Pleasant Surprise – PART EIGHT

The morning after Bella's brief conversation with Rosalie was slow, languid even, exactly how a Sunday was supposed to be. Bella woke alone in sheets that smelt of her lover, and it was with reluctance that she pulled herself out of her warm bed and made an appearance downstairs.
She ate her pancakes while speaking with Carmen and Esme, before excusing herself to join Tanya, Irina and Rosalie in the living room where they were talking quietly and skimming through magazines advertising the latest fashion releases the world had to offer. She snuggled up under her girlfriend's arm and closed her eyes, remaining silent until Jasper and Alice made themselves known.
Alice basically skipped into the room with a broad smile on her face, kissing each of the women on the cheek and joining her sister on the couch. It was surprising how happy that woman could be.
Jasper took a seat on the sofa chair and murmured his good mornings with a polite smile, opting also to remain out of their conversation on clothing just like Bella. Great minds think alike, after all.
"You look much more refreshed this morning than you did yesterday." Jasper observed gently, a teasing glint in his golden eyes as Bella looked over at him. She grinned.
"I feel much more refreshed too," The brunette gave the male vampire a subtle wink. "Sex is the key. Sex and sleep."
Jasper chuckled, his eyes dancing toward his wife lovingly before settling back on the human tucked under Tanya's arm. Both Tanya and Alice were oblivious to their mate's conversation as they were too engrossed in their own, speaking at a speed that Bella could barely understand. She would've found it rude any other day, but she couldn't blame her lover since she was excited to be talking fashion with the two women who were, apart from herself and Irina, probably the most interested and well-informed.
"I wouldn't know about the sleep part, I'm afraid. It's strange really, to feel your emotions while you sleep. You humans are so at peace, and I find myself basking in it after Alice and I have finished making love." The last part he admitted with a sheepish grin.
"That's a bit creepy Jasper, especially for you." Bella grinned. She wasn't in the least bit bothered even though she probably should've been. "But I suppose I can't blame you. Sleeping is...well there's no way to describe it really. That's something I'll really miss when I decide to be changed."
"It's not so bad, there's more time to do other things." This time it was Jasper's turn to wink. Bella giggled. For a moment neither said anything and it was then that they realised the others had stopped talking.
Slowly Bella turned her head, blushing as soon as she noticed the three sets of eyes on both her and Jasper. Tanya was practically leering at her with dark eyes.
"Don't you worry, honey. You won't have time to miss sleep once I've changed you, you'll be far too preoccupied with other things." When the blonde's lips met Bella's own, she definitely couldn't deny it. Tanya would keep her pleasantly busy during her nights as an immortal.
A purr rumbled in the blonde's chest as her lover's hands wound into her hair, tugging her against her lips more firmly, opening her mouth eagerly to the vampire. A throat cleared and reluctantly the pair pulled away, smiling as the brunette snuggled back into her arms with a sigh.
"If there's more of that, I think I can handle it."
It was Rosalie, apparently, that had been the one to clear her throat. She smiled a small smile and continued to flip through the magazine in her hand.
"You two are so sweet, it's kind of sickening." She stated with a quirk to her eyebrow, gold eyes travelling over the two from above the item in her hand. "I'm not used to it."
"What? You thought I'd be as reserved as your brother had been?" Tanya raised an eyebrow upward in confusion. "I've had plenty of practice with humans Rose, you know that. More so than Edward, who may I remind you, hasn't had any."
"I never thought that, I'm just not used to it is all. I think you both make a lovely lesbian couple."
A frown marred the other blonde's beautiful face, "Would it hurt to leave out the lesbian part? I don't understand why people can't simply say 'lovely couple'. Our relationship is no different to a heterosexual one."
The brunette sighed as she was completely frustrated with the way this conversation was going. Judging by the shocked look on Rosalie's face, she hadn't meant her words to sound the way they had. This wasn't the first time Tanya had over-analysed someone's comment toward them and it surely wouldn't be the last.
Patting her lover's hand, Bella then entwined her fingers with the vampire's, "She didn't mean it like that Tan. Play nice, nobody wants another argument."
