jasper visibly relaxed and I swallowed. Were they making deals now? Do I need…? But I kept my mouth shut.

Eleazar started moving again, but now I noticed that his thrusts seemed to be kinder, almost…not loving, but with some compassion instead of the roughness I'd seen only moments before. His fingers tightened on Jasper's shoulders and I could tell Eleazar was climaxing. His head dipped back down again to kiss Jasper between his shoulder blades before he pulled away and hopped off the table.

He walked over to a trash bin and tossed the condom into it, grabbing a towel from the rack next to it and wiping up. We were all silent as he re-dressed in his three piece business suit, knotting his Windsor knot to perfection before he walked back over to Jasper. "You know what you have to do." He said softly as he untied Jasper.

Jasper nodded and said, "Thank you, Elly."

He stood, shakily and walked over to me. "Come on, Edward. Let's go home."

My eyes grew wide as he untied me. I helped him dress, finding his clothes in a cubby-hole next to the door, then hastily slipped back into mine.

"Remember, Edward. You could easily be mine." Eleazar warned as I put Jasper's arm over my shoulder and guided him out to my car.

I dashed around to the driver's side and turned it on, putting the heat on full blast to stave off the Seattle dampness and looked at the clock. Eleven PM. We'd been in there over three hours, well, I had been, I could only imagine how long Jasper had been there. "Are-are you okay?" I asked softly.

He was shaking, I noticed, and I grabbed the blanket I kept for Bella from the back seat, tossing it onto him. "Th-thank you. J-just take me home, please?"

He sounded broken. "Okay, master. I will."

"N-no, no 'master' tonight. I-I need a f-friend."

I smiled softly. "You already have one."

I traveled back down the drive and out to the highway before I picked up my cell phone. I had four missed calls from Bella. I dialed her back quickly. She picked up on the first ring. "Edward, where the hell have you…"

"Bella!" I said, interrupting her. "I need your help."

"Is it Jasper?" She asked quickly.

"Yes. Please, come to his house, okay? We'll meet you there."

"Meet me? But where are you?"

"Very long story," I told her. "Can you come?"

"Of course, Edward. I'm home now. Alice and I went out for dinner and a movie since you boys were going to be busy."

I swallowed hard. "Thank you, Bella, we'll see you in a few minutes."

I looked over at Jasper. He was pale and still shivering slightly and I briefly wondered if Eleazar had given him some kind of medication. "Jazz? Did Eleazar give you anything?"

"A…sedative, I think."

"Is that all?"

He nodded. "I think so…"

I dialed Bella once again. "B, can you bring those meds I took to help me sleep? I think Jasper will need them tonight, okay?"

"Alright, Edward." She said. "I'm in the garage. I'll run back in."

"Thank you, love."

I snapped the phone shut once more and we made our way quietly back to Jasper's house. I helped him out of the car and into the structure. He stopped, though, on the porch. "My house. Mine."

My brow furrowed. "Jasper, look at me, okay?" I grabbed his face and our eyes met. "NO one is going to take you away from us. I swear it to you. I'll do whatever it takes. We'll buy you back from Aro if we have to, do you understand?"

He started laughing hysterically before he collapsed into sobs on the porch floor. I picked him up and carried him in to the couch, sitting down with him in my lap as he sobbed.

Bella came in only moments later. "I called Alice. She's on her way."

My eyes grew wider and she said, "She's dealt with Jasper before, Edward, when he came back from…that first place."

I wondered then how much my wife knew. Did Jasper share with Alice? Did Alice tell Bella things? It made a man wonder.

Bella POV

I glanced at my watch. "Ali, I need to get going. Jasper and Edward's therapy session should be over soon." I'd already called him a few times, just wondering how they were both doing, and received his voicemail each time.

She smiled at me and hugged me. "Thanks for going out with me tonight. When I got to Jasper's office today…I just…I couldn't go in. He looked so sad."

I hugged her tighter. "It will all work out." I pulled away and looked into her eyes. "But at least you have Laurent."

