Chapter 8 – Bella

Rose! That was Rose!

I stood up, out of Edward's arms, in an instant and searched out the sound of her voice. As soon as I saw her I felt my eyes prickle with tears of pure joy and excitement. Rosie was here!

I ran to her, pushing and shoving at the few people stupid enough to not get out of my way. I didn't give them a second thought as I pushed my way through, only one thought on my mind; Rose!

Rose ran towards me, closing the distance between us until our bodies crashed together. Our arms wrapped around each other and I held her tightly to me; as tightly as she was holding me. I laughed through the tears that made tracks down my cheeks.

"Rose! I'm so happy you're here!" I shouted into her ear. I pressed my nose into her neck and breathed in the scent of sun on her skin; she smelt of home.

"Bella, sweetie, you have no idea how much I've missed you!" Rose squealed back at me and I could hear the tears in her voice.

I held her to me tighter and we laughed together. I felt better than I'd been the entire time I'd been here, in the asshole of the USA.

"Not that I'm not pleased to see you Rosie, but..."

"Where's my loser brother?"

"Yeah."

"I wondered when I'd get dumped for his ass. Took longer than I thought," Rose laughed and I joined in. She pressed a kiss to my cheek and I returned the gesture.

"So, where is he?"

Rose turned us around while we hugged and I caught a glimpse of Edward, he was now standing in front of the circle we had been sitting in. He didn't look happy. At this moment, I really didn't care. Rose moved one arm from my waist and with an arm around my shoulders, she turned me around so I was facing the back wall.

Then I saw him.

Jasper.

My Jasper. He was leaning back against the wall with his feet crossed and his hands shoved in his jeans pockets. The gray top he was wearing was tight enough to hint at the spectacular chest I knew was hiding there. His golden hair was falling in its usual disarrayed curls around his head, a few curls hanging over his eyes. My eyes moved, slowly, up his body, taking in every single inch of his glorious body, every inch making my breath come in shallower gasps and the burning in the bottom of my stomach soaked my panties. I moved my eyes up to meet Jasper's and bit my lip as I saw the look burning in his eyes. I was frozen with my lust; frozen by the burning lust in Jasper's eyes.

Rose bent over and kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear, "Well go on then, I'm sure I can fend for myself for a while." She pinched my side and I jumped forward. Jasper laughed. My heart jumped at the sound and sight. And that was all it took.

I ran the small distance to Jasper, too in need of his touch to simply walk. I could feel every eye in the place focused on me; but what was new about that? And why should I care what the small town losers thought? I couldn't really blame them I guess, I'd be watching Jasper if he was in a room.

My eyes focused on Jasper as I ran, taking in the true beauty of him. My heart beat sped up at the idea of having him with me and spending time alone with him; of touching him, and smelling him and tasting him.

When I had almost reached him, Jasper pulled his hands from his jeans and motioned for me to jump to him with a panty drenching crooked smile. I jumped forward into his arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him, anchoring me to him; binding us together. I looked down at his face, categorizing the tiniest of changes; the length of his stubble, the slight shadow under his eyes. At the same time I rememorized everything I loved about him; the brilliant colour of his eyes that changed from brown to almost green depending on how he was feeling, his curls that hung down over his forehead and nearly covered his eyes, his jaw line, his nose, his lips.

"Bella," I watched Jasper's lips move around my name and my fingers moved from the nape of his neck to trace his soft lips. They parted under my touch and I felt his tongue caress my skin. "I've missed you so much, baby." His eyes were burning a deep brown and I heard my breath catch.

I crushed my lips to his then, in a passion filled kiss that told him, without words, how much I had missed him. My hands framed his face, holding his lips to mine and Jasper's hands clutched my butt, pulling me closer to him. Our tongues met at the same moment and I pulled him into my mouth, desperate to taste more of him. I moved my hands from his face and pushed the hair back from his eyes and ran my fingers through it. Jasper turned us around and I felt the hardness of the wall pressed against my back.

