Sorry it has been so long for an update! Hope this satisfies your need for out blond god!
Bella POV
I stared at myself in the ornate oblong mirror in Alice's room, barely recognizing the woman reflected back at me. Her eyes were bright, her pale skin glowing, and there was a smile that seemed permanently etched on her face. But I couldn't help it, my life felt complete now and all I needed was the light of Carlisle's love; nothing else mattered. The warmth of his grace seemed to envelope me in a safe blanket and I knew he was thinking about me, too.
Since we had gotten back I had barely seen Carlisle at all; I was back in school, trying my best to concentrate, and he had patients that needed to be seen. The only time we had been together was when we had spoken to Charlie, to give him the news:
I had set Charlie's dinner down in front of him, the smell of garlic and pepper steak made his stomach growl so loud that I smiled; it was a compliment coming from him. He dug in with enthusiasm, enjoying the new recipe I got off the internet.
"Bella," he said after a few minutes. "What is wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You can't stop tapping your foot and you keep looking at the clock…now don't tell me nothing is wrong."
I scolded myself for giving away the tell tale signs. My heart was pounding when I heard Carlisle knock on the door, on time to save me from having to explain my fidgeting. I ran to the door with gusto, opening it to see my blond god standing before me, rain dripping from his hair, a large smile on his perfect face. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and kiss him, but Charlie appeared right behind me.
"Good evening, Mr. Swan." He was all politeness.
"Dr. Cullen. What are you doing here? Please, come in."
I followed the men into the cramped living room, Carlisle sat in the recliner, leaving the couch to my father and myself; he looked so out of place in the old shabby room.
"Well, sir. I came to talk to you about something important."
"Have the boys from the reservation been sniffing gas again…I swear I'm gonna kill them, if the gas doesn't first!"
Carlisle laughed "No, this is about Isabella."
Charlie's eyes narrowed. He looked at me; his eyes squinted and then looked back to Carlisle. "What did she do?" his voice was low.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence dad!" I rolled my eyes…Why did he always assume the worst?
"Chief Swan. I am here because I need to ask permission for your daughter's hand him marriage."
I watched as Charlie's face took on the look of a blowfish, his eyes widening in surprise. "No!" he bellowed. "Absolutely not!"
"Why not?" I yelled back, jumping up from the chair.
"He is too old for you! You're too young! You are not even graduated yet! You are grounded!" He looked at Carlisle with an expression like he was staring at a villain who was trying to kidnap his baby from him.
"Please, Chief Swan, let me explain." I could see Carlisle losing his patience, I could feel his annoyance building; no one was going to keep him from me, not even my own father. "I love her. More than my own life and I know that this is sudden, but Bella has already said yes to me. We are going to be married, after she graduates school, she is eighteen and can make her own choices, and I know that Bella would like it if you could be a part of our lives. Please think about this, Charlie, rationally."
Carlisle wrapped his arms around me from behind, I knew that to Charlie it tried to show his love for me, but I could feel the possessiveness building inside of Carlisle, it was a show of dominance…I was his…no one was going to tear us from each other.
"You really love her?" I could see Charlie's wheels turning, trying to get a grasp on the situation.
"Yes, sir, I do."
"And you love him?" his eyes searched mine, I was a bad liar and he was trying to spot the truth.
"Yes, Dad. I do love him." There was no deceit that he could find and he threw his hands into the air.
"Then I guess I have no choice. Who I am I to stand in the way of love, if you truly love eachother?" I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes and I threw my arms around him and he hugged me back tightly. "But, if you hurt her…I'll kill you."
Now I stood here, in a red dress with cut away sides and a daring open back trimmed in beaded accents. It was a prom dress, seductive with a low cut V-neckline and a slim fitting skirt with an enticing side slit and small train. I loved the dress.
Prom. Ugh! I really did not want to go, but I had not seen Carlisle since that night and I knew he was going to be there. He had already been asked to go as a chaperone and had to be there anyways, and I was nervous. I was going to be his date; there would be no way to hide it from anyone after tonight. I really didn't care what was said, this small town liked their gossip; I just hoped that it did not cause any problems for him. I could have cared less about most of these high school kids, I wouldn't see them after graduation, and that was only a few weeks away. Maybe the sexy dress would send him into a heated frenzy and we would have to leave early.
