A/N: So, I have hit 200 reviews. Now to me that is a big deal, making this story my highest reviewed story on here. I know that some authors have thousands of reviews but to me this is a milestone, so I am going to post this chapter as a celebration. I think that this chapter will what y'all have been waiting for. So, thank you to all my readers and reviewers. I love you all and here we go.

Edward and I danced around each other all day. The sexual tension between us was high. He innocently touched me, and I had to bite back a moan because it was right in front of Katiya. She got bored with playing downstairs and wanted to come watch TV, so Edward found her a movie while I read a book. I had brought a few because I knew there would be lots of free time. I made fried egg sandwiches for lunch because that was all we had. Just as Edward and I finished cleaning up after lunch, Emmett showed up with the groceries.

"Hey, you brought us food."

"Yep, and I got everything on the list, plus, phish food," Emmett announced.

"Oh, my God, you remember that? You're my hero," I said, giving him a big hug. I took the ice cream from him. I noticed the weird look on Edward's face and offered him a spoonful of the delicious ice cream. He smiled and shook his head. Emmett hauled in groceries in a couple of loads while Edward and I unpacked and put everything away. He was still acting a little weird and looked upset. Emmett gave me a separate bag that had Katiya's present and a gift bag that I could put it in. I thanked him and put it in the bedroom. When Emmett left, he told Edward he would call him and gave me another hug and a kiss to the forehead. I looked at Edward and saw that he was acting broodier than usual. Katiya asked me if I would braid her pigtails and I said of course. She sat down in front of me and I busied myself with concentrating on her hair. When I finished, she wanted to go play back downstairs. I grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him to the covered back patio.

"Okay, spill. What's up? You've been acting weird since Emmett showed up."

He grimaced at Emmett's name and I was really curious now. "Nothing is up."

"Bull. You've been Mr. Broody Pants. You don't brood, Edward. While it's a good look on you, you don't do it."

He started to rake his hands through his hair. "Do you like Emmett?"

"Do I like—"

"I mean, of course you do. Women always liked Emmett. He's so fun-loving; he is the life of the party. Not like serious Edward—"

"Okay, stop," I said, stopping his tirade. "I have a history with Emmett, so yeah I like him, but am I attracted to the lug? Um, no. I mean he's good looking, but he's the love of my sister's life. Not only that, but I'm also like a sister to him, and I see him as a big brother. I'd kill him for annoying me before I'd date him."

"But the ice cream thing."

"Yeah, have you tried Phish food? That shit is good. Are you jealous I called him my hero?"

He scoffed.

I gave him a small smile. "Edward, you are the biggest hero. You're protecting me and Katiya; you dropped everything to help us. That is a debt I can never even start to repay."

"It didn't even take me a moment of thought, but thanks, Bella."

"You're cute when you're jealous."

"Psshhh. I was just worried it would mess up the case."

I laughed loud and playfully pushed him. "Oh, now you got jokes?"

He laughed and pulled me into a hug and kissed my temple. When he did small things like this, it made me forget everything around me and all I saw and wanted was him. I shook it off. "Let's go check on our girl, yeah."

"Yeah, lead the way."

We spent the rest of the afternoon playing Uno and Skip-Bo, which, thanks to Edward, Katiya was getting really good at. When I skipped him for the fourth time in a row, he accused me of cheating. Katiya and I laughed at him. He went into the kitchen to make dinner, and I started packing the cards and games back up. Katiya laid her head in my lap and watched the TV. I was a little caught off guard, but I played with her hair and she sighed.

"Do you like having your hair played with?"

"I think so. My mom never played with my hair, but it feels nice."

"She never did your hair or anything?"

"No, she did, but once it was done, it was not to be messed with. She didn't like it when I got dirty either. My dad calmed her down all the time though when she was upset."

I smiled at her. "So, you were a daddy's girl?"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that you and your dad had a closer connection."

She shrugged her shoulders and nodded. "I guess, yeah."

"I'm a total daddy's girl. I love my mom; she's one of the sweetest people in the world, but my dad and I are like two peas in a pod. He can see one expression from me and know exactly how I feel."

"Do you see him often?"

