Chapter 25: Love turns men into...

Disclaimer: The characters and basically the story are Stephenie Meyer's just tweaked for my crazy mind. Plus my loving mind that is screaming for reviews but not to stop writing! ;p ;) ;p

~(~)~ ~(~)~ ~(~)~ Merana's point of view

It was beautiful watching the sunset over the ocean on the back of Jared as a great white shark. It was exactly what I needed as the day came to an end. Not a great nor a terrible day but one I would always remember and relinquish as others much more violent and demanding days were fast approaching us. For in the near future I would have to give up the role of being just Jared's simple wife and take on being a queen of thousands of lives and leader in a upcoming war. Though luckily for me I wouldn't be doing it alone, no I would have the comfort of my family, though Jared will protest he won't leave my side. There is absolute nothing that can separate us or that someone can do that I haven't already done for this awesome man to leave me.

Jumping off Jared's back as we neared the beach I waded through the water alittle as Jared shifted and rushed up behind me. Squealing with joy as he picked me up and nuzzled his nose in my wet hair he whispered in my ear "Where do you think you are going?"

"Well I was thinking of the sand over by those rocks." I answered as I switched his clothes to one arm and wrapped the other around his head to bring it forward so I could kiss him. "For as much as I love the ocean I would like a hard surface beneath us." Then peeking him on the lips again I wiggled out of his arms and ran to the beach and off to the left where there was a large outcropping of rocks that provided shelter from nosy eyes that just might happen by.

Being as this was one of the many beaches along the wolves land and they more then likely will be out patrolling later. Even if they can smell us in the area I still don't want to be out in the open.

Turning around as I made it and discovering that the area was larger then I thought, I throw Jared's clothes to the side near the back so the tide weren't carry them off, I look out and see my gorgoues husband swimming over and up to me. Watching as he emerged from the water naked and just so… my heart beat faster and my palms itched to touch his warm, soft but firm skin. It neither surprised me how he always got me hot and bothered by just one look, but seeing him like this just had me melting. In fact I was which had me racing to him before he could compeletly exited the water and jumping him.

He just gracely accepted me into his arms as I peppered his skin with kisses, though he didn't stop moving and before I know it I was pressed up against one of the rock walls as he worked… no torn off my dress. The exact same fate that befall the real one after we had said our vowels that wonderfully day that seemed so long ago but in turth was only three months ago.

Then just like that day being as we were rushed and I didn't have time to put on another layer I was gasping as he took in the sight of me naked and flushed. The clothes Bella had given me had just about been destroyed by the time I morphed, so there wasn't much left of them so I wasn't wearing much this afternoon. Really I was only wearing the dress and that I used to drive Jared wild all day.

Then before I could even tease him, Jared kissed me. Not a searing take my utter breath away, but a long loving get my heart a skipping a beat or two kiss, that just spoke volumes of the love he felt for me. His hands never stopped roaming over my body, never staying in one place long another and yet leaving a hot trail of desire behind.

This man really is a god to behold and yet he loved me. A murderous no a psycho woman who at one point (still does if I actually admitted it) revelled in the screams of others no matter if they were innocent or not, I craved their fear and wanted nothing else. Well except for one thing, the attention of one man, this man in particular. So yes as much as I loved Jared and desired him, it was still a shock how much he wanted me or that he always came back to me.

But then again my mind was preoccupied and my goal at this moment was the burning heat between my legs and his erection that was poking me in the stomach. There was no reason for words and no holding back as he pulled me from the rock wall and down onto the cooling sand. Or thought to the fact that we were screaming and moaning as loud as possible, which had told anyone in the nearby area to veer away.

~"~ ~"~ ~"~ Bella's point of view

I was just waking up when I heard it. The laughing and yelling. Rolling over I was surprised to see Edward burrowing his head in the pillows and to hear his groans. Whatever was going on downstairs had Edward stressing. So thinking on what it could possible be, I was given a hint when I heard, "JARED!" and another round of laughter. Moving as humanly fast as I could I jumped from the bed, really fell from the bed and crawled to the door. Using the door to stand I rushed to the top of the stairs to find Merana and Jared at the bottom somewhat fighting.

Jared was shirtless but wearing some ragged demin jeans, plus barefoot and trying or reaching for Merana, only she was staying out of his reach and gripping tight to the shirt she was wearing. She on the other hand as far as I could see was just wearing the red fannel shirt but being as I knew she always wear a second layer of clothes, most likely had on some shorts and a tube top underneath.

