*Annabell's POV

  For once I had a good rest again. Finally getting it all off my chest, bined with the exercise iernoon, got me a nice dreamless sleep tonight. I had my head on Jasper's arm while his other one was uhe b and around my waist, keeping me close to him. Not wanting to move yet, I decided to pretend to be still asleep for a while. The moment erfed I didn't want to get up, absolutely fortable as I was. However, my shirt ulled up a little and Jasper's hand was rested on my bare back.

  I liked the feeling. Although that touch made me hyper aware of how close our bodies were to one another. I tried to stay calm to not let Jasper know I'm not really asleep anymore, when his fingers moved and as if unaware of the movement, he started lightly caressing my skin.

  I held my breath when Jasper leao me and his hair tickled my cheek as he whispered into my ear. "I know you're awake." I didn't respond, but his hand slid up my bader my shirt. My body instinctively moved away from the ticklish sensation, making me press myself even closer to him and his voice gained a seductive tone. "Or were you dreaming about something so pleasant, it made your heart beat faster?"

  His lips brushed over my cheek and along my jaw until they found mine. I felt like I could melt in his embrace while his lips were gently sliding over mine in perfect harmony as I returned his kiss. When I put my arm around his neck, I remembered what I did yesterday. Pulling away, just enough to be able to speak, I propped myself on an elbow. "I'm so sorry... I did it again." I apologized, ashamed that I hurt him once again and trailed gently along his neck with my fingers.

  "What do you mean, angel?" He asked, fused. Caressing my hip with his thumb. My body felt warm from the kiss and his fingers were keeping me in that state.

  "That I-I attacked you again." I crified and knew what his response would be. I didn't want to hear him say that it's ok. It was true that I couldn't kill him this way. But that still didn't make it ok. I was sure it must have hurt him at least a little. So when I heard him io speak again, I did the only thing that came to my mind and crushed my lips to his.

  Jasper quickly recovered from the surprise and responded just as urgently. I experimented and caressed his bottom lip with a tip of my tongue, he groaned and turned on his back, pullih him, guidiil I was on top of him.

  I found myself straddling his firm and muscur body and my position gave me a feeling of trol over the situation. Jasper's hands kept stroking my hips and occasionally wandered further under my shirt or down to my ass, pressio the strong and alluring body below me. I could feel his excitement against my core through our jeans and it was just as unnerving as much it made me curious. For I knew. I heard. Could imagine. But I still had no personal experienot really.

  heless, I was on a mission now. Nibbling on his lip, I slowly made my way across his jaw to his ned pampered it using my lips and too make up for whatever damage or pain I might have caused with my whip.

  When my lips touched his throat, Jasper's hold oightened and he made a sound that was somethiween growl and moan. It pelled me to tinue and while I showered his neck with kisses, I halfway unbuttoned his shirt, longing for access to more of his skin. As my fingers started to roam his bare chest, Jasper's fingers found their way into my hair. His other hand was currently clutg my ass and I couldn't help but moan, pletely lost in the moment. Unsure what urged me to do so, I pyfully bit his neck.

  Suddenly, I was on my back with Jasper on top of me. His weight pushed me down into the covers now but surprisingly I wasn't unfortable. With his lips on my throat he softly growled. "You're driving me crazy."

  *Jasper's POV

  In the end there was just a light, early summer storm and by the m there was nothing of it left but nid fresh air.

  Annabell kept saying that my touch felt warm to her. So I pushed my worries away when her slight movements throughout the night caused her shirt to pull up a bit, leaving my hand on her bare bad I was allowed to enjoy the feeling of her soft, warm skin.

  She was pletely rexed and slept calmly the whole night. Around dawn I could hear her heartbeat slightly qui as I felt her slowly rising desire. However, she seemed i oending to be asleep. I moved my fingers on her back to see if I could get a rea out of her. It felt like her body temperature rose a tad but except for her desire, there was no other indication that she wasn't sleeping anymore.

  Leaning to her ear, I smiled. Her breathing stopped for a moment, firming my suspi. "I know you're awake." I whispered but got no response. y? I thought, sliding my hand up her bad under her shirt. She jerked from that touch, pressing her feminine form to me. "Or were you dreaming about something so pleasant, it made your heart beat faster?" I didn't think she was, at least not tonight. But the possibility that she would dream of me the same way I imagined being with her, excited me.

  I didn't really await an answer and teased her with my lips until I reached hers. Kissing me gently back, Annabell purred and put her arm around my neck. Then she pulled away, apologizing for attag me with her light. Before I could reply in an attempt to stop her from feeling guilty, she kissed me. This time, with surprising urgend I gdly gave back the way I received.

  I expected her to gradually start gaining fidence, explore and learn but I didn't expect myself to be learning as well. Thanks to Maria and that she used me as her pything while she maniputed me to do her bidding, I thought I knew what there was to know of physical love. However, I've never felt the way I did with Annabell before.

