TwiDi, Thank you so much for your masterness. ILY....
This chapter is named after the song Fuse by Lucas Rossi. OK here's the deal (you can skip this and go to the chapter if you want LOL) any way. So my aunt is obsessed with Lucas Rossi (he won rock star supernova) so I go to one of his gigs in Boston 2 years ago. (I live north of Boston) I fall in love with this song. Then last year, May 31 to be exact, I read Twilight. I'm done with all three books and I'm going crazy I can't believe I have to wait do long for BD. ( I have not descovered FF yet) So I start trying to find Twilight songs. Well Fuse is my Twilight song. It's perfect, you have to listen to the words. You can find it on youtube as Can't Bring Myself to Light the Fuse as well Fuse. When and if you do find it, listen to the one with the just piano in the back round. It's awesome. Well anyway. This chapter kind of reminded of that song so I was like YAY, I get to use my Twilight song.
OK Enough of my rambling. Here we go. Enjoy and review please. I mean I think this is a pretty good story I would love to see some more reviews for it *Pouts out lip*
Oh ya TanyaDenali started a thread for me at Twilighted...How awesome is that????? Go check it out, I post teasers. And I was wondering if anyone wanted to make me a banner? OK OK enough I know....XOXOX
Edward's POV
"I want you." She whispered, tugging at my shirt…
"You have me. Always." I replied, pulling her close to me, allowing my fingers to caress her back in soothing circles.
"Promise?" She shifted her body and tilted her head up to meet my gaze. Her brown eyes were shining with tears.
"Shh, I'll never let you go." I said, wiping her cheek with my thumb. "Don't cry; I don't want us to think about anything but us tonight."
"Okay," she said haltingly, almost as if she doubted her ability to speak.
I continued stroking the soft skin of her back.
"The deliberation could take hours or days... I'm hoping for days."
"I'm hoping for days too."
She curved her arm around me and reached up to kiss my neck.
"I'm spending every day with you… here… in this bed."
"That's all I want. If this is all we have, then that's all I want." I pulled her closer and buried my head in the crook of her neck.
"That's all I want too." She smiled as she shifted her leg over mine, then straddled me and kissed me passionately on the lips.
Passion crashed over me, flowing through my veins. Looking up at this beautiful creature, I knew that this was the moment. This was the instant that nothing else mattered. The only thing that mattered was her and I.
The closing statements were over, the jury was deliberating and I was here lying in bed with the most perfect woman in the world.
She gasped when I turned her on her back and pressed my erection against her. I could feel the wetness of her folds. I smiled down at her. She was so beautiful. Her red plump lips frowning a little, her red puffy eyes broke my heart. I stayed there for a moment just staring at her, our eyes flickering back and forth.
She looked away from me for a brief second then met my gaze again. She swallowed hard then whispered, "Make love to me, Edward, please." Hearing her say those words touched a part of me so deep inside that I had to fight back the lump in my throat. The last few months were more than I could ever ask for but not once had we referred to our 'rendezvous' as making love. Did this mean what I think it meant? Did she love me?
An emotion so strong crashed in my insides and I leaned down and captured her lips with mine, slowly, sensually I kissed her, hoping that she would know that this is exactly what I plan on doing, I planned on making love to her.
Running her hands through my hair, she moaned into my kiss and her hips bucked up.
I slid into her with such ease and pleasure that it took my breath away. Pulling away from our kiss, I gazed into her eyes as I moved slowly in and out of her. It was the most amazing feeling in the world.
Our gaze was locked, her lips slightly parted, breathing erratically and hips moving as one. We stared at each other as the pleasure, the heat, the love poured from our eyes.
No words were spoken. Just moans of pleasure as our hips rocked slowly. I didn't know how it was possible for two separate people to fit together so perfectly, but we did. She fit with me in every way.
She gasped again as I shifted her forward then back, lifting her hips to meet each one of my thrusts. I watched her watching me, her dark orbs shining in the night. I wanted to draw this out for as long as possible, afraid this was going to be our last time. I wanted to make love to her. I wanted to show her that I did love her, even if I couldn't say it.
Bella clutched me tightly and I could tell she was feeling the same way; she knew that this could be our last time. Determined to force all thoughts out of her mind, I picked up my pace and my thrusts became more powerful. I could tell that I had succeeded. Her eyes filled with pleasure and the sadness I had seen there a minute ago faded away. Bella started to follow my lead until her flesh slapped against mine.
Her breasts were swaying wildly and the world around me was fading as she took me over the edge.
When the first wave of pleasure hit, I stayed on top of her, still feeling her walls pulsating around me, knowing that her orgasm had hit right at the same time as mine. I stretched my legs and tangled them around hers.
