Chapter 20: Quiet Time and Saying Goodbye
JPOV:
She was sleeping peacefully now, with Peter massaging her lower back to keep the cramps down. It freaked me the hell out when I first felt her pain, thinking somehow Peter or I had hurt her. The only thing that stopped me from rushing in there to her, was her whispering to us what was happening.
Poor little thing couldn't get comfortable, but didn't ask me to help ease the pain. I so wanted to help her. I explained to her that the heating pad wouldn't bother either of us, that she needed her rest. Then she finally gave in, crawling on top of me to get comfortable.
She's been doing real good about keeping her feelings open to me, and I'm so proud of her. She hasn't closed up to shield herself once since Peter got here. And Peter... wow. He's so good with her. I know he loves her as much as I do.
To hear that she needed him to claim her was a shock. I felt the need, but thought it was directed at me. When she said it, though, it felt right. There was no jealousy. She truly needed it, and he definitely let her know she was his. His passion for her was so consuming, yet he showed her without harming her. I could see and feel the restraint he was using... he truly wanted to bite her like is normal with mates, but he didn't break the skin. That took a lot of restraint, and is why I try not to bite her at all when I am close to cumming.
Then this love day. My word. I'm still kicking myself for that. I should have known his claiming her so fully would force her into one, but she's human for fuck sake! We couldn't have known. Just like we couldn't have known that she would be so utterly unique, having three mates. It's unheard of. This has to be part of a prophecy somewhere.
I was broken from my train of thought by Peter saying, “How are ya doin' with all this, Major?”
He was worried I'd be upset with him. Ah, hell, Pete.
I pushed my love and trust to him as I said, “I couldn't have asked for two better people to be her mates with, Pete... and now I'm positive that I get to have you in my life fully, no holds barred, for eternity. I couldn't be happier. I just worry that her little human body won't be able to take much more. She so strong, but she's going through so much to be with us. We really need to see if we can find out if there's a prophecy relating to her. I'm sure there must be. She's so unique... somebody must have foreseen something, you know?”
Peter changed the direction slightly on her back, eliciting a sigh of content from her. “So much has happened in such short a time, that we really weren't able to talk fully on what the shaman told me. He said that he personally didn't know the prophecy, but that he knew of someone who did. There is one of a true elemental comin'. I told ya what he said of her powers. He told me where the person lived, and I was on my way there when I got the feelin' I was needed here instead. I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time when I got your call. We have to keep her calm and happy until we get settled in Texas. I don't want her to be in a position where she needs Char, but we can't get her there in time. I know her little body couldn't handle that overload. It would be better for her if the first time they were together didn't happen to be durin' an episode, either. I don't know when I'll get to see the guy with the prophecy, but we need to take care of her first. As soon as there's time and it's safe, we'll all make the trip to see him.”
He took a breath, then said, “The shaman also wishes to gift Little One, if we would allow it. I told him I would relay the offer to her and her mate, but well, I am one of three of her mates now. I have a feelin' he knew somethin' about that, but didn't tell me. He's wise and trustworthy. I know he wouldn't gift her anythin' harmful to her or us. We've sat in council many times over the years, but he’s never once steered me wrong. He was the one who told me when it was finally time to get ya out of Maria's fucked up hell of a life. Either way, I feel it would be beneficial to let him gift her, but after we know the prophecy. As for Little One bein' my mate also, I just need ya to know that I would never hurt her. I know ya know my feelin's for her, but I need to say it, Major. I am hopelessly head over heels for Isabella. I'd die for her... ya know that.”
I raised a hand to cup his cheek for a second, then he continued, “I really expected her to only be with Char and me when there was a need. I never expected her to need me as a mate. She's totally thrown me for a loop with my gift, because nothin' happened like I was feelin' it would. I would never step on your bond with her. I hope ya know that. I love ya too, Jasper. All of ya. I so wanted to claim ya tonight like she said. I wanted to, but I was afraid it could be too much… that she would get hurt. Ya aren't upset about that, are ya?”
I lifted my hand back to his cheek, stroking it as I assured him, “I wanted it, too, Pete. I'm glad you waited, though. We need to make sure what happened to her today doesn't happen to any of us. Let our love days happen with her first, then we can build our bond. We just need to make sure when our love days happen, that we're extremely careful. The need to immerse yourself in your mate can become extreme. We don't want to hurt her. I almost hope that they don't happen until after she's turned. Maybe they'll wait, since she's still human. Does your gift tell you anything about that?”
