Two weeks later I woke up to my stepmother shouting my name and banging on my door.

"Isabella! Jacob is here to see you!" She yelled My door swung open and she glared at me. "Get up!" She hissed. "Your father will not be pleased if you miss another of his visits"

"How many times do I have to tell you both that I'm not interested in Jacob Black?" I groaned

"Get up and be downstairs in fifteen minutes Bella"

As she left, closing the door behind her I felt my phone vibrate next to me .I picked it up smiling, knowing who it was.

I miss you… I need you… Good morning beautiful. Can we meet today?

My Edward… it had been 13 long days since I last saw him. I picked up my phone to respond.

Jacob is here again, I'll have to get back to you

I had barley pressed send before my phone started to ring. I laughed, knowing it was him.

"Hello.."

"I'm going to kill him." Edward seethed "I can't take this anymore baby"

"I know, I'm sorry…"

"So pack your shit, get in your car and get your sexy ass to Seattle already" he said frustrated

"You know I can't do that"

"Yes you can, you just won't" He sighed quietly "I can't stand the thought of him touching you, the thought of him trying to take what's mine."

Before I could respond I heard footsteps coming down the hall and my door swung open, Jacob smirking behind it.

"I hope you don't mind, your father said I could come up…"He smiled

"Is that fucking him! In your room!" Edward growled "Bella I'm getting in my car right now and I'm coming to get you!"

"No.. Don't . I'll call you later I have to go…" I said hanging up. My heart broke knowing how much this hurt him.

Reluctantly I agreed to let Jacob take me to breakfast, a simple meal couldn't hurt right? Or so I thought. By the time I finished my pancakes he was already proposing for the tenth time.

"No." I sighed. "I have told you time and time again that I am not interested in you that way Jake. You're a nice guy, I'm sorry If my father is pushing this on you, but I will never marry you."

Jacob laughed and shook his head, a cocky smirk on his face.

"You know as well as I do , that its not that simple Bella. Your father promised me your hand in marriage and I always get what I want"

Edwards idea about packing up and running to Seattle was becoming more and more tempting. Something about Jacob was off, he creeped me out, and being forced to spend time with him was weakening my already unstable relationship with Edward. I was ready for these games to end.

**EPOV

She hung up on me, and now here I was sulking on my couch trying to imagine where they were, what they were doing. After 13 long trying days working and missing her, I was alone for the first time. Stewing in my anger and jealousy. What made Jacob Black such a better choice for her than me? His father was Charlies best friend and former Enforcer. He was shot in the back during a drug deal gone wrong 6 six years ago and hasn't walked since. Jacob ultimately took his place and was just as involved in this life as I was.

So why him and not me?

Well that's a long story I suppose. My father Carlisle and Charles Swan were best friends growing up. Our grandfathers were running the business together at that point and introduced them when they were 5 years old. When they took over, my father took Seattle while Charlie covered the out skirts of the city. Nobody knows what really happened, only rumors and hearsay. But from what I've gathered over the years, money, power and greed destroyed their relationship quickly. I spent my entire life being separated from her, being told that she was the enemy. But one look into those big brown eyes was all it took to prove them wrong.

I knew who she was immediatley. She was it. My everything, in a matter of minutes. Emmet and I had spent the past few years getting lectures from my father, we could have any girl we wanted, just not those two. But one look at her, and I couldn't care less. She blushed and smiled and I was in love.

The best decision I've ever made was taking her outside that night. We had spent 3 hours flirting shamelessly and I needed to get her alone. Leading her out of the club I pulled her around the corner and into a dark alley way. Backing her into the brick wall I went in for the kiss. I knew the moment our lips touched that this girl was trouble and it only made me want her more.

"This is crazy, I can't believe I'm doing this.." She whispered between soft kisses.

"I know… but fuck Bella…" I sighed barley able to speak. I wrapped my arms around her waist, crushing my body to hers. "I'll stop if you want me to. I know that this is wrong but everything about this feels so fucking right"

After that, I was never the same. I wanted her forever, and I was going to do whatever I had to do to make that happen.

I sat with my phone in my hand for hours, waiting for her to call back. I paced my apartment back and forth, reliving memories of her here. I had taken her, made her mine, on every surface of this place. It was empty without her, almost painful. As the days went by it was becoming harder for me to not tell everyone the truth. The lieing and sneaking was getting old. All I wanted was to make her my wife, for us to finally be together. She belonged with me.

Finally the phone rang and I jumped for it.

"Hi baby" She sighed

"Baby where are you? What happened? Did he touch you? Are you ok?"

"Relax im fine… it was the same old conversation, He asked me to marry him again…l told him no and finished my pancakes." She laughed

"This isn't funny." He groaned "He wants to marry you Bella, how am I supposed to deal with that? Your supposed to marry me.."

"I know baby, its almost over…just hang on. You have to know that I don't want him… that you are the only man in this world that I want."