She blew out a breath. "Not for much longer."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He…doesn't understand me and Jasper. He wears Jasper's ring, but Jasper refuses to put one on me. He has to do as Jasper asks and I just…he's…it's just complicated."

What that includes Jasper, isn't? I thought to myself. But to her, I said, "Well, all of this will get straightened out eventually."

"You think so?" She asked.

I nodded. Jasper still loves you. "Give him time. Things will all work out in the end."

"I hope so. I love him so much still." She started crying softly. I held her for I don't know how long before she sucked in a breath. "Okay, you need to go, don't you?"

"I'm sorry, Ali."

"About what?" She asked.

That I have him and you don't, even if it's not exactly like how Edward does. "That he didn't see how much he really needs you."

She smiled. "Thank you, Bella. You always know just exactly what to say."

I winked at her. "I'm good that way."

"And modest, too." She said with a laugh.

I smiled. "Yes, well…"

"I'm teasing, Bella." She said with a twinkle in her eye. "You're one of the best friends a girl could ask for. I'm so glad we started hanging out."

"Me too," I said warmly. "Me too."

We kissed, probably earning a look from the passerby outside the theatre, but that was just something Alice did, kiss. And it felt…nice. It was just a, well, not quick peck on the lips, but certainly closed mouthed, before she danced away from me, now singing one of the songs from the movie we'd just watched.

I made my way back into the house at almost eleven o'clock, surprised that Edward wasn't home yet. But after this morning, well, I knew Edward had needed the connection, the sex, the love, I'm sure Jasper needed the same if not more. It stung a bit that I wasn't asked to participate in that, but at the same time, I was coming to understand their relationship. And their connection had brought mine and Edward's closer together also, so I couldn't say much.

I slipped into my comfy pajamas. It was cool outside, damp, as was usual for Seattle, so the flannel pants and Edward's tee-shirt felt good as I curled up in my chair with my book, waiting for Edward to arrive.

But he didn't arrive, instead, he called me. I picked it up and said, "Edward, where the hell have you…"

"Bella!" He said, interrupting me. "I need your help."

"Is it Jasper?" I asked, dropping my book as I stood.

"Yes. Please, come to his house, okay? We'll meet you there."

"Meet me? But where are you?" I asked, confused. Weren't they at Jasper's house?

"Very long story," He said. "Can you come?"

"Of course, Edward. I'm home now. Alice and I went out for dinner and a movie since you boys were going to be busy."

"Thank you, Bella, we'll see you in a few minutes."

I ran up the stairs, threw on one of Edward's sweatshirts and a pair of my blue jeans right over my pajama pants, shoved my feet in my sneakers and dashed out to the car. My phone rang once more. "Hello?" I asked, a little breathlessly.

"B, can you bring those meds I took to help me sleep? I think Jasper will need them tonight, okay?"

"Alright, Edward." I said, dropping my purse into the front seat. "I'm in the garage. I'll run back in."

"Thank you, love."

I dashed back into the house and grabbed the bottle of sleeping pills. I also found the anti-anxiety meds we had in there and decided that since I didn't know what the fuck was going on, that I'd grab Edward's medical bag. I'd made fun of him when he had bought the bag that looked like an old-timey doctor's house-call bag, but he'd said you never knew when a doctor, a surgeon, might need it.

I ran back out to the car and jumped in. I think I remembered to close the garage door. Oh well, if not, there was some nice silver and china that could be stolen.

On the now somewhat-familiar drive to Jasper's house, I thought of one thing, or rather, one person. I knew Edward thought he was helping Jasper, and maybe he was, but I knew someone else that needed to be there.

I didn't hesitate as I dialed her number. She picked up on the third ring. "Hello?"

"Alice! Thank god!"

"Bella? What's wrong?"

"Alice…I don't know, all I know is Edward called me to come over, said something is wrong with Jasper."

