(Bella's POV)

"I love you too, Jasper." I told him as I stroked his cheek with the back of my hand. "I think I always have, but I know I always will."

And with that he pressed his lips to mine in the most passionate, loving kiss of my life and un-life. The electric spark flew throughout my whole body as he wrapped his other arm around my waist and pulled me against him. I wove my hands around his neck and into his hair. Our feelings were swirling around us.

He brushed his tongue against my bottom lip begging for entrance. I granted it immediately and moaned into his mouth. I ground my pelvis into his prominent erection and he let out a growl as he started to kiss along my jaw and made his way to my neck, sucking and nibbling. He was driving me crazy and the lust was starting to increase in waves.

"Jasper, I want you. Please, make love to me." I moaned breathlessly into his ear.

He continued to kiss his way back up to my ear and bit down gently.

"Are you sure?" He whispered, and continued his assault on my neck as his hands grabbed my ass tight and he ground himself into me again and moaned.

"Oh, God, yes, I'm sure. Claim me and make me yours."

Chapter 6
(Jasper's POV)

To hear her say that she was ready to for me to claim her was such a relief. It was becoming harder and harder to refrain from just taking her when my instincts were all but shouting at me to do it. Especially with other male vampires in the area and after this little fiasco with Laurent and Riley, I was willing to bet that they weren't the last the Victoria was going to send out for my Bella either.

I crashed my lips back to hers as I slid my hands under her ass and picked her up off the boulder. I walked a few paces away, then got down on my knees and laid her down on the grass in front of the waterfall among the flowers. She looked so beautiful smiling up at me, with her icy blue eyes gleaming at me.

I started kissing her neck up to her ear, running my right hand down her body while keeping my weight on my left elbow.

"I just want to thank you for this gift you're giving me. I promise everything will exceed your expectations." I whispered then bit down lightly on her earlobe and flicked my tongue against it. She shivered from desire as her lust spiked up a notch.

I brought my lips back to hers and immediately deepened the kiss as our tongues both fought for dominance. It wasn't long before I won and my reward was to explore her mouth. She tasted so amazing. Just like strawberries and cream. She ground her core against my straining erection and we moaned into each other's mouths. The friction she was creating was impossible to describe. I've never been more turned on in my life. From the emotions that were bouncing between the two of us, I could feel her pleasure as she could feel mine on top of our own. It was absolutely amazing.

I slipped my hand under the bottom of her shirt and dragged the tips of my fingers lightly across her skin on my way up to her breasts. She shivered and groaned at the sensation until I finally made it to the underside of her bra. I slipped my hand underneath the material and cupped her breast. She was so soft and warm. This was a plus to her having some human qualities regardless of how warm mates feel to each other.

I palmed her breast and tweaked her nipples with my fingers. She was making the most delicious little noises. I started kissing along her jaw to her neck, then to her collarbone. I then brought both hands to the top of her shirt and ripped it right down the middle. I took the clasp on the front of her bra and with the flick of my wrist, the clasp was undone. I pulled her to sit up a bit so I could take the offensive material off her body and threw if behind me.

I immediately took one of her nipples in my mouth and lightly traced my fingers down her body and stopped right at the top of her jean shorts. She was moaning and panting from being teased and it was such a turn on! I continued to trace my fingers lightly across the top of her shorts, but never going to the place where she most wanted me to be while I continued to suck on her delicious pink nipples.

"Jazz... please." She panted, twisting her fingers in my hair.

I drug my tongue up her body to her neck, then stopped and lightly bit her earlobe with my teeth.

"Please what?" I asked her. "Tell me what you want."

"I need more." She moaned rubbing her thighs together looking for any kind of friction she could get. I wasn't having that so I pushed my knee in between her thighs, effectively separating them from rubbing together. I could feel her frustration increase and her impatience spike.

I smiled against her neck as I continued to nip and suck lightly. I decided to ease her suffering a bit and palmed her sex through her jean shorts. She moaned loudly and arched into my hand looking for more. I kissed her hard to muffle her moans and brought my hand to the button of her shorts and flicked the button undone. I then proceeded to pull them down and she brought her hips off the ground to help me out, as I took her boy shorts off with them.

I took a minute to study her bare body under me. My God, she was glorious.

"So beautiful," I whispered to no one in particular. She bit her lip in the sexiest way at motioned for me with her finger. I complied and brought my lips to hers in a chaste kiss. She then pulled back and broke the kiss, then licked up my neck to my ear.

