Chapter 13: Secrets Between Lovers

Edward's Point of View

This had been the most incredible weekend of my long life. There wasn't any surface in the cabin we hadn't taken advantage of, the tub, the walls, the couch, the kitchen counters, the floors, and the chairs. The only time we left the cabin was late Sunday night to hunt; even then we still wound up naked and panting.

Before checking out I had to pay for a few things, like the bed and the chairs, they just don't make things like they used to. The lady in the office blushed profusely as I paid for the damages. Her imagination started to take a turn for the worse and that was our cue to head out.

We checked out early Monday morning, we would arrive at school around lunch time, giving us plenty of time to think up a plan.

If I told my family Bella and I eloped I would never hear the end of it and we would be bombarded with questions. They would never understand the needs of now, two former virgins' requirements. And the teasing, my god the teasing, that was something I would not subject Bella to if I could help it. Since we were both still in high school there was no way for us to get away for any extended period of time, no that would have to wait till the official wedding, then we can have an official honeymoon.

Bella leaned over the center console and wrapped her arm around mine and laid her head on my shoulder, a beautiful and satisfied smile plastered on her face. She hadn't stopped smiling all weekend, and I had put it there.

"OH!" I was startled by Bella's sudden exclamation. I watched as she dug through her bag and pulled out her cell phone.

Oh was right. We had shut our phones off all weekend, I was so wrapped up in Bella I had actually forgotten, apparently so had she.

"Oh no, 126 text messages and 79 voice mails, I think we're in trouble." Hesitantly she checked her text first. The last hundred or so were just 'call me' and 'call me NOW', the others were 'where are you', 'I can't see you', 'Damn it, what the hell'. It was rather funny. Bella took a deep breath and held it then checked her voice mails.

"What are you doing tonight? Call me," that was her first one, before we went incommunicado. *Delete*

"What the hell is going on? Edward just hung up on me. Do you know why he did that?" *Delete*

"Bella, are you and Edward together? We know his car at your place." *Delete*

"I can't see you. Why won't you call?" *Delete*

"Your phone had better be dead. Call me!" *Delete*

"You know that little black box vibrating on your table, YOU ANSWER IT! NOW!!" *Delete*

"DAMN IT BELLA, WHAT IS GOING ON?" *Delete*

"………….did you kidnap Edward?" this was said in a whisper and I laughed so hard I had to pull over to the side of the road.

"In a sense, you did kidnap me. You've captured my heart, hijacked my mind, abducted my soul, and taken my body hostage." I lifted her left hand to my lips and kissed her wedding band while my eyes stayed trained on her face.

"Bella, please answer the phone. Aren't we friends anymore? Did I do something wrong?" Alice was sobbing into the phone this time. "ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE, OR SO HELP ME YOU'LL REGRET-" *Delete*

"I'm not listening to anymore," she then deleted the last of the voicemails. She stared up at me with sad and frightened eyes. "What are we going to tell your family?"

"Our family and I am opting for telling them nothing." I scoffed when Bella's eyes enlarged to saucers. "Hear me out. We would have absolutely no privacy at my house; Alice would have a conniption fit, Emmett would tease us incessantly, Esme would break down in tears if she could, and your dear brother would have my head. I say we keep it a secret till we graduate, by then we'll be having the wedding anyway." I continued to kiss her fingers, waiting for her to think over my reasoning. I pulled one of her fingers into my mouth and sucked on it like it was a lollipop. She shivered and her intoxicating excited scent wafted up at me when she fidgeted in her seat. Good thing I wore a long shirt today, I was going to need it.

"We could spend most of our time at my place 'getting to know each other'. It could be fun keeping the extent of our relationship quiet. But what do we say if they ask about your coupon?" Her happy and excited expression quickly turned sour as she tried to think of an explanation. "What about this weekend?"

