Chapter 104

Jasper

Waiting for my bride was a nerve racking thing anyway but now I had the added concern of seeing Tanya and Kate sitting behind me whispering just loud enough for everyone around them to hear about the bachelor party prank. Jay turned to look at me,

"You think Bella can hear them?"

"I don't think so and once this is over I am taking her as far from Tanya as possible."

" Not gonna happen Major, remember you are honeymooning in Alaska, right on their doorstep and sooner or later someone is going to drop you in it. I just hope I'm here to see it."

"And I thought you were a friend!"

"I am but you can't blame me for wanting to see Bella explode again, she is truly magnificent."

I was saved from answering him by the music which meant Bella and Alice would be here soon. The ceremony was taking place on the pier beside the boat with the guests aboard, not that it would save Tanya and Kate if Bella discovered what had happened. I risked a glance around and saw first Alice and then Bella appear up on deck. They were both beautiful but Bella seemed to outshine every woman there. She was dressed simply but it was perfect and I couldn't tear my eyes away as Emmett walked her to me handing her off with a wink.

Once Carlisle had delivered Alice to Jay's side the ceremony began. None of us had wanted anything fancy and it was therefore short and simple but no less beautiful for that and as he told us we could kiss our brides I pulled Bella into a tight hug,

"I love you."

"I love you too Jazz but I changed my mind about the honeymoon in Alaska, I'd like to join Alice and Jay instead."

"Really? OK, but can I ask what made you change it."

She smiled but there was something not quite right about it and I frowned,

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Why don't you introduce me to the guests, after all I don't know them."

I took her hand and walked her over to meet Carmen and Eleazar but continued to worry as I couldn't feel her emotions at all, she was blocking me for some reason.

"Bella it's so good to finally meet you and to see Jasper so happy. It was quite a shock to see the two of them standing there. Alice just introduced us to her new husband Jay. Didn't it make you look twice when you first met him?"

"Yes it did but they aren't that alike really, not once you get to know Jay."

"We are looking forward to your visit, the girls have planned a couple of outings for the two of you."

"How lovely, I have a trip of my own planned for them too."

We all looked at Bella, her tone had become strangely warm and seemingly friendly but Eleazar was shooting me warning glances. Had Bella heard the girls? Or had someone told her what happened?

Bella

I hadn't looked at the sluts when I came on deck, I didn't want their faces impressed on my memory of this wonderful occasion. Jasper looked truly gorgeous in his suit and tie and all I could think of was getting him somewhere private where I could rip it off him and take him as my husband as well as mate. Our lovemaking had become adversarial as we fought for control although I knew in the end I would submit. I'd just make him work for it, that was all!

Once I had been introduced to Carmen and Eleazar I turned to get my first look at the blonde haired tramp only to stop shocked to see Darius walking towards the boat with a beautiful young woman on his arm and looking so different. He was glowing with happiness and pride but who was the girl?

"Sara!"

I heard Carlisle's shocked exclamation, this was Sara? This dark haired beauty was Darius' mate? No wonder he looked so happy. Everyone crowded around as he introduced her to them and I tried to study her without seeming to. She was scarred yes but they didn't detract from her stunning looks and it was plain she and Darius were madly in love. As the noise died down she explained how Charlotte and Peter had helped her although Peter just shrugged looking embarrassed which for him must have been a first!

"I'm sorry we missed the ceremony but it took longer than we thought in traffic."

No one seemed to care, they were all talking animatedly so I glanced round and there she was looking at me with a blindingly beautiful smile. Did she really think we were going to be friends? If so then she didn't know me very well!

I waited my time staying beside Jazz and listening as everyone brought Sara up to speed on what was happening. She seemed especially happy to see Carlisle but then he was the only one of us she had ever met. Darius didn't seem to mind as everyone hugged and welcomed Sara into the extended family but I could see she was uneasy when the two sluts got close. So I wasn't the only one who didn't like them!

Their other sister Irina didn't seem so bad, she held back but then I saw why. Esme was watching her closely, so she hadn't forgotten Irina's attempt to lure Carlisle into her bed. All three were no better than they should be!

Of course they couldn't help themselves and soon came to speak to us.

"Bella we are so glad to meet you in person. Jasper you're a very lucky man but then you deserve the best."

She gave him a suggestive look that had me simmering.

"I hope we didn't hurt you the other day. Did the paint come off?"

She glanced at his crotch as I thought to myself, "Go on girl, dig your grave a little deeper." Jasper shook his head trying to warn her that discretion might be the safer option and I saw Kate nudge her before trying to change the subject but Tanya went blithely on,

"So do you have anything special planned for your honeymoon? Or will you just snuggle down together in your little love nest until it's over?"

"Actually I was thinking of doing a little redecorating."

She frowned,

"That's not exactly very romantic is it?"

"No true, but it's extremely therapeutic or so they tell me."

Jasper

I didn't like Bella's tone of voice and made our excuses before steering her away to dance with Darius while I took Sara for a whirl round the floor. As we danced she explained what had happened with Peter and Charlotte, it seemed my friend had outdone himself this time but then Peter had the ability to surprise when he put his mind to it. At the end of the dance I handed her back to Darius but was surprised to find Bella gone.

"Did you see where she went?"

"I'm not sure. Alice said something to her and the pair of them just disappeared, why? Not worried she's ready to run already?"

I explained the bachelor party tricks pulled by Tanya and Kate and saw his grin broaden,

"In that case I think we can expect to see them shortly, after all it wouldn't be payback if she and Alice humiliated them in private now would it?"

Of course, it was too much to expect that Bella especially would let things lie after finding out what had happened but I still didn't know how she had found out, I was almost sure she hadn't heard the remarks from Tanya before the ceremony although the little hint afterwards might have been enough to set her off.

I glanced around to see Jay trying to spot Alice who had disappeared with Bella and seeing me he came over.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Only I don't see Tanya or Kate anywhere either."

"I think it's safe to say that they found out exactly what happened in the warehouse."

"And now they are out for revenge? This should be good."

"Good isn't exactly the word I would have chosen Jay."

He grinned,

"You know with Bella being a newborn I guess you're right. I wouldn't want to be in Tanya's shoes right now but how did they find out?"

As I shook my head Carlisle came over with an envelope in his hand looking a little concerned.

"I think this might be the answer to that particular question Jay."

I took the envelope from him and pulled out the contents groaning when I saw the photographs then passed them to Jay who whistled,

"Tanya's handiwork?"

"Probably. All I can say is it's not going to end well for the Denali sisters."
