Chapter Forty Six

Jasper

It was unanimously decided that we would take no action until Darius sister was safely with us so while Garrett, Peter, and Darius, went hunting together in the nearby city and Rose and Emmett went off with Charlotte to see the best hunting area Bella and I took advantage of the peace for a little down time. I was still really weak but I didn't want to hunt, just rest with my mate close to me. We went upstairs to the room Charlotte had always kept ready for me, even when Peter and I weren't speaking or so it seemed, because nothing had changed and my spare clothes still hung in the closet which was great because the ones I was wearing were the same ones the Volturi had stripped from me when I was dismembered and buried. The very thought of it was enough to make me shudder even now and Bella noticed. She pulled me down to sit beside her on the bed and sitting this close to her I felt so much better. All my pains were slowly drifting away and I felt a sense of peace and of being at home.

As I thought about this Bella lay her head on my shoulder and I slipped my arm around her as if it belonged there. She sighed and turned to touch her lips to my throat and the place they touched blazed fiercely. I gasped slightly so she raised her head to look at me.

"Are you in pain?"

"Only the best kind Bella."

Her smile showed she understood what that kiss had done and she wound her arms around me pulling my face close to hers until our lips met and we kissed. I could feel her hunger and love for me in that kiss and I returned it equally as hungrily. Sliding down we lay together on the bed and I found myself below her, her hands fumbling with the buttons on my shirt. I wanted to stop her before she realised just how weak I really was but I couldn't make myself do it. She felt the tension in my body and hesitated,

"Do you want me to stop?"

"No, it's just, I'm not sure my body is up to this just yet Bella and I really don't want to make a fool of myself"

"You could never do that, not in my eyes, and if nothing happens then I can wait. We have all the time in the world now, don't we?"

She smiled and leaned over to kiss me,

"Do you trust me?"

I nodded,

"Then relax"

I lay back down and tried to relax, hard as that was turning out to be.

Bella

I continued undoing the buttons then pulled the shirt out of his pants and opened it. As my fingers touched his pale skin I felt his muscles tense. I could see the scarring and feel it as ridges under my fingertips. The strange thing was that I was far more interested in the sensations washing over me as I touched his naked skin.

"You feel beautiful."

I lowered my head once more and touched his chest with my lips at which point he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close so my hair fanned out across the surface of his skin.

"God that feels good but Bella..."

I stopped his words with a kiss and he closed his eyes again but I knew his skin was super sensitive and I smiled as it shuddered beneath my touch.

Jasper

This girl was driving me crazy and despite my weakness I felt myself stiffen and knew that I was barely in control of my emotions or actions. Bella's craving for me and her love were not helping matters and as her lips touched my bare flesh once more I felt my control slip away. Whatever happened happened but I had to try, I needed her so badly. I twisted so I was now kneeling above her, my thighs on either side of her waist as I hurriedly undid the buttons on her own shirt and pulled it away with one hand. Her skin was so soft and warm as I traced her ribcage with my fingers trying desperately to calm myself but losing the battle a little more with every rise and fall of her breasts.

Bella

I watched as Jasper's eyes darkened and knew it was desire causing the change As his cool fingers touched my skin I shuddered and gasped but then his lips were on mine as his hand ripped away my bra and caressed my breasts. His lips broke free of mine and trailed butterfly kisses down my throat and across each breast as he tried with difficulty to undo my jeans with only one hand. Deciding I needed him as much as he obviously needed me I helped him, wriggling out of them to lay naked before his gaze.

"I think you have an unfair advantage Jasper Hale"

He smiled and groaned again as my fingers brushed his belly as I removed his own jeans revealing just how much he was aroused. I pulled him down to lie on top of me so I could kiss him again and enjoy the feel of his arousal beating against my belly as I squirmed my body to make it easy for him to enter me. There was little pain, I was too wet and ready for him and then suddenly he was there, deep inside me and the sensations came so thick and fast they took my breath away and had my whole body aflame with desire. He gasped my name holding himself away so he could look at me but the need for blood and weakness from his terrible ordeal was taking its toll on his performance and I pulled him down taking his weight on my body,

"It's OK Jasper, we've got all the time in the world, I love you."

We lay together enjoying the peace and feeling of satisfaction until his thirst became intolerable then we showered together quickly and dressed. I watched in the mirror as he pulled on fresh clothes hating that his wonderful body was hidden again but he felt my emotions because he turned to me smiling with a look of mischief on his face,

"Don't worry, I intend to repeat this as often as I can but if I don't hunt I won't have the energy to raise a smile let alone anything else."

"You know if, well when, I ever tried to imagine what the first time would be like I never imagined this in my wildest dreams. It was so wonderful I still feel as if I'm floating"

His grin got bigger,

"Well Ma'am I can assure you that when 'I'm completely healed it will be even better."

I threw a pillow at him and of course he caught it and threw it back. We could have stayed like this, in a state of excitement and euphoria for hours but we both felt the thirst and knew we needed to hunt so we went out together to hunt as a couple for the first time and that too was more wonderful than I could have imagined. As a hunter he was both magnificent and sexy and of course one thing led to another and this time his body was ready so we were the last back, just in time to see Darius sister arrive.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my stories and review them. It may not seem like it but I read every one and they spur me on to keep writing. I'll be back to normal, or as normal as I ever get, on Wednesday. Again, thank you. Jules x
