Chapter 10- Fighting Temptations
The final bell rang to end the school day, releasing Rosalie from her personal hell. Repeating high school over again in her vampire body was bad enough. Repeating high school in a human body, Bella's to be exact, was even worse!
But repeating high school for the zillionth time was the least of Rosalie's concerns. Today, whether she wanted to or not, Rosalie had to meet up with Edward afterschool so she could get the stupid charm bracelet back that may or may not save her ass from completely disappearing.
This wouldn't have been a problem for Rosalie if she weren't currently having sexual fantasies about her adoptive brother. She went from completely hating his guts to wanting to jump his bones in a matter of seconds.
Having finally reached a decision after much debating, Rosalie finally pulled into the Cullen's driveway. Desperation had outweighed her common sense.
Before she could change her mind and drive back to Bella's house, Edward swung open the front door.
"Bella!" Edward quickly greeted his ex-girlfriend.
"Edward" Rosalie replied curtly, bushing past him into the mansion.
"Where is everybody?" Rosalie asked when she noticed that the house was unusually quiet. It was almost eerily quiet.
"Alice had a vision about Victoria. They're out hunting her down as we speak" Edward informed her, closing the door behind him.
"Why aren't you out helping them?" Rosalie asked suspiciously.
"I stayed back to protect you".
Rosalie rolled her eyes. Edward's nonchalant response infuriated her greatly. How was it fair that her family's asses were out there right now risking their own lives for Bella while Edward got to sit back and protect Bella?
It was complete fuckery, that's what it was!
"Okay, let's get this over with. Where's the bracelet?" Rosalie asked impatiently, ready to get this whole thing over with ASAP.
" You'll get your bracelet back once you hold up your end of the bargain" Edward reminded her.
"Fine" Rosalie pouted, stubbornly crossing her arms over her chest, "Talk".
"Alright, follow me" Edward said, disappearing down the hallway.
Rosalie could sense that something else was going on but she had no other choice but to follow Edward down the hall. If she ever wanted to be herself again, she was going to have to suck it up and do what he asked.
Rosalie suddenly found herself in Edward's private piano room. It was the only room in the mansion where everyone in the family, excluding Esme and Bella, were banned from entering without his permission.
Rosalie stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, waiting for further instructions from Edward.
Edward had taken a seat on the piano bench, waiting for Rosalie to join him. When she didn't follow, he patted the empty spot beside him.
"That's waaaay too close for comfort," Rosalie thought anxiously, especially in her current condition.
Besides, weren't they supposed to be talking right now?
"I'll just stand here," Rosalie told him.
Edward nodded once and then placed his hands on the delicate keys in front of him.
The room was suddenly filled with the most beautiful arrangement of minor notes and chords.
Rosalie watched in fascination as Edward's slender fingers glided across the keys with ease. She suddenly found herself sitting in her designated spot beside Edward, enjoying the rest of Bella's lullaby.
The last minor chord rang out throughout the hollow room, leaving Rosalie confused. It hadn't ended in a happy way. Then it suddenly occurred to her. Edward was using the music to tell her how he felt about their relationship. Well his and Bella's relationship.
"Edward, that was beautiful" Rosalie whispered, turning to face him. She usually wasn't one to give out compliments but that was the most beautiful thing that she'd ever heard in a long time.
"Just like you" Edward replied, matching her tone of voice.
He was so close to her now. Edward was going to kiss Rosalie if she wasn't careful.
"Edward-"
"Dance with me" Edward asked quickly, leaving no room for her to protest.
"But there's no music" Rosalie said uncomfortably.
"We don't need it" Edward stood up from the piano bench, holding out his hand for Rosalie to take it.
Rosalie frowned at both Edward's invitation and the fact that she came so close to kissing him.
She had to remember what she came here for.
"Edward, I need that bracelet now" Rosalie murmured, ready to take the bracelet and run.
"Dance with me first" Edward demanded, trying to keep his anger at bay.
Why was she so obsessed with that fucking bracelet? Was there something going on between Bella and Jacob that he didn't know about?
That didn't matter now because after tonight, Edward was going to make sure that Bella forgot all about that stupid mutt.
"You are feeling absolutely no sexual urges towards Edward" Rosalie repeated over and over again in her head as she slipped her tiny hand into his larger one.
She gasped when Edward pulled her flush against his body. Rosalie could feel everything… and I mean everything.
Edward started to lead Rosalie around the room in a waltz. It didn't take long before she suddenly tripped over her own feet.
