Chapter 1
Excitement
(Bella pov)
My eyes fluttered open to the sight of my mate-to-be's sleeping face. I couldn't stop the stupid grin from appearing on my face as I listened to his even breaths. His long white hair twirled around our bodies, keeping me from moving away. Even if I could pull away without waking him, I didn't want to leave his deliciously warm arms that pinned me to his chest. His left arm rested beneath my head while the other rest over my waist. His fingers brushed against my lower back with each breath I took, sending shivers up my spine. When my legs tightened to hold the wave of heat back, a sweet ache bloomed between my thighs. My memory replayed last nights… activities and I couldn't help but blush. Z and I had been experimenting for the past week, but I just couldn't help the blood from rushing to my face. Z's response to my embarrassment was to grab my chin and press his lips against my own. He would pull away and smile at the new shades of red my face invented. It told me that he loved how easily he could make me blush and I refrained from sticking my tongue out at him.
I learned the hard way to never stick my tongue out at Z.
"I think you just invented a new shade of red, my darling." Z chuckled as he stroked my hair. He didn't take his eyes off of mine. He had just given me an earth-shattering kiss. What did he expect me to do? Shrug me shoulders and say 'Eh.'? Of course his comment made my blush darken in color. He chuckled again and licked the tip of my nose before pulling away. In a moment of immaturity, I stuck my tongue out at him. In the next moment, I was pressed against a wall. My arms were pinned above my head and Z parted my legs with his own. Z gently bit my tongue, barely nicking the soft flesh. He released my tongue and let out a low growl. "If you're going to point your tongue at me, you had better be ready to use it, buttercup." He used his claws to rip my clothes off and pressed his lips against mine once more.
I blushed at the swell of heat that accompanied the memory of my first punishment. I lifted my hand and brushed a lock of white hair of Z's face. As I started to pull my hand back, his hand shot out and gripped my wrist. His red eyes shot open. He took a deep breath and smirked. He pulled me close to his face and nipped at my ear. "It seems you still have energy left over from last night. I will have to rectify this immediately." He rolled his body so that he could hover above me. His fingers danced along my abdomen, trailing closer and closer to where I desperately wanted him. His purring rumbled through his chest, making his fingers shake. I whimpered and bit his lip. I couldn't wait anymore.
The door was kicked open by a very enthusiastic Demon. "Rise and shine, my Lord and Lady!"
"Cerberus!" Z shot up and glared at the Demon in the door way. "Get out!"
"Okay! I'll see you in the kitchen in ten minutes! We have much to do today!" Cerberus walked out, gently closing the door behind him.
Z fell on top of me. He buried his head into my neck, taking deep breaths to calm himself. I stroked his back with one hand while cradling the back of his head with the other. He growled in pleasure and lightly bit my shoulder. "I'm going to neuter that damn dog one of these days."
I giggled, "You know he means well. Besides, he does have a point. I have to solidify the plans for our wedding. Cerberus also wanted to start training me so I can rule beside you and not make you look like a fool. Not to mention your big meeting today."
Z lifted his head and pouted. "Can't we do it later?"
"No, the next few days are going to be crazy with planning and I'd rather get it all done sooner rather than later." I pressed a kiss to his forehead. "I swear, all you males are the same. Sex on the brain, 24/7. It doesn't matter what species you are, you all think alike."
Z growled and pinned me to the soft mattress. "Au contraire, mon cheri! I think of making sweet love to you, not of just plain sex." He pressed a soft kiss on my nose before hopping out of bed. I blushed at his lack of clothing and focused on getting myself ready for the day ahead. I heard Z groan as I pulled on my stockings but refrained from turning to look at him. I slipped on the red and black colors of my mate's 'flag' with silver accents. Mysterious yet passionate described Azazel perfectly. To be honest, I preferred red over blue. I remember when Edward and Alice insisted on making wear the color blue all the time because they said I looked good in that color. I never told them that I preferred hotter colors over the cooler shades. But those days are behind me now.
