The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
(Chris Isaak)
I wrapped my arms around her bare arms and the warmth that was radiating from her human body felt so pleasant against my own skin.
"Are you sure that you want this, Bella?" I whispered so low that I wasn't completely sure if she would be able to hear me at all. Somehow I didn't want her to. What if she would tell me no?
Slowly, almost hesitantly I leaned forward to capture her gorgeous mouth. Her lips felt so incredibly soft against my marble-like ones that I couldn't suppress a low moan. Bella twisted her hands into my short hair and pulled me closer to her. I could hear how her heartbeat quickened instantly.
Maybe this kiss would be everything I would get from her and so I tried to enjoy every single second if it.
The tip of her tongue brushed over my bottom lip and I slightly parted my mouth to let her explore it with the tip of her tongue. I nudged mine against hers and the amazing contrast between our body temperatures felt comparable to ice against fire.
Finally she pulled back because she needed to breathe.
She gasped for air and opened her chocolate eyes.
"Alice," she mumbled and it sounded as if she had never really used my name before.
"I'm sorry, Bella. I shouldn't have kissed you like that."
Her face paled slightly. "Didn't you like it?"
"Of course I liked it. God, Bella, what makes you think that I didn't?"
Now she blushed. It was funny how the color of her beautiful face could change within seconds.
"Bella?"
"I don't know. It felt so…different from kissing Edward, so sweet and light."
"Bella that was the most incredible kiss I've ever had. I'll never forget that."
Then I sighed deeply and stood up from the ground. My knees felt like they had turned into yell-o.
"Good bye, Bella."
Bella wrapped her hand around my wrist to keep me from walking away. It was funny how she always used to forget that I was not human.
"Wait,"
"You can't just leave now. Not after you told me. Not after we kissed."
"Bella, I'll have to."
"No, you don't. I want you to stay."
"I know. Bella, but I also know that you'll never want me in the same way like I want you."
"Alice, right now I want you more than I've ever wanted anyone or anything in my life."
I put one finger under her chin, her eyes looked darker now. Was it possible for human eyes to change their color?
"Bella, I want you too; so much that it almost hurts. Will you let me make love to you?"
"Yes," The word was barely a whisper. "Alice, please."
She kept her fingers twisted with mine for the entire ride home. I forced myself to keep the speed of the car so low that it wouldn't frighten her. But she didn't even pay attention to my driving. I started circling my thumb over her wrist and the blood underneath it pulsated against my hand.
Finally we were in front of her house. She searched for the key in her hand bag and opened the door. Her father had left a note, that he would be spending the day fishing with Billy. I was just relieved that we were going to be alone.
"I need a human minute," she told me and disappeared in the tiny bathroom at the end of the corridor.
I closed the curtains in her room and lighted dozens of vanilla scented tea lights that I placed around her queen sized bed. Then I sat down on the edge and inhaled deeply to calm myself down. I couldn't believe that this was actually happening.
The bed squeaked as she sat down next to me and put her arm around my shoulder.
"That's so beautiful, Alice."
"I'm happy you like it, Bella. It's nothing compared to you though."
She shook her head and stared down at the floor.
"Look at me," I told her softly.
"You are the most beautiful, most desirable person to me." I pulled her shirt over her head and started caressing the exposed skin with trembling fingertips.
Bella started unbuttoning my blouse and the feeling of her warm hands against my marble skin sent a shiver down my spine.
"Tell me what you want me to do." I whispered hoarsely while I unclasped her bra.
"Alice, please. Kiss me again."
I licked my lips before I pulled her closer to me. Her rosy nipples hardened almost instantly as they brushed against my cool skin.
My tongue slipped between her slightly parted lips and caressed every single inch of her sweet, warm mouth.
Her hands started massaging my breasts so gently that I couldn't help but moan into the warmth of her mouth.
"Do you like it, when I touch you, like that?" she asked me breathlessly when I finally pulled back.
"Yeah, I do. Please don't stop."
I leaned forward and flicked the tip of my tongue over her nipples. They seemed to harden even more under my touch. I wrapped my lips around one of it, while I started sucking and nibbling.
A noise that was closer to a growl escaped her mouth. I decided that it was the sexiest noise I had ever heard in my existence.
