"Okay, that's enough!" I hollered.

Each student's body tensed as my voice rang throughout the classroom, but I just couldn't do it any longer. If I let what was happening in front of my very own eyes go on, I would've probably burst myself.

"That's it, I can't take it anymore. Tyler, I can see you twitching in your seat from here. It's pathetic. And don't think I didn't catch you either Lauren. Hell, I'm the only one that's not acting like it's my last day on the planet! And just so you all know, I'll be expecting some major Christmas gifts delivered to my door for letting you guys out of class."

It only took a few blinks and a handful of mouths dropping before the class erupted in hollers and cheers, every student gathering their books and screaming their thank you's to my direction before leaving the classroom. I didn't blame them. I was their last class before their final, but most importantly before their joyous holiday break. I remembered sitting in those exact seats myself, listening to my teaching assistant drone on about how hard the final was going to be and that over half of the class would fail. Piece of advice? That's not advice. She ended up making a girl cry when she pointed straight at her and said she'd probably end up serving burgers for the rest of her life.

Yeah, complete bitch.

But I wouldn't do that. Nope, not me. Because I was just as excited to get myself home as much as they were. I didn't have a final, but I sure as hell did have my holiday. And what a holiday it was going to be.

Weeks and weeks of Edward. All to myself.

Fuck the holiday season. I was planning on selfishly being with him as much as I could.

Not only that, but I was planning on giving him anything and everything he wanted. The man went to hell and back with me, and I owed him my life. He brought me back to life, giving me all the love he had in him and more. So, without a doubt, I was going to spoil him rotten. But it wouldn't exactly be all sexual, though I wasn't planning on arguing against any of that. After leaving Seattle, I worked on my plan for the perfect Christmas present for Edward.

After a few more days spending time with Edward in the city where he grew up, as well as spending just as much time with his parents, I found out the real reason why Edward came to New York. To fulfill his dream of opening up his own restaurant. I mean, I knew from little conversation with Edward that he loved to cook, but I hadn't really thought into it. It saddened me a bit to know that there were things about Edward so important that I hadn't known, but I didn't have it in me to be upset about it. I loved him, and I would do anything for him. So after a couple more days in Seattle, I put my plan in motion.

And Christmas Eve, I would give him his dream.
~*~*~*~*~

December 24th – Christmas Eve

With the final preparations of our Christmas dinner finished, I quickly wiped my hands off and ran into the bathroom to get ready. A quick shower was all I really needed, but I was in there for longer than necessary really. My stomach was doing Olympic gymnastics in there, freaking out about how Edward would take his gift. I mean, it was huge. And when I say huge, I mean gi-fucking-normous. I would've been crushed if he didn't like it, or get mad at me, or be upset, or… Yeah, definitely freaking out.

Not only that, but this was actually the first Christmas I had celebrated properly since my parents had died. Rosalie, Alice and I had always exchanged small gifts, but we never went all out. They would visit their parents for a couple days and come back to the loft, only to see me in a complete wreck as I huddled in our home by myself. But I was working through this. Yes, it was a little difficult for me to get everything ready with them, having small flashbacks of my parents, but I was better than I thought I would be. The memories wouldn't bring me down all that much, but rather have me smiling as I reminisced. It was warming, and I felt a pride in myself that I could think about them and not break down. Not only would my parents be proud of me, but I was proud of myself.

It didn't really help me all that much, though I had hoped for it to, when I told Rosalie and Alice about my gift for Edward. They helped me out with little preparations, considering their own connections in high places, but I just couldn't get rid of this sinking feeling I had. The what if's were rambling in my head over and over again. What if I offend him? Or, what if he just left me because he was so angry about it? What if –

Oh, shut the hell up already!

Definitely did not miss my conscience. At all.

"Bella!" Rosalie hollered from the hallway, loud enough for it to echo in my own ears. "What are you doing in there, washing off layers of skin? Hurry up!"

Okay, it was enough of the nerves. Whatever happened would happen. Good, or bad. Or really bad… Or terrible. Or –

Oh, for the love of God! Shut up!

