Chapter 13

I didn't think it was possible to be any happier than I was at this time. Jasper said he loved me in a forever kind of way. Did that mean he wasn't against changing me? I wanted to ask him, but I doubt he was ready to change me himself even with his newly improved control.

Honestly, I wasn't worried about being changed immediately. With Edward I was, but he was so physically young that it would look odd if I was more than a year older than him. His face was still so boyish. I have two more years until I was twenty.

The Cullen's would eventually find us. So, maybe Carlisle could change me. I contemplated. "What are you thinking about so intensely?" Jasper purred into my ear. I almost jumped out of my skin, he had appeared at my side so quickly.

"Nothing, just some random thoughts." I said trying to kept my tone even, with the hopes that he wouldn't question me any further. Luckily he didn't.

Jasper never pushed me to tell him things. He was content to just wait for me to tell him on my own. This was one of the many things I loved about him. "So, what are we doing today?" I asked, pushing the thoughts of eternity with Jasper out of my mind.

"Why don't we walk around the island?" the blond suggested. It was a great idea. "Maybe we could even find more things that have been washed ashore." He finished. That was exactly what I had been thinking. "You're brilliant." I whispered before giving him an enthusiastic kiss.

We spent the next hour getting ready to go. Packing what I would need in a backpack made from unwearable clothes. We started around the island after securing our home. Jasper and I were more aware about the danger of animals to our life now. They had the potential to destroy the home that they had worked so hard to make here.

The weather was nice, cooler than normal. Clouds enveloped the sun partially. The coverage was enough that Jasper didn't sparkle. Today was the first day that he hadn't literally shined. It was almost odd to see him without his diamond skin.

His swirling patchwork of scars were hidden from my human eyes. A shame really as I loved to trace them with my fingers. Sometimes I fantasized about using my mouth instead. Jasper clearly knew what I was thinking about as he gave me a knowing and heated look.

Jasper had told me that he was happy that I didn't hate his scars. The glowing expression on his face when he told me was beyond normal happiness. That look always warmed me more than the sun.

The wind started picking up as it became mid-afternoon. We turned back around to head back to the cabin. Water poured down from the sky. Bathing everything it touched.

I stumbled through the storm for only a minute before Jasper decided to carry me. Advantage, he was running. Disadvantage, his skin for once was truly freezing me.

I don't know how far he ran before he stopped and veered off into the forest. My vampire was worried with panic clear in the way he moved. The clothes I was wearing were stiffening where they came into contact with Jasper.

We burst into a clearing filled with large rocks. A small cave resided there. The scene looked vaguely familiar. I had probably seen it while exploring the island.

Inside the cave was dry and barren of all other life forms. Jasper gently set me down, our clothes clinging to each other for a second before being torn apart. The supply bag was also on the ground now. Shock jumped into me when Jasper started stripping off his wet clothes, laying them down flat on the cave floor.

"You need to take off your clothes." Jasper stated firmly, whilst only standing in a pair of boxers. I certainly wasn't so cold now. My blood racing through my veins at lightning speeds. I had a feeling that those words would be repeated in my dreams. Frequently.

I followed his words automatically, heart pounding madly in my chest. This was different than swimming in our bathing suits. This was serious although purely for survival reasons.

His dark blue eyes bored into me. He was unsuccessfully trying to be a gentleman by looking at my face or staring upwards at the ceiling. Jasper's gaze unwillingly followed me as I laid my clothing next to his. It gave me a heady rush of power to capture his attention so strongly.

He shook himself out of his stupor and stumbled a few steps towards the mouth of the cave. " I'm going to get some wood." The blond vampire blurted out. His eyes widened at the same time mine did. "Fire wood." He stuttered out before running away. This day was certainly going to be burned into my memory forever.
