Chapter 12 Heaven Part 2


Here's the latest chapter... hope you don't mind I was in the mood for a little citrus!

Chapter 12 Heaven Part 2
Bella POV (changes later on)

As soon as I arrived at Heaven, my pulse quickened and my palms began to sweat. This behavior was completely alien to me; I had no idea why this man had such an effect on me. When he had returned my text and told me he was at a nightclub, I was green with jealousy and red with anger. I knew it hadn't been that long since I'd left him but I longed for him in a way I never dreamt possible. ‘No one else’, the last words I spoke to him. The words rang in my head over and over again.

The TOPS of your breasts are beautiful from where I stand. I'll make you cum with more than my hand. ~E~

As soon I read the message I began searching, he had teased me enough; I was going insane. I wanted to wrap my legs around him and claim every inch of him, mine. Finally laying my eyes on him, I smiled up at him and bit my lip so hard I thought I might draw blood. I mouthed the word "hi", the relief I felt from just laying eyes on him was astonishing. He mouthed "hi" back and held up a finger to let me know he was on his way. He stepped away from the balcony, and spoke to a woman. A suspicious feeling came over me when I saw him kiss her on the cheek. Had he broken his word already?

I forced myself to leave the bar and made my way to the bathroom; I had to get myself under control. I felt weak and angry with myself for letting a man get to me this way. I didn't need this; I didn't need him, I could have any man I wanted. Why was Edward having this effect on me? I needed to find out if he longed for me as much as I did him. I wouldn't let him have the upper hand anymore. It was my turn. Just then, my phone buzzed.

Gorgeous where did you go? ~E~

I smiled after reading the text, thankful that he seemed as impatient as I had been. Taking a deep breath, I decided to find out exactly how much.
Exiting the bathroom, I found a practically empty booth. I asked the women sitting there if I might join them and told them I was waiting for a friend. The cocktail waitress came by and I ordered them a round of drinks to show my thanks. I quickly text him back knowing exactly what I needed to do.

Absence makes the loins grow harder. It’s time for you to know what it feels like to be watched. Green is definitely your color. ~B~

I watched him get the message. His lips pursed in a line and I longed to drag my tongue over them. Then his eyebrows creased and I wanted to touch every inch of his face. He looked around for a second and then quickly responded.

The longer you hide from me. The less time I have to make you scream. ~E~

I smiled and responded back.

The longer you search the wetter I get. Good thing I'm not wearing any panties, they'd be drenched. ~B~

Watching him; he gritted his teeth, gnawed at his lip and ran his fingers through his copper hair for the millionth time.

Stop fucking with me Bella. Show yourself and I'll fuck you before we even have a chance to leave this club. ~E~

I practically choked on my drink reading those delicious words. Where did he think he could take me? All of a sudden, I realized I didn't care as long he meant it; the anticipation was driving me insane. Nevertheless, I had to know just one thing.

No one else? ~B~

I watched him read it and then he smiled that sublime half smile that makes me quiver from the inside out. I had my response in no time.

Edward POV

She was driving me lit' rally bonkers. Yeah you heard right, bonkers. I don't know how else to describe it. I felt out of my skin, as if I was losing my ability to function. She was still here, I felt her presence, but why was she hiding from me?

No one else? ~B~

There, I had my answer. She wanted to know that I had kept my word. How could I have not, she is who I coveted more than any other woman before her.

No one else Bella. Where are you? ~E~

I responded, hoping that she'd see that I wanted only her. I started to fear that she had given up on me, thinking that I didn’t desire her like I did. I ran my fingers through my hair repeatedly trying to resign myself that she had left. This was the end; it was over before it even really began.

"Right behind you Edward," said the most delicious voice. I could feel her hot breath on the back of my neck or I wouldn’t have believed she was there. The feeling that she was right behind me went directly to my already straining member. Turning to face her, I grabbed her by the hips and pressed myself into her.

"No one else Bella," I said looking directly into her eyes. "You do this to me, only you."

"Edward," she whispered as I leaned into kiss her firmly on the lips. In no time at all before we both deepened the kiss. Our tongues moved languidly together, she tasted sweet and spicy. I kissed her to show her that I meant what I said; she was the only one I thirsted for.

"Come with me," I said unwillingly pulling my lips away from hers. I placed several chaste kisses down her body; lingering on her neck, shoulder, arms and finally fingers. She giggled and simply smiled at me. Seeking out the only person in the club who would understand what I required right then, I led Bella up the stairs where I had previously been.

"I see you found her," Sarah said as I approached her. The look on Sarah’s face told me she could see right through me. She already knew the effect this woman was having on me, the difference she had made.

"Yes," I said pulling Bella impossibly closer to me, needing to feel the warmth of her body. "Bella this is Sarah, she owns the club."

"Pleasure to meet you Sarah; you have a lovely establishment here,” Bella said reaching out her hand to shake Sarah's.

"Thank you," Sarah said shaking Bella's hand in return. "I have to say that I am a huge fan of yours. I love your company's products."

"Thank you, that's very kind of you," Bella said. The silence didn't last long but it felt like an eternity; awkward didn't begin to cover it. I thought I should say something to break the tension; I had no idea what Bella thought Sarah and I were.

"Oh how rude of me, Bella let me introduce my man, this is Jared my fiancé," Sarah said breaking the silence just in time. "Jared this Bella, she owns L&L."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Bella," Jared said shaking her hand. "Actually I work for Black Advertising; we're in negotiations to acquire your future launch campaign."

"Small world," Bella said. "Can't say I know anything about that quite yet, it's a long ways till it reaches my desk..."

While Bella and Jared busied themselves with work talk, I leaned in to ask Sarah a favor. I intended to make good on what I had said to Bella earlier.

"Can I borrow the keys to your office?" I asked quietly.

"Really Edward," Sarah said winking at me. "That might be pushing it just a little." She discreetly handed the keys over; she knew what my intentions were. I smiled and thanked her; I for sure owed her for this. Sarah and I were friends now; she had Jared and I had Bella.

Bringing my attention back to Bella and Jared, I leaned down and lightly nuzzled Bella's soft delicious neck with my nose. I couldn't keep my hands off her anything longer. She sighed and leaned into my touch.

"Well Jared, I look forward to our paths crossing again," Bella said handing Jared a business card. "Call my office; I'll have James set something up."

"Thank you Bella that would be wonderful." Jared said taking the card and placing it in his pocket. "I'll let you two get back to your evening."

"It was a pleasure meeting you Bella," Sarah said smiling. "Edward, be sure to give her the complete tour."

"It was nice meeting you as well Sarah," Bella said as we stepped away.

"Come with me gorgeous," I said leaning down to kiss just below her ear. "I do believe I promised you something." Bella's face blushed crimson red and she lightly moaned sending chills through my body. She reached for my arm and I led the way.

"I don't even know that I care," she said breathing heavily. "But where are you taking me?"

"On a tour," I said sucking gently on her exposed collarbone. "Yes, a very private tour." I led her towards the opposite end of the balcony where there was a door marked 'Private', the door to stairs led to Sarah’s office. "I have friends in high places and as much as I'm willing to fuck you out here where everyone can see. I'd much rather keep your moans for myself. They belong to me after all." Her breathing hitched and she gripped my arm even tighter.

"Fuck Edward," she said moaning and leaning even closer to me. “Please.”

"Oh don't worry Bella," I said stroking her cheek. "I fully intend to do just that." I kissed her on the end of the nose, anxious to make good on my promise and wanting to make her come more than anything.

Bella POV

As we approached the door, Edward unlocked it and we stepped inside. I didn't have a clue where we were going but I think that just turned me on even more. Edward grasped my hand and led me up the staircase.

"Hold my hand Bella," Edward said gripping my small hand in his. "There's a light switch around here somewhere but I'm not sure where. We might have to wait till we get upstairs to see more than this."

The light of the moon outside shone through the very small windows above us, just lightly illuminating each of us in a tranquil glow.

We slowly made our way up the stairs; my heart pounded wildly in my chest and I shook uncontrollably. I wasn't scared; I was incredibly turned on. The arousal was seeping out of me and true to my word; I wasn't wearing anything to catch it.

"Don't be scared Bella," Edward said trading me places and then leaning in to kiss me lightly below the ear. "I won't let anything happen to you." He stepped down a few stairs to stare up at me, lightly skimming my arms with his hands. "You are breathtaking in this light."

I couldn't answer him. My heart beat faster. Licking my lips I slid my hand down to touch my breast, my finger rubbing over my nipple as I felt my core get tingly, wetter, and excited.

He smiled a faint barely-there smile.

"I can't stay away from you any longer Bella," he said, his eyes were not on my face anymore. They watched my fingers as I rubbed myself; his eyes moved down to my pussy, then up to my face again.

"I'm glad," I said. "Touch me."

Instantly Edward reached out his hand and touched my pelvis, moaning lightly I rolled my head back. Already aching for his touch, instinctively I began to sway a bit, moving my hips and thighs in the way that stimulated my clit. Edward lifted up my dress and his hand moved between my legs, and his fingers found the bareness of my pussy. He let out a moan and I smiled down at him; then closed my eyes, sighing with the bliss I was feeling, and the bliss that I knew was to come.

Edward moved his hand so that his thumb was on my clit whilst his fingers went on stroking the length of my slit, never going deeper. His other hand went to the tie on the back of my halter dress to work it loose.

I put my middle finger in my mouth and licked it seductively; then put it inside my pussy, stroking myself deep like I so craved him to do. I could hear myself panting as I fingered myself while he stroked my clit. I was wet with desire, and I made that clear to him by taking my finger out and rubbing his lips with it. Then I leaned down to kiss those lips, and he let me lick the essence of myself off him.

Suddenly pushing me back up; shocking me a little with the almost violent abruptness of this movement.

"I don't want a tease," he growled licking his lips. "I want a taste."

"Fuck," I moaned uncontrollably.

He pushed my dress further up, long forgetting about the ties of my dress, for now. I grasped at the stair railings to keep from toppling over. This demanding forcefulness was something new; he hadn't acted like this before. I grew dizzy with excitement as he knelt down and separated my wetness to lap at my pussy.

His tongue was like no other, and the way he moved it around my clit, sucking and kissing my pussy turned me on beyond words. That tongue circling, flicking, and probing soon had me moaning loudly, I hoped that no one else could hear us. I gripped the railing tighter, gladly surrendering to whatever he wanted. I felt shackled to that spot for as long as he wanted me there; and that was just fine with me.