With a quiet chuckle Jasper nodded in agreement, "She's right Tanya, listen to your girlfriend."
She glowered in response, even going as far as to remove her arm from Bella and cross them over her chest, pouting in the most adorably stubborn way. That was the brunette's opinion at least.
"Whatever. If people don't want to suffer my wrath then they should just quit going out of their way to make our relationship seem lesser than their own. Not everybody likes penis."
Nobody spared their laughs at that comment and that only served to intensify the pout on the vampire's face.
"Come on Tanya, you aren't very convincing. You of all people know how good that feels, so quit saying otherwise." With a cheeky grin Alice hopped off the couch and sauntered over to her husband, kissing his lips lovingly as she sat across his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You lesbo's are missing out."
"Meh, I don't think so. Men aren't that good and pussy tastes better anyways, especially Bella's."
"Okay, I love you and all but that's more than I need and want to hear." Alice scrunched her nose up and stuck her tongue out with a shudder. "Seriously, I couldn't ever imagine doing that."
Bella laughed, "That's because you aren't gay, so of course you wouldn't desire putting your mouth there." She turned her amused brown eyes onto Jasper, ignoring the fact that his hands were placed possessively around the small vampire's body. "What about you Jasper? I bet you love Alice's."
If it were possible Alice would've blushed if her bashful expression was anything to go by. Jasper chuckled throatily.
"Why a gentlemen never speaks of those things, especially in front of such fine ladies."
"That's a yes!" Irina giggled, "And by the lustful glaze in Alice's eyes, she definitely likes receiving it!"
"Oh, shut up all of you." She grumbled good-naturedly, laying her head on Jasper's shoulder as she did.
Rosalie closed her magazine and looked thoughtful for a moment, absentmindedly twirling a strand of her hair with her thumb and forefinger.
"I can't say I'm a big fan, really. I mean don't get me wrong, Emmett is amazing in bed but his skills in that particular area are lacking somewhat." Bella looked over at the vampire speaking in disbelief. Emmett didn't know how to eat a woman out properly?
"What do you mean lacking? Hasn't he ever gotten you off with his mouth before?" Apparently Tanya was just as shocked, and when Rosalie shook her head, she couldn't help but laugh, "Seriously?"
"His mouth isn't his main attraction, but it would definitely be nice for him to get with the times a little."
"Jazzy can teach him, right baby?" Alice piped in, completely forgetting her embarrassment. All the women looked at her with amused grins which caused her to smile innocently in return. "What?"
"Not a thing." Irina turned to Jasper with a raised eyebrow, "What do you say, Jasper?"
"You can't explain those sorts of things and expect him to get it right. Not to mention, he's gonna be pissed when he finds out that we're talking about this behind his back." He reasoned, "Maybe you should watch some lesbian porn before having sex next time."
"Emmett and I both agree that shit's completely fake. I mean who moans like that, honestly?"
Irina switched her magazine with another one on the table, grinning cheekily as she did so.
"He could always sit in on Tanya and Bella one night. I hear Bella has an amazing tongue...very flexible."
Tanya growled at her sister in warning, "That isn't even funny!"
"It wasn't supposed to be." She tossed her magazine aside and tilted her head to the side as she looked between Tanya's angry face and Bella's flushed one. "Think about it Tan, if you let him watch you, watch and not touch; Rose will get the best orgasm she's ever had." When her sister's growl didn't waver, she sighed in challenge, "You could always do it."
"No!" Bella and Rosalie exclaimed at the same time.
Bella lowered her head with a sheepish grin and noticed Rosalie doing the same, only without the grin.
"Alright, alright it was just a suggestion." Irina conceded with yet another sigh. She laughed suddenly, "I could always eat you out, Rose!"
"Would you really, or are you just saying that? Because I honestly can't tell." Jasper murmured curiously, eyes alight with amusement.
Her laugh died down and for a moment everything was silent. Irina pursed her lips and gave the blonde a thoughtful look.
