Emmett and Rosalie

EPOV

The day had come to meet Bella's brother. To say I was nervous would have been a bit of an understatement. I had been warned not to expect open arms from Emmett and Rosalie, yet I couldn't be angry at them for being wary of me. Although I knew my true intentions and feelings for Bella, I understood that moving in together within days of knowing each other may seem a tad impulsive to others. But, waking up next to my angel made anything that happened with big brother worth it.

Hopefully, I wouldn't need any casts or stitches by the end of the day.

That morning, I left Bella asleep in our bed to grab her a vanilla latte I knew she liked. As I walked the couple blocks to the cafe, I thought back to the day before. It had been perfect. I woke up curled around her warm, little body. I looked down at her adorable face as she slept and couldn't believe how lucky I was to have her there. Her alluring scent covered me and I snuggled in closer to her just to breathe it in more deeply.

She must emit some pheromones that have a direct path to my groin because I find myself aroused about ninety-five percent of the time I am in her presence.

I had noticed throughout the night she talks in her sleep. She said my name five different times, each instance making the space she took up in my heart grow larger. As she started to wake, her wriggling drove me crazy...in a good way. I tried to keep myself from attacking her before her giggles gave away the fact she had been teasing me.

That little vixen.

I smiled at the memory. She made amends for her teasing when I felt her lift her leg to throw on top of mine, then reach back to guide me into her from behind.

Talk about a wake-up call!

Twitch.

The rest of the day was spent cuddling, laughing, unpacking, getting to know each other better, and basically just enjoying being able to hold each other to our hearts' content. The more I was around Bella, the more I wanted her around. It's funny how you don't really know what you're missing until you have it. I always thought I was happy. I have had a great life for the most part, yet having Bella with me made my life before I met her look dismal.

After buying her coffee and some bagels, I got back to the apartment quickly and ran up the stairs to surprise her. When I opened the bedroom door, I noticed she wasn't in the bed. I heard the shower running and made my way to the bathroom.

Mmmm, wet, soapy Bella.

"Good morning, sunshine," I called out to her. She opened the shower door and peeked her head out. I held out her coffee in front of me and she smiled.

"Is that what I think it is?" she asked.

"Vanilla latte for my sweet."

Damn, I was a sap.

I needed to slap myself for being the utter cheeseball I had become. But, Bella liked it so I supposed it couldn't have been that bad.

"Awww, thank you, Edward. That's so sweet. I missed you when I woke up and I was alone in bed." she said with a little pout on her face.

"I'm sorry, baby. I wanted to surprise you."

Maybe I should get in there with her and make it up to her?

"So, how about you put my coffee up on the counter, strip, and get in here with me?"

It seemed great minds really did think alike and I wasn't about to hesitate. My clothes were on the floor in two seconds flat before I jumped into the shower. I walked up behind her, admiring the way the water streamed down her backside.

I grabbed the body wash and put a big dollop on my palms, rubbing my hands together to get some lather. I took my time, rubbing every single inch of her body, from her shoulders down to her tiny feet. I then rinsed her off and leaned into her backside, kissing her neck. I wrapped my arms around her, using one hand to massage her breasts and moving my other down to stroke her pussy. As soon as I touched her clit, she moaned.

I love the sound of her moans.

She tilted her head to the side, allowing me more access to suck on her neck. I finally slid two fingers inside her while rubbing her clit with my thumb. She brought her arms up to grab hold of my head behind her. I kept thrusting my fingers, wishing I had my tongue down there instead.

Oh well, there will be time for that later.

"Do you like my fingers in your pussy, Bella?" I breathed into her ear as she moaned louder and thrusted her hips in time with my fingers. I felt her trembling...getting close.

"Come for me, baby," I said as I continued my ministrations. She cried out as she came around my fingers and I continued massaging gently as she came down. Then I brought those fingers up to my mouth to get a taste.

Fuck yes, so good.

I watched her turn around to face me, grabbing her own palmful of soap. "Your turn," she said.

Then she winked at me. Winked!

I shut my eyes as she soaped down my entire body. Her hands felt so good and I hissed when they wrapped around my hard cock. She stroked up and down a few times before I she called out my name softly. I looked down into her big, brown eyes.

