THIS CHAPTER IS IN RESPONSE TO A REVIEW I RECEIVED ASKING HOW EDWARD WAS COPING WITH ESME. THIS IS THE AFTERMATH OF HIS FIRST TIME. SORRY AGAIN FOR THE WAIT.

Edward reached his climax in a violent way grabbing Esme and pinning her to what was left of the bed. After a few minutes he regained continousness and looked at the woman beneath him and said.

"I am so sorry Esme. I don't know what came over me. You have to know I would never hurt you." He said with concern.

Esme reached a hand up and placed it on his cheek. "I know you would never. You have nothing to explain. Carlisle and I knew that it would be like this for you. That is why we did this swap because you can't hurt me unless you somehow managed to light the house on fire." She said seriously at first then joking to listen the mood.

They both shared a laugh. Then Edward got off of Esme and sat beside her. He started to look around at the demolished room and suddenly he felt panic set in. What if he had been with Bella? He thought. He surely would have killed her. He then though about her with Carlisle and wondered of he had hurt her. Esme had seen the concern on Edwards face and began to speak.

"What are you thinking Edward? Please tell me." She said with a comforting tone.

"I was just thinking that if you where Bella I would not have been able to control my thirst. I would have killed her and I was wondering if Carlisle would be able to do this without hurting Bella." He said truthfully.

Esme then pulled him in for a compassionate hug and told him. "You made the right choice for both you and Bella. I didn't want to tell you this before now but while you where unpacking I received a text from Carlisle. He knew that you would be worried so he wanted to let me know that all went well." Esme said reassuring Edward.

"Bella wasn't hurt physically was she?" He asked.

"No and she was peaceful afterwards when she went to sleep. So she did not seem to Carlisle as though she was emotionally hurt either." She replied.

"Thank you Esme. How are you doing emotionally?" He inquired concerned.

"I am doing well. This was actually a pleasant change from Carlisle. There is only so many new positions in the kama sutra and only so many costumes you can try to spice things up." She said again both seriously and joking again. "More importantly how are you coping?"

"I am doing well too. Though I didn't realize how much pent up frustration I had before. I actually feel like this swap is a good thing for all four of us." He said.

"I do too. So are we just going to ignore the mess you made of this wonderful house or are we going get cleaning?" She asked.

"The mess I made?" He looked at her questioning.

"Hey this was far from being my first time. I didn't break a single thing apart from your clothes. Besides I said that we will clean up not just you." She laughed nudging him.

They then got to work cleaning which took a little longer than normal for vampires as they where both still naked and stopped to kiss frequently. But it still took them less than an hour to further disassemble the furniture and vacuum the rest could be done by the maid.

They then sat down in the living room and Esme said. "I know a good hunting spot. After the sun goes down and we get dressed we should go."

"Sounds like a plan." Said looking more forward to the rest of the trip now than before.

THE NEXT CARTER WILLBE BACK TO BELLA AND CARLISLE.
