So I'm late again but last week flew by. It was crazy. Will you forgive me quicker if I tell you I'm ill, exhausted and far too busy? No? Well it was worth a try.

Only FIVE days to go so Merry Christmas to all of you. I'm away for New Year so I'm not sure what's happening with updates around then, I will apparently have internet but we'll see how true that is.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters but I might be getting the Eclipse DVD for Christmas.

Last Chapter...

"Hello?"

"Hey, Edward. It's Bella." I smiled at the sound of her voice.

"This is a pleasant surprise." I told her genuinely, not that I hadn't wanted to talk to Esme.

"How is it being back at home?" She asked as I sunk back onto the sofa.

"Brilliant. I've missed it, that's for sure. There's nothing like waking up on your own sofa."

"What's wrong with your bed?"

"Nothing if you're in it but it was so far away."

"You're getting lazy." She teased and I could hear the smile from her tone.

"I know how you can help me with that."

"Of course you do. Since we're sort of on the topic, I have something to tell you."

"You bought me a pedometer?"

"What? No. Charlie's going to Seattle tomorrow and he will be gone for a few days. They've asked him to help with the case on James."

"Is this some cruel joke?"

"No, he's all packed and ready to go."

"You can stay here... that's if you wanted to." I offered, hoping she would accept.

"I'd love to. Somebody has to keep an eye on you, don't they."

"They do, and you're definitely the best person for the job. I'm seriously tempted to write your dad a note to thank him for leaving town... he might get a bit suspicious though."

"Just a bit."

"I think somebody out there has answered my prayers. Or maybe I'm dreaming... I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Oh, I don't know. Pinch yourself and you will soon find out!" She laughed.

"Ouch. There's no doubt about it, I'm awake." I informed her and I knew she would be rolling her eyes at my antics.

"It's good to know."

"I thought you would like to know."

"You were right. Maybe."

"I'm always right, you should have learned that by know, Miss Swan."

"Somebody is getting a bit ahead of themselves over there."

"Now who might you be talking about? Not me, I hope. I would have to punish you for being so rude."

"Is that so?"

"Oh yes. I don't take that sort of behaviour lightly."

"Well I will arrive promptly after school tomorrow for my punishment, Mr. Cullen."

"Don't be late."

Despite having told Edward I would go straight to his apartment once school had finished I decided to take a detour, returning home as quickly as the speed limit and school traffic allowed.

One glance at the driveway confirmed that Charlie had left like he had said and I dashed into the house and up the stairs, throwing my bag to the floor in my room as I retrieved my towels for a shower. Within sixty seconds I was standing under the steaming spray, allowing the water to wash over me for a short while before washing and conditioning my hair.

After spending no more than five minutes in the shower I was stepping out and towelling off. I wrapped the towel around me before going back into my bedroom and rooting around in my wardrobe for the clothes Alice had thrust upon me the day before.

It wasn't long before I was dressed, my hair dry and a little bit of mascara applied to my lashes. I tipped the school books out of my bag, rushing down the stairs and out of the house while trying not to fall in the heels I had been ordered to wear.

A mixture of nerves and excitement had me drumming my fingers against the steering wheel, my eyes darting from left to right as I navigated the roads of Forks. By the time I arrived at Edward's apartment I was thirty minutes later than I should have been and it was unlikely that he hadn't noticed. He'd soon know why, though.

I slid out of the truck, using the door to balance myself before I made my way into his building, the excitement deteriorating as I became more and more self conscious with every step I took towards him. My phone chimed in my bag and I stopped in my tracks to pull it out and check the message, not wanting to risk it by continuing up the stairs.

Knock him dead, gorgeous -A

I dropped the phone back into my bag without responding to Alice's message. After what seemed to be ten flights of stairs, but was only a couple, I was contemplating turning around and running back to the safety of my home. I took a deep breath in a futile attempt to settle my nerves before knocking on the door in front of me.

Counting to ten in my head I waited for Edward to answer but he never did. Pulling the chain from around my neck, I pushed the key into the lock and the door clicked open. I gingerly turned the handle, looking around for any sign of him as I entered the silent apartment.

