Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the Twilight characters.
Please don't be upset with me. I know that this has taken me forever to post, especially after I said that I would post soon.
I feel like I'm always busy and never have a moment to sit and breathe but it'll be okay. I'm going to try a new approach to the story. - My daily goal will be to write 1,000 words. This should have me write a little bit daily rather than trying to write everything in one day. I should have a chapter that is at least 7,000 words by the end of the week. On the 7th day, I should proofread it and post it.
We will see how this goes.
I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing because I have so many ideas for this story….. but getting them to fit together is the hard part. I even have ideas for new stories but I'm not going to start those until I finish this one.
Please read and review and let me know what you think. I love reading your feedback! I'm sorry that some readers didn't like their games and thought they were childish. Please remember this is just a story for fun….
I appreciate everyone who keeps an open mind with this extremely unconventional story. Sorry for any spelling/format/grammer errors.
This chapter isn't as exciting as others….
"I dare you to kiss Alice."
"What!" Edward, Alice, and I all yelled out.
"See it through." I whispered to myself. Emmett and I held eye contact for a long minute before I stood up.

"I dare you to kiss Alice." Emmetts words caused me to choke on my beer.
"What?" I sat up straighter and yelled out my protest. Bella and Alice both seemed to be in the same state of shock.
Bella quietly whispered to herself about 'seeing it through' before she stood up. Should I be stopping her, saying something about how this is unnecessary?
I didn't want Bella to be uncomfortable or to feel pressured over a silly game. I would be lying if I didn't say that the thought of her kissing another girl wasn't exciting. But I would also be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about this. I wanted Bella to feel safe in anything we do but she also seems to get pressure and undergo teasing from some of our friends.
Bella crossed the room and was on the other side of the couch in a matter of seconds before sitting down next to Alice. Bella reached her hand to grab the side of Alice's face. Her palm slid to her cheek as she pulled her face forward. Both of their heads turned slightly as their lips slowly met. Their kiss was slow but hot. I could see Bella's lips gliding gently against Alice's until Alice placed a hand on the back of Bella's neck to add pressure between their lips.
I swallowed thickly at the sight of Bella, this situation did nothing to decrease how bad I wanted her body next to mine. The only weird part was my cousin being involved. I let out a shaky breath when their lips finally separated. Both Rosalie and Jasper let out a wolf whistle as they started clapping.
Emmett wore the same expression as me. I knew he thought it was hot but I also knew that he was disgusted that he made our cousin be the other half of this situation. Putting those thoughts aside, I discreetly pulled the decorative pillow out from under my arm and slid it into my lap. Not only was I hugging it but I was also using it to hide my semi-hard erection. This would not be the place to have someone notice me.
Bella stood up and swiped her thumb over her bottom lip as she made eye contact with me. The image was going to be permanently ingrained into my mind. I groaned internally as she sat down next to me and snuggled into my side.
"She tastes like watermelons." Bella whispered softly into my ear as I stared ahead. My control would be completely lost if I looked down at her. "Don't worry, you taste sweeter." She kissed my cheek with a giggle before returning her attention to the game.
My resolve was completely lost as I pulled her deeper into my side. "You're going to be the death of me." I whispered into her hair as I inhaled her scent deeply. I kissed the side of her head which caused her to chuckle again.
"Nice pillow." She whispered back.

I gave myself a little pep talk as I closed the distance between Alice and I. I'm not worried about kissing Alice, afterall I've already kissed Rosalie. I know that both Jasper and Emmett found it hot when their girlfriends/wives were kissing other girls but how would Edward feel?
I sat next to Alice and angled my body towards her. I was nervous and my palms were sweaty. I wiped my hands off on my legs to help alleviate the clamminess before I reached for Alice's face. I grabbed the side of her head before sliding my hand to her cheek. It helped that she looked as nervous as I did. My head tilted slightly as I leaned forward, it made it easier that she was going along with it and turned her head as well. Her lips were soft and she tasted like watermelon. I smiled into the kiss and her lips glided smoothly over mine.
Alice was tiny. Kissing her was nothing like kissing Rosalie. Rosalie had been dominating but Alice was matching pace with me. She reached her hand behind my head and grabbed the base of my skull to pull my lips closer to hers. The pressure of our kiss was nice but I'd prefer to be kissing Edward. Compared to Alice, his lips were a little rougher but they were also dominating. His lips always set my entire body on fire.
We pulled our lips apart and received cheers from Rosalie and Jasper. Rose let out a wolf whistle and expressed her appreciation for the show. My focus was trained on Edward. I wiped my thumb across my bottom lip which gave me the pleasure of watching his Adam's apple bob.
I made a mental note about the pillow that is now magically in his lap. I snuggled into his side but noticed that he was avoiding my eyes. His eyes were staring straight ahead and his cheeks were tinged pink.
