Well, damn! I just don’t want to talk about her right now. I want to yell, push away, hell, shoot something but, after what happened, he deserves to know. Silently I take Edwards hand and lead him to a bench.
“Well, you know that I killed her, right?”
I glance at him as he squeezes my hand but I look back to the water quickly. Deep breath.
“Ok. Gone but not forgotten is not just a saying to the werewolves. They eat their dead so the power is not lost. The worst thing that can be done to a werewolf is to be left out, sort of excommunicated from the pack. So, when they are consumed, the soul, for want of a better word, joins the munin. The munin help the pack in a lot of different ways and they can channel the munin for specific things. Raina was a healer. I know, I know. Don’t give me that look. She was a very sick bitch who caused more damage than she ever healed but she did have that power. And still does. As you also know, I’m a necromancer. It seems that I have power over more than just zombies. I have a relationship with all different forms of the dead. The munin, a form of dead spirits, like me. It’s a very long and complicated story about how I learned this, but they do. Raina is part of the munin and, when I channeled them the first time, she decided to take up residence in my body. It’s just like her to get her kicks out of making me, the one who killed her, do things that I would never do. I’ve had to work very hard to be able to control Raina so she doesn’t come out and play whenever she wants. You’ve seen her in action so you know why I fight her so hard. I haven’t asked Raina for anything in a long time because I can usually guarantee that she wants more from me than I’m willing to give. Hell, channeling her to begin with is more than I’m willing to give. I’m not even supposed to be able to channel the munin at all. They keep saying, ‘…but you’re human’. I guess I’m full of surprises. First I get to surprise Richard with this little gift of Raina and then I get to surprise Jean-Claude with the little gift of the ardeur.”
There. Done. Glad it’s over with I look at Edward to gauge his reaction and he just stares into my eyes.
“Are there going to be any other surprises from you?”
I pull away and tick the list off on my fingers.
“Let’s see. Munin? Check. Ardeur? Check. Able to speak with Jean-Claude and Richard mentally? Check. Able to sense Damian and Nathaniel? Check. Increased strength, faster healing and speedier reflexes? Check. Nope. That covers it. Although you never know, something new could always just pop up.”
Edward takes my sarcasm in stride and just absorbs the information. Now here’s the kicker.
“Umm, Edward?”
He grunts in response. I blush and take a deep breath.
“I may need to feed the ardeur again tonight.”
I turn my attention to the lake as my face flushes hotter. As if it’s not bad enough that I had to feed on him yesterday. Now, since I had to fight Raina so hard, I just don’t trust my control. I feel Edward’s arm on my shoulder and lean against him, the strength of his chest comforting me. I lay my head back on him and he wraps his arms around me. Anyone walking by would have thought we were a couple. The thought makes me sad and I pull away abruptly.
“I’m going to go check on my family. I’ll see you later.”
Walking away as fast as my pride allows, I walk over to my family. Bernardo and Josh are playing catch by the woods. I smile at Josh and walk over to him when he waves at me. He meets me half way and I ruffle his hair with my fingers.
“Nita!”
My smile gets larger as he starts fixing it. The way he fawns over his hair you’d think that he was a teenage girl. I pull him into a tight hug. He tenses and then relaxes. I guess even he can tell that I need to hold him. Pulling back before he got too embarrassed I look into his face. The maturity I see reflected there brings tears to my eyes. He looks so grown up, I can hardly believe it. Swallowing the lump in my throat I look over at Bernardo. He had made his way over to my father. Nice to see someone respects privacy around here. I link arms with Josh as we approach the picnic table.
“Hey dad, I know a lot has happened. I just hope one day you’ll be able to forgive me.”
My dad looks up at me, still slightly dazed.
“I love you Anita. Don’t worry. We’ll get through this.”
He turns toward Judith and squeezes her hand. The look she gives him is enough to make me want to cry. I excuse myself and leave. Halfway to my cabin, Edward catches me in his arms. I so don’t need or want him to see me with tears streaming down my face. I yank myself from his embrace and run into the cabin. The funny thing about sharing a room with someone is they have a key to it as well. Not that keys matter to Edward but you see my point. He had followed close on my heels but I just couldn’t care anymore. Throwing myself down on the bed I started sobbing uncontrollably. I felt Edward gather me into his embrace and, as usual, my first instinct is to resist. Fuck it. He doesn’t say anything. He just lets me lean into him and cry. I cried until my head felt like it was going to explode. I cried until I started to heave from lack of air. Edward just rocked me in his arms, whispered soothing words in my ear and kept rubbing my back. Eventually my weeping subsided and I was embarrassed. It’s bad enough when I cry by myself but to have an audience? Fuck! I start to pull away gently and avert my gaze. Edward leans forward and captures my mouth with a searing kiss, stopping my movement. I respond without hesitation. His tongue plunges into my mouth and I throw my arms around his neck to pull him tight against me. The feel of his lips moving on mine wipe my mind of any thought. He lingers on the kiss and runs his hands up my back to grip my hair. Gasping at the pressure he pulls away to nibble on my neck. I arch into his touch and hear a knock. We both go still at the noise. Knock, knock. So it is real. We disentangle ourselves from each other and Edward goes to answer the door as I straighten myself out.
