A/N Hiya! I know I left you guys with a cliffy last chapter and I'm sorry not sorry about it :P just wanted to let you all know that we are creeping up to the end of my little fic soon :D can't thank you all enough for your continuous support!

Ok I'll let you get on with it :)

SM owns it all but I'm just playing house with them (I never know if I have to say this in every chapter *shrugs*)

Innocent Until Proven Guilty Chapter 29

He stood his ground as the realisation hit me at what I just did, but the firing of the gun sounded different. It took me a while to realize I had used up all the rounds and shot out a blank at Edward.

Both of us were breathing hard as we stood in this standoff. Both of our legs spread shoulder-width apart. I didn't lower my gun as I looked him dead in the eyes.

He looked royally pissed but I wasn't going to back down. He didn't scare me.

"Isabella put the fucking gun down." He demanded.

I lowered the gun but I didn't let go of it. There was obviously no threat towards me but I was still pumped from the 15 rounds I got into the target before he interrupted me.

"Want to explain to me what the fuck you're doing here?" He demanded to know and I was furious once again.

"Letting off some steam what does it look like? You're probably aware of the fact I was shot at not even an hour ago. Forgive me for wanting to put some practice in." I turned away from him and began to reload the magazine when the gun was suddenly snatched out of my hands and thrown on the counter of the booth, the motion making some of the bullets roll and drop down.

"Isabella you can't just leave my parent's house and not tell any-fucking-body where the fuck you're going!" He continued to bark at me and I was getting fed up with it.

He was right up in my face so I pushed him back. I managed to move him but that was only because he didn't expect it and I caught him by surprise.

I was about to push him again but he grabbed my wrists and pushed me against the wall, trapping my hands above my head as he held them in place. His hard body was pressed up against me and I felt every single inch of him. I could also feel his hard cock strained between us.

My breath caught in my throat as his lips attacked mine in a heated kiss. I moaned into the kiss and he pressed himself harder against me. I wanted to rip the clothes off his glorious body and fuck him senseless to make up for all the time he's denied me these past few days.

His hold on my wrists didn't lessen as he ground his cock into my stomach. I tried to arch away from the wall to bring myself impossibly closer to him but it was futile.

I bit his bottom lip and he hissed as he pulled away from my lips and attacked my neck instead.

"Baby…please. Fuck I need you." I panted as he continued sucking and kissing on my neck.

"What do you want Isabella?" He grunted against my neck.

"Touch…me." I moaned out and felt him move away from me ever so slightly so he could get to the button of my jeans. My zip sounded loud in the otherwise quiet basement but I felt like my body was on fire as he dipped his hand inside my jeans and moved my panties aside before dipping his fingers into my already slick pussy.

"Fuuuck," I tried to grind against his hand but he was still pressed up close against me.

"Damn it you're so wet baby." He panted as his fingers rubbed my clit and his lips attacked mine once again. Our tongues tangled together as we both fought for dominance.

His hand was urgent against me, he had me moaning so loud, I was worried it would carry upstairs to where Siobhan was. However, the faster his fingers moved against me, the less I began to care if anyone heard me.

"Why do you keep testing my control?" He panted against me.

My smile was sly as I ran my tongue over my lower lip before biting down on it, my eyes hooded from the pleasure he was giving me.

"I get off on it." I teased and watched as his eyes turned black with desire.

He finally let go of my wrists and palmed my breast whilst he slipped 2 fingers inside me and started pumping. I threw my head back and it thumped against the wall as I moved my hips in time with his hand.

"Fuck I wish that was your cock filling me." I moaned and grabbed the hand that was on my breast, making him squeeze it harder. The slight pain from it was turning me on the harder he palmed it.

"I can hear how fucking wet you are Isabella. Come on baby, I know you're close. Come on my fucking fingers." He pressed his hips closer to me, completely trapping his hand between us as he ever so slightly began to grind against me.