"Baby please come see me… please" I begged. I needed to touch her... kiss her beautiful lips. "I have to take one more run downtown with Emmet and I'll be home just please baby, come see me."

"ok ok… my parents are leaving for the airport to go check out the new house in about an hour, ill try to slip by the guards once they leave"

Two hours later I received a text from Bella that she would meet me at the penthouse in an hour. By the time I got there she had already arrived. I walked in and froze in shock. My beautiful girl was waiting for me in the most ridiculous excuse for a night gown that I had ever seen. See through black and lace all over, she was stunning.

"Hi baby… " She sighed and took a sip out of the glass of wine she was holding. I rushed to her wrapping my arm around her waist and breathing in her scent, I finally relaxed.

"Please baby, I can't do this anymore…" I groaned "Just stay with me… he can't get to you here, I'll keep you safe…"

"Shhh" She soothed running her hands through my hair. "3 more weeks…"

"Your parents won't even be home for a week, lets just do it now baby. I cant have that pig putting his hands on you. He's proposed to you 10 times Bella." I was angry, not with her, but the situation.

"Edward don't do this…"

"Come here I want to show you something…" I said pulling her into my bedroom. She sat on the bed and I pulled the velvet box out of my dresser drawer. I got down on one knee opening the box.

"You are the only woman I will ever want and need Bella. I want you to be my wife…. Please baby… will you marry me?"

I took her hand and squeezed it praying that she would respond.

"… yes…"She whispered so quietly that I thought I may have heard her wrong "Yes!" She smiled tears streaming down her face. She jumped off the bed, and into my arms giggling. I kissed her deeply trying to show her that she had just made me the happiest man alive.

"Will you move in with me while they are away? I can't spend another night without you.. its killing me."

"Ok, but we have to be careful Edward…it can't get back to my father until he is home, once I'm here I'll be safe but if he finds out…"

"don't worry baby , I'll keep you safe."

In three weeks the merger would go down and we wouldn't have to keep this quiet anymore. She was mine, and would be my wife, and there was nothing her father could do to stop it.

3 Years Ago

My girl was on the dance floor with Rose and Alice while I sat at the bar with the boys watching. Every man in that place had their eyes on our girls, just waiting to pounce. If only they knew that each one of us carried a loaded gun. One in particular had been staring at Bella, making his way closer and closer to her as the song went on. I lurched forward to grab him . Emmett grabbed the back of my jacket and pulled me away.

"Don't do it man." He yelled "If your dad finds out about this you will never see her again and you know it. So chill the fuck out, Bella can handle herself"

I watched as the sleeze ball slid his arms around her waist. She froze and looked over her shoulder. He whispered something in her ear and she looked disgusted, but before I could even take a step she had slapped him and stormed off the dance floor.

I reached out for her and pulled her to me. "Are you ok? What did he say to you!"

"Its fine, he was just being a perv" She laughed as her hands slid around my neck.

"I don't like other men touching you" He sulked

"Neither do I " she whispered in my ear. Her lips slowly made their way down my neck.

"Come home with me baby" He sighed "I need you in my bed"

"Is that all this is Edward? Sex…" She asked sadly

"Look at me" I sighed putting my hand on her cheek. Her brown eyes locked with mine. "Don't you even think like that! Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? You're the only girl I want Bella"

"Lets go home." She smiled.

Later that night in my bed I took my time undressing her. She was like a goddess, so sweet and beautiful. Her body was perfect, warm and soft and pink in all the right places. She was made just for me, I was sure of it.

Bella had been a virgin when they met and truthfully, I was glad. It turned me on endlessly to know that I was the only man to ever touch her, that nobody else would ever lay a finger on my baby.

"Touch me Edward, please its been so long…" Bella sighed. I smiled and let my hands trail down her naked body to her hips.

"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." I whispered as I slowly placed kisses all over her belly. "Did you miss me princess?"

"So So much Edward…. I couldn't stop thinking about last Saturday, this was the worst week ever, I hate being away from you" Her little voice rang out as I touched and kissed every inch of skin I could.

Last Saturday was reserved for Bella and I to finally have a night alone. I knew she was ready, but I wanted it to be special for her. So I took her to the nicest hotel I could find, I bought my girl flowers and lit candles, and worshipped her body all night long. The first time I slid inside her I knew I was in love with her , and that there would never be anyone else.

"What were you thinking about baby?" I teased her

"You… inside me" She whispered

"Does that make you wet baby? Thinking about me sliding deep inside you" I reached down n slid one finger over the tiny lace panties she was wearing.

"Yes…" She said shyly

"I know sweetheart, do you have any idea how many times I got myself off this week thinking about your sweet little pussy?"

"mmmm Please Edward…"

"Anything baby… you can have anything.." I moaned pulling her panties down and sliding into her. Home…. Finally home.
