I hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry its taken me longer to get this chapter up.
There are a few twist and turns from now on.
Esme POV
I needed all the courage I could get to do this. I looked down at him, he was a very handsome man, from his lovely silky blond hair to his chiselled jaw. He was perfection. I started to kiss him gently at first, then getting a bit for frenzied. I bit his lower lip and he gasped. It was all I needed for me to slip my tongue into his mouth. I could taste a mixture of garlic and wine on him. His hands ran up my back to my shoulders then back down to my backside. My hands where in his hair scratching his scalp, the pulling the end of his hair, making him moan. I could feel his manhood pressing against me. My womanhood was tingling and I could feel the wetness on my panties.
I moved down to his neck still peppering kisses as I went. His moaning become louder encouraging me. Once I got to his chest I made my way to his nipple, I wasn't sure what to do so I just let my instincts take over. I kissed and sucked it into my mouth, making it pebble. I gently bit down on it next, that make Carlisle gasp and his hands squeezed my backside. I switched to the other side and did the same thing, Carlisle was becoming very vocal.
"Oh yes Es, feels good." Es that's new, I like it. So I carried on making my way down his chest towards his shorts. I started to undo his shorts but he stopped me.
"Esme you don't have to do this." The senserty in his voice.
"I know I don't have to but I would like to show you what you have given me. Pleasure." I carried on unbuttoned his shorts. I reached, placed my hand over his arousel. He was getting hand with just my touch. He was bucking under my hand.
"Why don't we go to the bedroom it will be more comfortable", Carlisle grabbed my hand kissing my palm. I nodded. I got off him, practily dragged him to the bedroom. He was chucking all the way.
"Who's eager now?"
I just turned to him and gave him a shy smile. I pulled him into the bedroom and pushed him onto the bed. He had lost his shorts somewhere along the way. His manhood was bulging now. I ran my fingers over him and he grownd. It made me feel good that I could give him pleasure. I grabbed his boxers and slowly lowered them. I watched as his manhood sprang free hitting his stomach. It was huge, thick and I could see the veins pulsing and the head was just peaking out from this cover. It also had liquid at the tip. I looked up at Carlisle.
"I don't know what I'm doing here so you will have to tell me stop stop if I hurt you ok." I was looking him dead in the eye.
"I trust you sweetheart and I will." He moved himself up the bed then he reached for my hand pulling up as well. I kneeled between his legs unsure what to do. God I'm useless. A single tear ran down my face. Carlisle shot up, rapped his arms round me and kissed me.
"Hey, what's wrong." He looked at me with so much love. I wrapped my arms round him and buried my head in his neck.
"I'm a terrible wife, I'm a prude, I can't please my husband, I'm no good for you." I was full on crying now. Carlisle just rocked me whispering that he loves me, that I'm not a prude, that I'm beautiful over and over again. Once I had calmed down a bit, he put his fingers under my chin and lifted my face to his level.
"Now first things first. You my love are not a terrible wife," he held a finger up to stop me saying anything. "We have only been married 3 days and in those 3 days you have been wonderful. You are not a prude you just need to experience things a bit more, that is were we will help each other. And finally and this is a big one. You can please your husband. Trust me on that. I should know. Yes we still have a lot to learn about each other but that comes with time sweetheart. It doesn't just happen over night. Now would you like to join me and have a relaxing bath to help us both."
I just nodded. I looked down at my husband manhood it was deflated. Again I had failed.
"Don't worry about that it rises and falls at the drop of a hat. Come."
He led me to the bathroom sat me down on the toilet lid and started to run the bath. Carlisle turned down the lights, then walked over to me. He pulled me up, reached down and lifted my dress up over my head leaving me in just my panties. Next was to go was said panties. He then led me to the bath and help me get in. The hot water was wonderful. He turned off the taps, then climbed in behind me.
"How does that feel my love." He had his hands round my waist and my head was resting on his shoulder.
"It feels wonderful." Carlisle just holds me as we lay there. His hands started wander one up and one down. One hand found my breast and started to kneed, the other down to my women hood and my little button. I started to buck it felt so good.
