BPOV

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Charlie had left early to go fishing. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the sun was shining through my window when I woke up this morning. However, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that my Edward wasn't beside me. In his place was a small note in his beautiful script…

Bella,

You look so much like an Angel I didn't want to wake you. I'll be holding you in my arms before you have time to miss me.

Forever Yours,

Edward

I truly love this man. I stretched my limbs and climbed out of bed. Actually, it was perfect that Edward was gone this morning. If I hurried, I would already be dressed before he returned. So, I grabbed my bag of toiletries and ran the bathroom. Shaving my legs was a necessity. The skirt Alice picked out was shorter than I was used to. Also, I wanted to wash my hair. I needed to be sure that I was tempting to Edward in every way before I left him to go see my Jacob.

While I was in the shower I ran over the plans for the day. Jacob was expecting me around 11:00AM. He knew that I was bringing Angela, so he invited Quil to come along. I believe the only reason he did this was to occupy Angela so he and I could talk. It would be hard to mention the treaty, werewolves & vampires without Angela thinking we've lost our minds.

I dried my hair and walked to my bedroom to change. Alice hung my wardrobe on the inside of my closet door so Edward wouldn't see it. I dressed in my short, short, short white, cotton skirt. The top was a blue & white striped halter that didn't leave much to the imagination. Luckily, I was wearing my bathing suit underneath. We were just going to the beach, so I decided to put on a pair of flip flops and not the strappy wedge heals that Alice wanted me to wear. I threw some sunblock, sunglasses & a towel in my bag and went downstairs.

The picnic basket that Angela let me borrow was almost packed when a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around me.

"Mmm. Hi." He always made me breathless.

"Good morning, beautiful. You're looking rather…sexy today." His mouth was grazing my ear. I wanted to forget all about my trip to see Jake and stay right there with Edward all day. "If I would have known that sunny days made you dress like this, I would have moved us to Hawaii a long time ago."

Breathe Bella! "Well, I'm going on a picnic with Angela today…if you don't mind." I tried to look up at him with pleading eyes. But, the second I looked in his eyes I lost my train of thought.

"You don't need my permission, Bella. It would be good for you to enjoy this beautiful day outside. That's a lot of food for you two small girls, though." He peaked into the basket.

"Well, actually…we're going to eat our lunch at the beach." I rested my hands on his chest never taking my eyes off of his.

"Which beach?" He asked. His smile had faded and the anger in his voice was becoming obvious.

"La Push…"

"No!" He snapped. He was across the room in an instant with his arms folded across his chest. "You're packing all that food to feed your mongrel friends, aren't you?"

"Don't snap at me, Edward! I haven't seen Jake in a long time and I want to go to the beach today! Angela will be with me, anyway. What's the big deal?" Anger was clear in my voice. I was leaning back with my elbows resting on the kitchen counter. My ranting had caused my chest to rise and fall quickly…bringing much needed attention to my breasts.

"What's the problem?" Edward was mocking me. "That is the problem!" He was pointing up and down at my body. "There is no way you're going to the beach dressed like that!"

"What do you suggest I wear, Edward? My sweats and a t-shirt? It's 85 degrees outside! This is perfectly acceptable!" I turned my back to him and started adding the rest of the contents to the basket. I knew I should be angry with him, but I couldn't help but smile.

His hands gripped my waist and his body pressed into me. His voice was much more calm when he spoke again. "It's just…you never wear this for me. Why him?" His lips found their way to my neck. My head tilted to the side and my knees felt like they were going to fail me. "Hmm?"

"I just…" Breathe "wanted to wear something that would be easy to get out of."…oops. Stupid!!

"Excuse me?!?!" Edward had stopped his assault on my neck. He was breathing heavily even though he didn't need to. This was going to be bad. "You wanted to be able to get out of it easily?!?!"

I tried to spin around and look at him, but his hands were clutching my hips…hard. "I just mean that I wanted something manageable if we decided to go for a swim, Edward. You had to notice that I'm wearing my bathing suit under this. It was a bad choice of words…I'm sorry. You were distracting me."

