Chapter 36: And In Health

Alice POV:

"You-you what?" We were in the middle of a heated fight and Bella had just thrown out the L word for the first time.

"Oh fuck." She seemed pissed at herself and turned away from me, running her hands through her messy hair. "This isn't how I wanted to say that."

"You love me?" I squeaked out embarrassingly. Bella turned to face me again genuinely.

"Yes. I do. I'm in love with you." She said while holding eye contact with me. I started to uncontrollably hyperventilate in overwhelming happiness. Bella now looked alarmed at my response, but I ran towards her full speed and leapt onto her. Thank god for her quick reflexes. She was able to catch me and herself while I attacked her lips passionately. Realizing I hadn't completely responded yet, I pulled away as we both gasped for breath.

"I love you. I love you so much Bella." She nodded distractedly and went back to my lips for more. It turned desperate fast, both of us wanting more. "Bedroom!" I gasped out between breaths. While sex in the living room was all good and fun, it seemed like one of those times where a bedroom was needed for properness of the occasion.

Bella rushed upstairs with me still firmly attached around her waist. She was a smooth operator when it came to removing articles of clothing. I had barely even noticed she had stripped us both completely down and had managed to put me back in my previous position. That was impressive. The feel of my center rubbing against her abdomen must have been irritating her because she kept growling lowly whenever I rocked against her. She finally gave up and threw me roughly on the bed, I was not going to last very long at this rate. Bella trailed her nimble fingers down my body teasing me to no end, and began to suck on my nipples with no mercy. I couldn't take it anymore. "Please! Bella please?"

"Yes ma'am." She brought her mouth back up to mine so her tongue would enter right when her fingers entered me. No, I'm not going to last long at all. Bella's expert digits had brought me to the edge in no time, but I had one last request before we both went over.

"Bella! Say it again please?" Luckily she knew what I meant right away, even with the stress she was currently under.

"I love you Alice. Now come with me baby." That did it alright. The aftershocks lasted a while, and I could still feel Bella's body shaking over me dealing with hers. I pulled her flush against my body while she was still having difficulty breathing.

"I love you too. My wolf. My Bella." When her panting subsided, she purred contently against my chest. It had been a long and strange 48 hours. But this moment right here made it all worth it.

Bella slept soundly through the night snuggled against my chest. I'm always amazed at how my temperature never bothers her. She says it actually helps a bit considering how hot her body runs. Fire and ice I guess. Opposites attract.

After knowing what it was like not to hear Bella's heart at all, it was extremely comforting to have it beating almost directly onto my body. I just laid there stroking her hair in the most peaceful state while she continued to sleep. Unfortunately the stupid alarm went off, ruining my morning by waking up my girlfriend.

"Mmmmmm. School." She mumbled while rolling off my body and stretching.

"We could skip?" I asked hopefully. I wouldn't mind staying in bed all day to be honest.

"I'm afraid not. We've already missed too much. Come on, don't make that face." She laughed as I pouted at her. It was worth a shot. We both showered and Bella ate breakfast quickly so we would be on time. My mood had gone downhill fast when we arrived at school. This was the worst part of my day. "It'll be over before you know it." She kissed me goodbye in the car.

"I doubt it." I grumbled before parting from her. School didn't count against my not actually leaving her side however. My senses to her were so in tune now, that I could hear her heartbeat from anywhere on the grounds. But even that distance was giving me issues. I was irritable all through the first half of the day. Thank god for lunch.

When I got to the cafeteria my eyes immediately went searching for Bella. Her class was further away than mine was, so it made sense that I had beaten her, but still disheartening.

"Damn Alice. You're getting worse than how Rose was when we first met." Emmett laughed as I sat down dejected. Rosalie smacked him playfully on the arm and gave me a perceptive look. I swear that girl knows everything.

Suddenly my head popped up like a dog hearing its favorite squeaky toy. Except in this case, Bella was my squeaky toy. This caused Emmett to laugh even harder of course. But Bella had this weird look on her face, like she was only focusing on me. I stood up right away as she made a B line towards me, ready to pull her into a hug. But she had a much different idea.

Before I even knew what had happened, Bella's lips were on mine greedily. It wasn't a very heated kiss, but it was desperate and obviously needed. For a second I completely forgot where we were. That is until I heard everything.

"What was that for?!" I whisper yelled at her. She shrugged unperturbed.

"I don't care anymore. I wanted to kiss my girlfriend, so I did." My dead heart fluttered at her words. She took my hand and sat us down at our table. My siblings were all looking extremely amused and shocked.

"What?" I asked defensively.