Alright, it was definitely time to get out of the shower before my conscience strapped on some brass knuckles and went at it with me. I turned off the water, threw on a towel to wrap around my body and another for my hair and sprinted into my bedroom. Thankfully, Alice had already laid down her outfit choices for the night. I knew I was fully capable in dressing myself, as did Rosalie, but the little pixie wouldn't even budge. Not that I minded; her outfit choices were always the best. She was a goddess, that one.

I looked down on my bed, smiling at her choice for the evening. It was a v-neck, sleeveless halter dress, the royal blue top portion contrasting against the black skirt. The back was gorgeous, the ends of the halter neck tying into a bow and criss-crossing across my shoulder blades, showing enough skin but not too much to be uncomfortable with. The short length played with my legs, paired with a hot pair of black heels. They were a little higher than my liking, but they were definitely sexy. Edward would definitely approve.

I put on the dress and heels, quickly heading back into the washroom for Rosalie and Alice to start on the hair and makeup. Again, I could've done it myself, but the two of them worked magic. There was no doubt in my mind that I could've made myself look good, but Rosalie and Alice made me look breathtaking. Well, not like I wanted to impress anyone but Edward. But it sure did feel good having his eyes rake my body up and down, eyes glassing over and that sexy, crooked smile of his.

Both Rosalie and Alice were already dressed, just waiting on me to finish up. I was beginning to wonder if Alice had her own pouch of pixie dust, because the two of them were absolutely beautiful.

Rosalie was wearing a fitted, v-neck lavender dress. It was sleeveless, with black insets along the straps and again on both sides of her waist, emphasizing her curves. The dress ended mid-thigh, flattering her long legs which were donning a pair of black heels, similar to my own. Alice's dress was mid-thigh length as well, and with yet another pair of super high black heels to go with it. It was an off-white sort of colour, dipping down into a deep v-neck and sleeveless. The empire waist accentuated her thin waist, and ended in a pleated design along the hem. As she turned, I got a peek at the back which went into another deep V, ending a bit below her shoulder blades.

"You know, I feel bad for Jasper and Emmett. Poor things." I said with mock sincerity as I walked in, their eyes widening in worry. "Once they see the two of you, they'll need a trip to the hospital. A pacemaker sure does sound good for them."

Their worry clearly faded away as they both giggled, Alice doing a little shake with her hips for me as she led me to the chair in front of her.

"Don't be silly Bella. A pacemaker wouldn't work on them." Rosalie said before turning back to the mirror to apply another layer of mascara, a devious smirk plastered on her face. "Though they might need canes to help themselves stand properly."

And that's how it was with us while we finished up. We cracked jokes, we exchanged some gossip, but most of all, we talked about how everything had changed so fast. We were three girls, who just a few months ago were basically walking on eggshells with our lives. But now, we had never been more confident ever. And we were in love. And for the first time since I lost my parents, everything just felt perfect.

After Rose and Alice had finished, I stood from my chair and assessed myself in the mirror. I looked phenomenal, but that wasn't the reason why tears began to well up in my eyes. I looked at our reflections in the mirror, sighing as I attempted to not let the tears fall and ruin the work Alice had done. The girls had both seemed to realize how overwhelmed I was and each wrapped their arms around my waist on each side of me. I clutched onto their forearms, knowing that they shared the exact same feelings as I did.

No one said anything. No one did anything. The only thing that we needed right then was to be in the arms of our best friends, and that's exactly what we did.

After a few moments, I broke the silence by thanking both of them. They looked at me confused, so I continued. "You two are really the best friends a girl could ever ask for. I don't know what I did to deserve either of you. I don't know why I'm loved as much as you two love me. But I do know that you two are my everything. I don't know what would've happened if I was stuck here on my own."

"Bells, you would've been fine."

"No Rose." I said softly, tilting my head to the side to lean against hers as I locked my eyes on her reflection. "I wouldn't have. You know that, both of you. I'm not denying it, but it's not something that's bringing me down anymore. This here, right now, I've never been this happy in a long, long time. I know it won't be like this forever, but I do know that as long as I have the two of you with me, I don't have to worry."

