A NEW LOVER
He rushed me back to our rooms and I found a transformation, my bed had been removed and my room was now a sitting room. Obviously, Aro's bed was now my bed.
"Good they've made the change," he said, you don't mind sharing my bed now, do you my dear?" he asked.
No, of course not," I said shyly.
"Now, now, don't be shy, this is your home away from home and I want you to be happy, tell me if you would like to change anything, I arranged for you to have your own bed in case you needed more time but since we've already been intimate, I want you near me; do you object?" he asked.
"No, I will be honored to sleep in your bed," I said hugging him.
"Come into our bedroom then,' he pulled me behind him through the closet and the bathroom.
This room was huge with a four poster bed and comfortable furniture. There were also French doors which opened out on to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden; steps leading down to the garden were on all three sides of the balcony. Beyond the garden, there was a grassy area and beyond that looked like a forest with trees, he watched with satisfaction as I surveyed the scene and then I turned to him, knowing what his expectation was and unhooked my gown so that it dropped to the floor. He in turn removed his robe and almost in the same movement lifted me and laid me on the bed; he then leaned over me and opened up my legs caressing me but I already wanted him to come inside me and he knew it.
"I don't have to stimulate you much," he said as he slid inside me, "Why is that, I wonder?" he asked smiling.
"I don't know why, you mesmerize me somehow, the way you make love to me is so different than Edward but you still take my breath away and I feel impatient for you," I said feeling impatient now.
"Is that a complement, then?" he was determined to make me wait."
"Yes, Aro, please Aro," and I lifted my hips toward him and he pushed deeper making me gasp.
Aro laughed softly and pushed deeper still and I almost screamed but stopped myself. He pushed my legs up and back over me and then pushed himself deeper and deeper until the frenzy began and he finally thrust himself over and over giving me satisfaction.
"Was that pleasant?" he laughed again as he saw how relaxed I now was, "Put you legs down straight and I'll stay inside you while we talk," he said. We now lay together with his legs in between mine.
"This is what Edward does," I said contentedly.
"Good, then we have something in common," he said smiling again. "Again I ask, was that pleasant?" he wanted me to reveal my thoughts.
"It was very pleasant; in fact it was more than pleasant, it was sensational," I smiled my dazzling smile and we kissed.
"Tell me what you love about me, is it the sex or something more?" he asked as he touched my body gently and caused me to shiver, "You are so young with hardly any experience in life or existence."
"It's true, I'm very young especially in comparison to you, even Edward is more than ninety years my senior, but my mother always has said I'm a thirty year old in a teenage body." I said.
"Did you ever have sex with anyone before Edward?" he asked.
"No," I said.
"I can tell your experience is limited," he said.
"Do I disappoint you?" I asked worried.
"No, on the contrary, I revel in your innocence and I want you to stay innocent, at some point you will want to learn new ways to have sex and either Edward or I will teach you but you must not be pushed," he was definite.
I smiled, "What?" he asked.
"I like the way you said 'either Edward or I will teach you', it sounded so natural like it should be that way," I said smiling again.
"Why shouldn't it be that way?" he asked, slightly puzzled.
"I guess it should but having two men teach me sex doesn't seem normal to me; I wasn't brought up this way." I giggled.
"Are you still worried you are adulterous?" he asked with concern.
"Maybe, but I suppose if Edward is in agreement with what I'm doing, I shouldn't worry, he says I worry too much," I said.
"You do worry too much," he reached over and picked up the cell phone from his bedside table.
"Call Edward now and tell him what you are doing at this moment," he admonished.
I hesitated, "I'm afraid to in case he's upset with me or jealous."
Aro dialed the phone and handed it to me, I hoped Edward wouldn't answer but he did.
"Hello, Edward, I love you," I said, thinking it might soften what I had to say.
"Bella, my love, how are you feeling," he asked.
"Good," I answered.
"What are you afraid to tell me?" he said laughing, "Are you with Aro now?"
"Yes, he's making me tell you something, that is I want to tell you what I've done," I tried to tell him and Aro waited patiently, not offering to help me out.
"Was I right, about Aro, is he making you feel good, almost as good as I do,"
I couldn't believe my ears, "Do you know?" I asked in astonishment.
"How do I know what?" he said laughing again.
"Are you going to make me say it?" I said.
"Was your vision correct?" he asked.
"If I say yes will you be angry with me,"
"I'm already angry with you," he said but was still laughing.
I started to say something but Aro deliberately pushed himself further into me and I gasped loudly and he was laughing.
"Why are you angry at me?" I managed to say and Aro pushed again, making me grunt.
"I'm angry at you for worrying and I know what you're doing now because I recognize the sounds you are making and believe it or not, I don't mind," he laughed again.
"You don't mind?" I asked.
"Why should I mind?" he asked still amused.