"Show me what feels good." I smiled at her. She still questioned that she wasn't doing something right. I should have told her that anytime her hands were on me in any way, it felt good. But, I honored her request. I grabbed one of her hands and placed it back on my cock and put mine on top, showing her how to twist and stroke. It was fascinating to watch her face as she paid such close attention.

God, I love this woman.

I felt myself getting close and released my hand so she was going solo. I closed my eyes to enjoy her touch and one of my hands went to her hair, running through it while she pumped me.

"Does that feel good, Edward?" she asked me in a low voice. My eyes opened in a flash, finding her looking up at me from underneath her lashes. My angel was trying out her sex talk.

Fuck yeah! She was going to be a wildcat once she got over her insecurities.

"It feels so fucking good, baby. I love your hands on my cock," I told her as I watched her face. My eyes rolled back as she kept stoking me and I came hard when her other hand started fondling my balls. I wasn't expecting that.

"Fuck…oh so good… Bella."

When my high came down, I realized my angel had pulled a trick move on me.

"Where in the world did that come from, baby girl?" I smiled as I teased her. She giggled at me.

"Rose might have mentioned something about touching of the balls to me a couple years ago."

"Well, you can touch my balls anytime you want to. Feel free, my love," I said as I shampooed my hair. She called me a perv and I grinned.

We finally got out of the shower and Bella gulped down her coffee. I needed to figure out how to make those at home.

Do you need a special machine for a latte?

We got ourselves dressed quickly before going downstairs to enjoy the bagel breakfast. I planned to show Bella a little bit of Chicago and take her grocery shopping before we had to leave for Emmett's place. I drove her by the Northwestern campus and was happy she seemed to like it. It was a short drive and had a terrific literature program.

We need to discuss getting her a car.

I didn't really want her taking public transportation if it was avoidable. I would have given her my BMW and drove my Suburban, but I already knew enough about her to know she wouldn't like that one bit. The tour continued as I pointed out my hospital and several restaurants, shops, and bars that were close by. Driving around in Chicago was treacherous at times even for those of us that grew up there, so I tried to be thorough.

Eventually we arrived at the market. Bella was very eager to put her kitchen to use. From what I had gathered, cooking for her family had been her way of showing affection for, and taking care of, her brother and father. It warmed my heart that she wanted to take care of me, too.

She was all business when we got inside and I just stood back and watched her as she sniffed fruit, handled vegetables, debated with the butcher, and pondered cheeses. It was captivating to watch her mind work as she collected all the items for her recipes she must have known by heart. I couldn't wait to see her in the kitchen, thriving in an atmosphere she considered comfortable.

I wonder if she wears an apron? Maybe an apron and nothing else?

I stifled a groan at the thought. She looked over at me watching her and smirked, probably knowing my thoughts were less than pure. I stalked over and kissed her properly in the middle of an aisle, loving the way her tongue attacked my mouth and her hands flew to grip my hair. I liked that my girl didn't seem to have an aversion to a little PDA. We finally composed ourselves enough to get through the store and to the checkout. I started placing our items on the belt before grabbing my wallet to get out a credit card.

"Edward Cullen, don't even think about it." I looked over, surprised at her tone, wondering what she was going on about.

"What?" I asked.

"I am paying for the groceries. We already agreed to this, so don't even think about pulling out your card."

When did I agree to that? I thought over the last few days and looked at her in confusion.

"Bella, what are you talking about? I recall nothing about agreeing that you would pay for my food."

"Yes, you did. The kitchen is mine and that includes what goes in it."

That's it. I'm going to open a joint account with her so she won't argue over stupid things like money.

But, I felt it wasn't the best time to argue right then and there so I gave in.

"Fine, darling. Whatever you say."

"Don't patronize me, Edward. I was serious when I talked to you about my contributions to our home." I loved when she called it our home. She was also extremely sexy when she was feisty. I couldn't wait to get her back there. I walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

"I love you," I whispered in her ear. Her eyes seemed to glaze over slightly as she looked at me. Then she snapped out of it.

"Quit dazzling me," she said, slapping my hands away playfully and placing the last of the items on the belt. She swiped her card and signed her name before we walked out with our bags.

I think we just had our first fight.

I grinned. I couldn't wait for the make-up sex.

As we loaded our groceries and got back into the car, I remembered a question I had for her from our "protection" conversation.

