Hello! I bring you one more chapter of this crazy story.
I've been sitting on this chapter for a few days. I hope you like it.
The Butterfly Effect.
Chapter 16: Moving on.
Bella fell asleep with her head on Felix's naked chest. He made sure to tuck her in well so that she wouldn't be cold during her sleep. He didn't particularly enjoy spending extended periods of time without moving, but right now, he didn't want to be anywhere else. He had had sex countless times before, as a vampire and as a human, but he had never been in love like this before. Therefore, being able to spend the night with her like that was heaven on Earth for him. He caressed her naked back under the covers gently, trying not to disturb her sleep. The two times he had been in a room where she was asleep, she had mumbled unintelligible things. But this night she was quiet as a mouse. He wondered why that was.
In the middle of the night, Bella woke up from a very lucid dream. She found Felix still in her bed, staring at the ceiling with one of his arms tucked behind his head. The flex showed his very well developed muscles. She stirred and he looked down at her.
"You stayed" she whispered excitedly at the fact. He had never said it out loud but she had the suspicion he was trying to protect her privacy and personal space. Or maybe he had never thought of watching her sleep. Whatever it was, she was happy he had stayed this time. She would have probably been hurt if she had woken up to find that he had left.
"Of course." He kissed her forehead.
She smiled and feeling brave she moved to straddle him, not yet taking him in on her. But the friction was delicious enough. She saw as a wicked smirk crossed his features and his eyes went from red to black.
"Do you like this?" She teased moving her hips. He moaned and that sound went directly to her core. So hot.
He didn't say anything, instead, he entered her making her yelled surprised. She laughed, the vibration feeling amazing in their joined bodies. He started thrusting upwards holding her hips, teaching her silently how to take him from above.
She started moving up and down on his cock, loving this position. Loving how he grabbed her hipbones and guided her. She grabbed his hands and put them on her breasts. He twisted and pulled on her nipples, making her cry out of pleasure. He moved up, hugging her entirely, there was basically no space between their upper bodies with this new position. He took one of her nipples in his mouth, licking, playing and biting gently with his lips. Bella was lost in the pleasure of his mouth. He changed nipples, administering the same treatment as he had the other.
He abandoned her nipples and moved upwards to her neck. Bella leaned her head backward, giving him more access to her neck. She loved it when he kissed her there. Regardless of the context.
Feeling his release close, he reached between the two of them and stroke her clit in circles. She moaned louder and started moving faster. He also quickened the pace, groaning in her mouth. So close. She tightened around him and quickly yelled out his name in the best pleasure induced state. He thrust a few more times before he came, groaning her name. This time, he didn't need to destroy any pillows, he was able to control better his movements. Although he was sure that her breasts and neck were going to be showing a few bruises later. But as she never complained or said he was hurting her, he didn't let that bother him.
"Best midnight wake up." She giggled still with him inside her, but she was sprawled on his chest.
He laughed with her, and Bella moaned hiding her head on his neck. God, the vibrations felt amazing. She was tired and a little sore, but it was so worth it. Felix's eyes were still black, and she found that extremely arousing. She kissed him hungrily and felt him getting harder again, inside her. God, she wished to be transformed already and spent days in bed with him. If sex was this amazing while she was human, she could only imagine how it was going to be once she was a vampire.

Bella woke up at mid-morning the next day, feeling the best kind of sore ever. She had jumped Felix one more time after those two times in a row. Her legs were hurting and her lady parts were very sore. She was sure she wouldn't be able to have sex with him at least for two days. And the last time she jumped him, he was incredible.
She was underneath him, with him inside of her. He held her stare and held her hands above her head. He thrust inside her, carefully the first time, but she didn't want gentle and love, she wanted fast and unrestrained. So he took her faster than before, still being very careful not to physically hurt her by thrusting too hard, too fast. She was too stimulated to last long. But she cried two orgasms before he found his release. After that, she fell asleep and didn't wake up again until the next morning.
Felix was not with her anymore, but she didn't take it personally, she knew he had duties to attend to early in the mornings. She allowed herself to lie in bed for a few more minutes daydreaming about the best night of her life. She was glad Edward had been very conservative about it. Even though she was sure she would have never regretted having sex with him, just as she didn't regret any experience they had together. He taught her what love was.
She shook her head and hopped in the shower. She had people to greet, and wedding decisions to convey.

