CHAPTER 53

•~Bella Swan~

After having spent part of the afternoon moping around, I ordered more room service and pigged out on sushi for lunch. Once I was sufficiently stuffed, I got dressed and made my way downstairs, letting the front desk know that I planned to use the car service for the day.

In just a few short minutes a driver came around, picked me up, and drove me all over the city for a few hours, stopping at several touristy places where I was able to take some photos with my digital camera. It wasn't until a received a text from Edward, telling me he'd be leaving soon that I returned to the hotel, arriving mere minutes before he got back.

It was nearly dark by the time Edward returned to the hotel. Having spent most of the day at the Cullen Media offices downtown, he looked tired and weary, a fact which wasn't all that shocking after the conversation we'd had the night before.

"Did you have a nice day?" he asked as he removed his suit jacket and began loosening his tie.

The whole time, I couldn't stop imagining the low sultry sounds of a porno soundtrack playing in the background as Edward proceeded to slowly remove his suit, unbuttoning his shirt and pants before letting them fall down till they exposed that sexy v-shaped muscle and that trail of hair leading down to his...

"Bella?" he asked, snapping me out of the trance I was under.

"Huh?"

"I asked if you had a nice day," he repeated, his brow raised expectantly.

My face was red, having been caught eye-fucking him yet again. I wondered if he'd even noticed or if he just thought I was daydreaming. "Oh... umm, yeah. I went sight seeing and stuff."

"They told me at the front desk that you used the car service. Thank you. I know you probably preferred not to, but I'm glad you did. I just want you to be safe," he explained seriously.

"It was fine – nice actually. I really didn't mind," I admitted truthfully, giving him a shy smile which he thankfully returned.

"So what do you wanna do tonight?"

That was a loaded question if I ever heard one, and suddenly I had an internal battle going on in my head, a fierce struggle to keep each and every one of my naughty step-dad fantasies from distracting me.

"You know... I'm pretty tired after today – would you mind if we just stayed here?" I hedged.

Edward swallowed thickly before clearing his throat. "You sure you don't want to go out, have dinner or go to the cinema?" I nodded. "Uh okay... then we could watch a movie here if you want?"

"Maybe we could try out the pool?" I suggested impulsively, remembering all the bikini shots on Edward's computer. It made me wonder if seeing me that way might still have the same effect on him. Of course, I didn't expect him to just start stroking his cock the moment he saw me in the swimsuit, but a little sexual frustration might do the man some good, maybe lead him in the right direction...

Suddenly, inspiration struck – if I couldn't grow a pair and admit to my feelings, maybe I could get Edward so worked up he couldn't help but make a move.

"Uh... I don't know," he replied warily.

"Come on, Daddy," I whined, "I wanna go for a swim!" I whined in a childish voice, pouting and sticking out my lower lip while crossing my arms over my chest. The purposeful action successfully managed to draw his gaze to my cleavage.

Edward's eyes widened almost comically before he cleared his throat and nodded his agreement.

Oh yeah... he liked that.

I had a feeling teasing my Bad Daddy was gonna be a lot of fun.


A/N

Uh oh... looks like Edward's in trouble now... Thoughts?

Until later...
