Carlisle scooped her up as they reached the threshold of the beach house they'd be staying in for the next couple of weeks before they started their tour around Europe. Bella couldn't hold in the giggle that came out as he carried her easily across the threshold. It was official, she was married to him, and she couldn't be happier. Her arms were looped around his neck as he carried her across the floor, setting her down at the foot of the huge king-sized bed. Her hands cupped the back of his neck, her fingers tangled in his hair as she stood on her tip toes to kiss him.
She could feel his smile against her lips as he pulled away, those beautiful eyes of his gleaming with happiness as he gazed at her. His fingers brushed against the side of her face, pushing her hair back and tucking it behind her ear. His thumb traced her jaw coming back to her lips, running over her bottom lip, his eyes staring intensely at her. It was a familiar look and one she was sure she shared.
They wanted each other.
It had been weeks, if not months, since they were last intimate with each other thanks to the whole Damien fiasco, and now that they had put it behind them, she wasn't sure how to start it back up. From the conflicted feelings she could feel from Carlisle, he felt the same way. An idea popped into her head, and since his thumb was still at her lips, she parted them and gently sucked his thumb into her mouth. Carlisle let out a soft little grunt as pleasure spiked through the bond.
Grinning, she swirled her tongue around his thumb, watching his eyes dilate as his mind supplied him with thoughts of her lips and tongue elsewhere. Her hands trailed down his shoulders to his chest as she continued to tease his thumb, turning him towards the bed. Releasing his thumb, she started to unbutton his dress shirt and paused when she noticed a silver chain around his neck. Looping a finger around it, she gently pulled it free of his shirt to reveal the ring she'd given him for Valentine's Day.
"You kept it." She whispered mostly to herself.
"Of course." He whispered back.
"I've never seen you wear it."
"I tried; it's too small for my fingers." Silently cursing herself, he simply grinned. "I don't mind though; I like it as a necklace."
Nodding, she lightly pushed him back till he was seated on the bed, her hands resuming their unbuttoning of his shirt until it hung open from his shoulders. Stepping between his legs she slowly knelt in front of him, a little zing of satisfaction going through her at the obvious bulge already forming in his pants. Her fingers danced over his bare chest and abdomen tracing his muscles as he watched her with that searing gaze of his. Dropping her hands to his thighs she leaned forward and licked a trail from the top of his pants up over his belly button. His cock, currently pressed against her breasts as her tongue continued to tease around his belly button, jerked as Carlisle flexed his abdomen.
Leaning back, she ran her hands up his thighs to the button and popped it open, pulling the zipper down teasingly slowly, before sliding her hand into his pants palming his erection. Carlisle gave a soft sigh, his eyes closing as she stroked him several times through his boxer briefs. She half expected the man to purr as she lowered the front of his boxer briefs, taking his cock in hand. Leaning forward she licked him from base to tip in a slow languid lick, his thighs twitching as he groaned lowly.
Giving him a little smile, she took him in her mouth, humming around his length. Carlisle inhaled sharply, his cock pulsing against her tongue. She ran her tongue along the vein that ran the length of his cock, teasing the slit of his cock with the tip of her tongue when she reached the head. Having fun teasing him, she ran her tongue around the head of his cock, giving it a hard suck while her fingers lightly stroked his shaft.
She continued to stroke him as she sucked and lapped at the head of his cock, loving the growing desperate little whines and trembling of his thighs as he tried to hold back his need for more. He wasn't above begging for what he wanted, and she knew she could push him to it if she wanted to, but this wasn't one of those times. Dropping down his length she started to bob on his cock, using her tongue against the underside of his cock the way he liked. Carlisle's head fell backward as one of his hands came to rest in her hair, a deep moan vibrating out of him, his hips rocking up to meet her.
"Oh, Bella, I won't last long…" He moaned as she dropped lower.
Humming around him, she bobbed faster. She could feel him watching her, his fingers flexing in her hair, as his moans grew in urgency. Normally, she'd pull off him and stroke him till he'd come, but tonight, she decided to try something different and started to try and work the rest of him into her mouth. Before she could get all the way down him, he pulled away, gripping the base of his cock tightly.
Pouting up at him, she waited for an explanation from him and once he got himself under control, he looked sheepish. "I want to save that for after your transformation, then I know I can't harm you."
"I suppose that makes sense, want me to finish you off then?" She reached for his cock, but he stopped her.
"I'd prefer if we did it together." He leaned down and kissed her, his tongue darting into her mouth.
