Chapter 12

Bella groaned in frustration as she leaned against the front door. Alice's and her bags were sitting near Bella's feet on the ground, and Bella pulled out her phone from her back pant pocket to check the time.

"Alice, we are going to miss our flight if we don't leave soon" Bella yelled up the stairs, causing Alice to laugh as she walked down the stairs from their bedroom, holding her carry-on bag.

"Trust me, you worry too much." Alice smiled as the rest of the family entered the living room.

"You have fun now, you hear?" Emmett grinned as he playfully put Bella into a bear hug and messed with Bella's hair.

"Oh yeah, I'll do my absolute best to" Bella replied sarcastically with a slight smirk as Rosalie pulled her in a tight embrace. Bella returned the hug but was filled with a sense of curiosity. The embrace felt different, almost as if Rosalie was trying to say something through the embrace.

"Have a safe flight, Bella. We will see you in a couple of days" Rosalie smiled as she pulled back from Bella, who nodded with a smile.

Alice and Bella said their goodbyes to Jasper, Esme, Carlisle and Emmett before walking out to find Jake waiting near black pickup truck. Jake picked up their bags with ease and placed them into the backseat of the truck. Bella jumped into the front seat, while Alice slid into the back. Jake turned on some music and drove to the airport, while the three conversed in general topic conversation. It didn't take long for them to reach the airport and Bella leaned over and hugged Jake, thanking him for the ride. Alice and Bella picked up their bags and made their way to an airplane. That is when it dawned on Bella that they weren't going on a commercial flight, this was a private jet.

"Alice, is this yours?" Bella finally asked as she sat down on a comfortable leather seat, near the window.

"Yes, Bella. This is my private jet. The staff members don't know the truth of what I am but they know that I am not human. We have been working with them with the family for years. You see, I love to travel but doing so on a commercial airline would be impossible." Alice replied as she took her own seat next to Bella, closer to the aisle.

"Alice, this may be an inappropriate question but just how wealthy are you?" Bella asked with a raised eyebrow as the plane started up.

"As a couple Bella, no questions are inappropriate. To answer your question, I am very well to do. My visions allow me to watch trends with the stock market. I invest very well and rewarded for my efforts. I don't know the exact amount I have in my account but I know that I have enough to easily support you and I for many, many years." Alice smiled as Bella nodded, " I will get you added onto my account and get you setup with our point of contact once we get back"

"Sounds good" Bella smiled and took a small bottle out of her jacket pocket and opened it. She shook out a couple small blue tablets and swallowed them quicky, earning a curious expression from Alice.

"What? Even badass shifters get motion sickness" Bella shrugged and Alice chuckled lightly at that. Bella leaned against the side of the plane, feeling drowsy from the medicine.

"Take a nap love, we will be there soon" Alice purred and Bella nodded, pulling Alice next to her. Alice snuggled up next to Bella and pulled out a novel, sighing in happiness as she felt Bella's breathing slow and become deeper as she fell into a deep sleep.


Bella was woken up by a light kiss on her neck. Bella yawned and stretched out, rubbing her eyes out of habit. She sat up and stretched, and looked over to Alice who was smiling at her.

"We just landed, Bella" Alice murmured and Bella stood up and stretched.

She grabbed the bags and left the plane with Alice. They exited the plane to find a rental car already waiting for them. The vehicle was a red mustang convertible. Alice put the top down and Bella shed off her jacket, feeling the warmness of the tropical air. The two star crossed lovers entered the vehicle, and Alice drove them to the nearby port. Bella watched in awe at the liveliness of the town. The shops were packed with people, the streets were alive with conversation, music and livelihood even during the peak of night. Alice smiled as she felt Bella's happiness as she took in the surroundings. They reached the port, and Alice parked the car and the two of them exited the vehicle. They placed their bags into the deep blue and white speedboat and Alice started the boat. The boat sped across the clear caerulean water and Bella leaned over the side, the wind flying through her long hair. Bella watched as a beautiful and secluded island came into sight. Alice pulled the boat up to the port, and the two exited, walking across the white warm sandy beach and into a beautiful vacation home.

Bella could not contain herself. She gripped the bags tighter and started to run towards the house, leaving Alice behind her who was laughing at Bella's almost childlike response. Bella opened the door and walked in, her eyes taking in the large glass windows dominating most of the house and the same light color pattern as the Cullen's house in Forks. Bella continued venturing and discovered that the house also had two bedrooms, one large bathroom, a polished and modern kitchen, and a large bay window overlooking the beach.

