"This song reminds me of you." Rosalie said as she lay against Bella's naked body with her head nestled against Bella's chest. They had ignored the others on the way home from the airport and went straight to Rosalie's bedroom as soon as they made it home leaving the others to sort themselves out.
"What song?"Bella asked as she ran her hand up and down Rosalie's back. They had wasted no time getting out of their clothes and taking advantage of the privacy they lacked for the last few days.
Rosalie sat up and reached for her phone restarting the song."This one"
"Who sings that?" Bella asked when the song was over.
Rosalie turned the music back down." It's Roberta Flack. The song is called The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face."
"I don't think I've heard it before but I understand why you would think of me when you heard it because I feel the exact same way. The first times I laid eyes on you my world became so much better."
Rosalie leaned up and kissed Bella's chin. "You are my world sweetheart."
Bella pulled Rosalie on top of her." As you are mine."
Rosalie leaned in for a heated kiss." Can we just stay here for the rest of the day and forget about everything else?"
Bella gave her a smile. "I wish, but no. We have to find out what's going on."
"We are going away together when this is over. Just the two of us." Rosalie grumbled.
Bella kissed Rosalie on the forehead. "You tell me where and when and I will move heaven and earth to make it happen."
Rosalie snuggled down onto Bella taking in their mixed scent." I love you."
"I love you to." Bella promised.
When Bella's stomach rumbled Rosalie sighed. "I have been neglecting your needs again. Why don't we shower and get you some food. Do you want human food or do you want to hunt?"
Bella thought about it."I would like to meet with the wolves so why don't we shower and drive out there and I'll go hunting with them unless you need to hunt?"
"No,drinking your blood has made me not feel the need to. I only had a little bit the first time so maybe that's why I needed to after that."
"Do you think you could live off my blood?" Bella asked.
"I think I could. I feel a lot more energized after drinking your blood than I ever did drinking animal blood. The craving has yet to come back whereas when I drink animal blood I can usually feel some of the burn come back within hours."
Bella ran her hand through Rosalie's hair. "Is it something you would want to do again?"
Rosalie thought about it for minute. "I think I would. I don't know how it feels for you exactly but it added another level of intimacy to our love making. I could feel all your emotions through your blood. It wasn't hearing words, I could actually feel what you were feeling and it was, I mean there are no words for the emotions I experienced through the bite."
Bella kissed her forehead. "I think I like it not only because it feels incredible but because I like the connection between us.It's beyond erotic knowing my life essence is flowing through you body."
"So can we do it again?" Rosalie asked.
"I will be more than happy for us to do it again but not right now because we have things to do." Bella told her.
Rosalie groaned as she got up. "Let's get you clean so you can look like the fearsome tiger you are."
Bella rolled her eyes. "You're the fearsome one in this relationship. I'm a kitten compared to you."
Rosalie pulled Bella towards the bathroom. "You're my kitten but to everyone else you are a ferocious killing machine that will one day save the world."
Bella growled playfully. "Is that ferocious enough?"
Standing under the water Rosalie laughed." I think you need a little more practice dear."
Grabbing the body wash and loofah Bella began scrubbing Rosalie's body clean. Kneeling in front of her she playfully stroked Rosalie's already erect shaft.
Looking down at Bella kneeing before her with her throbbing member in her hand Rosalie groaned. "Bella if you continue doing that we will not make it out of the house today."
Bella gave her a smirk. "Well then I guess I'll have to be quick."
Rosalie's eyes went wide and her breath caught as she watched Bella lean forward to take Rosalie in her mouth. Even though times had changed she still had somewhat prudish views when it came to sexual acts and this one was one she wasn't sure she would be comfortable with. How wrong had she been, she thought as she felt Bella take even more of her erection into her mouth while she stroked Rosalie with her hand.
Rosalie felt her orgasm coming close and pulled at Bella. Bella gave her a confused look. "Bella I'm close. You should stop."
Bella gave her a reassuring smile and took her back into her mouth redoubling her efforts. Rosalie wanted to watch more than anything but as the shocks overtook her body she leaned her head back and shut her eyes as wave after wave pleasure rolled through her. When they subsided her legs gave out on her as she slid into Bella's arms.
Bella gave Rosalie a kiss on her cheek." You ok?"
Rosalie chuckled. "I'm more than ok. Thank you. You didn't have to do that."
Bella hugged her closer. "I know but I like pleasing you and that's just another way I get to. I didn't mind it at all and if you wanted to try it again I'm more than willing."
Rosalie untangled from Bella's hold and stood."I would like that very much and I certainly wouldn't mind returning the favor."
Bella picked the loofah back up and started washing Rosalie's body again. "We will but not right now. We have things to do and people to see."
Rosalie huffed. "I never realized how much I hated that saying until this very moment."
Bella handed Rosalie the loofah. "I know but just keep reminding yourself of that vacation. You, me,nothing but time, privacy, and each other."
Rosalie finished cleaning Bella's body. "I think in the coming days that will be the only thing that will keep me going."
