Chapter 2
A/N: I don't own anything twilight Stephanie Meyer does. I only own my characters.
CarlislePOV:
The days are just flying by now that Nathifa is in my life. We left Volterra a few days after we made love for the first time. I'm excited to be able to see the world with her. She is unlike any being I ever knew. She is so free and untamed. She draws attention where ever we go. She still dresses like the ancient Egyptian goddess she was. I asked her once why she didn't wear traditional clothing and try to blend in as I do. "I was never one to fade into the background."She replied with a sweet smile. Sometimes I wish I had half of her confidence.
We were currently renting a house on Rhodes an island off the cost of Greece. I could stay here forever with her just like this. She had just come back from a hunt and her skin and cheeks were flush with color as the blood coursed through her body. It was one of the rare occasions when her silky black hair was out of its plaits and fell to her waist in waves and she wore no kohl on her eyes. She was even more beautiful without her exotic trappings.
I watched as she stood on the balcony with the breeze off the ocean blowing her long hair about her. It was in this moment that I knew I loved her and that I always will. She looks over her shoulder at me and gives me a sexy smirk. I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her waist and place my chin on her shoulder. She leans into me and the feel of her skin warmed from her recent hunt feels so good against my cold hard skin. It fascinates me that she is immortal but that her skin can be pierced like a human. The only difference is that she can heal impossibly fast.
The white of her dress makes her skin glow. She never shies away from baring her skin or body unlike me who was extremely shy about her seeing my naked form. She has a band of fabric tied tightly around her full breast and her torso is bare. Her skirt hangs low on her full hips. She turns to face me and kisses me softly on the lips. I could never get enough of her cardamom and rose water taste. "I would have you love me."She says in her sensual voice. A voice that caresses you when spoke. We were just two people standing next to each other in this moment. A man and a woman and she looks indescribably lovely to me, so pure and otherworldly. "I already do."I say honestly. She pulls me closer and her shining green orbs lock with my golden ones and she says "I love you too."
She bites her tongue with her tiny fang then pulls me into a fierce kiss. The taste of her mixed with the blood is the most intoxicating thing I have ever experienced. It's the sweetest nectar and the monster in me screams out for more. She pulls away breathless and her plump lips are swollen and stained red from the kiss. Her blood dances through my veins and makes me feel like I'm drunk on the sweetest wine. "Come with me."She says. She leads me to the brocade sofa and sits me down.
She stands in the center of our bedroom with her back to me. She begins to sway her hips seductively. Her body moves like a snake. She slowly unties the knot that is holding her top to her body. She glances over her shoulder then drops the fabric to the floor. My desire for her is evident by the bulge in my trousers. She continues to move like a belly dancer. Her luscious hips swaying causing me to groan in anticipation, then she pushes her full skirt down and lets it pool at her bare feet. She turns around and stands completely bare in front of me and the sight is exquisite.
She climbs in my lap straddling my waist. I can't help but run my hands up and down her smooth skin. She has brought out a side of me that I never knew existed. I feel so free with her. Free of what was socially acceptable, proper, and morally right. None of those things matter when I am with her. I spent my human life doing what was expected of me by my father. It was only as a vampire that I was free to be the young man I truly was.
Nathifa is a force of nature that no matter how hard you try you can't fight it and I don't want to. The demon in me relishes the carnal pleasure I share with her. I pull her closer to me and kiss her passionately. Her tiny fingers make fast work of my shirt and soon it is off. The feel of her hands on my marble chest causes me to become even harder. I continue to kiss her slender throat down to her collar bone. She arches her back exposing her beautiful breast to me. I suckle both causing her to moan my name repeatedly like a prayer. I kisse the swell of her breast and the monster in me can't resist the urge to bite her. I plunge my teeth in her soft flesh and her blood runs over my tongue like the smoothest silk.
I pulled away drunk on her essence. The wound heals almost immediately. All that is left are a few droplets of sweet blood that I greedily lap up. She climbs off my lap and pulls me towards the bed. She hastily helps me out of my trousers. We fell on the bed intertwining our limbs in a sensual embrace. We spend the rest of the night exploring and discovering each others bodies and pleasuring each other till we are spent and contented.
Present Day…
A knock on my door brings me out of my memories. "Come in." I say. Edward comes in my office with a perplexed expression on his face. He obviously has seen my memories of my time with Nathifa. "What can I do for you Edward?"I ask. "Nothing, I just wanted to talk with you. I'll just get to the point. Are you still in love with her?" My son asks with a serious expression on his face. I try to choose my words carefully. "Do I love her? Yes. I always will. Am I in love with her? No. I am completely in love with Esme." I say as honestly as I can. He looks at me trying to read my thoughts to see if I'm being honest with him and myself. "It's just I see the way the two of you are together and it just seems to close. I don't know what she feels for you. Her mind is closed off to me."He says worriedly. "Son when you have loved someone so completely and shared all of yourself with that person there will always be intimacy with them regardless if you are with them or not."I say trying to explain the familiarity that Nathifa and I share. He nods his head in understanding. "I just don't want anyone getting hurt. I guess like any child I don't want anyone getting in between my parents."He says with a smirk. "You and the rest of the family have nothing to worry about. I won't be running of with Nathifa in the night. Her heart has always been destined for someone else." I say sadly thinking back to our time together. No matter how in love we were there always seemed to be someone else for her. I tried my best but you can't fight a ghost.
A/N: Please Review. Next up things will get a bit strained for the young lovers. Not all is well in paradise.
