I'm back for a bit! Warning: This one is short, there are suggestive implications, and talks of hickeys. Enjoy! ^-^

~Chapter Seven~

Jumping into the pool, the water breaks around me, I surface with a breath of fresh air, glancing over at Grace, who is sitting a few feet from the edge of the indoor pool, glancing over the top of her book as she reads quietly. Her blue, purple, green, and orange patched two piece swimsuit completely dry, she has a pair of fake prescription glasses sit on the edge of her nose, and her fingernails have now been painted a teal color. "Why don't you come swim with me?" I ask.

"You're bored." Grace answers as I turn on my back, slowly floating through the water.

"Am not. It's just more fun to swim with others." I look over at her. "Come on, Grace."

"No, I don't think so. I'm enjoying my Alice in Wonderland book." She responds, causing me to smirk. Grace and I had gotten rather close over the past few weeks (Jasper had wanted me to stay longer, just in case Victoria came back), so our teasing and understanding of each other has become rather normal, than we'd care to admit.

"Sure sure. Whatever you say, Chesh." Grace looks at me with a 'Really?' look, causing me to laugh, dunking into the water to do a backflip, before surfacing again, before I resurface, wiping water from my eyes after smoothing back my hair from my face, and swimming over to the side of the pool, climbing out to towel off, before Grace stands, and we start up to the hotel room, where I shower, and dress in the bathroom, blow drying my hair, before I exit the room to find a loud silence over the room. Looking up from tying my belt around my waist, I freeze as Jasper stands in the doorway, his eyes on my face as he smirks, my eyes burn with unshed tears as I swallow thickly.

"Hey, darlin." He breathes, causing me to throw myself across the gap, wrapping my arms around his shoulder, pressing my lips to his own. "Careful, darlin, please." He breathes out, causing me to pull back, looking into his eyes, only to find they're almost black.

"You haven't been feeding." I state, causing him to drop his head, sheepishly smiling as I press a hand to his cheek, leaning my forehead to his. "You need to stop, every time we're apart, you stop feeding! It hurts too much, to see you do something like this."

"I'm sorry. I love you." He says, causing me to sigh, smiling up at him.

"I love you too." My brow furrows as I narrow my eyes at him. "You did not just mood me!"

"I may have." He chuckles, pressing a kiss to my lips, before shrug my bag over his shoulder. "Ready to go?" He asks.

"Almost." I slip on my shoes, looking around the hotel room.

"Where are Peter, Charlotte, and Grace?" I ask in confusion.

"They already left." He answers, causing me to frown.

"But, they could've stayed another day. That's how long you paid for." I respond, causing him to chuckle, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"You don't need to worry about that, darlin." I shake my head as I look him in the eye, crossing my arms, and frowning.

"It's a waste of money. I hate waste." I state, causing him to sigh.

"You're stubbornness. Why don't you stay here, while I go hunt? We can stay this final night." He offers, causing me to smile up at him, nodding once.

"Okay, hurry back. I'll make myself some dinner." He chuckles, leaning down to peck me on the lips, before vanishing, my bag beside the door. Crossing into the kitchenette, I start to make a lobster bisque, feel rather fancy as I set a table for one, and put the bisque on my plate, eating and cleaning, before I sit on the couch in the living room, the lights out as I turn on Beauty and the Beast, sitting with my arm around my knees.

"Again, darlin?" I jump at the sound of his voice, turning to find Jasper walking around the side of the couch, looking sheepish as he sits down. "Sorry, I hadn't meant to scare you."

"It's the only movie you brought me." I answer, looking back at the flat screen.

"We can rent a movie, darlin." He grabs the remote, just as Belle screams in the Beast's face, flipping the tv over to cable, and changes it to an on demand channel, where we read the titles, before renting Pride and Prejudice, and Jasper wraps his arm around my shoulder, while we lay on the couch together, my head on his chest as the movie plays.

