Bella's POV
Over the course of the next couple of weeks we fell into a quick rhythm of living together, with the focal point being who would spend the night with me every day. To avoid any form of arguments I had put my foot and made a schedule who would be in my bed for the night during the week while in the weekends we made the living room into a big bedroom so they could all be close to me, and so far the arrangements seemed to work because it was Friday morning and I was cocooned in Esme's arms as I had been on the last two Fridays.
She purred contently as she nuzzled my neck. "You smell so incredible now that you've got our scent on you. I could stay like this all day." She said softly as she caressed my stomach.
I moaned softly and leaned my head to the side to give her even more access. "As much as I would like to say the same. I promised Rosalie to go car shopping with her. She keeps insisting that it is high time I get a car that can go faster than thirty miles per hour."
"Well she's right love. You deserve a proper car, as well as anything else your heart could possibly desire." Esme said softly.
I smiled and kissed her softly as I turned around in her arms. "Yes, you've all made that abundantly clear over the last couple of months."
Esme smiled at me. "Well it's true love. You don't ever have to be afraid to ask something of us. Chances are that there is very little we'll say no to."
"I know love, and I am getting better at accepting things from you all. It just takes some getting used to that there are five women who love me so much that they would spend a small fortune to make me happy." I said softly.
Esme smiled and kissed me. "We would move heaven and earth to make you happy, my love."
I smiled at her as I turned around in her arms. "I know Esme, but I don't need that when I have all of you. You all are my heaven and earth and I would gladly be caught in limbo forevermore."
She smiled at me as she once again wrapped her arms around me. "As much as I would like to show you what those sweet words do to me, I'm afraid your Goddess might be a bit annoyed with me if I kept you in bed any longer. So I'll make you a deal. You go and take a shower and take care of your morning business while I go and fix your breakfast."
I smiled and nodded as I pecked her on the lips. "That seems like a good plan, although I also wouldn't mind having some fun with you. It's been so long."
"I know love, but one thing we have is time. Just think of it like this, anticipation makes the dish tastes so much sweeter." Esme said with a soft smile.
I nodded and gave her a last kiss as I rolled off her so I could take care of my morning routine and take a quick shower, knowing full well that Rosalie had more planned today then just buying me a new car. I also had a feeling we would also buy other expensive things that she knew I needed in the near future, since she never let an opportunity slip to spend some alone time with me outside of the bedroom and spoil me, although that was something they all did.
After taking a quick shower and doing some necessary maintenance I wasn't even surprised to see an outfit read and waiting for me, an outfit I might add that had Alice written all over it. I quickly got dressed before I made my way downstairs. "Good morning love. You look amazing today." Alice said as she pulled me into her arms.
I smiled and kissed her softly. "Thank you Ali. Am I right in guessing that you are responsible for my outfit today?"
She nodded and nuzzled her nose in my neck. "I figured you and Rose would visit some high end car dealers today, so it would be better if you looked the part a little, and I have to say that you look amazing."
I smiled at her. "Thank you Ali, but we both know I can only look this amazing because one of my girlfriends is a fashionista who not too long ago bought me an entirely new wardrobe."
Alice grinned at me as we walked to the kitchen. "Even without my visions I always knew you would look amazing in a skirt."
"The fact that it makes other activities a lot easier is just a bonus right?" I asked with a smile.
"Well, I'll be honest and say that it was not an entirely selfish choice." She said with a wink.
I smiled and pressed a kiss to her cheek as I took a seat at the kitchen island where Rosalie was already waiting for me, looking absolutely stunning in her red dress. "Good morning love."
I kissed her softly before taking a sip of my coffee. "Good morning my Goddess. Am I finally going to hear what you have planned for today, just so I know I'm dressed appropriately of course?"
"Nice try love, but it's still a surprise. I can say that you look absolutely perfect for what I've planned for us today. If only we could pair this with some nice heels, but I know that would only have an adverse effect." Rosalie said with a sultry smile as she ran her hand up my leg.
"Rose, no sexing up Bella while she's having breakfast. We talked about this." Esme said only semi sternly.
Rosalie smiled at her. "I honestly wasn't Esme. I was merely admiring her skirt."
Esme quirked an eyebrow as both Victoria and Heidi joined us, kissing my cheek before they sat down. "Sure you were Rosie. You just wanted to admire our little love in this sexy outfit just like the rest of us."
I blushed a little at that as I ate my breakfast, figuring it was easier to focus on that instead of getting dragged into the endless teasing that had become a bit of a norm for us.
