Elemental Goddess

Chapter 62: The Tell of a Love Bite
BPOV:
I was laying between my mates waiting for Edward to return from the bathroom. I heard the sink faucet shut off, then he returned to the bed. He slowly and carefully wiped me down, cleaning the stickiness from me. When he was done, he dropped the cloth to the floor before asking, "Alright, Sweetheart. How do you feel? Any pain or discomfort?"
I smiled widely as I shook my head, "Nope, none. What's the verdict?"
He laughed, "Well. You'll have to have Major start over the training on holding back your orgasms. Your g-spot is much more prominent. I suspect it felt to you like every slight brush was a severe rub. From my estimate, it's at least ten times more sensitive to touch. Is that about right, Carlisle?"
He nodded, but said, "At the very least. She will not be able to hold out for long at all, so Major needs to understand that. An unintentional brush that barely touches it could set her off. It will be quite a lot easier to stimulate during intercourse, as well… even in the missionary position."
Edward nodded, but Peter and Jasper both looked at them wide-eyed. "Other than that," he continued, "She is perfect. Her body adjusted well, and nothing else internally has shifted. Nor was anything harmed in any way. Her cervix is still strong from the venom. I didn't feel any weak spots around the edges or the point where it closed. All the measurements lined right up with Carlisle's, with the exception of her g-spot. That -as we said- is more prominent, and will make her much more sensitive to gushing... as well as cumming in general. Her hips, tailbone, and pelvic bone shifted into the ideal position well."
He took a deep breath, then looked at me seriously before he continued, "Bella? I had spoken to Carlisle after we were together, about your hips not seeming to be in the right position... them not being as pliable as they should be for someone in their second trimester. I didn't want to worry you for nothing. When I got back here with Alice, Carlisle confirmed that he felt the same way. I was happy that you wanted me to work more on that area for your massage. You are built very small, Sweetheart. Even with the widening of your hips from the goddess transformation, your pregnancy will be difficult on that whole area... even more so since you're carrying twins. Your hips and bones in your pelvis need to be able to shift and widen easily, to accommodate the babies as well as the extra weight they'll be pressing on you. I think it would be a good idea for me to keep track of this. I would like to work as something similar to a doula for you during your pregnancy and labor. You need nightly massages, and at least once a week, we'll need to work a deep massage specifically on the area we did tonight. If we keep up with it, we shouldn't have to go through the process of shifting and settling that we did tonight.”
I knew there was more, so I nodded for him to continue. “Carlisle and I are both of the feeling that this will be a continuing problem for you with your small build and bone structure. If we don't keep ahead of this, you may not be able to carry the twins to term, or your pelvic bones may break from the constant stress the babies are putting on them. Alice has already ordered the massage table, but I think we should get you a birthing ball and some other things, to help with widening your hips, as well as making both you and the babies more comfortable throughout the pregnancy. How do you feel about that?"
Wow. My body was agreeing with everything Edward said, so I whispered, "I think we need to do it. My body agreed with everything you said, plus I really want to try to give birth naturally. I'd rather not go through a C-Section if we don't have to. Even with being a vampire goddess, a C-Section will take longer for me to recover from, which leaves us vulnerable."
I looked at my mates, who all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Jasper kissed me softly, "We agree, Darlin'. Being pregnant with a broken pelvis is not a good thing. We think Edward should take over all your massages and be your doula."
I nodded as I smiled softly at them. Looking back to Edward, I said, "Let's do it. We have nightly massages and weekly concentration on my hips, tailbone, and public bone. A birthing ball. What else?"
He smiled, "Daily Yoga. I don't want you doing vampire level while you're pregnant, but advanced is fine, as long as you can get into positions on your own without discomfort. We'll have to adapt some of the positions, maybe add some new ones in. Any position you can do to open or widen your pelvic area is good. Char? Do you have ideas on some to put her through?"
Char briefly thought for a second, then smiled, "Yeah. Bound Eagle, Extended Triangle, Revolved Triangle, One-Legged King Pigeon, Warrior II, Bound Extended Side Angle, Bird of Paradise, Monkey, Flying Crow, Lizard, Cow Face, Sleeping Vishnu, Downward Facing Dog, Garland, Standing Straddle/Forward Bend, Child's Pose, Goddess, and of course her standard, Lotus. Lotus is the ultimate hip opener. She uses a couple of those in her routine already, but all of the ones I just mentioned are good for the hip and groin area. Some of them we'll have to tweak slightly as her tummy expands, but only one or two will have to be dropped altogether. Some of them are good for strengthening her back or relieving back pain, as well as opening the hips and groin. That should help later, as the weight gain and position of the babies changes her posture."
Edward nodded, "If you wouldn't mind, please work with her on finding a routine that will best suit those needs. If you can alternate routines, that would be good too. No more vampire workouts, though."
Alice spoke up, "Baby? Emmett has a birthing ball. Don't you remember? It's the beach ball. He bought several as beach balls, because of how thick they were and the weight capacity. We can get one from him, then start Bella on the ball sooner."
Carlisle laughed, "I think we all tried to put that out of our minds, Alice, but yes. It would be beneficial for her to start sooner."
I spoke softly as I thought about what needed to be done, "We can get ourselves put together and air the room out a little, then call them over if you want. I'd like to see them. I feel like they’re being so patient, and I'm just neglecting them. Is that okay?"
They all nodded, then Carlisle ordered, "You need to stay as you are, but you can cover with the sheet. You are still on lockdown, Bella. You shouldn't have the constriction of clothing right now... especially after the work Edward had to do on your hips. Just because you got to cum doesn't mean the restriction is lifted. We can't take chances now, with being so close to your turning."
I nodded, "I know, Carlisle. I promise to listen to what you and Edward say. I don't want anything to jeopardize this pregnancy. Umm..."
I looked to my mates, then brought their ears all into breathing distance of my mouth. "With all the work Edward will be doing, would it be a good idea to have them take the spare room here in the cabin? None of the wolves use it, Jake sleeps in here with us, plus we still have a shit-ton of people on their way here."
They all looked at me with a wide smile, nodding their response. I looked back at Edward. "You being my doula is going to be a 24/7 thing, right?"
He smiled softly, "Yes, a doula is usually available to the pregnant mother 24/7."
I smiled, "Will you and Alice take the spare room here? It would save time, rather than running back and forth from the main house. Plus, before Halloween, we will be up to nine total shifter packs. I found that out during the first part of Char's massage. That would open a room at the main house. Your room there is big enough that bunks could be put in for several shifters, or house a mated vampire couple. The closet isn't huge in the spare room, but you can put some of your things in ours too. Will you move in here with us?"
They looked at each other, both got cheshire cat grins, then exclaimed together, "Of course! We'd love to."
Esme and Carlisle were grinning in the background, so I knew they didn't mind.
"Okay. Let's get this room opened up, so I can see Emmett and Rose before dawn. I need to meditate from dawn till noon with Major. So much is rattling around up here, but only the Goddess Elemental can reach it. She'll need her Major with her. Rose and Emmett can stay while I meditate. Can you fill Edward and Alice in on the stuff we learned earlier, Carlisle? I'll need to send Alice the visions of the jewels, so she can sketch a visual of what everyone's looking for."
He nodded as I relaxed into my mates, closing my eyes and breathing them in. I heard Carlisle and Edward getting dressed, then Jasper opened all the doors and windows to the cabin. He and Peter pulled jeans on as Char slipped a sundress on. Carlisle filled Edward and Alice in on everything we learned during my massage. They were both floored with all the information. Hell, I was still floored by it.
Something came back to me. I growled out dangerously as my eyes changed to vividly flaring starburst, "We need a way to effectively express my milk without diminishing my supply over time. Twice a day until Halloween. I'm serious about the party. I'll fucking cancel it myself if I have to. None of you will change my mind. I'll use my powers on anyone that so much as looks at Emily wrong that night. Those six that snapped... they effectively fucked all of us and killed my children. We have to get through this as one. I want a meeting set up as soon as all nine packs -as well as all the vampires known to be coming- are here. I don't care what I have to do to make everyone understand. The babies aren't going to be safe from miscarriage until after this battle. If we lose this battle with Victoria for any minute reason at all, I miscarry, then it's all over. The plagues, the Volturi openly rounding up gifteds, Maria wreaking havoc on the whole of the U.S... all of that happens, yet my children don't live to see their destinies fulfilled. No supernatural creature or human will be safe in that world. We can't let that come to be. I won't let it. I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me myself, but I won't let it be a swift death."
My eyes flashed dangerously as Major sat in front of me. I knew it was him because I felt the personality shift in him. I looked in his eyes, saying, "Hey, Major. Nice of you to join my death rant. You want to add anything, or are we good?"
He fucking smirked at me, "As a matter of fact, I do, Isabella. First off, I fully agree with ya. Everyone that comes here gets told that we hafta work as one, that none of the rez occupants are to be harmed. No matter what, the vampires shoulda fed before a party knowin' there’d be humans there.”
His eyes flashed with emotion as he continued, “Every vampire will be thirst checked by both of us before the party. Our group ‘ll make it clear just what we can do, as well as what'll happen if they don't fuckin' stay in line. Trainin' and practices are gonna get a fuck-ton harder... no more goin' easy. No matter what we hafta do, we'll win this battle... make our children safe... make the world safe. I swear it, Isabella. Second... Fuck, you're so sexy when you're like this. Hearin' ya growl like that sent tingles up my spine. I was hard as stone instantly."
He smirked as he brought my face to his, flicking his tongue against my bottom lip.
Christ, he knows I love it when he does that. I nipped his bottom lip, sucked on it for a second before deepening the kiss.
