It was time to break the news to Bella of Aro's plans for the night, I had never felt more nervous than right now. I was about to break the news to her that we would be spending the night dining with Aro and his special guest. Bella hated him with a passion and the mere mention of his name made her blood boil. I ran my hands through my hair with a groan as I climbed out of the car still in my gym gear after working out with Emmett, I would normally be happy to see Bella laying out on the lawn while she soaked up the sun but today I was scared for my life. I dropped my bag by the door grabbing a cold bottle of juice before heading out to join her. I bit back a smile seeing her wiggling her toes as she mouthed the words to the song playing on her Ipod.

"Babbyyy..." I teased playfully kissing over her face making her screw her nose up with a laugh. I let my cold bottle run over her bare stomach as my lips found their way to her neck starting off with kisses before blowing a 'raspberry' making her scream in between her giggles. This was my way of getting into her good books before dropping the bomb.

"How were Emmett and Rose?" She asked draping her arm around my neck pulling me down to kiss her tenderly.

"Hmm, they were good..I got a call from Aro and I need to tell you something" I sighed softy brushing my nose against hers lightly as I looked down into her eyes, she had a way of instantly relaxing me as she ran her finger tips through the back of my hair.

"Do I even want to know what this is?"

"Maybe not...Aro has invited us over for dinner tonight. We don't have a choice we are just going to have to endure it. I'm sorry and I promise that I will make it up to you" I explained the situation quickly seeing her face fall as she let her arms fall from around my shoulders. "Bella, I'm sorry. We really don't have a choice. We just go have a drink and some dinner then we come home. He wants to meet you.."

"Just drinks and dinner" She nodded kissing the corner of my lips before pushing herself to her feet heading inside to get ready for our nightmare dinner date. I let myself flop back with a deep sigh taking a long gulp of the orange juice hearing the bathroom door slam closed. I knew I was in for a long night and Bella wouldn't hold back with her comments to Aro. It was a good thing that I had a plan under my belt because I just knew that tonight was going to go terribly. The tension was already building between the two of us as we put on our best clothes ready for the night ahead. I watched Bella with a half smile on my face as she ran her fingers through her loose curls before applying her blood red lipstick.

"You look amazing...like seriously beautiful" I commented as I perched on the edge of the bed buttoning the cuffs of my white shirt. Bella glanced at me in the mirror with a playful quirk of her eyebrow before turning to face me giving me a full view of her body. She had chosen a floor length black dress with a slit which stopped at the top of her thigh. Her hair cascaded down her back and framed her face which was now painted with a smokey eye and deep red lip. I had never seen her look more stunning than right now.

"Whatever happens tonight we are not going to let him come in between us...deal?" She asked holding out her pinky finger to me, I shook with a nod before leaning up to kiss her cheek.

"Its a deal. Just have some wine and relax. I'll just deal with all of the shit"

I traced my finger tips over Edward's thigh as he pulled the car into the driveway of Aro's house, it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen. We were instantly greeted by marble features and gold accents it simply made my stomach turn. I was going to need enough wine to supply a small village if I was going to get through tonight while remaining mellow. Edward reached for my hand placing light kisses on my knuckles with a little sigh.

"I fucking hate this place...lets just get this shit done" He said blankly as he climbed out of the car before darting around to open my door offering me his hand.

"Just you and me" I offered him a smile before stepping towards the door ringing the door bell. Aro appeared almost instantly giving us both his signature sly smile, he shook Edward's hand before leaning in to kiss my cheek. I felt the vomit rise in my throat as he slips made contact with my skin, I couldn't wait for my boyfriend to put this bastard down.