Alice laughed lightly beside me. "And what's Edward? Chopped liver?"

"First of all Alice, you're a nerd for pulling that comment. Who says that anymore, anyways?" I laughed with her, squeezing her arm a little tighter. "Don't be silly. I love Edward more than anything, but you two are my girls. You're the sisters I never had. I would never replace you with anything, or anyone. Even if he's got a hot bod."

Laughing a bit louder, and recovering a bit from our emotional moment, we untangled ourselves right as the doorbell rang. Rosalie turned to head out of the door first, turning before she went down the hallway and leaned her hand on the doorframe.

"Well, I don't know about the two of you. But with the way Emmett makes me scream his name, I think you two have some stiff competition."

Our laughter didn't die down as we headed down the stairs, Rosalie opening the door for the guys. Alice and I were in the kitchen, waiting for our boys to make their entrance, but there was nothing. I had a nervous feeling in my gut and looked at Alice, who had the same expression on her face as I did.

"Rose, is everything okay?" I called out, walking to the door to see for myself before she answered.

"No, it's not. Stupid Emmett won't move and he's blocking the doorway!" She growled as she walked in the opposite direction and I turned to look for myself. And, no doubt, Emmett, clad in what seemed to be his nicest black slacks and light grey dress shirt, was standing in the doorway, mouth agape and completely frozen.

Maybe we should have an ambulance on standby just in case?

I laughed loudly at Emmett as his body started to move slowly forward as he was being pushed from behind by Jasper and Edward, Jasper's voice slightly muffled by Emmett's back. "Emmett, you big oaf! Move the hell out of the way!"

That seemed to snap him out of it, walking over to me and twirling me in a huge bear hug. "Well don't you look just as good as it smells in here! What's for dinner?"

I squealed and squirmed until he'd put me down and answered once he did. "Turkey. Mashed potatoes. You know, the works."

He tilted his head down and looked at me seriously. Well, as serious as he could for Emmett anyways. "Bells?"

"Uh, yeah?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

He leaned in a bit more, whispering dramatically. "How opposed are you to polygamy? You and Rosalie could make me a happy, happy man."

I giggled and began to retort back a smart ass comment before a velvet voice interrupted from behind Emmett. "I don't think so. She's taken."

I smacked Emmett's arm lightly and motioned for him to head inside, getting a quick hug and kiss on the cheek from Jasper, who wore similar black slacks as Emmett's but had on a white dress shirt instead, as he ran in to pull Alice into his arms. I looked back in front of me, sighing softly and smiling as I looked into the emerald green eyes that I loved. Edward's eyes took in my appearance as I raked my eyes over his sculpted body. His black dress shirt fit snugly along his body with a simple white tie paired with it, my favourite crooked smile immediately appearing as he wrapped his arms around my waist. All the nerves in me, those I knew of and those I didn't, immediately settled as I placed my hands on the back of his neck, playing with the tips of his silky hair.

"You look absolutely breathtaking." He said softly, his warm breath ticking my bare shoulder as he nuzzled into my hair.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I said softly, surprised at how breathless I sounded. No matter how short the time it had been between seeing him, I just couldn't get enough of Edward. That was something that would never change.

He pulled his head back slightly, eyes locked on mine as he cupped my cheek with his hand and leaned in to place his lips on mine. I responded immediately, lacing my fingers into his hair and pushing my body flush against his. It only took a few seconds before our kiss deepened, his tongue darting out to gently part my lips. I moaned quietly, not being able to hold anything in when he touched and kissed me like he did, which caused him to pull away. Showing my frustration, I pouted my bottom lip which made him chuckle softly and kiss it.

"Later. I promise." He said, pulling his arms away from my waist and gripping his hand around mine as he led us into the kitchen. It only took him a few steps before the doorbell rang again. I couldn't help but tense as it did, knowing my past with having unexpected visitors. I looked up to Edward nervously, confused as he smirked back down at me. "I hope you don't mind, but we invited a couple friends."