I reached up some so that I could talk into Edward's ear. "She tastes like watermelon." I rubbed my hand up and down his arm. "But don't worry, you taste sweeter." I kissed his cheeks and let out a small laugh. I knew he was affected by what he just watched.
"Jasper, truth or dare?" I asked Jasper as I turned my attention back to the game.
"Truth."
"How do you feel about what just happened?" I raised an eyebrow at him even though I knew what his answer was going to be since he moved to sit closer to Alice.
"You're going to be the death of me." Edward whispered to me before kissing the side of my head.
"Nice pillow." I teased while focussing on what Jasper was saying.
"Not even gonna try to lie. It was hot but I'm very partial to things when Alice is involved." He leaned in and gave Alice a quick kiss while staring at her with admiration.
The attention was drawn to Edward as he stood up. "I'm going to shower. Y'all are welcome to shower now or later. We have three mattresses set up down here but you're also free to sleep in the guest rooms if you prefer." Edward addressed the room.
"That's a good idea." Rosalie agreed. "We should all take a moment to shower and get ready for bed but come back down here."
"Yeah, this night is far from over….. But it's pajama time." I smiled as we all collectively stood up.
"Oh yes. Showers, pajamas, and then more alcohol." Alice was nodding profusely as she was leading Jasper out of the basement. I wouldn't be shocked if they were going up stairs for a quickie.
Rosalie and Emmett also made their way out of the basement which left Edward and I alone.
"Didn't mean to break up the game but I know that you like to shower before it's late." Edward murmured as he grabbed my hand.
"I appreciate it. Don't worry about breaking up the game. It's already nine thirty and it's probably time that we moved onto something else. Especially after that last one. Jasper was having an issue keeping his hands off Alice." I pulled Edward's hand and led him upstairs to our room.
"Are we going to talk about tonight?" Edward asked as he grabbed pajamas. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched his movements.
"Depends on what you want to talk about. Some conversations should probably wait until they leave. We can talk about how you felt when I kissed Alice." I was prodding to get into his head. I wished that I could read his thoughts and know how he felt.
He pursed his lips as he turned to look at me. "Or not, it's okay." I mumbled as I looked away shyly.
Edward crossed the room to me. "We can talk about it. What do you want to know?" He was standing directly in front of me but I could only stare at his chest out of embarrassment. Why did you have to prod. He doesn't have feelings for you or about you kissing Alice. You're trying to create something that's not there. His affection comes from those stupid cards.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. You should shower." I trained my eyes into the floor and begged for it to open up and swallow me.
"It's not nothing." He lifted my chin with a finger. "Let's talk about it. Do I wish that it wasn't my cousin? Yes. Do you know why I wish it wasn't Alice?"
I tried to look away but he kept a hold on my chin. I slowly shook my head no but didn't speak.
"I wish it wasn't Alice because I found it hot. It was so fucking sexy to watch you kiss another girl. The only thing I could think about was how much I wanted to kiss you." My eyes widened at his words. "I wanted to pull you away from her for my own selfish benefits." He brought his face closer to me to a point of being dangerously close. "But I think you know this."
"What makes you say that?" I swallowed thickly but not out of nerves. Does he want me?
He chuckled slightly but leaned in slightly closer to the point of our noses touching. "Don't act like you didn't comment on the pillow." He quickly hooked his hands under my thighs and pulled my body closer to him. He was painfully close. His body was barely an inch away from mine. "I've wanted you since the first day I saw you."
"Tell me." My voice was barely about a whisper. "Show me."
He grasped my hand and placed it onto his erection. "Watching you kiss Alice was something else. But worse of all, watching you wipe that pretty little thumb across your pretty little lips, gave me all these fantasies about you being on your knees. I wanted to pull you away and ravish you with kisses." I chuckled on the inside over his choice of wording. Ravish?
I gasped at his words and his actions. I stared down at my hand that he was still holding against his erection. My fingers acted on their own accord as the applied pressure. Edward groaned and dropped his hand from mine. His head dropped down and captured his lips in mine. I groaned into his lips and opened my mouth for his tongue to slide in.
He tasted like a mix of bear and berries. I kept one hand on him and fisted the other into his hair. His hands stayed firmly at my hips and never ventured elsewhere, much to my dismay.
"Bella." Edward's voice was barely above a whisper. My hand was gently rubbing up and down his erection. "We need to stop. We have guests in this house and we need to shower before they wonder what we are doing."
I pouted at his words but I knew he was right. I flopped backwards onto the bed. "I know." Edward chuckled at my grumbled words.
He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss to the forehead before walking into the bathroom. "I meant it when I said that kissing you is better than kissing Alice." I smiled to myself when I heard his steps falter slightly.
