Ch. 10: Game Time

RPOV

The past week had been stressful as I sat in on Angela's training sessions with Emmett and poured over Augustus' journals looking for something, anything, which might've been overlooked. I hadn't found anything but I noticed a strange blank spot on the page that contained the label illustration of Bella's clockwork heart and inner workings. That blank space bothered me but it wasn't until lunch the other day that I figured out why. My sister had asked the Companion-in-training how she found the hidden invitation to the club in Seattle. The human girl explained how she used a black light and revealed the secret message. I was betting there was a secret message on that empty space in the journal and I would check first thing tomorrow morning. Tonight, Emmett had gone up to Seattle and the rest of the family was hunting so that meant my mate and I were going to have the place to ourselves. A little "quality time" would do us both some good.

There was soft romantic music playing, candles flickered on the table and in a path up the stairs to my bedroom when Bella finally arrived at the house. She dropped her overnight back to the floor and it made a loud clank when it hit the floor as I served up the veal scaloppini I'd made for her. She kissed me then sat down to eat the warm food.

"I brought you a surprise for later," the brunette girl quipped with a smirk when she noticed that I stared pointedly at the piece of luggage.

After she finished eating, we danced for a couple of songs then headed up to my room. That was about as far into the romance we got before the scene turned into something straight out of the movies. Our lips seemed to get caught in a magnetic pull that crashed them together into a fiery kiss. Passion ignited into an inferno then Bella's arms wrapped around my neck at the same time her legs found their way around my waist. I rushed us upstairs at vampire speed but still managed to grab the overnight bag on our way without our mouths separating. The second my bedroom door closed, she broke the kiss then moved a couple of steps away from me.

Bella led me to the bed then slowly stripped me. When I was naked, she ordered me to lie down on the bed and close my eyes until she told me to open them. The tone of command in her voice aroused me more than I already was and I quickly complied. I heard her unzip her bag then rummage through it before she pulled something heavy sounding out of it. Next came the sounds of rustling fabric as her clothes fell onto the floor. Minutes passed while I listened to her mess with whatever she pulled out of the bag. Just when I thought the anticipation was going to kill me, I felt her warm soft lips around one of my nipples.

I lost myself in the bliss as she licked, sucked and nibbled on first one nipple then the other. Her hands took over as her mouth and tongue made their way slowly down my body until her head settled between my thighs. Her wicked tongue worked its magic on my clit while she thrust first one, two, and then three fingers into my dripping core. I moaned and bucked my hips in time with her ministrations.

"More," I begged but she stopped and told me to open my eyes. What I saw made my jaw drop with shock; my mate was wearing a three inch thick leather harness around her waist. A small box was mounted at her left hip that contained a small switch and a dial, wires ran along the belt to another box mounted on the crotch that held a seven inch long, three inch diameter, metal phallus that glinted silver in the candlelit room. More wires led from the other side of that box and I assumed they wrapped around the belt until they reconnected with the control box.

The clockwork girl smiled coyly as she slid to silver cock into my stretched and well lubricated pussy. I hissed wantonly as its full length settled into me. Bella flipped the switch on the control box and the metal dildo slowly started to piston in and out of me. The pace wasn't hard or fast enough for the lust burning in me.

"Harder… faster," I demanded huskily but the other girl decided to torture with pleasure before she gave me what I needed.

For twenty minutes my mate taunted me by turning the dial on the control box in tiny increments until the toy was finally jack hammering into me at nearly vampire speed. She threw my legs over her shoulders so the metal cock was forced deeper into me. I moaned and I locked my gaze onto my lover's as I felt the muscles in the pit of my stomach tighten with the pending orgasm. We screamed each other's names as we both climaxed together. Bella switched off the toy and pulled it out of me then sunk to her knees and lapped me clean. When she finished, she lay down in my arms and kissed me.

"Did you like my little friend, its one of the toys Tesla made for me," she asked with a sigh. I nodded then cuddled with her in contented silence.

"My turn," I said lustily after a few minutes.

Bella removed the harness and I noticed there was a smaller dildo/piston that went inside the wearer. She explained that it ran on electricity and that the wired that led back to the control box from the dildo gear box/mount carried electricity converted from the kinetic energy of the pistons to recharge the battery. In other words, once the toy was switched on it could run virtually forever; at least until the mechanism wore out. By the time I was strapped into the harness, she was so wet it was dripping down her thighs. I positioned her on her hands and knees, wrapped her hair around my right hand then took her doggie style. I wasn't in the mood for a slow build up; I slammed into her at the same time I flipped the on switch and thumbed the control dial to full. She howled as I used the toy to fuck her hard.

"MINE," I screamed as the twin pistons of the harness made us cum hard together for a second time then jerked her head to the side and bit my mate's neck then drank a mouthful of her wonderful blood.

Just as Bella had done with me, I licked her clean then removed the switched off toy and cuddled with my lover until she drifted off to sleep with a sated smile. I held her for the rest of the night. Another gloomy day dawned in Forks but it wasn't long after that that the skies continued to darken. The original plan for today was for the nearly human girl and me to go up in the Air Maiden but it looked like that was scrapped because of the weather. Alice bounced into my room just as the brunette's eyes fluttered open and pussy blocked me from any possibility of getting morning sex.

"I know that Em is in Seattle but there's going to be a thunderstorm and Eddie suggested that we play some baseball. Bella can be the umpire," the evil pixie sang then danced out of the room when she was sure my lover was out of bed and headed for the shower.

"You're evil… pure fucking evil, I say," I yelled after the hyper gnome then waited for my turn in the shower because I knew if I tried to get in with Bella, the little monster was going to find a way to stop me.