  She was as inexperienced as be, yet she always did something that riled me up so much, I nearly fot myself. When Annabell seemed keen on experimenting, I turned us so she was on top of me to give her more spad trol. I was rather enjoying it and this position too, doing a little expl of my own. She was so beautiful.

  Feeling the hard proof of my desire for her, she seemed slightly uled but determined as she teasingly nibbled on my lips. Then her lips slipped from my mouth and made their way over my jaw, down to my throat. The geouch of her velvety lips on my neck was definitely a new experiene. My involuntary respoo the unbelievably pleasurable sensation seemed to ence her and while she tio kiss my neck, she unbuttoned my shirt to explore further. Entangling my fingers in her silky smooth hair, I fought with the urge to dispose of her clothes.

  Maria bit me to ge me, but that was the first and the st time her lips came near my throat. Some of the newborns I fought mao get in a bite or two before I fihem off, but that was about the only experience I had with anyone's mouth on my neck. As a neire, clueless, I believed Maria. As years went by and I had a ce to witness arue vampire mates when they were together, I realized how much of a fool I've been pyed for.

  Squeezing Annabell's ass earned me her moan. At that moment I felt her teeth on my skin and nearly lost it. Flipping us around, I pinned her underh me to stop her teasing. "You're driving me crazy." I groaned against her ned was holy surprised that I was able to speak. I lifted my head to look at her. Annabell's cheeks looked like pink roses had bloomed on them, her breathing was heavy, heartbeat rapid and her body hot. With her hair spttered on the bed all around her I couldn't keep myself from w what she'd look like if I made love to her. And with the still fresh feeling of her light bite on my neck, I kept myself from finding ht then and there by sheer willpower.

  "I'll take that as a pliment...?" She finally said quietly. Clearly uain. Probably a result of our abrupt ge of positions. Leaning down again, I traced along her neck with my lips down to her colrboo return the favour and she shivered with pleasure as her worry disappeared.

  "You better." I muttered against her skin and slowly made a trail of kisses down to the lowest exposed spot of her cleavage and she clutched the bay head as she breathed out my name. I artially resting on one hand to keep most of my weight off of Annabell, while I hungrily ran my other hand along the side of her sexy body. Over her hip, up to her perfect plump breast before I reached for a button on her shirt to u.

  Ringing of her phoopped my movements. Lifting my head I watched Annabell pick it up, in what seemed an automatic reflex before she realized what she was doing. "Hello?" She asked, with a breathy voice. Annabell's face was suddenly red with embarrassment as if someone walked in the room on us, instead of just calling.

  "Hey, Annabell. This is Rosalie. Umm, Jasper is somewhere around you, isn't he?" I heard Rosalie's void didn't uand the question. If she wao talk to me, she could have called my number. Although, I most certainly wouldn't pick it up now... Crossed my mind and I traced the curve of Annabell's breast down to her cleavage as far as her shirt allowed me, with my fingers.

  "Oh, ummm.. You could say that." She replied to Rose and bit her lip when I leaned down to repce my fingers with my lips.

  "Got it." Laughed Rose oher end. "So, when do you wanna go?" That got my attention.

  "Uhh... you pick me up in an hour?" I lifted up to move closer to Annabell's unoccupied ear.

  "Where are we going?" I asked and sucked her earlobe in my mouth while my hand slipped back down to her hip and under her shirt. Aook a sharp breath and I kissed the soft spot behind her ear to get more from her.

  Annabell's phone fell out of her hand and nded on the bed. Theopped my hand from getting further up her smooth and hot body under her shirt. "Please Jay..." She pleaded with me. I didn't want to stop. Because she was disappointed when her ph. She clearly regretted pig it up the sed she did. But her politeness wouldn't let her hang up on whoever was calling after she already pressed the button to receive the call.

  Even now, though she didn't let me tinue, she still felt the same desire and her pleading sounded more like she was askio tihan to stop, obviously fighting with herself and her longing for my touoheless, as hard headed as she was, she wouldn't ge her pns with Rose for it, expeg me to make it easier for her. "You are not going." Rang Rosalie's voice from the phoill lying on the bed o us.

  "What do you mean I'm not going?" Taken slightly aback I sat up and frowned.

  "I told you it's a secret." Annabell gri me and pced her phone back to her ear.

  "But if you're too uhmm... busy, we go another day." I heard Rose giggle. Annabell's blush deepened once more.

  "No, no! Pick me up in an hour." She said quickly. "Oh aer's ing with us. For umm.. you know-"

  "Heyy, I should take offeo your obvious distrust in me in that regard." Laughed Rose again, interrupting Annabell. "Buuut, I guess I see your point. He is the oh the most valuable input on this." My frown deepened. Just what were they pnning?