"Well I personally have no problem with it, but how's that going to teach Emmett?"
Bella rolled her eyes, "He'd be watching, but not touching. Isn't that what you said?"
"Yeah...but I'm not too keen on having Em see me naked, and I don't believe Laurent would either."
"You could always keep your clothes on, but where's the fun in that?"
It was later that afternoon that Bella and Tanya laid lazily together in their bathtub, eyes closed and breathing steady. Alice had spontaneously decided that she wanted to spend the day swimming in the pool, so it was with a not so subtle hint that she convinced almost everybody to join her and Jasper. Conveniently that left Rosalie, Emmett, Irina and Laurent alone with the house to themselves. Alice wasn't very subtle.
Bella smirked as she adjusted her position between her lover's legs, turning around so that their breasts were touching and her mouth was hovering over Tanya's.
"You know, I'm beginning to think that you like me more so in the water than not." Leaning down, she licked her girlfriend's tantalising pink lips teasingly and almost giggled at the purr that she felt rumble in the vampire's chest. She pushed her thigh up between her legs and directly against the heat of her pussy. "What do you reckon, baby?"
"I'm not quite sure I know what you're talking about," Tanya joked back, her eyes fluttering open as she purposely lifted her hips to encourage her, "I like you all day every day."
"But I'm sure you like me in particular situations over others, right?"
"Oh, yes...very particular situations, and as much as I would like to show how much I love you wet and naked on top of me, I'm afraid Irina is threatening to barge in here with the video camera if we don't get downstairs. They want to start the DVD."
Despite her words Tanya's gentle touch proved to be exactly what the brunette wanted and more, and she was doing nothing to halt her hands journey to her arse. Bella lowered her head to her lover's neck, humming her approval at the kneading as her own lips trailed up and down the junction of her throat.
"Mmm, that feels amazing, sweetheart." Fingers danced up Bella's spine, and for a moment the vampire worried what she would ever do without her human now that had become so attached to her. Tugging her back she cupped her soft face and kissed her lips sweetly. "I love you, Bella."
The smile she got in return eased her worries away to nothing, because she knew that no matter what was thrust their way, they would always be there for each other. She would love the beautiful brunette until the end of eternity and even then she would love her beyond.
"I love you, too."
A few more kisses were shared before they reluctantly clambered from the now cooling water, wrapping themselves in towels and going about their business. Bella hummed to herself in front of the mirror, brushing her damp hair of its knots, not paying a great amount of attention to the vampire who disappeared and reappeared behind her.
The towel no longer covered the goddesses' body and was tossed carelessly over the hamper. Tanya's strong hand pried the brush from her lover's hand gently so she could run it through the brown locks herself.
Warmth spread through her and only seemed to grow as their eyes locked in the mirror. The intense glaze in the vampire's caused Bella's breath to hitch and her heart to beat a little more rapidly, brush being sat down on the counter as a single hand tugged the towel off Bella's body.
"You're so beautiful..." Tanya whispered, dragging her finger up her arm and along her shoulder, pulling her hair back to expose her throat more thoroughly.
The brunette smiled softly, heart fluttering as the blonde's eyes raked over her entire body, lingering on her chest before finally raising her eyes. Her teeth were perfectly straight and white as she returned the brunette's smile and for a moment Tanya worried Bella would start up on her old habit of being self-conscious, but instead she returned the sentiment.
"You make me feel beautiful."
Turning around so her back was to the mirror, she wrapped her arms around her lover's neck and happily allowed the vampire to lift her effortlessly onto the counter single-handedly.
"Do you know that the first time I saw you, as cliché as it sounds, I thought you were the most gorgeous woman I'd ever laid eyes on?"
"You mentioned something along those lines." She replied playfully, her thumb stroking the tender skin behind her ear innocently.
Slowly, hesitantly even, Bella buried her hands in her lover's hair, encouraging the vampire to come closer, lips now a breath away. The moment their lips touched neither woman could find it in their hearts to close their eyes, instead allowing their gazes to lock, shining in nothing but adoration and pure love. They did close them, however, when the sensations became too much and the passion became over-bearing in the most pleasurable way imaginable.
