Chapter Eighteen
Bella
Jasper was the one and my whole body screamed to make him mine, to devour him, take him into myself and hold him there for eternity. His eyes drank in the sight of my body as I stripped off and joined him on the bed,
"Well are you going to keep the lady waiting?"
He rolled on top of me pinning me down and holding my wrists with one hand above my head,
"Don't rush me darlin'. Like you I've waited too long for this."
I could feel his excitement even through his clothes and wriggled my body against his, hearing a hiss of pleasure escape between his teeth as he fought to keep control. His other hand ripped his shirt and threw it to the floor so our upper bodies were in contact, skin to skin and I moaned in pleasure at the feeling, the heat in my belly setting me on fire as he kissed my neck unzipping his jeans with his free hand and kicking them off with a little help from my squirming body. Now I could feel his naked body against mine I stopped breathing, his scent was sending me over the edge, I was losing control rapidly and it wasn't fair.
"Now be a good girl and give up the struggling or I'll stop."
I groaned as I saw the evil smile on his face, he was enjoying this way too much. I struggled briefly but he was far stronger than me so I fought to keep still and as he kissed my throat, my shoulders, then my breasts and I felt waves of pleasure crashing through my body and overwhelming my senses.
Jasper
Bella was as eager as I was but I needed to show my superiority over her, it was instinctive with mates, the male had to be the one in control at least in the beginning but Bella was driving me crazy with desire. What I wanted to do was take her now but I played the game, heightening the pleasure as she struggled then finally allowed me to take control. I let go of her wrists and she held me close then caressed my chest as I lifted my body from hers to look down on her perfect beauty.
"I love you Bella"
Before she could answer me I found her wet and eager and thrust inside feeling her body contract around me, pulling me further in and taking control away from me. I couldn't move as she seized me so tightly and I gasped as she smiled and bit into my shoulder, leaving another scar but one I would be proud to display then as she pulled her teeth free she whispered in my ear,
"Now you have control Jazz, of all of me"
I had never felt anything like it as we made love again and again, Bella sucking the life from me with every climax until at last I was too weak to do more than collapse on her but I had saved enough to bite down on her throat and pump my venom in knowing that my mark would be visible to everyone, she was mine and what The Major owned no man had better get too close to. She hissed in pain then pulled me close and we lay together trying desperately to pull ourselves back to earth but enjoying the feeling of completeness that was mine at last.
Bella
When we heard the others on their way back we parted reluctantly and showered quickly, together of course, anything else would have seemed odd. We were dressed and downstairs just in time to greet them as they came through the door, Peter grinning from ear to ear,
"Well it looks like The Major finally got laid by a real woman"
Charlotte dug him in the ribs and he shouted in pain,
"Woman don't do that, you could cause serious damage to me"
"Yeah Char smack him on the head, nothing to damage there"
He looked at me and raised an eyebrow,
"Big bedbugs in your bed Bella"
I touched the burning scar on my throat and smiled,
"That's not all it did"
He held his hands up in mock horror,
"Too much information Bella, don't even go there. I know the Major has a few kinks but if he starts getting too much just let me know and I 'll kick his sorry ass a few miles down the road then come back and show you what a real man can do for a girl"
Jazz growled partly in fun but partly seriously, he was going to be very possessive as was I at least for a while. I felt uneasy if Char approached too close but she seemed to understand and kept her distance. Peter on the other hand couldn't help enjoying living dangerously and got closer and closer despite Jaspers warnings which became loud enough to be heard a mile away.
"Peter"
Charlotte's warning came too late as Jazz launched himself on Peter teeth snapping close to his friends throat while his fist came down on Peters jaw with a loud smack.
Jasper
It amused me to see Bella become tense when Charlotte got too close to me and she understood backing off without making a fuss. It was a wonderful feeling to mean so much to a woman that she would fight to protect her man but unfortunately Peter seemed to be playing an entirely different game approaching Bella more and more closely. I warned him but he ignored me and I wondered if he were just deliberately baiting me. It was more than possible but what he seemed to have forgotten was quite how dangerous it could be. Suddenly I saw red and couldn't control myself any longer, I just wanted to rip his arms off, his throat out, for trying to get between me and my mate. Throwing myself on him jaws snapping we crashed through the door and onto the dirt track in front of the house. I didn't see my friend any longer merely a rival, and one who needed to die. If not for Bella's intervention I think I might have destroyed him. She cried my name and fell to her knees, instantly I was at her side wrapping her in my arms comforting her and checking she wasn't hurt. In the meantime Char dragged Peter back into the house and sat on him.
Bella
This became a fight to the death and I knew we had to stop it somehow. I did the only thing I could think of and feigned hurt. It worked, Jazz switched straight from warrior to comforter and flew to me taking me in his arms to protect and comfort me. I saw Charlotte drag Peter away and whispered calming words into Jaspers ear stroking his face and hair and kissing him over and over.
"Its OK Jazz, I'm fine. You can see I'm not hurt. I love you so please don't leave me. Stay here and hold me"
He did, burying his face in my hair and breathing my scent deeply and I realized just how powerful our love was, he would kill for it as would I. No one, nothing, was getting between us or hurting either of us ever again. Experimentally I thought about Alice Cullen and felt my anger increasing, filling me up and I thought if I ever saw her again I might well kill her, in which case Aro didn't stand a chance. Looking over Jaspers shoulder I saw Peter stagger out looking angry and deciding enough was enough I concentrated and he flew back crashing into a tree and dropping to the ground. Jazz heard the crash and turned ready to attack again but I shook my head, not realizing he couldn't stop himself so I threw up a barrier between my mate and his best friend, the only way to save his life. Jazz stopped dead by my shield looked around then threw himself at the invisible wall but it held and as he calmed down I went to him and took him in my arms before dropping the shield,
"Enough Peter. Just stay away until he's calm"
Jasper half turned as I spoke but I held on to him and kissed him while Peter nodded and walked away limping with Charlotte holding his arm and shouting at him.