My body was aching for him. Charlie had switched back to working days and was home at nighttime, so Carlisle thought it would be best if he did not come over. I promised him I could be quiet during sex, but he did not know if he could be.
The weekend would be here after this night and Rose had invited me for a sleepover, much to Charlie's distaste, and I gladly accepted. I was just a little concerned because Alice had been a bit out of sorts the past few days.
Her fingers were weaving expertly through my hair, creating a high piled braid that had curly tendrils escaping artfully here and there. "Alice, please. Normally you cannot contain your enthusiasm and make me sick with your cheerfulness, what is the matter?" I grabbed her around the waist and gave her a strong hug.
She tried to smile and look like she was happy, but I could see straight through it. "Nothing much, I just see a few futures that have me troubled."
"Anything I can do to help?" I didn't like the look in her eyes, she looked sad, not worried.
"Ugh, you just need to stay out of trouble… but that is like asking a dog not to bark," she rolled her eyes and tried to play off the situation, talking more animatedly and bouncing a bit as she worked on my makeup. "There, you are officially perfect."
Rose came in the room… there was no way to be perfect with those tow goddesses in the room. Rose wore a blue shimmering corset gown, her golden hair flowing like a luxurious curtain around her shoulders, and Alice was dressed in a short one shoulder ruffled lime green dress and had her hair spiked in elegant disarray, a tiny tiara topped her head. Their ideal bodies made any girl next to them jealous. I was just glad that I had found someone who loved me for me.
"They are waiting for us," Rose was practically glowing… this elegance, this extreme show of grandeur was right up her alley and she was basking in it. She entwined her arm in mine and led me from the room. I was grateful to have her arm; the stairs going down to the first floor were deadly for me in my four inch black heels.
I didn't look up as I focused on not falling down, I knew the men were waiting at the bottom, and I was glad that I kept my head, because as soon as I saw Carlisle, in all his perfection, I couldn't remember how to move of even breathe. He looked stunning in a black tuxedo, with sleek lines and a modern minimalist look, and black formal shirt. His skin looked like snow against the dark color, but it was sheer flawlessness… and he was mine!
Jasper and Emmett matched his perfection in tuxes of their own, but I had eyes only for Carlisle. Suddenly I got an odd feeling, something that felt like envy, but the feeling left as quickly as it came.
"Oh my God! You look beautiful!" Carlisle beamed at me.
"Well, you…you look amazing!" I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks. Mine…my Carlisle.
He held up my corsage, red and white roses with baby's breath, and moved in to pin it on my chest. There was no worry that he would stick me with the pin, and I shuttered as his hands 'accidently' grazed me over my breast, making me burn for him. I had to bite my bottom lip to keep from groaning…Emmett would never let me live it down!
Carlisle bent closer to me and lowered his lips to my ears, I could feel my skin tingle as he murmured one word to me; "Tonight."
I stood for photos as Alice took enough for an entire album, claiming I would only have one prom, and then we were on our way. Carlisle had gotten everyone a huge Hummer limo to share and I had the satisfaction of watching the limo driver's eyes pop out at the sight of such beautiful people and wished I was included in that assessment.
The prom decorations were something out of a nightmare… it liked like balloons and crepe paper monster had throw up everywhere… it was so kitschy it was almost fabulous! Under the Sea was the theme and sparkly fish, balloon arches and paper crabs lined the dance floor while disco balls threw off white and blue lights, trying to mimic bubbles in the dim light.
"I haven't been to an Under the Sea prom since 1954," Rose giggled to me and watched my mouth drop. I was really beginning to like her… but there was something else… when I looked at her, or any of them, for that matter, I began to feel very protective about them.
Carlisle pulled me to his side, winding his arm around me, and I braced for the reactions I would get as we walked in to the gym together; I was not disappointed. Mike threw looks that felt like they could have been daggers, Jessica's open mouth reminded me of a fish (so she fit right in with the theme), and Angela just smiled and gave me a slight thumbs-up. There were other nameless faces I could see giving us scandalous looks and I knew they were whispering about us because Carlisle's face gave it away; I knew he could distinguish every word with his perfect hearing.
