TANYA POV

It felt like heaven having my mate in my arms as she slept. I couldn't help but stare at her all night long and thinking of the future we had together. There were a million things I wanted to do once we moved in together from what color the walls would be to how big of a bed we would get. I smiled at that thought because I knew that she was finally accepting our bond and soon I would claim her knowing this my beast started to purr at the bliss that was to come. Pushing away such thoughts I looked down at my mate as she snuggled deeper into me. The alarm started going off and I was sad when I heard her heartbeat starting to pick up I just wanted to hold her forever, keep her safe and make sure nothing ever happened to her again.

"Good morning beautiful" I whispered in her ear. I could feel the shiver go through her body and I felt myself starting to smirk loving the reaction only I could cause.

"Good morning Tanya, what time is it?"

"Its 7 o´clock".

She looked in my eyes and started to get up I expected her to go through her morning routine when suddenly she fell in my lap and started kissing me. She knew what she was doing when she ground her body more into mine as our kiss started heating up and I could feel her hardening nipples. My arms slithered down her waist and grabbed her luscious ass and started to give it a squeeze. I could hear her moan and I felt my control starting to slip away, oh how I wanted to give in but this wasn't the time or place not with the possibility of Tala bursting in on us.

"Bella we need to stop, I promise I will have you soon but not now. You need to get ready for school and get Tala ready" I said with regret in my voice.

She slid off my lap and gave me a smirk, I could see it plain and clearly now that this was her intention all along. Getting me all fired up and just leave. If that is how she wants to play it, bring it on, she'll lose and I will get her under me begging me to take her. Smirking I shook my head at my mate leaving her to get ready on her own I didn't want t tempt myself after her little stunt, no matter how sexy it was.

Heading down stairs I check on Tala who was sitting at the table wiping sleepys out of her eyes half dressed in a t-shirt, purple tights and an orange Tutu. The girl was adorable but then again when wasn't she adorable? giving her a small wave I grabbed her a bowl and some cereal before taking out the eggs and a pan I wanted to make Bella some breakfast before I left. Whipping up an omelet I covered it and put it in the microwave for later and gave Tala a glass of juice before heading out.

"I'm going home to change, I'll see you in class" I called before lcoking the door on my way out. I had to get ready for the day too and check in with y family after the emotional battles of the last few days.

Running home I tried to shake off the My coven gave me a big smile when I ran trough the door and asking me how my night was. I just smiled back and said it was amazing and that I needed to get ready for school.

When I got to the school I started moving a desk up to my desk so Bella could sit with me, I didn't want her near that girl anymore, I couldn't stop her from looking at my mate but I could do everything in my power to stop her from talking and sit near my Bella.

People started to arrive to the classroom and I could see that Melanie was looking for bella. I gave her my best glare and she moved to her spot.

Suddenly bella walked in class and I felt my jaw drop to the floor. She was wearing a short skirt with a shirt that was glued to her body, her hair was in a ponytail and her glasses was on.

Did she actually think that I was going to concentrate on anything but her now?

I will admit she is good, but she won't get away with it.

I could hear some of the boys whispering about Bella and how hot she looked. I felt myself starting to growl but swallowed it before it could startle anyone I couldn't draw attention to myself but I could control this class. No matter what she thought she was going to sit with me and I will play with her when I want.

"Do you think that you will win this game my love?" I said to her.

"What are you talking about?" she asked me in an innocent voice but her eyes betrayed her. I could see the challenge in them, oh I loved a challenge.

I started to teach the lesson and I got a text on my phone surprised I continued lecturing till I figured we were at a good point to stop so I could check my phone. I asked everyone to read chapter 2 and start writing their own thoughts on the subject. I knew how long the chapter was and with how detailed I wanted their responses or thoughts on paper to be I would have a while before they started getting antsy. Walking back to my desk I sat down and checked my phone thinking it was Irina or Kate wanting something when to my surprise it was my Bella and she had made a rather dirty play.

I don't have any underwear on me – B

I couldn't think anymore any possible thought process died and the gears in my head had come to a screeching halt so I just sat in my chair turned on. All I could think about was that my mate was naked under her skirt. There is no way she would go to lunch with her friends, not now. Oh no, she will stay her and get what is coming to her because there was no way you could play with this fire and not get burned. My Bella is so beautiful and I can't wait till I have her wrapped around me.

Do you want me to lose control right here and now? You will stay behind in the lunch break and you will see what it does to me – T

I heard her chuckle at my message and I turned around and saw her looking at me and she gave me a wink. I felt my phone vibrate one more time knowing full well who it was and I had to keep my composure as I dared to open it.