His fingers moved inside my pussy, first one, then two, as his tongue went to stroking my clit, which seemed to swell with need, craving more. My breath was heavy, the air thick with lust. Then his fingers moved out of my pussy and began to stroke my asshole. My moans and gasps became more frenzied as he brought me to the point of orgasm, and then stopped.

Thrown off guard by the abruptness of it, I looked at him with wild eyes and caught a look in his own eyes that I can only describe as pure sex. He was like an animal that has cornered his prey, and is waiting ravenously to devour her. Feeling the dominance of his desire, I whimpered a little. I was stunned and aroused by it even more intensely, I longed to be taken by him in any way he wanted.

He moved up another step and picked me up with his strong muscular arms.

"Turn around," he said gruffly, flipping me around like a rag doll. The way he set me down brought me to my knees on the stair below him, bent over. My ass was in his face and I could feel his breath on my skin, I could hear him too, breathing deeply and huskily as he placed his hands on my hips. I quivered when he touched my skin, and my hips started to move.

"Stay still," he commanded, and I felt his hands grab at my flesh, squeezing me where my ass curved into my hips. It was rough, and it excited me. I raised one hand to my breast, reaching inside my dress to pull hard on my nipple. In spite of myself, my pelvis began to rock again.

"I said be still!" Edward snapped.

It is usually difficult for me to be submissive, especially when I am turned on. I love expressive sex, and I like to flow with whatever I am feeling, losing myself in the moment and following my own instincts while relishing the pleasure. But this was different. Edward's strength and assertiveness were irresistible to me. I took my hand from my bra and put it back on the floor. I looked over my shoulder at him and saw him eying my crack with suck intensity that it shook me. He turned my head back around with his hand and began to kiss the back of my neck; something he knew turned me on. His hand found my pussy and he slid his fingers back and forth from my clit to my asshole, slowly and methodically, all the while kissing and nibbling the back of my neck.

"I'm going to take you now," Edward said firmly. "I want it, and you want it too." He pulled my head back slightly, kissing my neck, my ear, my chin. I was so hungry for him I couldn't wait. I turned my head to kiss him, and he allowed this boldness, kissing me deeply before abruptly ending the kiss and pushing my head forward. His strength overwhelmed me, and torrents of submissive pleasure seemed to lure me deeper into ecstasy.

Edward grabbed my ass hard with one hand, while the other moved to my breast, scissoring the nipple roughly. I panted under his grasp, startled and aroused to frenzy by the force he was displaying. I cried out that I wanted him to fuck me, but he said not yet.

He found my ass and he began to lick and kiss me, shoving me further forward so he could lick my whole crack all the way to my clit. His tongue traced my pussy lips back and forth. He sucked, nibbled, and thrust his tongue in and around until with a scream I came in his mouth. Never letting up he continued with his ministrations, I couldn't take much more of this. I needed his dick inside me.

"Fuck me now," I moaned out. "I want you to fuck me hard. Now!" I was trying to make it sound like a command, but it sounded more like I was begging. Which I was.

"Be quiet and be still," Edward ordered. I never thought I would like this kind of thing from anyone, but I loved his being imposing and superior. Hearing him undo his pants, I practically came again. I arched my back and felt my breast again, but he didn't stop me this time. Instead, he caressed the other one, and then pulled hard on my nipple. I could feel his dick against my thighs, and I loved the hardness of it. I wanted to turn around and suck him.

"Can I suck you?" I moaned. For an answer, he whipped me around, sitting me on the step, and got right up in my face, his dick slapping my cheek.

"Suck bitch."

I had never been called that before without socking the guy, but right now, that was what I wanted. I wanted it hard and forceful and rough, to be claimed completely by Edward. The way he had me pinned forced me to take him in my mouth without using my hands. I licked his gorgeous cock up and down; I licked his balls, kissed and licked his hidden inch between his balls and asshole. I heard him moan, and his excitement turned me on even more. I managed to free one hand but when I moved to touch him, he slapped it back down.

"Just suck," he demanded his voice thick with his authority.

I swallowed his dick, moaning around it as he pushed it all the way to my throat. He was holding on to the railing and thrusting as he fucked my face, and I was so turned on I couldn't get enough of it. I loved the taste of his pre-cum as it escaped into my mouth.

I felt so primal when I looked up at him and saw his eyes glittering with pure hunger. It was fiery, spicy and passionately wild. We were animals mating, and nothing mattered but our own steamy gratification.

He told me to turn again, and I did. My knees by now were a little tender from the hard stairs, but I was so turned on that who the hell cared about knees? I was wet, ready, and eager for him to enter me.

He grabbed my hips and thrust into me; deep, long, and hard; repeatedly. I lifted myself up a little on my hands, and he pushed me back down. I felt take by his power, and the desire throbbed inside me. I was his toy, and I gloried in it as he claimed me over and over, both of us moaning and groaning now. Soon I was crying out with each thrust as he fucked me harder than I had ever been fucked before.

"Fuck! Oh god, fuck!" I cried out as I began to climax, shouting it again and again. Edward shot into me a moment later, with a pulsing force that rocked me yet again.

He slumped over me on the stairs as the wetness leaked slowly from my center. He kissed my neck and gently stroked my hair. Our bodies hot and sweaty, we relaxed into the afterglow of our erotic pleasure.

A few minutes later, we finally separated; I heard Edward let out a small groan as he pulled out of me, and I felt the loss. When he was inside of me, I felt full almost complete somehow. I hadn't noticed until then but pain shot through my knees; the afterglow of my euphoria was wearing off, I could barely rise to my feet. I glanced down and saw the rough raw skin; I knew they would hurt much more later, but it was worth it and I would gladly do it again and soon.

Chapter 12 Heaven Part 2 Teaser



Okay... two hours and you can have the rest of it but here's something to get you...more anxious.

"On a tour," I said sucking gently on her exposed collarbone. "Yes, a very private tour." I led her towards the opposite end of the balcony where there was a door marked 'Private', the door to the stairs led to Sarah’s office. "I have friends in high places and as much as I'm willing to fuck you out here where everyone can see. I'd much rather keep your moans for myself. They belong to me after all." Her breathing hitched and she gripped my arm even tighter.
"Fuck Edward," she said moaning and leaning even closer to me. “Please.”


Don't hate me... two more hours and the rest will be yours. 1700 words of pure lemon just the way you've cum to expect from me. Ok... here's a little more I'm feeling giving.

I couldn't answer him. My heart beat faster. Licking my lips I slid my hand down to touch my breast, my finger rubbing over my nipple as I felt my core get tingly, wetter, and excited.
He smiled, a faint barely-there smile.
"I can't stay away from you any longer Bella," he said, his eyes were not on my face anymore. They watched my fingers as I rubbed myself; his eyes moved down to my pussy, then up to my face again.
"I'm glad," I said. "Touch me."


Thank you loyal readers!
Thanks to my beta of course.

Chapter 11... Heaven Part 1 All caught up!

Chapter 11... an evening with Emmett and a trip to Heaven. Surprised by a text from Bella, Edward invites her to join him. Let the games begin!

Chapter 11

Edward POV

It was about seven o'clock when I text Emmett and told him I was ready to meet up. I had spent the day running errands for my trip to Portland on Wednesday and working on my pretty lady. She was almost all fixed up and I couldn't wait to take her for a ride. Her sleek lines and curves were just begging me to climb on. Sure, I could spoil the grand plan and sneak her out for a test drive but I decided to wait until she was completely finished.

Emmet text me back and we made plans to meet up at Ballard Loft for some beer and pool at seven-thirty. It was April and slightly overcast with a permanent chance of torrential rain as usual, after all it is Seattle. Driving with my windows down and stereo blaring Kings of Leon as loud as it would go; I parked my Blazer in the parking lot across from Ballard's.I spotted Emmett sitting on the outside deck with his back against the black railing; of course, I couldn't resist sneaking up on him.

"How's it going fucko?" I said, lightly slapping him on the shoulder. He jumped and dropped one of the Sliders he was about to stuff in his pie hole.

"God damn it Edward," he yelled at me. "You made me drop food and you know how good these are."

"Sorry man, I couldn't resist," I said. I then nodded at the waitress that happened to spot me; Heidi always knew what I wanted, in more ways than one. Hopping over the railing, I took the empty seat across from Emmett.

"Why can't you use the door like everyone else?" Emmett asked crossing him massive arms over his chest.

"Because that's not how I roll and you know it," I said, winking at him. "Did you miss me?"

"Like a bad case of genital warts, looser," Emmett said rolling his eyes at me. I already noticed he was in a lot better mood than he was in earlier.

"You're mighty cheerful," I said wiggling my eyebrows at him. "Did you patch things up with the Mrs.?" Heidi walked up with my pint of Guinness and a plate of Sliders; they really are the best in the city and they smell mouthwatering. Before she even had a chance to set them down, Emmett had stolen one of them.

"Anything else Edward?" Heidi said, as she bent over giving me a perfect view of her perky breasts peeking out of her crimson top. I diverted my eyes immediately and shook my head. Heidi was one hot piece; I knew from experience and from the look I was getting, I could have a repeat if I wanted one. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away.

"Dude," Emmett said breaking me out of my Heidi induced daze. "Did you just pass up ass?"

"Huh," I said trying to ignore the question because I knew where it was leading. Bella. With her on my mind all day, I finally decided to just play it by ear and see what happens. I'd keep my word to her and prayed she would do the same. The thought of another mad touching her drove me insane. Shit, we hadn't even been apart twelve hours and I was already craving her. It wasn't as if Heidi didn't appeal to me, but Bella; Bella was quickly becoming like oxygen, something I couldn't live without. "Don't change the subject." I said trying to get Emmett to drop it and answer my original question.

"Fine," he said putting the entire tiny cheeseburger into his mouth at once. He quickly chewed it up and followed it with a large swig of beer; light beer but beer still beer, I suppose. "No but I think Rosie talking to Bella will help. So I'm very optimistic."

"Bella?" Trying to keep my voice as even as possible, it almost came out like a moan before I caught it. "How's Bella gonna help your marriage?"

