Thank you for reading! I'm back from vacation so I'm trying to crank some chapters out. We had such a good time, but as always I'm happy to be back home. Are any of you going on great vacations this summer? I've got a couple more trips planned- one girls trip this month and then our usual family vacation in August. I can't wait for either one!

… …

"Shh."

Edward nipped at my thigh, but his tongue quickly soothed the spot before going back between my thighs.

I tossed my head back, biting my lip. I could try to be quiet, but the way he was eating me out made me want to scream with pleasure. It had been too long since we had been like this- spontaneous and naughty. We still had an active sex life at home, but when he had sat me down on top of his desk while we were supposed to be eating lunch, I rejoiced.

My fingers gripped his hair, pulling him even closer. I whimpered again, making Edward glance up.

"Maybe I want them to hear," I teased breathlessly, bucking my hips once.

I was kidding, but I'd be lying if I said a part of me wouldn't love for Chelsea to hear us in here.

Edward had picked up his classes over a month ago, but the novelty hadn't seemed to wear off for Chelsea. She was still flirty, and far too familiar. Edward had tried ignoring her, but maybe it was time for a more direct approach now.

I refocused at the task at hand as Edward redoubled his efforts, grabbing me by the hips and pulling me further down the desk. He already knew just how to get me off, and the excitement of fooling around in his office just added to the excitement. When he slid a finger inside of me, I didn't stand a chance. I managed to stay quiet through my orgasm, and then Edward's mouth was on mine before my heart rate even had a chance to slow down.

"What was that about?!" I asked breathlessly, running my hands through his hair. "Not that I'm complaining."

"You just looked good enough to eat."

… …

Mila had a new game- and it was exhausting. She dropped her pacifier on the ground for the fourth time, and I groaned in frustration.

I had been studying for hours, and although I felt dead tired, Mila clearly didn't. I loved that she was developing a personality, but she was definitely already becoming precocious.

I picked up my phone, noting that it was almost midnight.

When will you be home?

Edward was out with Emmett, and I was itching for him to get home- not only so that Mila would hopefully fall asleep, but so that we could have some alone time together. Our relationship had become more intense in the last few months. It was no secret that Edward and I loved sex and had a dynamic sex life, even though we had gone through a dry spell until a few weeks ago. Even when we had started having sex again, it hadn't been quite the same. It was still good, and I felt like it helped us become closer, but it just wasn't the same. Now, for some reason, that was finally changing.

Is everything okay?

I pushed my books to the side, going to pick up Mila instead and hoisting her up onto my hip so I could bounce her up and down. She was usually in bed long before now- I was starting to think she was holding out until she saw Edward, even though I didn't know if babies even did that. I was learning, but there was certainly still a great deal that I didn't know.

Mila misses you.

Just Mila?

And me. Come home. X

Less than half an hour later, I heard the garage door opening and closing.

"That's your daddy, finally," I whispered to Mila, touching the silky soft skin of her cheek. "Will that make you finally go to sleep, baby?"

"There's my girl." Edward appeared in the doorway, making a beeline for both of us.

"Which one of us are you talking to?"

"Does it matter?"

He kissed us both on the cheek, and I gladly handed Mila over when he reached for her. I loved her, but I'd do just about anything to get her to go to sleep. I was still exhausted, but I was also horny and Edward looked incredibly sexy.

"Has she been fussy?"

"Just ornery."

He nodded, swaying back and forth with her.

"You're so good with her," I marveled, watching as her eyelids started to droop.

"She just wanted her daddy."

I slid my hands around his waist, reaching under his shirt and feeling his taut skin. "I want you, too."

Edward grinned, and the baby was fast asleep in her crib in record time.

… …

Naked and sated, I didn't feel so tired anymore. Edward had brought a bottle of wine upstairs, and we had lit candles in the bedroom to make everything seem nice and cozy.

"Did you have a good night?" I asked, resting my head on Edward's shoulder.

"I did. I wish you could have come, though."

"I know…I miss going out together."

Although my dad and Sue had babysat for us a few weekends ago, Edward and I'd had dinner and a night in at home, so it wasn't quite the same. I didn't want to go out like I used to, but I did miss letting loose for a night and not having to worry about anything.

"Maybe next time. My parents have been asking to keep her overnight."

"I'm glad so many people love her. She'll never know anything other than people just…being there for her."

It made me think of my own mother, and how she wasn't there for me. Even when I had thought things were perfect…I hadn't seen the truth- that she had always been selfish and narcissistic, and I had just never known anything else. A large part of me was relieved that she was out of the picture and that she'd never hurt my daughter like she had hurt me, but sometimes I missed having a mother and allowed myself to reflect on the pain of being abandoned by mine.

"I know, babe," Edward murmured, kissing my forehead. "She's lucky, and so are we. And you know that all of those people that love her so much love you too, right? They'll always be there for her and for you."

"Yeah."

He kissed me again, and just held me for a while. Sometimes it was what I needed, and he always seemed to know.

"So…who was out tonight? Was Rosalie there?"

"Yeah, Rosalie was there with Emmett. Alice was there, but not her boyfriend. Sam and Emily, plus a few people we knew in grad school. Oh and Chelsea was there."

I rolled my eyes. "Of course she was. Chelsea is everywhere you are."

"Well, I finally got a word in with her and it felt pretty good."

I sat up straighter, interested. "Oh?"

"Yeah, she kept coming around, you know…like she always does. I just couldn't shake her. She kept leaning closer and closer…and I just asked her if she knew how desperate she was acting."

"You didn't."

"It's what I've been thinking for months! It felt so good to finally say that," he laughed.

I was laughing, too, but I was also secretly a little relieved. He'd been complaining to me about Chelsea, but he never acted on it. I was glad that had changed. I could act all I wanted like I didn't crave validation, especially when Chelsea was so gorgeous and because they had a history together. I knew he didn't want her, but it still felt good to hear him say he actually told her that. "What did she say?"

"She just said she thought we were friends, and that she didn't mean to make me uncomfortable. I told her we could be friends, but that I've got a baby mama now, and I'm pretty crazy about her."

Despite everything we'd been through and how close we had become, I found myself blushing. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm sorry I didn't say something to her sooner."

We kissed, and I took the wine glass out of his hand, placing both of ours on my nightstand. He smiled lazily. "Again?"

I giggled, pulling the sheet down from where it had been gathered around his waist. "Again."

"You're pretty insatiable these days."

"Are you complaining?"

I didn't give him any time to answer before taking him into my mouth abruptly. I felt him tense up, and reveled in his groan. His fingers threaded through my hair. "God, you're so good at that. I think you love sucking my cock just as much as I love you doing it."

I just hummed, making him throw his head back. He was twitching inside my mouth in no time, but he stopped me and pulled me up towards him. "I want to come inside you," Edward groaned, thrusting up inside me and resuming a ridiculous tempo as I ground down on him.

Even now, months after Mila was born, I sometimes felt self-conscious about my body. But never when Edward looked at me like this, when he touched me like this. I felt gorgeous, confident, and sexy. It was a whole other kind of high, to feel so sexual and beautiful in the eyes of someone else, and it made sex that much better for me.

It was like nothing I had ever felt before, and I was finally starting to acknowledge that maybe it was because we were really falling in love.

… …

Tried to fit some sexy times in because it's been a while! What do you think about Chelsea? Was what Edward said enough to finally dissuade her? Idk if I'd give up on Edward either if I were her. Thank you again! I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I hope to update Ineffable before coming back for the next one of this. But either way, I hope to see you soon.
