By the time Bella got back to her apartment, her decision was made. No matter where it took her heart, she had to have Edward again. Emmett was right, it was inevitable with them seeing each other so regularly anyway, it may as well be on her terms. Before she could change her mind, she dialled Edward's work number.

"Yes" he answered with a bark.

"It's Bella" she said softly.

There was a pause and a creak of leather. She imagined him relaxing back into his big leather chair.

"Hi. What can I do for you?"

Bella smiled mischievously to herself "What are you wearing?"

"Excuse me?" Another creak of leather as if he'd sat bolt upright at her question.

"I asked what you're wearing"

"Why do you want to know?" he asked warily.

"Because I'm picturing you in that big black imposing leather chair and I'm thinking about slowly undressing you, first your tie, that's got to go. Then I'll unbutton your shirt slowly, one by one and lick my way down your chest and across your belly until it's off. Then I think it's only fair that I lose some clothes too. I'm only wearing a sundress though, not much material and it appears I've forgotten to wear my underwear!" Bella grinned at the sharp gasp she heard down the line. "I want to climb on your lap in that big chair and straddle you while I kiss you, my tongue wrapped around yours. Your hands are all over me. You push the straps of my dress down until my breasts are free for you to taste…" She heard a strangled noise before Edward cleared his throat.

"Uh Bella?"

"Yes?"

"I'm, uh, just in a meeting at the moment with the Finance Minister, could I call you back when I'm done?"

Bella burst out laughing "I guess that's okay. Just remember though, my next step was to lick my way down your body and undo your fly…"

Edward cleared his throat again "I'll take that under advisement, thank you" he said quickly and hung up on her laughing.

Bella grinned to herself, well that was fun, she thought. She took the phone to the sofa to wait for his call back and switched on the television. She channel surfed looking for something interesting, finally settling on a music channel for entertainment. After a good half an hour passed, she sighed, obviously his meeting was running on, so she got up to make a cup of tea. Just as she switched the kettle on, someone banged on her front door.

She checked through the peep hole. Edward! She opened the door to find a very stony faced Edward.

"Hi" she said, stepping back to let him in and closing the door behind him. As soon as she turned to face him he was on her. Both his hands came up to hold her face gently as his mouth descended on hers, kissing her hungrily. He backed her up against the door, pinning her there with his body, making her gasp at the feel of his erection, already rock like against her belly. He broke his mouth from hers momentarily to look her in the eyes.

"If you don't want this, say it now, because in about five seconds it will be too late"

Bella gasped for breath "I want this" she managed "I want you!"

Edward growled "God Bella, I want you too" before taking her mouth again, plunging his tongue urgently into her, making her feel slightly faint with desire. His hands slid down from her face, over her neck and chest to cup her breasts through her sundress.

"Oh God you weren't kidding about the sundress, or the lack of a bra". His eyes darkened, "Were you kidding about the underwear?" he asked.

Bella smiled a little "Find out for yourself" she teased.

He smiled back briefly before tasting her lips again as his hands roamed down her body to the hem of her sundress and underneath to slide back up along her smooth thigh. When his hands found her bottom and the string of her thong he groaned again "A thong. The next best thing to nothing" he sighed, tugging slightly on the string so it pulled against her sex making her whimper at the sharp dart of sensation. His hand slid down under the string slowly and up again, teasing her with the tension, until he moved his hand around to the front of her thong and slipped it in the side, fingers tangling in her trimmed curls and sliding downwards again between her legs to part her slick folds, finding her open and ready for him.

"Oh Christ you're so wet" he sighed, sliding his finger over her labia, up to her clitoris and back, making her pant with want. Each pass over her clitoris making her jerk and whimper, wanting him to linger, wanting her release. They'd been building up to this for over a week and she had little patience left. He seemed to realise she was ready to explode and deliberately kept his pace slow and teasing, alternately kissing her deeply and pulling back to watch her face, watch her quick climb.

"Oh please Edward! Please!"

Edward grinned in satisfaction at her pleas and took the tip of his finger to her clit and pressed gently making her squirm.

"Like this?" he teased, but she was incapable of answering him now with more than a moan and he relented, flicking her gently and quickly watching the flush rise in her face.

