Hi! So, here we go. I think some of you have been waiting a little while for this. Hope it meets expectations.

I've been writing pretty much non stop in my spare time so haven't had time to reply to all your reviews but every single one is appreciated. But, it does mean that the next chapter is also almost ready and I may be encouraged to be finished by letting me know what you think of today's offering.

Enjoy, Lil'D

Oh, this is not safe for work ;) Like you guy really care! :P

Irina looked up into the black eyes of the newborn and made her decision by reaching up and tangling her fingers in chestnut hair, pulling Bella's head down until their lips were touching.

It took a second for the young vampire to register what was happening and when she did she pressed her hips down against Irina's and returned the kiss, mouth open as her tongue explored what was on offer. A hiss from the blonde caused Bella to pull back but the smirk that followed told her it had been a positive reaction.

Irina slipped out from under the newborn who followed close behind. Bella knew the kiss had been permission to indulge her beast so allowed it full reign, stalking the blonde across the room then surging forward, slamming Irina against the wall, ignoring the crack that formed in the plaster.

"No!" Bella was suddenly in a world of pain as a hand fisted her hair, twisting until she was forced to her knees, a snarling, black eyed Irina glaring down at her. "You will respect our home!" She roared and Bella whimpered, suddenly realising that she had caused quite a bit of structural damage with just one push. Irina loosened her grip but Bella remained kneeling, acutely aware of the blonde's power.

"Come," Irina purred, beckoning as she winked and sped from the house, the newborn's transgression not halting her willingness to play. Bella's beast rejoiced at the thought of a chase, she followed the blonde's scent out and into the forest, her legs pumping as fast as they could could, the world a blur as she tracked her prey. Irina was fast but Bella was slowly gaining on her, the invitation had been obvious and it excited the newborn's baser instincts.

They ran for miles, Irina leading Bella on a wild chase until suddenly it was over. The newborn pouncing from behind and tackling her prey to the ground, pinning it to the forest floor, roaring in triumph as she did so. Irina's instincts made her struggle to be free, she was not a submissive vampire and she disliked being trapped. The struggling vampire under her only excited Bella more, she used all her strength to hold Irina still, wrapping her entire body around the blonde, completely immobilising her as she lay face down on the soft loam.

Irina gasped as she felt Bella's dominance surge from the newborn via her chi, forcing it's way into her own and she found she was unable to block it, something that had never happened before. As it entered her body it caressed and enveloped her own sense of self and Irina found herself relaxing under the newborn as Bella's chi insinuated it's self into every fibre of her being. If she had been thinking clearly Irina would have panicked, this level of control was beyond anything she had ever experienced before.

Bella felt her prey give up control and she began to purr contentedly, now dipping down to scent her. She detected several undertones to Irina's scent, all of which excited her, fear, arousal, anger were the most prevalent but the overriding pheromone she detected was submission and that pleased her greatly.

Irina just lay there in a daze as Bella began to manipulate the skin over her scars with her stiff tongue, pulses of her chi seemingly bridging the skin and touching her core. She felt an. overwhelming urge to please the newborn, her own thoughts slow and languid

"What the hell is that?" Kate questioned worriedly as they felt an unfamiliar presence in their sister's chi as it reached out to them.

"I don't know?" Tanya also felt the surge in her chi as Kate spoke. "Irina," Tanya stated softly as she met her sisters eye.

Rose felt it too although she was not with the sisters but out hunting, an unexplained pull that caused her to race towards home as fast as her legs could carry her. Something felt wrong.

"I don't -? I think it's Bella," Kate gasped as she recognised the feel of the newborn. "But I've never felt anything like it," she added, worrying her lip in agitation.

"Something feels off," Tanya agreed. "Bella wouldn't hurt her, would she?" She asked her sister.

"She wouldn't normally be able to but this -. Come," Kate set off at a run and Tanya followed.

"Where's Rose?" Tanya asked her sister as they ran.

"I'm not sure. I can't feel her anywhere close but that means nothing. If something's going on with Bella she'll feel it," Kate frowned as she anticipated the reaction of the young blonde to the situation. This could get messy.

