Chapter 14

JANE POV

When I came around, I found myself in Tanya's arms. I was so happy, she felt warm and safe. The love that radiated from her eyes when I looked into them was more than I had ever seen. It seemed to burn stronger than her previous hatred for me. That's when I pulled away. I want to forgive her but I will never forget the pain she has caused me.

"Jane, what wrong love?" she spoke first

"Tanya, I am so happy that you're accepting the bond between us, but I cannot just forget all the pain. Hundreds of years Tanya!" I screamed

"I know you won't forgive me anytime soon Jane. I will prove that I am worthy to be your mate. I will never give up. I will spend the rest of my immortal life making sure you know that I love you. "

"Love me?" I laughed bitterly

"You don't even know me, Tanya, you can't love me. The mate bond may have snapped into place but we all know that love isn't part of the bond. That is something that will happen as we spend time together, so don't declare your love for me. Especially after all the hate, you have shown me"

I walked to Bella, and she put her arms around me and we walked towards her car.

BELLA POV

I had moved out of the classroom to give them a bit of privacy. After a little screaming and shouting, Jane walked out and I immediately pulled her into my arms.

"Hey, Janie are you OK?"

"Bella. How many times have I said don't call me by that name," Jane whined

"A couple of hundred times, but seriously Jane what happened in there? "

" The human stampede caused me to have flashbacks to the day Alec and were turned. I'm OK now I just want to hunt and then curl up in bed with a book. "

" Well you go hunt, I'll meet you at the house later ok"

By then we had reached the car. She kissed me on the cheek and ran into the forest. The Cullen's had all left except for Rosalie who was leaning on my car, my school bag by her feet. I tossed her the keys to my car and the smile she threw in my direction was blinding.

"Wanna drive around for a bit?" I asked her

"In this car definitely, come on get in the car already, " She said still smiling. I walked around to the passenger's side. I opened the door and looked up to see Tanya walk out of the school, head down hand in her pocket. 'It was not any of my business' so I got in the car and Rosalie drove off.

" Is it bad that I feel for Tanya? I mean yes she fucked up, OK never mind she hasn't even done anything to make it up to Jane. All the sympathy is gone now" Rosalie said as she drove out of town.

She had answered her own questions so I just turned on the radio to my favourite station. We sang along to a few songs as we drove around for an hour or so. No destination just enjoying each other's company. She pulled into a dirt road, drove for a few meters and stopped.

"Bella, I know I have kidnapped you but I really wanted to take you out on a date. It's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission"

"I would love to go on a date with you. But we are kind of in the middle of nowhere Rose"

"That's what you think"

She got out of the car and flitted to my side she opened the door for me. I offered her my hand and climbed out of the car. Rose continued to hold my hand as we walked, into the forest on an Unmarked path. Then into a clearing. In the clearing was a gazebo with a space heater in case it got cold. A table with chairs. On the floor next to the table was a basket. 'I wonder what's in it'

"Well, what do you think Bella? I had Emmett set up the gazebo and Alice help with the decorating. That's why they left when you went inside for Jane. Esme cooked but I'll cook for you another time. "

"It looks beautiful Rose, let's sit". I replied

We sat down at the table and she took out the contents of the basket, first soup for me and a thermos for her.

"What's in the thermos?" I asked when she poured the red contents into a wine glass.

"I requested mountain lion but it seems to be human blood"

She looked at the glass took a deep breath and then surprised me by taking a sip. I couldn't believe Rosalie Lillian Hale was drinking human blood. Out of glass but still. She finished the contents with a sigh. The look on her face told me she had enjoyed it. More than what she expected. When she poured herself a second glass I started eating my soup. Tomato cream soup, yum.

We talked as I ate, about my life in the castle, her life with the Cullens and her friendship with the Denali coven. My second course was roast duck and potatoes. Also delicious, Esme was a wonderful chef. We talked about why I thought my father wanted me to go to a human school and why they keep going to high school and college. A ten-year plan, the younger they started out the longer they could stay in a certain place. How Rosalie had saved Emmett from a bear attack, she had hoped he would be her mate but turns out they shared a close bond as friends. How Carlisle had turned her as a mate for Edward but their relationship never got past being acquaintances. Edward was a misogynistic ass and didn't believe that woman should be fixing cars as she does, she should be a good wife and daughter. Turns out he thinks that it isn't possible for Rose and I to be mates, that we were sinners for even considering it. Towards my last course, her eyes had turned a copper colour, the human blood already having an effect on her system. Her skin seemed to glow in the sunset. As the sun continues to set the atmosphere continued to grow. The more I looked into her eyes the more aroused I became, the darker her eyes became as my scent made its way toward her. The fairy lights around the gazebo came on and the wind had chilled considerably.

