Fool Me Twice

Chapter 1 – New Years Eve 2007

The first time I met Edward Cullen, I really was unprepared for the ramifications of our tryst. The sex was crap, but the man was definitely unforgettable. His beauty was like no man I had met before, and he paid attention to me. However, after that night my life became very complicated. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been so eager to fall so quickly into his arms and then into my bed.

He was confident, reassuring and incredibly sexy. I never really stood a chance with his come-hither messy, bronze tinted hair and his beautiful, picturesque face. His strong, chiselled jaw line and kissable, pouty lips, which I so desperately wanted to, feel as they crushed against mine in a deep and passionate kiss. Even his voice was pure seduction to me; so velvety smooth, I swear I almost came undone just by listening to him. His voice was a mixture of velvet and silk rolled into one. I could have just wrapped myself in him and let him talk all night. Of course, everything he said was total shit, and he didn't mean a word of it, but his voice could make you believe the world was square.

The first time I met him was in a nightclub. That should have been warning bell number one. Rosalie, my old roommate, always said never hook up with a guy you met in a nightclub; make sure you get a date out of him first before you let anything happen. Rosalie would have killed me if she ever found out what I did. She was now living in Seattle with Emmett, the love of her life.

See I was getting a new roommate in the New Year, Emmett's younger sister, Alice. When Alice got a job at the magazine where I work, we all agreed that she should move in with me.

Her boyfriend, Jasper, is one of my oldest friends. I have known him since my early days at university here in New York, when I was at my lowest. I met his sister, Rosalie later, when she became my roommate. We also became good friends. She is the most stunning woman I know.

I had not yet met Alice or Emmett, so I was unsure what either of them looked like. To be honest, I didn't even know their surname because they were only ever talked about by their first names.

Someone persuaded me into going out with a gang of the girls from work. I am not really one for the nightclub scene. I was home alone and they gave me a whole sob story of how one of the girls was ill, and it would have been a wasted ticket. But Angela was the one who finally convinced me to go. It was her going away party. On New Year's Eve, the ticket was expensive so I threw caution to the wind.

I got myself dolled up and wore an extremely revealing dress that I was uncomfortable wearing. I was going out with some stunning women, so I needed a good confidence booster. The heels I wore were so high that it was a wonder I did not get a nosebleed with the altitude change. Or even worse fall and break my neck.

We had a meal first at a nice Italian restaurant near the club. One of the waiters flirted shamelessly with me and gave me a wonderful confidence boost. Neither Heidi nor Gianna were impressed with the male attention I received. I did not understand why. I just attributed it to the fact that they were probably trying to woe Heidi and Gianna, who were by far the most attractive gals out of our group. We finally hit the nightclub at about ten when it was starting to fill up nicely.

Angela and I decided to stand at the bar and let the rest of the women to prowl for their unsuspecting prey. Boy, did I feel sorry for the guys out there; these girls were savages.

"I don't think Heidi or Gianna like me very much," I said, sighing heavily as we stood by the bar.

"They're just jealous." She laughed, shaking her head at my comment. Then she added, "You look amazing in that outfit."

"I feel like a tart in this outfit," I said as I pulled it up to cover my breasts, and then pulled it back down to cover my bare legs.

"You look good," she replied. She ordered another round of drinks before we had even finished her last.

After we had a few drinks, Angela decided she wanted to dance. ; ;I was slightly drunk myself; I felt confident enough and joined her. We found a nice little spot where we boogied away the hours. I had my eyes closed as I bounced to the music. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find Angela lip locked with a very smartly dressed man.

My feet were killing and so I sauntered over to the bar and ordered two shots of tequila. I downed them a little too hastily before finding a good spot to watch people shake their stuff on the dance floor.

When I reached the rail, I leaned on it with my arm, quickly pulled my shoes off, and then sighed in relief as the pain eased instantly. I closed my eyes and swayed slightly with the music, getting lost in the rhythm of the song. I stayed like that for a couple of songs, not once opening my eyes to see what was going on around me.

The air around me suddenly changed. It felt heavy and denser; I could almost hear the static charge. I would have sworn we were about to get a thunderstorm

The electricity was crackling intensely around me. Then I felt a warm gush of air across my bare back and it made me shudder, not from fear, but from anticipation.

Moments ago I'd felt calm and relaxed, and then suddenly I felt uneasy and caged in. My hands started feeling clammy and for some strange reason my heart was beating like a freight train.

I opened one eye and slowly turned my head towards where the hot air came from, and then embarrassed myself as I gasped loudly.

The guy who stood before me had to be a male super model. He looked like he belonged in the movies. He was too beautiful to be real.

"Sorry I did not mean to disturb you," he said and smiled apologetically at me, "but you were so still I just making sure you were real."

"Yes I'm real," I said and returned his smile. I felt slightly awed by his beauty.

"Good. I'm glad," he said as he gently brushed his knuckles against my face. I jumped the instant his knuckles touched me. An electrical current raced through my body.

"You shocked me," I accused and then pouted sulkily as my fingers gingerly rubbed the place he had touched on my face.

"It wasn't intentional," He coughed to try and hide his amusement. "I must have created some static."

