Friday night Bella called me.
"This is super awkward."
"We've fucked countless times. Just tell me the situation." If those Cullens…
"Tomorrow night is my dad's retirement party. The thing about my dad and my ex-boyfriend's father is that they're best friends and have wanted me and Jake to date since we were babies." I ground my teeth, holding back a growl. "My dad doesn't believe me when I said I found someone new and that I really like him. They think I'm just saying that so he'll be more supportive when I want to move away for college. Anyways, I overheard my dad talking to Jake's dad and- I don't know how, but they're going to try and get us back together."
"And you want me to beat him up?" I asked hopefully. Bella laughed and I could almost feel the stress leaving her, even though I was just outside of Port Angeles.
"No, I want you to be my date and settle this matter so that I don't have to hear my father sound like a scheming old lady again. So… will you be my date tomorrow night?"
"Of course." If only just to scare away one of Bella's past suitors.
"He's going to grill you for information once he sees that I was telling the truth."
"I'm not scared."
"Well I am! He's my dad. He knows when I'm lying."
"Then just leave all the talking to me."
"You can't be an asshole to him. He's my father and I still live under his roof."
"I can be respectful."
"I've never seen you be respectful, not even once."
"Now that's bullshit. I didn't take your virginity in that dressing room. I even made you cum before I took it." I said cockily. "You're blushing, aren't you?"
"It's comments like that, that would cause my dad to pull his revolver on you."
"I can be charming. I charmed you, didn't I?"
"I feel like your charm is very rarely appreciated." Bella sighed and I bit back my retort. "His opinion means a lot to me and if he doesn't approve of you… This just feels like it's too soon. I didn't plan on doing this so soon."
"Fuck society's standards. We'll do things our way. We're not an average couple. It's not too soon." Bella didn't respond right away. "What?"
"You called us a couple." Shit, I did. Can't take it back now.
"Well I don't want anyone else touching you and I assume you don't want anyone else touching me- so we're a couple." I was starting to feel awkward, but I didn't let it show in my voice. Fuck, I haven't felt awkward in decades.
"Interesting definition of a couple. I expected nothing less from you. Oddly enough your definition, though not typical, makes me really happy." This was getting too sappy for me.
"I have ulterior motives. If you're happy you're more likely to give me a blowjob." Bella chuckled.
"Goodnight, you ass."
"Dream of me fucking you." I said in the same light tone she used.
"Only every night since I met you."

I haven't worn clothes like this since I was in the confederate army. It was definitely different than my usual 'hobo' outfits. I fucking hate any shirt that strangles me- but apparently this was the sort of thing everyone would be wearing there.
I never thought I'd be walking into a room full of cops. A serial killer amongst a slew of law men... The things I do for that woman.
There were at least eight cop cars in front of a large building. I parked my car. I could sense three vampires inside. Fucking fantastic. I have to deal with Bella's father and those road bumps. I'd have to monitor my thoughts.
The large room was already filled with people by the time I got there. I spotted Bella immediately in a green dress that I'd love to take off of her. She was clearly worried and nervous while talking to the same woman I first saw her with, Jessica.
The crowd got substantly quieter as I walked in. many of the murmured as I passed by, always moving out of my way.
The Cullens… fucking piss-ant, Carlisle, and Esme. The piss-ant looked away from me, ducking his head. Carlisle gave me a forced smile while pulling his wife closer to him. I ignored them, instead heading for what's mine.
Bella was turned slightly away from me, making it easy for me to sneak up on her. Jessica stopped talking when she spotted me. I made every effort to not glare at her, but I remembered how much of a bitch she had been to Bella while pretending to be her friend.
I wrapped my arm around Bella's waist and she leaned on me automatically.
"You're late." She said while blushing.
"I am." If she was looking for an apology then she was looking in the wrong place. Bella shook her head and somehow became happier. She looked me over and her lust rose.
"I've never seen you so put together."
"Do you prefer me when I'm undone?" I asked, and Bella bit her lip, holding back a comment. She glanced around. Almost half of everyone was staring at us.
"Who's your friend?" Jessica asked Bella. As with most female humans I invoked both fear and lust. Unfortunately on occasions a woman would interpret those feelings as being attracted to the 'bad boy' type- or whatever the fuck Charlotte was trying to explain to me some years ago.
"That's right. You two haven't met yet. Jess, this is Jasper," Bella looked up at me, "and Jasper this is Jess."
