Chapter 32- Puzzle Piece
I fell back as I threw my arms up defensively. I closed my eyes reflexively awaiting Jasper's attack. I opened my eyes as my breathing increased. Edward was standing in front me. He pushed Jasper back with extreme force as Jasper flew out of Carlisle's study. Edward quickly turned his attention on me. Emmett and Carlisle restrained Jasper from continuing his attack. "How did you get here so fast?" I asked stunned. "I'm slightly faster then the others." Edward briefed me. Edward grabbed my elbows and lifted me up.
"Are you ok?" He gritted through his clenched teeth. I nodded. "We were out in the front with the last of our guests. Then I heard you scream my name. The rest was instinct." He explained in an agitated tone. "Bella. I am so sorry." Alice choked. Her eyes never met mine. "Alice, it's ok." I promised. "It is not ok!" Edward snarled. "Edward." "We'll be back in the morning." Alice choked.
I hugged Edward as Alice left to attend to Jasper. Edward remained motionless. "Edward." I whispered cautiously. I pulled away irritated. I bit my lip nervously as silent tears rolled down my face. "Bella." Edward quickly pulled me into his arms and kissed my lips. I kissed his lips as my tears came to a stop. Edward cupped my face and tore his lips away from my yearning lips. "I'm sorry. I just can't imagine my life without you." Edward openly admitted.
"I know how you feel." I agreed. I sighed as all the emotion from today made me restless. "Shall we go to bed?" Edward suggested. I nodded as a sudden light sparked inside of me. We were married. He couldn't deny me the right to make love to my husband. Could he? Edward picked me up in his arms and carried me past the threshold. He closed the door behind him he placed me on my feet. I stood in front of the bed. Edward stood behind me as he kissed my neck. I closed my eyes as my breathing increased rapidly.
His cold lips against my warm skin caused an electric current to pass throughout my entire body. "How about we get you out of this dress." He whispered his breath hitting the back of my neck. I nodded unable to speak. He pulled the dress off gently and tossed it on the dresser. It landed perfectly of course. I blushed almost immediately. Instinctively I crossed my arms covering my chest. Edward turned me around and gazed into my eyes.
"Bella." He breathed. "Yes." I responded nervously. "I don't know if I can control myself." He admitted bashfully. "I trust you." I stated. "We'll try. But if I hurt you or I think you're in any sort of pain. I will stop." He explained. "I want you." I whispered softly. I took a deep breath and dropped my arms. I walked over slowly and placed my lips at his neck.
I inhaled his sweet scent as I sucked on his cool neck. Edward gripped my waist and pulled me closer. I smiled knowing he wanted this just as much as I did. He traced an invisible line down my bare back. "You're skin is so soft and warm." He mused. I kissed his jaw line as his lips parted. I pressed my lips against his. I ran my fingers through his hair wildly. Edward held my waist tightly as a moan escaped my lips.
With one movement Edward placed me on the bed. He hovered over me as he continued kissing my lips. "Wait. What about you're family?" I asked out of breath. "They left already." He revealed. I smiled knowing we had the house to ourselves. "Were you planning on keeping these?" Edward asked as he tugged on my white lace lingerie. "No." I replied slightly confused. Edward ripped them off effortlessly.
The pieces fell on the floor as he brushed them off the bed. "I wan this." I stated desperately. Edward smiled a crooked smile as if I answered an un heard question. Edward's lips met mine once more. His hands trailed up my thighs as my veins pounded furiously against my skin. "I'm going to make you mine, Mrs. Cullen." He smiled. My heart stopped at his beautiful expression. It was filled with happiness and want.
Edward kissed me passionately as he gently positioned himself. My eyes went wide with surprise as I inhabited a new sensation. I contained the moment of pain knowing that was normal the first time. I closed my eyes controlling my breathing. "Bella. Are you alright?" Edward asked softly. "Yes." I responded quickly. I didn't want Edward to stop. And like a flash of lighting the pain diminished. Leaving nothing but pleasure.
I stretched as a sharp pain coursed through my arms. I felt sore. I opened my eyes and scanned the room. I gasped as I stared at the blood stain on the sheets. "Edward." I cried frantically. I smiled when Edward lingered at the door with a tray of breakfast. I let out a sigh of relief knowing Edward was ok. "I saw the blood and freaked." I confessed. "You hungry?" Edward asked coldly. I nodded as I watched him intently. He placed the tray on my lap as I sat up. I wrapped the sheet around me. "Smells great." I complimented. Edward stared out the window as he became thoughtful.
"Don't you dare." I hissed. Edward gave me a puzzled look. "Last night was one of the greatest nights of my life. Don't ruin that for me." I pleaded. Edward's face was covered in regret. "You regret making love to me." I whispered as realization sunk in. "Bella." Edward placed his finger at my chin and forced me to look at him. "Last night was the greatest night of my entire existence." He stated matter of fact. I smiled all traces of self doubt and sadness disappeared.
"I hurt you." Edward pointed at my arms. I looked at my arms and rolled my eyes. "Edward. There bruises. They'll heal." I huffed. Edward let out a low chuckle. I smiled victoriously. "Mrs. Cullen, you are something else." Edward smiled. I grabbed the fork and dug into my breakfast. Edward stared in amusement as I finished my entire meal. I chugged the glass of Orange juice as Edward stared. "What?" I asked. "Nothing I've just never see you eat like that before." Edward chuckled.
"You wore me out." I teased. Edward removed the tray from my lap and placed it on a small coffee table. "So is there any chance for a round two." I bit my lip as I removed the sheets. "Don't have to ask me twice." Edward mused. Edward tackled me as he kissed my neck. I closed my eyes as a familiar sensation consumed my body.