"Oh yes, god yes", I was seeing stars, I could feel it building in my stomach running down to my toes. Carlisle twisted my nipple and sucked my neck, that was all it took for me to fall over the edge. I was panting, there was water all over the floor. When I managed to clear my head I turned to look at Carlisle. He had the biggest smile I had ever seen. Now that was a fantastic sight to see.
"But would about you." I sat up, looked over my shoulder at him. "I still would like to try to give you the same pleasure. "
"Let's get out and go from there." I nodded, got out of the tub carful not to slip on the water and wrapped myself in a towel, I then got one for Carlisle. He led me back to the bedroom.
I was going to do this. I kept chanting to myself. We got on the bed and I started to kiss him again. Again I went down to his chest, then to his stomach, but when I reached to his towel I didn't hesitate. I undid it and kissed his hip bone from one side to the other. I could feel his manhood had gotten aroused. I again knelt between his legs this time I ran my hands up his thighs until I reached it. I reached out with one hand and grasped it. It was soft but hard, strong. I also put my other hand on him as well. He growned. I had heard that you moved up and down so that's what I did. I also twisted my hands in different directions. The response I got made me happy.
"Oooooohhhhhhh, that's it love just like that." He had his hand by his side balling the duvet. He face contorted in pleasure.
I increased my hands slight. He arched his back. I could see a bead of liquid at the tip, so I use my thumb to swipe it. Carlisle nearly shot of the bed.
"Oh yes Essie, squeeze a little harder. Oh yes that's it baby, that's so good oh I love you."
I followed his direction I could heel it getting harder and fuller. His hips were lifting off the bed to meet my hands. I wasn't brave enough to lick it yet. I sped up a bit, I kept rubbing my thumb over the top as I saw liquid form.
"Oh yes yes, oh I'm gonna cum Es oh yes I'm cumming yes yes."
Carlisle was practically virbrating as his hips were thrusting erratically then hot liquid shot out of the tip going onto my hands and his stomach. I slowed my hands down as he slowly stopped bucking. I wiped my hands on the towel that was under him, I also cleaned his off as well. When I looked at his face it was pure bliss. I felt really good that I had given my husband the same pleasure he can give me.
"Oh wow sweetheart, that was beyond words." He brought me up and kissed me. "Thank you. "
That was pretty much what we did for the next two weeks. Enjoy each other's company. Have sex and me learning how to please my husband in the bedroom. It was going well.
It was the day before we were due to leave and Carlisle got a phone call from Marcus his middle brother.
He was pacing up and down the villa
"Yes, yes, I understand, do we know how it happened. Oh god, yeah I will, will you meet us there ok see you in two days. Bye." He stopped turned to look at me.
"Esme, I've got some distressing new, just know that every body is fine." He had sat down next to me taking his hand in mine.
"What, what's going on." I was shaking.
"There was an attempted hit on your parents, but they are ok. They are in a safe house until we can find out what's going on."
I was in tears. "Oh god, are they ok, did they get hurt were are they, can I see them." I was a wreck.
"Esme listen to me. I don't know all the details but Marcus will meet us when we land in Chicago. We will be staying with him. It's safer. He has better security there. Ok."
I just nodded I wasn't really taking it all in. I was in shock. Yes I knew this was a possibility with my fathers line of work, but it had never happened before as far as I knew. I just want to get home and hug them.
Carlisle POV
I managed to calm esme down enough for her to sleep, I started to pack our stuff we would leave first thing in the morning. What I didn't tell her was we know you tried to kill her parents. Cauis!
Once everything was packed up I went back into the bedroom, climbed into bed trying not to disturb Esme. I couldn't tell her the whole truth not yet. Cauis was alway the odd one out in our family. He was just different always wanting to do something different to everybody else. He was also power hungry. From what Marcus said Cauis wasn't happy that I married Esme. He was apparently going to go to Jonathan Platt and try to buy his way into the family. Then he would make it that when Jonathan and Mary died everything would be passed to him. But things didn't turn out that way. So he took matters into his hands a different way trying to take out Jonathan and Mary, then presumably myself and Esme. That way he could try to stake a clame.
So when we get to Marcus's place we will be under armed guard. Esme is not going to like it but she will not be able to contact her parents, its to keep them safe, even I don't know where they are. I fall into a restless sleep, I can feel Esme twisting and turning all night, by morning we were tired and ready to get home. Our driver came, picked us up and took us to the airport. We were silent all the way. Once the plane had taken off, I decided I needed to tell Esme everything.