"Not as much as I'd like to." As upset as I was about possibly never seeing my mom or Rose again, my dad is the one who got to me the most. I knew Rose would be okay, and my mom would be upset, but she and Rose were always closer, but I was the baby, and I was closer to my dad. When he was teaching me about guns, Rose was never as interested. She was more into girly things; I didn't have the patience for it.

"You look sad, Bella."

"I just miss my family, that's all. Sorry, I shouldn't complain about it, with what you are going through."

"I miss my parents, but I'm happy that I found you at the hospital."

"I'm glad I was there for you to find."

"Do you think Emmett will find the bad guys?"

"I know he's trying really hard, Katiya."

She nodded and looked satisfied with that answer. Edward chose that moment to call Katiya to help set the table—this was his nightly ritual with her. I finished tidying up the living room, and then joined them in the dining room. Edward had made hamburgers and fries, and it was nice to have something so familiar. I didn't talk much during dinner, which Katiya and Edward seemed to notice but they decided to let me be. Edward knew I had been through a lot in the last twelve hours alone. I also knew that he probably thought I only asked him to kiss me earlier out of desperation. Maybe it was, but I know that I desired him more than any other man before, and I certainly had feelings for him. I no longer thought it would be a mistake, and I hadn't changed my mind.

Edward and I cleaned up after dinner and Katiya went to watch "The Wizard of Oz" for the fifth time since I showed it to her yesterday. It was my favorite film growing up. She hadn't seen it, so I showed it to her, and she loved it. I realized that I had washed the same plate twice, so I shook it off and focused on what I was doing. I was about to rinse the plate when the water was turned off by Edward. I was surprised so I looked at him.

"For the love of God, please say something, Bella. You're starting to freak me out. You always have something to say."

I laughed and put the plate down. "Not this time. I'm trying to process; I'm trying to accept something that everything inside of me is screaming not to. My family is everything to me, and yeah, Rose and my mom will probably grieve and move on. This will kill my dad, Edward. So, I'm sorry if I'm not chatty, but it's a hard pill to swallow. I don't know what to say. It's not something I can get over easily."

Edward nodded. He pulled me in close to him. "I wish I could take this away for you. I'm supposed to protect you and I can't fix this, and it sucks."

"You realize if this happens, I won't see you again. Yeah, you are supposed to protect me, but when Katiya and I get our new identities, that's information you can't and won't get. So, I'm dealing with losing my family, losing you, and I'm frustrated because I'm not some weepy damsel and this makes me feel like I am," I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"I don't see you as some weepy damsel. I'm pretty amazed by how well you're dealing with everything. And I'm really hoping that if you do have to enter WitSec it's only temporary. But this is all in the future, you can't let it keep you from living in the now," he said and put his hand on my cheek. I nodded and put my hand over his on my cheek. "Go watch the movie with Katiya. I'll finish this."

"You sure?"

He nodded so I went and sat on the couch. Once the movie was over, I helped Katiya get ready for bed, and Edward and I got her settled in her bed. Edward had Emmett grab him some books from the store, so Edward read her a bedtime story and I went to our room, leaving the door open a little. I got dressed in my skimpy pajamas, then sat on the bed, just thinking. I heard Edward in the hallway, and then moving around the house. I assumed he was probably locking up everything. He opened the door while looking for me. His eyes widened a little, looking at my pajamas. I gave him a sly smile. I stood and met him at the door. I fisted the front of his shirt in my hand. I leaned in to kiss him, but he stopped me before I could.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bella? I don't want you to regret it tomorrow."

"I'm not going to regret it. I want this."

I pressed my lips to his with as much want as I could pour into that kiss. He grabbed the back of my neck, pulling me impossibly closer to him. I tried to hitch my leg on his hip, but he was too tall, and it didn't work. I whimpered. He let go of my neck and ran both his hands down my back, palmed my ass, and then picked me up by my thighs. I hooked my legs around his waist, and when he sat on the bed with me on his lap, I ground my hips into his. I moaned and he kissed my neck, licking and scraping with his teeth as he went down the column of my throat.

"God, you smell so good."

"Touch me, Edward."