Peter closed his eyes for a minute, then said slowly, “I get the feelin' that Char won't claim her fully until after she's turned, as a precaution, but it's waverin'. Our love days will happen before the turn, but she'll be fine. Our most base selves wouldn't hurt her, so we'll be extremely gentle with her in our most passionate states. That's all I know for now, Major.”
I sighed in relief as Peter leaned in to kiss me. The kiss was loving, and we both sighed at the feeling. Peter sat back again to continue with his massage for Bella, then said, “How long can we let her sleep? She really needs it after the day she had.”
I thought for a second, “Well, knowing Charlie, he'll want to be out the door before Bella gets up. They aren't usually mushy and talk about their feelings, but last night really did something to both of them. He won't be able to handle another scene like last night, so he'll leave early for the station, I think. We should expect him to look in on her at least twice before he leaves. When he does, we can give her a little longer before we wake her. If we could get away with it, I'd say we try to dress her as she sleeps, then let her sleep in the truck as we get on the road. I know she won't sleep through us dressing her, though. Plus, she'll want to say goodbye to the house before she leaves. This is the place it all started for her.”
Peter nodded his head, his feelings letting me know he understood. “Is there anythin' that needs to be done before we're ready to leave? I know we want to get on the road quickly after we drop off her truck. If you want, I'll drive her truck over while you two are in yours.”
I agreed, “That's fine. Speaking of her truck, do you wanna go check the perimeter and get anything out of her truck she might wanna keep?”
He smiled, “Sure thing, Major. I'll be right back.”
He kissed me quickly then hopped out the open window. God, had I missed feeling his touch these last years. The electricity between us used to be epic. Now I'm sure it will be again. I know now that I just needed to find my true mate before we could be a complete unit.
Fuck, I can't wait to let loose with him... or let the Major have a turn. Ungh. Calm down, Major. Tiny human mate sleeping on top of you.
My fingers automatically went to her elements to start tracing. Peter came back in a minute later, letting me know it was him before he hopped through the window. He had a few small things in his hand from Bella's truck. He smiled softly when he saw us, noting, “She looks so small right now. We picked tiny li'l sweet things for mates, didn't we, Major.”
I laughed my agreement, then he said, “There wasn't much in her truck. She kept it pretty clean. There were a couple of cd's, a personal address book, and this. It looked special to her. It's a charm bracelet with a dream catcher and a wooden wolf on it. There's a faint scent I don't recognise on the wood. It looks hand-carved. The clasp is broken, though. That might be why it was wrapped up, stowed in the glove compartment. Here.”
He handed me the bracelet. I examined it carefully. Bella's scent was all over this, so I knew she wore it often. The other scent was familiar. Where had I smelled...
“The wolves!” I gasped.
The wooden wolf was carved by a Quileute wolf. I should've known. “Edward was always flipping out when she went to the reservation. I know this scent. It belongs to the Alpha of the wolves the Cullens have the treaty with. Bella is friends with the pack leader. Christ, I should've known. This is either a good or bad thing. We best let them know only the public story, for now at least. Our dealings have been strenuous, but peaceful. It's best not to rock that boat.”
Peter said slowly, “She's friends with a wolf pack's leader? As in the shape shifters you told me about? Damn, she really knows how to attract the supernatural, doesn't she? She surprises me at every turn. This alpha has never hurt her physically?”
I shook my head. “No. That was all James and Edward. I never heard anything about the wolf harming her. I think I'd like to get this fixed for her... but don't tell her. I want it to be a surprise.”
Peter smiled at me, still holding the other things in his hand. “The one suitcase has her CD collection inside, along with some of her other personal things. You can stash that in there, if you want. I'll put her bracelet in the hidden compartment in the truck while she's in the shower.”
He placed the items in the suitcase, then came back to the bed, sitting in his previous position. He drizzled more oil on her lower back before massaging her again. She hummed slightly in her sleep, while I felt appreciation and a slight bit of passion coming from her. I projected it to him, “She feels you even in her sleep.”
We smiled as he continued to work. I was still tracing her elements, so every time Peter would get close enough, he would brush his fingertips against mine.
We spent the next couple of hours talking quietly and tending to our mate, then we heard Charlie's alarm. It was only 3 am. I gently moved Bella to the bed, making sure she was covered. I sent her a small dose of lethargy to help her stay comfortably asleep. Peter and I were safely hidden when we heard Charlie opened the door.
He stood leaning against the doorway for a minute before he whispered in a choked up manner, “You'll always be my Little Princess, Bells. I'm so proud of you, Honey. I just can't stay and watch you leave after I just got you back. I hope you understand.”
He came to the side of the bed, brushed her hair from her face, then kissed her cheek. She whispered in her sleep, “I love you, Dad,” then he quietly slipped from the room, telling her he loved her too. Just as the door closed, a tear slipped from his eye.