"She will." Tanya agreed and they increased their pace.

Irina was totally immobilised, she didn't think she would be able to move if she wanted to, but the way Bella's chi was melding with hers was making it difficult to even think of doing anything except what Bella wanted. Everything just felt so, right.

Soon both vampires were purring, Bella pleased that her captive had stopped fighting and Irina totally under her control, pliant and submissive. It felt sooo good and she gave up trying to fight it.

Rose came to a stop close to their home but she could tell that it was not where Bella was. As she reached out with her senses she realised that Bella had left, so had Irina. It was all too much for her to take and she set off to follow then. What she wasn't expecting was to be intercepted by Tanya and Kate as they also headed in the same direction.

"What's wrong?" Rose called out as she sensed the elder vampires.

"We don't know. Bella is with Irina," Rose growled as Tanya spoke.

"She is, but what we feel is -. We don't know what it is," Kate confirmed worriedly.

"Seriously? Not feeling good about this," Rose snapped and quickened her pace in her efforts to meet her bond-mate.

"If they are both fine are you prepared to step back? To give her this time to grow and discover herself?" Tanya questioned the young blonde as they sped on. Rose snarled at the suggestion of anyone else touching Bella but her.

"Rose! This is a serious situation. Bella can't hurt Irina, physically at least," she reminded the younger vampire.

"I think she needs this, in my opinion it will solve a lot of the problems she has been having and Irina understands her, maybe better than any of us." Kate gasped as she was hit with a wave of pleasure, Tanya a split second behind as they stopped dead, Rose not realising at first and having to back-track to where the sisters had halted.

"Do you really love her and want the best for her?" Tanya questioned as she regained her composure. That had been incredibly intense but it showed them that Irina was fine.

"You know I do," Rose quickly confirmed. She wanted to be moving again.

"Then stop and think. Bella loves you, she does. There is no weakening or denying the bond you share but if Irina's story taught you anything it is that she will always come back to you, Rose." Rose dropped her gaze to the ground as she thought about what Tanya had just said. She knew Bella was afraid of hurting her and they both recognised that it was a very real possibility, she was so strong, stronger than most newborns according to the Denali's recent assessment.

With that being the case it would be sensible for her to let Bella be with a vampire she couldn't hurt but that was so against Rose's instinct it was almost painful. But, she wanted Bella to be happy and well-adjusted and she knew how miserable some things were making her bond-mate. If she could do anything to help, she would. Even if it meant leaving Bella with Irina. Rose didn't have the heart to speak to the sisters as she realised what she had to do. So, she just turned and ran.

"Will she be Ok? Tanya sighed.

"Yes, she's as strong as Bella, in her own way," Kate replied as she frowned at the pain she knew the young blonde must be experiencing.

"Let's go home, Irina may need us later." Tanya reached for the comfort of her sister's hand and they began the journey home.

Rose ran, her feet taking her towards safety and comfort. It wasn't too long before she approached the Cullen ranch but did not go close enough to be detected. She'd fired off a text to Emmett who was jogging to meet her.

"Let me guess, trouble in Bella Land?" He joked as he pulled her into a vampire crushing hug.

"Yeah," even the thought of what Bella might be doing now hurt and angered her. She was also feeling extremely jealous and would have to work hard not to let it affect her relationship with Irina. She was now seeing why Bella had been so pissed at Kate.

"So, what's wrong?" Emmett rested his arm on her shoulder as they walked through the forest.

"Bella's probably fucking Irina right now," the blonde muttered and Emmett inhaled sharply, starting a very non-vampire coughing fit.

"She what now?" Rose turned to glare at her friend.

"You heard me," she growled as she hunched her shoulders.

"Bella's banging Irina? Way to go Bella!" The words were just out of his mouth when he realised that was maybe not the best thing to say.

"She's my bond-mate Em!" Rose cried. "This is not good!"

"Then why the hell are you here and not fighting Irina for her?" Emmett exclaimed as he took Rose by the shoulders and gave her a shake.