"And you two are…" She left the sentence unfinished, waiting for us to fill in the blank. Bella's annoyance and embarrassment were rising quickly. Apparently she was enjoying this situation about as much as I am. I hated giving away any sort of information to anyone, but in this case it felt necessary.
"We're a couple." I said to Jessica, filling in the blank. The fact that she was stunned by my answer pissed me off.
"Oh, well…" She glanced at me then back to Bella. "Wow, good job Bella." She left without saying another word. Jess went to one of the few humans I recognized, Mike from the café. "You didn't tell me he looked like that!" She whispered into his ear before hitting him on the shoulder. "First Jacob and now that guy? How can she get them and all I get is you?" She hit him on the shoulder again.
"Jess, would you stop it. I'm not gay. I wasn't going to describe how he looked." Mike said while catching her hand in his own. "Now stop acting like this, our parents are watching."
"Did you hear what I said?" Bella asked while tugging on my arm.
"No, I didn't. You need better friends." I did a quick sweep, wondering which one of these pathetic pieces of shit used to touch what's mine- even before I knew she was mine.
"They're stupid, but can be entertaining." Bella shrugged and suddenly felt nervous. I didn't let the emotion seep into me. "Come on. My dad wants to meet you."

The middle aged man who helped conceive Bella was easy to identify. Carlisle hadn't been lying. Her father really is the police chief, or at least was, considering that this was his retirement party. He almost bristled up like an angry cat when he saw me. I could feel his instant resentment and dislike towards me, along with the usual undercurrent of fear.
Bella and I waited patiently for him to finish talking to three other cops. Bella was playing with the hem of her dress. I wanted to make a crude comment to see her blush, but knew it wouldn't be taken kindly at a time like this.
Finally the old man faced us, or more specifically me. His eyes were critical and his mustache twitched as he frowned. He absentmindedly touched his hip, probably where he used to holster his gun. Clearly this was going to be an uphill battle.
"Hello Chief Swan. I'm Jasper Whitlock." On the other side of the room I felt a bolt of fear slash through Carlisle. Apparently I'm still infamous, good. Now they really know I'm not to be taken lightly.
I held out my hand for Chief Swan. He gave me a hard look before shaking my hand. His grip was (can't win) weak.
"How old are you?" He asked with no preamble.
"Dad, be nice." Bella whispered under her breath. I held her a bit tighter and she calmed down a bit. The whole room was growing tenser as each second ticked by.
"I'm 23." It sounded like a healthy, believable age.
"So five years older than my daughter. Robbing the cradle, aren't you?" If only he knew…
"She's mature for her age and I'm immature for my age. It balances out." He was trying to stare me into submission, as if that would work.
"You accent?"
"Born in Texas, lived most of my life in New Mexico."
"College degree?" He was relentless with his questions, but I've faced better.
"Never went." Chief Swan's frown turned into a scowl. Beside me Bella was hiding her face().
"Occupation?"
"I'm from old money. I live comfortably off the capital gains I receive from my investments. Other than that I mostly just wonder around, picking up any odd job that catches my attention."
"And is my daughter one of those things you pick up while wondering around?" It was clear I was not getting his approval, not today at least.
"No, I'm setting down roots here in Washington because of Bella." She gave me a questioning look.
"Roots?" He was just as curious as his daughter, but in malicious () way.
"I bought a house that's about 45 minutes away from here as well as a car."
"That sounds rather frivolous of you."
"That's where you're wrong. It's not frivolous. I bought all that as investments. I'm investing myself and all those things because your daughter is worth it." His anger softened slightly. "I may seem like a stupid, irresponsible kid to you, but I know a diamond/winner/good investment when I see one."

Chief Swan asked me a few more questions before some of his coworkers pulled him away. He made it clear that this conversation wasn't over.
"I feel like I've learned more about you in five minutes than I have since we've been together." Bella said as we walked out of the crowd, to a long table with food on it.
"What do you want to know?"
"Did you really buy a house because of me?"
"I already got a car because of you. It's not that big of a leap for me to get a house." I kept looking into the crowd. There was just too many people. It made me anxious.
"When's your birthday?"
"(…)"
"Bella, can we do this another time. I feel like people are trying to eavesdrop on us." Some were even blatantly following us around.
"Fine, but you better not pull a dick move and just not answer my questions- Crap Jake just walked in."
"Your ex?"
