Could It Be

Chapter 24

Esme's P.O.V.

Bella eventually dozed back off for a little bit before she was fully awake and ready for the day. She tried to jump straight out of bed but I grabbed her before she fell flat on her face. She gave me a grateful look and then she started her shuffle towards the bathroom. I went to the closet and grabbed her some clothes so that she can take a bath and try to relax her tense muscles and all.

I walk into the bathroom to see her standing naked in front of the full body mirror. She is staring at herself and the marks on her body and the nasty bruise on her thighs.

"It looks worst today. They are more noticeable. Can i stay home for awhile before I go back to school?" She asks me when she sees me.

"Nobody is going to school until you are ready to start again. Carlisle told the school that you will be living with us and that something bad happened to you yesterday and that you might nkt be back for a month or two. The school wishes for you to get better and they completely understand." I say.

She turns around and looks at her back in the mirror and i can see many emotions pass through her eyes. She looks up at me and she opens her arms so I run to her and wrap her in a hug. She starts to cry and all I can do is hold her and gently rub her back.

"Bella i will get them back for this. You are still beautiful to me no matter what and I know you think your tainted and ugly but Bella please don't feel like that. Your letting them win if you think like that and i knkw you dont want them to win. Bella i am here for you and so is everyone in this house. We are your family npw and we will protect you like we do everyone else." I say to her.

She calms down and then releases me. She pecks me on the lips and then starts the water for her bath. I can see the steam rising from the water already. I grab alhold of her and gently lift her up into the bathtub and set her down. She winces but soon visibly relaxes. I step back and get things ready for when she gets out of the tub.

"Will you please get in here with me and just relax. Plus i don't want you to have clothes on because i have yet to see you fully naked like you have seen me multiple times. You almost got my hopes up yesterday when you took off your shirt and heans but you kept your bra and underwear on and that's just not fare." Bella suddenly says.

I turn around and look at Bella and she is staring at me already. I grab another towel and go grab some clothes for myself and go back to the bathroom. I take my shirt off and then my pants. I look up to Bella and she is staring at me like a hawk. I reach behind me and unclasp my bra and then watch Bella as I take it off. I keep eye contact with her as I bend down and take my underwear off. When I'm finished and walking towards her she lets her eyes travel down my body. I quickly hop in the tub and sit away from her. She looks at me and pouts.

"No fare I didnt het to see your butt. Why are you sitting so far away from me anyway get closer please." She says.

I slowly scoot clossr but not all of the way to her but in arms reach of me. She lets out an exasperated breath and grabs my arm and drags me to her so that we are side by side in the tub.

Bella's P.O.V.

I must say Esme is beautiful and she's hot. I basically dragged her closer to me because she was not sitting close enough for me. I rest my hand on her knee and her leg starts trembling. I look over to her and she's already looking at me. She leans in and captures my lips in a gentle kiss. She asks for entrance in my mouth with her tongue and i grant it. She's so gentle with everything shes doing that I start to feel different and my body tingles.

I nip her bottom lip and she moans. She gently picks me up and sits me on her lap not breaking the kiss. She trails her lips down to my neck and starts sucking on it. I lean my head to the side to give her better access and to catch my breath. She grazed her teeth over the spot when she's finished and it makes me feel extremely warm everywhere. I look to her and she kisses me rougher this time and shoves her tongue in my mouth. I wrap my arms around her neck and pull her closer to me. She's moving her tongue around feeling everything in my mouth and then she starts circling my tongue. When both of our tongues touched we both moan and I don't notice what I'm doing until Esme's hands are holding my hips.

She lets my mouth go and I put my face into her neck to hide my embarrassment from her. Gosh what was i doing. I'm so stupid she's probably scared of me now. Heck we just met and here i am basically humping her in the tub. Heck i was just raped and here I am but i must say it didnt hurt and i was enjoying it and I think Esme was too.

"You want to get out and eat some breakfast." Esme says.

I nod and she holds me and stands up. She sits me dkwn once out of the tub and throws me the towel she had set out for me. I catch it and start drying off not making any eye contact with her. I keep my head down and dry my body off.

Suddenly I'm being pushed against the wall and a hand under my chin lifting my face up.

"Don't be embarrassed. I stopped you because if we didn't stop then I might have done something to make you regret it. You are still recovering but I really enjoyed that Bella. Please dont be embarrassed about that." Esme says and kisses me.

I nod my head and she lets me go and goes back to getting dressed.

"Nice butt by the way." I say to her.

She quickly turns around and puts underwear and a bra on. I laugh silently and then get dressed myself.