"Because I can't! Don't you think fucking I want to? Of course I want to be the one she's with but I can't Em!" She yelled in exasperation, Emmett blinked. Rose never got this agitated about anything, but Bella.

"Why the fuck not Rosie? I just don't get it!" He stepped back and crossed his arms across his chest as he waited for an explanation.

"Bella, she -."

"She likes Irina more?" Rose frowned at that.

"No." Rose snarled so ferociously the big vampire took a step back.

"Then what?" He challenged her for an answer. Emmett knew how his friend worked, sometimes she needed a push to talk.

"Because she's having problems Em, she needs to get it out her system," Rose explained with a sigh.

"Problems, as in sex, urges? Right?" Emmett knew what newborns went through.

"Yes Em, as in sex."

"Why cant you two just -," he made a crude gesture.

"What? Finger bang?" Rose raised her brow at his childish antics.

"No! Fuck? A night with you and she'd be totally chilled, dude." He offered his friend a compliment, knowing first hand how rose was capable of incapacitating a vampire. Sex with Rose was both satisfying and exhausting!

"First off, never, ever call me dude again," she growled and Emmett looked suitably chastised, he knew she hated it. "Second, she doesn't want to hurt me, she's really strong and her beast -. It gets out of control." Rose whispered as she thought about the massacred herd.

"She'd never -."

"Em, I know what I'm fucking talking about!" Rose was frustrated by Emmett's lack of understanding on the matter. "She's in control and strong and just so fucking perfect! Too perfect to let go and it's gets too much for her-. Kate -."

"Bella's banged Kate too?" He asked incredulously.

"No. I did."

" -" Emmett couldn't speak, just splutter as he tried to comprehend what Rose had just told him.

"Yeah, after you left. I was feeling a little off balance so I took it out on Kate." She explained with a sigh.

"Rose? Will you marry me?" Emmett got down on his knees and begged.

"This isn't a joke Em!" Rose growled. This time it was her turn to cross her arms and she tapped her foot which was a sign she was really pissed.

"Was it good? At least tell me that? Please?" The giant begged a little pathetically, Rose thought.

"I took what I needed," the blonde grudgingly admitted and Emmett whooped his approval.

"Such a child!" Rose berated her friend but couldn't help but smile a little at his enthusiasm.

"Anyway, so Bella and Irina? Apart for wanting to watch, what's up with that?" Emmett got back to the matter in hand but he was glad Rose had lightened up a bit.

"She can't hurt Irina. They have a lot in common, Irina gets where Bella is coming from," the blonde explained, wrapping her arms around herself. "It should help Bella's control, maybe enough so we can -,"

"Take it to the next level? Fuck each others brains out?"

"Maybe." Rose shrugged, ignoring the crude comment. "Whatever happens I know she needs this. I just don't think I'm going to handle it very well." She admitted with a sigh. "I know I'm not handling it very well, at all. I mean look at me! I'm a fucking jealous, possessive mess!"

"Oh Rosie," the blonde accepted the hug her friend offered, losing herself in his familiar embrace as she tried not to think about what her bond-mate might be doing.

Bella was distracted by the taste of Irina's skin, so distracted that Irina felt some clarity returning and was able to clear the fog in her head enough to loosen Bella's hold so she could slip out from under her, she flipped and scrambled backwards until she was pressed up against a tree. Irina shook her head, still under Bella's influence. Looking up she inhaled sharply, Bella was crouched where she had left her, head cocked as she studied the blonde, she looked completely feral.

Irina was transfixed as Bella began to crawl towards her, pulses of that seductive dominance leeching from the newborn and affecting her deeply. Low growls were being emitted as she came closer, and closer.

Bella scented the air and roared, Irina's arousal was potent and she wanted to taste it. She closed the last few feet with a single leap, cannoning into the blonde and slamming her hard against the tree and Irina whimpered but not from fear. Excitement shot through the older vampire as their bodies came into contact again, Bella's mouth was on her neck, teeth scraping against Irina's scars, making the blonde moan.