He guided her up onto the bed, never breaking the kiss, their tongues continuing to dance together. His shirt vanished as well as his pants and boxer briefs leaving him bare as he laid her down on the bed, only then breaking the kiss.
She looked up at him in shock to see him bare. "How?"
He grinned. "Vampire."
Shaking her head, she playfully shoved him back, so he was sitting on his heels, allowing her to sit up and rid herself of her shirt and bra. Carlisle watched her with a hungry gaze, his cock bobbing between his legs. Laying back, she shimmied out of her shorts and underwear and the moment she was free from them, he dove between her legs, tongue darting out and lapping at her slit making her arch off the bed, her hands gripping the sheets. Carlisle worked her expertly quickly, bringing her to release within minutes, his hands easily holding her bucking hips still through it as she cried out.
His onslaught continued despite her release, his lips latching onto her clit and sucking on her sensitive bud. She cried out his name as she tried to pull away, but his hands kept her in place with nowhere to run.
"Carlisle…ah, oh god, fuck…AH…" She moaned loudly as she writhed helplessly.
He hummed as his tongue continued to tease her sensitive bud as two fingers slipped inside her, curling just right to hit that spot inside her that made her see stars. Her legs trembled as she arched off the bed, her body already on the verge of another release. With a cry, she came again, her release gushing out of her and soaking into the sheets below her. Panting, her body fell limp to the bed as Carlisle finally pulled away from her throbbing sex, his face glistening with her release.
"You're so beautiful." He told her, as he moved over her, his cool hand trailed over her burning stomach and up to her heaving chest.
She could feel herself blushing a deeper red than she already was as she pulled him down to kiss him, uncaring about tasting herself on his lips. "So are you."
Carlisle lowered himself over her, his cool skin felt wonderful against her burning flesh, her legs falling open and wrapping around his hips. They moaned together as he slid inside her. Carlisle sat back, gripping her hips firmly and started at a steady pace, thrusting deeply into her. Letting her head fall back, she held onto his forearms moaning as he continued to thrust into her, filling her just right. His pace soon quickened, his moans growing more insistent as he grew closer to his own release, while Bella tried to hold back her own release until he came. Carlisle, however, seemed to want her to come first as he tilted her hips and started striking against that spot inside her forcing her to come again, clamping around him tightly.
He buried himself in her as he groaned deeply as he came, his release filling her sending a shudder through her. She always loved the feeling of him filling her. Panting, she lay there with a little smile on her face, as Carlisle pulled out of her and lay next to her. It took her a moment to get her limbs to respond, but once they did, she curled into his side laying an arm over his chest.
"I love you, Carlisle."
"I love you, Bella"
The next day they spent lounging in the hammock outside, gently swaying in the breeze. Bella alternated between watching the waves lapping at the sandy beach, to napping, to reading her book, only leaving the hammock for bathroom breaks or to eat. Carlisle, of course, didn't complain as he held her, his cool fingers lightly trailing over her sun kissed skin. The doctor in him had come out and he'd insisted on sun block, which had saved her from getting burned.
In the following days, they hiked the island trails to a waterfall where they spent the day swimming and laughing as they splashed around in the water, they played games on the patio, laid out in the afternoon sun, and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was around the 5th day, that Carlisle suggested that they explore the mainland. Clouds had rolled in, blocking the sun she'd been enjoying so she agreed and changed into a tank top and shorts then joined Carlisle at the dock. He'd opted for a long-sleeved sun shirt, and jeans. She would have poked fun at him, if he didn't look good in the jeans, they fit him perfectly.
Hopping into the boat, they headed to the mainland and Carlisle let her take the lead, guiding them to whatever caught her eye. They ended up at a street festival with carts of food all over the place, merchants selling knickknacks and other things. Bella kept a firm grip on Carlisle's hand as they weaved their way through the crowd, occasionally stopping to admire the items for sale or grabbing something to eat as they continued. Music could be heard over the sound of the crowd as they made their way down the street, and they eventually found the source about halfway through. A group of people had gathered to listen and dance to the thumping music as they played, though Bella didn't understand a word of the music.
It was still nice, and she was able to appreciate the sound of it and soon her hips started to sway to the beat. Carlisle, who was behind her, chuckled, his hands going to her hips as he started to sway with her. Leaning back against him, she looped her arms around his neck as they danced. Grinning, she pressed her butt back against his groin, grinding against him for a moment then pulling away. His hands tightened at her hips, but he did nothing to stop her from doing it again and again. Each time, she could feel his arousal growing, though she did little more than tease him.
