Well, I'm sure a second chapter in one week is unexpected. I haven't had school since last Tuesday so I've had a little bit of extra time. Just think of it as my way of saying thank you for all of the reviews and alerts. You guys are awesome. I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Twilight, sure wish I thought of it first!

Chapter 25

It's a Wrap

EPOV

Good fucking lord have mercy.

That is all I have to say about my intimate time with Bella. My only question is why we didn't we do that a whole fucking lot sooner. The way she took control and became all possessive, it makes me hard just thinking about how fucking hot it was. Then later I made the most gentle, passionate love to her that was completely different but just as mind-blowing. We were fucking made for each other, in every way.

In my eyes, it was the most incredible afternoon of my life. We had sealed our love with our bodies and it was perfect. When she eluded that she only had sex with me because of the book I fucking panicked. How could our reactions to what we had done been so different? It made me feel like an asshole to think that she felt obligated to do it just because I gave her something of value. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong per say, but this nagging feeling that I had made me a little sick to my stomach.

Did I inadvertently treat her like a prostitute?

I didn't think I had, but the undertones of it were there and did not sit with me well at all. She quickly assured me that wasn't the case and she did what she did out of love and nothing else. After her explanation I felt a huge amount of relief, but I also understood why she felt so uncomfortable about the amount of money I spent on her. I knew what teachers made, not nearly fucking enough. I planned on being sensitive to that in the future, but it wasn't going to deter me from ever treating her like the princess she was.

We had enjoyed each other until early evening and finally dragged ourselves out of bed at about the time we were expecting Alice and the gang to come back from shopping. I had decided that I was going to run back to my place and grab a few essentials so that I could spend the night with Bella. We only had two nights left together and there was no fucking way I was spending it without her.

By the time I got back, everyone else had arrived and we ordered room service. It was fun to see what everyone had spent their gift cards on. It gave me a sense of satisfaction that I could give them all a moment to indulge in no one but themselves. Just like me, they all worried about Alice and that worry consumed their thoughts, their actions, and their lives all the time. It was nice to see them be extravagant. Even Carlisle treated himself to a gorgeous Rolex watch. I chuckled every time I saw him glance down at it. He made it look like he was nonchalantly checking the time, but I knew better. He was admiring its elegance and convincing himself that it really was his.

Alice had been in charge of spending Bella's gift card for her and she did not disappoint. Everything she picked reflected Bella's taste. I pulled her aside and spoke quietly in her ear.

"Were you able to get the thing?" I was trying to be all discreet and everything but she was making it very difficult to stay serious. Alice was all decked out in Gucci and had yet to take any of it off, including the sunglasses.

"Do you doubt my competency, Mr. Masen?" God she was so fucking cute.

"Absolutely not, I was just wondering."

"Not to worry, Edward. She will be stunning and you will be speechless." I had finally told them that they would need an outfit for the movie's wrap party. Alice was in charge of picking out something fabulous for Bella. They had all been excited to hear that they were going, especially Alice, which is funny considering she's in the movie and ought to be there.

"Thanks, Alice."

"Not a problem, tiger. So…you staying the night?" She looked at me with raised eyebrows and began winking."

"Well, if you must know, yes I am." I looked over to Bella and smiled at the sight of her teasing Emmett about his 'bling.' He chose to buy a necklace with the most humungous charm in the shape of the letter E. It did look absolutely ridiculous, but if that's what Emmett wanted, then I'm glad he got it.

"I'm so glad you guys have both come to your senses and realize that you're perfect for each other. It was really getting annoying to watch." Once again Alice and her lack of a filter made me laugh.

"You definitely called it, squirt. And now I will grace your dance with my presence, Sharpi marker in hand."

"So looking forward to it." She smiled a devilish grin and went back assessing all of her purchases.

A little after eleven, Bella and I said good-night to everyone. It was hard to ignore the knowing glances and insinuating smiles they all wore, indicating they knew I was planning on doing some naughty things to Bella. But hell, I didn't fucking care. She was my girl and there was less than forty-eight hours before she was leaving and I would be forced into enjoying the company of my right hand.

