"Mr. Cullen, it's come to our attention that there's been some fraudulent activities going on in your company here is Paris." The short old man sits across from Edward with his hands resting on the conference table.

I'm feeling ok this morning so I decided to come to the important meeting that had us flying across the country for. Last night was the best night I've ever had in my life. With the baby news now out and Edward's out of the blue proposal, not only has a weight been lifted off my shoulders but I'm the happiest woman in the world. If people think that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, then they weren't on my bathroom floor where Edward Cullen, CEO of Cullen Corp, top ten of Forbes and top ten Bachelor of the year proposed.

Sure it was an unusual place but the moment was right and when you're in love what else do you need? Romance can come later. We made love once last night slowly, Edward now thinks that he can somehow hurt the baby if he's rough with me or goes to fast. We woke up this morning all tangled in the sheets and hungry, VERY hungry.

So here we are now sitting in the boardroom with Alice, Tanya, James and his assistant which for the life of me I can't remember her name.

"Well Jim I understand that there was some problems with management and how we need to either re hire or do some shuffling around is that correct? Now you're telling me that there is fraud taking place within the company?" Edward sits taller in his chair and rubs his nose where his glasses meet them.

"Yes sir, it came out of nowhere really. The accountant noticed it the weekend before you were going to fly out. That's when I called you and notified you immediately." The man's voice shakes a little, clearly intimidated by Edward's demeanor.

I can see Edwards eyes flit back and forth between Jim and James as if he's connecting the dots.

"James, were you aware of any fraudulent transactions occurring over here in Paris?" James looks to Jim and shakes his head no.

"No Edward, I had no clue what was going on."

"I find that a little hard to believe, you are my Chief Financial Officer for both companies and you NEVER noticed strange transactions?" James shakes his head no again. I study James for a moment and tilt my head to the side. He truly looks like he knows nothing and he also looks intimidated just like Jim.

I can tell that Edward's anger is starting to get the best of him so I gently rub my tummy as if I was hungry and stare at Edward, willing him to look my way. He glances over and his eyes drop to my movements. He makes no facial movements, not even a slight turn of his head, just his eyes catch it. He looks back to Jim and his demeanor relaxes just a little. My inner woman is smug with the ability to bring him down a level. But not for long, he stands and paces the room by the windows over looking the L'Ouvre.

"What kind of fraud are we talking about here?" He asks in a clipped tone.

"W-well, Mr. Cullen there has been statements of financial sums being deposited into certain accounts and only half of the full amount has actually been deposited sir." I listen carefully wondering why I even need to be here, this really has nothing to do with me. Maybe he didn't want to let me out of his sight.

"Isabella?" I look up and see James talking to me. I shake my head clear and smile at him.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something." I rattle.

"No problem, I was wondering if you could bring up the files that I sent you for the annual quarter for the Paris branch?" I remember that James emailed me those files the afternoon that I had to go to the hospital.

"Absolutely, just give me a few moments here." I open my laptop and power it up.

"Are you not prepared Miss. Swan? You come into a meeting and you're not prepared, really?" James leans forward with his elbows on the table and I recoil by his statement.

I look to Edward and he's still facing the window with his back to us, well no help there, thanks a lot jerk! Just as I'm about to defend myself Edward turns around and walks over to the table right in front of James and rests his hands on the table and leans towards him.

"May I remind you here of my position?" Edward snarls.

Ok I take that back, he's not a jerk.

"I know who you are Edward." James says with a sigh.

"Good, and if you ever talk to Miss. Swan like that again, my position will take your position and throw it out the window. Am I clear?" His voice is now calm but firm. James looks over to me and nods his head.

"I apologize Miss, Swan." He says with embarrassment.

"Thank you." I reply with a smile. I look over at Alice and her eyes are studying my wrist, clearly not paying attention to what's been going in the last 30 seconds.

"Alice!" Edward snaps. She whips her head over and looks surprise at him. He calmly addresses her again and this time softer.

