*Annabell's POV

  Ihroom, Jasper lifted me to get me ihtub easier. This was different than wheakes me in his arms. For that sed he held me in the air by my waist I felt weightless, as if I could fly. "Ann, if anything feels unfortable to you, you must tell me, alright?" Jasper was so siderate all the time, my heart was swelling with love for him.

  "I will." Reassuring him, I felt his hands on my back as he started to take off my bra. Little self scious I pulled the soft, ced bra pletely off, throwing it into a er o the washing mae. Staying turned with my back to Jasper I quickly, before I could ge my mind, pulled off the st piey clothing. Somehow getting my panties over the cast, I just kicked them off my feet while holding onto a metal handle on the wall to steady myself, leaving them iub for now.

  After turning the water on and adjusting the temperature I held the shower head for Jasper to take. "Jay, is something wrong?" I asked, a little worried when he didn't take it from me.

  "Yes? No. Nothing's wrong, angel." He replied, finally taking a hold of the shower head. Something in his voice made me blush. Making sure I'm steady, holding onto the handle on the wall I lifted my to give Jasper better access to my hair and to minimize the possibility of shampoo getting in my eyes.

  Jasper started to run his fihrough my hair to help water get everywhere before applying the shampoo. "Please, try not to fall asleep this time, since I'm not holding you now." He said suddenly, making me ugh. As if I could fall asleep while pletely naked in front of him. Even though I was not fag him, I was aware of his every toud every shift of his body behind me.

  "Sure." I giggled while the bathroom got filled with a pleasant smell of roses from my shampoo. However, his ent made me think of how he held me st time while washing my hair, but with me as I am now. Naked. I inhaled sharply, gripping the hao keep myself steady as my healthy khreateo give out. e o a grip! What you feel affects him too. And you are butt naked right now... I chastised myself.

  "Angel..." Started Jasper, his voice husky. He just finished washing my hair and leaned closer to reach around me and grab the sponge from the wall. That made him lightly press his bare chest to my exposed back, causio take another deep breath as he tinued, right by my ear. "You really like making it harder on me, don't you..?"

  His deep voice was quiet, yet it seemed to vibrate ay skin and resonate deep within me. I knew my own voice wouldn't wht now so I just shook my head. Realizing I involuntarily pressed my bato him as he leaned closer, I gasped and clutg the handle more firmly again I leaned away from his warmth. "My sweet little temptation." He whispered, pg a kiss on my shoulder and leaned back further away from me.

  I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Not for long, however. Jasper was doh my hair which meant he'd wash my body now. I felt myself starting to panic, worried about my owions to his touch, making his 'handling himself' as he called it, harder again.

  "Ann?" I heard his worried voice. "Ann, what's wrong?" He pced his haly on my shoulder and a wave of calm washed over me, helping my breathing to return to its even rhythm.

  "I'm sorry." Settled down I mao apologize. "I-I don't mean to..." Making anything more difficult for him was the st thing I wanted.

  I could hear his relieved sigh before he spoke. "My beloved ahey say practice makes perfect. It's alright. Don't apologize, Ann." He kept reassuring me, while he started washing my back. "I admit, it's not easy not giving in to the temptation... However, I will keep my word to you. We have ay and after two turies that I, although unknowingly, waited for you, I'll gdly wait awo if you need me to. Just... stay by my side. I love you Annabell and being able to feel that my touch has the same effe you as yours has on me, makes me happy."

  Turning my head to smile at him over my shoulder, I teased him a little, trying to make my voice sound formal. "Thank you sir, but if you'll wait two hundred years I might have to find another vampire." I couldn't help but giggle at my own joke.

  Jasper gave a low groulled me backwards to him, ing an arm around me. A soft gasp of surprise escaped me as he pressed me to his muscur body. Pg a hand on my cheek to keep my face turo him, he leaned so close that our ouched. "You are mine." He stated. His voice deep and dangerous. I khe warning in his voice wasn't really for me but any and every vampire that would think of taking his pce. I wao give a victorious smile but feeling his breath on my face as he spoke with his bare skin on mine as he held me, I fot the teasing and closed the tiny gap between our lips.

  Jasper's hold on me momentarily tightened and he responded just as hungrily to my kiss befently pulling away. "You..." He trailed off for a moment. "Love, I said it's alright." Said Jasper slowly and sighed. "Your respoo me make me happy and not lose trol. However... a joke like this makes me want to take yht here and now, to make it clear that you're mio you and any vampire that ys his eyes on you."

