The family was already waiting when we got there.

"Hey Mia!" Esme ran and hugged.

"We've only been apart for a couple of hours." I laughed, but hug her back.

"Baby sis! You cleaned the blood off of your neck." Emmett laughed.

"Fuck you." I said simply.

"Too soon." Alice glared. I met Jasper's gaze but smiled. I don't regret it.

"Blood?" Embry asked.

"Nothing baby." I pat him.

"Where's the Denalis?" I asked.

"They should be returning shortly." Alice said. I heard Embry's stomach grumble.

"Hungry?" I asked. He reddened.

"Just a bit." he admitted. I laughed.

"Hey, tell them we'll be back." I waved, dragging Embry with me.

"Where are we going?"

"To feed you, mortal." I smiled at him.

"Are we all staying under one roof?" he asked me as I sped through the winding roads.

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

"Maybe."

"Why?"

"I'm so used to having you to myself. I don't want to share you." he held my hand and kissed my knuckles.

"I don't like sharing you either." I admitted.

"Can we get an apartment?" he asked.

"If you really desire one."

"Well, let me meet your family before I choose to not want to live with them." I found a restaurant and they quickly let us sit.

"Are you getting anything?" he asked.

"Yes. Just a light soup."

"Drinks?" the waiter asked.

"A Shirley Temple." I smiled. He was a blond with lovely blue eyes.

"A rootbeer float." Embry added.

"Coming up in one second." the blond left.

"So. I've been thinking." Embry looked at me.

"About?"

"Nevermind." he reddened and turned away. I wanted to probe him some more, but the waiter came and interrupted.

"Hey, where are you from?" he smiled at me while placing our drinks on the table.

"I'm Italian, but I live in Seattle."

"I knew you weren't from here. I would remember seeing someone as lovely as you around here."

"Oh thank you." I smiled. He left to help some more customers and I turned my attention to Embry. His hazel eyes were hard as he glared at me.

"Don't flirt with other guys." he threatened me. I was taken aback.

"Did you seriously just threaten me?"

"Yes."

"Or what?" I sipped my drink.

"I will whip you."

"Don't threaten me with a good time, baby." I smiled at him.

"That's what I wanted to talk about." his sudden confidence was attractive.

"Whipping me? When and where?"

"In about five minutes here if you don't stop acting like you're drunk."

"Are you mad at me?" I batted my eyelashes.

"Yes."

"Earlier, you were going to bring up having a BDSM relationship?"

"Yes."

"I'm up for it. But we don't have a dungeon."

"We can build one."

"I'll just order everything online."

"We would definitely need our own apartment. Unless you want your family to hear me beating you senseless."

"If it weren't for Carlisle and Esme." I started. He calmed down from my earlier stint.

"What would you like to eat?" the waiter returned.

"Miso soup."

"Steak."

"And can I have a Fireball?" I asked.

"Cat, you are not drinking."

"I can and I will."

"Do you want the Fireball?" the waiter asked.

"Yes, ignore him."

"Okay." he smiled and left.

"You are going to get drunk? Seriously."

"Yes. You can drive."

"I don't know where the hell we are. And I know how you are about your car."

"I trust you with my soul." I looked him in the eye.

"We are getting closer and closer to I love you."

"Do you really want me to say it?"

"Yes, but I know you won't."

"Sorry baby." I smiled.
