REMEMBER, THE HALLOWEEN PARTY WAS SENIOR YEAR OCT 31ST (because Bella didn't move to Forks until I think March junior year – right?). THIS MEANS THAT THESE TWO STORIES ARE BASED ON IF EDWARD DIDN'T LEAVE (because he left soon after her b-day in Sept.). THAT INCLUDES THIS STORY TOO. FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IN THE FIRST STORY.

The Cullens head to the Denali's for the Holiday. Lets see if it's as interesting as their time there on Halloween.

LEMONS in almost every chapter.

BPOV

So we were suppose to go to the Denali clan's house for Christmas but my dad asked me to stay home. I agreed because I knew he'd be alone if I went away. Plus the Denali clan decided to visit friends in Africa. So overall it worked out just right. I got to spend Christmas day with Charlie but Christmas Eve with Edward and the Cullens.

But now onto New Years. We are heading up to the Denali Clan's place for New Year's Eve. Charlie doesn't mind because he isn't one for parties. Neither am I but if it's a repeat of Halloween then I'm all for it. I couldn't help but smile thinking about that weekend.

We are off for 10 days for Christmas break. We don't go back to school until January 2nd. We'll probably head to Alaska the afternoon of the 30th and be home on the night of January 1st.

It was the 29th and I was at the Cullen's. I asked Charlie if I could stay at the Cullen's since we'd be leaving the next day. Sure I was 18 and I could do what I wanted, but I liked asking Charlie to show him that he is still part of my life as my parent. Although we're not leaving until mid-day tomorrow I wanted to be with Edward. Esme called and everything worked out fine.

"Edward?"

"Yes my love?"

"Are you excited about going to Alaska?"

"Of course I am. We'll be together and get to go on a mini-vacation."

"Plus, maybe we'll have a repeat of Halloween. That'd be nice. Right?"

"Oh, most definitely."

"Do vampires usually celebrate holidays like this?"

"Um, I guess it just depends. It's sort of like humans, some people make a big deal about it and others act like it's nothing."

I let out a laugh.

"What?"

"I'm one of those people that act like it's nothing. I always sat at home and did nothing every New Year's Eve. But I'd rather stay home and be by myself than go out to a party that I know I'd hate. My mom would always try and force me to go out but I didn't want to. That's a big difference between Renee and me. She likes to 'be young' and go out whereas I feel like I'm an adult trapped in a teenage body. Besides, as most know, I'm not that fond of parities."

"What about you? Over the years, did you ever do anything for New Years?"

"What do you think?"

I gave him a half smile.

"I had no one to share it with. Sure I had my family and everything but every time the ball would drop and they'd all be kissing each other, I'd just be standing there, alone."

"I feel the same way. I think that's one of the main reasons I didn't like to go out. I'd see everyone all over each other while I sat there alone, with no one, doing nothing." I paused. "But… that is all going to change. This year we're not going to be alone and will most definitely will be all over each other when that ball drops." I couldn't help but giggle.

He turned to look at me. "I guess this will be another first for us."

"I love sharing my 'firsts' with you. It'd feel wrong if I didn't."

It was silent for a few minutes. I laid on my back looking up at the ceiling while Edward played with my hair, adoring my face as usual. I smiled thinking about that.

"Edward?"

"Yes love?"

"Where do you think we'd be right now if we weren't together?"

"Well, me, I know I would still be a quiet, anti-social guy who would still have never had a girlfriend or been kissed, and still be a virgin. And most importantly, have never been in love with the most spectacular person in the world."

I turned to look at him. "I would be the exact same except you know, the girlfriend part… or maybe I would switch it up… try that out and see how that works out for me." I looked at him with a smirk.

"Don't tease."

"How do you know I'm teasing?"

"Because you are."

"Hmm. Don't be so sure." I looked at him with a teasing smile. He rolled his eyes and sat up some.

"Edward?"

"Yes?" He chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"I think it's cute how you start out every conversation by asking my name and then after I acknowledge it you then ask your question. It's adorable."

I gave him a smirk. "What I wanted to ask was what will be your New Year's resolution?"