"Aro is making love to me and you don't mind?" I said slowly and deliberately.
"Are you happy?" he asked.
"I was but now I'm not so sure," I said disgruntled.
"What now, Bella?' he asked impatiently.
"I think you should be angry with me," I said.
"Well I'm not; it didn't take long did it?' he asked.
"He mesmerized me, Edward," I said.
"He's good at that, isn't he, I knew it wouldn't take long."
"You planned this didn't you," I said.
"Somewhat but even Alice didn't know how you would react and in lieu of your recent bad experience, I knew it would be hard for you,"
"You really don't mind sharing me?" I asked shocked.
"I'm giving you a gift, Bella, someone who loves you as much as I and I'm assuming you love him now because he's having sex with you and I don't believe you would otherwise," he said.
"Edward I do love him very much but I love you more, please believe me and I miss you," I said.
"Stop worrying and enjoy my gift, when you come home I expect to see a sparkle in your eyes, promise me." he said.
"I can't believe you are so unselfish, you are so good to me,' I was still amazed that I could enjoy my 'gift' and not worry.
"I'm sure Aro is impatient to continue to make love to you, as I would be, I'll be ready for you when you return, I love you." He hung up.
Aro looked at me and smiled, "Is it ok for me to continue?" he asked.
"You are his gift to me," I said still stunned, "I'm to enjoy you, and I'm so overwhelmed by both of you."
He made love to me then and I relaxed knowing Edward didn't mind and I felt so much love for both my men.
Afterwards he questioned me again.
"You still didn't tell me what you love about me?" he asked, "I think you like the sex but hopefully there's more to me than that."
"I wouldn't have sex with you if I didn't love you, but I don't know why I loved you so suddenly, when you were so insistent on knowing my thoughts, you were firm but gentle with me and when I looked into your eyes, I knew you loved me and wanted me; there was something at that moment that made me love you, you mesmerized me.
"Tell me truthfully what you thought before?" he questioned.
"I thought you to be an old man and I could never love you, plus which I was deathly afraid of you, of being here and afraid of the bed," I finished.
"How can a bed hurt you?" he asked smiling.
"I had a vision and saw, someone other than Edward lying beside me, when Edward told me of your intentions, I knew it was you and I supposed you would use me as Caius did; I recognized the bed as soon as I saw it, Edward made love to me on it last night but I knew that you planned to too."
"Why were you so afraid?" he asked
"Well we didn't exactly have a good experience when we were here the last time and I'm afraid to be around vampires who drink human blood," I said.
"And now?" he asked prodding my mind.
"This part of the castle, I feel safe in, especially with you loving me and staying so close to me, I don't mind the places you take me to and meeting the vampires you want me meet with, so long as you're with me. I would be afraid to be in the room where the humans die, I don't want to be a part of that," I said shuddering.
"My eyes are red too and you're a part of me now," he said and pulled my hand down to where we were joined. Bella we can't change who we are, we are vampires and therefore part of a food chain, we partake of human blood, which is our nature and what we're formed to do. I'm not ashamed of what I am because I am what I am. We organize ourselves here to ensure, no one knows who we are and we are careful which humans we destroy, Heidi's very good at searching out the most logical humans for our needs, I planned to keep you away from that but maybe you should at least see our side of things and know why we choose who we choose; I'll have Heidi come and see you and you can both talk, do you think any less of me, knowing I won't change even for you?" he asked, holding my face in his hands and looking into my eyes.
"I can't think less of you, because I love you and I'm not here to change you; I accept what you are, even though I abhor that part of what you do, I can't partake of human blood, even though I'm a vampire but I'm glad I don't and I'm glad Carlisle brought up his family not to. I realize that not all of his family has been consistent in staying away from humans and that includes Edward but they have made a pact to at least try," I said.
"Am I to conclude from that, you would like me to try?" he asked, smiling.
"Whether, you do or not, won't make me love you any less, as I said before, I'm not here to change you but love you as you are, if you tried to change, it would be because you wanted to, not because I asked you to," I said and kissed him because I was ready to make love again.
"Are you impatient my dear?" he asked laughing.
"Very," I said seductively.
We made love and afterwards he took me out past the garden to the woods where there were deer grazing.
"Here's your food, please partake," he said.
He watched me and then saw how I stroked the deer and kissed its dead face after I had partaken of the blood.
"Thank you deer for sustaining me," I said and smiled at Aro as he retrieved me.
"I'm sure the poor deer heard that," he said laughing.
Next was my school work and Aro left me in our room so he could conduct business elsewhere.