Whimpers left both women's mouths but were barely audible as they were stifled against one another's. Tanya's lethal body stepped even closer to her lover as though wanting to be swallowed whole, her cool tongue exploring every familiar crevice of Bella's mouth.
Shudders rocked the brunette's body as her tongue met Tanya's in a caress so lovely, her toned legs wrapping and locking around the stone hard body she clung to, her centre pushing tight up against the rock hard muscles of the blonde's stomach.
Bella's pleasure grew steadily as she felt her lover's talented hands on her thighs, stroking the flesh in such a manner that she couldn't stop from moaning into the vampire's mouth.
The moment she felt those heavenly fingers at her most private place, her moans grew louder and her hips pressed forward seeking her touch and the mind-blowing feelings they would bring.
"Touch me...please baby." Her whimper made Tanya's bits tingle in an amazingly torturous way. They panted breathlessly into each other's mouths, eyes boring into the others as though seeing the souls buried deep beneath their flesh.
"How do you want me to touch you?" Tanya's purr was so low and deep that the brunette couldn't contain her groan, which caused her lover to grin cheekily. "Tell me..."
"I want to feel every inch of you rubbing against me...please."
"Anything for you," She lifted her easily and made for their bed, her lips sucking and nipping at her girlfriend's delicious throat the entire way.
Her lips stopped and instead she ran her nose up and down her scented neck, moaning quietly as her blood hit her full force. Once they lowered themselves to the bed they lost all conscious thought, and allowed their mouths and hands to merge together, wander together.
DVD and family forgotten, they lost themselves in each other, oblivious to Irina's frustrated growls downstairs, drowned out with their moans.
Afterwards they lay together under the sheets, limbs entwined as the vampire held Bella in her arms with her head above her un-beating heart, breathing steady and eyes closed. If it weren't for the gentle circular movement of her finger on the vampire's collar bone, she would have thought she'd fallen asleep.
"What time is it?" Bella placed a lazy kiss where her head laid and didn't bother to open her eyes. She was far too content.
Tanya barely glanced at the clock before settling comfortably once more, "Ten."
With a hum of contentment she snuggled deeper into the blonde's cool body, pulling the blanket up over her shoulders to kill the chill from both that and the fact she was naked. Tanya placed a small kiss upon her head and tightened her hold on the brunette, wishing more than anything that it was possible to warm her up but knowing that there was no chance of that happening. Being a vampire in love with a human wasn't as easy as it sounded.
"Sweetheart?" Bella hummed again to show she was listening. The blonde opened her eyes as she debated how to go about what she wanted to say. In the end she opted for something that she knew, in Bella's mind, was probably quite random. "I was planning a weekend away for the two of us."
The brunette tried to decipher what she could possibly mean but found it beyond difficult. What was she talking about? With a confused groan she pushed herself up onto an elbow so she could look at Tanya's face. She raised an eyebrow in question.
"What are you talking about?"
"It was around about the time Edward left, remember?" At her even more confused expression, she sighed, "The whole MIA thing? And then you punished me with no sex? Ring any bells?"
The brunette's eyes noticeably narrowed, "Oh, yes...I remember."
"You thought I was talking with Kate and Garrett on the phone and I did do as well, but I was also inquiring about places where I could take you away for a few days. Just you and me." She smiled and as an afterthought added with a shake of her head, "I swear the people I spoke to had no idea what they were doing."
"That's very sweet and all, but I don't need you to take me away on little romantic getaways." Bella's voice was soft and she couldn't hold back the small smile that tugged at her lips. She leant in and kissed the blonde's own smiling lips. "Can I ask why you wanted to take me away?"
Tanya rolled them over and settled between her girlfriend's warm thighs, cocooning her body in the most tantalising way.
"I'm still taking you away, but the destination and time is a surprise. As to why..." At this point Tanya's confident smile faltered only slightly, before returning full force. She reached under her lover's pillow, her hand securing around the object she desired. "I want you to close your eyes, okay? Don't open them."
