***********************************************************************************************************************************

It was only on rare occasions that the Cullen's house was empty but when it was, it was the most relaxing place to spend time in. Edward had decided to go hunting alone a day before the rest of his family for a purpose i wasn't completely sure of. I figured whatever the reason was, he'd reveal it to me in his own time and when he was ready.

I couldn't help but wonder though what he'd be up to in that massive house alone on a Saturday. We hadn't been given any homework assignments so i knew he wouldn't be working, my mind continued ticking away at all the possible explanations. Maybe he wanted some peace and quiet from the Cullen clan? Maybe he was going out of town and didn't want to worry me? Maybe i was over thinking this whole thing a bit too much... Maybe i wouldn't have the chance to think about this much longer as the sound of Edward's footsteps in my room alerted me to his presence. I looked over my left shoulder smiling gratefully for the distraction.

'Hey stranger, just a sec...'

I quickly finished typing an email to Reneé, hurried and flustered as usual as i felt Edward slowly approach me from behind. Shutting my laptop closed and standing up with my back to him, i felt his arms snake round my waist. I closed my eyes revelling in the moment, something i seemed to be doing more often these days.

'I missed you'

His voice was soft and soothing as i felt him snuggle into my neck and sniff my hair, something he seemed to be doing more often these days too. I smiled, still amazed that someone as perfect as him would even look twice at someone like me. Whenever i'd raise these kind of doubts, he'd silence me with a kiss... so sometimes i'd raise them on purpose. Letting the opportunity slide, i began tracing patterns on his hands which were still locked firmly around my waist.

'It's only been about half an hour since i last saw you! You can't have missed me that much'

I giggled as he sighed and began licking my neck like a dog to deliberately make me squeal. I writhed with laughter in his arms and turned to face him to escape the wet onslaught. Suddenly face to face with him now, he began staring at me intently, holding my gaze...his eyes that familiar golden colour which so often made me lose concentration.

'Any minute away from you is mental torture...physical torture too...'

He shot me a lop-sided smile, his hands securing their grip on my lower back. Being in close proximity to Edward always left me in a sort of 'catch 22' state of mind. On the one hand, being physically close to him was all i wanted and desired and was really the only gap between us now given we were definitely mentally connected. We were singing from the same song sheet when it came to everything but physicality. This was the other half of the 'catch 22', as much as i loved being close to him, i knew it was a matter of moments before i'd be pushed away or before Edward's sensible side got the better of him. I was beginning to resent having such a considerate boyfriend, but only when i felt at my most sexually frustrated...

Noticing my silence, he furrowed his brow and moved his head back a fraction, to survey my whole expression. I tried to hide it and feigned a smile but he saw right through it...

'What's wrong, Bella?' His hand was stroking my cheek, his face concerned.

'Nothing, i'm fine. Just thinking about some stuff is all. Nothing to worry about'

'Have i done something wrong? Tell me if i have and i'll try and put it right love'

I blinked hard, 'Can i ask you something?' I hadn't made up my mind what the question was going to be but i figured delay tactics were always good. I had two choices though: The most burning an obvious question would have been 'Are we ever going to be... physical... with each other?' But of course that question took guts to ask and i wasn't sure if i had that confidence with him being merely centimeters from my face. So i opted for the coward's way out...

'You can ask me anything'. If only!

'Well erm... i was just wondering what you were planning on doing with an empty house all to yourself?' I could see relief pool into his eyes as the worry flooded from his body and his muscles began to relax again.

'I thought something was seriously wrong, Bella!' Laughing to himself and shaking his head for thinking himself as irrational, he continued:

'I'm glad you mentioned it actually, because i was gonna ask you if you wanted to come over and spend the night with me. Esme and Carlisle said nobody will be back until tomorrow afternoon so we've got the rest of the afternoon and night as well as tomorrow morning to enjoy the house all to ourselves. What do ya say? We can go now if you want to'

His hand was still at my cheek, i turned my head slightly to the left and captured his thumb in a light but sensual kiss, Edward's eyes closed on impact. Suddenly relieved that my paranoia had been simply that and replaying the words 'spend the night with me' over and over again in my mind, i was feeling quite flirtatious. What exactly did he mean by that though?

'Errr yeah, sounds good to me. I love your place, and i love you so it sounds great to me. Are you sure i can stay the night though? I mean, are you ok with it?'

I think Edward understood what i was trying to imply but without tackling the question head on, he leaned in towards me slowly and just as i thought he was about to kiss me, he turned my head with his hand at my chin and whispered almost seductively,

'I'll show you how ok i am with it tonight, Bella'

He licked my neck briefly, i could feel him smiling as my heart beat grew faster.

'I'll come and pick you up in an hour... it's gonna be one hell of a sleepover'

He began walking backwards with a sexy smirk on his face as i stood motionless wide-eyed... managing to mouth an 'ok' before he gracefully disappeared out the window.

My brain was now working overtime. What did he mean? Was i being set up for an almighty fall? I don't think i can take rejection again...especially now that i'm a quivering mass of sexual frustration. Whatever was going to happen, i only had an hour to prepare for it. If we were finally about to do what i hoped we were about to... i'd need to look perfect for him because he deserved nothing less. Even if we were just going to watch a movie or sit and talk for hours in his room then at least i could do that looking good for once, or what i hoped would be good at least.

I sat back down at my desk, realising i hadn't moved from the spot since closing my laptop. Edward had a way of making me feel like i'd run a marathon, the effects he had on me without even being aware of them always surprised me. I'd always been calm and collected, reserved and measured. But around Edward, i was like a puppet and he was the puppeteer but instead of fearing the loss of control, i enjoyed every second of it.

After showering and drying my hair and doing all those 'human things' I reached for my make-up bag which was seldom used, and began to rummage through it, finally pulling out some black eyeliner, mascara and a dark brown eye shadow...all of which i hoped would create a seductive look. I wasn't quite sure what i was doing but how hard could it be?

Now for clothes, what do you wear to this kind of thing? A sleepover, (possibly more), with your vampire boyfriend. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but there was nothing conventional about our relationship anyway. I remembered the lingerie i had picked up in Port Angeles the last time i took a trip there, i had considered it a huge waste of money after weeks of being sexually frustrated and convinced Edward didn't find me sexually attractive but something in his voice earlier now began to prove me wrong. I was relieved.

I pulled out the black and red lacy lingerie set and put it down on the bed. Looking at it made my breathing heavy, i was nervous. What if Edward laughs at my lame efforts to impress him? What if i'm rejected again and end up wearing this for no reason? But then again... what if Edward ravishes me the minute he sees me? What if all our pent up frustration eventually comes to an end tonight? Deciding the pros outweighed the cons, i slipped the lingerie on and made my way to my wardrobe. I pulled out my little black dress, the dress i thought i'd never get to wear infront of Edward even though, like the lingerie, it was bought with him in mind. It clung to my body accentuating curves that i hadn't noticed i had until now, it was also strapless exposing quite alot of my neck. Maybe not a good idea considering it was one of Edward's weakness, or maybe it was the best idea i'd had for the last hour. Time would tell. My hair was down, left natural and loosely curled, Edward had always preferred it that way and i wanted to look more irresistible than ever to him tonight.

I gave myself one last pep talk aware of my hour running out quickly.

...Ok Bella, tonight could just about be the best night you'll ever have, or at least the one you've been waiting months for. Don't blow it, be calm and even if he wants to just talk or watch a movie... make him want you while he's doing it... Confidence Bella, be confident.

With that, the sound of gentle footsteps rung lightly in my ears. He's here. Breathe Bella.

'Exquisite...' And so it begins....
