AN: Sooooo, I know I failed you guys miserably, and I apologise profusely for lack of update-age, but real life's a biotch... On the plus side, I have a beta, Daniiface, who beta'd this in ONE NIGHT! (Yes she is AWESOME and no you can't have her)! I do promise however, that after this week, I will update the last couple of chapters in quick succession and move on to the next project I have swimming around my mind...ENJOY! =]

P.s. all italics are Bella's thoughts.

Disclaimer: It's not mine.

The rest of the evening proved to be uneventful. After my shower I traipsed downstairs where the rest of the family were gathered. After I ate dinner, I spent the remainder of my time hanging out with Alice and Rosalie, while meticulously avoiding Edward. The tension hung thick, and I was sure that everyone had heard what had transpired between us. It left me feeling a raw, so I thought it best just to let myself calm down before I spoke to him. Alice offered to give me a lift home, which I gladly accepted. The car ride over to my house was mostly silent, with Alice trying to make small talk, but with me being unresponsive, she let the silence fill the car. When we arrived, I offered her quiet thanks and moved to exit her car. Before closing the passenger door, I asked her to tell Edward that I needed a day or two to get my thoughts in order. She nodded her head in understanding, wished me a goodnight, and sped off into the darkness.

Here I was, ten days later, on my daily jog around the woods. I knew better than to venture deep into the woods, so I stayed on the outskirts. My heart was pounding furiously and my legs were crying at me, begging me to stop or at least slow down, but I was on a mission. I was determined to pound out my frustrations into the ground that flew beneath my feet. I found a good path to run on that would take me a good distance from the house, and would turn me around so I ended up back at home. I slowed down as I approached the front door, and the thoughts that I had fought so hard to keep at bay during my run came back at me with a vengeance.

Why hasn't he called?? It's been almost two weeks and not a word! I know I said I needed a couple of days but 10 fucking days?!?! God, I miss him so much. Bella, just suck it up. Stop being so stubborn and just call him! Of course you can't call him,herejectedyou...just wait it out,he'llcome crawling back.

I was inside the house at this point and I shook my head to dispel the arguments I was having with myself. I felt like a real head case, talking to myself as if I were two people.

Maybe I am going crazy. After all, I am lusting after afreakin' vampire...

I was still breathing hard, my whole body flushed from the run, so I took off my top leaving me clad only in my sports bra and running shorts. I went into the kitchen, grabbed an apple and leaned against the fridge. I was momentarily lost in my thoughts when a knock at the door startled me. I scampered to the door, opening it to find Edward standing there in all his bronze haired, tight abed, ruby lipped and honey eyed goodness. I should have said something, but my senses relieved me of their duties for a second or two, so I stood there gawking at him.

"Edward...hi, what are-"

I barely finished my sentence before he crushed me to his chest and captured my lips in a searing kiss that sent heat flooding all the way to my toes.

Oh god I've missed his lips...

"Not that I didn't enjoy that hello, but we're still standing outside. People can see us, why don't you come inside?" I asked, pulling away from his perfect lips.

He set me down and I guided him inside the house and shut the door, but not before making sure that no-one had been in the vicinity to witness our public display of intense affection. I turned around and gasped at the powerful gaze Edward's eyes held over me. Slowly, they travelled downwards from my eyes, lingering a second more at my chest before continuing their descent. My face heated up with a blush, fiery hot from being openly oogled by Edward. His eyes snapped back up to my face and we stood perfectly still, just staring at each other.

"Bella-" his voice was low. I knew he was turned on by my state of undress, but there were things that we needed to talk about.

"Edward, before we get carried away, we need to talk."

I feel like such afreakin' grown up in this relationship...

"I know Bella," he sighed. "Let's go sit down." He turned to go into the living room, but on second thought turned back to face me.

"Could you please put a t-shirt on or something, it's a bit distracting you looking like that."

"Uh-uh, no way! You're the one that chose to come visit me at this moment in time..."

I see the beginnings of a TWP moment in action here...

"...besides, I haven't finished stretching. We can talk while I stretch, so I don't cramp up," I grinned.