"I believe you are wearing too many articles of clothing there, Major." She said seductively. I shivered in want as her breath hit my ear. This little vixen was driving me crazy!

She started playing with the hem of my shirt, then tried to pull it up when I grabbed her hands effectively stopping her.

"What - ?" She started but I cut her off when I leaned back on my haunches looking down ashamed. I took a deep unneeded breath, in through my nose, out through my mouth. I couldn't look her face when I explained and let her see evidence of the monster I truly was. I could see in my peripheral vision that she was leaning up on her elbows, then she put one of her small hands in mine.

"Jasper? Baby? What's wrong?" She asked rubbing small circles on my hand.

I took a deep unneeded breath to ready myself.

"Bella, as you know I was in a lot of battles and wars. Not only that, but when I destroyed the newborns who were past their year mark, they always fought back against me and tried to kill me before I could dispose of them first." I started, then pulled up my long sleeve shirt to my elbow and showed her some of the many crescent shaped scars that littered my body. "And they aren't just on my arms. They are all over my chest, my back, my legs...it's not a pretty sight. Even Alice used to make me keep my shirt on during sex and always with the lights off. She never took a shower with me and always avoided having to be in the room when I got changed." I took another deep breath and continued. "The times she did see me without a shirt on, for whatever reason... I could feel the fear, disgust, pity and disappointment rolling off her. It used to kill me to think that my wife and mate thought that of me, even if she wasn't really my mate, she told me she was and at the time I had no reason to not believe her. I can't bear to feel those things from you, Bella. I don't want to chance it. That would kill me inside..."

I kept my eyes down and let it sink in for her. I was so ashamed of all the things I've done and though to the human eye it's almost impossible to notice, to vampires, the bites are like a warning beacon meaning we are dangerous and not to be messed with.

Suddenly, Bella sat up on her knees and brought her hand to my chin and tilted it up so I was looking at her in the eye. She had a serious expression, but her eyes were pouring out her emotions without me needing to use my gift. She kept eye contact with me and her hands went back to the hem of my shirt, tugged upward. This time I let her take it off my body and she threw it to the side. I kept my eyes down again, not wanting to see or feel the disgust or fear coming off her, so I kept my power closed off for now.

Bella crawled on top of me and straddled my lap. She started kissing my neck over some of my thickest scars as her hands roamed down my chest. I gasped out loud as she continued to kiss down my collarbone to my chest. She kissed across to the other side of my chest and back up to my neck, then lastly she placed a chaste kiss on my lips.

I decided to take a chance and test her emotions. If I wasn't already sitting down, I would have been brought to my knees with the strength of her emotions. There was pride, adoration, lust, admiration, honesty, devotion, and a love so strong, I didn't think it was possible to feel.

"H-how? Why?" I asked her as I looked into her eyes and cupped her face with both hands. I could feel the venom sting my eyes as my body produced tears that would never fall.

"When I look at you, and see your scars...I see your strength and courage. It makes me so proud that you are mine and I feel so honored to be yours. You are so amazingly beautiful in my eyes and your scars only enhance your beauty. They are almost like badges of honor and courage showing what you survived and how strong and amazing you are. It makes me so angry that Alice or anyone for that matter could behave like that towards you. I love you with all my heart and when we are together like this, I want to feel you. All of you, baby. You should never have to hide your body from me or anyone." She finished as she tenderly stroked my cheek with the back of her hand.

I crashed my lips to hers and sent out everything I was feeling back to her; Joy, happiness, amazement, relief, excitement, adoration, lust and love. She gasped and I took that opportunity to plunge my tongue into her mouth. We battled for dominance and finally she let me win. I felt her fiddling with my belt buckle and unhooked it as well as the button to my jeans. I helped her finish taking them off and then we crashed back down into the grass and flowers wrapped in each other's arms.

Immediately, things started getting heated. I kneaded her breasts with my hands and kissed my way down to her shoulders. I felt her slide her hands down my chest as she hesitantly grabbed my dick in one hand and my balls in the other. I growled and bucked my hips into her as she stroked and fondled me. If she didn't cool it, I was gonna cum too early. I rolled us, so I was now on top of her and started to kiss and nip my way down her body to her belly button and stopped at her hip bones.

"Please...Jasper! Please?" She panted.

I smirked against her hips as I lightly traced my hands on the inside of her thighs, but avoiding the area where she both wanted us to be.

"I need more, Jasper, please? Touch me!" She groaned while she withered below me, looking for some kind of friction. Her arousal was hitting me full force making my mouth water. I couldn't deny her or myself any longer. I had to taste her.