He led me to the middle of the dance floor, where the DJ was playing a lovely slow song, and twirled me in a circle, finally pulling me closer.
"Mrs. Swan, you have no idea how this week has been hell on me, not being able to be with you."
"I have missed you, too, Dr. Cullen. However, we do have the weekend together and I plan on being by your side every second and not sleeping at all."
I could see his eyes begin to darken, their honey color receding fast, and I heard a low growl. "Lord, you have no idea the things I want to do to you right now… and that dress of your is not helping the situation."
I laughed quietly "Why do you think I picked it? But, do you think that Alice would actually let us leave?"
He sighed, "No and I do have a duty here…although the adults here are talking about taking me aside to voice their disapproval."
"You care what they think?"
"Not at all, but I do have to practice here for awhile longer. And I don't want to make things uncomfortable for your father, so I had better release you while I can." He lowered his lips to mine, gently, sweetly and then turned quickly and walked to where another group of adults hovered near a snack table.
I glanced around and found Angela motioning to me, Jessica was on the floor dancing with Mike, and so I went over to her.
"So how are you enjoying the dance?" she asked politely.
"It is great. You look beautiful, by the way." The periwinkle color looked lovely on her skin and the dress hung nicely on her frame.
"Thank you. You look good, too. Your date seems nice."
"Yes, he is." Angela seemed to have a hard time asking about him, I knew she didn't like to pry, but I showing up with Dr. Cullen was too much to not ask about.
"So you and Doctor Cullen are…" she raised an eyebrow at me and I laughed.
"Dating? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Yes." I didn't try to show her the beautiful ring on my left hand, but I could see her eyes glance in that direction, her smile growing even bigger.
"I'm so happy for you! That is great. I mean… I though you would end with Edward, but he always seemed a bit unhinged over you. Carlisle is great…I only know him as my doctor, but, wow!"
"You don't think it is weird?" I was curious; I did like Angela, and I found that I actually valued her opinion.
"No. Not at all! You both seem perfect together…and he's rich!" she giggled. It was nice to know that I had her support.
Just then Emmett approached us, looking very formal, his back straight and his face as serious as I had ever seen him. He stopped short of us and saluted Angela and then stiffly bowed to me. "May I have the honor of a chaste dance with you, Isabella Swan?"
"Of course, my kind sir," I snorted and he led me to the floor. "Why so official with the invite?"
A huge grin broke out on his face "I figured that show would appease Carlisle's instincts and he would let me have a dance with my little sis. I don't want him trying to dismember me tonight…I want to live for at least another millennium or so…" He was so easy to like!
Despite his burly size, dancing with him was like floating in air, once he had me balance on his toes after I tripped. My eyes caught Carlisle's and I could see he was happy that I was enjoying myself so much. Rose was dancing with Jasper and I couldn't see Alice anywhere… it worried me a bit.
Emmett kept me for two dances before Carlisle made his way to us; his apparent patience was running thin. Emmett was unaffected by the small snarl that greeted us and he just snickered "I know, dude, I know." He made his way back to Rose, who smiled in smug satisfaction as soon as he was by her side.
"Would you like something to eat?" I nodded and he led me to a table near a dark back corner and I sat in a metal chair with my back to the wall, leaving me only to go bring back a plat piled high with food.
"I didn't know what you would want so I got you some of everything,"
"Thank you!" It all looked pretty good and I was hungry. With all the excitement of getting ready I had forgotten to eat at all today. I dove in, my hunger beating out my manners to take small bites like a lady.
"Are you having a good time?" he rested his hand innocently on my back, drawing small circles with his cold fingers.
"Yes, I'm glad you made me come to this atrocity! I just wish I could spend more of it with you!" I stuffed a piece of watermelon into my mouth, dripping some of it down the corner of my mouth.
"Allow me," he smiled playfully and licked at the juice carefully with his tongue. I fought the urge to pull him closer, I already knew that people were watching us and I didn't want to give them more to gossip about.