"Baby, remember the other night when you said you were about to turn twenty-one? When is your birthday?"

Maybe I would buy her a car for her birthday? She'd have to accept it then, right?

"September 13. When's yours?" she asked.

"June 20. Mine was just a couple weeks ago. I got the best belated birthday present ever," I told her.

"What was that?" I looked over at her and raised my eyebrows.

"You, of course." She blushed before bringing my hand to her mouth and kissing it.

"You are too sweet sometimes, Dr. Cullen."

She called me doctor. That was hot! Images of her hands inside my scrubs popped into my brain.

Twitch, twitch.

I wasn't sure how we made it back home since I was in a lust-induced haze. Driving under the Bella influence was definitely dangerous.

I checked the time as we unloaded our bags, knowing the minutes until I met big brother were quickly passing by. I made a second trip down to the car to bring up our groceries, finding Bella putting things away in the pantry. Her back was turned to me and I simply couldn't resist grabbing her from behind. I chuckled when she jumped a little but settled her down with kisses on her neck.

"That feels so good," she said, before turning in my arms to bring her lips to mine. I lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around me and carried her into the kitchen. I placed her up on the counter, standing between her legs and gripped her hips to pull her closer to me.

"Do you feel that, baby girl? Do you feel what you do to me?" I growled.

She moaned into my mouth as I kissed her again. Her fingers dug into my shoulders before sliding up to twist through my hair. I was close to dipping my fingers into her panties when I heard the doorbell ring.

Fucking cockblocking Jasper.

He had arrived with his jeep to help move Bella's boxes to the apartment. I lifted my head, seeing Bella's swollen lips and mussed hair. She whined when I pulled away.

"I'm sorry. We're going to have to continue that later," I told her with an apologetic grin. I took a breath and adjusted my pants before going to the door. I shouldn't have been playing grab-ass so close to departure time.

I needed to have my wits about me so I could avoid any possible punches toward my face.

"I'm going to go let Jasper in. Are you ready to meet him?" She bit her lip. I knew she was nervous, but she didn't need to be. "Don't worry, love. Jasper is the easiest going guy I know. Don't be nervous, he's going to love you." I placed a small kiss on her lips before lifting her off the counter and putting her back on the floor.

I went to the door, letting Jasper in. He took one look at my hair and shook his head as he walked past me straight into the kitchen.

What the hell was that look for? Bastard.

I followed him, watching as he introduced himself to Bella. She fidgeted and played with her necklace after shaking Jasper's hand.

She's so cute when she's nervous.

I could tell Jasper was trying to make her comfortable. Apparently, the best way to do that was by teasing me.

"So, what have you guys been up to?" he asked as he looked over and shook his head at me. Bella watched him and turned her gaze to see what he was looking at. I frowned when she started laughing in my direction.

"What?" I asked, starting to get a little paranoid.

What was so funny?

I walked over to a mirror in the hallway and got an eyeful. My damn hair was standing up like I'd been electrocuted. It had always had a mind of its own, no matter what I tried to do to make it stand down. At that point in my life, I usually just let it have its way.

But, I would probably need to calm this shit down a little before going to meet big brother.

It was a sure sign I was guilty of some naughty acts with his little sister. I smirked at my own reflection.

I liked naughty Bella.

I nonchalantly walked back into the kitchen, making a straight line to Bella and caging her against the counter with my arms. "You know this is all your fault, don't you love?" I said in her ear. "My poor hair has been attacked and all you do is laugh. I may need to punish you for that later." I distinctly heard a light moan escape her before I pulled back and chuckled at her flushed cheeks and dazed eyes. I moved to the sink to wet down my unruly hair.

"I have a feeling you two are going to be a riot to hang out with," Jasper said with a laugh. I told him to shut the hell up. We finished putting everything away and went out to get in Jasper's jeep.

As Jasper got in, he turned to Bella. "So, where to darlin'?" Bella blushed as she gave him the address.

I bet she liked his accent. All girls like his accent. Bastard. I narrowed my eyes when he turned around to look at me with a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Jasper, thanks for coming to help us today. I know Edward told you our story and you probably think this is sudden. I just wanted to warn you and apologize in advance if you are interrogated today and held suspect simply by association," she said as she smiled and pointed back at me.