Rosalie's POV
Once we were in the car after Bella had her breakfast, I felt it was time to tell Bella of my plan for today. "Because you've been such a good girl and have not badgered me too much about telling you about my surprise. I think you've earned to know now that we're alone. We'll be going to a couple of dealerships to look at a couple of cars. I have instructed Alice not to look into our futures today because I want this to be your choice. After we've bought a car for you we'll go shopping for some things to fill that pretty desk you've got in your room."
She smiled at me. "I figured this was more than just car shopping. I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't have let me dress up just for that."
I smiled at her as I backed out of the garage. "Well, it's scientifically proven that car salespeople respond better to a certain type of dress, which is why I asked Alice to lay out this specific outfit. It will help us get a better deal. It also does double function as a date outfit while we're out browsing for other things."
"And what other things would that be, babe?" She asked with a soft smile.
"Well, since you seem awfully adamant on becoming a serious writer. I figured you might appreciate a new laptop and computer, and perhaps everything else you might need to pursue your dream." I said with a soft smile, hoping to ward off an argument about us spending so much money on her.
Bella just smiled at me. "While you all know how much I hate the fact that you're all so willing to spend small fortunes on me, I've made peace with the fact that people do crazy things for love, and even more so when your lovers happen to be vampires that are mated to you. It'll still take time for me to come to grips with it."
I smiled at her before pressing a kiss to her cheek. "I know love, but by the end of the day you won't have to worry about that anymore. Alice has a guy that makes fake ID's and credit cards and she got word that they should arrive today. You'll be able to spend our money exactly how you want to spend it."
She smiled at that. "Knowing me it'll be gas for a while, but I think in time I'll be able to use it for more useful things."
"That's fine love. One thing we have is time. We'll turn you into a woman of leisure yet." I said with a wink.
"I have no doubt about that Rose. I have very good examples after all." Bella said with a cheeky smile.
I smiled at her as I pulled into our first stop, which was a Mercedes dealership. "Careful now love, we wouldn't want to give the upstanding people here a free show of exactly how devoted you are to your Goddess, now do we?"
She shook her head at me. "No, I'll be good, Goddess."
I smiled and kissed her softly. "Good girl. I'll be sure to reward you for that tonight." I said with a wink as we got out of the car.
Bella blushed at that as I hooked my arm through hers as we walked into the showroom, where of course immediately one of those slick car salesmen came up to us. "Good morning ladies, looking for the next car of your dreams?"
"Perhaps, mostly we are just looking if you have something that strikes our fancy. We're very particular about our cars." I said in an attempt to get him to let us look around for a bit.
Fortunately he seemed to get the hint and backed off so we could browse in peace, as odd as that may sound in a car dealership where most cars were this expensive. "So love, what exactly would you like in a car?" I asked softly.
Bella shrugged at that. "I don't know, I'm not exactly the authority on cars am I?"
I smiled at her. "I know love, but we've talked about your potential car a lot over the last month and I know you at least have wishes in a car."
She nodded at that. "That is very true, and I suppose now knowing money isn't an issue, I think I'd go comfort over speed, so I think I would want to go for every available comfort option and perhaps a bit of a sleeker model. I really don't want to look clunky while I'm driving ever again. Oh, and I would love for it to be a convertible."
I smiled at that. "See, I knew you had preferences. That's all picking out a new car is, matching what you like with what is on offer. Any preferences for color? Although I think I can guess."
"Black of course. That should be a no-brainer." Bella said matter of factually.
I smiled at that. "I knew it, I just wanted to be sure."
Bella smiled and gave my hand a loving squeeze as I showed her a couple of options that I thought would suit her.
She seemed to be more than willing to indulge my little rants on each car, smiling broadly the entire time until we found her dream car which happened to be the brand new E-class Mercedes, which I had to admit was an amazing choice. It was supremely comfortable and looked amazing, and I had to admit it was hot seeing her sit in the driver's seat of that.
Once she had made up her mind the same guy came up to us to guide us through the sale, as well as taking note of all the extra's Bella wanted on her car.
He told us it would take a week to have her car here, and I barely contained my smile when I said that we would pay in full right now, it never failed to amuse me how humans reacted to that.
Bella's POV
After we spent an ungodly amount on a car we were on our way to the nearest electronics store to buy me a computer, laptop and whatever else Rosalie thought I would need to get started on my writing.
Thankfully this was a subject where I had done some research on, mostly thanks to Emmett, who had kept bugging me for four days in Volterra to spend some time with him to help me pick out the perfect computer.
This did not mean I wasn't going to take my time in picking it out, wanting to make sure it exactly fit my preferences.
As we pulled into the parking lot I couldn't help but smile at Rosalie. "You know babe, I never thought you would be so willing to step into an electronics store without Emmett being here."