When she'd had her fill of teasing him, she took his hand and led him away from the crowd. The sun had started to set but Bella wasn't feeling tired yet. They walked the streets with the locals, many staring at Carlisle, though he didn't seem to notice. Instead, he seemed to be looking for something which intrigued her.
"What are you looking for?" She inquired after a while.
"I was looking for a club I thought was right around here but apparently has moved. I thought maybe you'd want to experience some of the night life here."
She chuckled, looking up at him. "Didn't take you for a clubber."
He made a face of distaste. "I'm not, but I was told I we should at least try it."
"Why don't we compromise?" He tilted his head, a curious look to his eyes. "Why don't we go somewhere you would like? It could be dancing, or whatever you like."
"Today was supposed to be your day to explore." He countered.
Grinning, she stepped in front of him poking him playfully in the chest. "And I have, and if we go somewhere you want, I'd still be exploring. So, where to mister?"
"So pushy, its like we're married or something." He took her hand and led her down a street so they could hail a cap and once inside the car gave the driver where he wanted to go.
About 10 minutes later, they pulled up to an outdoor amphitheater, a band playing up on stage as people danced all around. Carlisle paid the cab driver and led her through the crowd to an open area near the back with a smile.
"Time for a dance lesson." He said over the music as he took her hands.
The steps were a lot harder than previous dance lessons, and much faster. Bella stumbled quite a bit as she tried to keep up with Carlisle, who was extremely patient with her, and would encourage her to try again each time. After the three failure she wanted to give up but kept going because of the jovial little smile on Carlisle's face that he only got when he was truly letting himself relax and enjoy himself. With his persistence, she started to get the basics of the dance, then, of course, Carlisle had to throw in spins trying to be fancy. On the first turn, she tripped over her own feet and fell into his arms.
His laughter was just audible over the music as he righted her and they started again, this time doing the spin slower, so she didn't fall. She had to admit, she was having fun being there with him, so much so, she almost forgot there were other people around them. It felt like it was just the two of them, dancing in their own little world. For nearly an hour they danced until Bella's feet started to ache and they started back towards the dock.
On the boat ride back, Carlisle let her drive, which was a blast, as he guided her back to the island and helped her dock it. By then, she was officially worn out and played helpless hoping he'd carry her the rest of the way back to the house. Playing along, he did so, eventually setting her on the edge of the bed and fetching her night clothes for her. Once changed, she crawled into bed and was out the moment her head hit the pillow.
They spent another week on the island before heading to the airport to start their tour of Europe. Bella was excited for the trip, though she'd miss the peaceful beach and the private time with Carlisle, she was looking forward to seeing London, and Paris and all the other major cities they planned to hit over the summer break. Each stop had been a wedding gift from the family, Esme and Edward having gifted them the two weeks on Isle Esme, Alice and Jasper planned them two weeks in London, Rosalie and Emmett planned two weeks in Paris, the Volturi requested their appearance in Italy, so they'd be stopping there to receive their wedding gift from them and ending their tour in Greece.
The plane ride was long and boring, and she spent most of it as snuggled up to Carlisle as she could be. She did end up having a little fun with him during the plane ride. They were seated in first class and there weren't a lot of other passengers on the plane, so they were mostly alone, so while she was cuddled up to him, they were watching a movie she let her hand come to rest on his lap. She wasn't sure why, but since marrying him, she'd found teasing him to be a very enjoyable pastime and Carlisle seemed to enjoy it as well. At least, she hoped he did.
Starting slowly, she let her fingers wander over his clothed crotch till she found what she was looking for. He stiffened slightly as her fingers grazed over his cock, his eyes darting around to make sure no one was watching before landing on her with a questioning gaze. She gave him a smile and a squeeze watching as his lips pressed into a thin line as he held back whatever noise he wanted to make. Turning back to the movie, she idly played with him as he grew to full hardness. She could feel his unease at the situation, but also how turned on it made him, and her for that matter, so she continued.
From the corner of her eye, she could see him leaning against the arm rest, a hand covering his mouth as his hips twitched. "Want me to stop?" She whispered so only he'd hear.
He shook his head, his eyes closing as she gave him a firm squeeze. She could feel him pulsing against her hand harder and more frequently and wondered if he was close to coming already. Focusing her attention on the head of his cock she rubbed and squeezed him till he let out a strangled whine, his hips jerking as he came. She continued to stroke him through his orgasm as he curled forward slightly, his thighs starting to tremble and when he couldn't take anymore, he gently pushed her hand away.