"Either that or you're just sizzling full stop." What the fuck did I say that for? I mentally kicked myself.

"Would you like to know?" he asked and raised his eyebrow at me suggestively.

"What before I even know your name?" I teased, my cheeks heated up. "What kind of girl do you think I am?"

"I am hoping to find out," He said and leaned a lot closer towards me.

"I'm Bella by the way," I said and held my hand out to shake his.

"I'm Edward," he said and took my hand in his giving me another electric shock, and then he leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "What's your poison?"

"I'll have a double Jack and coke please," I said and shuddered as his mere presence sent shivers down my spine.

"Ok," He said and turned to the bar.

I watched him as he walked to the bar even though my vision was slightly clouded from drink. I watched the way his ass moved in his trousers and absentminded licked my lips. I wondered what he looked like naked, whether he had a hairy chest and whether his ass looked just as good naked as it did fully clothed. His hair was messy and quite long for a man; I wonder what he did for a living.

I bet he's a spy. He looked like a guy who would say "My name's Edward and I'm licensed to thrill." I smirked to myself as I thought about him thrilling me anytime. When he saw Gianna and Heidi I would definitely be out of his mind then.

I was still deep in my negative thoughts when he came back with my drink and it looked bigger than a double. Was he trying to get me drunk? I thought unable to stop the smile that spread across my face at the thought of him as he had his wicked way with me. What an interesting night this turned out to be after all.

As we stood against the rail, drinks in hand, we made small talk but as I looked into his eyes I could see the hunger in them. I looked away a couple of times and took a sip of my drink before I did something totally out of character and let him to take me in the crowded nightclub. Before I knew it, my drink was empty and so was his. He took the glass out of my hand and put it on a near by table. Then he turned back to face me, I opened my mouth to say something but before the words formed, he crushed his body against mine and kissed me aggressively in the most incredible kiss I had ever received in my life.

My mind turned to mush as I my lips touched his and our tongues started greedily exploring each other when an involuntary moan escaped from my mouth. He took this as a sign to take the next step and let his hands roam freely down my body until they reached my hips and he pulled me flush against him. The sensation of his gentle touch moving over my body was overwhelming, but when my already throbbing centre made contact with his very obvious erection, it almost sent me over the edge. My whole body was on fire and I could barely breath. I reached for his head and grabbed his silky soft hair.

He suddenly jumped away from me, his breathing was heavy and shock evident on his face. I looked at him, stunned, as I tried to catch my own breath; my heart beat was rapid as I stared at him, my eyes wide in my own shock.

"I need to go to the bathroom," he muttered and just stalked off. I stood dumbfounded. What the hell had just happened?

I felt two hands grab my arms tightly, and then the smell of cheap perfume assaulted my nostrils. I turned my head and noticed Heidi on one side of me and Gianna on the other.

"What did he want?" Gianna sneered, her eyes flashing angrily at me.

"We were just talking." I said, what was her problem?

"Don't believe a word he says," Heidi piped up and then gave me a tight smile.

"Do you know him?" I asked out of curiosity.

"He's a regular like us," Heidi replied. "He always leaves with a different woman."

"Thank you for the warning." I smiled back at her.

"So are you going to leave him alone?" Gianna asked.

"No, I don't think so," I said after thinking about it for a couple of seconds.

"You won't see him again you know," Gianna said glaring at me.

"I'll take my chances," I said."Who knows? I might be the one."

"Yeah, right." Gianna sneered again.

"Look Gianna, Do you have a problem with me?" I asked, irritated by her. I knew deep down she was right though. But I could dream.

"No, we are just looking out for you." Heidi replied with a fake smile then looked over my shoulder, before turning back."Just think about what we said before you do anything you might regret tomorrow."

"I will, thank you," I said as they walked off. I sighed heavily and thought about the information they had given me. All that went out of the window the minute I felt his strong arms wrap around me and pulled me to him.

"Would you like to get out of this joint?" Edward whispered in my ear, and then gently nipped it. I could not stop the soft moan that escaped me, as his tongue gently licked the outline of my ear.

"Yesss," I hissed as my body tingled and shook slightly with need. He laughed gently against my ear.

"Let's go," he said and pulled on my hand as we escaped the nightclub.

My eyes started searching for a cab when we got outside, but Edward had a different idea. Instead he dragged me down the street, where a group of cars were parked. I looked at him confused, "Where are we going?"

"I came in my car tonight," he replied. "So I thought I would give you a lift home."

"That's cool," I said. I was slightly worried when I got in. Had he had a lot to drink? I kept my mouth shut.

As we reached a black car, he pressed a button, and then opened the passenger door for me. I slid in as he rushed around to the other side and got in. He turned to look at me, about to say something. Instead he put his hand around the back of my neck and pulled my face towards his, and then brushed his lips against mine a couple of times. Finally he crushed his mouth against mine and repeating the kiss we shared in the night club.

One hand was planted firmly at the back of my head, as his other hand started gently massaging my breast. I felt my nipples harden the instant he touched them. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue gently traced my bottom lip, and then he pulled away.

