Chapter 18: New Year, New Problems.
Louisiana 1896, January
(Arabella’s POV)
So much as happened in such a short amount of time. The holidays were wonderful. Rose and Emmett stayed with us over the holidays and New Years eve was great. We all sat around drinking and playin cards until Emmett lost and cried that we cheat. We laughed at him and he pouted like a child. Rose is getting much bigger. She is due in a couple months. I know it seems like a long time but 6 months will fly. Jasper has been staying in the room across the hall from me. I dream of him often, and i know he can feel everything i feel but he never says anything, he’s too much of a gentleman for that. The bed he built for me is the most beautiful and comfortable bed i have ever seen or slept in.
His hands are truly magical. Emmett has used the newly rebuilt wagon more then i have. He has to take Rosie in to see the doc in town every three weeks. We recently found out she is having twins. Yes i said twins…two more Emmetts running around. It isn’t really a surprise as Emmett and I are twins. Double trouble is what Peter called us. Now he has a new set to drive him mad.
Three months later…April 1896.
It’s time for the spring planting. My stress levels are through the roof. Jasper says I need to calm down. Hah. Let him try to run this farm on his own and make sure shit gets done like it’s supposed to in time for harvest in the fall. So I’m off to town to buy seed for the fields. I also have to stop by the feed store and pick up grains and oats for the cattle and horses. Just as I was about to head out the door Peter stopped me.
“Bella, would you like me to come with you?”
“Peter it’s the middle of the day you can’t come with me.”
“But you shouldn’t go alone.” he said lookin down.
I know he was remembering the last time.
“Well we won’t have any problems if you let me leave right now so i can be back before dark.”
“Ok but i will be in the trees along the road.”
“Peter i will be fine. If anything goes wrong Jasper will know long before you do. So please just get the prep work done so when i get back we can get started.”
“Okay Bella, get a move on then i will take care of the stuff you need me too.”
He stalked off. I knew he was worried but he had no reason to worry. I was gonna be fine if i left right now. So i walked out to the wagon to see Jasper standing there with the horses already hitched.
“I figured if i helped you get ready the sooner you would be back.”
I walked over kissed him and let him help me into the wagon.
“I’ll be back before you know it. And if i get into any trouble you will know.”
“Yes i know but that don’t mean i don’t worry. I promise i will keep Peter on task while your gone.”
“Thank you.”
With a final kiss i turned the horses toward town and started on my way. The further away i got the more i felt the pain in my chest. I knew everything was alright but that didn’t mean i wasn’t feelin the pull. Once in town i went straight to the grocer. David would have everything i needed for this years crops. Entering the store i found him swamped behind the counter.
“Could you use some help David?” i called to him.
“Oh thank you very much Arabella. Could you help me wrap and bag orders.”
“Sure thing David.”
“I have your order in the back, when we finish here i will have Michael take it out for you. While you finish your shopping.”
“Thank you.”
I went behind the counter and began helping to bag and wrap orders as he called them back to me. It didnt’ take long for us to clear the store out. When we finished David turned to me leaning against the counter.
“What would i have done if you hadn’t come in when you did?”
“You would still be here filling out orders, with lots of angry costumers.” i said chuckling.
“Your right. Thank you so much Arabella. Now what else do you need besides your usual seeds and i will send Micheal to get it for you so you can rest.”
“Oh i couldn’t do that.”
“You can and will. Now what do you need.”
“I need grains and oats from the feed store. Andrew the stock boy would know my order by heart if you have him say its for me.”
“Micheal…”
“Yes father.”
“Could you please take Arabella’s order out to her wagon and then run to the feed store and ask for Andrew. Tell him you are there to pick up Arabella’s order and then bring it back here and place it in her wagon for her.”
“Yes father.”
Micheal scurried out the door like the rat he is. I would never say anything in front of his father but that boy made me beyond creeped out.
“Now Miss what else are you here for.”
“Just a few things David. Soap, milk, towels, and wash cloths. Those boys sure are hard on my housewares.”
“Yes boys tend to be hard on everything.”
“True true”
“The Mrs.’s wishes for me to send an invite for you and yours to come for supper one night this week. She has seen Emmett and Miss Rose around the town alot recently.”
“Well Miss Rose is expecting so she has to come to see the good doctor often.”
“Oh that is delightful news. When is she due?”
“Late June early July. She concieved just before harvest time this past fall.”
“Oh how lovely a summer baby.”
“No my dear David, two summer babies. She is with twins.”
“Oh dear! Two more Emmetts runnin about. How will we ever survive.” we laughed together.