His breath was hot on my face so I brought it closer to me and captured his lips in mine once again. I could get drunk on his taste alone. His tongue matched the pace of his fingers, dipping in and out of my mouth as his fingers dipped in and out of my pussy. The stimulation from both his fingers and his tongue was too much for me. I screamed as I came on his hand, riding the orgasm out as I grabbed onto his shoulders to steady myself.

As soon as his hand was out of my panties and jeans, I pushed him away and turned him to stand against the wall as I had been moments ago. I dropped down on my knees, my ass still hanging out of my jeans and began to work the fly on his tailored slacks.

I was hungry for him, I wanted to taste his thick cock in my mouth, feel his come hit the back of my throat as I work him over.

I couldn't get his slacks and boxers off of him quick enough before I grasped hold of his cock, giving it a few not so gentle strokes before I finally put it in my mouth. I moaned around him as I took him in as deep as I could. My gag reflexes worked overtime because I couldn't get enough of him.

He's denied me for too long.

He felt hot and heavy on my tongue as I continued to suck him. His hands had fisted in my hair as he yanked my beanie off. My left hand was wrapped around his cock and my rings caught my attention. I could also feel his own pressed against my head and I finally felt whole again.

I felt him get harder inside my mouth and it was his tell that he was close to coming.

"Fuck you look so good on your knees baby. I almost forgot what it feels like to have you sucking my cock." He drawled out as his left hand moved to my face and his thumb stroked my cheek as I hollowed them to suck him harder.

His hips shifted ever so slowly as he tried to fuck my mouth and it turned me on seeing him trying to take back the control he so desperately wanted.

My right hand squeezed his thigh, encouraging him to speed up if he wanted which he pleasantly did. My moan vibrated around him and he moaned out loud before hot spurts of his come shot to the back of my throat.

I carried on lapping him up as he began to soften inside my mouth. Once I finally released him, he held his hand out for me and helped me up. I stood on shaky legs and he suddenly engulfed me in his strong arms.

"I'm so fucking glad you're ok." He mumbled as he kissed the side of my head. I nestled deeper into him, grateful that I was in one piece.

"I love you," I whispered as his hold tightened.

"I love you too," he voiced and placed his index finger under my chin to lift my face up. His lips descended on me and this time the kiss was slow, making my skin tingle as his lips set me on fire.

When we pulled apart, we fastened our respective jeans and slacks whilst we smirked at each other.

Fuck I had missed this so much.

I was pleased to see the hardness behind his eyes was somewhat gone and he looked like the Edward I know and love.

"Are you ready to head home?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I whispered back and he grabbed hold of my hand and picked up the Glock with his other.

Once we made our way upstairs, the guy behind the counter looked at me questioningly.

"I thought you were gay!" he exclaimed which made Edward scowl whilst I laughed.

"With the size of his dick? I don't think so." I snickered as Edward turned to look at me in shock before smirking at the guy behind the counter whilst placing the Glock on top of it. I reached out and gently stroked the gun before stepping back and looking at it wistfully. Both men had their eyes on me but I ignored them, all I wanted was to take the gun home with me.

"Where's Siobhan?" I suddenly asked Edward as we walked towards the door.

"I sent her home." He scowled slightly but didn't elaborate. I shrugged it off and walked over to the driver's side of the car. I couldn't hold back my excitement of getting to drive this baby again.

"Hand over the keys Bella." He demanded as he held his hand out.

"What? Why?" I whined.

"Because you don't have a license and the last thing I want is to be pulled over. Now hand over the keys." He stated like his word was final.

"No way! I drove over here and Siobhan and I were fine!" I challenged him.

"Yet another thing I'll need to discuss with her then." He growled.

"Hey don't. She was amazing today. If it wasn't for her moving me out of the way, the bullet that grazed Demetri would have killed me." His expression immediately sobered up and he gave me a curt nod in acknowledgment.

"You're lucky dad loves you like you were his own daughter because he doesn't let anyone drive the Audi. Not even me." He smirked as he finally relented and got into the passenger's side and I bounced with glee as I slid in behind the wheel again.

