A/N – So here's the next chapter,I hope everyone likes it and I'm sorry I didn't get it out yesterday.
Disclaimer – I am not the wonderful, extremely talented Stephenie Meyer, so none of the fantastic characters below belong to me in any way.
Bella's POV
I had woken up to an empty bed, which I have to be honest with myself and admit I was a little disappointed when I didn't wake up with Edward like the last time. I could hear the T.V. on the living room and assumed everyone was in there, so I went into Edward's closet and threw on one of my extra pairs of sweats and a T-shirt. When I reached the living room I could tell that they had been talking about Edward and me; he looked really upset and uncomfortable and Alice seemed a little too giddy.
"Hey Bella, how are you feeling?" Alice asked innocently. With that comment my suspicions were confirmed, they had definitely been talking about me and Edward
"I'm fine. Thank you." I knew a small blush had formed on my face but there was nothing I could do about it.
Edward held out his arms to me and I quickly walked over and nestled into his embrace. I inhaled the sweet smell of his skin and smiled. I loved that smell; I especially loved it when it surrounded me while Edward and I made love.
"Humph" I turned around and looked at Edward.
"Is something wrong?" I questioned him.
"No, nothing at all love" he said as he placed a small kiss on my lips. They were still swollen from our earlier kisses and tingled just a little bit. I kind of liked it, I wonder if Edward could make another part of my body tingle? Jeez Bella, I scolded myself, use some self control.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked as I turned to Alice, trying to distract myself.
"Since today is Saturday I was thinking we could go shopping!!"
"Alice, do I have to?" I asked her. I heard Edward chuckle and knew he would be of no help.
"Yes Bella, you have to. Besides, all the guys are coming with us."
"Why do we need to go with you?" Jasper asked her with a wary tone in his voice.
"So you can help us pick out lingerie. It is for you and we want to make sure you like it before we buy it."
Oh God, I was not going to the mall and trying on lingerie in front of Edward. Uh-uh, no way, I refused.
Emmett began to speak, probably trying to plead his way out of going, but Rosalie spoke first.
"Don't you dare argue with me Emmett, you are in enough trouble as it is" She warned.
"What did he do this time?" I whispered in Edward's ear.
"He was just being Emmett" he whispered back. I smiled as I thought of any number of things Emmett could have said. I loved my big brother but he was just so stupid sometimes.
"Do I really have to go with you Alice? You could just pick up something for me like you usually do." I pleaded with her to let me off the hook.
"This is different Bella. Now that you and Edward have progressed to the physical aspect of your relationship you need a new wardrobe that represents the new you."
What was wrong with the old me, I thought with a frown.
"Don't worry love I'll be there the whole time in case I need to rescue you." Edward promised.
Well, maybe I could go and as soon as Alice got distracted by something in the store, Edward could help me escape her evil clutches.
"Okay" I reluctantly gave in.
"I knew you would, now let's go get ready. Come on Rose you can do her hair." Alice was by my side in a second and began dragging me up the stairs behind her.
"I guess I'll be right back" I yelled down to Edward.
Alice took me all the way to her massive bathroom and sat me down in front of the mirror. I took a moment to catch my breath and looked up into the two expectant faces of sisters.
"So Bella" Alice spoke excitedly.
"Yes, Alice" I had known this conversation was coming, not that it helped any.
"Well, we just wanted to know if there was anything you wanted to talk about."
"Or if there are any questions you wanted to ask." Rosalie added.
"No, I think I'm fine" There was no way my face was not going to be stained red after this.
"Oh come on Bella just give us a few tiny details" Alice begged.
"I'm sure you heard enough to know I thoroughly enjoyed it" I mumbled quietly, although with their vampire hearing I knew they heard me.
"Yes, but from what we heard Edward was enjoying himself too. I am a little jealous you guys were almost as loud as Emmett and me." Rosalie commented with a giant grin on her face.
"Okay fine you don't have to tell us anything, but I just wanted to make sure that he didn't hurt you at all."
"No Alice" I sighed. "He was absolutely perfect both times"
"Both times" they laughed.
"Yes, both times" I knew I was blushing, but I also couldn't help but laugh with my giggling sisters.
"I have to admit though it was a little different then what I had expected."
"How so?" Rose asked as she pulled the curling iron out of Alice's vanity drawer.
"Edward was more commanding then I thought he would be, more dominant."
"He was commanding, of what?" Alice asked me with a perplexed expression on her face.
"Well he told me that I had ummm disobeyed him and that he was going to have to ummm punish me." My face was definitely red now.
"He WHAT!!" Rose yelled.
"What kind of punishment did he give you?"
"Does it really matter Alice?"
"Oh yes, it matters"
I did not want to talk about this anymore, but I could see by the looks on their faces there was no way out.
"He ummm… didn't let me…you know…uh…finish…until he…uh…gave me permission." I finally stuttered out.
At first neither one of them said anything. They just stared at me in shock before falling over onto the floor laughing.
"WOW, I never knew he had it in him."
"I know who would have thought Edward Cullen would have a kinky side. That sounds like something Emmett would do."
A few moments later they regained their composure enough to finish my hair and makeup.
"Did you like Edward like that Bella?"
"Yeah, I did" I sighed happily. "It was really sexy"
"Awww, our little Bella is becoming a woman"
"Thanks Rose" I said sarcastically.
"Okay Bella we will leave you alone for now, let's pick out something to wear"
I was so thankful that they let it drop that I didn't complain once while they played Bella Barbie dress-up. Alice finally decided on a pretty floral dress that went down to right above my knees. It was actually really comfortable and I thanked her for buying it for me. I slipped on some basic white flat sandals and started to go back downstairs. I was already missing Edward terribly and I couldn't wait to be back in his arms.
"Wait just one more second Bella"
"Yes, Alice" I said, mildly irritated.
"Never mind, you'll find out soon enough"
"Okay, can we go now?"
"Of course Bella, we were just trying to give you a heads up" Now that got my attention.
"A heads up about what?"
"Nothing bad, actually you will enjoy it immensely"
"O-Kay"
"Don't worry about it, let's go"
Well that was somewhat confusing, I thought as we headed down the stairs, but Edward was at the bottom waiting for me and I forgot all about it.
"You look spectacular my love. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes" I said as Edward put his arm around my waist.
"I'm glad. I'm actually looking forward to this trip."
"You are?"
"Oh yes, I most definitely am"
With that we all headed out to the mall. I wonder what had Edward so happy; I guess he will tell me when we get there. Right now I was just glad to be beside the man I loved.
A/N – I know that was another rather boring chapter, but it is leading up to some very interesting things. The next lemon will be in the next chapter and yes it will be in a dressing room, so PLEASE review and I will post it tomorrow. Thank you again to my amazing beta heartsandroses, you are simply the best.
