*Jasper's POV

  "... you please go outside so I umm... pretend that you don't hear me?" I heard Annabell say awkwardly when I returned after stopping at our house to myself up from the hunt. I wasn't fast enough, I didn't wao wake up alone. She's awake already? There's no way she got enough rest yet. I thought, w about her strange request to Peter. I cluded that she wants to be alone and waited outside for Peter to ply with her request.

  After I heard him ugh and agree, he came out. Meanwhile, I made myself fortable on the bench swing below her window. Peter and I exged an uanding look. He nodded and was gone.

  I could hear the rustling of Annabell's bed covers. She seemed restless. When I was about to stand up and go che her, I heard her sigh and scold herself a little. "Nobody is listening A, stop being such a wimp! Who even would, at the dead of the night, haa..." Stifling a ugh I wondered what she's doing as she audibly threw herself down onto her bed again.

  After a moment of silence she started quietly humming some melody. Then the melody gained lyrics as she went from humming to soft singing. Her angelic voice was hypnotizing and I found myself walking up to her room. I made sure to not make a sound w if she knows I'm here like usually. This time it didn't seem to be the case, I thought, standing in the door of her bedroom watg Annabell reach out above her and make her hand seemingly dance elegantly through the air in melody of the song. I was mesmerized as she kept on quietly singing "...Touch him..

  With the gentleness you feel insideYour love 't be dehe truth will set you freeYou'll have what's meant to beAll in time you'll seeI don't think I could endureIf I let him walk awayWhen I have so much to say..."

  I couldn't stay still anymore. She was singing like she meant every word. "Then tell me." I said quietly before I could stop myself. I k would surprise her anyway, so I just kept the same distao not scare her more. I was right, she gasped and pulled her hand down to her chest. "Jasper!" Annabell excimed, sitting up. "How long... oh!" She hid her fa her palms in embarrassment, shaking her head. "You-!" Grabbing one of her cushions, she threw it at me.

  I chuckled at her antics, catg the cushion and walking over to a rather big leather armchair by her window, sitting down. Annabell quietly followed the sound of my footsteps. I was slowly learning about her heightened senses with wonder. "With that hearing of yours, you are almost like a vampire." I teased her a bit, throwihe cushion back at her. At the st sed she ducked and it nded on the bed behind her. "How did you do that?" I couldn't help asking, amazed.

  Annabell stood up and walked over to me. With her hair slightly disheveled from tossing around in bed earlier, she looked like a arang siren, ready to pull me under water. She found my knees and with her fiips gently sliding over my thighs and up my torso, she found my shoulders. However lightly her fingers brushed over my body, I was highly aware of every toud I didn't dare to move. She rested her hands on my shoulders, leaning on me. I watched in absolute awe as Annabell proceeded to sit on my p with her legs on each side of me, somewhat automatically grabbing her slender waist in case she eadying in the process.

  "Ripples on water." My miered her voice.

  "Err..what?" I got out of myself, fused. Warmth of her feminine body pulling me in like a mag, making me want to press her soft form even closer to me.

  "Ripples on water." She repeated, pletely unaware of what she just did as it was natural to her, using hands instead of eyes but... "When something moves through water it pushes the water in front of itself, creating waves. The same do objects flying through the air." She expined while I was getting lost in the green o of her eyes, slowly breathing in her addig st of roses. She was thinking for a few seds, absentmindedly biting on her lower lip. "Hmm... if a cushion in this case is flying at me it's not heavy or fast enough to make a sound like a ball would, for example. But I feel the waves of air it pushes in front of itself, much like if someone was trying to hit me. Let me demonstrate, close your eyes." She ordered, taking a hold of my with her left hand while I plied. Swinging her right hand, stopping it just few inches from my cheek she asked. "Did you feel that?"

  "I did." Opening my eyes again, I was gd she didn't actually hit me, for she would most likely hurt herself. And I did indeed uand what she meant now. I was mesmerized once again. For a human to learn to a susistent and uable thing as air pressure? "You are incredible, my love." I plimented her, caressing her hips with my thumbs since I didn't move my hands this whole time. Just then she breathed in, ready to say something but softly huffed in surprise, closing her mouth again.

