TWO CENTURIES LOVE

Chapter 12: Friends.

The Denali clan was nothing like I imagined. They were open, warm, funny, and they treated me as if they had known me forever instead of a few hours. I was nervous when they first arrived, it wasn't only Tanya that was very pretty; the three sisters were quite beautiful, but neither of the Cullen men seemed to notice that detail. They were all engrossed in conversation with each other, and no flirting ensued from either part. Not even Tanya dared flirt with Edward. She greeted him exactly like she greeted Emmett and Jasper. There was no special difference, or special treatment towards him. She didn't pay any more attention to him than to any other member of either family. That soothed my anxiety and helped me relax in their presence.

I believed Edward when he said she had given up any hope or thought about them being together in bed. But still, I wouldn't blame her if she still wanted to; I mean, it would be awkward for sure, but he was too cute, and too hot for his own good. However, she honestly didn't seem interested in him. As my anxiety disappeared, I managed to make a conversation with Kate, who was kind of a female version of Emmett. She had no filter whatsoever, she loved to always throw innuendo, and she had a cool power. She could shock people with her touch. It was awesome. Emmett kept being shocked because he kept teasing her.

Watching Kate with her power gave me a small epiphany. I was never a very religious person, but I did believe in God. And I believed that one could speak to God whenever one wanted, and not because an institution told you where and when to do it. So, my epiphany consisted in the amusedly realization that God didn't give me a power like that, because he knew I would go around electrocuting people just for being assholes. Instead, he gave me the ability to protect myself and my loved ones (according to the assessment of Eleazar).

Apparently, I was not only a physical shield, but also a mental one, which explained why Edward couldn't read my thoughts, and why Alice was so hysterical when we arrived. She had lost us in her visions. Somehow, when Edward told me to keep changing my decisions to throw Alice of our tail, and not give away our engagement, my mind took it literally and decided to block her. It was awesome, but I had no idea how I had done it. And they all wanted me to repeat it, using Jasper as a weapon.

His favorite weapon was lust and since I wanted to hide in the forest with Edward from the moment I said yes, lust was not a helpful tool to get me to use my shield. What it managed was for him to get blue balls, which served him right.

Edward was amused at that development, and he was happier when I told him I could unleash all that lust that Jazz had sent me. Esme groaned embarrassed, but she was the only one. The rest just laughed at my statement and at Edward's happy face.

After the failed experiments we settled down once again in easy conversation. Emmett and Rose had gone hunting. Carlisle, Esme, Carmen and Eleazar had gone to town to walk in the moonlight and maybe see if they could watch a movie.

Tanya took the opportunity of their departure to approach me. She stood up and walked towards me and asked if I could join her for a hunt. I thought about refusing at first, but I decided I could make the effort to make a friend. She was nice, she had made the effort to be nice, to ask about myself and get to know me, so the least I could do was be reciprocal.

She took down a deer, and a stray big cat, which name eluded me. I took down two deer and considered myself satisfied. I waited for her to speak her mind and reveal the reason she asked me alone on a hunt.

"I wanted to let you know that I have no interest in Edward."

"I noticed." I said with a smile.

"He is hot. But I only went after him because he was news, and the only available Cullen." She looked embarrassed to admit it.

"He is hot." I agreed and she laughed. "He told me about your proposition before you came. I kind of freaked out when I saw a picture of you." She looked surprised. She had to know she was beautiful. "You're beautiful. I didn't understand the circumstances in which it happened. Although I didn't doubt it when he told me he'd never been with anyone."

She shook her head. "I was disappointed at first when he turned me down, but I quickly realized it would have been a mistake. Our families are very close, and it wouldn't have been a good idea to cross the line of friends. He never showed any interest whatsoever. It was all on me. I swear." I knew it had been all on her. Rose had said so, Jasper ratified it, and Edward swore on it. I knew neither of them would ever lie about something like that.

"Thank you, for talking to me about it. You didn't have to." It had been before we had met again, so I really couldn't be angry about anything that happened before me. Still, I appreciated her effort to put any concerns to rest.

"I want to be friends. I didn't want any awkwardness or secrets lingering." I was touched by the gesture. No one had ever done anything like that. With Garrett I had to trust him with time, and I learned to love him like a big brother. Then, with Demetri, the situation sort of forced us into a friendship, even if I was always truthful to him about my heart, he never gave away he was in love with me until years later. The fact that she wanted a clean sheet to start over was a very nice offer.

"I'd like that." I smiled genuinely happy to have made a friend.

She smiled back and we fell into an easy conversation about everything and nothing while we walked at human pace back to the house. We talked about my travelling the world, about meeting Edward again after decades of mourning him, we talked about her life with her sisters, and some inconsequential things. We were friendly, if not friends by the time we reached the house. She was easy to talk to, and not at all intimidating as I made myself believe when I saw her. I was happy with this outcome.

I needed Edward now, and I didn't mind being rude to our guests to get him alone. I was desperate and I still had Jasper's lust shots inside of me. Rose and Emmett came back reeking of sex and I almost whimpered in envy.

Finally, I couldn't wait any longer and I stood up quickly, grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him behind me to a faraway place in the forest where I could have my way with him, and he could have his way with me.

"Eager, aren't we?"

"Don't tease me, mister. I know Jasper affected you too. I just have less shame about saying it than you do."

His grin told me everything I needed to know. He made me weak in the knees and made me want to jump him immediately. But we were not still that far from the house, although they had heard us multiple times before, today I didn't fancy being heard. I wanted to scream his name while he ate me, I wanted him to groan and growl as I put my mouth on his cock. I wanted us to come together while I was riding him, or with me being in all fours, or whatever position we wanted to be. I wanted him to bury deep inside of me, I wanted to feel him for weeks, even if that was not possible for vampires.

Eleazar had said I could open my mental shield, but that would require another type of training. I tried to do it now, I imagined in my head a bubble that I could manipulate at will, extending it and retracting it a few times. One time I imagined the bubble retracting to the back of my head, as if leaving my mind completely open. I imagined myself giving Edward a blowjob while he held my hair in his hands and held me to him. I loved when he did that. When the feeling was so powerful that he didn't dare release me in case I decided to tease him.

In response to my thought, I heard him growl, and next thing I knew I was pushed into a tree and my mouth was being devoured with eagerness.

"Damn woman. I don't know how you did that, and I don't care now, but that's hot. Are you planning on fulfilling that fantasy?" He spoke in a low tone, dragging his teeth and tongue from my neck to my ear. He knew I thought it was sexy and hot as hell when he spoke in my ear.

"I do plan on it."