Irina gasped and knew she should have fought the strong hand was at her throat but was unable to find the will, she was lifted up until both vampires were standing. Bella was the taller one and she held Irina against the trunk as she looked her over. Eyes lingering on pert breasts before moving lower, she ducked her head to sniff the blonde's crotch and growled her approval, she was ready, she wanted Bella.

"Bella?" Irina spoke, not at all scared but unsure of how deep in her beast Bella was.

"Irina?" Black eyes met their match as they stared at each other, Irina surprised to get a coherent answer. Bella sniffed. She was bored of talking, she wanted to taste, to bite, to tear the clothes off Irina's body. Action followed thought, ripping Irina's shirt off with one quick pull.

"Ah!" Irina found herself naked from the waist up, Bella's mouth around her nipple as the newborn took the taste she had been wanting. She liked this, it tasted good. She bit down. That was better, she liked that sound.

Irina screamed as Bella's teeth pierced her nipple, the sharp fang entering her flesh and fusing her chi with the newborn's, that dark, wonderful, seductive power that was all Bella. The newborn sucked hungrily, drawing blood and both vampires moaned, both wanting more, Irina's sex clenching with each pull of Bella's mouth on her breast. The young vampire switched to the other breast, hungry for more flesh, more blood.

"Please!" Irina begged, she needed so much more. Bella pulled back and looked the blonde in the eye, blood smeared lips curling in a feral smile. The pants were the next to go as they met in a bloody kiss and Bella's hand travelled down the valley of Irina's breasts, fingers burning a path over a toned stomach until they came to rest possessively over damp curls.

"Bella!" Irina couldn't believe she was begging the newborn, she never begged No, she was the one in control. Bella threw her head back and roared thrusting two then three fingers inside her captive lover. Irina twisted her hips, trying to increase the depth of penetration only to moan as Bella took her weight, lifting her by the ass and wrapping the blonde's legs around her waist so all Irina's weight was taken on Bella's hand, the one she was fucking her with as her back grated against the rough bark of the tree.

Bella wasn't gentle, she didn't need to be as they moved in tandem, Bella inside the blonde in every way. It didn't take long for the frantic bucking and fucking as they rutted together to bring Irina to a sharp climax, the orgasm hitting her fast and hard as Bella bit down on her shoulder.

It didn't end there even though the blonde was in somewhat of a daze from the physical effects of her orgasm as well as Bella's influence. The newborn certainly wasn't sated as she spun them round and laid Irina on the ground, flipping her on her stomach and reaching under her so her hips were raised off the floor.

The elder vampire struggled slightly but she didn't have much strength to call on, Bella's chi still demanding her submission plus the pheromones the newborn was emitting were much stronger than those she should have at her age. All in all it was a potent cocktail that had Irina at the young vampire's mercy as though hypnotised and without her own free will.

Bella was lost in her beast but she also knew that her lover was a friend, one to respect but that didn't mean she couldn't act on the submission she had been gifted. That and the heavy scent of both their arousal drove her on and she once again entered the blonde with her fingers, pulling their bodies together with each strong thrust, Irina was so wet that when Bella's fourth finger slipped in it was only a single thrust away from her whole hand being swallowed by their passion. Bella watched in fascination as she fucked the blonde, slick muscles clenching round her wrist, pulling her deeper inside.

Irina moaned, groaning as Bella's fist clenched and unclenched inside her. The twist of the blonde's hips giving her pleasurable pain as she was thoroughly fucked. As Bella pistoned inside the blonde she felt her own climax approach, fed by the backlash from the blonde's chi. When Irina came, screaming Bella's name, the newborn was seconds after her, soaking her jeans with the pent up frustration that had been plaguing her.

It was over. Bella pulled out and rolled off the blonde who was lying face down, limbs sprawled ungraciously on the soft ground.

"She has so much power," Irina finally managed to mumble, "so much more than we imagined. I've never -." Both Tanya and Kate were frowning. They knew Bella was a powerful newborn but to have reduced their sister to this? There had to be something they weren't getting.