"How…how are you enjoying yourself?" I tried to control my breathing…in just a few hours I would be alone with him.
"Those people are insufferable. They are all so concerned about me dating the Chiefs daughter that they didn't see when Mike slipped vodka into the punch! You're dad is going to have his hands full tonight." He leaned closer to me, one hand still on my back, and the other gently played with the edge of the slit in my dress; I tried to pretend that I did not notice and continued with the food before me. I could see his teeth gleaming in the light as he slipped beneath the slip, tracing shapes into my inner thigh, he did not want to be ignored over a plate of food.
His icy fingers inched their way slowly up my thigh until I could feel them caressing the outside of my red underwear, their frosty touch seeping through the already moist fabric. I could see his chest rising and falling with every breath, trembling as he tried to get himself even closer to me.
"People can see us, you know!" I hissed at him.
"Not beneath this tablecloth," he chuckled darkly. He was right; with us backed into a corner, the dim lights and the floor length turquoise table cover, we were well concealed. Hs thumb massaged hard over my mound and I bit back a groan, the lids of my eyes closing. My fingers dug into his knee and I could feel my breath hitching in my throat. I felt that sense of envy again….longing…
"Stop," I breathed out sharply, trying to push his and away as my legs began shaking, but he continued stroking me through the thin cloth. I could hear his breath quickening in my ear, his perfect nose picking up the scent from my womanhood… beckoning to him. I could feel his need… I could sense the haze that was clouding his mind…
His body jerked back from me harshly and I heard him swear loudly under his breath and I now understood why; a portly teacher was walking hurriedly in our direction, with a look of panic on his face.
"Dr. Cullen!" he gasped. "We need your help! Someone spiked the punch and others are passing around liquor. We have two boys passed out the bathroom and one girl vomiting in the locker room. Please come see if we should call the ambulance."
The doctor side of Carlisle took over and he looked at me with an apologetic glace. "Go. Go." I smiled at him and my shoulders sagged with disappointment as he walked away. I tried to control my emotions, my aching for him. I wondered if it would always feel this way, this primal need to have him, not that I minded it in any way.
"May I have this dance?" I heard a smooth voice say, bringing me back to reality. It was so easy to forget that the rest of the world was going on while Carlisle and I were together; the world could shatter and I would not even care as long as he was with me.
Jasper had his hand outstretched to me, his blond hair slicked back, instead of hanging around his handsome face and his smile was positively devilish. "I would love to!" I took his hand and he led me to the floor. He followed suit with what Emmett did and had me balance on his toes, his arm wrapped around my waist… and another stab of desire shook my body…
"Where is Alice tonight? I haven't seen her much." I asked conversationally.
"She had to go back to the house. She said there were a few things she needed to take care of." He shrugged and shook his head. His lack of concern made me a bit uneasy and he smiled at me, feeling my worry. "Alice has always done what she wanted, the queen of manipulation. I am just along for the ride."
He began spinning us and I didn't like it…queen of manipulation… "But you love her?"
"Well, yes. I do, and she loves me, in her own way." The spinning continued and I had to put my head on his chest to keep my food down. I heard a slight whoosh of air before the coolness of the outdoors assaulted my skin, I didn't even realize that he had lead us out that way, but the rush of air didn't stop, his feet carried us into the surrounding forest and somewhere nearby I heard the rumble of thunder.
He stopped swiftly and freed me from his grasp. I saw a crash of lightening and it lit up Jasper's face. I took a step back, involuntarily…I knew that look…it was the same look that Edward use to get when he was fighting his bloodlust for me.
"Jasper… are you alright?" I had to keep talking, to keep his human side nearby… his instincts could easily take over and I could be dead in a second. He didn't answer and I saw him lick his bottom lip…desire flooded through my abdomen…
"Jasper, are you hungry? Am I in danger?" What could I do? I didn't even know if Carlisle would realize yet that I was gone. His hands were clenched in fists at his side; he was trembling. His eyes were wild and pitch black and trained on me. His eyes widened, and then he closed them, parted his lips just slightly, and took a deep breath in through his nose, his nostrils flaring. His eyelids fluttered and he exhaled with a shaky breath, clasped and unclasped his hands, and finally opened his eyes.
