(A/N): Special thanks to my beta Caius09 for her words of wisdom and for allowing me to have someone to e-mail randomly about everything. Good times. Okay guys, this is the first chapter I have written myself. I know my writing is different than Athey's, but I tried to mimic hers as best I could. Please feel free to let me know what you think about it. Tell me what I can do better if there is something you don't like. Thank you in advance for reading. Actual plot is coming, I promise.


BPOV

Morning came and I awoke to the most beautiful sight imaginable: Edward sparkling against the morning sun filtering through his practically fully glassed wall. I stared in awe for a moment before he kissed me gently on the lips bringing me back from my silent worship of all that is him. Realizing his close proximity, I pulled him closer and he deepened the kiss.

"Wow. Good morning." I yawned into my hand as soon as he pulled away- a pointless attempt to hide my morning breath. He'd already tasted it so there was little I could do to stop it now.

"Good morning." Edward beamed back at me. "Did you sleep well?"

"I did." I nodded gently and stretched my limbs. After a few pops of my joints and few kisses graciously given from Edward, I allowed my hands to trail over his upper body, becoming aroused almost instantly. I hadn't gotten too far in my attempt when Edward rolled his eyes at the door.

"What did the door do to you?" I asked giggling, knowing full well that there was someone on the other side of it. I removed my hands from his chest and pushed the blush from my cheeks before Alice could come in.

"Oh it's not the door that I'm rolling my eyes at; it's the annoying little imp on the other side of it." Edward chuckled.

"Well this 'annoying little imp' is coming in, invited or not." Alice huffed from the other side of the door. Next thing I knew, she was sitting beside me on the bed, a wide smile spread across her face.

"Good morning Bella. I trust you slept well? As you can see, it's clearly sunny today." Alice said in a teacher-like voice causing me to giggle. I could feel Edward chuckling behind me which caused my body to vibrate slightly.

"Yes, Alice, I can see that." I responded, my giggling growing by the second due to Edward's vibrations against my back. My entire body trembled from his laughter.

"As it turns out, it will only be sunny for the next hour and seven minutes. That being said, your agenda today is to take a shower- alone of course-" She glared in Edward's direction over my head, causing us both to laugh louder, "allow me to dress you in one of your new outfits, then come downstairs for a full breakfast prepared by Esme."

"Of course Alice. Is there any reason for your well planned agenda?" I smiled sweetly at her, earning an eye roll and more laughter from Edward.

"You know me all too well. As soon as the clouds return, you, Rose, and I are going out of town for a little while to shop. We will have you back in time to have dinner with your father. In the meantime, Edward is to stay here and play XBox with his brothers."

"But Alice… We just shopped yesterday! My poor human body can't handle it!" I thought of my aching limbs, forced to endure another round of shopping with Alice. Every part of me groaned in protest.

"Oh trust me Bella, this shopping is much different than yesterday." She smiled a mischievous smile at me before standing. If Edward could cry, he would be in tears from his laughter. I couldn't understand what was so humorous about me going shopping with Alice. It's not like he doesn't remember my misery from before, much less the misery from yesterday.

"Get moving, we're on a schedule here Bella." Alice giggled as she tapped her watch-less wrist and left the room, closing the door behind her. Edward's laugher slowed in her absence, but only slightly.

"What was that about?" I asked confused.

"Trust me love, this is a shopping experience you won't soon forget." Edward said between laughs. I couldn't possibly imagine what could be so funny. Before I had time to ponder it, he lifted me from the bed and rushed me into the bathroom. I felt my stomach hit my throat, but I kept myself from getting sick. I probably would have enjoyed the speed had I been forewarned.

"May I join you for your shower?" Edward purred in my ear as he lowered me onto the cool tiled floor.

"Alice said I needed to shower alone." I said to him, feigning innocence. I gave him my sexiest smile to let him know I would be more than happy to have him shower with me.

"She will get over it. Eternity is a long time to let one little rule being broken upset you. I'm sure she saw this coming."

Before I could respond, he was already pulling our clothes off. I moaned softly when his hand grazed my naked flesh. This only caused him to work faster than before. In the blink of an eye, we were both nude and he was turning the water on in the shower.

"Ready?" Edward asked me as he stepped in and held his hand out for me to join him. I desperately needed to relieve my bladder but it could wait. I knew no sexual activity would occur in the shower. I was too self-conscious knowing his family could hear every noise. I was even more self-conscious knowing his parents could hear every little noise.