"Esme I need to talk to you." I took her hand in mine, she looked so fragile and scared, hell, I was scared. "There are a couple of things I didn't tell you last night." Her shot up to meet mine, questioning. "Cauis is the one who had the hit put out on your parents." I could see tears welling up in her eyes.
"What why? What have my parents ever done to him." She was shaking, so I pulled her to me. I sat her on my lap running my hand up and down her back.
"We believe that he wanted to take over the from your father, he was going to try to buy his way in, then kill you parents once their will had been changed. What he didn't know was about us. The arrangement between our fathers."
"So are we a target now, or just my parents." She had tried to make herself as small as possible in my lap.
"I don't know sweetheart, that's why we are starting with Marcus. It's safer. But there is something else."
"What could be worse," she sniffed
"You can't contact your parents." Esme shot off my lap like it had burned her.
"What, I thought you said they were safe, if they are safe I can talk to them." She was pacing, waving her arms all over the place.
"Yes they are safe, but if we contact them and somehow Cauis finds out. That could mean he finds them, we can't have that." She was nodding her head, but still not settled down.
"Ok I can understand that I will do anything to keep them safe, what about your family do they know." It was the first time she had looked at me.
"Yes they know, they are on high alert. Extra security, don't go anywhere unless you absolutely have to."
"So we are under house arrest, just waiting for him to show up and kill mother, father, me and you?"
I didn't know how to respond to that, as it was true. "We will find him ok. Please come sit down. Don't know what we are going to do but we will figure things out when we get home." I managed to get her to sit down admittedly on my lap not that I cared. I was just rocking her, running my hand up and down her arm tying to calm her. Her breathing started to even out so I knew she had fallen asleep, so I carried her back to the master bedroom laid her down climbed in behind her pulling her close and drifted off.
We slept most of the way home having not slept much the night before. When I woke Esme was not there. So I went to the bathroom, splashed water on my face went out to the main cabin. There is was curled up, coffee in hand, she hadn't brushed her hair it was a beautiful mess. But she looked so sad, lonely. I walked up to her placed my hand on her back, kissed the top of her head.
"Hey" I mumbled into her hair. She just looked up at me with tears in her big green eyes. It broke my heart. She got up and wrapped her hands round my neck as if life depended on it. I sat down with her in my arm, that's how we stayed until it was time to land. I placed her in her seat did up her seat belt just like a father would a child, then sat down myself.
Once we landed I had been told by my brother that we would be escorted off the plane by Chief of Police Charlie Swan. I knew him, he is a good man. It was about 15 minutes later that he came onboard. He was 6' with slightly curled brown hair and brown eyes. He had a hard face.
"Carlisle, good to see you again, shame under these conditions." He held out his hand as he walked towards me. I took his hand and shook it.
"Yes you to Charlie, hows Renee doing?" He just nodded and muttered good. He was a man of few words. "I would like to introduce my wife Esme. Esme this is Charlie Swan Chief of Chicago police."
Charlie looked over to Esme she was still seated. She looked up at him smiled, stood up and shook his outstretched hand.
"I've heard of you, my father speaks very highly of you." She had to hold back a sob. I pulled her into my arms.
"Right we will be going straight to the car from here we have put up the stair cover so you will be protected, this is all just a precaution ok."
I nodded I don't think Esme was really listening. I kept her tucked into my side as we walked off the plane into the waiting car. It was one of Marcus's SUV's blackout windows, bullet prof glass it had the works. I thanked Charlie got Esme in the car and settle myself in. I knew the driver Billy Black, big man jet black hair took no shit from anyone. Next to him was Harry Clearwater. They were both on my brothers payroll.
"Mr Cullen." Billy nodded to me. I just nodded back.
"We will be at the house in 30 minutes or so." And with that he took of at speed. We all sat in silence there was nothing to say really. I think everybody was still in shock. Esme kept wiping tears away the only contact I had with her was to hold her hand. As we pulled up to my brothers place, I could tell there was added security. The security hut which is outside the gates was swarming with men in black suits and also dogs. The car was swept for bombs, they are just being cautious I'm sure. The dog went round the car just in case. Once the car was clear we drove through the iron gates to the front entrance. Marcus and Grace where waiting.