The R8 purred to life and I groaned. Fuck I really can't wait to get my driving license back.

Edward didn't look as comfortable as Siobhan did but I was having too much fun to worry about him gripping the seat like his life depended on it.

Once I started weaving through the traffic, he seemed to have calmed down and looked like he was enjoying the ride as much as I was.

"I really wish you'd get something like this instead of that giant SUV. Not that it doesn't hold such dear memories but my god Edward, I think I'm in love." I squealed as I floored the accelerator and the car continued to purr as I hit speeds that were definitely above the limit, making the drivers around us turn and stare.

"Do you realize how hot you look handling this thing?" His voice was dripping with sexual desire and I shifted in the leather seat.

"Carry on talking like that and we'll have to pull over so I can handle you." I panted out.

"I'd happily pay the cleaning bill just to experience that." He retorted back.

I moaned at the thought of it and had to shake my head to clear it. He was driving me crazy with want again. I needed to get us home as soon as possible so I could ride him.

We had stayed relatively quiet for the rest of the ride; my head was all over the place and I didn't even get a chance to ask him what had happened today. I was pretty sure he already knew what happened on campus but I just wondered if he knew where Hunter is now.

"Do we have to take the car back to your parents right now?" I asked as we were getting close to the junction that leads to their house.

"No, he knows you've got it. Let's just go home." Those words were like music to my ears. I was too afraid to look at Edward for him to then tell me we were going home only for him to go back to work. I was getting agitated with my thought process when an obnoxious horn sounded to my right and some bitch tried to cut me off whilst giving me the finger.

I flipped her back and floored the gas pedal to get in front of her.

"Fucking bitch," I grumbled loud enough for Edward to start laughing.

"I can now understand why they took your license away," he continued to laugh and I tried my hardest not to smile at the sound.

"I can't fucking wait to get my baby back once I get my license back." I sighed and quickly turned down the alley to the club's back entrance.

"Home sweet home," he retorted as he got out and I followed suit.

I locked the car up and walked around to where Edward stood waiting for me. He draped his arm around my shoulders and brought me in closer. I inhaled his intoxicating scent and felt like all was right again in my crazy world.

"You hungry?" He asked as we got inside and made our way to the elevator. I nodded and leaned up to kiss him. He smiled into the kiss as we made our way up to the penthouse. All the adrenaline from earlier had left my body and all I wanted to do now was either get in bed with a pizza or run myself a hot steamy bubble bath with a pizza.

"Can we have pizza?" I asked and he simply smiled at me and nodded. I got my phone out and quickly ordered us a Meat Feast with a bunch of sides.

Edward stood in the kitchen watching me and I was waiting for him to start lecturing me about my safety but he just continued to stare at me like I wasn't real.

I hated even the small distance between us so I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist whilst he engulfed me in his again. I looked over at the breakfast bar and realized I never tidied my shit up before I left today, all my books and notes were scattered around the place.

I drew random patterns on his back as we stood there, his heartbeat underneath my ear was lulling me and I had to fight really hard not to fall asleep just standing here.

And then his phone rang.

Great.

I guess it's a bubble bath for one again.

I made sure he could hear the irritation in my sigh as I detached myself away from him. He at least looked at me apologetically.

"I'm gonna go run a bath. Go deal with whatever you have to deal with. Just bring the pizza in with you before you leave." I had resigned myself into believing our earlier happy bubble has already burst. This penthouse was like a fucking curse.

"Bella don't-"

"Your better pick up that phone, it will only keep ringing," I said as I turned away from him and made my way into our bedroom. I knew my behavior was probably petty but I was so fucking tired of this mess.

All I wanted was for Hunter to be 6 feet under and to get Edward back, all of him.

I just wish for one fucking day, no one else needed him to tell them when to wipe their fucking ass.