He seemed to argue with himself, unsure whether he wanted to be a gentleman or gawk at me like a horny teenager, while I stretched in what was blatantly going to be seductive poses. The horny teenager won out, and he slumped back graciously into the couch. I sat on the floor cross-legged, trying to compose my thoughts to see where I could start the conversation.

Ok, no need to act like a love-sick girlfriend. We're confident, mature, and cool. Just calmly ask him why he took so long.

"What took you so long, Edward?" I whined.

Well so much for confident, mature and cool!

"I'm not entirely sure. I was so angry with myself for making you cry that night, I thought I would give you extra time," he answered.

I had started with a few stretches; holding on to my knee, turning left and right to stretch out my back.

"I wasn't crying," I denied, turning back to face him.

"Bella, vampire hearing, remember?" He retorted.

Duh! I bet everyone heard me, shit...

He answered my thoughts, confirming that everyone had indeed heard me and given him hell for it. It made me smile on hearing that his family stuck up for me, besides my furious blushing at being caught out lying. I moved on to calf stretches, extending my leg forward while keeping the other crossed. I bent forward, touching the toes of the extended leg.

"OK, so that explains five days at most. What did you do with the other five?"

I was answered by silence so I looked up to see his eyes trained on my chest.

Well, well, Eddiekins...see something you like?

"Edward?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

His eyes snapped back up to my face, and I swear if he could blush, he would have been fucking beetroot!

"Well, Alice kept having different visions of what would happen if I came over," he answered with an audible gulp.

Oh shit, that is one flustered vamp! Time to crank up the heat...

I stood up after stretching both legs. I walked over to the stereo, very aware of Edward's eyes following my every movement. Pressing play, I sauntered back over to him, my hips swaying in time with the music.

"And what did those visions entail?" I purred.

His eyes visibly darkened, and he cleared his throat before answering.

"Her visions kept changing between you being very happy to see me, and you being so angry about my behaviour, that you flipped out. I tried giving you a day extra to calm down, but you seemed to get angrier the longer I stayed away."

I started to move my hips in small circles, contemplating my next move.

What the hell was it that Rosalie said? Oh yea, I remember...

I turned to the side, keeping my ass within his view, but continuing my movements.

"So you bitched out, 'cause you were scared of a mere mortal," I taunted.

His eyes narrowed as he made to get up from the couch, unhappy about my teasing. He stood up and stayed where he was, about half a meter away from me.

"Bitched out? Me? Never that! Although, I do seem to recall that the gateway of communication opens to a two-way street." As he took two steps towards me, the air crackled with lust and anticipation of the direction that our little game was heading.

"Hmmm, yea, it does," I hummed as I bent over before coming back up slowly, "but you should know by now that I'm stubborn, and besides, you're the one that threw me aside as if not affected by my body."

"Trust me when I say this Bella, your body definitely affects me," and as if to prove a point, his eyes travelled slowly down my body.

I was once again so turned on by his blatant eye-fucking, that I reached out in front of me, fisted the front of his shirt, and pulled him towards me closing the remaining distance between us. His hands immediately circled around my waist, and our lips were mere inches from each other.

"Bella,-"

I didn't give him time to finish his sentence, and attacked his lips with mine. In no time, I invaded his mouth with my tongue and was rewarded with a groan from him. Our tongues began a frantic dance, but his hands were too stationary for my liking, so I reached down with one hand while keeping the other firmly fisted in his hair, and guided his hand from where it was resting on my hip to the curve of my ass. His posture stiffened slightly before relaxing, and he began to gently massage the flesh there.

"Bella, should we-" he said, breaking off from our kiss.

Again, I cut him off mid sentence with a searing kiss, and after a few seconds he responded with another groan, and even proceeded to knead my ass a bit harder. I hitched one leg over his hip in an attempt to get closer to him. He lifted me up by my ass, so I wrapped the other leg around him, and ground down onto his hips. I could feel the evidence of his arousal dig into me, and it caused a rush of wetness to soak my panties.

Oh.fuck.me.please...

