Ch. 11: The Final Lesson
BPOV
With all the plans for our move finalized both my family and the Denali's settled back to enjoy our last day together. The only one that seemed out of sorts was Lola, she wore a calculating expression but I chose to ignore whatever scheme the little drama queen was cooking up. Partway through the day, Kate had started to purr seductively in my ear and I knew everyone was able to smell my growing arousal. Of course, my bear of a brother just had to open his big mouth.
"Jeez, Bells, can't you keep your woman satisfied," Emmett joked then winced when Rose smacked him in the back of the head.
"Don't be a hater because I'm better at making my mate scream out my name due to my very impressive skills," I shot back and the others just groaned. Emmett shared a look with his wife while Kate and I raced up to our room to get a jumpstart on the competition.
Two hours later, my mate was stumbling out of our room at the same time my sister stumbled out of hers. Each woman bore identical goofy grins and had mega sex hair. At some point, somebody had hooked up noise meters to the doors of both bedrooms that were attached to a laptop in the hallway. Based on the data contained on the screen, Kate and I had made more noise and were the winners. Emmett acted like a child and ran off to sulk. We went back downstairs and found that Carmen, Eleazar, Carlisle and Esme had gone into town to see a movie then go dancing.
While I rummaged around in the kitchen for something to eat, the remaining vampires thought that it was a good idea to go on a quick hunt. After a quick meal of a turkey and Swiss on wheat bread, I headed back up to the room to see if I could get some writing done. I gave up after twenty minutes of staring at the blinking cursor on the blank Word document and turned in early. It was around midnight when I woke up to cold arms wrapped around my body and breasts pressed into my back; neither set of which belonged to my mate.

Tanya and Irina took down an elk a piece then waited for the rest of us to finish our hunt. The rest of us wanted to make sure to gorge ourselves because we were leaving in the morning and didn't know when we were going to be able to get in another good hunt. Emmett was more excited about going to Louisiana than even Esme because he wanted to wrestle an alligator. After we all felt kind of sloshy and bloated, we re-joined the two remaining Denali sisters. I noticed that Lola was missing then I was pulled into a vision that made me groan. I whipped out my cell phone and called my father.
"Carlisle, there's trouble at the house," I stated curtly then hung up and flashed back in the direction of home. There was no need to explain anything to my companions because they were able to guess what was wrong easily enough.