Jasper bit my lip and pulled back, grinning evilly at me while he pinned me to the wall with his hips. I could feel his hardness between us and couldn't stop the loud moan from escaping. I pushed down onto him and watched as Jasper released my lips with a hiss before he pushed back up onto me. My hands fell to his shoulders and my head hit the wall behind me.

"So I take it you're glad to see me?" I moaned up to the ceiling while Jasper's mouth worked on my neck. His fingers traced down my side and dipped in towards my navel.

"Oh, I'm very pleased to see you, darlin'," Jasper's fingers dipped down into the waist band of my jeans and he popped the button open.

My eyes darted open and my head snapped up, my eyes spun around the room. I wasn't worried about people seeing us; this was tame for me and Jasper and I certainly wasn't surprised to be seen like this with him. I just wondered if the people at this party would even recognise what was happening.

My eyes met Jasper's bright ones and my smile grew at the playful smile on his. I leant forward and attacked his lips with mine again in a kiss that told him everything; how much I missed him, how I was happy to see him, how much I loved him. Our kiss was rough and urgent and full of lust and love. I pulled on Jasper's hair, trying to bring him closer to me. His taste and smell surrounded me and brought me to life. Jasper's fingers inched further into my panties making me moan around his tongue in my mouth.

"Bella, baby, I need to get you somewhere more private – now."

I could only groan while I ground myself down onto Jasper's fingers. My lips continued to move against his, my teeth pulled at his lips, my tongue caressed his.

"Bella, now." Jasper spoke with more dominance this time. This was an order and it thrilled me.

"OK," I pulled back from him, and shivered at the heavy lust burning through his eyes.

Slowly, carefully, Jasper released me and let my body slid along his. His body sent a fire burning through every inch of mine; I could feel him everywhere. The fire Jasper lit in me was nothing like the fluttering butterflies Edward triggered. Jasper's fire burnt those butterflies' wings.

I took Jasper's hand and pulled him behind me up the stairs. A few people looked at us as we made our way up; I saw a few winks and an occasional elbow jab that made me laugh. I could hear Jasper laughing along behind me and winked at him over my shoulder. I caught a glimpse of Rose and waved at her while I pulled Jasper after me. Rose had her back against a grand piano with Emmett sat on the bench between her legs and Alice leaning next to her. They all looked like they'd known each other forever. Jasper bit my butt with a growl and I jumped up the last few steps with a squeal.

I pulled Jasper up into the first floor corridor where we were hidden from all view. I turned and pounced on Jasper; pushing him into the wall with all of my strength and pressing my entire body up against his. Every inch of my body was pressed to his and I loved the feeling of it. I had missed it.

I pressed my lips to his in a slow lingering kiss, my hands held onto his hips, holding his body to mine. Jasper's hands moved up to frame my face while his tongue darted out and asked for entrance. With a grin I shook my head quickly, pressed one more kiss to his lips and darted away from him.

Jasper growled as I ran down the corridor. I knew he was coming after me, I could hear his footsteps catching up to me. But that didn't matter; I didn't want to escape, I wanted him to catch me. I just wanted the thrill. I enjoyed playing with Jasper.

When I reached the end of the corridor Jasper's hands gripped my hips and he spun me around in a complete circle making me scream loudly. I laughed when he pulled my back tightly to his chest and growled into my ear, his teeth pulled at my earlobe and I didn't try to hide my shiver or moan.

"I've caught you now, Bella. Now I can do what I want with you."

"And what do you want?" I panted.

"Just you."

"You have me."

With me still tightly held against his chest Jasper kicked the closest door open and pulled me in. There was a small amount of silver light filtering in from the circle window. We were in the bathroom across from Edward's bedroom.

"Nice," Jasper muttered looking around the not so small room, "But it will look nicer with your clothes on the floor."

Before I had chance to reply Jasper had spun me around and crushed his lips to mine. I moaned again and tried to step closer, pressing my body to his, winding my fingers in his hair and sucking his tongue into my mouth. Jasper's fingers found the hem of my top and I held my arms up so he could pull it off.