I opened her legs and put them over my shoulders. I used my fingers to spread her lips and used my thumb to massage her clit. She started moaning, panting and withering like crazy and I didn't even taste her yet! I flexed my muscles to keep her in place and licked her from her entrance to her clit. She screamed my name out loud as I flicked her clit with my tongue and then sucked on it roughly. She tasted amazing! Like the sweetest fruits and honeysuckles. She was better than any blood and I couldn't wait to consume more of her ambrosia. It made me moan against her clit and I felt her twitch from the vibrations. I loved how she responded to me. It was driving me mad!

While I continued to suck on her clit, I started to write my name with my tongue and brand her. Then I plunged a finger inside her and pumped it in and out. I added a second as I continued with my last name. Bella continued to make the most delicious noises as her hands were grasped tightly in my hair, pulling me closer to her. I could feel her walls flutter around my fingers, so I twisted my fingers to hit her g-spot and bit down on her clit. She screamed out my name as her muscles started producing tremors all over her body. I devoured everything she gave me as I brought her back down from her euphoric high.

Once she was settled down, I climbed back up her body and kissed her lips, allowing her to taste herself.

"Mmm... thank you." She whispered against my mouth. Damn, that was hot.

"Are you ready for this, Darlin?" I asked her, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear while looking into her beautiful, soulful eyes.

"More than anything," She said softly, sighing. "I want you to claim me and mark me as yours for all of eternity."

I kissed her again as I reached down and lined myself up with her entrance. I watched her face as I entered her slowly. We both moaned at the sensation as I continued up and then stopped when I reached her barrier. I questioned her with my eyes to see if she was ready. She nodded her head once and with one quick thrust, I broke through. I crashed my lips to hers again to muffle her scream. I could smell the venom tears fall down her cheeks as I caught them with my thumbs and dried her eyes.

I continued to remain still until she was ready and was adjusted to my size. All the while kissing all over her face and neck. Finally, she bucked her hips, signaling that she wants to continue. I start out slow, kissing her neck and lips as I slide in and out of her warmth. I could hear her making sexy little noises in my ear as she nipped and licked my earlobe.

"I love you, Bella." I pant in her ear as I start to pick up my pace.

"Ugh! I love you so much, Jasper!" She moaned.

I wrap my arm around her upper back and pull her to me so she's sitting up and straddling me face to face. This new angle felt amazing as I grip her tighter in my arms.

We were panting, moaning and calling out our love to each other as we continue on.

I can feel her walls starting to flutter around me again, signaling that she is as close as I am.

"Cum with me, Bella," I pant in her ear.

I reach down and rub her clit with my thumb as I feel her walls clamp down on my dick as she cums with me.

I bite down on her neck and pump my il veleno d'amore into her neck. I feel her walls clamp down as she cums again as I continue to pump my essence into her venom.

At her second orgasm, I felt her bite into my neck as well and I could feel her pump in her own poison into my body. This brings me to another release as well. It was amazing! I never came this hard or this close together so fast! Not only that, but the orgasm continued out as long as we were pumping our mating poisons into each other. It was a complete body high that had my eyes rolling back into my head.

Soon, after I started to smell my scent mixed with hers, I closed the bite with my tongue, and laid a kiss over the bite while she closed mine. We pulled back and looked into each other's eyes and smiled. I leaned into her and gave her a chaste kiss, then laid us back down so we were facing each other while we cuddled together side by side.

"That was amazing." She told me running her fingers through my curls.

"You're not kidding!" I chuckled. "I've never felt anything like it before. You are amazing, Darlin."

"You're not so bad yourself there, Major." She giggles as I groaned. That nickname! Every time it comes from her lips, it turns me on!

We lied there and just talked for hours, holding each other and laughing all the while we remained inside our little bubble, bouncing our love and emotions back and forth to each other.

Eventually, I pulled her to her feet and made her close her eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" She laughed. God, I loved that sound. I would do anything it takes to keep that beautiful smile on her face.

"It's a surprise, don't worry about it. I know you hate surprises, but it's only a few feet from here, so you don't need to worry about anyone going overboard. This was not planned, just a spontaneous idea." I told her and she nodded her head in acceptance.

Keeping her hands in mine, I led her over to the side of the waterfall where the rocks were stacked and picked her up, cradling her to my chest. I hop across the rocks and make it behind the waterfall and then put her down on her feet. I arranged her so she was facing her surprise and then wrap my arms around her waist with her back against my chest.

"Ok, open your beautiful blue eyes." I instructed her.