I heard two people in the room clear their throats, which caused me to growl instinctively. Major moaned, then I heard, "Sweetheart? You're still on a no-sex restriction. I have a big feeling sex with Major right now would not be gentle. It would be light-the-world-on-fire heat, which is definitely not allowed right now. I'm sorry, but you can't. This is about the babies, Sweetheart. Think about them, and you'll know I'm right."
I growled menacingly as I looked at Edward, then closed my eyes while breathing deeply to calm my emotions. I looked to Edward again, then said, "Fuck. I know you're right, but don't expect me to be happy about it."
He watched as my eyes changed back to green, smiling, "I know, Sweetheart, but it's for the best right now. You can have light-the-world-on-fire sex with Major as soon as your physical is done after your turning, once everything is deemed safe. I promise."
I nodded, then looked at Major, "Hold that thought, Major. I expect you to hold up to what Edward said as soon as we can."
He nipped my neck with a growl, "Shit. Alright. I have to go sit over there for a few minutes if I'm gonna keep my hands off ya."
He kissed my neck, then went to sit in the empty chair. He placed his elbows on his knees, gripping his hair tightly as he breathed deeply. I could tell he was trying to calm enough to switch personas again, but it wasn't working. I could see the grip on his hair tightening and releasing methodically. I got an idea... "Jazz?"
His eyes immediately snapped to mine, "Yes, Darlin'? Do you need something?"
I smiled widely. "Nope, just thought I'd give you a hand changing back."
He looked at me questioningly. "Oh, yeah. I forgot I didn't tell you yet. I can feel the change when you switch between Jasper and Major. Inside me, I can feel it. It's part of having both Major and Jasper's soul pieces in me. I could tell you were just having trouble trying to switch personas again, so I thought I’d try to help. I'm glad it worked."
He smiled widely. "Darlin', you are truly amazing. No one has ever been able to pull me out of Major mode. Peter and Char might be able to get me calmed, but they could never make me change back. When you called me Jazz, it was instinct and happened immediately."
I smiled, "I love you, Cowboy. So much."
He smiled as he came over to kiss my temple, "I know, Darlin'. I love you, too."
I looked up to him as I said, "Is it safe to call Emmett and Rose now? If so, have them bring the ball, plus a fresh sketchpad and colored pencils or chalks for Alice. I need to get the visions to her."
He looked to Peter, then they both stood in the middle of the room. They took several deep breaths, looked at each other, then nodded, "We're clear. I'll leave the windows open a while longer, but they shouldn't smell anything more than the four of us. I understand why we shouldn't, but it would just be easier if we could tell people. Charlie wouldn't accept it... I understand that... but it would just save from having to keep it from our family."
I nodded sadly. "I know, Cowboy, but it's safer this way. For everyone involved. If people knew and it got around, Victoria could try to use the knowledge to her advantage. The last thing we need, is for anyone to try to use that knowledge against us... putting Alice, Edward, Esme, or Carlisle in danger because of their special connection to us. It has to be this way for right now. You all understand, right? I can't have any of you getting hurt because you happen to have an intimate connection with me. I just can't risk it."
All four of them came to the bed, surrounding me in a hug. Esme said, "We understand, Dear. If you ever feel it's safe to let them know, you just tell us. We'll go from there."
Alice nodded, "We don't mind Sweetie, and we know you feel it's safer. We'll all take our cues from you on how this'll work. You'll let us know if and when things can change."
I kissed each one of their cheeks, "Thank you for understanding. I don't like it either. Hopefully it'll feel safer soon. Let's just get through this battle first, then we can reevaluate once we're in Texas."
They all nodded and broke off the hug. "Alright, Jazz. Call Rose and Emmett, please."
He flipped open his phone to make the call. They were at the door a few minutes later, Emmett carrying a huge ball, while Rose carried Alice's sketch pad, chalks, and pencils. They both rushed me, hugged me tight by crawling over and leaning on my mates to get to me. I giggled, "No squishing the mates, guys... and I love you, too."
Emmett kissed my forehead as Rose kissed my nose and cheeks, checking me over like she was looking for injuries. I took hold of her face in my palms, "Rose, look at me, Sweetie. No need for the mental inventory. I'm fine. I promise. Feel, both of you."
I placed their hands on my tummy, "Okay, boys. This is your Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett. Say hello. Play with Rose and Emmett for a second, My Angels."
My tummy fluttered wildly, making both Emmett and Rose gasp. Rose looked at me wide-eyed as her grin slowly spread across her face. Emmett whispered, "Wow, Little Bit. That's so cool. Do they do that all the time?"
I nodded. "They move without me talking, too, but everytime I want them to move, I send them a feeling of their limbs moving. That's the result. Carlisle flipped too, so you're not alone."
They both smiled widely, then I said, "Guys, I'm glad you came. I've missed you. I'm sorry I haven't spent much time with either of you lately. I..."
Rose cut me off, cooing, "Oh Bella, don't worry one bit about it. Everything's moving so fast it makes even our vampire minds spin like crazy. I'm just glad we get to spend even a little time with you. We've missed you, too."
Emmett nodded his agreement, so I smiled. "I have updates on the babies and me. Edward is going to be my doula because we're worried about my hips, tailbone, and pelvic bones not shifting or being pliable enough for the growth of the babies. He had to do a special massage tonight, to make my bones and tendons catch up to where they should be, for me being in my second trimester. When we had to do the rush through of the first trimester, those bones and tendons didn't shift or settle to where they should have, which put a lot of pressure and stress on them.”
They were looking at me worriedly, but I continued to explain. “Carlisle and Edward are worried that it will continue throughout my pregnancy, because I'm so small in structure. I need a doula to help combat that. Edward is professionally trained in massage, and he worked miracles on my hips and tailbone tonight, so we asked him to be my doula. That's going to be a 24/7 position, so Edward and Alice are going to move into the spare room here. That way he can help whenever I have problems or need him. We'll need their room at the house to use as a bunk room for another shifter tribe, if we can't find bunkhouses to build. By the time of the battle, we'll be up to nine shifter tribes, not including my pack. The vision I had didn't tell me what they were in animal form... just how many tribes there would be. Speaking of which, Esme?"
She was there next to me instantly, "Yes, Dear?"
I smiled softly as I asked, "Did you happen to order the cabin yet?"
She shook her head, "No, Dear. Jasper just told me I could use your laptop to do it a second ago."
I nodded, "With nine confirmed tribes, would it be a problem to order and set up another few? Do we have the room?"
She smiled and Carlisle said, "We can definitely set up more than a few, if need be. It's really no trouble, and if any of the cabins suit you, we can dismantle them to have them shipped to Texas for use there. That would save on how many needed to be ordered for there. Speaking of, you should look at the ones I thought would suit your needs for Texas. Let me call to have Tanya send the links via email to your laptop."
I nodded, "Thank you, that would help tremendously. Alice we need to get going on the jewelry visions. Rose and Emmett. Earlier I was able to get a vision of the battlefield right before it started. That's how I knew about there being nine shifter tribes. All of them were dispersed throughout the woods and surrounding area, so I couldn't tell what they were, but I know that the enemy didn't know we had them surrounded. We took the mountainside, while the shifters surrounded the rest. They were completely clueless. They did have help, though. There are six more enchanted jewelry pieces. We have to get to them before the vamp pieces are torched. Alice are you ready, Honey?"
She nodded, so I started seriously. "Okay, I can describe them to you while I picture them and send them to Alice. First and foremost, there's Victoria's ring of power. It makes her army not able to disobey her somehow. It's antique. The entire band is encrusted with Fiery red sapphires and white diamonds. To top it off, there's another sapphire of the same color sitting beautifully in a six prong setting. It was an antique-style ring, but in white metal... white gold or platinum. Large center stone, so it's easy to notice."
I sent the picture to Alice. "Wow, beautiful."
I nodded, "Beautiful, but evil. All the pieces are pure evil. Magic was woven into each piece as it was crafted. That's why this is so important. We have to get them away from Victoria and her army. They can't be destroyed by any normal means, so we'll have to see the shaman with all of the estate. There are more pieces out there still, other than the two we have and the six with Victoria. One in the Irish coven knows the seller of the entire jewelry estate, so we need to buy the whole collection, then have the pieces unbound before they can be destroyed. If not buy them, steal them or something.”
With an agreement from everyone, I continued, “The second and third pieces have the same family crest. The second is an antique gold set of cufflinks with a shield background, a sword with the hilt at the top and blade at the bottom, a gryphon on either side of the sword facing it, then a ribbon in a wide V at the bottom. Around the outside of it is a fleur-de-lis design. Ali, you ready?"
She nodded, so I sent her the picture. "The third one has the same crest design, but is a newer gold... post 1930's is my best guess. It's a gentleman's ring, with a wider band style. The crest in a square gold area at the top of it. Ali, let me know when you're ready."
She nodded, then I continued, "The fourth piece is a set of two silver victorian hair combs. Very pretty, with a filigree flower and butterfly design, the flower petals being deep blue sapphires."
Alice nodded, so I sent her the image. "The fifth one is a set of exquisite ruby blood drop earrings with diamond studs and diamonds nestled around the sides of the setting."
Alice nodded, then I sent her the image. "The last one is a bangle-style bracelet. I'd keep it if it hadn't been all magicked up when it was made. The base is a vine scrollwork, the leaves of the vines around the whole bracelet are emeralds. A lot of work went into carving the leaves, you could tell just by looking at it."
Alice nodded again, so I sent her the image. She sighed, "Oh Bella, your right. Too bad, it would really suit you well."