And I couldn't be happier.
Z nuzzled my neck as we walked down into the kitchen. He had heard my last thought and showed his silent support and joy at my choice. He nipped at the delicate skin and continued into led me to a seat. After making sure I was situated, Z took his place at the head of the table on my left. I gripped my hand and signaled to Cerberus to begin breakfast. A covered plate was placed before me. One of Z's servants lifted the domes over our food, revealing scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and toast. Cerberus dug into his food with vigor, not waiting for Z to give him the okay. Z rolled his eyes and started on his food. I followed his lead attempted to eat with as much grace as I could. From the humored glances Cerberus shot me, I was failing miserably. I gave up and just enjoyed my food.
The food was gone much too fast and the plates cleared. Cerberus pulled me towards the front hall with the energy of twenty children. Z followed behind at a relaxed pace. Cerberus was bouncing up and down and chattering about the plans for my wedding. Since Z is Lucifer's right hand man, his wedding must be grandiose and perfect. Even though I loathed the spot light, I would get over my stupid anxieties for my Z. If it meant that much to him, then I would swallow my fear and walk down that ridiculously long aisle and endure the weight of a hundred thousand eyes.
Z looked over at me, concern swirling in his blood red eyes. Cerberus continued talking about the invitations. "All the invites have been sent out and RSVP'd. I still don't understand why Z would let you invite the Cullens, but who am I to go against my Lord."
A sly grin crept onto Z's face. I knew exactly why he let me invite my ex and his family to my wedding. Z was against the idea at first, but I managed to convince to let Edward and his clan to attend. Z is a very dominant male. Let's just say that Z has no problem rubbing his victory in a vampires face. Z then came up with the fantastic idea of placing him in a room only a few doors down from our honeymoon suite. His planning was followed by a hot and heavy session that had Cerberus begging Z to shut me the fuck up.
Apparently, I am quite the screamer.
I shook the dirty thoughts out of my head and focused on Cerberus' chatter. My wedding is just around the corner and I am looking forward to an eternity with my Z. A kiss on my shoulder punctuated the thought. Z nipped at my neck and placed a hand on my lower back. The love in his eyes mirrored mine as Cerberus stuffed pastries in face.
(Edward pov)
The nerve of that damn Demon! Inviting me to his my Bella's wedding! If anyone should be marrying Bella it's me! Now she probably is suffering in Hell, being forced to bathe the blood of the damned and lay with that fucking Hell spawn! Literally!
Alice was miffed that Bella would choose a Demon over our family. She was going through different plans to bring Bella back into our family for good. She kept changing her decisions and plans, trying to see the final outcome. Most plots ended up with our death while the others were shrouded in darkness. I glared at Alice, willing her to find one small little detail, one decision that will bring my Bella back to me! Alice growled in her throat but stopped as a vision hit her. I saw the vision and beamed with joy. Bella was home with us! She was a vampire and looked a little upset, but I'm sure I could change that in no time. I am her mate after all. Alice couldn't see the decision that brought Bella home, so we would have to tread carefully. Alice and I would get us through. Jasper's gift would help as well.
Alice clapped her hands with glee and called a family meeting. Everyone in the house sat around the dining room table. Rosalie and Emmett's chairs were empty. Rosalie didn't want to risk her newborn baby around so many vampires, so she and Em moved into a little cottage about a mile from the house. Alice sent her text about our meeting, but didn't expect her to show. Rose was too caught up in her baby while Em was enjoying his new fatherhood. Esme was all too happy to spoil her new grandson rotten and Carlisle certainly wasn't against the new family member.
Alice bounced in her seat, ready to start. "Okay, so you all know of Azazel and Bella's wedding invitations. They sent one to us inviting the whole family…" Rosalie and Emmett burst into the room with a little wrapped bundle in Rose's arms. They took their seats, waving hello to all of us, and gestured for Alice to continue. "Hi Rose! So you know of the invite, right?"
