It has been almost two months since I started to work at Esme's. Despite all of my qualms about white tulle, roses, lace, puffy dresses, and anything that has to do with weddings in general, I loved my job. It was absolutely amazing working with my sisters; which is how Esme and I saw each other.

We were going crazy with planning so many weddings. There are only four of us and we. rarelyWe can rarely get the men to help us. We currently have four weddings. Two of them are within the family, and the other two are pretty extravagant. Actually, Alice is going completely over the top with hers too. She has her dress picked out, and it's was beautiful. It is was a Kristie Kelly for Disney design. It had a v-neck, with simple straps, and a drop waist. The skirt was huge, and . It was made of a gorgeous white satin, and Swarovski crystal beading detailing on the top. It was excessive, but so Alice.

My wedding, on the other hand, was going to be pretty simple. Carlisle and I had decided on simple black and white, with a purple accent. My dress was a strapless sheath with a black sash. My bouquet was going to be purple with white flowers to match and the centerpieces matched. My bridesmaids' dresses were black and varied in design. I was so happy with how everything was going. I actually enjoyed planning weddings. I think if Edward would have been told that I was not only planning my own wedding, but others' weddings as well, he would have died of laughter, if that was possible.

I left the shop around five o'clock and headed home. I had been away from Carlisle all day and I really missed him. Lately we had been spending a lot of time apart. He had taken a job at the hospital again. A fellow ER doctor had been fired, and Carlisle had agreed to help with his shifts. Today was the first time that Carlisle had a whole day off, and I needed the time with him. I really needed the time with him.

A couple miles from the house, I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw a sleek black Mercedes pull up behind me. The bright blonde hair was a dead giveaway. I stepped on the gas, and the growl of my engine felt great. I looked back and smirked when I saw him closing in on me. I saw the opening to our driveway and accelerated more, turning. I turned quickly when I reached driveway. He followed, and I navigated down the road, Carlisle following. He followed right behind me. We both pulled into the garage and he did too. I killed the engine. I was standing beside Carlisle's car within two seconds. The smirk on his face was way too teasing, and I was close to grabbing his collar as soon as he was out of his car. He stood in front on me,. He pulled my hips towards him, and our lips crashed our lips together. I moaned into his mouth, and he pulled away. I tried to pull him back to me, but he kept me at arm's length. I glared at him.

"Baby, just not here," he whispered. I still glared at him. I didn't want to wait to move. "Em and Rose have spent way too much time in here, and I really don't want to get caught," he said. I nodded, understanding what he was saying. I grabbed his hand and raced out the side door into the forest. We could hunt and have sex. It was a win-win for both of us.

We took off, heading north for a couple miles, and stopped when we came to a small stream. He launched across and landed after a tight backflip. I gracefully jumped over and landed next to him. We ran a little while longer, until we were sure that none of our family would see us. He turned around to me and I reached for his shirt. I pulled it apart, sending buttons flying in every direction. He shrugged out of it and pulled my t-shirt over my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down to the soft dirt ground. He hovered over me, and I noticed that his eyes were no longer gold. The gleamed a dark brown, bordering on black. I loved the look that he was giving me. He lowered his mouth to my chest and started to pepper my skin with kisses. I racked my nails down his back and a slight hiss escaped his mouth.

His hands worked their way down my body and slid my jeans off. of my cold body. He tossed them to the side as his mouth ran a trail down my torso. He stopped above the top of my lacy boy shorts. He pressed a gentley kiss into me and grabbed the fabric with his teeth. He pulled them off of me in one quick movement and. He threw them off to the side. I looked up into the sky to try and avoid looking at him. He was going to have me screaming within seconds if I watched.

I felt his breathe right next to me and had to force myself to hold still. He pressed a kiss to me and moved lower and closer to the place I needed him. He moved once , and I felt his tongue move around me and then finally enter me. I moved when I felt his finger replace his tongue. He added another, and I was so close to coming I couldn't help, but whimper. My hips started to buck on their own. He took my clit into his mouth and twisted it around with his glorious tongue. He hummed around me and I felt the tightening in my stomach increase to a point where I was in pain. Then heHe curled his fingers inside me and I came, screaming his name to the forest around us.

He crawled up my body and kissed me. I could still tasted myself on him, and couldn't believe how amazing that I tasted on him. I took advantage of his distraction to rid him of his work slacks and plaid boxers. Those flew into the forest somewhere. We could deal with that later. He didn't leave my lips while he s and slowly entered me. He was so hard, and I wish I could have done more to help him, but I was far too selfish. He would have to do most of the work himself.

