AN: Every chapter I get more hits and one more review than the last, that would be awesome to keep that up. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.

Sorry for any errors I was in a rush to get this out to you & sorry for any disappointment that ExB will NOT be throwing it down in the woods after their declaration of love. I know some of you are getting impatient but we still have a ways to go and like I said before that's not how I've built this story…….However, I did throw a little something in this chapter for you guys as a special treat, well maybe "little" isn't the best word to describe it!

BTW Chp 1 has been redited, Rosalie and Emmett are seniors in high school this year because I didn't want to take out Emmett's parts.

Enjoy!

I do not own Twilight!

I snuggled deeper into the crook of Edward's neck and exhaled softly, I was on cloud nine and my body felt weightless, I was completely at peace. We had been laying here on the damp ground all night just holding each other, it felt like the rest of the world had just melted away and it was just Edward and I left in our very own bubble, he was all I could see and the way he stared back at me I could pretty much tell he felt the same way. The stars sparkled brightly above us lighting up the night sky but I didn't notice it's beauty because it paled to the perfection lying next to me holding me in his strong, loving arms, I felt safe.

Every now and then we would kiss, soft, sweet, loving kisses not the passion filled desperate ones from earlier, he would nuzzle my hair and I'd hear him breath me in and sigh. He played with my fingers and made small talk asking me questions about my life before Forks and he'd run his fingers absentmindedly through my hair and down my spine as I answered him. But most of the night we sat in comfortable silence, it was like the moment was too special for words and when we did speak we talked in hush tones like if we spoke too loud our bubble would burst and all of tonight would disappear.

He pulled me tighter to him and then let out a small chuckle as he pulled a small twig and pieces of grass from my hair.

"We should probably be going soon," he whispered as he held up the twig in front of me before he flicked it away.

"No thanks," I breathed snuggling into him trying to hide my smile, "I'm good right here."

He chuckled again and tilted my head up to touch his lips to my temple, I felt him smile against my skin as he spoke into it. "The sun will be up in an hour…..Charlie?" he reminded me.

I groaned and stretched dramatically and he laughed. I cocked my eyebrows up at him asking him what was so funny.

"It's nothing…" he said shaking his head and grinning at me, my heart skipped a beat, "you just amaze me to no end, we all had to work so hard at maintaining our human mannerisms and you do these things without even thinking, it's just adorable, that's all."

I ducked my head and smiled at him, "Well I'm glad I amuse you." I murmured.

He stood up and pulled me up into his arms wrapping me protectively in them, "Bella, everything you do amuses me," he chuckled kissing my forehead, "You completely captivate me, my love."

I smiled back enjoying this side of Edward, I had never seen him so lighthearted and at ease before.

"Shall we?" he said as he took my arm in his very chivalrously, "the real world awaits."

I groaned and drug my feet pouting, "If we must."

*************

We climbed through my window just as I heard Charlie trudging down the hallway.

"Quick, get in bed." Edward hissed before disappearing into my closet.

"Edward Cullen…..already trying to get me in bed, I'm not that kind of girl," I whispered playfully as I slid under my sheets.

I heard him laugh under his breath as Charlie cracked open my bedroom door.

"Bells," he called lowly, "Are you awake?"

I feigned a loud yawn and stretched, "Ya Dad, I'm up."

He pushed the door open further and ducked his head in, "Hey kiddo, I was just letting you know I'm heading into the station but I have the day off tomorrow if you want to ride to La Push with me to watch the game, I know Jake and Billy's been dying to see you."

I heard Edward growl too lowly for Charlie to pick up on, "Um …..sure dad, I'll think about it."

"Okay kid, see ya tonight." he said shutting the door.

I looked over and Edward was already sitting in my rocker looking disheveled from our night out in the woods and angry.

"Um, do you want to tell me what that was about?" I asked confused.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath, "You can't go to La Push Bella."

I automatically went on the defensive, I thought we had discussed this whole decision making thing, "Edward…….." I warned.

He stood up and started pacing. "I'm not telling you what to do, this is…..different." he said through clenched teeth. "It'll probably be better if Carlisle explains this all to you."

I looked at him still completely confused and impatient, "Explains what?" I asked.

"Bella please, can't you just trust me this once, Carlisle will explain it all much better to you, I promise, please." he pleaded.