I stayed inside of her, kissing her face, her eyes, her cheeks, her forehead and her neck. I grew harder and harder again and as I kissed her lips, our movements began. Her hips rose off the bed, pulling me deeper inside.
I kissed her, aroused beyond belief at this moment. I was nearing my second orgasm and yet I still couldn't get enough. The low moan that tumbled from her perfect lips drove me insane.
"Bella," I moaned huskily as I clutched her hands in mine. Her back arching off the bed, the rhythm of our hips picking up, the sounds of skin slapping and our breathless breathing; I was aware of every movement we were making and I loved every second of it.
I lifted my face to hers again, her eyes soft. I leaned down and kissed her. Her lips devoured mine and I could tell that she was close by the urgency of her kiss. I released her hands and grabbed her hips, helping her to arch off the bed. I knew I hit the spot when she moaned loudly and that fueled me more to keep going and make her come undone.
And I did just that, she was moaning my name over and over. I nuzzled her neck and nibbled on her ear as I continued to thrust in and out. My grip got tighter, her walls started to close over me, milking me with her cum.
"Oh God, Edward," she screamed as her nails dug into my back.
"Fuck," I grunted as I spilled into her for the second time within an hour. It was so intense, it was so amazing. I was looking right into her eyes, I was staring into her soul and I could tell she was doing the same. And only when I shifted and pulled her close to me had I realized I was silently crying.
Turning around to face me, Bella's tear filled eyes met my own. We laid there, embraced in each other, holding on for dear life, afraid to close our eyes.
Somewhere in the distance, the radio was playing a slow song and the only other sound was our breathing.
I'm not sure how much time passed; it could have been minutes or hours. I wasn't sure. The only thing I was sure of was the feeling of my body pressed against Bella and the relaxing feeling of her running her hands through my hair.
"I don't know if I can do this, Edward, I'm starting to panic a little. Every time I see the hand on the clock change, my heart dips deeper to my stomach. I can't imagine lying in bed without you. I don't think I can go back to my apartment. I don't think I can…"
I kissed her hard on the lips. I traced my tongue across her bottom lip, she whimpered and granted me access to her mouth. I explored her mouth and pushed her on back gently so I was hovering over her. I held onto her head, tangling my fingers in her hair. I wanted to try and make her forget, I wanted to try and take away the pain that was evident in her eyes.
I slipped into her again and just laid there and reveled in the feeling of being buried in her heat. Our kissing became erratic she sucked on my bottom lip and opened her eyes to meet my stare. She smiled and the blush I have come to love filled her cheeks. She released my lips and I moved my kisses to her cheeks.
"Bella," I murmured, softly as I buried my face in her brown locks. I was inhaling her scent, trying to imbed the perfection of her smell in my mind.
"My sweet precious, Bella," I whispered in her ear, "You have been everything and more to me, you have brought out the best in me and I will never, ever regret one moment spent with you. You have changed me. You have made me a better person and I will be forever grateful for you. You are my world and I can't live my life without you." I looked up into her eyes, my hips moving slowly in and out of her. She was panting and writhing underneath me. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I continued to move my hips slowly and I gazed in her eyes. "God, Isabella, I love you. I love you so much…"
My lips went crashing to hers and I mustered up every bit of love and passion I had for her and put it into that kiss. She returned the kiss and I realized that our tears were mixing. The saltiness of her tears was mixing with my own.
I have never ever told someone I loved them. I've never in my life felt this way before. My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest and I could feel Bella's beating just as fast.
Her skin felt so good beneath my fingers as I touched her body. It felt amazing. "Oh, Bella," I moaned, bringing my head to her shoulder.
"Lay down," she whispered, sitting up a little. Pushing me down so she could get on top. The smile that was on my face was huge; there was nothing better than watching Bella ride me.
I laid on my back and watched as she seated herself on me. Once she was settled, she leaned back and let her palms rest against my thighs. I looked down and I could see myself in her. I could see the glistening of her juices on my cock as she rocked her hips. I roamed her body, touching her thighs and calves, caressing her soft skin. She threw her head back when I started to make circles on her tight little bundle of nerves. Her hair was grazing my legs, sending shivers through my body.
"Oh God, Edward, that feels so good." She moaned, loudly, beautifully.
She moved faster, her breasts swaying. She bit her lip and then met my gaze.
She smiled.
"God, you're beautiful." I said and reached my other hand up to cup her breast and tease her nipple with my finger. She let out another moan and brought her hands up and touched her own breasts. She squeezed them hard and started bouncing up and down.
I watched as she played with her own nipples. She was staring right at me. It was so erotic and amazing.