He shook his head and took a step towards me, his hand once again stretched out for me. I was not in danger of his killing me, I hoped, but I knew there was another danger lurking under the surface. I took another step back; I knew he could smell the fear running through my hot veins and my backside encountered the scratch bark of a tree. "I think we should go back. Carlisle will be looking for me." He was in front of me in a flash, one hand on either side of my head, trapping me in a solid cage. We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity.
"Bella…" his eyes were full of lust, his voice pleading. "Bella…I can't do this anymore. I am about to go out of my mind watching him touch you!" he spat at me. His head lowered to my neck and I could hear him inhaling my scent. He let out a low moan as his lips grazed over my pulse point. His mouth parted and I could feel my skin tingle as he began to suck on the pulse point, his tongue flicking my skin.
"Stop it, Jasper!" I tried sounding forceful, but I was scared, I knew exactly what he could do, and I didn't know where my love was… he might not even know that I was gone.
His honey gaze met mine again, his lips only an inch from mine, his luscious scent drowning me. "You don't understand. I cannot get you out of my head; the scent of your blood enthralls me and the scent of you…hearing Carlisle rub you through your panties and smelling the wetness…Oh, God… it almost killed me….I wanted to take you right then…Thank God for that idiot Mike!"
He pressed his lips to mine and I felt a hot aching inside of me…but it wasn't from me. I knew he could control other's physical reactions… could his powers be strong enough to make my body desire him… yes; of course he could do that. My mind was screaming for him to stop and I tried to push him off of me.
He broke the kiss and chuckled. "I know that you are a weak human, but you do know how I like it; rough. I like the fight. Alice is so tame now that I question if she is a real vampire or not."
I ducked beneath his arms and ran, kicking my heels off as I went, but appeared almost instantly in front of me, his arms circling around me, he laughed, enjoying the game. "I can give you what you need, what you want." I gasped as I felt him push his hard member up against my stomach. "I want you as my mate Bella…I need you. If not, I think, I need you just once… I think I can live with just one time. You need to feel me inside of you and I need to feel you around me, please." He sounded like he was trying to convince himself that this was okay.
"Carlisle! Help!" I yelled and jasper silenced me with a kiss. I bit at his lips and tongue, but it just seemed to spurn him on, he growled at me lightly and dug his fingertips into my hips painfully. I tried to jerk backwards, but he held me tight.
I almost felt bad for him…almost. I could feel his desire, his aching longing… his need. But I didn't want him….I wanted to help him, but not in that way…Carlisle help me!
He backed me into a tree and I his cold heavy body pinned me, digging the bark into my back and I yelped in pain. "You want me, I know you do…" he breathed heavily into my ear. I could feel the burning inside of me… the burn that he was influencing
"I don't want you… get off of me! Help! Somebody? Carlisle!"
He dropped to his knees in front of me gripping my hips, holding me in a vice-like grip, his nose close to my core; he gulped in the smell deeply, is body groaning "That smell… Edward said your blood sang for him…I now think I can understand… this… this aroma calls to me. Bella, I need you. I need to pound into you until I hear you call my name."
His teeth tore at my dress, ripping away the skirt easily, and beads clattering on the rocks below. Maybe I could appeal to him rationally "What about Alice? You love her, not me!"
"I do, but it is not enough anymore. I can't explain it…" his blond hair shone silver in the lightening; his face looked paler than before, as if he were struggling internally with himself. His face steeled as he made his choice. He leaned forward, hit lips grazing over my panties, and I could feel as his frigid tongue snuck out, stroking the already moist cloth. His whole body was shaking, his chest vibrating with pleasure. The ache in me got stronger… he was not going to hold off for long…
"Fuck you!" I shouted at him as I tried to wiggle away, my hands yanking at his pale mane in an attempt to pull him off of me.
"That is all I want." He laughed, his face elated with anticipation. "But before I fulfill your request, say you are mine."
"What?"
"Say it, Bella."
"No! I. Love. Carlisle." I spat angrily at him.
His eyes narrowed and I could feel his teeth sink into my mound, hard, and I cried out in agony. "Say you are mine," he growled with his muffled mouth.
