THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING GUYS! I APPRECIATE THE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! :D
SPEAKING OF REVIEWS, ONE OF YOU GOT 25% OF THIS STORY FIGURED OUT AND DAMN YOU FOR THAT! LOL. JUST KIDDING.
Did I not say that there will be lies, deceit, secrets and twist and turns around every corner? I also remember mentioning that deception would become commonplace. If you can't handle that then this isn't the story for you. :P
Yes, the brands and prices mentioned in this story are real and accurate.
Q&A time! :D
Q: Will Jasper put out a hit on Rosalie?
A: Who knows, Emmett would be pissed though and I do love the drama.
Q: What happened in the two-hour gap?
A: You're about to find out in this chapter! :D
Q: Is the new security guard protecting Alice by Jasper's request or Bella by Edward's request?
A: He's there by Jasper's request, no doubt he tells Jasper everything he sees Alice do. Jasper put him there so of course he won't report to Rosalie or anyone else that Alice has been seeing Jasper. Edward didn't send him. Surprisingly Edward doesn't even know the location of the house.
Q: Does Bella know that Alice has been seeing Jasper and is Alice only using him for information?
A: Bella doesn't know. Alice does love him but she wants information too.
Q: Where's Edward's Dad?
A: Deceased.
Previously...
I headed for the house and knew Jasper was watching me from the shadows. He always waited until I got safely inside. What we're doing feels so sinful yet so right at the same time.
When I got to the gate our new security guard Dave let me. I mentioned to Jasper funny how one of the security guards didn't show up one day and they had to replace him. I knew the new guy was on Jasper's payroll.
I prayed Rosalie didn't see me as I looked at her car parked in the driveway.
What's she doing here so late anyway? When I got inside the house I heard yelling.
I hid in the hallway and listened. What the hell is going on between them!?
Now...
"Why all of these questions, don't you believe me!?"
"Bella, I never said I don't believe you!"
"Well that's how you're acting and last time I checked, actions speak louder than words. You didn't have an ounce of doubt before, what's changed now?"
*FLASHBACK*
"Really, you sure believe her side of the story though."
"She was bruised, bleeding and had Masters' DNA inside of her. What was there not to believe?"
"Looking back at it now, didn't it seem too easy? Why rape her and let her leave with his DNA inside of her. If he did don't you think he would have thrown her ass in the tub before allowing her to leave?"
"I don't know, maybe he didn't care. He is 'Edward Masters' after all."
"You're beginning to sound just like Isabella. Stop spending time with her before her craziness rubs off on you. She's somewhere right now probably reading fifty shades of grey with a necktie tied around her eyes."
I couldn't contain my laughter.
"But why put herself through a trial?"
"Money." He stated with a sip of his brandy.
"How do we know Edward isn't the insane one?"
"I beg your pardon?" He asked in a tone as if what I asked was blasphemy.
"Just hear me out. What if Isabella is telling the truth. I mean they did date and she went on a trip with him. The alleged rape didn't occur until after their vacation, on his jet, two days before she was suppose to go home."
"I fail to see where you're going with this."
"What if she was actually the only woman who he couldn't get to open her legs for him and it bruised his ego. After spending so much money on her she was heading home and he was being left empty handed and that's why he probably raped her."
"Baby I'm not one of those simple-minded jurors, I don't buy that. Edward's never been accused of a sexual crime in his life. Besides, he has billions, he's not going to miss any of the money he spent on her."
"After you hounded the police, they went and spoke with Edward early that next day. When he was taken in for examination he didn't have any bite marks on him. In her statement she said he kissed her roughly and she kept trying to turn her head. Not once did she bite his tongue. He didn't have any scratches on his face, neck or chest. Isabella did leave scratches on his back from her ecstasy-filled tryst with him.
"After she bit off his tongue where was she going to go, they were thousands of feet in the air. She was probably afraid he would beat her to death."
"We're not in court, Rose, don't try to sell me on Isabella's lies. I can't think of a valid reason for him to rape that girl. And don't start on that feminist bullshit, if he was craving power and control he could join an exclusive BDSM club, not to mention he's a very powerful man in his everyday life."