I held her left hand up and removed her rings then slid the wedding band onto the third finger of her right hand. "How about…we tell them that I asked for a month worth of nights alone with you so we can get to know each other better? As for this weekend…I think we should say we wanted to get away while Tanya was still here, lessening the tension. You should probably hide the engagement ring, it's too noticeable." I handed it to her and she slid it into her pocket.

Bella took my left hand and repeated the actions with my ring, but she used her mouth to remove the band and place it on my right hand. Excruciatingly, she slid her mouth off my finger, leaving every part of my body stiff. "Sounds like a plan. Now lets get to a lock smith to get you a house key and then to school. I'm eager to start my secret love affair with a married man." She leaned over the console and looked at me with dark lustful eyes.

I moved closer to her but did not touch. "Just be sure to be careful. You know my wife can be a tiger kitten when pissed and I hear your husband is the jealous and possessive type." She merely shrugged then lunged at me, her lips claiming mine in an instant and it forced us against the car door; the impact was so sudden it jerked the door loose and we fell out onto the ground.

'What in the world?'

The lone thought alarmed me and I looked around hastily. Standing several feet behind the Eclipse was an older man from the Washington State Police. I smiled at him and tried to correct ourselves. Bella wasn't helping, she wouldn't let go since she was too busy trying to suppress her laughing.

"Are you two alright?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Perfectly fine sir, we're just on our way home from our honeymoon and we pulled over to have a good laugh." I continued to grin at him while Bella hid her face in my shoulder.

'Well that explains a lot.' "Be careful while on the road. And no funny business while driving, I don't want to report to an accident later." He looked at me then to Bella. 'They seem awfully young to be married, kids these days.'

"No sir, we'll be good," I held up two fingers. "Scouts honor." I heard Bella scoff into my shoulder and the WSP officer nodded then walked away to his car. Bella started laughing and I joined her.

"Okay, let's get to school," she kissed me on the cheek then climbed into the car, wiggling her behind as she climbed over the center console then she flumped down into the seat.

I looked toward the overcast sky and shook my head. This woman was trying to kill me, not sure how, maybe internal combustion. I stood up and got in the car then drove away.

We stopped briefly at the Forks True Value and had a second key made to Bella's apartment. I immediately hooked it onto my keychain, not wanting to worry about loosing it. Our next stop was school and facing my siblings.

Bella sighed loudly as we pulled into the school parking lot. "Do we really have to do this? Can't we just drop out of school and go to an isolated island somewhere?"

I chuckled then leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss. "We can for our honeymoon; we just need to ask to borrow Isle Esme for awhile."

"Sounds fun…" Bella trailed off as her eyes looked out the window.

I turned to see a furious nymph standing outside the car with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes were shooting daggers at every available surface. Jasper was standing beside her, quietly whispering into her ear, most likely trying to calm her down. Rosalie was standing next to Alice looking equally angry. Emmett stood behind her looking in our direction with apologetic eyes.

"Are you ready for this?" I whispered to her and her eyes never left the group located just outside her car.

"No, let's make a break for it," she looked panicked and scared.

I reached over and took her face in my hands, forcing her to look at me. "Bella, remember I love you," I kissed her swiftly then whispered against her lips so quietly that the others wouldn't hear me. "Just stick to the plan. With your ability, Alice won't be able to see a thing, and remember not to fiddle with the ring."

She sighed then took a deep breath and climbed out of the car. She quickly rounded the car to join me by the side of the Eclipse. She took my left hand firmly in hers and we waited for the barrage of yelling that we knew was coming.

Alice walked up and stood a foot away from us, her eyes narrowed and nostrils flared. I felt Bella shiver beside me.

"Where…the…hell…have…you…been?" despite how angry she was, she spoke very quietly, which I realized was worse. 'NO LYING!'

Nope, no lying, we just won't give you the whole truth.