"I would hope so. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." I couldn't stop the warmth that spread across me after hearing his words. "So…. you put a finger down for sending nudes. Who did you send them to?"
I raised up onto my elbows and started in the direction of the bathroom. "I put a finger down to talking nudes not sending them. It was a two part question. I've never sent them to anyone…. It was only something done for my own benefit." I wasn't sure what he thought my response was going to be but I was hoping he wasn't disappointed. "I noticed that you didn't put a finger down. Do you mean to tell me that you've never taken a nude or semi nude photo?"
"Nope. Never." He popped the p. "I've never had a desire to."
"Would you?" I bite my lower lip while waiting for his answer. My nerves began increasing.
"What?"
"Would you ever take photos…. Of….. your…"
"Bella. Are you asking me if I would consider taking nude photos of myself or are you asking If I would send them to you?" It was the perfect moment for me to start choking on my spit. My courage had worn off and my embarrassment levels were high.
"I think that I'm tipsy and you shouldn't listen to what I'm saying." He didn't respond right away. Instead, I was left to sit in my thoughts while listening to the sound of running water.
What are you doing? What are these questions about? This is why we shouldn't drink, we say stupid things and ask stupid questions that are going to drive Edward away.
But think about it Bella…. He might take pictures… for you….. Things that only you would see…. like a keepsake.
Bella, get your mind out of the gutter. What is wrong with you lately?
"Bella?" Edward called out to me as he shut the water off. My lack of answer caused Edward to call out for me again. "Bella?"
"Yes?"
"You never answered my question."
"I didn't?" I feigned innocence. I rolled onto my stomach and shoved my face into a pillow.
"Mmm. No, you didn't." His voice grew increasingly closer.
"Well you didn't answer mine." I mumbled into the pillow.
"I guess I didn't." I flinched when he spoke into my ear. "How wrong of me to answer a question with a question." He kissed the side of my head before taking a step back. This gave me a chance to raise my head and eye him.
I groaned inwardly before shoving my face back into the pillow. Edward was standing in front me with only his pajama pants on. His hair was still damp with water dripping slowly onto his shoulders.
"So… answer it." I took another peek out the corner of my eye before squeezing them shut.
"I'll answer, but maybe I want you to look at me. It's no fun to have a conversation with someone shoving their face into a pillow. Sit up and we can finish this conversation."
"I can't sit up until you put a shirt on."
"And why is that?" I could hear the humor in his voice.
"Because I can't focus when you look like that." Because I want to lick the water off of your chest.
"Fine. I'll put a shirt on but I'm serious about wanting you to sit up. As cute as your ass is, I prefer talking to your face."
I slowly raised my body to stare at him. "So you think my ass is cute?" My words came out with a hiccup. Still tipsy.
"Mmm. I do. Yes, I'd be willing to take photos of myself if that's something that you want. Of course… it would be an even exchange." Edward winked at me as he slid his shirt over his head. "Maybe I'll take photos of myself with you in them." My breath caught in my throat for a second. Edward smirked at my reaction while running a hand through his damp hair.
"With me in them?" My voice was barely above a squeak.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." He chuckled before kissing the top of my head and heading back into the bathroom. "Correct me if I'm wrong but it's now your turn to answer the question. Bella, do you want that?"
"Yes. No. I don't know." The words tumbled out of my mouth like word vomit. "Ignore me, I'm not sober." I hiccuped again.
I could hear Edward laughing at me. "You may not be sober but you're not drunk. I like this tipsiness. It makes you truthful." Edward reentered the bedroom and made his way over to me.
Edward reached his hands out and pulled me off the bed. "Go shower love, we can talk more tomorrow. You never need to be embarrassed when you're talking to me. No matter how cute your blush is, I want you to express your wants and desires to me." Edward gently kissed my lips before nudging me into the bathroom.
…MMHW…

Bella was so cute when she started rambling, something that seemed to be amplified by the alcohol in her system.
I had to hold back my surprise when Bella started asking questions…... boldly. "I noticed that you didn't put a finger down. Do you mean to tell me that you've never taken a nude or semi nude photo?"
I shook my head as I answered. "Nope. Never." I knew that she couldn't see me but I shrugged at her questions. "I've never had a desire to."
"Would you?" Although I knew what she was asking, I needed to hear her say it.
"What?" I questioned her with a smile.
"Would you ever take photos…. of….. your…" The nerves started creeping back into her voice. Her sentence was fumbled together but her point was extremely clear.
"Bella. Are you asking me if I would consider taking nude photos of myself or are you asking If I would send them to you?" It was a small victory to hear her start coughing. I could only imagine the blush that was surly spreading across her body.
I've watched her long enough to know that her face is the first thing to turn red. The color shows across her nose and cheeks and depending on the severity, it starts to spread to the rest of her face. Her ears turn pink and her neck joins the discoloration. In times that she's extremely embarrassed and probably mortified, the blush spreads across her chest.