He thought about it for a few seconds. "Maybe to turn down the protective and possessive notch a little bit."

"Really? Mm… never thought I'd hear you say that."

"It's just that I know that you don't always like it so I'm going to try and ease up on it a little bit."

I let out a laugh. "Let's see how long that lasts." He shook his head, knowing it was true – it wouldn't last long.

"What about you? Anything in particular?"

"I was thinking maybe being more open to a variety of clothing. I mean I like what I wear and I don't want to be considered one of those girls who have to dress nice every day... but Shh... don't tell Alice I said that…" He let out a small laugh. "… but considering she'll want to dress me more when I'm changed, I thought maybe being more open-minded will be good. Plus I'm sure you're tired of seeing me in my plaid shirts, jeans, and sneaks."

"Bella, if you want to change the style of what you wear, then go ahead but if you don't want to then don't. I like you in anything… or nothing…" He smirked. "… but I want you to do it for you, not to make me or Alice happy. I am happy regardless and Alice can live without having you as her Barbie doll."

"Yeah. I know. Maybe I'll just ease up on the resistance a little. Don't get me wrong, I'll still put up a fight, but I'll just be more cooperative. Oh, and if she thinks I'm not going to wear some things more than once then she's mistaken. I have some shirts and pants that I really like. I'm not going to get rid of them."

He laughed and got off the bed, "You'll have to take that up with Alice."

"Oh okay, so you're leaving me hanging, I see."

He leaned over and gave me a kiss. "There are just some things I think I should stay out of."

"Oh wow, that's a first." He turned around with a glare and I just smiled wide, teasing him.

I went over to hand Edward an envelope that I took out from my bag. "What is this love?"

"It's something I want you to take even though you'll try to give it back."

"What is it?"

"It's my air fare money. I couldn't afford to pay first class so I will owe you the difference. I can give it to you with my next paycheck."

He started to shake his head. "No, no. You are not paying."

"But Edward you paid the last time we went."

"That is because I wanted to and it was my family inviting you."

"It's just that it's a lot of money and I don't feel right taking it. You keep paying for stuff, it makes me feel dependent on you and I don't want to get that way. I don't want to be the girlfriend that depends on her boyfriend to pay for everything when they're together."

"Bella, I know that you aren't with me for money and I know that you don't like me buying or paying for things for you. I offered to pay for school and buy you a car and you said no. Most girls would jump at that chance…"

I cut in. "Well, I'm not most girls."

"You certainly are not." He smiled.

"It's just that I feel like I can't keep up."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you're rich, I certainly am not. You can buy certain things and go places and do things I can't. And I may want to join in on some of those things but I know I won't be able to because I can't afford it. I just want to be on the same level as you. I don't want to be that person that doesn't go out because although everyone else can afford to go on a big trip and do a bunch of activities while they're on an island, I can't so I'm stuck at home. And I know I'll never be on your level. It's impossible. I'm trying to make sense." I pondered for a minute. "Wow, me saying this out loud is making me realize how ridiculous I sound." I looked down.

Edward was silent for a moment, probably trying think of how to respond to what I've just said.

"Bella."

I looked up.

"I know you want to keep your independence. I'm glad you do. But you are part of my family now. We certainly didn't earn all this money, so to say. It helps that your sister sees the future and we can use that to make some money. The only person I can say truly earns it is Carlisle. You letting us buy you plane tickets or letting Alice buy you clothes or me paying for lunch when we go out, that is because we care for you and we want to pay. Do not act like you are taking our 'earned' money because you are not. Since you are part of our family, you have equal rights to the money and…"

I cut in. "Oh no, no, no. I do not want equal rights to the money. That is you and your family's money. I will compromise with you to let you buy me the plane tickets and Alice can take me shopping but that money is for you and your family. I am not going to come in and think that I want a new expensive car so I'm going to go and buy it. No way. If it's something we share or something for the family, then that's okay, but I am not going to do it for my own greediness or pleasure."

He didn't look happy.

"You are so stubborn. Please, can we not talk about this right now?"

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry."

"It's fine love. I'm glad you told me how you felt. It'd drive me mad if you didn't tell me anything at all." He paused. "Now, you will take this money back. I will not accept it."