I nodded. "Ali, while you work on the sketches, I'm going to fill them in on the coming meditation."
She agreed, then kissed my cheek before going to the empty chair and side table to begin sketching like crazy. "Okay, the uber goddess needs to meditate from dawn coming up until noon."
I pointed to my head as I said the next part, "There's a shitload up here that needs to come out, but only she can access it. She couldn't before because Major hadn't claimed her fully. Now that he has, all this shit is just itching it's way to the surface. I'm giving you the option to be here for this, but it has to be done a certain way, so I need to give you the rundown. My visions earlier today showed me that Major and the uber goddess part of me have to do the meditation on the elements in the battlefield... with no clothes binding. Which means both of us need to be nude.”
When they stayed quiet and focused on me, I continued. “Most likely we'll need to be intimately connected, so there will be no shielding what happens. I know what goes on when I meditate, so I'll know and feel what's happening with Major. He is my guide through it, just like he is during my episodes. If you choose to witness this, I need to be clear. You can not stop him from anything he needs to do. I don't know what will happen, but you both know he would never hurt his mate. His whole focus needs to be on me, so you can't distract either of us. I'm leaving the decision to stay and watch or go be with the family up to you."
They nodded, then looked at each other for a minute. They looked at me with soft smiles as Rose asked, "You'd really allow us to stay during something like that?"
I nodded with a smile, "Yes. Neither one of us mind. Carlisle and Edward will have to be there to monitor me, since technically I'm still on the no sex lockdown. I'm sure Edward will have to check my hips beforehand, too."
She looked at Emmett again, then they both turned to me, saying, "We'd like to stay."
I nodded as Jake came over to the bedside. I held the sheet against my breasts, then leaned over to pet his muzzle. "Hey Jake, Did you get in a good nap?"
He nodded and whined, so Edward translated. "Yes, he did. He's going to stretch, then find something to eat. Esme is already fixing something for you to eat in the kitchen, Jake, so no rummaging necessary."
I smiled, "Go stretch, Jake. I'm still on lockdown, so I'm confined to the bed. We'll be fine."
He nodded before licking my hand. I smiled as he nuzzled his nose against me, trying to get me to lay back down. I giggled, "Okay, Jake, damn. I'm laying back down already. Go stretch before I make you sleep outside... without Esme's cooking."
His eyes went wide, then he yowled. He hurriedly turned to dash out the door in the next second, still yowling away. Edward laughed, "He says that is cruel and unusual punishment. You're horrible for even mentioning something like that."
I laughed, then remembered it was almost shift change. "Oh, shit. Jake! Make sure the whole first round is here 30 minutes before sunrise!"
Edward assured, "He heard you. The wolves are the battlefield guard, right?"
I nodded, "The wolves will be at the treeline spaced all the way around the clearing. Peter, Char, you, Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, Jake, and Leah will be placed in a circle a certain amount of feet outside the elemental design on the field, with Major and the goddess at the center of the marking. Two mated pairs on either side of us with Jake directly in my line of sight, Leah in Major's. I'll go into further detail when we're at the field. There's something more to why it's Rose and Emmett I want there instead Eleazar and Carmen, but I don't... I can't see it."
My stomach growled. Esme chose that moment to walk in with a tray. "Oh, God, Esme. I could just smother you with kisses right now. Thank you. When you're done making Jake's breakfast, can you please make up four large smoothie cups? I need one cup with each mate scent combination, along with the fruit and extracts to match. Have one of the pack bring any ingredients you're short on with them when they head this way."
She smiled, "Of course, Dear. I'll go gather the ingredients now. Is there something special you'd like me to use as a filler in them?"
I thought for a moment, then blurted out, "Anything that you smell in our scents and is edible. I know I can't smell the full extent of their scents, but if you can smell it and we have it, it can go in. Just make sure to split them up. One person's scent to a cup... fill them almost to the top... they will have to add their venoms to their corresponding cup."
She nodded seriously, "I'll get on that right now, Dear. Enjoy your breakfast."
I thanked her as I looked at my tray. Peter crawled behind me to sit me up, then let me recline against him. "Hey, Baby," I whispered as he ran his lips up my shoulder and neck, "We haven't had any time today, have we? I've missed you, too."
He nodded, but his lips never left my skin. He settled his hands over the twins in my tummy as I looked at my breakfast... a few sushi rolls, a large grilled salmon fillet, a bowl of fruit with chocolate pieces and nuts mixed in, a small bag of chocolate, as well as a large smoothie. I smiled widely, praising Esme as a saint while I dug into my food. I heard her giggling in the kitchen as I ate.
Just as I was finishing eating, my breasts ached something fierce. I clutched the sheet to me tighter as Peter breathed in my ear, "You should let Emmett and Rose feed from you, Kitten."
My eyes snapped to his, but he nodded. I looked to Char and Jasper, who nodded their agreement. I cleared my throat, gathered my courage, then said softly, "Emmett? Rose? Umm... I need to nurse really badly."
They started to get up, but I said, "No, that's not what I was going to say. I wasn't going to ask you to leave. I... umm... was going to ask if you wanted to be the ones to feed from me."
I looked down at my tray in front of me, then all of a sudden the tray was gone, and they were crushing me to them. Rose looked intently at me, her voice a bare whisper that held so much emotion, "Bella? Are you sure? That's a rare gift. We would never deny you anything you asked for, but are you sure?"
I nodded while smiling at both of them, "Yes, I'm sure. Everyone here has. My three mates were stuffed, so Edward and Alice did. And the last time, Esme was here with Carlisle, while Edward and Alice were off duty. You'll feel stronger, plus your thirst will be completely quenched. I want to do this for you. I love you both. Yes, I'm sure."
They smiled, nodding both to each other and me. I relaxed back against Peter as Char and Jasper moved to the end of the bed, letting Emmett and Rose slide up next to me. I brought my sheet down, causing both of them to gasp before moaning. Rose said softly, "Bella, you're so beautiful. God, you're glorious."
She caressed the side of my breast, making my eyes roll slightly as my breath whooshed from my lungs. She smiled softly at me, then nodded to Emmett. He lifted his hand, barely circling his middle finger over the love bite on the breast closest to him. My eyes did roll back in my head that time, plus I bit my lip to stifle my moan.
I tried to regain some control, but ended up choking out, "You'll have to draw full mouthfuls each time, and not stop until you feel the change in me. I'll tell you when that is, in case you miss it. When you feel that, it's time to stop feeding. Of course, you need to lick the love bites both before and after."
They nodded, so I relaxed further into Peter. He kissed my neck again as I asked, "Jazz, are you projecting to them?"
He smiled, "Darlin', I have been since they walked in."
I said shocked, "Well, okay, then. You can start when you're ready."
Rose and Emmett both leaned in, then licked my love bites so teasingly that it took my breath away before causing me to cry out.
When my lungs filled with air again, I panted out, "Christ... teasing ass vampires... no sex goddamn lockdown. You two are evil."
They both laughed, then did the same thing again. This time my eyes rolled back as I moaned. They latched on as I grabbed them by the hair, ordering, "Don't tease."
They both moaned, closing their eyes as they drew. Neither of them were light in their draws, so I relaxed into the feeling of them feeding. They caressed my breasts and sides as they fed. Every time one of them would moan or lick while they sucked, I would smile and kiss their foreheads. I ran my fingers through their hair the whole time, their eyes concentrating on mine as they fed. It was a definite bonding experience for the three of us. I could see in their eyes that they felt it, too.
They fed for just under 35 minutes, then the change in me happened. They both unlatched, then slowly licked and traced the love bites with their tongues as they caressed my breasts sensually. They watched me intently as I panted and bit my lip, hoping the teasing would end.
I finally gave up when Emmett scraped his teeth against one nipple as Rose flicked her tongue against the other. My eyes rolled back, then fluttered closed as I moaned. They did it again, so I whimpered. They stopped at that, with Emmett saying softly, "It's about time, Little Bit. I thought I'd never get you to let go of your control."
I blurted out breathlessly, "Fuck, you two and your teasing will be the death of me one of these days."
They both smiled like cheshire cats as they kissed my nipples, then Rose looked up at me again, "You'll let us feed from you again sometime?"
I nodded with a soft smile, then gently pecked her lips instinctively. "Yes, Rose. You probably should regularly. My milk is really filling, so you guys don't need nourishment as often, plus I seem to be nursing every couple of hours... the same amount that you just had. If each of the couples feeds once a day, with me nursing every few hours like I should, that leaves a couple feedings I can express."
She licked her lips, then gently touched them to mine again. I smiled, "I love you too, Rose."
I looked at Emmett, then back at Rose. She nodded, so I lightly brushed my lips against his. I backed off to just millimeter from his lips, licking them instinctively. He flicked his tongue against my bottom lip, so I ran mine against his top teeth, breathing as he moaned, "I can tease too, Em."
Rose giggled in response. I turned to her, grabbing her to me before licking along her top teeth. "See, Rose. It's not just Emmett I can tease, is it?"
She moaned, "Now who's evil?"
Everyone laughed, and I knew right then, that Rose and Emmett would be let in on everything soon enough. Peter ran his lips up my neck, breathing in my ear as I settled against him, "Yes, Kitten. That's why it has to be Rose and Emmett today."
He scraped his teeth down my neck, then bit hard at the juncture of my shoulder, making me moan loudly. Rose giggled as she said, "Peter's officially the evil one now. We're off the hook, Em."
I tried to laugh, but it came out as a whimper. I growled, "Fuck, Peter. Don't you dare flatten your tongue against that bite mark, or I'll cut you off of sex for a fucking month. Don't. Tease. Me."
