Edward's Addiction
Edward's Addiction – canon pairing – Cullen's attitudes different from canon – lots of lemony goodness, or badness depending upon your mindset. Some bondage, ok lots of bondage.
Stephanie Meyers owns all things Twilight I'm just borrowing her characters name and appearance, but the kinky and strange things they do are my creation and story. This is my un-perfect world!
Warning: Very adult material. If you're not an adult, just don't read it.
None of this would have happened with the support and editing skills of the following people - true and tested friends: For Editing and their endless patience: John-Mark and Susan
For Constant encouragement: Annie, Liz, Sally, Susan, John-Mark, and Olivia1218; Holly; dream of the endless; and Issy who's trying to teach me to upload my own stuff! Thanks so much for your patience.
Thanks Darlin's You are all my Hero's!
A/N1: Just fair warning. This contains angst. But stick with me, I promise it won't last too long.
A/N2: One of my readers pointed out to me that I'd misspelled 'canon' as 'cannon'. They very well expressed that "With cannons you destroy a city's walls". While I'm trying to make inroads with writing, I don't care to destroy any city walls! I want to thank them once again. It is however, embarrassing that neither myself, nor my editors I had caught it. Again, thank you for pointing that out to me.

Edward's Addiction
Chapter 9
Gone!
Bella's POV
Peace and Quite?
It's over rated to say the least.
But here I am. Locked in our bedroom not able to leave it for anything. But of course, what do I need? I have clothing, a small refrigerator, music, movies, and last but not least (except from a human's point of view ) an en suite.
Sigh.
I want for nothing.
Except someone to just be with, human contact and conversation.
Girl talk.
I love Edward and his family, the Cullen's, but I'm by myself so much of the day.
Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett, have all gone to school to keep up "appearances." Carlisle is at the hospital, and Esme is off busy doing something she does upon occasion. What did she say, oh yes, getting supplies for their "other pets".
Other pets.
I hate that nickname. I hate even more that she's included me by using the word "other."
I really had begun to think that Esme was accepting me as her future "daughter-in-law."
Sigh.
Tears.
I'm depressed, I guess.
To have such intimate contact with Edward, when he was home, but nothing else.
Ah, "...there's the rub..."
He's been gone so much these last few days. Is he really hunting as he said he was? He's having trouble again not drinking me down.
Giggle.
That was funny.
He'd said about a week ago, right after he'd drained all the milk she'd produced in both breast that he wasn't having problems wanting to drain me. Now it's not as satisfying as it'd been at first. Wish he'd make up his mind.
Sigh.
Of course now, Bella had a small wedding to plan. She was sitting on the floor of the huge bedroom that she now shared with Edward, surrounded by catalogs that contained everything for weddings. She had been looking at invitations, table decorations, napkins, and wedding gowns.
She couldn't decide on anything. How did people do this. It's impossible to decide.
What did that mean, she wondered, and not for the first time since she'd told Edward that she's marry him.
Why does he want to get married? Why couldn't they just keep on doing what they'd been doing?
But, Bella loved Edward with ever fiber of her being and she could tell that actually getting married was something very important to him.
Hummm, is there a vampire around who could legally marry them. What did that actually entail? They couldn't really use her name on a marriage certificate because that would be too easy to trace.
Edward wouldn't tell her how it would work.
Why won't he tell me?
Then it dawned on her, Of course! He doesn't know himself. That's why he won't tell me. But why didn't he tell her that?
She was getting such a headache from all of this.
Back to business Isabella!
Wedding dress.
Why did she need a long gown, she was getting married in Los Vegas with only the family present.
Sigh.
Ok. Short dress.
That was better's.
Why I can't I get married in my skinny jeans and tee-shirt?
Because Edward wanted her to marry him in a 'wedding dress'.
Sigh.
Giggle.
I'm so tired of this shit!
EPOV
"Ok Jasper, just how long will it take to get the documents needed to provide Bella with another past?" He was talking to Jasper as he was running through the forest. "Well, that's not as bad as I'd feared. Tell Jenks money is no object, and if it is, I'll put the fear..., Ok Jasper. I'll leave it to you. Thanks man."
I really want to surprise Bella with everything all set for us to go to Vegas, well everything except her dress. She's got to choose that herself. Edward chuckled, Of course, Alice will be upset.
The scent he'd been following finally becoming stronger. Lucky me, there's a pair of them. Must be mating. Don't think I've ever come across two together before.
He'd been following this scent for about 20 minutes. It'd lead him to a rocky peak about 3 hours away from the big house. There sitting in a small clearing was the pair of mountain lions he'd been tracking. They are mating. Sorry to break this up you two, but I need to feed and you've been elected.
Edward made short work of the female, who was actually larger than the male. He must be young, Edward thought briefly. He was finished with the female and then lunged for the male before he was more than 200 yards away.
Sure hope you got off at least once, Edward thought as his teeth found the perfect spot on the young lions throat. In just moments Edward had brought down, two large ones, the male, even though still young, weighed at least 140 pounds and the female close to 110 pounds.
Piece of cake for a strong vampire like Edward.
Emmett always gave Edward a hard time because he seemed to never get any blood on him, nor mess his clothing in any way. That always made Edward laugh when Emmett express disdain for Edward's neatness.
Feeling full and mostly satisfied, Edward stood motionless except for his eyes looking at the spectator view this peak presented. No wonder the mating pair of mountain lions had chosen. Grinning to himself, how romantic!
