*Jasper’s POV

  The ride home was quiet but pleasant. Annabell seemed lost in thought, yet she stayed calm. In an attempt to stay with her a little longer, for once I kept all the speed limits. Unsure of whether Annabell would still care for my pany after we arrived. If anything, the kiss outside the restaurant and her feelings were a good sign that she didn’t hate me. That still didn’t mean she’d fivehough.

  “I don’t want to see this…” Mumbled suddenly Annabell when we passed the Forks sign.

  fused, I turo her. “What do you…” My voice trailed off. Annabell’s eyes were closed, her breathing deep and regur and aside from a slight frown, she was pletely rexed in her seat. I smiled to myself. She was talking in her sleep. Today sure was eventful… Crossed my mind. Not wanting to wake her up, after parking by her house, I unbuckled her seatbelt and took my sleeping mate carefully in my arms.

  “Don’t touch me...too warm.” Murmured Annabell again, making me curious what she was dreaming about. Something in her dream seemed to be making her angry.

  I brought her to her room. There was a ly ed box on her bed. Who could this present e from? I frowned and pced it on her bed table so I could y her down. However, before I could let go of her, she grabbed onto my jacket and pulled me closer. “Mine.” She said, still fast asleep, yet not loosening her grip on my clothes.

  “Woah!” It surprised me and I nearly fell on top of her. Thank God for vampire reflexes. I thought, managing to not squish her underh me.

  “Mmh…Jay?” Her eyes slowly opened and I heard her heartbeat qui.

  “Yes, angel? Finally awake?” I chuckled.

  “Yeah…Wait, are we in my bed?” Her cheeks turned red when she realized that she’s been clutg my jacket. “Oh no!” She quickly let go and hid her face with her hands. “What did I do? I did something, didn’t I?” Sitting up, I had to ugh.

  “You seemed to have an iing dream. Want to tell me about it?” Annabell put her hands down from her face but bit her lip and didn’t answer. “You know, sometimes you talk in your sleep, love. Tell me, what you didn’t want to see? And what was too warm?” I was most curious about the st part and wao know if the st word she spoke was really meant to me, but I knew her too well to ask about it directly. She’d never answer.

  Slightly shocked, she covered her mouth, blushing deeply and I waited. Annabell sat up too. “Errr… I saw you, with some girls. They were all over you and… you kept smiling at them. Then I felt the hands of the guy from today on me again.” A half smile tugged at her lips when she tinued. “This time I mao knock him out. I was gd because you were too busy with the irls until I-” She stopped herself, biting on her lip again.

  “Until you what, angel?” I asked, although I had a pretty good idea, thanks to what happened a moment ago.

  Beiubborn self, she tried to deny it. “Nothing! I-I left!” She lied.

  I leao her ear, trapping her between my arms. “That’s not what you did, Ann and you know it.” I heard her breathing momentarily stop when my lips touched her bare skin on her shoulder.

  “No way…You heard that too?” She breathed out in disbelief, uanding that I was aware of her lie.

  “Say it again…” I loo hear her say it for real. To reassure myself, that I didn’t just imagihe possessiveness I sensed from her earlier.

  Annabell hesitantly pulled away from my touch as my lips trailed along her o the soft spot behind her ear. “Since you heard me, there’s o repeat myself.” She spoke quietly. Suddenly, she started searg the bed for something. “Oh no, where is it?”

  ed, I straightened up. “What’s wrong, angel?”

  For a moment she seemed to ignore me, while tinuing her search. “I umm… there should be a small box on the bed somewhere. I know I left it here!” She was frantically searg the space around her, starting to panic.

  “Ann, calm down.” I caught her hands. She looked like she was about to cry. “Is this what you’re looking for?” I asked, reag for the box I put on her bed table before and pced it gently in her hands.

  Surprised, she ied it for a sed and thehed a sigh of relief. “Yes, that’s it.” She replied with a small smile, making me curious again.

