Jasper's POV
My beautiful Rose and Emmett raced outside to play their childish games while the rest of us watched.
"She's remarkable." Carlisle said.
"I am so glad she decided to stay. It will be wonderful to have another 'child' in the house." Esme said as she squeezed my hand.
"So bro, is she 'The One' or are you just a sucker for big red eyes and bouncy curls?" Emmett joked.
"Why aren't you out there with her!?" I snarled.
"Easy bro, Rosie and Alice went out to keep her occupied. So, is she or not?" He questioned.
There was no denying that she was my mate; I feel the way Emmett feels for Rosalie, for her, only ten times more. I can see her on the patio, but I want to be sitting near her, inhaling her scent, looking at her beauty, holding her hand...touching her.
"Yep, you got it bad, man. Go get her lover boy!" He yelled: I flipped him off as I stepped onto the patio. Once Alice and Rosalie spotted me, they had sly smiles on their faces.
"Good luck." They both whispered to her.
"Hey darlin', let's go for a run." I hope she's up for it. In the short time she played with Emmett, she managed to rip her shirt and run right out of her shoes!
"I must look like a mess." She said, flashing a shy smile.
"You look beautiful to me, darlin'." I said, flashing her a grin of my own and winking.
"Why do you keep calling me darlin', sweetcheeks?" She said giggling.
Her giggles drove me crazy! If she had animal skin on instead of jeans, she would look like a small Amazon. Height didn't matter to me; hell if she was taller than me I would still want her, as long as I get eternity with this beautiful creature.
"Well dar-Rosalinda, it's an affectionate term us Southerners use." I explained.
"But you've only called me that, I haven't heard you call Rosalie or Alice that, Emmett either for that matter." She laughed and that really drove me crazy! I dropped into a crouch and felt my eyes go black with lust. She must have realized what was happening, because she took off into the forest gigling the whole way.
'We must claim her before she finds another.'
'No, I won't let you influence my decisions with her.'
'She is begging to be claimed, I can smell it! Go after her!'
'I can't, what if she had something bad happen to her? I don't want to ruin this experience by pushing myself on her before she's ready.'
'TRY DAMMIT! We've been alone for fifteen years now. WE NEED IT!'
'I'll start slow and see where we can go with that. Just shut the hell up now, Major.'
Halfway through my inner monologue and running through the forest, I lost sight of her.
"Come out, come out wherever you are." I sang.
Her giggling caught my attention; she was somewhere in the trees. She was learning very fast. When I reached the tree I thought she was in, she was gone. I heard leaves rustling and I spun around. She launched herself from the tree and wrapped her legs around my waist.
"Tag, you're it Cowboy," she said winking. She placed a kiss on my throat and took off again.
"You little tease," I growled as I took off after her. She made it easy, well she thought it was hard before. Ha, yeah right. She was sprawled out on the forest floor, sparkling so brightly in the sunshine, looking like an angel.
"Well, well, well darlin'. It seems that I've won." I said seductively. She didn't even open her eyes, just smiled that sexy grin of hers.
"I was wondering when you would get here, sweetcheeks. I thought I would sunbathe til you got here," she laughed. I stalked over to where she was laying, blocking out her sunshine.
"That's not nice," she pouted, pulling her knees to her chest. I sat in front of her, pulling her as close to me as I could.
"I love you, Rosalinda. I will love you forever, until the end of my exsistence." She looked surprised and it almost looked as if she was going to cry.
'You idiot, I didn't say confess your undying love to her! I said CLAIM her. You probably scared her off, dumbass!
'I didn't know what to do! I just said what was on my mind, Major.'
Instead of crying, she looked into my eyes and smiled softly. "I love you too, Jasper. I feel safe with you around. It hurts when you're not here with me. Don't leave me, ever. This sounds so crazy, we only just met hours ago and yet, here we are, confessing our love to each other. I'll be your Darlin forever if you'll be my Cowboy for just as long." She whispered the last part and I felt her embarrassment.
My POV
"Why do you feel embarrassed, darlin?" My Jasper asked. Hmm, my Jasper...I like the sound of that.
"It feels weird to say 'I love you' out loud. I don't think I said it that much as a human," I admitted.
"Darlin' you don't have to say you love me, I can feel it all around us. You might not have realized it, but you have loved me since you first spotted me in the yard. I've been feeling love for you since you were born. We're made for each other, two parts of one whole, like perfect fitting puzzle pieces, babydoll. We're what they call-"
"Soulmates," I whispered. His hand went under my chin and brought our faces inches apart.
"Yesss," he breathed against my mouth. His breath triggered something in my brain, because he was lying on the grounf underneath me in the next five seconds.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were trying to seduce me Jasper," I whispered sensually into his ear. I kissed under his ear, making my way down his strong jawline and stopping right next to his mouth. His eyes shot open, once gold now black...hungry with lust. He flipped me onto my back, slowly kissing his way from my cheek to my throat and back up, stopping to stare into my own black eyes.
"I want you," he started, "and I can smell how much you want me." He licked his lips as his hands discovered every curve of my body, stopping to wrap my legs around his waist and pull me up his body. His mouth came to mine slowly and my hands were in his hair, forcing the kiss to deepen. As he backed us into a tree, he began to rock his hips back and forth causing me to moan in ecstasy. I ripped his shirt from his body and started to trace over all the crescent shaped scars he had.
He stopped moving and dropped his head, "they're hideous, I know."
I didn't think they were hideous, they were..."Beautiful," I breathed.
He laughed dryly, "How can these things, these disgusting marks be beautiful? Why aren't you cringing or running away from me?"
