A/N: I got lucky being able to fit the ceremony and reception together. Lol. Now let's get to the honeymoon. I'm not gonna describe every detail as that would be totally tedious. Just an FYI.
nickaroos- ordinarily I wouldn't reply to your review this way, but FFN is being stupid again and your review is not there. I got the email though and read it and since it's that time again, I figured I'd just reply here. Thank you. I'm glad that I didn't get too over descriptive and could give you a wonderful visual of their big day. :)
For anyone who doesn't know, there is a Pinterest page for this story. It's under Twisted and the link is on my profile here. I put the pictures of all that was described in last chapter there, just as I do most chapters.
Another FYI, this story is almost complete. Sad right? I already have another in the works but will be taking a bit of a posting hiatus so I can get it the way I really want it because the content will be a bit rough. I'll try to get it up as soon as I can though.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Jasper
When we reach the hotel it's eleven in the evening. We check in and the bell boy helps us take our bags up to the room. After he goes I take Bella in my arms and kiss her. I can't wait to be inside her, so I unzip her jacket and push it off her shoulders, ripping her shirt up over her head after it leaving her only in her skin. She's not wearing a bra. Her tits are fantastic and I have to taste them. She starts to protest, something about some special outfit she has for the night, but I don't care. The moment I saw her perfect, perky breasts that was it for me.
Smothering her continued protests with a searing kiss, I cup those beautiful globes and all her protesting is replaced with a low moan. She arches into me, filling my hands full of her softness. I thumb her nipples as I begin the slow trek kissing down her neck. I kiss all across her collarbone and down the top of one breast before taking a pert nipple into my mouth. She gasps as I bite down slightly before circling it with my tongue and suckling it.
I lave over it with my tongue before licking my way to the other and giving it the same treatment. She's panting now, her hands threading into the hair at the nape of my neck to keep me there. I have other plans. I lift my head and stand upright. Grabbing her I move her into the bedroom and close the door, pushing her back into it. She groans as my hand finds its way down the front of her pants, running up her slit before I circle her clit with me finger.
She arches into my hand and my control snaps. I step back from her, drawing a protest from her, but it dies as I begin to remove my own clothes. She stands there against the door, looking so fucking sensual with her nipples standing at attention, her pants undone, and the look of lust in her eyes. It runs over me in waves from her emotions and I growl at her. She merely smirks and j can't help but shake my head at her. Minx.
Once I'm down to my skin I stalk forward and grab ahold of her pants and jerk them down her legs, leaving her panties on- I simply move the white lace covering her mound to the side. I waste no time on the delectable little treat she's donned. I lift her up, lean her back against the door and sheath myself in her with one deep thrust. Her head flies back and her mouth opens on a silent scream. It's rough and fast and by the time we both come we're panting. But I'm not satisfied, not nearly. I carry her to the bed and start my seduction all over again.
I kiss and nibble my way down her torso until I get to her still exposed pussy. But I ignore it, much to her disappointment, and flip her onto her stomach and kiss down her spine until I reach the waist band of her panties. Now I take my time looking at them. These are the ones she chose to wear for our wedding? How did I miss these in her underwear drawer? They're those cheeky panties. All white lace and, after flipping her over for a better view of her delectable ass, I see there's a bow on the back. Like I'm opening a present. And what a gift she is.
I flip her back over and pull her panties slowly down her legs, taking her all in, before tossing them off behind me somewhere. Then I dive in. Parting her already wet folds I tongue up her slit to that little nub that I suck into my mouth, causing her to cry out and claw at me shoulders. I lick, suck and bite her to an orgasm so strong she clenches my head between her thighs. Then I start all over again. I drive her to two more orgasms before finally coming up on my knees and positioning myself at her entrance.
I hold her gaze as I slowly push my way into her. She gasps as I finally give one final shove and seat myself fully. Coming down over her I lean on my elbows, on either side of her face, pull back out almost to the tip, and then plunge back in. I set up a rhythm, the pace picking up as I feel my own orgasm coming. I lean forward and kiss her as my thrusts become erratic and she clutches at my back as I feel her walls tightening around me. We chase the end together, cresting as we call each other's names. I collapse on top of her and she rubs my back where her nails have probably left some decent marks.