"Edward?" I called, listening carefully for any response. "Hello?" Maybe he wasn't here?

"Bella? Is that you?" His voice responded, hoarse and muted.

"Yeah, it's me. Where are you?" My fingers fumbled with the tie on my knee length coat, and then the buttons.

"In my room." Was his reply as I hung my coat up and smoothed my hair from my face.

The heels sunk slightly into the carpet, making it harder to walk down the hallway to the apartment's only bedroom. The door was pushed to and I closed my eyes, whispering to myself, "Grow a pair, Swan," before opening the door to reveal Edward sat up against the pillows on his bed, wearing a pair of sweats and an old tee.

Edward's POV.

I raked my eyes over her as she stood in the doorway, a blush covering her cheeks as she looked at the floor, clearly nervous.

"Shit!" I breathed, licking my lips as I took in the red high heels at her feet, then trailing my gaze up her creamy legs until I found the hem of her white dress that came to just below her ass and clung to her almost like a second skin.

There was a line of buttons all the way up the front of the dress, leading up to the low cut V which exposed her cleavage. Her curves were accentuated by the close fitting material and her breasts were begging for attention.

Above her left breast was a red cross and the collar was lined in the same colour. My very own nurse.

"That's fucking hot." I told her as my eyes finally met hers.

"Thank you." She whispered, herself consciousness contradicting her bold outfit.

"A nurse is just what I needed,"

"Oh?"

"Yes, I think there's a way you can make me feel much better, Nurse Swan."

"I'm at your service, Mr Cullen." A small smile crept onto her face as her courage built.

"Come here." I urged, patting a space on the bed beside me. She sauntered towards me, her hips swaying, until she reached the bed. She then sat down beside me, her body angled towards mine.

"What can I do for you?" She licked her lips, her eyes on mine.

"My lips hurt."

"Well I guess I better kiss them better." She smirked, leaning forwards and pressing her lips into mine, her body pressing against mine in the most delicious way. My hand slid up the back of her thigh to her ass and I pulled her closer, moaning into her mouth as our kiss deepened, her tongue probing my mouth. She gripped one hand on the headboard, the other tangling in my hair. My fingers gripped the soft flesh, refusing to release her.

After a while we pulled apart, sucking much needed air into our lungs, our foreheads resting against each other.

"Is that better?" Bella teased, pulling her hand from my hair and moving back to sit on the bed once more.

"Much better. You work miracles." My phone started to buzz on the desk and I groaned in annoyance. Somebody had terrible timing.

Bella slid off the bed, crossing the room and leaning over the desk to reach my phone, her ass was stuck out with the dress riding up slightly and I sucked in a breath, appreciating the sight before me. Bella glanced over her shoulder, smirking at the effect she was having on me that was clearly visible in my sweats.

She threw the phone to me and I caught it with the tips on my fingers as the screen flashed, telling me that it was Esme phoning.

"Hey, mom." I answered, holding the phone to my ear. Bella was directly across from me and she reached her hands up to the top button of her dress, slowly undoing it while biting her lip and looking over at me through her thick, dark lashes. I gulped, my eyes focusing on the new skin that had been revealed.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." I choked out as the next button was down was undone. My teeth clenched and I stifled a growl as I realised that where there should have been the material of her bra visible, there was only skin. Skin that I was desperate to touch, to taste, to claim.

"No, the cupboards are all stocked." Bella adjusted her dress, smoothing it down before stalking towards me sexily.

"I'll see you tomorrow, mom." I clicked the phone off, throwing it away from me as Bella climbed onto the bed on all fours, crawling towards me and providing me with an excellent view.

"I'm going to take very good care of you, Mr Cullen." She purred as she moved to straddle my lap.

"I'll do anything you say, Nurse Swan." I retorted as she sucked my ear lobe into her mouth, nipping it gently with her teeth.

"After such an injury I think it's necessary to check that everything is still working okay."

"What did you have in mind?" I prompted, tracing a finger down her arm.

"I'll start by examining your chest, so this will have to go." She tugged at my shirt, lifting it over my head with my help.