"Where do you live?" he asked.

I gave him my address and he gave me a strange look. He then looked out at the traffic and pulled out onto the road.

To say we were in New York, he still drove quite fast. We talked a little about how long I had been in New York. How I had yet to visit the museums and the Statue of Liberty. He told me we would go together sometime.

Then before long, we were near my apartment building. "It's the next building on your left and the second entrance is the parking garage." I said, as I opened my bag for the card. "This is my pass to get in the garage"

"I don't need that," he said. "I'll park on the street."

"Ok," I replied.

He parked the car on the street and up and we got out of the car in silence. He followed me into the building. Luckily, an elevator was waiting for us on the ground floor. We stepped into the elevator I pressed the button for my floor and the door closed.

Edward spun me around and pushed me against the wall and kissed my neck roughly. His stubble prickled and tickled my sensitive skin. I leaned my head back and gave him better access. "You taste divine." He growled against my neck. "Almost good enough to eat."

I was so lost in the sensation of him kissing my neck, I did not hear the elevator door ping open. He pulled away and dragged me into the hallway.

"Which one's yours?" he asked.

"I'm first on the left number forty-two," I said as I got my key out. I tried to open the door as he brushed my hair to one side and started nibbling on my neck again. I groaned in frustration. All I wanted to do was unlock the door and get naked with this amazing guy, who was making my girlie parts ache so desperately. He suddenly stopped what he was doing, took the key out of my hand, and unlocked the door for me.

He opened the door and let me in first, I switched the light on. I told him where to put the key. I dropped my purse onto the couch and then quickly kicked my shoes off. When I turned to him; he was staring at me intently, his eyes were vibrant green. As he continued to stare at me, they darkened with lust. I gulped as he strode purposefully towards me. His mouth claimed mine aggressively.

As we kissed, I started to unbutton his shirt, my finger shook more with each button. I wanted to feel his naked skin as I caressed him with my finger tips. I heard him moan as I pulled his shirt off. Feeling brave, I started kissing and sucking his nipples. He pulled me away slightly and looked me in the eye.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked.

I just nodded my head, unable to speak.

"Where's the bedroom?" he asked. I took his hand and lead him to my bedroom door. He opened it and then he scooped me up in his arms. I giggled as he carried me into my bedroom.

He threw me onto my bed and quickly undressed. He signalled with his fingers for me to follow his lead.

Once we were both naked, we climbed onto the bed next to each other. I gulped nervously as we looked at each other.

"Are you definitely sure about this?" he asked again.

"Yes I am sure," I said huskily. "Now kiss me."

He did not need telling twice, his mouth came down on mine hard. His hands slowly moved down my body, until they rested on my breast. He fondled my breasts, gently tweaking the nipples a couple of times. Then his hand moved lower until he reached my aching core. He gently put a finger into me, accidentally grazing my clit in the process and causing me to give out a little moan.

He chuckled saying, "You are so ready for me."

He withdrew his finger, and then quickly got off the bed. He picked up his pants and pulled a condom out of a pocket. I heard the ripping of the foil. He fumbled as he put it on, and then got back onto the bed.

In a blink of an eye he was on top of me, and then in me. He moaned involuntarily as he started gliding in and out of me. He built up speed and depth with every thrust and I matched each thrust with my own. I wriggled my hips slightly, as I tried to find the right position for me to get some kind of friction.

His thrusts got faster and his breathing heavier. He grunted loudly and then thrust as far into me as he could. I felt him pulse inside of me when he came.

He rested his head on my shoulder as he breathed heavily. "Thank you." Was all he said as he gently pulled out of me. He made sure his condom stayed in place. Then he asked where the bathroom was and I pointed him in the right direction. While he was gone, I could not help the tears that formed in my eyes. I suddenly realised that maybe Gianna and Heidi were right. I felt so unsatisfied that I wanted to cry in frustration. I heard my door creak open and Edward walked back in, and then lay down next to me.

He wrapped his arm around me and started kissing me again. He rolled me over, and then moved his hand lower again. I knew we were going to have a rematch. I hoped that this time would be better. Ha! This time was even worse, because he quickly put his condom on and entered me without even seeing if I was ready. This time though I managed to get the friction I needed but he still came before I had chance to and he left me hanging.

After this session, he fell asleep but it took me a while to drop off. I had so many thoughts running through my head. I eventually fell asleep but my dreams were dark and oppressive.

When I woke up, the sun was shining through the window. I reached for my cell to find out what time it was and nearly had a heart-attack was 11:30. I had really overslept I sat up in bed, rubbed my hands over my face to try to get some coherence then it hit me. Where is Edward?

I jumped out of my bedroom and hurried into the living room, then through to the kitchen. I looked around for a sign that he was still here but there was nothing, not even a note. I realised then that I was a total fool. I felt tears spring to my eyes just as the intercom went off. Oh shit, my new roommate is moving in today.

I went to answer it. "Hello?" I asked.

"Bells, open this door now and let us up," a voice teased.

"Jasper?" I asked, suddenly bubbling with excitement.

"And Alice." A female voice piped up. "And my brother Edward who is helping me move in too."