Stepping into the hot water felt wonderful. The only higher euphoria came when Edward tilted my head back and began to wash my hair for me. It was a wonderful sensation to feel his fingers on my scalp, gliding smoothly through my hair. I could hear the noises escaping my mouth loud and clear, and embarrassment set in when I took the moment to remind myself that his family could hear it too. I snapped my jaw shut and enjoyed the sensation in silence.

All of my efforts to remain quiet flew out the window when Edward began to gently scrub my skin with a puffy loofah. The sensation of the soap trailing off of me mixed with the burn his fingers left behind on their quest to clean every part of me was too much to handle. I locked my arms around him and attached my lips to his. He didn't hesitate to pull me closer and deepen the kiss.

When it was time for me to catch my breath, his lips refused to leave my body. They trailed from my mouth down to my jaw then to my neck. I was gasping for air, silently praying that Edward's family wasn't listening or had left the house to allow us some privacy. Regardless, I wouldn't dare ask him to stop now, embarrassment be damned.

Able to breathe again, he attached his lips back to mine and continued to trail his hands over my slick and soapy skin. The feeling was beyond words and I couldn't help but feel my body begging for release. As if he could read my thoughts, Edward ran his hands down my body to my thighs where he scooped me up off the shower floor and held be gently against the wall.

He continued to kiss down my jaw and neck again, causing both of us to pant loudly. Without warning, he inserted himself into me. We both moaned against each other as I threw my head back against the shower wall. He plastered kisses along my neck and chest as he continued his movements within. After a few more thrusts, he balanced my weight on one arm and used the other to stroke my little bundle of nerves. My body arched against his touch and I whimpered slightly. Understanding what I needed, Edward applied a little more pressure and sped up his movements to match his thrusts.

It wasn't long before the coil tightened in my abdomen and caused me to moan even louder as I dug my nails into his skin to the best of my ability. When I did, a deep growl escaped his lips. The sound sent shivers through my body and pushed me over the edge. I fell back harder into the wall as I allowed a full orgasm to rake across my body while moaning his name. As soon as it ended, Edward and I were both panting and shaking slightly, his head against my chest.

After a moment, he lowered me back to the shower floor and kissed me deeply.

"I see now why Alice said to allow you to take your shower alone."

"Take a shower alone and miss out on that? No thank you." I kissed him again before turning to the shower head to rinse the excess soap off. I relished in the feel of his fingertips running up and down my back.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Edward smiled sheepishly before helping me to rinse the places of soap I had missed.

"What's wrong?" I asked when I swapped places with him so I could help with his bathing.

"Oh it's nothing." The lie seemed convincing enough, but I wasn't buying it. The look on his face made it impossible to believe.

"Edward?" I asked again, my hands on my hips.

"It's just that… I'm not even in the room yet and Emmett is already giving me hell."

I took in his words before they registered in my mind.

The entire family heard every pant, every moan, all of it. Oh God…Damn my crazy teenage hormones overriding my senses.

"They heard everything… Didn't they?" I felt my cheeks heating beyond control and the need to crawl in a dark corner and cry set in.

"Unfortunately, yes. Don't worry love, if you can remember correctly, I already told you that there are no secrets in this house, as much as I would like for there to be. It isn't like they don't do the exact same thing." Edward tried to reassure me- and himself- but it wasn't working. Sure they did the exact same thing, but I wasn't them and they heard everything! I would never live down this embarrassment even if I lived for eternity. Before, when Edward and I had made love, we were always alone. Be it Isle Esme, or our own cottage, there were no vampire ears to hear it. Now… Ugh.

"Well, let's get dressed and get the embarrassment over with." I mumbled once he was finished rinsing the soap off.

After the water was turned off and I was dry, I shooed Edward away to allow me a human moment. I turned on the shower, the sink, and flushed the toilet while I relieved my bladder in hopes that it would drown out the noise. I didn't need any other cause of embarrassment today. That done and teeth brushed, I stepped into Edward's bedroom where Alice was waiting, her arms folded.

"I told you to take a shower alone. Now we're all behind in schedule!" She threw her hands in the air in frustration.