"NO!" His teeth sunk in deeper and he tugged at the skin and cloth. His nails dug into my skin, some of them piercing the flesh, blood began oozing from the wounds. The pain was unbearable and I fought, to no avail, to get away, the howling anguished cries leeching from my heart as well as my throat.
"Okay…" I sobbed. "I'm yours…stop…I'm yours." The pain stopped and he was back at my lips, demanding and forceful. The hot tears spilled over onto my cheeks, mixing with the kiss, I could taste the salt and I felt bile rising from my stomach. His hands roamed my body, pinching and rubbing me, his desire growing stronger.
Suddenly I felt something that felt like a gentle breeze, almost a loving caress on my face, and the coolness of Jasper's body was gone. I heard something that made my blood run cold; a growl more terrifying than anything I had ever hear before.
Carlisle POV
I could feel the fear coursing through her veins, which is how I knew she was gone. I had already called an ambulance for the two male teens; I could smell in their blood that it was alcohol poisoning and they had been drinking long before they even set foot inside the dance. I was with the girl, examining her when I knew that Isabella needed help, thankfully the female just had a virus and I found her date who took her home.
I darted out to the gym. "Where is she?" I hissed to Emmett and Rose, who were making out in a corner, Rose's lipstick smeared across her cheek. They could see the panic in my eyes and both ran out of the gym with me.
I let my senses range out, sniffing for her scent, and catching something faint in the air. "Jasper is with her." Rose pointed out into the forest. Her eyes had caught something; a bead that had fallen off of Isabella's red dress.
No! Not Jasper! The smell from the trail was fairly fresh, no more than ten minutes old, but that was more than enough for Jasper to do something stupid.
I would take his head off if he hurt her! I knew he wanted her, but how much? I heard myself snarl as soon as we hit the forest, I wasn't even watching the trees; I barreled straight through them, making a visible trail behind me. I could hear Rose and Emmett behind me, flying fast, but I was faster.
I was hoping I was mistaken and Jasper took her on Alice's orders, maybe she had seen something important… but my instincts knew better. I could feel waves of desire rippling through her as well her disgust and fear… he was playing with her physical reactions trying to convince himself that she wanted him, too. My feet carried me faster than ever before…I didn't want to hurt him… but I knew I could easily kill him, without a second thought, if he tried to mate with her!
I heard her sob with my own ears "No! Okay… I'm yours…stop…I'm yours." Her voice choked out and the vampire in me screeched in rejected pain! I knew it rationally she had to say it, but the words tore at my soul… he must be hurting her… he had to be! It is the only way she would say something that horrific… there must be…blood!
My jaw clenched at the sweet smell and I heard her sob again… I could feel her pain… her soul calling for me. I felt the curtain drop on my lucid mind… clouding instantly as I charged at the vampire…. His hands were on her… caressing her. His scent was on her, lips her neck, her throbbing core…
The look on my beloved was excruciating to witness… the hopelessness… the unwillingness. I shot at him like a rocket. He was so consumed in his pleasure that he didn't hear me until it was too late. But before my body hit his, my hand reached her face, wiping away the tears that fell…
Black rage filled my being as I crashed into him, throwing our bodies into the nearest giant pine tree, snapping it in half. My growls directed at him became louder and louder until I was roaring. My love…
He was not a young, inexperienced vampire and he was on his feet instantly. "She is mine!" I hissed at him before darting at him again. The soldier waited in him was experienced and his leg swung forward, kicking me solidly in the chest, knocking me backward. I felt a pain in my chest, but I was oblivious to it.
"No! She will be mine and I will be the head of this coven! I want her!" he pulled his lips back over his teeth, threatening me. I, this time, until he made the first move; his mouth open, searching for my neck, but I had seen this move before when we had fought other vampires, and I was ready. I swiftly pulled to one side, twisting my body just outside his reach, and seized a hold one of his arms and pulled back sharply. The sharp ripping sound told me my mission had been accomplished, his body lay on the ground, missing one limb, where it wiggled in my hands, trying to find its body.