He whimpered as he slowly released the bite. He looked at it longingly, then whimpered again, "Shit, this is torture. It's instinct, Kitten. I have to lick it. Please..."
I pursed my lips while shaking my head, "Nope. You knew better than to tease me, yet you bit me anyway, knowing what it does to me. No way, Buster. Knowing that you bit just shy of breaking the skin, that mark will be there for a while yet... so you'll see just how much your teasing effects me by having to see it, but not touch or lick it. Maybe then you'll learn not to tease me when you know we can't do anything in the near future."
He whimpered loudly, "Please, Kitten. I swear I'll be good from now on. Please, I can't stand it."
He was looking pleadingly at the mark, so I looked at Jasper. He had the same expression as Peter, yet he didn't even bite me. "Carlisle? What would it do if a vampire couldn't lick a love bite?"
He looked at me brokenly. Shit this was affecting him, too, but he's never bitten me. "It would be torture, Honey. Even for the lovers who didn't make the bite."
I looked around to saw everyone but Rose and Emmett with anguished faces, then whispered without thinking, "Oh shit."
My little verbal blunder made Emmett and Rose look around the room at everyone's faces. They analyzed everyone closely, then looked back at me, their eyes going wide with recognition. "Bella?"
I nodded, then Rose said, "Oh, Honey, you could have told us. Em and I aren't prudes, I swear. I think we just proved that by teasing you."
I nodded, "Can I tell them, guys?"
They all answered, "Yes," so I took a deep breath.
"Edward and Alice happened right after the meditation that the elders and wolves were here for, but Carlisle and Esme happened while Edward and Alice were off duty a while ago. It was when they fed from me. Carlisle has been testing my breast milk for nutrient count. He knew that my milk was sweetest and highest in nutrients during an orgasm, so he teased me mercilessly, wanting me to cum as he drank from me so he could taste it. He wouldn't touch me, though, so finally I told him to either call his mate over here and make me cum, or I'd have someone else finish the job. He chose to call Esme, of course. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but we agreed that no one outside of who was involved should know, for safety's sake. Guys, if anyone were to find out, the information could get into the wrong hands, then be used to hurt them because I have an intimate connection to them. Do you understand why I didn't tell you?"
Emmett was the one to speak this time, "Little Bit, we fully understand. We wouldn't have said anything to anyone, but we understand. Rose and I love you. We would never do anything to hurt any of you. You must know that, right?"
He sounded pained, so I crawled into his lap, straddling his legs. I wrapped myself around him, then pulled Rose up behind me to wrap an arm around her back. She kissed my neck just behind my ear as Emmett kissed my collarbone, both of their hands twined on my hips gently. I wasn't even worried that I was completely nude and showing everything to them.
"I know that, Em. Please believe me," I whispered against his lips. "I'm sorry. I was just trying to keep them safe."
He nodded, so I brought my lips to his as I wove my fingers into his hair. I licked his bottom lip. He opened to me with a moan. He brushed his tongue against mine hesitantly, then I twirled mine around it, relishing his flavor.
Christ... S'mores made over an open bonfire.
I moaned, breathing against his open mouth, "Fuuck, Em. You taste like S'mores."
I licked my lips, then crashed my mouth to his again, tightening my fingers in his hair. Rose kissed up and down my spine, but I cried out as she licked my elements. "Fucking Christ, Rose!"
I tackled her to the bed, then flicked my tongue against her neck before nipping on her bottom lip. She moaned as she kissed me sensually.
Shit. "Mmm, strawberry shortcake. Fuck, are you in trouble when I can get my hands on you. Jesus, you taste delicious."
She giggled into the kiss, "I should have kissed you when I lent you the first outfit, then. God, I wanted to kiss you so much then."
I moaned, then twined my tongue with hers again. After another minute, the kiss slowed to a stop. I smiled down at her before Emmett gently pulled me into his lap, tracing the valley between my breasts. I arched into his hand, but said, "We can't yet. I'm supposed to be on lockdown today. We have the meditation until noon, then we need to go to the rez, for my water show and to take the paintings for the Elders. After that I'm supposed to be on lockdown again until my change. Shit that feels good. I can't do anything until after Carlisle checks me when the change is complete. Fuck, Em... you need to stop."
I whimpered, so he stopped, kissing my neck lightly while whispering, "Fucking exquisite, Bella. I can't wait until Rose and I can really touch you."
I whimpered again with a nod, then saw Rose smiling, having heard everything he said. I panted at the thought of feeling Em and Rose both touching me, then whimpered as I moved off him. I felt like I wanted to cry.
Peter grabbed me up, cradling me to him, "Oh, Kitten... don't cry. We'll get to play with Rose and Em soon, I promise. Shh. Kitten, don't cry. Soon. Soon."
I nodded as I clutched him, trying to stifle my tears. I choked out, "Sorry... don't know... why... feel like I need them..."
He kissed my shoulders, then I saw him look painfully at my love bite. Christ, I forgot about that. "Rose, Em, you might want to back off of the bed for a moment. I'll be attacked as soon as I say my next words. You won't want to be caught in the crossfire."
I felt both of them get off the bed, then I said, "Alright, you can all lick the love bite Peter made."
I heard everyone dash for the bed in the same instant. Peter was licking the mark, twirling his tongue against it before anyone made it anywhere close to me. Rose and Emmett laughed loudly, then Emmett said, "Thanks for the warning, Little Bit."
As soon as Peter moaned and backed away from the area where he bit, I felt Jasper latch his teeth to it, rebiting the mark, making me shudder as I cried out. He growled and roughly licked, causing me to moan loudly, then Char took over. She brought herself flush against my back before lapping at it like a kitten with milk. I hummed in pleasure, my arousal heightening even further.
When she kissed it and backed away, Edward and Alice snatched me up, then sandwiched me between them. Edward was pressing his erection into my ass, while Alice was inhaling at my collarbone. Edward growled as bit down, making me shudder again, "Fuck, Edward. Harder. Shit!"
When he released my flesh, they took turns licking the mark. I almost exploded right then. Esme and Carlisle took Alice and Edward's places after a minute, Esme flush against my back as Carlisle pressed into my front. Carlisle's eyes darkened considerably when he looked at my mark as Esme licked the top of my spine. I grabbed his hair, then ordered him, "Bite, Carlisle. Bite me. I know you want to. Bite hard."
That snapped his control. He grabbed my ass as he growled loudly, then bit down extremely hard. I was surprised he didn't break the skin. He moaned, flattening his tongue against the mark instantly. I cried out at the pleasure/pain sensation rolling through me, "Fuck, Carlisle. Yes! Shit, so close."
He backed up enough to kiss me passionately as Esme sucked on the mark, twirling her tongue in a way that made me whimper loudly.
When the kiss broke, I opened my eyes. I was surprised to see Rose and Emmett there ready to take Carlisle and Esme's places. They hesitated when Carlisle and Esme kissed my temples, but I grabbed their hands and brought them to me. Emmett immediately flicked his tongue against my lips as Rose sucked and licked the bite mark. I whimpered loudly, which prompted Emmett to suck on my tongue.
When Rose released the bite, Emmett whispered, "Can I, Bella?"
I moaned, "Please, Em. Bite me."
He needed no further invitation, eagerly biting just as hard as Carlisle. I shuddered violently as I cried out in need, tears running down my face, "Jesus, Christ! Unghh... Fucking hell! Please, I need to cum."
So much pain and pleasure, yet I wanted more. Emmett growled extremely loud, making his teeth vibrate against the flesh still trapped between his strong jaws.
The next instant, I was screaming, quaking worse than a 7.0 earthquake, as Rose soaked and licked my elements while Emmett released the bite to lick it roughly. He was tweaking the very tips of my nipples, scraping his nails against them at the same time as he licked the mark. "Shit. Em! Rose! So good. Fuck! Again, please!"
They both repeated their motions. I shuddered so bad that my legs gave out. They both tightened their grip on my hips as Emmett scraped his teeth against my nipples. I screamed wordlessly as another orgasm rocked me to the core. Green fireworks exploded around the room as tears streamed down my face.
When my orgasm subsided, they both kissed and nipped my shoulders, making the aftershocks send tingles through my body. They whispered at the same time, "Thank you."
I croaked out, "No. thank you. That was fucking amazing."
I panted, trying to catch my breath. Then I noticed something as Emmett laid next to me on the bed, after he laid me down gently. "Em?"
He kissed my temple, "Yes, Little Bit?"
I whispered softly, hoping I was wrong, "Did the girls not want to bite me? Did I do something wrong?"
He smiled with a shake of his head, "Tell me, Little Bit. You usually have no problem with the guys dominating in bed, right?"
I nodded, "Yeah, so?"
He looked deeply in my eyes. "You're the dominant female. You're the alpha, sexy little Goddess. How many times does Char bite you like that without some kind of cue from you?"
I thought back, even though I knew I really didn't need to. "It's always been when she felt the need from me or I told her to."
He nodded, "Right. It's not because they didn't want to, Little Bit. It's because they were showing their respect to you as the dominant female. Think about it. You were the one who claimed Char, Beautiful. You took control and made her yours... hot as hell in my imagination, by the way... but you were the one, not Char. Did Alice take over or did you? Did Esme take over or did you?"
I said immediately, "I did. I called them both to me. Instinct. I wanted to taste them."
He nodded, "See. They automatically know you are the leader. They'll follow any cue you give them or they feel from you, but they won't make the first move nine times out of ten. They're the pack to your alpha. You're the Major to their Isabella, Little Bit. Do you see now?"
