Chapter 3 Aro POV

Tuesday, April 5, 2005; still inside the castle in Volterra, Italy

I sit and watch the young beauty next to me as she contemplates my offer. It really is a generous offer for what she is asking of me.

Normally, my brothers and I do not allow humans to leave the castle alive, that know about our world. But if Isabella agrees to my condition, she will be leaving alive, happy and human tonight, and will be able to stay that way until she graduates in about two months.

I must say, that I am hoping that she takes the deal.

It has been a long, lonely century since my companion, Sulpicia, was murdered by those scum Romanians, and my sister, and Marcus' mate, Didymne, as well as Caius' mate, Athenodora, was badly injured while out on a shopping expedition. We made the mistake of only sending lower level guards with them. It is a mistake that has not and will not happen again.

I have always known that Sulpicia was not my mate, but we agreed almost three millennia ago to be each other's companions until one of us found our true mate.

From what I have gathered from Marcus, and from many vampires memories over the millennia's, is that what I am feeling for this young brunette is normal in finding ones mate.

I do not want to let her go, but as it will make her happy, I shall strive to do what she needs.

But I am a vampire, a king at that, after all, and I am a very selfish creature by nature, so I will not be leaving this compromise empty handed.

I am brought out of my thoughts by Isabella's recovery and response.

"So, in order for me to be able to leave here today, human, I have to let you fuck me? Did I get that right?"

She asked.

"Oh no, il mio amore,"

I purr out in her ear, as I lean over and caress the soft porcelain skin of her face.

"When we make love, I would put you in a position of power, that you will never feel like a helpless little girl again," (A/N: Madea's Family Reunion: The Play).

I hear her breath catch and I look down at her just in time to catch her, as her eyes roll back and she almost faints.

"Il mio amore?"

I ask, frantic that something is wrong with her.

"Are you alright?"

I hear her gulp and mutter something under her breath that sounded like,

"Fuck, he is sexy".

But she just nods to me and fans herself, like she got over heated all of a sudden.

"Are you sure that you are alright, il mio amore?"

I ask her, as she still seems flushed.

"Yes, Aro, I am fuckin' peachy."

She purred out and without warning, reached up and grabbed the back of my neck to pull herself up and attacked my lips hungrily. I responded in kind and licked her bottom lip for access to her delicious little mouth, which she eagerly obliged.

After about a minute of wild, greedy kissing, I pulled back from her luscious lips and trailed kisses down her jaw to her ear to allow her time to catch her breath.

When I reached her ear, I nibbled on it slightly, earning a breathy moan from Isabella.

"Il mio amore, what is your answer to my proposition? You must answer out loud."

I ask her, as I lick the outer and inner shell of her small ear, bringing another moan out of her in response.

"Yes! Aro, take me! Please?!"

She panted out, as I continued my ministrations on her ear and neck with my mouth and tongue, as one of my hands were holding her to me and the other was kneading her right breast through her shirt and bra.

I don't waste any more time, as I pick her up bridal style and carry her to my bedroom suite.

*Lemon*

I gently place her down on the red silk sheets and slowly unbutton her white button up shirt. Once I get all of the buttons open, I glide my hands up her arms to her shoulders to take her shirt off. When I take it off, I take time to appreciate the view of la bellezza in front of me.

She is wearing a red lace see through bra that accentuates her luscious curves and her luminous skin tone.

"Bello."

I start placing open mouth kisses along her collar bone, down to her gorgeous, full breast, as I snap open her bra and let it fall to the floor, uncovering and baring her to me.

I take my time devouring each breast, nipping and suckling her nipples into tight peaks, while listening to her moan above me, while playing with and tugging my long hair.

"Aro…"

She moans out, and I bring her face down to me, as I am on my knees in front of her.

I kiss her breathless, as I use my hands and vampire speed to divest myself of my clothes, leaving me completely naked.

I hear her gasp as I stand up in front of her, completely nude, with my hard cock standing at attention right in front of her.

She slides off of the bed a little and squats down, then surprises me as she takes my thick length into her hot little mouth.

"Oh, il mio amore, that feels so good."

I groan out at the feeling of her sucking me off.

She takes more of my length in and relaxes her throat so that she does not choke on it. She uses her tongue to lick up the sides while she sucks.

"Isabella… il mio amore …I'm not going to last long if you keep that up!"

I moan out and she does it again, as well as moans around me, and the sensations that goes through me, makes me explode into her awaiting mouth.

To my surprise, she swallows every drop and even cleans me back up.

I pick her up and once again use my speed, but this time, to divest her of her remaining clothes.

I lay her back down on the bed and climb on top of her. I kiss her from her full, kissable lips, to her full, luscious breast, and spend some more time on each dark pebbled nipple, before using my tongue to make a trail down her stomach to her beautiful, little pink pussy.

