Chapter thirteen
I knew exactly when the Major left and my Jasper was back. It was subtle almost unrecognizable but it was there in his voice and in his touch. Anyone else probably wouldn't have noticed the change but I knew. He was commanding but not demanding, forceful but not rough. 'Turn this way Isabella, lean your head back and raise your leg' changed to 'do you like that, does it feel good Darlin' and you look so sweet and taste even sweeter'. My Jasper. I missed him so much. He was tender and soft spoken with me. He washed my body and hair. He dried me off with the towel and carried me to the bed purring the whole way.
We made love softly and slowly. We spent time memorizing each other's bodies. It was heaven, pure and simple.

"Darlin'? We should probably talk about the plans now." Jasper said as he kissed my shoulder and stroked my arm.
"Okay, what are they? I'm sure we're not going in there guns a blazing so to speak." I replied.
"No. Stealth is definitely key." He chuckled.
"Who is coming with us?"
"Well I invited a few friends that have been in a few fights and know how to handle themselves around newborns, but there are a couple of suggestions that I'm not sure you're going to like." Jasper said skirting around the subject.
"Just rip the band-aid off and get it over with."
"Huh?" Jasper so eloquently replied.
"Come now baby after living in the same house as Emmett you can't possibly tell me you never heard the human expression on television or something? Or better yet I'm sure our resident pervypire has said a few strange phrases in his time?!" I countered.
"I heard that and I'm not a perv." Came Peter's voice from the other side of the floor.
"A. Yes you are otherwise you wouldn't know I was talking about you. B. Stay out of my conversation." I spoke towards the door.
"Just trying to clear the air." Peter retorted.
"Char!"
"On it baby girl!" WHACK! "Ow woman, that shit hurts!"
"Well you deserved it, perv. Now get back her and finish what you started." Char replied.
I had to laugh that shit was too funny.
"Do I want to know?"
"No baby just go back to telling me who is coming." I said.
"Okay, well Garrett, Randall and Mary are nomad friends of mine. Also there are a couple of nomads from the Southern Wars that Peter keeps in touch with . AlsoEmmettandRosaliearecomin gtoseeyou." The last part spoken at vampire speed.
"I'm sorry care to repeat that last part a bit slower. You know the part about Emmett and Rosalie." I replied.
He sighed. "Emmett and Rosalie are coming to see you."
"What?"
"Peter said we needed them and I spoke to them and they're really excited to see you."
"So you called them and asked them to come and told them about me without discussing it with me first?"
"Well in all honesty, it was the Major that called them."
"Nice cop out Jasper, you're lucky we already made love because I would have cut you off for that comment."
"So are you going to be okay with meeting them?" Jasper asked quietly.
"Well what choice do I have, we need the numbers and I'm sure Em is chomping at the bit to see me. Rosalie on the other hand not so much."
"Actually Rose is really excited about seeing you. It's me she's pissed off at but once I explained that you were my mate she calmed down."
"Rosalie Hale is actually excited to see me?"
"Yes, she hated how Edward was possessive of you and never let anyone near you. She's angry at me though for changing you. She would have rathered you live a full life with kids and all that." Jasper replied.
"So when do they get here?" I asked.
"They're not coming here. They will meet us in Forks."
"Forks? Why are we going to Forks." I asked.
"Well that's the other thing, Peter doesn't know why but the wolves are going to help us as soon as you talk to them." Jasper hedged.
"Jasper I'm a vampire now, a human drinking vampire. I'm their immortal enemy. Why would they listen to me?"
"Because your fuck hot and smell delicious!" Said a red-eyed vampire from the doorway.
Jasper growled and positioned himself in front of me. Why I don't know this vampire had already seen my entire naked body. Jasper must have switched to Major mode because even though the strange vampire in the doorway was laughing and trying ogle me more he had also crouched down into a half submissive/half defensive stance.
"Garrett you ass stop trying to eye fuck my mate." Major growled.
Ah this was Garrett, one nomad down. Two more to go, hopefully I will be completely clothed with the other two.