I nodded, breathing out in relief. "Thanks, Em. You're always good at explaining."
I was laying between my mates waiting for Edward to return from the bathroom. I heard the sink faucet shut off, then he returned to the bed. He slowly and carefully wiped me down, cleaning the stickiness from me. When he was done, he dropped the cloth to the floor before asking, "Alright, Sweetheart. How do you feel? Any pain or discomfort?"
I smiled widely as I shook my head, "Nope, none. What's the verdict?"
He laughed, "Well. You'll have to have Major start over the training on holding back your orgasms. Your g-spot is much more prominent. I suspect it felt to you like every slight brush was a severe rub. From my estimate, it's at least ten times more sensitive to touch. Is that about right, Carlisle?"
He nodded, but said, "At the very least. She will not be able to hold out for long at all, so Major needs to understand that. An unintentional brush that barely touches it could set her off. It will be quite a lot easier to stimulate during intercourse, as well… even in the missionary position."
Edward nodded, but Peter and Jasper both looked at them wide-eyed. "Other than that," he continued, "She is perfect. Her body adjusted well, and nothing else internally has shifted. Nor was anything harmed in any way. Her cervix is still strong from the venom. I didn't feel any weak spots around the edges or the point where it closed. All the measurements lined right up with Carlisle's, with the exception of her g-spot. That -as we said- is more prominent, and will make her much more sensitive to gushing... as well as cumming in general. Her hips, tailbone, and pelvic bone shifted into the ideal position well."
He took a deep breath, then looked at me seriously before he continued, "Bella? I had spoken to Carlisle after we were together, about your hips not seeming to be in the right position... them not being as pliable as they should be for someone in their second trimester. I didn't want to worry you for nothing. When I got back here with Alice, Carlisle confirmed that he felt the same way. I was happy that you wanted me to work more on that area for your massage. You are built very small, Sweetheart. Even with the widening of your hips from the goddess transformation, your pregnancy will be difficult on that whole area... even more so since you're carrying twins. Your hips and bones in your pelvis need to be able to shift and widen easily, to accommodate the babies as well as the extra weight they'll be pressing on you. I think it would be a good idea for me to keep track of this. I would like to work as something similar to a doula for you during your pregnancy and labor. You need nightly massages, and at least once a week, we'll need to work a deep massage specifically on the area we did tonight. If we keep up with it, we shouldn't have to go through the process of shifting and settling that we did tonight.”
I knew there was more, so I nodded for him to continue. “Carlisle and I are both of the feeling that this will be a continuing problem for you with your small build and bone structure. If we don't keep ahead of this, you may not be able to carry the twins to term, or your pelvic bones may break from the constant stress the babies are putting on them. Alice has already ordered the massage table, but I think we should get you a birthing ball and some other things, to help with widening your hips, as well as making both you and the babies more comfortable throughout the pregnancy. How do you feel about that?"
Wow. My body was agreeing with everything Edward said, so I whispered, "I think we need to do it. My body agreed with everything you said, plus I really want to try to give birth naturally. I'd rather not go through a C-Section if we don't have to. Even with being a vampire goddess, a C-Section will take longer for me to recover from, which leaves us vulnerable."
I looked at my mates, who all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Jasper kissed me softly, "We agree, Darlin'. Being pregnant with a broken pelvis is not a good thing. We think Edward should take over all your massages and be your doula."
I nodded as I smiled softly at them. Looking back to Edward, I said, "Let's do it. We have nightly massages and weekly concentration on my hips, tailbone, and public bone. A birthing ball. What else?"
He smiled, "Daily Yoga. I don't want you doing vampire level while you're pregnant, but advanced is fine, as long as you can get into positions on your own without discomfort. We'll have to adapt some of the positions, maybe add some new ones in. Any position you can do to open or widen your pelvic area is good. Char? Do you have ideas on some to put her through?"
Char briefly thought for a second, then smiled, "Yeah. Bound Eagle, Extended Triangle, Revolved Triangle, One-Legged King Pigeon, Warrior II, Bound Extended Side Angle, Bird of Paradise, Monkey, Flying Crow, Lizard, Cow Face, Sleeping Vishnu, Downward Facing Dog, Garland, Standing Straddle/Forward Bend, Child's Pose, Goddess, and of course her standard, Lotus. Lotus is the ultimate hip opener. She uses a couple of those in her routine already, but all of the ones I just mentioned are good for the hip and groin area. Some of them we'll have to tweak slightly as her tummy expands, but only one or two will have to be dropped altogether. Some of them are good for strengthening her back or relieving back pain, as well as opening the hips and groin. That should help later, as the weight gain and position of the babies changes her posture."
Edward nodded, "If you wouldn't mind, please work with her on finding a routine that will best suit those needs. If you can alternate routines, that would be good too. No more vampire workouts, though."
Alice spoke up, "Baby? Emmett has a birthing ball. Don't you remember? It's the beach ball. He bought several as beach balls, because of how thick they were and the weight capacity. We can get one from him, then start Bella on the ball sooner."
Carlisle laughed, "I think we all tried to put that out of our minds, Alice, but yes. It would be beneficial for her to start sooner."
I spoke softly as I thought about what needed to be done, "We can get ourselves put together and air the room out a little, then call them over if you want. I'd like to see them. I feel like they’re being so patient, and I'm just neglecting them. Is that okay?"
They all nodded, then Carlisle ordered, "You need to stay as you are, but you can cover with the sheet. You are still on lockdown, Bella. You shouldn't have the constriction of clothing right now... especially after the work Edward had to do on your hips. Just because you got to cum doesn't mean the restriction is lifted. We can't take chances now, with being so close to your turning."
I nodded, "I know, Carlisle. I promise to listen to what you and Edward say. I don't want anything to jeopardize this pregnancy. Umm..."
I looked to my mates, then brought their ears all into breathing distance of my mouth. "With all the work Edward will be doing, would it be a good idea to have them take the spare room here in the cabin? None of the wolves use it, Jake sleeps in here with us, plus we still have a shit-ton of people on their way here."
They all looked at me with a wide smile, nodding their response. I looked back at Edward. "You being my doula is going to be a 24/7 thing, right?"
He smiled softly, "Yes, a doula is usually available to the pregnant mother 24/7."
I smiled, "Will you and Alice take the spare room here? It would save time, rather than running back and forth from the main house. Plus, before Halloween, we will be up to nine total shifter packs. I found that out during the first part of Char's massage. That would open a room at the main house. Your room there is big enough that bunks could be put in for several shifters, or house a mated vampire couple. The closet isn't huge in the spare room, but you can put some of your things in ours too. Will you move in here with us?"
They looked at each other, both got cheshire cat grins, then exclaimed together, "Of course! We'd love to."
Esme and Carlisle were grinning in the background, so I knew they didn't mind.
"Okay. Let's get this room opened up, so I can see Emmett and Rose before dawn. I need to meditate from dawn till noon with Major. So much is rattling around up here, but only the Goddess Elemental can reach it. She'll need her Major with her. Rose and Emmett can stay while I meditate. Can you fill Edward and Alice in on the stuff we learned earlier, Carlisle? I'll need to send Alice the visions of the jewels, so she can sketch a visual of what everyone's looking for."
He nodded as I relaxed into my mates, closing my eyes and breathing them in. I heard Carlisle and Edward getting dressed, then Jasper opened all the doors and windows to the cabin. He and Peter pulled jeans on as Char slipped a sundress on. Carlisle filled Edward and Alice in on everything we learned during my massage. They were both floored with all the information. Hell, I was still floored by it.
Something came back to me. I growled out dangerously as my eyes changed to vividly flaring starburst, "We need a way to effectively express my milk without diminishing my supply over time. Twice a day until Halloween. I'm serious about the party. I'll fucking cancel it myself if I have to. None of you will change my mind. I'll use my powers on anyone that so much as looks at Emily wrong that night. Those six that snapped... they effectively fucked all of us and killed my children. We have to get through this as one. I want a meeting set up as soon as all nine packs -as well as all the vampires known to be coming- are here. I don't care what I have to do to make everyone understand. The babies aren't going to be safe from miscarriage until after this battle. If we lose this battle with Victoria for any minute reason at all, I miscarry, then it's all over. The plagues, the Volturi openly rounding up gifteds, Maria wreaking havoc on the whole of the U.S... all of that happens, yet my children don't live to see their destinies fulfilled. No supernatural creature or human will be safe in that world. We can't let that come to be. I won't let it. I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me myself, but I won't let it be a swift death."
My eyes flashed dangerously as Major sat in front of me. I knew it was him because I felt the personality shift in him. I looked in his eyes, saying, "Hey, Major. Nice of you to join my death rant. You want to add anything, or are we good?"
He fucking smirked at me, "As a matter of fact, I do, Isabella. First off, I fully agree with ya. Everyone that comes here gets told that we hafta work as one, that none of the rez occupants are to be harmed. No matter what, the vampires shoulda fed before a party knowin' there’d be humans there.”
His eyes flashed with emotion as he continued, “Every vampire will be thirst checked by both of us before the party. Our group ‘ll make it clear just what we can do, as well as what'll happen if they don't fuckin' stay in line. Trainin' and practices are gonna get a fuck-ton harder... no more goin' easy. No matter what we hafta do, we'll win this battle... make our children safe... make the world safe. I swear it, Isabella. Second... Fuck, you're so sexy when you're like this. Hearin' ya growl like that sent tingles up my spine. I was hard as stone instantly."
He smirked as he brought my face to his, flicking his tongue against my bottom lip.
Christ, he knows I love it when he does that. I nipped his bottom lip, sucked on it for a second before deepening the kiss.