"Yes, and he's walking this way." Bella grabbed onto my arm, her dread filling me. I easily found (…) Jake. He was built like a football player. His emotions were tumultuous. He was feeling frustration, anger, love, determination, and hate, all at once. "Oh, man I know that look. He's about to try and knock you out." Bella tried to stand in his pathway, but I wouldn't let her. Without even saying a word Jake pulled back his arm and went in for sucker punch, aiming right at my face. I easily caught his fist and redirected his movement so that he fell into one of the tables covered in food. "Shit." Bella whispered, holding back onto me as some drink spread all over the floor.
Jake quickly sprang back up. I pushed Bella aside gently and she fell into the arms of one of the cops that were coming over to break up our fight. He threw another punch, once again putting all his weight into it. I sidestepped him at a human pace, causing him to stumble. I held my hands up in mock surrender to this little piece of shit as the cops slowly made their way through the crowd. Jake tried hitting me two more times, with the same results until two of the cops finally held him back.
"What the hell, Jake?!" Bella asked after I sent him some embarrassment and self-loathing to stop him from struggling against the cops. "And to act like that here? Of all places my father's retirement party?" Bella walked back to my side and grabbed my hand, still looking at him. "I ended things fair and square with you. You had no right to act like a child like that and attack Jasper." Bella was starting to tear up, her frustration and embarrassment overwhelming her. I pulled her to me and she hid her face against my chest.
"You should get that wound checked out." I pointed to his hand. It was gashed open from when he fell. The scent of his blood was tempting, but I had to attend to Bella- Also, I'd be suspect number one if he suddenly went missing. I'll have to wait a few years before properly enacting revenge upon him. "Let's go outside for a bit." I whispered to Bella while kissing her on the top of her head.
Linebreak
"That stupid- Uck!" Bella said while pacing outside of the party. I was leaning on the brick wall while smoking. Oddly enough her being angry dulled my own fury.
I looked up at the sky while blowing out a smoke ring.
"It's going to rain in a few minutes. We should either go back inside or leave." I kept my voice monotone, trying not to influence her decision on where to go. She suddenly stopped her pacing and hugged me. I held my cigarette away from her while hugging her back.
"You showed amazing self restraint back there, by the way." She mumbled and sighed, some of the tension leaving her as she stayed in my arms.
"What do you mean?" I flicked my cigarette into a puddle, not wanting any ash to get on her.
"I was so sure you were about to kick his ass."
"In front of your father and a room full of cops? Naw, I'm not that stupid." Bella held onto me tighter. Any other day I would be planning out the perfect way to kill that son of a bitch, but Bella was my priority. "How about you ask me one of those questions. That will distract us both." Bella looked up at me and her expression turned sly.
"Tell me about your family."
"They're all dead. My mother died giving birth to my sister. My father drank himself to death. My sister followed my mother's example and died during childbirth too." It was the truth, just out of context.
"And… her baby?"
"Neither of them made it."
"I'm sorry."
"There's no need for that. I had let go of them long before I found out my father and sister were dead." Another truth, just out of context.
"Is there anyone else in your life, other than me?" She was quickly getting depressed. I shrugged, looking for the right wording.
"I have two associates. A married couple that I used to work with. I actually talked to them earlier in the week. They helped me find a good house to buy since they have more experience when it comes to buying houses. I usually only talk to them when I need something." Bella didn't respond immediately, mulling over what I said.
"That doesn't sound too pleasant." I wasn't sure what to tell her.
"They owe me and are always more than happy to help me whenever they get the chance." It started sprinkling. "It's going to downpour in a moment. Do you want to go inside or leave?"
"We should probably go back inside. I'm not going to let Jake ruin my dad's party." I nodded, took her hand in mind, before walk back into that mess of people.
Linebreak
I could hear a lot of the crowd mumbling about Bella and me. Some thought I had thrown Jake into the table, other's actually witnessed what happened, while others thought I had stolen Bella from Jake. It was stupid and reminded me why I hated humans, all except for Bella.
The three Cullens were still here, but Carlisle was in the back treating Jake's hand.
"I hate mingling." Bella said under her breath to me. "I can feel everyone's eyes on us too, talking about us, but I have to be here for my dad."
"If they're talking about us let's talk about them. Tell me about the residence of Forks." This was a good of a chance as ever, and probably would serve to distract her a bit.
"Most of them are pretty unremarkable. You already met Jess and Mike. They've been dating on and off since middle school. From the way she's clinging to him I'd say that today was one of their on days." She pointed towards a blond that looked about Bella's age. "That's Angela, like her name implies she's an angel, but when it comes to Ben, who isn't here, she gets to be all sorts of crazy. The one talking to her is Lauren. She's pretty shallow, but also has interesting stories whenever she comes back from visiting her mom in Seattle." Bella pointed in the direction of her father. "The man in the wheelchair is my dad's best friend and Jake's dad. Shit- he's glaring at you."