I was quickly running out of oxygen so I pulled away, and he began raining wet kisses across my jaw and down my neck.

"Mmm Bella, you taste so good."

"Fuck, Edward, let's go up to my room?" I groaned.

Before I could blink, I found myself being placed gently in the center of my bed. The sudden change in momentum was disorientating so I closed my eyes, allowing my brain to catch up with my body. When I had recovered, I pulled Edward towards me to resume where we left off. Gingerly, he raised one hand to cup my left breast, causing my back to arch into his touch. He placed tender kisses on my neck, stopping at the hollow of my throat to gently suckle on it while simultaneously using the pad of his thumb to flick my rock hard nipple. I ran my hands over his back, my fingers mapping out the contours of his muscles and their movement. I felt the urge to be closer to him and was getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of skin contact. I gripped the hem of his shirt and pulled upwards, hinting to him that I wanted it off, and without fuss or fanfare, he obliged.

Well that was bloody easier than I thought!

My eyes travelled over his incredible physique, reluctantly returning to his face when I heard him chuckle.

"If you're done ogling, I believe it's your turn," he smirked.

I sat up, unabashedly pulling my top off, and I felt rather than saw his eyes taking in my near naked form. I didn't have time to comment on it, as I felt something very cold run across my nipple. I gasped in pleasant surprise, looking down to see Edward's thumb running over my pebbled nipple. He pushed me back gently on the bed and continued his massage on my breasts.

"Bella, you're so beautiful. I've never seen anyone who can compare to your radiance." He placed a gentle kiss on my lips.

"You're perfect," he kissed my chin.

"You're breathtaking," he kissed the hollow of my throat.

"You're incredibly sexy," he kissed the swell of my breast, and I sucked in a breath.

"And you taste absolutely fan-fucking-tastic." With that, he placed a kiss atop my nipple, before engulfing it in his cool mouth. I gasped, a moan escaping my lips. His words sent me into a frenzy, and his lips had me squirming on the bed.

"Oh god Edward, that feels so good...don't stop," I mewled.

Alternating between slow licks and wet kisses, he made sure that both breasts received the same treatment. I was feeling so many things at once, the ache between my legs reaching an all time high and had me squirming in bliss.

"Oh fuck, Edward, I need you so bad."

He raised his head, looking at me through hooded eyes before answering.

"All in good time baby, all in good time," he lowered his head to continue his earlier administrations.

"Unnggh...fuck! Edward, more please..."

"Patience is a virtue, Bella."

"Fuck patience Edward, and just do me already!"

He leaned forward, whispering in my ear, "You know, your potty mouth is proving to be quite a turn-on," before he licked my earlobe.

SHIT! Who is this dude and what has he done with my frigid boyfriend?

I didn't even have time to finish that train of thought, because I felt a rush of cold air where I shouldn't have. I sat up quickly, staring down at my naked body, before glancing to the left to find the remains of what used to be my running shorts and underwear. I looked back at Edward with widened eyes.

"Edward! What the fuck? You can't just rip my shit up-"

He shut me up with a kiss, and then he purred seductively in my ear, "Shhhh, baby I'll buy you a new one. Just relax and let me make you feel good."

He kissed just below my ear, nibbling softly on the sensitive skin there before licking the length of my throat and blowing cold air against the wet flesh. Goosebumps trailed along my skin, sending a delicious shiver down my spine.

"Bella, you don't know how good your skin tastes. I've never tasted anything this good before."

I hope he doesn't expect me to answer him,causeI don't think I can even form a sentence with him doing that!

Suddenly, I realized that he still had on his jeans so I moved to remedy that situation. I unbuttoned them and began to move them over his hips when I felt his hands stop mine.

"Bella, can this just be about you? I need time to build up my control of us being together like this but I don't think I can handle us both being naked."

I nodded my head in agreement and he kissed my lips softly.

"Now, where was I? Oh yes, I remember."