Rosalie smiled at me as we got out of the car. "Contrary to popular belief I like electronics stores, I just loathe video games. One needs a good TV in this day and age. Which reminds me that I need to pick up something for Esme too now that we're here."
"Is it that the home entertainment system I've heard so much about?" I asked with a soft smile.
She nodded at that. "Indeed it is my love. Tonight we'll have our first movie night as a Coven where the sounds matches the picture quality."
"The more I hear everyone talk about us being a Coven, the more I see us wearing matching black dresses and pointy hats standing around a cauldron." I said with a smile.
Rosalie laughed at that, which honestly was a first for me. "Perhaps that is something we can do on Halloween, but we usually call it a Coven because our bonds go deeper than family, even between vampires who do not share a bond like ours. Because we're such solitary creatures it only means more when we do decide to stay together."
I nodded at her as we walked into the store, taking one of those bigger carts with us so that we had the room we needed to put everything on, since I basically needed a full setup, including monitors, a proper keyboard and a mouse, and perhaps a printer too, if at any point I would need to proof read something.
Since I would probably spend more time figuring out which computer I wanted then actually buying it, I sent Rose to go and get our new entertainment system. I figured it was easier to do that now and have that in the car than potentially make an extra trip and give something away.
Thankfully it was rather busy for a Friday which meant that the staff was mostly busy with helping people around the store, which left me with the time I needed to make an informed decision on my new computer and laptop.
As expected Rosalie was back within five minutes with the cart. "So love, did you find the right one already?"
"Not yet, but I think it won't take too long for us to find the right one since most of the staff is busy leaving us plenty of time to find the computer, and probably everything else I might need. I have a very specific set-up in mind." I said with a soft smile.
Rosalie smiled at that. "I'm not surprised. Once you set your mind to something there is little anyone can say to put you off it."
I shrugged at that. "True, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. You seem to like my stubborn nature in the bedroom."
"That is very true, since it always leads to such pleasurable evenings." Rosalie said with a sultry smile.
I smiled and kissed her softly. "As I am sure tonight will be too, but business before pleasure as they say." I said with a soft smile.
Rosalie smiled at me as she seemed content to let me browse a little and since a laptop would be easier to pick out, I focused on that first. The biggest benefit was that I wouldn't need a beefy graphics card for either of them so that should at least save in the cost a little. All I really needed was good processing power and storage.
Knowing now that money wasn't an issue, I picked out the best laptop I could find that had the specs I needed. It had more than enough storage space to last me at least a few novels and it would be good for at least a few years.
The computer on the other hand seemed a bit of a tougher nut to crack because the only one that really had what I wanted was so high end that I really didn't want to spend that much money on a computer, and apparently those doubts were plainly written on my face. "I know what you're thinking love, and if this is the only one that fits what you need, just get it. You know money is not an issue."
"I know, but it's just outrageously expensive. It's not the only thing I need either." I said softly.
Rosalie smiled and wrapped her arms around me. "I know love, but you deserve the best. We know you'll be a great writer and you deserve the best equipment to realize your dream."
I smiled and kissed her softly as I loaded the computer onto cart. "Fine, you've convinced me."
"I'm quite good at that aren't I? Now, what else do you need?" She asked with a soft smile.
I just smiled and led her over to the monitors, where we spent another half our going over which two monitors I wanted, which was then repeated by the search for a proper keyboard, mouse and printer.
We ended up spending way more on all of this than I ever would be comfortable with, but knowing that Rosalie and probably the others too were only wanting me to live out my dreams made it more okay with me to spend this amount of money.
Rosalie's POV
That night after dinner the entire Coven had settled themselves in the living room, now with its new home entertainment system installed, all of us ready for the first movie we were going to watch together and since Bella had basically banned wearing bras in the house, we were all either topless or in a tank top while we worked on making the living room into a makeshift bedroom for tonight.
Bella had already claimed her spot in my lap, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts that might very well be painted onto that pert little ass while I was wearing nothing but a crimson colored thong.
Next to us was Alice, who seemingly didn't believe in underwear altogether anymore, sitting in Esme's lap naked as the day she was born. Esme herself had retained some of her modesty, since she wore an admittedly cute top and a pair of shorts.
On our other side were Heidi and Victoria were naked besides their underwear and looked extremely adorable cuddled up together while also trying to be as close to Bella as possible. "So? What are we watching tonight?" Bella asked once she had gotten completely comfortable.
"That completely depends on what you're in the mood for baby. We could go every which way." Alice said with a soft smile.
Bella smiled at that. "Well, since last week was a comedy, I think I'm in the mood for some action tonight, and no, not the orgy kind of action."