She was so connected to everything around her, she didn't even realise it.
Charlie went about his morning routine, looking in on Bella twice more before he left just after 4:00. We got back onto the bed with her, but let her sleep until just around 5am, when she began to stir.
She was on top of me again, with Peter was tracing her elements. She trailed her hand up my spine in greeting. The sensation of my mate’s attention was so wonderful that was instantly purring. Oh, the way she makes me feel.
BPOV:
I awoke from a peaceful sleep to the smell of my Jasper. Eyes still closed, I trailed my fingertips up his spine. I smiled at the instant reaction of his purr. I could feel my Peter behind me, so I whispered playfully, “I can't make you purr all the way back there, Peter. Come to me, please.”
He stopped tracing my spine to crawl up close to Jasper and me. I turned my head his way, reached out a hand, then traced the lines of his chest and ab muscles. He purred contentedly, causing me to smile at the sound. “There are my vampires. Now I'm happy.”
They chuckled a bit, with me joining in. “I like your purrs being the first sound I hear in the morning. It makes me feel good, and it starts my day off right. It's like a confirmation that I'm truly your mates, plus it's good to know I can make you so utterly content with just a touch or kiss.”
Peter whispered happily, “We know, Kitten. We feel the same way when ya sigh in content or hum in pleasure. I can't wait to hear ya purr for us, though. Ya seem to be in a playful mood this mornin’. Care to share why?”
I smiled widely. “No more hiding you two. I can flaunt my men whenever and wherever I want. I can be wrapped up in the middle of you two without worry about who'll see or what they'll think. Plus, we're going home to our Char. She misses us a lot... I heard it in her voice last night. She'll worry about us until we get home.”
Jasper and Peter both placed kisses on my shoulders. “We talked a little about that while you slept, Darlin'. We didn't know how you would feel in public about our relationship. We were going to let you lead the way with that.”
My smile widened, “We can be in a crowd of thousands, Jasper… I don’t give a damn. I want you both to be touching and kissing me anytime you feel the urge... Char, too. Let people think what they will. I'm completely secure in our relationship, so I don't care what people think.”
They both kissed me, then Peter said, “Thank you, Kitten. I don't think I could stand not bein' able to touch ya or kiss ya while we are out anywhere. It would be the torture, Little One. Pure torture.”
He sounded almost desperate at the end, but I knew he was playing.
“Well, now. I guess it's a good thing I won't let you keep your hands to yourself, then,” I said with a wink and a smirk. He growled playfully, snaking me away from Jasper. I squeaked and plopped down on his abs, squeezing his chest muscles as I situated.
I looked at Jasper while sending my mischievousness, “He snatched me from my comfy place, Jazz. You going to let him get away with that first thing in the morning?”
Jasper pounced in behind me as he growled into my neck, “I think I will, Darlin'. You see, I like you being this playful, and I absolutely love seeing you naked on top of our mate... almost as much as I love watching you ride my cock. But we need to get into the shower. We have to get going, Darlin'. Especially if you want to see our other mate soon.”
I pouted playfully, then smacked Jasper's ass as I squirmed out from between them to run to the bathroom. I took care of my bladder, then opened the door back up. I started the water, then went to pick my clothes for the day.
I wanted something comfortable but still pretty, so I picked my white off-shoulder peasant top, my white and tan crochet-waist shirt with the charcoal butterflies on it, white lace boyshorts and strapless bra, along with my strappy leather Dior slide heels. I put all that on the now-made bed, then placed my tan jean jacket with it in case I got cold.
I turned around, only to see Peter and Jasper were both smiling widely at me. “What?” I said. “I just want to have my clothes ready for when I'm done in the bathroom.”
I walked right past them both, still nude, then went to get in the shower. I plugged my Ipod into the speakers in the bathroom, turning on another good Janet Jackson song. I was in the shower singing before they made it to the bathroom. I felt really good today... and frisky. The song I sang along with, swaying to, said it all.
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn
(Jasper and Peter climbed into the shower on either side of me, both lathering shower gel along my curves)
When you walked into the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room
And tell me fantasies
The passion in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blindfold
Tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things
You're gonna do to me
(I looked straight at Jasper as sang the chorus, backing my ass into Peter while wrapping my arms behind into his hair. They both moaned as I sang)
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn
(Jasper's eyes got dark as he realised what I was telling him... I wanted to see the Major soon. I heard a small growl slip from his lips)
One in the mornin'
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin'
Just my imagination for you
Ooh, sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the
Candlelight embrace your body
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down the small of my back
(I turned, saying the next lines to Peter as I licked his nipples)
You wanna know what my tongue feels like?