"Yes!" she gasped "Like that! I, I, Oh…!" her head flew back against the door and her body bowed taut as her orgasm took her. "Edward!" she cried before he devoured her with his mouth again, swallowing her cries of delight. As soon as her body began to relax he took his hand away and pulled her thong down her legs quickly and her sundress up and over her head, leaving her completely bare. He groaned at the sight of her.

"Damn Bells". He pulled her to him and lifted her so her legs wrapped around him and carried her quickly to the bed where he tossed her as gently as he could before quickly stripping his clothes, standing proud, naked and she noted with her heated gaze, incredibly hard for her. A drop of pre cum beaded on the end of his cock as she stared at him. She licked her lips and he groaned again, bending to grab a condom from his trouser pocket and quickly rolling it on. He climbed on the bed quickly, positioning himself between her legs "I can't wait Bells. I just can't" he moaned rubbing himself against her moist entrance, sending her flames rolling high again. She couldn't wait any longer, she needed him inside her, now!

"Now Edward, now!" she moaned urgently and on a groan he pushed into her, filling her deeply in the way only he could and she whimpered with delight. "Oh God. Yes!" she moaned urgently as he began to thrust hard into her, his intense gaze focused on her and her alone. Her legs wrapped around him, allowing him deeper still.

"Bella!" he groaned, sweat beading on his forehead.

The driving rhythm was too much and too intense so soon after her orgasm, she couldn't possibly take it again, but it was coming, she could feel it. Her body was tensing, beginning to tighten around him.

Edward kissed her hard "Yes baby, come for me. Come for me again"

As if his words were the key her body tipped her up and over the edge of ecstasy and she cried out, her body clenching him until he too was thrown over the edge, shouting his completion. He collapsed on her, breathing hard as he kissed her neck. She buried her fingers in his hair and brought his mouth to hers for a kiss before he rolled to her side, pulling off the spent condom and dropping it off the side of the bed before gathering her in his arms.

"Hey!" she complained at his lack of hygienic disposal. Edward cracked an eye open to look at her,

"Later" he sighed and relaxed pulling her in close.

Bella lay there listening to Edward's breathing slowly become even, feeling replete but still wide awake, silently berating herself. What had she been thinking? This was Edward. The king of wham, bam, break your heart in two. Why had she let him back into her bed? Hormones be damned, she should've ignored their clamouring. Even now laying against his naked body, she let her gaze drink in the sight of his broad, defined chest, her fingers itching to touch him. She wanted to relearn his body all over again. He'd been gorgeous as a teen, but now he'd matured, his skin seemed to have moulded tighter to his frame, all boyish looseness gone for good, leaving him heart stoppingly stunning to look at. The slight scars on his side and leg from the road rash after their accident years ago only served to make him appear slightly dangerous and even more attractive. She noted with delight the trail of hair low on his belly leading from his belly button down under the quilt. The happy trail as Alice called it, she thought with an inward grin. That hadn't been there before either. She frowned, what was she doing? Why couldn't she resist him? He might be gorgeous, but he was also spoiled, arrogant and oh yeah, he broke your heart!

"Stop it"

Her gaze shot up to his face at his husky command. He lay there still with his eyes closed.

"Stop what?"

"Stop thinking. I can almost hear it from here. Stop thinking about the past. What's done is done and frankly I don't want to think about it"

Bella sighed, rolled away from him and sat up on the edge of the bed. His arm looped around her middle.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.

Bella shrugged "Getting up. We're done and I have work to do"

"Who says we're done?"

Bella looked around at him and quirked an eyebrow at which he grinned.

"I'm not eighteen anymore, but I can still go more than once a day"

Bella laughed, her mood broken "Oh yeah, and what makes you think I want to?"

Edward's hand reached up and he softly stroked her nipple with his thumb, smirking when it hardened for him.

"I think you do. Besides I'd hate you to think that after all this time I haven't learned a few new tricks. What just happened aside, I normally like to take my time enjoying a woman, not just create a flash fire"

He sat up and softly began to run kisses across her shoulder blades, making her shiver in delight. Who knew her shoulder blades were an erogenous zone?

"Don't you have to get back to work?" she asked breathlessly as he began kissing down her spine, making her back arch in pleasure.