Grace was a beautiful lady. She had long blond hair, that she always wore in a ponytail. She had a small frame, soft face with blue piearces eyes. Harry opened my door while Billy open and helped Esme out. I went round to help Esme to the house.
"Carlisle, Esme glad your here." Marcus came towards us. He slapped my back while just nodding at Esme. "Esme this is my wife Grace. "
"It's a please to meet you I'm sorry it's under these circumstances. Come let's get you both settled in." Grace took Esme hand leading her towards the stairs. I didn't want to let her go. I knew Marcus needed to talk.
"It's ok sweetheart you go with Grace and get settled I will be there shortly." I kissed her knuckles and watched Grace lead her away. Once they were out of ear short.
"What the fuck is going on Marcus, what is Cauis thinking does Aro know what's he's playing at." I was fuming. Pacing and pulling my hair.
"Look I don't know, no one does. After the wedding he went off you know how he does, we all called him but got nothing. Then out of the blue he calls Aro and said that it should have been him marry Esme, that it was his right that he get his hands on that business and that he was going to fix it. The next thing we know is Jonathan and Mary were shot at in there own house. It was a sniper. You know Cauis is a top shot. He left no evidence. Luckily no one was hurt a few cuts and bruises nothing serious. After that everything went mad. They were rushed into hiding, the house is crawling with police trying to find anything as to who did this."
It was getting worse and worse by the moment. I was going to burst.
"It's not over. Your placed was tossed 3 nights ago, that's why your hear. But. That does not mean your safe!" He emphasised that.
"FUCK" I smacked my hand on the table. "FUCK!"
"Hey you are no use to Esme if you have a broken hand. Particularly ur shooting hand." I knew he was right but I was just so angry.
"What about Aro. Is he involved?" It Marcus's turn to pace. "That I don't know. Dad has tried to talk to him but he's being shady. So until we know otherwise yes he is. We can't be too careful. The windows are bulletproof but you know there are a few weapons that can breach it. The shades are going to be permanently closed for your safety. I would suggest you don't go outside. I don't know if it's just Cauis or if there is anybody else involved."
"So we are in a posh prison". We both turned to see Esme walking in with Grace on her hills. Esme came to stand next to me then took my hand.
"It's your safety Esme, both of yours." Marcus was worried he's never worried always relaxed. That's got me scared.
"So how long do we have to stay here, locked away." I could tell Esme didn't like the idea, but it was also how long she was being kept away from her parents.
Marcus signed "I don't know Esme. But you are welcome to stay here as long as you want."
"Yes you can help me look after my rambunctious lot. With the 4 of them it's always fun and games in this house." Esme gave her a small smile.
"Thank you Grace."
"Speaking of the kids where are they, it's too quite around here." Marcus was trying to change the subject.
"Dimitri and Alec are watching a movie and Jane and Felix are asleep. But I should start dinner they will be hungry soon." You could see the love in her eyes when she spoke of her children.
"Can I help you." I think Esme was trying to stay busy. "How old are they?"
"Dimitri is 5, Alexandra or Alec as she likes to be called at the moment is 4. Jane is 18 months and Felix is my baby he's 3 months." Grace was leading Esme into the kitchen to start dinner.
"I don't know how Esme is going to cope with this." I was pacing again.
"Look come and have a drink and relax you can't do anything tonight." Marcus was leading me to his study.
Esme POV
I was in the kitchen helping Grace with dinner, spaghetti bolanse, I was browning the mince while Grace was making pasta.
"I'm so scared Grace". I managed to say while not crying.
"I can imagine, but you know Carlisle will keep you safe." She was busy kneeding the pasta.
"Yeah I know he will try and thank you for having us in your beautiful home." I was now draining the mince of fat.
"The tomato passata is in the cupboard behind you. Herbs are right next to you. Season as you see if. My kids aren't fussy."
"Ok sure." We carried on cooking, but in silence. We were interrupted by little feet running into the kitchen.
"Mamma, mamma I'm hungry." A little voice cane from in front of the counter. I looked over and there was a little girl with dead straight brown hair. She was wearing a little polka dot dress with white tights.
"Dinner will be ready in a minute Alec. Will you come and meet your Aunt Esme." Grace was kneeling down talking softly to her daughter. Grace come round to my side of the counter holding Alec hand. She was a little shy. I knelt down to her level.