Bella placed their bags into the blue room on the floor, finding that this was the room that had a door that opened up and allowed them onto the beach. Alice walked in, her eyes locked onto Bella, feeling her eyes slightly darken in anticipation of what the night would hold. Bella quickly moved to unpack the toiletries in the bathroom and then walked back in, seeing Alice looking at her with a smile.

"Bella, I need to go experience the island and hunt. Please, have some human time. I promise I won't be long" Alice smiled as she left the room. Bella nodded and got into the shower, quickly just washing off the layer of sweat that had found its way onto her body.

Bella exited and changed into black cargo shorts and a camo pattern spaghetti strap shirt and slipped on black flipflops. Bella quickly grabbed her wallet, and left, grabbing the keys to the boat and headed back into town.

Bella walked through the crowds of people, making her way to the nearby jewelry shop she had seen Alice drive by just a few moments ago. Bella moved the fabric covering to the entrance aside and walked in, heading to the ring section. Bella looked through the selection until her eyes spotted a ring, the ring.

"Excuse me sir, but may I see that ring?" Bella asked and the shopkeeper nodded and opened the case before handing the ring to Bella for her to examine. The ring was white gold, with black diamonds accenting the band. In the middle was an 18-carat diamond, cut to be in the shape of a heart.

" I'll take it" Bella nodded after a few moments of thought, and handed over the cash to cover the cost. The shopkeeper smiled and put the ring into a handcrafted polished and wooden box.

"She must be one special woman to be receiving this ring from you." The shopkeeper smiled as she handed the box to Bella.

"She's the one" Bella nodded as she thanked the shopkeeper and exited the store. Bella knew that Alice would not be able to see the decision made by her as they were not yet fully connected. Bella made her way back to the boat and headed back to island, the ring secured into her pocket. Bella parked the boat and walked back inside to the bedroom. Bella kneeled down on the floor and pulled the box out, playing with it between her fingers.

'I know that she's the one. I know that it may be too soon, but I don't see what the point of waiting is anymore. I'll have to gauge it and play it by ear. I don't want to rush her.' Bella mused to herself as she put the box into a compartment in her suitcase and closed it.

Bella shed off her clothes at this point and put on her bathing suit, which consisted of turquoise board shorts that ended just above her knee and a black, purple and turquoise bikini top that was swirled together in a bohemian style. Bella grabbed a large black towel from the linen closet and opened the sliding glass door in the bedroom and made her way onto the beach. Bella dropped her towel on the soft, warm white sands and then made her way into the surf. Even at night, the water was slightly warm and inviting. Bella made her way out deeper, before diving underwater. Bella came to the surface just a few moments later and floated on her back, her eyes locked onto the shimmering sea of stars above her.


Alice made her way back into the house after a successful hunt and found the door to be open. Her eyes looked out into the ocean and saw Bella. Alice suddenly felt something that she had not yet felt in her existence, a feeling of anxiousness. She knew that tonight would be the night, she would not stop Bella or herself from taking the next step in their relationship. Alice shed her clothes and put on a bright red bikini before walking out onto the beach, making her way towards her one true love.

Alice effortlessly swam out to Bella through the warm waters. Bella felt Alice's presence come closer and let herself float for a minute before flipping forward and placing her feet onto the ocean's bottom floor, the water coming up to Bella's shoulders. Alice swam over and wrapped her legs around Bella's waist and arms around her neck.

"Did you have a good hunt?" Bella asked as she wrapped her own arms around Alice's back.

"I did, thank you" Alice smiled before leaning in and placing her lips onto Bella's. Bella kissed back but was overcome with a new feeling. This kiss felt different. It was more steady, more demanding. Bella pulled back just for a moment, her eyes searching into Alice's for an answer to her question.

" Alice?" Bella asked, as she watched Alice's eyes darken.

"I love you Isabella Swan… Please allow me the privilege of showing you just how much" Alice murmured before leaning back in and recapturing Bella's lips as her own. Bella moaned against Alice's lips and moved her hands down to support Alice's thighs, carrying them back into the house, not once breaking the kiss. Bella laid Alice down on the bed and hovered over her, running a hand down the side of Alice's face, her eyes locked into darkening orbs.

"Alice, are you sure? If you're not ready for this, I can wait. I swear." Bella murmured out in a husky voice.

