Chapter Twenty Two

Jasper

As Bella woke I felt her fear and tried to comfort her then moved away as she slowly sat up taking stock of her new improved body. My own was aching from being tense so long with her pain and my throat burned fiercely, I needed to hunt but not until Bella was ready then we would go together. Her red eyes stopped their scanning when they reached my face and she studied it. I knew she would see the scars her human eyes missed, running down the left side of my neck from jaw line into the collar of my shirt. I wondered if they would upset or frighten her and tensed in case she decided I was a threat and attacked but she amazed me by smiling and holding her hand out.

"You are even more beautiful than I realized Jasper."

I smiled somewhat confused, she wasn't acting like any newborn I'd ever come across.

"Bella, how do you feel?"

"Out of pain, great in fact"

She moved so rapidly she even surprised herself at the speed.

"Oh, wow!"

She had collided with me and now wound her arms around me pulling me so closely in my bones creaked in protest.

"Could you ease up just a little."

She laughed, then brought her hand up very slowly and threaded it into my hair, pulling our faces close and kissing me, at first timidly then harder and more demanding until I opened my mouth to allow her entrance. Her other hand slipped under my shirt to caress my back her touch lighting fires deep within me, a warmth spreading that I had never felt before and I kissed her eagerly until she pulled my head back and smiled,

"I need more"

I shook my head in response,

"You need to hunt first, aren't you thirsty?"

She thought about this for a second then shrugged,

"Sure but it can wait, I need you more than I need to feed"

That threw me completely, a vampire who put hunting second on their list. Before I could react she had knocked me onto my back and was straddling me, her hands pulling at my shirt ripping it in her eagerness to remove it. When the material gave she pulled it away impatiently and ran her hands down my chest, seemingly oblivious to the scars that covered it, usually a sign of danger that made vampires react defensively. Instead she leaned forward and ran kisses from my mouth down my throat and across my chest then moved downwards to stop at the top of my pants.

"Ah Bella, would you mind if I took them off only they're new and I really don't need you to rip them off"

"But I do" she whispered and sure enough within a couple of seconds she had me naked beneath her and continued her exploration the warmth within me stoking to white hot flames as her fingers touched my belly and lower, feeling my own desire for her and stroking it gently. I groaned, my mind on turmoil unable to concentrate on anything but the feel of her fingers running up and down my dick and the tension building inside me, eager for release. I thought she was going to bring me to a climax but she stopped just short as if knowing exactly when, then stripped off her own clothes and rubbing her naked body against mine. Self control I had plenty of usually but not where Bella was concerned and I tried to roll her over to give me the upper position but she was stronger than me and shook her head with a smile.

"This time The Major stays on the bottom, its my turn to control the ride."

"As she slid down on top of me I gasped again, the feeling of her holding me within her so tightly was mind-blowing and I tried to move, to twist again, but she just giggled and held me down by the arms before lifting her own weight up and down on me, my dick throbbing so hard I was amazed it didn't explode straight away. She kept this up for a few minutes her eyes becoming misty with her own desire and timing my move exactly I flipped her over and rammed into her as far as I could causing her to scream out. I rode her so fast I thought I wouldn't be able to stop and she grabbed my hips holding me down as she came herself, screaming in pleasure, her nails digging in to my hips as she did so. I managed a few more thrusts before climaxing myself with a grunt of satisfaction, feeling my seed forced deep into her warm body.

"I love you Bella"

It was all I could manage and she answered me equally breathlessly,

"I love you too and now no one will ever part us."

I felt the truth in her words, Bella and I forever.

We did eventually hunt and Bella was as graceful at this as she was in everything, there was hardly a trace of newborn in her. She hunted with me and shared our kills, something no newborn would have tolerated. After that we tried to make ourselves decent but it was a forlorn hope with my clothes in tatters although she managed wrapping my shirt around herself. It was only just long enough to cover her modesty and I was happy to follow her back to the house, with a view like that what else could I possibly do! Peter and Char were waiting for us, both grinning and Peter's eyebrow went up when he saw the state of undress,

"Well I knew those Elk were clever but I never knew they could strip your clothes off your back. I must try the same trail you took some time."

I wondered if Bella would be embarrassed but as she passed Peter she whispered,

"I had other thirst's and there are some predators out there you should watch for. The worst of all is The Major, he's wild!"

Peter burst out laughing as I followed her in, shrugging my shoulders but with a huge grin on my face. Char didn't say anything but put her thumb up, she was happy for me.

Once we were dressed again Bella took my hand and with a kiss only slightly less passionate we walked downstairs to join the others. Peters face was more sober now and as we sat down he coughed before speaking,

"I'm real happy for you two but we do have a slight problem on our hands and one that can't be ignored for long"

"Charlie?"

He nodded at me,

"Yep Major. He's gonna want to know where his daughter is and he's gonna want to see her which is even more of a problem. He knows we're weird but will he accept his daughter is weird now too? Bella, what do you want to do about Charlie because if he doesn't hear from you soon he's gonna be knocking on our door with a scatter gun."

Bella turned scared eyes to me,

"What can we do? If I tell Charlie won't it be putting his life at risk?"

"Yes, if the Volturi find out but if he can accept you without being told it would be better. Do you think he will?"

"He's a cop!"

"In that case we're fucked, we have no choice but to tell him."