"He does look pretty angry." I kept my face blank as we stared down each other. He quickly looked away and grumbled to the chief that he was going to check on his son. "Has Jake ever acted that way to you before?"
"Thank God, no he was always a marshmallow when it came to me." Her guilt was coming back. It irritated me. She shouldn't feel that way for anyone, except for perhaps me. I had to distract her, and me.
"Tell me more about the people here."
"The woman in the red dress over there is Sandra, and I know for a fact that she's pretty much in love with my dad, but he's not interested." Bella said and I watched as Chief Swan went over to talk to Esme.
"And them?" I subtly pointed to the Cullens.
"They moved her a few months back. I think Dr. Cullen was here a few minutes ago. They have three other children. They keep mostly to themselves, except for Edward who tries to chat me up from time to time. He's a nice kid, but you know, he's just a kid." I could sense Edward's hurt emotions at her calling him a kid.
"Any of them giving you any problems?"
"Not really. Mike used to flirt with me relentlessly, but Jess put an end to that. Why are you going to 'beat them up for me'?"
"Only if you ask. It's Jake who I'm really worried about." I glared at the wall where I knew Jake was behind. Bella sighed, drawing my attention back to her.
"I think it's a good thing. My dad got to see that you're a bigger man than Jake and that you have my interests at heart. He'll talk to Jake's dad and he'll keep him in line." There was a high pitched chiming sound. A cop in the front of the room was tapping a champaign flute with a fork. "Time for the speeches, I guess." The cop began speaking, drawing everyone's attention to the front of the room.
"What are you doing after this?" I asked, whispering into Bella's ear.
"I promised my dad that I'd make him his favorite meal tonight, sorry."
"That's alright. What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Nothing other than laundry, but that can be put off for another day. What do you have in mind?"
"I want to show you my new place." I pulled her a bit closer to me subtly so as not to draw attention. "And I'm sure you know what I want to do there with you." Bella blushed brightly.
"How many rooms does this place have?" Her lust and excitement were rising and she was struggling to keep a straight face.
"Let's just say that you'll need a full nights rest if we plan on breaking in each room."

My lighter was almost empty. I had been flicking it open and closed too often, wasting it needlessly. I'll have to pick up another soon…
24 hours till I can fuck Bella again. 24 hours until I can make her cum. 24 hours until she'd clutch onto me in ecstasy. 24 hours until I can kiss her neck again. 24 hours until I felt her pulse racing because of me, because of the way I touch her, the way I fuck her, the way I… the way I… What else did I do to make her pulse race? For some reason I couldn't really pinpoint a moment where I had got her heart going other than when she was turned on or angry.
I pushed those thoughts aside. Right now I had things to attend to. Every show of weakness must be overshadowed by a show of strength. I had to counter-act before they could even consider acting.
I had revealed more than I had wanted to during that retirement party. Caring about others makes me look weak, it makes me weak- and I had to be sure that the Cullens did not think that was the case.
It was all about balance. I had to scare them enough so that they felt paralyzed, but not scare them so much that they decide to retaliate, call in reinforcements, or run off. As much of a nuisance as they were it was better to know where they were, rather than have them as rouge variables that could come back to bite me.
I pulled up in front of their house in my shiny new car. I lit up my cigarette, taking a few huffs before dashing it out. I could sense how anxious they were inside, waiting to see what I'd do next. I wasn't even sure what I was going to do next. These sorts of acts of intimidation were second nature to me. It took about as much effort as looking up at the stars took.
My car chirped as I locked while walking to the front door of the Cullen's house. To knock or not to knock… so many options. Before I could choose one of them went to the door, opening it wide- the skinny one, Alice. She was just barely peaking at me from behind the door. I sneered and she made a squeaking noise- like I just stepped on a mouse. I pushed open the door, knocking Alice over. She shuffled backward and Emmett ran into Carlisle's leg. He helped her up, not taking his eyes off me.
"I bought you the car, we stayed out of your way, we haven't talked to Bella- what more do you want from us?" He asked while pulling Alice up and handing her to Esme.
"You all know who I am, yet I know nothing about you. I plan on fixing that."
"Why do you think we know who you are?" The big one asked. He was standing a few feet behind me, as if that would affect me somehow.
