This is a slightly shorter Chapter than usual but I make no apologies, you will understand when you've read it. How could I stop anywhere else?

Chapter Seventy One

Bella

We watched the truck until it was hidden by a dip in the road, Jasper standing behind me with his arms around my waist. My whole body was aflame and I knew that soon it would be dark and he would share my bed properly for the very first time. I was full of anticipation and apprehension, I had no idea what to expect but I trusted him. He would never hurt me.

"You OK Bella? Your heart is beating so fast"

I turned into his chest

"I'm fine, just excited I guess, after all its not every day I get married to the man of my dreams"

I stood on tiptoes to kiss him and when I finally broke away I was gasping for breath. His eyes had gone a dark red and I saw excitement in them which was mirrored by my own. He took my hand and we walked slowly into the house.

"You hungry? He asked looking at me.

I shook my head,

"Only for you"

He smiled and picked me up, running up the stairs so fast we were in the bedroom before I could blink. He set me down just inside the door and waited.

"Do you want some privacy?"

Jasper

I wanted her so badly my whole body was aching and the throbbing in my groin threatened to explode if it wasn't released soon but I wanted to make sure Bella was ready. When she shook her head shyly and pulled me over to the bed my hand in hers trembled. She sat us down and turned into my chest, kissing my neck and opening the buttons of my shirt slowly one by one. I wanted to rip our clothes off and take her just like that but I could be patient, I'd waited this long for her. Once she'd undone it she pushed my shirt from my shoulders and onto the floor by the bed. I sat waiting for her to make the next move. She nuzzled my neck and the feel of her lips on my skin sent waves of desire straight to my erection which throbbed painfully in the confines of my jeans.

Bella

He was even more beautiful than I imagined and his skin tasted delicious. I ran my tongue over his chest, feeling small ridges under the surface like raised tattoos although I couldn't see anything. Then I swallowed nervously and put his hand on the tiny buttons that ran down the front of my dress. He undid them slowly then took it from me leaving me in only my underwear which Char had brought me specially for today. It was much skimpier and lacy than I would have chosen but I could see from his expression that he approved. When his fingers touched my naked skin they burned a trail all through my body and I felt myself becoming more aroused by the second.

As he undid the clasp on my bra and dropped it to join the growing pile of clothes I coloured but he ran his hands lightly over my breasts before kissing each one and I heard him whisper,

"You are so beautiful my Bella."

Standing up together I undid his jeans and he stepped out of them, naked now, his erection throbbing against my belly as he pulled us together again. Then he stepped back enough to hook his cool fingers into my panties and slid them off. Now we were both naked and I fell back onto the bed pulling him atop me. His erection was digging into my soft stomach, pulsing more urgently now but he took his time. Running his hands then his mouth to explore every inch of my body and making me cry out in delight. His own breathing became more ragged and he lifted himself up to position himself at the entrance of my burning centre then looked into my eyes as if seeking permission.

I grabbed his hips and forced him down gasping at the sharp pain as he entered me fully. He stopped there and I panted with the feeling of him within me, then he started to move very slowly and the waves of desire burst upon me, sending me over the edge where fireworks exploded and my body seemed to melt into his.I opened my eyes to watch as he smiled down on me moving a little faster and making small noises in his throat. His eyes were now black and I saw flashes in them as his instincts tried to take over from his thoughts and he moved more quickly still and harder, gritting his teeth as he tried to retain enough control not to hurt me with a careless move. I cried out as we came together, feeling his body go rigid then shudder with his release as he cried out my name. Then felt a sharp pain at my neck and coming back to reality knew he had bitten me as he orgasmed. Would he continue to slice into my body and drink my blood? Or inject his venom into me and turn me now? A tear slid from under my lid knowing what he would feel when it came to him what he had done to me and I heard a horrified cry that was not mine. "Bella, Bella? NOOO! Then the pain started and I was dragged away from him by the flames.