After a moment or two I roll over and take her into my arms. We lay there, touching each other all over as we revel in the silence and our sated state. Before long I'm ready to go again and we spend the rest of the night loving each other.
The next night, when I get a load of the black cotton and lace babydoll nightie she planned to wear on our wedding night, I almost kick myself. Almost.
We spend and day and a half, two nights, in Seattle. We end up taking in a Mariners game and go shopping- sending it all back to the house in Forks-, among other things. Then we begin our trek down the coast. She's so excited as we go and I fill myself with it. I'm glad I chose to do this.
Bella
We traveled down the coast. Stopping wherever we felt and doing whatever we wished. On sunny days we stayed in the forests that lined the coast and made love in a tent we would pitch in a quiet, secluded spot away from humans. We would run through the forest or swim in the ocean and I finally got to really revel in being a vampire. I felt as if I was born to become one and I was glad that I had followed my heart and moved to Forks so I could meet my mate, Jasper.
We enjoy all kinds of sites and our days are full of fun, laughter and love. It all ends for us after a trip to the Grand Canyon, after a day there we head to Phoenix, our three weeks over. It's now July second and we manage to get to the hotel Jake booked around eleven at night, my new black BMW M5 easily recognized in the parking lot- we got Jake a fake drivers license for this trip so he could drive legally without a licensed driver. It's just one more item he will need when we leave Forks anyway.
Our twins greet us enthusiastically and beg us to tell them how everything went, but it's past their bed time and so they head to bed with frowns and groans. They perk up though, after we promise to tell them what we did the next morning. After all, we won't be going to the cemetery until it's dark.
The next morning dawns bright and sunny so we spend the morning, after Jake runs to get them and himself breakfast, telling them about our trip.
On rainy or cloudy days we went among humans and did things like take a boat trip out to see the whale pods that frequented the pacific coasts, though I have to say swimming out there from shore and swimming with them was a far better experience. They weren't afraid of us, though I wouldn't be if I was so much larger than the creature swimming and taking underwater pictures of me either.
I'm so glad that Alice put the underwater professional camera and the regular professional camera in Jasper's bag. The pictures we have gotten so far, and are sure to get as we continue, are sure to be fantastic.
As we returned to shore, we came across the cliffs of sea lions. They were a tad more wary, but I'll never forget them frolicking in the ocean around me. I'll also never forget Jasper's surprise when we went to surface, just outside of the shallows before going to shore. We weren't paying attention when we came up and he literally had a sea otter on his head. I laughed so hard and in his desire to "punish" me, well...lets just say that I'll never forget that.
We often camped so we could avoid hotels and humans, so we could engage in a more, vampiric, way of having sex. It was often rough and so damn good. But we did stop in at hotels for warm showers- though the temperature of the water never much mattered, it had more to do with the salt in the ocean. We also hit a few historical places along the way and by the time we reached California, we didn't want it all to end.
We stopped in at Venice Beach, thankfully the day was cloudy and we didn't have to worry about sparkling and giving ourselves away. We went into a variety of shops and purchased souvenirs for everyone at home and the twins, then spent the rest of the day on the beach. I even got to see the green flash that is so rarely seen by anyone. We did a little night swimming then and got to have the privilege of seeing a Great White shark up close and personal.
It tried to take a bite out of my mate though. That pissed him off, despite the fact that even the large shark can't hurt us, and he was ready to get out then. The next night we went to the Santa Monica Pier and rode the rides, especially the ferris wheel- which is decked out in multiple colored lights that make beautiful patterned as it spins-, and Jasper played a few games and won me pink eared elephant at the Goblet Toss.
After that we headed inland. Vegas and all the lights was amazing, though the noise was grating to my new vampire ears. I found myself really good at blackjack and wound up winning a good deal of money, around two grand before I gave up. We decided that this is what we would use to start Jake's travel account.
The Grand Canyon was even more stunning, especially as the sun rose. We went on our own little climbing tour, staying far away from anywhere humans might catch us climbing the cliffs without equipment. We went down to the canyon floor and followed the Colorado River, looking through all the caves- even swimming into a few like Emerald Cave- and such as we went. We even had an exhilarating naughty moment when Jasper pushed me up against one of the rock walls and took me from behind.