Bella ran her nails down my chest to my bandage, then up again. She brought her lips to my shoulder, leaving a train of soft kisses along my collar bone, the proceeding to lick along the planes of my chest. She moved her hand to my nipples, dragging her nails across the sensitive flesh and causing me to moan unexpectedly.

My fists clenched as I gave in to the sensations she was inflicting upon my body. She nipped at the flesh of my arm, finally reaching the inside of my elbow and sucking on it. Her tongue moved over it to sooth the flesh before she began to shuffle backwards on the bed, allowing her better access.

Her fingers traced the waistband of my sweats ever so slowly as I waited impatiently for her to move lower, to exactly where I needed her most. Eventually she began to inch the fabric over my hips and with my help she moved them down, tugging them down my thighs and further, until she had completely removed them. They were thrown to the side while Bella raised an eyebrow at me, acknowledging that I had forgone underwear today.

"Your blood circulation seems to be okay." She informed me, her eyes not leaving my hard cock.

"Thank fuck for that." I mumbled, reaching for the clasps on her dress but she hit my hand away.

"Not yet, be patient. I have to look after you, first. I have to do my job properly." She chided. I watched on as she bent forward, wrapping her hand around my erection before darting her tongue out to taste the precum on the tip. I moaned, my breathing coming quicker already. She smiled coyly up at me before taking the tip into her hot mouth, her lips moulding perfectly to me.

My hands went to her fair, fisting handfuls, as she scraped her teeth across my sensitive flesh, causing me to buck my hips. She took more of me into her mouth, swirling her tongue and sucking while her hand pumped the base. I guided her head up and down, pulling harder than intended when her teeth met my tip once more, but my actions only made her moan around my cock, the vibration doing wonderful things to my body.

My hips bucked up to meet her mouth as she moved, her hand still grasping the base. I felt my orgasm building and pulled her away, only to be met with her sexy-as-fuck, smug smile. She prowled closer, bringing her mouth to mine and sucking my bottom lip into her mouth before pulling away again.

"This dress needs to go." I growled as she sat back on her heels, watching me.

"Well what are you waiting for, Mr Cullen?" My hands moved immediately to the top clasp, fumbling as quickly as I could with the rest. It would seem I wasn't the only one going commando today. I pushed the material off her shoulders and she nudged it to the floor, sitting gloriously naked in from of me. I pulled her forward, taking her breast in my mouth while massaging the other with my hand. My tongue swirled around her peak while my hand rolled her pebbled nub between my fingers.

Bella was moaning, her head thrown back with her chest thrust forward. I nipped at the skin on the swell of her breast, kissing up to her jaw and inhaling her scent. I sucked on the sensitive spot behind her ear and she mewled in response.

"Stop teasing." She urged, her nails digging into my shoulders. Not wanting to disappoint her I moved my hands to her hips, shifting her forwards until she was positioned above my cock. She lowered herself quickly and unexpectedly, then taking a moment to adjust before rocking backwards.

Her breasts bounced as she moved up and down over me. There was a light flush across her cheeks and chest and she was gripping onto the headboard behind me while my hands remained on her hips, helping her movement. I began to meet her thrusts, feeling myself go deeper and making Bella cry out, her hooded eyes fixed on mine.

"Fuck... yes!" She panted out as she slammed down on me harder, our skin smacking together audibly.

"Come on, baby... harder...yes!" I growled, my grip on her tightening as I felt my orgasm building. I reached between us to rub her clit while watching mesmerised as she slid on and off my cock, her warmth engulfing me. She moaned my name as I felt her inner walls contract around me, making her impossible tighter. Her orgasm triggered my own and I shot my load inside her, streaming out a list of profanities as I did so before she stopped moving, sucking in shallow breaths, her chest heaving.

"Fuck that was good." She smiled, leaning in to kiss me gently, the action a start contrast to the hot, needy sex we had just had.

"You can say that again." I replied, running my hands up and down her sides, loving the feeling of her smooth skin. "You're so beautiful." I whispered, cupping her face and stroking my thumb across her warm cheek which turned a deeper shade of red in her embarrassment.

