Isabella Swan
[Author's Note: Thank you all for the support and thank you for understanding that I have to have a couple of days to myself this week without posting. I have to go to a wedding and stuff. So today there will be a post, and then no post until Sunday. This one is more exposition. Next chapter will be mostly smut! See you soon!]
Rosalie kissed every single inch of Bella Swan's face. She kissed her throat and her collar bones and that smooth spot beneath Bella's ear. The brunette's head was tilted back, her eyes closed.
"I didn't say it for you to say it back," Bella told her, "I just had to say it."
The vampire held the smaller woman's face in her hands. "Bella.."
"Do you want to hear it again?" The park ranger asked her, stroking her hair.
"Yes."
"I"m in love with you," Bella told the blonde, her eyes glistening, "I am so fucking in love with you."
Bella knew that it was weird that she'd just said something so serious in an airplane bathroom but she couldn't help it. The feeling had been burning up inside of her all day.
"Bella," Rosalie tried again, placing her fingertips to Bella's chin to steady her gaze. Her fingers were still glistening with the brunette's wetness. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"But you could," the park ranger replied, "and it wouldn't matter. I'd still love you. I'm deep Rose. I'm all the way in."
"I won't hurt you," Rosalie said again and she kissed the smaller woman. With their lips still touching, she asked, "Can I keep you?"
"Casper," Bella mumbled, "you've watched Casper?"
"I told you I was a good dancer."
Bella mm'ed appreciatively. And then she nuzzled her nose against Rosalie's and said, "You realize we have to stay in here for the rest of the plane ride, right?"
Rosalie laughed, "And why is that Babydoll?"
"Because I just took three of your fingers and I was anything but quiet and now the entire plane knows that I just came for you." Horror struck her face. "Esme, oh my god Esme."
The blonde was smirking. She helped Bella fix her outfit and get down from the sink. She washed her hands and Bella's chin. "It's going to be fine," she told the smaller woman. "You just have to strut out there and own it."
"Own it?" The brunette groaned. "You just owned it. I just took it."
"And you took it so well too," Rosalie purred, praising the other woman. "Come on Baby." She opened the door and pulled the brunette out into the cabin. Immediately, the other five vampires looked to them.
"Us next," Garrett said, motioning to Kate and Carmen. "We can all take turns."
Carmen glared at him and Kate hid her eyes, embarrassed.
Bella nursed an intense blush for the rest of the plane ride. At least until she fell asleep in Rosalie's arms anyway. It was just so incredibly easy to relax around the blonde vampire. With Rose, Bella felt completely safe. It was so hard for her to remember that somewhere James was devising a plan to attack them.
When they landed, and Rosalie had kissed her awake, she also broke the news to Bella that they had to split up for an hour or two. The park ranger immediately began to pout and so as soon as they were down the stairs and on the ground, the blonde kissed her a dozen times to make her smile again.
Three cars met them at the private airport. All of them were Bentley's with complete wrap around tint. Garrett and Kate got into one, Esme and Alice and Carmen in another. They were waiting for Bella, who was standing outside of the door, not wanting to let go of Rosalie.
"Garrett and Kate are going back to the hotel to ensure everything is in order," the blonde told Bella. "You four are going to get you a coffee and do some shopping. I'll meet up with you very soon." Her perfect fingers were stroking Bella's jaw. "Don't pout Little Bell, that's not fair."
"I don't like leaving you," Bella admitted, a whine in her tone. "I want you to stay safe with me."
"It won't be long," Rosalie promised. She kissed her softly, lovingly, and then she urged her into the car. When the door was closed, she went to her own vehicle. Bella watched her go, feeling the ache the moment she was out of sight.
They'd landed at an airport about twelve miles out of Manhattan, so their drive wasn't exceptionally long. The entire group was staying at The Greenwich hotel in One World Trade which Alice told her was an amazing place to stay. There were tons of restaurants and shops in walking distance, so they had the car take them to whichever place sounded like it had the best coffee. Bella picked a cafe called Central Beans and when they got there and got out of the car, she remembered where she was.
