Hidden Desire

Chapter 14

Bella Pov:

I watched my Father's face closely, waiting for his response. His eyes widened slightly and his jaw fell slack. I expected a roar of outrage, of fear, of anything other than what I got. Instead he roared with laughter."You almost had me for a second. Seriously Bella, vampires, really?" he asked me, his eyes wet with merriment.

"Dad, I wasn't joking. The Cullen's are all vampires," I said, moving to stand. He clearly needed some sort of proof of what they were and, well, that shouldn't be too hard to provide.

I turned to face Carlisle, quirking my eyebrow. He clearly understood that we had to prove things to second I was standing, the next I was in his arms and across the room. Charlie finally reacted. He jerked upright, his chair flying backwards which Alice grabbed before it could fall. My Dad could move pretty fast for a human and when Alice moved close to him he shot to the other side of the room.

"Dad, Alice would never hurt you, it's fine," I told him as I walked to his side, Carlisle standing where he was to give my Dad the space he needed. Charlie took advantage of the moment, grabbing me by the arm and turning to drag me from the room. It was clear he was terrified and wanted me out of harms way.

"Dad, no..." I started to say when I found myself out of his hold and firmly planted behind Carlisle.

'Chief Swan, I of course understand your fear in this moment, as well as your need to protect your child, but I need you to understand that Bella is my mate and no one, including you, will put their hands on her or take her anywhere without her consent," Carlisle growled at Charlie, his voice rough with anger.

"Carlisle dear, Charlie would never hurt Isabella. He just needs to have a moment. Why don't you move to the other side of the room and allow Bella to sit down with her Father?" Esme suggested, ever the voice of reason.

I took a seat next to Charlie again at the table. I reached out to touch his shoulder, looking into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Dad, I am in love with Carlisle and I plan to become one of them if Carlisle is still willing to change me. I need to know that you will be okay with all of this. I want to keep you in my life. But you need to know that if you can't handle the situation then I will leave and you will never see me again."I took a deep breath at the hurt that was present in Charlie's eyes. I didn't want to hurt him or push him, instead I wanted him to know where I stood.

A scratching at the front door had me on my feet and moving to answer the door.

"Stay Bella, I will get it," Carlisle said before leaving the room.

"Dad, you need to understand that the Cullen's are nothing like the vampires that you have read about in stories or seen on TV. They are not evil, soulless creatures. They don't go around killing people, instead they drink the blood of animals. They would never hurt you or me," I stated, hoping to win him eyes moved to the approach of Carlisle behind me.

"Bella, it's Jacob at the door. He wants Charlie to come out back... to show him," Carlise said.

"No! It;s too much already, I don't think my Dad needs to see Jacob right now," I answered.

"I want to see him. I think I need to know everything and I have a feeling that Jacob knows something you haven't told me," Charlie said, moving to the back we walked outside it was like a death march, I waited for the last stone to be throw in place. What if my Father couldn't handle me becoming a vampire? What if I was forced to say goodbye to my dad?I could see myself leaving Renee and never talking to her again considering I never spoke to her as it was. But leaving my Dad was something I didn't ever want to happen. I didn't want to lose him but I would for Carlisle. I would lose myself for that man.

As we all stood at the edge of the back yard Charlie looked around for Jacob before saying, "Well, where the hell is he?"

As the words fell from his lips a rustling in the brush started and two glowing eyes came out of the darkness to stare in our direction. I moved up to my Dad, taking his hand and holding it. "Dad, what you are going to see is Jacob... keep that in mind. He is in there, he would never hurt you or me," I told as the the brush parted and Jacob in his wolf body walked forward slowly, his massive form of red brown fur and sinewy muscle a sight to be reckoned with. Charlie took a quick step back and then stopped, his eyebrow lifting. I let go of his hand and moved forward. Walking up to my best friend I leaned in, wrapping my arms as far as I could around his neck and hugging his hot frame.

"Bella?" my Dad's voice rang out, his fear evident.

"Dad come here and meet Jacob Black, Alpha of the Quileute tribe of werewolves," I said, proud to have this man, this beast as my best friend.

