Bella Noir: Chapter Eight

After she was hidden behind closed doors she collapsed with a whimper. What was wrong with her pulling a stunt like that. Her nether regions were throbbing intensely and she tried to ignore it as she looked around the library. Surely there was a book that could help her figure out why her body was behaving like this.

The library was very large, but Bella had already discovered that it never failed to rearrange itself to fit her needs. Today was no different. Soon she was curled up on a couch blushing as she discovered just what had been going on with her. It was really the realization that the feeling was arousal but more like the books many positions to have sex. She had really only been taught the basics of sex and, after her encounter with Danton and the deed, she had no idea that it could be...pleasurable.

The more she read the more fascinated she got. Several books told her things about her body that she hadn't noticed before.

Bella was so enthralled by her reading that she failed to notice a shadow form over her.

Alexander had entered the library quietly and slightly ashamed of his anger earlier. Although he was almost to delighted about her reaction to his behavior and harsh words. He was shocked to find Bella pouring over a Kama Sutra book, a confused expression on her face that made him want to kiss her.

"Good evening Bella." With a small shriek she whirled around.

"G-good evening Alexander." Bella's words stuttered slightly as she blushed, knowing that he had caught her being bad for the second time that day.

He laughed at her then. Bella felt her temper rise as well as her chin, she hated being laughed at. She was just about to say something when he took the book from her and closed it.

"Curiosity is natural, you have no reason to be ashamed. Before Danton you had never laid with a man, so its only natural that you want to discover all that you can. However, might I suggest you try to experience it first?"

Even though Bella was blushing she couldn't resist the challenge. "Is that an offer."

"You can make of it what you like, though surely you wouldn't want to attempt such carnal things with me." He refused to allow himself to sound ashamed and stood statue still as Bella circled him.

He couldn't help but wonder just who was the predator in this situation. Finally she spoke facing him boldly.

"Who better than the person I trust, the only person other than my family to ever make me feel safe and protected?

Who better than my best friend, the one person who never judges me by my outspoken views of the world despite my gender?"

She stepped closer whispering darkly now. "Who better than the person I want, just like you are now and will always lust for even after you become a man again? And of course," She laughed softly her eyes shining with tears as she finally spilled her heat to him.

"Who better than the man I love?"

Alexander sees her tears and wipes them away, gently backing her up against a bookshelf. The purr that came from his throat excited Bella and she couldn't help the moan that escaped her lips, totally unbidden, as Alexander's mouth found the softness of her neck and bare shoulders.

He took his time nipping and licking his rough tongue over her skin making Bella shiver in pleasure. Making his way up to his face he licked her lips with his tongue wishing that he had human lips to kiss her back with. "I love you too Bella."

As Alexander whispered those words to her she was in the process of pulling his shirt from his breeches so that her hands could stroke the soft fur of his back, but her hands did not meet fur, instead they met hot skin containing steel like muscles. Bella gasped and opened her eyes still locked into his embrace. Apparently, he had yet to notice the change as he buried his face in her red hair purring. She smiled at the sound. Somethings just could not change about him, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

"Alex." She grabbed his faced and kissed him with all the passion she felt letting her tongue trace his lips and gasping into his mouth as he grabbed her by her butt and pulled him up to him. His rough tongue starting stroking hers and she moaned again.

Then, suddenly he was gone, leaving Bella to blink in surprise.

"What?" She exclaimed getting angry only to smile as he looked himself over. Gone was the animal-like creature, but to Bella he would always resemble a Beast. He was meant to look like that and it enticed her beyond end. The roguish dark hair that fell around his shoulders. And dark brown eyes that held such secrets. The lips that she could still feel one her skin. It was enough to drive her mad!

She rolled her eyes at him playfully as he counted his fingers out loud his deep husky voice still the same, and still causing that painful want and need to flow through her stomach and to her nether regions. To get his attention she started to undo the braid that her hair was in, letting it fall wild and free around her.

Then, while Alexander started counting his toes she untied her corset letting it fall to the floor. Alexander rushed to a mirror that was across from them, one that she could see herself undressing very slowly in as he touched his face in amazement. She let the bodice of her dress fall from her shoulders strait to her hips leaving her breasts exposed to the cool air as her nipples hardened into soft pink points that ached to be touched.

Just then, Alexander looked at her reflection seeing her state of undress. He growled, striding to her and stilling her hands as he himself pulled her dress the rest of the way off, thankful that she didn't wear bothersome petticoats and undergarments.

She stood before him completely nude, her emerald eyes dark with lust. Bella found that she wasn't even slightly embarrassed. She only let out a soft scream when he scooped her up and took her to his bedroom. Quickly he stripped down and took deep breaths.

"I love you." He whispered to her. "I love you too." With that he crawled into bed with her and showed her everything he knew.

After they were done and as he was reaching for her a second time she giggled as she realized that he was right, experience was much better than books.