  Guilty I bit on my lip. heless, his words made me somewhat more fident. His expression of possessiveness gave me a feeling that I’m protected and secure. He created space between our bodies when he pulled away but kept supp me since I wasn't holding onto the handle anymore. Slightly self scious but with this newfound fidence I slowly turned around to face Jasper properly. Somehow I was getting fortable, being naked around him.

  Reag up to put my arm around his neck, I tried to ighe tingly sensation as my exposed breasts touched his bare skin. He rested his big warm hands on my hips."Please five me, darling." Guilty that I made him angry, I wao make it right again. "I-I didn't want to anger you. Although, I liked it when you said that I'm yours..." I felt my cheeks get warmer, admitting that.

  *Jasper's POV

  After Aook off her bra. I hesitated for a moment, pting if it's ok for me to help her take off her panties as well. But before I could decide or ask her, she ma on her own while holding onto a metal handle on the wall to steady herself.

  Admiring my current view of her perfeow naked, peach shaped ass I hardly noticed that Annabell got the shower ready. "Jay, is something wrong?" I finally registered her worried voice.

  "Yes...? No. Nothing's wrong, angel." I stumbled over my reply, taking the shower head from her. Holding onto the handle, Ailted her head backwards and her silky veil of hair reached below her beautiful bottom to help me trate on what I'm supposed to do.

  Reag for the roses covered bottle of shampoo I remembered how she dozed off st time I washed her hair. "Please, try not to fall asleep this time, since I'm not holding you now." Even though I was serious, it made her ugh.

  "Sure." Giggled Annabell while I kept on massaging the weakly roses sted shampoo into her hair. It had nothing on her natural rosey fragrah a touch of pine wood. Suddenly I heard Aake a sharp breath. Knuckles on her hand turned white from how firmly she was clutg the handle when I felt her desire. W what exactly caused it I inhaled deeply to stay focused oask at hand. However, it had the opposite effect. Her excitement made her ow smell of roses permeate the air ihroom. So potent I got nearly dizzy.

  "Angel..." I found it hard to speak. Her hair was now so I put the shower head into its hold on the wall and reached for the sponge hangio it, slightly leaning against her warm back while doing so. Aook another deep breath resting against my body a bit. "You really like making it harder on me, don't you..?" I said quietly by her ear. Pushing my own desire, to taste the sweethat I could smell, aside.

  Her heart was beating rapidly. She only shook her head and with a gasp she pulled her warm body away from mine. "My sweet little temptation." I whispered, kissing her shoulder before leaning back further away again.

  Feeling disappoi in Annabell's emotions, I wao tease her some more. However, it quickly disappeared and got repced by slowly growing panic. "Ann?" Nothing. Her sudden ay and ck of response worried me. "Ann, what's wrong?" Gently pg my hand on her shoulder I tried to calm her down.

  "I'm sorry." Apologized Annabell quietly. "I-I don't mean to..." She felt guilty. Ah, I should have known she'd overthink it. Bming herself. I shook my head. It certainly wasn't easiest to handle myself when I felt her desire but I was determio keep my own desires at bay and help her learn about her own body first. I also found myself enjoying it immensely.

  I couldn't help a relieved sigh. "My beloved ahey say practice makes perfect. It's alright. Don't apologize, Ann." I started to carefully wash her back. "I admit, it's not easy not giving in to the temptation... However, I will keep my word to you." I reassured her trying to keep my voice soothing. "We have ay and after two turies that I, although unknowingly, waited for you, I'll gdly wait awo if you need me to. Just... stay by my side. I love you Annabell and being able to feel that my touch has the same effe you as yours has on me, makes me happy." I fessed, meaning every word.

  With a mysterious smile, Aurned her head to face me over her shoulder. "Thank you sir, but if you'll wait two hundred years I might have to find another vampire." She giggled but I didn't find it funny. I knew she was only teasing me, yet a low growl vibrated through my chest at the thought of anuy toug her soft body.

  I grabbed her hips and pulled her to me, ing my arm around her waist. Annabell gasped in surprise when I pressed her warm feminine form to my firm body. Keeping her face turo me, with my hand on her cheek I leaned closer. "You are mine." I stated. Her breathing hitched and a thought that I might have scared her crossed my mind. Before I could firm or a it, Annabell hungrily pressed her lips to mine, causiet my s. I responded with the same hunger. Mine...