I would do anything to see just how far that blush would go.
"I think that I'm tipsy and you shouldn't listen to what I'm saying." I chuckled to myself as she let out an exasperated sigh.
"Bella?" I shut the water off as I called out to her. She seemed awfully quiet after her declaration of being tipsy. "Bella?" I called for her again when there was no answer. Did she leave the room? Surely I would have heard the door. Did I push her too far by prodding?
"Yes?" My thoughts were put to ease at the sound of her voice.
"You never answered my question."
"I didn't?" She was avoiding my question and procrastinating her answer.
"Mmm. No, you didn't." I slid on my pajama bottoms and headed into the bedroom.
"Well you didn't answer mine." She was lying face down on the bed with her face shoved into a pillow. Her words were a straight mumble into the pillow.
I took a moment to take in the sight. She looked so small compared to the bed. Her left knee was scrunched up towards her side and she laid on her stomach. Her arms were bent and slid under the pillow that she was talking into.
"I guess I didn't." I leaned over and spoke quietly in her ear. It made me smile internally as she flinched at my proximity. "How wrong of me to answer a question with a question." I inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. I kissed the side of her head before taking a step away from her.
She lifted her head slightly so she could look at me before she grumbled and shoved her face back into
"So… answer it." She was mumbling into the pillow again.
"I'll answer, but maybe I want you to look at me. It's no fun to have a conversation with someone shoving their face into a pillow. Sit up and we can finish this conversation." I wanted to look at her face so that I could read her feelings while we talked. You also want her to sit up so that you can stop staring at her ass.
"I can't sit up until you put a shirt on." I nodded at her request for me to find a shirt.
"And why is that?" I couldn't help but tease her slightly as I grabbed a plain black tee to put on.
"Because I can't focus when you look like that."
"Fine. I'll put a shirt on but I'm serious about wanting you to sit up. As cute as your ass is, I prefer talking to your face." I slid my arms into the shirt but paused before I slid it over my head. Bella had started to sit up but her movements seemed reluctant as she moved ever so slowly.
"So you think my ass is cute?" Her words were followed by the cutest little hiccup. Damn Edward, watch your words before you say them.
"Mmm. I do." No reason to lie to her, especially if we are building our relationship on honesty. "Yes, I'd be willing to take photos of myself if that's something that you want. Of course… it would be an even exchange." I couldn't help but wink at her before I slid the shirt over my head. "Maybe I'll take photos of myself with you in them." Her breath caught in her throat and she stared at me in shock.
Her voice was quiet and shaky. "With me in them?" Her question was followed by another hiccup. Her face revealed that her brain was working in overdrive while processing what I said.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." I chuckled slowly to myself before I kissed the top of her head. I made my way into the bathroom but called over my shoulder to her, "Correct me if I'm wrong but it's now your turn to answer the question. Bella, do you want that?"
"Yes. No. I don't know." Bella rushed her words out as if she was trying to say things as her brain processed them. "Ignore me, I'm not sober." I laughed at her second declaration of being intoxicated.
"You may not be sober but you're not drunk. I like this tipsiness. It makes you truthful."
I pulled Bella off the bed and urged her to the shower so that we could meet up with our friends. I didn't want to be gone so long that Emmett started getting funny ideas.

It felt nice to be freshly showered as everyone reentered the basement. Rosalie had been the first one back and had already staked claim on one of the air mattresses. She was scrolling through her phone but let out an exasperated sigh when she saw me.
"Finally. I thought I was going to be alone forever." She joked as I took the mattress next to her.
Edward was upstairs grabbing everyone some water and turning off the outside lights for the night.
"Where is everyone else?" I questioned.
"Emmett's in the shower." She rolled her eyes but never looked up from her phone. "I wouldn't let him shower with me and now he's taking forever. I haven't seen Alice or Jasper but I feel like they should be down here soon." She finally clicked off her phone and looked up at me. "I can only guess what's taking them so long."
"Not going to think about that." I laughed slightly but still crinkled my nose at the idea.
I crawled under the covers and let out a yawn. "You can't be tired already!" Emmett called out as he entered the room.
"I'm not tired, it's just a yawn." I mumbled as I tried to shake the tiredness away. Emmett walked to his and Rosalie's mattress before plopping down.
"Emmett!" Rosalie yelled as her body was thrown onto the floor by his movements.
"Sorry Babe." He had the decency to look a little sheepish before helping her back onto the air mattress. He pulled her into his side and kissed the side of her head. Rosalie must have been hit with the same tiredness that I was feeling since she closed her eyes and rested her head on Emmett's shoulder.
It's okay, rest your eyes. You will feel better. Everyone should be down here soon then we can resume the games. Close your eyes, you won't fall asleep.