Once inside the room I came up behind Bella and placed my mouth on the little spot on her neck just below her ear. That had become one of my most favorite spots, it was home to me. "Could I interest you in a shower, love?"

"That depends. Are you a water hog?" I started to laugh a little.

"Well, yeah, I kind of am, but I'm pretty sure I'm capable of sharing."

"In that case we'll give it a try, but if you start monopolizing the spray, you're out. She hiked her thumb over her shoulder for effect.

"Yes Ma'am." I gave her a little salute before heading to the bathroom. "Let's go. Last one there is a rotten egg." I took off in a full sprint, unbuttoning my shirt as I ran.

"Hey, no fair. You're cheating." She took off after me but couldn't make it to the door before I did. By the time she made it inside the bathroom I was down to only my boxers. She stood there panting a little with her hands on her hips.

"That, Edward, was not nice."

"Sorry, baby. Let me make it up to you." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and closed the distance between us.

"I'm counting on it." She put her arms around me and slapped my ass. I started pulling her clothes off as I kissed her neck. "Edward…I love being with you like this."

I looked back at her and cupped her face with my hands. "Me too, baby. Me too." I understood what she was saying. We were on borrowed time and soon we would have to go without each other for what I'm sure will seem like an eternity.

After we were both pretty much naked I turned on the water in the shower and waited for it to be the perfect temperature. I motioned for Bella to step in ahead of me so that she was completely under the spray. I followed and watched as the water ran through her hair and down her body. She was exquisite and she didn't even realize it. I poured some of Bella's strawberry body wash into my hands and started massaging it into her back causing quite a bit of lather. She moaned involuntarily and I fucking got harder if that was even possible. My hands roamed her body. It was warm and slippery from the body wash. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to have her.

"Bella. I need you." It seems she felt the same need because she turned around and pressed her body to mine. She started kissing my chest where the water was trickling down. Before I realized it, she had made her way all the way down and was positioned on her knees. In front of my cock. In the shower.

Holy fuck.

Her lips were around my dick and she was moving up and down my shaft, sucking the entire time.

"Oh…Bella…that feels…so fucking good." I could barely even speak as all the Bella shower fantasies I had ever had came flooding to my mind like snapshots. I had given the walls of my shower a semen bath at least once a week picturing Bella just like this. Now that it was a reality, I realized that those fantasies never had a chance to compare to the real thing. She was fucking me with her mouth and it was incredible, but I didn't want to take her like that.

"Fuck baby, I want to be inside you. Please let me be inside you." She gave me one last long suck and I almost blew my load in her mouth right then but I held my control. I helped her stand up and lifted her so that her pussy was achingly near my cock. She wrapped her legs around me and kissed me as she held on.

"I want you, Edward. I need you to fuck me." I turned her around so that her back was pressed up against the wall of the shower. I lifted her a little higher and slammed her down on my cock so that it was fully inside. She gasped a little but never stopped kissing me. I used the wall for leverage as I moved inside her. "I'm…so…close…"

"Me…too, baby." She started shaking in my arms as her orgasm ravished her body. That was all I needed as my body went spiraling into a wave of pure bliss. Her name fell from my lips but was more like a silent scream as all the oxygen had temporarily left my body. I slid down the wall of the shower so that I was sitting on the floor with Bella still straddling me. The water was a little colder as it had farther to fall before it landed on us. She held on to me tight and didn't let go.

"Bella." Nothing. "Bella, love. Are you okay?" That's when I could tell that she was crying. "Sweetie, what's the matter?" I rubbed circles on her back trying to comfort her.

"I'm just going to miss you, that's all." She pulled her head away from my shoulder and took a deep breath, willing herself to regain her composure. "I don't want to be one of those girls who can't function with out their boyfriend and I know that once I'm home I will be busy with teaching and everything. It's just that three months is a long time."

