Control Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Can't Fight The Moonlight

BPOV

After watching Jasper sleep for what seemed like hours, I slip out of the bed as quietly as I can, so I don't disturb him. I find my clothes and dress quickly, so I can head to the kitchen to make some much-needed coffee.

I start the coffee, find some eggs and sausage and start the griddle. Susan always made sure the kitchen was stocked. I open the cupboards to find some other supplies to complete the breakfast I want to make for Jasper. I let out a long sigh...Jasper...what is going to happen when he gets up? Will he want anything to do with me? Will he leave and go back to Texas? Does he feel anything for me? I let my mind wander as I remember last night.

Jasper sucked on my breasts and slowly made his way down my body. My body was trembling with need. He slowly slid his tongue over my swollen folds, using his hands to spread me wider. The sensation of his tongue on me was sending my body into a frenzy. He licked and flicked my very sensitive nub as he slipped one finger then two into me.

"Oh...my...god...Jasper!" was all I could say.

"You taste divine darlin'," he said in a very sexy voice. I almost came from his words alone.

He continued to work my body with his skilled fingers and his amazing tongue. I had never felt such pleasure. He increased the pace of his fingers pumping me as he sucked on my nub, sending my body into an incredible orgasm as I screamed his name.

Suddenly, I felt two arms around my waist and lips on my neck. I jumped and spun around.

"Morning darlin', I didn't mean to scare you," he practically purred.

"Morning, and you shouldn't sneak up on someone like that," I playfully scolded him.

"I didn't sneak up on you. You were just deep in thought," he teased.

I rolled my eyes, "Coffee is ready," I said, handing him a cup and then pouring my own. "Breakfast will be ready in a few."

"You didn't have to make breakfast, but I'm glad you did. I'm starving," he said as he leaned in to kiss my forehead. The contact sent a jolt right to my center, especially after thinking about last night.

We eat in a comfortable silence. I keep sneaking quick glances at him. My mind is in overdrive. I'm very drawn to him, but I have no idea how he feels. I have no idea about anything anymore it seems, since Jasper Whitlock came into my life.

"Bella, are you ok? You seem like you could jump out of your skin at any moment." He tilted his head and his voice was that of concern.

I swallow hard, "I'm okay. I just...I don't know...I have a lot on my mind," I whispered.

"Talk to me Bella. Is it about what has happened between us?" he asks.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Yes," I barely say in a whisper.

He grabs my hand and squeezes it. "Bella, I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I'm drawn to you and I want to get to know you and explore what this is between us," he says. "Do you want the same thing?"

"Yes." I take a deep breath. "I'm just confused right now. Last night with you, I experienced things I didn't know were possible, and it scares me." I look down at the table.

Jasper tilts my head up, so I'll look at him. "Sweet Bella, last night was amazing for me too. I'm glad you finally experienced true pleasure, and I'm honored that it was with me. You're an amazing, beautiful, smart woman'" he says then kisses me softly on the lips.

"Bella, we can take this as slow or as fast as you want. Just please give me a chance."

"Jasper, I'm just scared, I've been hurt so badly. I do want to see where this goes between us. It's going to be complicated. I'm your boss and I don't know what my dad is going to think. How is this going to work?" I ask.

He laughs and puts his arms around me.

"We'll figure it out, boss," he says jokingly.

I hugged him back and laugh with him. It feels good to laugh and just be. I feel so comfortable with him.

"So, what's on the schedule today?" he asks.

"Jake, our Vet will be coming to see Lightning Bolt in about two hours. Weekends are pretty quiet around here. We have a few ranch hands that come in to feed and groom the horses," I reply.

He gets up and starts to clean up our dishes. "When does your family get back?" he asks.

"Emmett and Charlie get back late this evening, Susan and Rose tomorrow morning."

I got up to try and help him. "Bella, relax and finish your coffee."

"I really need to go home and shower and change."

"Okay beautiful," he says as he leans over and kisses me. "What time do you want me to report for work Miss Swan?" he asks in a joking tone.

"Miss Swan? Very funny, Mr. Whitlock," I say as I kiss him back. I need to go or I won't leave. I could feel my body coming to life.

"About an hour, I'll meet you in my office," I say and give him one last kiss before I walk to the door.

"Looking forward to it," he says as I walk out the door.

I watch her walk up the path and to the main house. I refill my coffee and sit down at the kitchen island to think about how my life had changed in such an amazing and drastic way in less than twenty-four hours.

