*Jasper's POV

  "I o hunt. Meet me at Ann's house at dawn. I'll take two hours at most. You'll keep watch." I called out to Peter. There's no problem when I am with Annabell but If we're going to the school on Monday, then I o be not hungry.

  I didn't wait for his response and made my way to the bathroom.

  I quickly washed and wore fresh clothes. I didn't like leaving her alone. Even if only for few mihere is a vampire after her and already been inside her house, at least once.. The thought of a vampire, another man heless, in her bedroom made me ch my hands in fists.

  When I got back to her house, I could hear Annabell already in her room again so I jumped in through the window. Landing right in front of my angel I realized, how big of a mistake I've just made. She obviously got to the room seds before my arrival.Drops of water still hanging from the ends of her hair. Slightly glowing skin as it was still moisture. Only dark blue towel c very little of the most desirable body I've seen.

  Since I'm hungry, my instincts are more alert than usual. I groaned. "Mine!" I felt like on a hunt and Annabell was my prey in this moment. However, this wasn't hunt for blood.I couldn't stop myself, pletely unprepared for this possibility. I craved my mate as nothing before in my entire existenbsp;

  Annabell had only time to gasp in surprise as I appeared in front of her and then I had her pressed against a wall, her lips sealed with mine. Her delicious silky lips... sweet st.... strohan usual thanks to the warm water, together with the sensation of her bare skin under my hands, clouded my mind. All I could see, feel, smell... was her. I was quering her mouth, softly but passionately nibbling on her lips. A moan of pleasure escaped them, stirring my desire even more and my hands went on a journey.  Crazy with lust, I let my fingers roam Annabell's soft skin. They ran down her ned arms to e back, take a turn and ihe edge of her towel making her shiver. I didn't give her much of a spaove or breathe.  Pushing my kweehighs I grabbed her hips pulling her up even closer to me, keeping her up with one hand on the small of her back. She trembled more and more. Tasting her skin I kissed Annabell's nebsp;ate. He pushed me on. My head inning. "...no, please!" Her words somehow got to me through the veil of lust clouding my mind. They hit me apanied by a wave of fear she felt. That worked like an ice cold shower and realization of what I was doing, hit me like a trubsp;

  I was frozen in pce, holding Annabell's beautiful body trembling in fear, somewhat still suspended in the air, half sat on my thigh and her back pressed to the wall. Her hands were shaking, balled in fists but firmly at her sides. Her eyes closed and a tear making its way down her pink cheek.

  What have I done?! I promised I wouldn't hurt her, yet I was doing just that...again. Finally having a hold of my senses I wao help her calm down. "Don't." She said in a small voice, hugging herself. It felt as if the waves of calm I sent her crushed into an invisible barrier and at the same time I couldn't feel anything from her anymore either. What? How? Didn't matter now. Why? Why you didn't use yht to stop me? I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. I knew why. She was scared of hurting me, even though I was hurting her. I cursed myself. I did not deserve someone as good and pure as her.

  Gently pig her up I carried still trembling Ao her bed. Grip of her hands around her middle tightened when I was slowly putting her down on the sheets. I could tell she expected the worst from me now. I've done what I was worried about from the very moment I met this angel. I made her afraid of me.

  As I id her down I gently draped a b around her body to warm her up, in hope it helps to settle her down, even if just a little bit.

  I k on the ground beside the bed. "I'm so sorry, my angel." I finally got out of myself. My voice raspy and full of guilt that I felt. She'll never five me... Ran through my head and I let it hang low in shame of my own behaviour.

  Few moments went by until I heard her breathing abeat to slow down to normal rate. "I guess it isn't that surprising." She started, her voice quiet and somewhat relut. "You didn't hunt for a week. When I went to shower I fot t clothes with me. I also didn't expect you to be back so soon..." she trailed off for a moment. Now looking apologetic. "I suppose none of my as past few days helped your hu all. But you didn't bite me, so... thank you."

  My head shot up in surprise. I was so fused. '..didn't help your hunger but you didn't bite me'... Did she think I was going to-? Her blood smells amazing to me, but like the most favourite flower, not food. "I'd never feed on you, Ann!" I decred, however it came out just as a whisper. I reached out to caress her cheek. She frowned a little but didn't move away. My hunger... Yes, it was true, she uionally drove me crazy. But with different huhahought. Your innoce will be the death of mine, for sure.

  "I do have to hunt, tomorrow m though. Peter should arrive at dawn."

  I saw disappoi cross her beautiful face. "I won't be long." I promised, standing up. "I will stand guard outside today." I leao her for a light goodbye kiss but stopped when I saw her body stiffen again and reached for her hand instead. Pg a gentle kiss on the back of it. "Please five me, my beloved. If you ." I whispered and leaped out of the window.