"I think your workout for today was very successful." She grinned.

"Regular exercise is necessary to build me up to the fitness level I was at before."

"I quite agree. You're an excellent patient." She slid over so that she was sat nest to me on the bed and curled into my side and I wrapped my arm around her, holding her close, with my cheek resting on the top of her head. I couldn't get enough of her scent, she smelled good enough to eat.

"Esme wants you to come round for dinner with the whole family at some point. She will invite Emmett and Alice, too. She wants to get to know you, so does dad."

"Wait, back up a second there." She pulled away, looking at me with a stunned expression. "They know about us?" She looked like a rabbit caught in headlights as she waited for my response.

"Yeah, her and Carlisle caught on somehow." I admitted, playing it off as nothing big.

"Edward! They can't know! Oh my God, they're going to hate me! What must they think? Oh, this so can't be happening." She looked close to tears and I held her in place as she tried to move off the bed.

"Calm down, Bella. It's okay. They understand to an extent. They don't think it's ideal but really Esme is happy for me."

"She's happy that you're risking your career for a school girl?" Bella scoffed, disbelieving.

"No, she's happy that I've found somebody who is perfect for me, somebody that I love." I told her, pulling her back down next to me.

"But it's illegal, Edward." She stressed, fidgeting in my arms.

"I'm pretty sure they know that, Bella. They would rather I wasn't with a student but they know how I feel about you and they like you already. It isn't long until graduation, as long as we're careful then it doesn't matter. I don't want to lose you, Bella."

"Are you sure they're okay with it? Charlie can't find out, Edward. He'd never understand. Hell, he'd probably arrest you right there and then." I chuckled, slightly nervous from knowing she was probably right. I didn't want to have to face Chief Swan.

"Positive, Bella. They wouldn't invite you for dinner if they weren't. You have nothing to worry about and trust me, I don't want your father to find out either. I value my life and my freedom."

"I don't know, you might be able to pull off the prison uniform." She teased.

"I'd rather not be in the position to find out."

"There are other positions I'd like you in." She whispered, leaning up to kiss my jaw.

"There's no stopping you today, you're on fire." I laughed, turning my head to meet her lips.

"I've been deprived of this for much too long, it's been driving me crazy. You turn me into some crazed sex addict."

"You have the same effect on me. Normally this part of a relationship becomes less intense with time, but that doesn't seem to be the way it is for us."

"I'm glad. I don't think I will ever get tired of this, everything with you is just so good." She admitted, playing with my fingers.

"I can't wait to be able to take you out on a proper date. Our relationship hasn't exactly gone down the traditional route."

"Are you a closet romantic, Mr Cullen? I thought all guys wanted was sex. Nothing about our relationship is exactly traditional but I wouldn't trade it for anything."

"Something like that. The sex is great but I want it to be more than that with you."

"So do I. Maybe we could break all the rules and have sex on the first date." She suggested with a giggle and I found myself wanting the opportunity to take her out more and more but it was frustrating to know I still had to wait. Now the idea was fixed in my head I was quickly becoming impatient. The first date would have to be perfect to make up for waiting so long. It wouldn't be your normal date, Bella was worth more, she was special. Once again I was sounding sappy but love did crazy things to my system, apparently.

"Hmm talking of rule breaking, I'm sure I told you to arrive on time today."

"I don't know what you're talking about." She answered sweetly.

"You were half an hour late and do you remember what I said would happen if you were late, Isabella?" I asked, running my hand along her bare thigh.

"You'll have to refresh my memory, sir."

"I said I would have to punish you. Get on your hands and knees, Bella, facing the left." I instructed and she did as I said, her firm ass facing me.

"Are you ready, Isabella?"

"Yes," She squeaked.

I raised my hand and smacked her ass lightly and she moaned loudly, surprising us both. I pulled my hand back and repeated the motion, receiving the same response as before.

"Do you like being spanked?" God, it was hot.

"Oh fuck yes." She breathed, her voice shaking. I was sporting a semi now, turned on by her reactions more than I could have thought possible.

"You naughty girl, Isabella, you're not as innocent as you seem." My hand connected with her ass once more.