"We wanted to get away while Tanya was here. Tanya glaring at me behind my back was exceedingly nerve-wracking. Have you ever had someone glare at you because she thinks you stole her man? We couldn't even pilfer a minute alone together with the house being so full. We couldn't talk, embrace, or make-out with everyone ripping us away from the other, we finally had enough and snuck away so we could talk and hold each other without interruptions." Bella spilled out confidently, I almost believed her but the trivial weight on my finger told me otherwise.

"So did you use your coupon?" I nodded slightly at Emmett's question and grateful for his change in subject. He pretended to wipe a tear away from his eye. "He's finally become a man, I'm so proud."

"Um, Emmett, I couldn't use the coupon for sex, that was the one exception." I smirked when his jaw nearly hit the ground.

Emmett and Jasper stared at me intently, trying to figure out what it was I asked for. "What was it you did ask for then?" Jasper asked as he glared at me then glanced back toward his sister.

"Nothing bad Jasper, so calm down, I simply asked for a months worth of nights alone with her to get better acquainted." I gripped her right hand tightly, successfully hiding her ring.

'Yeah acquainted alright, with every part of her body I bet,' why was Emmett always so crude? Sure it was true but he didn't need to know that. 'So did you finally experience what its like to be a man with a woman?'

I glared at Emmett for a split second before the correct words came to me. "That's a pretty vague question Em. Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Yes, yes I would," he stared at me eagerly, awaiting an answer.

I pulled on Bella's hand to get her attention from a still fuming Alice. "Come on Bella, lets get to Biology." She willingly turned from the furious imp and walked beside me to our class.

'We're not through with you yet,' sorry but you are for now.

Biology was getting interesting. Besides having my wife by my side we were starting on the topic of zoology. How ironic can it get? If they needed to know how a certain animal tastes, just ask us.

"Zoology is divided into different fields: Mammalogy, the study of mammals, Ornithology which is the study of birds, Herpetology is about reptiles and amphibians, Ichthyology is fish, Entomology is insects, Malacology are mollusks, from snails with and without shells to squids and octopuses, and Helmintology is about worms, from earthworms to flatworms, among others. We will be spending the next couple months learning about each field of study. So be prepared, this course will comprise 70% of your overall grade." Leave it to Mr. Banner to teach something rather interesting for a vampire.

"Mammalogy should be interesting," Bella whispered at a vampiric level then licked her lips.

I snickered at her comment considering it would encompass our normal diet. Mr. Banner started us out on learning about Helmintology since it would only take one week for this subject. Now that the class was grossed out, the bell rang and released us to our last class of the day.

One class a day, one class is all I got with my Bella. This was torture, especially after the weekend we had. I'll have to see about changing that next year so we share all our classes.

Class finally ended and I met Bella by her car. We saw my siblings stalking toward us, all very unhappy and we quickly escaped into the Eclipse. I pulled out of the parking spot as Alice reached us.

'When you get home Masen, be prepared.' I smirked and drove away, leaving Alice to think of every bad name in every language she could think of.

We reached Bella's apartment safely and I did a quick scan of the neighborhood to see if there were any onlookers. I was by her door in an instant and I lifted her up into my arms bridal style.

"Since I probably won't get a chance to do this at my house I want to at least do it at yours." Using my new key I unlocked the door and carried her inside.

I quickly maneuvered around the room and brought her to the bed. I laid her down, all the while pressing my lips firmly to hers. She scooted back on the mattress and I copied her actions with my own. She pulled on my shirt, bringing me down on top of her. I ran my hand up under her blouse, relishing in the soft texture of her skin against my fingertips. She started purring as my fingers trailed slowly toward her breasts.

Yep, we were definitely home since the interruptions started. My phone went off just as I was getting to the good part. I growled and Bella whined at the disturbance in our intimacy.

I swiftly answered the phone while my hands continued to massage her body. "Yes Carlisle?"

"Good to know your home now. Alice called me, says you wouldn't answer the phone if she called. She says to get home now so you can clear up this past weekend with Esme. You two disappearing all of a sudden scared her. Remember, if you're with Bella or have plans surrounding her Alice can't see you." Carlisle paused and I planted quiet kisses on my wife's belly. "Edward, are you listening?"