*END FLASHBACK*
I pushed Emmett's words out of my mind. "Nothing, I just like to cross my T's and dot my I's. I'm always very thorough in all of my cases. With that said, my office obtained video footage from the store across the street from your previous apartment. You didn't come straight home. You didn't go home until two hours later. Why, Bella?" I asked gently not wanting her to feel like I was hounding her.
She looked away and I saw a tear roll down her cheek.
"That night, right after Ed-Edward did what he did..." Just saying his name sent shivers down my spine. "He made me lie down in his bed next to him. I asked him if I could put on some clothes but he wouldn't let me. I begged him to let me go and told him I wanted to go home. He ignored me of course." I took a deep breath trying to get the words to come out.
"He brutalized me then I was forced to lie there all night with his arm around me, him spooning me like everything was okay and what he did was okay. The only thing I wanted to do was shower then lie in my own bed and cry." I couldn't stop the hot tears from spilling out and quickly wiped at my eyes. I don't want Rosalie to feel sorry for me. I'm so tired of people pitying me.
"He told me that I might as well relax and go to sleep because what's happened has already happened and there's nothing we could do about it. He said no one would believe me so I might as well forget about it and not ruin such a wonderful relationship. I lied awake all night. I was exhausted but sleep still evaded me."
"The next morning he pretended like he didn't just hurt me the night before. He kept trying to make conversation but I wouldn't respond. I could tell he was getting annoyed that I was giving him the cold shoulder but I couldn't help it. The mere sound of his voice made my blood boil. He asked if I wanted one of his doctors to take a look at me and I told him no, I just want to go home. He got some important call so we were going to land and I remember feeling so relieved, Rose."
"Edward said he'd give me some time away from him to relax and clear my head then he would pick me up for dinner later that night. I didn't reply and he tried to kiss me but I turned my head and it pissed him off. He grabbed me by my throat and slammed me back onto the bed and whispered: Since you won't drop the fucking attitude I'm going to show you how little you are and how powerful I am. I won't even make you shower. When we land, I want you to go to the nearest police station or any station for that matter and tell them Edward Masters raped you. See how far it gets you. When you see it leads nowhere and no charges are brought against me-I want you to call me and say, 'yes Mr. Masters, I see things your way and I'd like for you to take me to dinner.'" I repeated what Edward said word for word and the memory alone made me cringe.
"Then he let me go and told me to get dressed. I did and when we landed some man with blonde, curly hair came on the jet. Edward greeted the man and they spoke. I noticed the man was grinning at me. Like he knew what Edward did to me and thought it was funny. I didn't even know him but in that moment I hated him for that and I hate Edward even more for what he did to me." No matter how much I wiped at my tears or tried not to cry the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
I knew Bella wasn't lying yet Jasper kept insisting she looked and seemed fine. "That lying son of a bitch!" As a reflex I immediately covered my mouth. Shit, I hope Bella and Rosalie didn't hear me. I don't want them to find out I'm standing here eavesdropping.
"After that, Edward walked me off the jet to a waiting car. I didn't want him to but he kissed me and told me he'd be waiting for my call about dinner then grinned."
"After he ordered the driver to take me home, I did a lot of thinking on the ride there. My mind was racing, so many thoughts at one time my head hurt. I was confused, unsure and felt so disgusted with myself. And I thought he was right, even if I had the courage to tell, who would believe me? Would he not be charged and everything swept under the rug."
"Even if we went to trial, it would be a high profile case because of who he is. I started thinking Edward is so powerful, he could have someone leak my name to the press. What would they call me in the media. What if Edward paid them to paint me as a liar and gold digger? I didn't want my name on the front page of every newspaper with the word 'allegedly' in front of every lie they would tell about me. I couldn't live with that nor with what he did to me. When I thought about it, it was a fight I wasn't prepared for."