Turning off the shower Bella took the towel Rosalie handed her. "Me too Rose, me too."
Rosalie toweled off and made her way into her bedroom and began looking through Bella's suitcase." You're going to have to start leaving some clothes here."
Bella finished brushing her teeth and walked into the bedroom. "I have plenty of clothes here. Why would I need to bring more?"
Rosalie put her bra and underwear on then slipped one of Bella's shirts over her head. "Because you are quickly running out."
Bella laughed. "Maybe if you stopped stealing my things I would have plenty of clothing."
Rosalie held her hand against her chest as if offended. "Bella you told me that because I was your imprint everything you own is also mine. Are you saying that beautiful speech you gave me was a lie."
Bella finished putting her clothes on. "I'm not answering that because no matter what I say it will backfire."
"The experts were wrong." Rosalie gave a confused Bella a kiss on the cheek. "Wild tigers can be trained."
Bella growled and pounced on Rosalie's back wrapping her arms around Rosalie's neck and legs around Rosalie's hips." You think you can tame this tiger?"
Rosalie grabbed Bella's ankles holding Bella more securely to her body. "I already have my dear. Now hang on it's my turn to give you a ride."
"Well technically I have ridden you many times." Bella said chuckling.
"Just hang on." Rosalie grumbled opening her door and giving Bella piggy back ride down the stairs.
"We are giving piggy back rides now?! I'm next." Alice exclaimed excitedly as Rosalie and Bella joined the group minus Carlisle,who they assumed was at work.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "No one is giving piggy back rides."
"Then why is Bella getting one?" Alice asked as Rosalie set Bella on the couch.
"Just because my mate and I do things does not mean that you also get to do them with us. There are things called boundaries Alice." Rosalie told her taking a seat next to Bella.
"Bella's my best friend we have few boundaries and I think piggy back rides don't cross any of them I mean we have rode her tiger before." Alice said sitting on the other side of Bella hugging Bella's arm causing Rosalie to growl.
"Anyway." Jasper said hoping to take attention off of Alice."I assume you wanted to talk to us."
"Yes, we are going to visit with the wolves but wished to ask if you would be willing to train with them?" Bella asked.
"Fuck yeah!! I would love to beat on some wolves." Emmett said pumping his fist in the air.
"Emmett language!" Esme scolded.
Rosalie glared at Emmett. "No one is going to be fighting the wolves. Bella and I want them to watch us in our training to learn how to fight better against vampires. Most of them have never seen our kind outside of their interactions with me."
"Oh come on. That's no fun." Emmett whined."You were no fun before but since you became Mary Magdalene to the shifter Jesus you have gotten worse."
"As Rosalie said the wolves have little to no knowledge of vampires and we would like them to come and observe only." Bella told them.
"You plan on using the wolves in the fight?" Peter asked intrigued.
"As a last resort as many are still very young. I do however feel they need to know how to fight to defend their lands as Edward knows of their existence. He will want every advantage he can." Bella explained.
"You wish to fight them in Forks?" Jasper asked surprised that Bella would put the town in danger.
"Where we fight will depend on the information we can get on the army's location and exactly what it consists of. Edward knows this area so it would be not in our favor to fight around here. That however does not change my decision to have the wolves train." Bella explained.
Jasper nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. I would be fine helping the wolves train. When do you want to start?"
"I'm not sure how long we will be with them today. Bella plans to go hunting with them and I doubt we will be able to just have a quick chat with the elders. They will probably want Bella to stick around for some activities. I think the chief mentioned giving us a tour of the reservation." Rosalie told them.
"Wait you're going hunting with the wolves? Like in your tiger form,them in their wolf forms?" Seeing Bella nod Emmett asked." Is Rosalie going hunting with you too?"
"If she wants to she can but if not she can hang out at the reservation with the tribe members. We will be able to communicate the whole time so it will be fine either way." Bella said.
Emmett threw both his hands up in frustration. "This is unbelievable. Rosalie gets everything good in life. So let me get this straight. Rosalie can either go hunting with the wolves and Bella or hang around the reservation as a welcome guest."
"There are some perks being the imprint to the great white tiger." Rosalie told him with a smirk.
"Bella please can I go with you to the reservation? Or if not to the reservation then can I go hunting with you and the wolves?" Emmett begged.
"Not today but I can ask them if it would be alright for you to go next time. I'm sure if you offered to take them to hunt in your territory it would be a great incentive to say yes." Bella said.
Emmett jumped up and pulled Bella into a big hug. "Bella bear you're the best."
Rosalie sighed when she felt all eyes on her waiting to see her reaction to the hug. She didn't feel the need to claim her mate like she usually did. Mostly she felt annoyance that Emmett was touching Bella. Drinking Bella's blood and feeling Bella's side of the bond put away any fears she had that Bella was not as committed to her as she was to Bella but that didn't mean it wasn't annoying.