I knew exactly what she was talking about. Three months was definitely too long to go with out touching her, holding her, or kissing her. I didn't want to say anything too soon, but I had already planned on making a trip to Forks in about a month or so. I needed to see Bella and I wanted to surprise Alice when she was done with her next round of chemo. "I'm going to miss you too, so much. But we'll make it work. We love each other. The distance is a pain in the ass, but we'll deal with it." She nodded and gave me another hug. "Come on; let's get you out before you're a prune."

I helped her stand up and quickly gave her another washing. We wrapped each other in the fluffy hotel towels, dried off, and got dressed for bed. We held each other close that night and I slept well. So well that I was up at the ass crack of dawn. Bella was still sleeping and I decided not to wake her. I wanted to take Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie out for breakfast and called over to their rooms to make sure they were awake. I got cleaned up and wrote Bella a note.

Hey Beautiful,

I'm taking the kids out for breakfast. You look so peaceful and I can't bear to wake you up so stay here and sleep, my love. I'll be back before you know it.

We're relaxing by the pool today until it's time to get ready for tonight. Alice wants me to be sure to tell you to wear the blue bathing suit, no excuses. I must admit, I'm a little curious.

Love, Edward

I placed the note by her pillow and left the room to meet the kids. I wanted to spend some quality time with them as well as give Carlisle and Esme a chance to have breakfast together, just themselves. I took them to a small family owned diner that I like to get take-out from. I had never been inside to eat, but it always looked family friendly. Not to mention their food was awesome.

Once the waitress had taken our order, the four of them were staring at me with smirks on their faces.

"Okay, what gives?"

"Did you not see the looks she was giving you?" Rosalie was watching her as she moved from table to table and glancing my way every minute or so.

"Dude, she's hot." Emmett said in true adolescent teenage boy fashion.

"And he's taken." Rosalie lightly slapped Emmett in the back of the head. "Or do you not remember that?"

"She probably just wants an autograph." Jasper tried to settle things down a bit.

"You are so naive. She clearly wants him." Alice said and Rosalie nodded in agreement. I didn't like that Alice was talking about anyone wanting anyone. In essence, she's still a little girl and shouldn't even be thinking about that at all.

"So what if she does, it's not like she has a chance with him."

Watching this conversation unfold before my eyes like a runaway train I decided it was time to interject. "Whoa, the him you are all talking about is right here. Don't I get a chance to say anything?" They all looked at me, waiting for me to speak.

"Okay, first of all, Rosalie, I truly hadn't noticed that the waitress was looking at me in any particular way. Second, Emmett, I also hadn't noticed if she were hot or not." I used air quotes when I said the word hot. "Third, I am very taken and very happy to be taken. Fourth, Alice, don't be talking about who wants who. I can't take it, it makes my ears burn. And finally, Jasper, if she wants an autograph I would be happy to give it to her, but you're right, she has no chance at anything else."

There was complete silence for about thirty seconds and then all five of us erupted into laughter, effectively gaining the attention of everyone in the place. I was having so much fun that I didn't even care that I had effectively been recognized. Our food came and we all calmed down considerably but were still having a little bit of difficulty keeping ourselves in check.

"So, Edward." Emmett had a big bite of waffles on the end of his fork. "Speaking of being taken. What are your intentions with our Bella?" All four sets of eyes were waiting for an answer.

"What do you mean?" I didn't think any of them saw it as an issue.

"Well, we were all talking and we know that you guys have gotten close this week." I did not like where this was going. "We just want to know that when we leave this isn't over, because we've known Bella for a long time and we have never seen her like this. She is in love with you." Every single one of them loved Bella like she was family and they were not going to let anyone, even me, shit all over her.

"I am telling you the truth when I say that I am so in love with her. I have no intentions of ever hurting her. Please believe me." I looked down at my plate and pushed some of my food around.

"Jeez, Edward, don't freak. We're just messing with you. But if you ever hurt her, you'll have us to deal with." They all laughed and I knew they were joking, but I also knew it was true.

We spent the rest of breakfast talking about anything and everything. They were so fun to be with. I hadn't laughed that hard in such a long time. I felt like the cool uncle.

That's me. Cool Uncle Edward. I kinda like that.