"She's at my house tonight, she and Rosie are looking at wedding pictures, and I may or may not have mentioned to Bella that Rosie and I are having problems in the bedroom," he said it so fast that I almost didn't catch it all.

"And Bella is going to help with that how?" I asked.

"God, I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you," he said. "Just don't tell Rosie, she'd kill me if she knew I was telling you stuff like this."

"I'm not going to say anything to Rosalie Emmett," I said. "I thought Bella was sweet and innocent."

"Yeah right," he said kind of chuckling to himself. "She's far from that. She just doesn't advertise it like some people. Rosie doesn't even know, none of her family does for that matter."

"Are you referring to anyone in particular?" I said knowing he was talking about me but I preferred to play dumb. I wasn't ashamed, so why hide it.

"Whatever Doucheward," Emmett said. "Anyways I told Bella and she said she'd say something to Rosie, so I guess we'll see what happens."

"Hope it helps dude," I said meaning it sincerely, because at the end of the day he didn't deserve to be unhappy.

"Thanks, but now it's your turn," he said raising one eyebrow. "Dude, Heidi?" I turned my head to see what he was staring at, there was Heidi across the deck, she must've heard Emmett or just sensed that he was talking about her because she looked up and smiled seductively.

"What about her Emmett?" I said looking back at Emmett and any direction but in hers. "She's great, but I'm just not interested."

"Bullshit," he said practically screaming at me in a hushed whisper. "You told me once that she was the best piece you'd had."

"She was," I said. "But..." he didn't let me continue.

"The houseguest?" Emmett said raising his eyebrows. I nodded.

"As she left, she said 'no one else', and I agreed," I told him, shrugging trying to make it seem like it was no big deal, even though it is and Emmett knows it.

"Wow dude," he said nodding his head. "You didn't mention this before at the court?"

"It didn't come up," I said running my hand through my hair, something I'm told I do a lot when I'm nervous.

"Well good luck with that," he said smiling. "I hope it turns out the way you want it to."

"Thanks," I said. "Ok enough of this woman talk, let's go inside and play some pool."

Three hours later of me whopping Emmett countless times at pool, we had made our way to the downstairs bar and were finishing another round. Emmett reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

"Shit," he said putting his phone into his pocket. "It's half past ten, I better make my way home and see if the coast is clear. I miss my wife."

"If I didn't know better I would say you're trying to bail out on me," I said. "It's Saturday night Emmett, let's go to Heaven." Heaven was the nightclub that Emmett and I used to frequent; well I still frequented it but he doesn't, it's where he met Rosalie.

"Heaven no way man, Rosie would kill me if she knew I went there without her," he said holding up his left hand. "Married man, remember?"

"No worries man, I was just giving you shit," I said patting him on the shoulder. "I know you are anxious to go see if Bella cleared the storm for you." Bella, just saying her name made my pulse race and the thought of seeing her made my skin ache.

"Yeah I am," Emmett said making his way to the door. "I'm sick of sleeping on the couch." I laughed aloud, which was probably a mean thing to do, but picturing Emmett on the couch for wanting a better sex life with his wife makes me laugh.

We made our way outside and walked across the street to where both of us had parked. Ballard's was pretty full by then so the parking lot was packed.

"If I don't talk to you this week Edward; good luck in Portland and basketball next Saturday at the courts as usual," he said smiling. "Be there or I'll come looking for you again." I rolled my eyes at him, because Emmett is just stupid sometimes, this wasn't one of those time but I didn't want him to know that I was hoping I'd be with her again.

"Thanks and I'll be there," I said turning to get into my truck. Emmet climbed into his Jeep and I waved at him, before he sped off. I quickly decided that I wasn't going home because all I'd end up doing was driving myself crazy thinking about Bella, she was everywhere in my apartment. I had vivid memories from last night in every inch of my apartment; her presence lingered. I made a decision to go grab a cab to Heaven cause there was no way I was leaving my car there; Ballard's was closer to my place than Heaven. I headed across the street and called Yellow Cab; they told me fifteen minutes so I went inside for another drink.

Thirty minutes later, the cab pulled up to Heaven; luckily, I had decided to dress smart casual thanks to my new wardrobe from Alice. I hate that she went overboard, but I have to admit it was nice to have some new clothes to choose from. I had on some dark wash jeans and a deep green button up; Alice said it would bring out my eyes, whatever that meant.

Stepping up to the club Garrett waved me past the crowd; like I said I frequented this place a lot.

"Hey Edward," Garrett said. "It's been awhile, Sarah will be happy to see you. She's in the VIP Lounge, I'll radio up and have them put you on the list."

"Thanks Garrett," I said patting him on the back. "Come up and let me buy you a drink when you get off." He nodded and I made my way inside.

Heaven is a big club with several levels, all with different kinds of music. The first level is brightly lit with generic top forty music playing. If you've never been there, you stop here because it feels comfortable. The second has louder, darker and always more crowded. It's the level where most of the dancing takes place. The third level is the VIP Lounge; which is the only level I hang out in, especially if the owner Sarah is there. We had a thing once upon a time but now we are just friends; we both know we are better off as just that. She passes through men like I pass through women, or like I used to up until I met Bella.

After being stopped several time on my way up I finally had to tell one girl that I was allergic to vaginas just so that she would leave me alone.

The VIP Lounge is a completely different experience from the rest of the club. It's relaxing; there's music and dancing but it's just less crowded and more intimate. The seating area goes all the way around the room; plush benches line the walls joined with tables and simple black chairs. The bar sits in the middle of one side and the dance floor is in the middle of the other. You can access the bar from any point in the room, which is a positive any way you look at it.

Making my way over to the bar Stefan noticed me.

"Hey Edward," he said already fixing my Jameson. "Glad to see your back."

"Thanks Stefan," I handed him a twenty, he placed it is his tip jar since I never pay for drinks; Sarah sees to that. She told me once when I made it big and owned my own company she would charge me, but not until then. "Do you know where Sarah is?"

"Not exactly sure Edward," he said starting to fix someone else drink. "I'm sure she's around here somewhere." I nodded and relaxed against the bar; taking a pull from my drink, letting the delicious liquid burn down my throat.

"Edward," a female voice purred in my ear, which I knew, was Sarah instantly. "I missed you." I turned to face her and she looked absolutely stunning. She was wearing a blue strapless dress, which hugged her body in all the right places; the color caused the blue rings around her green eyes to pop. Her brown hair was loosely resting on her shoulders that were lightly dusted with glitter that smelled like cotton candy. From my past with her, I knew it tasted like that as well.

"Sarah," I said reaching up to cup her cheek in my hand. "I missed you as well. How are you?" I quickly swooped in and placed a chaste kiss to the side of her lips. She surprised me by darting her tongue out to lick my bottom lip.

"Good. Better now that you are here," she said leaning into capture my lips. She gingerly placed her lips on mine; and just when I thought she was going to deepen the kiss, she giggled against my lips. "Too easy."

"For you," I said winking at her. "Always." She threw he head back and laughed loudly. She got Stefan's attention and motioned for more drinks for both of us.

"Let's take these to my table," she said handing over my fresh drink. "There's someone I'd like you to meet." I quirked an eyebrow at her and she just smiled.

Once we made it to Sarah's table, I settled in and looked around. Her table was on the only balcony and it over looked the bar and dance floor. There was a door in the corner leading to her private office, which I had visited several times in the past.

"Edward," Sarah said getting my attention. "I'd like you to meet my fiancé Jared." I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Jared this is Edward, a good friend."

"Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you," Jared said reaching out his hand.

"Likewise Jared," I said shaking his hand. "So, how long have you two been engaged?"

"Two weeks," Jared said releasing my hand and placing his on Sarah's thigh. "Sarah proposed and I accepted of course." Sarah had turned her attention back to us.

"You proposed Sarah?" I said. "The girl who said she'd never be tied down."

"Yes," she said. "I guess when you know you know. Even if you never thought it could happen." She turned to smile at Jared leaning in to kiss him lightly on the lips.

"How... when did you meet?" I asked pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Through Addie one of my partners in the club, 3 months ago," Sarah said smiling at Jared and then looking at me.

"Well congratulations," I said holding up my drink. "I sincerely wish you both the best."

"Thank you Edward, that means a lot coming from you." Sarah said smiling and joining in my toast. Jared nodded and lifted his glass as well. He seemed like a decent person, and Sarah seemed happy so who was I to disagree with that.

I felt the familiar buzz of my phone in my pocket and pulled it out to see who it could be. My breath caught in my throat when I saw who the text was from. Bella.

Edward, Is it Tuesday yet? I could use some company if you're interested. No one else. ~Bella~

I couldn't believe that she was texting me; we hadn't been apart twenty-four hours and she already wanted to see me. Those words stared at me and I couldn't help but smile.

"Must be someone good," Sarah said pulling my attention away from the message. "Anyone who can make Edward Masen smile like that must be special." All I could do was nod before my attention went back to the message. I decided to invite her to join me.

Bella, We can pretend if you want. I'm in Heaven. Care to join me? No one else. ~Edward~

Not even two minutes later I had my answer.

With you is heaven. ;) I'll be there in 10. ~Bella~

I quickly sent back my reply.

VIP angel. ;) I'll get you on the list. ~Edward~

"Sarah," I said. "Do you think you can...?" I didn't even get a chance to finish.

"What's her name?" Sarah said. "I'll call it in."

"Bella, Bella Swan." I said smiling again as soon as her name fell from my lips.

"Bella Swan?" Sarah asked. "As in CEO of L&L?" I smiled nodding. She picked up her cell phone and made a quick call to add Bella's name to the list.

"One in the same," I added. "And don't ask please, it's all very new." Sarah put up her hands as if she was surrendering.

"Wasn't going to," she said placing her hand on my knee. "You know me I don't push." My attention was grabbed once again by the buzzing of my phone. My pulse started to race, my hands started to sweat and I hadn't even looked at the message yet.

Just pulled up. Looking forward to seeing you. Soon. ~Bella~

I quickly typed back my response, wanting her to know that I knew she was here.

Soon. ~Edward~

Excusing myself from the table, I picked up my drink and went to the rail on the balcony. Like a hawk, I watched the door to the VIP Lounge, waiting for her to walk through it. Wanting to see her the minute she walked in, so that I didn't miss a second of her presence. I had been craving her ever since she left this morning and the thought that I just might get to touch her again was driving me lit 'rally insane. Reaching into my drink; I pulled out my stir stick and placed it in the corner of my mouth trying to distract myself; failing miserably.