"Wow."
"Never been to New York City before?" Alice asked her, linking their arms together, "isn't it wonderful?"
"There's just so much to look at," she gushed, taken by all the bright lights and tall buildings.
"I know," Carmen agreed in her sexy Spanish accent. "I can't get over it either." Then, noticing the shop next to Central Beans, she said, "When you two are done over there, Esme and I will be over there." She pointed to a place called The Passion Chest, which was most definitely a shop for adults.
Bella's eyebrows lifted and she looked to Alice who laughed. "Rosalie warned you that we're not all prudes," she said, and winked.
In the dark cafe, Bella got a large iced caramel oat milk latte. It felt like heaven as she took big drinks of it. She tried to pay for it but Alice refused, saying that Rosalie had absolutely forbidden Bella from using any of her own money.
"She made me promise," Alice replied, smiling brightly. "She just wants to spoil you. I can't blame her, of course. You're perfectly spoilable."
"I have a job though," Bella countered.
"But it's really not necessary," Alice presented, shrugging. "You're one of us now Bella, we'll take care of you."
The brunette wasn't sure why that statement had such a profound effect on her, but she immediately became bleary eyed again, and before they could go inside the sex shop, she had to wipe her eyes.
"Hey hey hey," Alice cooed, bending to put her petite hands on Bella's shoulders, "no crying. Rosalie would be losing her mind right now if she knew I was allowing you to spill any tears."
"I'm just full of emotions really," Bella explained. "I just really love.. You guys."
"And we love you too," Alice said. "So much."
Inside the shop, Alice joined Esme over at the toys for him section. Bella stood in the center and spun around, her eyes catching on all sorts of bright colorful objects, and shiny black leather accessories. She'd gone to places like this once or twice with Jess and Ang but.. Never for herself.
"Looking for anything specific?" Carmen asked Bella, coming up to stand by her side. "I don't really care, I just want to get away from the man-lovers over there." She motioned to Esme and Alice, who were standing by the cockring display.
"Um," Bella said and then laughed. "I wouldn't even know where to start."
"Really?" the other woman looked taken aback. "Judging by the noises coming from the bathroom on the plane, I was pretty sure you were just as kinky as Rose."
"Just as kinky?" Bella repeated. "Is.. Is Rose super kinky?"
The Spanish woman's expression reflected a mixture of shock and curiosity. "Don't you know?"
"Yes," Bella said quickly. "I mean-" she could feel her cheeks getting super hot and she just bailed on the rest of her explanation.
The vampire tilted her head to the side. "Dios Mio," she said after a moment, "of course! You are a human."
"Unfortunately," the human replied.
"It's so romantic," Carmen gushed, patting Bella's cheek dramatically, "you and Rosalie. She's gentle with you." She took Bella's hand and began to lead her over to a corner of the store. "Come," she said, "let me help you."
The vampire showed the brunette a collection of bondage items and then gestured to a wall of strap-ons.
"Ohmygod," Bella huffed, looking at the sea of dildos. "I don't even know.."
"Well what are you and your partner into?" A store clerk asked. She appeared by Bella's side so fast that for a second the brunette thought she was a vampire.
"I'm not her partner," Carmen told the lady. "Her partner is an animal and she needs some provisions." She smiled.
"An animal?" the clerk responded. "Well maybe you need some bondage? Or maybe a sword to fight with?" Her eyebrows waggled and she referenced the same things Carmen had suggested.
Bella must have been the color of a tomato, but she powered through. She actually did want to get something for Rosalie. She'd been thinking about it since Rosalie had said what she'd said the night before.. Would she really do that for Bella?
"Would.. Um, these work?" Bella asked Carmen, holding up a pair of handcuffs.
"Not those," the vampire responded, taking them and replacing them with a different pair. "She'll break nickel. You need titanium."
Bella settled on a black strap set. She really had no idea how to use it and definitely didn't want to ask Carmen or Alice or especially not Esme. She figured she could just google it. She was surprised to see that they bought things too and Bella didn't ask about their purchases and luckily, they didn't ask her about hers.
