Chapter 3: Remove The Mask You Hide Your Handsome Face

Jasper's POV

Who would have known that feeling the emotions of other people, could enable gifts such as being able to sleep and feel the effects of hangovers?

As I awoke from my surprised slumber, my senses came back one by one. First came my sense of smell. The white beach sand, the sound crashing waves and the smell of sea-salt dashed with pine woods alerted by my sense of smelling, making me realize that we were nowhere near home and that we were still on the La Push beach.

Then came my hearing.

Different types of snores echoed in my ears. I established two of them to be from the wolves that joined our little fiasco last night and then there was the snores coming from my brother Emmett. He must have been asleep too, after I gave him the emotions radiating off of Paul and Seth.

It was a discovery that I'd have to dig deeper into and consult Carlisle about but that wasn't my priority at the moment because the next sound I heard was melodic, light snores. And they were coming from a female. Bella.

Lastly, my sight returned. My eyes felt heavy as the pair of golden topaz colored eyes fluttered open just to see the color brown in my line of vision. As I slowly came to, I groaned, snapping my eyes shut and reopening them once more.

My eyesight was much more clearer now and the brown that I saw before were the locks of straight and matted, yet lustrous brunette hair. And there was only one brunette that I wouldn't mind waking up to and one that I knew.

Bella Cullen. My sister-in-law.

The bright sun light radiated on our pale and naked bodies, causing us to glimmer with sparkles. My arms were wrapped tightly around her slender yet curvy waist. Legs curled into the back of her knees and my certain body part I only chose to share with Alice, tucked snugly in between her buttocks.

Quickly unwrapping myself from her body, I shot up in a second, immediately feeling a wave of pain flash through my brain. A damn migraine. As I vigorously massaged my temples to no avail, my current actions stirred the sparking brunette out of her sleep.

She awoke slowly and cautiously. Her emotions were confusion, fatigue and curiosity. Bella stretched her tired muscles and limbs, unaware that she was naked and in the presence of four males, one which was myself, awake.

Her plump breasts bounced with each movement and her cool, mint, strawberry and water-lily smelling breath breezed through the sea-salt air, wafting up my nose and caused me to become unconsiderably thirsty.

Bella must have heard me shift under the sand because snapped her head to the left, where I sat and where she stood. A high-pitched gasp escaped her lips as she noticed me naked and then her dull brown eyes roamed over each feature of my body, right down to my hands now covering the bulge my male-member decided to harden into at the sight of her stretching.

We were both silent before she finally spoke, "... Did we... have sex?"

The question rung through my aching head for a moment before I finally answered, "No."

Bella smiled, falling into a seat next to me. "Jasper," she spoke, her octave tone sound mystified. "I actually went to sleep last night."

I nodded at her assessment. It was such great heights that I never knew my gift could bring me and others. It is virtually impossible for a vampire to sleep. But after inducing our emotions to feel the effects of someone going into slumber... strangely enough, we fell asleep.

"I know," I say, letting my eyes close. "I slept myself. It's been... decades since I've gotten such a good sleep."

I can feel Bella's gaze lingering on me. And I definitely would wager that she's tugging on the plump bottom lip with her teeth... that was a human habit the female vampire would not give up and one I didn't mind. In fact, it made her seem childish yet sexy. But I shove those thoughts to the back of my head.

"How is it possible?" She finally questioned.

"Sleeping?" I peak an eye open at her.

"Yes."

I sighed exasperated by the sudden question because it was something I had not figured out myself. I just was going on a whim. "I'm guessing the emotions of Seth and Paul were so strong that when I induced them upon ourselves, every emotion carried on with it. Even the feelings of deep slumber."

She was silent before releasing a heavy, exaggerated exhale filled with content. "Jazz, I don't know how you did it, but do it more often." - "Plus, make sure when you do it, bring your body."

I raised an eyebrow, becoming stiff in my movements. It's not that I didn't mind... it's just there were risk factors. Alice... Edward. Guilt began riddling my subconscious at the thought of my dear, pixie-like wife. And then my bronze-haired brother. What were we doing? I looked at Bella with uneasiness shining through my eyes.