A moment later, the flight attendant walked by to check on them and Bella smiled telling them they were fine, Carlisle managing one of his typical smiles despite his post orgasmic state, and they moved on. Carlisle let out a slow breath adjusting himself, so he was comfortable. Thankfully he was wearing dark wash jeans, so it wasn't obvious what they'd been doing.
"What brought that on?"
She shrugged with a mischievous smile. "Seemed like a fun idea, you seemed to enjoy it."
He chuckled. "I did, more than I thought I would. Though I'll need to clean up now."
Grinning, she unbuckled and got up so he could head to the bathroom to clean himself up. The rest of the flight she behaved herself, holding his hand as they finished their movie. She eventually managed to fall asleep for a few hours of the flight but was still very tired when they finally landed in London. They caught a ride to the hotel where Carlisle ushered her to the comfy looking bed and let her nap for a bit before they went out to explore the city.
The entirety of their stay in London was overcast, which Bella was grateful for, so Carlisle was able to join her for the couple of tours she'd picked out for them. It also meant he was able to take her on his own guided tours from his previous times he'd been there and told her about the history of the city as they went. She found it all fascinating and honestly preferred his tours to that of the group tours, then again, she was a bit bias. Carlisle took her everywhere her heart desired, never complaining once about the crowds or anything really, even when she noticed his eyes turning black from lack of feeding.
When she asked him about it, he brushed it off stating he hadn't wanted to leave her alone in a strange country but would find the time to sneak off to the country to feed at some point and not to worry. She gave him a flat stare, it was her, she was going to worry about him. Chuckling, he promised to go that night to hunt which eased her worry a little.
After dinner, they headed back to the room and Carlisle changed into running clothes. "I'll be gone most the night; promise you'll stay inside? You have a bad habit of attracting danger, and I won't be nearby to help if something goes wrong."
She scoffed from her spot on the bed. "I don't try to; danger just finds me."
"Bella." His voice was flat and no nonsense.
"I'll stay put; I promise." She assured him.
He nodded. "Thank you. Be back as soon as I can." He came over and kissed her.
"No, take your time. I don't need you starving yourself on this trip." Bella yelled at his retreating back.
Bella settled in for the night as he shut the door. For most the night she stayed up watching random British shows, hoping to greet Carlisle when he got back but at some point, the bed got too comfortable, and she found herself drifting off to sleep. Some time later she felt herself being repositioned on the bed and woke to find Carlisle smiling down at her as he tucked her in.
"Welcome back." She mumbled sleepily.
He kissed her forehead. "Sleep, love. It's late."
Without argument, she let her eyes close and went back to sleep easily. When Friday came, they checked out of their hotel room and headed to the railway station and took a two-hour train ride from London to Paris. Paris ended up being a bit tricky for Carlisle as it was a mostly sunny day when they arrived, but thankfully they were able to stick to the shadows and get to the hotel without incident. Unlike with London, the weather in Paris reminded her of Isle Esme, warm and sunny most of the time they were there, which sadly left poor Carlisle confined to the room during the day.
Feeling guilty he couldn't go out, Bella offered to stay in with him, but Carlisle insisted she go out and see what she could without him and to just be careful. The first day she did just that and found it rather boring without him there giving her fun facts about the area, so, instead of repeating it the next day, she went to the pool. When the sun went down, she dragged him out into the streets and they explored together, the way she wanted to.
Paris at night was much more beautiful anyway.
It was here in Paris that she got to experience her first night club. As they were wondering the streets, Carlisle paused outside the building, the music so loud even she could hear it thrumming from inside.
"Something wrong?" She asked, looking up at the sign, though why she bothered she wasn't sure, it was in French which she couldn't read.
"I think this is the club Rosalie and Emmett wanted me to take you too. Apparently, they are highly rated for their drinks. Any interest?"
Sighing, she looked the club over. She had promised to experience as much as she could on this trip, as it would likely be the only time she'd have a chance as a human. The problem being nightclubs really weren't her thing. Then again, she was legal drinking age here, so maybe if she had a few drinks, it wouldn't be so bad.
"Well, I promised I'd try out new things, so I guess we can go in. What about you, won't it be to loud?"
His lips quirked up. "I'll be fine, likely be a bit of a sensory overload for a bit, but I'll adapt."
