Bella POV
Long lost words whisper slowly to me (I know you're still there) Watching me and wanting me
I can feel you pull me down Fearing you, loathing you I won't let you pull me down… raping me, watching me~ Haunted by Evanescence
The week flew by without incident, that is until Friday reared its ugly head. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving and I was at home with Alice, waiting for Edward to get out of class and call me. Ali was talking to Jasper on her cell phone. The house phone rang and I got up to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Surprise, lover." It was distorted, but it was male. I knew immediately who it was.
"Riley?" Ali's head snapped up in surprise. She shushed Jazz.
"I wonder how much fun this game will be. You barely even put up a fight during the last one." I heard Alice talking to Jazz rapid fire and then hung up as she was coming to stand by me.
"Then again, maybe I'll go for the pixie first. She seems like she'd be more fun."
"Don't involve her in this; this is between you and me. I'm the one you're after, but it won't be so easy this time."
"Are you referring to your great protector Emmett, or your boyfriend, Edward?" My eyes got wide. How did he know? "I'm not worried about either, but it seems you're engaged in the game. That makes it very exciting."
"This isn't a game you sick bastard!" My cell phone started ringing. I gave it to Alice; she answered it and started talking. I was sure it was Edward. "What do you want?"
"You know what I want, lover. You just said so. I get what I want in the end, just like last summer."
"You took something from me that I didn't want to give you. You're a bully, and you'll never get near me again."
"Guess again, Isa. I'm closer than you think. I'm gonna make you pay. I'll be seeing you soon. Sleep tight, lover."
The line went dead. I threw the phone and screamed. Alice jumped and gasped. She looked at me a little scared. I sighed. "Edward is on his way. What happened, Bella?"
"It was Riley," I said, threading my hands through my hair and gripping tight.
"What did he say?" I gave her a scathing look. She put up her hands in surrender. "Ok. Sorry, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Right cause you're gonna call Jazz and he's gonna come to get you to stay with him."
She shook her head before I finished. "No, I'm not leaving you here alone."
"I won't be alone. He threatened you, Alice, so you are not staying here. I'll call Jazz for you if I have to."
"He threatened me? What did he say?" Alice asked eyes wide.
"I'm not telling you, Alice. I'm only telling you so you understand this is not something you're gonna fight me on and win."
"I'm supposed to be your best friend, Bella. Why are you being so secretive?"
I felt it coming, but I couldn't stop it and so I snapped. "Damnit, Alice! Why do you have to ask so many questions, and be so stubborn? I'm secretive because some things are better not knowing. I'd rather not know, but no one gave me that choice."
"Ok, Bella. Ok. Just stop yelling at me, because I don't deserve it." I saw a few tears roll down her cheek. She put her cell phone to her ear and left the room.
"Shit!" I said to myself. I felt bad now on top of everything. The doorbell rang. I opened the door and it was Edward. I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist. He just stood there holding me, and stroking my hair. Too soon I had to let go, or we both were gonna fall. I jumped down and led him to the couch. "So I have a favor to ask you, and it's not a small one."
He looked at me sincerely. "Anything. Name it."
"Well, I'm making Alice leave. Riley threatened to go after her. She can't stay here. I, on the other hand, can and am, but I don't want to be alone."
"I'll stay as long as you need me. Probably even when you're tired of me, I'll stay." I smiled. Alice came back into the living room with two suitcases.
"Jazz is on his way. Now, before I decide to throw a fit about leaving, who is staying with you?" she asked.
"Edward, and he won't leave my side. I'm gonna miss you, Ali, but it's not safe."
"I understand that, but how do we know he's not watching right now? He'll know I'm leaving."
"Good. He needs to know he can't touch you."
"You can't protect everyone, Bella."
"True, but I can protect you, and so I will. Deal with it."
"Ok." She said, and I knew at that point she was dropping it. There was a knock on the front door. Ali got up to answer it. It was Jasper. Ali gave him a huge hug. He gave her a one-armed hug. He still had his cast on and was a week from getting it removed. Jasper nodded at me but didn't say anything. Things between Jasper and I had been…tense lately. He saw Alice in danger, and that was my fault. It wasn't that simple though, he wasn't an unfeeling ass. We told him about Riley, and he was concerned about me, but I told him to focus on Ali's safety. He decided to take it a little far and went into super protect mode, for him, it was black and white, I was the problem. I couldn't be mad at him. If it weren't for me and my problems, Alice would be fine and out of the line of fire. I wasn't feeling sorry for myself, I was being realistic. Edward picked up on my tense posture and squeezed my hand. I smiled at him, and he smiled back with that adorable crooked smile. Alice flitted around the house gathering her stuff and Jazz followed her around. Alice finally got all her stuff together and took it out to Jazz's car. She came back in to say goodbye. Jazz stayed outside smoking a cigarette, and Edward went out to talk to him, and he looked mad. Alice sat next to me. "Don't try to be a hero, Bella. He seems even crazier than before when he raped you. I worry about you, and I know how you can be."
