A/N- Hey everyone! Sorry this took so long to update! I wasn't even sure if I was going to get it out now, but I managed. I've had so much going on this weekend that I was barely able to get some of my homework done and now I have a midterm in my social psych class… I hope you guys enjoy!

James' attitude and actions were becoming more and more anxious. He would jump when I touched him and he almost never wanted to talk about it. When he did I'm sure he was lying, claiming that he was just thinking about where we were going next. He knew I didn't believe him, but he never changed his story.

Last night he had rented a room at one of the nicer lodges. It felt nice to relax in a comfy bed and watch TV. We haven't done that since the last time we were in Denali. Then he got up, said he needed to go hunt, even though we had gone the day before. So here I am, awake and nothing to do. Most of the morning has already passed and I've just spent it watching the sun climb the sky. A knocking on the door surprised me and brought me back to life.

"Yes?" I asked. I knew it wasn't James. He had a key, he wouldn't have needed to knock…

"This was dropped at the desk." A young man said. His hands were shaking as he handed me a box with an envelope on top. I accepted the box and told him a quick goodbye as I handed him a tip. He told me it had already been covered and left. I watched him walk down the hall before shrugging it off and opening the letter.

Cerys

I know you've been wondering what's been going on with me. Tonight you will find out why.

Inside is a dress, please where it. There is a car downstairs that will be taking you to the hotel's spa. Enjoy yourself today and just relax. You should be back at the hotel by 4. At 6 o'clock there will be a car downstairs. They know where to go. Just enjoy the ride. I'll see you tonight.

James

I opened the box to find a black dress. It had a beaded strap on the left shoulder while the rest of it was straight black. I smiled as I held it up to myself. I did a small twirl before setting it back down. I changed my clothes and grabbed my wallet before heading out.

Sure enough, a black car was sitting under the awning of the hotel. The driver got out and opened the door for me, helping me slide into the seat. It seemed like forever till he opened his door and started driving, but of course I wasn't used to the normal human speed. The drive it self didn't take very long. The spa must have only been down the road it seemed so short.

"Miss…" The driver said, shaking me from my reverie. He helped me out and I walked into the building he was parked in front of. A young man opened the door and smiled politely as I walked in. Two women were behind the counter and smiled brightly as I walked up.

"Hi, I believe I have an appointment or reservation…" I said. I leaned slightly over the counter and tried to look down at the pad.

"Your first room has already been set up." One of the women said. She walked out from behind the counter and led me down the hall. She opened the door to a room with marble floors and tiled walls. In the center sat a large tub of mud. "Jessica will be in to help you get situated."

"Thank you." I said as the woman nodded and closed the door behind her. I slowly stripped before stepping into the cold mud. Within a few minutes another girl walked in and applied a face mask. She left as soon as she was done and I just let me body completely relax.

After the mud bath I was led to another room where they had a mini-salon. A middle aged woman was talking to another stylist, but stopped and walked over to greet me. "Hello, my name is Dixy. I'll be doing your hair today."

"Um, ok." I said. She led me over to the chair and ran her hands through my hair.

"Your hair seems quite healthy and beautiful. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do with it?"

"I'm not really sure…"

"Wait, o, I know what I'm supposed to do for you. I completely forgot about the order."

"Order?" I asked.

"Your… husband?"

"Boyfriend." I corrected.

"Yes, well he asked me to not cut your hair, but to style it. This shouldn't take very long. He had an easy vision to accomplish." Dixy said. She patted my shoulder and showed me to where they had some of the sinks so she could wash my hair.

In about thirty minutes my hair was straightened with a few tight curls resting on top. The front bangs had been cut so they were still long, but angled. A few strands swept in front of my eyes while the rest just blended in with the rest of my hair. Dixy was smiling happily as she led me over to a woman who was supposed to do my nails.

There was already a dark blue nail polish on the stand. Immediately the woman started working on a manicure while another woman came over and started working on a pedicure. Both women were quick and efficient at their job. They both smiled and led me back to the front desk.

"We hope you've enjoyed yourself." One of the women behind the counter said.

"I have, very much." I replied.

"I believe the car that dropped you off should be back within a minute or two. We just called them."

"Thank you." I said. "I'm guessing everything's been taken care of?"

"Of course." The two women smiled brightly. I didn't want to know how much James had to spend for all of this and for them to be smiling like that. I was about to take a seat when the same car that had brought me here pulled up. I walked out and slid into the backseat with all of the grace being a vampire gave me.

When I got back to the hotel I noticed I had some time still before I had to be downstairs. I was getting ansy. This was so unlike James. We were nomads… we didn't spend our time or money in spas and hotels. We would rather run and hike in the mountains than drive through them. James had something planned and for the life of me I could not figure it out!

oOoOoOo

I was downstairs dressed in the dress that James had given me before 6 o'clock. My hair had held rather well and none of the paint on my nails had chipped. The car had been exchanged for a limo, but it was still the same driver.

"Miss." He smiled as he helped me in. I smiled in return as he shut the door. This time the drive did take a bit longer. I watched as trees disappeared into plains and then returned. Finally we stopped. There were small lights decorating a path that led through the trees.

