Chapter 14 - White Christmas

Bella POV

A week had passed since I shared my history with Luca. A week of cuddles, kisses and promises. Promises that I knew would be kept. It was so different from being with Edward. With Edward I always felt I didn't measure up to him or his family. It always felt our relationship was on unequal footing. I could never except gifts or money from him because then it would have thrown things out of balance.

With Luca, it was different. Really different. I felt that I was his equal in everything. Maybe not strength but that was a given. I wasn't afraid to accept of give gifts with Luca.

With that in mind I jumped out of bed and to the window remembering what day it was. It was Christmas! I've always loved Christmas. The happiness and cheer in the atmosphere. And this year, I actually got to have a white Christmas. The only one in my life that I could actually remember.

Peering out the window I see that a fresh snow had fallen overnight making every thing picturesque. I'm immediately reminded of the classic holiday song Winter Wonderland. Snow covers the ground like a soft cotton blanket, icicles hang from the roof edges and tree limbs glimmering from the faint sun's rays and pine trees slightly covered with snow looking like icing sugar on a cake.

It will be my first Christmas with Luca.. First of many.

I managed to convince Charlie to do our Christmas yesterday. The day before that was a Christmas party with Charlie, Angela, Jacob, Dem, Luca, me, the pack and the rest of the reservation. It was a big party, they held a bonfire night with lots of food, dancing, singing and alcohol. Dad and Billy were drunk singing, let's just say they missed a few notes.

Dem surprisingly get along with the rest of pack apart from Paul. He's still temperamental as always, but we can see he's softening up to the 'leeches'. Even if there was a request of no presents for me, Jake and Angela still had given me something. It was a weaved colorful bracelet with a wood carving of a wolf in the middle and when flipped around the backside had a carving of "Best friends forever, A + J + B". It was beautiful and I would treasure it forever.

Christmas with dad was great, we didn't bother leaving the house. We made a home cooked meal which he gladly help me with. Surprised me that nothing was burned, he's a great learner when he put his mind to it. After a meal together we sat in front of the T.V. enjoying the show, talking and laughing about embarrassing childhood memories. Great quality time with dad. We also called mom that day to wish her a Merry early Christmas.

She was squealing like a teenaged girl and interrogating me when dad let it slip that I had a boyfriend. I was on the phone with her for more than two hours. I think I had fallen asleep at some point because when I tried to listen to what she was talking it was a totally different than what she had started with. I just answered with my general 'That's great mom' or 'Okay mom'.

I looked at the clock 5pm, Luca will be picking me up at 6pm. I started getting ready. First I took a

shower, then blow dryed my hair into soft curls letting it to flow down. I then put on light make up, he always said I'm beautiful without it but I needed a little boost on myself esteem. Since its Christmas I will be wearing silk strapless red dress that goes before my knees with a black ribbon wrapping the waist with my new strapless red and white lace bra and matching lace thong finishing my look with black ballet flats.

I had to admit I had never worn something like this before, especially the underwear which were intimidating, it's something entirely new to me. I decided since I started to change from shy girl to what I am now I should try it. No harm on trying something new like wearing clothes out of my comfort zone. Looking at myself in the mirror it suits me well.

5:45pm, I walked downstairs before grabbing his present and my black coat.

"Dad he will be here in a few minutes , there's food ready in the oven if you are staying in tonight"

"Okay Bel-" he stopped as he saw me. Mouth open and speechless, he was like that for about 5 min. His eyes tearing up.

"Wow Bells, you look...you look great" he said gruffly as he rubs the back of his neck and looks away.

"Thanks dad"

5.50pm there was a knock on the door. I opened it and there he stood, the man I was quickly falling for.

I think I stood there a couple of minutes just ogling him. Luca had the same expression as I did and dad was holding in his laughter, he was teary eyed and shaking from the effort.

I quickly said good bye to dad and Luca led me to his car. We chatted on the way to his house passing the time quickly.

As we approached the house I was in awe at how much effort he had made to decorate it. It was simple not over the top. Christmas lights hung from the edges of the room dangling down a few inches to make it look like falling snow. There were pine sprigs, poinsettias, gold and silver ornaments on the support beams and door frame.