"Okay….." I drawled out looking at a very flustered Edward and I automatically missed the at ease Edward from earlier.

"Edward?"

"Yes Bella." he answered shortly, looking out my window and probably expecting the worse.

"Why is it that I'm over here all alone, in bed for that matter, and you're wayyyy over there," I looked at him from under my lashes and gave him a small pout.

He took in my expression and shook his head back and forth slowly smiling back at me, the anger melting away. He made his way over to the bed and leaned over me with one hand on each side of me holding his weight up.

"I thought only moments ago this was unacceptable Bella," he cocked his eyebrows up playfully, " I thought you said you weren't that kind of girl." his words slid out huskily as he gave me a sinfully, amused smile.

I swallowed hard and gathered my senses, Edward leaning over me like this was intoxicating, his scent was all around me.

I reached up and grabbed a fistful of his shirt, "A girl can change her mind, can't she?" I asked innocently, he starred down at my lips as I pouted,.

"Yes ma'am," he breathed before crashing his lips to mine and I pulled him slowly down to the bed with me.

I quickly learned kissing Edward was going to be a problem. Not the actual kissing part of course, that part was heavenly, the stopping part however was impossible. A few hours later we were still in my bed, still kissing. Edward's mouth had been spending the last few hours exploring my mouth and worshipping my neck. His mouth was indescribable against my skin and his tongue was going to be the end of me. I couldn't believe how much time had gone by and I realized I could very well lay here in Edward's arms and kiss him forever. He was kissing the nook where my neck met my shoulder never venturing any further past that when I trailed small wet kisses up his neck to his ear, I licked his ear lobe before taking it into my mouth and sucking lightly on it, tasting his sweet skin.

"Mmmmm Bella," he moaned, dropping his forehead onto my shoulder.

I froze at the sound. It was the most delicious, heavenly sound I had ever heard and I smiled inwardly knowing I had caused it.

He lay still, breathing in and out harshly against the wet skin of my neck and I mustered up the courage to lean down and repeat my actions, kissing his ear lightly before taking his earlobe into my mouth nibbling on it this time.

"Bell….aaa," he moaned again hoarsely before diving into my neck.

He trailed wet, open mouth, hungry kisses back up my neck nipping and suckling as he went before crashing his lips to mine. He hadn't kissed me like this since he told me he loved me last night and I was highly aware that this time we were lying down with our bodies intertwined and I could feel every line of his hard body against mine. Up until now his hands had been respectively above my shoulders either on my neck or on my face but at the moment as his tongue desperately explored my mouth his hands were slowly making there way down my sides only to stop and rest firmly on my hips.

I had spent the better part of last night holding Bella in my arms and the last few hours kissing her and tasting her, it was euphoric. Time had no relevance, all that mattered was Bella. I explored every inch of her mouth and neck putting it to memory. I took my time and figured out exactly what she liked, her small whimpers and erratic breaths guiding my way. I kept a clear head and did my best to be as gentlemanly as possible, keeping my hands safely on her neck or holding her face and never venturing down past my new favorite spot where her beautiful neck met her perfect shoulder, her scent was even more heady in this spot and I couldn't help but get lost in it. It wasn't until I felt Bella trail wet, hot kisses up my neck and take my earlobe into her mouth that my control faltered. I couldn't help the sound that escaped me and I dropped my head into her shoulder breathing in her scent heavily trying to calm down. Kissing Bella was already enough to have me teetering on the brink of control and when she wrapped her plump lips around my earlobe and sucked, it tipped the scale. My body was on fire and the monster inside me wanted nothing more than to come out and play. I thought about Bella, sweet innocent Bella, standing there in the woods confessing her love for me, I pictured Bella laughing and taking my face into her small, soft hands and I willed myself to be stronger, we had all the time in the world and I didn't want to rush this. My erratic breaths had just started to calm when Bella repeated her actions from earlier, this time nibbling on my earlobe softly and I was gone.