"I felt too embarrassed to tell anyone and I felt so sorry for myself. I felt so violated, like I wasn't a human being and didn't have any rights. And to this day it still feels like he took a part of me I could never get back. And everyone thinks after something like that happens to you that with a lot of therapy you'll be fine and 'back to normal' in a few months. Well I'm not back to normal, he's in my head when I wake up and I see his face almost every night when I close my eyes. It's like he has some kind of connection to me, like a secret door to my soul. I'm so screwed up it's been almost a year and I'm still having nightmares and they feel so real. It's like I have a monster living in my head and I feel like I'm losing my mind. That morning I kept thinking, what if he comes after me. I just, I couldn't live with what Edward did to me. The images of that night kept playing in my head and it became too much. My emotions and mental state were in chaos. Everything would be okay and be better if I were dead. I didn't want to exist anymore or deal with anything. So that morning I took the bus to Moon's Pier to end my life."
I barely noticed the shocked expression on Rosalie's face. My eyes began to burn and sting from crying so much.
"When I got there I don't know why but I just couldn't. I couldn't jump. I was too much of a coward to report what happened to me and I was too much of a coward to end my life. Thank God for Alice, I can't imagine what would have happened if I didn't have such an amazing and true friend like her. She was the one who contacted the police. Yes, I was missing for two hours and now you know why."
"So to answer your questions, yes I went missing for a few hours but it was because I had a little mental breakdown. No, I have never in my life went by any other name. Isabella Adams is the only name I've ever known. And I know people are falsely accused of rape all of the time but why would I lie? If I were lying I would rather falsely accuse any other man-wealthy or not than accuse Edward Masters. I would have to be the biggest fool on the planet to lie on someone like him after witnessing who he reall-" I realized I was about to slip and caught myself.
"After witnessing who he really is? Did you witness him put out a hit on someone or some other crime. We can get him on more charges, please just tell me."
"Are you out of your mind!? I'm not going to give him another reason to want me dead. When I met him I didn't even know who he was. Everyone wants to know why Edward freaking Masters would rape plain ole average Bella when he can have any super model he wants. Well I can't answer that! I don't know, only he knows why he did what he did." My headache had now turned into a migraine.
"When you look at the bigger picture, he was right. You're the prosecutor and suppose to also be my friend but you're standing here accusing me of lying."
"That's not-"
"It is true!" I shouted, practically hoarse. "If you don't believe me, how could I expect the jury or judge to. Edward was right. I shouldn't have went to the police. I'm going to end up with egg on my face." I couldn't stop the flood gates from opening and I shook uncontrollably as I sobbed. Pressure continued to build up in my head as I tried to ignore the pain. Maybe. I sh-shouldn't. Show up to testify and just leave town." I barely got out, my throat hurt and I tried to catch my breath. Maybe I did do something to lead him on and this is my punishment. "No one believes me...except Alice." She's the only one I can truly count on.
I felt arms wrap around me from behind and turned to embrace the person they belonged to.
"Bella, please don't blame yourself. What happened wasn't your fault."
I knew it was Alice, she always comforts me when I need it.
"I thought you weren't coming home tonight." I couldn't hide the surprise in my voice.
"I missed you." She replied as she squeezed me tighter. "Besides, who else is gonna make sure you eat a decent meal?"
"I eat. I just haven't really been hungry lately."
"You haven't really been hungry for almost a year."
"She's not been eating?"
"She'll be fine, Rosalie. I'm not trying to be rude but I think it's best if you leave now."
"I didn't mean to upset her. I'm sorry Bella and I'm very happy you didn't end your life that day." Rosalie turned to me and said. "Please believe it was not my intention to upset you and I do truly believe you, Bella. I didn't know you were still having nightmares. Has your therapist suggested putting you on any medication?"
"She has a few times but I declined. Maybe I should try it."
"Any medication you need will be paid for so don't worry about it. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make you cry."
Rosalie hugged me but I wasn't sure how sincere she was.
"Rosalie, I heard some of your questions as I was coming in and I don't know where you're getting your info from but that person is obviously playing mind games with you. They're trying to get you to doubt Bella so you'd tell the DA to withdraw the charges and all of this would go away but it won't. That bastard isn't going to live free and happy while Bella is living in torment almost everyday."