It was as if the room became brighter as soon as she stepped inside. She looked absolutely stunning, wearing a simple black dress that tied behind her neck. It wasn't too short but wasn't too long; I could see her shapely legs and it clung to her like it was made just for her. It probably was. Her hair was half down which looked beautiful on her because I could see her neck which I was extremely fond of. She was such a beautiful woman; I didn't know what I did to deserve her company.

She made her way over to the bar and quickly caught Stefan's attention. He made her some type of fruity cocktail and placed a shot glass of something dark next to it. That's my girl; she drinks the girly stuff but more than makes up for it with a shot of the good stuff. My guess was Crown XR, same thing she drank at dinner last night. She quickly downed the shot and started drinking her fruity concoction; I couldn't believe that it had only been sixteen hours since I'd seen her. Deciding to play a little game of hide and seek, I pulled my phone out to text her.

I see you in your black dress, beautiful. Are you enjoying your drink? ~E~

I watched as she pulled out her phone; her eyes lit up and he teeth lightly bit her beautiful full lip. I watched as she typed a message and eagerly waited to read what she wrote.

No fair. :( I would be enjoying it more if you were licking it off me. Screaming Orgasm is more than just a drink with you. ~B~

Oh my god. I immediately felt my cock twitch inside of my jeans. I had to respond.

Patience. I promise that won't be the only Screaming Orgasm you will have tonight. ~E~

Seconds later, I watched the blush creep across Bella's cheeks and down to the tops of her breasts.

Keep talking like that and I might have to take care of it without you. :( ~B~

Not wanting to waste another second, I decided to give a hint to where I was.

The TOPS of your breasts are beautiful from where I stand. I'll make you cum with more than my hand. ~E~

She slowly scanned the room; I knew she was looking for me. Her gaze finally lifted and her eyes caught mine. Smiling up at me, she bit her lip and mouthed "hi". Mouthing the word "hi" back, I held up one finger letting her know that I would be right there.

"Go get her tiger," Sarah said having witnessed our exchange. I kissed her on the cheek and left to go to my Bella.

Chapter 12... basketball with the boys and Bella chastising Rosalie for being a prude. Who would've thought it possible? Was Emmett already starting to figure it out?

Chapter 10

Edward POV

I walked the rest of the way into my apartment. I needed to get ready and go meet Emmett. He would be expecting me soon. Images from last night kept popping into my head; I had never let any other woman have this kind of effect on me. Bella was nothing like I thought she'd be; she was elegant, sophisticated along with sassy, and relaxed. It made for one hell of a combination. She had reacted so much better than I thought she was going to when I told her I had her number; I thought she would walk out and that would be it, but she had known all along. Nor I was expecting to be so bold in asking to see her again but I had to do something; I could not take the chance of not seeing her again of not touching her again for that matter. Bella Swan was quickly becoming my addiction. I feared what that would do to me.

I was taught to use women for my physical pleasure and have no attachment to them whatsoever. When I was seventeen years old, a friend of my mother's came to visit. Carmen, she was a gorgeous and an amazing woman. She had noticed that I was not very happy; I kept to myself a lot, barricading myself in my room and concentrating on my studies and music. My parents were always fighting; I think half the time they forgot I even existed. Birthdays, holidays and special occasions didn't happen in my house. I don't know why my parents ever had me; I was told numerous times that I was a mistake and the only reason they were still together. One evening, Carmen came to me and propositioned me; she told me that she could "train" me to be happy on my own terms. That very thought fathomed me, the thought that I could be happy. I didn't think it possible for someone to care about my happiness and here was someone offering me just that. I know now that I was desperate for any type of affection she would show me.

The first thing I learned was hate for my father and fear for my mother. My father was ruled by his emotions; always wearing his heart on his sleeve. He was weak; my mother would walk all over him, like he was nothing. I had no respect for my father and kept my mother as far away as possible. I would never let a woman make me feel the way my mother had made him feel ever. It was what I feared the most. Because of this, Carmen taught me to be wary of all women, except for her; she was the exception to the rule, and the only woman who ever cared about me. She used the feelings I had towards my mother and father to fuel my desire to change myself through her "training".

The next three summers I lived with Carmen in Italy where my "training" took place. My parents didn't care, for all they knew I was living in the Rwanda with gorillas. I belonged to Carmen; she was the only woman in my life those three years. She told me often that I belonged to her and no one else while my "training" was taking place. I didn't want anyone else anyway, I loved Carmen; I hated myself for it but I did. She was trying to teach me physical pleasure without the need for emotional connection; making sure I was available to her at every beck and call. I fell for her the very first summer; I was a naive child and she was the only person to show me any type of affection. Fearing that she would see it as a weakness, I never told her. She had taught me to leave everything platonic, to take only what I needed and leave the rest so I didn't want to disappoint her. Emotions were bad and I was never to show them, ever.

I keep using the word training because that's what she used to call it. She said that sex with her was nothing but training and that it was for her pleasure and mine. It was to teach me how to live the rest of my life. She taught me that anything I craved or wanted, I could have. That any woman I wanted could be mine for the taking. Carmen knew any man she wanted was for her taking as well. I was never to give a woman the chance to walk all over me because I would be destroyed; like my father was by my mother.

Those summers I became Edward, I was no longer Eddie or Junior. Carmen always used to say that my pride got in the way; that I needed to stop trying to be what other people wanted me to be. She taught me to be the pride of flesh for her, that I was her Orgoglio. Three days before the end of the last summer, I got my tattoo; it was the same three days before she told me goodbye. She had taught me all she could. She no longer wanted me. My emotions got the best of me that day; I begged her not to leave me and told her that I loved her. She told me that was my problem, and that I had to learn to control my emotions. She had already found my replacement. I meant nothing to her. From that day forward, I told myself I would never let my emotions get the best of me. Look what they had done to me; nothing good ever comes from loving someone. That was the first and last time a woman broke my heart

Here I was in that situation again, I was breaking every rule with Bella: never get close, never show emotions, and under no circumstance show weakness. She had changed me; the minute she walked into my life I was never the same. How could I have let this happen? Before Bella left, she had staked her claim on me or at least that is what it felt like. 'No one else', three little words that meant everything. I was hers and she was mine. I wanted it more than anything, and I was not exactly sure what that meant. I feared this woman would break me.

I eventually made my way down to the basketball court. Emmett was all smiles as I walked up to him.

Emmett POV

I was about to call it quits when I saw Edward making his way over to me. He had a shit-eating grin on his face and looked like he'd been thoroughly fucked. Is it bad that I was somewhat jealous? I mean don't get me wrong, I love my wife but sex with Rosie isn't very exciting. We were fighting at the moment, and I was really looking forward to blowing off some steam with Edward. He was always reliable for a good time and some great stories.

"It's about time Doucheward," I said wiggling my eyebrows at him. "I was starting to think you were blowing me off for your houseguest."

"Very funny Minuteman," Edward replied. I hate that nickname and he knows it. "I've never stood you up and I'm not about to start, so give me a break."

"Alright man," I replied. "Let's play some ball!"

An hour later along with a bucket of sweat, Edward and I stopped to take a break.

"So Eddie," I said. "Do I get any details about this mystery woman or what?"

"Still living vicariously through me Emmett?" he asked. "I thought you and Rosalie were happy newlyweds barely getting out of bed and shit?"

"Ha, very funny Edward," I replied. "You know I can't resist a good story of yours."

"Ooh good subject dodge there Em," he said punching me in the shoulder. "Is there trouble in paradise?"

"Rosie is Rosie; can we just not talk about it?" I asked, hoping that he would drop it.

"Alright, I can take a hint." he said shrugging his shoulders. Wow, this was so unlike Edward. He would do anything to get a razz out of me about Rose. I had mentioned one night when I was drunk that Rose wasn't very adventurous in bed and ever since then he'd given me shit every chance he could get.

"But, that doesn't mean we can't talk about your piece," I said. "Come on Edward, spill!"

"She's great Em, different from anyone I've ever met," he said looking down at the ground.

"That's all I get?" I said. "Come on, seriously what has this girl done to you?"

"She hasn't done anything Em," he said. "I just don't know what you want from me."

"I want what you usually give me Edward, every detail." I said. "Come on, I usually can't get you to shut up. Oh wait, was she horrible? Is that it? Shit, dude I'm sorry."

"No Em, she's far from it," he said still not looking at me. "You never want to hear about my girls, why the change?"

"Come on dude, I told you I need a distraction," I said.

"Oh so because you need a distraction, it's ok but every other time it's not," he said finally looking at me. "That's pretty fucked up Em; I should be able to spill when I want, not when you want me to."

"God, dude seriously?" I said. I had no idea where this was coming from at all. "It's not like you at all, not to want to brag."

"Whatever," he said looking off in the distance. "I'm not in the mood to be your entertainment. Let's just play some more ball. I got shit to do later today."

"Alrighty then," I said. I was completely flabbergasted by the whole situation. Not only did he not want to talk about it, but he got completely defensive about the whole situation. Edward was never like that, he was always up for spilling about his latest conquest. Had this woman changed Edward? That's the only reason I could come up with.

After finishing another game, Edward and I started to gather up our stuff.

"Sorry man," I said looking in his direction. "I'm sorry for pushing you for information about your new girl."

"It's alright Em," Edward said looking at me. "I'm sorry I got so defensive. I don't know what's with me."

"Must be some girl," I said. "Hope it works out."

"Yeah she is," he said. "Nothing like I thought she'd be. I wasn't expecting it at all. "

"The good ones never are," I said thinking about the way Rosie made me feel when we first got together. "Just take it as it comes, and see what happens bro."

"Yeah, it's definitely different. I thought it was only going to be the one time a couple weeks ago, but then I ran into to her again last night and I couldn't control myself. It's like I was on auto pilot man," he said. "Felt like I was watching myself, outside looking in and shit."

"Wow dude," I said. "Can't say that I know exactly what you mean, but it sounds intense."

"It is Em," he said. "She is fucking amazing. I just hope I don't blow it."