I giggled as Edward searched around the room for his shirt. "Bella. We were suppose to meet my family an hour ago." He informed me. "Who knew round two was so time consuming." I giggled. Edward pulled me to the end of the bed. He kissed my lips tenderly. "Round two was worth it." Edward smiled my favorite smile. "I don't have any clothes here." I sighed. "Alice packed you a bag. It's by the dresser." Edward told me. "Of course she did." I snickered. I dreaded opening the bag. I knew Alice would have over the top, outrageous outfits.
I unzipped the bag and regretted it instantly. Alice packed things I would actually wear. I must thank Alice later. I slipped into black lacey lingerie. I searched through the clothes looking for something that screamed I am happily married. "Bella. If you don't change quickly we're not going to make it." Edward chuckled darkly. I blushed knowing what he meant. I pulled out a blue satin dress. I changed quickly as Edward gathered our belongings. I ran to the bathroom as I brushed my teeth. I brushed my hair quickly. I applied eye liner and mascara. I left my hair down and natural.
"Bella. You look perfect." Edward said dazed. "Ready husband." I smiled. Edward took my hand as I followed him. "Where are we meeting them?" I asked cheerful. "Downstairs." Edward responded. I stopped dead in my tracks. "How long have they been here?" I asked mortified. "Two minutes ago." Edward answered completely tranquil. "Bella. They didn't hear anything." Edward promised.
We headed downstairs as The Cullen's waited patiently in the living room. "Good morning." Esme greeted warmly. "Good morning." I responded bashfully. Rosalie and Alice giggled. "Hey, brother." Emmett winked. I glared at Emmett viciously. Emmett raised his hands claiming he came in peace. "Bella." Carlisle smiled a dazzling smile. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Where's Jasper?" I asked curiously. "He's going to be away for a few days." Esme explained. I looked at Alice as her beautiful features were covered in sadness. I hugged Alice tightly. She hugged me back giggling. "Oh, Bella. Edward truly is lucky." She smiled. I sat next to Edward on the love seat across from his parents. "What exactly did Heidi tell you?" Carlisle started. "She said now that the werewolf blood left my system." I paused unable to hide the fear in my voice. "She would kill me and everyone I ever loved." I continued.
"What did she mean by werewolf blood?" Rosalie asked intrigued. "Bella. Remember the accident?" Carlisle questioned. "Yes. When Edward saved me." I answered in a shaky voice. That experience was one of the worst of my life. Felix had given me a letter from Edward. Causing a full blown chain of events that followed. I involuntarily shivered at the thought. "Are you cold?" Edward asked attentive to my body. "No." I shook my head knowing it wasn't the weather.
"You lost a tremendous amount of blood. You needed a transfusion." Carlisle recalled. "So who donated?" Emmett asked. "Jacob Black." Carlisle revealed. My heart stopped causing a mass of emotions to surface. "I didn't think anything at the time. Until you told Alice and Emmett of your encounter with Heidi." Carlisle confessed honestly. "I am so sorry." Carlisle apologized whole heartedly. "You saved my life." I responded defensively. "She would have killed me." I stated.
This time it was Edward who shivered. "So werewolf blood gives humans certain abilities?" Rosalie asked stunned. "Well it gave her strength and speed." Emmett commented. "Bella. Did you feel different?" Alice questioned. "I felt different. Empowered almost animal like." I explained. "Heidi obviously knows her blood is clean. But how?" Edward pondered. I sighed as the situation grew more complicated.
"Did the blood only effect, Bella?" Edward asked with a hint certainty. "Perhaps it deepened the connection between Jacob and Bella." Carlisle said out loud. I winced at the mention of Jacob's name. So I was the reason Jacob felt closer to me. And I pushed him away not caring for his feelings. I felt guilty as I remembered Jacob's expression at the wedding. He was right. We did have a connection.
"My blood." I whispered. Everyone's eyes were on me as I slowly pieced the puzzle together. "My blood hasn't been pure since that day. That's why Heidi nor Riley attacked me. I continued. "Think about it. Heidi reappeared to tell me she wanted to kill me. On our wedding day." I looked at Edward as everything fell into place.
"Heidi was banking on you turning me. If you turned me with Werewolf blood in my system. I would die." I finally revealed. Carlisle's eyes went wide with shock as my words played in his head. "She's right." Carlisle said impressed. Edward's expression became horrified. "She never intended on killing you." Rosalie stated. "How long till the blood is out of her system?" Alice asked concerned. Carlisle shrugged.
"Drain me." I declared. The Cullen's eyes were wide with horror as they looked in my direction. "Bella." Alice gasped."If you don't she will." I stared into Edward's eyes. "I'm dead either way. And I'd much rather it be by your hands then hers." I confessed. "How can you say such a thing?" Edward said in a tone of disgust. "I could never live with myself if I killed you." Edward's eyes held an extreme amount of pain. "Is that your greatest fear? Killing me?" I asked. "It's something I have to live with everyday." He responded.
I caressed his face as his eyes closed at the instant contact. "I love you." I whispered. "Perhaps we can run a few test." Carlisle suggested. I nodded as I carefully laid on Edward's chest. I knew it was a risky move but it had to be done. If the Cullen's weren't going to help then I was on my own. I closed my eyes as the walls around me caved. My happiness never lasted longer then a few moments. I pulled away from Edward as I followed Carlisle to his study.
"Bella. You're not alone." Carlisle smiled warmly. I felt a tinge of guilt as he drew my blood. I took a deep breath knowing I had to do what was best for everyone. I waited patiently for Carlisle to return.