"Carlisle knows. Whether or not he shared it with you I don't know." I flexed my fists, drawing their attention to my hands. "So who are you Carlisle Cullen, besides a doctor and fraud?"
"I'm no one. I just want to save human lives and live peacefully with my family. We don't want any trouble."
"Vampires that live with humans… one that can read minds and another who can see the future. I find it hard to believe that the Volturi hasn't stepped in and stolen Alice away. Either they don't know about her or you all have some special arrangement." His emotions answered my question. "She's your dirty little secret, isn't she? A gem that Aro would love to add to his collection." Carlisle's jaw tensed up and I knew I was right.
"We've stayed out of your way. Involving the Volturi would only hurt us both." Carlisle said with conviction. I pulled out my lighter, drawing their eyes to it as I flipped it open then close in one quick motion.
"I agree." I turned to leave, glaring at Emmett who was standing in my way. He moved back, fear and anger mingling together precariously. "Till next time doc." I waved at them while walking away and grinning.

I shuffled through a stack of CDs I had bought after visiting the Cullens. It had taken up a few hours and had been somewhat entertaining. The music was calming and helped burn up even more time.
I was waiting for Bella to text me to come pick her up so that I could show her my new house. It was fucking annoying, waiting . I was tempted to do some more reconnaissance on her house, but it would be too tempting. The thought of watching her would either lead to me rubbing one out or breaking in so that (…).
Finally I received a message from Bella, but it was not the one I wanted.
I'm having a few problems. I thought my dad would be alright with you, but Jake just came over to apologize to me, but ended up just talking to my dad for a few hours. They're suddenly best buds and now my dad suddenly said I have a curfew at 10. I'm so angry and I don't know what to do!
I read her message twice. I should have fucking killed that kid.
Sounds like it's time for a game of chicken.
I sent the message and she replied instantaneously.
What do you mean?
How to word this delicately…
Bella, you're 18. The only thing he has over you is that you live at his house. That's the only threat he can use against you. It's also a weakness though. What do you think he values more? Keeping you willingly living with him or him trying to enforce a rule that could possibly push you to move out?
Her response came five minutes later.
But… that's so disrespectful. I don't know if I can talk to him like that.
I had almost forgotten that she had morals. Those always complicated things.
He's the one disrespecting you by suddenly restricting you because of the actions of a boy who your father knows you do not want to associate with anymore.
(…)
But what if he threatens to kick me out or tries to force me to stay?
What does he value more? Your love or your respect?
I think my love. He's never tried anything like this before though.
He's a cop. He knows he can't do anything legally to stop you. It will be difficult, but you need to do this. His actions are a slippery slope. To yield to them just invites harsher restrictions. Freedom is taken slowly until it feels normal.
You sound so dramatic. It's not that serious.
It is to me. He's trying to keep you away from me, an attack on me through you. There's nothing more I hate than an indirect attack.
It took twenty minutes for her to respond. I felt like I was about to lose it when my phone finally pinged.
It worked. Come pick me up.

I could feel Chief Swan's anger as I parked outside their house. It was, of course, raining. Bella walked out, half smiling, a bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other. I leaned over the center council and pushed open the door for her. She tossed her bag in the back before sitting beside me. I moved to give her a proper welcoming, but she shrugged slightly while tilting her head towards the house. Her father was staring at us, well glaring was more accurate.
"Let's just go." Bella said while frowning.
"You're sad because you love him. He loves you. You love each other, so don't be sad or angry." I said simply.
"I just don't like making him angry."
"Every chick has to leave its nest at some point." I said while pulling the car out of the driveway. She looked out the window, frown returning. I had no fucking idea how to handle things like this. If she was one of my soldiers I would have just told her to man the fuck up or die. I've had no other sort of interactions other than the random fuck or when I'm acting to lure away a human.
Bella sighed and her stress faded.
"So tell me about your house."
"It's a fucking house. I don't know what else to tell you about it- Oh, and there's a hot tub." Bella perked up slightly and tried to hide a grin. "It's brand new and I just filled it with water…" Bella crossed her legs and bit her lip, still trying to hold back her grin. I placed my hand on her thigh. Her lust was quickly building up.
"God damn it, Jasper. We're not even out of my hometown yet and I already want you to pull over the car." She shifted in her seat and my hand drifted closer to her core.
"Maybe I should just torture you, make us both wait until we're at my place." I ran my finger over the zipper of her jeans and then a bit lower.