It all started the moment I laid eyes on Miss Isabella Swan. She is beautiful and she has the most amazing brown eyes. I was instantly drawn to her. After getting Lightning Bolt settled, I went to her office. I seemed to make her flustered, it was very cute. She gave me a tour and then showed me to the bunk house. I got myself settled and headed back over to the stalls.

Harry told me she was alone as her family was gone for the weekend. I decided to ask her to have dinner with me, why should we both eat alone? I was thrilled that she said yes.

I wanted to get to know this beautiful woman.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think the night would end as it did. I was so drawn to her; I just needed her. I really thought she was going to run after we had sex. She stayed and we had a great dinner, and I should have come clean with her about my past then, but I just couldn't tell her what happened to me. She is so sweet and is going through so much herself. I can't believe what her ex-husband did to her, he cheated on her a few times, it seems and took away her self-esteem.

The evening was perfect, we just talked and I convinced her to spend the night. Sex with her was incredible. She was so responsive when I touched her and I was able to bring her pleasure that she never experienced before.

This morning, I woke up to that beautiful woman making me breakfast. She was so shy and insecure. This woman has come into my life and in less than twenty-four hours, turned it upside down.

I need to tell her about Bree, if I want any kind of future with her. It's been over two years. Thinking back to that night, tore the hole in my chest even bigger. I had gone out with the guys for a few drinks. Bree was home alone, sleeping. There was a break in and she was killed in the struggle. I came home to find her dead on the floor next to our bed. She had been beaten and then strangled. I should've never gone out that night.

I fell apart and it took my family a long time to put me back together. I was just existing in Texas, not living. When this job with Lightning Bolt came up, I jumped at the chance to start over. I never expected to have these feelings for someone ever again; nonetheless, at first sight.

I stood up. I needed to shower and pull myself together. I need to tell Bella about Bree today, before anything goes any further between us. I want her to know that I am broken to a point. I just hope that she understands, as she is mending her broken heart and a betrayal of trust.

I quickly shower and go to my office since I am expecting Jake. He's early, as usual. After we talk a bit, he goes off to check out Lightning Bolt.

I'm at my desk going through paperwork when Jasper knocks on my door. I look up and smile. He looks incredible with wet hair, tight jeans, and a form fitting t-shirt.

"Hello, Miss Swan," he says in a sexy voice as he walks closer to me.

I want him...right here, right now. "Mr. Whitlock, nice to see you again," I squeak.

He looks around. "Is the vet here?" he asks.

"Yes, Jake's here and he's with Lightning Bolt," I say as I look at him.

"Is anyone else here?" he asks.

"No, just us," I barely get the last word out and his lips meet mine and my body goes into overdrive as I get lost in the kiss.

"Oh...my...god, Bella!" I open my eyes and push away from Jasper.

"Alice, what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Well, that's not the welcome I thought I would get." She giggles as she stares at Jasper and me.

"I'm sorry," I say as I go to hug her. I just...I just wasn't expecting you."

"I see that," she says.

"Alice, this is Jasper. He's our new horse trainer, " I say quickly. I can feel the blush taking over my face. I am mortified; I was just caught kissing Jasper in my office.

"Nice to meet you, Alice," Jasper says, shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Jasper," Alice says, sizing him up. I just roll my eyes.

"So, Jasper, where are you from?" Alice asks.

"Texas...Galveston, Texas," he says.

"When did you move here?" she asks. This was not going to be good. She was going to find out everything she could about Jasper.

"Yesterday afternoon," he says.

"Yesterday!" she squeals and looks at me smiling.

"Alice..."

Before I can say anything else, Jake knocks on my office door. "Bella, all set. The horse is very healthy. I took some blood to run tests," Jake says, the whole time staring at Alice.

"Bella, who is this?" Alice asks.

"I'm sorry, Jake, this is Jasper and Alice. Jasper is Lightening Bolt's trainer and well, Alice is my best friend," I say, noticing Alice and Jake staring at each other.

Alice and Jake shake hands, and Jake didn't seem to notice that Jasper was even there.

"Bella, want to go to the Roadhouse tonight? I hear the band that is playing is good," Alice asks with pleading eyes.

"Sure, why not?" I answer, a little lost. I know she is up to something.

"Do you boys want to join us?" she asks, looking between them.

"Yes!" Jake says very enthusiastically.

I look toward Jasper and he smiles at me with that killer smile of his. "I would love to," he says.

"We will have so much fun!" Alice says, literally jumping up and down.
