The Blackened Flame

by Catastrophia

Six years ago he tore her apart, broke her. Bella's a new, take charge woman now. What will happen when Edward walks into her conference room, and back into her life, as her new client? Rated M for language and future lemons. Drabble fic.

10. Chapter 10

Everything Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer, everything else is mine.

Plot bunnies, plot bunnies, oh the plot bunnies.

Thanks to Midnight Cougar for beta'ing and fixing my tense issues. :)

Chapter 10

Edward

"Turn back now, man. The bitch will eat you alive and spit you out." Some guy warns as he stumbles out of your apartment half dressed.

I don't know why I came, but I did. Here I go.

I walk in, unannounced, and make my way back to where I hear you; the sound coming from what I assume is your bedroom.

You stop at the sound of my footsteps, your brow rising slightly in surprise before turning to a frosty glare. It is cold under your gaze. Frigid. Where did your warmth go?

"What the fuck are you doing here, Cullen?"

You stand in front of me, unabashed, wearing nothing but a black lace panty set with matching garter and stockings. You are also in four inch heels and I want nothing more than to fuck you, but that isn't why I came here; it's not my mission.

"What happened to you, Bella?" I ask, because I need to know.

Because what I see isn't healthy.