"I'm sorry." I squeaked from where I was, the blush returning to my cheeks. I looked around for Edward but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Yeah yeah, come put this on." Alice acted angry, but I could still see her smile. To avoid further argument, I changed into the clothes on the bed as she asked. As soon as they were on, she was already pulling a brush through my wet hair.

"Be glad I expected you to ignore me or else all of our plans would have been thrown completely off schedule." Alice sang, her happy voice back in place.

"I'm sorry." I repeated.

"It's okay. Now hold still." She instantly had a hair dryer in her hands and quickly got everything dry, amazingly, without making me bald. Her skills would make any beautician cry.

"Since I'm in a rush, I'm leaving your hair down, you will probably want it later, but that is beside the point. As for the makeup, close your eyes for a second."

I wasn't sure what she meant by wanting my hair down later, but I closed my eyes as instructed anyway. I felt her gently touch my eyelids before she told me to open them again. I could only assume that she applied eye makeup, but there was no mirror for me to see how it looked.

"Just a little base here and we're all set." I saw her hands move, but only barely, before she announced that she was finished. I couldn't be happier that Alice's 'Bella Barbie Time' was over so quickly. Usually her excitement forced her to spend even more time on making me attractive.

Standing to face the mirror, I loved what she had done, though it wasn't much. The outfit consisted of skinny blue jeans, a long sleeved gray sweater, and a black short sleeved fleece on top. As for the shoes, Alice surprisingly didn't attempt to force me into heels. Instead, she had black boots that were soft and warm which came up to my calves. The makeup was a light natural color which made my eyes pop. It was beautiful and best of all, I was warm and there was no skin to show. The perfect outfit.

"I love it Alice. Thank you." I hugged her tightly.

"As I knew you would. Now let's get a move on. Esme has your breakfast ready downstairs then we have to go." I moved to go to the door before I froze. I could just imagine the looks I would receive from everyone once I was downstairs and had nothing to hide behind.

Alice sensed my discomfort and said, "Don't worry Bella, Edward got the boys to leave to spare you some embarrassment. Emmett put up a fight, but don't worry about him, he was convinced to leave."

I thought back, well, thought forward to my change and all the ridicule I had to endure from Emmett about my sex life. The difference between then and now is, now he had actually heard the ordeal, whereas then, he could only imagine and put words into my mouth. Too bad I couldn't arm wrestle him to shut his trap sooner.

I timidly followed Alice downstairs where I was greeted by the smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Esme really went out of her way to feed me. Walking around the corner towards the wonderful smell, Esme was there to greet me, plate in hand.

"Good morning Bella. She smiled kindly at me, not giving away at all that she had overheard her son and I being intimate only minutes before.

"Good morning Esme. Thank you so much for making me breakfast."

"It was no trouble at all dear. Here, have a seat. What would you like to drink? I have milk, apple juice, orange juice, pretty much any fruit juice you can name really."

"Milk is fine, thank you." Without waiting for my drink, I dug into my food. I knew Esme was an excellent cook, especially since she didn't actually eat, but I'd forgotten how wonderful her food tasted. I was surprised that I even took a breath between chewing and swallowing. All too soon, the food was gone. I drank the milk quickly and carried my plate to the sink to wash it.

"Don't worry about that, I can do it. It's not every day that I actually get to cook and wash dishes." Esme said as she appeared behind me.

"It was wonderful Esme. Thank you so much."

"Anytime Bella. I do love to cook." She continued cleaning the dishes and seemed to drift off into her own world. I could remember that she loved to take care of me. It wasn't often that there was a person who actually needed to be cooked for in her home. I was happy that she was happy. Before I could think too much of it, I felt arms wrap around me from behind.

"How was breakfast?" Edward whispered into my ear, his fingers tracing down my arm resulting in a shiver from me.

"It was wonderful. How was your morning?"

"Hectic." He sighed then kissed my cheek.

"Emmett huh?" I gave him a knowing groan.

"Not just him, but Jasper and Carlisle too! They both joined in."

"Seems like you had it much worse than I did. I was just dressed and forced to wear makeup. How did you get rid of them all?"

"Well, Carlisle is upstairs in his study, but I told Emmett and Jasper I would play XBox all day today if they would stay away from the house until after you left. They agreed."

"Alice mentioned you playing XBox while we're gone today. I guess this is what she was talking about."

"Speaking of leaving, brush your teeth and let's get this show on the road!" Alice sang from behind me. Speak of the little devil and she shall appear.