Sunday
I flinched awake and took in my surroundings. Edward was face down with his arm draped over my stomach. The room was dark and my eyes took a moment to adjust. Everyone seemed to be sleeping peacefully. I shuffled my arm around on the floor next to me until I found my phone. I squinted at my phone's brightness. My eyes widened at the time. It was seven thirty in the morning.
I fell asleep. You shouldn't have closed your eyes. You missed everything. I was sad about missing everything that happened after I fell asleep but I was also beating myself up for allowing myself to fall asleep.
"Go back to sleep." Edward mumbled into his pillow.
"I'm not tired anymore. Did I really sleep through everything?" I pouted and stuck my lower lip out. Edward let out a sigh before turning rolling onto his side to face me.
"I promise that you didn't miss much." He pulled me closer to his body. "I'll tell you everything you want to know when they leave." He kissed the side of my head in reassurance
…..
I relaxed against the couch and let out a sigh of relief. I enjoyed the weekend but I was also glad for our house to be empty again. Edward sat down beside me and let out a sigh similar to mine.
"That was fun but I'm tired." Edward chuckled and rubbed my knee.
"I was thinking the same thing." I rolled my head to look at him but kept it resting on the back of the couch. "Will you tell me about last night? I didn't mean to fall asleep."
"You didn't miss much, truly. Both you and Rosalie were asleep when everyone regrouped down stairs. We were able to wake Rose but you were out of it. I tried tapping you, shaking you, and calling your name but you were dead to the world. We didn't want you too to miss anything so we quit with the games. We didn't do anything but talk. Mostly about work and life. You didn't miss anything."
"Promise?" I held my pink out to him.
"Pink promise. I have no reason to lie to you." He interlocked his finger with mine and shook.
"Good. Was it really that hard to wake up?"
"Yes. There was no way that you were waking up. If by some miracle I had done so, you wouldn't have been happy."
I nodded as I thought about his words. "Do you want to talk about other things that were discussed last night?"
"Like what?" Edward mused.
"We can start with you claim to have period sex. What was that about? Do you enjoy that?" My mouth was moving faster than my brain as my thoughts were getting jumbled together.
"Breath Bella. It's not as serious as you think. One of my past girlfriends had some serious cramps. She believed that sex alliviated the pain; some studies would even support that idea. I didn't mind having period sex since blood has never grossed me out. I was will to do anything that made her more comfortable. I'm not going to force you into anything especially not like that. If you want to have sex while on your period…. Then we can do that but it's always up to you."
"How did you prevent blood from getting all over you?" I wasn't interested in having period sex but I couldn't stop myself from asking. I lifted my head to look at him straight on.
"I wore a condom if we had sex in bed or we had sex in the shower."
"Interesting…. I'm not sure that it's something I want to do."
"That's completely fine. Bella, we will never do anything that makes you uncomfortable. It's only enjoyable if you're enjoying it." Edward grabbed my hand and laced our fingers.
"Is it something that you did often or enjoyed?"
He thought about it for a moment before responding. "I wouldn't say we did it often, only a handful of times. I can't say if I liked it one way or the other. It was sex, I'd be lying if I said I don't like sex. I wasn't bothered by the period sex but I also didn't fantasize about it."
My ears perked at what he was saying. "Do...Do you fantasize… about sex?" My nerves came from nowhere but I was now stumbling over my words.
"Bella." He gave me a pointed look. "Do you really want to ask that? I think you know the answer to it."
"Answer the question." My cheeks felt hot as I prodded him. "Do you fantasize about things and…. touch yourself?" I swallowed hard over my words. I don't know where the sudden courage was coming from but I liked it. I wanted to know everything about Edward, even down to the last dirty detail.
"I wouldn't call it fantasizing but yes. I do think of things, look at things, watch things as I touch myself." His eyes were searching my face as the redness set in across my cheeks. "What do you think about that? How does it make you feel?" He chuckled lightly as a choking noise formed in my throat. "We already know that you were touching yourself not that long ago….. What were you thinking about? Fantasising about?" He was teasing me at this point. But I liked it.
My whole body was on fire over his words. "Do you really want to know?" I bite my lower lip.
"Yes. " He leaned in closer to me and spoke in a whisper. "Tell me what you're picturing as those lovely fingers disappear below your waistband." His words left me breathless but my whole body felt alive.
"You." My voice was barely audible but I knew he heard me.
His fingers dropped my hand and made their way to my face. He gently cupped my cheek as he pulled my face into a hungry kiss. His lips dominated mine but I was perfectly okay with that. My hands reached up and entangled themselves with his hair. I moved my body to straddle his. I placed a knee on either side of his thighs but didn't provide any contact with our pelvic region.
