A/N: Had a total Xander moment after writing chpt 10. "I say, 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'" Yes we all want Rosalie dead. LOL! This chapter goes out to Becjane. Thanks to abbymickey24 for beta'ing this fine specimen of fluffy ***lime time fun and to my darlin' stephlite for pre-reading this baby.

Chapter 11: Love Me Tender

EmPOV
"You will not run from me again Isabella. As I will never part from you. You are MINE! And don't you forget it." I growled out to her. Then I slammed my lips down onto hers and reignited the fire we shared in Vegas. This was more primal, this was animalistic. I wanted to consume her and would not be upset if she did so to me. I licked her lips begging for entrance. She parted her blush colored lips for me and I made my way in, exploring her mouth and her taste. She tasted marvelous and damn I couldn't wait to taste the rest.

Bella moaned in my mouth and I pressed my body into her. She could fully feel how hard I was for her. I had to make her mine, all mine. I began to kiss down her neck.

"Bella…I need you. I love you." I ground into her center and began to smell her arousal. I could taste the pureness of it in the air.

"Em…mmmmm….baby I need….uhhh..God that feels good." She wrapped her legs around me and I grabbed her legs and hitched them around me more. Thank whatever the fuck deity we vamps worship... My Isabella was wearing a dress. I ran my hands up her legs, kissing across her chest, just over her tasty peaks. I cannot wait to nibble on those. I was almost to the promise land, but if Bella keeps grinding herself into me like she was, I was going to embarrass myself and come in my pants.

"Carlisle I think I smell them this way." I heard Esme's voice shout out not far away from us.

Shit! Not now! I looked at Bella's face and she had heard them as well. I thought her eyes were going to pop out her head. We scrambled up off the ground, pulling ourselves back together. I had to adjust the boys a little and will it to calm down. You really do not want to know what I thought about to do it. Bella pulled herself closer to me and I wrapped my arm around her, kissing her forehead. Carlisle and Esme emerged from the trees. Esme looked so worried and Carlisle had a similar stressed appearance.

"Oh Bella are you okay?" Bella nodded and frowned at Esme's worry. "Don't you ever run off like that again young lady!" Carlisle pulled her back to him and patted me my shoulder.

"Thank you for taking care of our daughter. I see that things are all better now." He had that same knowing look on his face.

"Yes they are dad…thanks." I smiled at him and pulled Bella back into my side.

"I think we should head back to the house. Where are Alice and Jasper?" Carlisle asked.

"We're here Carlisle. We had to…wrap up a few things." Alice looked at Bella and I. "So, how was your run back?" Oh great! The teasing is about to start. I was about to answer, but Bella did for us.

"Well Alice, it was about to become very fulfilling." The sexy ass smirk on my Swanny's face was priceless. I couldn't help but laugh and I pulled her into me for a kiss. I was so lost in the fullness of her lips that I forgot the audience we currently had.

"Oh Carlisle, they finally figured it out." Esme cried. I swear that woman just found things to sob about.

"Aww mom c'mon. Give us a break." Everyone laughed and we made it into the house. Bella and I recounted to Carlisle and Esme what happened. When we got to the part with the human, I didn't need Jasper's gift to see their shock.

"Bella how were you able to resist. This sounds as if you found your singer. No one has ever been able to resist." Carlisle beamed at her.

"Edward was able to do it with me, but it was Emmett that gave me enough pause." She looked up at me with so much love. I couldn't believe all that happened today, but I was so glad that she was okay and that she had accepted us.

"She heard me growling and it startled her enough to put her shield up. I never want Bella to experience that pain. Been there." I nuzzled my nose in her hair and she leaned in more into my hold.

We continued the rest of the story and Carlisle was concerned we left the man alive, but Jasper said that they waited to see if he actually believed it. Jasper said that he did and that he would check on the man again later to see if there was any change. Alice said she didn't see anything with him for the next few months, so it should be okay.

We all settled in the great room for a while just talking as a family. Everyone was finally relieved that Bella and I were together. No more than I was. God this was a long few months. I thought I was going to fucking lose it. Then it all fell into place. I could have done without the running, but I am beginning to learn more about Bella. My girl didn't handle change well. No vampire did really. It's liable to make you lose your mind.