Nodding, they headed to the door where the bouncer checked their IDs and let them in. Inside the music was even louder causing her insides to vibrate as the bass pounded away. There were neon lights everywhere, and strobe lights flashing to the music but other than that it was fairly dark in the club. The center of the room was mostly people dancing, the left wall was a bar lit up with different colored lights and tables placed around the edges of the club.
Carlisle led her over to the bar where he helped her order some sort of fruity drink that wasn't too bad, and she drank it a little faster than she meant to. He got her a second with a quick warning to drink it a little slower this time. Nursing this one, they made their way over to a table where they watched the mass of people dancing. She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or her channeling Rosalie's will, but it looked like fun. Finishing off her second drink, she took Carlisle's hand and led him over to the outskirts of the dance floor and started to sway to the music.
She was stiff, almost as stiff as he was, but as the alcohol started to take effect, her body started to loosen up, and her hips started to sway more to the beat as her hands started to massage Carlisle's shoulders. Her head had a pleasant buzzing going on in it as her hands moved from his shoulders down to his chest continuing to rub his muscles through his shirt, his own hands now on her hips as he tried to match her movements. Biting her lower lip, she unbuttoned the top couple of buttons of his shirt and shoved her hands into his shirt with a little giggle.
He raised an eyebrow at her, which got another giggle out of her as she reached up and ran her fingers through his hair causing it to droop down his forehead just above his eyes. Damn he was hot. Turning in his arms, she leaned up against him and grinded against him, looping her arms around his neck. His hand stayed on her hips, which irked her, so she reached down and guided them over her body. It might be the alcohol, but she swore she heard the man purr as she continued to grind against him as his hands wandered over her.
A small part of her brain remembered they were in public, and she should care that people might see, but there was Carlisle's body pressed against her, his hands on her body and she just couldn't care. It felt good being there in his arms, his hands on her, his attention focused on her. Then she felt his hand slip down the front of her pants as his other hand cupped one of her breasts. Her eyes, which she hadn't realized she'd closed, opened slowly to find they'd shifted further into the shadows of the club. She should have figured Carlisle would have moved them.
Her attention quickly snapped back to Carlisle's hands as the one currently in her pants cupped her sex for a moment before his finger dipped between her folds, running along her slit. His teeth nipped at her ear as he growled low in his throat at the discovery that she was already wet for him, his lust almost palpable. His finger slid inside her pumping into her to the beat of the music surrounding them, her eyes closing as she leaned her head back, her hips gyrating against him.
A second finger soon joined the first, her mouth falling open as she moaned softly, her knees trembling. It didn't take long before she was bucking against his hand as she built towards her release, Carlisle whispering in her ear encouragement in a deep sultry voice. When she came, her legs clamped shut around his hand as her body spasmed. Carlisle held her up through her release, kissing her neck and shoulder as she slowly came down.
Glancing up at him, she smiled. "That was fun, can I have another drink?"
He laughed. "No, you're already drunk."
With a sigh, she slumped back in his arms and with a light chuckle, he scooped her up. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders, her head coming to rest in the crook of his neck as he carried her from the bar. Her head was still buzzing as he carried her back to the hotel, though she lost track of time on the journey back and soon was sitting on the edge of the bed. Blinking, she looked around.
"When did we get back?"
"A couple moments ago. Those drinks were stronger than I anticipated and you're a bit drunk, my dear. Let's get you to bed and sleep it off." Carlisle told her gently.
She looked at him with confusion then shrugged and fell back on the bed. "Ok."
Carlisle tried to coax her into her night clothes, but she apparently was stubborn when drunk and refused to change and instead climbed under the covers and went to sleep. Come morning, she felt like crap. She was very grateful for Carlisle, who put on his doctor façade for her and aided in her recovery. By noon she was feeling better thanks to him, and they ended up spending the day just relaxing in the room.
Their time in Paris quickly came to an end and Bella found herself on a train to Turin, Italy where they'd rent a car to get to the Volturi city, visit for a bit and head to Rome for a night then down to Brindisi to take a ferry over to Greece. Bella was feeling anxious about the visit with the Volturi though she wasn't sure why, she'd done nothing wrong, and they simply wanted to bestow a wedding gift on them and their condolences for missing the wedding as they'd had other business they had to attend to. Though she'd been a little relieved when they'd RSVPed no to the wedding.