After they perused a couple of other shops, they returned to the cafe and the four of them took seats around an old fashioned style iron table.
"Are you glad to get out of Forks for the weekend?" Esme asked Bella as they lounged and waited for Rosalie.
"Yes," she responded, "but if I'm completely honest, I'm worried about Carlisle and Edward and everyone."
Alice and Rosalie both took one of the brunette's hands.
"Oh Sweet Bella," the pixie-like vampire said, "Everything is absolutely okay. Carlisle and Edward and the friends that remained with them are very capable."
"Alice is right," Esme urged, "try not to worry. This weekend is meant to be fun. You're meant to have fun."
"I am," the park ranger assured Esme. "But I still feel bad."
Rosalie was suddenly there, and her lips were pressing against Bella's cheek. "Why do you feel bad?" She asked, coming around to pick Bella up and then sit back down with her in her lap. "Who do I have to track down?"
"No one, Rosalie," Alice sang, "Your Bella is once again being selfless. She feels guilty about leaving Carlisle and Edward in Forks."
"Don't," Rosalie told her, gently, her hands petting Bella's thighs, her lips moving against her hair. "With the two of them there, Forks is the second safest place on Earth right now."
"Where is the first?" Bella wanted to know.
"With me," the vampire whispered, beginning to draw patterns on Bella's thighs. Moving some of the brunette's chestnut locks, she started to place kisses on Bella's neck. "In my arms."
Carmen groaned expressively. "Please just rub it in my face."
Bella experienced some difficulty trying to focus on something other than Rosalie's stroking fingers, or the blonde vampire's soft kisses. "I'm sorry?" she asked, her hand on the blonde's jaw, urging Rose to continue kissing.
Carmen began to explain then, but it was entirely in Spanish and Bella had no idea what she was saying. She only knew basic conversational Spanish, and because Rosalie had begun to hum in her ear, she didn't catch a single word. Esme and Alice had started their own conversation about previous NYC trips and weren't listening. Carmen was clearly upset. The brunette caught Rosalie's face.
Without explanation, Rosalie immediately translated for her. "She's jealous that I can have my hands all over you and she can't even touch Kate without Garrett saying something about it. And she also said that she wished Katie would buy her something like you bought for me." The vampire bit Bella's lip playfully. "What did you buy me Little Bell?"
Bella blushed again for what had to have been the hundredth time that day. "You'll see," she said.
"Do I just get to see it?" the vampire teased, "or can I feel it too?"
"It'll be however you want it," Bella replied, unable to keep herself from egging on her beautiful vampire. "I have to repay you for the plane ride.."
Their lips met and as though there was no one else around, Rosalie slid her tongue into Bella's mouth and they began to make out. They gradually track of the city and began to collapse into one another. Then Alice cleared her throat.
"While Esme and I adore seeing both of you happy and we think the affection you have for each other, both romantic and sexual, is both valid and beautiful.. It's driving Carmen crazy." She smiled brightly.
Bella gave Rosalie her hands to kiss instead of her lips and said to Carmen, "We're sorry, really. It's just hard to focus when-"
"Believe me," Carmen expressed, "I know what it feels like to crave someone."
In an effort to try and calm herself down, Bella spun slightly in Rosalie's lap and smoothed her hair. "How are you handling that anyway?" she asked, trying her best to switch back into normal conversation. "How are you able to live with them knowing that she's.."
Carmen scoffed. "How could I possibly live without them when them includes her? I can't leave her side. I know that she has loyalty to the one that came before but.." She shook her head. "I'm losing my mind," Carmen huffed, dramatically. "If I have to wait much longer.."
"You won't," Alice suddenly said, reaching forward and clasping Carmen's hand. "Just hang in there!"
Rosalie rose from the chair then, helping Bella to her feet. "Goodnight everyone," she said, as their ride pulled up nearby, "The human needs her rest."
"Rest," Carmen responded, "Sure." She waved them off but winked at Bella as the brunette slid into the car.