"God, that's fucking sexy."
"MMM, you like that?"
I couldn't respond I was too far gone at this point. The only thing I could I do was grunt. I closed my eyes and grabbed her hip. My other hand was still caressing her clit.
She rocked back and forth, up and down and in circles. She was pleasing herself and I fucking loved it. I removed my finger from her clit and she whimpered, pouting out her bottom lip. I leaned up and captured her mouth.
"You do it." I mumbled in the kiss. With both of my hands now gripping her hips, she slowly, seductively trailed her hand down her chest, her stomach then right to her clit. She circled her finger around it.
"Fuck." I grunted, sitting up a little on my elbows to watch her. That was all I needed. She started to move faster, her feet now flat on the bed. Bouncing up and down, screaming my name. I felt her walls clamp and she pulled me right over the edge with her.
Collapsing on top of me, I reached for her head and buried my hands in her hair. She was kissing and sucking on my neck. My other hand traced her spine.
We were sweaty and panting and still moaning. We stayed like that, allowing our bodies to relax.
After a few moments, I reached for her face and cupped her cheeks in my hands, caressing the apple of her cheek with my thumb.
I brought her head down to meet my lips. We kissed as if our lives depended on it. It was slow, it was sensual, it was perfect.
Once our breathing was back to normal, Bella rolled off of me.
"Take a bath with me?" she asked quietly.
"I would love to."
She went into the bathroom and I could hear her start the water. I got out of the bed and made my way into the bathroom. I stood at the door, watching as she added the bubbles and tested the temperature with her hand.
I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful naked body. I saw a few red marks on her hips and my heart plummeted to my stomach. Walking up behind her, I caressed the redness of her hip. She moaned and leaned over to look at me.
"Does it hurt?" I asked.
"Not at all." She kissed me. "Get in."
I stepped in the tub and held her hand as she got in; in front of me. We sat down in the nice warm bath, she leaned her back against my chest and I wrapped my arms around her.
Leaning down, I kissed her collar bone, then her neck, then her cheek. She smiled and sighed contentedly.
We stayed in the tub till our hands were like old people and the water was warm.
It was almost 5:00 am when we got out and back into bed.
"You need to sleep, love."
"I'm afraid, I don't want to."
"Me neither, but being exhausted isn't going to help either of us."
"Hum for me?" she asked, turning around and cradling her arms in front of her, her palms pressed against my chest. I squeezed her tight and started to hum her song.
I started to drift into sleep. I felt her sigh and I knew she was asleep. I kissed her forehead as the darkness took over and in the silence of the room, I could have sworn I heard. 'I love you too, Edward, more than anything in this world.' But when I opened my eyes, hers were shut and she was quietly snoring.
__
The sound of my phone ringing woke me from the very comfortable sleep I was in. Bella and I were wrapped in each other's arms, I was warm and comfortable and I wanted to kill whoever was calling me.
I tried to shift out of the death grip that Bella had me wrapped in.
"No, please don't leave me." She begged and then I heard a low moan. "Edward, please I'm sorry. You promised."
My heart was tearing out in my chest. She was having a nightmare and it was about me and I'm sure it was about me turning against her. I squeezed her than kissed her forehead.
"It's ok, love. I'm not going anywhere."
She moaned again then turned around and buried her face into the pillow next to her. My phone rang again and I jumped up out of bed to get it.
"Hey, uncle." I said in a monotone voice. This was the call I had been dreading. This was the call to tell me that they had decided my fate. He didn't even have to say it, I knew.
"What time do we have to be at court?"
"8:00."
"Thanks." Then I hung up the phone. I sat on the bed and ran my hands through my hair then let my head fall to my hands.
"Hey." Bella whispered, wrapping her arms around my waist and kissing the back of my neck.
"Hey," I said turning to face her.
She threw herself into my arms and kissed me passionately. I slowly lowered her down on the bed, still kissing her, caressing her with my hands.
I broke the kiss and looked at her. She started to bite her lip and I could tell that it was because she was holding back her tears. I kissed her eyes and caressed her face.
"This is it?" she barely whispered.
I nodded.
"That was fast."
"I know."
She looked over at the clock then back at me.
"What time do we have to be there?"
"Carlisle said 8."
"We have almost 19 hours."
"It's all going to work out." I lied. I knew it wasn't, I knew the verdict, I knew this was it, but I didn't want to tell Bella that, I wanted our last hours together to be memorable.
"I know you're leaving."
"Let's not think about it now. Just you and me, Ok? That's all I want to think about now…"
"Okay."
I leaned down and kissed her, devouring her mouth with mine. My erection grew harder and harder. I brushed it across her leg causing her moan.