I moaned her sweet name and hungrily devoured her neck before crashing my lips to hers. My hands moved on their own accord, down her perfect body to rest firmly on her hips, my thumbs sneaking up under the hem of her shirt to rub small circles on her delicate hip bones. She whimpered at my touch and my body ignored every rational thought I had as I ground my hips into hers. Her breath hitched and I pulled back to look into her hooded eyes, she stared back at me with a small smile on her face and threw her arms around my neck pulling me back roughly to her, greedily attacking my lips and moaning into my mouth. My hands grabbed her hips harder as I ran my tongue slowly along her jaw line to her ear before eagerly taking her earlobe into my mouth, sucking and nibbling on it like she had done to mine only moments ago. I dipped my tongue into her ear and swirled it around tasting this uncharted territory eliciting small whimpers from my angel. I trailed down her throat suckling as I went leaving a trail of venom in it's wake making my way to the top of her collarbone. I gave her skin a chaste kiss before nuzzling the top of her shirt down far enough to allow me full access and I slid the tip of my tongue along the line of her collarbone before pulling back and blowing lightly along her glistening flesh. Her hands tangled in my hair and pulled my lips down to her body again.

"Edward….," she breathed before raising her hips and circling them into mine, her eyes rolled back into her head at the contact and I knew she felt how much I wanted her.

"Bella," I groaned nipping at her skin, "maybe……. we should slow down." I murmured reluctantly.

"Mmmmm?" she breathed out, not really hearing me.

I made my way back up to her ear tasting her skin as I went not being able to get enough.

"Bella," I breathed in her ear kissing her ear lobe, "we have forever love," *kiss* "we don't have to rush this," *kiss*.

"Edward," she whimpered, "I can't think straight when you're doing that."

"You're going to have to ask me to stop love, you taste too good, I'm not going to be able to stop on my own." my voice was husky and desperate as I took her bottom lip into my mouth.

"God, your driving me crazy……" she tried to talk with me still sucking on her bottom lip and I couldn't help but chuckle at her.

"Bella?" I looked up at her from under my lashes as I drug my hand slowly from her hip bone across to her belly button, circling it with my finger through her shirt.

"Ugh…..Fine!" she growled, swatting my shoulder. "Stop," she mumbled so quietly even I could barely pick up on it.

I fell back onto her bed chuckling at her aggravation that I too shared, I wanted nothing more than to keep going but I loved Bella and we had only just confessed that love to each other last night and no matter how much I wanted her right now, I knew deep down this isn't how either of us wanted this to happen. I rubbed my hands roughly over my face trying to clear my head which I quickly realized was impossible with Bella laying directly beside me trying to calm her own erratic breathing, I looked at her out of the corner of my eye and watched her chest rise and fall with each deep breath she took. I groaned inwardly and got up from the bed. Bella's eyes snapped open and she propped herself up on her elbows to look at me with her eyebrows cocked up in question.

"Bella I'm going to go home and get a shower, a cold shower," I said running my hand through my hair letting pieces of grass fall to the ground, "then I'll grab my car and come back and get you, okay?"

She pouted and it took everything in me to not throw her back on the bed and take her plump, little lips into my mouth, her hair was wild from our night in the woods and from my hands constantly running through it, she looked irresistible.

"Okay." she said softly chewing on her delectable lip.

"Bella…. if you don't stop looking at me like that….." I trailed off, my eyes firmly trained on her lips.

"What are you going to do about it Mr. Cullen," she giggled playfully.

I closed the space between us and kissed her slow and soft pouring everything she made me feel into it. I broke the kiss and pulled back to look at her. "I love you Bella, I'll be back soon."

"I love you too Edward, hurry back." she breathed, giving me a breathtaking smile.

I gave her one more chaste kiss and jumped out the window, leaving Bella's side for the first time since I let her know how much she truly meant to me. I felt the sudden urgency of needing to be back by her side and I ran faster.

*******************

I made my way into the house and up the stairs without running into any of my family which surprised me, I had figured they'd be waiting to bombard me with questions about last night. I reached out and heard that everyone was home and spread out around the house except for Carlisle and no one's thoughts were focused on Bella and I ……strange.