I looked at the rest of our group, both Rose and Alice wearing the same confused look as I was, and the other two Cullen boys matching the same smirk as Edward's. Turning back around, I glanced once more at Edward whose smile only seemed to widen, and walked to the door to see who was here. Once the door opened, I took in the familiar, warm faces in front of me and beamed.

"Carlisle! Esme!" I yelled happily, hugging them both at the same time. The worries of the holidays were easing away as they embraced me back, laughing at my enthusiasm. "I can't believe you're here!"

Esme pulled back, still laughing and cupped my cheek just as her son had a few moments before. "Trust me, we're surprised too. I would've thought Emmett had spoiled the surprise by now."

"Hey! I resent that!" Emmett hollered from the kitchen as the three of us laughed, me holding onto each one of their hands and bringing them into our own gathering.

"Yeah, Mom." Jasper chimed in from behind Alice, his arms still around her waist. "Emmett has a big mouth, but it's only used to fit in as much food as he can."

Everyone made their ways to hug Carlisle and Esme, laughing and embracing each other like family.

Family.

I tensed unconsciously as the word rang through my thoughts, but I wasn't exactly sure what emotions it brought. It was overwhelming, the emotions I was feeling. It almost felt like… like my parents were alive. I felt the same emotions and feelings as I did when I was a teenager, spending Christmas with my parents. Opening presents by our Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate by our fireplace. It was the only time where my parents and I had gone through an entire 24 hours without bickering, or without me being a smart ass. My vision became a little fuzzy as the tears gathered while the memories of the holidays with my parents came back in full force.

"Bella?" I snapped my head up at Edward's concerned voice, watching him as he walked back towards me and placed his hands on my shoulders, rubbing them up and down soothingly. "Hey, you okay?"

I took a deep breath in and let it out, nodding my head. "Yeah, it's just a little overwhelming. Everything's so perfect. I just keep remembering the holiday's with my parents. I don't know why, but with everyone here, it's just so… real."

He looked down at me, the love and adoration clear in his eyes, nodding his head in understanding of what I really meant. The two of us barely needed to explain our feelings in dept to each other anymore. It was as if we were each other's halves, knowing how the other was feeling all the time. "I love you."

"I love you too, Edward. Always." I said softly, placing a chaste kiss on his lips before turning back to everyone else. They all looked equally as worried as Edward had been, so I smiled to let them know that everything was alright. "Okay, now that everyone's here, how about we start dinner?"

Everyone helped bring the food to the table, though Edward was the only one sneaking in some touching as he did. He was obviously trying to be very coy about it too, smiling innocently and turning his attention away once I'd catch him in the act. Apparently I was the one trying to be well-behaved in front of his parents. Well, two can play at that game. So once dinner was finished and all the plates had been cleared for dessert, I took out the cheesecake from the fridge and set it on the counter. And, as expected, Edward wanted to come and 'help'. If only he knew what he was in for.

I crouched down to make it seem as if I was looking for something in the bottom cabinet of the kitchen island, taking my time and waiting for Edward to take the bait. And sure enough, only a few moments later, he stood beside me and leaned back against the island. "What're you looking for?"

"Well, I was looking for something." I said coyly, looking up at him and then back to his crotch. "But it looks like I've found something better."

"Oh, really?" Edward asked, his voice sounding a tad bit lower than usual.

"Mmhmm, I have." I trailed my fingers up from his knee to the zipper on the front of his slacks, biting my bottom lip as my fingers went up and down the zipper. "Much better."

"Bella." He groaned, his hand reaching down and stopping mine. "This isn't the right time to be playing games."

I stifled my laughter for his sake, keeping up with my actions. Standing up and closing the cupboard, I kept my hand in place and leaned my body onto his. "Oh no? Well, with the way you've been touching me all night, I just can't wait to play with you." I leaned farther and placed an open mouthed kiss on his Adam's apple, feeling the rumble of his low groan against my lips. "Isn't that what you want, Edward?"