Slowly making my way down the steps as I held tightly to the banister I heard Jared "Come on Ma." As he once again tried to grab a hold of her only to fail as she side step around him and rushed up the steps to me.

To say I was shock was an understatment. Neither had I seen her act like this, yes I had seen her dancing but there was a legitment reason and plus she was a great dancer. But here now having her hide behind me as Jared made his way to us while shaking his head.

"Ma please" Jared pleaded as he was two steps from us. Then leaning over and around as he stepped up, "Ma don't use Bella. I just want my shirt." Merana having wrapped her arms around my waist easily maneveared me between them as she pressed herself up against the banister.

"Jared there are plenty more upstairs. Why do you have to take the one I am wearing?" hearing Merana's voice between pleading and excited, I got that they were playing a game only I wasn't to sure what the goal was cause a shirt was pretty lame.

"Yes there are more upstairs, but I want my favorite shirt." Jared answered as he took another step up to be leveled with us, only Merana stepped down, almost causing my to trip. So grasping onto her arms and just following her lead as she guided us down to the floor.

"This is not your favorite shirt." Merana shouted as she released me and rushed from the area in the same move. But I didn't hit the floor as I lost my balance for Jared was there as well as Edward. They each were holding an arm as they stood on each side of me.

"Ma please just give me the shirt." Jared yelled as he turned from me but not releasing me. He must have forgotten until Edward tapped him on the shoulder and gestured to his hand. Then shrugging his apologize he stepped from us, only for Merana to appear out of now on his back.

She didn't stay there long for how I didn't see it but in the next minute he had her in front of him with one hand wrapped around her waist while both of her hands were pressed between them, the other was unbuttoning the shirt as she wiggled and shouted no at him.

It was weird but cute. Yes to anyone on the outside it sounded bad but standing here watching their smiley faces as they fought it was cute. Then just as Jared was at the last button someone was knocking at the door.

Like always and forever, it was Alice who answered it and her smile just said that this was the turning point in the game. Cause just as she opened the door you heard Zander's booming voice, "Hey man are we going or …?" then just like that there was silence. For Jared had his back to the door and so Merana had her back to the door. Edward and I were off to side near the dining room so we saw it all.

Merana's shocked expression, Jared's smirk face, Alice beaming smile, the other Cullens or the ones present standing off to the side of the stairs snickering or gasping, Diana hiding behind Zander as she laughed, Lalan bent over laughing, Kalia slaping him on the back while hiding her own amusement behind her hand, and Esme frozen in shock on the stairs.

Jared though didn't miss a beat, he whirled Merana around and my assumptions were proven right; she was wearing shorts and a tube top. Ony I was shock as Jared ran his hand past his fannel shirt and fingered the tube top. "Seeing as Zan is early I'll let you keep my favorite shirt for now." Then he was gone as well as Zander and Lalan. Merana having caught her breath I think fell to the floor not even caring that the fannel shirt was bellowing out around her and showing off the black gym shorts and the pink and white flowery tube top she was wearing.

No one moved, Daina and Kalia came in but only to see if Merana was ok but had stopped. "He is going to pay." Merana suddenly screamed, then she was up and at the door screaming, "Jared you will pay mister. YOU HEAR ME?" then just like that we all were laughing, either on the floor or onto the person that was standing next to us, like me. Even Esme having lost herself to the moment, had to sit on the steps as she tried to gather herself and not fall to the floor like the rest of us. Merana was seething as she turned and looked at us, she just said, "He's got some balls!" then she too was on the floor laughing.

It was some time later that we finally calmed and made our way into the dinning room for there was suddenly many hungery indivuals and they ate real human food.

"So Merana what was that about this morning?" I asked while waiting for my food. Though I know how to cook, Edward and Esme always made it a point to cook for me.

"Oh he gets like that, especially when there are other males around. It's annoying but I just play along cause…" looking to her I could see her blushing as she looked everywhere but at me. I knew what she meant but I didn't want to rush or speak up, "it's hot how dominating he gets when proving I'm his."

Many choking sounds and gasps, plus snickers; especially from Diana who was as red as Merana or Kalia who was shoving her while snickering.

"So I'm not the only one with a possessive lover, who makes it his goal of projecting his stake in me!" she said as looked up and winked at me then Merana.