She must have sensed my uneasiness at her comment because she soon added, "You are such a good snuggler. Your secret's out. Now not just Alice knows."

I couldn't stop the smile forming into the features of my face at that comment. "If you tell anyone that I like to snuggle, I'll kill you."

"You know, with you sitting next to me naked and covering your dick like that... the threat doesn't seem to phase me at all," Bella smoothly retorted, letting out a girlish giggle at the sudden look on my face.

"And I suppose those ripped garments would be your clothes." I pointed to the shreds of different articles of clothing. Bella stopped laughing, her lips forming a thin line. We breezed over to the pieces, slowly picking them up and examining them.

Her hands grasped a ripped piece of lace and she raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at the sight of it. "Woah." Her lips curved into a sheepish grin as she tossed the ripped lace at me. "Are you sure we did nothing, Jazz?"

Somewhere along the lines, I preferred her to call me Jazz. It had a little ring to it, coming from her melodic and octave tone. I examined the ripped, mesh materials length by length just to see that it was in fact ripped off. But I had no recollection of how and why our clothes were ripped. Sure wish I 'membered it, too.

"We went for a swim..." I uneasily told her, confusion laced in my tone. "That's all I remember after letting myself feel the effects of the marijuana."

The brunette placed hands on her hip, pursing her those full lips of hers as if she was in deep thought. She tapped her chin, staring with her dulled brown eyes at the radiant sun and the shadows it cast on the rocking waves of the La Push beach.

Bella then suddenly grasped my hand, and tugged. "Come hunt with me?"

.

.

.

It was a very light sprint back to the Cullen household where Bella and I proceeded to shower quickly and dress, before going out for a quick hunt. We left Emmett to enjoy his high-induced slumber seeing that the brawny vamp has not slept in centuries. We felt as if he could use it.

Now on to more important matters, listening intently for sounds of a nearby herd of animals, a smile curved into the feature of the pale, female vampire. We listened closely, suddenly hearing the heavy and stomping hooves of what sounded to be a herd of elk.

I gave a small nod to the cautious and attentive brunette.

In a split second, we emerged from our hiding spots with Bella slowly sliding off of the giant tree branch she was perch on and myself leaping from a canopy of tree leaves. We made our way, running with immense speed towards where the sounds came from.

Instincts kicked in as a herd of what appeared to be five or six elks dashed across the pasturelands that the forest divided into.

"Race you to the biggest one," I heard Bella whisper with a challenging smirk plastering onto her chiseled face.

"You're on, darlin'."

The herd of elk separated into two groups, just as she challenged me. I took the left and she took the right. The gracious and brunette vampire leaped forward, tackling down two medium sized elks, snapping their necks in a split second.

Feeling my pride bruised a bit, I closed my eyes, focusing on the pitter-patter of heavy, stomping hooves. One medium sized elk and a large one. Possibly the alpha-elk of their herd. We're gonna beat this lil' missy. I chanted in my head, huffing and puffing as if I was running in a marathon.

Bella had already turned to her third elk, making it's way through the grassy underbrush of the forest, immediately catching it and seizing the animal's neck in her dainty hands.

I could feel her radiating emotions of pride and egotism, which fueled me to work even harder, as I finally caught up to the grown elk, leaping and tackling the animal to the dirt grounds. I wrapped my arms around it's neck, watching as it struggled to break free. With one fickle move, the elk's movements stifled and it stopped breathing.

Grabbing my kill by it's hind legs, I heaved it over my shoulder, sprinting to the open field Bella settled herself and her kills in.

"I believe these are the kills of a winner," she chimed in a sing-song tone, motioning to the four elks she lined up in a row as if she were displaying products to sale.

I had to hand it to her. The brunette was clever but she did not win this round.

"Wrong." I chirp, loving the way her perfectly arched eyebrows narrowed and her full yet plump lips curled back into a snarl.

"I got the most kills, Jasper!"