"Just follow your heart," I replied. "That's all you really can do." Deep down Edward is a decent person. Sure, he may be a manwhore sometimes, but he has a good heart. He has always been there for me when I needed him. He's honest, trustworthy and intelligent. We've been friends for six years and he hasn't ever let me down so I got mad respect for the guy. Wow, I sound like I'm in fucking love with him.

"Yeah I suppose," he said, staring off into the distance again. "We'll see; I'll probably never see her again anyway."

"If she doesn't call you, you better call her," I said. "Any girl that can make Edward Masen act like this must be a fucking angel sent from heaven."

"Thanks man," he said. "I better get going; I got some errands to run."

"Do you want to grab some beers and play pool or something later?" I said crossing my fingers. I really didn't want to spend the night at home. "Rosie is having Bella over to look at wedding pictures and shit." I noticed Edward's eyebrows rise when I mentioned Bella's name.

"Yeah sure, sounds good Em," he said. "I'll text you a little later after I finish. Go home and patch things up with the Mrs."

"Eh, we'll be fine. She's just throwing a tizzy. You know Rose. She'll be begging for it later," I said; laughing because both of us know it's not true. That was my way of changing the subject, yet again.

"Later man," Edward said as he turned to walk home.

Walking in the opposite direction, I thought about what had just happened with Edward. I'd never seen him act that way about a girl. Maybe Edward's found his perfect match. Who could she be? This girl, this woman must be some Hellcat in the sack to curb Edward Masen's sexual prowess.

Bella POV

I rushed out of Edward's apartment and to my car. My head was turning. What had I done? Where did that come from? Never in my entire had I life staked a claim on someone. It was an emotional risk for rejection and I didn't do that. Edward was quickly becoming significant to me and that wasn't something that ever happened either.

Arriving at home, I made my way through my loft and saw that everything was as it should be. James had shut off my Jacuzzi, knowing it would be empty last night. My evening with Edward had seen to that. Images of Edward and me in it entered my mind immediately; Tuesday couldn't get here fast enough.

I straightened up a few things around my loft before I gave up and decided I needed to nap. Rose and I had plans later to get together at her place to look at wedding pictures. I was going to need a nap to get through that shit. She was anxious to tell me about her honeymoon in Paris. She had called when I was on my way back from Edward's, wanting to get together sometime tonight.

I settled into my California king bed with my Thomas Lee 500 thread-count sheets, which felt like heaven after not sleeping a wink at Edward's place. There I go again, Edward, he was in every thought I was having. How did I get myself into this situation?

Lying back, I began to think to about Jacob Black; someone I hadn't thought about in a very long time. He was my first love, my first kiss, my first sexual partner; my first everything. He had come and gone in my life so long ago that it felt like a dream, or in his case a nightmare.

Don't get me wrong, Jacob was a nice boy, but that's exactly what he was. We met in high school, I was the overachiever younger girl, and he was the older high school jock. We were opposites from the very beginning, but what happens with opposites? They attract. We stayed together throughout high school and even into college.

Sex with Jacob was good; but I knew nothing at that time. If I compared him to the sex I've had since then, it was horrible; the worst I've ever had. It was very boring and mundane. I know now that it was the emotions involved in it, we were so wrapped up in loving one another that we didn't take the time for the physical aspect of it all. The sex never changed like it needed to over the years.

My third year in college I got wasted at a frat party and ended up having sex with some random guy. It was good and so much better than the sex I had been having. The next time I saw Jacob, I ended things. Needlessly to say Jacob was not pleased with me at all. He couldn't believe that I would end things after so long without giving him a better reason. He begged me to reconsider and said that we could work on it, but I was convinced it was the only way.

I promised myself never to let my emotions get the best of me and to enjoy sex for what it was, just sex. I had been neglecting myself for far too long, and wouldn't do it any longer. I wasn't about to become a whore, but I could still enjoy myself. I soon became content on being single and having great sex with no emotions involved.

That's the way I've lived my life for the last nine years. Jacob is married with children. We are friends for the sake of our families and that's it. I am happy with my choices so far in life. I haven't ruled out the whole happily ever after syndrome, but for right now, no thanks.

Somewhere in the middle of my thoughts, I fell asleep.

Almost 4 hours later, I awoke feeling refreshed and ready to fake it for Rosalie. I knew she was excited to show me pictures and tell me about married life. I knew from Emmett that she wasn't very adventurous in bed, so besides growing up together, we had nothing in common anymore. For the sake of family though, I would smile and put on a good show just for her.

Cranking the stereo up with Kings of Leon, I made two pitchers of sangria. One to drink before and one to take over to Rosalie's house, she'd have a glass but that would be it. I was going to need alcohol and lots of it to make it through this night.

Finishing the first pitcher, I called for transportation for the evening. Already feeling the effects of the sangria, I was in no shape to drive. Rosalie was going to be angry with me; I was already thirty minutes late. Luckily, for everyone involved I'm a happy drunk so she could bitch if she wanted; I wouldn't care.

Rosalie POV

Stupid Isabella! She's always late. Why do I even bother? Oh, that's right she's my sister. Probably working and lost track of time. I wasn't really mad at Isabella for being late. I needed to calm down and not take it out on her when she got here.

Emmett and I were fighting and I needed my sister. She was always a big help, she understood that I wasn't adventurous in bed like other woman. Shoot, she was just like me; probably worse, she hadn't been with anyone since Jacob Black. Isabella was too busy working and running her company to care about physical intimacy.

I was also anxious to show Isabella the pictures from the wedding. I knew she would appreciate those; she looked beautiful in them. It's too bad that Emmet's manwhore of a best friend had to be in them. Maybe I could have him airbrushed out.

Emmett had gone out this morning to play basketball with Edward, like he always does and came back in such a good mood. He was whistling and skipping around the house as if he won some prize or something. I wondered what had him in such a great mood. I was hurt to think it wasn't because of me; we were fighting and I knew he was still angry. Paris was wonderful; we went everywhere and saw everything. It was so romantic. Candlelight dinners and baths together were the best part. Emmett sure knew how to treat a woman. When we got back from Paris, something changed. It started one night in bed; we were being intimate and Emmett flipped me over so I was on my stomach. He proceeded to enter me from behind; well not in my behind but from behind me. He called it "doggy-style" and said that it was hot because he could see and slap my beautiful ass. I was appalled; never had I thought he would ever treat his wife with such disrespect. I kicked him out of bed that night and we haven't slept together since. That was 3 days ago.

I was anxious to discuss this with Isabella, because I knew she would see it my way and have some advice on how I should approach the conversation with Emmett.

At precisely a quarter to seven, I heard a knock at door. I heard Emmet greet Isabella and from the sounds of it he hugged her tightly, like he always did. I loved that they got along so well. He showed her to the kitchen and excused himself. Never coming to say goodbye or goodnight, I had no idea where he was off to, or when he planned to return.

When I entered the kitchen and Isabella was fixing herself a drink, humming to herself as she went. She brought sangria with her and was in process of pouring herself a glass. She looked like she had already had some before she got here. I was sure work wasn't the reason for her tardiness.

"Hello Isabella," I said leaning against the counter next to her. "It's nice of you to finally show up."

"Oh can it Rosalie," she said turning to face me, offering me a glass of sangria. "I'm not that late."

"Thanks," I said taking the glass. "I'll let it slide because you brought my favorite."

"Whatever Rosalie," she said laughing at me. "How the hell are ya?"

"Don't be brash Isabella," I said shaking my head in disapproval.

"Hey I've been drinking," Isabella said. "Lay off on my grammar tonight, will ya?"

"Fine, since you have a valid reason, I'll let it slide this once." I said, turning to walk to the living room. "Come see the wedding pictures, they turned out lovely."

"Oh yes, please show me I'm dying to see." Isabella said, following me.

"It's a shame that disgusting Edward had to be in them," I added. "If he wasn't they'd be just about perfect."

"He's Emmet's best friend and his choice for best man," Isabella said looking away. "Cut him some slack, he was a perfect gentleman that night."

"Very well," I said reaching for the album. "Come sit, drool over my wedding. It was absolutely divine wasn't it?" Isabella sat next to me and I placed the album between us on the coffee table.

"You look fabulous Rosalie," Isabella said looking at the pictures. "You made a beautiful bride."

"Thank you Isabella," I said taking a sip of sangria.

"Fuck me," I heard Isabella say under her breath. Or at least that's what I thought I heard. I looked down at the album and she was looking at a picture of Emmet and Edward with their arms around one another laughing.

"Excuse me? Did you just say fuck me?" I asked Isabella wondering if that's what she said.

"No. I said look at that. Look at the size of that flower arrangement," she said pointing to the flowers behind the boys. "I hadn't realized how big the flowers were until now."

"Yes they were quite lovely weren't they?" I shook my head thinking I really must have heard her wrong. "It's a shame Edward had to ruin the pictures of my beautiful flowers. He's such a dirty manwhore, sorry you had to be subjected to him Isabella."

"Stop it Rosalie, just stop it!" Bella practically screamed at me. She set her glass down standing up to look at me. "Alright it's time to have this talk Rosalie. I'm sick of you not knowing what I know." She paused, looking in my direction to see if I was listening. I nodded motioning for her to continue.

"Okay here goes," Isabella said clearing her throat. "You are a prude. You are married to a gorgeous man that if I were you would be all over and twice on Sunday. Gorgeous men are made for one reason and one reason only, for fucking Rosalie. F-U-C-K-I-N-G!" She spelled out that obscene word out as if I didn't know how to spell it or what it meant.

"How can you say this Bella?" I asked. "You are just like me. You are probably worse."

"Pshhh…" she laughed at me. "Yeah right Rosalie. Trust me; I am getting it quite regularly. Always have been, always will be."

"That's absurd Isabella," I said shaking my head. "You haven't been with anyone since you know who."

"Not true, not true at all," she said taking a sip of her drink. "I need a refill, let's take this conversation in the kitchen."

I followed Isabella into the kitchen where she made herself another drink. She motioned for my glass and I handed it to her. I rarely drank more than one but this occasion called for another one.

"You know you can say his name," Isabella said. "I'm not affected by that anymore. I haven't been for a very long time."

"How is it that you can you say that Isabella?" I asked her. "He was such a large part of your life. He is still a large part of all our lives and he broke your heart."

"For fucks sake would you just call me Bella Rosalie?" she said rolling her eyes at me. "You know damn well that I prefer it."