My body was begging for me to grind down on him, to relieve the burn he was creating but I enjoyed my current position. By sitting on my knees, I was towering over Edward and his neck was thrown back to meet the angle of our kiss. His lips tried to overtake mine but our position gave me leverage. I pulled back slightly and moved my thumb to run along his bottom lip.
"Tell me. What are you thinking about?" I peppered light kisses to the ball of his cheek as they blushed ever so slightly.
"You. It's always you." He pushed his neck further to kiss my lips but fell back slightly frustrated as I stayed out of reach. His hands moved to my hips as he started talking. "I would picture how soft your skin is." His hands slipped under the hem of my shirt but didn't continue to move upwards. "How nice your ass felt in my hands." He ran his fingers down my back before palming my ass.
"Nice?" I chuckled.
"Yes." His words were breathless. "How soft but firm. How it's perfect for my hands and how you always gasp when I give it a squeeze." As if on cue, he squeezed me which caused a moan to leave my lips. How can he already know your body so well? His hands urged me to sit until I was completely straddling him. Despite the fact that I was sitting on top of his very prominent erection, I did everything in my power to not grind down on him.
"I would think about your pouty lips and how soft they are to kiss them. The look of your beautiful eyes. Then when it's really good." His words paused and left me feeling on edge.
"Yes." I urged him to continue as I scratched my nails gently down the side of his face.
"I think about how you looked in that swimsuit…. I imagine what was hidden underneath it." I couldn't resist anymore as I slammed my lips to his. "Then I think about all the things I want to do to you." He pulled his lips away from my slightly to get his words out.
I groaned against his mouth and rolled my hips into his erection. I wanted him, needed him to touch me. My body was on fire and his hands were only making it worse. His fingers kneaded my ass as I ground into him again. It was his turn to give a breathless moan. His lips parted slightly and I happily slipped my tongue into his mouth.
I kept one hand tangled in his heart to pull for leverage as the other hand slipped down his chest and scratched his abbs along the way. My hand made its way to the hem of his shirt. I pulled back slightly so that I couldn't see his eyes. He understood what I wanted.
His muscles tightened as I watched him pull his own shirt over his head. "So hot." The words tumbled out my mouth as I stared at Edward's chest. I crashed my lips into his and rolled my hips against his. Edward moaned against my mouth and used his hands to guide my hips movements.
I growled out loud when Edward's phone started ringing. He pulled his mouth away from mine and grabbed his phone from beside us.
"Ignore it." I kissed down the side of his neck.
"I can't, it's Esme."
I groaned but rolled out of his lap. I rubbed my hands across my face as Edward walked away to answer the phone. It gave me a chance to catch my breath while still pouting over loss of contact.
Monday
"How was your weekend?" Angela greeted me as she passed me a cup of coffee.
"It wasn't half bad but it was definitely busy. The best part was probably this morning. Edward left before I did but there were flowers waiting on the counter for me. A huge bouquet of roses." I smiled fondly as I thought about this morning. "He even left a sweet card and some chocolate."
"That's so sweet!"
"I know! I don't even know what prompted it." I shrugged even though I knew deep down that it was probably one of his romacance cards. "Enough about me, how was your vacation?"
"It was so lovely. The beach was beautiful and the margaritas were even better. That vacation was long overdue. I think Ben even enjoyed himself despite how much he claims to hate the beach. 'It's too sandy'." Angela used her fingers to air quote Ben. She wasn't wrong, anyone who knows Ben knows how adverse he is to sand.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it but I'm also glad you're back. Work isn't the same without you."
"I'm glad to hear that. Did I miss anything exciting while I was gone?" She raised her eyebrows at me.
"Not that I can think of. Everything has been pretty calm and there's been no outburst. I think Edward may have requested to have Jessica removed as his nurse."
"I don't blame him. If she was being that persistent with Ben, I'd want him to file a harassment claim."
"I thought about that but it's up to Edward." I sighed. "I find the girls irritating but they don't really bother me. If they make Edward that uncomfortable, I'd hope that he goes to HR. But I think that they are just embarrassing themselves right now."
"If you think that they should be embarrassed now, just wait until they find out he's married. That would be truly mortifying. Especially when they realise they were trying to fight his wife for his attention when you already have it."
"Do you think I have his attention?"
"Bella, that man in over the moon about you." Angela's eyes softened as she spoke. "I've seen the way he looks at you, even before I knew that something was going on between you too. He can't keep his eyes off of you. When you walk into a room, you're the only thing that he focuses on. Which was a little weird at first but it makes sense since y'all are married.
…
"Mrs. Riley, how are you feeling today?" I greeted her as I walked into her room.
"Like I'm ready for this damn baby to come out." She gritted her teeth as she rubbed her stomach. "I'm five days overdue and have already been in labor for three hours!" She cried out. "I'm so ready for this to be over…. I just want my baby." She was rubbing her stomach while trying to ease the discomfort.
