Jaspers Pov

Once Bella had significantly calmed down I released my hold on her thigh from how she was pressed against me, instead simply relaxing as I soaked in the comfort and love which was mate was giving off through our bond. It also helped that she was completely, utterly and deliciously blissed out.

Shaking my head I felt my chest shake with barely restrained laughter as I let myself simply enjoy the situation which had been presented in front of me. I hadn't planned to take her right there and then but it had made sense to work as a distraction, not to mention it was completely worth it if I was being honest with myself. Then again when wasn't it?

"Stop it" Bella playfully slapped me on the chest as she lazily stretched out next to me, our bodies no longer joined but neither of us had bothered to get dressed properly again. So what if I was balls to the wind, I certainly didn't care and by the look of it Bella didn't either.

"Stop what?" I raised a brow, amusement colouring my tone.

"Being so smug," she huffed.

I snorted at her comment but didn't defend myself, not when I knew I was indeed quite pleased with myself.

"You're doing it again" she huffed out causing me to snigger. It was her serious sigh that brought be back down to earth however. "What are we going to do Jasper? If you won't let me kill her, or Edward as a matter of fact, then you know they are going to have issues with the Voltouri. It would be the simplest and most striatal conduct to dispose of the threat before it becomes an even bigger issue than it already is."

I was always impressed by Bella's tactical skills, it being one the reasons we worked so well together. She took the weight of the logics off my back while I took the fighting off hers. It worked for us. But I couldn't let her kill off my family, even if I wanted to do the exact same thing for similar reasons. I saw where she was coming from, but I knew there had to be another way.

"You know the Voltouri aren't that big of a threat to us, Bella" I raised a brow. "They fear us more than we fear them" I pointed out causing her to sigh out loud.

"I know, Jasper. But I don't want to fight them, that life I am trying to put behind me and the fact two brats are playing with my future is not what I planned for the rest of my eternity" she confessed causing me to feel a flash of guilt.

"I know," I pulled her into a hug as she rolled on top of me. I tried to ignore how close our groins touched, especially when it really wasn't the time anymore to be thinking such naughty thoughts of my mate.

I knew that Bella had her future all planned out for what she wanted, what she had craved for so long and I hadn't realised it until now but she really hadn't had the time to settle down into the routine what she wanted. A few days with Peter and Char really didn't cut it.

"I think we should meet this human" I spoke after a few minutes, sending Bella my comfort and love as she seemed to almost doze off against my chest. I knew as vampires we couldn't, but she seemed so subdued that I couldn't help smile softly down at her as I kissed the crown of her hair.

"Why?" Bella almost whined causing my smile to increase.

"Get a feeling of where she's coming from. I have to admit I'm curious as to what her emotions would be like when she is around Edward, and then when she is not. You've been to her home, yes?" I asked.
