Chapter 10

EPOV

I felt her move to get out of the bed and tightened my arm around her waist to keep her beside me.

"Morning beautiful." I said as my eyes slowly opened.

She stiffened and didn't open her eyes. I wasn't really sure what was going through her mind but I could tell it wasn't good, so I let go of her. She pulled away and stood from the bed with the sheet wrapped around her body. I instantly missed having her body pressed against mine so I scooted over and sat down on the edge of the bed taking hold of her hand that wasn't holding the sheet up. She stood there silently refusing to look at me.

"Bella please look at me. Did I do something wrong? What is it?"

Her eyes slowly met mine and I could see the pain and uncertainty there.

"Edward what happened last night was..."

"What?"

She just shook her head and moved away.

"Nothing. I'm going to go take a shower."

"Ok."

She went into the bathroom and I flopped back down unto the bed. When I heard the water start running, I got up and got dressed. I decided to go make us some coffee. As I sat in the kitchen waiting for the coffee maker my mind wandered back over the events of last night.

I picked up Bella's delicate foot and started massaging it. A slight blush spread across her cheeks.

"Oh God, your hands are amazing."

I smirked at the effect that I had on her.

"Stop doing that."

"Doing what?" I asked, smirking again.

"That...that 'look at me I'm gorgeous', panty dropping smirk."

She slapped her hands over her face, covering the insant blush that exploded on her face. My hands on Bella's foot stopped. I could not believe that she had just said that.

"Please ignore what I just said. I cannot believe that just came out of my mouth. It has to be the alcohol."

"You know that alcohol brings out the truth right?"

"Please don't mock me. I'm embarassed enough."

"I'm not mocking you; look at me."

She shook her head. I placed her foot on the floor and wrapped my hands around her wrists. I gently pried her hands away from her face and dragged her out of the chair, until she stood in front of me. I put my hands on either side of her beautiful face.

"Bella, please open your eyes." I begged.

I could see the reluctance while she did what I asked. When her eyes opened I could see that she had just come to a very surprising realization.

"Bella, there is nothing for you to be embarrassed about. You are the smartest, wittiest, most beautiful woman that I have ever known."

I watched as the shock registered clearly on her face. I realized in that moment that I had been in love with her for a very long time. I couldn't stop myself as my lips met hers in a soul searing kiss.

We stood there kissing, our tounges battling for dominance. I didn't pull away until my lungs screamed for air. I pulled away gasping a huge gulp of air and looking back down at the girl in my arms. Her beautiful brown orbs stared up at me from underneath half closed lids, sparkling with joy. With my inhibitions gone and her looking at me like that, I couldn't stop what happened next.

I picked her up and carried her down the hallway to her room. When I set her back onto the floor, I placed my hands on the sides of her face and captured her lips with mine again. Her arms wrapped around my neck, hands tangling in my hair as mine slid down her neck and chest to the belt cinched around her waist. I unfastened it and let it drop to the floor. I reached up with one hand and pulled the tie out of her hair letting it fall down her back. I pulled out of the kiss again gasping for the oxygen that my body needed.

I slipped my shoes off and grabbed Bella around the waist. She squeaked as I pulled her into me and attaked her mouth again. Pulling away quickly, I trailed kisses along her jawline to behind her ear then continued down her throat as she moaned and bunched up my shirt in her hands, pulling me closer. I backed her up until she hit the bed. Her knees buckled and shse fell backwards onto it. I removed my shirt and heard her gasp. I smirked to myself as she stared at my bared chest and abs. Her eyes slowly moved upwards until they locked with mine. I groaned, seeing the lust that had darkened her eyes. I watched as she grabbed the bottom of the shirt and lifted it above her head revealing the white lace bra underneath. She tossed it to the side and layed back removing her jeans to show the matching thong. She moved back and settled against the pillows, beckoning me to join her with a crook of her finger. I yanked off my jeans and socks in one swift motion, jumping onto the bed. She giggled girlishly at my enthusiasm.

Goosebumps erupted all over her as I ran my hands along her exquisite curves. A shock shot through me as her hands started exploring my upper torso. With one hand, I undid the clasp of her bra and let the straps slid off her shoulders. I pushed her back and removed the offending piece cloth. A blush covered her face and spread across her chest that I could not pull my eyes away from. I laid beside her running my hand along the curve of her breast. She arched into my hand and moaned my name, a shiver running through her body.

"God you're so beautiful Bella."

The proof my arousal bumped against her stomach as I leaned over to attack her mouth and throat again. I moved my mouth down to her chest and continued my assault on her skin.

"God her skin tastes as good as it smells."

While I was distracted, she planted her hands on my chest and pushed me onto my back, straddling my hips. I hissed an indrawn breath as her hot, wet core came in contact with my throbbing erection. She shifted against it as she took control, my hands gripping her hips to keep movement to a minimum. Leaning over me with her hands firmly planted on my chest, She attacked my my mouth with vigor. I responded in turn, but it ended quickly. She bite my bottom lip lightly before she trailed nips and kisses along my jawline. Reaching my ear she took the lobe into her mouth and sucked on before continuing down my throat to my chest. I thought she would stop there but instead slid down my body until she met the waistband of my boxer-briefs. Stopping there she teased me even further by licking a line across my pelvic bone before grabbing the waistband and pulling it down until I was finally freed. She threw my last remianing article of clothing onto the floor and locked her eyes with mine. I groaned and bunched the comforter in my hands as she slowly licked her lips and bit her bottom one. Her hands moved up my thighs until she came in contact with my dick. I couldn't help the noises I made as she grapped my shaft with her dainty hands and lowered her mouth onto the tip. She licked and sucked until I couldn't take it anymore.