As they watched the landscape go by, she wondered what everyone was doing back home. As much fun as she was having, it was getting a bit exhausting traveling this much and a small part of her was missing their cottage and the time they could be spending there. Lacing her fingers with Carlisle's she gave a soft sigh. Just a few more weeks and they'd be home, until then, she'd try to just enjoy herself.
They reached Turin around 1 in the afternoon and were on the road about a half hour later with Carlisle behind the wheel. After a while, she started to recognize the buildings as they drew closer to the Volturi's home and started to shift around in her seat.
Carlisle's hand came to rest on her knee. "It will be fine, we'll accept their gift, chat a bit and excuse ourselves. We'll be here for a few hours' tops."
Nodding, she turned her attention out the window. They pulled up to the entrance to the Volturi's home and Carlisle parked the car. Felix appeared out of nowhere and opened her door for her and held out his hand.
"My lady."
Taking it, she climbed out and smiled to him. "Thank you."
Felix returned her smile. "So good to see you again, dear Bella, I trust your having a pleasant honeymoon?"
"Yes, it's been a lot of fun so far."
He tucked her hand into the crook of his arm as they headed inside, Carlisle coming up along side of her. "That's wonderful to hear. You'll have to tell me of your travels if you have time. I'd like to hear what you've been up to since I've last seen you."
She nervously tucked her hair back glancing at Carlisle. "We won't be staying long; we have a long drive ahead of us."
"A pity, well there will be time later then."
Felix led them to the familiar antechamber and like before, had them wait while he slipped into the main room. Carlisle took her hand, giving it a squeeze. She gave him a smile to show she was ok, or as ok as she could be in a nest of human eating vampires. The wait wasn't as long as normal, and soon they were ushered into the main room. Aro, Marcus and Caius were off to the right of their normal seats at a table of old looking books. Upon their arrival, Aro closed his book and stood with a smile on his face.
"Ah, young Bella and my dear friend Carlisle. Such a pleasure to see you again."
She was surprised to see he wasn't wearing his cloak like last time as he came over and took Carlisle's hand.
"You two have had quite the adventure of late." Aro mused as he rifled through Carlisle's memories.
Bella shifted a bit uncomfortably. It was one thing having the family know about the things that happened, it was another to have a near stranger know them too. "It's been interesting, to say the least."
"Indeed." Aro smiled at her releasing Carlisle's hand.
Carlisle cleared his throat. "Apologies, my friend, but we are on a time crunch, we have a long drive ahead of us and a hotel to get to."
"Yes, of course." Aro snapped his fingers and one of the human servants rushed over with a wooden box that had two doors that opened on the top. "For our dear Bella, something to help you shine brightly."
Reaching out she opened the doors to find a diamond necklace inside that had to be worth thousands of dollars sitting inside. The necklace was beautiful and took her breath away for a moment as she stared at it. Her mouth moved wordlessly until she finally managed to snap herself out of her stupor. "It's beautiful, but isn't it too much?"
Aro's head tilted slightly. "Is it not to your liking?"
"No, it is, I'm just…" She trailed off.
Carlisle jumped in to help her. "She's not used to expensive gifts, even if she thinks they are beautiful."
"Ah." Aro nodded as he held an envelope out to Carlisle. "Well, I think it will look quite fitting on you at the galla next year. We're inviting the Cullen family to join us, and I do so hope you'll attend."
Carlisle took the invitation with a nod. "We are honored and will do our best to attend. Thank you, my friend."
"Excellent." Aro snapped his fingers again and the box with the necklace was snapped closed and handed to Carlisle. "I do not wish to keep you from your plans to long, would you have time for a meal?"
Bella's stomach answered for them and growled loudly making Aro laugh his strange laugh as she covered her stomach. Carlisle chuckled and nodded. "We could spare an hour."
"Come then."
Aro led them out of the main room and down a hallway to what she could only describe as a dinning hall that would normally feed a hundred people. The table was massive with high backed chairs surrounding it, tapestries decorated the walls between columns, and a chandelier hung over the table. Bella followed Carlisle and Aro to one end of the table where they sat with Aro at the head, and her and Carlisle to one side.
Within minutes of sitting down, several human servants entered carrying a covered plate of food for her, which was set down in front of her with silverware and a glass of what she assumed was wine. In front of Carlisle, was placed a large, caged cat, a lynx if she had to guess, and a goblet was set in front of Aro.
Bella watched the caged animal hissing and swiping at Carlisle trying desperately to escape. She kind of felt bad for the animal. Carlisle smiled over at Aro. "You remembered my favorite meal."