I didn't want to but I knew that if I didn't it'd just be a long argument that ends up with him not taking my money. So I just took it back.

"I can use some of this to get myself some food while we're there."

"What? No. They're going to buy some food for you."

I let out a loud growl. He slightly laughed to himself shaking his head in disbelief.

"Can I ever win here? I feel horrible that they are going out of their way for me."

"Don't ever feel horrible about that. You are family and they are happy to get food for you."

I laughed to myself. He seemed confused.

"What's so funny?"

"Just what we're talking about." I paused. "I'm arguing with you about your family buying me food. Who argues about that?" I let out another chuckle.

"Edward, it's just odd for me."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean please do not think I am not grateful for the things you and your family have done and given me, because believe me I am. It's just that all my life I've been on my own, practically raising Renee instead of the other way around, and have been independent this whole time. I didn't have other family members to depend on. I am use to living lower-middle class with getting by, by paycheck to paycheck."

I paused, "For example, two weeks ago Angela asked if I wanted to go on a weekend ski trip with her and her family but it would be 150 dollars a person. Although I probably wouldn't have skied, it would have been nice to actually have the option to go. I couldn't go because I don't have an extra 150 dollars lying around. But that is the way my life is and so I have to live with it." I took a breath.

I knew Edward was going to interrupt. "And no, I was not going to ask Charlie for the money because I didn't want him to lend me money that wasn't 'needed'." I knew next he was gonna ask why I didn't ask him, "And no, I was not going to ask you either because this was for me and I don't want you spend money on me if it doesn't include you."

It was silent. He didn't like this.

"Edward, when I lived with Renee, Phil would treat us to stuff and although my mom loved it and soaked in every moment of it, I wouldn't always like it because he's working to get that money, why should he be spending it on me? And Renee doesn't see things like that. I'm not saying she is fully materialistic but she does acknowledge it and flaunts it." I paused. "So do you see my point of view here?"

I looked up at him, waiting for a response.

"Bella. I want you to be able to enjoy our outings and go on trips if you want to, and not feel ashamed or proud to take money. When you become a member of our family you are one of us and you can live the lifestyle like us."

"I just don't think it's fair that it's as if I'm getting an easy ride. Meaning the whole term I'm 'marrying into money' instead of deserving it."

"I understand what you're saying. But just remember this. My family loves you. They will give you anything. If you do not want certain things, I cannot force you, but please do not feel ashamed to ask for anything."

I wasn't going to press the issue anymore. "Okay." I'm just glad I spoke out.

"Well, let me just tell you one thing," I exclaimed, "… I am not using those moist towels in first-class. No way. Those symbolize the definition of high-class, think they're better than business class, people."

"Okay? That's fine I guess." He couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Make fun of me all you want."

He came over and grabbed my waist from behind me.

"Ms. Swan, now that you've gotten all that out of your system, what would you like to do tonight?"

I turned around, "Well, I'd really like to…" and then I was cut off by non-other than Alice.

"No, no… none of that. Bella, I need to get you shopping for your NYE outfit."

"Please Alice, you know the styles I like, can you just pick something out for me?" I was practically whining like a child.

"Bella, what about your New Year's resolution?" Edward leaned in and asked.

I looked at him, "One, New Year's resolutions don't start until January 1st and two, do you want to have sex or not!"

He quickly looked over at Alice, "You know what Alice, I think you'll do just fine with picking something out for Bella. Right?"

She rolled her eyes. "You two are impossible." She darted out of the room and through the front door.

"Thank god." And then I ran and jumped on him.

"You are so sexy, you know that?" he asked.

I giggled, "Edward, I'm wearing a hoodie and sweat pants."

"You're still sexy."

"And you're still ridiculous."

I was lying on top of him. I put my hands through his hair and started to kiss him.

Then I leaned up off of him and straddled his waist, sitting on his erection. I started to take off my hoodie and while I was doing that I started to sway my hips in circles, to tease him. He held down on my hips and moaned.

I was now wearing my tank top and sweat pants.