“You sound just like Peter.”
“ah yes the Oldest of the McCarty’s. How is he and his lovely wife Charlotte?”
“Very well thank you. They work for me out on the farm.”
“Oh i figured he would take back the business when he returned?”
“No such luck David. The Farm is in my name and i won’t let his pig headedness over take it.”
“You stay strong Arabella and you will do just fine.”
“I plan on it.”
“So any male admirer’s lookin to become Mr. Arabella McCarty?”
I swear i blushed redder then the apples sitting next to me.
“I see. It wouldn’t be that Major Whitlock my boy as been rumblin about for months now would it.”
“Yes sir. Major Whitlock is a fine man.”
“Well it seems as if my boy has a bit of a crush on you Miss Arabella.”
“Yes it seems he does.”
“I will do what i can Miss but i can’t stop how the heart feels.”
“I understand David. Don’t you worry none. It will fade as soon as he finds a young girl more his type.”
“Yes i do agree. You are far to mature for my boy.”
“Thank you. I think..”
“Oh it is most definitely a compliment Miss.”
“Well then Thank you.”
Micheal walked back in then.
“You goods are loaded Miss.”
“Thank you Micheal.”
I paid for everything with David and headed for the wagon. It was just after mid-day. If i left now i could be home with time to spare and maybe even help some with the prep for tomorrows long work day. I started heading toward home.
(Micheal’s POV)
I watched as she drove up to the store. It was like this everytime. She would come in help dad out in the store when it was packed, help clean up afterward, and then i would be sent to collect whatever else she needed from town. When i came back i told Arabella her things were packed. I watched from the side of the store as she climbed up onto her wagon, which looked completely new, and start toward her home.
I knew if i was to get her alone now would be the time. She was gonna be mine or no one else would have her. Her Major could burn in hell i saw her first. I have been trying to get her affections for three years. Now i will have her.
I followed closely behind staying out of sight near the rear of the buildings. As she rounded the corner near where the woods met the road i knew it was now or never. I jumped out in front of her horses and they reared. She got them to stop and settle before they killed me.
“Micheal what in the world are you doing. What were you thinkin? My horses could have killed you. Did i forget something?”
“Yes you forgot something…ME.”
“What i don’t understand? What do you mean i forgot you?”
“What do i mean? What part of it did you not understand. I have been showing you affection for three years and you have only ever pushed me aside. But not any longer Arabella you will show me the love and respect that i deserve as a man. Now do as all women should and come please me.”
“Go to hell and get out of my way. I need to get home.”
“Oh so you can fuck your Major. Well he ain’t here right now so you have to deal with me.”
“Have you lost your mind?”
“NO! It is you who is not in your right mind. You are supposed to be with me. No one else. ME!”
“I was never supposed to be with you. Micheal you are confused come here and i will give you a ride back to your father’s store and we will get you a doctor.”
“ I don’t need a doctor.”
The bitch was patronizing me. I climbed up next to her and saw that i could easily push her into the back of the wagon from up here. She went to reach for the reigns to move the horses when i took my chance and shoved her over into the back onto the bags of feed.
“Micheal what are you doing?” she yelled at me.
“Taking what should have been mine in the first place.”
“No. Micheal you don’t want to do this.”
“And why not. No one is here to stop me. Who would want you anyway?”
The flaps to the back of the wagon fluttered and then the next thing i knew i was on the ground with my face planted in the soft earth on the roadside.
“I would” a voice growled out.
I couldn’t see who it was that had me pinned to the ground. But his hands were like ice and his voice was deadly. As far as i knew we were alone. Where the hell did this guy come from?
“Jasper!”
Jasper…who the hell is Jasper.
“Arabella. Are you okay?” the stranger said.
“Yes Jasper i am fine now. Thank you.”
“What shall i do with the Boy?” he hissed. Yes just like a snake.
This man’s voice made my insides shake in fear.
“Please don’t kill him! David would be heartbroken.”
Kill me. What the hell. How could he kill me. I don’t feel a gun or anything. Only his barehands.
“If i let him go he could tell someone.”
tell them what?
“He hasn’t seen anything. He can’t tell them anything.”
“Are you positive Arabella?”
“Yes i doubt he even knows who you are.”
“Fine but get on the wagon and get moving. I will be right behind you.”
She must have listened to him cause soon i could hear the horses hooves on the ground.
