First I want to say I am so pleased that so many of you who are reading my story are enjoying my OOCs, it is a personal thrill to have characters I've created be accepted. I love the input from those who choose to review, because it makes my muse ponder different thought patterns, so thank you.
Disclaimer: All Twilight characters belong to Stephanie Meyers, while I'm just teasing and bending them for a bit. No profit is being collected from the fiction contained within.
The storyline and non-Twilight characters are my creative fault and mine alone.
This storyline has women loving women. If this kind of love scares you, well darling turn around and go back the other way. There are plenty of splendid writers who delve into straight couple relationships; I'm just not one of them.
Oh I did change the rating to M just to be on the safe side, do to the language getting a tad rougher and the sex scenes might become a bit more graphic but no promises in that area. Oh, there will also be mention of threesomes and 'gasp horror' vampires and other supernatural creatures getting it on with each other.
All boo boos, snafus and misdeeds within the story are all mine and mine alone.

(Swan Residence Sunday morning very early)
As heated trills coursed through her body, Bella sent out a quiet thank you to Gabriella. On Saturday morning the tall woman whisked her away from Alice so they could have a chat. In the past the discussion would have sent plumes of heated embarrassment throughout her body, but she was oh so definitely glad it had occurred.
(Flashback)
"My dear child you and I are going to have a quick chit-chat." Gabriella had purred into Bella's ear having come up behind her silently, while Alice was talking with Dani on her cell phone.
Without warning, Bella felt the woman's strong arms wrap around her and suddenly she was encased in warm nothingness. It was disorienting, scary and rousing all at the same time, reminding her of an amusement park thrill ride. Seconds, minutes Bella wasn't sure how long the strange trip lasted but the two emerged to a blast of wind, rain and the taste of sea air.
Her mouth plopped opened and her eyes widened in astonishment, which wasn't the best things to do because she was assaulted by the elements. Turning her back to onslaught she stared at Gabriella who was grinning like a child. It was then she saw a lighthouse behind the woman.
"Where are we?"
"The lighthouse at Cape Arago just outside of Charleston, Oregon. Beautiful isn't it?"
'Oregon!' Bella blinked several times as she processed that bit of information, "er, its storming Gabi and I really can't see a thing."
Chuckling, "yes, well, then I guess we're in the same boat so to speak, but trust me it is a wondrous sight to behold. To see the ocean churning and thrusting itself at the rocks in sheer determination to reshape the landscape is magnificent."
"Uh, why bring me here to talk?" 'Why not Paris or Rio?' Thinking of a few places that would have been nicer and perhaps dryer then where they were. "Not that I don't mind the whole being in one place and suddenly in another though it was shocking it was kind of cool." Bella knew she was going to start to babble so closed her mouth tight.
"No real reason, other then I like the storms on the Oregon coast and this area is closed to the public," she replied still beaming. "Bella," Gabriella paused her tone was soft barely a whisper as she tilted her head down towards the smaller woman. "You and Alice are thrumming with sexual desires and you two must not wait until Tuesday to act upon it."
For the second time in a matter of minutes, Bella's jaw flopped open and her eyes widened, she tried to speak but found she didn't know what to say so she just stared at the woman.
"I know I tease a lot dear girl but I'm not teasing now," Gabriella she pulled Bella into a tight embrace. "You are still in many ways a newborn, albeit one with a great deal of control but I worry that by Tuesday you won't be able to control your fervor. Not that is a bad thing normally but when you and Alice are in the throes of passion you'll want to bite her, mark her, so everyone will understand she's your mate. It's a natural reaction even human's feel that primal urge to do it sometimes."
There was no denying that at the beginning Bella was feeling a tad mortified and even perhaps a bit enraged at the subject matter Gabriella had the audacity to bring up. Yet, as she listened to the explanation she understood completely why the woman had brought it up.
Feeling Gabriella kiss her head, "I'm sure Alice is having a vision of us right now that is why I am speaking quietly so she can't hear what is discussed between us. She would dismiss my concern, because she has relived the memory in her mind but the body still holds the memory and that takes more time to heal."
Laying her head on Gabriella's chest, "I understand, thank you. I don't want my pixie to go through that again." Bella sighed forgetting the rain pelting the two of them.
