Chapter 6
Caius POV
I gently took Bella's hand in mine and led her to our adjoining rooms where we could talk; without being interrupted. I knew I had to come clean as to who my friend was, but was uneasy about it. She looked at me with fire in her eyes and asked, "Will you please tell me what is going on between you and Aro?"
I looked at her for a moment before saying, "Aro is…well, he's Aro. It's hard to explain. He likes having the upper hand and tries to piss me off to no end."
"Caius, I can see that, but why does he do it? What did you mean by, 'she will know soon enough'?"
"Bella mia, he is what he is and likes controlling certain situations. I told him that our relationship doesn't concern him and he has been looking for ways to keeps us separated. As for 'she will know soon enough,' that was for a different matter. And yes, that matter concerns you."
"What is it?" She gave me a warning look. "Don't tell me I'm not ready or I'm not going to like it…just tell me. I don't want us to have secrets between us; I want this to be an honest relationship."
I took an unneeded breath and led her to a wing-backed chair. I sat down and settled her on my lap, before telling her what she needed to know. I looked into her beautiful brown eyes and said, "The matter that concerns you is my friend and who he is. I trust him and hopefully you will too." I gaged her reaction as I continued, "Isabella, you know who my friend is. The Major…Jasper Whitlock. You know him as Jasper Hale."
She gasped and looked at me with wide eyes. She had the look of a doe caught in the headlights of a moving vehicle, when she whispered, "Jasper?"
I could tell she was surprised but what she said next stunned me. "Your friend is Jasper? Alice's mate and husband, Jasper? Tell me you are joking."
"No, Bella mia, I am not joking…nor is Alice Jasper's mate either," I replied with a smirk. "Jasper is the only person that has seen me during the full moon. He keeps me sane during this time and I trust him."
She looked at me in shock before she spoke. "Remember when I told you of my birthday party at the Cullen's? I don't think you heard me say that I got a paper cut and Jasper tried to attack me. I never held it against him because he is an empath, and I believe that he was just overwhelmed by the bloodlust of six other vampires and his own combined. Especially when my blood sings to one in particular."
She had a sad expression on her face and tears filled her eyes as I held her, trying to make the ghosts disappear. I said to her softly, "I know and yes I heard you explain it before but, I hope in time, you will trust him as I do."
"Caius, I was never allowed to get to know him. Edward said he was too dangerous for me to be around. I felt like I was kept away from him on purpose. When he and Alice took me to Phoenix, he never once tried to hurt me and he said I was worth it for him to save and keep safe." She had a hopeful look in her eyes as she continued, "Did Alice always know she wasn't his mate? Does she know that you are friends? Did she also know I belong here with you?"
"Yes, No, and I am not sure. She always knew he was not her mate. No, I do not think she knows that we are friends with a peculiar relationship, and she always saw you becoming a vampire but she did not know you and I were destined to be a mated pair. I believe she thought you were Edward's mate."
She suddenly raised an eyebrow at me, as if a thought just occurred to her. "What kind of relationship do you and Jasper have? Is it...sexual? Or are you like brothers? Don't get me wrong, but I think…that's kind of hot. The thought of you being intimate with him is really hot."
This girl had no idea of what she does to me. I raised my eyebrows in return, a smirk playing around my lips, and she turned a delicious shade of red. I shook my head and before I knew what was happening we were in a heated kiss. She opened like a flower to me and I tasted the sweet nectar of her mouth. I quickly became intoxicated by her as my hands trailed down her back to the hem of her blouse. I felt her smooth warm skin as my hand gently moved upwards to just under her breast. She arched into me, wanting more. I gathered her in my arms and moved us over to her bed. I laid back with her straddling my hips, drawing her close to me.
She began to grind herself into me as I trailed kisses from her lips to her neck and my fingers came into contact with her bra. Bella removed her arms from around my neck and began opening the buttons of my shirt. The feel of her warm touch spurned me onward. I began undoing her blouse, kissing and licking each inch of flesh that became exposed. She snaked her hands inside of my shirt and caressed my marble skin, leaving a tingling sensation wherever there was contact.
My lips reached the upper lacy fabric of her bra, as my fingers snapped it open, leaving her torso bare to me. I gently stroked her breast, teasing her nipple into a hardened peak. I kissed along her skin to that peak and took it into my mouth. She gasped at the sensation, threading her fingers into my hair, pulling me closer to her. I swirled my tongue around the hardened bud, causing her to moan with pleasure. While my mouth pleasured one, my hand teased the other.
I moved my hand away and brought my lips to the other peak, pleasing it as I had its twin. Her arousal became more prominent as I pulled back to look into her hooded eyes. I could see she wanted this as I spoke gently, "As much as I want to do this, Isabella, I cannot continue until after the moon phase…It is much too dangerous for you at this moment. You have no idea how your scent and body calls to me like a siren."
She cast her eyes to the floor saying, "I can feel how much you want this and I want it too. Why is it so dangerous?"
I watched her a moment and then said, "I could really hurt you or possibly kill you if we continue this right now. You have no idea how much I wish to claim you as mine, to possess every inch of your body, and make you scream my name in the throes of passion."
The scent of her arousal became stronger as she wound her arms around my neck and looked me in the eye asking, "You're not rejecting me, just saying I have to wait?"
"I could never turn you away…soon you will realize just how much I feel for you. You are my mate and I can never hurt you, reject you, or cause you any harm. I love you, Isabella, more than I dreamed possible."
We lay together for several hours until her stomach began to growl. I had her change into her bed clothes as I called for Heidi to bring her something to eat. I sat next to her and told her more of my life and explained my former wife's actions and out-come. She didn't look surprised as I told her what happened and said to me, "She didn't deserve you. If she had, we wouldn't be together, would we?"
"We would have been together regardless if she were here or not. I would have let her go to be with you. If she had been honest with me, she could have kept her toys and played with them, but she chose to die instead of facing me. Yes, I did love her, but not to the extent that I do you. You are my mate and I must do what is necessary to keep you safe and cared for."
"What does that mean? I don't think anyone here would hurt me.… Plus, Aro and Marcus can protect me. Anyone that would even try would meet their end by you or them, right?"
"Yes, that is true, but I have also entrusted Jasper to keep you safe as a companion, if for some reason I am unable too."
"What do you mean companion?" she asked me with wide eyes.
"In my world a companion has more than one meaning. I am basically giving him the right to be the only other male permission to be close to you. If I am busy he can stay in here with you while you sleep and hold you if necessary. And, if you so choose, he will have all right's as a husband. But you will be my bonded-mate and wife…so to speak."
She gave me a dubious look. "You're kidding? Like...friends with benefits?"
Having only an inkling of what that phrase meant, I continued to look at her. She turned serious.
"Caius, you know I could never..." She trailed off, shaking her head.
I gently took her hand and said, "He is the only other male I trust enough to be with you in any way, including sexually." I watched her expressions as she thought this over and then took her in my arms and held her, as I said, "You think it would be hot if he and I were intimate but you have no idea how hot it would be for me to see you with him. Just the thought of both of us with you makes me painfully aroused."
"What?"