Bella knocked on Demetri's and Heidi's door. The nervousness clear in her eyes and body language. She and Felix had talked about the people they wanted at their wedding. And which role they were going to hold. Bella had decided on who she wanted to walk her down the aisle, and who wanted to help her plan it and her maid of honor. The only thing she had left was actually set a date with the groom. But they have both decided to wait until after her transformation to decide. Bella didn't want to be a crazed newborn at her wedding, hence the lack of a date.
Demetri smiled at Bella, pausing the movie that was 0aying on the flatscreen.
"Am I interrupting something?" Maybe she was. Maybe she should come back later. With Felix for moral support. Why did she want to do this alone?
She saw Heidi shook her head. She sat straight, abandoning her former position of being spread on the sofa leaned on Demetri's chest. "Sit down, Bella. You look like you're going to pass out at any moment." She sat but didn't abandon the nervous movements of her hands, playing with her ring.
They waited patiently for her to speak. They knew she hadn't come just to hang out. She took a deep breath and decided to get it done. They were her family, they wouldn't judge her. "I wanted to speak to you about the wedding." Heidi smiled excited and Demetri imitated her. "You know I love you both like my own life. When I decided to come here, I've never imagined what I would find. I was alone, scared, and I had left all my loved ones behind. But I found so much more here. You gave me a blood family. And you have supported my crazy ideas like training with Alec, or ventured by myself into a city. You trusted me not to run away. You have treated me like a person and not a frail human that's going to break."
"Bella, you're going to make me cry. What are you trying to say?" Heidi asked gently, taking her hands in her. Her eyes only showed love, friendship.
"Dem, you know that before coming here I had another vampire family who I also love deeply. I hope you don't take it the wrong way if I ask Carlisle to give me away. In another circumstance, there would have been no other than you." She couldn't meet his gaze, afraid of having disappointed him. He was more than her many generations removed uncle, he was her big brother, that one that she had always dreamed of having. Every time she had pictured having a sibling, she always pictured a big brother, one who would protect her and love her and yes, tease her as well. And she had found that in Demetri. She felt as if she might be betraying him by asking Carlisle to give her away.
Demetri exchanged a look with Heidi who shrugged. Bella should be glowing with happiness planning her wedding. So he crouched in front of her, tilting her head softly with his hands, so they were at an even level. Her eyes were so sad, she was holding back her tears. He gently caressed her cheek, cleaning the tears that had escaped.
"I understand more than anyone could ever have the position you are in right now. I never expected you to ask me to give you away. I love you and Felix, you both are my family. And I care more about your happiness than to what position I will have one day. I am here for you every day before and after your wedding. I don't care if I give you away, or if I officiate or If I am just one more guest. I will be there, sharing your happiness, see my brother marry an amazing woman. See you marry the best man I could have ever wished for you to meet." Bella was sort of hypnotized by that red, caring, deep stare. Her heart was no longer heavy with worry. It was full of love. This wonderful man, and his wonderful, big heart. "So, of course, I am not offended in the least by who you choose to give you away."
Heidi was smiling so widely, her smile was covering almost all of her face. Ear to ear-smile. Demetri was loud, and he made lame jokes and loved to tease people, but he had the biggest heart ever. She fell in love even more at that moment.
Bella jumped out of the sofa and hugged Demetri tightly. Had he been human, the impact would have sent them both to the floor. He held her tightly and whispered one last I love you in her ear. However, it was getting a little too sweet, and it was making him self-conscious. So he tickled her making her let go of him. He sat back next to his wife who kissed him fiercely on the lips, not caring that Bella was there. She quickly released her husband and turn around to see Bella.
"You have in us whatever you need. I repeat what he said. We are here for you, before, during and after your wedding. We'll be here to guide you through your newborn year, to train you and make you officially one of the guards." Bella giggled at the last. She had expressed many times how badly she desired to have any kind of gift, even if it was a lame one, just to be useful to the guard. Either that or be at a strategic position in the 'Kings' guard. They didn't need constant protection, only when leaving the castle or when someone showed up. Otherwise, that guard was either part of the travel guide or do something else that she had yet to know.
"Would you be my maid of honor?"
"Yes! Of course!" They both hugged tightly. "It would be my honor."

Later that day, she called Alice, hoping to catch her home and not hunting. Since she couldn't see her future, she couldn't know when Bella decided something. But her prayers were heard and Alice answered quickly.
"Hi, Bella!"
"Hello, Alice" Bella smiled at her friend's enthusiasm. "Are you alone?"
"No. The whole family is at home." Bella tried to keep her smile on. Edward was also home. Well, he already knew that she was getting married.
"Well, hello everyone." She greeted sure that the rest would hear her. But to her utter surprise and delight, they all joined into the video call, with the exception of Edward.
"Hey, little sis!" Bella waved at Emmett. "What do you have there?" Bella hadn't realized she had waved with her left hand.
"Felix proposed a few days ago. I said yes."
They all congratulated her and conveyed their love and happiness for her.
"I was calling to let you know and to obviously invite you to the wedding. You're my family and I want you there with me."
Esme's smile was extremely wide making her giggle.
"I'm getting married after my transformation. We haven't decided on a date yet. We decided to wait and see how uncontrolled I was going to be." Emmett laughed and Jasper shook his head with a small smile. "And on that note. Carlisle, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Sure. Anything you need." He agreed thinking, perhaps, that she was going to ask him to officiate the wedding or something of the sort.
"We'll be faking my death before my transformation, in order to give my parents some closure. So, obviously, my dad won't be able to be there. Would you give me away?"
Carlisle was stunned. Esme smiled proud of her daughter. She hadn't given birth to her, but she loved her just the same. She was lucky to have three beautiful daughters, with three strong different personalities.
"It will be my pleasure and honor, Bella. Thank you." Alice clapped excited making Bella laugh.
"Alice. Will you design my dress?" She had wanted Alice to be in charge of basically all her wedding with Edward, including the dress. This time, she felt different. She wanted to be a part of the plans, but she was sure that Alice was the only person capable of designing the perfect dress for her.
Jasper had to put both hands on his wife's shoulder to minimize the bouncing. He even had to use his gift to calm her down. "Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into, Bella?" Jasper joked. She laughed.
"I know Alice will keep it simple yet elegant. I trust Esme and Rose to keep her in check." Rosalie looked surprised to be included in the wedding plans. Emmett smiled wider. A different smile than before. He was glad that Rose was included. But of course, it was Bella they were talking about. She wouldn't involve some members of the family and leave out some others. "I will be in contact with you girls for more wedding details. I have to go, now."
They all said their goodbyes and ended the call on a high note. Bella felt optimistic about everything. If only she had such certainty regarding her newborn phase.
So, what do you think about Bella's decisions regarding her wedding? I thought it was a nice way to honor both, the Cullens and those she considers her family in Volterra.
Thanks for your reviews!
Kisses!