It was then that I realized that I was gasping or that Rose and Alice were snickering while stroking each of my hands. Yeah Edward can get possessive or snarky but that was only about my safety but then again what well he be like when I'm turned and I don't need protection. 'SHIT! He wouldn't, would he!'

Looking over to Edward I noticed he was doing everything but looking to me. Oh yeah he well, so seeing it as an opportunity I turned to Rose and asked her, "Has Emmett ever done anything like that to you?"

Rose froze as well as Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Edward. The only Cullen that was moving was Esme and she was bringing out the food. So she answered. "Bella dear, every guy in this family has made a fool of themselves in showing their possessiveness of their mates. Though to the extent of what Jared did no that was something none of them have ever or well ever do."

"Yes well Esme, sadly Jared and I have learned the hard way that not staking your claim early on can lead to some really strange things. Let alone awkward moments when it comes out that I am taken, especially when among comrades." Merana explained as she got up and helped with bringing in the food.

"So you have had trouble in the past with people learning you are a matted woman?" Esme asked stepping in Merana's way as she brought the last dish, or I hoped was the last dish. Cause there was a lot of food between the waffles, many types of eggs, hashbrowns, grits, and oatmeal, which is what Merana was carrying.

"No Esme, we have had trouble with people understanding that I was a taken woman and not interested." Merana stated as she sat the bowl down on the table. "It seems that several indivuals believe that bedding me will give them some status or power. Only to learn that I am a one man woman and that only he can stand the fire I carry."

More snickering and a very struck Esme who surprised me by buckling, now that had everyone in action as Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were by her side soothing her as well as moving her to a chair and Alice and Rose were just staring at Merana as they tried not to squeeze my hands while stoying their shock. Diana and Kalia were siting back down seeing as they weren't needed plus they were just as shocked as all of us.

Clearing my throat I spoke, saying what most likely we all were thinking. "Meaning as in the firey passion or as in the fire you control?"

"Both Bella, but to get to the passion you first have to survive my kiss." Ok that bothered me, especially since she kissed Edward. Then again so was everyone else, well besides Diana and Kalia who didn't know. "When I let go and just feel, I am a burning inferno that can either kill with a kiss or burn you from the inside out."

Moving around the boys Merana pulled on Emmett's shirt till he relented and took it off to show the marks on his shoulders. "Yesterday in my rush to get to you Bella, I let go and I hurt Emmett in the process." Gasping as I looked to Alice who just nodded and Rose who was rocking with sobs, being as they can't cry. I turned back to voice my question to find I didn't have a voice, so taking mercy Merana explained. "I had taken flight and in the process had snatched Emmett up by his shoulders. I was so focused on getting to you that I didn't notice that I was on fire or that it was different."

"Being on fire is natural to me and I can control it as you have come to learn, in that anyone around me that I see as friend well be unharmed. But yesterday was different for my claws had broken his skin and the fire and rage I felt was the next stage to my ascension. So it was hotter and I was not in control of it, so I burned Emmett. Almost killing him until I showed up here and started healing him. Only thing is I still need to heal him or he might succumb to my fire." At that she placed both of her hands on his shoulders over the marks and they started glowing, as well as Emmett's upper body. Gasping as she broke contact and sagging into the chair next to her she asked Emmett, "Does that feel better?"

"It's not as hot or burning but I can still feel the fire in my system." Emmett said looking to her then giving in he hugged her. She just patted him on the back then shoved him away and he was by us as he cuddled Rose.

"Maybe another day or two, but I still stand by my words. Emmett you are stronger then anyone knows. I have seen older and much stonger indivuals succomb in hours to my fire and that was before yesterday."

Esme now having control stood back up and pronounced breakfast. Edward was by me in minutes, Alice and Rose moved so they could be with their guys and give me space with Edward, and Diana and Kalia moved next to Merana to help her, even though Esme was there and already piling food onto her plate.

To say it was a good morning was not right but it was a morning I would never forget. For it showed me that one-day Edward would be an absolute fool in love when showing I'm his. At that I just smiled as I looked to him and thought of the ways to make him pay for that and to have it happen many more times.

So I hope that makes up and gives you reason to review. But hey I'm used to no comments and no slander so why now. I wasn't sure how far to take my lemon but after many rewrites and though I am happy with what I ended up with. And yes somewhere back along time ago I gave up on trying to follow the book. It just wasn't working out and no one was complaining. So yeah don't review and not tell me what you don't like and do like about my story. ~~ Mary Mab
