TWILESQUE

Chapter 10 Mated!

EPOV

My fantastic mate had rescued me from a meltdown once again. I ran us to the treehouse, her body radiating warmth through me, stirring the seventeen-year-old vampire who wanted to claim his mate. He replaced the hundred-year-old blissfully ignorant virgin. This would be the day we would claim our mate; I forced my legs to go even faster.

Flying up the entrance tree, he had pushed the remote already, the porch extended and the door sprang open. His feet barely touched the platform before we were airborne, one foot touching the porch and barreling into the treehouse, his other foot kicking the door closed. He had to calm down or Bella would be one gigantic bruise; that was unacceptable.

Bella loosened her grip and slid down to come stand before me.

"Edward, sweetheart, please calm down. I'm yours completely but, more importantly, today you're mine. You are going to listen to me; you will keep that vampire I see so close to the surface in check. Do you understand me?"

She was glorious; the vampire was in awe, a puny human taking him on and he wanted to listen. He knew she was right to be so forceful; he didn't step back—he wouldn't give me a chance to rob him from claiming his mate—but he would give his mate the lead. He started to purr. Bella caressed his cheek… my cheek… our cheek. This was the strangest feeling, as if I was a spectator to my own existence.

"Edward, honey, we need to check we have everything to keep us safe. I see you're too far gone to answer me, so show me, or nod.
If I want you to slow down, I will say 'easy, Edward'. If you need to stop and release me, I will say 'Edward, stop'. You, Mr. Vampire, are going to listen to me, Ms. Human."

She walked to her set of drawers and rummaged through the bottom one; he was watching her, frozen to his spot. He was going to follow her lead. He was going to follow her everywhere. He couldn't exist without her. We couldn't exist without her; she was our heart and soul. We were in total agreement about that, but this was his terrain and I would take a back seat and observe. I would be his safeguard when Bella would need to slow or stop activities. He knew he couldn't take total control with his mate still human. He wanted to change her, right there on the spot, but knew that would be against her wishes. Being her perfect match, he would never violate her like that, so he needed to listen to her; he nodded our head.

Bella turned around triumphantly, holding a solid steel ring, about an inch thick and about four inches in diameter. "Now we are ready. Edward honey, if you are inside of that vampire, you need to divert the need to bite to this thing. You can't mark me yet. Make that body move and get onto the bed."

But the gentleman part of the vampire—huh, never knew that was even there—balked. He had access to all the perverted, and less perverted, thoughts of lovemaking in my head and he knew it would hurt her less if she was prepared lovingly. He turned to me, because he was too emotionally charged to use our vocal chords. He was shaking our head frantically.

"Bella," I said, "please understand that we will follow your lead, but we know that this can hurt you and want to make sure it is as enjoyable for you as it will be for us. Please honey, lay down on the bed and let us pleasure you, just to prepare you to take our virginity later."

"Uh, Edward? You're confusing me a little, so tell me if I'm wrong. If I watch you, your posture and your eyes, then I would say one hundred percent the vampire is in charge. But just now human Edward spoke to me." She was so incredibly smart that she recognized the human part in only the voice. The vampire was almost a puddle of goo; he was so enamored with her.

"You're right, dear, he's given me the speech because at this moment he's unable to; the growls and purrs are his, ours—oh damn, I confuse myself—us. Don't think about it; we are both me, parts of me. I will be his safeguard if his instincts take over claiming his mate. He will follow your lead; he knows he needs to be careful."

"Oh, all right, I'm a mess of nervousness. It's such a pity we need to talk about everything, no spontaneity allowed. It just makes it more awkward. Okay, you two want me prepared. What about us climbing on that bed to cuddle, fondle, make out like the teenagers we're supposed to be? I know that we can't make your vampire wait any longer, so come on."

With that said she took our hand and led us to the bed. Crawling up and to the middle of it, she turned around and gently patted the mattress beside her. My vampire growled and crawled onto the bed, like a cat stalking its prey. Bella's breathing hitched and a second later we smelled what it did to her. Her glorious arousal wafted around us. We were rock hard instantaneously.

He grabbed her shirt and shredded it off her, nuzzling his nose in between her breasts. She stroked our hair, scratching our skull; the feelings were incredible. This we both already knew, only this was the first time he was in control. He gently wrapped our arms around her, one around her waist, one cradling her head, and laid her down, finding her glorious lips and finally kissing her. She immediately angled her head to deepen the kiss and we happily obliged, sliding our tongue deep into her mouth and tangling it with hers, sliding them against each other for that fantastic tingling sensation.