She opened one eye first and I heard her gasp in amazement as she opened the other. Her eyes then grew wide as saucers. Under this waterfall there is a small cave that has a hot spring inside. It's not very large, but it's a little bigger than your average size hot tub.

"Oh, Jasper! This…*kiss*... is...*kiss*... amazing! How did you find it?" She asks turning to me with a wide smile on her breath-taking face.

I laughed at her antics and go on to explain that Peter and I found this when he first bought the property. We went to explore the area and stumbled across this.

"Can we get in?" She asked with excitement.

"Of course! That's why I brought us back here!" I tell her as I led her to the edge of the spring.

I got in first, and helped her step in. The water is quite deep in the center, but I can still stand on my flat feet with the water to my chin. It's still too deep for Bella to touch so she wraps are legs around my waist and holds on to me while I guide us to a rock to sit on the other side in the shallower waters.

She stayed on my lap, and continued to straddle me as we talked about everything together. Eventually, things got heated up between us again and we make it on to round two.

About an hour and a half later, I was guiding my Bella back to our clothing and helping her dress. When we got to her shirt, she picked it up and I felt her panic as she noticed it was not salvageable. I picked up my shirt and stood behind her as I help her get into my shirt.

"Thanks," She said as she smiled up at me. I just kissed her cheek in return and finished buckling my belt over my jeans. Lastly, I put on my boots and we were all set.

"Do you need to hunt once more?" I asked her.

"Um... I could go for a little something." She answered and blushed.

I walked back up to her and wrapped her in my arms.

"Bella, sweetheart, there is no reason to be embarrassed. You are a newborn and you are expected to feed quite a bit more than the rest of us for a while." I explained and then planted a chaste kiss on her forehead. She nodded her head and even though I could feel a bit of reluctance, she accepted that fact.

I sat in a tree near by and watched as Bella stalked a black bear near the river that was fishing for his dinner. She snuck up slowly and quietly. When she was in striking distance, she lunged herself at the bear and quickly snapped his neck and latched on. I found that I enjoyed watching her hunt quite a bit. She was so graceful and lethal. Also, it seemed that unlike Emmett, she didn't play with her food.

Once her bear was drained, I helped her bury him. I noticed that she was deep in thought and was feeling quite curious and reluctant.

"You know you can ask me anything, darlin." I told her as we patted the earth down around the tree where the bear was buried.

She bit her lip hesitantly so I sent her some confidence to help with voicing her question. She smiled her thanks and began. "I was just wondering what it's like to drink from a human. Is there a difference?"

This question surprised and shocked me quite a bit. She obviously felt that so she immediately dived into an explanation. "It's just that... that..." She started to stumble as her eyes rolled back into her head and she started to fall to the ground. I quickly grabbed her and cradled her to my chest just before she hit.

I started to panic. I knew she was not dead, because I could still feel her emotions. They were very lethargic, and I could feel that she was in a great deal of pain. She was also very scared and confused.

I could feel my demon clawing at the cage, deep inside myself. We needed to protect our mate at all cost. It's times like this when our mate is in danger that our demons come out to protect our mate when they are hurt against all and anyone while they heal. I didn't have it in me to fight him with all my worry and concern for Bella. So, against my better judgment I let him out. It was impossible for us to hurt our mate, so I knew she would be ok. Sometimes a vampire running on instincts knows how to better take care of their mate than the rational side of themselves.

(Third Person's POV)

Jasper took off with his mate in his arms, following the trail that they came from, back to the large house that had both of their scents on the property. Peter and Charlotte were standing out from when they arrived. Peter was pacing back and forth in a frenzy, feeling panicked and stressed. This made Jasper a bit uneasy with his mate unaware like this, especially if he blond male attacks. Regardless though, he would protect her at any cost.

The male's head whipped in our direction. They both started towards us, but I took a step back and gave them a loud warning growl. They both came to a stop and looked us over. I slowly put our mate on the grass and stood over her in a crouch ready to tear apart either of them if they try anything on us.

As the male studied Jasper's eyes and his behavior, his recognition flaring as he said something to the female.

"Char, baby, don't move a muscle. It's not Jasper or the Major." He said as he brought his eyes to the ground. "If he feels like we're too much of a threat to his unconscious mate, he'll attack and kill us. You know what to do. Follow my lead."

"But Bella -"

"- will be fine." He interrupted. "I 'know' he'll take good care of her and when Garrett gets back with the human blood, we'll figure a way out to get it to em'. He'll take care of her first and foremost right now and won't hunt or eat for himself until Bella is better."