"Nothing." Emmett looked like he was having the best day of his life. "I just think you made a lot of guys' dreams come true though." Oh crap.

The rest of the school day was filled with wild rumors flying around and people constantly asking me questions. I took a page out of Bella's book and ignored all of them, no matter how insulting or outrageous they were. Although Rose did have to grab me before I murdered Jessica, who was spreading the rumor that Bella was a whore sleeping with the entire family. Angela actually seemed genuinely happy for us though when she talked to me in Spanish class. She was always pretty perceptive so I think she knew something was up. Finally gym rolled around and I got to spend time with my wolf again. She seemed pretty entertained by it all, typical Bella.

Once school was out, every eye was on us as we walked over to Bella's car per usual. I don't think I've ever seen her smile as much as she did today. I sat back in my seat as she drove.

"Wait. Where are we going?" She was not going towards her house or mine. What was she up to?

"I told you. If you won't leave me, then I'm going hunting with you. So we're going hunting."

"Bella no! You do not have the strength for that!" Why that sneaky little-

"Alice I'm not arguing this anymore. Can you go without me?" She was so calm was she talked to me.

"No…."

"Then that's it. So we're going." I grumbled quietly for the rest of the drive. She did pick a good spot though, I was impressed. "Come on." She gestured for me to get out of the car with her. I felt like a child not wanting to go to the doctor, throwing a temper tantrum.

"Ugh fine!" I got out of the car reluctantly taking Bella's outstretched hand. But she dropped it almost right away and began to strip. "What are you doing?"

"I'm phasing. I figured my wolf will be a little easier to contain around blood." I had to avert my eyes as to not pounce on her right then and there. Sometimes she was too sexy for her own good.

Once in wolf form, she nudged me to get going. So I started a slow paced hunt, making sure Bella was close enough for my liking. There were several deer I kept passing up though, I was a little worried to be hunting with Bella. For her sake and mine. Bella started to realize what I was doing so she stopped and barked at me.

"I know I know. Alright I'll get the next one I promise." She continued to follow me at a relatively safe distance until we both caught sight of another deer. I looked back at her briefly and she gave me an encouraging head nod. Well, here goes nothing.

I pounced lightly on my prey, snapping its neck instantly. Then I bit down very carefully, as to not make a huge wound that would invade Bella's senses. Unfortunately I got a little rough while I fed and spilled a bit of blood. It had been a while since I hunted. I could hear Bella whining nearby, fighting herself. Shit. Once finished, I leapt up and ran back towards Bella, trying to distract her from it all. She was pacing around irritably, shaking her head side to side, and growling. Obviously in a heated battle of wills.

"Bella I'm so sorry I made you do this. Shit please go back to the car? I can finish with you safe there. I'm so stupid I wasn't thinking about you." She just kept whining and growling at herself. I've really fucked up now with my selfishness.

Without warning, she had phased back and thrown us against a nearby tree, kissing me aggressively. While utterly aroused, the danger of the situation was not lost on me. Her eyes were pitch black and I felt her trying to suck any remaining drop of blood from my mouth. "Bella? Bella are you in there?" I asked a slightly scared. No response. Instead she moved down to my neck and tore the shirt off my body. Ok this was officially hot and extremely dangerous. But the protest I was about to let out turned into a long moan as Bella slipped her fingers down my pants. Fuck hazard.

Her usual gentle and maybe somewhat rough movements were far gone. She was going hard and it was making me lose my mind. Feral snarls would escape her throat every once in a while, and I couldn't contain the sounds I was making anymore. Not that it mattered at the moment. Bella's control was completely gone. Her fingers kept pumping in and out faster and faster as I was coming undone. My nails dug deeply into her back drawing blood, but there wasn't a thought in my head right now.

"Mine. All mine." She growled into my neck, biting it roughly. And that was all she wrote. My right hand dug so hard into her shoulder I actually heard it crack as I saw stars. At least my bone breaking force had brought her back to reality however, because she jumped back panicked. "Oh my god Alice! Oh fuck! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! I'm so fucking sorry!" I was really out of it. I had actually collapsed against the tree in confusion.

"Bella stop it! Stop blaming yourself all the time! I could have stopped you but I didn't. And then I went and broke your shoulder!" We both took some more time to catch our breath. "Come on. That was a really stupid idea. Let's go home and get Carlisle to reset your shoulder." She nodded and followed me back to the car. "Maybe we just won't tell him how it happened." She chuckled lightly at my joke. That was a good sign. All in all it was a pretty good day. I fed, and had kinky hot sex in the woods. Just maybe not the best idea in the future.