The driver had just parked the car when my door was open. "Cerys…" James whispered. He helped me out and pulled me close to him. "Thank you Jonathon."

"Sir." The driver smiled before getting back in and driving away.

"James, what's going on?" I asked. "This… this isn't like you."

"I thought tonight deserved to be special." He whispered. I looked at him quizzically, but he just backed up and spun me around. "You look more beautiful than I thought you would in that dress."

"It is a lovely dress. Your taste in style is amazing." I said.

"Alice Cullen helped a bit, but I had the final word." James shrugged. "I don't know about you, but I'd rather not stand on the side of the road. I don't want any men to be thinking they could come and rescue such a lovely lady as yourself."

"Rescue? I wouldn't want to be rescued right now by anyone." I replied. James just grinned and pulled me through the trees. Of course I had to manage in heels. That wasn't a very smart idea, but I didn't say anything. James led me to a platform that overlooks some of the hot springs and geysers.

I tried to take in everything. The steam rose from the hot water into the multicolored sky. The small lights covered the rails and dew glistened on the top of the wood. "James, this is beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it." He whispered into my ear. I felt him leave, just to return to me a few seconds later. He already had us swaying to the music before it even started to play. A light piano echoed through the evening air, surrounding us. We spent what felt like hours just dancing and holding each other.

"James… I love this and all, but this is… this is so unlike you. What's going on?" I asked. I was still nervous that something big was going to happen. I wasn't sure what the outcome was going to be, but I could feel the change coming, whether I liked it or not. I just hoped James would be next to me.

"No one has ever been able to regain their ties after Chelsea severs them. I've asked Carlisle and some other vampires. No one has heard of what happened with us." James paused.

"James, what are you talking about? Why are you bringing this up?" I asked

"No one has been able to regain the ties Chelsea cut because no one she's cut has had their love still alive. Aro usually has the guard kill them. It was my love for you and knowing you were still out there that brought me back to reality. Cerys, what I'm trying to say is that I love you."

"I love you too. James, your confession is beautiful and all, but…" James held a finger to my lips to stop me.

"I know we've already confessed our true feelings. Cerys, I brought you here and had you pampered because… because I want to know…" James kneeled down and I gasped. My hands now came up to cover my mouth in surprise. "Cerys, will you marry me? Will you be my wife?" James opened a small black box. Inside the box, there was a gold band with a single diamond in it.

"Yes!" I screamed. I knew if I could still form tears I'd be crying." I wrapped my arms around James as he stood back up. James returned the bug, but pulled my left hand down. He slid the ring onto my finger and then kissed it.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I replied. I pulled his head down and kissed him. "So what, do we have all of this to ourselves?"

"Of course. It's all ours for the night." James grinned.

"Well then… the woman who did my hair put a few products in it. I wouldn't mind washing it out."

"That's all you're planning on?" James asked. I smiled and trailed my hand across his chest as I started walking to the edge of the platform. I slid the strap of my dress of and let it fall to the ground. I turned back around and met James' lust filled gaze with my own as I slipped out of my shoes.

"That depends…" I shrugged.

"On what?" James growled. He had become the hunter that I had fallen in love with instantly. His stance took on that of a predator ready to jump out and capture its prey.

"Depends on if you're going to stand there all night." I replied before jumping over the edge and scurrying into the water. I jumped in, letting the scalding water surround me. It felt like I was on fire, but then calmed down to just being a warm bath. I hadn't broken the surface when I felt James' arms circle around me and bring me back up. He was smiling when I broke the surface and I returned it. "So now you're down here… what are you going to do?"

"Hm… I think you missed some mud." James growled. While one hand held me up to him, the other started to snake down lower and lower. As his hand traveled south, my head fell back in anticipation of the pleasure. I knew it was coming, but I still nearly screamed when James' fingers entered me. It didn't take James very long to bring me to my climax. I screamed out, scaring some of the wildlife I'm sure, as James brought me over the edge.

I gasped for breath even though I didn't need it. I rested on the edge of the hot spring. James rolled over me, his arousal pressing into my thigh and only making my stomach start to tighten once more. My hand roamed up his chest and wrapped around his neck. I pulled him down and our lips met as he thrust into me. We moaned together at the contact.

James gripped the sides of the spring as my hands clawed at his back. My head was thrown back in pleasure while James' was occupied with kissing and suckling my neck. I screamed as I came, shortly followed my James. As he came he bit down on the flesh between my neck and shoulder, forcing me into another climax. James thrust into me a few more times before pulling out. He rolled us over so now he was resting on the side of the pool while I rested on top of him.

"That was…" I couldn't find a word to describe it.

"I understand… trust me… I know." James replied. I kissed his neck and nipped lightly at the skin.

"How long do we have here?"

"Jonathon will be back with the car right after sunrise." James replied.

"So we have all night?"

"Yup."

"And you paid everyone to keep quiet and not tell the rangers… didn't you?"

"No, the rangers know we're out here. They were just told… well persuaded not to come out here until the morning." James replied.

"So it's me and you… alone… all night."

"Exactly." James replied. I grinned.

"Well then, I want to make good use of my time with my fiancé." James groaned at the promise as I slammed my lips onto his.