  Suddenly she blushed taking her hands off me. "Uhh.. what I... umm.. sorry." Annabell stuttered an apology. Now I took a hold of her so she wouldn't hide her face from me like she did every time she felt embarrassed.

  "What are you apologising for, my love? If anything, I should apologize for sg you earlier. I'm sorry Ann. Your singing... was just so breathtaking." I admitted, moving my hand from her to gently rub her back making her rex again. "I don't mind, my i angel. For o made me extremely happy you came to me, and two, I won't do anything you don't wao." I reassured her. "To be pletely hohough, I do very mujoy the way you use your touch, to see." I fessed. Watg her cheeks deepen in color, as I suspected they would. Annabell was too adorable.

  After a moment of silence she reached out, finding my shoulders again. "Thank you." Her heart was beating more rapidly now and I wondered what's on her mind. "I want..." she bit her lip iation again. "Tell me, darling." I enced her. "I want you to... kiss me." She breathed out, pg a hand on my cheek and I could suddenly feel her emotions again. There was only pure love and I needed few moments to get my voice w. Overe with happiness. "Did you just...?"

  "Yes." firmed Annabell, smiling shyly. I gently pulled her closer. My hand, still resting on her hip found its way to her hair, cupping her head as I closed the distaeasingly brushing my lips over hers, I heard her breathing hitch. As her lips parted, my lips slowly enveloped her lower one, little swollen from how she's been biting it.

  I let my fingers run through the silky veil of her hair as if on their own. When I stroked over her captured velvety lip with my tongue, earning me a soft moan, Annabell's hand moved from my cheek to the bay head, g my hair. That tiny sound of pleasure from her lips was a fuel to the fme of my desire which was resonating with her owher hand clutched my bck shirt and she pressed herself to me as if for support. trating on her emotions, I moved my hand I had on her back, gently sliding along the side of her sexy body to her perfect, round ass. Carefully squeezing it I brought her as close to me as possible while finally sealing her sweet lips with mine.

  Annabell's tongue came timidly to greet mine, deepening the kiss and she moaned again, shivering with pleasure, when they iwined. She was involuntarily pressing her now seemingly burning body to my firm form with the same rhythm our tongues passionately danced and I groaned, feeling the pressure in my jeans rise. Annabell felt the same desire as me, however, there appeared a trace of fusion in her emotions.

  Curling my arm around Annabell's bad gripping her waist to stop her movements I tenderly sucked her lower lip in my mouth again to hear her moan one more time befently pulling away, ending the kiss. Annabell's fusion turo relief as she put her arms around my ned breathing heavily snuggled into me, firming my suspi.

  Being satiated helped a little to keep myself in trol. Not having my instincts in overdrive, allowed me to show my preate the depth of my desire for her, without giving in to it and sg her again, because she wasn't ready.

  I still couldn't get rid of my worry pletely. "I.. might have taken it little far. Sorry about that." I apologized, quietly, embrag her.

  "No apologizing, please." Mumbled Annabell resting her head on my shoulder. "It was amazing." She breathed out. Her fingers started to py with my hair and then I felt her embarrassment.

  "What is it, angel?" I inquired, slightly ed that she wasirely ho.

  "I...ugh... You probably tell that I'm... well, that I never-" I chuckled heariruggle to admit that she never had sex before. I ainfully aware that she's a virgin. But until few moments ago I didn't realize how pletely i she actually was.

  "My sweet angel... Yes, I am well aware and it is my absolute honor to be the one you experie all with." Just as my own desire retty much burning me alive when I had to suppress the o cim my mate, I was ready to burn for as long as she needed me to. "It is my utmost pleasure to show you anything and everything about this aspect of love. When you feel like you're ready. I'm more than happy to teach you. And you should listen to your instincts, my beloved."
