As always Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer and I own nothing 3
Bella POV
I woke up the next morning deliciously sore after the bath we washed and Jasper laid me in bed and showed me how much he loved me until we were both exhausted. Worth the wait sounds very cliche but i am so happy that I waited to give my virginity to the man that I am married too. Jasper is laying on his back his arm thrown over his eyes and he is snoring away. I smile at him even though he is asleep I love him and I can't wait for him to wake up. I scoot closer and put my head on his chest "mmmm that is a sight to wake up too." He puts his arm around me his hand on the small of my back, rubbing back and forth.
"I need to get ready to go to Esme's so that we can get ready for the gala. I will see you when I get home." I lean up to kiss him and he kisses me back and rolls me over to my back.
"Would you like to have a date to this gala tonight?" He asked me kissing across my jaw.
"Yes, I would love for you to come tonight." I say pecking his lips and rolling out form under him and standing. "I am wearing slate grey just so you know and red pumps." I kiss him one last time and sprint to the bathroom.
Esme, Rose and I spent the day waisting away in luxury chairs. After being scrubbed, buffed and waxed to perfection. My hair had golden highlights and was curled into beautiful layers. My makeup was light and simple except the bright red lipstick. Rose made sure to tell me how much my husband would love it. Of course I blushed and her and Esme laughed. Sliding the dress on over my corset and slip. It is a beautiful floor length long sleeve gown with beading across the bodice to the neck. Smiling as I see how high the slit hits Jasper is going to lose his mind when he see's me in this.
Carlisle and Edward are waiting for their wives at the bottom of the staircase, it is all very romantic walking behind the two beautiful women I am envious of them both. Their husbands stood at the bottom of the stairs in their tuxes looking up at their wives with pure adoration. I got to the bottom of the stairs as the door flew open. My husband in his tux and slate grey bow tie stood in the door looking dashing and he was all mine.
"Well hello there husband." I say to Jasper as I get the bottom of the stairs and he wraps his arms around my middle and pulls me against him burying his face in my neck.
"You look amazing darlin' I cant wait to peel you out of this beautiful dress when we get home." Jasper's voice was deep and sexual my nipples pebbled just from his words I knew tonight would be amazing.
We all got in separate cars to go to the gala since we would all being going our separate ways at the end of the night. Jasper sat next to me working on his phone and I leaned against him. He looked away from his phone down at me and smiled. It made my heart ache the look he had on his face was the look that my papa had looking at my mama and even now when he talked about her.
"I love you Jasper." I blurted out in the silence of the car and he chuckled.
"I love you too Isabella more than I could have ever imagined loving someone else." Jasper said never pulling his eyes from mine and reaching up to cup my cheek. I tilted my head into his palm his hand warm and gentle. Smiling had never came easy to me I had what was called a resting bitch face and with Jasper my cheeks hurt so much from all the smiling when I was with him.
No more words needed to be spoken we had this life these beautiful moments together. I needed to call papa and thank him for this gift he gave me Jasper, he gave us this opportunity to live and love. Pulling up infant of the Copernicus Center which was a beautiful building the red carpet was rolled out and I watched Carlisle and Esme were on the carpet already and the car in front of us was stopped and Edward was exiting.
"Are you ready sweetheart?" Jasper said looking down at me. I nodded because this was our fist public outing since the shooting and I was shaking in my preverbal boots. Jasper exited the car as soon as the door was open his graceful movements made me blush as I thought of his body moving over me naked. When he had his jacket button Jasper turned to me and held out his hand, which I took and slid out of the car. Wrapping my arm in his he escorted me down the red carpet to flashes from cameras and calls from reporters we stopped and smiled for photos and answered no questions. I knew that my wedding ring made a statement because my husband did nothing on a small scale. He wanted the world to know that I was his wife and so he left no doubt in anyones mind. The huge rock was just the beginning of his statement. We made it inside and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Jasper worked the room talking business associates and socialites, I held his hand and drank champagne, I smiled when I needed to and said thank you when we were congratulated on our nuptials.
"You look bored and a little drunk darlin'. Would you like to find our table?" Jasper leaned down asking in a quiet voice.
"Whenever you are done, I am not bored as your wife this is why I am here is to show face if I was here alone Esme would be parading me around the room like a show pony. Also I am not quite drunk … Just a little warm." I say to him in an equally quiet voice.
"Well look who is back from the dead." Booms a voice breaking Japser and I's quiet I saw none other than Santiago Moretti, I had met him once in my life papa had called him a "friend". He was a large man, bigger than Max, at least 6'5" and 280 lbs he was a brick house. Seeing Gianna on his arm made me very uneasy I was sure that this was not a coincidence.
"Hello Santiago I am very much alive no matter who wishes that I was in the ground." Jasper said very snidely and shook Santiago's hand.
"Well whomever did try did not succeed. This must be your beautiful fiancé." He said looking at me his stare made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
"She is my wife we married while I was healing up. I couldn't wait any longer to marry her." He pulled my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles.
"Oh well congratulations are in order then she is beautiful I wouldn't have waited either." Santiago said with a blatantly sexual tone to his voice.
Jasper smiled at him and without missing a step and said." Well then I guess you will be marrying Gianna here soon I take it. I don't see her father allowing her to run around with you and then try to marry her off. So congratulations to y'all as well. Isabella and I must go find our seats dinner is about to begin." We didn't wait to hear a retort Jasper turned on his heel and lead me to our table.