I carried my large elk over to her display line, settling the carcass down. Her eyes lingered over the fat and long furry animal for a second before she frowned.

"The challenge was-"

"the biggest one." She finished with a roll of her dull brown eyes.

I have her a 'thumbs up' before proceeding to sink my teeth into it's furry flesh, drinking the hot and juicy blood within at least a minute.

"Do you want to hand over the elks as prizes for me winning and go hunt again or what?" I teased, drowning myself in her emotions of faltered pride and seething anger. The brunette crossed her arms over her chest, shrugging her shoulders.

"Drink up." She lowly murmured in a sour tone. My eyes rolled back as I began to drink the elk dry, but afterwards covering it's blood-less carcass into the underbrush. I went to finish off the rest of my prize, but stopped at the sudden change in Bella's emotions.

Her eyes were black and burning with thirst. The female vampire sat just a few feet away, settled in a sitting position on the grassy fields. Hands formed into claws and her stone face pulled into a stunningly terrifying yet beautiful scowl. She was angry at the fact that she had to watch me drink the prey that she hunted. Her newborn instincts and blood-lust was slowly taking over.

But in the mist of it all, I sensed what could be described as a... shrewd feeling? She had something planned up her sleeves. Lust bored it's self into the wrap of emotions and then there was a tinge of giddiness.

Almost like a teenage girl's emotions.

"Jazz," My golden eyes lulled over the full, yet plump lips of hers plastering into one of her girlish grins. In a breeze, she was sitting on top of one of the elks, with one leg crossed over the other, back straightened and hands placed on top of her well-toned thighs; even through the wool materials of the tights she wore, I could still see the muscle and thickness to her lower body.

"Yeah, you won." She shrugs her shoulders and pursed her lips. "And got my kills." The brunette motioned to the row of now three elks, due to me draining two already. I could have swore I heard a bit of sultriness laced in her tone.

"But there's a second part to your prize."

"Second part?" I mumble, letting go of the neck belonging to the elk that I was about to feed on.

Bella, at a teasing yet agonizing human pace stood up and sauntered over to me, kneeling down to my level. Her black eyes pooled into my golden eyes and her plump lips curved into a small smile.

"Jazz," Bella sighed, trailing her gaze up at the gray skies. I gulped hard, suddenly feeling the need to finish feeding. I turned my attention from her to the elk just a foot or two behind her but with a forceful tug, my back was laid onto the grassy grounds.

Her dainty hands gingerly grazed over through my honey blond waves, slowly touching my neck and jawline. She drilled holes into my eyes; it was like I could see my own reflection through her molten, black orbs.

"Jazz," there she goes again. "I feel like something changed between us."

I shook my head at the accusations. Nothing had happened between Bella and I. We went for a swim. She was my sister-in-law. Correction, is my sister-in-law. And we both are married people. I should be guilty enough for letting these fickle emotions pass through the both of us but something told me not to. Regardless, I had to take responsibility. We both have our own mates.

Alice to me and Edward to her.

I reluctantly grasped her hand that caressed my face, shaking my head at the action. Her lips unsuspectingly frowned and I felt a sudden pang of sadness drown through her mixture of emotions. "Bella," I groaned, letting out a much needed sigh. "I do not understand-"

"Jasper, you don't always have to hide yourself from others." She shot back, cutting me off. "Especially me."

I had no such idea what she meant by that... I broke the intense gaze she enticed me into but she grabbed my chin, forcing me to meet her wary stare. "Jazz," there it was. She did it once more. "You and I both know that these past few months, not just the last couple of days ever since our family left to go on vacations and visits, something changed. We've bonded more. Hunted together more often, spent time together, engaged in human activities!"

Bella didn't stop there. "We may be two completely different people but somehow... I feel like we have the most in common." - "Hell, even Emmett noticed our sudden bond. He swore you were trying to steal the role of the big brother and Bella's teddy-bear as he called it. But you and I both know it is much more than that."

All of her accusations were correct. Ever single one and just one part of me wanted to deny it all. But why had she suddenly brought this up? What made her want to take action all of a sudden? Why here and why now?