I waste no time, as I delve into her slit, nibbling, licking, and suckling on her little bundle of nerves.

I use one hand to hold her down by her hips, as she keeps coming off the bed, and the other hand to stroke her clit and then enter one finger, then two, into her tight channel.

"Oh, fuck, that feels so fuckin' good! Oh Aro…more!"

She yells out.

I add another finger and then go back to nibbling on her clit. I speed up, both my tongue and my fingers, before curling my fingers into a 'come here' motion, that sets off her orgasm.

I don't wait for her to come down from her high, as I crawl up her and enter her, breaking her hymen, in one swift thrust.

"Oh fuck…shit!"

She yelps out and wraps her arms around my neck, and her legs around my waist in a vise grip, holding me to her.

I bury my face in her neck and softly nip at it and purr to calm her down, while staying still to let her get used to my large, thick size.

I have my arms around her shoulders, rubbing soothing circles on them, and I can feel her muscles relaxing…everywhere.

I make a couple of short, tentative thrusts, and get a moan in response. So I take that as my queue that the pain has receded and start a steady rhythm of long, powerful thrusts, but not powerful enough to hurt her human body.

"Il mio amore, you feel so good wrapped around me."

I ground out, as she tightens her inner muscles.

"That's it. Let me feel you, il mio amore."

I say and kiss her pouty lips, as I go deeper inside her.

"AAHH! FUCK!"

She screams out, as I raise up and lift up her legs, putting them on my shoulders, changing the angle, and going even deeper with every thrusts.

"You like that, Mio Amore, Mio bello? Hmm?"

I ask, as I pick up my pace and pound into her even harder.

"Oh yes! That…feels so…fuckin'…good!"

She moans and screams out.

"Cum Isabella. Let me feel you!"

I demand, as I can feel that we are both close.

I reach down and rub her clit, as I pound into her, and I can immediately feel her gush her release all over me, taking me with her.

"AROOO!"

"ISABELLA!"

I roar out, as she too screams my name, spilling my cold seed into her.

I release her legs from my shoulders, and lean down to kiss her, while she comes down from her high.

I roll over, pulling her with me into my side, while we both try to catch our breath.

*End Lemon*

As I lay here holding Il mio sonno di bellezza, I think about how I am going to be able to be away from her for two months, when she goes home to graduate, as I know for sure that she is my true mate.

I must talk to Marcus to confirm this also.

Knock, knock

I am brought out of my thoughts by Demetri knocking outside the main chamber doors.

"Enter."

I say after I make sure il mio amore is covered and not exposed to any prying eyes.

Demetri enters and bows to me before speaking.

"Master, the Cullen's are refusing to leave the castle without Isabella. Masters Caius and Marcus want to know what you want us to do about it?"

I let out a few choice words in Latin about what I think about them, before I calm down by inhaling Isabella's toxic scent of strawberries and Lavender.

"Demetri, go and tell my brothers that I wish to speak with them in my office and then come back here and carry Isabella to them."

I order.

He bows and exits to go carry out my orders.

I raise up and get dressed, then carry on getting Isabella dressed as she remains asleep.

I reach into her jean pocket for her mobile phone and enter my contact information in her phone book and also call it, then I save the information.

I also save her number in my phone as well.

By this time, Demetri is back at the door, waiting for me to hand him my mate. She wakes up shortly, as I lift her up out of the bed.

"Il mio amore, the Cullen's are waiting for you before they leave, and I have an important meeting to get to, so Demetri is going to carry you to them. I put my contact information into your mobile phone and you can call me at any time, day or night. Alright, il mio amore?"

I ask, as I am about to release her to Demetri.

"Yes, Aro."

She replies as she reaches up and softly kisses me goodbye.

"Alright, see you in two months, il mio amore."

I purr to her, as I put her into Demetri's waiting arms.

"Alright, see ya. And Demmi, don't let Fuckward touch me. Give me to either Emmett or Jasper and tell them to hold me and not let Fuckward put his fuckin' hands on me. If Emmett has to drive, then tell him to give me to Jasper and vice versa."

She states, as she goes back to sleep after he tells her that he heard her instructions and leaves the room to go to the lobby and the waiting Cullen's.

I watch them as they depart, then turn the other way towards my office to speak to my brothers.

I enter my office to my waiting brothers, who are both sporting matching smug smirks on their faces.

"Alright brothers, let it out so we can discuss what I need to."

I say and immediately my office is filled with their joyous laughter, as they both know that I will have my hands full with Isabella and her personality.

When they are done, Marcus reaches over and touches me to show me that Isabella is indeed my true mate and that the bond is strong.

"Well, that answers that question. Now all I need to figure out is how I am going to handle being away from her for the next two months."

I ask them in silence.

They each adopt a painful look about their face, as they each know what it feels like to be away from your mate for a long time, from when the three were kidnapped by the Romanians a century ago.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a long, long two months indeed.