Bells chose to go home after she dried off so that she could find more appropriate clothing to wear for our sports outing with my family. I finished my shower then headed down to Emmett's lab with a black light. When I shown it the blank space, I was hardly able to keep from shouting with excitement. Hidden text and two small diagrams appeared that revealed the double-headed eagle ornament in the center of the clockwork heart covered a keyhole and what the key to wind it looked like as well as whom Augustus had sent it to. It wasn't just finding this new information that excited me but the realization that the thing that was going to save Bella's life had been in my possession ever since we moved into this house. I decided to wait until after the game and surprise my mate with the news.

APOV (Angela)

The week had been long, between school and training with Emmett, and frustrating because every time I turned around I found Bella and Rose making out or playing with each other. My little friend that I'd bought in Seattle had become my constant companion and I'm afraid that I wore the poor toy out. I planned on picking up something more durable when I went back to the club.

Today was Friday, the one day I'd started to dread since I agreed to go out with Ben. I'd just come out of the bathroom after relieving the stress from witnessing another of my fantasy girls' romps when I rand into Edward Cullen. He was the only member of the family that I hadn't interacted with; in fact, he seemed to be angered by my very presence whenever I showed up at the Cullen place. Needless to say, I was surprised when he asked me to wait.

"I just wanted to let you know that I overheard Ben say something about going to a comic book convention with Eric tonight in Olympia," he told me when I turned back to look at him.

I hadn't bothered about wondering about the oddity of youngest Cullen son's random act of kindness because I was thrilled at getting out of the date and I could head up to Seattle a day early; Mom was letting me borrow her Sentra to attend the "Missionary" classes I signed up for during last weekend's seminar. My joy was short lived because I realized that I still needed to confirm things with Ben. During lunch, he glanced quickly at Eric then told me he was starting to feel sick so it might be best of we cancelled our date. Part of me was pissed that he lied instead of manning up and telling the truth but I let my earlier sense of joy and relief overshadow that.

I ran home after school and cleaned up before I tossed my already packed back in the trunk of the car. I kissed the twins and my mother goodbye and almost out the door when I ran into my father's chest.

"I'm so proud that you've decided to take these classes so you can spread the Lord's word," he told me and I felt a pang of regret about lying to him but that soon passed and I was running out to the car once more.

It was twilight by the time I was an hour shy of my destination. I noticed a car that had crashed into a tree near the shoulder of the highway. It looked like someone was slumped over the steering wheel. I pulled off in front of the wreck as I called 911 and told them where the accident was. As soon as I knew police and EMT's were en route, I got out of the car and rushed over to check on the driver. Something seemed off, so I pulled out the glass tube with the metal cap on one end from my pocket and held it in my right hand.

The driver's window was down and I reached in to check the pulse of the redheaded woman slumped over the wheel. Her skin was cold and there was no pulse but the second my fingers touched her flesh an electric shock ran up my arm. The dead woman's head snapped up and her red eyes bore into brown ones. I lost myself in her gaze and nothing else mattered. Movement caught my attention and I glanced at the tree and saw two men step from behind it. One had long greasy blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail and was shirtless. The other had short dark hair and wore a dirty dress shirt. Both had on ripped jeans and no shoes.

"I'm going to have fun with you," no shirt sneered at me and I shuddered involuntarily.

"James, you shouldn't play with your food," dark hair commented in a French accented voice that oozed boredom.

The one named James stalked toward me around the car like a predator. When he was within arm's reach, I hit him in the chest with the metal cap on the tube in my hand. The Mistress had given it to me at the beginning of the week. She explained that it was a stun gun that Nikola Tesla designed to run off body heat. Blondie dropped to the ground from the shock delivered by the metal cap. Two to one odds were hardly in my favor; while I was focused on James, his partner tackled me from the side and I hit the asphalt with enough force that I'd broken a few ribs. James recovered and the two men kicked and hit me. I tried to protect my face and ribs but the effort was useless. I screamed when one of the sick bastards stepped on my leg and broke it.

"NO," a woman's voice screamed. There was growling all around me and the sound of thunder but I was in too much pain to open my eyes to see what was going on.

The noise stopped then I felt something slice into my neck and fire consumed me. The last thing I heard was the woman bore I lost myself in the flames of Hell.

"I'm sorry my love, I'll take care of you… always," she whispered in my ear.

The baseball game had been fun to watch while it lasted but not long after my vampires started to play, two nomads rushed out of the woods. Being almost preternaturally observant, I noticed that neither of the new vampires looked surprised to see me. After the usual bullshit posturing, the shirtless jackass was stupid enough to try to attack me. Naturally, my family went into protect mode and Rose completely lost it. The newcomers fled but I knew that wasn't going to be the end of it.

The storm had passed so I told everyone that I'd head to Port Angeles and take a spin in the Air Maiden while they hunted the nomads down. Rose insisted that somebody needed to stay with me and Edward volunteered. He told us how he was the logical choice because with his mind reading, he would hear human drinkers before they had a chance to do anything. Reluctantly, the others agreed. My babysitter guided me to his precious Volvo and headed toward the highway.

"Edward, can we go back to your house first because I left my purse there," I asked sweetly.

Ten minutes later, we were parked in front of the Cullen's house and I got out of the car then headed inside. I did a quick visual inspection/inventory then made a conscious decision and waited. I was standing by the mantle when Edward chose to follow me in.

"Bella, we need to hurry before those monsters double back," he commented concerned.

"Cut the crap, Edward, we both know your pawns are going to lead the others on a merry chase while you are left with all the time in the world to make your move," I shot back bluntly.

I watched as his golden eyes turned black and the mask fell away to reveal the monster underneath.

AN: Dun dun duhhhhhhh. I had several pm's not to do a three-way with Angela so I decided against it but still wanted to give her a happy ending without Victoria being a stark raving bitch. How many of you saw the Edward thing coming?