This morning had been a nightmare when I woke up and remembered what I let Dean do to me, as much as I wanted to blame Bella for what happened I was forced to admit it was entirely my own fault. She admitted to Esme that she'd made a bargain with that Sam guy but then explained the details. It turned out that the bargain was simply if Dean got into my pants then in the morning he'd find out I was a guy and Sam would be there to gloat. There had been several points during the evening when she, Alice or Rose tried to get me to get me away from the human but I just kept demanding that they leave me alone. Once more, in the end I was the only one to blame, just like with what happened to brunette half-demon.
Thinking about the hybrid brought up memories of the past. What my life was like before Fate brought her into my world. Then those precious few months we were together and finally, how my choice nearly destroyed my family. Instead of the life I wanted for her, Bella had to endure hell. Despite everything, I still loved her but she was with Kate. That was just unacceptable; the Succubus was nothing but a common slut that was unworthy to be in my love's presence.
Bella was my mate; she belonged to me even if she wasn't able to remember it. I smirked when I realized that because I was a woman now I had everything she was attracted to. The poor girl wasn't going to stand a chance and soon I'd mark her then she'd be forever mine. I made a snap decision to break off the hunt to avoid interference from the pesky pixie then raced back to the Denali's house. The sound of her lowered heart rate and breathing told me that my love was asleep; the perfect time to put my plan into action.
I made my way silently up the stairs then slipped into the room that Bella shared with the slut and quickly removed all of my clothes. After crawling into the bed and under the covers, I wrapped my mate in my arms and pressed myself into her naked back. She started to wake up so there was only a few seconds to get one of my hands to her sex then bite her and she'd belong to me for the rest of eternity. The once mortal bitch foiled my grand design when she rolled off the bed and tossed me into the far wall in the same motion.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH, LOLA," she demanded angrily as I crashed into the wall and her once lovely chocolate eyes flashed to slit pupil scarlet.
I growled at the ungrateful whore then pounced but was a blur hit me from the side. Emmett had me in a death grip and easily tossed me out the open window he'd come from. Jasper caught me then trapped me in his vice like embrace. No matter how hard I tried, he never let go but he also kept anyone else from trying to get to me. Bella, now fully dressed, stormed outside followed by my brother with her demon half in full control. Whatever she planned to do was delayed by the timely arrival of my parents, Eleazar and Carmen.
"What happened," Carlisle demanded but before he was able to get an answer Bella turned to Tanya.
"The ring on your finger for your desire," the demonic harlot purred seductively. The strawberry blonde vampire flashed in front of the other trollop then placed the ring into her outstretched hand and kissed her to seal their unholy bargain. The next thing I knew, pain shot through my body as smoke seeped from my pores. The last thing I heard before the pain became too great was the brunette Jezebel order Emmett and Jasper to hold me down for judgment after the smoke cleared.
It had taken me a few seconds to realize that I was a man again after the pain receded and the smoke cleared. Once more, my father asked what happened and Alice was the one that finally told him. He and Esme looked at me with a combination of disappointment and disgust in their eyes. Instead of ordering my brothers to release me, they looked over to Bella and nodded for her to proceed. Never in my existence had I ever thought a day would come where the two people I thought of as parents turned their backs on me.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, by your own free will you sought to strip me of mine by raping then binding me to you. Under any other circumstances your lack of knowledge about vampire mating would be comical. Your punishment shall be poetic. Tanya has bargained for you to be turned back into a man in order to mate with you; a process that actually takes three bites. Emmett and Jasper will hold you until the mating is complete," Bella intoned maliciously.
Jasper pinned my arms behind me while Em forced my head back and to the side in order to expose my neck. No matter how hard I thrashed, I wasn't able to escape and I felt the sting as the Succubus' teeth tore through my marble flesh and injected her venom. It was a few minutes after the wound had healed before she bit me again. I stopped thrashing as the sting from the second dose of her venom started to feel pleasant. Part of my mind screamed at me to resist but the feel of her fingers as they caressed my skin made me crave more. Somehow, my pants and boxers were pooled around my ankles and I was laid out on the grass as a Goddess hovered over me. Tanya tortured me by slowly lowering herself on my manhood until it was completely sheathed inside her velvet folds. Her centuries of experience had me crashing over the edge with my orgasm quickly and her inner walls milked every last drop of my seed from me then she sank her teeth into my neck again and this time her venom forced a second climax from me. As I exploded inside her, her own orgasm hit and we rode out the waves of bliss together. My heart swelled with the love I felt for the exquisite creature that lay in my arms; Tanya, my mate⦠my everything, there was nothing I wouldn't do to keep her happy for eternity.
The bubble we existed in was burst and slowly I became aware that we were still outside and surrounded by both of our families. We disentangled ourselves then stood up to face the music. My thoughtful mate even helped me pull up my pants. I knew there was a lot to talk about so I suggested that we all go inside. I needed those few seconds that it was going to take for everyone to get situated to organize my thoughts.
"Everyone, as you can already guess, Tanya and I are together and happily mated. I think that the two of us need some time to ourselves so I would like the blessing of both families for us to live on our own. I've had my eye on a private island not far from Isle Esme that I was thinking about buying. I believe that it would make a perfect engagement gift for my beautiful Tanya," I explained then dropped to one knee before my mate and proposed.
"Are you sure, Edward," she asked me softly.
"Tanya, I know that I might never be enough for you physically but I love you no matter what and always stand by your side," I admitted sincerely.
"Then yes, I will marry you," she cried then hugged me. After a round of congratulations and blessings, I headed up to my room to find the number for that realtor in Brazil.

The last hour had been surreal and I fought with my conscience over what happened with my first son. On the one hand, he had tried to force Bella into being his mate but was it right to force him into a similar situation. On the other hand, he seemed genuinely happy and Tanya had been after him for decades. I was confused and concerned but it seemed like I was not the only one.
"Is it real," the Succubus asked my youngest daughter hesitantly.
"Yes. Deep down, Edward has loved you for a long time but his Victorian morals made it impossible for him to reconcile your nature with his beliefs. Add on top of that the fact that he'd never been in love before and the boy was a walking mass of confusion and repression. In truth, if this issue had been forced years ago then the two of you would've been happily married for years. I'll bet in a few months you'll get a nice surprise," Bella told her honestly then drifted into the kitchen to find something to eat.
The strawberry blonde rushed up to find her mate while Kate and I followed my youngest. Curiosity had gotten the better of the both of us and I leaned in when the other vampire whispered to her mate.
"What's this surprise of Edward's," the Denali sister asked
"He's an Incubus," Bella breathed back and smiled at our shocked expressions. Tanya was going to find herself to be a very lucky girl indeed.
AN: Sorry it's taken so long to update but I've been trying to figure out a good way to finish this story off. It was originally intended to only be about six chapters long but we see how that went. There are two chapters left so look for at least one tomorrow.