I began stripping as I got into the bedroom and made my way over to the bathroom. I regulated the water so it was the perfect temperature and let my bath fill whilst I took my make up off. I quickly put my hair up into a messy bun and began whipping my face clean. I stared at the girl in the mirror and hardly recognized her. I had light bags under my eyes where I wasn't sleeping properly without Edward by my side. I could see how today took its toll on me as well as all the stress from getting my work done in time before we leave for Vegas.

It was the one thing I tried to focus on to get me through this.

I poured in the bubbles for my bath and just watched the huge tub fill up with water. I then decided to light up a few candles and the only thing missing was alcohol. Well and Edward but I'll try not to dwell on that.

I quickly walked out naked from the bathroom and then the bedroom and made my way into the kitchen. I walked past the open office door and noticed he was sat behind the desk with his head in his hands as he continued to speak on the phone.

I finally walked over to the fridge and took out the bottle of white wine and one glass. As I turned to make my way back to my bath, the intercom buzzed. There was no way I was going to answer it in my birthday suit so I stopped outside his office.

"Can you get that please," my voice was quiet but his head shot up and his eyes racked over me and drank in the sight of me naked. I watched as he slightly slumped back in his chair and gripped the armrest. It looked like he was in a daze but was brought back to the room when the intercom sounded again.

I didn't wait around for him and continued to make my way back to the bathroom.

The bath had filled just the right amount. I placed my wine and glass on the side of the marble tub and turned the tap off and carefully stepped in. At first the water felt scolding hot but the lower I sank into it, the better it felt against my taut muscles. Before laying back and getting comfortable, I reached over for the wine and poured myself a generous glass. The cold drink felt good on my tongue and I placed the glass against my forehead momentarily, trying to cool my now heated skin.

I sat back and slid my body lower so that only the top of my shoulders were out of the water, the rest of my body was hidden under the bubbles. The aroma from the candles was soothing, the taste of wine on my tongue was delicious, I had a sudden urge to down it all but it tasted so good I wanted to savor every drop.

I placed the glass on the side of the tub next to my head and put my arms inside the water. I closed my eyes and willed my body to relax.

I couldn't unsee the image of Hunter's face behind my eyelids as he fired that gun at me. It really was a close call today.

Too fucking close.

"Is there room for one more?" His velvet voice made my eyes pop open in surprise. He stood in our bathroom in just his slacks, holding the pizza box and a bottle of scotch.

I was distracted by his chest and abs to form coherent words so I simply nodded and watched as he placed the bottle of scotch next to my wine and put the pizza box down beside the sink.

I watched as he unbuttoned his slacks and pulled his zipper down, letting them pool at the bottom of his feet. He then hooked his thumbs under the band of his boxer briefs and pulled them down, revealing his glorious body to me. His cock was semi-hard and I licked my lips as I watched it bob every time he moved.

He snickered as he caught me staring but then grabbed the pizza box and walked over to where my head was.

"Scoot forward, let me get behind you." His voice was gentle and I followed his request. The water sloshed around the tub, almost spilling out but not quite reaching the rim of the bath. He handed me the pizza box and stepped in behind me. The water level rose as he sank down and then placed his legs on either side of mine before placing his hands on my hips and pulling me closer against him. I giggled at the feeling and held onto the pizza box tighter, in fear of dropping it into the water.

"That's better." He sighed as he kissed the back of my head and reached out for the pizza.

He opened it and offered me to take the first slice which I happily did. He took his own slice and placed the box on the floor. His arms were long enough to reach for more if I wanted another slice.

"I thought they needed you down at the warehouse." I finally said. He wrapped his free hand around my waist as I heard him chew behind me before he answered.

"They did but I told them they can deal with it without me. My wife needs me more. The little problem at the warehouse won't be going anywhere anytime soon." He was being cryptic and it made me wonder who he was holding down there.

He didn't elaborate and I didn't ask any more questions as we continued to eat. He offered me another slice which I happily took but then gave him the rest to finish before I reached back for my wine again.