"I'm going, I'm going. A little help?" Edward smiled before scooping me up and running upstairs. I brushed my teeth quickly, snuck in as many kisses as I could, and Edward ran me back downstairs where Alice and Rosalie were waiting, hands on their hips.

"Kiss him quickly and let's go already." Alice said, rolling her eyes.

I did as I was told and followed them to the car. Well, I was more or less dragged to the car, but either way, I made it there. I was annoyed at being forced to go shopping again, but a little excited to see what had Edward all worked up earlier.

"Hey Bella? Be sure to pick out something nice okay?" I turned to see Edward in the doorway, his laugher easily distinguishable over the purr of Rosalie's convertible.

"What is he talking about?" I mumbled to myself but quickly pushed it aside to try to enjoy time with the girls.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

In what seemed like no time at all with Rosalie's fast driving, we pulled into the parking lot of a place called Castle Megastore. Looking around, I realized I had no idea where we were.

"Um… Where are we exactly?" I climbed out of the car and was slowly led to the large front doors by Rosalie.

"We are in Silverdale, Washington Bella. This is Castle Megastore." Rosalie's smile grew as she pulled me towards the door. Upon stepping inside, I wanted to turn and run as fast as my legs could carry me. If only I were still a vampire and stood a chance at outrunning Alice and Rosalie.

"Well, go pick out something." Alice said brightly and without shame.

We were in an adult store. There were adult toys, videos, outfits, and other sexual pleasures. I highly doubted that my face would be able to get any redder. I dropped my face into my hands and felt my hair fall in a thick sheet around me. I couldn't be more thankful that Alice knew this was coming and decided to leave it down.

"Ladies, I need to see your IDs please." A man said as he walked in our direction. I was instantly relieved. I was underage and would be forced to leave. Thank you God!

"Here you go sir." Alice smiled brightly. I felt the color suddenly drain from my face as she handed the man three drivers licenses.

"Alright ladies, enjoy." Alice and Rosalie thanked him as they led me away. I snatched my fake license from Alice's hand and cast her the most evil glare I could manage.

"Oh come on Bella, we're here to have fun. Besides, I told you it would be a shopping trip you would never forget did I not?" Alice looped her arm through mine and led me towards the adult toys. Rosalie slipped away to the section of sexy outfits. I really did not want to imagine her wearing any of it.

"Oh God Alice, please don't make me do this." Panic set off in my chest and my heart sped up drastically. Even the thought of leaving this store with any merchandise made me cringe.

"Oh come on Bella. It could be worse. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett could have come with us."

I knew she had a point, but it still didn't change the fact that I was in a sex store with two vampires who expected me to buy something while they themselves bought things. Talk about being close to your sisters.

"Well… maybe just an outfit or something. There isn't anything I need and I don't think Edward would get much enjoyment out of edible panties." I said, my hair still shielding me from as much embarrassment as possible.

"That's true. I could imagine his face while he tried to eat it though."Alice giggled as we walked over to where Rosalie was sifting through the naughty nurse outfits and school girl outfits.

"I guess Edward is enough for her if she doesn't need a little extra help from a toy." Rosalie said as she placed the nurse outfit back on the rack and held the school girl outfit up to her body. It was a simple see through white top that covered nothing but her breasts and tied between them, a red plaid tie to match the micro mini skirt, and hair bands which she could use to make pigtails. She walked away towards a pair of white heels to go with the outfit.

"Oh this is perfect!" Alice squealed. I looked down to see a green and black outfit. Holding it closer, I realized it was a black top that reached just below my breasts which had large slashes across them with long sleeves that were also shredded. From there, a corset shaped green piece made a triangle that sloped down almost to my navel. To go along with the top, there were green and black wings. As for the bottom, it was a skirt that hugged my hips and reached the floor. This would have been fine had there not been two slits that made it all the way up to my crotch. It was almost like a sexy gypsy outfit, but they considered it a vampire costume. The legs were black fishnets.

"I'm sure they have some boots here that would go perfect with this." Alice's eyes trailed off momentarily before she smiled. "Be right back."

I looked at the outfit again and I had to admit, it was very sexy. Though I couldn't imagine that I would be comfortable wearing it, I knew Edward would love it.

"Here you go." Alice said as she handed me calf high lace up black boots with dangerous looking heels. "Just your size."

