Chapter 10

Two weeks had went by since we confessed our feelings for each other, It passed in bliss. The physical aspect of our relationship hadn't progressed beyond hand holding, hugging, and kissing. Our tongues had never come out into play so it was relatively chaste in comparison to most relationships that had reached our level of emotion.

I was okay with it mostly. Jasper didn't pull away or anything. We just felt no need to rush things. On the island their was no limit on our time, so we could be perfectly at ease. Anxiousness to see each other was non existent because we were always together.

At this moment in time, Jasper and I were playing checkers. He had carved the checker board and pieces out of a leftover tree from when he had built the cabin. He was getting really good at carving stuff out of wood.

I was losing worse then usual today. His eyes had turned cornflower blue just four days ago. No hint of gold was left. The blue color suited him, it also distracted me easier.

He smirked at me when he beat me for the fifth time today. The blond was pleased with my obvious attraction to him. Jasper liked showing off, for my benefit of course.

Often times Jasper stayed in his swimming trunks after hunting for an hour or two. He loved the attention I gave him. I couldn't stop myself from touching him. My hands had traced all the scars my eyes could see.

We had to separate from each other for awhile afterwards. It was too tempting to further our physical relations and we didn't want to go to fast. Jasper insisted we try to stay slow, like we were in the outside world.

"Should I cover my beautiful blue eyes?" Jasper drawled in a teasing voice.

My face heated up in a blush. Did I really have to tell him that? My mind hissed at me.

"Shut up." I muttered into my hands.

He laughed. His hands took mine and lowered them down to rest on the dinner table. He leaned over and gave me a kiss that lasted for a minute. It was our agreed prize for winning today. This way, no matter what we both always won.

Today had been about relaxing. For the last few days we had hiked through the forest. I loved that Jasper was up for it. He had went at a human pace for me.

The next few hours were spent playing games and flirting. Right after sunset we separated to eat. He had to go hunting. Jasper hadn't hunted since his eyes had turned completely blue.

Before he went he started a fire for me to sit by while I ate. This nights dinner was all about the fruit. I had never felt so healthy before now.

The sound of breaking branches reached my ears. When I looked up I was pinned in place immediately.

Glowing eyes looked at me from the tree line. My heart sped up in fear. Paralyzed on the outside all I could do was stare at the huge panther.

It was snarling at me. Feral eyes glared at me, screaming the beasts intention to kill me. The cat stepped out of the forest, limbs rolling gracefully in predatory fashion.

It was growling and crouched for the kill when I heard him. My body unfroze and my head snapped towards him.

Jasper had slipped into a hunting crouch also. His growl was by far more menacing than the panther wanting to eat me. I wasn't afraid of him. My blond vampire looked completely focused on the hungry animal.

Fast as lightning the two growling beings lunged. The panther was intercepted before it could kill me. Loud cracking sounds accompanied Jasper's fierce tackle.

My mind was absorbing everything in a crystal clear picture. Jasper's arm reared back and then punched forward at the misfortunate creature. The snapping of it's neck caused the panther's instant death.

In a heartbeat, Jasper was standing. The look on his face thunderous in it's intensity. He was making quick strides towards me. His gait was just as graceful and just as predatory as the now dead cat.

His muscles gleamed from a combination of the water he had not minutes ago been in and the light from the large fire. My attraction to him was stronger than anything I had felt before.

When he was only a foot from me he grabbed me around my hips. He pulled me right into his body and crashed his lips down onto mine. The kiss was unlike any other I had experienced before. For one his tongue was now battling with mine. Another was that my whole body was molded to his.

Jasper's touches were frantic, like he was searching for an injury. His cool smooth hands were running over anywhere he could touch. I was not stopping him for any reason.

Those hands traced my arms, my back, and my entire torso. Noises were being ripped out of both of us. We were animalized by our desire. Never before had I felt something this amazing.

Adrenaline was still coursing through my body like wildfire. My body felt superhumanly strong as I dug my hands into Jasper's wavy blond hair. I was trying to drag him closer which was really impossible since our bodies were already pressed as tightly to each other as they could be.

My fingertips were massaging his scalp. His body relaxed and made it so we could somehow fit closer. Our heavy breathing was pushing our chests together repeatedly.

We calmed down and stopped thirty minutes later. Jasper was still holding me against his body, running his hands in an up an down motion on my back. The crazy energy I had felt had faded five minutes ago. Jasper was actually holding me up.

He wasted no more time and brought me to lay down on our bed. He was worried and more than a little scared.

"I could have lost you." He said eyes shining like he was on the verge of tears. His voice had a ruff quality to it, similar to how someone sounded when losing one's voice.

"You saved me."

It was as simple as that to me. Jasper would never let me get hurt or worse, killed. He protected me from even himself by hunting far more often than a normal vampire. He laid down behind me and shifted the blanket over both of us then hugged me to him.

"I will always save you." He took a deep breath. "I will always love you."