"Yeah, get home, Esme pissed, Alice can't see me, I got it," I mumbled as I continued my worshipping of Bella's body.

"Edward, what are you doing? I've never heard you this distracted." Carlisle asked and an evil idea crossed my mind.

"Honestly Carlisle?" I heard him hum a yes. "I'm trying to make out with my girlfriend."

Carlisle sighed audibly. "Edward, get home and ease your mothers troubled mind and heart," I then heard the phone click off.

"Well…I guess…I should…probably…go…reassure Esme," I was trying to speak as I trailed kisses up my wife's shoulders and neck.

"Yeah…," she agreed verbally but physically she was saying something else. She was writhing underneath me, begging for my touch, urging me to continue.

I so wanted to stay and ravish her; it had been too long since I last made her mine, about eight hours. I sat up between her thighs and started to caress her chest. My eyes hit upon the wedding ring on my right hand. I sighed heavily, knowing what I had to do.

"If we want to keep up with our charade I really should go home and check on Esme." She whined below me then nodded sadly.

"Alright," she sat up and straightened my shirt so I looked presentable again. "But you have to hurry back."

I kissed her profoundly and thoroughly so it would last the few hours I was missing from her side. I moved to her neck to allow for me to speak. "Of course I'll hurry back, what reason do I have to stay away?"

I lifted her hands and kissed the ring finger of her left hand then the ring on her right. I unwantedly climbed from the bed and stalked sadly to the door. I found myself driving down the road in the Volvo a minute later, not really realizing I was doing it. For the first time ever, I found myself not wanting to be at home. My life, my soulmate, my wife, was somewhere else probably waiting impatiently for my return.

I arrived at the house and before I could open my door it was opened for me and I was hauled out of it and pulled into small strong arms.

"Oh Edward, you came home, you're alright," she stood back to look me over. "Where is Bella?"

"She's at home unpacking from our weekend away," she still looked worried and frightened. "With Tanya being so aggressive towards her we felt we needed to get away for a bit. Everyone pulling us apart into opposite directions didn't help either. We just wanted to chat and be close and we couldn't do that here." She hugged me again very tightly.

'I'm so glad you're back, I was worried that you ran off again or maybe eloped.'

I broke out in hysterics. She was way too perceptive; she hit the nail right on the head. How was I supposed to avoid telling her the truth without lying?

"That's funny mom. Do you feel better now that you know I didn't run off?" she nodded shamefully. "It's okay for you to worry considering my past but I promise you, I'm not going anywhere."

She patted my cheek lovingly, "good." She then walked around me toward the house.

"By the way, I won't be spending the evenings at home for the next month or so." Esme stopped and jerked around to face me, questioning etched on her face. "I've asked to monopolize Bella's evenings alone so we can grow closer, get to know one ano-"

'Does that mean I might have another daughter soon?' her inquiry was so hopeful and heartfelt all I could do was smile down at her.

"I'm going to get cleaned up so I can head back over to Bella's," Esme shooed me away, excitement and possibilities for the future bouncing around in her head.

The second I was in my room I was assaulted by the scent of patchouli and cinnamon, Tanya, she was in my room. I snarled and scanned my surroundings. Lying innocently on my bed was a note. I hesitantly walked over and opened the odiferous piece of paper.

When you get fed up with your little tart,

I'll be here waiting for you to change your mind.

I thought she was crazy before but now I know…Tanya is completely insane and totally delusional. I lit a candle and burned the offensive parchment then I blew out the candle and dusted off the ashes.

I quickly hopped in the shower and let the water beat down on my marble skin and wash away all the craziness of my family, well almost all the craziness.

"Do you think they actually did anything this weekend?" Rosalie asked my other siblings who were all gathered in the library. "They were gone for several days without communications."