"I know, Alice. Edward already gave me the lecture. Not leaving my side blah, blah, blah. I'll be okay. I'm even better knowing your safe. Please tell Jazz to stop hating on me."
"I have, and will continue until he listens. He worries way too much."
"He just loves you, Ali," I said wistfully. She smiled.
"Yeah, he does. You know Edward is just as crazy about you, Bella. He'll do anything for you." I smiled at Alice.
"I know, it's still so new. I'm crazy about him too. He makes me feel safe, and whenever I'm in his arms I feel home. It's cheesy, I know."
"It's sweet." She gave me a big hug. "I love you girl, and we are hanging out after you guys come back from Forks."
"Ok."
She got up and went to the front door. She stopped and waved sadly. I waved back. She went outside, and I could see her talking to Jasper and Edward. I smiled and got up off the couch and walked into the kitchen. I was cleaning up and I'm not sure why but at that time a wave of sadness crashed over me. It made me want to cry, so I let it all out. The week of stress and crap had gotten to me. I didn't hear him, but I suddenly felt a pair of arms circle around my waist and I knew it was Edward. He kissed the back of my neck and I forgot all about my sadness or even why I was crying. I turned around in his arms and smiled at him. He smiled back and I was once again in awe of how beautiful he was. His features were flawless, and those lips; every time I kissed his lips I melted.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked in his velvet-smooth voice. I felt like I was a little love drunk.
"Your lips," I said stupidly. He chuckled and ducked my head so it rested in the crook of his neck.
"What about my lips?"
"They're hot," I said, knowing I was teasing him but couldn't help it. "And very skilled."
He smiled a devilish smile. "You have no idea." He kissed me hungrily. It was a different kind of kiss. Usually, his kisses were sweet and loving, sometimes passionate. This one was raw and hungry like he couldn't get enough of me. It was new, but I realized I liked it, and I also knew what it was leading to. I knew I wasn't scared. I felt safe with Edward, safer than I ever felt with anyone and I knew he'd stop if I told him to. I kissed him back with just as much want and need. He stopped and started kissing my neck and collarbone.
"Do you want to go upstairs?" I asked him as I knotted my fingers in his hair. He stopped what he was doing and looked me dead in the eyes. He held my head in between his hands.
"Are you sure, Bella?"
I nodded. "I'm positive, Edward. I trust you and I want to be with you. I'm ready."
"Bella, I don't want to take advantage. Isn't it too soon?"
"We get to decide when it's time, Edward. I've known you my entire life. I feel safe with you. You aren't him, and I spent a year and a half of my life being scared by what this asshat did. I won't let him control me anymore."
"You'll tell me if I need to stop?"
I nodded and he continued to look in my eyes like he was looking for some hesitation. I bit my lip. He picked me up bridal style, and I laughed in surprise. There was a glowing smile on his angelic face. He carried me upstairs and set me down when we got into my room. I sat on my bed, and Edward joined me. We started kissing again. He both removed our shirts and I removed my bra too. He started kissing down my neck to my chest and licked my nipples. I moaned in pleasure, and I started pulling lightly on his hair. Edward definitely wasn't lying about his lips being skilled. He gently pushed me so I was lying down and he was lying on top. He continued to kiss down my body and removed my pants. He smiled at my lacy underwear. I smiled back at him. He got that mischievous smile on his face and my breath caught in my throat as he leaned and blew on me through my underwear. He chuckled when I bucked my hips. He knew what he was doing. He started touching me and it wasn't enough contact for me. I moaned.
"Edward, please." That was all he needed and he got rid of my underwear and went back to stroking my clit. "Oh, god!" He replaced his fingers with his tongue, and I was in heaven. He continued to lick and suck. When he inserted his finger inside me my eyes rolled back in my head and I arched up off the bed. I tried to roll my hips to take him deeper inside me. "More." I breathed. He inserted another finger and started pumping in and out of me. "Oh, that feels so good. Don't stop." I said breathlessly. He kept licking and sucking till I almost couldn't breathe and then I felt the tightening in my stomach and grabbed the bedsheets in my fists. "Oh my god, I'm gonna come, Edward." He just kept going at me and I cried out in ecstasy and arched my back up off the bed. He continued to ride me through my orgasm and stopped. He started kissing me again, and I felt like a puddle of Bella shaped Jell-O. He stopped kissing me and just stared down at me, looking me in the eyes. I kept my eyes locked on him.
