Twenty-Four

So do you think your dad will like me?"

I feigned shock. "Is the cocky, big shot, smartass, Edward Cullen, nervous to meet my dear ol' dad?" He took his eyes of the road momentarily to give me a scowl and I bark out in laughter.

"I'm glad you find this remotely amusing." He was frowning and I found it adorable. I couldn't help but to pinch his cheek playfully. I was in a cheerful mood this morning, incredibly overjoyed Edward was here again with me. It was going to be the first time Charlie met Edward. We collectively decided that once Charlie's health improved, we would make the proper introductions. Edward was an integral part of my life now and I knew without a doubt, Charlie would be thoroughly pleased to meet the man who put an unwavering smile on my face.

"Charlie isn't the hardest person to please. We're actually quite similar in personality, so you don't have to be nervous. I promise." He smiled and took his right hand off the wheel to take my left in his, kissing it once. Our hands stayed locked for the rest of the ride.

When we pulled into the driveway, Edward blew out a deep breath. It was surprising to see him in a neurotic state. The man always exuded confidence everywhere he went and it was one of the many things that initially attracted me to him from the beginning.

I unbuckle my seatbelt and turned in my seat towards him. "Hey, everything is gonna be fine," I assured him, reaching out to caress his face. A small grin forms on his lips and I lean forward to give them a quick peck before stepping out of the car. Edward switches off the ignition before meeting me and I take his hand, leading him to the house. The door is already unlocked so I walk right in. I hear laughter and I follow the sound where I find Charlie, Sue, Seth, and Leah sitting at the kitchen table. My eyes immediately find Charlie's curious ones. He looks a little perplexed to who is beside me and then his eyes zero in on our interwoven fingers and they slightly increase in size.

I giggle a little before I speak. "Dad, this is Edward Cullen, my boyfriend."

Edward waves, a genial smile in place. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you sir. Bella speaks very highly of you and it's good to see you doing so well," he finishes smoothly.

I look back to Charlie, watching as he silently sizes Edward up. I notice Edward tensing up again and it takes everything in me not to laugh. I thought I'd never see the day that Edward Cullen would be intimidated by anyone, but lo and behold, today was my lucky day.

Suddenly, Charlie broke out in raucous laughter, his eyes brimming with tears. "You should see the look on your face!" Everyone started laughing alongside him, excluding Edward. He looked flustered and confused.

"I'm sorry, I'm so confused." Edward looked at me to clue him in on what was happening.

"My dad was just busting your balls, he knows all about you," I giggled.

"So you set me up?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

He leaned in, whispering in my ear, "You're so gonna pay for this later." His dark promise made me slick between my thighs and I looked forward to later already.

"Gladly."

Edward fit in extremely well within my family. Everyone admired him, especially Charlie. When I first told him about Edward, he was pleasantly surprised and fascinated that I had once gained interest in another man after so long. He believed I would spend years alone like he had before he found love again with Sue. He was truly happy that I was happy again.

"As long as he makes you happy, Bells, that's all that matters. I'm happy for you kid," he told me one night as we sat on the porch. It was a nice night and Charlie wanted some fresh air. I helped him along outside, settling him in his seat before I sat on the steps and we began talking about my life back east. It was the perfect opportunity to speak about my newfound relationship with Edward.

I smiled at that memory as Edward and I said our farewells to my family before making our exit. We spent the whole day and even dinner here at the house, laughing and having a pleasant time. I fell even more in love with Edward as I watched him interact with my entire family.

"Thank you for everything," I murmured sweetly. "You were amazing in there."

Edward smiled, pinching my chin between his thumb and index fingers. "Of course. I had an excellent time with all of you. When we get back to the city, my dad invited us over for dinner whenever we're available."

I froze. "Wait. . .Carlisle knows about us?" I shrilled, somewhat mortified.

"Bella, of course he knows about us, " he answered nonchalant. "I mean, we weren't exactly secretive about our relationship. Besides, he's totally fine with it. He's actually happy we're an item."