When we got back to the hotel we all went our separate ways to change into our pool attire. It was going to be a late night and so we were planning on spending the day by the pool enjoying the sun. Forks does not get a lot of it so they wanted to get as much as they possible could while they were here.

I knocked lightly on Bella's door, not entirely sure she was awake yet. I was happy to hear her tiny footsteps and then see her when she opened the door with a smile. She was wearing this skimpy cover up and had her hair up in a pony tail. She was obviously ready to go to the pool and my dick twitched thinking about this blue bathing suit.

"How was breakfast?"

"Great, I brought you some." I held out the take-out container and she snatched it out of my hand. "Hungry?"

"You have no idea. Thank you so much." She practically sprinted to the table and started to inhale the food. It probably should have grossed me out, but I actually found myself thinking how cute it was.

Fucking sap.

"I don't want to lose a finger or anything so I'm just going to get ready." She must have been hungry because she didn't even acknowledge me. I chuckled as I dug through my bag for my trunks.

We spent the day by the pool just enjoying each other's company. Being a Friday, it wasn't too crowded and no one bothered us. I was more than pleased when no acted like they recognized me the entire day. It was nice to be somewhat anonymous.

Maybe I should check in here more often, just to get away.

We had reserved one of their cabanas so Alice, or anyone else for that matter, could get away from the sun if they needed it. We swam, played pool games, talked about random things, and just relaxed. We ordered various snacks throughout the day and the adults drank a little. Bella and I were affectionate with each other. There was no need to hide it, especially after the little sit down the kids held with me at breakfast.

Bella. If anyone had any questions as to how I felt about her before, they were definitely put to rest when Bella took off her cover-up to reveal the infamous blue bathing suit. I had to literally jump into the water so that no one would see my raging hard on. There are two things I can say about that bathing suit. It was a bikini and it was fucking tiny. Bella looked slightly uncomfortable in it. She was not one for exposing herself so much and this was definitely extreme. Once my little problem when away, I jumped out of the pool and went over to her, whispering how incredible she looked in it. I wanted her to feel confident because she had absolutely no reason to be embarrassed. Even Emmett and Jasper, who thought of her like a sister, kept their eyes averted for most of the day.

Around four o'clock we left the pool to go get ready for the wrap party. They were all excited as this was a new experience for them. I had explained that everyone who worked on the movie, from cast to crew, would be there. These parties were usually pretty laid back and I knew they would all have a great time. I was especially excited because of the many wrap parties I've attended, this was the first one that I would actually have a date to go with. I had the butterflies of a teenager on prom night.

I grabbed my bag, kissed Bella, and headed out of the hotel. I was going to get ready at my apartment. I didn't have any good clothes with me and Alice had made it perfectly clear that Bella would be occupied with getting ready for the next few hours. I had no idea just exactly what that entailed, but when I saw the very apprehensive look on Bella's face, I felt very, very sorry for her.

I went home and called Angela to make sure she was still going tonight. I was happy to hear she was bringing Ben. I took a brief nap before getting up to get ready. Even with taking an extra long shower and changing my outfit three times like a girl, I still was way ahead of schedule. I grabbed a beer from the fridge and flopped on the couch to watch TV for awhile. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity it was time to go. I was still going to get there early, but I wanted to make sure I got there before Bella, Alice, and the rest of them did. I didn't want them to feel uncomfortable because I was late.

The party was being held at the Bungalow Club. It was very upscale and I could see that they had pulled out all the stops for this party. It was nice to see everyone so relaxed. The stresses of the movie had been rough for awhile, but now that all the filming was done it was obvious that all of us felt a little lighter. I was greeted by several people and made chit chat with all of them. I was laughing at a joke that one of our set creators told about a cow, a bag of marshmallows, and a small moped when the hairs on my back stood up.

She's here.

I didn't even need to see her to know that Bella had entered the room. My heart quickened and I started to break out into a sweat.

Control yourself, Masen. You don't want Bella to see you with pit stains, do you?

I turned to see them all standing by the entrance. Laurent had immediately gone over and was introducing them to his wife. He was so enamored by Alice, no doubt he would have her by his side the entire night, introducing her to everyone as the new, up and coming actress.