"Fine Bella," I said hating that name, it was so informal. "Explain to me how it is that you are not affected by the mention of Jacob Black's name?"

"I dumped him Rosalie," she said looking directly at me. "He was lousy in bed the whole time I knew him; I cheated on him and then dumped him." She finished letting out a heavy breath of relief.

"What?" I practically screamed at her. "You dumped him? Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"You assumed, and I let you assume it," she said shrugging her shoulders. "Now I just want you to know the truth. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not Rosalie. I'm not the innocent little girl that you think I am. I am a woman, and with that, I enjoy sex and lots of it. In fact, the man I was with last night blew my socks off, lit'rally. It was so good last night Rosalie, I can barely walk today."

"What do you mean by lots of it?" I asked wondering the extent of my sister's experience.

"Does it really matter Rosalie?" she asked rolling her eyes. "The point is that I frequently enjoy the company of a man in my bed. That is the reason why I see nothing wrong with the way Edward is. At least he is honest about the way he is, I'm just a big fake."

"You can't possibly be like Edward Bella, he's disgusting." I said. "He sleeps with different women every night and sometimes more than one. Emmett has told me stories that would make you sick."

"Whatever Rosalie," Bella said looking away again. "Been there done that. He really is not that bad. It's better than being like you. You're so frigid, so cold. I bet you thought "doggy-style" was barking during sex before the other night with Emmett."

"I can't believe he told you, or that you let him tell you," I said, tears starting to creep up.

"Please don't cry Rosalie, he was worried. He still is," she said taking my hand in hers after wiping a tear off my cheek. "He's your husband Rosalie, don't you want him to show you how much he loves you?"

"He does Bella, every day he is a wonderful man," I said looking at her. "I don't need crazy fancy sex to show me that. I enjoy our time we have together. Gentle, passionate and sweet is perfect for us."

"What if he wants more?" Bella asked timidly. "What if he wants to be able to show you more of the ways that he loves you, appreciates you, and desires you? There are so many ways for him to show you, and for you to show him Rosalie. If you really love someone, you should show them every possible way don't you think?"

"We've always been alright Bella," I said saddened by her words, knowing that she was right. "Now he wants more, like what we've had isn't good enough. I thought I was good enough and that's why he chose me."

"You are good enough Rosalie," Bella said pulling me to the living room to sit on the couch. "His love for you is growing, so his need to show you is growing as well. Both of your love is growing, evolving and so should the way you express it."

"Is this the way you really feel Bella?" I asked curiously. "Do you believe that love evolves and grows?"

"I think I do Rosalie," she said looking down at her hands. "I've never really thought about it. I think you and Emmett are that way because you love each other so much. I've never loved anyone enough that I've wanted to change or evolve for them. If for some chance I ever fell for someone like that, I would do anything to have them love me that way forever."

"That's amazing Bella," I said enjoying that my sister felt that way. "I hope you find that too. I think you are right about Em and me. I think I could change for him because I do love him that much."

"I love you too Rosie," Emmett said from across the room. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I couldn't resist telling you the same. I've hated fighting with you and had to tell someone. I needed help Rosie."

"Oh Em," I said standing and walking over to him. "I'm sorry for being cold and frigid."

"You are not cold and frigid Rosie," he said cupping my face in his big hands. "You are my wife and I love you more than anything in this world." He leaned forward and kissed me sweetly on the lips. "Can I please come back to the bed now Rosie? I miss you."

"Of course you can Em," I said looking at him in the eyes. "I'm looking forward to it. I want you to show me how to love you more Em, but you'll have to go slow with me."

"Deal babe," he said. "I can do sweet and sexy, swexy just for you Rosie." Then he captured my lips once again.

"On that note, I'm going to go," Bella's voice brought us up for air. "Is my car still outside Em?"

"Oh sorry Bells," Emmet said turning to walk out of the room. "Let me go check."

"Thank you so much Bella," I said hugging my sister. "I'm really glad you decided to tell me the truth and that you didn't hold back any longer."

"You're welcome Rosalie," Bella said. "I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I'm glad it's finally out. Do a favor for me though?"

"Anything Bella," I said looking at her.

"Don't tell your mom and dad," she said looking down. "I think it would be best coming from me, when I'm ready."

"Oh Bella, I wouldn't dream of it," I said hugging her again. "Now beat it, I have some dirty things to do to my husband."

"You go girl," Bella said giving me a thumbs up. "If you need any pointers give me a call."

"Will do sweetheart," I said shaking my head, not quite ready for that. "Call me soon, we'll do lunch or something."

"Cars ready Bells," Emmett said stepping into the living room once again. He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and began to kiss my neck. "Have a good night."

"Thanks Em," Bella said giving Emmett a wink. "You too."

Emmett POV

Bella walked out of the house and leaned down to kiss my wife's neck once again. I couldn't wait to get her to bed.

"I'm glad you told her Emmett," Rosie said breaking me out of my neck-induced stupor.

"Me too," I said. "What brought that conversation up tonight?"

"Bella's not a prude Em," Rosalie said. "She's quite promiscuous actually. She'd been keeping many things from me, and they all came out tonight. We were looking at pictures, I made a comment about that nasty best friend of yours, and she defended him. She said at least he was open and upfront about what he does, and that she was just a big fake."

"She stuck up for Edward?" I said completely in shock. "Wonder why?"

"Yes she did," she said. "I haven't a clue, she said he was the perfect gentleman at the wedding, and that I needed to stop putting him down."

"Wow babe," I said not knowing what to think. "I'm glad you two talked, and that you see now why I am the way I am. I just love you Rose and want show you in as many ways possible as much as possible." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and growled. She took off running to our bedroom. I stayed behind to turn off the lights and lock up the house.

I thought about the day and couldn't believe what had come about. Edward was already changing because of some big mystery woman. He was acting different and questioning his behavior. Then there was Bells, finally admitting to her sister that she wasn't a prude and that she enjoyed the company of men, and quite often from the sounds of it. At the same time sticking up for Edward for being honest and upfront about his choices. Two people behaving completely out of character. Edward and Bella, Bella and Edward; no it couldn't be? They couldn't be together could they?

"Em," Rosie's voice brought me out of my crazy thought. "Are you coming or not?"

"On my way Rosie," I yelled on my way upstairs. "Are you ready for some smexing?" I heard her giggle and I knew we were on our way to something better. Slowly but surely we'd get there.

Bella POV

What a crazy night! Good thing I had been drinking or I might've actually cared what had happened with Rose. The cats out of the bag finally, thank God!

After settling into my car, I found my phone and pulled up a blank text message. I couldn't help it. I craved him; his touch and his voice. The way he made me feel was unlike anything I'd ever felt before. I was drunk and being honest with others and myself for the first time. What could it hurt?

Edward, Is it Tuesday yet? I could use some company if you're interested. No one else. ~Bella~

I hit send and waited for a response.

Chapter 9... breakfast, surprise visitor and a promise.

Chapter 9... sexy breakfast together, Emmett showing up unannounced and a promise of NO ONE ELSE. Decided they couldn't stay way from one another and didn't want to share.

Chapter 9
EPOV

What was happening to me? I had never felt like this before. Our trip to the grocery store was amazing; for the first time I felt like I was part of a couple. It was crazy for me to be thinking this; we hadn't seen each other that many times. Doing couple things wasn't my idea of a good time, sheesh I hadn't even really taken Bella out on a date.

A date, yeah right I didn't even know what one of those was; I didn't exactly take girls on dates. We'd always meet for a drink at a bar and then went to their place, sometimes before the first drink was completely consumed. Then after a fuck, I'd excuse myself and leave; making up any excuse that would get me out as fast as possible. Shoot I'd even brought Bella to my place, which I never did; I usually went to their place, it was easier to leave. I'd only taken someone to my place once or twice and it was always a pain in the ass to get rid of them. I was in no great rush to get rid of Bella.

The only regular I'd ever had was Tanya and that hadn't even been that long, for six months on and off we'd been sleeping with one another. We'd agreed to be each other's fuck buddy when the need was there. We did not have an attachment to each other; we could see anyone else we wanted. The only stipulation was that we only had unprotected sex with each other. If she slept with someone else she'd use protection and vice versa. I had broken that rule with Bella, several times; the first being at the wedding. I didn't have protection with me; I wasn't planning on fucking someone during the reception, maybe after but not during. Then again tonight; not only didn't we use protection but Bella asked me to come inside of her and I couldn't say no. Being able to feel her around me while I came was absolutely amazing. I'd never come in anyone before, not even Tanya.

I settled in the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Pulling out a cutting board and colander; I washed the vegetables and fruit the put the fruit on a plate so we could snack on it. Reaching for a knife I started to cut up the mushrooms and green peppers.

"Can I help?" Bella said stepping back into the kitchen and grabbing some grapes. She looked so beautiful, still wearing my clothes from the grocery store. I watched as she slipped a grape into her mouth; she'd bite the end off sucking the juice out and then pop the rest of it in her mouth. Catching me staring at her, she bit her lip and looked at me in return.

"Yeah sure," I replied, glad that she wanted to help; anything to have her to close to me. "Grab a bowl from that cupboard over there and start cracking the eggs."

"Ok , I can handle that," she said winking at me. "How many eggs should I crack?"

"I'd say eight," I said smiling at her. "I'm absolutely ravenous." Licking my lips while I eye fucked her so she'd know I wasn't just talking about breakfast.

"Me too," Bella replied biting her lower lip again.

She settled in beside me to crack the eggs into the bowl. Eventually I returned to chop the vegetables again after being distracted by Bella. My cock was hard as soon as she'd walked into the kitchen and it didn't help her standing so close to me, I wanted her so much again. Thoughts of our night together kept playing in my mind, and I wondered if I'd be pressing my luck by taking her right there in the kitchen

Bella quickly finished cracking the eggs and I was just about done with the vegetables. After pulling out the cheese and ham from the fridge, I grabbed the grater. She reached for it and I passed it along with the cheese. She smiled and started working again, we made a good team. Cutting open the ham I started to chop it up as well.

"This is going to be quite the omelet," Bella said. "I'm hungry and don't know if I can wait much longer," she finished turning towards me letting me know that she didn't mean just the food.

"Really," I said, as I reached up and cupped her cheek; she leaned into my hand and sighed contently closing her eyes for a split second. Bringing my other hand to touch behind her neck I pulled her into kiss me, slowly pressing my lips to hers. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she opened her mouth to mine deepening our kiss. She let out a moan as my tongue found hers. I savored the taste of her, imprinting it into my brain.