"Now if you need any pointers on how to proceed, seeing how you both are rather virginal I would be more then willing to offer my vast knowledge on the subject of deflowering, why hell I'd even be willing to provide a demonstration."
Bella buried her head further into Gabriella chest shaking her head as she heard the woman's laughter nearly block out the raging ocean surrounding them.
(End Flashback)
Grabbing the pillow for the second time Bella shoved it over her mouth just seconds before squealing out, "Oh my god Ali…" as every fiber of her being exploded in orgasmic pleasure as her lover's tongue sent her over the edge.
It had taken almost all of Bella's control to not to get lost in the desire to sink her teeth into Alice's neck the first time they made love. Her little pixie had thoroughly demonstrated she wasn't just gifted with psyche ability. Oh no, her lover definitely had exceptional mad skills in making Bella squirm, arch and feel sensations she had never experienced before. If she were still human Bella wasn't sure she wouldn't have passed out from sheer delight.
Tenderly Alice kissed, licked and touched her way back up Bella's body. She couldn't get enough of the girl who was still quivering from her last orgasm. Their lovemaking the first time had been tentative, a little bumbling but it was perfect as far as Alice was concerned. The second time around they found an unspoken rhythm and it was just as wonderful.
"Sweet, seductive Bella, you taste divine," she purred out before kissing her lovers waiting lips.
"The things you do to my dear pixie," Bella breathed out as she crushed the small woman to her. "This is going to sound so cliché but really never in my wildest dreams did I image such sensations."
Humming softly, "vampire senses enhance everything, I don't doubt that your human imagination no matter how vivid could truly capture this."
Smirking as she ran her fingers through the raven locks of her mate, "I seriously doubt my human body could have handled this either. You, my dear, are unbelievable."
"So are you," Alice twinkled out as she drew circles across Bella's stomach. "This is going to sound corny, but I'm glad the first time we made love was here in your room. So many of my memories of us together is here in your room and we're laughing, cuddling or just talking. It just seems right to continue the happiness."
"Corny or not, I agree," kissing her lover and adding silently. 'It also cleanses out any trace of Edward.'
"Of course that doesn't mean our time in Seattle won't be just as special. Besides, after doing a thorough exploration of your closet, while you and Gabi were gallivanting around, you my love our woeful lacking in outfits."
"Yeah, I admit my closet is rather bare," Bella began as she traced her fingers along her mate's back. "During my two years with Jake it wasn't easy for either of us. Neither of us could work, me for obvious reasons and Jake because he had to keep and eye on me so I wouldn't attack a human." Sighing softly, "I found vampires make very good thieves, what with our ability to move so fast. I only took clothes and the odd food items for Jake. It was the hardest thing I had to do but I had no choice."
Hearing the regret and guilt in her lover's voice, Alice moved so her eyes connected with Bella's, "you did nothing wrong my dear sweet angel. As you said you had no choice. You did what you had to do so you wouldn't harm others." Tenderly kissing the girl before continuing, "I was fortunate, I had Gabi and I became a part of the Goodwin family. Yet, if I was in your position I would've done the same thing to survive."
"Thank you love," kissing her mate. "And I'm eternally grateful to Gabi for taking care of you and keeping you safe."
"Me too." Alice smiled as she nestled back down resting her head on Bella's shoulder. "She, like you, is very important to me."
"Sooo you're no longer mad at Gabi for kidnapping me? Cause I gotta tell you whole going from one place to another in the blink of an eye was quite a rush."
"Nah, I forgave her the moment I had the vision of us together," Alice giggled out. "I just wanted to get back at her for being so sneaky. What with Conrad and her work with the Volturi I hardly ever have visions of her or our family and it can be quite nerve racking."
The notion that Alice wasn't able to have visions of Gabriella or the family who took her in seemed so peculiar to Bella. She knew her little pixie's vision could be in flux depending on the person and the decisions they made but there was never a time she didn't have visions.
"What's so special about Conrad? I mean how can he influence you not having visions?"
As Alice shifted to a sitting position she provided Bella a charming view of her very distracting, 'I so want to suck, lick and make Alice moan with pleasure,' breasts. Pushing the urge down Bella forced her eyes to move upward from the lovely globes to the golden orbs that were sparkling with amusement.