Fifteen minutes later, Edward was once again speeding through the forest. He knew Bella would be pissed at him not coming home directly after school, but he really needed to hunt. He'd been very luck to stumble on to the scent of the mountain lions. Now he was anxious to get home to his Love.
Edward's phone vibrated in his pants pocket.
"Carlisle? What's up?"
Edward, stopped in his tracks, roaring. "What are you saying? I don't understand Carlisle. What do you mean, Isabella is gone!"
Esme was carrying all the packages and boxes into the house when the unknown scent hit her. She didn't recognize it...them.
More than one.
At least 10.
What?
Gone, about an hour, maybe two.
Who?
Why?
Then it hit her. She couldn't hear anyone else in the house other than herself. Dropping the shopping spree's contents, Esme bolted down the hidden stairs into the cellar where the "pets" of the Cullen's were stored while they were with them.
Every single one of them were gone.
Then a horrible thought hit Esme. Bella!
Flying back up the stairs to the kitchen level, and then to the 3rd floor where Edward's room was, Esme saw the door into that room, was splintered into unrecognizable fragments.
Bella! Bella! Please don't be gone too.
This was going to kill Edward.
Bella was gone also.
This is bad. Esme took her phone out of her skirts pocket and pressed the short cut to Carlisle's phone. Please don't be in surgery, please.
"Esme, what's wrong?" Carlisle knew something had to be wrong because she never called him unless something was. He listened intently. "Ok, I'll be right home."
Esme sat down on the top steps of the stair case leading up to Edward and Bella's room. Bella is such a sweet child. Esme still didn't understand the attraction, but then Edward could never understand her choice of toys either. Though, Edward had become attached in an unhealthy way to Bella. Even to the point he wanted to change her and make Bella one the Immortals. Carlisle had told Esme, to just go with it. Edward had never shown any interest like this before in any woman, even though he'd been with many other Immortals.
Esme couldn't bring herself to call either herself or other Immortals, Vampires. It just sounded so tacky and crude to her. Melodramatic.
So, Edward wanted to make Bella's changing only after they were married.
Married. Esme still couldn't understand why. It wasn't as if there'd be any children, other than those fledglings he'd create over the centuries. As much as Esme liked her current pet, Gustavo.
Thinking of Gustavo, Esme had fond memories of when she first saw him. She and Carlisle were in Rio. Their thinking was the hunting there would be better and they could get their fill of human blood since there were so many people packed so closely together, they'd not be missed, much.
Gustavo was one of the bell boys who'd carried Esme's luggage up to their room. He'd shown an immediate attraction to Esme, and she just couldn't pass it up. He'd either agree to leave with her, or she'd drain him. It had to be his choice.
He came to her the first time, on his own as she walked through the gardens the hotel kept behind the main building. Esme was looking at the exotic flowers when she smelled a human very close to her, and one that'd recognized right away. It was the bell boy who'd handled her personal luggage. She turned and smiled at him.
"Gustavo. How lovely to see you away from the check in desk. Do you come out here often?"
Esme could tell he was nervous. "Yes, ma'am" He spoke very good English, actually it was American, "but when I saw you out there I just had come to talk with you. I hope I'm not being too forward?" His eyes only looked directly at her with his last words, then he'd quickly dropped them to the flowers before them.
"No Gustavo, thank you for being forward."
They continued to walk and talk for over an hour. By the end of that hour, Esme was smitten with him. They met several more times before Carlisle and she were leaving.
While finishing up her packing, Esme turned to Carlisle, "I've decided I want to take Gustavo back to Forks with us, that is if you have no objections." Esme cocked an eyebrow at him. Carlisle had his share of pets from all around the World, and it was seldom that Esme ran across one that she'd even considered taking "home".
Carlisle smiled. "No, I have no objections. Have you discussed this with him?"
Shaking her head, "No, not yet. I only just decided a little bit ago, but I have been thinking about it for the last couple of days. I think I'll call for him to come up now and then we both can talk with him, if you'd like."
"Ok Esme. If this is what you want. You know I can't refuse you anything."
That night Gustavo's fate was sealed.
Carlisle and Esme left the hotel with their bags to keep up appearances. Esme had arranged to meet Gustavo in two days, swearing him to not tell anyone what was going to happen. Though he couldn't understand how they could be going so far away and be able to be back in just two days.
He found out and was impressed, and never regretted his decision to be with Esme.
Luckily Carlisle had been in his office at the hospital doing some paper work when he'd gotten the call from Esme. He quickly punched in the number on his desk phone, to his secretary. "Samantha, I'm going to have to go home. Something's happen and Esme is hysterical. Please cancel my appoints that are left. I'll call you later and give you an update. Yes. Thank you Samantha."
It took all Carlisle could manage from all his years of being around humans, to just walk like a human, out of the hospital, get his in Lexus FLA, and leave the parking lot of the hospital, without leaving a trail of burned rubber behind him.
Once he was out of the lot, he stepped on it and raced to the house in a matter of minutes.
No sooner than he'd parked the car, Esme was standing there wringing her hands. "They're all gone Carlisle."
He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "We'll find them Esme. I'd better call Edward. He's not going to take this well."
"Edward. Bella is gone. Now clam down. All of the house pets are gone. Everyone of them. Come home right now so we can begin to unwind this mess. Yes, Alice is here and searching, but so far she's coming up blank. You know she can't read Bella. Yes, Jasper and Emmett are looking for the tail. Yes of course. Now come home."
