I AM SO SORRY for the late update! I have been fighting ear infections and fever AND I left my zip drive at work over the weekend LOL On my knees begging forgiveness! I can't believe I left my drive, I don't go anywhere without it, I felt naked all weekend! HAHA But I also needed that writing time! Chapter 12 is my last pre-written chapter. 13 is almost done and the outline for 14 is pretty much complete but...I gotta get on the ball!

S.M. owns all that Twilight goodness, I am just playing :) See ya at the bottom!

We make it into the office about 30 minutes before anyone else arrives so Edward holds my hand all the way to my office door. He turns and gives me a long kiss and I can't help but moan into his mouth.

"Well Puss, I gave you that list yesterday of what I need you working on first so just get those cases out and start going over them and see what we need to get done. If you need anything I will be in my office most of the day going over the Whitlock-Brandon prenup," he says gently as he is caressing my face, like he knows how hard it's going to be to hear about Jasper's prenup.

PAIN! I take a deep breath and smile up at him. I don't want to make him feel bad after what happened last night and this morning and I am pining after another man.

"Sure, you left me with enough work to take me years! I better get on it. I need to check my email too, Aro was supposed to email me today. Apparently he has some speedo vacation pics he can't wait for me to see. I just pray the speedo isn't so tiny his peen pokes through anywhere. Seen that before and still trying to brain bleach that site away," I said giggling.

"I could have gone the rest of my life not knowing that, Puss," Edward chuckles as he walks me into my office.

"Well in that case, I will be sure to forward any pictures I get from him," I stick my tongue out at him.

"Don't stick it out unless you plan to let me play with it, baby."

I walk up to him and kiss him hard and I shove my tongue into his mouth. We kiss like that until we have to break apart for breath.

"How's that for playing with it?"

He grabs my hand and puts it on his cock, "Does that answer your question?"

The bastard smirks at me.

"Yum! I can't wait till I can use my tongue to play with that again!"

"Soon, Puss…soon," he whispers.

We hear the elevator doors open and break completely apart, he kisses his thumb and then presses it to my lips. I slip it into my mouth and suck hard. He winks at me then walks through our connecting bathroom and sits down at his desk.

I take my jacket off and put it and my purse in my closet and walk over to my desk and start up my computers and log into the server then pull up my email. Oh FUCK! There is one from Jasper. My hands are shaking as I click on the link to open it up.

SUBJECT: My case

Isabella,

You want to pull the formal shit with me, then fine. I refuse for my files to be turned over to anyone else. I specifically requested you as my attorney and I will accept nothing else. You want our relationship to professional, then act like a fucking professional and take my case. There is no conflict of interest whatsoever as there will be nothing between us ever again that could possibly constitute a conflict.

I will be calling you tomorrow to start work on my various affairs and I will not be going through Edward to do it. You are who I want. Period! I am sure that it would be bad for your future at the firm if I were to take my business elsewhere because you refused to represent me. I don't mean to be a dick, but I will do everything I can to get what I want and you should know by now…I only want you.

One of the things that I always admired about you was your…willing submission…to anything and everything I requested of you and I can't fucking wait to experience that again. I look forward to speaking to you tomorrow either by phone or, preferably, in person, but there will be no more impersonal emails.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jasper Whitlock, MD, Ph.D.

Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT!

"EDWARD!" I call out between our offices.

"Yeah Puss?"

"Um, do you happen to have an email from Jasper?"

"Let me check." There is a pause. "SHIT! Hang on let me print it off and bring it to you, let me see what he sent you."

He walks in and hands me a piece of paper as he leans over my shoulder to read my screen.

SUBJECT: My affairs at your firm

Mr. Masen,

As you know I specifically requested Ms. Swan to handle my affairs for me. She sent me an email declining to work for me, citing a conflict of interest. I have sent her an email letting her know that it was unacceptable and I expect her to be the one handling my file.

I understand she is a third year law student and will need to be under a supervising attorney, you. If this is unacceptable to you I will have no choice but to find legal counsel elsewhere. As a named partner, I know you realize just how devastating losing my business would be to your firm. I will be contacting Isabella tomorrow to start on everything that I need to have done. She has indicated that she wants a strictly professional relationship by her impersonal emails to me and she will get those same impersonal actions from me.

Our 'personal life' stopped three years ago and as I am sure my fiancée will not appreciate if anything started back up now. In fact, I will not be sharing with Mary Alice my past association with Ms. Swan, and I would appreciate it if you and your entire firm would keep that fact to yourselves as well. I will be speaking to you and Ms. Swan tomorrow.

Jasper Whitlock

"That fucking son of a bitch! Bella Baby, if you want to decline working for him just based on his email to you, then you will have the entire firm's support. He was completely unprofessional and that is sexual harassment. Say the word Bells and we fire him as a client."

Edward is PISSED.