All of our teasing had gone now. My bra, jeans and panties quickly joined my shirt on the floor. Jasper's clothes were not far behind. He was right, the room did look better covered in our clothes.

Jasper lifted me from the ground and walked backwards until he could sit me on the counter. The cold granite of the surface made me squeal and I jumped back into Japer's arms. I wrapped my arms around him, my legs around his waist and clung to the warmth of his skin. Jasper laughed and held onto me.

Jasper twirled us around, his hands gripping my ass, and pressed my back into the wall next to the window. "This better baby?"

I couldn't answer him. His mouth was already working on neck, heading down towards my chest. I arched my body away from the wall, pressing my chest up and closer to his tongue. I could feel Jasper's hardness on my stomach and I needed it.

"Jasper," I panted. "Now, I need you now."

"Mmm," Jazz laughed with his lips still on my skin, "You're very demanding tonight darlin'."

"I missed you," my lips pressed onto the skin just below his ear and my fingers pulled in his hair. "I just need you now."

"I missed you too," Jasper murmured against my skin.

Then his fingers were digging into my hips and he was lining himself up at my entrance. I braced my hands on his shoulders and held my breath. Jasper's eyes found mine as he, all too slowly, thrust up to fill me. I threw my head back and bit my lip to hold in my scream; I wanted to keep it for myself. I wanted all of Jasper, all of the feelings he gave me.

My breath blew out in a gasp when he filled me. We stood still, me wrapped around him and him filling me, just looking at each and panting out our love and desire.

Then the stillness was over. Jasper pulled completely out of me, but before I was able to comprehend the loss he pushed back in making my back arch as I screamed. He kept up a fast and hard past, banging my head against the wall and gripping my hips. My hands twisted and pulled in his hair and Jasper groaned.

With my fingers in his hair I pulled his face up to meet mine. Our kiss was as rough and feral as our fucking. There was nothing sweet or particularly loving about this; we could do that later. Now, we were showing how much we missed each other. Later, we would relearn each other's bodies and show our love.

"Faster, Jasper, harder!" I spoke around deep kisses.

Jasper grinned at me and swung me away from the wall. In an instant I was sitting on the edge of the cabinet and cringing away from the cold granite. Jasper pulled my legs wide; one foot was pressed against the wall while the other was resting on the edge of the sink. Jasper grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to the edge. Then he was back inside of me and my head was thrown back against the mirror. The pace was fast and I could feel my orgasm building quickly. Running his hands down my neck to my chest, Jasper pinched and pulled my nipples, manipulating them into hard points. His hands didn't stay there for long, his fingers tickled down my stomach and traced circles around my navel before they reached the one place I really wanted them. While his hands held me to him and he pumped roughly in and out of me, his thumb pressed down on my clit and rubbed small circles.

That was all it took. I threw my head forward and pressed my teeth into Jasper's shoulder to stifle my scream. His fingers tightened on my hips, he held me closer and continued to drive me wild. He came just after me, groaning his pleasure into my neck.

We stayed like that for a few minutes catching our breaths and just touching each other.

"Well," Jasper looked up at me through the few pieces of hair that had fallen in front of his eyes, "Maybe I should stay away more if that's the greeting I'm gonna get." He pulled his jeans up and winked at me.

I pulled my top on and straightened out my clothes, "No," I threw his top at him, "Now that you're here I'm never gonna let you go again."

"Is that right?"

"MmHmm," I walked over to him and stretched up to place my lips to his. "You have to stay with me."

"Ok," Jasper nodded and leant his head down to kiss me back. This kiss was slow and gentle and full of loving caresses. It was nothing like our previous rough kisses, but I revelled in it. "I will stay."

"You will?" I broke away from his kiss and beamed up at him.

"Yes, I'll stay with you, I'm not going anywhere," Jasper laughed at me. "Someone needs to keep an eye on you."

"I love you!" I threw my arms around Jaspers neck and pressed tiny kisses all over his face, "I love you!"

"I love you too baby," Jasper pulled my lips away from his cheek and crushed his lips to mine.