"Hi it so nice to meet you Alec." I held out my hand for her to take. She had dark eyes but every feminine features. She was hiding behind her mothers legs.
"Hi", came a little voice. She was adorable. I then heard the men coming.
"Daddy" was all I heard and then she was gone. Running up to her father who picked her up and kissed her cheek.
"How's daddy's big girl". He had a beaming smile on his face.
"Good, Auntie Esme here." As if she has known me all her life. Then she saw Carlisle and her face it up again.
"Uncle Carly", I had to chuckle at his nickname. But he gave the little girl a cuddle, kissed her cheek. She started to wriggle around wanting to get down.
"Alec go get you brother please." Alec ran off. Grace was pulling dishes out of the cupboard. "Hun could you get Jane up please."
"Sure." Marcus walked off towards the bedrooms. We could then here the two children coming from the other direction.
"Uncle Carly", I'm assuming Dimitri jumping up at Carlisle. He spun him round the put him back down. Dimitri was very similar in looks to Alec but he had short light brown hair.
"Who are you. "Dimitri was looking straight at me and pointing.
"Dimitri pointing is rude, this is your Auntie Esme. Uncle Carly wife." Marcus chastised his son while carring a little blond hair girl who was snuggled in the fathers arms with a dummy in her mouth. Carlisle said hello to I'm assuming is Jane but she turned her head away she was till tired.
"Right everybody sit down as dinner is ready." The children ran to the table and sat down ready. Jane didn't want to move from her fathers embrace. Carlisle, Grace and myself all sat. Dinner was a fun distraction from what was going on. Dimitri and Alec were very well behaved, I couldn't believe how quickly they cleaned their plate, Jane ate but had to be fed by her father. Apparently she hadn't slept all day but then crashed at 4pm. The children wanted pudding so ice cream was given out to all. It was then we heard a baby cry through the monitor. Grace got up to get Felix.
"Right you three need a bath so Carlisle will you help rangle these 3 please." As he stood up with Jane. "Sure, Esme go sit down I will sort out everything once they are bathed."
"I'm don't mind," I stood up to argue.
"No you can keep me company while I feed this little man." Grace was carrying a crying little bundle. We went into the living room, sat down were grace started to feed Felix.
"This one is just like his father always hungry." Grace was looking lovingly at her baby. I can only hope that I will one day have that. "So tomorrow. We can start talking about what we are going in sorting this situation, getting you parents home safely."
"I don't see what can be done until Cauis is caught. So much for a happy ever after so to speak."
"Esme we will catch him, you must think positive. I'm sure it's hard not to, but you have to try. We will help as much as possible."
"I know and thank you. I suppose I could look at houses? I need to keep myself busy."
"I think that is a great idea." Grace at finished feeding felix and was now winging him. It was quite for a second the felix let out an almighty burb.
"Yep your just like your daddy belching after food". We both started laughing at that.
"That's nice to see", I turned to see Carlisle come in rather wet. I had to laugh. He came over and sat down putting his wet arm around me.
"Who had the bath you or the children." Just then the children came running in including Jane this time, Marcus following equally as wet.
"Who one this time?" Grace was laughing. "It's a running joke who gets the wettest, us or the kids." Marcus sat down next to his wife and kissed her cheek.
"I won eventually with Carlisle's help." We all chucked at that. Alec then came over the Carlisle holding a book, no words needed. He picked her placed her between us and started to read The Hungry Catapila. I enjoyed listening to Carlisle read to Alec doing the funny lines and actions. I do hope we have children of our own. By the time he was finished I was cuddling Jane and Carlisle had Dimitri on his lap.
"Me next, me next", Dimitri said waving a book in front of Carlisle face. Harry and his Dinosaurs. I was trying not to laugh when Carlisle started to make dinosaur noises. By the time he'd finished both Alec and Dimitri where asleep, but Jane wanted her turn.
"Me neck, me neck," she bounced in my lap. So Carlisle did his bit and read Jane's book Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles. She was asleep when Carlisle finished it. He looked up at Marcus and Grace they were both smiling. Marcus got up and took Dimitri in his arms to bed saying he be back. One by one Marcus took all the children to bed until it was just us 4 adults and baby Felix.