That was a good question..."well they're on you, to me they make you look like a fierce warrior. They enhance your beauty, how could I not love something that's on you?" I said as I kissed every single scar on his torso. "You look really sexy when you're all sulky...it ruined the moment, but you're still really hot," I laughed. His face softened as he gently sat us down on the ground and he layed back in the grass. I sat there next to him, watching him and admiring the view.
"See something you like?" He asked, smirking.
"Hmm. No, not really." I said, pretending to be disappointed. He growled and tried to pin me under him, but I shot up, blew him a kiss and ran back to the house.
"Done already?" Emmett asked.
"Bite me." I shot back, walking into the house.
"Another time, Linny Boo!" He called after me; I just laughed and kept walking. Before anyone else could say anything, I darted up to my room. As I opened the door, I smelled a familiar scent...leather and cinnamon?
"Did you think you were faster than me, Darlin?" Jasper cooed. My mouth practically dropped to the ground and he started chuckling.
"What's so funny, sweetcheeks?" I pouted.
"For starters, the look you just had on your face, and the fact that you thought you were faster than I am." He stated, matter of factly.
"Well excuse me for thinking I was a bit fast," I said with my lip out. I sauntered over to the huge closet, making sure to flip my hair in his face as I went. Before I even got to the closet, he pulled me onto his lap. He deeply inhaled the scent of my hair, then laid his head on my chest.
"I love you," he whispered.
I pulled us further onto the bed and layed on his chest, whispering "I'll love you forever" to his heart. We stayed like that for hours, only ever moving when I would look into his eyes as he told me his life story. He told me of Maria, the evil bitch who Turned him, and my anger grew more and more each time. The awful things she made him do...I just wanted to hold him there forever and tell him everything was better now because I was there to protect him. It was even worse when he told me how she would torture him. I desperately wanted to find her and do worse things to her than she did to my Jasper, make her beg me for death. The only part that gave me hope was when he told me about how Peter and Charlotte came back for him.
"Can I meet them?" I whispered.
"Pete and Char? I don't know...we didn't exactly part on the best of terms. I haven't spoke to them in years and the family doesn't really care for them either." He said embarrassed.
"JASPER WHITLOCK! What is wrong with you? The man was your second in command and best friend, practically your brother! You haven't spoken to them in God knows how long, and you're missing them. You need to call them and try to work out your problems, mend the relationship you once had. I want to meet them before we start school, if that's okay with you and if they'll have us." I said, still feeling angry. I liked calling him by his birth name, it gave me butterflies in my stomach.
As if reading my mind, "Mmmm, I love the way you say my name." He whispers hungrily into my ear.
"Don't try to distract me anymore, I need to shower, AGAIN and you need to call Peter." I ordered.
"Yes ma'am." He said as I went into the bathroom.
As I was undressing, I could feel someone watching me. I spun around to see my Jasper standing in the doorway, eyes as black as the abyss, watching me in fascination. I continued to undress, only now I was facing him. I was still amazed by this body, so I took my time staring at myself in the full-length mirror to the right of me. Admiring my newly found curves, I touched each one, causing him to move closer each time I did. Finally he was behind me, touching each place I had, taking his time to place a kiss on each spot. He made his way back up to my shoulder and laid his head there.
"My beautiful mate." He said, kissing my neck.
"Jasper, I don't think I'm ready...I don't want to hurt you." I admitted
"That won't happen, I won't let it. We'll go as slow as you want. I can wait; I've waited one hundred and forty one years to find you, I will wait one hundred and forty one more years if it takes that long." He said soothingly.
When I was finished with my shower, Jasper was sitting on the bed waiting patiently for me.
Jasper's POV
She walked out of the bathroom dripping wet. She looked so appetizing, all I had to do was rip her towel off and I could have her right there. Just thinking about sex with her made me hard, and remembering her naked body just sent me over edge. I could've had her right there in the bathroom, but she was scared. And I'm not the type of man to force myself on a woman...not anymore. In time, I will claim that beautiful exotic woman as my own. She cleared her throat to get my attention, but her outfit got it. When did she put clothes on? I wasn't complaining though, she had on yoga pants that clung to her bottom half like a second skin, and a tank top that hugged her chest in all the right places. Her hair cascaded in wet curls down her back and framed her face perfectly.
"What's wrong? Are my clothes too tight? Is there something on my face?" She asked worried.
"Wha-What? Oh no darlin'. I'm just appreciating the view from here." I said winking at her. She smiled shyly and made her way to the bed, to sit in my lap.
"You must like what you see." She purred seductively.
That set me off; in five seconds I shifted her off my lap and onto the bed, legs spread wide open. I fit myself comfortably between them and hovered over her, kissing every inch of her body that I could. Her arousal smelled so appetizing, I put my hand down her pants and slipped a finger inside. She was so wet for me! She moaned in protest as I pulled my handback out, licking and sucking 'til it was dry as a bone! She flipped us over so she was on top and straddled my hips. Rocking back and forth, she began to take her shirt off but I stopped her.
"Are you sure you're ready, Darlin'?" I regretted asking, but only ten minutes before, I told her we could wait.
"I wanted to, but I saw so much lust in the room...I tried to stop...it wrapped around me and I couldn't stop." She confessed.
"Sorry," I said sheepishly, "I must've been projecting." She shrugged and went back into the bathroom.
"Wait!" I called. She spun around on her heels.
"Yeah, sweetcheeks?" She asked sweetly.
"You said that you saw so much lust in the room and it wrapped around you, but you couldn't stop it? What do you mean you saw it?" I asked urgently.
She looked around the room nervously, "I'm not sure...I don't understand it and I can't explain it. I'm sorry.
I stood in her room for five minutes, dumbfounded. When I recovered, I went to speak with Carlisle.
So here's Chapter Five! Sorry it took so long to update :( I work full time and don't get much sleep anymore, but I do what I can! I've started working on Chapter Six as we speak. It should be up in a few weeks :)