"Bella, I am positive. I want this. I want you, and only you. Forever" Alice replied in a soft voice as she rolled to be on top of Bella.

Bella looked up at Alice with a gaze of unadulterated adoration imitating off of her chocolate orbs, and gently wrapped her arms around Alice's neck.

"Alice, if you truly agree to this, I know for sure that I won't be able to ever let you go. There will be no leaving, no running, and definitely no breaking up. " Bella murmured as she gently brushed her fingers against Alice's face.

"Who said I would let you go, even if you tried? Besides, I've searched my whole existence for the arms that I could fall into. And I have decided that the only thing that I want to focus on, is chasing this so-called "forever" down, but with you by my side." Alice breathed lightly as she closed her eyes, and leaned into Bella's soft touch.

"My heart, it only beats for you." Bella murmured, " And if you are sure that this is what you want, then… I won't deny you of anything. Of me, or of this true love that you so desperately need." Bella finished as Alice looked down into her eyes, and nervously bit her bottom lip.

"Bella, I am positive. I want nothing more than to have your love, tonight, tomorrow, and for the rest of our existence." Alice responded. Bella did not reply, but sat up and locked her soft lips against Alice's.

That was all the urging that Alice needed. Her carefully constructed control, the want and desire for Bella that Alice had caged for so long, snapped under the utterance of that one simple kiss. Alice peeled off her bathing suit top and with a flick of her wrist, tossed it over to the other side of the room. Bella looked in awe at Alice's toned core muscles, running her hands over them, memorizing the feel. Alice placed her cool hands on Bella's exposed stomach, and encircled her waist, before reaching up to remove her bathing suit top as well. Alice took Bella's hand, and slowly swept her tongue over her palm, sucking her on fingertips. A bolt of desire ran down Bella's spine, down all of her nerve endings.

"Alice…" Bella breathed out.

"You're intoxicating to me Bella… you go straight to my head like aged wine" Alice moaned, running her lips across Bella's neck. Alice's lips ghosted over Bella's neck, gentle and barely touching. Bella sighed beneath Alice, as she then slid her hands up to Bella's knees, stroking the sensitive area behind them, all the way up to her thighs. Alice then kissed her way up Bella's body, capturing her mouth in a dominant kiss. While Alice had Bella's lips, she slowly removed the swim shorts that Bella had on, and discarded them with her own bottoms. They were both completely nude as this point. Alice moaned as Bella's strong arousal began to fill the room.

Alice pulled Bella's body to her own, both angling in for a kiss and their lips met greedily, roughly, tasting and exploring without qualms, tongues sweeping against one another, battling for dominance. Alice's cool hands slid their way over the bare skin of Bella's back, taking in the softness of her skin, exploring the various dips and inclines of her muscles before coming to grasp her full bottom roughly when she nipped on Bella's lower lip. Bella's hands were tangled in Alice's short and layered dark hair, fingers alternating between caresses and tugs, holding Alice still so she could plunder her mouth with her tongue even as she fought back for dominance.

They broke away briefly, panting, eyes locked as they contemplated what they were doing. Even in this state, Alice's darkened eyes met Bella's still offering her an opportunity to back out before it was too late. Bella gave Alice a smile, answering her unspoken query with another fervent kiss. Alice groaned her pleasure at her mate's acceptance, wrapping her arms around Bella's slim waist and hugging her close.

They continued their unabashed exploration of one another; there was no need for caution with the sense of acceptance and completion swirling around them. Bella ran one hand down the back of the pixie's neck, nails trailing against Alice's skin, earning her a shiver and nip to her lip. She tugged Alice's dark locks in playful reprimand for the action but moaned softly when Alice suckled softly on the tender area.

Something clicked inside Alice's mind at the sound. Alice liked being the reason for eliciting such a response from her mate. Growing bolder, eager to hear another, Alice slid her hands upward, over Bella's hips and ribs until she was drawing lazy circles with her thumbs on the sensitive skin of the sides of Bella's breasts. Bella shivered at the contact, sinking into her bedding a little bit more so that Alice's hands could slide forward to cup the full weight of her breasts. Alice thumbs continued their lazy circular motions, skimming the edges of her nipples. Alice leaned down to place gentle kisses down the side of Bella's jaw, trailing down her neck even as she lightly, playfully, pinched the engorged tips, finally earning another moan. Grinning against Bella's neck at her accomplishment, she continued to explore the various areas of her breasts whilst discovering others along Bella's neck and ear.