"Alice, have you noticed any unusual transaction taking place, not that you would, but I thought I would ask."

"No I haven't, I'm sorry. Tanya have you?"

I look at Tanya and she's staring at me. She looks over at Alice and with a fake smile says no.

Ok that's weird. I look back at Alice and she turns her head back to me and I question her with my eyes, asking her what is she staring at. I shake my head and turn back to the files James asks me to bring up. I stand to take my laptop over to the back of the room where all the cords and extensions are and plug in the printer/fax cord. Moments later pages are being pushed out and I hand them out to Jim. He looks them over and produces his own booklet and passes both to James and Edward. They go over them for a minute and Alice comes over to where I'm standing by my laptop.

"So did you tell him?" She asks whispering. I smile and look behind her to see if anyone can hear. I notice that Tanya has her ear cocked in our direction and her body is leaning towards us.

"Yes I did last night. Well he actually knew, and he wanted to wait for me to tell him. He wasn't mad at all, he was actually happy about it. He wants a family Alice!" I exclaim a little too loudly. Everyone looks over and I mouth "sorry".

I look back to Alice and she's smiling teeth.

"See I told you, I told you it would work out." She picks up my hand and squeezes it. She fingers my navy blue ribbon and brings it up to her eyes for a better look.

"Quite the interesting piece of accessory you have, it doesn't necessarily match your outfit. Tell me what inspired you to wear this?"

"Can we talk about it later? Now's not the time." I plead.

"Of course, I won't forget." I know she would never forget. She's going to drill me on this as soon as she has me alone.

"Ok well we need to investigate this and I want the best on it. Notify the authorities and have them in on it. I want this cleared up. I want it done sooner than later. I'm going to be looking into it myself as well. I want all updates to come through me immediately. Are we all in agreement?" Edward stands there with his hands on his hips addressing the room. Everyone shake their heads.

"Now I believe we have other business to attend to. I'm going to take a tour of the building. I'm going to talk to some individuals in every department. Then we can meet back here to talk logistics. You all can go to lunch, let's meet back here at lets say….2pm. Is that enough time?" Edward asks with annoyance in his voice. We all shake our heads and everyone starts to pack up, even me.

"Alice, I would like you to come with me please." He says looking down at the papers on the table. Alice turns to me and kisses me on the cheek.

"I'll meet up with you later ok? We'll go to the spa or something. You absolutely must experience the culture here."

I roll my eyes and give her a dirty look.

"Alice I can do that back in Seattle. They have spa's there as well."

"Not like they do in Paris!" She exclaims. I see Edward come up behind her and her head comes up to his shoulders. He looks at me, and at first I think he's upset with me for defending me against James in not being prepared, but his face softens. His kisses the back of Alice's head and smiles at me.

"Miss. Swan, you must try the spa's here in Paris. They are far greater than the one's in Seattle. I even make an appearance once in a while. Don't argue about it, it's a done deal." Alice giggles and walks over to the door to give us some privacy leaving us alone.

"Bella, could you go back to the hotel and wait for me there. I won't be long I promise. There are some shady things going on and I need to get to the bottom of it. And you are such a distraction for me. Go order some room service and take a nap if you need one. When I get back we can do whatever you like ok?" He takes my hand and kisses the inside of my wrist where the ribbon is tied.

"I am a little tired. I was up late last night." I wiggle my eyebrows at him and smirks. He kisses my temple and whispers in my ear, "Easy Mrs. Cullen, I might take you here and now across that lone conference table. There are glass windows separating this room from other offices that also have glass windows. If you would like to give everyone a show I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself when we're out in public."

I never knew that calling me Mrs. Cullen would have such a profound affect on me. Feeling his breath on my ear makes me lean into his already close body. I tilt my head up and start to kiss him, but then I think better of it and just brush my lips across his jawbone and turn to walk away while pressing my breast against his chest rubbing them slowly as I'm turning. His head rolls back and I smile knowing that I'm going to get it later.

