Chapter 31

Wild reunion.*

(*Rating M between two lines µµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµ. The story can be understood without having to read these passages.)

Beside me, I look at Jacob and Embry, my two bodyguards without whom Charlie would not have accepted that I go to Edward. It must be said that Alice had warned me that the place was not the most famous of the city. Embry and Jacob may be able to blend into the background with their tanned skin, as long as two teenagers almost six feet tall can do it, but me, the abinos, I'm out of place, especially since my friends frame. She looks more like a local mafia personality than a tourist, but at least I'm not bothered.

We dropped off our suitcases at the hotel Alice had booked for us. Obviously a four star. I let you imagine the face of the taxi driver when we indicated the direction of one of the most dangerous districts of the city. Right now, my sunglasses are saving my life, because I'm not far from it, even with my impressive friends and knowing that seven vampires were following us from afar.

On my advice, Alice had taken her husband and his friends to meet Zenna, Zafrina and Kachiri. The amazons had guided them into the forest to find the best prey. All seven had sympathized and thanks to the talent of Zafrina, they walked without fear through the city. The reason the three friends had come to help us was because they wanted to meet the shifters. They were curious to see the transformation up close and wanted to ask about the Quileute legends. Jacob and Embry were a little anxious, but very proud to be able to tell their legends.

There was a reason Alice and the others weren't following us closer. Edward had a highly developed gift, being able to spot his family members over a mile away without a problem. Also Jasper and my best friend were furthest from us, Garrett, Kate and the amazons had our backs at a closer distance. I carried my guitar case with me. I had the intuition that I would need music to make him understand how I felt and communicate with him.

However, I currently had another problem. Several people, apparently ill-intentioned, had also followed us. I preferred not to know how my immortal friends got rid of it, but in view of the gnashing of teeth of Jacob and Embry, it must not have been pretty pretty… Finally, I arrive in front of a seedy two-storey inn. Obviously, Edward was renting a small room there. The Quileutes escorted me up the stairs and I headed for the door alone.

I knock on the door and Edward's velvety voice answers me in Portuguese, at least I imagine, since this language is unknown to me. I turn the handle and open the door. Edward starts to shout something incomprehensible, but he stops as soon as he sees me. I close the door behind me and greet him:

"Hello sweetheart, it's been a while. »

Edward just stares at me for long minutes like he can't believe his eyes, then he runs his hands over his face and sobs:

"I'm going crazy, now I imagine it in front of me. »

It doesn't take long for me to realize that he believes he is living what Bella felt at the end of New Moon. We'll have to convince him that I'm really here. I then put my guitar case on the bed and put my hand on his cheek.

"Edward, it's me, I'm really here." I am not a figment of your imagination.

That's exactly what a hallucination would sound like. »

Alright! It's going to be more complicated than expected!

"What could I do to convince you that I am here with you?"

What I would like is that you do not disappear. Stay with me for eternity. »

I remain confused. Hold on ! He just asked me for permission to transform me, there?! No ! He takes me for the fruit of his imagination so he asks to hallucinate forever instead of going to find the real me… My lover is truly the most stubborn vampire I know.

So I decide I'll play him one of the music I worked on during his absence. Since it's also a song that hasn't been released yet, that should help convince him. The first notes of "Love me like you do" by Ellie Goulding resonate in the room. Edward stares at me, fascinated, as I accompany the melody with whatever verses I find most appropriate for our situation. At the end of the song, he's still stuck in the same position, staring at my engagement ring.

I decide to try something else: Demons from Imagine dragons played by Eddie van der Meer. In the middle of the song, Edward settles at my feet, sits on the floor and seems to drink in my words. When the song ends, it also ends, he begs me:

"Carry on my love… I missed your voice so much. »

At the trembling tone of his voice, if he could, he would cry. I decide to opt for a more positive song: It's my life by Bon Jovi. Edward closes his eyes and smiles, immediately I begin to relax. When I'm done playing, I put my guitar down and kneel down in front of him. He still closes his eyes, but his lips twist in pain. I hope my smell doesn't torture him too much after all this time away from me.