Bella cast a confused smile but did as she was asked, a tingle of excitement and suspense running through her veins as she did so. She listened and felt as her girlfriend barely moved against her, only to lift herself slightly.
"No peeking, you'll know when to open your eyes." She admonished when she saw Bella's eyelids flutter in anticipation. She brought her hand from beneath the pillow and her golden eyes shone happily as her eyes landed upon the engagement ring she held in her hand. "Just relax, beautiful."
Lowering her head Tanya began a torturously slow pace of small kisses, starting above her chest and ending up just below her ear. She nipped at the skin once before taking her lover's hand in her own and pressing the ring between their palms. Bella froze as she felt the small object in her hand, eyes snapping open and disbelief reeling.
Tanya hovered over her ear, breathing heavily into the little cavern, her words giving away nothing of the nervousness she felt.
"Marry me, Bella, and make me the happiest woman there is ever to be." She tried not to purr the words, but she was pretty sure she failed if Bella's shudder was anything to go by. She would've giggled in any other situation, but not this time.
Bella's eyes watered as she watched her lover pull back, lifting their entwined hands to the place between them. She leant down, eyes never leaving the brunette's face, and kissed the soft knuckles of her girlfriend's hand.
Bella's rapid heartbeat was music to her ears as slowly one by one, the tears rolled down her face. Tanya only prayed they were the good type of tears.
"This is why you've been sneaking around?" Bella's voice trembled and she had yet to look at the ring in their hands, caring only for the vampire's face.
"Yeah, I mean...I had this whole extravagant getaway planned but I realised just now that I didn't need to do those things. I love you and this right here," She cupped her girlfriend's face, wiping away her tears. "This was how I should've planned it all along. Just us doing what we do best."
Bella giggled through teary eyes, "And what is it that we do best?"
Kissing away her salty tears, the blonde continued to place her cool lips over every inch of her face, before finally placing only one delicate kiss upon her trembling lips. Gold locked on brown.
"Love each other." She whispered, "Love each other in every sense of the word. Say you'll be my wife...please Bella. Say you'll marry me."
"Yes, of course I'll marry you!" She cried. Literally.
With both a relieved and elated giggle Tanya brought the ring from their hands, and slowly as though not quite believing it, she placed the diamond encrusted silver ring on her finger, holding it so that it would stop shaking long enough.
Their lips melded together, hands entwining between them and hearts swelling with feelings that only they could bring out in one another. It was with great restraint that the blonde pulled away, face hovering over the flushed brunette's easily as she tried to contain her grin.
"You're going to look beautiful walking down the aisle, Bella. So very beautiful indeed." Kissing her nose, she rolled over and off her, lying on her side so she could admire the broad smiling brunette who wore the ring that would seal their futures. She brought her hand to her face as she turned onto her side also, inching closer so that they practically shared the same breath. "I love you."
"I love you." She whispered back, turning her head to kiss Tanya's palm sweetly, before settling her head into the pillows once more.
They lay there for a few minutes in silence until Tanya's giggle broke the silence.
"Alice and Irina are about to tear their hair out in frustration, it's pretty funny actually." She announced, smirking as Bella's laughed quietly.
"Oh, really?" Bella's voice was playful as she subtly pulled the blanket down to expose Tanya's breasts. She admired the ring on her finger as she did so, smiling giddily at the prospect of becoming a Denali. "That's just too bad because I'm not finished with you. I really want to do to you what we do best."
The blonde laughed as her fiancée climbed over her, smiling face hovering over her own.
"And what is it that we do best?"
Trailing her hands up the smooth flesh of Bella's sides, Tanya then journeyed to her arms, entwining the fingers of both their hands and practically glowing as she felt the piece of jewellery that sat on her lover's left hand. She allowed the brunette to tug her hands above her head on the pillow, even going as far as to arch her chest upwards in offering.
Warm breath washed over the vampire's chest as a cheeky grin played at her lover's lips, head lowering.
"Why, we love each other, of course."
Tanya couldn't wait to marry this woman.
