Hiding Bella

Chapter 21

Bella's POV

Even though we went back at a slower pace, we were still back with a few days to spare before the wedding. It was interesting getting to know more about Paul, and surprising since he was the one who attacked me. I was shocked to find out he had been watching over me from afar. Edward even asked him to attend the wedding, with his friends of course. I can't help but worry about what things were to come as we entered the house.

"Oh Bella, thank god your okay! Please don't ever scare me like that again; we have been so worried about you!" Carmen said, as she rushed in to hug me.

"Worried, not mad?" Did I hear her right?

"No Bella, definitely not mad, but worried sick yes. When Edward couldn't find you here, he called us and we were out of our minds with worry. That was until Paul finally called Edward and the way he sprinted out the door, well let's just say he didn't really have enough time to explain much."

"Edward, you really need to buy her a cell phone, please for all our sanity." You could tell by Esme's tone, that it really was not much of a request.

"Welcome back Bella, we missed you!" Alice happily chirped when it was her turn to hug me.

"Edward why aren't they mad or disappointed? Are they really just happy to see me?"

"Yes Bella, it's because they love you. Even if you made us mad for some reason, we

would always forgive you."

"Yes, always!" Esme said as she hugged me.

"Edward, the guys want to see you for a quick hunt while we catch Bella up on the details of the wedding."

"Thanks Alice, I'll go find them. Bella I'll be back soon, I love you." I love that he cupped my face before he sealed it with a kiss.

"I love you too."

"Now Bella, come on we have so much to show you!"

Why do they keep showing me things and expecting me to know what the hell they are, for instance, what the hell is a unity candle? Moreover, if it's a single candle then why are there three of them? At least they were not looking for me to pick the music. I don't think they would like my favorites as a first dance choice for Edward and me.

Edward's POV

The minute I left through the back door, I ran as fast as I could. I had an idea where I might find them and I was right. They were at the cottage, it was all I could do to stare at the once fire gutted home I had built for Bella and me. It was now complete, they had continued in my absence to have it ready in time for our wedding night.

"Welcome Back son, is it okay? We followed the designs you left, I hope you're not too upset with us." Upset would not be my word choice.

"It's perfect, Dad! Thank you so much!" I could see his face relax and a smile forming the minute he knew I was not upset. I rarely called him 'Dad,' but at this moment it felt so right and it expressed my true feelings in that single sentiment.

"Thank you everybody, you have no idea how much this means to me. I was all ready to find a new place to spend my wedding night with Bella, but now it will be perfect just as I wanted it for Bella."

They all took turns shaking my hand or clapping me on the back as they said 'you're welcome.' It was truly the best surprise I have ever gotten, with the exception of Bella herself. Carlisle gave me a tour to show me what they had all done. It was just as I wanted it for my wife to be, with one exception. Carlisle just shook his head smiling and said 'Alice.' This is a place she can be comfortable and relaxed.

"Edward we still need to take a ride to Seattle for furniture, we could go now if you'd like, although we probably won't be back before tomorrow."

"You really want to go and help me do this?" Okay talk about weird, a bunch of vampire men going shopping for house furnishings, huh?

"Hell yeah, you know I'm in!" Of course Emmett would be, but then again, what isn't he up for.

"I'm game, but we should come up with something to tell the ladies, especially if we still like our heads attached to our necks." Jasper was right this had to be done without pissing off my future wife.

"Just follow my lead, this will work." Okay Carlisle, whatever you say!

The pack left just before we did, after another round of thanks from me. The house was in a full on wedding flurry when we arrived. Poor Bella looked like she would explode from everything they were tossing at her. I decided to rescue her for a moment of peace before we left for our boys hunting bachelor party. I ignored the death glares as I grabbed her by the hand, leading her outside and tapping her on the forehead.

"Open up baby girl, listen I need to go out for the night with the guys, it's a wedding thing, a tradition really. I don't want you to worry or be upset, please understand I love you."

"But you are coming back right? Tomorrow?" I could see she was fighting back tears from her eyes.

"Bella, of course, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I want to spend it with you. Please don't worry, I love you."

"What are you going to be doing? What kind of tradition? Who is going?" Her mind was starting to play out every bad scenario she could think of; this girl has to stop watching TV!

"Bella stop! It's nothing like that, we are finishing our Christmas shopping at the mall and then we are just going hunting with the guys to celebrate us getting married that's it. No funny business besides your father is coming; I promise we won't let anything happen."

"But…" I decided to end this before she could doubt herself anymore.

I placed my lips on hers desperately willing her to feel how much I loved her. I caught her so off guard she did not have a chance to shut me out before I could see her mind swirling around in an aroused state. It had me lusting for her like never before and I found myself quickly losing control. Before I knew it, I had her pinned to a tree desperately groping her breast and grinding against her center, begging for release. This time grinding was not enough, I needed more and so did she.

"Edward, please… I need to…ah…ah…Edward!"

For the first time in my life, I found my hand in the pants of a woman! My woman! Just touching her soft curls below had me growling loudly. Bella decided I was not going to have all the fun, so she slipped her small warm hand into my pants. And, oh what a feeling, it was indescribable.