"Gabi thinks it's because Conrad, like your friend Jake, is a shape shifter, something about them having a natural shield to my visions. She's not sure why, perhaps an automatic defensive mechanism against a natural enemy, much like when she can't teleport Conrad when he is in his wolf form."
"Wait, Conrad's a wolf? I thought, well I don't know what I thought," shaking her head in confusion. "I mean a vampire and a wolf? So her family they're not vampires?"
The raven haired beauty jingled with laughter, "no they're not. Gabi says the Goodwins are a variation to the Munsters without Herman, though Conrad certainly is tall enough to fit the bill." Alice smiled tenderly as she continued; "she rescued Conrad when he was a baby. He was the lone survivor of the Livington Massacre in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Sara is human but also a folk witch, we're not sure if Dani will be a shape shifter or not, she's still kind of young and then there's the mixed heritage."
"Wow," Bella murmured moving to sit up. She was completely gobsmacked. The whole idea of that mixture being a family was hard for her brain to wrap around. "That's just amazing. I gotta say everything about Gabi is knocking my mind for a loop. I mean first time I saw her I wondered, silly as it sounds, how much heat was she packing under her duster."
"Not to far off actually. Conrad told me a week after the massacre Commander Livington was found dead in his quarters shot by his own gun. It was deemed a suicide but," Alice added quietly. "Gabi is very protective and can be very vengeful."
"Gun? Why on earth would she use a gun to kill someone? Ali we're vampires we don't need such things, especially against humans." Bella protested at the idea. She had never seen the Cullens or any other vampire use a weapon. 'Okay I've only seen three others but still…'
Shrugging her shoulders, "she says it goes back to being a backwoods girl but I don't know if that's the full story. I know she carries knives in the shaft of her boots."
Any further questions Bella might've asked were halted as she watch Alice's get that distant glazed appearance in her eyes when she was having a vision. The frown that appeared on her pixie's face was not reassuring to Bella, especially when Alice's lips thinned out and her expression became rigid.
"Ali, honey what did you see?"
"Gabi is in the woods alone, hunting," came the terse reply. "She…ooh…" Alice broke out in a growl. "I'm going to tan her hide for taking unnecessary chances." Jumping off the bed and zipping to the closet mumbling the whole time, "she knew I wouldn't notice…gah…probably thinks its funny…stupid prideful vampire."
Biting her lip to keep the laughter wanting to pop out of her mouth, Bella hopped off the bed and followed after Alice.
(In the forest also early morning)
Standing alone wearing only a thin dark blue tank top and black jeans that were tucked into knee high soft black leather boots, Gabriella had her arms wide open and her head tilted back with a small grin gracing her lips. A cool moisture laden fog had enveloped the surrounding area. The tall woman loved the thick coating of mist because it felt like she was wrapped in a warm liquid blanket that had been washed by the ocean. She was feeling almost giddy, like a truant schoolgirl as she stood there feeling the moist air collect in her short mahogany locks.
Gabriella had slipped out of the Swan's home without being detected. Charlie was still sound asleep and Bella was keeping Alice occupied in her bedroom.
'Thanks be to raging libidos.' Allowing a quiet chuckle to escape her lips and break the silence. 'There'll probably be hell to be pay once my petite one realizes I've snuck out. She's just as bad as Sara with all the fussing.'
In the past when she had been injured she would put up with a few hours of mollycoddling from her family as her injuries healed, but days of being cared for was starting to drive her mad. She knew it was her vampire ego, the beast inside of her clawing at the idea of needing help from those she was suppose to protect.
'But at least that issue is resolving,' she thought bringing her head forward and giving it a quick shake dispersing water droplets from her hair. Opening her eyes, she smiled she was finally able to see somewhat distinctive shapes instead of absolutely nothing. 'Finally no worries about embarrassing myself by running into a tree.'
Chortling Gabriella grabbed her black duster she had draped on a tree branch and started moving through the forest. She was not traveling as fast as she would've liked but at least she was free to move without help.
She was, in a round about manner, on her way to see the Cullens. Her upcoming visit had nothing to do with the investigation that the Volturi had sent her on.
'Which is likely, wild goose chase like the one Emil and Katrina are on but at least I didn't get their assignment, I mean the Congo for fuck sakes, what is Aro and his silly brothers thinking?' Smirking as she moved around some fallen trees, 'they're getting way too paranoid in their dotage. Seeing threats and uprisings everywhere.'