He pulled out almost all of the way and then slammed back into me. He kept up a pace that would have killed any human. He was a beautiful man, and I loved every single inch of him. He kept going and going until he had me worked up into a frenzy again. I looked up at into his eyes and I could see how hard he was trying to hold holding back. He had such amazing self control it was insane.

I pulled his bottom lip into my mouth and sucked gently. I felt him start to shake with the intensity of his building orgasm. I knew I wasn't going to last much longer either.. I kissed him asand I felt myself tighten around him. My muscles shuddered, and I was in heaven. While I was in a colorful haze within my own mind, I felt him release. I looked up and saw the look of complete ecstasy on his I came down from my high and he looked relaxed. He pulled out of me and collapsed at my side.

While our breathing went back to normal, I looked up at the sky. It was still clear and there was one lone cloud drifting around my point of view. I tilted my head over and saw Carlisle's amber eyes staring back at me. He smiled, and then stood up. He reached his hand out for me, pulling me up too. I saw my clothes and quickly redressed. Carlisle left for a couple seconds, and when he returned he had his slacks on and he was holding his ruined shirt in his hand. I chuckled at it.

"I really liked this shirt," he said, looking down at the fabric. I giggled. He wrapped his hand around mine and we started to run off together. But before we had left the little clearing we were just in I noticed another vampire scent and I could have sworn I saw a pair of muddy brown, almost gold, eyes looking at me. I shook off the uneasy feeling I was getting.

"I think we should split up while we hunt quickly," he said. I nodded and headed off in one direction as he took off in another. I ran for about a minute before I smelt a scent that would be good. I headed off west and followed the scent in in the air. I slowed to a quick jog as I spotted the giant black bear that was eating a couple of the freshly formed berries on a nearby bush. I crawled close to the ground until I was a couple of feet in front of him. He had his back to me when I pounced, and. I went for the main vein. I ripped it in two and started to drain him of life. His heartbeat began to slow and eventually stopped. left the carcass to the local scavengers. I headed towards the house and Carlisle ran up beside me as I neared it. We slowed to a walk as the edge of the forest approached. We walked out of the forest hand in hand. I spotted the guys and Rose in the living room. Alice and Esme were still at the shop.

We walked into the house. I started to head towards the living room where the rest of the family was until Carlisle stopped me. He nodded toward our dirty clothes. I understood and we both ran upstairs. We took separate showers and dressed quickly. I threw on a pair of distressed faded skinny jeans and a red fitted flannel shirt then I brushed my hair and ran downstairs. I sat down on the couch and watched the movie with that others were watching. I saw Carlisle come down the stairs every time I see him he always takes my breath away, and this time was no different. His hair was still wet, and it was curling at the ends. He had on a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt that showed off his hair color. He sat down next to me and I curled up next to him. I had missed him the past couple of days while our schedules had kept us from each other.

"Dad," groaned Jasper. I looked at Carlisle and he smirked. He had become less and less able to control himself lately. He pulled me a little closer to him. "Carlisle!" snapped Jasper.

"Sorry son," smirked Carlisle. I saw an extremely disgruntled Jasper stand and leave the room, his footsteps telling told me he was heading upstairs. Emmett, Rosalie, and Marcus remained in the room with us.

"You know Dad, I am very impressed," declared Emmett. We both looked over at him. I had no idea where this was going, and I was nervous. Emmett was usually unfiltered.

"Why is that?" inquired Carlisle.

"You have become quite the sex addict. And you two are very bad at hiding it," he said evenly.

I looked at Carlisle and saw the horrified expression on his face. He quickly replaced it with a calm, flat one. "Emmett, what my fiancé and I do in our spare time is none of your business," he replied coldly.

"But it's so hard not to notice, Dad," he teased. I looked over and saw Carlisle gritting his teeth. He was getting aggravated.

"Then keep the information to yourself. You don't have to share your knowledge with everybody in the family," warned Carlisle. I tried to get him to calm down by rubbing the back of his hand. He breathed in and out a couple times, but Emmett continued his teasing.

"Oh come on, I'm proud of you! Just keep it down. Bella there, screams," he said, nodding to me. I froze and glared at him.

"You did not just say that," I hissed at my big brother. He smirked and nodded at me.

"I'm just saying," he continued.

"I believe all he is trying to say is that the whole family doesn't appreciate hearing your guys' sexual exploits," interjected Marcus. I whipped my head towards him. He had no right to say that. I heard Carlisle growl lightly.

"I know that we are not the only ones who share our, as you put it, exploits. I believe that every couple in this house has been loud one time or another. Often on more than one occasion," responded Carlisle.

"Dad, even Rose and I aren't that loud," declared Emmett.

"Emmett, you and Rose are quiet compared to Alice and Jasper," I stated. Everybody in the room nodded.