I flung the arm aside and rushed back to my love, crouching down defensively. I snarled at him, snapping my teeth together, as Jasper got to his feet and growled. I heard a loud crack and watched as Rose…Rose… dashed forward and punched him in the jaw, his body flying backwards into a boulder, splitting it in two. She rushed at him, wanting to do more damage, the look in her eyes unfathomable, but Emmett grabbed her by the shoulders hugging her to her. "Shh…it's okay babe." He whispered to low for Isabella to hear.
Suddenly they both stopped breathing, the odor of fresh blood assaulting them, tempting their resolve. I still hovered in my position, not giving any of them the opportunity to get closer, and I murmured one word to them as I tossed Jasper's flailing arm to Rose… "Home." Emmett grabbed Jasper and they all flew into the primordial growth, taking them where their senses could be enticed by the tang of blood.
The red haze still clouded my vision as I turned back to Isabella, my teeth still exposed, I let out an angry bark at her and stepped closer… the smell of her blood calling to me.
Bella POV
His eyes were darker than I had ever seen them before and it petrified me; I could not move. I could see the fury in his face, and I could feel something lingering under the surface of his resentment… his eyes flashed a hint of pain. He inched closer, until his cool hardened frame was only inches from me, but not touching me. I could see his body shaking, his lips trembling, and he dropped to his knees. His nostrils flared at the smell of the punctured wounds, still slightly dripping with hot red liquid. He leaned in, the tips of his tongue slowly tasting where the blood had run down my leg. His body began to vibrate even harder as he trailed up the bloodline, but not touching the wound, cleaning the rust smelling fluid from my flesh.
I was terrified. I didn't know if his instincts could take over and end my life. I held my breath as he moved to the other hip, lightening crashed and made him look like the monster he always tried to control around me. His tongue continued lapping at me, instantly bringing more heat to my abdomen, and I groaned rolling my eyes back in my head, unable to stop myself.
His head snapped up and his irate eyes met mine. His body was upright in an instant, pressing against me, his breath hard and fast. "You said… to him" he growled, unable to finish what he overheard me say.
"Carlisle, you know I had to." He was not thinking rationally, his vampire instincts at the forefront. I slowly raised my hand to his cheek, and he flinched back before letting me rest my hot palm against his smooth stone skin.
"Never…say it…I don't care who… Never!" his jaw was set hard as he choked the words out.
I could feel the tears in my eyes… the experience of what just happened with Jasper, plus the pain that I could feel coming from Carlisle was too much and I began to sob, the cries coming out in gasps. His lips found my neck and bit down, without breaking the skin, on the pulse point that was suppose to enhance pleasure, his arms pulling me closer, to the point it was painful to breathe.
"Isabella…say it…now" he forcefully plead, I could feel him at a breaking point, needing the words or he would snap….
"I am and always will be yours…"his mouth found mine and he pushed his tongue into my mouth, I could taste the faint hint of blood, but my need to have him overrode my revulsion. His hands tore at my clothing; his mouth was not gentle, wanting only to reestablish his claim on me.
I felt a fire burning inside of me, a primal desire that wanted to consume him, to dance in the hot flames with him as one. I clawed at his hair as his neck and hair, trying with all my strength to get closer than physically possible. He preformed my favorite magic trick and removed all of his clothing without breaking the kiss or our embrace, his cold chest against my breast and stomach made me shiver, my nipples painfully hard against his frozen skin.
The bark dug into my back and I could feel the wood scratching at my skin as he grabbed my legs, wrapping them around his waist. He slid into me with one smooth thrust, my entrance slick and ready for him, and I moaned in pleasure. There was no time for more pleasantries…I need him and he needed me… his instincts in complete control…
He held me up with is arms as he moved back and forth, pounding his flesh into mine. "You," kiss, "are" kiss "MINE!" he pulled back and looked at me again, his wild eyes unblinking, before he assaulted my lips with renewed vigor. His arms bounced me up and down faster increasing the friction, causing new places to be touched deep within me in this previously untried position. "I can feel you blood in me, pulsing through your veins…ugh… the heat… around my thighs… my cock… holy hell, woman!" he grunted into my ear, sending desire coursing through me.