"So tomorrow we will make a plan and go from there ok." Marcus had brought in a bottle of wine after taking Jane to bed, Grace had lemonade.
I laid my head on Carlisle shoulder and nodded. "Yes and Esme and myself will have to get more clothes as we only have what we took with us."
Marcus nodded, but grace jumped in "oh my god yes with all this I forgot to ask how was it." She was practically jumping in her seat.
"It was lovely thank you Grace, we both enjoyed getting to know each other, Grace's eyebrows wiggled," I couldn't stop the giggle and blush so I just hid my head.
"Grace stop teasing" Marcus tickled her side. She just looked at him, with a 'don't care' look and went back to asking question.
"I'm sure Esme will give you all the gory details but I think we are going to go to bed, what do you thing love."
"Yes please, I'm shattered." I got up stretched took Carlisles hand said good night to our hosts and went to bed. We didn't talk much while we were getting ready for bed, I just climbed into bed snuggled into Carlisle and feel into a deep dreamless sleep which I was great full for.
Esme POV
When I awoke the next morning I was wrapped in a tight embrace, with one of his hand under my top holding my breast. I could feel his morning erection nestled in between my backside. At this particular moment I felt safe, like nothing could hurt me. As I tried to move, his over arm that I was laying on came round and wouldn't let me go.
"I need the bathroom, honey I will be right back." I could feel his embrace releasing me slowly. I hopped out of bed, used the bathroom then made my way back to Carlisle, my safety. As I climbed back into bed I was wrapped up again. I could stay like this for ever. Carlisle started to pepper my neck with kisses, I tried to turn around but he stopped me.
"I want to have you this way my sweet." He then proceeded to remove my top and shorts, his boxers I've noticed are gone. He reached down to my lady parts and started to play. I was getting wet very quickly. He then stopped. I moaned in protest. "Ssshhhhhh" he whispered to me. He hand his hand down my leg the going on the inside of my leg and brought it up so I was open at a different angle. "Hold your leg up sweetheart," I would follow directions from him forever. I then felt him rubbing his erection through me then he pushed himself into me. Oh god it was good this way. I brought my leg down over his hip. As he was thrusting into me his was squeezing my breasts and kissing my neck.
"Oh Es yes, you feel so good baby fuck." I had gotten to enjoy Carlisle dirty mouth. Carlisle reached down and started playing with my button.
"Yeeeeesssssss" I moaned out. "Oh I'm gonna, I'm gonna". I then let a silent scream. I had never had an orgasm like it before. Carlisle thrusted 3 time more than relaxed next to me kissing my neck. "You alright Es."
"Mmmmmhhhhhh." He chuckled. After a few minutes. I mumbled out. "We should get up."
"You don't sound too sure about that my love." He tightened his hold on me.
"I'm too comfy." All of a sudden our door banged open and Dimitri and Alec came running in. We both quickly pulled the covers up. They jumped up on the bed bouncing and shouting 'wake up'. Marcus came running in just then in boxers and a wife beater.
"DIMITRI, ALEXANDRA WHAT DID I TELL YOU." They both turned to look at their father and there smiles dropped. "OUT NOW, GET DRESSED FOR SCHOOL. MOVE." They got down of the bed, heads down and walked out.
"Sorry guys, I did tell them to not disturb you." It was then he looked at us. "Oh ok hope they didn't interrupt anything." He wiggled his eyebrows and laughed.
"MARCUS close the door and leave them alone." Grace shouted. It was his turn to turn and walked out closing the door on his way. I turned to Carlisle and we both burst into laughter.
"Come on join me in the shower?" I said as I started to get out of bed. He was out of bed in a shot.
We managed to shower without going another round, but there was lots of touching and kissing. Once we made it downstairs Grace was in the kitchen cleaning up, while Jane was just finished breakfast.
"Good morning you two, I'm sorry about this morning, we tell then not to disturb you."
"Don't worry Grace" I walked up to her, put my hand on her shoulder. "Kids will be kids ok." I turned round to find Carlisle being fed Cheerios by Jane.
"So Marcus will be back in a minute, he's started doing the school run when all this started". She was waving her hand to emphasised recent events.
"I'm sorry Grace to put all this on you."