"I'm sorry, I know how difficult this must be. I'm just here to check on the vitals of you and the baby. The doctor should be in soon to see how far you've progressed."
I've seen Mrs. Riley around the hospital ever since she found out she was pregnant. She's had multiple appointments due to her high risk pregnancy. She was forty-five and having her one and only baby alone. She's told me that she never planned to have a child but she's grateful to have the chance now.
I was charting notes about her vitals when she suddenly grabbed my hand.
"That's a gorgeous ring! Are you married, Mrs. Swan?" I smiled at her. The ring was stunning, I loved everything about it. The design was like a twisted halo diamond with a white gold band. It wasn't exactly modest but it definitely wasn't flashy. I love it.
"Yes, Ma'am. My name has actually changed to Mrs. Cullen but I don't use that here. It would be too confusing." I chucked a little to myself. "Did you know that you're actually the first person to notice the ring besides my family. I've been married for a month and no one has said a thing…..but that is a good thing. Let's keep it a secret between us." I winked at her as I fake whispered.
"Cullen you say? No correlation to Doctor Cullen, my OB?" She raised her eyebrows at me but still kept her eyes trained on my ring.
"She's actually my sister in law. Or something like that. She's my husband's cousin's wife." I smiled at her but was grateful when she let my hand go.
"I see. And why are we keeping this a secret? Does your husband work in this hospital?"
The slight pinkining of my cheeks must have given me away.
"He does!" Mrs. Riley exclaimed. "Now I see, three Cullens in one hospital would be pretty confusing." She smiled through a grimace that formed on her face as she went back to rubbing her stomach. Her discomfort was quite clear. Her entire pregnancy had been both rough and painful.
"Want to hear something crazier. It would be four members of the same family. My husband's other cousin also works heer but she has a different last name."
"Oh my, a family of medical staff. Keep your last name girly. You're secret's safe with me." I chuckled as I left her room. Mrs. Riley has always been a delight to be around.
...MMHW…
I was on my lunch break when I received a text from Edward. My smile faltered as I read his message.
What color is your underwear?- E
I stared at the message while trying to process what he meant. I knew that the question was straight forward but why would he ask me that?
What?- B
His next message was a photo of a card that was obviously from his deck.
Send an unexpected message.
He definitely lived up to the card's suggestion. I wasn't sure how to respond to his question, even after knowing that it was prompted by a card.
I made my way to the family bathroom which would provide me with a private stall. I locked the door before staring at myself in the mirror. I didn't take my pants off but I definitely lowered them enough to see part of my hip and panties. I lifted my shirt but only enough to see part of my bra.
I made sure my face wasn't in the photo before I sent it. The dark blue bra and panty set made my complexion even pailer in the mirror. I could only be thankful that my underwear matches today. There's many days that I end up in a sports bra and some granny panties.
I don't know. What color do you think they are? -B I wish that I could see Edward's face when he receives my message.
...MMHW…
I changed into a swimsuit and grabbed a towel to lay out by the pool. My bikini wasn't practical for swimming since it seemed to barely cover anything. My ass was falling out and the smallest triangles were meant to cover my boobs. There wasn't any padding or support offered. If I was planning to do anything besides tan, this would not have been the chosen garment. I have no doubt that it was given to me by Alice. This swimsuit had been shoved to the back of the drawer and ignored.
There were ties behind my neck and back which would provide me with the smallest tan lines possible. I was planning to lay in the sun since the mirror selfie made me realize just how pale I am.
EPOV
I didn't know how Bella was going to respond to my question today, but I didn't think that it was going to be with a picture. I spit out my water when it came through to my phone. I had to lock my screen as my choking fit progressed.
I just happened to be sitting in the doctor's lounge during this. Dr. Denali took this as an opportunity to pat me on the back. Her movements were too slow and soft to actually help me cough up anything if I was choking. I avoided her questions as she asked me about who was messaging me and what had me in this coughing fit.
The only thing I was excited for now was the chance to come home to Bella. I called out into the empty house when I arrived but was met with no response. I knew that she had to be somewhere since her car was in the garage and her purse was on the kitchen table.
I finally found her when I took a step outside, She was stretched out on a towel next to the pool. She didn't seem to notice that I was home so I made my way back inside. I quickly changed into a swimsuit before returning to the pool side.
As I got closer to her, I noticed that there were only thin tying straps across her back and her ass wasn't completely covered. I quietly sat down in one of the lawn chairs but continued to stare at her peaceful form.
She was face down but had her head tilted towards the pool. Her arms were bent under her head to support her neck. Her legs were completely straight but her ankles had rolled outwards.
"Did you have a good day at work?" My voice made her jump as she straightened her body. She turned to face me but her eyes glared.
"You almost gave me a heart attack! What would happen if you made me fall into the pool?" She gave me a pointed look but stood up and brushed the nonexistent dirt off of herself.