Aro nodded. "Of course, we procured it just for you in hopes you would have time to enjoy it."
Carlisle reached for the latch and paused noticing her watching. "Are you sure you want to watch this?"
Glancing at her covered food then back at him she was sure it was probably a mistake, but she was curious, so she nodded. He unlatched the cage and opened the door enough to snake his arm in lightning fast and grab the cat by the neck and snapped it with a sickening crunch. Carlisle pulled the now dead cat out of the cage and sank his teeth into the animal's neck and started to feed. It was at this point she decided it was best to mind her own food and let him eat his in peace.
Uncovering her meal, she dug in, slightly surprised that she wasn't put off by the display she'd witnessed. When he finished, the servants were quick to take away the cage and body of the cat. Carlisle and Aro chatted while she finished her meal and again the servants cleared the table as soon as she set down her fork. They chatted a little longer before Carlisle stood and announced they should be heading out.
Gathering their gifts, Carlisle took her hand and the three of them walked back to the main entrance where Aro bid them farewell. Carlisle tucked their gifts into their bags, and they climbed into the car and were off.
"See, that wasn't so bad." He teased her about 20 minutes later.
She shook her head, smiling at him. "No, I suppose it wasn't. And he made sure you ate something which I'm happy about, Mr. I'll be fine." She poked him in the ribs.
"It's hard to hunt in major cities, and I don't like feeding on stray cats and dogs." He shuddered at the thought.
"Do they taste bad or something?"
"Strays tend to have fleas, or ticks or diseases that can make them taste bad, plus domesticated animals just don't taste as good normally. Wild animals are better, though I might be bias as that's what I learned on." He explained.
"Huh, I wonder why that is." She wondered out loud.
He shrugged, smiling over at her. "No idea, might be the hormones, might be what they eat, could be a number of things."
Nodding, she decided to switch gears. "So, what's this galla thing we're supposed to go to?"
"It's a big party they throw every year; they invite a lot of wealthy people and use it as a way to fund the Volturi and maintain their status as a powerhouse among the wealthy." Carlisle explained. "It's meant to be an extreme honor to be invited to it."
She pouted slightly. "Guess that means it would be rude to not attend?"
"Extremely." Carlisle reached over and patted her thigh. "Sadly, it means we're going. It will be during the summer break, so you won't miss any school."
"Do the people coming know that the Volturi are vampires?"
"No, they just think they are a wealthy family that's from a small province."
Nodding, they fell into a comfortable silence. It was a 7-hour drive to Rome and by the time they got there, the sun had set, and the roads had started to clear. They checked into their hotel and though Bella was tired, they only had one night in Rome, so they went out to do a quick tour of the city before she crashed for the night. In the morning, she was so tired she had Carlisle carry her to the car and slept for the first half of the drive to Brindisi. The second half she spent watching the scenery holding Carlisle's hand.
When they reached Brindisi, they boarded the ferry and walked around, glad to be out of the car for a while. Even Carlisle had started to get antsy from driving for so long. They only had one more leg of the journey to go and they'd be driving through the night to get there, having gotten the last ferry to Greece. Carlisle said he didn't mind, his eyes obviously having no trouble in the dark, and she could just sleep in the car while he drove. Or that was the plan, but over the last few weeks her schedule had been getting screwed up and she'd been staying up later and later to be with Carlisle, so she found her self unable to fall asleep and getting cranky.
Carlisle offered to get them a room so she could sleep in a bed, but she declined wanting to just get to their destination already and instead opted to getting some energy drinks when they stopped at a gas station to refuel. After nearly 13 hours of driving later, they finally arrived at their destination. Bella, glanced in a mirror and was horrified. She had bags under her eyes, her hair was a mess, and her skin looked oily. She really needed a day to recoup from this.
They got checked in and Bella took a shower to clean up before climbing into bed, despite it being nearly 9 am, and passed out. After a day of much needed rest, waking only when Carlisle insisted on her eating something, she was feeling much better. Like in Paris, the weather here was nice and sunny. Unlike Paris she had access to a beach so she would sleep in, then spend her afternoons at the beach, then when the sun went down, they'd hit the town or go swimming.
One night as they were swimming, something stung her making her yelp. Carlisle came over and pulled her away from whatever it was and led her to the beach. It had gotten her on the outer thigh and burned as they moved to the retaining wall at the edge of the beach and their hotel where Carlisle sat and examined the sting.