"Jas-per, you can't play with me like this. I'll lose my mind." (…)
"I'm not playing with you."
"Yes you fucking are-" I ran m(…)
"I can pull over right now, if you'd like."
"Not on the main road of my hometown-" She took in a startled gasp. "Christ, why are you driving so slow?"
"You mean the speed limit?"
"35 miles per hour is too slow."
"Well, if you insist…" I stepped on the gas. "We'll be at my place in twenty minutes." I kept up my slow strokes. "I was serious when I said you'll need all your energy if we want to fuck in each room."
"Stop playing with me, Jasper." She tried to move against my palm to get more friction, but I moved away slightly.
"I told you I'm not playing with you." I made a slight jerking motion just over her clit, making her back arch. "I just enjoy hearing you moan."
"You're such a fu-fucking ass." I was surprised when she suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt. "Now it's my turn to play with you." I gripped the steering wheel as Bella unbuttoned my jeans.
"Fuck." I whispered while trying to pay attention to the road. My fingers laced through her hair. Bella's technique had definitely improved. "Shit." There was something about driving 110 miles per hour with Bella bobbing up and down on my dick that seemed to prove to me there was a god. (life complete)

"We're only two rooms in. You can't give out on me yet." I said while kissing Bella on her hip.
"You're a machine. Let me get a drink and catch my breath, and then we can continue." She moved to stand from the carpeted ground, but I pushed her back down.
"I'll get you some. Do you want water or orange juice?" I asked while standing up.
"Orange juice. Do you have any candy or chips?"
"I don't know. I'll check." I'd literally just glanced at one woman's cart full of groceries then picked up the same things. I looked in the fridge and realized half the things I put in there didn't even need to be refrigerated. I had just tossed everything in there quickly. I'd also forgotten to buy cups and dishes. "Fuck it." I mumbled while pouring out some of the orange juice into the sink so that it looked like I drank some.
When I walked back into the… what kind of room is this? Not the fucking living room, and it's not a bedroom. It doesn't matter though. Bella sat up, leaning against a leather chair.
"No cups?" She asked, feeling humor. I shrugged and she laughed. I handed her the orange juice and a bag of pretzels. She took a long gulp before shivering. I pulled down a soft blanket from beside a table and wrapped it around her. Her munching on the pretzels was loud, but for some reason not annoying. She leaned against my shoulder while eating with her eyes closed. Her emotion of complete contentedness was startling yet somehow comforting.
Bella finished eating, but I didn't pull her down to fuck like I usually would.
"How do you like my house?" I asked in a quiet voice. Everything felt very peaceful and I didn't want to break that. Bella nuzzled against my shoulder so I pulled her over to me, so that she was in my arms and leaning against my chest.
"Considering I haven't seen much of it besides the floor and ceiling?" She said jokingly and I held back a crude comment, wanting to hear what she thought. "I think any house would be great so long as it was just the two of us in it." Once again she surprised me. Her response was so simple and honest that I was speechless.
Fuck, I'm falling in love with this woman.

"I should be heading home soon." Bella said at three in the morning while yawning. She stood up from the wrinkles sheets of the bed and stretched.
"God damn, Bella, stop tempting me." I looped my arm around her waist and pulled her back into bed. "I swear you do that shit on purpose." I said while rolling us so that I was on top. Her giggle cut off as I ground myself against her. "Fucking has made you even more beautiful." I ran my hand up her leg then to her hips.
"Jasper, I need to go home-" Bella covered her own mouth, trying to hold back a moan as I slipped two fingers inside her.
"Why don't you just spend the night?" I whispered to her while hitting the spot that always made her toes curl.
"Jasper, I need to-" I could already feel her clenching around me.
"What number is this, Bella? How many times have I made you cum today?" Bella wrapped her arms around me, pulling me closer to her as she moved to the rhythm we were creating. "You don't need to go home. Stay here. Stay with me."
"Fuck, Jasper!"
"Yes, moan my name." I wanted to fuck her, but the condoms were too far away, but I also wanted to watch her unravel- to feel that moment where I am the only thing in existence to her, that moment where her ecstasy was my own, when she held onto me for dear life-
"Jasper!" I could feel her heart hammering against her chest, her nails scrapping against my back, and her breath fanning across my skin. I rested my head against her chest, listening to her heartbeat, feeling it slow to her usual pace. "You're such an ass."
"How am I an ass?" I asked while standing to grab another condom.
"I try to leave and you do the one thing that completely distracts me."