I gently press my lips to his and he sighs happily. I call him again and he finally opens his eyes:

"Bella…he huffs." »

I finally see realization in his eyes.

"Forgive me," he asks me in a whisper. I have been an idiot.

Yes ! I answer him frankly. »

I sigh. And pours out to him what I've been ruminating over the past few months:

"You are an immature moron, a liar and a bad tracker.

There, for sure, it's really you Eowyn!

Yes, I am there… In the very place where I knew I would find you almost three months after your caveman reaction, who decides everything without discussing it with his wife…

I guess it's me to be punished this time...

Yeah, we're going to put on our cabin chains and Emmett will lend us his flogger! I tease him. »

I must, however, look serious enough for Edward to be hesitant about how to react.

"Just kidding Edward!"

Oh ! »

I roll my eyes and tug on his hands to get him up. I'm starting to have pain in my knees. I push my guitar away and pull Edward to my side on the bed.

"It was beautiful," he whispers. I feel like the lyrics were kind of directed at me.

Nah, do you think so?!

It seems easier for you to express yourself through songs.

Believe me, there I don't need to sing to express what I want.

I'm listening to you.

I'd rather show you, I retort, pushing him onto his back on the bed. »

I sit astride her thighs, then lean into her face and claim her lips possessively.

"You put me through hell for nothing, I hiss through my teeth against his lips.

I'm sorry, he replies, pained.

Do you even realize what your unilateral decision entailed?

…

While you thought you were chasing Victoria, she was quietly backtracking and creating her little army of newborns in Seattle. »

Edward was clearly shocked. But I had not finished:

I had to drag my dad to Alaska to find a way to find you before she sent me her little gang. So, thanks to you, I have a new mother-in-law who is over a thousand years old, but looks barely twenty.

I… I don't understand… Edward stutters.

You're gonna have to do better than that, Mr. Cullen, because now you're gonna have a hard time sneaking into my room every night with Tanya in my dad's room. And if it was difficult for you to think about Esme's sexuality, imagine hearing my father moaning Tanya's name in the next room!

Tanya? he exclaims, startled. With your father ?

Yes… I spit. Are you beginning to see the trouble you've caused me?

How can I be forgiven ? »

I see from his crooked smile that the situation amuses him. Wait to experience the situation a bit before rejoicing Edward… We'll see if you'll be laughing so much in a few days.

"Edward, I'm serious.

But me too. I really want to be forgiven.

Make me moan louder than my father then, to drown out the noises.

Do you want us to… Well… we… when your dad's around? »

That's it, I managed to scare him. I was right ! My dad is scarier than a vampire to my boyfriend...

"I thought you really wanted to make amends?"

Do I need to remind you of the stake he carved specifically to drive into my heart if I hurt you?

Anyway, you'll have to tell him that you spent many nights in his daughter's room and that you intend to continue... Because now that I've found you, it's in your interest to use me as a comforter every f*k3ing night to make up for all the nightmares I got from all the disgusting images I must have seen while following your trail and that of the red-haired psychopath!

You saw…

Tons of corpses emptied of their blood… Yes! »

My last words testify to my emotion through the tremolo of my voice. Edward then serves me against him, bewildered by what I saw, perhaps beginning to understand the difficulties I had to face. I start kissing her neck. Now that I've emptied my bag, my desire for him grows exponentially every time my skin comes into contact with him. I even end up licking his skin and he grunts with pleasure. I see him trying to get up, but I stop him with a gesture. Oh no, dear! I lead the dance.

µµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµ

I pull my top over my head and unhook my bra under his appreciative gaze. I take her hands and place them on my chest. The temperature of his hands makes my nipples instantly perk up and I moan. I deliberately sit on the bulge in his pants eliciting another groan from him. I open his shirt slowly, licking his skin as I go and hear a purr of contentment.

µµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµ

"Hmmm, I love it when you purr, it reminds me of my motorbike…

Pleasure ? Edward asks suddenly, immediately stopping purring.

I got into extreme sports to compensate for the loss of our trips to the forest.

How so ? he said, pushing himself up on his elbows.