A new morning had approached us again and I was ready to start this day with the love of my existence. Holy fuck! I should turn in my man card now. I had my arm wrapped around Bella, as she was snuggled up next to me. She had her feet up on the couch and Alice and Jasper were mirroring us at the other end. I stood up, ready for little privacy.

"I think we are going to turn in." I took Bella's hand in mine and she looked up at me with a twinkle in her eye. Almost immediately, it went away and I could see dread and nervousness pouring in. Then I felt the tingling of her shield incasing us.

"Aww Bella, you're no fun!" Alice whined.

"Oh leave them be Alice. We are heading out to hunt. Carlisle, Esme, would you like to join us?" Jasper, dude, I fucking love you man. Esme and Alice pulled each other closer together and started to snicker as they headed out. I sent Jasper so much gratitude that he wobbled a little into Carlisle.

"Let's go Jasper, before it gets out of hand." Carlisle chuckled and Jasper joined him, both soon leaving.

I lifted up Bella into my arms and carried her down to her room. I figured she might be more comfortable in her own space to talk. God I so hope we won't be talking for long. I laid her down in the center of her bed and laid down next to her. She turned on her side to face me and that look of nervousness was still there. Well I guess there is nothing going on tonight. My buddies were not pleased with this turn of events, but even they had a soft spot for this angel here.

"Em, I…umm…well you know I am not all that experienced. And I..uh…umm." She was stuttering and rambling and making little sense, but I think I got the picture.

"Bean, it's okay. I understand you are new to all this. But know I would never rush you or hurt you. I am with you always. We were in the moment before, I get that, but we can go at your pace." I kissed her nose and she smiled up at me. Her smile faltered just as quickly and she looked down.

"I just don't want to disappoint you. I want to be good." Jesus Christ! This girl just doesn't get it.

"Isabella…look at me." She looked up at me with her golden eyes shining with unshed venom tears. "You could not disappoint me. You love me right?" She nodded. "Then that is all we need. Your love for me is better than good. So therefore anything we do will be great. Like this." I leaned down and kissed her lips. She moaned into my mouth and began to lick my bottom lip. I opened my mouth to invite her in and we pulled ourselves in closer. I wrapped my arm around her waist and she threaded her hands in my hair. God, her nails scraping against my scalp was fuck awesome. I did not want her to stop. I don't know how long this went on, but I knew it had to have been an hour. Can a vampire get a case of blue balls? I raised my hand back up her dress, slowly inching it up. No sooner than I had started, she stopped.

"Em, I'm just nervous. This is still all new to me. I love you, I do. Just…" I am such a creep. Here she is scared to death and I am still trying to make the moves on her. Her pace Em. Got it! Check!

"I know…I know. It's your pace Bella. I have an idea. I want to take you out on date. We need a formal beginning. Plus it's still early in the day and it will give me time to set things up. Drop your shield for me babe." Bella looked at me curiously and did what I asked. I heard the piercing shriek in the distance. Then the sound of thunder and the wooshing of air. In the next few seconds at Bella's door was a much disheveled Alice. Her hair had leaves in it and the shirt she was wearing was inside out…..as were her pants. Shit! Jasper is going to kill me. I could feel his rage and the stomping of his feet. I looked at Alice as she was bouncing in place.

"You know what to do pixie, but with what Bella wants, not you." She nodded and grabbed Bella up and tugged her into the closet.

"EM! SAVE ME!" Bella screeched. As I moved to go to the closet, there at the door was Jasper. He was shirtless and his pants too, were inside out. I think it was my turn to ask for saving.

"Now Jasper, bro, I didn't know. I thought you were hunting with the 'rents." I backed away.

"We spilt up. You better be glad I hadn't started round two." He smirked and pushed on my shoulder. Alice and Bella fell out the closet laughing. I looked over and Alice was wearing one of Bella's band t-shirts and some chucks.