The brunette looked down, letting her hand drop from my face. If vampires were capable of producing tears, she'd do it. Sadness washed over her... and it passed onto me. Much to a more greater extent.

As if I were mechanically controlled, my eyebrows knit together and I pull her close to me. "Bella, look at me."

The brunette was as still as a statue. She felt like a block of ice in my hands. Immobile and stuck in place. She was trapping herself in a deep mental void and I had to stop it before she went too deep and could not return. I knew the feeling all too well. It happened to me once upon a time when The Major was still present.

So just as Alice helped to coach me from the dark past, I had to help her. "I admit it, Bella." I whisper softly, pulling her to sit onto my lap. "I noticed the apparent bond forming between you and I. And I must be completely honest. It was present when I first met you. After we finally returned to you when your husband forced us to leave for your safety, seven years ago. I never once actually left... I'd watch over you for your safety when Alice wasn't too suspecting."

She still did not budge. So I had to go a little deeper which would probably be something that I later regret. "I once had these thoughts... not just me... but The Major... and we-, I wished it was me who snatched you up while you was human, darlin'." I murmured that last part in her ear, taking a whiff of her sweet and tempting scent.

She took a breath, blinking her eyes once before biting nervously on her bottom lips. Her emotions were confusion and relief. "Jasper?" I did nothing but hold her close to me, because if I told her of the state she had just recovered in, it might break her.

"I admit to it all." I say again. If I could read minds, she'd be saying that I had a quick change of heart.

"I know." Huh. Her next move shocked me. "I know this will probably screw things up but we have centuries to make up for it, so just kiss me already." She shifted her body so that she was straddling me and wrapped her arms around her neck.

It was as if my mind and body were saying:

Finally.

Because my actions shocked not only myself, but her as well.

I weave my hands in her strawberry smelling, brunette hair. She tightens her arms around my neck as I trace the valley between the two plump, pink pieces of flesh with my tongue. Parting her lips, I deepen the kiss. It's like a tango, first moving slow and rhythmic and then, when we're both breathing in each others scent and our tongues collide, the kiss turns into a hot, fast dance that I never want to end.

Alice's kisses may have been sweet but I haven't felt anything from the little pixie in a long time. Bella's kisses are sensual, sexy and extremely addictive. Her strong smelling scent of strawberries, water-lilies and now even a hint of the pine-woods and strangely, vanilla are like a drug. If Emmett was right about Edward and Bella's sex life going downhill... my bronze haired brother did not know what he was missing out on. Before the either of us know it, we are pressed so firmly against each other. Still not ideal, but I hardly notice it.

Bella softly moans, which is music to my ears. My groans against her lips must have the same effect for her, as well. Her moans and kisses begin to get to me. My hands in her hair tug lightly, earning another moan from her. I'm not going to push her too far tonight. But without thinking, my hand slowly moves up her bare thigh.

"Jasper," she sighs breathlessly, as if she needed air to live and breathe.

I lean her back while my hands explore on their own. My lips caress the hollow of her neck as I ease up the hem of her navy blue top. In response, Bella rips my cardigan into two and pulls the shirt underneath over my head.

When it's off, her fingers roam over my chest and shoulders, searing my skin. "You're... perfect," she pants. Right now, I'm not gonna argue with her. Moving lower, my tongue follows a path down her silky skin, exposed to the light breeze blowing through the air. She grabs the back of my hair, urging me on. She tastes so damn good. Too good...

I pull away a few inches and capture her gaze with mine, those shining black orbs glowing with desire. Talk about perfect.

"I want you, Bella," I say, my voice hoarse. She presses against my erection, the pleasure/pain almost unbearable. I wanted just to take her so bad right then and there. And as my hands linger down lower, her body stiffens and as if it were second nature, she pushes me away. I was confused at the sudden rejection but all of a sudden, I came to realize why.

Emmett stood in his tracks at the edge of the clearing.

A/N:

Major cliff hanger!

I had to end it right there because well, I have more plans and didn't want to reveal way too much. Was this chapter good?
