This was a highly chaotic chapter to write and create. I genuinely cannot even begin to tell you why this was in the outline. If anyone needs me, I'll be wondering why I ever decided to become a fanfiction writer. With that said, this chapter is on the more mature side of things. I tried not to be so explicit (that's not my forte anyway.) But kudos to anyone who reads this and recognizes the previous scenes. Kay. Bye!
Also, do point out any mistakes. It's been so long since they've all been in the same place together.
After being chased through the Northwest for the last four days, Bella entered the hotel room she shared with Rosalie and crawled on the bed gingerly, her muscles aching from the "punishment" her children enacted on her. She didn't even ask when Alice pointed her in the direction of the luxury hotel in Seattle, nor did she wonder how she had a suitcase full of clothes in the corner of the room. Rosalie glanced at her over the top of her magazine as Bella flopped face down and groaned. She expertly managed to remove her shirt and pants without using the normal amount of effort. Rosalie sighed and put down her magazine. She straddled Bella's back and gently pressed her fingers into Bella's shoulders. Bella moaned in relief and gave a thumbs-up. Rosalie snorted and shook her head. She moved her fingers to Bella's neck and paused.
"No scars," she said softly.
"Hmm?"
Rosalie slid off Bella's body and tugged her off the bed. Bella protested until Rosalie physically hefted her off the mattress and to the floor. Bella lost her balance and ended up pinning Rosalie to the dresser to keep from falling over. The impact knocked the lamp to the floor. Rosalie glared at her, and Bella smiled sheepishly.
"I was comfy," she said.
"And I was trying to show you that you," Rosalie spun Bella around and marched her to the bathroom mirror, "have no scars."
Bella twisted her body in different angles.
"Aw, man! He took my scars!"
"You're upset?"
"I was told by many women they were hot on me."
Rosalie took her fingernail and made a mark on Bella's arm. Bella hissed and moved out of reach. Rosalie smiled sarcastically.
"There. Now you have one scar you can go and tell your new girlfriend about."
"I'm starting to think you missed me."
"Not in the least."
Bella grabbed her wrist. She pulled Rosalie into her arms and swayed them side to side. It felt like she hadn't seen her in years. Rosalie shook her head and draped her arms on Bella's shoulders. Bella kissed Rosalie's forehead, then her nose, and finally her lips. She smiled and bent down, pressing her lips against her ear.
"Well, look at me. I've found forever in a sweet, stubborn, literal Ice Queen who tastes like winter and smells like fresh snow. Her very essence soothes the fire in my soul. With her, there is no hurry. Each moment is precious. Each kiss we share is etched into my memory. Her body molds to mine as if she were created just for me. The feel of her skin against mine intoxicates me." Bella chuckled to herself and slipped her hands under Rosalie's shirt. "Oh, how I ache to touch her, to taste her, to bring her to climax and watch her come undone. To wake up beside her for the rest of my life. To make her mine. To have a family with her. To live out our days in harmony, in peace."
"There you go again, changing the words," Rosalie whispered.
Bella kissed the side of Rosalie's neck and said, "The words will always change, but my feelings will not. I love you with every fiber of my being, Rosalie Hale."
"Marry me."
Bella leaned back and said, "What?"
"Marry me."
"Now?"
"Alice can officiate. I already have the ring, your children are here, and so is our family. Marry me."
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Yes, a million times."
Rosalie smiled widely and stepped back with her arm out to the side. She counted down, "Three…Two…One."
Alice bounded into the room and grabbed Rosalie's arm. Alice looked at Bella and said, "Emmett, Seth, and Charlie will be in here soon. I'd put on some pants. Alec went to get Angela with Jane, but he'll be back tonight. I've already called our cousins in Alaska. They need to be here, trust me. And I hope you like the color mauve."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Rosalie, did you plan this?"
"Since the moment you crashed to Earth," she said.
"Oh. Okay. Wait, what the hell is mauve?" Bella asked.