I wanted to show her that I really loved her and so I tried to worship each single inch of her body with my lips and my hands.
It was probably very close to a human that was drinking salted water. The more you drink it the more the thirst increases.
I just couldn't get enough of her. The way her body reacted to my touch was so amazing.
One piece after another of our clothes landed on the carpet until there was finally nothing between us apart from the tin fabric of our underwear.
The intoxicating scent of her lust, mixed up with the sweet fragrance of vanilla from the candles made me feel dizzy. I couldn't remember that I had ever been that turned on before.
Then I felt her warm fingers moving over the soaked fabric of my panties. If my heart had still been beating, it would probably have stopped right now.
"May I really touch you, Alice?"
"Bella please, I need you to. Can't you feel how much I want you?"
She pulled the tiny piece of - now ruined - lace down my slim calves and kneeled down between my legs.
Then she stroked the inside of my thighs with her fingertips until she finally, finally brushed her thumb over my throbbing clit.
"You feel like wet velvet," she murmured and started to explore the slick folds of my snow-like lust.
Two of my fingers slipped under the fabric of her cotton panties and the wet, heat that was waiting for me there was almost enough to bring me over the edge.
Touching her felt like coming home at last, I never wanted to stop.
The familiar tightening in my stomach that always started my climax sent a shiver down my spine and I turned my head to the side to fight the vampire instinct of biting her in the heat of the moment.
She inserted two fingers inside of me and curled them upwards. For a split second I wondered how she could know about things like that. Then I decided that it didn't really matter. My body started trembling controllable and my inner walls convulsed against her warm fingers.
"Alice, are you alright? Please look at me."
My lips twisted into a smile as I cupped her face between my hands.
"God, Bella. That was incredible. Now lie down and try to relax. I want to taste you."
"Taste me?" her voice raised two octaves and I realized that she didn't understand what I meant.
I giggled slightly.
"No, not like that Bella, I don't want to bite you."
"I just want to taste you…," My fingers moved down her stomach until I reached the soft curls between her legs.
"Will you let me taste you, Bella?"
She nodded her head, obviously unable to speak now.
I kneeled down between her legs and she cried out in pleasure as I nudged the tip of my tongue against her hot flesh.
I wished I could remember the taste of human food because I didn't have anything to compare her to. She was sweet like blood but there was a slight tart hint added to it that that I had no name for. Maybe it was just Bella and nothing else.
Venom floated in my mouth and I quickly swallowed it back. I didn't really know if it would hurt her but I didn't want to risk anything.
Carefully I entered her with one finger. She was so tight that I felt her stretch around me.
"Alice…, Oh Alice," She moaned my name as the wave of her climax rushed through her body and I greedily licked up every drop of her lust.
I kissed my way back up her body until I tasted something salty on her face.
"Did I hurt you?" I asked her anxiously as I realized the saltiness were tears that had escaped her eyes.
"No," she croaked out.
"Look Bella, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have…,"
"Alice, you didn't hurt me."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because I love you so much and I don't…I don't…,"
"You don't know what you want to do now. I mean about my brother." I tried to make my voice sound calm but it cracked like a broken record.
She nodded her head and wiped away the tears on her bare forearm. I handed her a tissue from the bed table and put my clothes back on.
"You can't leave now, Alice."
"I won't be gone too long, Bella." I kissed her cheek lightly and put a wisp of her chestnut hair behind her ear.
"I need to hunt." And I need to think about a way to shield my thoughts from your fiancé too, I added silently.
Then I smelled him and started translating some poems from Emily Dickinson into ancient Greek.
I pulled the shirt over her head and put the covers back. Should I try to escape as long as he wasn't here? No, that wouldn't help. He was faster than me.
"What's wrong?" She asked me as she realized the horrified expression on my face.
"Edward is coming."
"Now?"
I nodded my head and turned to her window to open it. Then I sat down on the rocking chair in the corner of her room and started biting my fingernails nervously.
"We've done nothing wrong." She stated and it sounded as if she was desperately trying to convince herself that it was right. I couldn't manage to look at her now.
"Who has done nothing wrong?" My brother asked her cheerfully as he entered the room through the opened window.