"Alice, I'll kill myself in these!" I said a little louder than I meant to.

"Oh come on Bella. You only have to stand there long enough for Edward to race across the room at top speed and ravish you. He won't let the big bad heels hurt you." She giggled loudly.

I blushed scarlet and nodded. There was no point in arguing. Whether I wanted this outfit or not, it would be getting purchased one way or the other.

"Well now that you're both settled, I do believe I will get this for myself… and Jasper of course." Alice held up her outfit and I couldn't contain my laughter. It was a green, blue, and gold fairy costume. The pun wasn't lost on me. The top was a very revealing corset, gold with blue down the center. It traced off in a triangle down her stomach. The skirt was green, very short, and frilly with little flowers around the trim. The wings were green and there was a headband that matched the flowers from the skirt. The shoes she picked out to match were sexy green heels with ribbons that she would criss-cross up her legs to her knees.

"Wow Alice… Jasper has interesting taste."

"Well I saw how much he would love this so I decided that it was perfect." She chirped.

"Here you go Bella. It's for those lonely nights when Edward is away hunting." Rosalie said as she forced something in my hand. I was afraid to look down. When I did, I saw a clear rabbit vibrator.

"Oh no, I can't take this. Please, go put it back!" I squealed and tried to push it back into Rose's hands.

"Oh come on Bella. Edward will have to go hunt eventually and it will be a long lonely night. Just enjoy this as my treat to you as a sister." Rosalie said as she held her outfit closer to her. Hearing her actually call me her sister was the deciding factor.

"Fine, I'll take it, but I won't use it."

"Yes you will." Alice sang from behind me. I rolled my eyes and stormed off towards the register. They followed behind me, their giggles echoing through the store.

"Here you go." Rosalie said as she handed her card to the cashier and we all placed our items on the counter.

"Did you ladies find everything you were looking for?" The cashier asked, eyeing Rosalie, probably picturing her in the outfit she chose.

"And then some…" I mumbled, gaining a chuckle from both Alice and Rosalie. Alice was right; this was my most memorable shopping experience ever, and I was positive that the embarrassment would be with me for much longer than I could imagine. Eternity is a long time when your sisters both have flawless memories.

The ride back to Forks was filled with laugher as the three of us sang along to the radio and let the top of the convertible down. Even with my immense embarrassment, I had a great time shopping. I was actually excited to wear the outfit for Edward now that I'd given it more thought.

"Your dad is expecting you home within the next half hour." Alice said as we pulled into the hidden Cullen drive.

"Alright then. I can gather my stuff and be on my way. I had fun, believe it or not. I guess I will see you two tomorrow at school."

At the top of the driveway, we all piled out of Rose's car and I hugged them both before they disappeared into the house. I lifted my single bag and began to walk towards the front door.

"Did you have fun love?" Edward asked from the doorway. He casually walked towards me, his grin almost as bad as Emmett's.

"You could have warned me!" I huffed before running to him and wrapping my arms around his neck, my bag still in my hand.

"So what did you buy?" He purred into my ear, his eyes glancing at the bag I was holding.

"You don't know already? I thought Alice and Rosalie's thoughts would have shown you as soon as they saw you."

"Not a thing. They are both imagining their outfits. Something I truly didn't want to see." Edward cringed but laughed regardless.

"Well I will just have to show you when the time it right." I whispered back softly gaining a growl from him. "But for now, I need to go. Alice said my dad is expecting me home."

"I've already packed your things for you. Would you mind if I accompanied you to your house? I can jump out once we reach the driveway to allow you some alone time with your father."

"That's perfect. I just need to go say goodbye to everyone."

"Well, Rosalie and Alice have already changed and have their mates occupied. Esme and Carlisle left earlier for their own alone time. You're in the clear on goodbyes." Edward kissed me on the lips gently sending chills down my body. "I'll be right back with your things."

Before I could respond, Edward was already gone. In less than five seconds, he was back in front of me, my clothes in hand. He loaded them into my truck before racing back to help me in the driver's seat.

I drove slowly towards my house, in no rush to part with Edward, even if only for a few hours. Having memories of being his wife were beginning to drive me crazy with impatience. Having to relive this portion of my life is absolutely agonizing.

"What are you thinking?" Edward asked as he took my hand in his.

