Is It Black Or Is It Noir?

Hell Hath No Fury

"Okay Peter, come on, what's wrong? That's not the face of someone who is euphoric after having sex with their girlfriend, for the first time! Going out on a limb here, I'd say it was pretty awesome. So it's not me who's getting your dander up, so spill" Bella whispered right up against his ear,

She knew they all had super hearing and didn't want anyone to hear her any more than they already had. Peter looked at her apologetically; he never meant to make her feel inadequate or disparaged. Leaning in he kissed her and whispered back,

"Not you doll, never you. It's Rose, she's makin' her mouth go down there. She just can't keep out of other people's business"

"You mean our business! Does Rose think she can interfere in our lives? Why? Is she your mother? Your sister?" Bella said her voice getting steadily louder and she had jumped up to pace back and forward due to her rising ire, totally forgetting the need to be quiet.

"What is it with supernatural beings that make them think they can shove their oar in where it doesn't belong? The Quileute Alpha tried that out on Saturday and I laid him out with a cast iron skillet" she huffed and Peter started to laugh.

"You hit what's his name, Sam somethin' with a skillet? Why?" he asked enjoying the fact she was standing naked in the middle of her flat waving her arms around,

"Because I reeked of you and he thought he could demand answers from me about how I knew some Cold Ones. He grabbed my arm to demand answers so I laid him out on Charlie's kitchen floor and told him to stick to his little reservation and mind his own damned business" Bella exclaimed defiantly.

Peter was growling now and he could see the last remnants of a handprint on Bella's upper arm. She gasped when he scooped her up and held her tight, nuzzling and licking her.

"I'm fine, it barely hurt, and I bruise easily. They show up more on pale skin, well my pale skin!" she said and started to laugh,

"Why are you laughin'?" Peter asked confused.

"Is this our first fight, Peter? Does that mean we get to have makeup sex, I hear it amazing?" she purred at him, Peter groaned and before she knew it they were back on the bed.

IIBOIIN

Emmett and Jasper fist-bumped each other while Rose's back was turned, what man didn't love makeup sex and Ashley tried not to grin. She liked this Bella and could see them being friends. Especially if she was Peter's mate, then they would be together a lot. Ashley knew Rose was not going to like how things were going around here.

She was less than pleased when it became apparent she and Jasper were mates. Rose even went as far as to try to intervene and found herself on the ground shaking with fear and that was Ashley's first glimpse of the Major. He warned Emmett to control his mate and reminded them that this was his and Peter's home they were in. Now here Rose was two days later doing it again, did she have a death wish?

These guys were not Cullen's and she doubted Bella would put up with the crap Ashley herself had had to, human or not. Jasper felt Ashley's annoyance with Rose's constant interfering and decided enough was enough. Plus he realised Laurent was also putting out a lot of disbelief and incredulity about Rose's behaviour.

"Now if you've quite finished Rose we actually have somethin' important happenin' here and it does not involve Peter and Bella's livin' or sleepin' arrangements!" Jasper said in a no-nonsense voice that had her raising an eyebrow, but before she could open her mouth Emmett said,

"Enough Rose, you're a guest here, try to at least pretend to act like one" and she growled but sat down and said nothing else.

Laurent was wide awake now and had been for a while, but he no idea what was going on. How had a human knocked him out? These idiots all acted like children, well some of them, if that was what a veggie diet did to you he'd pass. The mouthy blonde needed putting in her place as far as he could see.