"No time to explain! I have to get everything ready, and you two can't see one another until tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow- what all do you have to do!"
"Bye, Bella!"
Alice and Rosalie vanished out of the hotel room. Bella stood there in her boxers and a sports bra, shocked, and she barely reacted when Emmett, Charlie, and Seth entered the room. Charlie passed Bella a robe, and she sighed.
"What did she tell you three to do with me tonight?"
"Bachelor party!" Emmett shouted.
The door opened again, and Rosalie stuck her head in the room. She glared at Emmett.
"No," she gritted out.
"Aw, man."
Rosalie left. Bella smirked and winked at Emmett. He grinned widely, and Charlie groaned. Seth bounced up and down in excitement. Bella knew her mental shield would still work against Alice as she planned their night.
Alec dropped Jane and Angela off at the hotel before he drove to the "secret" address Seth sent him. Alec looked at the building in disbelief as he exited the car.
"A vampire strip club?" he scoffed.
Charlie and Emmett glanced around the club in shock. Bella smiled at the looks on their faces. The place was crawling with vampires, humans, and fantasy creatures alike. Bella belatedly realized she had no mark on her neck by Rosalie to signal she was taken, and she made a note to keep an eye on that. And on her boys. Seth and Alec had yet to mark one another, but Charlie and Emmett were covered. Not that Bella expected anything less from Esme and Alice.
"How did I not know this place existed?" Emmett asked.
"Because you don't know the right people. I, however, know the right people."
"That you do, little one. That you do."
Bella spun around and threw out her arms.
"Hailey!" she greeted.
"Greetings, little one."
The two embraced, and Bella pulled back and gestured at the group.
"Hailey, this is my kin, Charlie. My future brother-in-law, Emmett. My future son-in-law, Seth, and my child, Alec," she introduced. "Everyone, this is Hailey, an Amazonian warrior."
"Wait, is this- is this her?" Emmett whisper-shouted.
"I take it you have been telling stories about me again?" Hailey asked.
"Well, you're the one who told me, Wonder Woman," Bella teased.
Emmett and Seth squealed in unison. Charlie pinched the bridge of his nose while Alec smiled wryly. Bella rubbed her neck self-consciously. Hailey grabbed her and tugged her to the side. She waved her hand over them, and a bubble fell around them.
"You have a mate but no bite, and you come in here?" Hailey hissed. "Are you insane?"
"It slipped my mind," Bella said defensively. "It's been a long few months."
"You know I cannot protect you in here," she warned. "Free game if you are unmarked, Elisheba."
"Bella," she corrected. "And I know, okay? I forgot!"
"Your mate better be of the understanding type," Hailey said.
Bella winced and said, "Sort of."
Alice sighed when Bella's shield dropped just enough to let her know the group ignored Rosalie and went out anyway. She clicked her teeth and turned in the opposite direction, forcing Esme to do the same in the car behind her. Leah glanced at her from the passenger seat.
"They went out, didn't they?" she asked.
"Yep."
Both of them heard the annoyed growl that came from the car behind them. Alice sincerely hoped Bella didn't do something as stupid as she did in her vision.
"Sweet Caroline!" Emmett sang.
Bella covered her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
"Good times never seem so good!" Seth added in an off-key voice.
"Wow. They are both really bad at this," Charlie muttered under his breath.
Bella blindly reached out for another shot and drained it in one go. Charlie frowned. He looked at the empty glass, then the full glass next to it, and he just so happened to catch the proud grin on the face of a woman two tables away. Charlie glanced at Bella, and her eyes glazed over.
"Aw, shit," he sighed.
Bella stood up. Charlie grabbed her and pulled her back down, but she broke free and hopped on the stage with Seth and Emmett. Alec, who had been watching Emmett and Seth more than Bella, frowned.
"What is she doing?"
Charlie had no words as Bella stole the mic from Emmett and Seth.
"Rose is going to kill us," Alec murmured.
"Not before she kills her."