What was this? Pick on Edward day? My little vixen was going to get it later.

I had to force myself to stop thinking of the wicked things I wanted to do to her hot little body or we were going to have a big problem. I couldn't go talk to her brother with my cock hard as a rock. I zoned out to calm myself down, not paying attention to Jasper flirting with my girl to get a rise out of me. That's just how Jasper was, and he would never do anything to hurt me or Alice. It was all in good fun. Besides, I knew my Bella loved me and me alone. I smiled when her hand reached back to grab mine.

The jeep slowed down and I looked up to see a large moving truck in front of a condo building. I took a couple deep breaths as Jasper parked nearby. Bella squeezed my hand and I looked up at her. God, she was so beautiful with her big eyes filled with concern. I squeezed back to let her know I was OK before we all jumped out of the jeep.

Bella stumbled right in front of me as we started walking towards the truck, so I grabbed her waist and pulled her close. I took in a deep breath in her hair before letting her go. Her scent calmed me. She held my hand as Jasper joined us to go meet Rosalie and Emmett.

I looked up at the rear of the truck, finding a beautiful blond girl directing movers where to take things. Bella squeezed my hand once more before shouting to her in greeting.

"Rose!" Rosalie looked over at us, first smiling at Bella then narrowing her eyes to stare at me after noticing our clasped hands. I gulped. Time to go meet momma bear.

Rosalie jumped down from the truck bed, giving Bella hug. I had released Bella's hand thinking it might be better for me to not be touching her at all when Emmett showed up.

"Rose, I'd like you to meet Edward Cullen and his brother-in-law, Jasper Whitlock. Guys, this is my sister, Rosalie Hale." Rosalie shook Jasper's hand with a smile and then turned to me to grasp my hand. Her smile tightened, but I was determined to win her over.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Rosalie. Bella has told me so much about you." She looked me directly in the eyes, visually sizing me up.

"She has, has she?" She paused, her question/threat hanging in the air. She was going to be a tougher nut to crack than I thought. "So, she told you she was the most important thing in the world to her brother and I then, right?" I nodded to her.

"I know you are her only family and she loves you more than anything. I also know you love her and would do anything to make her happy, even giving me a chance." I smiled at her and continued on, remembering to use her full name, instead of just Rose. Bella told me she got bitchy if anyone, aside from friends, called her Rose.

"Rosalie, I love Bella. I know it seems too sudden, but everything she described to you in relation to the instant connection she felt...well, I felt it too. I realize you aren't going to trust me for a while, but I promise that I'll eventually earn that trust. For now, I give you my word that I'll never hurt Bella." I hoped she heard the sincerity in my voice. She nodded at me.

"Edward, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think you're a bad guy. My fear is that you two are caught up in some new emotions which may fizzle out next week. I can't stand to see Bella hurt." Bella went to stand beside her, putting an arm over her shoulders.

"Hey, whatever happens will be just as much my responsibility as his. The only thing we know is that we are happy together and not happy apart. For right now, that is enough," Bella said. That was a very simple and astute statement. I couldn't have said it better myself.

My girl is so smart.

"Alright, alright. I need to make sure these movers are doing this right and you guys are distracting me." She smiled at me.

She smiled at me!

"Bella, I've been having them put your boxes right here," Rosalie said as she walked over to a pile of about ten boxes. "Oh, and Edward? You can call me Rose," She said before hopping back into the truck to direct traffic. I grinned at Bella and Jasper while picking up a box and carrying it to the jeep. I felt pretty damn good about the meeting to that point. Rose seemed to like me, or at least not hate me.

I had only one more dragon to slay and it was then that he showed up. The new Escalade pulled up in front of the moving truck and Rose shouted out at someone.

"Em, it's about damn time you got back. I'm going to have all this finished before you even start helping," she yelled. I almost didn't want to turn around, but I did when I heard Bella's squeal.

"Baby sis! You're here!" I heard, watching a mammoth man swinging my girl around in circles.

Shit. He was huge. How did he and Bella have the same parents?

Then, Jasper elbowed me in the stomach. "I hope you can run fast," he said to me lowly, out the side of his mouth.

Fuck you, Jasper. I looked down to make sure my shoes were tied, just in case.

"Em, come and meet Edward."