Watching them from across the room they looked like the picture perfect family… and they were. Their new outfits made them look glamorous, but you could take all that away and the love and compassion they had for each other would still radiate from them from the inside out.

Then I saw her. She was absolutely breathtaking. Her hair was pulled back and allowed to fall down her back in soft waves. Her dress was teal in color and went perfectly against her sun-kissed skin. It had spaghetti straps that were tied into bows at the shoulders.

One tug and…stop it, just stop it! She just got here, you can't leave yet!

It was tight across her breasts causing the tops of them to swell over the top ever so slightly. The skirt looked like it was layers of draping and for the love of God, it was fucking short. Well-toned legs went on for what seemed like forever and ended in a pair of strappy, high-heeled sandals. Alice was right, I was speechless.

She was fucking hot, that was a fact. But when she started laughing and blushing at something Laurent had said, it made her the most beautiful person in the room. I needed to touch her.

I excused myself from the people I had been talking to and made my way across the room. I saw Tanya on my way over and when she made eye-contact with me, she immediately looked away and walked in a different direction. I was satisfied that Lia Lust would not be a problem for me or Bella tonight.

When I came into view, Bella's smile got bigger. She was just as excited to see me as I was to see her. I walked up to her and instinctually slipped my arm around her waist and whispered into her ear.

"You are absolutely stunning." She giggled as I placed a chaste kiss on her neck.

"You clean up well yourself, Masen."

Someone cleared their throat and we were pulled out of our own little bubble. "Hel-lo, what are we, chopped liver?" I looked down to see Alice looking up with narrowed eyes. Everyone else was snickering.

"Sorry, Alice. Uh, hey guys. You look great. I'm so glad you're here." We exchanged hugs and handshakes. Before I could say anything else they took off. Emmett, with Rosalie in tow, headed toward the food. Laurent had snatched Alice to introduce her to some people and of course Jasper followed. Carlisle and Esme made their way to the bar in need of a drink. I took the opportunity to take Bella's hand. "Let's mingle." I pulled her through the crowd and started introducing her to some people.

As time went by and we talked to more people, I was absolutely stunned by my girl. She was confident, charming, witty, and mesmerizing. Anyone who ever doubted that Bella could not fit in this world could go to hell. She was a natural at conversation and so fucking smart. I must have been beaming with pride because I felt like I was on cloud nine. Everyone loved her and everyone commented on how lucky I was to have such a special girl in my life.

Don't I know it.

Thinking back to other wrap parties I had been to, I realized that I had never had actually enjoyed being at one before this one. Usually it started with me arriving inebriated and leaving with some skank that had snuck her way in. There was usually somewhere in between those two points where I would make a complete ass out of myself. I was such a mess back then. I don't know why people put up with me.

We were talking with George, my favorite camera guy, when Bella excused herself to use the ladies room. I had offered to go with her but she had insisted that she would be right back and that I stay here and finish my conversation. I watched as she walked away, still in awe that someone so beautiful, caring, trusting, and pure was actually in love with me.

"That girl is truly a gift." George's voice pulled me out of my Bella induced haze,

"She's great, isn't she?"

"She sure is. She's genuine. You don't see her type a lot in this town."

"Isn't that the fucking truth." And it was. Just about everyone here was fake and in it for themselves. I was so done with all of that.

"Edward, I've been married to the same wonderful woman for the last twenty years so I must be doing something right for her to stick around for such a long time. So I'm going to give you some advice, which you can take or leave. Always put each other's needs, feelings, and wellbeing first. Whenever I'm put in a situation and I don't know which way to go, I always think what would be best for my wife. It has never steered me in the wrong direction. You do that, and you two will be just fine."

"Thanks George. That is excellent advice." I was just about to continue when I was interrupted by a very out of breath and very scared looking Jasper. "Jasper, what is it? What's wrong?"

"It's Bella. She needs you."

I've put a link to Bella's dress on my profile. Love reviews, so please take a moment and tell me what you think!
