You just finished cleaning up the mess Alice had made in the bedroom when Jasper walked in.
"Oh, hey." You said softly, folding his last shirt and tucking it into the suitcase you packed for him.
"I hope you don't mind, I kinda got started without you."
Jasper chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"There's been a change of plans, sweetheart..." he sighed
"Oh really?" You Asked.
"Yes, I'll explain the whole thing while we're out."
You walk up to him and throw your arms around his neck.
"Out?" You ask, cocking your left eyebrow.
His once amber colored eyes glistened a deep crimson red.
"You thirsty?" He asked, smiling seductively.

He was so graceful. He weaved through the tightly packed trees like an expert seamstress's needle and thread.
You kept up effortlessly, running alongside him.
"So she just volunteered to go? Just like that?" You yelled.
"It seems that way, though, she doesn't seem to be in her right mind. Everyone's worried about her." He replies.
"Even you?" You ask
"Yes...Even me."
You knew he was feeling guilty, and you tried to understand, but it still stung to know he cared for her, still.
His nostrils flared as he picked up a scent. Something delicious.
"A wild boar! Coming up on your right!" He yells. You inhale deeply, the scent fills your senses and forms a misty trail in your minds eye.
"I got it!" You yell, allowing your instinct to guide you to your meal. There it was, a large male boar, rooting through the rich soil, searching to fill its own belly. The poor creature didn't see it coming.
You tackle it to the ground, dodging sharp tusks and hooves. It's a tough beast, but you're so much stronger. You bite down hard on its neck, it's dying squeals echo through the forest as it finally succumbs to your hold.
You take three long swills as Jasper catches up to you.
"Not bad! That was kinda sexy!" He laughs.
You look up at him and wipe your mouth with the back of your arm.
"Ew, God...it's definitely different from human blood. It's like...Gamey!" You exclaim. You keep drinking anyway, blood is blood at the end of the day, and you are pretty weak from your ordeal with Alice.
"It's an acquired taste. I promise it gets better over time." He laughs.
You both continue to hunt through the night. Jasper caught two whitetail bucks and after your boar, you caught a smaller sized bobcat, which you ended up liking way better.
"I guess I just have a taste for predators." You sigh, dipping your bare feet in a cool mountain stream.
"It looks that way." Jasper smiled, sitting close beside you. You lay your head on his shoulder as you reflect on the turbulent week you spent with him and the Cullen's.
"Wow..." you sigh to yourself
"What is it?" Asked Jasper, as he kisses the top of your hair.
"I've caused you so much grief in such a short time. I don't see how you could stand to be around me, honestly."
He tucks his thumb beneath your chin and lifts your head to meet his gaze.
"If you can forgive me for all the wrongs I've done to you. Then there's nothing you could do to make me turn from you now.
I'd walk through fire to have you by my side. The slight discomfort that came from exposing my truth is a small price to pay for a reward as incredible as you."
Sincerity twinkled in his eyes as he spoke, his heavy words penetrated your soul. You had no doubt in your heart that this was right. This beautiful, humble, wonderful man was your soulmate. No amount of time, grief, or heartache could come between you. Not even death could do you part.
You pressed your lips to his neck, feeling his throat muscles contract in reaction to your touch.
"Make love to me..." you whispered
He smiled down at you, with his signature crooked grin. His eyes, now back to their warm amber color, followed your shape up and down. He bit his bottom lip, as he grabbed your waist with one arm and pulled you onto his lap. He laid back onto the soft grass and put his hands behind his head.
"It's your turn to do some work, little lady."
He growled. You cocked your eyebrow at him, playfully, as you ran your hands under his shirt, feeling the ripples of his rigid abs.
"Let's see if you can still ride, cowgirl."