"Fuck." She groaned out and I smoothed my hand over the pink skin.

"Turn around." Once she had done as I requested I motioned for her to come to me and she moved so she was sat with her legs on either side of mine, as she had done earlier. She leant back on the palms of her hands, her body spread out before me and looking sexier than should be allowed.

I trailed my finger up from her knee to her hip before following the juncture at the top of her thigh. Her breathing was becoming shallow in her anticipation as she watched my hand marking it's path. I dipped my finger between her folds, feeling the moisture that had built there.

"Did your punishment make you this wet?" I asked, circling her clit.

"Oh... yes, shit!" I drew the finger into my mouth, tasting her juices. She slammed her mouth to mine, twisting her tongue with my own and tasting herself. Her hand grabbed mine, guiding it down from her breasts, across her stomach and back to her lower lips. I continued to tease her by stroking my finger back and forth.

"Please, Edward..." She begged, her frustration evident in her tone.

"What do you want, Bella? Tell me what you want." I urged.

"I want you to pump your fingers in me, Edward. I want to fucking come." She growled and fuck, if I wasn't turned on right now. Hearing her talk dirty made my cock ache for her and I stroked my throbbing erection, needing release.

I thrust two fingers into her dripping core before pulling them back out. She hissed at the loss but I soon filled her again, making her cry out in pleasure while my other hand began to pump my cock. Bella's fingers curled in the sheets, fisting them in her small hands as she bit her lips, her eyes closed.

"Faster, Edward." She pleaded, her hips rocking slightly in time with my movements. I quickened the motion, rubbing her sensitive nub with my thumb at the same time. Her mewls were encouraging me and mingled with my own moans as I tightened my grip on myself, pumping faster.

Bella's eyes opened, staring straight at me touching myself. "That's so fucking hot." She panted, never moving her eyes away. One of her hands released the bed covers and she brought it up to her breast, pinching the nipple between her fingers, her lips parted. I couldn't get over how beautiful she looked at that moment.

I twisted my fingers inside her, curling them to his the spot that brought her climax quicker. She gyrated her hips once and then I felt her tighten around my fingers, her orgasm hitting her only moments before my own as my seed shot onto her stomach as she watched. I slid my fingers out of her warm core and she grabbed my hand, bringing it to her mouth and she swirled her tongue around my fingers, licking off her juices.

She looked down at her stomach and smirked.

"Sorry," I mumbled but she only rolled her eyes.

"Don't apologise. It was hot watching you touch us both at the same time." She admitted, a blush colouring her cheeks.

"God, I love you."

"I'm Bella, not God, and I love you, too, Edward." She giggled and it was my turn to roll my eyes.

"I'll go get a cloth to clean you up."

"No- I'll go." She insisted, pushing me back against the headboard before climbing off me and crossing the room to the bathroom.

She disappeared inside and I heard the tap running. A few minutes later she reappeared, still gloriously naked.

"You're by far the best nurse I've ever had." I informed her with a smirk and she grinned back at me.

"I should hope none of the other nurses give you this sort of treatment." She joked.

"No, but I'm thinking they should." I teased back and she raised her eyebrows.

"Nuh uh, I don't think so. You're mine." She stuck her tongue out, an action I am sure she picked up from Alice.

"I can't complain. I think I'm going to need your help recovering."

"I think so, too. I will come back tomorrow to see how you're doing."

"You better. Will you stay with me tonight?" I inquired hopefully and she smiled.

"I'd love to."

Author's Note:

Smut, smut and more smut in that chapter. I don't think there's been enough recently.

By the way, in case anybody thought otherwise- this isn't going to turn into a dom/sub style story with BDSM, spanking was just for fun ;)

I meant to update yesterday but I didn't exactly finish the chapter so I was determined to get it up today instead.

I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and enjoy the festive season. In case I don't update before New Year- Enjoy yourselves and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Thank you for reading and thank you for all of the reviews I've had, I really appreciate it.

As usual, you can find me on Twitter (SoWoahNow) or on Facebook (Callie WoahNow Jordan - link on my profile!)

See you soon x
