Chapter 50

"You mean they just came out of nowhere for no fucking reason?!" Emmett raised his voice once I finished telling them what happened.

"Emmett watch your fucking language." Was Esme's clever response but it lightened the mood too. Bella was currently wrapped up in a parent sandwich. The three of them sat on the sofa, both Carlisle and Esme had their arms wrapped around Bella.

Bella had stayed quiet through it all and I wondered what she was thinking about because her mind was completely closed to me.

"I'm not saying that what they did was right and they have no right to take you off guard like that. But we haven't given them a reason to worry about anything." Carlisle was trying to figure out why they waited till Bella and I would be alone. He knew that they knew our family wasn't a threat to anyone, he couldn't understand their behaviour.

"I should rip their eyes out for the way they looked at Bella." I snarled and her gaze landed on me.

"Why? What happened?" Jasper asked, no longer sounding calm but more like a protective older brother.

"They took in her looks, her body and pictured her in state of undress." I snarled the last part and all of the men in the house snarled along with me. Carlisle's matched mine and his Daddy role kicked in full force. He was off the sofa and pacing in front of us. My brothers wanted to hunt them down whilst the girls continued looking at a silent Bella.

I wanted to go to her but I don't think she would notice I was there, she looked so deep in thought that I was beginning to feel concerned. My body had other thoughts because before I willed it to do anything, I was kneeling in front of her with my hands resting on her bent legs. Her gaze turned to me but it was like she was looking straight through me, like she wasn't seeing me but knew I was there.

"Isabella." I whispered and her whole body shook.

Everyone had stopped doing what they were doing and were watching us.

"Edward." She whispered back and it was barely audible even to our ears.

She then stood up and held her hand out to me, I took it without thinking twice and followed her out the back door.

We were running at my speed and I wanted to ask her were we were going but then we took a sharp left and I knew exactly where she was taking us.

It felt like forever since we've been to the meadow but I still wondered why she was taking us there.

When we broke through and into the clearing, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The trees shook in a circle around us and I wondered whether that was her doing. I knew that there was still some anger lingering inside her and if she needed to destroy something, it would explain why she wanted to be out of the house to do that.

"They can't touch you sweetheart, they have no reason to and if they tried, every single one of them would die. Not one of us is going to let them come anywhere near you. You have to understand that baby." I wasn't sure if what I was saying was falling on deaf ears because it didn't look like she was listening to what I was saying.

She walked a couple of steps in front of me and then stood stock still. He shoulders squared and I saw her hands clench into fists. The loudest growl escaped my girl and everything around us shook. Nestled birds flew over our heads and out of the meadow, small animals scattered away from their homes at the sound and if it would have been an octave higher, I was sure it would have hurt my sensitive ears.

"Isabella STOP!" I was in front of her and held her shoulders tightly. Her eyes were pitch black and I was frightened for her. I have never seen her like this and I wanted to know the cause of it.

"Talk to me angel." Her chest rose with every breath she took but even with my soothing voice, her eyes stayed pitch black. I didn't know what else to do so I held her. As soon as my arms were around her, it felt like the whole atmosphere around us shifted, like we were trapped in a dome and we felt everything that was going on inside it. I needed her to talk to me, since she was little she's been keeping things inside until it got too much for her. She knew I was always here for her.

"Please baby, talk to me. I'll only listen angel I promise, just let it out Isabella." I sank us down to the ground when she went limp in my arms. I sat her across my lap and kept my arms around her.

We stayed quite for some time, he breathing calmed but very little. Her heartbeat was strong and fast but I couldn't see the colour of her eyes because her face was buried in the crook of my neck.

"I've seen him before you know, Charlie. I used to see him in my dreams when I was little I think, I just never knew who he was. You know how sometimes you dream about people you've never met, I just thought it was just that. But I have met him, thanks to that dog I now know who that man is. I look nothing like him. I want to say I feel a connection with him but I'm not sure that I do. I don't know him or anything about him. I feel like there's a puzzle missing but I'll never find the piece. I saw him being torn apart, limb from limb and it makes me feel numb. I feel anger though, I feel like I want to do the exact same thing to every single mutt that was there when they killed him. But that isn't going to change anything."

Just like I promised her, I didn't say anything and just listened. My mind was open to her, I knew she was listening because I felt the tug I usually do when she wants to hear my thoughts.

I held her tighter and drew random patterns on her back, it used to calm her when she was younger and I was praying it will have the same effect now.

"Seeing the way they saw me made me feel sick to my stomach. The only person I want to see me naked is you Edward. My body is yours and no one else's." The turn in emotions would have given me a whiplash but I just braced for whatever would come next.

She turned on my lap and straddled me. Her hands went straight into my hair as her lips crashed to mine. The pull towards her was powerful, especially because of the dome feeling I was getting around us.

'I'm shielding us from everything, if something was to stumble across here, they wouldn't see us.' Her thoughts whispered to me. They were so calm, a complete contrast to what she was feeling and the emotions she was putting through the kiss.

Her hands began to wonder and mine did the same.

Bella trailed her hands down my chest and under my t-shirt, I felt my muscles tense at her gentle touch. She has explored my abdomen countless of times but this time felt different. This didn't feel like her exploring, it felt like her claiming what is hers and the feeling of more.

I felt like there was a shift in our connection, like the final locks were being locked in place and our connection increasing.

'Edwarddd.' She purred and I reacted instantly. My hands grabbed her ass and I brought Bella closer to me, if that was even possible.

Bella's hands stopped touching me and I saw them move to her own jumper. She crossed her arms and grabbed the edges of her jumper and slowly lifted it off her. I was too stunned to stop her and my eyes were fixated on her chest moving with every breath she took. Once her jumper landed somewhere near us, she reached behind her and unclasped her bra which joined the jumper.

I felt like I stopped breathing all together.

She is an absolute vision.

Bella took my right hand and then kissed my palm, the sensation when straight to my groin and I groaned in pleasure, she then moved my hand to her breast.

I was stunned.

I wasn't even sure if we should do this, especially after her outburst.

She couldn't possibly be thinking straight.

"Don't you want me?" she tilted her head to the side and looked straight at me.

The teenage idiot in me ground her against me to prove just how much I wanted her.

"You tell me." I knew she was still reading my thoughts.

"Then touch me Edward, claim what's yours."

That seemed to have snapped me out of the trance she put me in.

"Our first time isn't going to be in a meadow somewhere even if nothing and no one can see us. You mean so much more than that. You deserve more than that, on top of that, we're not ready." I wasn't sure how I managed to talk whilst my hand was still on her breast. I was kneading it gently and watched the way her eyes closed in pleasure.

She was absolute perfection.

"Then love me Edward." Bella whispered.

My t-shirt disappeared from my body and her chest crashed to mine as I held her as tight as I could.

"I already do sweetheart, I always have."