"I have no intention of having the charges withdrawn. The trial will go on and I plan to dish out a second loss to Armold."
"I don't know if I want to testify anymore."
"Bella, I've already told you that I believe you and the jury will too. Remember what I told you, just be brave."
"It's not just that. This trial has kept me on edge for months and I've been second guessing going through with it for a while. I feel like I can't move past what I'm going through until everything is over. I want to put Edward and what happened out of my head for good. I don't want to go in court and see his face or have to sit there and listen to him tell lies about me. I don't want to tell my story over again and I don't want to be cross-examined by his attorney. I don't want to do any of it anymore."
"Bella believe me, I understand but-"
"No, you don't understand! You're not living what I go through everyday. I just want all of this to be over with."
"Okay. When Edward is found guilty and is rotting in prison everything will be over. No more prepping for court, listening to testimony or testifying." I tried to watch my tone and speak to Bella as gently as I could.
"What if he isn't found guilty? What if I end up with egg on my face? What if he comes after me? There are so many what ifs! I've had months and months to think. Lets say he is found guilty and goes to prison, lets say he even gets a long sentence. Do you think he's going to sit idly by and happily rot in prison while I try to get past this!? The man is a ruthless billionaire with unlimited resources and friends as powerful as he is. If he goes to prison he's going to send someone after me to kill me or make my life hell. Not that I'm not already living in hell now but-"
"That won't happen. I promised you I would keep you safe and I will. Masters doesn't know where you are and he won't ever find out. After this trial is over how about you, Alice and I go on a vacation to Italy, my treat! I'll take leave from work."
I cringed inside at Rosalie's words. Jasper knows where we're staying. He might be lying and covering for Edward but I doubt he'd ever tell Edward where we are. He knows I'd never forgive him if he did.
"How do I know you're pushing to continue with the trial to help me? How do I know you're not doing it just for a shot to beat Mr. Armold a second time and be the first and only person to put Edward Masters away?" You're putting me in jeopardy for a try at improving your resume."
"I know you're upset and not thinking clearly but that was really hurtful, Bella."
"And you accusing me of lying, identity theft and having the nerve to tell me Edward is pining over me isn't hurtful!? It's not just hurtful but insulting!"
"You told her what!? Rosalie, were you drinking before you got here?"
"Of course not."
"So why would you think it's okay to tell Bella such a thing. Edward isn't pining over her, he took what he wanted and tried to get on with his life. Honestly, where or who are you getting this from. You do realize how ludicrous it sounds right. Someone tells you Bella isn't who she is, she's lying and Edward misses her and you believe them? You've been to law school and you had to be top of your class to become an ADA, why did you even for a second believe any of it was true?"
"I don't need to be reminded of my own profession, Alice. The source was reliable and for the last time, I didn't believe it. I just needed to make sure Armold doesn't pull any stunts in court so I asked Bella about it just to make sure everything is clear."
"So who's your source for these ridiculous lies?"
"A longtime friend who works at Armold's firm contacted me. He overheard Armold on the phone with Masters. Armold may have found a link between us and baited my friend with false info to see who the snitch is. I'm not sure." I lied. I feel like a fucking whirlwind of emotions. I don't know what's taking Marcel so fucking long with his investigating, he must be digging up a fucking ancient artifact. Emmett better not have me on a fucking wild goose chase. I feel guilty enough as is for second guessing Bella.
"Okay, but no more stressing Bella out. I know your actions weren't intentional, Rose. Your necklace is exquisite by the way, is it new?"
The guilt in me grew even more when Alice pointed out my necklace from Emmett. "Thanks, It's was my great grandmother's."
Alice turned her attention away from me and back to Bella.
"Bella, if you don't want to testify then I support you, if you do, I support you in that as well. It's totally your call, we've been friends since forever and you know I'll support you in everything you do."
Alice and Rose were both staring at me expectantly. The pain from my migraine was getting worse and I couldn't think.