He gave me a devilish grin and ripped my tank top over my head, throwing it somewhere on the floor. He stopped when he realized I wasn't wearing a bra underneath it. He laid back, pulling me with him, and then flipped us so he was over me. He leaned down and suckled one nipple into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. I moaned, throwing my head back. I grabbed his hair into my fists, holding him to my chest. He released my nipple and dove for the other one. I pulled his shirt off and scratched lightly down his chest, making sure to gently tug on his piercings, he groaned and grabbed both of my hands with his and lifted them to the headboard. He twined my hands around the bars. "Hold on, baby; those hands stay there." He kissed me again, hard. Then he started kissing and licking all the way down my body, past my breasts, nibbling on my belly button, and stopping right at my pubic bone. I could feel his warm breath through my skimpy shorts. He hooked his thumbs inside my shorts and pulled them off, along with my underwear. I let go of the headboard, about to rid him of his pants, and he tsked me. "What did I tell you to do with those hands, Bella?"

I huffed and put my hands back where he wanted them. He gave me that cocky smile and I smiled back him, knowing payback was gonna be a bitch. I'd play his game for now. He flicked his tongue and licked my clit, causing me to moan.

"Do you want me to lick your pussy?"

"Fuck, yes!" I choked out.

"Yes, what?"

"Yes, sir!" I whimpered.

"Good girl."

He licked from the bottom of my slit to the top, swirling around my clit. He flattened his tongue against it, and I knew this was going to be over quick. It had been too long, and this felt too amazing. He inserted two fingers in me and started pumping in time with his licks.

My moaning seemed to spur him on, and I was soon panting like I had been running a marathon. I felt the tightening in my stomach as he worked me over. "Shit, Edward, I'm gonna come."

"Do it, Bella. Let me see you let go."

My control snapped and stars burst behind my eyes and I moaned out Edward's name. He continued to lick and finger me through my orgasm, and once I had regained some sense, I turned the tables on Edward. I grabbed his hair, bringing him up to kiss me, wrapped my legs around his waist, and flipped us over so that I was on top of him. I slid down a little, so I could get to his belt and zipper. "These pants are coming off now." He helped me get the pants off. He looked a little surprised at my taking the power from him, and a whole lot turned on. I pulled his boxers off next, and it was impossible to miss the glint of the silver bent barbell. Sweet Jesus, he had a Prince Albert piercing. I leaned down and took him in my mouth with no warning. He groaned, and when I flicked his piercing, he growled low in his throat. I took him in as deep as I could and dragged my tongue along the shaft to the tip and swirled my tongue around the tip and sucked him down to the back of my throat. He was guiding my head, gently, and I found myself really liking it. I usually hated giving head, but everything about a naked Edward screamed sex, and I couldn't help myself. I filed away when he groaned or did that growl thing that made me impossibly wetter so I could remember this in the future. He pulled me off him and up gently. I pouted my lip, and he kissed my lips.

"That felt fucking amazing, but I want to come when I'm inside you." He tried to crawl out from under me.

I pushed him back down to the mattress to stop him. "Where the hell are you going?"

"I need a condom."

"I haven't had sex in over a year; not only that, I can't get pregnant, but I'm still on birth control. If you tell me you're clean, I trust you."

"Yeah, I've been tested, and it's been six months for me. I'm clean."

I was still on top of him, so I pulled myself up to my knees. I aligned him with my entrance, and then slowly sank down on him. When he was inside me all the way, he sat up, changing the angle. We were facing each other, and I dropped my head to his shoulder.

"Oh, my God. That feels so good."

"Goddamn, you are tight," he ground out.

I lifted my head and smiled at him. I kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He guided my hips with one hand, and the other grabbed my hair at the nape of my neck. He pulled to bring my head back, exposing my neck to him. He scraped his teeth down my neck, and it sent jolts of electricity straight to my already oversensitive clit. I brought one of my hands from around his neck to his chest and I flicked his piercings. He hissed fuck and sped up our thrusts. He drug his hand from my hair, down to rub my clit and I gasped. I was so close to coming again and I wanted him to come with me.

"I'm so close; please tell me you are too."

"It's been six months—I'm close."

"Jesus," I squealed out when he thrust faster, and he circled my clit faster. When he gently pinched it, I fell off the cliff I was clinging to and fell into bliss. I felt Edward pulse inside me and then he stilled. We stayed there, still embracing each other and softly kissing and touching, not wanting to break apart yet.

