"Bella!" I shouted after her. Before I could think too much and stop myself, I ran up behind her and slammed the front door shut. She gasped from my actions and once again when I pressed my body against her back effectively closing her in. "Don't go… please."

Just one chance

Just one breath

Just In case there's just one left

Cause you know

That I love you

I have loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me

And you'll never go

I moved my hands from the door to her hips and gripped them causing her to stop moving. Bella dropped her bag on the floor and stood in her place almost as if she was afraid to turn around. I gripped her hips harder and forced her to face me. She was still crying as her arms remained at her sides. I brought my own hand up to her cheek and wiped her tears away as she leaned into my hand. Then I moved towards her and backed her up against the door. When her back hit the door, I looked into her puffy eyes as I licked my lips and leaned down to kiss her.

As soon as her soft lips were on mine, I let out a growl in her mouth. She moaned in response and opened her mouth to me as she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck. Our kiss was urgent and passionate. When my tongue met hers I deepened the kiss making us both moan. I hadn't kissed her in ten years, but it was just as I remembered.

Her kisses always had an effect on me.

At this moment with Bella in my arms and her lips kissing mine, everything came flooding back to me like a tidal wave. How I felt when I first saw her, when I first touched her, when she first touched me. I remembered our first kiss in my parent's pool, her skin wet and warm against mine. I remembered making love to her the first time and every time after that. I remembered how my heart was ripped out of my chest when she left and what it felt like to see her again after so long. I remembered the love I had for her, the love that never went away, the love that I still felt for her.

My hands were in her soft tresses and then down her back to her hips once again. I gripped her ass and pulled her to me, groaning when her body pressed into my erection that was begging for release from the confines of my pajama bottoms.

I was so fucking hard.

It had been a long time since a woman turned me on. My hand had become my dick's best friend for the past six years and it was nice to feel a woman's body against mine. Not just anyone woman, a woman who I fell in love with when she was just a girl, and now a woman who to this day could still turn me the fuck on with just one touch.

I was consumed by her.

Her skin was so soft, her scent was intoxicating, her breath sweet on my tongue, everything about her pulled me over the edge and I wanted her. As much as I wanted her when she was just a girl did not compare to how much I wanted her as woman.

She was beautiful as a sixteen year old girl but now at 26 years old, she was stunning.

My hand moved up her left side until I cupped her breast over her sweater. I felt her nipple harden through the material making me groan louder in her mouth.

I wanted her.

I needed her.

God help me I loved her.

"Edward," she panted, as she broke free from my mouth and pressed her breasts more into my hands. "I missed you so much."

I moaned as I kissed her again.

"I missed you too Bella, so fucking much." I said and then I crashed my lips to hers again tasting her. "I need you Bella, please… I need…"

"I need you too," she said, "Please, Edward take me to your bedroom."

With no hesitation, I picked her up in my arms and she instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist. I gripped her ass and held on to her as I made my way up the stairs to my bedroom.

As soon as we got to my bedroom and I had Bella on my bed, we wasted no time in ridding each other of our clothes. It was urgent as our clothes scattered across the room.

Once we were completely naked, I looked at her body under me and was amazed at how much she had changed. Her curves were more defined, her breasts were suppler, and her pussy, good lord it was more breathtaking then I remembered it to be. I needed to touch her softness.

I reached down between her parted legs and gasped when I felt her moisture that had gathered. "Jesus Bella, you're so wet."

"It's been so long Edward, please… touch me." She said.

I moved my fingers further down until I reached her entrance. I pushed one of my long fingers inside her followed by another as she moaned. I started to pump my fingers in and out of her body as she withered beneath me.

"Oh Edward," she panted.

And then I nearly came right then and there when I felt her take my cock in her hands. She moved her hand from base to tip and began to pump me as I fucked her with my fingers.

"Fuck Bella, you have to stop," I said pulling my fingers from her to still her hand. "Its just that its been so long since a woman touched me and I'm not going to last."

She looked at me and brought my face down to hers so she could kiss me. "Its been a long time for me too, Edward." She said in barely a whisper. "Please… I need you inside me."

"Fuck… I don't have anything…" I said suddenly feeling a brush with déjà vu. "I'm sorry Bella, this was the last thing I was expecting tonight. I can't remember the last time I bought condoms."

"It's okay Edward, I'm on the pill." She said. "It's okay now."

I looked deep into her eyes and realized this was not like it was ten years ago. We were both adults now and as much as I wanted her when she was sixteen, I wanted her more right in this moment. I kissed her hard on her mouth and groaned when I felt her part her legs further apart so she could wrap them around me. I reached down and for the first time in a very long time, I guided myself to her pussy and cried out.

"So tight… Bella… you feel so fucking good." I panted.