She let out a curse and said, "I'm on my way." She hung up on me. I tossed my phone into the cup holder and wished I could get there all the faster, and for the first time in my life, my little car got up to ninety miles an hour and I just prayed I wouldn't get stopped.

Luck was with me as I tore into Jasper's driveway. I grabbed everything from my car and dashed into the open door. The sight that met me ripped my heart out. Edward was sitting on the futon with Jasper on his lap, much like he would hold me. Jasper was sobbing and Edward had silent tears running down his face.

"I called Alice." I said softly, trying not to disturb Jasper any more than I had to. "She's on her way."

Edward shot me a look and I added, "She's dealt with Jasper before, Edward, when he came back from…that first place."

Edward looked like he wanted to say something, but Jasper's head lifted and he looked at me. "How much did she tell you?"

My breath caught but I knew I had to be truthful. "Everything she knows."

He let out a groan and his grip tightened around Edward's neck. I walked over to them and sat on the coffee table, rubbing Jasper's back. "It's okay, Jasper. We're here, we love you. Alice loves you."

"I don't want her seeing me like this."

"Too late, Jazzy," She said softly as she walked in and sat next to me. She looked like crap. She was wearing ratty clothes, similar to mine, and her mascara was smudged up under her eyes and she had black streaks running down her cheeks from her tears. "I've seen you like this before."

"Don't, Alice." He said softly.

"Maybe…maybe this time you'll accept me."

"You turned from me." He said coldly.

She shook her head. "You pushed me away. I didn't want to see you like that. You weren't my Jazzy anymore."

"I couldn't be that Jazzy anymore." He clarified.

"It doesn't matter now," She said. "With Edward…and Bella's help, maybe now we can get you back."

"He can't come back." Edward said stiffly.

Alice and I both looked at him. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Eleazar is sending him to Italy!"

I gasped, as Alice groaned. "He can't! He can't go back to that monster!"

"That's what I said," Edward said with a sob.

"It was a lie." Jasper said quietly.

We all gasped at that and Edward pulled him away to look at his eyes. "What?"

"That was what Elly whispered to me. He didn't really call Aro. It was a scare tactic, one he's used before, but it's damned affective. He did find out that James cracked his head and that it didn't look like an accident, but…"

My eyes grew wide. "What do you mean, 'it didn't look like an accident'? Wasn't it an accident?!"

Jasper and Edward both drew in a breath. "Well…see, the thing is…" Edward started.

"No, Bella, it wasn't. I killed him." Jasper said dispassionately. "And it's not the first time I've killed a person."

"Maria was self defense!" Alice and Edward both exclaimed.

I blinked, recalling what Edward had once told me about how Jasper could be violent if the need arose. So, he had killed before in self defense, but this…I turned to Edward. I had known something wasn't right with him this morning. "And what of you, Edward? What did you do to help?"

Alice looked at me in surprise before looking back at my husband. "I destroyed the evidence of the crime." He said, his eyes cast toward the floor.

My heart stopped for just a moment before I said calmly, "So…neither of you will be implicated for this?"

Jasper laughed flatly. "Even here, Aro has police in his pocket. It won't be an issue."

I nodded. "Good."

"That's it?" Edward asked.

I looked at him and said irritably, "Well, I can't un-kill him, now can I?"

Alice looked at me and burst out into giggles. And I don't know what it was, if it was the absurdity of the situation, or the gravity of it, but I started laughing as well. Jasper and Edward looked at us in alarm before they started laughing too.

We laughed forever it seemed before Jasper started sobbing again. Then all our laughter turned to tears. "Come on," Alice said softly. "We need to get more comfortable."

Edward looked at her in surprise. "Trust me," She mouthed to him. He nodded and picked up Jasper. I'd noticed Edward's arm muscles were getting all the more defined and his strength was clearly noticeable as he carried Jasper toward the bedroom.

"Lock the door, Bella. We're staying in tonight." Alice instructed as she followed behind the men.