"Just how agonizing it is having these memories of a life together and yet not being able to speed up and get there already. I feel like I'm dragging my feet but I want so badly to enjoy the time I have to be with my parents. It's just so frustrating!"

"I know exactly what you mean. Not having my ring on your finger for the world to know we belong to one another is almost painful. We were married with a child in the life I remember and it's appalling to have to wait. How Alice deals with seeing the future and not becoming overly impatient is beyond me."

"My ring. I didn't think about that." Thinking of the beautiful ring that belonged to Edward's mother made my finger suddenly feel empty.

"I nearly had to solder it on your finger if I remember correctly." Edward chuckled.

"Yeah well I apologize for that. You won't have nearly as much trouble getting it on my finger this time." I smiled reassuringly at him.

"That's good to know."

Before I knew it, I pulled into my driveway. Charlie's cruiser sat parked in his usual spot.

"I'll miss you…" I said quietly.

"As I'll miss you. I'll be back tonight once your father has gone to sleep. I love you my Bella." His lips pressed softly against mine and he was gone.

I held back the tears as my body began to feel empty and trudged inside where my dad sat waiting for a full report of the weekend. I appeased him as best as I could before running upstairs to put my things away, paying special attention to the outfit and item that shan't be named I was forced to accept in Silverdale. Better to hide them well than to have Charlie see them. That is one situation I could never lie myself out of.

After all of my things were safely hidden, I made my way downstairs to start on dinner. I decided to make baked fish, rice, and turnip greens. Very simple and quickly cooked, though not the best meal I've made.

As soon as we were both finished, Charlie snuck away to the tv and I cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishes washed. I tried to take my time before heading to my room because I knew it would be awhile before Edward was able to join me. Instead, I sat on the couch lazily and watched the game with my dad. I couldn't follow a thing, but it was nice to just have him there with me.

When I noticed Charlie begin to yawn, I kissed his head and hurried through my routine. By the time I was finished with everything, Charlie met me in the hallway, dragging his feet towards his room.

"Good night Dad." I said as he walked by me.

"Night Bells." He mumbled back. My excitement grew knowing Edward would be here in minutes. I raced to my room, threw open the window, and waited. Two minutes and eight seconds later, he jumped in and wrapped me in his arms. I fought tears as he carried me to bed and tucked me in before closing the window and joining me under the electric blanket. My day couldn't have ended any more perfectly.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

The next morning, I got ready for school as usual and spent the entire day laughing about this day the first time around. Edward and I shared the story with his family about how he set it up where Tyler would have a chance to ask me to the school's dance. At the mention of a dance, Alice set off about how she would dress me. I moaned loudly, causing everyone at the lunch table to laugh.

"You said so yourself Bella, you didn't go the first time around! Why not go this time?" That was the only reason I was thankful that I hadn't known Alice at this point the first time. I didn't have her trying to force me to go to the dance, only later on when it was time for prom, which I assumed she would make me go to as well.

The rest of the day passed without incident. Alice and Emmett bombarded us with questions about things that happened in our 'before' life. Even Rosalie asked a question or two and it made me feel really bad to tell her what I thought of her the first time. She merely shrugged her shoulders and brushed it off in understanding.

After school, Edward went home to spend time with Esme while Alice and Rosalie were introduced to Charlie. I felt bad introducing them to Charlie before Edward, but it would make introducing him easier if Charlie already knew Alice. Alice was always able to make Charlie do anything, even when he hated Edward.

When it was time for dinner, they both excused themselves to go home and have dinner with their family. I laughed at how quickly Charlie was taken with Alice, and even Rosalie. It is very hard to deny either of them when they lay on the charm. He continued praising them both until after dinner was over and he went to his place in the living room.

I cleaned up and raced upstairs to get ready. I had a little homework to get done before Edward arrived, but it wouldn't be difficult since I'd already done it before.

Homework done, teeth brushed, and Charlie in bed, I waited anxiously for Edward to arrive. He was through the window and had me on the bed before I had time to catch my breath. We made love before I fell asleep in his arms. It was very difficult to keep from moaning too loudly and it made me impatient for the day when we wouldn't have to be silent.


(A/N): No Edward did not wear a condom in the shower, but NO, Bella will not get pregnant this soon. After reading Athey's chapters where she mentioned sex but didn't mention a condom, I assumed that Bella was taking her pills. From here on out, please assume that Bella is on birthcontrol! Thanks!