"Edward…" she gasped as I began to move inside her. "Yes… oh god."

My thrusts became harder and deeper and I got up on my knees and pulled her to me by her hips. I leaned back down and took one of her nipples in my mouth and sucked on it as I moved. Her body was shaking underneath me as I continued to pump inside her.

"Bella," I said. "I need you to cum." I reached my hand down to where our bodies were joined and began to rub her clit just the way I remembered she liked it.

"Yes Edward… so close."

I rubbed her harder and then I felt her clamping down on my cock. "Yes baby, I can feel you."

"Oh… oh… god, yes!" she screamed as he came all over my cock.

I gave her a minute to recover and then I thrusted into her hard.

Harder. Deeper

In and out.

One

Two

Three times and I was done.

"Oh fuck… fuck…" growled as I came inside her.

I collapsed on top if her and felt her wrap her arms around my slick back. I was breathing heavy in the crook of her neck. When my breathing regulated, I slowly pulled out of her and moved to my back.

"Are you okay?" I asked her as I turned my head to look at her. She was still on her back with her hands draped over her stomach.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she said. "That was intense."

"Yes it was," I agreed, "It was different, but still the same if that makes sense."

"It makes perfect sense," she said as she propped herself up on her elbows. "I need to use your bathroom."

I nodded to her and she got up out of bed. I watched her as she dashed into the bathroom and then something caught my eye.

Did she have a tattoo?

I waited for her to come back and when she did I looked at her with a sly look.

"Bella?"

"Yeah?" she asked as she climbed back in bed.

"What is that on your lower back?"

"Oh um… it's a… tattoo," she said. "I got it when I turned nineteen."

"Can I see it?" I asked.

She nodded and then turned her body around so her back was facing me. I sat up and moved closer to her so I could get a better look. On the small of her back was a capitol letter E and a capitol letter B in the most elegant of script. In the middle of the letters was a black heart and in the middle of the heart was a capitol letter M. There were green vines that ran through the outer letters and around the heart as if they were connecting it all together. I was at a loss for words.

"Wow," I said as I ran my fingers lightly over her tattoo.

"I got it as a reminder of what I lost and what I have," she said as she turned around to look at me. "You were always with me Edward… I never forgot a thing."

I smiled at her and then took her in my arms. I had no idea what any of this meant. I had no idea what Bella being back in my life would come to. I wanted to know what she was thinking about all of this, but I was afraid to ask. I wanted to savor this moment because I had no idea what the morning would bring. I knew I loved her and I wanted nothing more than to get to know our son. All of the thoughts, along with my exhaustion finally knocked me out. I fell asleep with Bella next to me.

Some where between going in and out of consciousness, I heard my cell phone ringing on my nightstand. I opened my eyes and saw Bella was still curled up next to me naked and asleep. I was a little disorientated as I remembered what had happened in my bed earlier. I looked at her sleeping form again and then I heard my phone ringing. I looked at my clock and saw that it was 3:15am. I sprang up in bed and grabbed my phone, it was my mother.

"Mom? What's wrong?"

At this point, Bella had woken up and sat up next to me holding the sheet to her body. "Edward?" she said.

"I know its late Edward, but Lizzie just woke up from a nightmare," my mother said on the other end of the phone. "She's real scared and I tried to calm her down, but she wants her daddy."

"I'm on my way, tell her I'm coming." I said I tossed my phone back on the nightstand and got out of bed.

"Edward, what's wrong?" Bella asked. "Is Lizzie okay?"

"She had a nightmare, the only thing that calms her down is when I sing to her," I said as I quickly pulled on my boxer briefs followed by my jeans and a gray t-shirt. I reached for my socks and sneakers and ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. I never should have left her."

"Well hold on, I'll go with you." She said as she started to get out of bed.

"No," I said back. "I need to go alone. I don't want to confuse her more than she already is." Who was I kidding? I was the one who was confused. "You should get back to Masen. I have to go… can you let yourself out?"

"Uh.. ye… yeah," she barely got out.

I nodded to her as I grabbed my wallet and my cell phone. I left my bedroom without looking back to head downstairs. I shrugged on my zip-up and grabbed my keys. I took a breath before I opened the front door. I felt like shit for leaving Bella like that, alone and naked in my bed after making love to her, but I never should have left Lizzie in the first place. I felt guilt completely take over my senses from every direction.

I yanked open the door and slammed it shut. I got in my car and as I drove to the hospital, I let out the tears that I had been holding back and I sobbed the whole drive there.

What have I done?

A/N: Oh good lord… these two, will they ever get it right?

And no it has not escaped me that Edward didn't tell Bella he still loves her.

Give the man some time; he's a bit discombobulated right now.

Next chapter... soon-ish!
