"Are you sure you're ready for this?" I asked as we watched our family leave the house.

Marcus, Chelsea, and Afton were leaving the area to hunt. Everyone else was going on an overnight camping trip. I wanted them to be able to go further away than the woods behind the house but I knew it wasn't a good idea. With the kind of luck I tended to have, not to mention how much of a danger magnet Bella was, everyone refused to take the risk and stray too far from home.

"Stop asking that, Jasper. You already know the answer and I'm getting kind of tired of saying it."

"I just want you to be absolutely sure. I don't want you to have any doubts about this because once it starts there's no turning back. It won't be like when James bit you. I won't be able to do what Edward did for you."

She pulled me over to the couch and pushed me to sit, straddling my lap. She ran her fingers through my hair and leaned in placing the sweetest, softest kiss to my lips. When she tried to pull away I stopped her and gave her a much less G-rated kiss.

"Calm down, cowboy. We have all night for that. I have something to say."

I stuck my bottom lip out in a playful pout. She giggled and kissed the tip of my nose.

"I know you're worried that I'm rushing into this. Everyone seems to be worried about that but honestly nothing could be further from the truth. This is what I was born for, Jasper. I was brought into this word to be your forever. I am yours, mind, body, and soul. Becoming a vampire is part of that. I'm scared, yes, but that doesn't mean I have any doubts about it. This is what I want and I know it's what you want too."

"I just worry that there are things that you haven't experienced as a human that you'll regret some day."

"There's nothing, Jasper. The things I want to do can be done just as well, if not better, as a vampire. Besides as long as I get to experience those things with you that's all that matters. YOU are all that matters."

I took a second to search her eyes and feel her emotions. I was looking for the truth in her words and realized I didn't have to look very hard. She was sure and so was I. I was ready to bring her into her immortal life, eliminate the threats against us, and begin our life together.

"I love you so much," I told her.

"I love you, too," she said, smiling that perfect smile.

It had been suggested that I plan something special for my Bella's last day as a human. I had thought about it, trying to come up with some things I could take her to do or people I could take her to see but I came up empty. Everyone in her life that mattered to her was either gone or was already a part of the supernatural world. There was no reason for goodbyes.

I stood from my seated position, wrapping her legs more securely around my waist, and headed for the stairs. I moved at a human pace feeling no reason to rush. We had the house to ourselves for the night and I planned to put the alone time to good use. As I ascended the stairs I could feel her lips gently ghosting over the skin of my neck, then my cheek, and finally my lips. Our kisses remained slow and gentle as I opened the door to her room. Once inside I unwound her legs from around me and she slowly slid down my body until her feet hit the floor. She reached up, cupping my cheek in her small hand and gently ran her thumb over my bottom lip while giving me the most loving, adoring smile I had ever seen. She spoke volumes with that smile. She was telling me that she loved me and I made sure that my returning smile conveyed the same as I grabbed her hand and pressed my lips to the pad of her thumb.

I locked our fingers together and led her to the bathroom, letting her go long enough to turn on the water in the tub. The fireplace was already lit and the room was aglow with the soft light from the flames. I turned back to her and pulled her to me, threading my fingers into her hair and kissing her deeply. I reached down and grabbed the hem of her shirt, slowly pulling it up and then over her head. I took a moment to appreciate the barely there black lace bra she was wearing before reaching around her back and unhooking it. I leaned down and kissed her left shoulder as I pulled the strap down, then repeating the action on her right. The fabric fell from her body, the metal clasp making a very quiet clicking sound as it hit the tile floor. I reached for the waistband of her jeans, intending to rid her of those next, but she stopped me. I looked at her questioningly, not wanting to speak and break whatever spell the quiet had us under.

She placed her hands under my shirt and slowly slid them up to my chest, my shirt riding up with the movement. I raised my arms above my head and knelt down enough to allow her to remove it easily. Bella leaned in and placed her lips over the spot where my silent heart lay. Soft, open mouth kisses were placed all along my chest sending shivers down my spine. Every touch from this amazing woman made me feel like I had never been touched before.

I unbuttoned her jeans and knelt in front of her, sliding them down her legs. I placed a soft kiss to each of her thighs as I pulled her feet free of the fabric. Her panties came next and when I had her completely naked I sat back and reveled in the beauty before me. She was so perfect and she was mine.

I wanted nothing more in that moment than to place her leg over my shoulder and bury my face between her thighs, so that's exactly what I did. The room filled with soft gasps and quiet moans as I devoured her. Her fingers found their way into my hair as I slid one finger inside her. She grasped tighter and pulled lightly when I added a second. A quiet "fuck" exited her lips when a third slid in. My lips and tongue continued to work her clit as I slowly pumped my fingers in and out. Her body and her emotions warned me of her impending orgasm. Her walls clamped down and her wetness drenched my hand as she shouted my name.