(Jasper’s POV)
I wasn’t completely all focused on what Peter, Char and I were supposed to be doing but they didn’t seem to mind. Hell, every now and then Peter would look to me to see if i felt anything. I would shake my head and he would go back to work. I swear he loved the fact that i was a direct link to his sister when she wasn’t within his sights. Don’t misunderstand i was glad for it but sometimes Peter can be a pain in the ass. I felt several different spikes while Bella was gone. Tiredness, humor, worry, then relief. She must have finished sooner then i thought she would. It was only just after mid-day. If she kept a steady pace she would be home in plenty of time to get her hands dirty, which i know she has been lookin forward to since the warm weather set in.
Suddenly i felt her surprise sky rocket. What the hell would cause that. Then just as i started to shake it off her fear took it’s place. I looked at Peter and Char. Peter must have felt somethin too cause his eyes meet mine. Char looked at me and mouthed Go. No need to tell me twice. A feeling of Deja vu’ came over me. I knew this was not gonna be good. I saw the wagon just past the bend in town. I could hear Bella’s heart beating faster then it should be. I ran as fast as i could around the side and up the front. There was that Micheal kid on top my Bella.
Major’s (POV)
All i knew was that piece of shit was on my Mate. He was a dead man. I grabbed him and slammed him into the dirt on the side of the road near the tree line. I only vaguely remember the question he asked and i answered with “I would”. My mate must have gotten out of the wagon as she called to me. I really wanted to kill this boy for touching what is mine but Arabella who is my better half would not allow it. I did not wish to upset my mate further then she already was so i will let him live this time. I told her to get in the wagon and go home. I turned back to the child pinned beneath me.
“If you ever come anywhere near her again or even attempt to think about her i will know and i will end your miserable exsistance. She saved you this time. But next time i won’t be so leaniant. Do you understand.”
The child nodded.
“Good now run home. If you speak of this to anyone i will kill you. They will never find your body so there will be no way they will ever find out it was me. Nod if you understand.”
Again the child nodded.
“Good boy now begone.”
I jumped up into the trees before he could even get off the ground. I watched as he got up and looked around tryin to see if he could find me. Soon he gave up and started back toward town. I followed closely to see if the boy would tell anyone. I went into the grocer and his father asked where he had been. He told him he was just out for a walk. Good boy he listened.
Oh well. I was really hopin he would spill, i really wanted to have a reason to kill him. I turned and headed home. I got there and followed Arabella’s sent to her room. I opened her door slowly. She was laid across her bed crying. I moved to her side.
“Arabella Darlin’ are you okay?”
“No Jasper i’m not okay. That is the second time i have almost been raped on my way home from that same grocer. I’m beginning to think that i should just start sending Emmett from now on.”
“No Arabella. Don’t start thinking that way. You are a strong woman you just need to learn some self defense and you won’t have any more problems.”
“Would you teach me.” She looked up at me through tear stained lashes.
I pulled her toward me into my arms.
“I would love to, but i feel that it would be best if i let Char do that. She would appreciate the girl time.”
“Your right she would. Do you think she would show me.”
“I can garrantee it.”
“Thank you so much Jasper.”
She pulled herself up and kissed my lips passionately. She ran her tongue over my bottom lip begging for enterance and who was i to deny my woman. I open my mouth for her making sure to cover my teeth with my lips. She tasted as good as she smells. I could feel her push her body closer to mine. It’s as if she couldn’t get close enough. I knew if we kept this up we wouldn’t be able to stop. I started to pull away but she grabbed hold of my hair and pulled me closer. She ended the kiss only so she could breath but continued her assult on me. Her lips and tongue trailed down my jaw to my ear, then continued down my neck to my shoulder.
“Arabella.” i tried.
“hhhmmmmm”
“We should stop before we go to far.”
“What would you consider to far?” she spoke around her kisses.
I could feel both of our lusts spiking. I don’t know how much further i can go and still be able to stop from taking her.
“Arabella.” i tried again.
“Yes Jasper?”
“What are you doing?” i was starting to breath heavier then normal.
“Showing you how much i love you.” she replied.
Ah hell that did it. I laid her back on the bed and began the same ministrations she was just performing on me. I loved the feel of her skin on my lips. She began to push up against me. Causing my general to stand at attention for his commanding officer. Damn the shit this woman does to me.
“Jasper is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.”
“Really Arabella. Humor? At a time like this.”
“Well it sounded good in my head but now that you mention i guess the timing could have been better.”
I continued kissing down her neck to the v in her dress top.
“Jassssppperr” she moaned breathlessly.
“Yes?”
“Please.”
“Please what?”
“I want to feel you.”