Soon the reality of having sex without a condom was causing a very gross situation. We broke apart and I excused myself to the bathroom to take care of business. Before I left the bathroom, I remembered I was very naked and there was a little girl in the house. I was about to open the door when Edward softly knocked. He slid in the bathroom with two towels and both of our pajamas. I raised my eyebrows at him, and he smiled shyly. This was a new smile and I found it so fucking adorable. I pulled him closer to me and kissed him. He broke away from the kiss and playfully nipped my neck. I giggled and he lifted me, causing me to laugh and cry out in surprise. He carried me to the tub, and we took a shower together; we kept it mostly PG, still just wanting to be close and intimate without making it all about sex.

We got out of the shower, toweled off, and I noticed that he had brought my skimpy pajamas with him for me to dress in. I also noticed there was no underwear. "Edward!"

"What? It's not like these clothes are gonna stay on long."

I shook my head and hugged him, wrapping my arms around his waist. I rose up on my tippy toes and pressed a peck to his neck. He smiled and playfully popped me on the ass. I smacked his hands away and we made our way to the bedroom. I headed to the bed, getting in while Edward turned the lights off in the hall and the bedroom light. He got in the bed and pulled me to him. I turned on my side, so I was facing him. He kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes, sighing. I lightly scratched the stubble on his jaw he had been growing and he made a hmmm sound. I imagine that meant he liked it. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled my body closer to him. I pushed on his shoulder, so he laid on his back. I rested my head on his chest and kept stroking his jaw. I was starting to fell asleep, and just before I slipped under, I felt him press a kiss to my temple and murmur, "Sweet dreams, Bella."

EPOV

I was jolted awake by a light knocking on the bedroom door. Bella was still laying on my chest, dead to the world. I slid from under her and answered the door, cracking it open slightly. Katiya was there looking wide awake and already dressed.

"Bella told me not to climb on the counter and I want cereal. Will you help me, please?"

"Absolutely, pretty girl." I opened the door as little as possible and slipped out, following her to the kitchen. I was still fully dressed. I had hoped to maybe go another round with Bella last night, but we had tired ourselves out. I smiled to myself, thinking about it. I hoped she didn't get upset at waking up alone. I got Katiya set up with cereal and some juice. I sat with her, eating my own cereal. Bella joined us soon, and I was happy to see her smile sleepily at us.

Katiya skipped off to do her own thing, which I noticed she did a lot. I wondered idly if she was left to her own devices a lot with her "parents."

When Bella pushed her cereal bowl away, I pulled her to me for a kiss. She tasted like milk and sugar, and it drove me crazy, like she always did. She giggled and broke away, licking her lips. "You okay?" I asked.

She nodded. "Absolutely. Zero weirdness here."

I laughed and nodded. I was pretty blissed out, so of course, when my phone started ringing, I had no thought to be suspicious. I didn't look at the caller ID before answering. "Masen," I barked into the phone, using my no-nonsense tone.

"Ed, man, we got a huge complication."

"What?" I asked, looking at Bella with wide eyes. She looked at me in concern upon seeing my expression.

"Go turn on the TV, any local news channel." Bella followed me as I all but sprinted to the living room to turn on the TV. As it lit up, I saw Bella's picture and a picture of Katiya on the screen. "Fuck!" I ground out.

"Oh, it gets worse. Listen to the broadcast and I'll be there in about 10 minutes."

I hung up with him and turned the TV up.

"This little girl was in police custody when she ran away and the trail for her disappeared. A nurse at Virginia Mason Hospital was seen putting her in her car after getting off work, as the surveillance cameras from the garage show here. Twenty-three-year-old Bella Swan is the prime suspect in the kidnapping of seven-year-old Katiya Petrov. Neither has been seen since the night of this recording, and police are investigating this case but have no new updates."

Bella gasped and grasped my arm like she was about to fall. "What does this mean, Edward?"

"It means that she just told the bad guys who exactly they are looking for and shit just got a whole lot more complicated."

A/N: Oh, snap! Well what are your thoughts. Good, bad, and dirty; I want them all. Lol. Let me know and I will see you all in 12 days!