Bella, regardless of the amount of pleasure she was receiving, refused to take all without also giving. She untangled her fingers from Alice's dark tresses, sliding her hands over the slopes of Alice's shoulders, down the mounds of her chest, feeling the cool skin and soft skin. Bella then reached Alice's hips and rested her hands there, continuing to lazily run her fingers against Alice's hipbones.

Alice hissed out a breath against Bella's neck, and found that she had underestimated Bella's enjoyment for revenge. Bella's soft hand reached down and she slid her fingertips against the inside of Alice's inner thighs. Giving a growl of startled enjoyment, Alice briefly bucked her hips forward in response to the new sensation. Bella chuckled huskily, knowing she had gained the upper-hand.

"Bella …When did you learn…How to do…This?" the pixie groaned, eyes closed in pleasure as Bella continued to rub her fingers over her sensitive areas.

"The romance section of the library was always a favorite of mine. I never thought that I would be able to experience so much pleasure myself, though. Or give it to someone else." Bella replied innocently, Alice groaned again in frustration, as the young shifter pressed her breasts against the exposed skin of Alice's own.

The pixie let out a shaky hiss from between her teeth, her head falling back with another moan. Bella smiled in triumph, teasing Alice a few more moments before reaching to grasp the base of Alice's neck and pull her down for a sweltering kiss.

It took all of two seconds before Alice had their positions reversed so that Bella's back was now back on the bed, Alice's hands running over Bella's body urgently even as she continued her prior actions. Alice growled against Bella's mouth, the sound sending vibrations over Bella's sensitive lips. Alice pulled away, her eyes now onyx with desire before she lowered herself into a crouch so that she was level with Bella's breasts.

Bella clenched her thighs at the sensation of Alice's mouth suckling her breast, and Alice ran her hand up Bella's thigh, fingers brushing at her center but not intruding. Alice opened her eyes, glancing to catch Bella's eyes for permission. Face flushed, Bella swallowed heavily before giving a shaky nod. Alice smiled, moving to give attention to her other breast, alternating hands as she did so before running her fingers over Bella's mound gently, reassuringly. Bella let out a breathy sigh and relaxed her legs, parting her thighs to give Alice room to explore.

Alice brought her attention back to her breasts with a particularly firm suckle to her nipple, causing her to gasp. Alice took the opportunity to slide her fingers between Bella's thighs, parting her glistening folds to allow room for her fingers.

"Oh good, God" Alice murmured as could feel the sweet warmth of Bella's slickness. It coated her fingers, making it easier to slide against her sensitive skin. Bella gave a strangled moan when Alice brushed her clit and from there it was game over for her.

Alice expertly circled her thumb against the sensitive bud as she continued her actions to Bella's breasts, working her mate into a desperate frenzy. Only once Bella was bucking her hips against Alice's hand did Alice offer a momentary relief, sliding a finger inside. The resulting moan of pleasure had Alice's head swimming. Alice slid a second finger inside, pumping the digits slowly against her. Bella gave another moan, fingers clenching tightly in Alice's hair, tugging in a silent order; faster.

Alice did as she was bid and soon Bella was bucking her hips against her again, panting and moaning with every shaky breath. Alice glanced down at Bella, smiling to herself at the pleased look on her flushed features. Bella threw her head back with a gasp of pleasure as Alice's fingers brushed a particularly sensitive spot inside and Alice swore she heard Bella gasp her name.

Suddenly, it was if Alice would have given anything to make Bella call out her name; determined to make this possibility a reality, Alice gently withdrew her fingers and kneeled on her knees in front of Bella. Panting, Bella gave Alice a look of particularly annoyed confusion and Alice grinned at her, and slid down her body, planting soft kisses down her soft body.

"What…?" Bella was about to question but stopped with a gasp of surprised pleasure as Alice's mouth replaced where her fingers had previously played, tongue licking and delving at her slick folds. Bella moaned, long and low as she sank back on her back, her head falling between her soft pillows in pure submission.

Alice moaned lightly the sound at the taste and musky smell of her. Alice didn't think she'd ever tasted anything as sweet as Bella seemed just then. Alice's fingers tightened against Bella's skin, keeping her legs parted to make room as she delved between Bella's thighs, feeling as though she could stay here forever, pleasing Bella.

Alice lost track of time, enjoying the soft sounds and erotic movements she continuously drew from her mate.