"What was it?" She asked as he gently cleaned it off.
"A jellyfish. It's a small sting so you should be fine, might just burn for a bit. Do you feel any swelling, or pain anywhere else?" Carlisle asked in his doctor voice.
She was a little embarrassed to admit it, but his doctor voice was turning her on as she shook her head. "No, just my thigh."
He smiled up at her, before kissing above the sting, his fingers on her inner thigh were not helping to calm her down. "Then you'll be just fine, we'll get you upstairs and into a bath to soak it, that will help with the burning."
She shifted, causing her legs to separate and Carlisle breathed in right at that moment, his eyes dilating as they met hers, a knowing look in his eyes as a grin spread across his face. Turning away, she crossed her arms over her chest. "It's your fault, your doctor voice is sexy, I can't help it."
He chuckled, his fingers tailed up her inner thigh to the edge of the two-piece swimsuit she was wearing. "Is there somewhere else you'd like me to inspect?"
She whined slightly, looking around to make sure they were alone. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
Carlisle looked up at her with a wolfish grin. "This from the woman that jerked me off on a plane and was dry humping me in a night club till I finger fucked her. I think this is par for the course for our exhibition phase we seem to be in."
Bella blushed deeply. "Sorry, not sure what's gotten into me lately, but I just can't seem to stop."
Gently he pulled the fabric of her bottoms to the side revealing her slit to him. "I'm not asking you to."
Before she could respond, he leaned in and licked at her slit. Gasping, her hands dropped to his shoulders and head for support. His tongue swirled around her clit making her eyes roll and her knees go weak as she moaned his name. She felt him growl as her hips started to rock against him his lip latching onto her clit and sucking on it hard. Her hands gripped his hair as she rutted against his face his mouth driving her wild as her release quickly built, her moans echoing along the empty beach. As she neared her release, she tried to warn him, but she couldn't get the words out in time and ended up just letting out a little squeal as she came.
His hands had a firm hold of her thighs, keeping her upright as her body spasmed through her release. He gently licked her clean as her twitching slowly subsided, her hands stroking his hair that she had messed up in her desperation for something to hold onto. When he pulled away, she couldn't help but smile at the cute satisfied little look on his face.
Figuring they were already down the rabbit hole anyway; she lowered herself down onto his lap and reached down to fish out his cock. They worked together to quickly release his cock from his trunks, then he easily lifted her and slid her down his length. With a content sigh, her legs wrapped around his waist feeling him sink impossibly deeper than before. Looping her arms around his neck she held on as he started to thrust up into her.
"Ah, Carlisle, oh, I love you, so much, AH yes." She moaned out.
His hands gripped her hips tightly, his thrusts getting harder. "Ah, I love you too, Bella, my Bella. God, you feel, so amazing."
Their combined moans filled the night air as he continued to thrust into her, her head lulling back her eyes closed as she enjoyed the feel of his cock thrusting into her over and over. It never got old, and she hoped she never got tired of having sex with him. As her release built, she used her legs to ride him harder, her moans becoming higher pitched as she got closer and closer to her peak. A few thrusts later, they came together, Carlisle's forehead coming to rest on her shoulder as he ground up into her as his cock pulsed inside her. She held him close, panting heavily as her body trembled through her own release until she finally went limp in his arms.
After a few minutes, Carlisle sat up and kissed her slowly. "I love you."
Smiling, she kissed him again. "I love you too."
They took a few minutes before they separated and righted their clothing before heading back to their room so she could soak in a bath. The rest of their trip went smoothly and was very enjoyable. At the end of the trip, they headed to the airport and caught their plane back home. She was excited to be going home as she missed everyone, and their home, and apartment. When they finally landed in Seattle, Edward and Esme were there to pick them up and drive them back to the main house where everyone was waiting.
They gave a PG retelling of the trip which Emmett was disappointed in and kept trying to get more juicy details out of them, but Bella refused to tell him. The girls eventually pulled her aside and asked if she had fun, clearly implying what Emmett had been blatantly asking about and she gave them some details of what went down. They found it entertaining and surprising that Carlisle would have allowed them to do anything publicly, but most of all, they were proud that she got to experience traveling as a human and had some fun. Hugging them, she smiled happy that she had such wonderful people in her life that cared that much about her.
For a couple of weeks Bella and Carlisle stayed at the main house before they headed back to the apartment to get ready for the next year of college. She hoped this one would go smoother than last year.