She sighed in frustration at Bella's uncoordinated body," Wow, I actually can't dance for shit".
"Let me show you how" Edward whispered seductively in her ear, causing Rosalie to shudder, "Step up on my feet".
Rosalie hesitantly stepped up onto Edward's feet, wrapping one arm around his neck and keeping her other hand placed in his.
Edward held her protectively against his body by her waist and began leading Rosalie around the room once again.
"Enjoying yourself?" Edward smirked, loving the way she was reacting to his skilled dancing.
"Maybe a little too much" Rosalie answered breathlessly, heat rising to her cheeks instantly.
You are feeling absolutely no sexual urges towards Edward
"Have I ever told you how much I love your blush?" Edward asked, brushing his cold hand across Rosalie's heated cheek.
Rosalie hadn't realized that they stopped dancing, "I'm sure you h-have".
"The way your blood rushes to your cheeks… it's just so tempting. Do you enjoy tempting me, Bella?" Edward's face was barely a few inches away from Rosalie's now.
"E-Edward?" Rosalie asked fearfully, only now taking in how lust filled his eyes were.
"I'm more than okay" Edward replied, replacing his hand on Rosalie's cheek with his lips.
Rosalie sighed in content. The feeling of her hot flesh against his cold lips was amazing.
The last bit of Rosalie's common sense flew out the window as she gave into Edward.
The hormonal teenager was suddenly carried off into another room and was lowered down onto a soft mattress.
Edward's hands and lips were suddenly all over Rosalie.
The emotions Rosalie was feeling was almost overwhelming. Just the slightest touch from Edward caused her to writhe uncontrollably in pleasure. It was almost embarrassing.
" I want you to forget about him," Edward groaned, placing his lips on Rosalie's neck, " You belong to me, not him".
Rosalie moaned. She had no clue what he was talking about but possessive Edward was fucking sexy.
"Forget all about that stupid bracelet. I'll give you a better one that will remind you of me and me only," Edward growled, hitching one of Rosalie's legs around his waist.
"Shit!" Rosalie cursed, trying to shove Edward off of her, " Edward, stop!"
Edward immediately froze and stared down at Rosalie with wide eyes.
" Did I hurt you? Bella, I'm so sorry! Forgive me!" Edward gasped, panic clear in his voice. Jealously had taken over him once again, letting out the evil beast within him.
"No Edward, you didn't hurt me" Rosalie tried to explain. She slid out from underneath his body and ran into the bathroom.
Rosalie turned on the faucet and splashed some cool water over her face. What the hell was she doing? She came here for the bracelet, not to get it on with Bella's boyfriend! God only knows how far they would have gone if Edward hadn't said anything.
Oh god, and Emmett! How could Rosalie do this to him? This was the very thing that she didn't want to happen! She allowed this stupid curse take over her body!
This was all going to end right now.
Rosalie stepped out of the bathroom and nearly crashed into Edward.
"Are you okay, Bella? Please talk to me!" Edward begged. He felt terrible for pushing her so far. This was why he didn't want to get intimate with her. He just thought that if he didn't, he might loose her again.
"I promise I will never push you like that ever again," Edward vowed.
"I believe you Edward but what I want from you right now is that bracelet. It's time for you to hold up your end of the bargain now. I need to set things right".
Edward fumed silently. What did she mean by set things right? Did she mean she was going to leave him for Jacob? Maybe it was time for Edward to let her go. It was his fault anyways for leaving her here with Jacob for so long. He should have never left.
Edward ran from the room at vampire speed to get to his Volvo outside. He searched every last inch of his car for the bracelet but there was still no sign of it.
Edward returned to his bedroom empty handed, "I looked everywhere for the bracelet but I can't find it".
"Damnit, I need that bracelet! That's the only reason why I came here in the first place!" Rosalie yelled.
"I'm sorry, Bella" Edward apologized, pain evident in his eyes. Bella only came here for the bracelet. In other words, she came here for Jacob, not him.
If Edward only knew how wrong he was.
"I need to get home," Rosalie said, buttoning up her blouse and storming out of the room.
Edward ran after her, " Just let me take you home. Please, Bella. I'll get Alice to drop off your truck once she get's back".
Rosalie couldn't refuse Edward's request once she saw the pain and desperation in his eyes. It was killing her just as much as it was killing him. She had absolutely no control over her own emotions anymore.
If Edward didn't have the bracelet anymore, it could be anywhere by now.
The chances of these girls ever getting their own bodies back were now slim to none.