I turned the water to ice cold and stripped out of my hunting clothes. The frigid water had no effect on me like it had had in the minds of so many humans, I couldn't even feel it which didn't surprise me but it was worth the try. I turned the water to scolding hot and put my hands up on the tile and leaned into the stream letting the heat relax the muscles in my back, I closed my eyes willing my overwhelming need for Bella to subside some but it didn't. An image of Bella in the lake, wet, with her legs wrapped tightly around my waist flashed through my head and I licked my lips at the thought of how good her skin would taste wet and how easy her flesh had molded in my hands. My groin pulsed with eagerness at my thoughts and I needed her so much more, it was teetering on the edge of painful. I slowly removed one of my hands off of the tile wall and slid it down my stomach, over my abs and down to my throbbing member. I slid my palm down the length of my hardness a few times gauging the feeling. I pictured Bella back in the lake again looking at me from under her lashes as she rocked back and forth, grinding up against me, moaning out my name. I sucked in a deep breath and wrapped my hand around my shaft, gripping it hard and sliding it up and down slowly. I pictured my self leaning forward and burying my face deep into Bella's chest kissing and licking the delectable line of her cleavage that teased me so, I pumped my fist faster spreading the juices that were starting to seep out over my head with my thumb and I mouthed Bella's name. The muscles in my arms rippled and clenched as I imagined taking the flimsy straps of her bikini top into my mouth and snapping it in two letting it fall forward exposing her beautiful, pale breasts to me in all their glory, I buried my face in her exposed skin licking and tasting her as her chest bounced up and down as I rocked up against her, her moans becoming louder and more erratic, screaming my name as I pushed her to release.

"Uhhh. Bella, Bella, Bella ………….." I began chanting her name religiously as the tightening in my stomach peaked and I fell forward against the wall exploding against the tile, my body convulsing in pleasure.

I took at few deep breaths trying to calm myself and then sprayed the wall down with the shower head before getting out and drying off. I ran my fingers through my wet hair and looked at my reflection in the mirror blowing out a breath in aggravation, while the release I had was great in the moment only mere seconds later I needed her again even worse than before. I leaned over and braced myself on the counter top, this was going to be interesting.

I ran downstairs and was met with a boisterous looking Emmett with a shit eating grin plastered on his face.

"Emmett." I greeted him trying to hold back a smile, his thoughts were bursting at the seams with excitement that Bella and I had finally got together.

"Eddie." he greeted me back smugly, "Sooooo, how'd things go with Bella last night?"

"Like a certain pixie sibling of ours hasn't already given you a play by play," I chuckled out trying to get past him.

"Not so fast," Emmett put his hands up in surrender, "For your information Alice hasn't been out of her room since last night after Bella left here."

As if on cue Alice growled out in aggravation and I heard the distinctive sound of a shoe slamming into the wall, I turned back to Emmett wide eyed, when Alice resulted to attacking her shoes of all things, things were bad. I reached out to Alice's thoughts but in return got the Declaration of Independence being translated into Arabic, something was up.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked.

"I don't know, I think she had a vision maybe or something but then she rushed upstairs in a huff," Emmett rushed out, "I figured you had just screwed things up again like you always do, that is of course until you ran in here today smelling of Bella with that relaxed, lovey dovey look plastered on your face," he cleared his throat, "not to mention the self lovin a few moments ago," he finished wagging his eyebrows up and down at me.

"Emmett…. " I growled and dropped my head in my hands, if I was human I would be seriously blushing at the moment.

"No," Emmett feigned seriousness looking up like he was in deep thought, "It was more like... Bella, Bella, Bella," he sang out in a high soprano voice as he shook his hips and did a smacking motion in front of him.

"For as many years that I've had to endure all the stuff that goes on behind closed doors in this house and sometimes not…." I growled pointing at Emmett.

"Calm down, Calm down, I'm just messing with you man, damn…. you think you'd be a little more…relaxed." he chuckled out.

I slugged him in the shoulder and he winced.

"Okay, okay," he bent over laughing, "I'm sorry. Anyways it's about damn time and I like Newbie, I'm glad she's the one bringing all this out in you, you look…..," he cocked his head studying my face, "happy."

I took a deep breath and shook my head, Emmett was Emmett, I shouldn't of expected any less.

"Promise me you got all of this out of your system, that you won't say anything like that when Bella's around, I'm bringing her back here to talk to Carlisle and I don't need you making her feel uncomfortable."

"I'll be on my best behavior," Emmett tried to sound serious but lost the illusion when he held up his hand and said, "Scout's honor."

"What does Bella need to talk to Carlisle about anyways?" he asked as he flopped over the back of the couch, thank god for sturdy furniture.

"La Push." was all I said on my way out the door.

"Damn dogs……" Emmett thought.

AN: Okay I showed you guys some love with Edward in the shower, now show me love and Review, please! BTW werewolves or Jake for that matter will not be a big part of this story.