Thanks a lot Bella, I was trying to not be noticed.

Emmett looked over and glared at me as he put Bella down.

Why isn't he glaring at Jasper? How does he know I am me or he isn't me or I'm not him…you know what I mean. He can probably sense that I slept with his sister. I am so fucked.

I took a couple deep breaths as he walked over, watching images of my life flash before my eyes.

"You. Come with me," he said, looking at me. "Rose, will you please take Bella and this other guy over here and show them around our condo." Rose had gotten back down from the truck to come witness my death. I assumed Emmett's phrase of "this guy over here" was in reference to Jasper.

Not that I wanted an audience for my demise or anything, but how come Jasper gets to see their place before me?

What the hell am I thinking about that now for? I'm about to die!

I tried to calm myself down a little. He wouldn't kill me in broad daylight. I didn't think. Rose was looking at me like she felt sorry for me. Rose! Who not ten minutes before wanted to rip my dick off and toss it in the lake.

Jesus, what is he going to do to me?

Get it together Edward! You are a 28 year old man. Just tell him like it is!

Yeah, that was easier said than done. I watched Rose, Jasper, and Bella walking as if they were in mourning towards the front door of their house. Bella looked back at me and mouthed, "I love you."

Shit, maybe I really was going to die.

Well, if I was going to die, then I would do it right. I looked straight at Emmett, took another deep breath, and began to tell him my side.

BPOV

Rose pulled me away, although I didn't want to leave Edward there. I knew Em wouldn't really hurt him, but I still wanted to be beside Edward.

"Bella, he'll be fine. Let Emmett have this. He knows you are head over heels for Edward. Em's not going to hurt him," she said to me.

I looked over at Jasper, who'd been grinning like the cat who ate the canary since Em showed up. He put his hands up in the air when he saw my glare.

"Sorry, darlin'. I can't help it. Payback is a bitch. Your darling Edward really gave me hell when I met Alice." He laughed. "Don't worry. He can take it. He's tough." Jasper put his arm over my shoulders.

"So, Alice is Edward's sister and your wife?" Rose asked Jasper.

"Yes, maam. She's my little spitfire. I'm sure she'ill meet you and Emmett soon. The Cullens and Masens are a pretty tight family and with Bella in the mix, you'ill be considered family, too."

Awww, that was sweet.

Jasper scratched his chin. "I'm actually a little surprised she hasn't shown up at your door yet with paint samples or some other thing."

"Why would she…" Rose was cut off by the doorbell. She furrowed her brows, probably wondering who in the heck it could be. When she opened the door it was like a hurricane blew through. A small, pixie-sized woman with short black hair and Edward's green eyes came bustling in.

"You must be Rosalie. Hi, I'm Alice. I'm married to that big lug over there," Alice trilled as she hugged Rose. "I came by to see if I could be of any help. I'm a decorator by nature, and since you are family now, I wanted to help as much as I could. I would have been here earlier today, but I wanted to pick up these samples for you to look at." Rose stared at her like she was an alien. It didn't seem to slow Alice down at all.

"By the way, I need to grab a towel and some ice for Edward's face. I saw him when I was coming in." I gasped and ran to the door to rush outside. Alice snatched me up in a hug as I was passing her and started laughing.

Laughing while my Edward was outside bleeding! Bitch.

"Bella," she said. "He's fine. I was just messing with you guys. They're actually sitting down on the curb talking." She looked in my eyes and smiled at me. "It's really great to meet you, Bella." Then she hugged me again. "I'm so happy you love my brother. He's been waiting for you," she whispered in my ear.

Okay, she's not a bitch. That was actually really sweet. Not Edward level sweet, but pretty close.

Maybe it runs in their family?

"Alice," I said, hugging her back. "I've heard so much about you. Edward loves you so much." Her bright smile lit up the room.

"He loves you, too. I've never seen him like this before," she told me before pulling back giving my face and hair a closer inspection. She pulled a stray lock of my hair and tucked it behind my ear. "You and Edward will have beautiful babies." Her barely audible words stunned me.

My ovaries wanted to hug Alice.