"I love you."
It was so intense looking in his eyes and feeling the love radiating, I was so close to crying. "I love you too." I pulled him down to hug me and we started kissing again. I reached down and grabbed his hard length in my hand. He moaned and I started stroking him with hard long strokes and I whispered in his ear. "I want you inside me."
"Do you have a condom?"
"I'm on the pill. It's ok." He nodded and I knew he wanted it just as much, but was trying to be safe. He aligned himself with my entrance and slowly entered me. It'd been a while since I'd had sex and Edward was fairly large, so I couldn't stop the hiss that escaped my mouth. He immediately stopped and that made it worse and so I grabbed his back and slammed him the rest of the way in me. "Ok, now give me a second." Edward kinda looked at me in awe. "What?"
"That was kinda hot, you being forceful like that." He said and kissed me. I started rolling my hips to let him know I was okay now. Having sex with Edward was awesome. It was like a little slice of heaven. The feel of him inside me, on top of me, and touching me everywhere he could was almost enough to make my brain short circuit. Soon we were both panting away and he rolled onto his back and grabbed my hips and continued to slam into me. I was moaning and crying out in ecstasy and he was moaning too. I felt the tightening in my stomach again and cried out more. I started grinding myself into him faster and with more force, soon I was screaming as my orgasm took over me and he soon followed me. I fell down beside him and smiled at him. He put his hand on my cheek and just smiled back. Edward and I started cuddling and hugging and then my stomach growled. "Hungry." He grinned.
"Yeah," I laughed "It would seem so. I'm gonna go get something downstairs. You want anything?"
"No, I'm good."
"Ok, I'll be back." I gave him a kiss and threw on a tank top and yoga pants. I went downstairs. I looked in the cupboards and the fridge for something to make. I still hadn't decided when I heard the crash of glass breaking and a thump on the ceiling from the direction of my room upstairs. "What the…?" I ran upstairs and got to my room to see Edward picking up a big rock from the floor. He ripped something off it and looked at it. I came up behind him and saw it was a piece of paper. On it there was writing that said:
She's mine! Touch her again, and I will make you regret it!
I gasped. What the hell! I'd had enough of this. "Oh, hell no!" I flew out of my room and heard Edward calling for me. I didn't stop and ran down the stairs with his footsteps following me. I threw the door open and stepped out on the porch. "Where the hell are you? Show yourself you coward!" I yelled, throwing my arms open. Edward rushed up behind me and picked me up by my waist. "Let me go." He took me into the house and shut the door. He let me go and I launched myself towards the door. He moved to block me. "Really? You don't wanna fight me, Edward."
"No, I don't. But I don't want to let you back outside, either. Trying to antagonize someone who is clearly not stable and who has threatened you, Bella? Not a good idea at all."
" 'Bout time someone stood up to him."
"Bella, love, he can't be reasoned with."
"I don't wanna reason with him or talk. I wanna punch him in his stupid face."
"Bells, while I love your candor, this is serious. It's not safe, love. Remember the deal we made?"
I sighed and nodded. "Fine, I understand what you're saying, I just don't like it."
"Didn't think you would."
Edward hugged me and nuzzled my neck causing me to shiver and moan. He softly pressed his lips against my neck and was driving me crazy with his soft kisses. He kissed his way up and then caught my mouth. I pulled his face against mine to deepen the kiss and he responded. He kissed me back hungrily.
"This should be illegal." I breathed.
"What's that, love?'
"Kissing you, being with you. I like it way too much for it to be acceptable."
He smiled his crooked smile. "I like it to Bells. Being with you is all I want and all I need."
It was my turn to smile. "Well, then let's go attend to those needs." I grabbed his hand and we headed upstairs.
A/N: Alright, I know it was too early for them to have sex. Keep in mind, this was written 7 years ago. I was very new to fanfiction, and I felt pressured to put sex in my story. It was a tool for propelling the story forward and pissing Riley off. As I am posting this story, mostly in it's original form, with little changes, I didn't change this. If I could write it again, they would have waited. This story would have also been a lot longer. Please review or add the button to follow if you haven't yet. I will probably do another double posting by this weekend. Next chapter will be them going to Forks for Thanksgiving. Love you all!