I grabbed her and flipped her over, yanking the shred of lace that was the only barrier left between us. I cupped her in my hand before dragging one finger through her slit. She was sopping wet. When I hit her bundle of nerves she jerked and screamed my name.

"Please Edward."

I smirked to myself as I lowered my head and got my first taste of pure Bella. It was heaven. I latched onto the clit and licked and sucked antil she was writhing and panting my name. I inserted a finger and found the spot inside of her that drove her over the edge. I licked up every bit of her essence that I could before moving back up her body. I sprawled across her holding myself up on my hands and gazed upon the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.

Bella looked up at me through hooded eyes that were glazed over with complete satisfaction. I kissed her again. This time softly until she pulled away. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Edward I want you, now."

"Your wish is my command."

I pushed into her slowly, relishing the feeling of having her heat wrapped around me. I swear I was having a religious experiance tonight. Her muscles clenched and unclenched around me as I picked up the pace. I was getting close and I could tell by the noises that she was making that she was with me. Suddenly she arched off of the bed and screamed my name at the top of her lungs. The sight before me combined with the sound of my name on her lips and her muscles clenched tightly around me, sent me over the edge with her. I came hard screaming her name and groaning as I collapsed beside her. I pulled her against me as we cuddled underneath the blanket that she pulled over us. I fell asleep to the sound of her soft even breathing.

I have never slept more peacefully in my entire life.

I shook myself out of my thoughts as I heard the water turn off. I walked over to the coffeemaker and poured coffee into the waiting mugs adding sugar and cream to Bella's just the way she liked it. I took a couple of bagles out of a package sitting on the counter. I popped them into the toaster and grabbed the cream cheese out of the fridge. As I spread it onto our toasted bagels, Bella walked around the corner.

We sat down at the table with our breakfast on ate in silence. When I finished my coffee, I gathered up the plates and mugs, rinsing them off in the sink. When I turned back around Bella was gone. I found her sitting on the couch in the living room. I walked over and sat beside her putting my arm around her shoulders. She stiffened immediately. I pulled away and noticed the paniced look in her eyes.

"Bella, please tell me what's wrong."

"I'm not sure last night was such a good idea."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm saying it was a mistake to do what we did. What is everybody going to think?"

I jumped up.

"Who cares what anybody thinks?"

"I do!" she screamed back at me.

"Fine than!" I said as I stormed to the door.

"See you at work tomorrow. And don't worry I won't tell anybody about what a huge mistake you made!" I yelled, as I slammed the door behind me.

The whole way home I was livid. I couldn't think about anything else but the words that Bella had said to me.

A mistake. Is she fucking kidding me? That was the most wonderful night of my life.

After I got home and took a shower, I started to calm down. I tried to see it from her point of view. Maybe she thinks that everybody will just think that the reason that she got a promotion was because we were sleeping together. Even though we both know that it isn't true, everyone else might see it otherwise. I'll just give her time. I'll try to talk to her about after work tomorrow.

I spent the rest of the day cleaning up my apartment and taking care of other household responsibilities. I went grocery shopping, did the laundry, paid all my bills and balanced the checkbook. By the time I had finished, it was time for bed.

I woke up the next morning in a sour mood. I hadn't slept very well at all. I dreamt about the night before all night. Everytime I woke up, I would reach across my bed and realize that she wasn't there. So pissed at the world, I got ready and went to the crime lab.

When I got there, I noticed that Lauren was back at her desk.

Good they were able to clear her.

I went to my office and it was more bad news. Jessica and Mike were still missing and we still had no idea who the other set of prints belonged to. The vics laying in our morgue where still Jane Does.

I spent most of the day in the campfire room trying to piece together anything. I hadn't seen Bella all day and was beginning to think that she was avoiding me. As I was walking through the parking garage towards my car at the end of the day, I noticed Bella talking to Lauren.

That's odd.

"Bella!"

She turned around at the sound of her name with a look of panic. She turned back around and agreed with Lauren about something before jumping into Lauren's rental car. They sped out of the structure and down the street. I called Bella's cell and heard it ring. I found it, along with her purse sitting on the hood of her car. I shut my phone, took her purse and walked back inside to find Alice. Something was up, I just didn't know what it was and that bothered me.

Mystery POV

I chuckled softly as I watched the bronze-haired man walk back into the building. I now knew who he was. Lead CSI Edward Cullen and brother of my mark's best friend Alice. They had known each other for years and he was her boss, but that didn't stop them from harboring love for one another.

I didn't mind though. She was mine now, thanks to that dimwitted bitch whose car was used in our little game. I had a feeling that Edward was going to make this much more fun than I had originally planned for. But I was up for the challenge.

I left the parking garage and walked down the street to my waiting car. As I got in, I dialed up Lauren's number. She answered immediately.

"Good girl. Drive to the drop off, I'll meet you there. Now put her on the phone."

I heard her hand over the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Isabella. I can't wait to meet you. We are going to have so much fun together."

"Who is this?"

"You don't know me but you know my work. Those two girls that are lying in the morgue."

I could hear her sharp intake of breath as that little piece of information sunk in.

"You can call me James."