"Now now Major, I can't help it that she is naked and you weren't paying attention. I think this is the first time in about fifty or sixty years that I got the drop on you. I plan on teasing you for a bit longer." Garrett chuckled.
"GODDAMMIT I said quit ogling her. She's mine and mine alone. Get out now before I do something you won't like." Major bellowed.
Major creeped towards Garrett and Garrett countered every step. I took the opportunity with them both distracted to quickly wrap the bed sheet around my body. Too bad I didn't pay attention the air I rustled when moving off of the bed. Both of them snapped their attention back to me and got a clear view of the left side of my body when I stepped down off of the bed. Garrett whistled and Major growled, then lunged at Garrett.
I quickly raised a shield around Garrett and Major slammed into the shield creating the blue shimmer. Garrett stared at the shimmer in awe and froze in his place not knowing what to do. Major slowly turned back to me and demanded that I lower the shield so that he could proceed to dismember Garrett.
"Isabella, remove the shield at once. He needs to be taught a lesson." Major scowled at me.
"No. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that we needed help to get Arianna back. How do you propose we do that if you dismember all your nomad friends in the process?" I questioned.
"But he saw you naked and keeps pressing my buttons. I need to at least hurt him a little." He begged.
"When we get to Forks and you show the wolves how to fight, then you can hurt him a little. No limb removals though." I stated.
"What? At least give me a hand or something."
"Major we need him at full strength, no limb or partial limb removals." I amended.
"Thank you sweet cheeks, I'm quite partial to my limbs staying right where they are." Garrett interjected while Major growled.
"Garrett just because I said no removals now doesn't mean that I won't change my mind later on." I reached through the shield and patted his cheek. "Be a good boy or you get to be both the Major's and the wolves practice newborn once we get to Forks." I said as I tip toed to the Major to kiss him on the cheek before turning to the closet. "Now if you don't mind I need to get dressed because I hear two more vampires coming up the driveway. I'm assuming that would be Randall and Mary, right?!"
"She's right Major, get dressed and meet us downstairs. And don't go marking her again, you don't have time for that shit." Peter replied from the hall.
"From the looks of her, he's running out of places to mark her. I especially like the one on the side of her perfect looking breast. I wonder if it's as soft as it looks." Garrett rambled walking down the hall.
"Careful Garrett you're skating on thin ice right now. You don't want me to bring out Aries do you because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't survive that match up." I called from the closet.

"Why do I hear a heartbeat in a house full of vampires? Did you all start bringing supper home instead of eating out?" Randall asked.
"That heartbeat you are referring to belongs to my best friend and you will not harm one hair on her head or you will have hell to pay." I said while swaying my hips upon entering the living room.
"What makes you think you can actually hurt me pumpkin? You're about the size of a minute and look to fragile to boot." Randall countered.
"I wouldn't if I were you Randall, she's only a few days old and could easily overpower you." Peter stated.
"Seriously, she's days old with a human in the house and she has this much control. What is she?" He asked.
"Is that scent coming from her?" Mary asked.
"She is a succubus and my mate so back off." Jasper growled again.
"Bullshit! Why aren't we drooling all over her then?" Randall called out.
"She's also a physical and mental shield and is currently blocking her allure from all of us." Charlotte spoke.
"Mary, my name is Bella Whitlock. It's a pleasure to meet you both. I just want to apologize in advance and I hope you won't be angry with me. I won't hurt him, much." I winked at Mary before spinning behind Randall sweeping his legs as I went. I kicked him in the back as he went down and grabbed hold of his arms pulling them behind his back while I kept a knee securely dug into his spine.
"Okay Randall and Garrett, I'll only say this once so use your vampire memory and pay attention. Angela is the human and my best friend, she is off limits. No biting, licking, sucking or nibbling. No sampling of any kind. If you break my rule, I will bring out Aries to kill you or at least maim you. As for my allure I will give everyone a demonstration in a bit and in turn you can see my shield. Any questions?"