Rosalie got up and switched the heater on, along with a hidden speaker and soft music played. She offered me her hand and pulled me up to dance. She held me close as we swayed to the music. When the second song ended and moved to the third she kissed me.

It was soft but electrifying. It wasn't long but I pulled her by her waist and kissed her again this time deeply. Her lips were soft against mine. I licked the seal of her lips and she parted her lips, granting me entrance. My first taste was more than I could imagine. Her tongue was cold but silky against mine. I pulled her as close I could get, but it wasn't enough I was breathing through my nose but not enough air was coming through so I slowed the kiss and pulled away. We were both breathing heavily after the kiss. Our faces were still close so once I had calmed my breathing I pulled her closer. She threaded her hands into my hair and pulled me closer. Deepening the kiss further. We hadn't realised how long we had been making out. The music had stopped, the sun had fully set and the stars were shining brightly in the sky. She pulled away this time and laid her forehead on mine.

"That. Was a-amazing," I said breathlessly

She threw her head back and laughed. She looked so beautiful at that moment. Her laughter sounded like bells in the air. I smiled, completely taken in by her. She looked back at me and said

"You took the words right out of my mouth"

She then kissed me gently and pulled away completely.

"It's getting late, we should head home," Rosalie stated as she started packing up.

"I'll help you pack," I said.

Wanting to spend more time with her. She smiled at me and then moved to pack the place at vampire speed. The lights were down, the basket packed and the heater was off in a matter of seconds.

"The others will come and pack up the rest," she said. I took her hand in mine as she walked us back to the car. I hadn't noticed before but her hand felt warm in mine. Unlike all other vampires, she was warm to me 'must be a mate thing'

We got in the car and drove in comfortable silence. My car wasn't automatic so after she had established a cruising speed she held my hand as she drove absently rubbing it with her thumb.

Soon we were home, we both got out of the car she walked to my side and I pushed her against the side of the car. I kissed her. It was slow and deep, I put an arm around her waist, her hands wound around my neck and in my hair. My second hand crept up the front of the blouse feeling the smooth skin that lay beneath, her taut stomach muscles, and the underside of her bra. She moaned into my mouth when I cupped her breasts feeling the shape and weight in my hand. She pulled me even closer as she leaned against the car. I squeezed her breast and she whimpered. I was enjoying myself but I don't want to go too far lest I be unable to stop. I went to remove my hand and she caught it with her own keeping it on her breast and helping me massage it. I pulled away from the kiss my hand still trapped.

"We need to stop"

When I said this she whined deep in her throat her submissive side believing that I didn't find her attractive

"No, that's not why I'm stopping I want our first time to be in a bed with more time not in the back seat of my car."

I looked into her eyes, black but glazed. She was in a submissive state, so I kissed her again and removed my hand. Then pulled away completely. Taking a deep breath trying to clear my head. She snapped out of her state and looked down. I pulled her head back up to look into my eyes and said.

"You are beautiful Rosalie but you deserve more than our first time being in the back of a car. I know it must not be easy for you but don't listen to those thoughts I would love more than anything to take you right now but we will be able to wait for a more appropriate time. "

" I understand it's just my instincts are warring with me. One side is telling me to listen to you because you are the more dominant but another side is telling me that you won't mate with me because I'm broken and I'm not good enough. "

"Don't listen to that, listen to me and what I'm saying. Breath in my scent you can tell I'm aroused by you," I sighed knowing it wouldn't be enough. I couldn't send her home in this state it would only make it worse.

"come," I said and pulled her toward the door. I opened the door and lead her up to my room. I didn't bother with the lights because the Moonlight was more than enough to see. I turned back to her and her head was down. I told her to strip into her underwear and she did it with no hesitation. Her smooth skin was on display just for me. She stood with her arms behind her back, head down giving herself to me. It was difficult not to throw her on the bed but I controlled myself and changed into my pyjamas, a tank top and boxer shorts. When I came back from the bathroom she was still standing just as I left her. I pulled her into the bed and she wrapped herself around me. Skin on skin and she was warm to me. I fell asleep in her arms and she entered a relaxed state in mine.
