Won't Go Home Without You

Won't Go Home Without You

I moaned as I awoke the next morning when the feeling of Alice's naked body next to mine registered with me. I grinned as I rolled from one side into her body with a grin. To say I was still exhausted from last night didn't fully cover my range of feelings. I opened my eyes and looked up at Alice. Even with her eyes so black and full of hunger, she still looked sexy.

"I'd kiss you but I wouldn't be able to stop there." I said with a smirk as I sat up a little more. She chuckled and shrugged. Her mood was a little off but if my memory served right the last time she fed was the day before we left and last night, well last night was amazing.

I groaned and slipped from under the covers and stood up, making my way towards the shower. "Go and eat. I'm just going to shower." I told her as I turned the water on. I didn't even hear Alice move but sure enough she was right next me, naked and my eyes were having a hard time focusing.

"How did you know I was hungry?" She questioned with a confused expression. I let out a small laugh and pecked her lips before pulling away. "We had sex. You've explained that just kissing me drives you insane, I can guess how last night made you feel."

"It made me feel incredible Bella." Alice whispered to me with a smile. I blushed and turned my head away. I had no idea what I was doing last night at all yet I guess it was good. Alice slipped her arms around my waist and placed a kiss on my shoulder.

"It was incredible for me too." I told her as I turned in her arms, "But you need to eat before we go any farther alright?"

There was a blank look on her face and I knew what she was experiencing. My heart stopped as I waited in fear. What if Charles had decided to come after Alice? Or worse. Alice came back to me and smiled, "They've left. Charles had decided to have them return to the South. We can go home baby."

I frowned a little. I didn't mean to but I did. Going home would mean leaving this, leaving waking up naked in Alice's arms. Charlie didn't know we were married yet and I planned to tell him but he just got me back, I don't think he was so keen on losing my so quickly again.

"Bella, honey that's a good thing." Alice said cupping my cheeks. I nodded and inhaled, looking up into her dark eyes again. "No Al, I know, I'm just a little bummed you know."

"Bummed to be going home?"

"Bummed that I don't get to wake up naked in your arms for like a whole week."

"Ah, well, you win." She said laughing as she offered me a kiss to make me feel better. I pulled myself away before we got carried away and I ended up laughing.

"Okay, okay. I'm going." Alice said with a little growl that caused me to laugh. I watched her walk towards the window and waited for her to leave before I climbed into the shower. I allowed the hot water to run and hit my skin and I shivered at the contrast from what had been on my skin, Alice. I steadied myself against the wall as the emotion of everything suddenly hit and I realized what had happened. Alice was my wife. I was married. It was, God, it was something that I just couldn't describe.

The tears rolled down my cheeks as the water rushed over my body. I took a few moments to get myself together before I proceeded with my shower and cleaned myself. I shut the water off and stepped from the shower, wrapping the towel around my body and headed back into the room. From the bedside table I picked up my phone and sighed as I saw eighteen missed calls, all from Jacob. I just couldn't face him yet, he wouldn't understand I was doing any of this.

By the time I had gotten dressed again and was finishing packing, Alice had slipped back into the room. There was that smile and warmth that always appeared when she was around me that had come back. Grabbing the suitcase from me, she held it in one hand and offered her free one to me, "Ready to go home?"