I worked on my home study for a couple of hours, getting up to date and Aro still hadn't returned so I checked my E-mail and replied to Renee's incessantly long list of why I hadn't E-mailed her, how was Jacob's wedding, how nice it was of Alice to plan it for her and speaking of plans, had we started to plan for Christmas yet etc. I answered as best I could, leaving out my present situation, I knew she wouldn't approve of me sleeping with another man and I didn't want to get into my being in Italy. It was better left alone, I'm not even sure I could explain to Jacob what I was doing; I still couldn't believe I had done what I had done. I forwarded the Christmas E-mail to Alice, because I didn't know what the plans were; then left the computer still on and walked into our bedroom, I looked outside and then decided I needed to rest. I pulled off my gown and lay on the bed in a pensive mood but I couldn't rest, I found a book and started to read it but the garden was suddenly inviting. I was so used to being without clothes, I had forgotten I was naked and I grabbed a long pillow and my book and walked down to where there was a fountain. I put the pillow on the edge of the fountain, which was wide enough to sit, then I laid on the pillow on my stomach with my legs kicking up behind and proceeded to read my book while trickling my fingers through the water in the fountain. It was dusk and I could hear birds chirping softly and the water from the fountain splashing softly but otherwise everything was quiet. I'm not sure how long I lay there, not really reading my book and I put my head down on the pillow and watched the water spewing out of the fountain, totally relaxed and content; if I could have slept I would have.
I don't know how long Aro was watching me, he must have glided because I didn't hear his footsteps and by now it was dark, I suddenly heard a rustle and looked around; he was sitting on a bench opposite me.
"I worried when you weren't in our room and then I happened to see a naked girl out here lying on the fountain, very still," he said. "You don't care that you're naked?" he asked.
"Not really," I answered, "I mostly am any way, even at home."
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing really, I needed to rest so I lay on the bed but you weren't there and the garden looked inviting, so I came out here to rest instead." I explained.
"The bed wasn't inviting without me?" he asked smiling.
"No," I said.
"You flatter me," he said smiling again.
I smiled back, "Yes, I want to."
"I noticed you were E-mailing, did you finish your school work?" he asked.
"Yes, Aro, to both," I answered.
You E-mailed your mother, I see," he was curious.
"Yes, she sends an E-mail practically everyday and goes frantic if I don't answer them promptly." I answered.
"Something about that bothered you?" It was more of a statement than a question.
I knew now why he was quizzing me, he couldn't read my mind but he suspected something, he was just as good as Edward.
"I never kept secrets from my mother until I met Edward, but she still knows I married him and that I'm happy. Now I have you and I want to shout to the world that I love you too, but I can't even tell my mother. She would never approve of me sleeping with another man while I'm still married to Edward, not to mention our obvious age difference. I was the one who always kept her straight and now look at me, a kept woman." I finished.
"Sometimes we have to keep secrets in order to protect the ones we love," he said wisely.
"Do you remember, being human?" I asked curiously.
"Let's go inside and get more comfortable and I'll talk about me," he said and picked me up as I grabbed my pillow and book.
Soon we were in bed, having made love and he was again on top of me with his legs between mine and he still inside me.
"About you…?" I questioned.
"I actually do remember being human, he reminisced, many moons ago and I was obviously older than Edward or you when I was changed."
I touched his papery white face and ran my fingers through his long dark straight hair and he ran his fingers through mine and kissed me fervently.
"I love you," I said.
"You're a child and I love you too, you're so innocent and beautiful and your scent and your smile tempt me, not to mention your body, which you so freely give to me." He said almost reverently.
"Would you have wanted to keep me alive and make love to me if I were human?" I asked.
"I am more scrupulous than Edward and would have changed you immediately and then made love to you and you would have wanted me to. I told you, I was already affected by your scent, which hasn't changed by the way, and you were innocently beautiful then; the only reason I let you go was because Edward would have fought us rather than let you stay and I didn't want to lose him or Alice, I had to be patient and then I would have you with Edward's consent, which I now do."
"Felix was ready to have me for supper on that day and I guess so was Caius, I think they already had plans too, I shuddered.
"Neither would have had you on that day, you would have been mine and no man would have made love to you before me," he was emphatic.
"Are you sorry I'm not a virgin, or at least I wasn't when I arrived?" I asked.
"There's always something about taking a virgin girl but I'm not sorry I have you regardless. Edward deserved that privilege," he smiled.
"Edward was a virgin too, but I don't suppose the same applies to you?" I asked wickedly.
Obviously I'm not and I've had plenty of women but you're different, I want to keep you, in fact I will keep you, I want to stay locked inside you. Is that ok with you?' he asked laughing.
"You have to make room for Edward too, then," I laughed too.
"I'm sure there's enough room in there for both of us," he said.
"If I could have both of you inside me at the same time, I would be in heaven for sure," I said imagining the bliss I would feel and sighing deeply.
"Maybe we could arrange it," he said laughing.
The rest of the night passed pleasantly, we talked some and made love some. We laughed a lot and had fun enjoying each others company.