As we entered the house I was utterly speechless, it was just so beautiful. I was assaulted with Christmas scents of pine, cinnamon and sweetness of candies. In the living room was a small Christmas tree a little taller than Luca completely decorated in an old fashioned way with candy canes, popcorn chains, Christmas bulbs, angel figures and a bright yellow star on top. There was no artificial light lighting the room just the warm glow of the fireplace. The wooden table was gone, some furniture moved to make a space in front of the fireplace where pillows of different sizes and a blanket placed was. I didn't notice my eyes tearing up until Luca wiped my tears away with his thumb.

I hugged him tightly and kissed him. "It's perfect"

"Merry Christmas Bella" he whispered softly.

Luca POV

Two hours to go until I pick her up from her house. I was getting everything ready. Presents all wrap and under the tree. Decorations are hung and arranged around the room and little bit outside. I had Demetri helping with decorations. Helping I mean making him climb up the roof to put lights. He fell once when I hit him a snowball in the back, his face was priceless. Thank god I have a camera that time. Vampires never fall so it was rather amusing.

I will be cooking dinner tonight with her favorite Italian dish. For starters will be a simple salad, Cannelloni with meat for main course and dessert chocolate fudge cake with a side of vanilla ice cream with red wine or if she prefers there is Pepsi.

It's our first Christmas together so I intend for it to be special.

5.20. Time to leave the house, I ordered Demetri to spend time somewhere else, go to a Christmas party in the city or something just to keep him away. He willingly agreed. It's been a while since we heard anything from Victoria, we are assuming she's planning something. But at the moment that problem is not on top of my list. My mate comes first.

Snow covered the surrounding areas and roads had an icy layer. Thank god I left early so I won't be late.

Approaching the Swan driveway my heart keeps on pounding from my chest. I'm nervous.

Breath Luca.

Don't have a panic attack.

Even though you can't have one it would be your luck that you become the first vampire in existence that does.

Get a grip man!

As I knocked on the door and it opened it felt like my heart stopped beating. Right in front of me is an angel fallen from the heavens. The red dress complements her pale soft silky skin and it matches her pink plump lips that are just begging to be kissed.

Down Luca! You don't want to scare her away.

Upon arriving to the cottage she was speechless seeing what we had done to the place. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, happiness, and joy.

Well done Luca, give your back a pat, need also thank Dem next time I see him.

When we entered the house she was mesmerized so by the decoration that tears started rolling off her eyes. I am assuming they are happy tears because she was smiling and said it was perfect.

"Merry Christmas Bella" I whispered smiling at her.

After she soaked up all the surroundings I led her to the dining room where everything was in place.

It was going to be a candle lite dinner. I led her to the opposite chair to mine, and pulled it out for her. Once seated I served the food. We laughed and talked. It was amazing.

After the food we went to the living room where it was warm and toasty. We got our presents and sat on the space in front of the fireplace. I first gave her present, it is the first draft of her favorite classic Wuthering Heights complete with notes and signature from the author. She gently brushed the writing with her fingers gliding the paper.

"But how? This ..." She's speechless.

"A friend of mine got it for me" was all I said.

"Thank you , I really love it. It's so amazing seeing this with my own eyes." she launched herself at me and thanked me over and over again.

She placed the gift back neatly in the wrapping paper encasing it and placing it down on the sofa. She then handed over a small back box wraped in red silk ribbon. Unwrapping the ribbon and slowly opening the box, I was in shock to see what was in it. A silver wrist cuff with a Celtic symbol for mind, body and soul. Turning it over there's an engravement of the words "tuum usque in sempiternum"(Yours forever) in elegant writing.

"Do...do you like it" she nervously asked.

"I love it Bella. I will treasure this forever" I pulled her close to me and kissed her fully in the lips.

She took the cuff from the box and attached it to my right wrist.

"Will you dance with me Bella?" I asked as I stood up and bowed in front of her and held my hand out.

"It would be my pleasure" she said as she took my hand. I pulled her up to stand.