My mouth found his shoulder and I bit down as forcefully as my jaw would let me; I wanted to leave my own mark on him… my mate… my everything!
His growls turned into a long purr… "My Isabella...my love…my mate" his hips jerked faster and faster. I threw my head back, releasing a scream as pleasure consumed me, my inner muscles throbbing so hard they made me shake; the thunder and lightning reflecting what I was feeling inside. The thought of being one with him at that moment, with no beginning and no end, our bodies connected entirely, sent new waves of emotion through me and I felt like our souls were connected, tying us together even stronger than before.
He thrust inside of me a few more times, hard and furious, before I felt his member twitching inside of me, spilling his seed into me, a loud roar had me whimpering at his power, his dominance… I was his and his alone…
He held me against the tree for what seemed like an eternity, not breaking the connection between our bodies which were still joined in the most intimate way. I was safe, I was whole, and I was loved. There was no place else I wanted to be.
"Isabella?" his eyes were returning to their honey color, from the coal black that had possessed them, but I thought I saw a hint of red glinting around the edges of his color. "Are you alright?" his voice was sill husky.
"Yes. I'm just glad you found me. I don't know what would have…" I stopped as his face contorted into rage.
"Isabella, I am going to take you home now. I have to talk to Alice and her mate." He sneered at the word. "I am sorry that this will be the memory of your prom, I wanted it to be perfect."
I shook my head at him "Don't, it's not your fault. Besides, we do have this weekend."
He nodded stiffly; clearly his mind was on other things. We flew through the forest, his tuxedo coat wrapped around my body, my dress being torn to shreds. Charlie was out at work for the night, helping to wrangle the teens from the prom who could not handle themselves, so Carlisle had no hesitation jumping through my window and setting me down gently on my bed. He made his way to the bathroom, grabbing the first aid kit for me.
"Isabella," he sat next to me, I took in a deep breath, inhaling his delectable scent, and my mouth began to water. His expert eyes examined my wounds, cleaning them, and applying a cream to prevent infection before covering them with a bandage. "Tonight will be the last night you sleep alone. I cannot bear for this to happen to you again. As far as I am concerned, the sooner I marry you, the better. And when you are ready, I will turn you, without hesitation, into a vampire. Being human is just too dangerous for you in general." His lips were tight as he spoke and I could feel his ache at having to leave me tonight.
"Are you getting tired of saving me?" I tried to joke, but my voice sounded flat, I knew he was right.
"Never," he smiled at me. "I actually like being your superhero… you have no idea how that can stroke a man's ego, but I want to make sure no one can ever hurt you again, and if that means me quitting my job and taking you to a cabin hundreds of miles from the nearest town or person, then so be it."
"That actually doesn't sound too bad." I stretched my neck up and kissed him on the chin.
"All in good time, but I do need to go home. Rose will be back after Charlie falls asleep to get you for your sleepover. You'll be safe here tonight." His eyes darkened as he leaned in to kiss me. "I love you."
"I love you, too." With that he leapt from the window and darted across the lawn before I could get to the glass.
I fell quickly into sleep, letting the blackness envelope me, and wishing to forget most of the night. My dreams morphed from nightmares of faceless vampires to beautiful moments with Carlisle and then back to nightmares again. Once I thought I felt cold arms trying to comfort me, rocking me, but the feel was all wrong and I shied away from it.
After that I kept seeing Carlisle's face, mixed with musk and vanilla, it was unusual… I missed his cinnamon and ocean. I woke to the sound of my window sliding open and seeing Rose climbing through, her golden hair looking white in the sunlight. Instantly she froze, her teeth bared and she hissed at me, her eyes wide with horror. Suddenly my mind caught up to what she already knew… the cold arms, the smell…Edward had been in my room! I sat upright and noticed a note fall from on my chest to the floor, but that was not all that fell… a few long strands of hair went with it. I grabbed at my head… My hair!
Edward had cut almost all of it off!
Please read and review… it is going to get a bit darker… Eddie is back and VERY crazy…but not to worry… there will still be lemons! Carlisle will pin you any way you want if you review (a tree, concrete wall, window… just use your imagination!) XD