"That doesn't make me an ass. That makes me a strategic man who knows how to get what he wants." I grabbed a condom from the small box that was nearly empty. She glared at me, clearly not amused by my answer. "Come on, Bella. What's a few more hours?"
"If I give you an inch you'll take a mile."
"Yes, but you'll really enjoy that mile." I said cockily while grabbing her by her knees and pulling her to the edge of the bed so that we were lined up perfectly. "Come on, just one more hour." I looked down at her as I spoke, her legs spread open for me, my dick just one thrust away from entering heaven- fuck she's biting her lip again. "Just give me one more hour, and then I'll take you home." Bella bit her lip a bit harder and it took everything I had not to fuck her senseless then and there.
"Fine. One more hour." Bella sat up, grabbing onto my shoulder. "But I'm on top."

Bella slowly rocked on top of me in a motion that just wasn't enough for me. I wanted to flip her on her back and fuck her like an animal, but this was her favorite position- me leaning against the headboard as she road my dick while holding onto my shoulders for stability. Admittedly it did give me unhindered access to her bouncing breasts- fondling, squeezing, pinching, biting, kissing, just shoving my face in between them- Bella loved it.
"Jasper," she kept chanting my name in that damn breathless voice she always got when she was close to cumming. I tried to focus on playing with her breasts to keep myself from grabbing her hips and speeding things up.
"Fuck…" I whispered, close to losing control. Bella arched her back, shoving her breasts into my face, her walls tightening around me.
"Jasper!" Bella shouted, her walls clenching around me. It was too much for me. I wanted to thrust into her with all my might, to cum inside of her, and most of all to bite into the soft flesh of her neck. That last realization made me pause. "Jasper?" Bella asked, still riding my dick with an endurance she didn't have when we first fucked. I grabbed her hips and started fucking her, not wanting to answer her question. A moment later I found my release. "Are you alright?" Bella asked while laying down beside me.
"I'm fine." I mumbled while getting off the bed to dispose of the condom.
"Bullshit, what's wrong?" I held back a growl. No one but her could speak to me like that and expect to keep all their limbs. I closed the bathroom door and pretended to take a leak so I could regain my composure. I understood why I'd want to fuck her and cum inside her, but what I didn't understand was the urge to bite her. It wasn't for her blood. Her scent was delicious, but it didn't make my throat burn.
I looked at myself in the mirror… the same scars, same murderous red eyes, the same everything, yet I was somehow different.
In the bedroom I could sense Bella's worried curiosity battling with her fatigue. I glared at myself. I hated that I didn't understand myself completely anymore.
I went back into the bedroom. Bella was clutching onto a pillow, snuggling with it as her eyes fluttered in and out of sleep.
"Are you alright?" She was genuinely worried.
"I'm better than alright." I leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "Just go to sleep."
"But… I need to go home." Bella said while nuzzling the pillow.
"Don't worry about that." I sent her a wave of fatigue and she made a humming noise before falling asleep.
I went to the balcony to smoke.
First she wasn't scared of me, now I want to bite her. The fuck is wrong with me? The fuck is wrong with her?
She's seen my red eyes, my countless scars, and felt how unyielding my skin is. Does she really still think I'm just albino? That I'm even human? Is she stupid?
"God damn it." I whispered while smashing my lit cigarette.
Was I stupid? She's a human. If the Volturi knew I was spending so much time with a human they'd be on alert. I knew what they did to Maria's army just three years after I left.
The hell am I doing here? I have a car and a fucking house. What the hell do I need a car and a house for? I'm not Peter. I don't like wasting my time laying in a hammock reading books. No, I was Jasper-Burn-Them-All-Whitlock. I caused humans to piss themselves, not smile and blush.
I pulled out another cigarette and lit it. I breathed in deeply, the smoke filling my lungs. At least I haven't changed my fucking brand of cigarettes.
I stared at the cigarette in my hand, my thoughts shuffling through the countless times I'd held one- as the different moments went through my head I realized that I kept remembering the times I smoked when Bella was with me.
Why does she keep coming to mind? Why isn't she scared? And why the hell am I so interested in her? I'd never been interested in anything beyond sex when it came to others, until Bella.
I glanced behind me. I could see Bella curled up on the bed, sleeping like there wasn't a serial killer just a few feet away from her.
I'm so damn confused, all because of one little human who wasn't scared.
Fuck, I can't think with her scent on my skin or her heartbeat ringing in my ear. I'll deal with all these feelings and thoughts in the morning after I drop her off at her house. Till then I might as well steal some of her warmth and hope that when she wakes up she'll want to fuck one more time before leaving.