The tub was full so I reached back and turned off the water and quickly removed my jeans. I lifted Bella into my arms and stepped into the tub. I sat behind her, wrapping my arms around her, and she laid her head back against my chest.

"Will it still feel like this after?" she asked.

"It will be so much better, darlin'."

A small smile played on her lips as she closed her eyes and released a quiet, contented sigh.

We soaked in the warm water until she complained of being "pruny". I got out and offered her my hand to help her so she didn't slip. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her then got one for myself. When we entered the bedroom again she walked over to the dresser and opened the top drawer where I knew she kept her bras and panties. I stepped up behind her and closed the drawer before she could reach inside.

"Jasper, what are you doing?" She asked, giggling as I nuzzled her neck. "I need to get dressed."

"No, you don't. I'm banning clothes from this room tonight. I will have to go the next three days without you and it's going to be a long time until we're left completely alone like this. I plan to take full advantage of this empty house and constantly ridding you of your offensive clothes will just take more time than I care to waste."

She grinned and took a step away from me.

"Well then we should get rid of these towels," she said.

Bella grabbed one end of hers in each hand and opened it, letting it drop to the floor. She reached for mine and untucked it from itself. The lust coming from her skyrocketed and she stood staring at me for a moment. I would never tire of the way she looked at me. She made me feel like there was no other man in the world and it did wonders for my ego. She let go of the towel and kicked it away to join hers.

"That's much better. Not exactly clothing", she mused, "but still offensive."

I grabbed her and pulled her close and kissed her hard. Bella ran her tongue along my bottom lip and I immediately granted her access. She knew to be careful so I never denied her. As her tongue slid against mine my cock sprang to life and she moaned when she felt it push against her belly. She reached down and wrapped her fingers around the head, gently running her thumb over the tip. I sighed into her mouth, loving the way her warm hand felt against my cold skin.

She pulled her mouth away from mine and I almost whimpered in protest. She placed small feather light kisses across my chest and it still amazed me that my scarred skin never bothered her. Alice had tried to ignore it when we had been intimate but there was always an underlying sense of fear and the tiniest amount of disgust when she saw me naked. I dreaded the moment that Bella awoke from her change and looked at me for the first time with vampire eyes. Her human vision could make out the scars of course, but they were so much worse to someone with our heightened senses.

I was pulled out of my depressing thoughts by the sensation of my mate running her tongue over my right nipple, then taking it between her teeth and biting down gently. I couldn't stop the low, rumbling growl that escaped me. To my surprise, and great pleasure, her lust spiked again and the scent of her arousal became more potent. My girl liked when I growled so I did it again for good measure.

Her lips continued to trace a path down my torso, kneeling as she went, until she was on her knees in front of me. The monster in me roared in delight at seeing my mate in such a submissive position. She placed the tip of her tongue against the underside of my shaft and very slowly ran it all the way up, around the head, and back down. She was teasing me and I loved it. The third time she did it she wrapped her lips around the head and swallowed as much of me down as she could. I was impressed with just how much of me she managed to take.

Her name was all I could say and it came out more of a groan. She seemed to like that as well and she hummed. Her vocal chords vibrating against her throat, and in turn my dick, created the most delicious feeling and I damn near came just from that. She had done it before but I had never been that deep in her throat before so it created a whole new sensation. She pulled back about halfway and then forward a bit further than before. She did this a few times and each time she stopped when she couldn't take anymore. It wasn't until I felt the tip of her nose hit my skin that I realized what she had been doing. When she managed to get my entire cock down her throat she swallowed around me and that was that. Not only had I never experienced having someone take all of me like that, the feeling of her throat muscles constricting around me was too much. I didn't even have time to warn her before I exploded.

My orgasm seemed to last forever and this amazing woman never moved until she knew for sure I was done. When she released me I reached down and pulled her to a standing position and crushed my mouth to hers. I wanted to throw her on the bed and bury myself inside her but I knew there would be nothing gentle or loving about that encounter if I allowed myself to do so.

A glance at the clock told me we didn't have time for that anyway. I had made arrangements to have food delivered from the Chinese place in town. She loved their food so I figured it would be an acceptable last meal.

I was forced to pull myself away from Bella's lips when I heard a car coming down the driveway.

"Find a movie for us to watch and get in bed," I told her. "I'll be right back."

I kissed the tip of her nose and left the room, stopping in my own to grab a robe.