Bella's hands were everywhere she could reach and it was not long until they disappeared underneath our shirt, slowly raising it further and further, until the vampire got impatient and just removed it altogether. Bella's eyes riveted onto our pecs and abs and her hands followed them. After she had her fill looking, her mouth started to follow her hands, peppering our whole chest with licking butterfly kisses.

I nudged the vampire, who sat there nearly in a stupor, to take her bra off and return the favor. But no biting her nipples. And nibbling only with our lips. Bella went limp under our ministrations, until she slowly started to buck her hips. We had heard in many women's thoughts that the nipples seemed to be connected to the clitoris. And looking at the evidence, they were right.

I commandeered the eyes for a moment and made him start to unbutton her jeans while I looked in her eyes, searching for permission. She smiled and nodded, moaning. Back in my seat, I watched as he very slowly opened her zipper, to loud moans and the bucking of Bella. His plan was deliciously diabolical; he wanted her to become impatient with him, and then he would shred her jeans.

"Edward, come on," she moaned, "don't make me cool down. Please…"

There it was, she was ready for more. A fraction of a second later, her jeans were on the floor in tatters. Another second later, so were ours. He dove for her lips and started to kiss her senseless, only moving to her neck to allow her to breathe upon my kick to his backside—ow, damn, his backside is mine too. His hands roamed her body—massaging her breasts, her round cheeks, caressing her arms, legs, and stomach—but still avoiding her most sensitive area.

Bella lay half underneath us, dressed only in her panties. We were in a pair of boxer briefs. Her hand, which was trapped underneath us, was trying to get purchase on the waistband of our briefs. Persistent as she was, she managed to wriggle it around to our back and sunk her hand into our boxers, grabbing our right cheek, trying to sink her nails into it. The sharp sting of her nails on our very sensitive skin fueled the vampire to rip her panties from her body.

When the source of her arousal was set free, I had to hold on to him with all my might, his feral reaction almost too much to hold back. Bella looked him in the eye and calmly said, "Easy, Edward."
He reacted immediately, loosening his hold and touching gently once more. My doubting nature started to think that we had to wait, that this was too much. How she saw it, behind the vampire caressing her and absolutely not stopping, I don't know. She did, though. She brought her free hand up to our cheek and rubbed her thumb over our cheekbone.

"Shhhh, Edward, it's okay. We stopped your instincts from escalating. Your signs work. Please believe me. We all need this. Shhhhhh, it's okay, I'm okay. Don't doubt this; this is what we all need."

Her soothing words acted as a balm on my doubts, wiping them away; the vampire purred louder and our hand slipped between her legs at the knee, slowly rubbing circles higher and higher. He was halfway up her thigh when she suddenly lost patience and grabbed our hand, dragging it up to where she wanted it.

The feeling of moist heat surrounding our digits was phenomenal and nothing we ever felt could compare. She was sopping wet for us. The vampire slowly started stroking her wet lips, distributing the abundant moisture all around and up towards where we knew she would be the most sensitive. Flashes of males searching for that spot fluttered from our memory banks, showing us the way to her nirvana. Rubbing her there would help to relax her; the next obvious imperative was to help stretch her entrance a bit. We knew we were rather large. And we would be that much more rigid—we already were—than any human male.

Slowly and very carefully we inserted a finger into her. Moving it in and out, her moans became louder and her hips started to move contra to our movement, making the resulting finger thrusts more powerful. We added another finger, earning even louder moans. Her walls were slowly stretching around our fingers. When we added a third finger, she screamed out incoherently.

Her face looked so beautiful, eyes screwed closed, mouth wide open, labored breaths panting in and out. Her thighs started shaking, a tremor out of her control. We pressed our thumb hard onto her little bundle of nerves and curled our fingers upwards, searching for that spongy bit that should trigger her climax.

"Oh, OH, EDWAAAARD, oh YES, YES, ungh… Ungh… OOOoohh."

Every muscle in her body contracted, stiffened, and held with incredible force for a human. Trembling, she lay in our arms, slowly coming down from her first climax ever. We had given that to her!
We slowly brought her down, caressing and kissing her, ignoring the throbbing between our own legs for now. Our mate needed us as she came out of her euphoria.

"You wanted me to relax; I must say you've succeeded," she said with a lazy smile on her face. We stroked the sweaty strands of hair out of her face and kissed her once more languidly.

Slowly her breath and heart rate evened out. Her endless deep brown eyes looked into our black ones. Her tiny hand rubbed our abs.

"Edward, will you please get on your back, love."

