Innocent Until Proven Guilty Chapter 30

I felt feather light kisses trailing down my spine, I continued to lay still, basking in Edward's gentle touches to my body.

"I know you're awake angel," he said and I yelped as he bit down on my ass before laughing softly.

"What time is it?" I moaned as I stretched, pretty sure I looked like a cat stretching out from a deep slumber.

My joints and muscles were pleasantly sore from the middle of the night romp I woke Edward up for. I had to apologise for shooting him somehow-even if it was a blank. I had asked him how he didn't even flinch when I pulled the trigger, he told me he'd been counting my rounds before he approached me. He was surprised I actually pulled the trigger though. He gave me his best puppy dog eyes and I was putty in his hands, well more like his lap but you get the picture.

"It's 6am" he finally responded whilst he continued to palm my ass that was still on display for him.

"You're joking right? We just got back to sleep an hour ago! Why the hell are we up already?" I sounded like a whiny bitch but I didn't care, I loved my sleep and I definitely need more of it.

"We have to catch our flight baby," he mumbled into my skin as he started kissing my shoulders.

That's right, Edward and I were leaving for Vegas earlier than everyone else. He had told me a while back that he had business to take care of and he took Alice's threat seriously when she said he wasn't allowed to conduct any business whilst we're all out there together.

I groaned into the pillow and was tempted to kick my legs like a petulant child. But that thought soon left my mind when I felt the bed dip and Edward's thighs where on either side of mine as he straddled me. His hands were back on my ass and I could feel his erection against me. I patiently waited to see what he would do next, not holding back my small pants of pleasure as he kneads my cheeks.

I could feel him inching closer and closer to my pussy, which was unsurprisingly wet already. This was my body's instant reaction to him, I couldn't help it and I didn't want to either.

His fingers dipped between my cheeks and down to my entrance. He slipped his fingers in slowly and pulled them back out. I instinctively lifted my ass up higher to give him better access, arching my back in the process. After the third time his fingers pulled out of me, I moaned out his name as his hand made contact with my right ass cheek.

Without saying anything further, he slowly sheathed into me from behind, grabbing onto my hips and pulling them towards him, resounding in a loud smack of skin meeting skin. My breath caught in my throat at the feeling and I wanted more.

"Please," I moaned into the pillow.

"Please what Isabella?" Fuck, the way he said my name will never not make me submit to him.

"I want more," I managed to say as he picked up his pace, slamming into me harder and harder with each thrust.

He picked up my right arm and moved it behind me, using it as leverage. That small change in position made a huge impact on the spot his cock was now hitting.

"Fuck," we both cursed at the same time.

I tried lifting my hips higher to be able to meet his thrusts but his grip on me tightened. He was in charge right now and with that revelation, it turned me on more.

His pounding was relentless and I soon began to feel that all-consuming tightness at the pit of my stomach.

"Don't stop don't stop don't stop" I chanted "I'm so close baby…mmm fuck, right there Edward," he shifted once more and pushed his fists into the mattress by the side of my head. We were butt to groin with hardly any space between us as he continued to rock against me.

The head of his cock rubbing against my g-spot made me see spots for a second before my pussy clenched down on him.

"That's it baby, that's my girl," he panted against my ear as he rode out my orgasm. It felt like it was never going to stop as my insides continued to spasm.

There was no rhythm to his thrusts anymore which told me he was close. I tried pushing back as much as his body would allow me and it had seemed to do the trick. I saw his arms shake a little before he stilled and spilled inside me, biting my shoulder as he came.

I lowered my hips back down on the bed as Edward pulled out of me and rolled over to the side. We were both trying to catch our breath and I turned my head to face him.

"You're forgiven," I teased.

"For what?" he asked, smiling as he gazed at me.

"For waking me up at the ass crack of dawn," I laughed and his eyes creased as he smiled at me. He moved to lay on his side and propped himself up by his elbow. His eyes raked down my body before they landed back on my face.

"I'm sorry," he finally spoke.

"For what?" I was the one to ask this time.

"For shutting you out the way that I did. The days following our wedding should have been blissful. I had actually planned to take you away for a couple of days and then fly directly to Vegas from there, but of course, you know what happened there. I just want you to know how sorry I am. Whenever I've had work to do, I never needed to care about anyone else but the job at hand. I didn't have anyone waiting for me back home. I seemed to have gone back to that mentality and I'm sorry about that. I just want this asshole dead." He growled out the last part.