"Mr Collin's is a rather odd man." I state, as Jasper chuckles. "He's also desperate. Why would he marry his cousin? I mean, in this time it was obviously normal, but he could settle with anyone else. Why a cousin?"

"You always ask such odd questions." Jasper says, before quiet settles over us once more, watching the movie again.

"Mr Darcy's being rude, and arogant. Asking for Elizabeth's hand, but claiming he isn't happy about it. It's as if he's being forced to marry her." I state. "I don't see why there are so many girl's in love with the idea of having their own Mr. Darcy."

"There is obviously more to him, than what meets the eye. He's merely an idea, I suppose you could say." Jasper explains, causing me to frown.

"I would rather have you, than a Mr. Darcy. No matter what." I state, causing him to chuckle.

"And I'd rather have you, than an Elizabeth Bennett." He answers, causing me to smile, leaning down to press my lips to his own, he wraps his arms around my waist, shifting so that we're sitting up, he settles me in his lap, my legs on either side of his waist, and my fingers tangle in his hair as he lightly nips at my lip. Granting him access, his tongue caresses my own, drawing a soft whimper from my mouth, we pull apart as I gasp for air, his lips attach to my neck, and he stands, walking us to the bedroom with my legs around his waist. He lows me onto the bed, kissing me again as I unbutton the rows of buttons on his shirt, letting it fall open as we pull apart, and I run my hand over his chest, his burning eyes closing contently.

"I love you." I tell him, causing him to smile down at me, chuckling hoarsely as he presses his forehead to my own.

"And, I love you." He answers, kissing again as we fall back into the sheets.

The sun filters through the windows, rousing me softly from my sleep, though the cool hand trailing up and down my naked back doesn't help much, it's instead, lulling me back towards the unconsciousness as I keep my eyes shut. "Darlin, I know you're awake. Your breathing shifted." Jasper breaths in my ear, his hand moves from the small of my back, to wrap around my middle, and pull me closer as he presses a kiss to the back of my neck, trailing his lips across the skin there in a tingling pattern, stopping as I roll over to smile softly at him, my legs aching a bit as he rubs at my other arm, his brow furrowing as I look down, finding a purpling spot there. "I don't remember grabbing you that tight." He frowns.

"Jasper," I let out a raspy laugh, my throat a bit sore from the previous night. "that's a hickey!" I explain, causing his frown to shift to a look of understanding.

"Oh, in that case." He bends down, kissing me on the lips, then slowly stands from the bed, already in a pair of jeans, his hair is completely tousled, and I giggle as I watch the hickeys that I gave him, quickly disappear due to the sparkling of his skin in the light, but also due to the vampire healing. Slowly sitting up, my eyes follow the path of hickeys that trail down my chest and stomach, even across my hips and legs.

"Jasper, they're everywhere!" I cry, looking over to find him smirking, rather happily as he rounds the bed, kissing me softly, before grabbing his fresh button-down shirt from the chair beside the bed, but I snatch it out of his hand, shrugging it on as I walk around the room, gathering yesterday's clothes, to stick them in a bag, before I grab a new change, shooting Jasper a pointed look, before I enter the shower. Showering quickly, I dress in blue jeans, and a long sleeve, black, off the shoulder shirt, before I pull on my boots, and shrug on my leather jacket, braiding my hair as I step out of the bathroom. "You're impossible." I state, causing him to chuckle.

"Found the ones on your back?" He asks cheekily.

"Yes." I pout, crossing my arms over my chest, pursing my lips as he chuckles, shrug my bag on his shoulder, and wraps an arm around my waist, causing a shiver to run up my spine as he escorts me from the room, down from the elevator, and out the front door, only stopping to pay for the room, before we climb in the car, driving away. Back towards home.

Jasper's a little stinker, in this chapter, innit he? Anyway, please tell me what you think! 2 reviews equal a new chapter. Read, review, and Enjoy.