Apparently my words pleased him because Jacob landed a nice sloppy lick all over my face."Eww, Jake really? I already had a bath today you mutt! I don't know where your tongue has been... nasty Jake, just gross," I said with a laugh, wiping the drool off my face.

My Dad, seeing the exchange between us, moved forwards. I was so proud as he held his hand out and touched Jake's fur. My Father was brave, and in that moment I knew that everything would work out okay. I felt a sense of relief knowing that Charlie accepted Jacob. Now to make him accept the others."You in there son?" my dad asked Jacob.

"Woof," Jacob answered and then his tongue fell out one side of his mouth as he spun in a circle.

"Does your Father know that you are a werewolf?" Charlie a huff Jacob gave Charlie a look that said 'as if I could hide this'. Then he moved to head butt Charlie in the chest before walking over to Esme and purring low, his head resting on her leg. Watching Esme move her hand into Jacobs fur to pet him was something I think no one expected.

My face lit with a smile as my Dad seemed to tense at the affection Esme showed Jacob before he said. "Ok kid I get it, now back off!"

With that Jacob turned running into the trees.

"Where did he go?" Charlie asked.

"Um, well when he changes back he will be... um... naked, so he needs to go get his clothes," I answered, laughing. "Dad are you going to be okay with all of this?"

"Bella, I will try my best but knowing this now seems to connect a lot of dots in the occurrences of the last few years. I think that it will take some getting used to, but I will do what I have to do." He smiled before moving to take Esme's hand. "I think I need to talk to Esme alone, if you will excuse us," my Dad said as they walked off into the trees.

I moved my eyes over to Carlisle who had just allowed me the greatest gift by bringing my Father into his world and securing a place in our lives. He moved to me in a flash and I grabbed his neck, pulling him into a kiss. I was so happy in this moment that I needed to show it. He wrapped his arms around me, lifting me slightly off the ground, firmly against his body. A few seconds after the kiss started I could clearly feel his want stirring against my hip. I wiggled, I wanted him. I wanted to finally be his in every way. I moaned into his mouth. "Carlisle."He set me down gently and took my hand leading me back inside.

"Lets get this IV out shall we?" he said with a we had that done I watched as he leaned down to lick the small drop of blood from my wrist before placing the band aide over the hole. That tiny flick of his tongue over such a sensitive spot and the intimacy of him tasting my blood caused me to gush wet with need.

"I can smell you Isabella, I can taste your scent on my tongue," he purred softly into my ear.

"I want to stay with you tonight Carlisle," I said my voice soft and low, roughened by my need for him.

"That would be a good idea, because one way or another Bella I will have you tonight," he breathed the word into my ear.

Sprining to my feet, I moved to run upstairs and gather the things I needed to stay over with Carlisle. When I hit my room I pulled open drawer after drawer only to slam them closed again. Alice, I needed Alice.

"Alice! ROSE! Shopping 911!" I later I had been settled into the car after a heated kiss from Carlisle as we left town to go to Port Angeles where the girls would save me from my granny panties and lace less underwear.

A hour later I was exhausted, weighed down by so many bags I wondered how I managed to carry them all. I had been to Victoria's Secret and at this point I knew every secret she had and effectively owned most of them. I also had my nails and hair done which turned out amazing. I felt more sexy in the tight, low cut, blue jeans and high heeled, knee high boots with a tight, low cut, black shirt that was perfect considering it said 'bite me big boy' over one breast in blood red stop was a massage and a Bikini wax which Alice promised I would love her for later. Alice had apparently seen what was coming so her choices where my clothing was concerned left no doubt in my head that Carlisle would love it all. Soon, very soon, I would be thoroughly fucked, sucked and put away rode hard. I was ready and I was prepared. Rose, who had never said much before, had opened up to me in a way I never expected. She was my backbone tonight, having filled me with tip after tip of what men want, how to make sure I was the sex kitten of his dreams.

After feeling perfectly pampered and primped we headed back to Forks, the darkness outside making me smile. I was heading home to the man of my dreams, to have the best night of my life. Yes, I had waited long enough. It was definitely time for me to claim Carlisle Cullen.

So lets hear it! Review away!