I heard two people in the room clear their throats, which caused me to growl instinctively. Major moaned, then I heard, "Sweetheart? You're still on a no-sex restriction. I have a big feeling sex with Major right now would not be gentle. It would be light-the-world-on-fire heat, which is definitely not allowed right now. I'm sorry, but you can't. This is about the babies, Sweetheart. Think about them, and you'll know I'm right."
I growled menacingly as I looked at Edward, then closed my eyes while breathing deeply to calm my emotions. I looked to Edward again, then said, "Fuck. I know you're right, but don't expect me to be happy about it."
He watched as my eyes changed back to green, smiling, "I know, Sweetheart, but it's for the best right now. You can have light-the-world-on-fire sex with Major as soon as your physical is done after your turning, once everything is deemed safe. I promise."
I nodded, then looked at Major, "Hold that thought, Major. I expect you to hold up to what Edward said as soon as we can."
He nipped my neck with a growl, "Shit. Alright. I have to go sit over there for a few minutes if I'm gonna keep my hands off ya."
He kissed my neck, then went to sit in the empty chair. He placed his elbows on his knees, gripping his hair tightly as he breathed deeply. I could tell he was trying to calm enough to switch personas again, but it wasn't working. I could see the grip on his hair tightening and releasing methodically. I got an idea... "Jazz?"
His eyes immediately snapped to mine, "Yes, Darlin'? Do you need something?"
I smiled widely. "Nope, just thought I'd give you a hand changing back."
He looked at me questioningly. "Oh, yeah. I forgot I didn't tell you yet. I can feel the change when you switch between Jasper and Major. Inside me, I can feel it. It's part of having both Major and Jasper's soul pieces in me. I could tell you were just having trouble trying to switch personas again, so I thought I’d try to help. I'm glad it worked."
He smiled widely. "Darlin', you are truly amazing. No one has ever been able to pull me out of Major mode. Peter and Char might be able to get me calmed, but they could never make me change back. When you called me Jazz, it was instinct and happened immediately."
I smiled, "I love you, Cowboy. So much."
He smiled as he came over to kiss my temple, "I know, Darlin'. I love you, too."
I looked up to him as I said, "Is it safe to call Emmett and Rose now? If so, have them bring the ball, plus a fresh sketchpad and colored pencils or chalks for Alice. I need to get the visions to her."
He looked to Peter, then they both stood in the middle of the room. They took several deep breaths, looked at each other, then nodded, "We're clear. I'll leave the windows open a while longer, but they shouldn't smell anything more than the four of us. I understand why we shouldn't, but it would just be easier if we could tell people. Charlie wouldn't accept it... I understand that... but it would just save from having to keep it from our family."
I nodded sadly. "I know, Cowboy, but it's safer this way. For everyone involved. If people knew and it got around, Victoria could try to use the knowledge to her advantage. The last thing we need, is for anyone to try to use that knowledge against us... putting Alice, Edward, Esme, or Carlisle in danger because of their special connection to us. It has to be this way for right now. You all understand, right? I can't have any of you getting hurt because you happen to have an intimate connection with me. I just can't risk it."
All four of them came to the bed, surrounding me in a hug. Esme said, "We understand, Dear. If you ever feel it's safe to let them know, you just tell us. We'll go from there."
Alice nodded, "We don't mind Sweetie, and we know you feel it's safer. We'll all take our cues from you on how this'll work. You'll let us know if and when things can change."
I kissed each one of their cheeks, "Thank you for understanding. I don't like it either. Hopefully it'll feel safer soon. Let's just get through this battle first, then we can reevaluate once we're in Texas."
They all nodded and broke off the hug. "Alright, Jazz. Call Rose and Emmett, please."
He flipped open his phone to make the call. They were at the door a few minutes later, Emmett carrying a huge ball, while Rose carried Alice's sketch pad, chalks, and pencils. They both rushed me, hugged me tight by crawling over and leaning on my mates to get to me. I giggled, "No squishing the mates, guys... and I love you, too."
Emmett kissed my forehead as Rose kissed my nose and cheeks, checking me over like she was looking for injuries. I took hold of her face in my palms, "Rose, look at me, Sweetie. No need for the mental inventory. I'm fine. I promise. Feel, both of you."
I placed their hands on my tummy, "Okay, boys. This is your Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett. Say hello. Play with Rose and Emmett for a second, My Angels."
My tummy fluttered wildly, making both Emmett and Rose gasp. Rose looked at me wide-eyed as her grin slowly spread across her face. Emmett whispered, "Wow, Little Bit. That's so cool. Do they do that all the time?"
I nodded. "They move without me talking, too, but everytime I want them to move, I send them a feeling of their limbs moving. That's the result. Carlisle flipped too, so you're not alone."
They both smiled widely, then I said, "Guys, I'm glad you came. I've missed you. I'm sorry I haven't spent much time with either of you lately. I..."
Rose cut me off, cooing, "Oh Bella, don't worry one bit about it. Everything's moving so fast it makes even our vampire minds spin like crazy. I'm just glad we get to spend even a little time with you. We've missed you, too."
Emmett nodded his agreement, so I smiled. "I have updates on the babies and me. Edward is going to be my doula because we're worried about my hips, tailbone, and pelvic bones not shifting or being pliable enough for the growth of the babies. He had to do a special massage tonight, to make my bones and tendons catch up to where they should be, for me being in my second trimester. When we had to do the rush through of the first trimester, those bones and tendons didn't shift or settle to where they should have, which put a lot of pressure and stress on them.”
They were looking at me worriedly, but I continued to explain. “Carlisle and Edward are worried that it will continue throughout my pregnancy, because I'm so small in structure. I need a doula to help combat that. Edward is professionally trained in massage, and he worked miracles on my hips and tailbone tonight, so we asked him to be my doula. That's going to be a 24/7 position, so Edward and Alice are going to move into the spare room here. That way he can help whenever I have problems or need him. We'll need their room at the house to use as a bunk room for another shifter tribe, if we can't find bunkhouses to build. By the time of the battle, we'll be up to nine shifter tribes, not including my pack. The vision I had didn't tell me what they were in animal form... just how many tribes there would be. Speaking of which, Esme?"
She was there next to me instantly, "Yes, Dear?"
I smiled softly as I asked, "Did you happen to order the cabin yet?"
She shook her head, "No, Dear. Jasper just told me I could use your laptop to do it a second ago."
I nodded, "With nine confirmed tribes, would it be a problem to order and set up another few? Do we have the room?"
She smiled and Carlisle said, "We can definitely set up more than a few, if need be. It's really no trouble, and if any of the cabins suit you, we can dismantle them to have them shipped to Texas for use there. That would save on how many needed to be ordered for there. Speaking of, you should look at the ones I thought would suit your needs for Texas. Let me call to have Tanya send the links via email to your laptop."
I nodded, "Thank you, that would help tremendously. Alice we need to get going on the jewelry visions. Rose and Emmett. Earlier I was able to get a vision of the battlefield right before it started. That's how I knew about there being nine shifter tribes. All of them were dispersed throughout the woods and surrounding area, so I couldn't tell what they were, but I know that the enemy didn't know we had them surrounded. We took the mountainside, while the shifters surrounded the rest. They were completely clueless. They did have help, though. There are six more enchanted jewelry pieces. We have to get to them before the vamp pieces are torched. Alice are you ready, Honey?"
She nodded, so I started seriously. "Okay, I can describe them to you while I picture them and send them to Alice. First and foremost, there's Victoria's ring of power. It makes her army not able to disobey her somehow. It's antique. The entire band is encrusted with Fiery red sapphires and white diamonds. To top it off, there's another sapphire of the same color sitting beautifully in a six prong setting. It was an antique-style ring, but in white metal... white gold or platinum. Large center stone, so it's easy to notice."
I sent the picture to Alice. "Wow, beautiful."
I nodded, "Beautiful, but evil. All the pieces are pure evil. Magic was woven into each piece as it was crafted. That's why this is so important. We have to get them away from Victoria and her army. They can't be destroyed by any normal means, so we'll have to see the shaman with all of the estate. There are more pieces out there still, other than the two we have and the six with Victoria. One in the Irish coven knows the seller of the entire jewelry estate, so we need to buy the whole collection, then have the pieces unbound before they can be destroyed. If not buy them, steal them or something.”
With an agreement from everyone, I continued, “The second and third pieces have the same family crest. The second is an antique gold set of cufflinks with a shield background, a sword with the hilt at the top and blade at the bottom, a gryphon on either side of the sword facing it, then a ribbon in a wide V at the bottom. Around the outside of it is a fleur-de-lis design. Ali, you ready?"
She nodded, so I sent her the picture. "The third one has the same crest design, but is a newer gold... post 1930's is my best guess. It's a gentleman's ring, with a wider band style. The crest in a square gold area at the top of it. Ali, let me know when you're ready."
She nodded, then I continued, "The fourth piece is a set of two silver victorian hair combs. Very pretty, with a filigree flower and butterfly design, the flower petals being deep blue sapphires."
Alice nodded, so I sent her the image. "The fifth one is a set of exquisite ruby blood drop earrings with diamond studs and diamonds nestled around the sides of the setting."
Alice nodded, then I sent her the image. "The last one is a bangle-style bracelet. I'd keep it if it hadn't been all magicked up when it was made. The base is a vine scrollwork, the leaves of the vines around the whole bracelet are emeralds. A lot of work went into carving the leaves, you could tell just by looking at it."
Alice nodded again, so I sent her the image. She sighed, "Oh Bella, your right. Too bad, it would really suit you well."