"Make love to me again."
She didn't have to ask me twice, I slowly entered her, loving the feeling of being this close to her.
I worshiped her body with my hands and her mouth with my tongue. I didn't break my kiss or my movements I just kept going slowly in and out of her, relishing in the moment of being like this with her. Drawing out the feeling and mustering up the emotion that my heart felt. Pouring every thing I had into making love to her.
It was perfect, it beautiful, it was making love.
We stayed right here in the bed, naked. We caressed one another, kissed and made love a few more times.
Alice called, we ignored it. James called, we ignored it. Jasper called, Bella answered said she was fine and she just wanted to be with me alone.
They understood and did just that, they left us alone.
The time was going by so fast. There was times it was quiet and all we did we stare at one another and other moments we talked. We talked about anything and everything. Bella was biting on her lip; she was staring at the clock. I chuckled. "You're not going to be able to will it to stop." I teased, "we have to face the facts, this is happening, and it's happening in less than 6 hours." I leaned in and kissed her.
She stiffened for a second and then jumped out of the bed. She quickly grabbed her clothes and threw them on.
"Bella, what's the matter? Where are you going?"
"I'm so sorry, Edward, so sorry. I should have never..... Oh my God, what have I done?" She grabbed for her purse and I got off the bed and walked towards her.
"Bella, don't do this! Where are you going?" I asked, holding back the tears as I spoke.
"Edward," she looked away, "I'm standing here with my heart in my hands and I can't even offer it to you." I reached for her chin and pulled it so she was looking at me. "I love you. Edward, I'm so in love with you and now because of me, you're going to jail tomorrow and I can't sit there and listen as the judge sentences you... I can't watch as the man, who I love more than life itself, gets put away. I'm sorry, I have to leave... I love you," She whispered and then kissed my forehead. "No regrets." She said as she turned around and walked out the door. I sat there and watched as the one person I have ever truly loved walked out of my life. I fell to my bed and ran my hand through my hair pulling at the ends. No one has ever told me they loved me before. My heart shattered when I replayed her words. 'I love you, no regrets.' I reached in my pocket for my phone and pulled it out.
"Esme, I need you." I stammered, stumbling to my bed. I shut my phone and tossed it next to me.
My head fell to my hands and I let the sorrow consume my body as I began to sob.

3rd person
The hallway is empty except for James. He walks with his head down, looking troubled. He rounds the corner, not noticing anyone around him. He has to talk to Mr. Smith; he has to, he can't go on like this anymore.
He approaches the door, taking a moment to smooth his tie and prepare himself. Just then, he hears voices coming from Mr. Smith's office.
"The money is safe; it's in the account you set up in Grand Cayman. Richard, you have to get down here! You should see the pussy just walking around the beaches. Some of these girls have tits bigger than my head. They fuck like the best too; every single one of them is just waiting for a hard dick to fuck them senseless."
He hears a muted chuckle coming from the office; that first voice sounds like it's coming from the speakerphone. The reply is softer, it sounds like the person is walking around the office.
"Good, Tyler. You fuck those whores good… Just make sure you keep a low profile; we don't need anybody getting too nosy. I almost have the little fucker right where I want him; if I can just keep Ms. Swan in line, we won't have to worry about it for too much longer. If you fuck this up you know what will happen to you, don't you? You know I'll be able to find you. There are people looking for you right now, Tyler; one especially that you should be concerned about. His name is Jacob Black. He is a ruthless cop; one misstep and it will all be over for you. Consider yourself warned."
There is a sharp intake of breath heard over the phone line.
"FUCK! Who is this guy and why is he hunting me like some animal?! You better keep them away from me, Richard! I swear, if you throw me to the wolves I'll tell everything! I'll fucking scream it from the rooftops!" Tyler was hissing, his voice low and sharp.
"Tyler, Tyler, calm down. You know I'll take care of you. No one will find you if you keep to the plan. Now get off the phone, go find some pretty little whore to suck your dick. Get a drink, enjoy the sun and sand. Call me again tomorrow to check in." The phone clicks, then a dial tone is heard.
James lifts his head, his eyes sparkling and a grin spreading across his face. He pushes the office door open and Mr. Smith looks up, "You scared me, James." He says, unbuttoning his jacket as he takes his seat. He motions for James to sit. James takes a deep breath and sits in front of Mr. Smith.
"James, I have something special for you to work on next. You've done such a wonderful job with the Cullen case so far. Now, I need you to find out about Ms. Swan's whereabouts these last few days?"
Almost all of you were correct in saying that the secret POV was Mr. Smith. I'm so proud of you guys :)