"Let's get outta here," I spoke around Jasper's lips.

"Whatever you say darlin'" Jasper spoke with a devilish smile that made my panties wet all over again. I grabbed Jasper's hand and pulled him out of the bathroom behind me.

"Damn, B," Jazz spoke from behind me, "I have really missed this sight!"

I laughed and wiggled my butt at him, behind me Jasper growled. Jasper jumped forward and smacked my ass before dodging away from my return hit. He ran backwards down the hall and I chased after him. When I reached him Jasper turned around and I jumped onto his back; Jasper's arms curled around my thighs and I clamped my teeth down on his earlobe. Jazz bucked and I squealed my laughter when he spun around in a circle. I pressed a kiss to his neck when he let me down and ran my hands slowly down his back, feeling the strong muscles that were there just below the thin material of his shirt.

Jasper pulled my back against his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist, I twisted my fingers in his and as we shuffled slowly along the corridor Jasper nuzzled my neck. In this moment I was happier than I had been in a while. With Jasper here with me I forgot about everything else; I forgot about Edward and the dancing butterflies that came with his presence. With Jasper's burning hot fire here the butterflies didn't matter.

"Edward?" He was leaning back against his bedroom door, his hair was messed, his shirt was open and hanging awkwardly from his shoulders and his fly was open. Yes, my eyes were drawn to his fly. His eyes snapped open and met mine, a frown creased his brow and I frowned at him.

My worries about Edward were once again wiped away when Jasper bent his lips to my ear, "Charlie's away tonight isn't he?" Jasper whispered into my ear, I nodded.

My eyes flicked back to Edward, he was frowning over at me and Jasper. The butterflies warred with the fire. Edward and Jasper. I leant back against Jasper's chest and looked over to Edward.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm great. Really fucking fantastic." Edward smiled sarcastically at me and kept his eyes locked on mine while he zipped up his jeans. I felt my eyes narrow when I thought of the little slut that must have been sucking on his cock. If I found out who it was I'd fuck her up.

"What d'you say we take this back to your house, darlin'. There is a lot more of this body," his hands ran over my stomach and hips, "that I want to see." Jasper caught my attention again. I turned my face to the side and smiled at him, not really sure what he was saying. My head was spinning. Alcohol and weed and Jasper and Edward were all flying around my mind and muddling me; all fighting for dominance and none winning.

"Ok, good," I managed to speak back to Edward while nodding to Jasper. Edward's eyes darted behind me and narrowed further. "This is Jasper, my boyfriend," I twisted my fingers in Jasper's and smiled at Edward. You think they'd be up for a bit of Jazz-Eddie-Bella action?

"Hey man," Jasper kissed my neck before shaking Edward's hand. Flames licked my skin at his touch.

"Yeah, hey." I glared at Edward and his rude greeting. But while I was annoyed at his lack of acceptance of Jasper, I was slightly turned on by his rebel without a care attitude.

"Okay," I could feel Edward's eyes on mine when I looked at Jasper, and Jasper's on me when I looked at Edward. "We're going back to my house now, I guess I'll see you around," I shrugged at Edward. In the back of my mind, hiding behind Jasper's presence, the butterflies were flying around anxiously at the thought of not seeing Edward for a while. I pushed them away and focused on Jasper.

"What a fuckwad," Jasper looked back over his shoulder at Edward. I joined him in looking, unable to resist the chance to see Edward; he was stalking down the hall, shoulders hunched and head down. I stifled the urge to run after him, push him down on the floor and just fuck him senseless.

Instead, I asked, "Edward?" and raised a brow at Jasper.

"Yeah," Jasper turned back. "Dude's got it bad for you."

"I don't think so," I snorted, inside I was jumping up and down like a kid on blue smarties. "He was just getting fucked by someone else."

"Oh, and don't think I didn't notice how you reacted to that."

"How I...?"

"Come on B, you were staring at that door like you wanted to fuck up that bitch inside." Jasper laughed, but I could see the true emotions in his eyes. Fuck.

