Chapter Two: Son of a Preacher Man

As Carlisle and I run through the woods, three things are certain. One is that I am going to love being a vampire. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the speed, the strength, it's all so exhilarating, I could almost write a song about it. What am I saying? I can't write songs! That just isn't my forte. I guess I'll just have to leave those sorts of things to the people who excel at them. In the meantime, I will shamelessly ogle the sexy vampire doctor who is taking me on an adventure to find some prey.

Oooh! Speaking of prey...I get a whiff of something succulent that reminds me of when my dad used to take me hunting as a kid sometimes. The deer that he would kill and prepare as venison, smelled and tasted exactly like that. And so, I charge!

Carlisle begins to say that it pays to observe one's pray before attempting the attack, rather than trying to sloppily conquer it by leaping from a tree on top of the poor thing and breaking its back, while landing on my face in the dirt...which I am currently in the process of.

OUCH!

It would seem that landing on your face in the dirt, from the top of a tree, hurts whether you are a vampire or a human. Who'da thunk it? But I latch onto the neck of my very dead, very smushed prey and drink its life force anyway. Because that is what I do now. I am a vampire. Hear me roar! Bambi is my juice box. Yay!

Personally, I am fairly certain that I would rather have a slightly different, more chatty type of juice box, such as, oh I dunno, a human, maybe. But I am going to refrain from that. At least until I find out who my mate is and what his preferred diet of choice is. It takes a few moments for golden eyes to turn red if he turns out to be a human drinker. But it takes a long time for red eyes to turn golden if he turns out to be a veggie vamp.

Speaking of veggie vamps, I happen to have one currently staring at me, seductively, having just finished his own Bambi juice box nearby. It sets off all kinds of bells ringing in my head.

Like, wheeeoooooooo wheeeooo Earth to Bella! Come in, Bella. Sexy vampire alert! Sexy vampire alert! Danger, danger! Seduction in progress!

Aaaaaand now he is stalking toward me like I am his prey. Huh, okay, I guess this is really happening. He closes the gap quickly, pulling me into his lap and removing all vestiges of my clothing.

And while it surprises the fuck out of me, I am also a horny newborn vampire, so I'm not exactly about to say no. Instead, I return the favor by ripping his clothing off of him as well, until we are both buck naked, staring into each other's eyes.

I hope to see something in those eyes that I can cling to. Something that screams 'Hey, Bella Swan! This right here? This one, he's ya soul mate!'. Because come on, how cool would it be to have Dr. Carlisle Cullen as a mate? He's well respected, both as a doctor and as a member of the vampire community. He's even a friend of the kings from what I hear. Plus did I mention the sexiness? Because if not...mmmn mmn mmmn mmn mmmn!

Right, less long term life contemplation, more sating immediate horniness here, Bella. Chances like these, come once in a lifetime. So, I climb into his lap and slide swiftly down onto his shaft, lotus style. Oh, holy Hannah! (Okay, how holy is Hannah, I mean really?) I am having sex with Carlisle Freaking Cullen! And it's good sex too. Great sex, actually. Not that I have any sex to compare it to, having been a virgin prior to oh hmm, say, about two minutes ago. But I can tell it's good since I definitely do masturbate a lot. With a dildo. Because who really wants carpal tunnel syndrome? Not me! So if having sex with hot vampires is an option, then hell, I am gonna take it! My poor vibrator will thank me for saving its batteries.

It doesn't take long for Dr. Sex Daddy to get me off and he follows after me in short order, both of us collapsing in a satisfied heap as we gaze up at the overcast Washington sky.

"Carlisle, will I still be a part of this family even if my mate turns out not to be?" I ask hopefully.

"Of course, Bella. This family is a hodgepodge of all sorts. And the moment we welcomed you through the doors of our home, we considered you a part of it. That will not change, no matter who you end up mated to. I promise," he assures me, kissing the top of my forehead.

"I'm sorry it couldn't be you. You would've been perfect." I sigh, somewhat disappointed with myself for not feeling a deeper intimate connection to him like I sort of hoped to.

"Don't be sorry. I know I have a mate out there somewhere. And one day, I will find her. The same goes for you, young lady. I'm sure whoever your mate is, he will be as extraordinary as you are, Sweetie." He smiles. "But in the meantime, feel free to let me know if you ever need to work off any sexual frustration again. Because that was amazing."

"Agreed. Totally agreed." I laugh.

When we arrive back at the house afterward, I am approached by all of the female vampires. "So, how was it? Esme asks leading the charge. "Out of ten?"

"I wouldn't know." I laugh. "It was my first time."

"Bella, Sweetheart, you should have told me that! I could have approached things differently," Carlisle worries, still holding my hand in his.

"Differently how?" I question. "It was perfect, Carlisle. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way."

"You're certain? I hope you aren't just saying that for my benefit, Bella. My pride can afford to take a few hits," he assures me.

I grin. "I bet it can. I'm sure you're used to hearing how amazing you are, Dr. Boy Toy. But trust me when I say I had no complaints."

He sighs in relief. "Oh good, then I am glad you chose to have your first time with me. It was an honor and a privilege."

I smirk. "You aren't receiving a Nobel prize here, Carlisle. Just my V-card." I shrug.

"I don't think you realize, Bella, yours is the only V-card Carlisle has ever swiped. I was married once before as a human, so he didn't get mine, and other than that, he's only been with the succubi sisters. So you see, to him, it is a big deal. He'll probably be following you around like a puppy dog for several weeks at least." Esme laughs.

And then we all hear the sound of a car coming towards the house. There are no other houses on this road, so it's no surprise when it turns down the driveway to come here.

"Uhh, did anyone order take-out?" I joke. "Because I'm not in the mood for a pizza delivery boy right now. Besides, they probably taste hella greasy."

"Is anyone expecting company?" Carlisle asks.

Alice searches her visions and with a look of shock on her face, turns to me and says, "umm, Bella. It's your mother!"

Well shiiit. Just when I thought my introduction to immortality was going well!