  “Who is it from?” I couldn’t keep from asking, hoping to sound casual. From the way she acted whehought it’s go must have been from someone important to her and I felt restless.

  However, instead of answering she giggled and stood up from the bed, walking slowly to the window. “What was it you told me? Ah, yes. That I’m really cute when jealous.” Annabell opehe window and turned bae with a grin. “Could you perhaps be jealous too, Mr Whitlock?” She asked teasingly.

  When I stepped to her, her smile wavered as she expected my rea. I’ve e to learn that the best way with her was to be pletely ho. “Of course I am, angel.” I admitted, pulling her gently to me by her waist. “The thought of you in the hands of another man makes my blood boil.” When I fouoday with that bastard’s hand in her dress, I wao kill him and if I didn’t have to first stop the other one from hitting her, I probably would. That was against her will though. Was there someone else? Someone she would allow to touch her like that?

  Annabell felt happy…? “I’m gd.” Her smile widened and she reached up to pce her warm hand on my cheek. “Because the only hands I want to be in are yours, darling. This” She lifted her hand with the small box. “is from me. Happy birthday.” Before her words could sink in, she put her hands around my ned pulled herself up a bit before her lips met mine.

  I was shocked that she knew about my birthday but how, mattered very little to me right now. Did she just say that she wants only me? My worries vanished, repced by happiness as I pulled her closer, returning her kiss. Deepening it, I caressed her hip, letting my hand slide down to her sexy ass and lightly squeezed. I felt her desire rise alongside my own and her fingers found their way to my hair.

  Tenderly sug on her lower lip I left her mouth and trailed with my lips along her jaw to her ear. “ I hope that this means you are no lry with me, angel?” I inquired quietly, nibbling on her earlobe.

  She shivered, stifling a moan. “Yes.” Breathed out Annabell and I slowly kissed down her o her colrbone. “Mmm… Don’t you…want mmm… ”

  “Oh, I want a lot of things.” I teased her with my lips on her skin.

  “...Open the present.” She mao finish her sentend revive my curiosity.

  “Having trouble speaking, my love?” I kept teasing her. But seeing the effect my touch had on her, just made me want her more.

  “And whose fault is it-nh?” She shot bad I kissed her to sileny more possible pints before relutly pulling away to take the small box from her hand.

  After getting the paper off and opening the box, I found a silver oval belt buckle decorated with a rose and peared to be a rope around it. It was beautiful. “I… wanted you to have something that would remind you of me.” Spoke Annabell quietly, nervously biting on her lip. Pg the box with buckle on the desk, I pulled Annabell gently bae. “Thank you, angel.” I kissed her forehead. “Even though I don’t pn on being away from you long enough to need a reminder, I do love it.” She was happy again and gave me such a loving smile, I thought my heart would melt with the warmth I felt. Leaning to her, I lightly brushed my cheek against hers. “Ann please, tell me what you said in that dream of yours.” I whispered and savoured the wave of desire she felt when my lips touched the soft spot on her neck.

  She just shook her head and I decided to py a little tri her. “Hmmm…” I hummed in disappoi while my lips made their way to her colrbone. “Maybe that little waitress would.” I teased her and attempted to take a step back, away from Annabell.

  She immediately grabbed my suit jacket like before. “No, you’re mine!” She excimed. Then, realizing what she said, turned bright red a go.

  Hearing her say it sciously and with such possessiveness, I loo cim her right there. “See…” I ed my arms around her. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?” I asked, leaning down to her neck again while caressing her exposed skin on her back. Her dress was simply awesome. It not only looked amazing on her, it also gave me access to so much of her skin without being undressed.

  “You…mmhm…you did that on purpose-ah…” She tried to sound angry, but there was nothing to back it up in her emotions and a moan escaped her when I cupped her breast in my hand, gently stroking its taut top with my thumb.