I looked after them, wondering briefly exactly what my friend had in mind, but I just went with it and checked all the doors and windows to make sure they were locked before I too made my way to the bedroom.

I paused in the doorway when I got there. Edward and Alice were lovingly undressing Jasper. I noticed Alice had slipped off her jeans and sweater, wearing a pair of lace boyshorts and a shirt that must have been Jasper's once upon a time. Edward, too, had stripped down to his boxers and undershirt.

I just watched them for a moment until Alice said, "Bella? Would you like to come closer?"

My eyebrow shot up. "I don't want to intrude…" It was quite obvious how much they both loved him. And while I didn't love him, I did care about him.

"Nonsense." Alice said.

I nodded and took off my shoes, jeans, and sweatshirt, coming closer to the bed. Alice's hand shot out to reach for mine.

I grabbed it and to my surprise, she pulled me flush against her, our bodies aligning. "Oh!" Was my brilliant response.

She smiled. "Hey, Jazzy? How much would you like to see me kiss Bella right now?"

Jasper, who looked tired beyond belief, gave her a small smile. "Kitten, I don't know how much Bella would…"

"I didn't ask Bella, I asked you," She said with a small pout.

Jasper looked at me, and with a slight smirk, I bent to Alice, grasping her lips with mine. She was surprised for about a second before her lips conformed to mine and she let out a little groan of pleasure. I wrapped my arms around her for a hug and hers came around me.

I opened my eyes and caught hers as I felt her mouth curve up into a smile before I felt her tongue ask permission. I opened my mouth and the tips of our tongues touched, just for a second before she pulled away. I blushed and she giggled. "I think the boys liked our little show."

I looked over at Jasper and Edward who both looked dumbfounded, cocks at half-staff already. I smiled. "If I had known all it would take is me making out with Alice, I'd have done that before now."

Edward smiled and grabbed Alice and I, pulling us both onto the bed with Jasper. Edward kissed me tenderly before giving Alice a quick peck on the lips. "Let's get to sleep, shall we? Perhaps tomorrow things will look better."

I nodded and we all settled in.

Alice POV

I shifted in my sleep, being the smallest meant I often got squished in the bed between two men when I had them, but add another woman, and I had like, no room. So, I did what I had to. I found a body and climbed on top of it. There. Much better.

I awoke to fingers brushing my hair. I opened my eyes to find daylight had arrived and Jasper was smiling at me. But whose fingers…? I looked down at the body I was on. Edward. "Oops," I giggled.

He just smiled. "S'okay," He said sleepily before letting out a slight snore once more.

I looked over and saw Bella slumbering still as well, tucked into Edward's side. She had a leg threaded between Edward's; Jasper had a leg on top of Edward's, and subsequently, mine. My eyes lit back on Jasper once more. "You okay?" I whispered.

He nodded and I moved off of Edward. He let out a little snort and turned into Bella. Jasper's arms circled me and I sighed as I breathed him in. This was where I was supposed to be. Not with Laurent and his stupid dreadlocks and his simple minded attitude. I sighed as I thought about last night…

The phone rang just as I was slipping out of my clothes. Of course, Laurent had waited up for me and that had put me in a foul mood. There was only one person I would willingly have sex with every night and he was very much off limits. "Don't answer it," Laurent had said in that sexy voice of his, the French accent still prevalent, even though he'd spent his whole life in the US.

"It may be an emergency." I said as I pulled away from him and his lips. I traveled over to my purse. I dug through the Prada bag until I found my bejeweled cell phone. Bella? What could she want? "Hello?"

"Alice! Thank god!"

I felt my heart drop. "Bella? What's wrong?"

"Alice…I don't know, all I know is Edward called me to come over, said something is wrong with Jasper."

"Fuck," I muttered under my breath. "I'm on my way." I snapped the phone shut and ran for a pair of my jogging pants that were lying over the chest at the foot of the bed.

"What is it?" Laurent asked me.

"I have to go, it's Jasper…"

He let out a snort and I stopped. "What?"