“Who’s there?”
“It’s Josh. I just want to know if Anita is all right.”
I nod and Edward opens the door to let him in. Seeing Josh’s face so full of concern makes me want to cry all over again. I give him a weak smile and wave him into the room. He sits beside me and awkwardly wraps me in his arms. He pulls my head against his shoulder and pats my back reassuringly.
“It’ll be ok Anita. Don’t worry.”
I can’t help but smile at his assurances. How cute is he comforting his big sister? I look over at Edward who is holding back a grin. His eyes dance with laughter at my brother holding me. I pull away from the hug.
“Thanks buddy. I needed that.”
“I have to get back to mom and dad. They wanted me to tell you that we were all eating dinner together. No arguments. They want to get to know your fiancé.”
He looks over at Edward and than back to me.
“By the way, Bernardo is great. He’s a lot of fun.”
Josh smiles at me and gets up. As he reaches the door he turns to Edward.
“If you hurt my sister, I’ll kill you.”
Oh shit! He did not just say that to Edward. I look over and see Josh and Edward toe to toe. Josh may have had height on him but I knew who would win in a fight. No contest. To my relief Edward gives Josh a lopsided grin.
“If I ever hurt your sister, I’ll let you.”
Josh left and Edward came back over to me.
“Close your mouth Anita.”
I snap my jaw shut. What the fuck just happened? Did I miss something? I lay back on the bed, exhausted by what had just transpired. The feel of Edward sprawling over me has my body heating. I open my eyes to see him hovering over me, running his eyes all around my face as if to take in every feature. As he notices my attention he lowers himself to kiss me. I place a hand on his mouth before he actually touches my lips.
“I don’t need to feed the ardeur tonight. We don’t have to do this.”
Edward pulls his head back away from my touch.
“Do you want to?”
I shake my head as he sucks my finger between his lips and nibbles the tip. Ok, so not fair. I pull my hand shakily away and he runs his tongue up my neck and around my ear. As he nibbles the lobe I groan and grab a hold of his belt buckles. Pulling his hips into mine I gasp at the feel of his hardness pressing into me. He whispers in my ear.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
He chuckles under his breath. Bastard! Taking matters into my own hands I run my fingers along the waistband of his jeans. Look who’s not laughing now. I smile up at him and run my tongue over my lips.
“I was considering it for a moment and then you started to laugh. I guess I’ll have to find satisfaction elsewhere.”
He pinned me beneath him on the bed and stripped me of my clothes. I can’t even tell how he got them off of me without ripping them. Damn the man has talent! His hands were caressing me everywhere. My skin tightened in response to his treatment. I blinked and he was naked too. The feel of his skin next to mine was too much to bear. It made me dig my nails into his back as he ran teasing fingers along the length of me.
“Edward!”
His tongue followed the trail of his hands but always stopped just short of my vagina. The tension built until I felt I would split apart. Biting his shoulder hard I come with him barely touching me. He came up my body to kiss me. My eyes met his as he pulled back.
“You’re always so responsive.”
My breath catches in my throat at his expression as he says that. I know Edward loves me but I never imagined this. He caresses my face and maintains eye contact as he penetrates me, inch by inch. It was too much on top of everything. My hips counteracted his motions and he slid deep. We both moan as he thrusts faster. I thought the headboard would break at the intensity in which we were moving the bed. I scream my release as Edward thrust deep one last time. We lay side by side for awhile just listening to each others heart beats. Knowing that we still have to put an appearance in for dinner, we reluctantly pull ourselves from bed.
‘It’s not like this is a honeymoon.’
I so did not just think that. As we dress, there is another knock on the door. Smiling at Edward as my body quivers with remembered sensations I ask who is at the door.
“It’s Bernardo.”
I open the door to find him franticly trying to look past me into the room. Before I can ask him what’s wrong he stops the words in my throat.
“Is Josh here? Have you seen him?”