"Oh… Baby girl, this is…so amazing… please! Bella!" I could barely form a coherent thought at that moment.

"Yes…oh yes…Edward you feel…wow!" Wow does not even cover it!

I deepened our kissing as my fingers decided it was time for a little exploration, it was glorious feeling her soft moist intimate skin as it welcomed me with her hot nectar. It only served to make me want to release even quicker, Bella was quickly stroking my manhood as it throbbed in her hand. It was amazing watching Bella's mind as she approached her climax and when it hit her, I could not stop my climaxing along with her, and I wouldn't even want to try to stop it.

"Edward! Oh, oh, oh it's…," I purred in her ear, "Let it happen baby girl!"

"Bella, I can't…I need to…now!" OH MY GOD!

It broke my heart to pull my hand away from the one place my whole body wanted to be. I could smell her all over my hand, it was definitely something I could smell everyday for the rest of my life. It was Bella's next movements that sent my mind back into frenzy after she pulled her now wet hand from my pants, she slowly licked one finger tasting me for the first time, and from the way, she continued on to the rest of her hand, I would definitely say she liked it! But it gave me a reason to do what I wanted to do the minute I smelled her arousal, I slipped my hand back into her pants just long enough to re-wet my fingers, this of course caused her to whimper softly. I took my time sampling the taste of Bella like she was a fine wine that needed to be savored. The sensation of tasting her was becoming overwhelming again, if I didn't break this off now there would be no stopping the next time. I sighed heavily while placing my forehead against hers, enjoying her scent for another moment before speaking.

"Bella are you okay? Why did you shut me out after…?"

"I am more than fine actually; I can't wait for the rest, okay maybe not the first time, but after that! I left my head open to you during that so you could take the memory with you tonight, as a reminder what will be waiting for you when you get home."

"But then why did you shut it when you tasted…"

"Honestly…I was scared you would see how curious I was, it's kind of embarrassing sometimes when I try something new. What if I thought the wrong word or you didn't like what I did…"

"You never have to worry about that with me, I love you too much to care if you mix up a word or don't know the word at all. I love you the way you are, please don't ever change because you think it's what I want."

"So did you…" Are you kidding!

"Yes, I did very much, did you?" I could not help but purr it in her ear.

"Uh hunh," Oh a blush AND a giggle, nicely done Mr. Cullen!

"It's time to go Edward, Jasper was already back from getting the moving truck, it's now or never, don't make me send Emmett after you!"

"I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow, and I love you."

"I love you too." Oh no, not the pout! Step away from the lip!

"I quickly turned and was gone before I decided to just forget the whole thing and ravish her where we stood."

Alice's POV

Now I know they don't think they are fooling me, I know where they are going and what they are doing. Please, like that would happen. Okay, I admit I couldn't see the cottage, but I saw it when Edward decided to build it and yeah, I was too late to stop Tanya when she decided to burn the place down. However, I didn't have to be psychic to know that from the amount of times the guys disappeared together, they were fixing it while Edward was off retrieving Bella. That is why I slipped a drawing of a closet for Bella onto the plans that were in Carlisle's jacket one night, after all a girl needs a decent closet. I decided I was going to let them have their fun if all the guys wanted to go shopping, I was not going to stop them even though, I had already bought a lot of things they would need anyway.

"Bella where are you girl?"

"Hey, has anyone seen Bella?"

"What do you mean? Isn't she out in the yard?"

"No Carmen, she isn't, where could she have gone?"

"You don't think…she left again, do you?"

"No it will freak him out! I'll go and see if I can follow her scent, maybe I can find her before they get home." I think Bella's about to get a talking to Rose style! Yikes!

Rosalie's POV

Okay this girl is going to marry Edward and stop this running crap once and for all, if I have to beat it into her I will. She was home a whole three hours from the last time she ran and now she's gone again. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl to pieces, she has brought Edward back to us after his walking dead routine for the last few decades, but one of these times she's going to break his heart and I'm not about to let that happen. Why is she heading to Port Angeles?

I followed Bella from a distance trying to figure out what she was doing, I was baffled for sure. When she went into the Port Angeles Bed and Breakfast I couldn't help but wonder why she was there? She didn't stay long enough to meet anyone; in fact, she was back out in fifteen minutes and sprinting towards home. Maybe she was reserving a room for their wedding night? Of course, she took the lead when I had to fall back and answer my cell.

"Edward, what's up?"

"Where are you, and are you with Bella?"

"How did you know what I was doing?"

"Jacob called, he said he saw her running and you were following her. Is she okay? Is she leaving me?"

"I don't know what she's doing, she went to a bed and breakfast for fifteen minutes and now she's headed back. Hey wait, she's veering off and heading to the boundary line."

"I'm almost there, don't approach her, stay hidden Rose."

I watched while she paced the line, never moving over, just pacing like she was waiting for something or someone. That's when I saw him come out through the trees; I wish I could have gotten a little closer. What could they possibly have to talk about? It took every bit of strength I had not growl at them secretly meeting here. That's when I heard Edward approach; he was definitely not going to like seeing this.