Alice tried so hard not to laugh. Actually, everyone but Rosalie was struggling to stay calm. Leah had her phone out recording while Jane covered her face. Esme shook her head, and Angela was torn between amusement and mortification. Rosalie was just… stuck. She watched as Bella stripped off her shirt and jumped on the nearest table.
"Which one of you is the mate?"
Rosalie turned and stared as a really tall woman approached them. Everyone pointed at Rosalie, who lifted her hand in annoyance.
"That would be me. For now, at least," Rosalie grumbled.
"Bella is normally on top of things like this, but she hasn't been here in a while. I could tell she was nervous. That makes her more noticeable in a place like this. She almost made it out of here, but one of her drinks was drugged with a special plant that makes individuals like her a little more susceptible to…sexual advances."
"Who are you?" Jane asked.
"Oh, right. I'm Hailey. Or, as you probably know me, Wonder Woman."
"She was serious?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes. And if you want your mate to make it out of here without another woman's teeth in her neck, you should probably intervene before she- never mind."
Rosalie turned her head and growled. Bella was crawling across the stage toward a redhead. Alice whistled sharply, and everyone turned to look at her. Even Bella paused. When Bella spotted Rosalie, her eyes lit up, and she scrambled off the stage. Emmett, Charlie, Alec, and Seth were all approached by their respective siblings/mates. Angela went with Jane and Leah to get away from whatever nonsense was about to happen with Bella and Rosalie.
Bella jumped into Rosalie's arms and tilted her neck to the side. Rosalie felt her mouth water with venom before she swallowed and shook her head.
"Bite me," Bella begged.
"No!"
"But I need you," Bella whined.
Rosalie hated how that simple statement made her hesitate. She was so tempted, so tempted until Hailey put her fingers on the side of Bella's neck and Bella went limp in Rosalie's arms.
"What did you do?" Rosalie exclaimed.
"You two already mated," Hailey chuckled. "If you hadn't, you would've bitten her immediately the moment she bared her neck to you."
Hailey kept her fingers on Bella's neck until she gasped and came to again. Rosalie watched as her old fang marks appeared on Bella's skin. Bella groaned and looked around in confusion, then she recognized who was holding her. Bella swallowed nervously.
"I can explain."
Hailey snickered and patted Bella on the shoulder before she said, "Happy marriage, little one."
Alice was upset but ultimately realized keeping Rosalie and Bella apart was a bad idea anyway. She dragged Emmett to their hotel room. Esme didn't need to drag Charlie as he followed behind her like a puppy in trouble. Seth and Alec were forbidden from seeing one another. Leah tugged Seth down the hall to her hotel room while Angela and Jane went to theirs. Alec was left alone for the night and sighed. Rosalie, on the other hand…
"Ow, ow, ow!"
Rosalie threw Bella on the mattress and put her hands on her hips.
"You…are the most…infuriating being I have ever met," she sighed.
"It was an accident," Bella whined. "I just wanted to have some fun with them."
"The issue isn't the place or the event. It's that you walked into a den of unmated vampires like fresh meat."
"I didn't know the mark was gone until I got there!"
"And yet you stayed," she said.
"Well… Emmett and Seth were super excited to talk to Hailey. Charlie missed being around people since he's still in his newborn phase, and Alec wanted to make Seth happy. That song was the last one, but I don't know what happened after that."
Rosalie pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Someone drugged you."
"Oh."
Rosalie stripped off her shirt and went over to her suitcase. Bella propped herself on her elbows and watched Rosalie change into her pajamas.
"I'm sorry."
"For?"
"I know how important tomorrow is for both of us."
Rosalie snorted and said, "Isabella, I am not mad at you."
"You seem like it."
"I was exasperated, but now, I'm distracted. Hailey sort of reminded me about something."
"What?"
Rosalie blurred back to the bed and straddled Bella's stomach. She bent down and whispered, "The first time you marked me."
Bella turned red and cleared her throat. "That was a long time ago," she said.