She phrased it as a question, but it was a demand. Determination had settled in her eyes. Now we were nervous; knowing that her signals worked did nothing to abate those nerves. Nonetheless, we did what she wanted, positioning our body in the middle of the bed, making sure our precious mate could not fall off accidentally.

Bella rose and kneeled beside us, shamelessly admiring our body. When she came to the black boxer briefs, her brow furrowed; she pointed at it and uttered only one word: "Off!" It was an order, a command. The vampire needed less than a second to comply. The remnants fluttering to the ground added to the scattered tatters of the rest of our destroyed clothes. Bella rose and kneeled next to us.

We moaned when her hands rubbed our abs. She flicked our nipples with her thumbnails; that made us growl. We were utterly incapable of coherent speech, only the animalistic sounds could come out. A low but constant purr made our chest vibrate under her hand. A feral growl left us when she suddenly grabbed our erection. The heat on it was heaven and hell in the same instant; it was so sudden that we almost couldn't hold back.

Bella moved to straddle our legs, and our hands started caressing her thighs. Slowly she lay down on our chest, licking our nipples and moving up, essentially slowly lining us up. She pushed the bite ring in our right hand, looking pointedly in our eyes.

Still, she lay on our chest, caressing and moving around, kissing everything she could reach. Suddenly she sat up fully, and our erection was hard enough to penetrate her completely at once. She hissed through her teeth and a single tear escaped her left eye. We stayed absolutely still, not breathing. The sensations were incredible; her walls were contracting around us, getting used to the intrusion. We felt a surge in heat around us and a sudden increase of moisture. The vampire gritted his teeth at the scent of blood when he realized he didn't have to worry about her scent.

Our brave Bella slowly opened her eyes, looked us over, and sighed. Her hips started to move against us. Our hands, which had been balled next to us on the bed, relaxed and restarted their quest in caressing every part of her we could reach. The pain vanished from Bella's eyes; her breathing was picking up again and her movements became more enthusiastic. Seeing as she was human, we understood the effort it took her to make these, until now unknown, movements. We hooked our arms under her backside and guided her movements: up, almost losing contact, down, buried to the hilt. Our instincts were trying to get us to thrust up into her with force, the vampire almost giving in until I tapped him, shaking my head. He relented immediately, instead holding our hips frozen at a slight angle, making sure to hit her most sensitive spot inside.

Both Bella and we were grunting and moaning and generally making it known we enjoyed ourselves. Our movements started to become more erratic; we could feel Bella's walls beginning to flutter around us. We felt like a tightly wound clock waiting for the spring to snap. The vampire started to feel the urge to mark his mate; he clamped his jaws together and I felt his determination to not bite.

Bella came down onto us again, but this time she swiveled her hips a different way and we both fell over the edge. A feral growl came from our mouth and the vampire lost his fight with his instincts; he opened our mouth to bite and I jammed the bite ring between our teeth. Fireworks exploded in our head; he clamped down while Bella's walls were milking our erection dry, spurt after spurt of venom leaving our body, coating her inner walls, marking her as ours alone.

The vampire relinquished control to me, chanting a chorus of 'mine, mine, mine' in our head. After the mind blowing climax, my only concern was my mate. She lay utterly spent on my chest, a very big grin on her beautiful face. Softly, she sighed, "Mine." I answered with the same sentiment and a matching smile.

We lay there for a long time, basking in each other, stealing kisses and touches. Bella took a nap on my chest while I stroked her hair and back. It felt as if I could almost touch her mind, as if our true mating lessened the thickness of the barrier to her innermost thoughts.

All phenomenal things come to an end, and so was our alone time now. We had, again, a very impatient pixie on our entrance platform vibrating that she was going to take Bella shopping, that I wasn't invited, and that she wouldn't take no for an answer. Bella had just woken up and saw the irritated expression on my face. She grabbed a notebook and wrote: Do we have company?

I nodded; her face became thoughtful while she allowed me to kiss her neck, with a lot of noise, I might add. It's Alice, isn't it? I can only guess what she wants. No more separation pain for us, so she thinks I will go shopping with her. Fat chance! I want to stay here. Do we have food?

I laughed really loud as I saw Alice's visions crumble in her head; somehow Bella knew exactly how to thwart the pixie. She couldn't be guilted into anything by her. On things Alice wanted to do, I would bet on Bella every time. Bigger issues were another story; Alice didn't steer those to be to her advantage. Alice had this strange idea that because she saw the future, she could determine what everybody should do.