The feral vampire wished he could understand everything that they were saying instead of the odd one or two words here and there. It pissed him off and made his temper rise.

They all continued to stand there and Jasper didn't like not knowing if they weren't going to suddenly attack or not. He couldn't take that kind of risk with his mate here. He gave them a louder warning growl, placing Bella gently on the ground and crouched lower over top of his mate. They moved very slowly to their knees with their hands at their side. Then they exposed their necks to him in the ultimate submissive posture.

He waited it out a bit to make sure that this wasn't some sort of trick. He kept a constant growl rumbling through his chest, warning them.

They began sending out submissive emotions to him; defeat, calm contentment...etc. He continued his low warning growl and carefully picked up his mate. He cradled her back in his chest and took the long way around the two vampires, still in their submissive stances, all the while continuing to warn them with a constant threatening growl.

Once they were a safe distance from them, he followed their scents into a room. There was a smaller room connected with lots of soft fabrics hanging up around the perimeter. They would be the perfect secluded den for his mate to heal in.

He took her in there with him and closed them inside. He laid her on the ground for a moment and started ripping the fabrics down and creating comfortable surroundings.

Once He was satisfied, he picked up his mate and put her on the makeshift bed, and then surrounded her with more of the fabrics. After he was finished, he straddled her hips and leaned over her and buried his face in her neck, inhaling her calming scent.

SLAM!

He whipped his head around towards the door and sent out a loud booming roar. He continued to listen for a moment to make sure that there were no other noises before returning to tend to his mate. Once he was satisfied, he started to search her over for injuries, all the while licking every inch of her skin so that even the smallest of injuries had the chance to heal quickly.

"Damn it, Garrett!" Jasper heard a male growl. "Don't slam the door. Do you want to die right now, because I sure as hell don't!? He will only allow us to stay in here if he doesn't feel that we are a threat to his mate."

He growled again at the male, instinctively threatening him before going back to work on his mate once the silence resumed.

"I don't understand?" Garrett whispered. "What's going on?"

"Since Bella's hurt, his demon came out to protect and take care of her. He's just like he was earlier, except deadlier. As you've probably noticed, any loud noise or voices he hears, he's been warning us off with growls. Now, what we're gonna do is put the blood in two different thermoses. Then, I am gonna go the fuck up there and quietly open the bedroom door and roll em' across the floor and make sure they hit the closet door to get his attention, though he'll probably hear me comin'. We're gonna smear some blood on the outside of the thermos, so he can smell it, as well, and know what it is." The first male explained.

"He has her in the closet?" Charlotte asked quietly.

"Yup," Peter answered, popping the 'P' "He barricaded em' in the walk in closet in their bedroom and made a borough of sorts to heal his mate in. She's the only one who can bring em' back from this chaotic state without losing a limb or worse."

"I don't understand?" The other male asked too loud for my liking. "Why hasn't he come down here and tore us limb from limb?"

Jasper didn't like all the noises coming from them and continued his growl and headed to the door. He wasn't going to risk those possible threats being this close to his hurt mate. He had just moved off his mate when he heard her whimper. He couldn't leave her, though! She seems to need him there!

He gave out a frustrated roar and then continued to growl. Once he was sure that there were no more loud noises down there, he quieted and continued to tend to his mate.

He knows that they heard him because there was a long pause.

"Listen Garrett, if you're gonna be in the house with us, you need to be as quiet as you can be or shut the fuck up! Though, I prefer the latter. Otherwise, he'll fuckin' come down here and tear us all apart and turn us into crispy critters. I 'know' that the only thing stopping him right now is Bella distracting him every time he makes for the door and he ends up goin' back to her. But she's weak and needs care, so she can't keep this up! She's aware, but not nearly strong enough and is in a fuck ton of pain!"

"Why would he kill us? He knows we wouldn't hurt Bella. I mean last time -" Garrett started, only to be cut off by Peter.

"The last time he didn't was because of Bella. She had him locked inside her shield protecting' us from em. He's not rational in this persona. Even the Major is able to speak and be reasoned with, but his demon isn't. It's his animal and he doesn't recognize anyone or anything except his mate. Don't under estimate him. Maria used to purposely provoke him into this state an' run like hell. He'd destroy whole towns and any vampires including newborns in his path. She loved when he went on his rampages. Even when he's not like this he is the baddest mother fucker you'll ever meet. They don't call em' the God of War for nothin'! He's the most feared of our kind and the most fuckin' respected. If you value your life, you'll follow everything I tell ya to do an' keep your mouth shut and be quiet!" He softly growled out still too loud for me.