We sat through 3 courses and 3 glasses of wine before I had to give into needing a bathroom break. "Please excuse me." I said standing as did all the men at the table Jasper kissed my cheek and I grabbed my clutch off the table as I pushed in my chair. Pushing the bathroom door open and walking in nodding to the attendant were a chore I shouldn't have drank so much or waited so I was standing at the sink after I used the bathroom washing my hands and touching up my make up I watched as Gianna and her sister Jane. I sighed knowing that the claws were about to come out.
"Hello Isabella I have to say I am surprised to see you here and drinking. I thought that you were more responsible than that drinking while pregnant has very serious health risks for the pregnancy." Jane said to me with the biggest smile.
"Oh Jane how sweet that you are worried about me but love I am not pregnant yet but it wont be long as Jasper cannot keep his hands off of me. Next time you should worry about you and your little sisters pregnancies because I am married and want children. I hope that all of your procedures don't prevent you from having children when you are ready." I smile at them both.
"You ladies enjoy the night I know I will." I tip the attendant and walk out of the door smiling.
The food was delicious and worth every dime of the "donations". I was so happy that Jasper had been able to come but I could tell that tonight had taken a lot out of him he looked exhausted. As soon as dinner was done I leaned toward Jasper.
"I want you to take me home." I said in his ear.
"Are you sure? You don't want to stay and dance baby?" Jasper answered but he didn't sound like he really cared if we stayed to dance.
"Husband I would like for you to peel me out of my dress." I said running my hand down his chest.
Jaspers chuckle warmed my heart he looked happy tonight. "Your wish is my command." He rose to go call the car. I said our goodbyes to the table and heard a couple of "newlywed" comments as I stood and walked away.
Jasper did not disappoint in peeling me out of my dress. As tired as I knew he had to be we made love until we were both exhausted. If we didn't slow down my bathroom run in with Jane would be very true. I knew that it was a conversation that him and I should have and soon but I can't say that I would be upset to find out I would get round with our child.
Jasper POV
June was ridiculously busy to say the least getting back to work and starting the take over from my father was making it so I was having 18 hour days away from my wife. I wasn't sleeping well due to the amount of things an people that I was responsible for in any one day. Bella and I had discussed a big reception and a honeymoon but she was neck deep in our private organization and I couldn't leave anytime soon. I had a feeling that I was on to something with the shooting, and after seeing Santiago with Gianna I was starting to think that maybe there was a connection to our shooting.
Gianna's father Eleazar and mine were close as children both raised by my grandmother they were 2nd cousins when my father got involved in nonno's business, Eleazar was jealous that nonno picked my father as his successor and with that came Eleazar trying to gain my fathers spot in the family from then on. Eleazar had wanted Gianna and I to marry but my father thought that the Swan family merger was better. By the time I was old enough to have a say Gianna liked to sleep around and there were many rumors of her getting rid of pregnancies. I didn't want nor need any of that drama in my life.
Gianna and Santiago together meant more to me than a social coincidence. It said to me that Eleazar may have sent a hit out on me and my wife so that our families could both be weakened.I had to run down this lead and that started with having a meeting with Santiago. Which brings me to why I am sitting in a pizza place in a three piece suit while my wife is at home waiting for me.
Santiago comes strolling in with a different woman on his arm. He pushes her into a chair away from our table.
"Jasper man good to see you." He puts his hand out toward me and I stare at his hand out and back at him.
"This is not a social call Santiago. I know that you or your goons are the ones that shot at my wife and I. Now what are you going to do to make that better? Or do I need to drag you out of here?" I say quietly so that only he can hear me. He pales bit and realization flashes in his eyes as he sits down calmly.
"So what would you like for me to say Jasper? I don't think that you have your facts straight but as much as I know about you, I know that I can't talk you out of this. So what do I need to do to fix our situation? I don't want you as an enemy." He looks like he is telling the truth but in my line of "work" a good lier is a necessity.
"I believe that you did this or you know who did Santiago and I want that information. I want you to tell me why Eleazar wants me dead." I just need answers I want my wife to be safe and I want children and soon but we cant move forward without putting this to bed.
"I can get you the information from Eleazar as I see him on a regular basis. But it's going to cost you he may kill me if he finds out." I cut him off leaning across the table grabbing his collar and pulling him over the table . " I will kill you Santiago I will rip you to pieces and feed you to my dogs." I push him back into his chair and standing and button my suit jacket and walk to the other table to the girl and lean down. "If you like your head attached to your body you might not want to hang out with him."
The ride home is not quick enough for my liking I was ready to be in bed with my wife and inside of my wife better yet. I walk in the door to an amazing smell I am sure that it is Carbonara and my house smelled of bacon. pasta and parmesan. Bella was sitting on the couch in tiny shorts and her tank top with a book in her hand and zeke my german shepard at her feet. This was home her and the dogs. I took off my jacket and threw it on the stairs. Zeke popped his head up but Bella didn't move she was engrossed in that book. I grabbed her and she screamed and hit my arm. I sat down and pulled her on me while she squealed.
"Damn it Jasper you scared me!" She wailed while trying not to laugh and slapping at my chest. In return I kissed her hard and deep. I put both of my hands in her hair and pulled her back, she moaned which did not help the tent in my pants.
"You cooked my favorite darlin' let's not have that go to waste." I say to her as she nips my neck.
"Oh no husband it is in the warmer it will be fine I have missed you." She starts unbuttoning my pants sliding down to the floor onto her knee's and I know I am going to be in for a ride.