  “Guilty as charged…” I mumbled into her soft skin as my lips traveled down to her cleavage. Annabell’s fiugged on my suit in an attempt to pull it off of me, so I quickly took it off and pressed her to me again. My lips found her sweet and hot ones while my hands roamed her deliciously voluptuous form. Annabell worked her way down through the buttons on my shirt and then her pleasantly warm hands explored my bare chest. That sensation caused a tent purr to vibrate in my throat.

  Her lips left mine and slowly made their way over my jaw, down to my neck. It felt as amazing as the first time she did that and my hand slipped under her dress through the split, reag to gently grab her peach shaped treasure. She delicately moaned, pressing herself to me while her mouth veo my shoulder as she slowly pulled my shirt off of them. “Ann…” I softly groaned, sav her every touch. “May I?” I asked for firmation that she was ok with progressing some more as I lightly tugged oin ribbon on her dress.

  “Yes.” She agreed with a heavy breath and after I disposed of my shirt pletely as it seemed to be getting in her way, I uhe thin ribbon and her dress smoothly slid down from her mesmerizing body. No matter how many times I saw her, she always took my breath away. She was standing before me only in bck ce panties and I fought the urge to tear them off her.

  “You’re seous, angel.” I reassured her when she shyly bit her lip. Pulling her gently bae by her waist, she lightly shivered when our bodies touched. Skin on skin. “Are you cold?” I asked, worried but she shook her head and pressed herself even closer to me.

  “No. I ’t really expin it but you don’t feel cold nor too warm to me. Your touch is just… perfect.” Admitted Annabell, pg her hands on my shoulders and I cupped her head to kiss her. Caressing her back all the way down, I reached under her perfect ass and pulled her up to me. Just like this m, when she lost ground under her feet, she locked them around my waist. “Jay!” She excimed, pulling from our kiss, slightly panicked.

  Keeping her up with one hand under her ass, I lightly pced my other hand on her cheek. “Rex, love. I won’t let you fall. Nor do anything you don’t want to. So tell me if you wao stop, alright?” She was a little worried but still felt the same desire. Annabell’s hands not once reached below my waist and I took that as a sign that she wasn’t ready tress that way. Therefore I kept my pants on, to help her feel more at ease. However, I wao show her other depts of love tonight if she allowed me to.

  Annabell slowly rexed into me. I knew she trusted me and I swore to myself that I’ll do whatever it might take to not betray her trust. Keeping her in my arms, I walked over to her bed and sat down with her on my p as she was. In this position, she could feel how much I longed for her and got a little restless but quickly calmed down again, putting her arms around my neck. “I love you so much.” I whispered and sealed her lips with mine. Her tongue came to meet mine in a sensual dand her fingers ran through my hair.

  With one hand I kept her close to me, stroking her back while my other hand ran along her soft curves down to her thigh and under her khen bad up her ft stomach to her full breast. Annabell moaned into my mouth when I stroked its taut . Teasingly nibbling on her lower lip, I tio kiss her all the way down her neck. Making a trail of kisses over her colrboo her cleavage, she slightly arched back to give me better access to her beautiful chest. I buried my fa the soft valley between those tender, warm hills and took a deep breath of her sweet aing st.

  “Jasper…” I heard her breathe out as I cupped the lovely weight of one of them in my hand and when my lips enveloped its pink tip, she gave a loud moan and covered her mouth.

  I couldn’t tolerate that, gently taking her hand in mine. “Let me hear you, love. I want to hear how much you like my touch.” Leaning down again I lightly sucked her nipple in my mouth, earning another sweet moan from her lips. It was musiy ears.

  My hand from her back slid to her ass to press her to my yearning body and my toroked the taut of her breast. She moaned again, clutg the bay head. I slowly stood up and carefully id her on the bed, not letting go of her. I stole another kiss from her lips and sh every inch of her creamy skin with kisses, I tinued down to her stomach. My hands took turns in caressing her legs, all the way to her ao take off her shoes, and stroking her ihighs on the way back to her breasts. “Please…” Annabell moaned when my lips reached the ce of her panties.