I stopped. I'm in the mood for some teasing. "You know what? For some reason I'm just not really in the mood anymore. Huh. That's weird." I got off of him and went into the bathroom. "I'm just going to get dressed in the bathroom and head home and come back in a bit. I've got some stuff to do before tomorrow."

He had the most confused look on his face. As soon as I shut the door I smiled to myself. I opened the drawer in the bathroom and pulled out lingerie that I bought. It was red. I put on the push up bra, the cute laced panties that half cupped my ass, and the other accessories that were attached to it. Then I slipped on red stilettos that I hid in there. I went over to the mirror. I look silly but hopefully he won't think so. I fluffed up my hair and put red lipstick on so everything would match. Right before I walked out I made sure I didn't have any on my teeth and giggled to myself.

I yelled out from behind the door, "Edward, I think I left my one bag downstairs in the kitchen, can you get it for me please?"

"Um, sure." He still sounded confused.

I hurried out and spread myself on his black sofa. Is this too much? I hope I don't look ridiculous. What if he's not turned on anymore?

He stared walking into the room, not seeing me yet, "Bella, I didn't see your –." Then he saw me. His mouth dropped and eyes wide.

I stood up. I was almost as tall as him with these heels on. I started to walk toward him. I'm so going to tease him. Damn, I'm actually walking steady in these things.

"Edward, is something wrong? You don't look so well." I went up to him to let him have a closer look.

I started to run my hands under his shirt. "How about I make you feel better, okay?"

He just nodded. He looked almost scared or nervous. Wow, I'm making Edward Cullen nervous. That's the first.

I laid him on the bed and then walked to the end of the bed. I got up and started to craw across on my knees very seductively. This way he had a great view of my breasts.

He was sitting up with his back against the headboard.

I finally got up to him and put my knees on each side of him straddling his waist.

I pushed myself all the way onto him to the point that my lower abdomen was fully pressed against him. I pushed myself lower to where my pussy was sitting right on top of his erection. I let out a moan. I wonder if he feels just as good.

He still hasn't said a word.

"Edward… you don't look so well, is your head throbbing?" I leaned in to whisper into his hear. "And I don't mean the one with your delicious lips. I mean the one that I will soon have my delicious lips on."

I pulled back and his eyes were even wider. I could feel his erection grow. When it did I started pressing more down and swaying my hips in circles.

"Why won't you answer me Mr. Cullen? Maybe this will help…" I took his hands and slide them from my mid-stomach region up to my breasts then over my shoulders, down my back and then to cup my ass. He let out a huge gasp as he squeezed my ass, which in turn made me lean forward on him and moan. This caused my breasts to go right into his face. I felt his cool breath on them. The whole time I grinded my hips into him, humping him fearlessly.

He has still yet to say a word to me. I got off of his lap and started to crawl off the bed. He had a clear view of my ass. I looked back and he was staring. I giggled to myself. When I got off the bed I tussled my hair and said, "Well, Mr. Cullen, since you won't corporate and answer any of my questions, I guess I'll be going." I started to walk out the door in my red lingerie and red stilettos when I felt his body push against my back causing the front of my body to slam into the door.

I let out a loud moan. "I don't think so. You're not going anywhere?"

He kept thrusting his cock into my ass, humping me. Each time I let out a loud gasp. He hasn't taken off his pants yet but it still felt amazing.

He then reached in front of me and grabbed my pussy. I first leaned back against him and then automatically fell forward to hold onto the doorknob as he rubbed my clit. When I leaned forward my ass pushed into this cock and he let out a groan. I couldn't help but laugh. I pushed my ass backward even harder causing him to let go of my hips.

"Someone's being fresh."

He recovered and looked at me. I licked my lips as I started to undo my bra. He never took his eyes off of me. Finally it unclasped and I started to slide the straps off. He darted over and slid each one down with his fingertips. His cool touch caused me to gasp. He let the bra fall to the floor and then began to trace kisses on my neck and shoulders. I leaned my head back and was in ecstasy.

I then put my hands around his mid-waist and pulled him to me, causing my breasts to press against his chest. I pulled my head back to look at him and we began to kiss. All of a sudden he put his hands on my ass, lifted me and took me to the bed. I giggled into his mouth.