I mirrored his position and had to stop myself from groaning as I felt his come leave my body.

I guess I'll need to change the sheets before we leave.

"You're more than forgiven baby. I may not know what that mind-set is like, but I can understand it. You promised me it won't happen again and I'll hold you to that. It's behind us, the whole Hunter situation may not be over, but I'm positive he'll crawl out of whatever hole he's hiding in soon. And we'll be ready when he does." I leaned forward and kissed him. His lips were soft against me and made it harder to want to leave our little bubble.

I sighed when we pulled apart. I raked my fingers through my hair and tried to come up with a plan on how to get shit done before we leave.

"Ok I'm gonna jump in the shower and then pack a bag. Let me know if you need me to do anything for you." He pecked my lips once more and jumped out of bed.

Before entering the bathroom, he turned back to look at me "I fucking missed waking up with you like this." He bit his bottom lip before smirking at me and disappearing into the shower.

I shook my head to clear it from the Edward induced haze and got out of bed myself. I quickly cleaned myself up to be more comfortable before I began stripping the bed. I threw it into the washer and walked back into the bedroom. I could hear the shower still running and I was about to jump in with him but his phone started ringing.

I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Siobhan so I picked up.

"Mr Cullen…erm Edward…Sir…Mr Edward…shit, look I'm sorry if I overstepped the line yesterday but it was obvious Bella needed to let off some steam. I would never let any harm come to her you know that so please don't be mad at her…or me. Shit I'm sorry." She rambled on and I was trying really hard not to laugh.

"Breath Siobhan," I laughed "don't sweat it ok? He's not mad trust me." I smiled into the phone even though she can't see me. I heard the shower turn off and moments later, Edward emerged from the bathroom and looked at me questioningly as I continued to listen to her ramble.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"Siobhan," I mouthed back and saw a small smile on the corner of his mouth.

He looked fucking delicious with water dripping down his chest as one towel was wrapped around his waist and he was rubbing his hair dry with another. I licked my lips as I watched him walk closer to me. He had a hungry look in his eyes as he watched me, standing there naked and not paying any attention to what Siobhan was saying.

"…hellooooo, are you even listening to me?" She asked whilst laughing.

"Shit sorry, what did you say?"

"I said is he there? I'd like to speak to him." She full on laughed at me and I told her to hold on as I reached out and handed the phone over to him. I was too scared to come any closer because I knew my resolve would crumble as soon as I touched him.

I had too much to do to get lost in him again.

As I walked past him, he slapped my ass and winked at me before putting the phone to his ear. I couldn't help but smile at his playful mood.

I quickly went through my routine in the shower and as I shut the water off, I could hear Edward's raised voice. It was still too damn early for someone to have already pissed him off.

I wrapped a white towel around my body and stepped back into the bedroom. Edward was pacing at the foot of the bed, his eyebrows were drawn together as he listened to whoever was on the other side of the line.

"I don't give a fuck! Pick him up and get him back to the warehouse…no…no…I fucking said no! Bella and I are leaving in an hour for Vegas, this shit better be sorted and I better have answers by the time I land." He hung up and threw the phone on the bed. He ran his fingers through his hair and tilted his head back as he sighed.

"Everything ok baby?" I asked as I walked over to the dresser and picked up my body lotion.

I put my leg on the edge of the bed and began applying the lotion into my skin. I turned back to look at him and found him staring at me. I laughed at his gawking and continued rubbing the cream up and down my leg.

"Edward?" I tried again and heard him clear his throat. As I looked over, I saw him adjust himself before he moved closer to me as I swapped legs.

"Demetri found Victoria's brother, you know the one who supplied Hunter with drugs. Because Stefan is still not talking, we think the brother might know where Hunter has run off to." He said and leaned over to leave a kiss on top of my shoulder.

I straightened up and wrapped my arms around his neck. I cranked my head back to look up at him as he smiled down at me. I pulled him down so I could kiss him and he moved his hands around to my ass and gave it a generous squeeze. I could feel his erection between us but we had no time for it right now.

We continued to kiss languidly and he continued to grope me.

And then his phone rang again.

I groaned into his mouth and so did he which made me giggle.

"Go, go be a boss for another half hour and then we've got to leave. Where's your bag? Have you packed yet?" I asked. He continued to gaze at me and then shook his head no.