"I told my secretary to deal for the afternoon" he breathed between kisses.

"Oh" she just managed to reply as his hand smoothed down her bare thigh, around her knee, up the inside of the thigh, just missing touching her and started the route again, eventually making her legs fall open bonelessly, all while he continued to stroke and kiss her back, concentrating on thrilling her nerve endings along her spine. She felt him shift on the bed to kneel up behind her, not touching her with his body, but letting her feel his warmth all the same. His hands caressed her shoulders softly grazing along her collar bone to her neck, stroking her sensitive skin until she wanted to let her head drop, unable to hold it up any longer. He scooped up her thick hair, pulling it to one side to bare her neck to him before tasting her, gently nibbling and kissing his way along her collar bone, up her neck and to her ear, making her shiver deliciously, her nipples tightening in delight at the sensation.

"You like that huh?" he asked, reaching her ear again and watching goosebumps appear across her skin.

Bella managed a soft "Mmm" in response. She felt like she'd sat in a steaming Jacuzzi for too long, all her bones like cooked spaghetti, pliable and hot and she sagged against him, gasping at the feel of his hot skin against hers. She felt Edward smile against her neck and manoeuvred her until her head dropped back on to his shoulder and far enough for him to reach her mouth, or so she thought. Instead of kissing her deep and firmly, the way the old Edward would have done, he touched his lips to each of her eyelids, then her forehead, his lips whispering over her face making her sigh before he finally reached her lips. He brushed them with a feather light touch over and again making them tingle, while his hand slid around her waist again and just with his thumb, he caressed the underside of her breasts, avoiding touching her nipples at all which only made them stand up more firmly, desperate for attention. Her breathing was becoming laboured and her mouth dropped open a little to which Edward took advantage. Using a little more pressure than before, he gently nibbled at her lips with his, first one, then the other over and over, starting a low hum in the pit of her belly.

She felt like a clock, he was winding her tighter and tighter with every taste, every caress, except that when he'd wound enough, instead of merely ticking over, her alarm would ring. But he wasn't going to let it happen quickly, that was obvious, so she relaxed into his ministration, enjoying each new sensation as he gave them to her. As if he sensed her surrender, he touched his tongue to the inside of her lip as a reward, making her gasp. He smiled again against her lips and he began to kiss her more firmly, kissing her fully with his incredibly soft lips, using just the tip of his tongue at first, teasing her tongue to respond. Finally, he deepened the kiss letting his tongue explore her mouth, but in an unhurried way, making it feel never ending and making her feel dizzy with the desire. Over and over he kissed her while his hands continued their gentle exploration of her body, her hips, her belly, her thighs outside and in and up to the underside of her breasts again. Every time he got close to a hot spot he backed off again, winding her up just that little bit tighter, making her squirm trying to get him to touch her. She felt laughter vibrate through him and moaned,

"Edward!"

He broke the kiss briefly to whisper "Shh, patience" against her lips before taking her mouth again.

He was driving her insane. But two could play at that game. So she stretched her arms up to thread her fingers through his thick soft hair, knowing it made her breast stand up proud and would draw his attention. She wasn't disappointed. His hand rose and with the flat of his palm, he teased her nipple sending sparks of desire curling through her, winding again. She moaned and pushed her chest forward, wanting him to touch her more firmly, but he resisted with another vibration of laughter. Revenge is sweet, she thought to herself as she removed one hand from his tousled hair and reached behind her to stroke his thigh, caressing ever higher until she reached his cock. They both groaned as she wrapped her hand around the heated hard length of him. He allowed her to touch him for a minute, pushing into her hand but then he broke the kiss with a sigh and pulled back from her stroke.

"Enough of that. I can't last if you're touching me too" he growled as he coaxed her to lay back down on the bed, his eyes burning into her.

Part of her wanted to wail with frustration, but this was so unlike anything she'd ever felt. She felt worshipped and like a vixen all at once, because she could see what this was doing to him as well as her. So while part of her just wanted him to fill her and make her scream out an orgasm, the rest of her wanted to take this torture as far as he would go.