No, she was going over to the Cullen's house at Esme's not Carlisle's request. Gabriella had almost declined but the woman's voice had such a soft pleading sound that she caved in almost immediately.
'Yep, that's me, enforcer for the Volturi, vampire killer and I get all goofy soft because of unshed tears over the phone, nonetheless.' She chuckled to herself. 'But the Cullens aren't on the agenda just yet, it is time feed the need and it smells like elk is on the menu this morning.'
With ease and quickness Gabriella darted around the shadowy shapes of trees and rocks as she followed the scent of her next meal.
It didn't take her long to find the small herd, their musky smell was quite enticing causing venom to coat her mouth. Inhaling deeply, Gabriella knew she was not the only predator stalking the grazing group before her. The scent of a mountain lion was nearby. Having another hunting her prey made the hackles on the back of her neck stand up and a soft growl slipped from her mouth.
The mountain lion raised his head as it heard Gabriella's warning growl. Perhaps on a different day it might have heeded the warning immediately but this lion wasn't a happy kitty. Its butt was still sore from the whack it had received two days ago. The scent it was picking up from Gabriella was similar to the creature that had sent it tumbling. Staying perfectly still the tawny beast contemplated challenging the interloper for the tasty treat they wanted, but in the end self-preservation won out. With a rumble of acquiesce the big cat padded away from the herd and the more potent threat to its survival.
Hearing the soft footpad of the lion leaving and it's grumbling, Gabriella gave a feral grin and focused her attention back on the herd. She had already picked out the elk she wanted, a young female who had moved away from the main herd. With one final whiff, the tall woman vanished from her spot and was on top of the unsuspecting elk in seconds. As she sunk her teeth into the female's neck she twisted its head before it could even give out a bugle of pain.
The rest of the herd bounded off in the same direction as the mountain lion once Gabriella's scent along with the smell of blood reached their nostrils. As she feasted on the warm blood Gabriella heard a disgruntled yowl from the mountain lion and she would have laughed if her mouth weren't otherwise occupied.
(Time Shift)
Having sated her thirst on a large bull elk, Gabriella had meandered through the woods as the fog lifted until she came upon a small lake with a waterfall. Unable to deny temptation she quickly stripped out of her clothes and dove in to inviting water. Vampires didn't need to exercise but Gabriella enjoyed the feel of the resistance the water provided her as she swam. Swimming down until her feet touched the bottom, she planted her feet firmly; bending at the knees she pushed off with all her might and went soaring to the surface. Rocketing out of the water she felt exhilarated and for a moment she pictured herself being a bird flying.
"Gabriella Christmas Goodwin, what the hell do you think you're doing!"
Hearing the chastisement in Alice's voice, the taller woman cringed inwardly and almost flubbed pulling out of her summersault before hitting her reentry into the lake. As her fingers touched the bottom she ponder if staying there might be a worthwhile plan because it never boded well when her full name was called out. Yeah she could take on a newborn without a hint of trepidation but the wrath of one of her loved ones, well that was a different story all together.
Releasing a blow of air she displaced the water near face and swam slowly, human pace, upwards. After she broke the surface Gabriella shook her head releasing water from her hair and wiped her eyes clear. She could hear the tapping of Alice's foot on the forest floor. Chuckling, Gabriella could just picture her petite one, arms crossed, glaring at her, dressed in her designer clothes and wearing her improbable high-heel shoes. The shoes of course were from some famous designer who would have turned apoplectic at the idea that their creation was touching dirt.
Gabriella's image of Alice was spot on, right down to the high-heeled boots with her right foot tapping the ground as she waited for the older vampire to answer her. For her part, Bella was dressed in designer clothes, courtesy of Alice but her footwear was a nice pair of hiking boots.
Unlike her pixie Bella found the whole thing amusing as well as astounding. When the two had arrived at the small lake she couldn't fathom why the two were just standing there staring at the body of water. Then Gabriella's ivory body shot out of the water and Bella knew her breath would have been stolen away if she were still human. It was gorgeous watching the lithe body sail towards the sky.
"Gabi I'm waiting," Alice announced as she watched her friend turn towards them.
"And impatiently at that," came the mumbled response but then more brightly. "I'm skinny dipping my dear and you two are more then welcomed to join me." Grinning and waggling her eyebrows she added, "I promise not to look at your gorgeous bodies."