"Do you think Eddie would in fact do anything? He is a major prude after all, he probably wouldn't even grab her ass." I was going to make sure to hurt Emmett, slowly.

I exited the shower and changed into a black pair of khakis and a blue button down shirt. I packed some clothes and other things to take to Bella's then I headed for the library.

"I wish I could answer that. When it comes to Bella I can't see a thing thanks to her ability." Boy, Bella's ability was really getting on Alice's nerves.

"If Bella and Edward really did have sex do you honestly think he would tell any of us? Especially you Emmett," Jasper pointed his finger at our bear of a brother. "You've mocked him incessantly about being a virgin for as long as I've known you. I wouldn't be surprised if they got married and refused to tell you about it."

I stood in the doorway silently listening to their banter. Some of their comments were spot on and they didn't even know it.

"But if I knew the poor kid finally lost his man cherry I won't have any reason to tease him and I'd stop." Emmett was waving his arms around in protest.

"Liar, you would just switch targets. Instead of making fun of him for being a virgin you would wonder how good the sex was or which positions have they tried." Rosalie smacked Emmett in the back of the head.

"Hence the reason I have never asked Em for advice in my love life, it's all a joke to him." I leaned against the door jam and smirked at Emmett. "Are you four having fun discussing my sex life, or lack of?" They all downcast their eyes ashamed that they had been caught chatting about something private about someone else. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with destiny." I flung my duffle bag over my shoulder and walked away at a humans pace, curious to hear what their comments were now.

"Destiny who? Does Bella know?" I heard a loud smack then Emmett complaining to Rose.

'If you plan on doing anything to my sister you had better be prepared to do right by her.'

It's not like I could get her pregnant Jasper. Wonder if he would still insist on a shotgun wedding though. That might be something I could taunt him about. I could torment Emmett by not telling him whether I was a virgin still or not, that would annoy him to no end. Maybe I could talk Bella into letting something through to Alice, just a small little snippet to pester her with.

I reached the Volvo and threw my bag into the passenger seat and in a matter of ten seconds I was pealing down the highway toward my love. It took me another five minutes to finally reach her place. I was glad she lived in one of the little cabins on the outskirts of Forks. There was a small development that consisted of ten, one bedroom cabins everyone called apartments. Bella lived in the one furthest from the rest, guaranteeing our privacy. Her 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse stood out like a sore thumb, other than the Cullen's, no one else in town owned that nice of a car.

I quickly grabbed my bag, locked the Volvo and headed for Bella. I knocked before I entered, it was how I was raised, and noticed it was surprisingly dark. Not that it was a problem for vampiric eyes but it was weird. The scent of vanilla assailed my senses and I noticed there were several candles lit in a path leading to the bedroom. What in the world had my angel planned?

I closed and locked the door behind me and deposited my bag on the floor. I then silently followed the glowing candles to the bedroom. I took a deep vanilla filled breath and stepped into the bedroom. I stumbled back against the wall at the sight before me.

Bella was kneeling on the bed before me, dressed in a dark navy blue sheer slip* and emitting confidence. She stole my breath away, she always did but this was worse. Her dark hair hung loose down her back and every curve of her body yelled at me to reach out and touch her. I was rendered utterly speechless when she raised her right hand and beckoned me forward with her finger.

On impulse I stalked toward my one and only wife. As I neared her, her eyes started to wander up and down my body. "Clothes…off."

I didn't think it was possible but my eyes widened further at hearing her seductively lusty command. I had my clothes off in a blink of an eye and I was standing unclothed before her. I wanted nothing more than to jump her right now but she seemed to be happy being in control. She leaned forward and grasped my hands and pulled me onto the bed facing her.

"What took you so long? I was lonely." Her eyes here pouting as she gazed at me.

"My siblings were having some fun about my sex life, well the lack of a sex life as far as they're concerned." I nearly lost it when her lips brushed along my neck then down to my collarbone and continued down my chest and back up to my neck.