The room started spinning then everything just went black...
"Bella!"
*FLASHBACK*
"Bella, you have yet another gift from Mr. Handsome and Successful."
"Return it like the others."
"You've been playing hard to get for weeks. Please just give the man a chance."
"What are you talking about, I'm not playing hard to get. I just really don't want to go out with him."
"But whyyyyy!?"
"It's not like I don't find him hot, it's just I know he's no good for me. I don't want to end up falling for him and getting my heart broken."
"Stop overthinking. Just give it a chance and if you find yourself starting to fall I'll be there to catch you before you hit the ground. Then you can severe all ties with him."
I sighed.
"Fine."
"So when are you going to call him?"
"Don't push it."
Edward's POV
"Did he get the message?"
"Yes Sir, if he survives I'm sure the next time he sees the girl he'll run. "
"If he survives?"
"One of my men went a little overboard with a metal rod. The boy is in the hospital on life support, toothless and more than likely brain dead."
"No worries, accidents happen. You're dismissed, Benjamin."
I turned my attention to my cell phone.
"Well well well, what do we have here."
"Masters."
"Hey Edward, it's Bella. I wanted to thank you for all of the gifts and I'm sorry I couldn't accept any. They were lovely but so expensive and I just couldn't."
"I understand."
"Do you always send jewelry to women you barely know?"
"I thought a jewel like yourself would like some smaller ones to match. I'm surprised you called, I take it you're done with this little game of yours?"
"You're a very persistent man."
"I always get what I want."
"We've had this conversation before, sometimes what we want just isn't on the menu."
"Yes we have and I believe I've already stated that as long as I want it, it's on the menu."
"Someone sounds a bit entitled."
"Right now I see a date on the menu, don't you, Isabella?"
"I believe I do Mr. Masters."
"I'll pick you up at nine."
Leaning back in my chair I skimmed through Isabella's file.
Bella's POV
I sighed. "Tell me why am I doing this again, the man is so arrogant. He's hot but so so arrogant."
"Just be quiet and stop complaining Bella. I wish I had a billionaire bachelor to take me out on a date."
"Alice I look like a slut."
"You look perfect!"
"I don't even know where he's taking me."
"Who cares, now sit down so I can apply some coral lipstick."
I sighed and did as I was told. I was wearing a brand new dress Alice had bought me. The dress was black and fitted with very fine straps that went around my neck and cross my back. The v-neck dipped too low and side slit rose too high for liking. The straps barely noticeable and nothing to cover my back. I'm definitely showing more skin than I normally would. Leave it to Alice to buy me a dress that shows boobs, thigh and back.
"Your lipstick and eyeliner look perfect Bella, you look perfect! Everything is just fabulous!" Alice beamed as she stepped back to examine her masterpiece. She knew how I felt about makeup so we compromised on lipstick and eyeliner only.
Just as I was about to complain yet again, the doorbell sounded.
"That's him! Come on, Bella!"
Hmm, Alice is so excited maybe I should send her in my place. I did my best to walk in the skyscraper heels she put me in.
Alice let Edward in and my attraction to him instantly grew. He was dressed to the nine.
"You're a very dapper man, Mr. Masters."
"Yes he is!" Alice agreed with a wide grin on her face. If I didn't know any better I would think she just escaped from a mental asylum.
"Thank you, ladies."
"Mr. Masters it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Alice Blanc. If you have any single friends who are as handsome and prominent as you are, I'm available. Did I mention that your Givenchy suit is to die for?"
"Alice!"
Edward laughed. I found nothing funny about it though.
"We should be getting on our way." He stated.
"Don't rush to bring her home early, she needs a long night out on the town!"
"Alice!"
Could Alice be anymore embarrassing.
"So where are we heading?"
"To a charity ball."
"I assume you get a lot of invites to those kind of functions. What's it like being Mr. Big Shot?"
"It's alright, it does have its cons like everything else. So what made you change your mind?"
"Alice."
"I had an idea. Remind me to send her a lovely gift. Speaking of gifts..."