Mmhmm... You like that?
(Jasper grabbed my hands to lift them above me, effectively trapping me in his strong grip. Peter bit gently on my nipples, then moved south to my center. He started licking me as I practically moaned the chorus)
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn
(Jasper spread my legs wider as Peter slipped two fingers into me, working and curling them... making me almost insane. I panted, practically whimpering the last chorus)
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take of my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn
(I trembled fiercely as came for them with gasping cries. Jasper twisted his hands around my wrists and bit my shoulder, while Peter bit my clit and curled his fingers, both my mates drawing out every bit of the pleasure they gave me.)
I panted as I came down from my orgasm, body drenched, hair sticking to my face. My wrists were still held in Jasper's hands while Peter cleaned me of my release. I panted breathlessly, “That... was fucking incredible. So good.”
Jasper gently brought my wrists to his lips one at a time to kiss them sweetly. Peter stood up, ran his hands through his hair, then kissed me lovingly. Jasper whispered into my neck, feeling how I felt about seeing the Major, “Soon Darlin'. Very soon. I promise you.”
I shivered in anticipation. He chuckled, “Our sweet girl wants the Major to play with her, Peter. We need to get settled in Texas quickly.”
He smirked at Peter, so Peter bit my nipples again. I moaned as I arched into him, “Can Peter play, too, please? He's really... ungh... good at biting. We can even let Char in with us... oh, God... after a little show.”
I pushed Peter back, bent over and grabbed his cock in my hand, teasing the tip with my tongue, as Jasper steadied my hips while sliding into my soaked core. “Fuck, so tight... Mmm... I think... Ooh... we can... Shit, Darlin'... handle that,” he grunted between thrusts.
I moaned around Peter's length as I swallowed all of him, causing him to groan out, “Jesus, Kitten. Just like that... fuuck...”
I scraped my teeth against his length, digging my nails into the backs of his thighs, then he roared as he came in my mouth. I swallowed every apple pie drop, then came myself as soon as I released him from my mouth. Jasper was two thrusts behind me, growling about blindfolds, ropes, and candle wax.
Mmm. Yes, please. I'll have to find out the rest of that statement very soon.
We rinsed off, toweled dry, then headed to the bedroom after I pulled my hair into a french twist with a few loose strands hanging in their natural wave. I got dressed as they found clothes and dressed themselves. I had just pulled my skirt on when I heard both my vampires whisper, “So beautiful.”
I turned my head to smile softly at them. I grabbed the first 3 fruit bowls I could see out of the cooler, a sports bottle full of coconut milk from the second cooler, as well as 2 small bags of chocolate from next to the suitcases. I set them on the bed, then said as I pointed to my stash, “I want that. Everything else can be loaded. I wanna be on the road in 15 minutes. Can we do that?”
They both laughed as they replied, “Yes, Ma'am.”
In the next second, both coolers and the boxes were gone. I laughed as I sat on the bed, breaking into the first fruit bowl. Yum. Blood orange slices and mango. I moaned in delight as I ate the bowl full in less than 5 minutes. I drank some of my coconut milk, then opened the second bowl.
The guys had come back up for the rest of our stuff. Peter was asking if there was anything not in the room that needed to go. I told him that the speakers, Ipod and shower gel needed to go. He dashed off as I ate the raspberries and blueberries in the second bowl.
Jasper came over to kiss my neck, “We can leave whenever you're ready, Darlin'.”
I smiled at him before replying, “Let me eat one of the chocolate bags, then we can head out. I'll eat the rest in the truck once we're on the road.”
I drank some more coconut milk, then finished the small bag of dark chocolate and mint drops in no time. I handed the empty bowls to Jasper, asking if he put my purse in the truck yet. He said he did while handing me my keys.
When we walked down the stairs, I stopped in the kitchen suddenly. I wanted something with Charlie's scent on it. I ran back up the stairs with a 'Be right back,' then found one of Charlie's favorite button down shirts in the closet. I smelled the collar as I hugged it to me. This was my keepsake. I dashed back down the stairs, my vampires smiling at my find.
I took one last look around the house, trying to memorize every detail, then closed the front door behind me as I walked out. I made sure the door was locked, then handed Peter my keys. “Can you drive my truck over? I want to eat some more. It won't like you at all if you go over 55 in it, though.”
He laughed, “It's fine, Little One. Eat, and I’ll be right behind ya.”
He helped me up into Jasper's truck, closed the door, then dashed to my truck. We were on our way. I looked at the front of the house as we backed down the driveway, saying a final goodbye to my past.