As the annoyance got to be to much Rosalie sighed and stood from the couch enjoying the way everyone seemed to be holding their breath waiting for whatever punishment she was going to give Emmett.
Grabbing the back of his collar she picked him up." Tell her how great she is from across the room."
Emmett struggled in her hold. "Put me down Rosalie. Just because you got in a few cheap shots last time doesn't mean I'm scared of you."
Rosalie raised her eyebrow at Emmett as he wiggled in her hold. "A few cheap shots?"
"Yeah, I just wasn't ready. I think we should have a rematch." Emmett said shifting his clothes back in place as Rosalie finally set him down.
Jasper sighed and shook his head."This isn't going to end well."
"Bella how much time do we have?" Rosalie asked Bella.
"They don't know we are coming but I would like to leave soon." Bella told her.
"Plenty of time to teach Emmett how foolish he is." Rosalie said waking outside to the front lawn all of the others following behind her.
Emmett began warming up. He stopped and gave Rosalie a wink. "Don't worry I won't embarrass you to badly in front of your mate. Jasper call it."
Jasper shook his head. This was going to be a mess. No matter who won. "Ready, set, FIGHT."
Emmett charged at Rosalie who simply stepped to the side and put out her leg causing Emmett to fall face first into the ground. He growled and charged again this time Rosalie grabbed one of his arms,ripped it off and threw it to Bella making her laugh.
"I can still beat you with one arm,this isn't over." Emmett yelled.
"I'll give you this one chance to bow out Emmett. After that I'm having no mercy. So we can end it now if you want." Rosalie offered.
"NEVER!!" Emmett screamed to Rosalie swinging his remaining arm trying to punch her.
Rosalie simply swatted his arm away causing him to spin around leaving an opening for Rosalie to kick him in the butt propelling his body facedown on the ground. He quickly scrambled up the best he could and regrouped, deciding to try kicking Rosalie instead.
She simply grabbed his leg and tore it off asking Bella. "Isn't this the one you took also?"
"Yes that's the leg I took the moment I fell in love with you." Bella replied chuckling.
Rosalie ignored Emmett's screaming and gave Bella a smile. "Should we just keep it then as a symbol of our love."
"Oh my god that is so cute." Alice gushed.
"Keeping my leg is not cute Alice!! Give it back Rosalie." Emmett said from his spot on the ground. No one made a move to help him as Bella was the one with his arm and if Rosalie did indeed plan on keeping his leg no one was willing to fight her for it.
"But it so is. Your leg is a part of their love story. I almost want them keep it as a reminder." Alice told him.
"I actually kind of think it's romantic that Rosalie took the same leg that Bella did and offered it to her as a symbol of their love. "Charlotte said giving Peter an angry look."Rosalie has only been mated a few weeks and she is making grand gestures. How come you have never done something like this for me?"
"You want me to rip off Emmett's leg and give it to you?" Peter asked confused.
"No Peter but would it really kill you to make an effort? I mean you don't even get me flowers." Charlotte told him.
"But you don't like flowers." Peter said feeling helpless.
"So how about Emmett getting his body parts back?"Jasper asked trying desperately to get everyone's attention off of romantic gestures. Peter was the focus now but he had no doubt Alice had plenty to say on the topic.
Rosalie sighed tossing Emmett his leg back. "We probably will need the brute if not for this fight,at least one in the future."
Bella waked up to him and handed him his arm."Emmett is definitely a great guy to have in your corner."
Emmett smiled, Bella's words soothing some of his embarrassment. "I'm always ready to fight on your side Bella bear."
"And you will always be welcome." Bella told him giving him a pat on the back.
"I'm on your side to Bella. Don't forget." Alice said.
"How could I forget my number one cheerleader? The very person who brings happiness to my day." Bella asked.
Alice ran to Bella and gave her a big hug."You're the best Bella!"
Rosalie rolled her eyes and gave Alice a moment to hug Bella before she grabbed Alice and tossed her to Jasper who gave her a grateful smile for not throwing her through the trees.
"As much fun as this has been Bella and I have things to do. We will see you guys later." Rosalie said holding her hand out for Bella who took it right away.
"Hey Bella can we hang out tonight when you get back? We haven't really gotten to spend much time together since the sleepover?" Alice asked.
Rosalie started to protest but Bella cut her off. "That would be fine Alice. Why don't you figure out something we can do but make sure Emmett gets his time to."
Alice high-fived the now standing with his limbs reattached Emmett. "Yes!!We are going to have so much fun."
Rosalie rolled her eyes and tugged Bella toward her car before they could be talked into anything else. "Why do you indulge them so?"
"Because they are harmless and even if you won't admit you do love them." Bella told her.
"Debatable." Rosalie said holding Bella's car door open and giving her a kiss before Bella got in and she closed the door.
Walking towards her side of the car she heard Alice cooing them and decided it was best to leave before they got caught back up in an argument about romantic gestures. It wasn't her fault she and her mate loved each other so much that they couldn't help but show it every chance they got.