I turned on the music. Her right palm rested on my left, her left hand on my shoulder as my right on her waist.

Ed Sheeran's - Give Me Love filled the air.

Slowly we danced to the music, giving me the same feeling of our first dance on the port. It's just me and her and nothing else. Just us. Staring into each others eyes and getting lost. As I looked into her eyes all I could see is love, adoration and joy. Each beat of the music we make a step and swayed. Matching the rhythm of the melody.

Swirling gracefully to the music I notice we are under the mistletoe. She looks up noticing it to and I saw something different in her eyes. Something I couldn't put a name to when she looked back at me. She leaned in gently kissing me at first.

I deepen the kiss running my tongue along the seam of her lips begging for entrance and she quickly complies. I place one arm on her back tangling my hand in her soft curls the other sliding down to grip her bottom pulling her flush against me. I hear her soft moans as her hands ghost up my body and tangle in my hair. Breaking away to breath she releases my hair I still see that unidentifiable light in her eyes. I pepper kisses along her chin and jaw making my way up to her licking it before gently nibbling.

******Lemon Alert if you don't like it don't read******

She grabs my hand leading back to the blankets and pillows in front of the fire. My hand still in hers she lowers herself to the ground. Bella releases my hand and I hover over her drinking in her beauty. The soft glow of the fire illuminating her angelic features. I study her face looking for any small indication that this isn't what she really wants. I see nothing but love and excitement.

Lowering myself my lips trail along her bare shoulders licking, kissing, nibbling. My hands ghosting up her smooth creamy legs. My mouth making it's way down to the edge of her dress I look up once more giving her the freedom of choosing how far this goes. She smiles softly while rolling to her side giving me access to the zipper in the back.

I unzip the dress pulling it down slowly before tossing it to the side. Once more staring at the beauty that is my mate. The red silk bra with tiny lace detailing is pushing her already ample bosom up. I lower myself to start where I left of trailing kisses. Going down her to her bra I quickly unsnap the front letting her breasts bounce out before taking a rosy pink bud into my mouth suckling like a hungry baby. I hear Bella's heart hammering and her breath coming out in short pants between her moans of pleasure.

Switching sides I run my hands once again up her legs hooking my fingers at the waistband of her panties I slide them down. The already strong smell her arousal increases tenfold forcing a growl out of me. More wetness seeps out of her at the sound of it.

I quickly undress myself before lowering to the ground positioning myself on top of her. Bending down I crash my lips to hers and she opens her mouth allowing me to taste every part of her. I stop the kiss putting my forehead against hers as my hands find her womanhood. Finding it wet I slip one finger in then two pushing in and out. Her moans increasing.

"Are you sure you want this" I whisper to her.

"You can still say no and I'll stop"

She grabs my head looking deep into my eyes.

"I want this. I want you. I want to give you the one thing no one can have. Myself" Bella whispers back.

That is all the encouragement I needed before removing my hands and positioning myself at her entrance. I slowly push forward before I feel her barrier. Swiftly breaking through it feeling her stiffen under me. I halt all movement letting her adjust to the foreign intrusion. Seconds pass before I feel her move her hips signaling me to go on.

I slowly move out then back in. Hissing at the tightness of my mate. Trailing kisses down her neck as I start moving faster. Her hips moving at pace with my thrusts sweet sighs escaping her.

I can feel that she's close her walls quivering around me so I increase the speed once again plunging myself in and out lowering a hand between us to rub her bundle of nerves.

Her walls clamp around me at she screams out her release making me roar out my own.

******End of Lemon******

I slip out of her and draw her sweaty body against my own. Nuzzling into neck I purr feeling content. It's taking everything in me not to do the mating mark on her neck to let all other males know she is mine.

She sighs before rolling over in my arms to face me. Her beautiful sparkling chocolate brown eyes staring into my own gray ones.

"I love you" she whispers out.

"I love you too" I reply before giving her another soft kiss.

This night went far beyond what I had expected. My mate and given me her virtue. A gift I shall forever treasure.

Please review ! :)