  Making myself remember where we are and why I gently pulled away. "You..." Finding myself lost for words for a moment I tried to uand what was going through her head. "Love, I said it's alright." I started slowly and couldn't keep from sighing. "Your respoo me make me happy and not lose trol. However... a joke like this makes me want to take yht here and now, to make it clear that you're mio you and any vampire that ys his eyes on you."

  Annabell bit her lip, feeling guilty. She slowly turned pletely around to face me. I kept my arm around her waist to steady her if she needed. She seemed a little nervous but fident. Reag up, Annabell put her arm around my nebsp;Oh dear... That I made sure to keep my eyes on her emerald ones, or anywhere above her delicate colrbones for that matter, didn't help me much when she embraced me, gently pressing her naked voluptuous form to me. Resting my hands on her hips I waited. She looked like she wao say something and I was desperately trying to focus on her feeling guilty, instead of the feeling of her soft, full, warm and most of all, bare breasts on my skin.

  "Please five me, darling." Started Annabell, quietly. "I-I didn't want to anger you." Pausing, she blushed. "Although, I liked it when you said that I'm yours..." She admitted. Why did I think that what she'd say would help to distract me? The thought almost made me chuckle. When did she ever do anything the way I expected her to? "I hate this." Mumbled Annabell frowning, motioning to her broken arm. "'t even hug you properly..." She pined, annoyed.

  "You're so cute." I chuckled. "We o finish your shower." Leaning down to her I lowered my voice, guessing her rea. "Then I hug you all night long if you want." Making it sound suggestive, I watched her bite on her lip so hard I was worried she'd hurt herself. I was sure she also stopped breathing for a moment. "Angel, breath."

  Chug again I caressed her burning cheek and slowly resumed washing her delicate skin, as her breathiuro normal rate. “What would you like for breakfast, angel?” I made an attempt to distract myself while gently washing her perfectly rounded breasts to keep myself from appreciating them more closely.

  “I-I want ummm…” Annabell seemed to have trouble speaking, making me grin. After a little while she huffed. “No idea.” She breathed out and bit on her lip again. When I was doh her beautiful chest and started moving down across her smooth and ft stomach, Annabell caught my hand. “I… Thank you. I-I hahe rest.” She said nervously.

  “Alright.” Handihe sponge I kissed her forehead. “I’m ok with baby steps, love. However, I think today’s been a huge progress. Do you wao wait outside?”

  Annabell rexed again and still deeply blushing, smiled at me. “Stay, just… turn around. Please?”

  “Of course, angel.” I replied, turning my back to her. “I’m here if you need anything, all you o do is say so.” I reminded her softly, closing my eyes and enjoying the feeling when she pced her hand on my back for a moment.

  For the first time I really looked at the room itself. It wasn’t too spacious but it wasn’t small either. Bck marble on the floor, white marble tiles on the walls i trast. With a thin silver li the height of my shoulders runniweeiles around the whole room. To my side was a white por wash-basin on a wall o the big white bathtub that was now behind me. In a er oher side of the basin stood a washing mae with a dryer on top of it. On my other side was standing a high et with shelves. It was made of wood so dark it appeared bck. There were a few folded towels on the open shelves, while a velvet looking, dark red bathrobe hung on a peg on the side of the et.

  The bathroom was simple yet elegant. However, something seemed a little off to me. Taking another look around me I realized that there was an object, usual for bathroom, missing. There’s no mirror. I thought, perplexed. There was a gss shelf with on hygiene ies like toothbrush, paste and hair brush by the basin but no mirror. “Ann…?” In my momentary fusion, I wao ask about it, when the absurdity of my question occurred to me.

  “Yes?” Replied Annabell, curious.

  “Umm… everything ok, over there?” I decided to check up on her instead. My obviously dumb question would most likely just make her sad. Annabell didn’t have a need for a mirror. It was useless to her.

  “Yes.” I could hear her turn off the water, indig that she was done. “ you get me a towel and the bathrobe hanging by the door please?”

  When I took the bathrobe down from the et I found it was just as soft as it looked. Turning to Annabell with it, I stood breathless for a few seds. With the distance of few steps, I could admire my mate’s whole body. She looked like a goddess. Even though a little shy, lightly blushing as she kept her arm around her middle, knowing it doesn’t cover anything of her beautiful, naked curves.