"Bella said I can pick her dress for your date tonight, if she can play Dress Up Alice." Alice frowned at the clothes. Bella rolled her eyes and strolled over to me. She had changed into a tight pair of skinny jeans and an Elmo shirt that said, "Tickle Me."

"What time should I be ready?" Bella asked.

"By 7pm baby. Don't be late. I'll be picking you up at your door on time." I kissed her lips, her jaw, and finally nibbled her ear. "Just a little something to remember me by."

"Me and my fucking pace. Argh." She stomped her foot and then grabbed Alice and they left to shop. I turned to Jazz who was emitting some mischief.

"So….how was the rest of your morning?" I threw a pillow at him and he dodged it easily.

"Well she wants to go slow. I mean…we're mates. Don't we…ya know, mate? I have this urge so strong to claim her and mark her as mine." I closed my eyes and remembered yesterday in the woods. How great she felt beneath me.

"Jeez Em! Give the girl a break. Do you know how long it took me with Alice? She could see the future and she still made me wait. I know you have been friends for a while now, but this is all new. It'll happen sooner than you think. I hate to admit this…but baby girl has been aching for you bro. It'll happen, trust me."

I nodded my head and I told him my entire plan for what I wanted to do for my date. I was going to take her on a hunt. There was a surplus of wolves here and they were tasty. I needed Jasper's help with setting up something like a drive-in movie. We had done it before, especially when we lived in rural areas like we do now. Lastly, I had a gift I had been saving for a long time for her. She had to feed first before I could give it to her. I didn't want her reaction to mar the gift.

Jasper and I got to work setting up the drive in. We pummeled the trees and made a game out of who could do it the fastest. I won of course, but I did cheat. It's not like he didn't ever cheat. We set the screen up and the reel. Carlisle was going to let me borrow Arsenic and Old Lace. I love that movie. It has to be one of my favorites. I just wanted to hear her laugh. I wasn't expecting anything tonight. I just wanted her happy and I would do anything to make that happen. I must have been projecting because Jasper smiled my way.

"Just keep doing what you're doing Em and she will love you forever bro." I nodded my head at him and we continued with our task. After everything was setup it was close to six. I needed to get back to get ready and wrap her gift. We headed back and I wanted to show Jasper what I was going to give her. I had it encased in glass as a show piece. You could open it, but I didn't dare so now. I didn't want to give anything away. I pulled it out from the back of my closet and showed it to Jazz.

"Is that…wow…Em…wow. She is going to love it." Jazz was stunned. That's exactly what I was going for.

Jasper wished me luck and went to go get Alice off Bella's back. We heard them bickering back and forth. I was so glad that Bella didn't let the little squirt boss her around. She held her own. I decided to go with my nicest pair of jeans and black polo shirt. I wanted to be myself and I wanted to be comfy. Bella didn't have to wear a dress, as I wanted her to be comfortable. However, if she was wearing a dress, I would be able to see those lovely legs of hers. Down boy! Yes, yes I knew I had to keep those thoughts to a minimum. I grabbed the now wrapped gift and flowers that I had gotten from Esme's garden. I did ask first. I made that mistake in the past. I will not be scrubbing all the bathrooms with a toothbrush again.

I took an unnecessary deep breath and walked across the basement to Bella's door. I got to her room and brought my hand up to knock when her door swung wide open. There she was smiling ear to ear. I couldn't help but take in her scent and let it wash over me. She was wearing a light purple halter top that tied around her neck, her shoulders exposed and welcoming. She was still in those sinfully delicious skinny jeans and her chucks. That's my girl.

"Sorry I was just a little excited." If Bella could, she'd be blushing right now.

"Good evening Isabella. These are for you my dear." I handed her the flowers and she smiled even more. She placed them in a vase on her dresser and made her way back to me. She closed her door and waited for directions.

"Have I ever told you how much I love it when you call me Isabella? I mean…I love my other nicknames too. But when you call me Isabella, well, it's swoon worthy." I had to chuckle a little at that. She looked down and I touched her chin to lift her gorgeous eyes back my way.