"Is that why your nipples are so hard, mia Bella?" Heidi asked with a smirk as she nuzzled Victoria's neck.
Even Esme smiled at that. "She has a point love. We can all smell how aroused you are and while I would love a simple movie night, I think a night of love will do us good."
I smiled and nuzzled my nose in Bella's neck. "I said while we were shopping that this might be a possibility for tonight. We're all feeling a bit possessive of you now that our scents linger on your skin."
She moaned softly at that. "I know, because I feel it in my heart, but I also know that I wouldn't be able to stay awake for an all out orgy, nor am I certain I would survive that."
I saw Alice's eyes cloud over for just a second before she grinned. "Yeah, an orgy would leave us all a bit disappointed. What we could do, is split into two groups and have some fun that way."
Both Heidi and Victoria pouted a little at that. "Trust me that the moment I am turned we're going to do this properly. That is my promise. I just don't think I could properly give you all the pleasure you deserve without passing out today." Bella said softly.
We all smiled at her and I couldn't help but press a kiss to her neck. "Then how would you like to do this baby?" I asked softly.
Bella smiled at me. "Well, you and Alice have said more than once to properly show me what it is like to have a threesome, so if the others are okay with it, I would like to have some fun with you two."
Esme smiled at that. "Of course we don't mind sweetie, it's been while since I had the opportunity to be intimate with Heidi, and I would love the chance to show Victoria how we used to do this in the Volturi."
Bella smiled at her as she gave our matriarch a kiss before we all switched places. Victoria ended up in the middle of the two brunettes who had now straddled one of her legs, while Alice and I busied ourselves with Bella after we put a bit of distance between Esme, Heidi and Victoria so that we wouldn't get in each other's way.
Since Alice was already naked she had already straddled one of Bella's legs and was kissing her way down Bella's neck while squeezing one of those perfect breasts. "You don't play fair Pixie. Wait until we're both ready to pleasure our mate." I said as I peeled off my thong.
Alice pouted a little at that. "That's not fair since you've had all day with her."
"And you had all day with her yesterday and I didn't complain then. Besides, you heard her, she wants both of us to show her, and that means equal time from both of us."
"She's right Ali. We agreed on equal time months ago, and we also agreed to not be jealous about me spending time with the others. I will not become a bargaining chip." Bella said softly.
"I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to sound jealous. I'm just impatient." Alice said softly.
Bella smiled and kissed her as she took off her shorts. "I know my little Pixie is impatient sometimes, but if you're willing to wait five seconds, I promise to make it worth the wait. I have special plans for my Pixie tonight." She said sultrily.
Alice moaned softly as I latched myself to the side of her neck. "So have I. It's something Bella and I talked about in the car. We knew that this was a big possibility tonight." I said in an equally sultry tone.
Bella smirked at her as she straddled the Pixie and started playing with her breasts while pressing soft kisses to the other side of Alice's neck.
Alice moaned loudly at that as Bella and I slowly but surely switched positions so that she was behind Alice and I ended up straddling her. "So tell me Alice. Has anyone ever played with that pert little ass of yours before?" Bella asked softly.
She shook her head at that. "No, I never let anyone touch me there, but I want to try this with you."
Bella smiled at her. "That's good to know, and you don't have to worry, I'm not going to do anything tonight, besides playing with those perfect globes of course. An ass like this is begging to be squeezed. When we do this, we'll be alone."
Alice moaned softly as Bella squeezed those pale and perfect globes while I busied myself with playing with that perfect little pussy of hers. "You're so wet Ali. How much of this did you see to work yourself up so much?"
"Most of it. It's been a long time since I saw such vivid images of our intimate times together. I have also seen you two want to fuck me, and I need that tonight, so please Rosie, get the strap-ons and fuck me. I can't take this teasing." Alice said with a needy moan.
I smirked and reached under the couch, where I had already stashed two of our communal strap-ons, handing the one with added stimulation to Bella. "Then it is a good thing I thought ahead for once. Lie down baby, and we'll give you exactly what you want."
Alice nodded and let herself slide down Bella's body onto the mattress we had placed, her head being almost perfectly positioned in Bella's lap.
I then slowly slipped the bright red strap-on into her at the same time she sucked the head of the black one Bella was wearing into her mouth, making all three of us moan, since we had gone the extra mile and had invested in quality toys that added extra stimulation.
It didn't take long for the three of us to lose ourselves in each other, barely noticing that next to us Esme, Victoria and Heidi were in a very similar situation, and it was only when we were all sated and cuddled up together that I noticed how blissed out Victoria looked.