"Ahhh Isabella, what a pleasure" Aro greeted me in a low voice keeping his hands clasped against mine while Edward was lead into the other room by one of the servers after they whisked away his jacket. "Now I understand why our precious Edward is always so keen to run home"

"Our? It certainly seems that way at the moment" I nodded keeping my lips in a tight line as we walked through to the dining room where I took my seat beside Edward again. I felt almost a welcome relief just being in his presence. I had spent my days dealing with dangerous men but none of them made me feel the way that Aro did. I felt like a mouse in a snake pit and I couldn't shake the feeling that he was about to strike at any moment. I eyed the servers carefully as they filled the glasses with red wine which was much needed by myself.

"None for me, thanks" Edward said polity putting on a smile glancing over at Aro who waiting for an explanation. "The last time I drank and took drugs I ended up murdering someone...I like to do some damage control" He nodded reaching over for my hand linking his fingers through mine giving it a reassuring squeeze. As hard as Edward's image was I knew that he needed a support system. We were quickly joined by a leggy blonde who looked almost as uncomfortable as I was while Aro pawed her and held onto her like she was going to disappear. Edward and Aro were different ends of the scale while Edward held onto my hand and traced shapes on my palm, Aro kept his arm firmly around Heidi keeping her close to his sides. All of the money in the world couldn't make the man a gentleman. I took a couple of bites of the grilled duck breast while Aro and Edward slipped into a casual conversation about the jobs they had coming up. Maybe Aro was right, this Edward wasn't MY Edward. This Edward was so rigid in his chair and kept his tone low and calm while he spoke without cracking a smile for even a second.

"So, Isabella I hear that your Father is a police officer" Aro slipped into the conversation casually as he took a sip of his wine. I felt my heart stop in my chest as Edward turned to look at me with a tight jaw we had only spoken briefly about my parents jobs and I hadn't exactly told him the truth about my Fathers work. Edward and my Father were like oil and water it was never going to be a good mix. I nodded as I took a large gulp of wine keeping my eyes fixed on Aro as I answered. I could feel the burn of Edward's glare as he pulled his hand away from me sharply which only added to Aro's amusement.

"That's right...we haven't spoken since moving here though"

"Why is that? Why would you give up your family for a man you barely knew?" He challenged while pouring us both another large glass of time. "Guilt makes people do amazing things"

"I am not here with Edward out of guilt. I love him.."

"So you didn't feel any guilt for Edward after he took the blame for you after your vicious act?"

"Of course I felt guilty that I didn't receive any punishment but I have extremely strong feelings for Edward.."

"I think we are done here. Aro, it has been a pleasure" Edward sighed pushing himself up from his chair dropping the napkin on the table. "Get your shit and lets go" He said sternly waiting for me to grab my purse before taking my hand pulling me towards the door.

"I want you here at 1pm sharp" Aro called over his shoulder to Edward as we headed to the car. I watched Edward grip the wheel as the car sped down the tarmac towards homes, I could feel the tears stinging my eyes while I tried to fight back the quiet sobs. I knew that Edward was going to explode and it was only a question of when that was going to happen.

"Edward, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you...I didn't think that it mattered" I began to try and explain myself while I wiped the tears away from my cheeks with the back of my hand.

"You didn't think that it mattered?! Are you crazy? You are aware of what I do, right?" He laughed humorlessly with a shake of his head keeping his eyes fixed on the road. "Do you realize what will happen to me when your Dad tracks you down here and finds me? You do realize that you will also be locked away for breaking me out, right?"

"That won't happen! He wouldn't do that to us.."

"He is a cop, Bella! Why wouldn't he do that?!"

"He loves me! Unlike some of our Fathers he would never just pass me off like a spare car part" I snapped back with gritted teeth, I instantly regretted my comment as Edward stole a glance at me the hurt evident in his eyes-I had crossed the line.

"Looks like that is something that I am lacking right now doesn't it? Did you act out of guilt? Might as well just put it out there now" He shrugged slamming the car door as we pulled into the drive way before marching into the house. I ran my hand through my hair swallowing the lump in my throat as I followed him inside dropping my purse on the kitchen counter. I bit my lip leaning back against the door as Edward unbuttoned his shirt leaning back against the kitchen counter with a heaving chest.