"I call you Isabella when I want your attention and I get it every single time. Let's go." I placed her arm in mine and escorted her to my jeep. I put the gift in the back and pulled off to drive to the hunting spot. She looked back at the wrapped gift and was about to ask what it was. But I shook my head. I had taken the top off of my jeep as the stars were clear about the night sky. Alice had assured me we wouldn't run into any humans, so we were clear. Having your car open like this during winter would look a bit nuts. Bella was fascinated by the clear sky. I decided to point out a few constellations to her and told her their stories.

"How did you learn all of this?" She asked still looking at the sky.

"I remember my human mother telling me a few. The rest I scoured Carlisle's library for a book that not only stated the location of the constellations, but the story behind them as well." She smiled my way again and held my hand. She pointed out a few others and I told her their story. We pulled up to the section of the forest where I knew the wolves usually roamed. I explained to her what we would be hunting and she was eager to try something new. I held her hand and she followed me through the woods. I heard their heartbeats and the venom started to build in my mouth. We separated and went off to grab our dinner for the evening. We met back up and Bella had a drop of blood on her lip.

"You seem to have a smidge of something left on your cheek there Swanny." I grinned.

"You try hunting while trying not to mess up your outfit." She stuck out her tongue and licked the spot away. I was mesmerized.

"Are…are...you full?" I was a sputtering mess.

"Yes. I'm good Emmy. What's next?" She was excited and I was glad. I knew she would love this.

We hopped back in the jeep and went to the spot where Jasper and I had setup the movie. I pulled over to the side of the road, grabbed her present, and went to Bella's side to help her out. She took my hand and the sparks flew. I had to kiss her, but I would wait till the end of the date. That is proper protocol for first dates right? I had to break the eye contact or we would never make it away from this spot. Bella gasped and saw the setup Jasper and I had done earlier. There was a large comforter, with tons of pillows on it. I had several lanterns around our spot, light enough to see, but still dim enough for the ambiance.

"WOW! It's like the drive in, but without the car. I love it." She pulled me quickly over the pallet on the ground and immediately took her shoes off. She plopped down on the spread and giggled. I laughed with her, just so happy to see her this way. I started the movie and went to sit down beside her. Bella crawled over to me slowly and settled herself between my legs. She took my arms and wrapped them around her and sighed. Yes Bella, this is heaven for me too.

The movie started and Bella mentioned that she had not seen this one, but was a big fan of Cary Grant. Yup…this chick is totally my soul mate. She giggled and snorted at all my favorite parts and even was a little freaked out by Mortimer's brother, Jonathan. She really surprised me at her love for Elaine.

"We were married today. We were going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Your brother tries to kill me. A taxi is waiting and now you want to sleep on a window seat. You can take the honeymoon, your wedding ring, your taxi, your window seat, and put 'em in a barrel and push 'em all over Niagara Falls!"

"You tell'em Elaine!" She laughed out and I was so in love with Bella even more. It ended and we were both pleased with my movie selection. I got up to shut off the film and close it up in it's case. I turned on my iPod and loaded it into the speaker system. I wanted to keep with the flow of the film and play some of my favorite love songs from the 40's. First up was Dream A Little Dream of Me, sang by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. I went back to Bella at our pillow palace, as she had so affectionately named it.

"May I have this dance?"

"Certainly Emmett." I pulled her up to me and placed my hand in hers and the other around her waist. We moved to the music and I stared down at her. She then placed her arms around my neck and I placed both of mine around her waist. We never lost eye contact and the song moved on into As Time Goes By. I twirled her out and back into me. I was rewarded with her giggle and so I did it again. I was not disappointed. The songs changed five more times while we danced. I felt it was time to give her the gift.

"So would you like to open your gift now?" Her eyes lit up at this and I laughed. I brought her back to the pallet and grabbed the gift. "This is something I have had for a while, but I wasn't sure when to give it to you. I was going to wait to Christmas, but I think you would want it now." I handed it to her and she began to unwrap it. I was quite happy with my wrapping skills. Esme would be proud. I heard Bella gasp and she became very still. "Bella is it okay? I mean, do you not want it?" This girl made me flustered!

"Shut up Em! I love it. How? When?" She was now choking back a sob. Oh no. I didn't think she would cry. She was caressing the glass box that held her father's badge and one of his flannel shirts.