Well I got into motocross and then there was cliff jumping.

Beautiful! But are you crazy!?

Of you ! Yes !

Do not change the subject ! he grumbles, pushing me away, holding my wrists. You could have killed yourself!

I was with Paul all the time!

The wolf ?

Yes, I answer with a roll of my eyes. I don't know of any others who are called like that at La Push...

Did you spend a lot of time with him?

Yeah, a bundle. It helped me increase my stamina."

He growls. Oh oh ! I just woke up his jealousy… Let's see what I can get out of it. He asks me between his teeth.

" And what does it mean ?

That we both ended up getting soaked several times after having a good time. »

I see his face harden. I may have gone too far. I don't have time to tell him that I'm kidding, that he turns my back to the mattress. He then kisses me wildly. He had never let down the barriers so much. His hands framed my face preventing me from moving away. He grabs my left hand and shows me the ring he gave me.

"Finally, it was I who was your toy. »

His voice is filled with despair and I feel miserable for having tried to tease him when he too had suffered from our estrangement. I put my right hand on his cheek and tell him everything.

"He's just a friend. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have led you to believe that something had happened with him.

You... You didn't replace me? he asks with hope and relief.

To have fun to the point of sweating in bed, I see no one but you. You will be the one and only man to share my bed. The only one to whom I will give the chance to make me his own and to cherish me until the end of my life. »

My words seem to make him realize something and he kisses me passionately, then asks me.

" May I ? Do you allow me to make you mine?

I accepted your marriage proposal.

I mean, now.

I thought that…

I also thought it was the most important thing to respect tradition, but what you just told me is basically wedding vows. I don't want to wait for the ceremony. I want to make you mine now.

So what are you waiting for? I whisper to him."

µµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµµ

He removes one by one all the barriers that separates him from my skin, takes off his clothes and we find ourselves, naked as worms and breathless with impatience and desire. His lips are dotting me with kisses, tracing wet lines down my neck, across my chest, my stomach, and finally my shivering core of pleasure. I arch my back in response to his breath directly on my clitoris. He then begins to gently lick the little piece of flesh, sucking it from time to time, which sends electric shocks throughout my body.

He then slides a finger inside me causing my lower abdomen to tighten. He puts his nose against my wet slit and purrs with pleasure. He adds a second finger and wiggles them both. I cling to his hair and he grunts in response. His movements become faster and I receive the full force of my shot of pleasure hormones. I'm still high when Edward gently removes his fingers from my vagina and brings them to his mouth, licking them and purring. This sight is f*cking erotic and I pull her into a wild, passionate kiss.

I feel him move slightly. His member throbs against my pelvis and he makes a few movements back and forth against me, leaving a wet trail in passing, which testifies to his excitement. He grabs his erect penis, brings it closer to my privacy and asks me if I still want it.

"I want it, I want you. I'm your wife, Edward, I reply looking at him with all the love I feel for him. »

And I feel it penetrate me. OH WOW! Hold on ! Was it so wide? I force myself to relax. He waits as I enter, while I get used to the feeling. When my temporary panic subsides, I grab his buttocks and pull him towards me. He soon blocks against my hymen and he looks at me hesitantly. I smile at him, trying to convey all the confidence in him. He quickly passes the barrier, stopping as soon as he feels me tense.

Once the brief pain is over, I rock my pelvis against his and he starts moving again, alternating between moans and grunts. I hear the headboard shattering, the sheets ripping, as our bodies move in unison, my hot body warming his and becoming one with him. Suddenly, he freezes, emits a louder growl than the previous ones and I feel a jet of cold liquid invade my lower abdomen. He touches a sensitive spot in my vagina and throws me overboard.

Edward is shaking as he hugs me. I kiss his shoulder and his neck and he looks at me with devotion. He then pulls away from me and takes me in his arms, cradling me against him.

"Quest successful… You will soon be getting married. Congratulations ! And you didn't even have to slap him! You will therefore be granted a bonus: + 10 in charisma… Don't forget to think about ordering sugared almonds…"

I chuckle. I finally begin to appreciate the somewhat twisted remarks of the developers.