"So he knows you're here?"

"Have you listened to a word I've said?" Edward chuckled. He was amused while I was freaking the fuck out. He took a quick look at my race and recognized my duress, his amusement squandered. He palmed my face with both hands, making sure I was focused on him.

"Seriously Bella, there's nothing to worry your pretty little head about. Carlisle knew about us already, I didn't say a word. He told me he knew something was up with us and his assumptions were solidified when I left when you took your leave. I told him I was going to Chicago for a few weeks and he caught me off guard when he said and I quote 'Tell Bella Esme and I send her our best wishes'. I fell for it and he started laughing his ass off."

I chuckled. I should've known better to think anything could get by Carlisle; the man was keenly aware of his surroundings. It only would've been a matter of time before he finally called us out. "I guess we're not that inconspicuous after all."

"No, not at all," he smiled. He leaned in as if he was gonna kiss me but stopped just before our lips touched. "I almost forgot something."

I was confused. "What did you forget?"

With a wolfish grin, he simply responded, "Your punishment."

I'm naked from the waist up, on the brink of orgasm when Edward stops his assault with a vibrator on my lower half again for the tenth time. I groan in frustration, my need to cum driving me wild. Edward really meant business when he said he was gonna punish me for earlier. I thought I could handle it but him denying me glorious orgasms was purely diabolical.

Delirious with lust, I began to beg. "Please. " I sounded whiny and almost timid but I was delirious.

My delirium only made him smile. "What's the matter, love? What do you want?"

"You know what I fucking want," I growled.

He chuckled, the sound deep and sexy. "What are you willing to do for it?"

"Whatever you want." I was too far gone at this point, having no qualms about anything he wanted. All inhibitions be damned.

Edward gives me a lecherous grin, tossing the vibrator on the couch a few feet behind behind me. "On your knees and put you hands behind your back."

I slowly sink to the floor and do as I'm told, never breaking eye contact. His green eyes flicker with heat and his nostrils flare as his breathing becomes slightly heavier. He's pleased with my submission, his erection even more protuberant in his trousers. I'm wet beyond belief, aching with need.

Edward pops open the button on his pants before working on the zipper. I watch as he unzips his zipper at an infuriating pace. He's teasing me and I whimper.

"You want to suck me off baby?" He grins mischievously, engrossed by my yearning for him.

"Yes," I reply without an ounce of indignity. I was turned on beyond comprehension.

The green of his irises darken and his smile turns impish. "Open your mouth for me baby."

I waste no time and before I know it, the bulbous head of his cock is between my lips, slowly working it's way in. He groans as he holds my head in place, continuing to force himself into my mouth until my lips finally meet his pelvis. He's lodged deep in my throat and I hum around him, his moan of pleasure reverberating in the quiet room. I become drunk with lust, sucking him furiously. His thrusts matches my movements, fucking my mouth violently. My saliva coats his cock, his thighs, and around my mouth; the slippery and sloppiness of it all makes the loveliest sound as I suck. I can barely breathe but I fucking love it. He holds the top of my head and throat at the same time as he controls this filthy act. I'm so turned on that my panties are swamped with arousal and I can't hold back any longer. I take my hands from behind my back and my fingers find my swollen clit.

I began rubbing circles furiously against the sensitive bud and I moan against his cock as he continues to fuck my mouth. I'm so close to the edge and I know Edward is too by the spasmodic thrust of his hips but before our peaks are reached, Edward dislodges himself from my mouth, hoists me up and impales me on him. I cum swiftly, my inner muscles clamping down on him as he grunts, still fucking me manically. My orgasm feels everlasting, the embodiment of it is above this realm. Edward growls deeply in his chest, finally reaching his own release. It's so strong that I feel his hot cum jet inside me, filling me to the brim.

"What the fuck was that?" He asks through deep breaths. We're both spent and I realize that we're both laying on the floor, still intimately connected.

"I don't know," I answered sluggishly, " but whatever that was, is was out of this fucking world."

"Absofuckinglutely."