"Not long after he died. I knew you would want something. You can open it ya know. That's why we hunted first. I wasn't sure how the smell…how you would react."

She gasped again and looked for the opening. She lifted open the top and Charlie's scent came flowing out. Bella pulled out the badge first, running her fingers across it. She placed it in her lap and pulled out the shirt. She sniffed it and I got worried.

"If he was still alive, I don't think I would even want to eat him. It's one of the best smells I have ever smelt. Peppermint and cherry blossoms?" She paused briefly and then exploded with laughter. "HAHAHAHA! Oh man Charlie would have so loved that he smelled like peppermint and cherry blossoms." She folded the shirt back up, kissed his badge, and put it them both back in the glass container. Bella slid closer to me and threw her arms around my neck.

"Thank you so much. Thank you."

"You are so welcome Bella. Even back then I would have done anything to make you happy. I love you Isabella, now and always." I looked down at her and tried to show her all my love.

***"I love you too Emmett, now and always." She closed the distance between us and kissed me. Bella pushed my shoulder gently, telling me she wanted me to lay down. She straddled me and continued to kiss me most passionately.

"Bella, you don't have to do anything you're not ready for." Shut up you fool! Well now even my rational side had given up. She was kissing down my neck, making little bites along the way.

"I know Emmett and I won't. But I have to try something I have always wanted to do." She then smirked up at me and proceeded to kiss me again. I let her do the leading. I placed my hand on her hip and began exploring her mouth with my tongue. She tasted so damn delicious. If she tasted like this all over, I was going to be in fucking trouble. Thank God we don't need to breathe! I then felt her take my other hand up her shirt. I don't want to push her, so I just rubbed the exposed skin there.

"What am I a fucking nun Em? I'm trying to get to second base here." Bella laughed out.

"You're the boss Swanny." I reached up slowly, trailing my fingers from her rib cage back down to her stomach. She knew it was coming, but I wanted to make her want it all the more. She was still kissing the shit outta me, going from my neck and back to my lips. I grazed the underside of her oh so wonderful breasts and her moan was priceless. I trailed my finger up over her lacy bra to her nipple.

"Yes Em. I definitely like that."

A woman that knows what she wants. Amen for that. Her tits are just perfect for me. I can't wait to be able to see them. I take my other hand and grab her ass. Bella is gasping and moaning and I so want to place her right over my cock. It is so hard and wa….

"Shit!" I moaned out. Bella had put herself directly on top of me.

"I just needed…something…more."

"Your pace Bella, your pace." And boy did she make it. She began to rub herself up and down my crotch and I was in a teenage wet dream. Bella is dry humping me and if this is all I am going to get, I am going to fucking love it. I palmed her breasts again and tugged on her nipples since she seemed to love that. I licked her neck and really wanted to mark her. She was grinding harder and harder. I didn't know how much more I could take at this point. Between her riding me, her tongue, and the feel of her in my hands, I was going to….

"Bella I'm so close…"

"Me too Em. Please, please…"

I don't know what else she wanted me to do, but I'd do it to bring her there. I took both hands and grabbed her hips, pressing her more firmly into my cock. Bella sat up and moaned hard and began to squeeze my thighs with her legs. I love this woman, I love this woman, I love this woman.

"Bella…I'm"

"EMMETT!"

"FUCK! BELLA!"

We both came together and it felt like I had been reborn all over again. We both were panting and Bella fell down on top of my chest. I caressed her back and ran my other hand through her hair. Bella started her damn giggling again.

"What's so funny? I thought that was rather amazing." I brought her head up to kiss her lips.

"Oh it was, but we are now going to have to go home like this. I didn't think I would need to change my panties at the end of the date."

Oh crap! She was right. This was not going to be good once we got up. But in all honesty I didn't give a shit. I laid my head back down and let out a laugh of my own. The music had stopped and we were just laying with each other in the silence of the night. I wouldn't care to be anywhere else right now. This girl had my heart forever and I would show her everyday that no matter what, she is all I will ever need.

"I love you Bella."

"I love you too, Em."