Jasper started growling loudly at the all loud sounds coming from inside the house. After enough thought, he decided that it would be best to illuminate the threat, just to be safe. It would be quick, so he would be able to get back to his mate in no time. She seemed unaware at the moment anyway. She wouldn't even miss him.

He started to rise from the back of their homemade den. He almost made it to the door this time when he heard a whimper come from his mate. He rushed back to her side immediately and leaned back over her again, and buried his head in her neck. He started purring as he put his arms around her limp frame, rocking back and forth, attempting to sooth her.

She was worried and scared, and he didn't want her to be afraid. He would protect her and help her heal herself.

He heard something beeping downstairs and growled another warning. He really wanted to go down there. He didn't like how his focus was not solely on his mate. He knew that the first thing she needed to do was feed, but how? With those threats around, he could not leave her alone to hunt.

Next, he heard footsteps coming up the steps and getting closer to the room their den was in. He started to growl louder, trying to warn whoever it was off, but to no avail. That was it! He's gonna get em'! He started to leave the den, only to have his mate whimper louder and reach out to him. Her eyes were open and were as black as coal.

Damn it! He couldn't leave her. Her emotions were a mess, showing panic, desertion, fear, helplessness... he had to stay with her. He could hear the bedroom door creak open, but there were no footsteps following. Hopefully, whoever it was wouldn't be stupid enough to enter their den.

He flitted back over and crouched over his mate as low to her as he could possibly get. He was growling menacingly at the door, while letting his mate play with the fingers of one of his hands and holding it to her cheek while she whimpered softly.

Next, they heard something that rolled its way across from where the entrance to the door was, and then it hit the door to their den, making Bella jump a bit in surprise and then whimper again.

They heard the door close immediately after that, and then heard someone walking back down the steps.

Suddenly, they smelled something sweet in the air. Blood. He could tell that his mate smelled it too because her eyes had darkened and she was whimpering louder and reaching for the door as if trying to show him what she wanted. He made his way over to the closet door and opened it a crack, then peaked out, scanning the area for any threats. He needed to make sure that this was not a trap.

Upon seeing that the coast was clear, he looked down to see two large containers. They seem to be carrying the blood inside of it. Still watching the room around him, he bent down and picked them up, then shut the door, making sure it was secure before turning back to his mate.

He picked her up and sat her up in his lap. He then took one of the containers and popped the top so she could drink. He held it to her mouth and she wrapped her tiny hands around his larger ones, helping him feed her. He started to purr softly to help relax her a bit, since her emotions are still on edge and it seemed to work a great deal.

He was very happy that he was able to take care of his mate the way that he was. Her eyes seemed to have their full color back in them and he could feel her getting stronger.

Finally, she was done the first container. She was able to sit up on her own now and seemed to be healed. Bella then wrapped her arms around his neck and started purring, giving him little pecks all over his neck. She was sending boat loads of gratitude, adoration and even more love.

She pulled back for a moment and picked up the other thermos of blood and opened the top. She took the first mouth full, then she insisted that he feed as well.

He lost control the second that he tasted it. Human blood. 'Mmm... It's been so long!' Jasper thought to himself as clarity began to seep through the darkness. He took his time enjoying each mouthful of the delectable ambrosia.

After the second thermos was finished, he knew that he had to do one more thing to heal his mate. This part was instinctual to all vampires when it comes to healing their other half. It heals any inner or outer wounds faster than fusing or blood.

After a vampire found his or her mate and they were fully mated, their body starts to produce the il veleno d'amore in their venom. It is used to heal their mates if they are hurt in anyway. But the catch is that it only works for their mates to drink their partner's.

He bit into his wrist and put it to Bella's lips. She latched on immediately and began to drink. After several pulls, he brought his wrist back to his own lips and closed the wound. He then nuzzled his face into his mate's neck and started purring to comfort her and to take in her delicious scent.

"Thank you," Bella whispered to him, sending him all sorts of warm and fuzzy emotions. She then straddled his lap as he pulled back his head to look at her in her eyes. She tucked some hair behind his ear and leaned in and kissed him softly on his lips. He ran his tongue across her lips, begging for entrance. She complied and allowed him to deepen the kiss.

He suddenly felt his demon fully retreating back into his cage as Jasper came back to the forefront.

A/N: Anyone have any ideas on why Bella got sick? What will happen next now that Jasper is back to himself again? I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Leave a great review for me!
