Ch. 11: Wolf in Tramp's Clothing

APOV

I wasn't a happy vampire. No, I wasn't a happy vampire at all. For the past two days, Bella and I argued about her insane plan to act as bait for the jerk-off, Mike Newton. Just because she received immortality as one of the gifts from her Ordeal, didn't mean she couldn't get hurt. She was too stubborn and wouldn't change her mind.

Nothing I'd said or done had changed her decision, not even sex. I think that was the one that shocked me the most. Ever since Christmas, I've been able to get what I wanted after giving my baby a night of really good lovin'. Despite her continued reassurance that she knew what she was doing, I was scared.

Bella walked into the room in nothing but a towel. Her wet hair dripped on her bare shoulders and down her back. She took one look at me and noticed my distress. In less than a nanosecond, her warm arms wrapped around my stone cold body. One of her hands ghosted up my spine to gently massage my scalp.

"I love you, and only you. I would sooner die than be without you, because a life without you would be nothing. Never forget that," she soothed.

Her words eased a fear I hadn't given voice to. One she seemed to know about, instinctively. While my greatest fear was her getting hurt, another was that she would leave me for someone that could give her the one thing I couldn't, a child. She kissed my temple then kissed her way down my cheek to my lips. All the while she maneuvered us backwards.

The next think that registered in my mind was being naked in bed with the woman I loved. What portions of my fear her words hadn't alleviated, her lips, tongue and fingers melted away; stupid sexy wolf-girl. I still wasn't a happy vampire, but I was sated one.

We still needed to get ready for school, so I went off to shower while Bella got dressed. When I came back into our room, the sight before me made my arousal fill the room again. Bella was standing there in a red and black plaid mini skirt that barely covered her toned ass with a matching bra, an unbuttoned white dress shirt that was tied at the bottom, white ankle socks with lace trim and five inch, black, come-fuck-me heels. She had her hair done in pigtails and bright red, glossy, lipstick on her lips.

"No fucking way, you're not wearing that to school! You may want to be all noble and act like bait but you don't need to look like you'll bend over and give him easy access," I fumed and noticed how my last words hurt her.

"I'm sorry, that was out of line," I stammered as she pulled me into hug.

"No, I'm sorry, love. My mind has viewed this as a hunt and has been in predator mode thinking of the best way to attract my prey. I wasn't thinking about how it would look to you. Forgive me, please," she whispered into my ear.

I let out an exasperated sigh, "I bought that for you to wear for me, now I'll have to get you a different outfit. That one is getting burned when we get home."

Bella giggled and I finished getting dressed. We drove to school in my Porsche and I mentally prepared myself for what was to come. Every boy stared lustfully at my mate as she exited the car. This was soooo going to be a bad day. I needed to play my part, so I got out and said my line loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Fine, be that way. You can be a real bitch sometimes," I huffed then stormed off to where my family waited for me.

Rosalie observed my approach with a critical eye. Vampires were hyper-territorial, Bella offering herself up the way she was tripped every possessive instinct I had. She sat on top of a picnic table that was furthest from the mass of students. Emmett was on her left and she leaned on his right shoulder. Jasper and Edward were on the other side of the table, cuddling. I sat down on the bench in front of my sister and tried to reign in my emotions.

Mike was watching Bella's every move while I kept my eyes on his. If he so much as twitched funny, I'd take it out of his ass. A wave of calm shot out from Jasper which made me relax. The hard part hadn't even happened yet and already he needed to use his power on me. My Ulfheonar stopped when she reached the group Mike was hanging out with. Rosalie's hands grasped my shoulders tightly which prevented me from interfering with the plan.

"Hey, Bella, trouble in paradise," Mr. Short Life Expectancy practically sneered as he looked at me.

I gave a low growl and nothing Jasper did helped me. It wasn't until I unconsciously brushed a finger over the area of my Bond tattoo that I started to relax.

Bella laughed before she replied, "Not really. I mean, I love her to death but sometimes I feel like something is missing."

"I got what's missing right here, babe. All you got to do is ask and I'll give it to you," the soon to be eunuch stated boldly then rubbed his crotch.

"Maybe I'll take you up on that in the near future," she giggled back and walked toward the picnic table we were at.

It felt like my soul was getting shredded as I set my snare flirting with Mike. Just him looking at me made me want to take a shower to clean myself. I put a little extra sway in my hips as I moved from Mike's group to where my Soul Mate waited with our family. Alice cocked an eyebrow and gave a saucy little smile because she knew I added that for her benefit.

"You think he swallowed the bait," I whispered as soon as I reached the table.

"Hook, line and sinker, sis. Hey, can I borrow that outfit sometime, I haven't played dress-up for my Monkey-man in a while," Rosalie commented while her husband's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"You can have it. There's no way I'd enjoy it now that Mr. Two-inch Wonder drooled over it," Alice replied a touch miffed.

I made arrangements for Rose to stop by tonight to get it then motioned for Alice to follow me to the tree line. Just past the first row of trees, I spun a pulled the pixie into a passionate kiss. Every feeling I had for her was put into and we both were panting when we broke apart.

In a snap decision, I knelt before her and held her left hand. Her eyes started to glaze over but stopped quickly. She gazed in my eyes and waited.

"We may be Bonded but there is still something missing, which I want taken care of when all of this is over. Mary Alice Brandon Cullen, will you marry me," I asked the love of my existence.

"Not like this. Ask me again once this mess is taken care of, and you'd better have a ring with a diamond no less than four carats after making me even remotely think about that thing touching you," She said in a pained voice that tore at my heart. Then she bolted back the way we came.

I stood up and started to follow her when Emmett's bulky form blocked my path. He was shaking his head while he laughed.

"Dude, you totally got dissed, then dismissed. You should've waited until tonight, at the very least," he said in a tone of someone who'd been there, done that.

"I know, but at least she'll say yes when the time is right," I sighed as I walked with Emmett back to the school.

While I still felt like crap for coming up with this idiotic plan and had second thoughts about it, part of me wondered just how long it would take Mike to jump at the bait. I noticed the psycho beckoned me over as soon as he'd seen me. I guessed it wouldn't be long at all.

I'd watched Bella drag her dyke lover into the woods, and probably gave her the what's what speech. Alice had come back a couple of minutes later a bit upset. Her Amazon sister walked her into the school. The 'roid popping Cullen stepped out of the trees with Bella; this was my chance to cull her from the herd. So I motioned her over.

"Hey Bella, you look like you could use a friend," I called out as she stopped next to me. She smiled glumly and nodded.

"How about I take you out tomorrow, just as friends," I asked, not caring if she said yes or not because after tomorrow night she'd be mine.

Again she nodded almost as if she didn't want to seem overeager but it was there in her eyes. She was so hot for me; there was no way I wouldn't tap that after our date. I patted her ass when she walked past me into the school.

I couldn't wait; tomorrow night was going to be awesome. The hottest piece of ass in this town would be screaming my name soon.