With that, he moved downwards to kiss my stomach and he dipped his cool tongue into my belly button. I moaned and fisted my hands into his lustrously thick hair. I could feel his hands massaging my thighs as his kisses inched lower down my stomach. He hands reached my knees and he pushed them apart so he could lie in between my legs. He raised his head and inhaled deeply. When he opened his eyes, I was shocked at the burnt caramel colour that they had adopted.

"God Bella, you smell exquisite...I don't...I can't..." he rambled.

"What is it Edward? Just tell me," I pleaded.

"I don't want to hurt you," he whispered while lowering his head.

I cupped his face in my hands and lifted his head until he looked as me again.

"Edward, baby, you could never hurt me, well you could potentially, but I trust ya!"

He chuckled before placing a kiss on my hipbone. I heard him murmur an 'I love you' but before I had time to reply, I felt his cool breath on my slit. I gasped my hands flew into his hair as he placed a soft kiss on my nether lips.

"Mmmm...Edward," I whispered breathlessly.

He took a languid lick up my wet sex before letting loose a growl.

"Fuck Bella, I was seriously mistaken. You taste like fucking nectar down here...fuck, tastes so good!"

I blushed at his words and scratched at his scalp lazily. As I looked down at him, I was filled with so much love for him that I thought I was going to burst.

If he asked me to marry him right now, I would say yes. And he hasn't even done anything yet...

I was snapped back to the present by Edward using his tongue to separate my lips. He probed my opening with the tip, moving upwards to draw tight circles around my clit.

"Oh fuck Edward!...Please don't stop," I pleaded, trying to grind his face closer into me.

He used one hand to still my hips and his other to massage my thigh, before moving it closer to join his mouth. I felt his finger slide into my entrance without much resistance. The feeling of his cold temperature meeting with my overheated flesh sent my hips arching clear of the bed.

"Unngh, Edward...Oh god I'm so close."

He added another finger, curling them upwards and hitting the delicious spot that I had once feared a myth, making me feel like I was exploding from the inside out.

"FUUUCCKKK!!...oh god Edward...Unngghhh."

My toes curled from the effect of the orgasm that had me orbiting towards the sky. My entire body felt like slow licks of fire and ice were dancing across my skin. I floated back down towards earth on a cloud of bliss, and I opened my eyes to see Edward kissing his way back up my body.

"God, Bella that was the most amazing sight I've ever witnessed. Who knew you were such a screamer," he grinned, obviously proud of himself at bringing me to orgasmic bliss.

I couldn't even think of a witty comeback, so I wrapped my hands around his neck and tried to pour all the love I was feeling into a kiss. We lay there just kissing each other softly for a while, until I decided to deepen the kiss. Pushing him backwards on the bed, I straddled his legs, grinding my hips down onto his erection and was rewarded with a loud moan. I kissed his chin and all along his jaw, before taking his earlobe between my lips and nibbling on it. He placed his hands on my hips, and ground me down harder onto his hardness, causing a fresh wave of wetness to be released. I hummed into his ear, and was very stunned when he pushed me off him and was across the room in the blink of an eye.

What the...oh god, not again!

"Edward, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rush you like that...I'll behave, just don't leave."

He ran a hand through his hair, a look of trepidation crossing his face, before disappearing. It was gone so quickly, I could have imagined it.

"No baby, Charlie is back. I'm so sorry I didn't hear him earlier, I was a bit preoccupied," he replied sheepishly.

Charlie? What is he doing home so early?

I jumped off the bed, and frantically sought after my clothes. I put on my clothes in a rush and was almost out of the door when Edward called me back.

"Bella, you should go to the bathroom to wash up a bit. You look...like you've been busy," he smirked.

"Yeah well, you don't look too hot yourself!" I commented while running my hands through his hair that was sticking out at all ends.

"Ha. Ha. You should get going; he's wandering if you're home."

"Alright, I'm going! See you later?" I asked.

"As soon as he's asleep," he confirmed.

"God, I'm almost 19! I think I should be allowed to see my boyfriend whenever I choose," I mumbled. "All this sneaking around..."

He chuckled and kissed me before leaping graciously out of my window. I watched him with a smile, then turned to go into the bathroom.

I really, really like that boy...