After he was done eating, he wrapped both of his arms around me with one going across my chest which made his hand rest just underneath my breast. I was surrounded by his scent and his body. I still tried to wrap my head around the fact that he was physically here.

"We raided the Romanians today. We've been scouting out their territory since that phone call from Hunter. They either had something over him or he was paying them a shit load of money to keep his scrawny ass safe from me. I don't know what it was but I needed to see the activity going on down there for myself. It's why I haven't been around. I'm sorry you've had to go to bed alone and wake up alone these past few days. It killed me every time I'd come in and find you wrapped around my pillow. I desperately wanted those arms around me but if I'd caved, I knew I wouldn't be able to focus on anything but you. I would have whisked us away somewhere and let dad deal with Hunter and his shit. But the moment that asshole uttered your name, I knew I wanted to be the one to kill him." His chest vibrated through my back as he spoke.

I refrained from commenting. I just wanted to hear his voice, I wanted to feel him with me.

"He was constantly going back and forth between Victoria's place and Vlad and Stefan's auto shop. They ran an underground human trafficking business. They sold people on the black market for thousands of dollars. My father and I have been trying to intercept their every shipment of live cargo that would come through the docks. No cargo was being brought into our docks without us checking it out first. Everyone knew that. They were trying to come up with a way to blindside us and get their shipments via truckloads but we expected that. We have border control in our pockets and we managed to put an alert out. I may have made a mistake with Ben, but that doesn't mean I didn't have other people working for me. He was simply a test that only I was aware of. Looking back at it now, I probably should have told Emmett and Jasper but I needed it to seem legit in order for my plan to work." Gosh, this is the most I've heard him say since we got married. I was afraid to ask questions. I just wanted to carry on hearing his voice.

"When we raided the auto shop, Hunter slipped through my fingers and unfortunately found you. You calling me and telling me you had to go see your professor put me on edge from the get-go. I knew I couldn't be at two places at once. I wanted more than anything to take you there myself but I needed to get the brothers on my turf and clean up the mass of bodies we left behind." He snickered, leaning forward and grabbing the bottle of scotch, taking a long swing from it.

"I take it your body count has increased then." I finally spoke and his body shook behind me as he laughed.

"You could say that." He retorted back before sinking down further in the tub as he began trailing his fingers over my body, getting closer and closer to my breast. Even though the water was still hot, my nipples were rock hard from his barely there touch.

"Vlad unfortunately met his demise the moment he informed me he couldn't wait to get his hands on you and sell you to the highest bidder after they took turns to break you in. All I felt was pure rage as I emptied the mag into him. Emmett had stopped me from doing the same to Stefan so we could question him. We need to find out where Hunter could have possibly run off to. It's who's currently strung up at the warehouse like a pig for slaughter. I wanted him to suffer before I get to have my fun with him." His voice was cold as he continued to tell me what went down this morning.

I don't know whether he realized this or whether he was doing it without thinking, but both of his hands were kneading my breast and I tried my hardest to stay quiet and not let out the dirty moan that was on the tip of my tongue.

As his thumbs grazed my nipples and it didn't look like he was going to say anything further, I finally relented and moaned. I'd felt him get hard behind me for a while now but as soon as my wanton moan left my lips, he grew increasingly harder. All I had to do was lift myself up higher and I could sink down on his cock. My pussy clenched at the thought of it and I grabbed hold of his strong thighs to keep me from slipping.

"Fuck," I let out as he finally put his focus on what he was doing to me. He gathered both of my breasts and tried to hold them with one hand as his other traveled down my body and rested on top of my pussy, his fingers inches away from where I wanted them the most.

"Have I mentioned how much I have missed your body? Remember the night the girls came around and you had passed out drunk on the sofa? I carried you to bed that night and undressed you. You weren't coherent enough for me to take advantage of your naked body and I tried my fucking hardest to just leave you there, in our bed. But you called out for me, well you pretty much moaned my name out and I could smell your pussy Isabella. Whatever you were dreaming, it was making you wet. I wanted to pull the covers off you as soon as I tucked you in, and spread those legs for me so I could dive in and taste you. It was the first time I heard you talk in your sleep." His fingers slipped through my folds as he located my clit and began to slowly tease it.

