My Auctioned Human Bride

Chapter 6

Colter's POV

 "Mon amour?" I called.

She left me alone in the washroom to dress, I expected to see her waiting for me, but she was nowhere to be seen making me nervous. Where was she? Is she okay? I quieted my mind taking a deep breathing and opening my senses, she was still in the house her scent is strong. But where I wondered and then I heard the flipping of pages coming from the room I locked her in last night, I quickly went to the door turning the handle, but it was locked. I knock lightly waiting for her to respond and nothing, so I knocked again.

"Mon amaur?" I called again, no reply. "Rosalie? Please open the door."

"Go away." She called.

“Please let me in… What is wrong?" I pleaded with her.

"No. Go away!" she screamed.

This hurt, it hurt to my soul and I felt defeted as I walked away from the door with my head hung low. As I made my way back to my office, I stepped inside shutting and locking the door. If she did not want me, I could not force it. I sat in my chair and leaned back staring off into the distance letting my mind go blank when my cell phone rang.

"Hello." I said in a clipped tone.

"My brother, how are you?" Cameron asked.

"No well." I confessed.

"What is it?" He asked with concern.

"She has shut me out." I said shaking my head.

"What happened?" he asked me.

"I explained my feelings and hopes, she ran from me and locked herself in a room." I explained.

"I am sorry Brother; she will come around I have faith in that." he said with confidence.

"This is why I do not allow my feelings to be seen, I much rather have the stigma of hard and cold" I said.

"Brother you cannot give up yet." he said.

"But I can." I said. "I need to go, I have work to do."

"I will see you tomorrow night brother." he said before the line went dead.

I turned the monitor on and looked at the screen showing me Rosalie sleeping on the bed with her favorite book clutched her chest. She only had a thin blanket to cover her and it was a cold night. I got up and went to the room pushing the door open breaking the locks. I went to her side and scooped her into my arms cradling her close to my chest as I made my way into out bedroom where I laid her down in the bed covering her, she will be warm and comfortable here. I left the room shutting the door before making my way downstairs to the living room area where I was to sleep until she was comfortable enough having me in the same bed as her again.

Rosalie POV

 I woke up in a different bed, in a different room and I was alone. Sitting up I started looking around to find myself in the room his referred to as "ours”, but he did not sleep here. I got out of bed making my way out to the hallways, his office was empty and so was the room with the red door, so I walked downstairs to find him fast asleep on the sofa. He was too big for it though, his body took up the whole thing and his legs hung over the arm rest, it made me smile. I walked over and laid myself on top of him resting my head on his chest and my hands on his sides. I could feel him adjust himself before his arms can around me holding me to him tightly as he released a pent-up breath.

"I missed your touch." I whispered.

"I missed yours too Mon amour." He replied as he baried his head into my hair. "Did you sleep well?"

"No, I still feel tired, you?" I asked.

"No. I wanted to stay by your side, but you were angry with me." He said in a sad voice.

"I was never angry, I am scared." I replied. "All of this is so new; we have only been together for a few days and it feels as if I have known you my whole life."

"I understand." He replied as he ran his fingers through my hair. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Just be patient with me." I replied closing my eyes. "Am I hurting you?"

"No." he laughed

"Okay." I smiled. "What are we doing today?"

"We have the ball this evening, so I have some women coming over to help you get dressed, Misty has also instructed Cameron and I to leave before you and her." He said annoyed.

"I want my outfit to be a surprise." I said.

"I know mon amour." he said softly. "I just do not want you harmed, or away from me."

"I know, it will be okay. We will be right behind you." I replied trying to comfort him.

"What time is it?" He asked.

"I don’t know the sun is already up thought." I said snuggling into him more.

"We have to get up, they will be here soon." He said even though he tightened his grip around me.

"A little longer." I said.

"A little longer." He agreed.

Laying in his arms not only made me feel safe, but it was comforting, a place I never wanted to leave and when I did leave it was a place I longed for. I couldn’t tell you why I felt this way for someone I was still getting to know, someone who purchased me but I was grateful this is what I was given verses a terrible painful life with another vampire who only regarded me as food. We spent the morning wrapped around each other sleeping on and off before someone came knocking at the door starting in Colter so badly he jumped off the sofa with me tightly wrapped in his arms, his breathing was havey and his eyes black and his fangs were showing under his snarl. I looked over to see Cameron and Misty walking through the front door, Cameron looked up putting Misty behind him.

"Brother it is only us." He said calmly.

But Colter was not relaxing, I looked up at him taking his face in my hands and forcing his face to look at mine.

"Shh, it is okay." I whispered. "We are okay."

"I am sorry mon amour." He said softly.

"Don’t be sorry for protecting me." I smiled.

He leaned hid face down to mine kissing me gently before placing me on my feet. His eyes went back to normal as well as his breathing, his face relaxed and he released me standing up straight.

"Forgive me my brother." He said to Cameron.