He pulled away from me and walked into the closet and came back out with both my travel bag as well as his. He placed them on the bed and grabbed his phone at the same time.

"I'm gonna be in the office if you need me for anything. Pack whatever you want for me but make sure to pack my grey suit for the wedding, it's the one Alice told me I had to bring. I love you Mrs Cullen," he gave me a quick peck on the lips and walked out of the room growling into his phone at whoever it is that called him.

"I love you too!" I shouted back and heard him laugh before the office door clicked shut.

I walked back over to our dresser and took out underwear and socks for Edward and a sexy lingerie set for myself. It was one he hasn't destroyed yet.

I then walked into the closet and took down the light grey silky dress Alice wants Rose and I to wear as well as Edward's suit. When she came over that night, she dragged me into the closet to go through Edward's suits. She had already gone through Emmett's and wanted to see if Edward had anything similar. Edward had a lucky escape and didn't have to model them for her like she hoped he would. That was the same night we got drunk whilst he was 'away' working.

But for Rose and I, we actually had to go dress shopping because she wanted us to look the same. The dresses had a sweetheart neckline and was floor length with a giant slit on the right that went up pretty much to the top of the thigh. It was slightly raunchy for a bridesmaid dress but then again, we were going to Vegas for the wedding.

We had free reign on hair and makeup and I am still surprised the little pixie didn't turn into bridezilla. She had 2 months to plan it all and has done an amazing job with it.

I wanted to wear sweats to the airport but Edward informed me that we'll be going for lunch to meet his uncle Peter as soon as we land. So instead I decided on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white silk cami and a light brown teddy fleece jacket. It was a lot warmer in Vegas than Chicago right now so I can just leave the jacket at the hotel if I get too hot.

As for the bachelorette night, I picked out a skin tight black midi skirt with a zip that went down my ass crack and stopped a good ¾ away from the hemline, offering a nice slit so I'd be able to move in it. For the top I decided on an intricate bralette that had the cups for my breast but the rest of it could hardly be described as fabric. It was just strips of faux leather material that formed short sleeves and a few criss-cross lines under the bra itself. I ran it through Alice first and she agreed that it was the perfect outfit. Rose cried when she saw me try it on because she said it will be a while before she can fit into anything like that again.

She still wasn't even showing yet…

Edward said he wanted dress pants and a shirt for the night so that was easy enough to pack for him. I picked out a pair of his trousers that made my mouth water when he wore them. It complemented his bulge nicely and I was getting slightly hot just thinking about him in them. As for the shirt, I just picked out a slim fit white one.

He can pick the jet outfit himself.

After all the clothes were packed, I made sure to put our shoes in the bags also and all was left were my toiletries. I made a few back and forth trips from the bathroom to the dresser and back again as I collected all the essentials.

I was just slipping my underwear on when Edward appeared back into the bedroom and stopped short when he saw me.

"Looks like I came in just in time," he teased as he walked over to me and wrapped his strong arms around my waist. I kissed his chest as he rested his chin on the top of my head and just held me there.

"Did you get a few things sorted?" I asked into his chest as he held me close.

"Yeah. It was mostly paperwork for shipments we have coming in whilst we're away and the Romanians have a live shipment coming in tonight and I needed to get the guys ready for it for when it does. It's going to be sent right back after my guys check it out to see if the 'live' shipments are still actually alive." Disgust laced his tone and I shuddered at the thought of all these people being shipped across the country, probably promised a better life only to be sold to the highest bidder.

"God am I glad your family isn't part of that type of mob life," I whispered. I don't think I would have been able to live with myself if I knew he was involved in that.

"I would have walked away if they were." He stated before leaving a kiss at the top of my head.

We stood there for a few minutes, lost in each other's thoughts before we pulled apart and got dressed.

I almost did a double-take as Edward emerged from the walk-in closet dressed in blue ripped jeans, a white t-shirt and a camel coloured overcoat with matching colour suede boots. He made my pulse quicken as he put his watch on, looking like a model from the magazines. Man am I lucky to call him my husband. I was ridiculously attracted to him.

Fuck. Me.

I must have uttered it out loud because he turned to look at me and laughed as he took in my outfit.

We were both wearing pretty similar outfits apart from my jeans were black and my jacket was different as well as my footwear.

I still couldn't get over at how hot he is.

"Maybe we'll join the mile-high club," he said as he winked at me.

"Unless it has a private suite, we are joining no club baby," I stated as I spritzed on some perfume.