"Look, let's just enjoy this night, ok? I missed you and I wanna have fun. We can talk tomorrow." Jasper jogged down the first few stairs, then turned to look at me, "Just promise you haven't fucked him."

"No, never!" Unfortunately! I ran down the stairs so I was level with Jasper. I threw my arms around his neck and breathed in his unique smell.

"Ok, good," Jasper placed one hand on the small of my back. "Did you bring the Electra? I could leave the 'stang for Rosie."

"Alice brought me," I shrugged.

"Ok," Jazz nodded. "Well why don't we go talk to Rose, and see what she says? Then you can introduce me to a few more of your new friends."

"Sure, ok," I smiled at Jasper while my insides were screwed up with worry at the look on his face. I did not want to lose Jasper. "Come on," I pulled Jasper down the rest of the stairs by his hand.

Rose was in the kitchen with Alice and Emmett; Emmett's hand was rubbing circles along Rose's thigh. James had joined them now, he sat on the counter next to Rose and while he was talking to her he was staring at Alice.

"Bella!" Alice beamed at me and ran over with her arms wide and her hair bouncing around her head. She stopped short when she saw Jazz behind me.

"Belly!" Emmett called from the counter and I waved over at him.

"B," James nodded at me and gave me a knowing smile, "and Jasper I suppose?"

"Yep," I beamed at all of them. "This is Jazz, my boyfriend." I wrapped my hands around his bicep and kissed his cheek.

"Hey y'all, pleasure to meet you," Jazz tipped his head and saluted them.

"Oh, wow," Alice swooned and turned away from us blushing.

"So you two all caught up and reacquainted?" Rose kicked her legs and looked over at her.

"Almost," I smiled at her. Her return smile did not meet her eyes.

"You gonna be ok if we take off in the mustang?" Jasper turned on his Big Brother mode.

"Er, yeah I'll be fine," Rose flung her arm over Emmett's shoulder. "I can crash here right, Alice?"

"Sure Rose! Of course! It'll be like a slumber party!" Alice clapped her hands.

Rose rolled her eyes and I bit my tongue to stop my laughter. I wished I had warned her about Alice's less than normal tendencies.

"Uh, Yeah," Rose smiled sarcastically. "Except we're not seven, we'll be shooting tequila instead of eating disgusting sticky smores and I don't know about you, but I will not be wearing Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle pajamas." Emmett, James and Jasper burst into fits of laughter, Alice pouted and I frowned at the look Rosie was giving me. "I just need to talk to my BFF for a minute, then you two can go get your freak on."

Rose hopped off of the counter and grabbed my hand, "Let's go out the back." She patted Jazz's shoulder when she stormed past with me jogging behind her.

"So?" Rose turned to me when she had closed the door.

"So what?" I raised an eyebrow at her and followed her over to the chairs on the lawn.

"So you and Edward?" She looked at me sideways before taking a long deep drink from the bottle she took on the way out.

"What about me and Edward?" I played dumb and took the bottle Rosie held out to me.

"Don't fucking play dumb with me, B. I know you, and I can see you like him."

"Sure, he's fun. You don't get much of that around here," I shrugged.

"Fuck Bella!" Rose stood up and moved to face me, "It's more than that and you know it! Fuck! You were all over him when we first walked in, Jasper saw, I saw, the whole party saw!" I shook my head, Rose continued. "I know you have this whole Rebel thing going, you think you can do whatever you want and I fucking love that about you Bells, you're my Best Bitch Forever, you know that. But I'm warning you; if you hurt Jasper, that's it. I won't be able to get your back anymore. He's my brother and I'd have to stay with him." I nodded and felt tears prickle my eyes. I pushed them back and crossed my arms over my chest, my inner walls beginning to rebuild.

"Don't you dare do that!" Rose pointed at me, "Don't you put your fucking boundaries up to me! I'm not saying this to hurt you, I'm saying this because I love you and I don't wanna have come all this way to not be able to talk to you! Come here," Rose reached for my hand and pulled me up, I let the bottle fall to the floor. "I love you B; I'm just asking you to be careful, ok babe," Rosie pulled me into her arms and I held onto her tightly.