His grip loosened. "I still don't like this idea. You look very,…tempting, my love." His lips were back on my neck. "I don't want to think about the thoughts that will be going through his head. The Lord only knows the impure things I'm thinking."

My eyes fluttered shut as his lips wandered down my neck. He pulled the straps of my halter to the side and kissed down my shoulder. My heavy breathing was embarrassing. I raised my left hand and tangled it in his hair making him moan. Oh, God. Why did he have to make those sounds? He turned me around, suddenly, and attacked my lips. He had be backed up against the counter with him body pressing into mine. This kiss wasn't as reserved as most of the others. It was hot. My mind was telling me to stop him and leave for La Push, but my body wanted more!

"Edward, I really should be going." I didn't now if I was convincing him or myself.

"So soon?" He asked. His hands went down to my thighs and lifted me onto the counter. Oh, Sweet Jesus! Edward's eyes were staring into my soul, "I just wanted a kiss." Just like that, his lips were back on mine. My legs wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer. His lips traveled to my jaw and I let out a soft moan.

"You're right, Bella." Edward grinded his hips into mine. "I should let you go. It's nearly lunch time." He pushed his hips into mine, again, harder.

"Oh, God." I managed to choke out. My eyes were closed and my head was leaning against the cabinet behind me. I could feel his evident arousal in between my legs and couldn't manage a coherent sentence. "Please,….don't stop."

Edward's lips were in the hollow of my neck and going further south. "Mmm. You taste so good, Bella." I felt his tongue glide up and down the center of my breasts. Fuck! Focus, Bella! Focus!

Just when I had mustered up the strength to stop him, he gripped my ass and picked me up never leaving my chest. I loved the feeling of being in his strong arms. I began to pout when he let me down, but that was before I realized he had laid me on the kitchen table. My legs were still wrapped around his waist and his hands were traveling up my thighs.

"Mmm…Edward. That feels soooo good!" I could feel that my bathing suit bottoms were almost soaked all the way through. His touch was electrifying.

"You're going to be the death of me, Bella." His hands lifted my shirt and his tongue snaked its way down my stomach. He had never gone this far with me before. I loved it! With his tongue nearing the hem of my skirt, his hands were dangerously close to where I wanted them most.

"Touch me, Edward. Please…just touch me!" I would have been embarrassed if I weren't so turned on. I've only dreamt of Edward being so forward with me. He lifted my skirt and his lips brushed against the top of my suit.

"Mmm…baby, you smell so good." He looked up at me with his coal black eyes. I should have been frightened, but the look he gave me wasn't one of hunger. It was lust! "You sure you still want to go to La Push?" He gave me that sexy smirk and smiled back.

"I'll stay home if you promise not to stop." Just then my phone started ringing at the precise moment his did. At first, neither of us paid much attention. He kept laying little baby kisses below my belly button. But, those stupid phones just wouldn't stop. They were practically screaming at us!

Edward stood up, reached into his pocket and looked at his phone. "It's Alice." He said. I walked to the counter to check my phone and noticed that Angela had called. Shit! I'm late! I sent her a text message that said, "Sorry I'm late! I'll be right there to get you!" and grabbed all of my stuff. I was getting ready to say my reluctant goodbyes to Edward when I noticed that silly grin on his face.

"What?" I asked, smiling back.

"Um.", He grabbed the picnic basket and bag out of my hands. "You may want to freshen up in the bathroom before you leave."

"Why? I'm sure I look like a mess, but I'm already late. Angela isn't going to care what I look like." I grabbed for the picnic basket only to have it pulled away from me.

"You look beautiful, Bella." He stepped closer and put his lips to my ear. "But, I can smell you across the room. I don't want that mutt to think you're that excited to see him." He hooked his finger in the waistband of my skirt. "That's just for me." Edward gave me another look with his crooked smile and walked into the living room.

How mortifying.