Enclosing my arms around her waist I continued to kiss her. Bella was delicious, not too sweet but just perfect. Reaching to pinch her nipples in between my fingers, earning a soft moan from her, she released her arms from around my neck. I lifted the shirt off of her and reached behind her to unclasp her bra. Leaning down I took her already hard peak into my mouth and sucked it, while lightly pinching the other, then I switched. Bella reached for my shirt and I broke away from her beautiful breasts so she could remove it. Yanking the fabric from my body, I felt the material leave my chest, shoulders and then over my head. I immediately felt the warmth of Bella's breath against my chest, making my nipples pebble against her nakedness, feeling her ardor against me once again. We assaulted one another's lips again and Bella undid the elastic on my sweats; dropping them to my ankles, freeing my cock from its confinement.

"Ready for me already Edward?" She asked, sex dripping from her voice. "Here I thought I was going to have to get your attention," she winked at me then licked her lips. Bella dropped to her knees before I had a chance to respond. Quickly taking my cock into her mouth, licking and sucking until I felt it hit the back of her throat. Groaning I reached down to grasp Bella's hair. She looked up at me through her sexy eyelashes and winked at me. Naughty little minx! She continued to expertly devour my member until I couldn't take any more.

"Oh...Shit...Bella...I'm gonna...come," I said, barely being able to get the words out. She took me deeply into her throat one last time and that's all it took. Shuddering I came down the back of her throat and she swallowed every bit of it. She licked and sucked me until I was clean; she removed me from her mouth and stood back up. I kissed her immediately, tasting myself on her, not my favorite thing but sexy as hell. Reaching down I untied the shorts she was wearing; they immediately dropped to the ground.

"Are you ready for me Bella?" I said, sinking two fingers into her already wet pussy. "Or do you need convincing?" I kneeled down never breaking contact with her slick folds. I hitched one leg over my shoulder and dove in. I couldn't wait to taste her. I took her little bundle of nerves into my mouth and sucked gently; she moaned and thrust her hips towards my face. I continued to thrust two fingers into her curving them slightly toward her pelvic bone, searching for her g-spot.

"Fuck Edward!!" She screamed. Guess I must've found it. "Don't stop..." she said, clenching her teeth. "Almost there!"

"Wouldn't dream of it Bella," I said winking at her. "Come for me baby." Reattaching myself to her clit, I licked and sucked while continuing to move my fingers expertly inside of her; hitting her sweet spot every time. She moaned and bucked her hips, then I felt her walls start to clench around my fingers.

"Oh Fuck Edward." She moaned. "I'm coming." Her body shuddered and I continued until it stopped. I unhitched Bella's leg from my shoulder and stood up. I discarded my pants and leaned down to kiss her on the nose.

"Time for breakfast Bella, but don't bother putting your clothes back on. I fully intend to fuck your brains out as soon as we're done," I said, turning to get a pan out of the cupboard.

"No complaints here Edward," she responded. "But if I spill anything on myself you have to promise to lick it up." Smiling at me with a look in her eyes that showed me she wasn't joking.

"I think I can handle that," I said wiggling my eyebrows at her. Grabbing a couple pieces of bread I handed them to Bella, she turned around to pop them into the toaster while I started the omelets.

Nothing was said while we finished cooking breakfast; Bella just leaned against the counter watching me. I'm pretty sure she was checking out my ass while I was cooking, who could blame her though. I have a pretty sweet ass.

Bella and I sat at the counter and ate; both of us butt naked and stealing glances at one another. I'm pretty sure she didn't know I'd see her looking at me but I didn't hide that I was looking at her. She was too gorgeous to tear my eyes away. She'd take a bite and then lick the remainder off of her plump lips. I'd think about kissing her, dragging my tongue across her sweet lips until she'd allow me entrance...

We still hadn't talked about seeing each other again. I couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to see me again as much as I wanted to see her. Seeing her again after the wedding broke all of my rules; I wasn't really much one for repeats, but I'd make an exception for Bella. I already had.

I'd never done anything like this with a woman before. It was absolutely amazing to be able to sit in comfortable silence with a woman, not needing to speak or anything. You would think I'd find it awkward to sit in my kitchen, with a woman, naked and eat breakfast. It was way out of my comfort zone but with Bella, I was completely at ease.

I was brought out of my daze by a knock at the door. I had no idea who it could be, I wasn't expecting anyone. Bella's voice brought me further out of it.

"That is probably my assistant James," Bella said. "I asked him to bring me a change of clothes," she added. "No walk of shame for this girl," she winked at me. "I know you said no clothes but I really don't need James seeing me naked." She got up and grabbed the shirt and sweats I was wearing before. "Better hide anything you don't want James to see," she said. "Better yet, don't; he'll enjoy the show."

I got up and grabbed the basketball shorts Bella was wearing before and started to clean up the breakfast dishes. I heard small footsteps towards the door and then hushed voices.

"Thank you James." Bella said. "This should be perfect; I appreciate you doing this for me on your day off."

"No problem Miss Swan," a male voice said." Anything else I can do for you?" He asked. "A ride home perhaps?"

"No thank you James," she replied. "I have my car and I'm not quite done yet," she chuckled quietly. Smiling I thought about what I had promised her before we ate breakfast, fully intending to keep that promise.

"Okay Ma'am, see you on Monday then," he said.

"See you Monday James and thanks again," Bella replied shutting the door shortly after, I then heard Bella's footsteps get closer and then nothing. I turned around once again to see Bella naked leaning against the wall. She had one leg bent up and her eyes were once again full of lust.

"Ready to fuck my brains out Edward?" Bella said looking at me like I was a piece of meat. My cock immediately shot up and I was definitely ready for her.

"Indeed I am," I said smirking at her. Dropping my shorts I showed Bella that I was indeed ready for her.

"Indeed you are," Bella smirked.

Crossing the space between us in two large steps I grabbed Bella; lifting her up, she wrapped her legs around my waist giggling in my ear. Feeling her hot wetness against me, I pushed her up against the wall by the kitchen and assaulted her neck. Slowly I licked and sucked my way down to her breasts and took one of her nipples into my mouth. She moaned and thrust her lava core into me.

"Fuck me Edward, please," Bella whispered into my ear nibbling on it. "I want to feel you inside of me again."

That's all it took. I positioned myself at her entrance and sheathed myself in her in one quick thrust. She cried out and I groaned in response. As I continued to slam into her, Bella thrust her hips to match my every move. I carried her over to the end of the couch, never breaking contact. Laying her down I leaned down to capture Bella's lips with mine. She plunged her tongue into my mouth and I sucked on it. I started my thrusts once again, each one feeling deeper than the last. We broke our kiss and both gasped for air. Bella leaned her head back and I attacked her neck.

"Faster Edward." Bella moaned.

Straightening back up I pounded into Bella repeatedly as fast as I could. Bella's breathing started to get faster; I could tell I was hitting that spot once again. Her pussy started to clench around my cock and I could tell she was close. Wetting my thumb in my mouth I reached down and rubbed her swollen knot of flesh; a little soft and then harder until she screamed.

"Oh... shit... Edward... fuck!!" She screamed and thrashed around. Never resting I continued to push into Bella again and again until her orgasm ceased. I pulled out of her and pulled her up. I immediately took her lips to mine, pushing my tongue in her mouth. Only breaking away once again to catch my breath.

"Turn around Bella, bend over the couch," I commanded her. "I'm nowhere near finished with you yet."

She quickly turned around and bent over the couch. I teased her entrance, running my cock up and down her saturated pussy until I heard her whimper.

"More Edward," she whined. "You said I could have as much as I wanted."

"Patience Bella," I said. "Let me do this my way."

I raised my foot, placing it on the couch next to Bella's shoulder, and then I slowly entered her. I groaned at the tightness this position brought. She moaned enjoying it as much as I did. Slowly, I moved in and out of her enjoying every bit of the friction. Bella's legs started to shake and I could tell she was close once again.

"Come for me Bella," I said. " I want you to come for me again." I dropped my leg back to the ground and grasped her legs raising them up just a bit for a different angle. I slipped in again, this time feeling deeper than ever. She slightly lifted her ass a little bit more and I could feel her start to constrict, milking my cock. Shoving into her with everything I had, she bucked her hips and screamed out.

"Oh God!" She moaned. "Oh Edward." I pulled out of Bella silently enjoying my release. Leaning against Bella until both of us stopped shaking from our orgasm. I wasn't going to come inside Bella again until she let me; I couldn't help but want that again and soon.

"Fuck Bella," I sighed, finally separating myself from her. "You're going to be the death of me woman."

"What a way to go though?" She replied turning to chastely kiss my lips while raising her eyebrows. "Mind if I use your shower and get cleaned up?"

"No, not at all," I said. "You know where it is, help yourself." I found my basketball shorts once again and slipped them on.

I watched as Bella walked into my room to get cleaned up. Not being able to tear my eyes away from her perfect ass. I heard the water turn on in the bathroom and glanced at the clock, seven o'clock already wow. Where had the time gone? I walked into the kitchen to finish cleaning up.

I thought about the things I needed to do before my trip Wednesday to Portland. There was so much to do to get ready for my presentation with Mr. Stanley. I so wanted this to be the break I'd been looking for. Living day to day working for someone else was not for me, I wanted to be my own boss and make my own decisions.

A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts. I couldn't for the life of me think who it might be. Probably Bella's assistant again. Just then I heard the water shut off. Good she can deal with that guy again. Then it hit me...I knew who it was and he was not going to be happy when he saw Bella here. Emmett. Saturday. Basketball. Damnshitfuck. I'm dead.

BPOV( It's about time.)

I headed for the bathroom, grabbing my bag that James had brought by. I didn't want to call him to bring me something to change into but there was no way I was going to make my way home in last night's clothes. I wasn't ashamed by any means; my night with Edward was phenomenal to say the least. The way I felt when he made me come and the look on his face when he did. I thought about last night and letting him come inside me. I wanted that so bad; to feel him as he came, knowing that I was the one that did that. I didn't ever let anyone do that. I was always safe.