"Don't get cheeky with me, what are you doing out here by yourself? You could've been hurt, attacked and I wouldn't have reached you in time." A near sob sound escaped from Alice's lips surprising her as much as the other two women.
"Ah, fuck me sideways into Tuesday," Gabriella said as she darted out of the water. Seeing the small blur launch towards her, Gabriella braced for the impact and felt Alice crush her arms and legs around her. "I'm so sorry my petite one."
"I just found Bella, I can't lose you," Alice sobbed into the older woman's neck.
"Shhh, it's alright love. I didn't mean to worry you."
"Ali, it's alright Gabi's fine baby," Bella crooned as she rubbed her lover's back.
"Darling, I'm sorry for being selfish, it's just my eyes are better this morning, I can see shapes and I just had to get out, I had to run, hunt I knew I wouldn't get hurt." She cooed at the younger woman. "My dear Alice you know logically I can always teleport from trouble."
Sniffling, "I know I'm being silly," her words muffled. "It's…I was just so mad and so scared."
Running her fingers through Alice's spiky hair, "silly yes but adorably so and to be honest I am quite maddening." Kissing the younger woman's head, "and I am truly sorry for scaring you."
"I'd make you promise not to do it again but I know that would be useless," sighing into the woman's neck. Leaning her head back her golden eyes a darker hue as she stared at her friend, "I'm still tempted to turn you over on my knee spank your butt for what you did."
Covering her mouth, Bella suppressed the giggle wanting to emerge from the image of the five foot ten inch woman being spanked by her four foot eight inch pixie.
"Hmmm, that is a rather enticing offer but I'm not really into the whole S&M scene. I do have a few sexual mores much to Jane's disappoint." Smiling deeply, "now bondage if done correctly can be quite delightful."
"Oh shut up," slapping the woman's shoulder Alice said before releasing her hold and hopping down to the ground. "And get dressed, I think Bella's seen enough of your nakedness."
As Alice slipped off the tall woman Bella's saw up close the myriad of scars that decorated Gabriella's body. Out of reflux she let go a tiny gasp at seeing the marred ivory skin. She was sure if she were still human she still would've noticed the large scar that webbed across the woman's back and torso. It was like gawking at a train wreck, Bella found she couldn't tear her eyes away as she followed the intricate patterns it produced across the woman's skin.
Grabbing her discarded clothes Gabriella began to get dressed, "admittedly my nude body does take some getting use."
Casting her eyes towards Bella, Alice felt a small frown twitch at her lips; she was about to chastise Bella for staring but stopped herself, when she saw her lover duck her head from embarrassment. Taking Bella's hand into her small one she squeezed it reassuringly.
Pulling on her jeans Gabriella gave a mischievous grin before continuing. "It is after all a spectacular piece of art. Firm breasts, rock hard abs, buns of steel, legs to die for," rubbing her chin and tilting her head back. "Hmmm and I did, who needs fucking Boflex." Chuckling deeply as she slipped her tank top on.
Chiming with laughter Alice gave the older vampire a hug dragging Bella forward in the processes, "you are unbelievable."
Encircling the two smaller women with her arms she added with a smirk, "and scintillating let's not forget that."
Though she was still embarrassed Bella fell into the strong hug, knowing Gabriella wasn't upset by her reaction and was using her humor to relay that fact. Suddenly she felt the older woman's body stiffen and a few seconds later she realized why.
"What is that horrendous smell?" Alice growled out as she broke from the embrace her nose wrinkling in disgust.
"It's Sam and his pack," Bella grumbled out.
"Conrad doesn't smell like wet dog shit." The smaller vampire complained as she pinched her nose.
Turning to where the scent was coming from Gabriella frowned, "the smell the wolves emit has a lot to do with maturity, attitude and location. Conrad's scent has mellowed with age and his people were from a drier climate."
Bella and Alice lips curled back as they watched Sam along with Paul, Embry and Jared emerged first strutting into the clearing, followed shortly by a more reluctant Jacob, Quil, Seth and Leah.
Keeping a hand on each girl's shoulder, Gabriella just stood there quietly watching the tall shadows more closer towards them She was well aware of the unpredictability of young wolves and the scent coming off of three of them made her very leery.