Anyone could have seen us, either kayaking on the river or from up above with binoculars, but that was what was so thrilling. After that we found another place to climb back up and waited out until we watched the sun set below the western horizon. We spent a little time looking up at the stars the Milky Way a prominent fixture in the sky, so clear and bright this far away from the lights of the cities, then we got back on the bike and drove to the hotel Jake booked in Phoenix.
When Jasper told me that was our final destination I was excited. When he told me why, I kissed him all over his face and thanked him in the best way I knew how. As we pulled into the city limits, I had become a little nervous. It has been over a year since I've been here. Nothing had changed. Not the sights, the sounds, the smells- though they are brighter, stronger and more beautiful to my vampire senses. If I'm honest though, as I sit here with my husband, children and friend- I was glad to finally be home.
Though, I can no longer really call Phoenix my home. No, my home was with my new family. The Cullens. My mate. My children. Even Jake was a part of our family now, and the pack by extension.
After our promise to them to tell them about our trip this morning, Jake left and went to his own room. We watched our children sleep, Jasper in the arm hair in the corner, me on his lap, until the sun came up and they began to stir.
Now that our tale is done, they're expressing a desire to do it all too, so we decide that would be what we would do on our return to Forks- head back up the coast starting from the Grand Canyon. For now, there were more sensitive things at hand.
We give them their gifts then. A few tee shirts, some keychains, even those little name plate things. When Jake unwrapped the money, he stared at it in shock for a moment before trying to give it back. "I can't take this. This is too much."
He tried to press it into Jasper's hand, but Jazz wasn't having it. "You're a part of our family now, Jake. But you have family in Forks that you're going to want to see from time to time. That takes money. This is just a start up. The rest will be up to you. You can invest some, which I will help you with, and you can add to it through a job if you wish. But we're not about to keep you from being able to see your dad and sister and any nieces and nephews she and Paul have by not providing the means to help you afford to be able to go back. So you're going to take this and you're going to thank Bella for winning it at blackjack."
Jake smiled then, then laughed. "You really won this at blackjack, Bells?"
"Yeah I did, Jake. It was fun. Now, what do you guys want to do since we can't go out until it gets dark?"
We watched some tv for a bit, then put together the 1000 piece Grand Canyon puzzle we gave the twins, then just hung out reading or whatever. We waited for the dark and when it came we made our way to the cemetery. It was closed of course, but what wall could ever keep a vampire out. Even Jake had no trouble scaling it.
We found my parents graves, just as I had left them the day I laid them to rest- albeit with grass covering them over now and the fresh flowers I ordered to be delivered every week set in the concrete vases on either side. Their names and the dates of their births and deaths were on them, as well as the beloved father, beloved mother, bit. I took a moment to myself, Jasper and the other three hanging back so I could. I greeted the stones just as if my parents were sitting in front of me, smiling.
"Hey Mom, Dad, it's me. Of course it's me, who else would it be," though judging by the other flowers, their friends have been by often in the past year. "I wanted to come sooner, but so much has happened to me the past year and thanks to my wonderful new husband I finally have the chance. There's so much I need to tell you. So much I wish you could have been here to see. Dad, Mom was right. There are things in this world unseen and unknown and I found them. I had to move. I couldn't bear being here anymore without you and it was the best decision of my life.
"I met my husband, after all. I think you'd really like him Dad, he reminds me of you in so many ways. He's kind and caring, handsome and sweet. He is also an excellent protector and provider. We have children too, twins. We named Micah after you Dad and Carlie after you Mom. I wish you could meet them and them you. They're the lights of my life. Then there's Jake. He's hard to explain, but let's just say he's Carlie's big brother, Micah's too really, for that's the way he treats them. He's a good kid with the makings of becoming a great man.
"Then there's the Cullens. We had a rough patch in the beginning, with the one called Edward, but things worked out in the end. I won't get into the details though. I just wanted to tell you I'm happy. I miss you both like crazy, especially in moments when things happen I wish to tell you about and then remember I can't- at least not to your faces. But I'm very happy, and you don't have to worry about me. Thank you, for being the best parents a kid could ask for. I love you." I lean down and kiss my fingertips and place them on each headstone.
