Jaspers Pov

I had always found my mate hot. Ok, more than hot since she was a knock out. But there was nothing I liked more than when my mate showed her vicious side, the side of her which had made me fall in love with her in the first place.

I adored the fact that Bella was suited to me in every way, and while I would never have wished for her to have ended up in the Southern Wars I couldn't help but think that it helped make her the strong girl she was today. Because she was strong, brilliantly so.

Licking my lips I tugged Bella towards me when she made a move to get up from her position on my lap, my nose burying against her neck as I breathed in her sweet scent. "Where do ya think you're goin', darlin'?"

"You know where, Jasper" she rolled her eyes. "You know at times you ask the most irrelevant questions."

As punishment for her cheeky tone I pinched her thigh, taking note that she had changed into a pair of light shorts and a loose red shirt which looked amazing on her. It was simple but hot. "Cheeky."

Bella winked. "I know, but you love it" she giggled causing warmth to blossom in my chest.

"That I do" I agreed without hesitation. "But you sure I can't get you to put this off a bit, darlin'?" I asked hopefully.

If I was being honest with myself I didn't really give a shit what happened to Tanya but the last thing we needed was to get distracted, especially since I didn't know how long they were visiting for. I didn't want to wait the chance to gain their alliance, and Bella attacking one of their coven wasn't the best way to go about it.

"Nope," Bella shook her head. "I thought watching me fight got you all hot and bothered?" she pouted. "I was hoping for a little lovin' afterwards."

I growled. "I think I could arrange that," I smirked as all thoughts of trying to persuade her not to do this seemed to leave my mind. Carlisle sighed so I guess he noticed.

Knowing that it would be pointless to argue with my stubborn mate he simply pulled himself onto his feet before following Bella as she hopped off my lap before dancing outside. She looked so enchanting she once again took my breath away.

"Are you sure there isn't a way to get her to change her mind, Jasper?" Carlisle seemed to try once again.

"I don't get what has you so worried, Carlisle. Bella will rough her up a bit, she'll probably lose a limb but I'll stop her if she goes in for a kill shot."

I could tell my words didn't seem to give him the reassurance he was after but I shrugged, I could only do so much.

"Can't they just be friends?"

Hearing Angela's question towards Edward I couldn't help but snort out loud, Rose scoffing as she stood next to me outside as we watched Bella bounce excitedly around the front lawn with eagerness in her eyes. She was really looking forward to this, I could feel just how much.

"Idiot," Rose muttered under her breathe.

"She is a human, Rose. What else do you expect?"