I can't love, have a parent conference at Tala´s school ;-) –B

This was her plan all along, I could see it now. She would get me all worked up again and leave just like she had this morning. My beast is all over the place now. Demanding me to take her, to punish her, to make her see who's in charge. I feel myself losing more and more control over my beast. I needed to get a grip or give in before I tackled my mate from across the room and took her on the table in front of everyone here.

"Bella could you join me in the hallway please?" I asked knowing she would come even if I hadn't asked.

She got up and started to walk out I didn't let her get far before I caught up to her. There was no way I was letting her get away not after all the false starts today. I dragged her to the bathroom and wasting no time as I lifted her up to the sink. I spread her legs and reached under her impossibly short skirt groaning when I felt her wetness. She moaned when my fingers made contact with her clit and I lost all my control. Her delicious scent was filling the room and the warmth of her around my fingers hand unconsciously drawing circles inside her intoxicating warmth. I started to fuck her loving the moans and gasps falling from her lips picking up the pace I could feel her walls contracting around my fingers. There was no way she would last long but this is not how it was supposed to happen. I tried to get some kind of control but my beast hissed and my sensitive nose took in her heady scent making it impossible to stop myself so I picked up my pace her till she came, unable to do anything but cry my name.

I slowly brought her down from her high before pulling my fingers out slightly ashamed and embarrassed at my lack of control.

"I am sorry Bella, please forgive me. I couldn't control my self anymore" I looked in her eyes and all I could see was love.

"Make it up to me tonight and its okay." She gave me a kiss and started to walk out of the bathroom.

I was shocked by her sudden exit but I would make it up to her that was for sure. when I left the bathroom I saw my mate leaving school grounds. I felt so guilty for doing this to her, I know she was testing my self control but this is not how I wanted it to happen. I wanted to take her out on a date, show her how much I love her, and that she will always be my number one.

I had too many thoughts whizzing around my head to think of just one way to make her feel loved and I had to figure out how I was going to make it up to her tonight.

I knew the best way to start it would be to get help because what better way to get everything done than with a little help from my sisters? I started making phone calls to set everything up I wanted things to go smoothly so it was best I tell them now while we still had time. First I called Irina to get her to go to the store an buy some lights and candles, to set the mood of course, then I asked her to buy some food so I could make Bella an amazing dinner and after that I asked her to send Bella a text to hang out to keep my mate distracted. She happily agreed to my plan making my day that much easier and my plans for Bella all the sweeter.

I knew Bella was in a meeting with Kate at Tala's school so I texted her to ask bella if she could take Tala for tonight. When I got the answer it really started to piss me off, Kate should know better than to make such "provocative" comments, anything that has to do with Bella would set me off.

Yes I will take the princess, but I also want to have fun with bella –K

I have to have a talk with her soon because there was no way in hell I was sharing my mate, my days of threesomes and other sexual adventures was over I was a one woman kind of girl now. Sadly before I could respond that damned human Melanie came out of nowhere looking confused but for some reason when she saw me she got the bright idea to come talk to me. Did this girl have no self preservation?

"Miss Denali, have you seen Bella? I need to talk to her but I can't find her" that stupid human girl asked me. Why can't she just leave my mate alone? I don't want her anywhere near my Bella, not after I found out that she got a taste of her.

"She is not here" I said to her with a look that could kill.

"Do you know where she is?" was this human deaf?

"At her daughters school"

"Oh, then I'll just wait until she gets back" she said with a smile. I wanted to rip her to pieces but I promised Bella that Melanie could live.. that is if she can behave her self.

"You do know that Bella is off the market for you?" I don't like the look that Melanie has in her eyes.

"She didn't say anything this weekend so no But I will take my chances and see" I wanted to slap her so good. Is she completely stupid? Does she really think that she will get Bella?

"You don't have a chance with her" I said with venom dripping out of my mouth. Just the thought of her in bed with my mate got my beast thrashing around in its cage to free it self.

She gave me with a knowing look and I could see that she took the challenge. She will not get in my way when it comes to keeping Bella. When she turned around and started to walk away I wanted to go after her and dispose her but suddenly Bella was standing there and I felt myself getting lost in all that she is.

Melanie went to Bella and started to talk to her, I wanted so much to go up to them to make sure that she kept her hands to herself but I needed to trust my mate that she could handle it.

"Bella I am really like you, will you please go on a date with me?" I growled under my breath when that thing said that to my mate. Who does she think she is?!

"I am sorry Melanie, I don't feel that way for you My heart belongs to another woman and I can't see myself with anyone else but her" my beast jumped for joy at that moment.