When I straighten I can feel him behind me. He wraps me up from behind and lays his chin on my shoulder. On either side of me my children take a hand. Jake is on Carlie's right.
We stand there a moment, before Jasper lifts his head and begins to speak himself. "I just wanted to say, Charlie, Renee, that I'll take good care of Bella for the rest of our lives. I'll love her like she deserves and I'll strive never to disappoint her. I want to thank you for bringing her into this world. We were destined for each other and I can't help the gratitude I feel towards you for raising such an amazing person. I wish I could have met you both."
Then Carlie and Micah. "Grandpa and Grandma Swan, we're your grandchildren. We wish we could have met you too, but know that you're in heaven smiling down on all of us. You're our guardian angels and we know you'll watch over us forever. We love you."
Jake doesn't say anything, but then I didn't expect it and that's ok. We lay the flowers we brought, as well as the little gifts the twins made, on the headstones and leave. I feel infinitely better now that I've come back and seen that their gravesites are being well cared for and that they're not alone, that people have been visiting themselves and my flowers aren't the only ones being left. We put the kids to bed, Jake in the second twin bed in the room, and then head next door to Jake's room. He knew we needed the night alone.
That night our love making is slow and sweet. The final orgasm I have is mind blowing and we drift off in a blissful daydream of our future. I don't know if Jasper is seeing the same one I am, but I see a lot of joy and an eternity of happiness. I see grandchildren as well. Jake's own little pack. I see our family by our sides as well. We will never want for anything again. Life will be just like the happily ever afters at the end of the fairy tale. I've found my prince. He's everything a girl could ever ask for and I'll never have to let him go. Life has never been grander.
Jasper
Our family vacation is spent much like our honeymoon was. Full of pretty sights, fun historical places, and just love. Having it just be my mate, my children and Jake is a grand time. I love my family, but sometimes it gets to be too much- too many people around at once can be smothering.
Speaking of family. We went to where the home my family had made had been, just outside Houston. There's nothing there now but the foundations where the house and barn used to be and weeds and grasses as far as the eye can see. I was disappointed. I mean, I knew this was a possibility- it had been over a hundred sixty years after all- but I had hoped to at least find my parents gravestones in the local cemetery. They weren't there, so we came out to the farm and I lost hope of finding them upon seeing what we were seeing.
Carlie and Micah took off running through the grasses, exploring the remains of my home, yelling questions back at me as they went. It was just happenstance that Micah tripped over them. When I went to check him over, I spotted the flat worn stone markers with their names and the dates of their birth and death on them. No pretty words, just those. They were side by side.
There were also two other graves, mine was definitely empty, and I'm sure my brothers was too. These were just honorary in our memories. It warmed me to know that they didn't hate me for running away. That they loved me, even after I abandoned them and never returned.
They'd died within months of each other in 1880. I had told Bella how, but I couldn't bring myself to look at their stones back then so I never searched for where they were laid to rest. I just looked at the house I grew up in and asked around the town about what had happened. After losing me and my brother my Papa worked the farm alone. It just became too much for them both. At least I got to finally say my goodbyes properly this time.
After that we went off to the capital of Texas and went to Galveston and I told them what I had done here.
After that we traveled around the country. We found ourselves at the University of Rochester, which amused me since the family has a house there, where one of the female descendants of my sister taught. We got permission to audit the class under the guise that we had taken a year off school and were thinking about coming here in the fall, we left Jake and the twins at the hotel. As I watched her I noticed several of her mannerisms were just like my sisters, the ones I could remember.
She looked just like my sister might have, had I ever seen her at age thirty as well. She was blonde, the same honey hue as my own, the same as my mothers. Her blue eyes inherited from my father. She was lovely and I was happy to see that she was happy. It was all over her emotions. She also had a secret and I was sure it was the tiny heartbeat I could hear thumping at a faster speed than the fifteen others in the room. We left that day knowing that my family lives on in the descendants of my sister as well as my children. It was more than I could ever ask for.