I waited for the doorbell to ring, then waited a few seconds before answering. A human boy stood on the steps and I could feel fear coming from him as he stood waiting. I had seen him at school. His jet black hair stuck out from under his hat and I couldn't miss the slight shaking of his hand as he pushed his glasses up in nose. I was drawing a blank on his name. Not because I had forgotten but because I never bothered to learn it.

"H-hi, Jasper," he said nervously.

"Hey man, how's it going?" I replied trying to sound friendly.

"I'm good. How's Bella? None of us have seen her since the Chief's funeral and we've been worried about her. I mean with how hard she took it when you guys left and then everything with her mom and dad..." he trailed off.

"She's doing well all things considered. How much do I owe you?"

"$23.50."

I handed him a fifty. "Keep the change," I told him.

"Are you sure man? That's one hell of a tip."

"I'm sure. You have a good night."

"Thanks. Tell Bella I said hi and we all miss her."

"Will do. Goodnight."

I closed the door and waited until I heard his car pull away before heading back upstairs to Bella.

She was sitting on the bed, remote in hand, with the deep purple satin sheet wrapped around her. The dark color contrasted beautifully with her pale skin and gave her an almost ethereal look. I stood for a moment just watching her, wondering what I had done in this life that was so right that I deserved to have this gorgeous woman by my side.

She turned her head in my direction and smiled.

"Did you get me Chinese?" she asked excitedly. "It smells amazing and I'm starving!"

I chuckled at her and took her food to her, placing the bag on the bed and sitting the glass of soda on the bedside table.

"Yes I did," I answered. "And I have dessert for you later." I waggled my eyebrows suggestively and she giggled. "The delivery boy was a friend of yours from school. I don't know his name. Tall, lanky, black greasy hair, glasses. Is this ringing any bells?"

"Sounds a bit like Eric Yorkie," she said.

"That might be it. Anyway, he said to tell you hello."

She simply nodded in response and opened the bag containing the vile smelling food I knew she was about to demolish.

I sat near the foot of the bed and placed her feet in my lap. We watched her favorite super hero movie while she ate and I massaged her feet and legs. While she deserved to be pampered often it was really just an excuse for me to touch her in some way while she was occupied with her dinner.

When she finished eating she placed the bag on the floor next to the bed and stretched, yawning so hard it made her eyes water.

"Would you like to take a nap, gorgeous?" I asked her.

"Yeah I think I'd like that. Just a short one though."

She snuggled down under the sheet and I pulled a blanket up over her. I kissed her and made to get up to clean up her dinner but she grabbed the sleeve of my robe, stopping me. Her eyes were drifting closed as she spoke, indicating just how sleepy she was.

"This better be gone when I wake up," she said, tugging on my sleeve to show me she meant my robe.

"Are you just now noticing I had this on?" I chuckled. "I couldn't very well answer the door naked now could I?"

"No, I guess not. Get rid of it."

"Whatever you say, baby."

It wasn't long before her breathing evened out and she was asleep.

I slipped from the bed and picked up her discarded containers and her glass and took them to the kitchen.

While she slept I took the time to get things ready for what would occur when I woke her up. I grabbed one of my t shirts from my laundry basket that I had worn the previous day. It would smell heavily of me and I hoped that my scent would give her at least some sense of peace during her change. I doubted it would do much but any little bit would help. I found a pair of shorts from her dresser that I knew were one of her favorite pair to wear to bed. They were extremely short and tight and I loved the way her ass looked in them.

I set the items on top of her dresser so they were easily accessible to me once her change was under way and I could dress her.

None of this took very long so I decided it would be best to go for a quick hunt. I wasn't even a little thirsty but I wanted to make sure there was no chance I would lose control and drain her. I put on a good show outwardly but inside I was terrified that I was going to kill her.

I didn't bother with clothes since I could sense a deer about 20 yards behind the house. I could have it drained and be back in less than three minutes.

I felt sloshy when I stepped into the shower to wash the small traces of blood from my body. I stood under the spray allowing the hot water to beat down on my skin and relax my muscles. My body almost ached with the tension I felt over what I was about to do. A part of me wanted to just go in that room and get it over with; bite her while she slept. That, however, would disrupt her peaceful sleep and I couldn't do that. This would be the last time she ever slept, ever dreamed, and I didn't want to disturb that.

When the water ran cold I turned it off and stepped out. The towels that had been hanging in on the rack were now on the floor in the bedroom so I grabbed one form the cupboard under the sink along with an extra one and a few wash cloths, which I placed on the counter for later. Once I was dry I slid under the covers next to my gorgeous girl and started the process of waking her up so we could start our forever.