"Of course it is."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"You know exactly what that means."

"No. I don't." I said as I pulled on a sweater.

"It's Jasper. Of course you'll drop me, your boyfriend of three fucking years, Alice."

My mouth opened and closed. "Look, Laurent…"

"Save it. I'm tired of this shit. I pledged my loyalty to Jasper, but not to you. I'm his sub, I accept that, but I will not be treated like pond scum, Alice."

"What are you…?"

He sighed. "Look, you love Jasper. That's fine. I get it. I always knew it was him first, but I…I can't do it anymore. I need a break, Alice. I can't keep playing this game with you."

I sucked in a breath. "What do you mean?"

"I'm out, Alice, I'm leaving. I'll clear out my things tomorrow."

I went to the bed. "Laurent…"

"Don't. We both know it was but a matter of time, Cherie…" His hand traveled to my face tenderly. "Don't you cry over me. We both know the tears aren't for me anyway. Go, be with him."

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

He nodded. "As am I."

"Alice? Are you alright?" Jasper asked me quietly.

I nodded, biting my lip. "I must look a mess…" I said as I tried to move over his body to get out of the bed.

He tightened his grip on me. "Like a beautiful mess." He corrected me. "Alice…"

"Don't, Jasper. I was wrong, okay? It wasn't fair of me to give you an ultimatum those years ago."

"I deserved it."

"No, you didn't. There are a lot of things you don't deserve."

"I…" His hand ghosted over my face, wiping at the smudges from my makeup. "I…love you, Alice. You know that, right?"

"Took you long enough to tell me again, Jasper." His eyes filled with tears once again before I tacked on, "I love you too."

"I'm fucked up." He whispered.

"I know, baby. Edward, Bella, and I will make you well, okay?"

"I need Elly…"

I shook my head. "Elly is the reason you're still fucked up, Jasper! Don't you get it?! This Dom/sub lifestyle has fucked you up! If you had let me…if you had…" I was sobbing now.

His grip tightened on me and he kissed me, really kissed me, for the first time in too long. "Jasper…"

His hips bucked into me, his morning wood tempting me. "Jazz…"

"Please, Ali? I need…"

"Shhh," I said into his mouth, slipping out of my panties. Edward and I had stripped Jasper bare last night, not knowing what he would need as the night went on, but luckily, I think he slept fairly peacefully. I kissed him even as I sank onto his cock.

"Fuck," He muttered.

My eyes rolled back into my head. There was nothing in the world like the feel of Jasper inside of me. "You feel so damn good, baby," I whimpered.

His hands tightened around my hips as he moved me up, down, up, down. Our mouths never left each other as we continued to softly make love. The whole world dissolved as we continued to move. I had tunnel vision, only seeing Jasper, only seeing to his pleasure.

His hands moved; one to the globe of my ass, one to my clit as mine traveled up to cup his face as I kissed him. We were both whimpering as we continued to move. "Jasper," I whispered against his lips.

"Alice…sugar, I'm going to…"

"Cum with me, baby," I purred.

He buried his face in my neck as his hips bucked wildly up into me. I took every bit of him into me, hoping against hope that even if I couldn't have him, I could have a child to share with him, even if he didn't want me. If I did become pregnant, I could always run away. I had enough money from my family, I could easily find a place to hide and raise my child, my little Jasper…all on my own.

We lay there panting, sated, and he stiffened. "Shit, we didn't…"

"Birth control," I said calmly. "Got 'cha covered, babe," I lied smoothly. If he ever knew…well, yes, it was a lie, one I would come clean with if the timing was right.

He smiled and kissed me. "I love you, Alice." He said again.

I bit my lip as I smiled. "I love you too, Jasper."

I felt movement on the bed and felt my little bubble of happiness burst. Of course, we weren't alone. To my surprise, Edward and Bella were…I turned to Jasper. "Have you watched them before?"

He nodded. "They are beautiful."

I snuggled down onto him. "Then, let's not miss the show."