"Hi Alice," he greeted me before he sat down on the edge of the bed and kissed her forehead.
"I thought you'd be gone till Sunday?" She croaked out.
"Yeah, I know but I really missed you. And then you seemed so upset when you found out that I sent Jake the wedding invitation."
"Don't get me started on that now. Look, Edward. I'm really tired can we talk about things tomorrow?"
"Of course, we can, my love." Then he leaned forward and I felt him freeze in the movement. Automatically I stopped breathing.
"Did Alice borrow you that shirt?" He mumbled so low that I was sure that she was barely able to hear him.
"No, she didn't. W…h…y?"
"I don't know." Then he inhaled deeper and a growl escaped his throat.
"Her scent is over you; all over you!"
"Edward, please. This has nothing to do with you."
I rushed over to the bed to wrap my arms around her quivering shoulder but he stopped me and punched me against the wall with so much force that the paint splintered of from it.
"Who the fuck, do you think you are, Alice?"
Edward never cursed, he was too polite to do it but now he was about to totally lose control. I couldn't even blame him for it. If I were in his place, I would probably react in a similar way.
"Don't hurt her," Bella pleaded him and stood up from the bed.
"He won't hurt me," I tried to assure her as he growled again and grabbed his hand around my throat.
"Don't be so sure about that."
"Edward, please." She tried to pull him away from me but I knew that her chances were as big as moving a rock.
"Bella, this is just between me and this piece of shit that I used to call my sister."
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen if you don't drop that hand of yours in the next five seconds, I'm never going to speak one single word to you."
He loosened the grip instantly and pulled back.
I took a few unnecessary breathe through my mouth and realized that my throat was actually hurting.
"Bella, I know that this is not your fault. She…took advantage of you. I won't let her come near you again – ever!"
"She didn't take advantage of me. Edward, I asked her and I don't regret it. I wanted it just as much as she did. My scent is on her too in case you haven't realized it yet."
"How could you do that to me?" His voice sounded tortured.
It wasn't really obvious to whom of us he was asking now, probably both.
The wall I had built around my mind crumbled into dozens of tiny pieces and his eyes darkened so much that I could see my own reflection in them as if they were a mirror.
"I'm sorry Edward. I didn't want this to happen. You don't know how it tortured me for all this months."
"I don't believe you. If you'd really be sorry you would have left."
"No, Edward, no! You've already made Jake leave. Are you planning to do the same thing to everyone who is going to show some more interest in me?"
"Bella, please, can we try to pretend this never happened. Oh and just for the record. If the mutt had taken advantage of you like she did, he'd be rotting on the ground of a lake by now."
Then he turned to me again. His voice was cold and sharp as a knife.
"You'll stay away from her."
"No. I can't. Bella and I we belong together. I've seen,"
"Don't start with you stupid visions now, Alice! Everyone knows that they are subjective. You want her to be with you, so that is what you see."
"Edward you know that I have no control over them."
"That's not an excuse."
"I love her."
"I love her too, Alice. She is mine."
"That doesn't mean it has to stay that way." I stated calmly and I knew that he fought the urge to shove me against the wall again.
"You're probably the most selfish creature I'm ever going to meet in my existence."
"She's not selfish Edward. Jeez, she can't help for how she feels."
"Oh yes she could. She doesn't want to, that's the point."
Bella snarled at him and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Could you change the way you feel about me if you wanted to?"
"That's different."
"How?"
"Because she's a girl, it's not normal and she seems to have forgotten that she is a married woman. Alice seems to like to forget things that are unpleasant for her to remember."
"Edward you can't keep her away from me. Alice is part of my life."
"Okay, Bella. But she has to promise to keep her hands off of you."
"Whatever happens between me and her is none of your business."
"Of course it is. You are my fiancée."
"That's right, I'm your fiancée not your property."
"Bella you can't expect me to accept this."
"Oh yes I can."
"No, you can't. Bella he's right you can't be with both of us. You'll have to choose." I stated hesitantly.
Then I turned to my brother who had such a hateful expression on his face that it made each hair on my body stand up in fear.
"I'll fight for her." He hissed at me and put his arm around Bella's waist.
Just for the record, Edward. I'm going to fight for her too. Bella is a treasure and I won't let anyone take that away from me."