As Rose, Jasper, and Alice were engaged in conversation, I watched out the front window, hoping to get a glimpse of Em and Edward. I saw them just as Alice said, sitting on the curb and talking, and couldn't help wondering what they were talking about. Edward pouring his heart out in love and Em telling him off shouldn't take that long. It was mesmerizing to watch the sunlight glinting off Edward's bronze hair, his skilled hands motioning as he was explaining something to Em, and his kissable lips moving as he talked.

How did I get this lucky?

The minutes passed as I stood there watching the two men I love most in my life talking with each other. Finally Em stood up and held his hand out to Edward, pulling him up while giving him a slap on the back. My eyes filled with tears of joy and relief.

Everything was going to be OK. My heart felt like it was about to burst with happiness.

I dried up my tears and headed into the kitchen where I heard Rose, Jasper, and Alice laughing like old friends. I walked in to find the girls chatting about shopping while putting away dishes and Jasper at the table trying to put together some shelving unit. Alice's words about Rose, Em and I all being part of their family now hit me hard; it humbled me how much those words meant.

The front door opened, and I held my breath waiting for Edward and Em to come in. Em moved past me and grabbed a drink.

"Alright, kids. We just came in to have a quick beverage and then it's back to work. This stuff isn't just going to move itself. Right, lil' sis?" he asked, putting me in a strangle hold and roughing up my hair.

Damn him!

I tried maneuvering my way out of it and punching him to no avail. Rose finally came over and knocked him in the head.

"Owww, Rosie. What the hell was that for?"

"That was for strangling your sister and for coming in here suggesting you've actually done some work today. You haven't. Now, you boys get out there and get the rest of the stuff in here or into Jasper's truck," Rose shouted at him. Em looked properly chastised as he started walking toward the front door followed by Jasper and Edward. Edward glanced back at me, giving me a 100 watt smile, silently letting me know that his talk with Em was at least partly a success.

Was it ridiculous that my heart fluttered from a simple smile across the room?

"So, Bella." I turned to face Alice and Rose. "Rose and I are going shopping next week and want to bring you with us. I think we should make it a girl's day. I want to show you both the best places to shop in Chicago." I'd never been a shopaholic but I could handle a day out with the girls.

"That sounds like fun. Do you have my number?" I asked her. She snorted.

"Are you kidding? The first thing Edward did was give us your number, just in case of emergencies." She used a panicked Edward type of voice indicating he tended to lean toward the dramatic side. "He thought he might drown, or fall into a ravine, or be eaten by wild raccoons and you would be upset because he couldn't reach you." She rolled her eyes. I smiled, loving my worrying Edward.

Soon after, Alice had Rose and me going through paint samples. Alice asked me if I wanted to redo anything in my apartment. I thought it was great as it was.

"So Bella, what is on your agenda tomorrow?" Rose asked.

"Well, Edward and I are going to visit his parents for dinner." I let out a nervous laugh.

"Don't be nervous, Bella. Mom already adores you and dad will probably flirt." She winked at me. "He doesn't even do it on purpose, I swear. It's a natural gift. I've had girlfriends faint in his presence before, I kid you not. But, he only has eyes for mom. They'll probably make you sick with their lovey-doveyness by the end of the night." She laughed. "Jasper and I will be there, too. Rose, do you and Em want to go? I know my parents would love to have you both."

"We can't tomorrow, but I'd love to take a raincheck. Em has a dinner with the other rookies tomorrow so we have to be there. I think I need to meet this father of yours." She winked at Alice. I liked that these two were getting along.

"No problem, we usually try to get together every Sunday. My family has a suite for all the Bears home games so hopefully you and Bella will join us."

That sounded nice. Being jostled around by big crowds and grabbed by drunken fans was the downside to football games for me. Although, I had only been to high school and college games. I wondered how different it was in NFL stadiums.

"We will definitely take you up on that," Rose said.

"Alright, well I must be going. Lots to do today. It was wonderful meeting the both of you. Bella, I'll see you tomorrow. And Rose, I'll call you to set a shopping date in a few days. Also, take a look at these samples and let me know if you like anything." Alice got up to walk to the door. Rose and I followed her, watching when she turned back to us with her eyes full of emotion. "I just wanted to let you both know how happy I am you are here. I think you were meant to be part of my family. I've never had a sister and now I'm gaining two at the same time." She crushed each of us in a hug. For such a small person, she really had a strong grip. "Bye!" Then she was out the door like a shot, leaving Rose and I a little shell-shocked.