"No, no. Don't worry about it," I take a deep breath, "after everything I told you last night about the shit I have been through, handling Jasper Whitlock will be a walk in the park. Besides, from your email it sounds like the quicker we get done and he gets married the sooner he will be out of my hair. He said he doesn't want anything started, well, good. I don't either."

"Baby, you also told me last night that you are in love with him, isn't it going to be too hard on you to handle this prenup so he can get married to another woman?"

"Was…I was in love with him. But honestly, how much in love with him could I have been when I knew absolutely nothing about the man? Looking back it had to have just been lust. I promise sweetheart, I'm good."

"You weren't good yesterday."

"I was shocked yesterday. I never in a million years imagined running into him and especially in my office! I will get right on this first thing, quicker I get it over with the quicker it will be done, right?"

"Ok, but I want all correspondence to be cc'd and forwarded to me so I can make sure that he stays appropriate with you. And I will be speaking to him today about the email he sent you and let him know it will not happen again or we will have to fire him as a client," Edward says his face turning red.

"Edward, you don't need to do that, I can handle it."

"No, Bella. I will not let anyone talk to my girlfriend that way, ever. Client or not, doesn't fucking matter."

"I'm your girlfriend? What happened to starting as friends with benefits?" I say smiling trying to calm him down.

"What?" he looks confused.

"You just called me your girlfriend."

"I did? Well...," now he is red for an entirely different reason.

"You want me to be your girlfriend?"

After the email from Jasper this is definitely going to come back and bite me hard in the ass but…what the hell.

"Well…yeah, but I will be happy with just friends with benefits if that's all you want," he says scratching the back of his neck.

It's my turn to blush now as I whisper, "Ok."

"Is that a yes?" He gives me the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

"Yes, it's a yes to just dating. More than fuck buddies less than girlfriend."

Does that shit even make sense?Fuck thinking, Bella just go with your hoo-ha…um I mean heart.

"I can live with dating, Puss."

He picks me up spins me around while kissing me. Huh, maybe it did make sense…He stops kissing me when the door slams and we hear someone clearing their throat.

FUCK! Jessica and Tanya's dad, Eleazar, are standing there glaring daggers at us…we have just been caught.

"I told you Mr. Volturi, they are having an affair," Jessica said with a smirk, "Tanya was so upset when she and Alice came to my house last night. Tanya was telling me that she heard the two of them fucking when she went by Edward's condo yesterday to spend time with him."

"Edward what in the hell is the meaning of this? You move your whore half way across the country just for a convenient fuck?" Eleazar roars then turns to me, "And you, get your shit and get out, you are fired. You are nothing but a cheap, gold digging whore and I won't have you in the same city as Edward and Tanya! In fact, leave and we will just ship your shit to you, that way I can be sure you aren't stealing anything."

"Mr. Volturi, it isn't what you think," I try before Edward cuts me off.

"No, baby we don't have to explain anything to him. And he doesn't have the right to fire you either so don't you worry.

"Eleazar, I believe that you need to excuse Jessica as this has absolutely nothing to do with her. I will be happy to explain everything to you but you will never, ever speak to or about Bella that way again and you will be apologizing to her or I will have you removed from the building and you will not be permitted back."

"I will do no such thing! There is no way in hell I am about to apologize to my son-in-law's whore and you will not ever threaten me again. I made this firm…"

"Yes, you made it, but I made it successful! I bought out your shares when you retired and you have no authority here any longer. Now, Jessica if you value your job I suggest you get the fuck out of here and we will be discussing your job security and conditions for your continued employment later," Edward growls out.

I have never seen him looking so fierce and honestly he is scaring the shit out of me.

"Baby, I am taking this asshole next door and when we are done and he knows everything we will be back here so he can apologize to you."

I can feel the tears that had been stinging my eyes have now started falling as I stand there and just shake my head.

"No Edward. Don't do this. It's not worth it, I am not worth it."

"You are always worth it, Sunshine. Don't you ever fucking forget it," a voice commands from my office door.

"Jasper!" I gasp.

"Whitlock, you and I will be having a discussion later as well. I won't put up with you talking to Bella the way you did in that email you sent her. I am trying to decide whether to fire your ass as a client or not," Edward shouts.

Jasper just ignores Edward and looks at me.

"Sunshine, you look absolutely terrified. Come here," Jasper softly implores.

"I can't," I whisper looking at Edward.

"Isabella, I said come here. I am going to take you for some tea and get you out of this cluster fuck for a little while."

"Jazz, I can't go with you, not now. Not after everything," I am pleading with him.

"Jesus Bella, we are not running away together, I am taking you down the street to Starbucks and ordering you something to drink. We used to be friends and that is all this is. A friend taking you away from a shitty situation and will bring you right back here when you are calmed down. Now don't make me say it again, come Sunshine."

And I go. God help me, I go.

And I would go too, in fact Jasper wouldn't have had to say it more than once! HAHA! I want to thank everyone who is following and adding me and/or DC to their favorites!