I placed another kiss underneath his chin, causing him to swear under his breath. "You have no idea." He began to raise his arms to put them around me, so I quickly made my exit. I pulled my lips from his skin and turned to pick up the dessert from the counter, glancing back at him once more and smirking deviously.

"Sorry. The correct answer was fuck yes. Try again next time." I giggled and dodged his arm as he tried to grab me, walking back to the table and placing the cheesecake on were gathered along the table for a bit longer, the conversation always keeping us up with each other before we headed into the lounge. Before we knew it, it had just passed 1am and the yawns were becoming evident. Carlisle and Esme had started to leave, explaining that they were going to head over to the hotel before the boys stopped them. Apparently Alice had thought it would be a great idea for us all to wake up for Christmas morning altogether, so they were to bring their overnight clothes and necessities with them. So with that, Carlisle and Esme went to their condo with promise to be at our loft in the morning, leaving the six of us alone.

Poor, poor Edward. If only he knew the plans I had for him.

After everything was cleared, I headed up to my bedroom with Edward trailing behind me. Just as I had opened my door, I turned around and placed a hand on his chest, stopping him in his tracks.

"You're getting changed in the washroom, and I'll be in my bedroom." I told him, his lips pouting and eyebrows knitting like a cute child.

"Why? Pretty sure I've seen every inch of your gorgeous body." He complained, placing his hands on my hips and trying to lead me into my bedroom. I didn't budge my feet and pushed a little more on his chest.

"Not the point." I kept my voice firm and demanding, needing to keep the act up and going. "I'll let you know that your little gropefest down there was insane. Your parents saw, and it was embarrassing Edward. You're lucky I'm not making you sleep on the sofa tonight. Now go to the washroom, please."

It hurt a little when I saw his expression, but it had to be done. He would appreciate it, I knew he would. But for now, I just had to go with it. He ducked his head, shaking it slowly and turned to the washroom with his bag in hand. I closed the door and quickly stripped out of my clothes, pulling out the new lingerie set I had bought. It was a royal blue lingerie set, entirely made of lace which left nothing to the imagination. The babydoll top barely covered my butt, and the back entirely uncovered down to my hips with ribbon criss-crossing the uncovered skin. The front dipped into a low v, the dark lace contrasting heavily with my pale skin. It was paired with a barely there royal blue thong, which I slipped on quickly as I heard footsteps coming back towards my door. I kept myself closer to the wall as Edward walked in, his dressed clothes gone and replaced with a white tshirt and plaid pajama pants, head still bowed as he headed straight for my bed and sat down.

"Bella, I'm sorry. Really, I didn't really think it through." His apology was slightly muffled as he rubbed his face with his hands and ran them through his hair. "I didn't mean to embarrass you, you know that. I just don't want you mad at me."

He sat there for a few more moments, letting his words sink in as I smiled at him. I had dimmed the room slightly, but I could still see everything. And I knew that he was genuinely sorry. Not like he really had something to be sorry for, but it was all part of the plan.

"Edward," I said softly, the insane need for him already showing in my voice. "Look at me."

He took in a deep breath, his back rising as he did, and looked up in my direction. Immediately, his upset expression had changed into a shocked one, his jaw dropped and eyes raking in my appearance. I smirked mischievously and walked closer to him.

"I'm sorry Edward, but I can't accept your apology right now." He swallowed loudly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he looked up at me. I leaned my head down, breathing against his skin and whispered into his ear. "What you did deserves a punishment."

I moved away and looked back down at him, not surprised that his striking green eyes had darkened a few shades, matching the need in mine. I pushed his chest back slightly for him to move farther onto the bed, and as he did I began to play with the bottom of my babydoll. "You're going to watch everything I do to you. But you can't touch me, ever. If I feel your fingers on me, I'll stop immediately. Do you understand?"

He nodded again, no words leaving his lips as he sat there shocked. I wasn't all that surprised. Whenever we were intimate, I had never been so dominant. But to be honest, I liked it. And from the reaction I was getting, especially the bulge in his pants, he liked it too. I slowly began to raise the babydoll, giving him a short show before pulling it off and exposing my breasts. His eyes were half-lidded, hooded with the lust and probably the pain of not being able to touch me. I moved closer towards him and pulled up his shirt, throwing it onto the floor as I did.