"And you were a demon back then," Rosalie teased.
"I…yes."
"Are you saying you don't still want to break me?'
"You remember that too?"
"I also remember that time in the bathroom at the old house. Those memories kept me nice and warm while you were gone."
"Is there a rule about having sex before a wedding?"
"Do you care?"
"No." Bella flipped them over so that she was on top. "I will always want to have sex with you."
"That wasn't as romantic as you thought it was."
Bella shrugged and removed Rosalie's pajama shirt.
"I don't know why you put this on," she said.
"Felt too presuming to come to bed naked."
"Rule number one in our marriage. Always come to bed naked," Bella said.
"Rule number two, no more strip clubs. If you want a lap dance, ask me."
"That might be the hottest thing you've ever said to me."
"I doubt it. Do you want to know the hottest thing you ever said to me?"
"Not sure. There are so many moments to choose from."
Rosalie wrapped her legs around Bella and flipped them. Bella huffed in annoyance when Rosalie bent down and looked her in the eyes.
"There we go, baby. I want the whole fucking house to hear you, hear who you belong to."
Bella grabbed Rosalie's hips and said, "Oh, now that's not fair."
"Tell me who you belong to, Isabella," Rosalie whispered.
"God. It sounds so much hotter coming from you."
Rosalie nuzzled Bella's neck and ran her tongue over her old mark. She said softly, "I forgot how fascinating it is to watch you breathe, to hear your heartbeat, and to feel the warmth of your skin against mine. To know that I did that, to know that you react this way only for me? It is addicting. But do you know what fascinates me the most?"
Bella wasn't sure when Rosalie removed her shorts and underwear, but she felt Rosalie grab her hand and put it between her legs. Bella slipped one finger inside of her. Rosalie let out a mix between a sigh and a growl.
"Honestly. Why are you so infuriating?" Rosalie huffed.
"I'm just trying to figure out why you're already so wet."
"Because the thought of dragging you back here and marking you all over again nearly made me cum in the car."
"Well, in that case…."
Bella added another finger and used her free hand to bring Rosalie's head down. The kiss started off tentative, like they were figuring each other out again for the first time. Then it became the familiar dance they remembered. Bella conceded to Rosalie, letting her set the pace, but didn't move her other hand. Rosalie bit through Bella's lip in frustration, and Bella smiled, despite the pain. Rosalie pulled back and glared at her.
"Move," she said.
"I'm bleeding, Rose. Aren't you going to help me with that?"
Rosalie tried not to, but she got distracted by the red trail flowing down Bella's lip, her chin, and her neck. Groaning, Rosalie licked at the blood, moaning at the taste, and Bella shivered at the cold left behind.
"I forgot you could do that," she whispered.
Rosalie blew snow into Bella's face and growled, "I will freeze you solid and fuck myself with your frozen hand. Now move!"
"Hot." Bella started to pump her fingers in and out of Rosalie. "Have you forgotten what else I said?" she asked.
Rosalie dug her nails deep into Bella's side in silent warning. Bella slowed long enough to add another finger, and then she gave Rosalie what she wanted. Still, Rosalie refused to give Bella what she wanted. Bella frowned and turned them over. She hovered over Rosalie, and the new angle combined with Bella's speed finally broke the silent game. Rosalie cried out and arched upward. Bella was very glad she still had her endurance because the number of things she wanted to do before getting married was a long one. But for now…
Bella spread her fingers and curled them. Rosalie bit down on her lip as her orgasm hit.
"You selfish motherfucker," Bella murmured.
Rosalie half-laughed and half-moaned in response. Bella shook her head and glanced at the clock. It was only midnight. Bella glared at Rosalie as she sat up, and Rosalie nudged Bella's head to the side. Bella followed on instinct, baring her neck to her mate, and tried to calm her heartbeat.
Rosalie whispered, "You want me to scream? Then fuck me like you own me."
Then, she sunk her teeth into Bella's neck.