I never had unprotected sex with Mike; I didn't trust him at all. He begged me all of the time to let him feel me without anything, but I wasn't about to let him. Recently I had found out from a reliable source that I wasn't the only woman that he had been sleeping with, and that the others were less than fresh as I liked to put it. I wasn't mad, Mike could sleep with whomever he chose, I'm just not going to be part of it. We had no strings attached. I'd only had unprotected sex with one other person, my first boyfriend Jacob Black. It was both our first relationships, so I knew for certain that it was safe to be with him without protection. With Edward for some reason it was different, I wanted nothing in between myself and him. For the first time in my life I wanted to be bare for someone.

I was caught off guard at the grocery store, not prepared for all the affection he was showing me. I'd never been one for PDA, but with Edward I couldn't help it. Did he notice when I blushed after the stock boy saw us kissing? Stupid uncontrollable blush, I thought I'd gotten rid of that. I used to blush like a giddy little school girl all of the time but I made myself stop, I thought it to be a sign of weakness. Showing emotion is not the way to be successful and run your own company. What did it mean that Edward could get me to blush again, I hadn't blushed for years. Not since Jacob.

After we got back from the grocery store, I wanted Edward so bad. We had teased one another and flirted all through the store, it took everything I had not to take him in his Blazer. When we got back to his place it was game on. Being absolutely positive he wanted me again, but wasn't sure why he didn't just take me; I dropped a few more hints finally looked directly in his eyes. He got the hint that I wanted him, so I decided I would take him into my mouth as quickly as possible, and enjoy every inch of him!

I enjoyed the attention he gave me as well. When he told me that there were to be no clothes during breakfast, that was because he intended to "fuck my brains out" afterwards I went weak in the knees. Loving it when he took control, I was ecstatic to know he'd be doing it again. Usually, I was the one to be in control but I couldn't help but desire his control.

I'd never had breakfast naked with a man, heck I'd never had breakfast with a man. I wasn't one to stick around or invite them to do the same. I always faked a work emergency or whatever I had to do to get them to leave. For some reason I was so happy when Edward asked me to stay, someone offering to cook for me was another first. Breakfast was delicious, so was the view. He would glance at me during breakfast, probably thinking I didn't see him, but I did. Making it known that I was looking at him however, I never took my eyes off of him, he probably was thinking the same.

Who could blame me? After all we were sitting there naked thanks to his rule. He surely made good on his promise. Wow. Maybe he'd be interested in another repeat; I could use a new regular. Mike had been that for the past few months. I only called him when I didn't feel like the hassle of meeting someone else, and it was purely convenience. He was reliable and not bad in the sack. But Edward, he was so much better and I already craved him.

Stepping out of the shower I heard a loud booming voice coming from the other room.

"Damn Edward. It smells like a sexbomb went off in here," said the voice.

"Hey Emmett. How's it going?" Edward's voice.

Shit Emmett! What the hell is he doing here? Rosalie is going to kill me if she finds out. Or kill Edward because he would be blamed for corrupting me or some stupid shit like that.

"Good. You don't look ready to go play some hoops man," Emmett said. "You're not canceling on me are you?"

"No man," Edward said. "How about I meet you at the courts in about an hour?"

"Oh shit dude!" Emmett chuckled. "Do you have girl here?"

"Yeah man," Edward said. "She's just getting cleaned up."

"Cleaned up?" Emmett said sounding shocked. "You mean you didn't just kick her out like you usually do?"

"Shhhh man," Edward said. "She'll hear you."

"Sorry," Emmett said. "Just a little different for you," he continued laughing. "You usually fuck'em and then chuck'em."

"Yeah I know man," Edward again. "This one didn't want to leave," he continued. " I tried to get her to leave but she's just a little clingy." Nice cover Edward, get him to leave before he knows I'm here.

"Bummer man," Emmett said.

"Yeah, I'll have to figure out some way to ditch her," Edward replied. Touché! Sounded like Edward to me, I knew I was safe getting involved with him. He wouldn't form any attachment with me which was good because that was the last thing I needed.

"Alright man," Emmett replied. "I'll leave you to it then. See you on the court in about an hour?"

"Yep," Edward said. "See you soon."

The next thing I heard was the door shutting and pans being moved around in the kitchen once again. While I thought about how to approach this, I finished putting myself together. Do I pretend I didn't hear them talking or do I mention that I knew Emmett was here? Either way didn't really matter. Edward was hiding it from him and I was grateful for that. No way in hell did I want to hear any type of lecture from Rosalie.

Stepping out I saw Edward busily cleaning his kitchen. He caught me out of the corner of his eye and I smiled at him.

"Have a nice shower?" Edward asked. "You missed Emmett, I bet that would've been interesting." He smiled at me raising her eyebrows. Honesty, how refreshing. Here I thought he wouldn't even mention it and he just came out and told me.

"It was great," I replied. "Nah, Emmett is harmless. Rose is the one that bites." I giggled to myself. Edward continued to clean the kitchen and I walked into the living room to take a look around. There were some pictures on the wall I hadn't seen before and I immediately I recognized Alice.

"Wow, Alice looked adorable back then," I said towards the kitchen. Edward popped his head around the corner and smiled.

"Yeah, she was a live wire, even back then," he said. I continued to look at the rest of the photo's that were displayed in the living room. There were several I assumed that were of Edward when he was young with an older couple; I assumed they were his parents. His father looked just like him having the same beautiful green eyes.

I noticed a small keyboard in the corner, I walked towards it.

"Do you play?" I asked.

"Yeah," Edward responded from right behind me. I didn't even know he had left the kitchen. "My mother taught me when I was younger, that, and dancing."

"Well if your playing is as good as your dancing, I'd love to hear you play sometime," I said turning to look at him. Reaching down, he cupped my cheek and I leaned into his hand closing my eyes briefly. Just the slightest touch from Edward was like an electric current through my entire body. I didn't understand the affect this man had on me.

"I might be able to arrange that," he said leaning in to lightly kiss me on the forehead. "Play any instruments Bella?"

"Nope," I said popping the "p". "I don't have a musical bone in my body." As I looked up to wink at him Edward laughed and shook his head.

"You're too much Bella," he said. "But I like it." Smiling to let me know he was being sincere.

"Thanks Edward, you're not so bad yourself," I said grinning back; probably similar to the Cheshire cat I'm sure. I decided it was now or never; I was going to be the one to ask for a repeat.

"Not so bad myself huh?" Edward said looking away. "Does that mean you wouldn't object to seeing me again Bella?" He asked, beating me to the punch.

"I'd like that very much Edward," I responded nonchalantly. "Guess you better not lose my number this time." I peaked at him out of the corner of my eye.

"About that," he said turning to face me once again. "Honesty is really important to me Bella and I want to be completely honest with you. You may be angry with me but you have the right to know the truth."

"You didn't lose my number," I said already knowing the truth.

"You knew?" he asked looking surprised.

"Reading people is a large part of my job Edward," I said. "I'm not angry, just please don't ever lie to me again. It's a deal breaker with me. Like you, honesty is very important to me as well."

"I will never lie to you again Bella, I promise," he said looking directly into my eyes. "I wanted you so bad last night, it was the only thing I could think to do."

"Since we're both being honest here Edward, I owe you some as well," I said holding his gaze. "I wanted you as well; I was just fucking with you. I had every intention of going home with you or inviting you to my place."

"Your place huh?" he said staring at my lips. "Sounds intriguing."

"Then my place it is, next time," I said tilting my head to the side. "I can't wait to get you into my Jacuzzi."

"Jacuzzi, now that better be a promise," Edward said leaning closer to my lips. "Bella you better not be fucking with me this time."

"Trust me Edward," I said leaning closer as well. "You'll know when I'm fucking with you." As soon as the words left my mouth Edward had captured my lips with his. I swept my tongue across his bottom lip and he took it between his teeth. Involuntarily I moaned into his mouth and felt him shiver in response. We melted into one another, there was no end to him and no beginning to me; we were one in that moment. Breaking away to catch our breath, Edward lifted his head and backed away from me.

"As much as I'd love to continue this Bella," he said. "If I don't get to the basketball court soon, Emmett is going to come looking for me again."

"Fair enough," I said licking my lips. "To be continued another time then." I then leaned up and gave Edward a quick kiss on his lips. Turning to walk away, I didn't believe what had just happened at all; two people who never were meant to see one another again were planning to meet yet again.

"I'm going out of town on Wednesday," Edward said bringing me out of my daze. "I'd like to see you before I go." Walking over to the couch I started to gather my stuff; picking up the bag which had all of my things in it, along with my purse and keys. So soon? I thought to myself. Thinking how to go about this, knowing that Edward wasn't one to get attached I wasn't sure he just wanted to blow off some steam before leaving town.

"Sure, that should work," I responded walking toward the door. "Text me Tuesday and we can get together that night, if it still works for both of us," I said shrugging my shoulders. Then I opened his door, starting to step out.

"Will do," Edward said, slouching to lean against the door frame. Reaching towards me, he grabbed me by the back of the neck to pull me in for another kiss. The feeling of his soft magnificent lips against mine once again sent shivers down my spine, but this kiss felt different like he was trying to tell me something. Neither of us asked for permission to enter with our tongues, just knowing that's what we both wanted. Reaching up with my hand, I ran my fingers through his hair; eliciting a soft moan from Edward.

"See you soon Edward," I said after finally breaking away from our kiss. Placing one last chaste kiss on his lips, I stepped further outside.

"Soon Bella," he said taking my hand to kiss my knuckles. He turned to walk into the apartment and I turned to walk down the hall. Wondering if this was the way he treated every woman.

"Oh and Edward," I said turning to look at him once again. He turned to look at me, raising his eyebrows intent on listening to me.

"Yeah Bella," he said.

"No one else Edward," I said looking directly into his eyes.

"No one else Bella," he said repeating my words and nodding in agreement. I turned back around and walked towards the elevator, hearing his door close behind me.

Stepping into the elevator I pressed the "P" button for the parking garage. I took a step back and leaned against the wall. My emotions started to go a little overboard; why had I said that to him. Did I want him to know that I didn't have any intention of sleeping with anyone else? Or did I not want him to sleep with anyone? I didn't even think before the words came out, I just knew that I wanted to declare something or stake my claim in a way. By the time I reached the parking garage my head was spinning and I had no idea what I had done.

I closed the door and thought, "Shit! What had I just agreed to?"