"I will," I nodded against her neck, "I love you, and I love Jasper; you are my family!"

"I trust you, honey," Rosie kissed my cheek and I held her tighter.

"I missed you so much Rosie!"

"I missed you too, baby. I don't think I can go back to the desert without you! I'm gonna stay!" Rose leaned back and stuck her chin out in defiance.

"No, don't! Stay here, with me!" Rose laughed and pulled me into another bone-crushing hug and nodding against my shoulder. "We should get back in."

"Sure, right. Dump me for my dumb-ass loser brother," Rose swatted my butt when I pulled her along behind me.

"Like you care?" I winked back at her. "You've got Emmy wrapped around your little finger already, you're gonna be fine!"

"I'll be more than fine! And so will Emmett!" Rose laughed and I squealed at her.

"You look smoking tonight, Emmett didn't have a chance!"

"He's a lucky man," Rose leaned across me to pull the door open.

"You better make sure he knows that," I wrapped my arm around her waist and she hooked her arm around my neck.

"Oh, he will." Rose's fingers traced the straps on my top.

"You all finished with my girl?" Jasper had a spliff in his hand and a carefree look on his face. His hair was brushed back from his face and he was leaning casually back against the fridge; Alice was hanging on his every word. I'd have to have a talk to her about that.

"Yeah, she's all yours, for now. Tomorrow Alice and I are taking her shopping."

"Well, ok then, but I'm not sure she's gonna be good company," Jazz held his hand out to me and I ran over to him. He held his bottle out to me and I took a small drink before handing it back, "I'm going to have her quite busy tonight." James and Emmett whooped at Jasper; Emmett leant across a blushing Alice to bump his beer bottle against Jasper's.

"You sure you're going to be okay?" Jasper asked Rose.

"I'll take good care of her, man," Emmett spoke to Jasper but winked at Rose, who in turn, winked at me.

"Ok, thanks an," Rosie cleared her throat and glared at her brother, "I know, I know, you can look after yourself," Jazz rolled his eyes, "I just wanna know there is someone here with you."

"She'll be fine, baby," I smiled over at Rose and pulled on Jasper's hand, eager to get out of here and on with the night he had planned.

"Someone's eager." Emmett laughed behind us.

"I can never get enough of my man!" I shouted back over my shoulder and Jasper squeezed my ass for their benefit. We left the house to shouts, squeals and wolf-whistles.

On the way around to the passenger side of Jasper's car my impatience grew out of control. I couldn't wait any longer; I pushed Jasper down onto the bonnet of his car, pushed his knees apart and leant into him. I kissed his face; hundreds of tiny baby kisses over his cheeks and chin, purposefully missing the one place we both needed it. Ignoring his lips, I moved down over his chin and onto his neck, my kisses got bigger and wetter. My tongue and teeth ran over the skin of his neck, pressing down and sucking his delicious skin into my mouth. Jasper moaned and wound his fingers into my hair holding my mouth to his skin. While my fingers worked on the first few buttons of his shirt and pulled it apart, my tongue traced his collarbone. My teeth scratched over his chest, my tongue swirling over the skin and tasting him. I pulled his nipple into my mouth and flicked my tongue over the peak before continuing on my journey south. My tongue played with his happy trail while my hands fumbled with his belt; my fingers stroking him through the denim.

"Bella," Jasper moaned and pulled my head back, "baby, you know how much I fucking love a public display, I like people to hear your screams," I moaned and rubbed my thighs together, desperate for the friction, "But right now, I don't think here is the best place for that." Jasper buckled his jeans again but left his shirt open. "Now, let me get you home so I can give you the fucking you deserve." He stood from the bonnet and moved over to hold the door open. "Get in the car baby."

"Yes sir!" I saluted him and did as I was told, rubbing my thighs together, biting my lip and digging my nails into my palm at the anticipation of the hours to come.