"Hey we're family, family stick together and Marcus loves taking the kids to school." She smiled at me before turning back to the stove. "I'm making eggs, sausage and biscuits, who's hungry."
"Me, me, me." Jane chanted out. We turned to laugh at Jane who was slapping her table.
"How can you be hungry missy, you've already had breakfast and Cheerios." "Yummy yummy yummy." Jane laughed. "Ok then 3rd breakfast for you."
"Can help at all Grace", Turning towards the kitchen counter.
"Would you mind doing the eggs, the biscuit are in the oven I'm just going to go the bacon and gravy." Grace started to get the items out of the cupboard and fridge.
"Sure." So I set to work. 10 minutes later I was done with the eggs the bacon was nearly ready, the biscuits were out and Marcus walked in the door.
"Oh you two finally out of bed." He came into the kitchen kissed Jane, the Grace, then sat down at the kitchen table.
"Oh please Marcus, we were the same. Leave them along or will not get any." Grace was pointing the tongs at him. He put his hands up in surrender.
"Ok ok." I still saw him wink at Carlisle. I couldn't help but smile. Once breakfast was served everybody got stuck in including Jane. It was delicious. When everybody finished, we all helped wash up and put away. Grace took Jane to get dressed and get Felix up, we went with Marcus to the living room.
"So what do we do today." Carlisle said from the sofa he was sitting in. I was next to him. Marcus opposite.
"Well I have people out there looking for Cauis and Aro, and so do mom and dad until then you need to stay put." He gave me a small smile. "I know you both need to go back to get more suitable clothes and Carlisle I know you need you medical stuff. We've looked into and we can get you to to your MCAT exam that way you can start studying here. Esme I don't know what you need I'm sorry but we can't take you home it's too dangerous. Grace will be able to help you out with clothes you look about the same size but I don't know about anything else."
I just burst into tears. I couldn't help it. Carlisle wrapped his arm around me and I cried into his shoulder. The men were whispering to each other but I didn't know what about. Once I had calmed down a bit Grace had now joined us with Jane and Felix.
"I know it's not ideal but I could us another pair of hands with these two, if you don't mind." She was trying to make me feel like I was needed and I appreciated that.
"Thank you very much Grace." I gave her a sad smile. I saw Marcus give grace a sideways glance, a minute later they got up took the children and left us.
"I don't know if I can do this Carlisle. I mean I'm used to having to watch my back but this, it's like I've got a bullseyes on by back. This could go on for weeks, months or god forbid it years. We can't stay here that long. It's not fair to then, the kids or us." I had my head in my hands by this point. I felt Carlisle hand on my back rubbing circles.
"I know but I will not risk your safety. I'm so pissed at my brother right now. I will fucking kill him when I get my hands on him. Right now there are good people, people we trust looking for him. I know your scared I am too. But what would rather do go back to our lives thinking we could get shot any minute. No I will not let you live like that." I snapped my head up to look at him.
"You won't let me! What's that supposed to mean. You don't control me Carlisle." He put his hand up to stop me.
"That is not what I meant and you know it." Yes I knew it but I was angry and annoyed at the situation and he was the only one I can let my anger out at. I dropped my head again.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. I just don't know what to do." He took my face in his hands and made me look at him.
"I don't know either but we will work through this together ok. Now i think you need to make a list of everything you need and when I got out to my place I will pick up what I can, otherwise Grace can help you out I'm sure."
He learned in and kissed me softly. "You ok now?" I just nodded. "Ok right let's get cracking ok." He pulled me to my feet kissed me again, we then made our way to the kitchen.
"Esme why don't you come with me and we can rummage through my stuff and see what you like and then whatever else you need the boys can get it." Grace linked her arm through mine and we took off to her closet.
Carlisle POV
To see Esme so sad, it was killing me. Grace had managed to get Esme limited amount of clothes. My heart breaks for her.
"So we are going to go to your place get what you need ok."
"So who's here with Grace and Esme?" I need to know Esme is protected.
"Jack, Ross, Stephen and Vincent are here as well as the dogs. They are all trained by Billy. I trust them with my family Carlisle." Marcus looked me in the eye and put his hand on my shoulder. "Come on the quicker we go the quicker we can get back. You got Esme list?" I nodded, while following Marcus out to the garage. Harry was driving, while McCarthy was in the passenger seat. McCarthy had been with us for years, he was built like a brick shit house, bald and gold teeth. He was hard as nails. The drive to my apartment was silent, just thinking.