Edward retrieved a necklace out of his coat pocket. I recognized it as one of the necklaces he sent me that
I sent back. It was an elegant sapphire and diamond necklace. Sapphire and diamonds ranging in different sizes splaying outward and inward as they circled the necklace.
"I already told you I'm uncomfortable accepti-"
"You don't have to keep it, just wear it for tonight and think about it."
"Okay."
"Lift up your hair."
I lifted my hair and faced the window so Edward could fasten the necklace in the back of my neck.
I shivered when I felt Edward's lips on the back of my neck, who knew I had a sensitive spot there. He trailed kisses down the curve my back then back up to my neck and I felt something stirring inside of me. Every spot he kissed on my neck tingled with a chilling sensation. Then he trailed his tongue slowly up my jugular and whispered...
"You taste even more delicious than you did that day in the restaurant."
The feel of his lips was gone then I felt the metal on my skin and Edward started the car. I noticed it was a different car than before.
"Before I forget, this would go well with your necklace."
I stared at the matching sapphire bracelet in his hand and sighed.
"Fine. Anything else Mr. Masters, you wouldn't happen to have a sapphire ring in your pocket as well, would you?"
He grinned and I realized how much more I like him when he's smiling. He always has that serious no-nonsense look on his face. My phone started ringing and I vaguely recognized the number. I have to remember to put it on vibrate before we get wherever it is we're going.
"Hello?"
"Bella, how are you darling?"
"I'm fine thank you and yourself?"
"I'm doing well but I've been rather busy. Mr. Masters told me he had informed you about the staff he hired to repair the center and your service was no longer needed. The work has been completed but I had some family business to attend to out of Country so the center is still closed. I just wanted to let you know that the center will be opening next Monday and your kindness can be used on other things than painting. A bright, cheerful girl like yourself would be such a positive influence on pre-teen and teen minds. If you have time, please stop by anytime you like."
"I'd love to."
"Oh and before I forget, I have some rather terrible news. You remember Nick don't you, well Nick was attacked some hours ago. His Sister called me to ask if I had seen him but I informed her he wasn't scheduled back until next Monday. He was found in an alley badly beaten, he's in a coma so please pray for his recovery. Elizabeth, the others and I will be visiting him tomorrow at noon at MilBay Hospital. Although he's in a coma, he may sense our presence. I've known him since he was a young boy and this is just a tragedy. If you can make it, you're welcomed to come."
"That's awful. I'll definitely be there. Does the police know who did it or why?"
"His Mother told me they're clueless, she's so devastated. Mrs. Carter said the police thinks her son was robbed and beaten with something blunt by some junkie. His wallet was found a few feet away from him and his watch and money had been taken."
"That's so terrible. How could someone do that to another human being?"
"That's the world we live in today my dear. Goodnight and be safe, Bella."
"I will. Goodbye."
"Wow."
"What's wrong?"
Nick was attacked.
"Nick?"
"The guy from Ms. Hall's youth center. Someone beat him into a coma."
"How dreadful."
"I know. I spoke with him this morning, he's so sweet. I hope he pulls through."
"I'll speak with Ms. Hall about contacting his family. I'd like to pay for a specialist for the boy."
"That's very kind of you Edward."
"He's a nice boy, he deserves it."
Upon arriving at our destination I was blown away.
"Wow. It looks like a castle."
"It is a castle."
"I only see these on TV in wedding shows. Brides are always renting them for their perfect wedding"
Edward got out and opened the door for me then the valet drove the fancy car away. When we got to the door Edward wrapped a possessive arm around me.
I could hear soft, graceful music playing as we approached the ballroom. Everything was elegant - the music, the decor and the people. It was like an explosion of gold, ivory and creams.
Waiters were making sure everyone had a drink in one hand and an hors d'oeuvre in the other. Then I noticed twelve waiters on both sides of the room lined up in front of the wall just waiting to be called on. Everyone look impeccably dressed. The men were dashing and the women looked dressed for a real life fairy-tale. I was happy to see that not all of the women were in ballgowns. Some were in mermaid style dresses and others very fitted dress, like a second skin. If Alice were here I bet she could list the designers everyone's wearing.