I started take off my shoes…

"What are you doing?" he asked.

I blushed. "Edward, they're too heavy for my feet." I felt stupid and covered my face.

He chuckled, "It's no problem. I can take them off for you."

"Sorry. If you like them on, I can try to do it but I'll probably get tired."

"No love, you are plenty to look at, I don't need shoes to turn me on. You walk into the room and I'm already turned on. Besides, I need you energized."

I smiled and brought his lips to mine. I wasted no time and stuck my tongue in his mouth. He started sucking on my tongue. It felt incredible. I let out a moan.

"God Edward, you taste so good."

"You don't taste so bad yourself." I giggled.

I took Edward's hand and glided it down, over my right breast, down my stomach, and into my panties. Then let go of his hand but didn't let go of his skin. I trailed my fingers up his arm, over his shoulder and cupped his face.

He took his lips off of mine and trailed down my neck, sucking on my neck. He continued to finger me the whole time.

"Uh, Edward."

I pulled his face back up to kiss him and then his jaw and his neck. He started to go faster and I let out a loud moan.

"Oh my god, Edward."

I squeezed my eyes and started to rock my hips. He did this for a few minutes while sucking my neck and breasts.

"I'm gonna cum, Edward."

He let go of my lips and went toward the bottom of the bed. He slid off my panties and started sucking on my clit. I immediately gripped the bed sheets and let out a small scream. He continued to suck it and thrust into me.

"Edward!… Edward!…" and then I arched my back and screamed. I continued to rock my hips as Edward licked me clean. When he was done I continued to pant but he brought his lips to mine. I could taste me on him and that made it hotter.

He tried to rub my clit again. I grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?"

I blushed. "It's just that…. it's still sensitive. Give me a few minutes. Besides, I want to do you now." I couldn't stop blushing.

He kissed my forehead and laid next to me.

"You know what I was thinking… I thought I'd take your cock and…"

He cut me off. "Shit, my family's home."

I gasped. "Oh no, no, no. I have to get changed. And Damn it Edward, I didn't get to satisfy you yet. Next time I'm doing you first, just incase." I said while growling. He gave me a look like snap out of it.

I started darting around the room to get my clothes. I didn't want Emmett to barge in.

"Bella, it's okay."

"No, you know Emmett will just barge in here hoping to walk in on something. What if he has his camera?"

I had my clothes in my hand and went into the bathroom to change. Edward had put his pants and a shirt on.

We went downstairs to say hi.

"Hey guys," Jasper said.

"Hey," I replied.

"What you guys up to?" Emmett asked.

"Nothing really. Just hanging out."

"Oh yeah, is that why your shirt is on backwards and Edward has red lipstick all over his mouth and neck?"

I quickly looked at Edward and he did and I looked at my shirt and it was on backwards. I was beat red.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

I wanted to die. I just sighed and walked back upstairs to fix myself up.

"You're an ass," Edward told him.

"So I've been told." He just laughed and headed to the living room.

We were in his room and I was fixing my hair. He was wiping his face with a towel.

Emmett barged in. "Hey Bella, Esme wanted to make you some dinner. What do –."

He stopped talking. I looked up to see why.

I saw his eyes looking at the floor. I looked where he was and I saw that I forgot to pick up my panties! And next to them were my one stiletto, half under the bed. Then he looked over under Edward's couch and my matching bra was there. I got big eyed. How the hell did I miss that stuff?

I gasped and Emmett looked at me.

"Oh my god…" he started to say. I knew what was going to come next.

"Emmett don't!"

He yelled, "Oh my god guys, Bella has red panties and matching bra up here on the floor! And matching stilettos!" He laughed really loud. "How awesome is this?"

Emmett was too caught up in his joy that he didn't see Edward run next to him and toss him over the balcony. I ignored it cause I knew Emmett would be fine.

"Ass."

"It's alright love."

"Yeah I know. Anymore I just shrug it off… only because it's your family. He better not try that stuff at your cousins' again this weekend. Shit will hit the fan if he does."

He couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm serious."

"I believe you." I think he did too.

The Cullens are on their way to Alaska. Lets see how heated things get this time.
