Aro's Point of View
Isabella glued herself into my side as Major Whitlock stepped in, sat down and closed the door. I told Demetri to drive back to the house, after Jane.
He can't hurt you, Isabella. I said as I held her tightly in my arms, her face hidden between my arm and side. Fear and safety mixed with love for me rolled off of her in waves, as I kept my eyes on the Major.
"King Aro, I will not harm your mate, it is clear she is yours and not my brothers. There clearly has been a very big misunderstanding between my wife and brother. Alice's visions aren't always correct, as you know from her time with your coven when she was first turned and I know she has lied about parts of her story. I love Alice, but I don't always like the woman."
"And with your gift Major Whitlock, how could you not tell? Your coven is pretty much all mated. You can see and feel how clearly she is mine. From what I have seen through my wife's memories, even though they are foggy at times, I believe she is his singer, not his mate. But you know the two of them will have to be punished for not only breaking the rules but bringing an innocent human into our world, when she actually wasn't there to be brought in, in the first place. It should have been I who showed my Queen our skin in the sunlight, and it should have been me, who told her about our kind."
"I understand, and yes. I guess Rosalie was right all along… yet Carlisle wasn't hearing any of it. I felt something was off, but couldn't fully figure out what? So I kept my distance and opinions to myself." The car has just pulled into our driveway.
"You don't sound too upset about Alice getting punished?" Isabella asks him, still not looking directly at him. I could tell this question surprised him, and he frowned.
"If this is a time for honesty, and I have your covens promise of secrecy for now, until assward, hears someone think it, then I would like to question a few things that have been on my own mind. Virginward won't dive into my mind, and invade my personal space because he doesn't like what he sees, and I deliberately think of those days back in the south, to keep him out."
"I'm surprised none of you saw this coming?" I asked him, genuinely curious for his answer.
"Alice and Edwards genuine surprise by hearing Isabella in the car with you and Jane proves that my wife did not see this one coming at all. They were worried when Edwa went to check if you were okay, last night, as he always does by the tree, only to discover you were not there, and found a drunk Charlie in his chair instead asleep, with the football left on. He went back this morning and found Vampire scents around the house that freaked them out too when he came back. They phoned Billy Black, to see if you were on the reservation, and when he said no, they've been a mess ever since, as Bella never answered their calls either. I guess the last thing they expected to find was you two together," he finished explaining.
"Aro killed my phone, and I had it on silent because I didn't want to be bothered by anyone, wanting some space. They can be…" my wife trailed off trying to find the right words to use.
"Overbearing, overwhelming, has no regard for the meaning of personal space?" Jasper answered for her, and this time she did look at him,
"Yes! Since meeting my husband, my head has felt the clearest it's ever felt since I first moved here. I feel like I am my own person again," she explains to him.
"This is why your two coven members are in trouble also, Whitlock. It is clear as day to me, what they have done to my wife but come, let's go inside, instead of talking in the car. My office is much nicer," I say.
Demetri is at the door in a flash opening it, and I gesture for the Major to get out first, Isabella sinks into my side a bit more as he gets close but otherwise, she doesn't feel as feared as she did before when he first came in. I take hold of her chin, and kiss those lush lips, wishing I could be buried deep inside my wife again.
I want that too, I haven't stopped wanting you since our first time. She says, in response to my thoughts.
Very soon, I want you on my desk, it's our connection. If you were a vampire I'd be fucking you and loving your body for as long as we both can go on for.
We end up having sex in the car again, before making it into the house. I can't resist her, she's perfection in every way. My whole existence has become centred around her, and it's not even been twenty-four hours. How my brothers can keep away from their wives I do not understand…
Are you sure you can handle the distance between us love? When you go back to that… place. I ask her. I wasn't sure if I could be away from her for so long.
No… maybe I could spend my lunch hour with you. See if it'll work that way? I want to at least try. Plus I want to slap Lauren in the face for her comments. At least I don't look like a fake pug, whose mother lets her have Botox.
What is Botox? I could smell something from some of the people around us.
Botox is stuff people use to keep their face looking younger! I'm pretty sure she and another girl Jessica have lip fillers too, to shape their lips and make them bigger if they wanted to.
I forbid you to ruin your natural beauty and to never get Botox or any kind of fixing done to your perfect skin. I tell her, completely seriously.
I wouldn't want to anyway, hubby. My life is forever with you, and when I'm turned I will not need anything else but you. Bella responds, and I pull her into a spare room on the second floor, and can't help myself. I made love to my wife this time on the bed.
"You do not seem bothered by the fact that everyone can hear us enjoying one another's bodies, love?" I ask my wife out loud as I palm her breast, kissing her lips.
"It is what it is? I guess I grew used to that, at there's, not being able to have a private conversation without everyone else knowing, I guess I just kind of accepted it."
"I am lucky to have such an accepting mate." I kissed her, pouring everything I felt into that kiss, knowing she'd feel it. Isabella made sure she took ownership of my cock, before we left the room, as I growled her name out, through my release. I also ate her out again, I couldn't help myself, she tasted better than blood, and I'm thankful her human body can handle so much passion and sex, it's like she was made for just me.
"You ruined another outfit I loved hubby!" She said, kissing me on the lips as I handed her a Volturi robe I found in the wardrobe, as I placed my own on.
"I will set you up with my bank, do you have any credit cards?" I asked her, as I held her hand leaving the room.
"No. I used my mothers or Charlie's once, or twice:"
"Then what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours! I want you to buy double or triple of everything you want because we will be intimate a lot! It is also normal for newly mated couples, and the female to feel extra clingy to the male. Virgins are rare, and I admire you for not throwing it away to some randomer, it makes our bond that much stronger than others!" I explained to her, as I led her in the direction of my office, and it is also next to the doors of our private chambers, where I knew the Major was waiting for us, along with Caius and Marcus.
Once I reach the door, I kiss the side of my wife's forehead, and open it, feeling her nerves rise, I send her calm and love, as we enter and close the door behind, giving us the illusion of privacy.
"Brothers, Major Whitlock! I apologise for keeping you waiting…" even though I wasn't sorry in the slightest.
"Don't bother saying what you don't, Aro," Marcus said rolling his eyes.
"Let's get this shit show over with. I've got better things to do, like fuck my own wife." Caius is blunt as always said.
"Major Whitlock," I say to him, and he looks away from my wife to me. Isabella is hiding half behind me, her fingers gripping the back of my robe. I can't blame her, she's surrounded by powerful men, one of them whose family has wronged her.
Would love to know what you all think :) thanks for all the love and support you've kindly shown :)