"Do you even know how bad you made me want you down there? Can you imagine me attacking you right in front of your parents? Is that what you wanted?" I whispered in his ear, flicking out my tongue to graze his ear lobe. "To fuck me in front of everyone, claiming me publicly?"

A low groan escaped his lips, so I knew that being harsh was definitely turning him on. It gave me more motive to continue. And more motive to go harder on him. I clicked my tongue, running my fingers down his firm pecs and chiseled abs, playing with the waistband of his pants. "I can't believe you Edward. Going through all of that work to just show people that I'm yours. Possessive, much?"

I started to pull down his pants, Edward raising his hips slightly to allow me to bring them down off of him. I glanced down at his hands which were gripping my sheets tightly, his knuckled white with tension. I ran my hands up his calves, rubbing circles around his thighs and moving closer to his erection.

"Well, I'll have to just teach you a lesson then, Edward. I need to make sure that you never do it again."

Just as slowly as I had with the babydoll top, I moved the lacy thong off of my body. Edward's eyes trailed my hands as I discarded the thong, running up and down my body. I saw his hands move up and immediately stopped him. "What did I say Edward? No touching, or I stop."

His hands went right back to the bed, clutching tightly once more as he moaned. I moved myself onto the bed, straddling his waist and leaned down to kiss him. His lips kissed me back fervently, his tongue entering my mouth and massaging my own. Pulling away, I gripped his base and teased my entrance slightly before pushing onto him. I went down slowly, allowing him to stretch me until he was completely in. His lips parted and bottom lip quivered as I surrounded him, a low breathy moan erupting as he filled me.

"No touching." I reminded him breathlessly, intertwining my fingers on the back of his neck and pulling out of him slightly before pushing back in. Our pace began slowly, neither one of us hurrying but rather taking our time just feeling each other. His shallow breaths matched mine, and our eyes locked on each other as I kept rocking against him. It was the most intimate thing, watching him and his every expression as he entered me over and over again. I arched my back, making him go deeper as I felt the familiar tightening in me.

"Please." Edward whimpered as I kept riding him. "Please Bella, let me touch you. Please."

I couldn't allow him to beg any longer, needing his hands on me just as much as he did. Nodding my head and moaning as I did, his arms flew up and gripped my sides. I felt myself almost at my peak, moaning and whimpering Edward's name as he thrust himself into me harshly. He knew I was close and rolled me over onto my back, my legs immediately wrapping around his waist as he did. His lips met mine, kissing me hard and biting my bottom lip as he kept pushing into me.

"Edward, please." I cried as I pulled away, so close already.

"Wait for me, Bella." He said gruffly, moving his lips to my neck and sucking on the sensitive skin there. He wrapped his arms around my back, placing his hands on my shoulders. He kept thrusting into me again and again, muffling his groans into my neck while I gripped onto his shoulders and dug my nails into his skin. I had no doubt that it would've left a mark, but the way I was feeling at that moment, I couldn't help it. I needed something to hold on to while I waited for him or else I wouldn't have been able to. His groans became louder, and I knew he was there. "Now Bella."

I let go, my walls contracting against him as my orgasm rode me out, leaving me completely breathless and spent. With one last groan, I felt his own release in me as he stilled, placing some of his body weight on me as he tried to catch his breath just like I was. We stayed like that for a while, his arms wrapped around me while I stroked his back lovingly.

After a few moments, Edward pulled out of me, causing me to wince slightly. He moved back as he felt me, the alarm showing on your face. "Bella, did I hurt you? Are you okay?"

I placed a finger on his lips to stop his rambling, smiling sleepily. "I'm more than okay."

Edward sighed and fell back into my arms, his cheek placed above my heart as I continued to stroke his hair.

"I love you, Bella." He whispered groggily, settling more into my arms.

"I love you too, Edward. More than you'll ever know." I whispered back, allowing the sleep to take over me.

Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just Bella's dominatrix attitude?