He knelt beside her and kissed her deeply again, his hand skimming her body, over her breasts, her belly and down to the thatch of curls, but only to brush over her before reversing the path. Bella moaned and lifted her hips a little in disappointment and he grinned at her, earning himself an evil look. He pulled back a little and made his way down her body, his breath whispering over her slowly as he travelled, teasing, tickling and tormenting her the whole way, but he didn't stop where she needed him of course and continued down until he reached her feet. She smiled waiting for the tickling feeling that she'd normally get if anyone touched her feet, but when Edward ran soft kisses along her instep toward her heel, it didn't tickle in the slightest. He reached the inside of her ankle, paying special attention to the freckle on her ankle bone and began his journey up the inside of her leg. By the time he reached the sensitive skin at the back of her knee she was panting with anticipation, her clock wound so tight now, so tight.

He took his time with the inside of her thighs, obviously enjoying the way they quivered at his stroke and finally, finally, he reached her curls. He gently pulled her legs wider apart and bent to taste her with the barest touch of his tongue, making her jump violently with the long awaited sensation. She felt a huff of laughter against her before his tongue touched her again, earning him the same response. With the third touch, she managed not to jump out of her skin, but she did moan. He began to stroke just her labia up and down over and over, each stroke another twist of the key in her clock until she was wound so tight she couldn't bear it.

"Edward please!" she groaned and he finally gave in and flicked her clitoris once, twice with his tongue and that was all it took, the alarm didn't just go off, the clock exploded and she cried out as she came hard, her hips thrust up against his mouth as her back bowed, her hands gripped tight in the sheets under her as her world exploded in brilliant colour. She began to wind down at last panting as her mind stopped spinning and the tightness in her womb lessened. She lifted her head to shoot a steamy look down at Edward who was still positioned between her legs.

"Come here" she ordered huskily.

Edward grinned wickedly and tasted her again making her gasp.

"Stop that. I want you up here"

Edward just lifted an eyebrow and bent back to taste her with long lavish strokes, dipping his tongue inside her and teasing her swollen clitoris until her breathing became harsh again.

"Edward I can't!" she moaned, feeling the tension coil within her yet again.

"You can" he said huskily, he looked up at her briefly "An orgasm for a woman isn't a stop sign, it's a green light for more" at which he slipped two fingers inside her, curling them slightly upward to touch her g-spot earning another loud groan from her. He bent to her again and stroked her clit with his tongue whilst rhythmically pressing the tips of his fingers against her g-spot. Her eyes practically rolled back with pleasure before she cried out again, her orgasm coming swift and hard, surprising her.

Edward trembled as she came for him again against his mouth, her body clenching his fingers. Oh damn, he had to be inside her and now. He leant over the bed quickly grabbing a condom from his trousers, ripping it open and rolling it on in record speed before sliding between her legs and pushing into her incredibly wet entrance with a groan. His body was screaming with the need to plunge into her hard and fast, but he shakily held back, moving deep within her and pulling back as slow as he possibly could, his cock practically on fire for her. He rested his forehead against hers, their harsh breath mingling, staring into each other's gaze and stealing hot, wet kisses as their bodies worked together, her hips rolling with his slow strokes, fluid in motion, tempting him to his limits. He shifted his position, pushing down on her so she couldn't move her hips but he grazed her swollen sensitive clitoris with every stroke, attempting to slow himself down. As he looked into her eyes though, they began to lose focus again and he knew she was on the verge of coming again. The realisation broke his control and with another deep kiss he began to pump faster into her. He felt her body gripping him even tighter suddenly as she deliberately clenched her muscles inside and he looked back down at her in surprise. She gave him a steamy smile, her eyes heavy lidded.

"This time you come with me" she whispered huskily before her eyes fluttered shut and her mouth opened on a gasp "Now!" she whimpered as her body arched suddenly her head flung back.

"Oh God" Edward moaned at the sight of her coming for him with utter abandon and let go, his orgasm ripping through him, his head spinning. They clung to each other trembling as the last spasms faded and their heart rates slowed. Eventually Edward withdrew and pulled off the condom, flinging it on the floor next to the other one. He shot her a tired grin,

"Later" he said.

Bella smiled sleepily and waved a hand "Whatever" she sighed and curled into him, dozing off almost instantly. Edward allowed himself a little self-satisfied smirk at her exhaustion before succumbing himself and falling asleep.
