Chapter 12: A Talk and Time Alone

Bella POV

Jasper, Peter and Alice confirmed that Edward was telling the truth at the end of his explanation. I knew that something was going to happen and that it may or may not be favorable to us. I just hoped that, for our sakes, it didn't get drawn out.

Edward came over to Peter and I and sat next to us. I looked at him with a smile and welcomed him back home.

"Ya know, Edward, I figured that something or another had gotten into you. I'm glad you're back to you. You just weren't the Edward we all knew and cared about. I was really worried," I said.

Peter just rubbed my back in understanding as Edward looked slightly surprised at my forgiving attitude. Now that I knew for a fact that it was someone using Edward to act that way instead of him acting that way of his own accord, I was willing to forgive him a million times over if that's what it took to have him back in the family again.

"Thank you, Bella, for your forgiveness. Even though I've been with my family for as long as I can remember, your forgiveness means the most to me because you're the one I hurt the most. I am truly glad that you found Peter in all of this; I don't know him well, but I do know that he will take care of you no matter what the cost," he said.

I smiled and, when he stood up, I did as well and leaned in for a hug. Surprisingly, Peter was OK with all of this. Maybe it was his gift telling him that I wouldn't leave him? Or maybe he just trusts me. Whatever it is, I'm glad he's OK with me being friends with Edward. While I am no longer in love with him by any means, I do love him as a brother.

Jazz called everyone's attention and, when I looked at him, I immediately sat back on Peter's lap and shrunk back a bit. This was not the Jazz that was my brother and it scared me a bit. When I looked back to Peter for an explanation, I was a bit afraid of him too.

"Don't worry, mi bonita, neither of us will hurt you. You'll find out what's going on soon enough," he whispered into my ear as he nuzzled my neck in an attempt to calm me.

I relaxed a bit and turned my attention back to Jasper as he began to speak:

"Apparently, this family is under attack by the most powerful coven in the world. Why? We don't know yet. We are going to find out and we will fight to defend ourselves. We'll need help so everyone who has ties with other covens and nomads, please get in contact with them. We'll also need to train. Carlisle, we need to see if the wolves will help us. Peter, Charlotte and I will conduct the training as we have experience in fighting. However, as urgent as this is, we'll start all of this tomorrow. For the rest of today and all of tonight, spend the time with your mate. There will be an indefinite amount of time that you may not be able to spend with them as you wish. We'll meet back here at eight tomorrow morning."

Sensing our need to have a more private place to spend our time, Alice flitted over and told us about the cottage that was on the outskirts of the property so that we could be completely alone. Just before we left, she hugged me and whispered in my ear,

"Just go with things tonight, Bella. They will turn out for the best if you do. I'll see you before you know it."

Before I could question her, Peter had me in his arms and whisked me through the woods to the aforementioned cottage.

When we got to the cottage, Peter carried me into the bedroom and laid me on the bed. Sitting on the bed next to me, he smiled softly and took my hand.

"Bella, we need to have a talk about when you want to be changed. We don't have to do it anytime soon but it's something that needs to be discussed."

I looked at him and smiled at his nervousness. I'd been thinking about it for some time and knew that I was ready to be changed whenever he was ready to do it but I wanted him to do it, nobody else. I didn't want anybody else's venom in my body but his.

"Peter, baby, I've been thinking about when I want to be changed and, honestly, I'm ready whenever you are. I know that we'll have to stage some kind of death, but I've already talked that over with Carlisle and we have a plan set just in case something happens and it has to be done in an emergency. I do want it to be done soon; however, I do have two stipulations to my change."

He raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner and I smirked with what I was about to say.

"Number one, I don't want to see it coming. I want it to be at the right moment so, whenever that is, be like Nike and just do it. Remember, though, that as soon as you do it you have to call Carlisle so he can set the accident in motion and we can all get out of here because of the wolves."

"That makes perfect sense and I'm glad you put it that way. What's your second stipulation mis bonita?"

I grinned wildly and said, "The second stipulation is better left shown instead of said. Just know that I trust you and am fully willing to have this one "human experience" before I'm changed."

He raised his eyebrows in question again before I pulled him up against the headboard next to me and straddled his waist. I leaned down and kissed him fiercely, grinding my pussy onto his already hardening cock.

He moaned and gripped my ass lightly, pulling me down against him harder without it being painful to me. His moan only added fuel to the fire in my belly, pulling an answering whimper from me.

He pulled back and looked into my eyes, making sure I was really, truly sure about this, before groaning and flipping us so that he was on top of me, his cool lips attacking my jawline and neck. My legs automatically found their way around his waist and I thrust up as he started sucking on my pulse point.

He shed us both of our clothes quickly, intensely eager now that he knew I was willing. He kissed his way down my throat, sucked and nipped at my hardening nipples without breaking the skin, licked down my stomach, dipping his tongue into my belly button. I was wiggling around and moaning wantonly and he hadn't even touched me where I wanted contact the most.

When his cool tongue made contact with my hot, swollen clit, I cried out in pleasure and shock. Propping myself up on my elbows, I looked down at him through hooded eyes to see him with a confident smirk plastered on his face.

I grinned wickedly and whispered huskily, "Who told you that you could stop, cowboy? Didn't your mama ever teach you not to start something that you're not willing to finish?"

My words elicited a growl from him as he attacked my soaked pussy, causing my head to drop backwards, pushing my chest out more. He brought me right to the edge of an orgasm and stopped abruptly.

I looked at him in shock and irritation. "What do you think yo-" I started to say before his lips cut me off. Tasting myself on his lips spurred me on more as I gripped his hair hard. He pulled back and kissed my ear.

"Ya should know to never tease a southern man; it only brings more teasin' onto yourself," he growled out, his accent more thick than I'd ever heard it in my life and I absolutely loved it. Before I could respond, his demeanor changed briefly as he asked if I was sure I was ready for this.

I ground up into him as I whispered, "You bet your ass I'm ready for this, cowboy."

He was back to his cocky self as he slid into me, causing us to both moan. I wasn't worried about pain; I'd fallen off my bicycle as a child and broken my hymen. I never thought I'd be more happy about that either.

His movements were slightly rough but sweet at the same time as he moved in and out of me. We took it slow at first but it quickly became fast and erratic as we both neared our climaxes. I could tell he was getting desperate for release but I needed a final push to get over the edge and just couldn't find it.

He reached down and pinched my clit right as he said, "Come for me, mis bonita, NOW!" and I did, screaming his name as loud as I could.

What happened next was a shock, but not unwelcome. As he hit his climax, I'm assuming he was acting purely on instinct as he buried his face in my neck and bit down, took one long pull of my blood, and pushed venom into my veins. This caused me to climax again and the last thing I saw before my eyes fluttered closed was his worried face.

A/N: OK, so, they didn't wait until she was a vampire to have sex but sex lead to her becoming a vampire. I'm going to run for the hills now since I'm sure that many of you will be mad for one of two reasons: that she forgave Edward without question or that the change happened this way. Please don't hurt me, I just do what the plot bunnies tell me to do, honest.