"No, Alice, we will stay here for an indeterminable amount of time. That is our free will at work. No visions can change that, dear sister," Bella spoke out loud.

"BELLA, BE REASONABLE! YOU'RE HOGGING EDWARD AS IT IS. AND YOU, EDWARD, ARE HOGGING HER. WE NEVER SEE YOU TWO AT THE HOUSE ANYMORE. DON'T YOU LOVE US?" Alice screamed from the entrance platform. Bella's left eyebrow rose slowly into a bitch brow.

"Oh no you don't, Alice!" she spoke menacingly. "I've listened very well to all the details of mating. You all have been very lucky we can't travel yet, because we would have been gone on our newly mated tour for a decade. You're lucky to have any time with us at all. Now scram, this is our mating day!"

'Edward, please,' Alice invaded my mind, 'you're my brother and I miss you. Pleaaase at least come to the house.'

Bella took one look at my face and sighed. "Now she's in your head, isn't she, guilt tripping you to make you do her idea of nice. Damn, it's almost as if she doesn't know what it is to be mated. I don't want an audience; I know we wouldn't be able to keep our hands to ourselves. By the way, baby, I want you again," she almost purred at me and all thoughts about my sister left my head. "Edward, baby, could we, now that the vampire is happily mated, try and make love, just like we are now?"

"I would like that very much, my beautiful girl. I'll be in control of myself, you just keep me in check when needed."

Bella raised her arms around my neck and pulled me to her. She was lying on her back, and I was next to her on my side. We kissed long and deep, only breaking apart when she needed to breathe. My breaths were just as labored as hers, and my erection had risen again and was rubbing her thigh. Softly I bucked into her to feel the friction. My top leg slid between her thighs and she immediately started rubbing the juncture of her thighs against my leg.

We were a big mess of limbs writhing with each other. Her nails made tracks on my scalp, making jolts of electricity spike at the base of my spine. My whole body felt as if she warmed it from the inside out; wherever her hands touched an inferno started. It wasn't long before I was a burning torch, a torch burning for just her. My life, my soul, my mate.

Listening to her cues, I found her most sensitive places, like when I suckled the inside of her elbow, and she went wild. Or stroking ever so lightly just above her womanly curls, which earned me loud moans and a buck. I gave her a hickey or two by sucking on her breasts, had to keep it even.

And it wasn't that she was just laying there, doing nothing, she was trailing her hands all over me, also searching my body for the places eliciting the biggest response. Her nimble little fingers set my groin on fire when she trailed over, ever so softly, what she called my happy trail. My answering growl made her buck her hips onto my leg. It seemed as if my most animalistic utterings turned her on the most. I was very partial to her whimpering her need for me, and the mewls coming out of her when I played with her nipples.

Our interactions became slowly more heated and more driven to connecting. We couldn't get close enough, we needed to be complete. I untangled our legs and nestled myself between her legs, holding most of my weight off her by propping myself up on my elbows. My erection fell right where it belonged when she wrapped her legs around my waist.

I rubbed my erection up and down between her folds, feeling that she was very ready for me. The slick heat felt like heaven on earth, and my movements became more insistent hitting her most sensitive spot, the little bundle of nerves which stood out proudly, with every upward stroke with the throbbing head of my erection.

Suddenly I was kicked in the ass by the vampire, scolding my archaic language. I should call it what it was: cock, clit, pussy. I told him to shut up, that I would work on it and that I didn't interrupt his mating, he shouldn't interrupt my first time making love. He disappeared into his cage again. Luckily this internal argument stayed on a hidden track and didn't interrupt my lovemaking to Bella.

We were moving in total synchronization, ramping up the heat between us. I slightly changed the angle of my hips and slid into her moist heat completely in one movement. We both screamed at the feeling, and only a few thrusts later we found our completion together.

I kept moving in and out of her slowly, bringing her down. I turned us over, never losing the connection. Bella lay on my chest again, looking blissfully happy. Her eyes drooping and her breathing slowing down, I knew she would soon be out like a light. I murmured, "I love you."

Sleepily she garbled back, "lo-ve you t" and she was fast asleep.

A/N Well, what do you all think? Edward made me write it this way, I was halfway down the chapter when I saw how it was written. Then I edited it to be more consistent.

My recommendations for this week.

Firstly a fic in which Bella is changed by our unlovable nomads. Without any help she starts immediately on the veggie diet. Alice sees her change and that she's Edwards mate. The hunt is on.

Secondly, a Bella with a most awesome gift. And Jacob is booted to the curb. Also a most interesting soundproofed and thought proof hideout for Edward.