I saw her walking towards me with a smile on her face, suddenly Melanie grabbed my mate and turned her around and kissed her. she kissed my mate. she kissed my mate. SHE KISSED MY MATE!

I reacted on instinct and had her against the wall before she could blink. The human was terrified and shocked trapped between the two emotions her body was too shocked for her puny human brain to comprehend what had happened. I didn't care that I was scaring her she had not only touched my mate without her consent but she kissed her right in front of me and I was going to make sure that didn't happen again.

"Do not touch her, she already said No and You will respect her wishes or I will get you thrown out of this class and this college before you can blink. Is that clear?" I was trying everything in my power not to kill her. How dare she touch bella anymore than she already has, and especially when Bella said no!

I let her go and backed away not daring turn my back on this filth. I grabbed Bellas hands and started walking out of the classroom I needed to get Bella away from that human as fast as possible before I lost control and did something we would all regret but that damned human needed to learn a thing or two about self control. Bella followed her hand safely in mine I could feel the worry and anxiety rolling off her even as she made small circles in the top of my hand with her thumb. Her warmth soothed my beast but didn't make it go back in its cage but that's why I was leaving, the sooner I got us out of there the safer everyone would be.

"Are you okay Tanya?" I could hear the insecurities in her voice and that she was scared that I was going to snap at any minute now. Who could blame her, I was livid.

"I am okay, just mad but having you here with me helps me calm down, How did it go in your meeting? Is all well with little Tala and the kindergarten?" I just wanted to concentrate on something else and Bella easily caught on smiling softly.

"Yeah, she's smart and has a lot of fun with Kate and the other children, She's made so many friends and is very curious in class, She is very smart for her age" she said proud of her little girl. I just smiled and gave her hand a squeeze.

"Bella is it okay for Kate to take Tala for tonight?" I asked while getting in my car. She stopped and looked at me, I couldn't read her but I hoped she said yes.

"Why would Kate take Tala?"

"Because I wanted to make everything up to you tonight, but she can be there if that is better for you" I hope I didn't cross a line with my mate now. I know I have no right to make arrangement for her daughter but I was hoping for some privacy for our date.

"This time it is okay, but next time tell me before you do something that involves Tala" I could hear the disapproving tone and it was obvious that she didn't like it and I felt bad. Maybe one day she will trust us I could only do what I could to earn it.

It was a quiet drive to my house too many things had happened in such a short time I was a little worried but confident that I would make Bella smile again before the night was through. Kate took Tala home so we didn't have to pick her up and Kate would look after her so she would be safe and of course happy Kate loved that little angel so much they were practically Aunt and niece already. I could see the sun starting to set and I wonder how Tala would take our skin in the sun. she knew nothing about vampires so I hope its not a big deal with her.

I could her laughter when we drove in the road leading to our house. I wasn't surprised to see Tala outside playing with Kate they were inseparable. When little Tala saw us she started to run towards the car Kate swooped in and picked her up so she wouldn't get hurt making her laugh as she tickled her. Bella started to go out the car and take Tala missing her little girl after a day of school. It was so sweet to look at those two if I were human I would get cavities they were so sweet! I could really see the love that those two shared and it brought joy to everyones heart that they would be joining our family.

"Mommy can we go and swim in their pool?"

"You have to ask Tanya, Kate, and Irina if that is okay with them it's their house and their pool"

Tala looked at us with her big blue eyes and a little pout.

"Can we please swim?"

"Yes" was said from everyone we all looked at each other and laughed at how we all said it in sync.

We all went in the house to change to bikinis and get towles before we took a walk to the pool house. When we arrived Tala was by the pool looking at the giant pool before her she had a bathing suit with Hello Kitty on them, she looked adorable as always. I got in the water before Tala so I could catch her, I did not trust her to jump in the pool alone without anyone of us in there before. She screamed when she jumped in making a good sized splash from all the momentum, when she came up for air she was laughing so hard.

"Are you having fun princess?"

"YEEEEES, more Tanya more!" she squealed out.

I picked her up and put her on the pool floor so she could jump high with my help. She spring on her tiny legs and jumped in my arms again and laughed all the time splashing me till I heard the door close. Looking up I expected to see the others but what I saw made me growl and my beast thrash in its cage. for there across the way was Kate standing far too close to Bella checking her out big time. Knowing there would be trouble I carried Tala over to Irina so that she could play with Tala and keep her distracted till I handled my sister. climbing out of the pool I stalked toward them the predator in me coming out more now that my mate was being eyed by a fellow vampire.

"Kate get your eyes of my mates body now" I said with a growl barring my fangs.

"Aw come on Tanya, you know I want her too, just let me play with you one time" she smirked at Bella and I SAWRED!