"You must have been hot from the covers because you soon kicked them off. I sat on that chair in the corner of our room and watched as you spread those magnificent legs and you began touching yourself." He increased the pressure of his touch as he dipped his fingers once again inside me. I was slick from the water but I was also slick from him finger fucking me back at the shooting range.

"Edward," I moaned as I threw my head back into his shoulder and he leaned down and licked my neck before humming.

"That's exactly how you said my name that night. I was rock hard for you Isabella. I wanted nothing more than to wake you up and bury my cock inside you. I wanted to relive whatever glorious dream you were having. Do you remember what you dreamt that night Isabella?" He spoke against my skin, moving his lips to my ear as he gently bit down on my earlobe.

I shook my head.

"I don't remember. All I remember is waking up the next morning feeling horny and wet." I panted out as he continued to play with my pussy. I was so ready for his cock to replace his hand.

"I sat on that chair and took my cock out. It had been a while since I had to take care of my desire for you myself, and I only have myself to blame for that. I want to apologise again for neglecting you Mrs Cullen." He hissed as I wound my arm behind me and grasped his cock.

I slowly moved my hand up and down his shaft, twisting my wrist slightly every time I got to the top. He was breathing heavily against me and I was ready to get out of this bath and fuck.

I quickly stood up, probably slightly too quickly as my legs felt like jelly. I climbed out of the bath and turned to face him.

"Come," was all I said and I watched him rise from the bath, the water ran down his hard body and some splashed over the edge from his quick movement. He gracefully stepped out of the bath and stood before me. Edward moved and hoisted me up so I would wrap my legs around him. Our bodies were still hot from the bath but he had a firm grip on me as he carried me out of the bathroom and into our bedroom where he proceeded to lay me down in the middle of the bed. He loomed over me and kissed me deeply.

I moaned into his mouth and felt his hand move between us as he positioned himself against my entrance. With one swift move of his hips, he was deep inside me. I felt his huge cock stretch me and marveled at how nothing beats the feeling of the first time it goes in.

My back arched off the bed as he continued to push in and out of me. Edward sat up and picked up his pace. My heels rested on his ass and I felt it constrict with every thrust.

I was a panting, moaning mess and at complete mercy of his hands and cock. As he continued to drive into me, I was falling closer and closer to the edge. He lifted my hips up ever so slightly and it was all it took for me to come around him.

"Fuck fuck fuck! You're so tight baby" he panted as he continued his movements. I felt my pussy pulsing against him and I felt like I couldn't catch my breath.

"Get on your hands and knees," he commanded and I followed, scrambling quickly to my hands and knees like a good little girl. He didn't waste any time before he slammed back into me, hitting me deeper than before. His grip on my hips tightened as he plowed into me. The sound of his balls slapping against me was driving me insane as they would hit my clit from the way he had me angled.

"Baby that feels so good…I'm so close again…harder Edward, fuck me harder," I gritted out through clenched teeth as I tried to grasp what little control I had left. He had total control of my body right now and he was playing it like a musical instrument.

I came again with an earth-shattering orgasm as I let my chest drop down to the mattress, burying my face into the sheets. Edward continued to fuck me but I could tell he was close because his own movements became erratic.

With a few more pumps, he was coming inside me with a magnificent roar.

He slumped down on top of me before he rolled off and laid down beside me, trying to catch his breath.

"This," I motioned between our naked bodies, "this should have never stopped happening. We need this physical connection to keep going, to keep sane and strong. Don't ever deny me that again." I panted out.

"I swear, never again." He vowed and reached out to bring me closer to him.

I draped my arm across his chest and rested my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me. I don't remember falling asleep, all I remember is how content I felt to finally sleep in his arms again.

I had meant what I said, I will do everything that I can so his absence doesn't happen again.
