Carlisle, Bella, and the Cullen clan

Carlisle POV

I can't believe it! I think Bella wants me the same way I want her, but I shouldn't do anything about it. She is so young. I know the legal age of consent in the state of Washington is 16 but this girl seems so innocent. What will Charlie think; he is the only real human friend I have. I have colleagues here at the hospital but I don't relate to them the way I do Charlie. We have become friends the last couple years since we moved to Forks. I like Charlie he a good, fair man, but would he be able to accept me as a suitor for his daughter? I'm a divorced man with adopted children her age and older. I was 23 when I was changed I'm passing as 28 now. I don't look much older than Bella and no one could love her more or keep her safer than me. I will just have to convince Charlie.

Alice came dancing into my room telling everyone to leave that she has work to do. She was going to get me out of that horrible hospital rag and into something decent. Charlie left saying he would see me tomorrow, if I need him he would be a phone call away. Carlisle left and my heart sank, the room seemed dark and cold without him. He did promise to be back before I went to sleep.

Alice was Alice, dancing around the room. She took the clothes she brought me for tomorrow out of the bag a green v-neck sweater that looked like it would hug all my curves and look pretty sexy if I do say so myself. She also brought a black short (I mean short) skirt and knee boots with 4" heels, I think she is trying to kill me. I'm such a klutz I can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. The gown she brought me was a green gauzy, clingy thing cut low in the front and showed everything I had but still wasn't slutty. I was embarrassed at first then Alice looked at me with her knowing eyes and said, "If Carlisle can keep his hands off you with this on then he doesn't deserve you."

"Alice!"

"Oh Bella, it is as plain as the nose on your face that you and Carlisle have the hots for each other. I think it's great, so does Edward, we talked to Jasper, Rose, and Emmett and they are all for it, too. Even Esme is excited for you all. She has worried about Carlisle for years, decades even if he would find his one true love, his soul mate. He needs someone; he is a good man and has a lot to offer the right woman. The right woman is you."

"You think I'm the right woman for him? Wait a minute! You talked to Esme about me? She left Carlisle, divorced him, why does her opinion count?"

Carlisle and Esme were never married. Esme and Edward have always been together. That is why Edward doesn't date girls at school. Carlisle and Esme only pretended to be married to adopt us. She and Edward are soul mates just like Jasper and I and Rose and Em, we were all meant to be together. When you see them together you will understand, age isn't a factor, love the heart is what matters. Edward was very lonely for a long time before Esme, they complete each other.:"

"What do you a long time? Edward is only 17, right?"

"It is a long story and now isn't the time. I'm just asking you to have an open mind, Bella. I already love you and think of you as my sister. I'm glad Edward and I were able to protect you today."

"What do you mean? You talk like you knew this was going to happen. What is going on here?"

"Bella remember what I said about an open mind. I can see the future and I'm always right unless something happens, someone changes their mind to change it. Edward can read minds, we are gifted."

"Edward reads minds, you mean he knows what I was thinking all this time?" I panic. "Oh God, I will die of embarrassment if he tells Carlisle what I was thinking."

"You are the one exception to Edward's gift. He can't read you. He gets nothing but silence when he tries to read you. But Bella, it's not hard to tell what you were thinking about Carlisle. MY daddy is sex on legs and I know it. The nurses almost spontaneously combust when he walks by. I can admit most women think he's a dilf."

OMG! I think Alice can read my mind now. My face is red and I am almost hyperventilating when Alice puts her hand on my arm.

"Please listen to Carlisle and don't judge us. Remember Carlisle is crazy about you. He was having some pretty hot thoughts about you earlier. And Edward can read Carlisle, which is why he had to leave, he had to get to Esme, it was killing him hearing Carlisle's thoughts. To be honest I don't think I have ever seen Edward so horny. But Carlisle will never do anything to disrespect you or hurt you. He does love you, I'll let him explain but please keep an open mind and heart Bella. Oh and by the way, Carlisle is coming to see you right now and he isn't going to be able to resist you in that gown. Please love him back, he deserves the best and you are what is best for him/ I'll see you later Bella, I love you, Sis." And Alice was gone so fast I didn't even see her leave.

Carlisle comes through the door and when he sees me his eyes go very dark with desire and he rushes across the room to me. I can tell he wants to hold me as much as I want him too. I stand up and step closer to him and put my arms around his waist his arms encircle me. I look up at him as he looks down at me, our eyes meet and then our lips do.. His lips are hard and cold but gentle. I never want this kiss to end, his tongue brushes my lower lip asking for entrance I open my lips and our tongues begin to dance. He pulls away saying, :Bella, this is wrong, I shouldn't take advantage of you like this. But you are so beautiful and irresistible I can't help myself.. I want you, I want to lay you down and bury myself in you. I want to hear you scream my name as you climax over and over again. But I can't you are too young and innocent and there is so much about me that you don't know."

"Why don't you explain to me and let me decide for myself, Carlisle. I don't know how or why but I know I love you and I want to be with you forever. One lifetime will not be enough and I want to hear you scream my name as I bring you to your climax. I want to feel you inside me and to be with you in every way possible."

"Bella, you don't know what a life with me will involve. It is not fair to ask you to deal with it. It isn't the life I want for you."

"Explain it to me, I have an open mind and an open heart and I can't think of any better way to spend tonight than listening to you, unless it would be making love to you. But I don't think you are going to do that even though I want you more that life itself. Please Carlisle."

"Bella, I will never be able to say no to you. Put your robe on and we will go to my office to talk more privately and we will be undisturbed. I just have to keep my hands off you long enough to tell you everything."

"Carlisle you will never have to keep your hand off me, in fact I have a few places I can suggest you put them, if you would like."

Carlisle just laughs as we walk to his office keeping a respectable distance between us. The nurses we meet smile at him and glare at me as I want to growl at them and tell them," MINE!"