I nodded. "Ali, while you work on the sketches, I'm going to fill them in on the coming meditation."
She agreed, then kissed my cheek before going to the empty chair and side table to begin sketching like crazy. "Okay, the uber goddess needs to meditate from dawn coming up until noon."
I pointed to my head as I said the next part, "There's a shitload up here that needs to come out, but only she can access it. She couldn't before because Major hadn't claimed her fully. Now that he has, all this shit is just itching it's way to the surface. I'm giving you the option to be here for this, but it has to be done a certain way, so I need to give you the rundown. My visions earlier today showed me that Major and the uber goddess part of me have to do the meditation on the elements in the battlefield... with no clothes binding. Which means both of us need to be nude.”
When they stayed quiet and focused on me, I continued. “Most likely we'll need to be intimately connected, so there will be no shielding what happens. I know what goes on when I meditate, so I'll know and feel what's happening with Major. He is my guide through it, just like he is during my episodes. If you choose to witness this, I need to be clear. You can not stop him from anything he needs to do. I don't know what will happen, but you both know he would never hurt his mate. His whole focus needs to be on me, so you can't distract either of us. I'm leaving the decision to stay and watch or go be with the family up to you."
They nodded, then looked at each other for a minute. They looked at me with soft smiles as Rose asked, "You'd really allow us to stay during something like that?"
I nodded with a smile, "Yes. Neither one of us mind. Carlisle and Edward will have to be there to monitor me, since technically I'm still on the no sex lockdown. I'm sure Edward will have to check my hips beforehand, too."
She looked at Emmett again, then they both turned to me, saying, "We'd like to stay."
I nodded as Jake came over to the bedside. I held the sheet against my breasts, then leaned over to pet his muzzle. "Hey Jake, Did you get in a good nap?"
He nodded and whined, so Edward translated. "Yes, he did. He's going to stretch, then find something to eat. Esme is already fixing something for you to eat in the kitchen, Jake, so no rummaging necessary."
I smiled, "Go stretch, Jake. I'm still on lockdown, so I'm confined to the bed. We'll be fine."
He nodded before licking my hand. I smiled as he nuzzled his nose against me, trying to get me to lay back down. I giggled, "Okay, Jake, damn. I'm laying back down already. Go stretch before I make you sleep outside... without Esme's cooking."
His eyes went wide, then he yowled. He hurriedly turned to dash out the door in the next second, still yowling away. Edward laughed, "He says that is cruel and unusual punishment. You're horrible for even mentioning something like that."
I laughed, then remembered it was almost shift change. "Oh, shit. Jake! Make sure the whole first round is here 30 minutes before sunrise!"
Edward assured, "He heard you. The wolves are the battlefield guard, right?"
I nodded, "The wolves will be at the treeline spaced all the way around the clearing. Peter, Char, you, Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, Jake, and Leah will be placed in a circle a certain amount of feet outside the elemental design on the field, with Major and the goddess at the center of the marking. Two mated pairs on either side of us with Jake directly in my line of sight, Leah in Major's. I'll go into further detail when we're at the field. There's something more to why it's Rose and Emmett I want there instead Eleazar and Carmen, but I don't... I can't see it."
My stomach growled. Esme chose that moment to walk in with a tray. "Oh, God, Esme. I could just smother you with kisses right now. Thank you. When you're done making Jake's breakfast, can you please make up four large smoothie cups? I need one cup with each mate scent combination, along with the fruit and extracts to match. Have one of the pack bring any ingredients you're short on with them when they head this way."
She smiled, "Of course, Dear. I'll go gather the ingredients now. Is there something special you'd like me to use as a filler in them?"
I thought for a moment, then blurted out, "Anything that you smell in our scents and is edible. I know I can't smell the full extent of their scents, but if you can smell it and we have it, it can go in. Just make sure to split them up. One person's scent to a cup... fill them almost to the top... they will have to add their venoms to their corresponding cup."
She nodded seriously, "I'll get on that right now, Dear. Enjoy your breakfast."
I thanked her as I looked at my tray. Peter crawled behind me to sit me up, then let me recline against him. "Hey, Baby," I whispered as he ran his lips up my shoulder and neck, "We haven't had any time today, have we? I've missed you, too."
He nodded, but his lips never left my skin. He settled his hands over the twins in my tummy as I looked at my breakfast... a few sushi rolls, a large grilled salmon fillet, a bowl of fruit with chocolate pieces and nuts mixed in, a small bag of chocolate, as well as a large smoothie. I smiled widely, praising Esme as a saint while I dug into my food. I heard her giggling in the kitchen as I ate.
Just as I was finishing eating, my breasts ached something fierce. I clutched the sheet to me tighter as Peter breathed in my ear, "You should let Emmett and Rose feed from you, Kitten."
My eyes snapped to his, but he nodded. I looked to Char and Jasper, who nodded their agreement. I cleared my throat, gathered my courage, then said softly, "Emmett? Rose? Umm... I need to nurse really badly."
They started to get up, but I said, "No, that's not what I was going to say. I wasn't going to ask you to leave. I... umm... was going to ask if you wanted to be the ones to feed from me."
I looked down at my tray in front of me, then all of a sudden the tray was gone, and they were crushing me to them. Rose looked intently at me, her voice a bare whisper that held so much emotion, "Bella? Are you sure? That's a rare gift. We would never deny you anything you asked for, but are you sure?"
I nodded while smiling at both of them, "Yes, I'm sure. Everyone here has. My three mates were stuffed, so Edward and Alice did. And the last time, Esme was here with Carlisle, while Edward and Alice were off duty. You'll feel stronger, plus your thirst will be completely quenched. I want to do this for you. I love you both. Yes, I'm sure."
They smiled, nodding both to each other and me. I relaxed back against Peter as Char and Jasper moved to the end of the bed, letting Emmett and Rose slide up next to me. I brought my sheet down, causing both of them to gasp before moaning. Rose said softly, "Bella, you're so beautiful. God, you're glorious."
She caressed the side of my breast, making my eyes roll slightly as my breath whooshed from my lungs. She smiled softly at me, then nodded to Emmett. He lifted his hand, barely circling his middle finger over the love bite on the breast closest to him. My eyes did roll back in my head that time, plus I bit my lip to stifle my moan.
I tried to regain some control, but ended up choking out, "You'll have to draw full mouthfuls each time, and not stop until you feel the change in me. I'll tell you when that is, in case you miss it. When you feel that, it's time to stop feeding. Of course, you need to lick the love bites both before and after."
They nodded, so I relaxed further into Peter. He kissed my neck again as I asked, "Jazz, are you projecting to them?"
He smiled, "Darlin', I have been since they walked in."
I said shocked, "Well, okay, then. You can start when you're ready."
Rose and Emmett both leaned in, then licked my love bites so teasingly that it took my breath away before causing me to cry out.
When my lungs filled with air again, I panted out, "Christ... teasing ass vampires... no sex goddamn lockdown. You two are evil."
They both laughed, then did the same thing again. This time my eyes rolled back as I moaned. They latched on as I grabbed them by the hair, ordering, "Don't tease."
They both moaned, closing their eyes as they drew. Neither of them were light in their draws, so I relaxed into the feeling of them feeding. They caressed my breasts and sides as they fed. Every time one of them would moan or lick while they sucked, I would smile and kiss their foreheads. I ran my fingers through their hair the whole time, their eyes concentrating on mine as they fed. It was a definite bonding experience for the three of us. I could see in their eyes that they felt it, too.
They fed for just under 35 minutes, then the change in me happened. They both unlatched, then slowly licked and traced the love bites with their tongues as they caressed my breasts sensually. They watched me intently as I panted and bit my lip, hoping the teasing would end.
I finally gave up when Emmett scraped his teeth against one nipple as Rose flicked her tongue against the other. My eyes rolled back, then fluttered closed as I moaned. They did it again, so I whimpered. They stopped at that, with Emmett saying softly, "It's about time, Little Bit. I thought I'd never get you to let go of your control."
I blurted out breathlessly, "Fuck, you two and your teasing will be the death of me one of these days."
They both smiled like cheshire cats as they kissed my nipples, then Rose looked up at me again, "You'll let us feed from you again sometime?"
I nodded with a soft smile, then gently pecked her lips instinctively. "Yes, Rose. You probably should regularly. My milk is really filling, so you guys don't need nourishment as often, plus I seem to be nursing every couple of hours... the same amount that you just had. If each of the couples feeds once a day, with me nursing every few hours like I should, that leaves a couple feedings I can express."
She licked her lips, then gently touched them to mine again. I smiled, "I love you too, Rose."
I looked at Emmett, then back at Rose. She nodded, so I lightly brushed my lips against his. I backed off to just millimeter from his lips, licking them instinctively. He flicked his tongue against my bottom lip, so I ran mine against his top teeth, breathing as he moaned, "I can tease too, Em."
Rose giggled in response. I turned to her, grabbing her to me before licking along her top teeth. "See, Rose. It's not just Emmett I can tease, is it?"
She moaned, "Now who's evil?"
Everyone laughed, and I knew right then, that Rose and Emmett would be let in on everything soon enough. Peter ran his lips up my neck, breathing in my ear as I settled against him, "Yes, Kitten. That's why it has to be Rose and Emmett today."
He scraped his teeth down my neck, then bit hard at the juncture of my shoulder, making me moan loudly. Rose giggled as she said, "Peter's officially the evil one now. We're off the hook, Em."
I tried to laugh, but it came out as a whimper. I growled, "Fuck, Peter. Don't you dare flatten your tongue against that bite mark, or I'll cut you off of sex for a fucking month. Don't. Tease. Me."
