POV: Edward

Chapter one

I was sitting in the rocking chair in Bella's bedroom, looking at her from a safe distance. I was ashamed to admit it, but ever since the afternoon we spent in the meadow, almost two weeks ago now, my control around her was slipping.

I had always wanted her and that day I had decided to throw all my restraint out the window and make love to her right then and there. It was Bella who had kept her head together and stopped me. It had amazed me at the time that she had the restraint to stop me, when I had completely lost control. Right now I was just frustrated by it.

The fact that Bella was back to shoving at my boundaries was only adding to my frustration. I wanted to give in, but I knew she would regret later if she hadn't held on to her resolve until after our wedding. It was obvious in every touch, every kiss. She wanted me badly, but she wanted to wait with this experience until the perfect moment even more.

I shook my head. Who would think our roles would be reversed so quickly? I sure never thought about it.

"Edward..," Bella whimpered softly and she threw her arm over her face.

I smiled. The best part of the night was about to start.

"Mmm…Oh…"

I frowned. This was new. She normally spoke clearly and depending on the coherency of her dreams it even made sense to me. This moaning was something I hadn't heard before and I was puzzled for a moment.

Then a new scent hit me and I knew what was happening. I stared at her in shock. Bella was having a sex dream.

"Oh…Edward…more…"

Well, at least she wanted me to loose my control in her dream.

This was going to be an interesting night. I held my breath to help me keep control. I sure as hell didn't want to ravage her in her sleep.

When Bella woke the next morning she looked around her room. Her eyes met mine and a warm, loving smile spread across her face.

"Why are you all the way over there?" she asked in a husky voice.

Wow. That sounded so delicious.

"Let's just say that I am trying desperately to protect your virtue."

I grinned when the little pucker appeared between her eyes.

"Explain," she breathed.

"Do you remember what you dreamed about last night?"

She shook her head slowly, her beautiful locks swirling, sending her scent over me in a fresh wave.

"Well, I think we were reaching far beyond our current physical boundaries," I whispered.

She blushed furiously and her eyes widened. Apparently some of it was coming back to her now. She put her hands over her face and groaned. She was embarrassed, but I could smell that the memory of her dream was also arousing her.

"Don't be embarrassed, honey. It was very enticing."

She spread her fingers and peered at me.

"And that is why you are still over there?" Her voice was little more than a breath.

I nodded. "I know you are still wet for me. I don't think I can stay away from you if I touch you now."

She bit her lip and dropped her hands into her lap. The sight of her lip between her teeth had always been arousing to me, but now it was simply unbearable.

"Bella," I croaked. "Would you please stop tempting me and release your lip?"

Her eyes widened before she did as I asked.

"That is tempting you? Seriously?"

I nodded and a dazzling smile spread across her face.

"Wow," she whispered.

"What are you thinking, love?"

"I'm amazed that my little nervous habit has that effect on you."

"I'm going to run home to get changed. I'll pick you up in half an hour."

I stood and headed for her window. Her whimper stopped me from jumping out. I turned to look at her.

"Don't I get a kiss?" she asked, her eyes pleading.

I clenched my fists, forcing myself to control my emotions. I slowly walked over to her, holding my breath. As I leaned in to kiss her, her face lit up, mischief in her eyes. I quickly pecked her on the lips and pulled back before she could pull me into her embrace.

"Edward," she cried petulantly.

"Sorry, love. I'll kiss you more thoroughly when I come to pick you up for your day with Alice. I promise."

"Ah! I forgot about that!"

Her face fell into a frown and I chuckled.

"See you soon."

She rolled her eyes before I turned and leapt from her window, sprinting full speed to my home.

I arrived home in under two minutes. When I busted into the front room I could hear Rosalie and Emmett upstairs, the images in her head were sickening and they were really not helping me out with me raging desire for Bella. I needed to get a grip before I went back to her.

"Hi Edward!" Alice chimed while she walked into the room.

"Alice," I said, pinching the bridge of my nose to try and block out my siblings upstairs.

"Are you okay bro?" Jasper asked in obvious amusement.

"Help me out here, Jazz. I'm going mental."

Jasper snickered, he had felt my mood and I was grateful that he decided to calm me down.

"I just hope it'll last long enough," he said with a wink.

"Me too."

I headed upstairs to change, but when I came into my room the calm that Jasper had sent my way, was gone.

"Cold shower," I muttered before I headed to the bathroom.

Emmett and Rose were getting dressed, so at least their lustful thoughts were gone, but my memory of last night was making it nearly impossible to get a grip in myself.

The ice cold water didn't help one bit, so in total despair I put my hand on my erection and stroked myself to the much needed release.