"Edward...never for a second did I do anything out of guilt. I love you so much..I know that I shoulder have told you about my Dad but I knew that you already had so much on your mind" I kept my voice calm as I watched him carefully, It broke my heart seeing him almost broken as he ran his hands over his face with a deep sigh.

"It doesn't matter anyways, if he does come to find you I'll just skip to another girl like a spare car part. Apparently I'm pretty easy to shake off" He shrugged putting on a smile heading for the living room.

"I am sorry for what I said but you are also over reacting! Everything is such a drama with you!" I yelled hitting his shoulder with my fist while he paced up and down the living room his face flushed with rage. I gasped my heart hammering in my chest as he gripped my hips pushing me back against the wall before putting his hands on either side of me to keep me in place. I looked up at him with a shaky breath his face changed the lust filling his green eyes.

"Maybe it is a drama because I love you so fucking much, I don't know what I did to deserve you and I feel like you are going to slip away" His voice was almost a low growl in his chest his eyes were now fixed on my lips. Before I had a chance to respond his lips covered mine with a hungry kiss his hands wrapping around my wrists keeping my hands pinned above my head. I craved the feeling of his body against mine, I needed to feel every single inch of him. I brushed my tongue over his moaning quietly against his lips as his hand moved to the zipper of my dress yanking it open in one swift moment. My silk gown slid down my body pooling at my feet leaving me completely vulnerable in nothing but a black lace thong and my red stilettos. Edward pulled back briefly letting his eyes run over my body like he was eyeing up his next victim, the mere thought of it made my whole body tingle and ache for him.

I took his brief break in attention to my full advantage as I pulled my hands from his grasp gripping the material of his shirt ripping the rest of the buttons open before pushing it off his large shoulders. I pressed my body against his dragging my nails down his chest ensuring to leave a mark as I unfastened the front of his dress pants. My control was soon taken away as I was scooped off of the ground by the huge man that I had fallen so in love with. Edward's lips found mine again in a kiss that was filled with pure lust for one another, I tried to fight back a giggle in an attempt to keep up my angry act as he laid me back on the kitchen table where we shared every meal...it was becoming quite clear that we were about to share another one. I bit my lower lip letting my eyes fall closed as he kissed down my body stopping at my breast. My cheeks flushed as his tongue circled my nipple teasingly his hot breath sending a new sensation rippling through me. My back arched off of the table as his teeth grazed over my breast as he sucked lightly leaving a little purple mark. His attention soon turned to the one part of my body which was begging for every once of his attention. I stole a glance down at him feeling my breath catch in my throat as he ran his tongue over the lace of my thong teasingly.

"Edward...please..." I whispered in a weak voice, one which I was less than proud of. I had lost this battle and I could tell by Edward's smug smirk he was well aware of the fact too. I lifted my hips instantly as he hooked his fingers around the lace of my panties before sliding them down my legs leaving me in nothing but a pair of heels. He lowered himself down over my body hovering his lips over mine as he slipped his hand between my legs teasingly. I opened my mouth to protest before letting out a moan as he brushed his thumb over my aching clit. I couldn't take the teasing any longer I needed to feel him. I needed him to take me in every way possible, I knew that this would be my punishment. "Please...I'm sorry" I whispered leaning up in an attempt to kiss him.

"Bullshit" He whispered before pulling his hand back with the full intention of leaving me sprawled on the table frustrated and pleading. I felt the rage build in me again as I grabbed the front of his pants pushing them down his legs pulling his hips against mine as I locked him in a vice grip with my legs.

"You're such a dick..I need you to fuck me...show me how angry you are" I moaned quietly in his ear locking my arms around his neck, I tried to hide my proud smile as he untangled himself from my grip before pulling me off to the table turning me around to press my ass against him. My heart pounded with excitement as he pushed me to lay down on the hard wooden surface before gripping my hips tightly. I bit my lip in anticipation as I pressed back against him playfully, I tried to fight back my giggle as he moaned in frustration. "I want you to give it to me..." I breathed feeling all too confident in my skills.