"Wowza. Alice is a little ball of energy, isn't she?" Rose asked me. I just nodded, not having the words to describe her.

Soon after Alice left, I said my goodbyes to Em and Rose. My boxes filled the back and I didn't mind riding home on Edward's lap in the least, despite Em's glare at us. I started unpacking immediately upon our return, wanting to see my books in their proper place. I loved my little section in the study. I had already set up my desk with my laptop and notebooks.

Edward and I worked in companionable silence; my thoughts centered on the mutual acceptance between our families. It felt like a huge weight of anxiety had been lifted off my shoulders. I only hoped meeting his parents would produce the same result. We managed to fit my personal library on the available shelving before both our stomachs growled with hunger. I made up some fajitas while Edward concocted the margaritas. We sat down at the dining room table to eat and I smiled thinking of how perfect it felt for us to be doing something as simple as having dinner together.

"What's that smile for, beautiful?" he asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

"I'm just happy. Sitting here with you, having dinner, holding hands, it just feels so perfect." He leaned over and gave me a kiss.

Mmmm, he tastes like salt and sweet and sour from his drink.

Inner bad girl was wearing a sombrero and nothing else.

After dinner, we settled in the den to watch a movie. Edward laid down between my legs, his head on my stomach. I mindlessly played with Edward's hair while the movie played. I let myself relax into the comfy couch.

When the movie was nearing the end, I felt my shirt pushed up a little. I looked down, watching Edward rub my exposed skin with his stubbled face. His hot breath on my stomach made me shiver.

"Are you cold, love?" he asked in his sexy, velvet voice.

"No…no, not cold," I stuttered out as he licked around my belly button. His hands rubbed over my ribcage, my sides and waist, then down to my hips and back up again. He pulled on my shirt to remove it, and I raised my arms to help while his lips continued to pepper my belly with kisses.

"Bella, I want to taste you. Can I do that, angel?" He looked up at me, his long lashes blinking.

"Yes."

Like I would tell him no.

He took off my shorts and panties together and tossed them across the room.

"Mmmm, so good," he said, using his tongue to stroke languidly up my entire pussy. My head fell back against the pillow in enjoyment. He took his sweet time, bringing me close to the edge and pulling me back. When he hummed, the vibrations made me insane. My hands attached to his hair, anchoring him to me.

"Please, Edward." I couldn't take it anymore.

"Please what, angel?"

Please what? Please let me come or I'm going to die.

"Please, I need to come, please," I said as my head thrashed back and forth. Finally, I felt his tongue on my clit, before biting it gently, while he thrusted his fingers inside me.

"Oh, god…yes…Oh…ungh," I screamed as I came harder than I ever had before.

I could die right now and be happy. But, then I may never get his magical tongue again.

While I came down from my high, he tugged on my legs until my back was flat on the couch. He ripped his own clothes off before positioning himself above me.

"Do you want me, Bella?"

"Yes, god yes."

Get inside me now.

And he did, filling me up with one thrust until he was buried to the hilt. He moaned into my neck. I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to speak again. I was still trying to recover my sight that I had lost with my orgasm. He pounded into me as I brought my legs up to wrap around him.

Feels so good. I love him inside me.

My fingers clawed at his back, trying to bring him closer. He couldn't get close enough. I wanted him to crawl up inside me and take residence. I felt myself getting close and lost it when he tilted his hips and started hitting a new spot. I came hard again, clamping down on him before he joined me, screaming my name and a few choice expletives.

He collapsed on top of me, sucking on my neck. I rubbed his back, trying to recover from my still lingering spasms in my lady parts. I hoped I hadn't scratched up his perfect skin.

"Mmmm, my Bella. You taste so good," he moaned into my ear and licked over the spots he had been sucking.

After taking our time kissing each other senseless, we both got up. I stood there on wobbly legs trying to figure out how I was going to get up the stairs. Edward made the decision for me, lifting me up bridal style and carrying me to our bedroom.

As my eyes were fluttering closed, completely entwined with my perfect man, I remembered I hadn't asked him about his talk with Em.

Oh well, that could wait until tomorrow.


AN: What did you think of the entrance of Edward meeting Rose and Em? Let me know what you think.