Most of the women were tall and gorgeous, more than likely models. A lot of them showed a good amount of skin. Suddenly I don't feel so bad or naked anymore yet their obviously confidence made me a little insecure. I've never been to such an elegant ball among the wealthy before.
I took a nervous step back.
"Everyone looks so...perfect." I mentioned unsurely to Edward.
"So do you."
"That's what Alice tried to tell me."
"She told you the truth, you're exquisite. The first time I laid eyes on you at that youth center I wanted you - mind, body and soul." Edward whispered in my ear.
He pulled me away from the entrance of the ballroom and into another room then locked the door. I was now taut against him with his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me closer trying to mold me with him. I could feel his arousal against my lower back.
He began whispering in my ear.
"I know you felt it too when I kissed your hand. There's a connection between us and the more you fight it, the more the feeling will grow. When you wear things like this-" His hand traveled to my thigh and found it's way in my dress, rubbing my inner thigh. His other hand found it's way in my dress cupping my breast. "-It makes it so much more difficult for me to keep my hands off of you."
I felt myself becoming immensely aroused by his voice and touch. He continued to whisper in my ear.
"And I know what my touch does to you. When I touch you your free will is practically nonexistent, you can barely move."
He's right, it's like I'm frozen still as I feel sensations building in my core. I want him to continue yet stop at the same time. My mind and body are on two different pages.
Edward's finger now circling my nipple.
"What would you like me to do, Isabella?" He teased, his voice thick with lust.
He trailed a finger up my inner thigh and I knew directly where it was heading.
"Would you like me to stop or make you cum?"
My eyelids grew heavy and I couldn't decide. I don't want to but I do.
I felt Edward smile against my ear. His finger trailed along my panties then I felt him put it in me and I gasped. I quickly grabbed his wrist.
"I barely know you, Edward."
"It's okay, we're becoming more acquainted with each other right now."
I felt his finger moving in me and my legs became weak.
"If you get any wetter your panties will overflow." Was all he said then the presence of his finger in me was gone. I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding.
Edward brought his hand up to my face and pressed his middle finger against my lips. My mouth opened of its own accord and I was taken aback. This is new and...strange to me.
"I'd like a taste as well."
I moaned when I felt Edward's finger enter me again.
"So warm and tight."
I watched shocked as Edward sucked my wetness off his finger.
"You're even sweeter than I imagined. Virgins are always the sweetest."
His words made me uneasy yet turned me on at the same time.
Edward put his hand in my panties and rubbed my clit while he used his other hand to finger me. I tensed when I felt him put in a second finger and couldn't stop the sounds that escaped me.
"Shh, relax. Just relax, Isabella."
I did what he said and leaned against him.
"That's a good girl."
I found myself pushing down deeper on his fingers. The sensations grew stronger. Just then Edward got down on his knees and his head disappeared under my dress. I felt his mouth on my clit while his fingers continued to move in me. It became too much, I felt myself tighten around his fingers then I unraveled.
My scream was quickly silenced by Edward's hand over my mouth. He was now standing, his body pinning me to the wall. One hand over my mouth and the other still rubbing my clit as I rode out my orgasm. My body writhed violently while my eyes rolled to the back of my head.
When the waves of pleasure stopped I slowly sank down to the floor. Edward knelt down in front of me with a teasing smile on his face as he stared into my eyes while I tried to catch my breath.
"Beautiful, just beautiful." Was all he said.
I hope Bella is okay and able to testify.
Alice is lucky Rosalie didn't see her.
Edward really is a piece of work lol. I wish everyone would behave but we would end up with a boring fic and no one wants that.
Bella's parents? They'll be making an appearance soon but not the way you're thinking, sigh. Nothing is ever as it seems.
We'll be seeing Esme soon too.
I know the events leading up to the alleged incident is still unclear. Don't worry, we're getting there. It's time for Edward and Bella chapters. Yay!