"I hope he's not mad at me." Bella mumbled while covering her face. I didn't respond to her. I had no words of comfort. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"Next time we meet I'll have a gift for you." I said, trying to change the subject. Bella gave me a knowing look, but played along.
"You mean a gift other than you dick?" I grinned at her response.
"Well that and another gift."
"You know I don't want anything from you." I pulled over the car and I could feel Bella's confusion. I tried to weigh my words, but fuck it.
"I want to own you, Bella." I said, dead serious. She patted my leg.
"I know, Jasper." Her voice was carefree, frustrating.
"No, I don't think you understand. I want to own you. I don't want anyone else to touch you, let alone look at you." I held back a possessive growl. I could feel her emotions teeter, trying to make sense of what I was saying.
"Move back your seat." She said confidently. I paused, trying to figure out what she was going to do. "Move it back." I did so and she unbuckled both of our seatbelts before straddling my lap. She traced my jaw line with a single finger. Her eyes were gentle, following the trail of her finger. She used her thumb to trace the same scar she had when () met, before raking her fingers through my hair. "Jasper…"
"Bella." I said back to her, trying not to get lost in her soft, innocent touch. Her scent, the warmth of her skin, the pounding of her heart, the way her eyes always dilated () when she looked at me… it was all so intoxicating.
"Why do you want to own me?" Her hand trailed down my neck and to my shoulder. I felt the small hairs on the back of my neck rise.
"Because you're mine." I said while grinding my teeth. Everywhere she touched felt like the numb tingling of a good shot of whisky gave me as a human (). Her touch seemed to render all my logic and defenses useless.
"If I'm yours then you already own me. Or am I misunderstanding?"
"You're mine, but I want to own you." I was struggling to keep myself together as she raked her fingers through my hair again.
"That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me." Before I could respond she pulled my hair tilting my head back, exposing my neck. I found it surprisingly erotic. "Why do you want to own me, Jasper?" She whispered, her lips brushing my skin as she spoke. She kissed the spot right over my carotid artery.
"Because your mine." I grabbed onto her legs, trying not to do anything I'd regret.
"That's not an answer." Bella's warm breath fanned over my skin. I let out a stuttered breath as she nipped at my neck, the exact spot I had tried to keep from others teeth for centuries.
"Damn it, Bella." I could hardly string words together and she wanted some sort of answer. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to concentrate.
"How do you expect to own me if you don't even know why you want to?" She was slowly making her way from my neck to cheek, her soft lips banishing all thoughts.
"I do know." I said breathlessly.
"Then why?" I gripped her legs a bit tighter. "Why, Jasper?" The way she said my name like a moan and a prayer.
"Because…" Fuck, I felt like I was either about to cum or pass out, possibly both.
"Because?" She pulled on my hair a bit harder, tilting my head back further. I've never felt this close to dying before, yet so close to bliss. ()
"Because I love you."

The words left my mouth before they could even register in my mind.
I felt Bella tense up with surprise and pull back from me. She wasn't half as stunned as I was though.
"That was…" she said while letting go of my hair, "unexpected." I looked away from her, trying to come up with some sort of excuse for my slip. She tilted my head, prompting me to look at her. "Jasper, I…" she took in a calming breath. "I love you too." I looked at her for a long moment before nodding, not sure how to respond to such a sentiment.
Bella smiled brightly then kissed me on the lips for just the briefest moment. She moved off my lap and back to her seat before I could do anything. I pulled my chair forward again and pulled the car back onto the road, still feeling stunned. I could see Bella's reflection in windshield. Her grin matched her exuberant happiness.
I opened my mouth to speak, but had nothing to say.
We arrived at her house ten minutes later and I still didn't know what to say to her.
She leaned over the center council and kissed me on the cheek.
"As always, it was a pleasure." Her grin became mischievous. "And I'm already feeling a bit sore." She grabbed her bag and left the car. "I can't believe he said it first." Bella mumbled under her breath while opening the front door to her home.
I took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
The fuck is wrong with me?
I pulled the car back onto the road, heading to one of the larger cities to sate my thirst.
As I drove I flipped open my phone and called Peter.
"Hola, hola, hola!" Charlotte said loudly.
"Put Peter on the phone."

This story is complete trash so I'm putting an end to it, but I thought I'd post what I had left of it, so as not to let my hard work go to waste. I've moved onto the Avengers fandom.