"Yes we do, and we can't wait to see Bella and Z again." Rose beamed down at her baby. Emmett wrapped a protective arm around his wife and child.
Alice nodded, "Neither can we because we are going to use this opportunity to rescue Bella and bring her home!"
My family had various reactions for Alice's declaration. Carlisle and Esme looked uncomfortable and Rose and Emmett looked absolutely pissed. Jasper stared at his wife with a mixture of confusion and horror, wondering how his wife could think of such a thing. Rose hissed at Alice while mentally ripping her arms off and hitting her in the head with them.
Why that little bitch! Bella is perfectly happy with Z! Who in the hell does she think she is making decisions for Bella! Rose pictured banging Alice's head against a boulder and moving to another boulder when the other boulder was destroyed. Stupid pixie bitch!
Esme tried to calm everyone down. "I think we should talk about this, Alice dear. Bella wouldn't let herself be married by force, nor would she let herself be bribed into marrying.* If this is what she wants, then I believe we should support her."
"Here, here!" Emmett bellowed.
"But mom, don't you miss Bella!" Alice wailed.
Esme smiled sadly, "Of course I do, honey. However, Bella's happiness is more important to me than my own. If she is happy with Z, then I am happy."
"Esme…" Alice whined.
Rose chose that moment to interrupt her. "No, Alice! Z practically adores Bella and I will not let you ruin their special day because you don't have your life-size reluctant Barbie doll to dress up!"
Alice groaned and looked at her husband. "Jazzy, don't you think that we should rescue Bella?"
Jasper mentally flinched at his nickname. "Alice, Bella and Z have nothing but love for each other. I think that we should attend their wedding, congratulate them, wish them a happy marriage, and come back home. I know that you love Bella like a sister," kinda, "but you need to let Bella live her life with the one she loves. We are the ones who left, not her"
"That's the thing, Jazzy!" Alice shouted, "If we had never left Bella, none of this would have happened in the first place! She is Edward's mate and we shouldn't let Azazel come between them!"
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there, pixie!" Emmett held up his hands. "Edward was the one who forced us to leave, remember? You sided with him! If Edward really was Bella's mate, then he wouldn't have been able to be away from her for more than a few days! A mating bond would not allow him to be separated from his mate, yet he was away from her for over three months!"
Alice crossed her arms over her chest. "That's not true! That only works with mates who have consummated their bond! Edward felt the pull!"
"Yeah, the pull of bloodlust." Jasper muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me?" I snarled.
Jasper looked me in the eye. Watch yourself, boy! "I know what a mating bond feels like because of my gift. What you were… are feeling for Bella is not a mating bond. It's the pull of a singer. You desire her blood so much that it draws you in, daring you to sink your teeth into her neck and drink."
I snarled again. "No, I want to sink my teeth into her so I can mark her!"
Jasper barked out a laugh. "Sure, keep telling yourself that, mind raper!"
"Enough!" Carlisle shouted at both of us. "Alice, we should be happy for Bella! We are going to her wedding, not to steal her from Azazel, but to celebrate her union with him. End of discussion!" With that, Carlisle got up and left the table. He was quickly followed by Esme. Rose and Emmett took his lead and left, but not without a final growl at me and Alice. I'm sure the only reason Rose didn't up and attack us is because her child started crying. She and Emmett left immediately. Jasper stood up and dashed out the door. Alice and I were alone.
I sighed heavily, "Why can't they see that Bella has been brain-washed?"
"Don't you worry, Eddie!" Alice chirped in excitement. "We can do this on our own. We will rescue Bella and make her see what a huge mistake she's making! And I know just how we'll do it!"
Alright! Hope you all enjoyed that! School tomorrow with a test on Friday, so it might be awhile 'til my next post. Give me ideas on the gender and name for Rosie's bundle of joy!
Aren't you happy I started the sequel?