"Oh God, Alice… I think… I-I" Bella finally breathed out and let out a startled gasp and Alice's mouth was filled with the payoff for her hard work. Alice, lapped at her, licking her clean before lifting her head, chuckling to herself at the dazed expression on Bella's flushed features; she lay on the satin sheets, panting, eyes glazed with satisfaction as she stared up at the ceiling of her room. Alice grinned.

Bella finally came back to her senses, and glanced at Alice then, lifting a brow at her smirk before giving Alice a saucy grin of her own, beckoning Alice to come closer. Alice obeyed, climbing out of between her legs, and laying on her side beside Bella, darkened eyes twinkling with pure triumph before Bella leaned up to kiss her.

This kiss was slower, gentler, than the others had been; a leisurely exploration of each other, taking time to linger and taste. Their hands roamed, sloping over each other unhurriedly until Bella accidently brushed against Alice's own soaking core. Their eyes met.

"Come here," Bella murmured, gently urging Alice to lay back as they switched positions. Alice gazed at her a few moments more, still barely able to believe that this was happening, that it was real. But it was, and she wasn't about to hesitate; Alice moved so that Bella was above her, their eyes locked in mutual excited nervousness.

Alice wrapped her arms around Bella's neck, kissing the tip of her nose with a reassuring smile before trailing kisses over Bella's cheeks, mouth, neck, all while making room for Bella to settle between her thighs. Bella steadied herself above Alice on her elbows, carefully positioning her hips level to Alice's, inhaling sharply as she could feel Alice's wetness against her.

Alice continued her lazy trail of kisses down Bella's neck, running her hand through her hair and down Bella's shoulder-blades, helping Bella relax even as she subtly ground her hips against Bella. After a few moments of relentless teasing, Bella moaned, grasping a handful of Alice's dark hair to pull Alice away from her neck to lock eyes. It was only when their eyes met, brown locking to black, that Alice shifted her hips against Bella in a silent plea that Bella groaned, low and deep. Bella bit down on her lip hard, and angled her hips so that her's and Alice's sexes were fully touching. Bella moved her hands down to grip the sheets in an effort to steady herself. With that, Bella moved her hips forward.

"Fuck!" Alice gasped out, and gripped at the sheets as their clits moved against each other.

The love-making of these two star-crossed lovers was unhurried, a slow and tender tangling of bodies that felt as comfortable as mates who have known each other for an eternity and further; it was as though they knew each other in a way that went deeper than physical, a soul-felt connection that was beautifully ancient.

Eventually though, the urgency caused by that deep ache began to take hold and their movements became faster, harder, the sounds of their mixed moans and flesh against flesh filling the peacefulness of the night's air. Alice's nails gently ran the length of Bella's back, clenching at Bella's shoulder-blades as she met her movement for movement. Bella growled against Alice's lips, her tongue plundering her mouth as their movements became that much more hurried.

"Bella, I'm so close" Alice moaned out, feeling a new sensation filling her lower stomach. Alice moved her hands from Bella, gripping the nearby pillow tightly

"…Me too… " Bella moaned back.

Suddenly, Alice gasped against Bella's mouth, a long loud moan escaping her lips as she came with surprising force, her body convulsing as wave after wave of ecstasy. Bella came undone on top of Alice, riding out her own orgasm, watching Alice come undone beneath her.

With that action, a warm action filled Bella from head to toe, who gasped at the sensation. Alice's eyes shot to Bella's, and watched as the custom brown color slowly began to morph, changing to a beautiful shade of jade. Bella rolled off of Alice, and pulled her close against her, turned so that they were facing each other and intertwined.

"Are you okay?" Alice murmured as she looked over Bella, seeing the faint bruises all over her body.

"I… I'm much better than just okay, I'm perfect." Bella breathed lightly.

Alice sighed contently, spooning her bare body against Bella's and wrapping the sheets around them. Alice gave a hum of satisfaction as she kissed Bella's lips softly, now golden eyes hazy with pleasure; her fingers trailed lazily through Bella's chestnut tresses, brushing the sweaty strands away from Bella's eyes.

"Alice, this the best night of my life so far. I love you" Bella smiled as she made eye contact with Alice.

"I love you too, Bella. And it appears it worked. Your eyes are jade." Alice smiled, as they intertwined fingers.

" Do you like the color?" Bella questioned with a raised eyebrow.

" I love it, just like I love everything about you, Bella." Alice smiled as Bella nodded and closed her eyes, the exhaustion from their lovemaking finally catching up to her "Sleep well, my love."