My eyes immediately went to her barely covered breasts. I flashed my eyes away from her as I tried to focus on her face. Bella picked up the towel from the ground and shook it as well.
"Yes, I had a good day at work. Did you?" She smiled sweetly as she walked towards me.
"It wasn't bad. I got this devious little text from this girl I know. She had me choking on all of my water."
"Oh no. That must have been terrible." Bella straddled my upper legs and set the towel down besides us on the ground.
"I wouldn't say terrible, just unexpected." I chuckled before leaning up to kiss her lips.
"Where do you normally eat lunch? Maybe we can start eating together." She smiled again as she pecked my lips. Bella placed a hand on my chest as she leaned forward and kissed my lips one more time before sitting up.
"I've been eating in the doctor's lounge since it's normally quiet. But Dr. Denali has found my hiding place and wants to talk non-stop during lunch." Her nose had the cutest scrunch when I mentioned Tanya. "I take it you don't like her." I tapped the tip of Bella's nose.
"She's just not my cup of tea. She's friends with Jessica and Lauren….. The ones who really want to get in your pants. I've told you that they want me to 'back off'." Bella used finger quotations around back off.
"Well, I have no intentions of being friends with them, dating them, or sleeping with any of them. You have nothing to be worried about. Nor do I want you to back off." I placed both of my hands on either side of her hips and squeezed lightly.
"I'm not worried. After all, it's my bed that you're sleeping in every night. I'm the one who's married to you."
"I wouldn't want it any other way. " I smiled.
"I'd hope not. By the way, I got a compliment on my ring today."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it was one of my patients. I'm actually surprised that no one else has said anything. They either haven't noticed or don't care. I truly thought someone would have said something by now."
"I think we work with unobservant people, to be honest."
"You're probably right." She agreed with me.
"Back to the question you asked earlier, I would love to eat lunch with you. Where do you normally eat." My hand snaked up her back as I started to rub small circles.
"At the nurses station or in the cafe. But I'm also partial to eating in my car. We can do that in order to have privacy."
"I'd love that!" I responded as I reached up to meet her lips. Her lips were soft and gentle against mine. "Tell me about the patient that noticed your ring." I asked when I pulled away from her.
"She complimented it. We also talked a little bit about how I work in the same hospital as my husband and two of my husband's cousins." Her nails scratched gently against my chest.
My eyebrows raised in surprise. "You told a patient that you work with your husband?"
"Yeah, Mrs. Riley. I've seen her almost weekly for the past eight months and she's always someone who's easy going and good to talk with. She pointed out my ring and I told her that I was Mrs. Cullen, which made her draw the connection to Rosalie who's Dr. Cullen." Her words filled me with joy as I listened to her recall the conversation. My fingers toyed with the ties that hung on her back. "Plus, we said that we wouldn't lie. She asked and I answered, there's no need to hide you." Her lips came crashing back down to mine.
I took a chance and pulled the string that was between my fingers. Bella gasped as her hands instinctively moved to catch her top.
"Don't cover up." I breathed against her mouth.
"But." Her voice was shaky and she bit her bottom lip out of nervousness.
"You're beautiful." I murmured. Her lips returned to mine with a sense of urgency. I reached up and pulled the tie that was around her neck which caused her swimsuit top to fall.
I pulled away and stared at her with amazement. "Edward?" Bella questioned as she started turning red.
"So beautiful." I moved her hips forward so she was strangling my erection and brought her mouth back to mine.
My hands made their way up her sides until they reached the side of her boobs. I tested the waters as I moved my thumb over her hardened nipple. A moan erupted from her throat as she rolled her hips over mine. I groaned and slid my tongue into her mouth. I moved my left hand to cup her breast and used my fingers to pinch her right nipple. Bella let out a growl before moving her lips off of mine.
"Edward." She moaned. Her voice was husky and her eyes had darkened. She trailed her fingertips down towards the edge of my waistband and toyed with the drawstring. Her delicate fingers pulled on the ties until the knot fell out. She tilted her head to look at me, almost as if asking for permission.
"Please." My voice was barely above a whisper.
Her fingers were just about to dip below the waist band when my mothers voice rang out through the yard.
"Edward? Edward, honey, are you back here?" Her voice was getting increasingly close as she walked towards our back gate.
"Shit." Bella cursed as she scrambled to grab a towel and cover herself. Bella grabbed her discarded beach towel and wrapped it around herself in order to cover her exposed skin. "Why is she here?" A blush started spreading across her body as she stood up from my lap. I could see the embarrassment in Bella's face.
"I don't know." I answered her right before Elizabeth walked through the back gate.
Bella walked back towards the house while shaking her head.
Dammit I'm going to be in the doghouse now. Why the hell is Elizabth here, especially without calling or texting.
