Meus Dulce Angelus – Chapter 20 – Temptations

AN – Can't believe this story is up to chapter 20! I'd like to thank everyone who's read and reviewed this story, without you this probably wouldn't have gotten past chapter 2. As this is an important milestone, a picture taken by one of my friends which she told me I should 'put on that writing website' is now on my profile (at the bottom). Go have a look if you're interested.

Temptations

A POV
Once again my precious daughter slept for a week. Not once did Felix leave her side, for a while we sat together and talked. He gushed over how amazing and beautiful she is and I agreed with him. Every so often she would writhe and cry out. Felix and I did our best to comfort her.

'Hey, hey it's gonna be okay, you'll make it through this.'

'He's right filia, you're being so strong. Everyone is so proud of you.'

'I love you.'

He kissed the top of her head.

F POV
I saw Aro smile at me when I kissed her head and I smiled back.

'You're perfect for each other.'

I was very glad to have Aro's blessing, I had worried that he would think I wasn't good enough for her. She moved in her sleep and suddenly her leg was resting on my inner thigh. An inner voice sprang up in my head.

Control yourself Felix.

Suddenly everything felt a lot more intense. Her warm breath on my skin, her long, dark eyelashes fluttering against my neck, her perfect fucking breasts pressed against my chest. That and her leg on my thigh... I groaned when I felt my arousal become obvious.

Well Done Felix.

Aro noticed.

'I'm sorry, it's just... she's so... perfect. And beautiful.'

'Felix I understand, you're a man, it's perfectly normal.'

He sighed.

'You do realise... after what happened... she might not want to...'

'I know, I would never do anything to hurt her, anything she didn't want me to do.'

'Good, would you like me to hold her for a while?'

'That might be best.'

He took her gently into his arms and I sat up.

'If I may make a suggestion Felix, I think you should go and talk to your family. Your brothers and sisters must be missing you.'

I agreed and left to find Demitri.

'Felix! I thought you'd eloped to Peru!'

Dem's attempt at humour made me realise how much I'd missed him. I pulled him into a one-armed hug.

'Fuckin' missed you bro.'

'Missed you too Fix.'

'I'm sorry; I shouldn't have just left you but... Bella needs me.'

'It's okay bro; remember what I was like when me and Heidi first got together?'

Those two had been locked up in their room for months.

'How many beds did you break again?'

'1208.'

He looked kinda embarrassed until Heidi appeared out of nowhere.

'Fancy making it 1209?'

He grinned and left with her. I spent the rest of the day just hanging out with the boys, it was a nice but I still thought of Bella. What if she was dying right now and I wasn't there? She was extremely unstable which made it hard to relax. When the worry got too much I made my excuses and went to her chambers. I heard Carlisle's voice.

'Your body might reject food but we could try giving you some. It would help your body heal.'

'Okay then, I might as well try.'

'I'll see what I can do.'

He smiled and nodded at me when he passed me in the corridor. I peeked in to see Aro holding her and talking softly to her.

'I know that despite how happy you are with Felix you're still in a lot of pain, you don't have to lie about that.'

'I just don't want to get in the way... Oh angelus everything hurts, talking, moving, even breathing.'

'Oh filia... don't talk if it hurts you, and stay still if it helps. We'll find a way.'

'Can you make it stop?'

The sadness and vulnerability in her voice made her sound like a frightened child. That sentence broke the heart of everyone who heard it. Aro held her closer to him and rocked her carefully. He didn't answer her. I entered the room and sat on the bed.

'Filia I have to go, Felix will look after you.'

He left and she started to move towards me. Instantly I went to her.

'Hey, don't move, I don't want anything to hurt you even more.'

She smiled and we kissed. We spent a long time just kissing; occasionally she would touch my neck or run her hands over my chest. I tried to keep my hands on her waist but eventually they slid down to her hips. We broke apart slowly.

'Can we lie down? It's more comfortable.'

I carefully lay her down and as I was moving to lie down next to her my hand accidently skimmed across her thigh. She jumped and curled up into a tiny ball. I held my hands out in front of me.

'Bella, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, it was just an accident. I'm not going to hurt you.'

'No, I'm sorry. I overreacted. I trust you Felix.'

She uncurled herself and I wrapped my arms around her.

'I'm glad.'

We kissed again. It felt right, like we'd been doing it all our lives yet each kiss was still special and mind-blowing. I was stroking her hair when Aro and Carlisle walked in.

'Hello Bella, I've got some good news.'

I helped her sit up.

'We've found something that could, and it is only a possibility, but it could help with the pain.'

She just stared at him looking shocked.

'It wouldn't act as a painkiller as such, more like a stimulant. A very, very powerful stimulant that may lessen the impact of the venom.'

'What exactly is it?'

'A mixture of several complex medicines, it's hard to explain. But none of them could have any serious side effects, the most there could be is mild nausea or headaches.'

She nodded.

'Okay, I want to try it.'

'I think it would be good for you to sleep before you take it, it would help it to work more effectively.'

It felt like I'd had hardly any time with her, it's not fair. I had to voice my thoughts.

'But she's only just woken up again; I've only just got to spend some more time with her.'

She kissed me.

'I know it's not fair that I have to be asleep for so long but if this works...'

She frowned and reminded us all of the pain she was enduring.

'I can't live like this Fix, it hurts so much.'

'I understand, I shouldn't be so selfish.'

Aro spoke from across the room.

'That's not selfish at all. Of course you want to spend time with your mate.'

She smiled at me.

'Stay with me?'

'Always.'

AN – So did you enjoy the 20th chapter? Just a little review would be lovely. I have some exciting (I hope) news to share soon.