  “Do you wao stop?” I mumbled against her skin. I sehat that wasn’t what she leading for but I wanted her to say it and stroked one of her nipples again.

  “Ah!…no. Please… don’t stop…” Moaning, she pleaded once more. I could feel her desire with pleasure and smelled her excitement. Her st of roses was intoxig. Pulling the small piece of ce down her legs, the sweet st of her arousal made my head spin. Slowly kissing my from her knee, over her ihigh, I gave myself time tain trol ao prepare or ge her mind.

  Her desire grew with every kiss closer to the source of her alluring st. When my toroked the hot and tender spot between her legs, Annabell’s moans grew louder as she gripped the sheets and her hips jerked up. My head spinned again with the wave of pleasure it caused her and I grabbed her hips to steady us both while I kept repeating it to get more from her. Oh my beloved… Annabell’s i screams of pleasure as she thrashed about in respoo my tongue’s movements, were satisfying of their own. Feeling her pleasure itself, I was nearly undone. “Jay…Ah!”

  With aroke of my tongue over her womanhood she arched above the bed as she screamed and the force of pleasure from her climax made me grip the bed’s frame to steady myself so I wouldn’t hurt her. Thankfully it was made of iron. If it was wooden, it would shatter uhe pressure. I still felt the dents my fingers created. ate! My head inning and my self trol was hanging by a thread.

  Annabell’s heart beat like a bell and breathing heavily, she was slowly ing back from the heights of pleasure her asm took her to. She shakily reached for me but I khat her touow would cause me to betray her trust. I felt her climax nearly as my own and since I still didn’t cim her, with her alluring st thi the room, all I could think about was burying myself in her hot, wet softness while sinking my teeth into the creamy skin on her neck.

  With the st of my willpower I darted to the window and closed my eyes. That didn’t really help me. Even with my eyes closed, all I could see was her. “Jasper…?” I heard her hesitantly call my name.

  *Annabell’s POV

  Like I told him. His touch felt perfee. Somehow he knew py body I didn’t and his every touch caused my body to burn and yearn more. His mouth and hands were everywhere and I found myself pleading. irely sure what for.

  “Do you wao stop?” Jasper’s mouth was currently at the edge of my panties and as he spoke with his lips barely leaving my skin, the tiny vibrations of his voice made the heat between my legs rise. I found that the unfamiliar longing which grew to bee a force of its own by now, was tered there. Just when my miered the meaning behind his questioroked one of my nipples again.

  “Ah!…no. Please… don’t stop…” I should probably feel embarrassed to have him hear me moan like this. To let him make me moan like this. And I should be ashamed that I’m literally pleading for more but I couldn’t find it in me. He was making me feel beautiful, powerful yet weak, longing for more of his touch.

  He wanted me to repeat my cim on him so much, he tricked me into saying it. The thought that he would really go and seek out the rude waitress made me so angry. I said that he’s mi right now it was me at his mercy, begging him. His lips were t me. They were moving so slowly up my thigh I thought I'd lose my mind. However, when they finally reached the ter of the fire that kept ing me, I felt like I did lose it.

  I thought that his mouth might help to ease the yearning I felt but it did the opposite. Every move of his lips and tongue caused the yearning to grow even more. I dug my fingers into my bed sheets in hope to stop the feverish twitg of my body in respoo his touch which kept on sending waves of indescribable pleasure throughout my being to my fiips. When I couldn’t take it anymore and screamed his here came a sweet release.

  Very slowly ing bay senses I loo embrace Jasper. To tell him how incredibly amazing it was and how much I loved him. But when I reached my hand out to him, his weight disappeared from the bed. Sensing him he window, not uanding his rea, I tried to call for him. “Jasper…?” My heart still lightly fluttered from the ecstasy I just experienced yet an uneasy feeling started to settle in my stomach with his prolonged silence.

  “Did I… do something?” Worry that he would leave after all, tightened my throat.

  “No, love-” He finally spoke up. However, just then a whistle could be heard from outside and with an angry growl, Jasper jumped out.