“What do you mean?” i pulled back to look her in the eye.
We haven’t ever talked about going all the way. I knew we could, she isn’t the first human i have been with but she will be the last.
“I want you to make me yours fully. I wanna feel all of you. Take me i’m yours.”
Damn well okay then.
“Your sure.”
“Yes Jasper i’m 100% sure. Now are we gonna continue to talk about this or are you gonna make love to me?”
“Well i guess i’m gonna make love to you.”
i started kissing her again as article after article of clothing was removed. Our bodies moved together as if choreographed. I tasted every inch of her beautiful creamy skin. As i neared her haven her breath hitched and her nerves spiked.
“Arabella it is okay just relax and let me love you.”
She didn’t completely relax but she did lay back further, spreading her legs wide for me. Using the tip of my tongue i ran it along her slit from bottom to top. Her moan of pleasure was all i needed to tell me that this is what pleased my mate. So i continued using slow steady strokes until she started to buck her hips against my face. I brought my hand up and inserted one finger into her warm heat. She moaned louder. I started lickin her faster while i pushed in a second finger. I could feel her starting to clench around my fingers. I pushed upward gently onto her g-spot and she cried out my name as she came all over my fingers. I licked her clean as she came down off her orgasm.
I slowly kissed my way back up her body. Sucking on her nipples as i passed on my way to her lips. She moaned into the kiss as she tasted herself on my lips. With out any indication of what she was gonna do i suddenly found myself on my back with her kissing her way down my body. She bit each of my nipples after suckin each one into her mouth. My dick twitched in anticipation. This has never been done to me before so this was all new. Most of the women i had been with were drained after i fucked them. I have never let another vampire touch me. I was savin that pleasure for my mate. And what a glorious pleasure it is. She ran her tongue down my stomach, dippin it into my navel and swirling it. She then taced my v with her delicious lips. Scattering kisses all along my pelvis.
When her lips touched the head of my cock i about jumped through the roof. My god what was this vixen doin to me. Next thing i knew i was balls deep in her hot as fuck mouth. She was suckin me in as she decended and draggin her teeth as she pulled back only to repeat the same motions again. What did i do to be given this magnificant creature as my mate. I could feel my orgasm building. I began to twitch again. I could feel the muscles tighten. She must have too cause she sped up her minstrations and began fondling my balls in the mix. Damn. I tried to warn her.
“Bella baby i’m gonna..”
She began humming and that did it. I blew. She took it all. Swallowing around the head of my dick causing me to spasm again. She began her routine again and i could already feel the build up again. It didn’t take long for the second. She nibbled, licked and sucked me into oblivion. I could feel my eyeballs roll into the back of my head as i exploded a second time into her mouth. She cleaned me up and then rose up and straddled my waist.
I didn’t have time to object or even come down completely when she impaled herself on me. I knew she was still a virgin and that shit had to hurt like hell but she didn’t show one once of pain on her features or in her emotions. All i could feel from her was pure pleasure. She was ridin me like it was goin out of style. Her hips grindin into mine causin my dick to pludge deeper into her. I’m so glad it wasn’t nescessary for me to breath cause i would have passed out by now from lack of oxygen. She felt so good.
“Arabella you feel so good. Darlin don’t stop.”
“Wasn’t….plannin…..on……it….” she moaned out. I could feel both of our inpending orgasms building in sync with each other. This was gonna be unbelievable.
“Just like that Darlin’ i’m about ready you gonna cum with me Darlin?”
“Yes Jasper….yes…yes … yes..” with that she picked up her pace as her body started she shake. She reached behind her and cupped my balls givin them a swift tug, and that was it i exploded inside her, causin her to follow immediately. I growled out her name as i came. She collapsed ontop of me and was breathin heavily in my ear. I stroked her back slowly as she came out of her euphoric bliss. Which i must admit i was suckin up like a sponge. If it was like this everytime we were never leavin this room. This has to be the purest and most wonderful emotion i have ever felt.
“Jasper” she whispered.
“Yes” i said just as quietly so as not to break the bubble of bliss we were sharin.
“I love you.”
“I love you too Darlin.”
I rolled us over so i was over top of her as i started to move within her again.
“Oh god Jasper that feels so good.”
I picked up my pace.
“You too babe you too.”
Our conversation ended there. I continued to make love to my mate until the sun rose the next morning. I left her to sleep off our activities when the morning came. I meet up with Peter, Char and Emmett out in the fields and started the planting for this years crops. I had a feeling that these happy feelings weren’t gonna last so i was clinging to them for as long as i could.