I double checked I had everything and then declared myself ready. Edward grabbed our bags and we made our way out of the apartment and into the elevator.

The ride down didn't take any time at all and we were both greeted by Seth when the door reopened.

"Have a safe flight you guys," he said cheerily, waving at us before he shut the door behind us. It was definitely nice to see his friendly face more often now that Felix was gone.

I was making my way over to the SUV but Edward quickly grabbed my hand and halted me.

"We're taking my other car today," he smirked at me.

"What other car?" I asked, confused as I didn't notice any other car parked out here.

Instead of answering me, he tugged on my hand and led me the opposite way of the alley, towards the other end of the building where a sleek Aston Martin Vulcan sat, shining in the sunlight. I was sure my jaw dropped for the second time today as I took in the beauty in front of us.

"You're kidding right?! When did you get this?" I questioned.

"Demetri dropped it off last night," his excitement was palpable as he looked at the car, he was positively giddy with excitement and looked like a little kid on Christmas.

"Will you ever let me drive it?" I teased. I wanted to laugh as his smile dropped a little and he looked at me, panicking slightly.

"Oh erm, sure baby…one day." He tried to sound reassuring but failed miserably. I couldn't hold it in much longer and burst out laughing at the expression on his face.

"Don't worry Edward, I was only teasing. It's a beautiful car baby," I leaned up to kiss his cheek as he produced the key out of his pocket and unlocked the beauty.

He opened my door for me, giving me a hand as I slipped inside. The leather seats were super comfortable and I felt extremely low to the ground. I couldn't wait to see what this car could do.

After Edward put our bags away, he jumped in and started the car up. It purred to life and we both groaned at the sound. He revved the engine and I felt my seat vibrate with the power behind it.

"Jesus," was all I was able to mutter.

"I know," was Edward's response before he put it into gear and we flew out of the alleyway towards the airport.

We were flying from Midway International and it didn't take us long to get there. Especially with the way Edward drove. If it wasn't for the way the scenery passed us, I would have never thought we were moving at all. Inside the car was completely silent and I once again marvelled at how it was designed.

"I want a car like this," I whined and angled my body to face him.

"You want matching cars Bella?" he asked and quirked his eyebrow in question.

"Yeah, change our licence plates to say King and Queen and everything," I teased and he laughed, shaking his head at my silliness.

"I'm sure we can come up with something, I owe you a wedding present anyway." He winked at me and I felt giddy with excitement.

I don't even know where my love for fast cars came from, both mum and dad had a driver but as soon as I got my licence, this need for speed and fast cars grew within me and I've been hooked since.

We finally pulled up into an underground parking lot and Edward drove around until we found a spot. Once the car was securely locked, we headed inside the airport to check in. Flying on a private jet obviously had its perks because we didn't need to wait long before we were escorted onto the aircraft.

A guy with a cart pulled up as soon as our paperwork was checked and drove us over to the jet. We were then greeted by an older gentleman who resembled Alfred from the Batman movies.

"Mr and Mrs Cullen, welcome. My name is Johnson, as soon as we get you settled in, we'll be taking off. Can I get you anything at all before take-off?" he looked at me warmly with a gentle smile on his face.

"No thank you Johnson." I replied and smiled back.

"Very well, and for you Mr Cullen?" he turned to Edward who was quickly glancing around the jet before he focused on Johnson again.

"No thank you. I'd like to have a word with the pilot though. Angel go grab a seat ok, I'll be back in a minute," he kissed my cheek before he followed Johnson into the cockpit.

I marvelled at the design of the private jet. I have never flown in one before so I was a little excited to experience it.

I got comfortable in one of the plush chairs and took my phone out. I had a message from Alice and my mother.

Alice wanting to know if we've left yet and my mother wondering if we can get together once Edward and I are back.

There's a fundraiser her and Esme are throwing and she wants my input. It was still a little strange for me to come to terms with how long our parents have known each other. Not forgetting the fact that my father is still ok with Edward and I being married. This new relationship with my mother felt good but we have yet to sit down together and really hash some things out. But I guess we can do that once we're back from Vegas.

Right now, all I want to focus on is going away with my husband and celebrate one of my best friend's wedding.

I was so engrossed in my own thoughts that I didn't even notice Edward sitting opposite me until he reached out and touched my knee.

"Everything alright?" he asked me.

"Everything is perfect."

Vegas here we come.