Once we got to my apartment, Billy and McCarthy got out to check the perimeter. I had made sure I was armed before I left the house. When we got the signal that it was clear we made our way in. I was looking all round. "Don't worry Carlisle we got snipes on the roof just in case." That made me fill a little better. Once inside we checked my apartment, all clear. That's when I registered the mess. It was trashed. Everything was thrown all over place. It was going to be difficult to find everything I needed.
"Make it quick" McCarthy grunted. Man of few words. "I need your help then, it will take me days to go through this lot."
"Ok tell us what you need and were it was before your place was trashed." Marcus had brought several suitcases with him.
"My books, they were one the table along with my laptop. Clothes that's pretty obvious. I will get my weapons." McCarthy was standing by the front door keeping watch. Everybody set to work. I went to my gun safe which was in my bedroom closet. I typed in the code, opened the door to find nothing. Except a photo.
"Oh sit MARCUS, BILLY!" Billy came running in, Marcus turns around.
"What's up." Marcus stood beside me.
"Gone. All gone, no one knows the cope to this safe. But they left this". I turned it over to find a picture of Esme and me on our honeymoon. "What the fuck, no one knew where we where going. Someone followed us there."
"Do you know when that was taken." Billy spoke up for the first time.
"Yeah it was our 5th day there, I remember as it was first time Esme wore that dress, I made a comment about how lovely it was." I turned it over in my hand and here was a note on the back. "Enjoy it why it lasts". Marcus had his phone out pressed to his ear. "Ross, I want you inside the house with Harry. I'll explain when we get back." Marcus snapped his phone shut.
"Come on we need to hurry. I don't know if it's a threat to both or just one of you." He didn't need to tell me twice.
Once I got everything I could get we were gone. Esme would have to wait for some of her stuff it wasn't safe. Marcus phone rang then.
"Yes, WHAT, shit, Billy step on it." He was listening carefully.
"Marcus what's wrong," he just held out his hand to stop me "Marcus is it Esme." He shock his head no. I slumped in my seat. What else has gone wrong. Marcus closed his phone. He turned to look at me.
"Who are Peter, Charlotte and Hazel?" His face didn't give anything away.
"They are Esmes aunt, uncle and I think their daughter. Why?" I didn't like the sound of this.
"I'm sorry Carlisle they were found dead this morning." He put his hand on my shoulder.
"Oh dear god, this will break Esme, wait there are 3 sons, what about them?" I closed my eyes wondering how I'm going to tell Esme.
"That's all I know so far I'm afraid. Does she have any other family." I shook my head. "No her mother was an only child, Jonathan on had Peter. This was Cauis wasn't it."
"As I said I don't know, Charlie Swan is coming by later to talk to Esme." How was I going to tell her. When I find him I'm going to gut him like a fucking fish!
When we returned back to Marcus's, he went off to find Grace, she was putting the children down for a nap. Esme was curled up reading a book. She looked up and smiled at me, but that soon faded, she uncurled herself and stood up.
"What the matter Carlisle." I took her hands and made her sit down with me.
"When I got to my apartment the place was trashed, I don't think anything was taken but whoever managed to get to my gun safe, they broke in an took everything. I want to be honest with you Esme ok." She nodded. "I found a photo left in the guns place. It was a photo of us on our honeymoon." I looked at her beautiful face to see her eyes glazed with tears. "I'm sorry my love but I have something else to tell you. Marcus got a phone call in the car." I took a deep breath. "The police found Peter, Charlotte and Hazel, dead. I'm so sorry."
The scream that came out of Esme's mouth was primal. I gathered her in my arms as she collapsed against me. She was crying her heart out and I was useless. I couldn't take her pain away. I just rocked her, it was all I could do. I don't know how long passed but Esme had cried herself to sleep, so I picked her up and carried her to our bedroom for the time. On he way I passed Marcus and a red eyed grace. Grace just nodded.
"I will bring you some food up later ok. We are hear if you need us." Marcus said as he cuddles his wife. When we git to the bedroom I placed her on the bed, pulled up the covers and slid in next to her. I just held her.