"Lack of sex life, that's humorous," she kissed her way up my jaw line to my cheek and lingered above my lips.

"Before this weekend I had no sex life remember. They can make fun of me all they want now since I'm no longer a virgin, but they don't know that, they suspect something though." I could feel her breath on my face and the sparks were jumping between our lips.

She shifted on the bed slightly to get closer to me and her arousal was made obvious to me. I thought I would faint from smelling the erotic fragrance coming off of her. I moaned and took a profound lungful of air, enjoying the aroma of her stimulation. I shivered as the tip of my erection brushed against her lower stomach. I gasped loudly and nearly fell forward when her hand latched onto my already painfully erect penis.

Bella snickered at my reaction. Well two can play that game. I managed to compose myself just enough to trail my hand down her ribs, lift the flimsy material of her lingerie and I found the center of her feminine nerves. She shuddered and fell against my chest. I continued to manipulate her clit and with my free hand I grabbed her chin and forced her to look at me. Her eyes were heavy lidded and darker than the night sky. Her hand tightened around me when I finally claimed her lips and forced her to lie down on the mattress beneath us.

She started purring as I explored her mouth with my tongue and caressed her clitoris with my fingers. I soon joined in her purring when her hands started to pump up and down along my length. I knew I wasn't going to last much longer at this pace and I so wanted to bury myself in her when I reached my release and I wanted to feel her release clamp down around me.

I took a finger and felt around to see if she was ready for me. My fingers slid around easily and she whimpered as I played around with her folds. She was more than ready, she was ready and waiting.

I grabbed her hand from around my cock and pinned it to the mattress next to her head, I did the same with the other hand as well. She whined as I positioned myself between her legs and rested at the hottest part of her body. She arched her back bringing me mere millimeters from her opening.

"Please, stop torturing me…" she managed to get out through ragged panting breaths.

I smirked at her pleading labored voice. I crushed her lips with my own as I plunged into her in one effortless thrust, we both groaned at the amount of pleasure that the connection our bodies made. The pace we set was feverish and rapid, both of us wanting to satisfy our mate and received satisfaction in return as fast as we could. Ten hours was way too long to go without this connection.

I felt Bella's internal muscles start to tighten around me and I knew she was getting close to her climax, as was I. I leaned my head away so I could speak softly in her ear.

Without breaking my velocity I whispered into her ear. "I love you," I then nibbled on her earlobe and that hurled her over the summit. Her muscles tightened excruciatingly, it was the best form of pain. The euphoria her body was going through sent the same wave of bliss through me and I released every ounce of my seed into her.

We stared into the others darkened eyes as we panted together.

"At least the bed survived this time," she giggled as she looked at her bed for any damages.

"This time but what about the next or the next?" I teased her and to emphasis my point I thrust into her again.

She gasped. "Shouldn't we be getting to know each other better?" she looked at me with her sunflower gold eyes and there was apology written in them.

I wasn't ready to cease our activities and I drove into her again. "We are getting to know each other, in the best possible way."

"Did you marry me just for the sex?"

Her question stopped me dead in my tracks. "Of course not, but it helps."

"True but we still have plenty to learn about one another. And I honestly want to know everything." Her eyes were eager and sparkling with hope.

"Good point," I reluctantly pulled out of her and we whimpered at the lose of completeness. I snuggled up to her and wrapped my arms around her back, pulling her as close to me as possible. "I can honestly say I now know why Emmett and Rosalie disappeared for ten years to be alone."

Bella giggled into my chest then ran her fingers over my tensing skin. "We just made love, are we really going to talk about your siblings?"

I winced at what I had just done. "No, it was just a fleeting thought, sorry."

We cuddled and talked all night, not caring what tomorrow brought. There was talk about hiding in the janitors closet, behind the farthest building, the woods, any place secluded that we could get away to perform some extracurricular activities. Anything to avoid another ten hour absence from the others touches.