"Even though you two aren't the loudest, please try to respect everybody else," snapped Marcus. Carlisle's posture become pretty rigid ridged and I knew that he needed to calm down. He was losing control of himself.

"That is enough! You two, stop the war. What is up with you two?" I asked Carlisle. I stood up and then turned to Marcus. They both looked like they were ready to rip the others' throat out.

"It's nothing Bella. Don't worry," said Carlisle. He was trying to get me to drop the subject. I wasn't going to have any of that .

"No, Carlisle. What is going on between you?" I asked again.

"Nothing that concerns you," hissed Marcus. I glared at him and made sure he knew I wasn't buying it.

"What is wrong with you two?" I hissed and turned to Carlisle, "And you, you better tell me what is going on. This is not you."

Rosalie walked out the back door. I heard her dialing her cell phone. Emmett walked over to Carlisle's side. I continued to hold my ground. He would explain himself now.

"Isabella," whispered Carlisle. I glared at him. I would not be treated like a child. He realized this.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

"Oh, you two have a lot to be sorry for," uttered Marcus. Carlisle stepped up to me and pulled me closer to him.

"And what does that mean?" I asked. Marcus rolled his eyes and looked irritated.

"You two had an affair behind the back of a woman who you have said meant everything to you. You, Carlisle, vowed to love her for all of eternity. And you, Bella, have said on many occasions that Esme was a mother to you, and yet you went and had sex with the man who was your father!" declared Marcus.

Rosalie entered the room again and came over to my side. She told me that the rest of the family was on their way home. Jasper had also come back to the living room. It was a good thing he had. This was headed towards disaster.

"Do not make this sound like either one of us are perverts," I screamed.

"But yet that is the only word I can find to describe you two," he announced.

I felt a wave of calm hit me, but I pushed it away. Jasper wasn't going to be able to end this. Apparently, Marcus hadn't gotten used to Jasper's talent yet, because he seemed to calm down.

By the time Esme and Alice arrived home, fifteen minutes later, nothing had changed. We were still arguing and both parties were getting increasingly aggravated.

Esme ran into the house and stood in between the three of us. She looked pissed. "You have got to be kidding me!. When Rosalie called me and told me you three were fighting, I thought it was prank. Carlisle, why would do something like this?" asked Esme. We stood there in total disbelief. She was taking Marcus's side. She had known us for far longer, and yet she took his side.

"Esme, believe me when I say this, I want no more of this," stated Carlisle through clenched teeth.

"Then prove it to me. Shake hands and walk away," suggested Esme. I became tense at her suggestion. If these two men touched, I highly doubted it would be friendly.

She looked between us. Trying to will one of us to come forward and be the bigger person.

"Do it," she hissed. I had never seen Esme this mad. I nudged Carlisle forward. He gave in and crossed the room. He extended his hand. Marcus looked at it and then surrendered. They shook, and quickly walked away from each other.

Carlisle took my hand and guided me upstairs. We went to our room on the third floor and shut the door. I let go of his hand, and motioned for him to sit on the bed. He obliged, and I stood in front of him.

"Are you kidding me Carlisle? What has gotten into you?" I asked. He hung his head and I heard him mumble an apology.

"No, I'm not just going to take an apology. Tell me what is going on between you two!" I demanded.

"Bella, it's nothing that you have to worry about," he said trying to reassure me. I glared at him.

"Carlisle, you two were very close to killing each other. Tell me, now!" I demanded. He sighed and looked up at me through his lashes.

"A little over a month ago, Marcus approached me and called me a pedophile. He also said that I had never loved Esme. That I was disgusting," he reveled. I nodded urging him to continue.

"He was doing it again today. I can't take that. I love you and this family. I would do anything for any of you," he sighed. I nodded and sat down next to him. He looked into my eyes. The hurt I saw in his crushed me. He had lost a little of my trust, but this hurt to see.

"Was that what happened the day you drove up and down the coast?" I asked. He nodded and I leaned over to him. I swung my legs into his lap and pulled myself closer to him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. He looked as if he was going to cry.

"I didn't want you to be disappointed in me. I could have controlled myself, but I didn't," he confessed. I pulled away so I could look him in the eyes.

"Carlisle, I wouldn't have been disappointed. I am upset and disappointed in you now. You should have told me, trusted me to understand," I stated. He hung his head. I put a finger under his chin and pulled it up.

"I'm sorry" he whimpered. I pulled him closer to me and kissed him gently.

"I will always love you," I proclaimed. He nodded, and I leaned back onto the bed. He lay next to me and we stayed that way for a couple hours. It was the equivalent of sleeping for us.

We stayed together in bed, for a while sharing onlyand only shared tender kisses and loving looks. He needed to be reminded that I would always be there for him, even when he was weak. I loved him and that wouldn't change.