"It is alright." Cameron said with a smile.

"We feel asleep on the sofa, this is my fault." I said to them with a bashful smile.

"It is quite alright Rose." Cameron replied. "I am here to drop off my mate and to pick up my brother so you ladies can get ready."

"Thank you." I said, "Are you ready?"

"No." He said through his teeth.

 I turned towards him hugging him tightly looking up at him with a soft smile. He returned my hug and leaned down to place another kiss to my lips. He let me go reluctantly and went to fetch his tux from the closet, I added a red bow tie that was made from the extra material of my dress in his bag. I thought it would be a nice little surprise for him when he saw it.

"Are you ready brother?" Cameron asked.

"No." He replied kissing me again before they left. "I will see you soon mon amour."

"I'll be the one in red." I winked at him as the door closed.

I turned and looked at Misty who had that shocked confused look on her face, I walked into the kitchen to make some coffee before the hairdresser and makeup artist Colter setup came. Misty followed closely behind me wanting to say something.

"Would you like some coffee?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said as she slid onto one of the stools. "Are we going to talk about what just happened?"

"What?" I asked trying to play dumb.

"Colter, he is so ummm…" she said thinking.

"Protective?" I asked.

"Well yes that but he's also so possessive." She replied taking the coffee mug I was handing her.

"He is." I agreed taking a sip of mine.

"That doesn’t bother you?" She asked.

"No, I'd rather him be the way he is verses not caring all together." I said.

"True, but even Cameron isn't that possessive."  She said.

"Colter is different than the others." I said shrugging my shoulders

"As long as you are okay." She replied. "Cameron wants to turn me."

"Colter does as well." I said looking down.

"Does that not make you happy?" She asked confused. "I can't wait to be like him, to spend all of eternity by his side."

"I do not know how it makes me feel to be honest with you." I replied.

"Well hopefully you choose to stay with him." She said sliding off the stool.

A loud knock echoed through the house making me jump and Misty roll her eyes at me, she placed her mug down and went to answer. I could hear excited talking as feet shuffled in and the door closed. I refilled my coffee and made my way out to the noise; I turned the corner to see six people standing there smiling at me.

"Are we ready to start?" One lady asked.

"Yes!" Misty said as she grabbed my arm dragging me up the stairs towards the bedroom, I saw his office door was still open so I freed myself to close and lock the door, I didn’t want anyone in there looking through his personal items. Then I made my way into the bedroom where all the ladies were setting up and Misty was hanging our gowns up. I was instructed to sit down so they could begin. I got my hair done in a lose bun with curls cascading around it, my make-up was natural all, but my cherry red lips and my fingers and toes were painted with the same cherry red color. Once they finished I went into the closet getting the lace pantie and garter set I got the other day on, I pulled the silk stockings up and clipped them into place before stepping into my gown pulling it on, than I got my shoes. I walked out and saw faces drop eyes grow wide and breathes being sucked in.

"Holy s**t Rosie." Misty said.

"You look amazing Misty!" I said, she is wearing a blue sparkly floor length gown with a large slit up the side, it hugged her body like a glove and brought out her eyes.

"No, Rosalie you look incredible." She said staring at me.

"We were instructed to give these to you." A woman said handing Misty and I a box.

I sat mine down on the bed and pulled the card out reading that first. It read "For my Love." I smiled and set it aside opening the box reveling a stunning black diamond necklace and a matching bracelet. I smiled taking them from their resting place to put them on before slipping my feet into my high heels.

"The car is outside waiting ladies." The women said as they all gathered their things.

 I grabbed my purse and we left, I locked the door behind us and climbed into to the limo behind Misty who was so excited I thought she is pop out of her skin. It took about 15 minutes to get to the castle. Once we were there a man opened the door and I watched as Misty got out and waited for me to join her. We walked up a red velvet carpet towards the entrance and then inside to a staircase leading down, I spotted Colter who looked on edge staring at the bottom of the staircase waiting for me. I left Misty go first Cameron could not keep his eyes off Misty, once she was in front of him, he took her hand and lead her to the side to wait for me and Colter. It was my turn and I was so nervous; I took a deep breath as I walked down the stairs. Colter eyes went wide and dark as soon as he saw me, his breathing became heavy. He took a few steps forward holding his hand out to me when I got to the last step, I took his hand and he pulled me into his grasp wrapping his arms around me and kissing me deeply, almost needy like, it took my breath away. He pulled back and smiled at me.

"You look beautiful my love, stunning." He said with pride.

"I am happy you like it." I smiled "Your tie is made from my dress."

"Is it?" He said as he placed his fingers to it. "Thank you, Mon amour."

"Don't thank me yet." I smiled. He looked at me confused so I leaned into to his ear "Wait until you see what is under this."

He growled pulling me into him more and the wicked smile that excited me spread across his face. I winked at him before kissing him and taking his hand.

"You are Mine." He whispered into my ear sending waves of heat straight to my core.