He whimpered as he slowly released the bite. He looked at it longingly, then whimpered again, "Shit, this is torture. It's instinct, Kitten. I have to lick it. Please..."
I pursed my lips while shaking my head, "Nope. You knew better than to tease me, yet you bit me anyway, knowing what it does to me. No way, Buster. Knowing that you bit just shy of breaking the skin, that mark will be there for a while yet... so you'll see just how much your teasing effects me by having to see it, but not touch or lick it. Maybe then you'll learn not to tease me when you know we can't do anything in the near future."
He whimpered loudly, "Please, Kitten. I swear I'll be good from now on. Please, I can't stand it."
He was looking pleadingly at the mark, so I looked at Jasper. He had the same expression as Peter, yet he didn't even bite me. "Carlisle? What would it do if a vampire couldn't lick a love bite?"
He looked at me brokenly. Shit this was affecting him, too, but he's never bitten me. "It would be torture, Honey. Even for the lovers who didn't make the bite."
I looked around to saw everyone but Rose and Emmett with anguished faces, then whispered without thinking, "Oh shit."
My little verbal blunder made Emmett and Rose look around the room at everyone's faces. They analyzed everyone closely, then looked back at me, their eyes going wide with recognition. "Bella?"
I nodded, then Rose said, "Oh, Honey, you could have told us. Em and I aren't prudes, I swear. I think we just proved that by teasing you."
I nodded, "Can I tell them, guys?"
They all answered, "Yes," so I took a deep breath.
"Edward and Alice happened right after the meditation that the elders and wolves were here for, but Carlisle and Esme happened while Edward and Alice were off duty a while ago. It was when they fed from me. Carlisle has been testing my breast milk for nutrient count. He knew that my milk was sweetest and highest in nutrients during an orgasm, so he teased me mercilessly, wanting me to cum as he drank from me so he could taste it. He wouldn't touch me, though, so finally I told him to either call his mate over here and make me cum, or I'd have someone else finish the job. He chose to call Esme, of course. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but we agreed that no one outside of who was involved should know, for safety's sake. Guys, if anyone were to find out, the information could get into the wrong hands, then be used to hurt them because I have an intimate connection to them. Do you understand why I didn't tell you?"
Emmett was the one to speak this time, "Little Bit, we fully understand. We wouldn't have said anything to anyone, but we understand. Rose and I love you. We would never do anything to hurt any of you. You must know that, right?"
He sounded pained, so I crawled into his lap, straddling his legs. I wrapped myself around him, then pulled Rose up behind me to wrap an arm around her back. She kissed my neck just behind my ear as Emmett kissed my collarbone, both of their hands twined on my hips gently. I wasn't even worried that I was completely nude and showing everything to them.
"I know that, Em. Please believe me," I whispered against his lips. "I'm sorry. I was just trying to keep them safe."
He nodded, so I brought my lips to his as I wove my fingers into his hair. I licked his bottom lip. He opened to me with a moan. He brushed his tongue against mine hesitantly, then I twirled mine around it, relishing his flavor.
Christ... S'mores made over an open bonfire.
I moaned, breathing against his open mouth, "Fuuck, Em. You taste like S'mores."
I licked my lips, then crashed my mouth to his again, tightening my fingers in his hair. Rose kissed up and down my spine, but I cried out as she licked my elements. "Fucking Christ, Rose!"
I tackled her to the bed, then flicked my tongue against her neck before nipping on her bottom lip. She moaned as she kissed me sensually.
Shit. "Mmm, strawberry shortcake. Fuck, are you in trouble when I can get my hands on you. Jesus, you taste delicious."
She giggled into the kiss, "I should have kissed you when I lent you the first outfit, then. God, I wanted to kiss you so much then."
I moaned, then twined my tongue with hers again. After another minute, the kiss slowed to a stop. I smiled down at her before Emmett gently pulled me into his lap, tracing the valley between my breasts. I arched into his hand, but said, "We can't yet. I'm supposed to be on lockdown today. We have the meditation until noon, then we need to go to the rez, for my water show and to take the paintings for the Elders. After that I'm supposed to be on lockdown again until my change. Shit that feels good. I can't do anything until after Carlisle checks me when the change is complete. Fuck, Em... you need to stop."
I whimpered, so he stopped, kissing my neck lightly while whispering, "Fucking exquisite, Bella. I can't wait until Rose and I can really touch you."
I whimpered again with a nod, then saw Rose smiling, having heard everything he said. I panted at the thought of feeling Em and Rose both touching me, then whimpered as I moved off him. I felt like I wanted to cry.
Peter grabbed me up, cradling me to him, "Oh, Kitten... don't cry. We'll get to play with Rose and Em soon, I promise. Shh. Kitten, don't cry. Soon. Soon."
I nodded as I clutched him, trying to stifle my tears. I choked out, "Sorry... don't know... why... feel like I need them..."
He kissed my shoulders, then I saw him look painfully at my love bite. Christ, I forgot about that. "Rose, Em, you might want to back off of the bed for a moment. I'll be attacked as soon as I say my next words. You won't want to be caught in the crossfire."
I felt both of them get off the bed, then I said, "Alright, you can all lick the love bite Peter made."
I heard everyone dash for the bed in the same instant. Peter was licking the mark, twirling his tongue against it before anyone made it anywhere close to me. Rose and Emmett laughed loudly, then Emmett said, "Thanks for the warning, Little Bit."
As soon as Peter moaned and backed away from the area where he bit, I felt Jasper latch his teeth to it, rebiting the mark, making me shudder as I cried out. He growled and roughly licked, causing me to moan loudly, then Char took over. She brought herself flush against my back before lapping at it like a kitten with milk. I hummed in pleasure, my arousal heightening even further.
When she kissed it and backed away, Edward and Alice snatched me up, then sandwiched me between them. Edward was pressing his erection into my ass, while Alice was inhaling at my collarbone. Edward growled as bit down, making me shudder again, "Fuck, Edward. Harder. Shit!"
When he released my flesh, they took turns licking the mark. I almost exploded right then. Esme and Carlisle took Alice and Edward's places after a minute, Esme flush against my back as Carlisle pressed into my front. Carlisle's eyes darkened considerably when he looked at my mark as Esme licked the top of my spine. I grabbed his hair, then ordered him, "Bite, Carlisle. Bite me. I know you want to. Bite hard."
That snapped his control. He grabbed my ass as he growled loudly, then bit down extremely hard. I was surprised he didn't break the skin. He moaned, flattening his tongue against the mark instantly. I cried out at the pleasure/pain sensation rolling through me, "Fuck, Carlisle. Yes! Shit, so close."
He backed up enough to kiss me passionately as Esme sucked on the mark, twirling her tongue in a way that made me whimper loudly.
When the kiss broke, I opened my eyes. I was surprised to see Rose and Emmett there ready to take Carlisle and Esme's places. They hesitated when Carlisle and Esme kissed my temples, but I grabbed their hands and brought them to me. Emmett immediately flicked his tongue against my lips as Rose sucked and licked the bite mark. I whimpered loudly, which prompted Emmett to suck on my tongue.
When Rose released the bite, Emmett whispered, "Can I, Bella?"
I moaned, "Please, Em. Bite me."
He needed no further invitation, eagerly biting just as hard as Carlisle. I shuddered violently as I cried out in need, tears running down my face, "Jesus, Christ! Unghh... Fucking hell! Please, I need to cum."
So much pain and pleasure, yet I wanted more. Emmett growled extremely loud, making his teeth vibrate against the flesh still trapped between his strong jaws.
The next instant, I was screaming, quaking worse than a 7.0 earthquake, as Rose soaked and licked my elements while Emmett released the bite to lick it roughly. He was tweaking the very tips of my nipples, scraping his nails against them at the same time as he licked the mark. "Shit. Em! Rose! So good. Fuck! Again, please!"
They both repeated their motions. I shuddered so bad that my legs gave out. They both tightened their grip on my hips as Emmett scraped his teeth against my nipples. I screamed wordlessly as another orgasm rocked me to the core. Green fireworks exploded around the room as tears streamed down my face.
When my orgasm subsided, they both kissed and nipped my shoulders, making the aftershocks send tingles through my body. They whispered at the same time, "Thank you."
I croaked out, "No. thank you. That was fucking amazing."
I panted, trying to catch my breath. Then I noticed something as Emmett laid next to me on the bed, after he laid me down gently. "Em?"
He kissed my temple, "Yes, Little Bit?"
I whispered softly, hoping I was wrong, "Did the girls not want to bite me? Did I do something wrong?"
He smiled with a shake of his head, "Tell me, Little Bit. You usually have no problem with the guys dominating in bed, right?"
I nodded, "Yeah, so?"
He looked deeply in my eyes. "You're the dominant female. You're the alpha, sexy little Goddess. How many times does Char bite you like that without some kind of cue from you?"
I thought back, even though I knew I really didn't need to. "It's always been when she felt the need from me or I told her to."
He nodded, "Right. It's not because they didn't want to, Little Bit. It's because they were showing their respect to you as the dominant female. Think about it. You were the one who claimed Char, Beautiful. You took control and made her yours... hot as hell in my imagination, by the way... but you were the one, not Char. Did Alice take over or did you? Did Esme take over or did you?"
I said immediately, "I did. I called them both to me. Instinct. I wanted to taste them."
He nodded, "See. They automatically know you are the leader. They'll follow any cue you give them or they feel from you, but they won't make the first move nine times out of ten. They're the pack to your alpha. You're the Major to their Isabella, Little Bit. Do you see now?"
I nodded, breathing out in relief. "Thanks, Em. You're always good at explaining."