I felt guilty in the back of my mind, but I didn't linger on it. It was time to go and get Bella and this was the only way I could sit in a car with her without forcing myself on her.

I quickly got dressed and headed back to Forks to get Bella.

~*~

I had dropped Bella off at the mall in Olympia where Alice was already waiting. Alice had done some shopping for herself and was now waiting anxiously for Bella. She was humming the wedding march and in her mind I could see that Bella would be blushing a lot today. They were going to buy the lingerie for the wedding and the honeymoon. I diverted my thoughts as soon as I realized where they were headed.

"Alice, please stop thinking about that," I whispered, too low for Bella to hear.

Alice blanked out for a moment and I saw her vision when she did. If she kept imagining Bella in lingerie I wouldn't be able to control myself and simply drag Bella into the back of my Volvo and take her there. I snapped my teeth together and growled softly. This was too much.

Alice snapped out of it and waved her finger at me. "Tut, tut, tut, Edward. Keep yourself in check," she scolded and thankfully her mind shifted to singing an unfamiliar song.

Bella was looking at me in surprise and then back at Alice.

"What did I miss?" she asked.

"I'll tell you later, Bella. If I do now I just might get you and Edward into more trouble than I can get you out of," Alice answered before I could open my mouth.

"Edward, you go and see Jasper about hunting or something."

I rolled my eyes, kissed Bella one last time and headed back home. The last thing I wanted to do was hunt, but I knew Alice was right.

~*~

Jasper and Emmett were waiting for me when I got back. Alice had obviously called them.

"Hey, kiddo. You okay?" Emmett asked, genuinely concerned.

"Alice was nearly killing me with her imagination," I growled.

"She's been acting a little strange all night," Jasper admitted.

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't read her mind, so I don't know why, but she was getting all excited and very aroused when she had one of her visions. I haven't got a clue what it was about, but she refused to have sex with me, despite the raging desire that she felt."

He shook his head, clearly confused.

"Whoah! Are you kidding me? Alice refused you?" Emmett boomed.

Jasper nodded, feeling miserable enough to affect us.

"Jazz, could you try to stop feeling so depressed?" I pleaded.

He shook his head and tried to clear his mind. I was grateful that the feeling of misery faded after a couple of minutes.

"So, are we hunting?" Emmett asked eventually.

"Yeah, might be a good idea." Jasper said, his voice still sounding down.

"Let's go." I said.

~*~

When we returned from our hunting trip the girls and Carlisle were chatting animatedly. Apparently Bella and Alice had run into Jessica at the mall an she invited the girls to come to a party she would host tonight. She had begged them to take me and Jasper with them.

"So, will you guys join us?" Alice asked, practically bouncing up and down in her seat.

"Like you don't know the answer to that." I chided.

"Yay! We already got ourselves an outfit after Jess asked us."

Bella smiled at me and winked. She pointed a finger at her forehead and rolled her eyes. I snickered. Yep, Alice was indeed a little crazy.

"I already asked Charlie if I could stay over at your place, because I expect we won't get home early. To my extreme surprise he didn't even object. He was actually a little bit too excited. I think he had some plans he didn't want me to know about."

I sat down next to her and pulled her onto my lap, nuzzling in her hair.

"I'm glad. Can I see your outfit before tonight?"

"Edward! Of course not!" Alice cried.

"Why not?"

"It's a surprise."

"Fine. I'll wait."

She smiled a smug smile and towed Jasper upstairs. I groaned when I saw the intention in her mind.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked.

"It's nothing. I just don't want to know what Jazz and Alice are up to right now."

She mouthed an "O" and then snuggled into my chest.

I wrapped my arms around her and closed my eyes, enveloping myself in her scent and completely forgetting about my other family member for a moment.

Rosalie brought me from my reverie when she cleared her throat.

"Bella, would you let me do your hair for tonight," she asked a little timidly.

Bella's head snapped up and she looked startled.

"Are you serious?" she asked in a piqued voice.

"Yes. I just want to do something with you. Get to know my soon to be sister a little better. And besides, Alice is elsewhere involved and I can't let the chance to snatch a make over from her pass, now can I?"

Bella snickered. "Sure. Let's go."

"Girls," Esme said hesitantly. "Mind if I take care of the make-up?"

Bella beamed at her. "Of course! I've been attacked by Alice all day, I could really do with your company for a while."

She kissed me lightly before crawling off my lap and heading up the stairs with Rosalie and Esme.

"This is a nice change," Carlisle noted.

"Sure is," Emmett said.

I just smiled. Rosalie had really surprised us all in a positive way.

"I'm glad that the girls get a chance to bond." I told them and they nodded their heads in agreement.