Then again that's the plan.

I move to the door and out of no where he comes and stands in front of the closed door where the wall meets wall, a very small space that no one can see. Edward pins me up against the wall beside the door and presses his lower body into me. I gasp at the sudden movement and without words he takes both my hands and holds them above my head. My breathing is heavy and I can hear noises coming down the hall.

"Edward, you need to stop, someone's going to catch us." I pant.

"Fuck them, I don't care. It's my company, they work for me. If I want to fuck with my fiancée for a minute then I will do so." He's tracing my inner thighs with his fingers and I'm turned on by his quiet commanding vocal assurance.

He unbuttons my blazer and begins to trace the swells of my breast through my blouse. I hear him moaning and with a quick jerk the buttons are ripped away except for the first two. He presses his face into the valley of my heaving chest and unhooks the front clasp of my bra letting my breasts bounce forth. He palms one vigorously and sucks the nipple of the other just as fast, biting and pulling on it with his teeth. I now feel something wet dripping down my leg, I rub my thighs together to relieve the tickling sensation. Edward feels my movements and brings his head up to me and smiles a crooked smile.

"Really Miss. Swan, I had no clue that you were so turned on right now." He says smugly. I'm panting right now and I can't take a second more of this torture, does he not know that a woman's hormones are through the roof when she's pregnant.

"Edward? Why don't you use that pretty little mouth to do something other than talk." His mouth pops open and his eyes turn dark. He resumes biting my breasts alternating between the two and his hand is now traveling down to my apex.

As soon as he touches me my body starts to climb with anticipation. He rubs my clit slowly and slowly and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

and slowly

then he gets faster and faster and faster

and faster

and faster

and faster

My body starts to shake as my orgasm takes over. I'm now milking his fingers for all they're worth and I close my eyes tight reveling in the feeling of pure bliss. He slows down his ministrations and I rest for a moment trying to catch my breath.

He releases my hands from above me head, clips my bra back together and buttons my blazer up, hiding the rest of my blouse where the missing buttons are. My breathing is starting to come back to normal so I straighten my skirt out and step away from him towards the door. Without word he comes behind me and puts his hand under my skirt and rips off my thong. I jump a little at the sudden movement, he smells them and tucks them in his pants pocket leaving the room. I shake my head and chuckle. I go to leave but then realize that I left my laptop on the desk. I walk over to the desk and move one of the chairs out of the way to reach for it only to see Tanya crouched under the desk. I scream and jump back a little.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask her. She stands and holds out a pen.

"I dropped this." She says with a sick smile.

"What took you so long to get it?" I snap.

"Well what have we got here Miss. Swan?" She asks ignoring my question.

"It's none of your business Tanya!" I snarl back at her. She walks around me like she's stalking me. I stand still not making any movement. I'm not about to get into a fight with her when I'm pregnant. She stops circling me and brings her face to my ear whispering,

"You know, Edward did the very same thing to me a while ago. Aren't his hands are work of art? They move with such grace." She sighs and I can feel my anger growing.

"Did he tell you that he loves you?" I try not to give anything away with my face but I really want to cry.

"Did he propose to you?

"Did he make all sorts of promises to you?" She laughs and walks to the door, before she leaves she turns around and says,

"Cause he said the same things to me sweetheart." She walks out the door slamming it behind her.

I'm trying not to react to the situation.

I'm trying so hard not to make a scene in front of these glass windows.

I'm trying not to believe her.

I'm trying to believe that he's different.

I'm trying not to cry.

A/N: Frick Tanya's a bitch! Why can't she just leave them alone? I would think that strike three is approaching wouldn't you? And who watches that sort of thing from under the table. That's just really very creepy, yet hot at the same time. Hmmm.

I'm taking this story on a quick detour to add some drama.

Let me know what you think.