"I don't want another word, is that clear?" Edward said coldly as he leaned down to my ear running his hands over my arms before fixing my hands to lay my palms flat on the cold table. I nodded with a nervous giggle as he guided himself into me, it was everything that I craved. This was a side of Edward Cullen which I had never witnessed in our short time together...the only thing that would make this better would be his prison uniform. Edward moved against me as an almost punishing pace as his hands gripped my hips tightly keeping me in place. My lips parted instantly as I let out a groan which dripped with pure ecstasy, my whole body almost burned for him as he pounded against me over and over. "Turn over.." He almost mumbled as he tried to catch his breath, I stood up with shaky legs as I turned to face him again perching on the edge of the table moving my legs to wrap around him again. I instantly leaned up kissing him deeply as he moved into me again. I knotted my hands in his hair trying to keep him as close to me as possible, I let out another strangled moan against his lips as I dug my heel into the small of his back.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered against his lips letting my teeth graze over his lower lip feeling his body tensing. It was my time to shine-I was going to own the finale. I pushed him back with a smug smirk before climbing off of the bed trying to keep my poise as I strutted towards the bedroom, I stole a glance over my shoulder nodding for him to follow. He shook his head in disbelief as he stalked towards me his arms instantly wrapping around my body, although we were fighting I needed to have him exactly where I wanted him. I couldn't give him the chance to run. I pressed my ass back against his throbbing length as his lips traced over the curve of my neck, I crawled to the middle of the bed wiggling my ass playfully giggling quietly. Edward soon followed suit and moved to kneel on the bed before pulling me to straddle him keeping my back against his chest. I was in full view of the mirrored doors of the closet and it only made my blood flush a darker shade of red. I snaked my arm to loop around his neck as I rolled my hips slowly watching Edward's tattooed hand trace down my body again as he began to rub my sweet spot. I clenched my lower lip firmly between my teeth letting my fingers tangle in his hand again as my whole body began to tremble.

"Eyes on the mirror.." Edward whispered as he sucked below my ear sending me over the edge, I let out a loud cry of pleasure as I rolled my hips slowly feeling his grip tighten on my body as he fell over the edge hiding his face in my neck. I wet my lips trying to catch my breath as I relaxed back against his chest lazily our eyes finally meeting in the mirror. I almost whimpered in protest as he moved me out of his lap climbing off of the bed heading for the bathroom to clean up before bed. I wrapped my arms around myself kicking off the heels as I tip toed down the hall slipping into the bathroom seeing him lathering up his body in the shower. I took a nervous breath before stepping into the shower with him letting the hot water run over my body.

"Did we make up...I'm sorry for what I said in the car" I said quietly as I began to lather up my hair looking up at him waiting for some kind of reaction.

"Feeling guilty, huh? Maybe we should get married or something now. That is what we do isn't it?" Edward said seriously as he rinised the soap from his hair looking down at me. I turned away feeling my eyes fill with tears again.

"I just said I was sorry. I didn't act out of guilt...you have no idea how in love with you I am. Just forget it.." I sniffled running my hands through my hair before stepping out wrapping the towel around my body. I lay as close to the edge of the bed as possible after drying off and slipping into my pajamas, I kept my eyes firmly closed as Edward shuffled closer pulling me back against his chest.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that" He whispered leaving kisses over my cheek.

"Aro just got exactly what he wanted..."

"I know..he only has a couple more days left to fuck with me"

"Days? You are going through with it?" I frowned turning to face him tangling my legs with his under the covers.

"I should have known that you would find out" He mumbled laughing quietly as his eyes closed.

"You are not going there alone...I want you to teach me how to shoot"

"Not a fucking chance" He whispered sleepily before relaxing against me as he drifted into a sex fulled sleep.

I really hate Aro! The lemon sucked but ahhh well there it is haha. Let me know what you think! Lauren xx
