A/N: Hey everyone! Thank you to all that reviewed the last chapter. I love all of you! You rock my socks off.
Chapter 4
I am so tired!
Who would have thought that an uneventful surveillance would make me this tired? But then again, I have never had to do one with Agent Edward Cullen. God that man was beautiful!
'Hell yeah he is! And you had to go and be responsible and do your job! Seriously, I am so disappointed with you.'
'She made the right decision. Getting this job done right is more important than getting laid. No lay off! And I happen to be very proud of her.'
'Of course you would. You're a prude!'
Wow, I never realized how much hostility there was between my inner skank and inner prude.
'Hey! I am not a prude! I'm just the responsible part. Lord knows what would happen if I wasn't here.'
'Yeah, we'd be getting some action!'
I just shook my head a little, hoping it would wake me up. I was actually aware of the battle being waged between the different sides of my brain. I need to get my ass home and get some sleep, but I was still about 2 miles away from my apartment complex. Thankfully the roads were practically empty so I didn't have to deal with traffic. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the same car that had been there for the last 20 minutes.
"Weird."
I tried not to let my paranoid and exhausted mind run away with me. I kept my eyes forward and I saw my apartment complex come into view. I turned my right blinker on and looked in the rear view mirror again to see the car behind me with the right blinker flickering. Something didn't feel right about this. I tried to remember how long the car had been following me but I was too tired to remember when they first started following me. I looked at my passenger seat and saw my .45 sitting there in my holster. At least I had something to defend myself with if I needed it.
I pulled in to my parking space and saw the car pull in to a spot further down the row. The windows were slightly tinted so I couldn't make out who was driving. But there was something oddly familiar about the car. My heart started to beat a little faster. I kept my head facing forward so they wouldn't be able to tell that I was watching them. Slowly, I reached over to my passenger seat and took my gun out of the holster. I was so focused on trying not to look like I was doing anything, that I didn't even notice the driver get out of the car and start to walk towards my window. The sudden sound of knocking on my window made me jump from my seat and I immediately had my gun aimed and ready.
"Whoa! Easy there Swan. I come in peace!"
Edward's melodic voice snapped me out of my attack mode. I lowered my gun and put it back in the passenger seat. I placed one hand over my heart and tried to slow my breathing. I pulled my keys out of the ignition, grabbed my holster and got out of my car.
"Jesus Edward! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Yeah well you almost shot me, so I think we're even."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I realized that I had all of your paperwork in my briefcase and I thought you might want it so you could look over it before we go back out tonight."
"Thank you, but why didn't you just call me?"
"I don't have your number, otherwise I would have."
"Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot to give that to you."
"No worries. Besides, now I know where you live so I can stalk you."
"I think you might want to stalk someone that isn't a good shot."
"Hmmm, you have a good point. But it's more exciting when there is a threat of being maimed. I'm an adrenaline junkie."
I gave a small laugh and smiled up at him. He is so damn cute when he's trying to be funny.
"So did you want to come up and have some coffee or something? We could talk more about our plan of attack tonight."
Edward pressed his lips together and looked like he was thinking pretty hard on the offer.
'What the hell? It's not like you asked him to cut off his junk! It's coffee, and if he plays his cards right, maybe a little S&M.'
'Only you would lump coffee together with S&M.'
"Yeah, sure. Coffee does sound pretty good right now."
I locked my car and lead Edward towards my apartment.
"This is a really nice apartment building."
"I know. I love it. And my neighbors are great. They are a bunch of characters. Sometimes it's like I have my own soap opera."
We arrived at my apartment door and I unlocked it. It swung open and the smell of home had me at ease. Edward stepped in after me and looked around.
"Your place is great. You have a lot of room here."
"And it's all mine. I used to live with Alice, Jasper's wife. She moved out when she and Jasper got engaged. Ever since I've had it all to myself."
I turned back to the door to close it and put the chain and dead bolt in place. The sound of Edward moving towards me caught my attention. I turned back to face him, only to have him push me up against the door. My breath caught in my throat as my eyes met his. Such a beautiful green color.
"Edward, what are you doing?"
He didn't respond. The look on his face was something I had only seen in movies. His eyes were beginning to turn a brighter shade of green. His arms flanked my head as he leaned closer to me. I could smell the mint on his breath and the musk of his cologne.
"Edward?"
"Don't talk."
I was about to protest when his lips came down on mine.
'See! I told you! Coffee and S&M go hand in hand! HA!'
'Oh shut up!'
His mouth moved hungrily against mine. I sighed into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. Edward moved his hands from the door and placed them on my hips and pulled me closer to him. The contact was electric. His tongue crept out of his mouth and touched my bottom lip. I opened my mouth to allow him in. My tongue touched his and I was seeing stars behind my closed eye lids. Edward's hands moved from my hips and around to cup my ass. I pulled my lips away from his. His eyes opened and I gasped at the passion that I saw there.
I had a choice. I could either end this now or I could throw myself head first into the deep end.
'Head first! Head first!'
'Oh what the hell, you're not on the clock anymore. You two have at it and get some of this out of your systems. Just don't come crying to me if it makes working with him awkward.'
Although my brain made a good point, I decided I would act now and deal with the repercussions later. To hell with protocol. Before I could second guess my decision, I pulled Edwards lips back to mine. He groaned as I bit lightly on his bottom lip. His hands started to squeeze my ass.
If this is going to be awkward, I might as well make it count. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist, never breaking the kiss. The bulge in his pants was now rubbing against my core. The feeling was almost erotic. So close, but yet so much in between us. I was suddenly aware of my back hitting the plush cushions of my sofa. Edward's weight pressed me into the soft material. His hands slid up my sides to cup my breasts. For some reason, this action brought me out of my lust induced haze. I broke my mouth away from his.
"Wait. Do you think we're moving too fast?"
'NO! Why would you do this to me? You're taking her side!'
Edward let out a rough sigh and sat up. He ran a hand through his hair and looked down at the carpet. I sat up and straightened out my shirt.
"Yeah, we might be. I'm sorry Bella, I don't know what came over me."
"You don't need to apologize Edward. If I remember correctly, I was kissing you back."
We sat looking at each other for a moment. The tension in the room was thick.
'Come on woman! You have a Greek God sitting next to you and all you're going to do is look at him? You disgust me.'
I couldn't take it anymore. My inner slut was right. Edward is gorgeous and as much as I liked looking at him, touching him was better.
"Fuck it."
I launched myself at Edward, my lips covering his. His hands went to both sides of my face and held me in place. The kiss was unyielding. I ran my hands up his back. I could feel the muscles flexing under my fingers. Edward followed suit and began his own exploration. His ran his hands softly across my arms and down my back. His fingers played with the hem of my shirt. I could tell by the light tugging that he was contemplating what to do with the offending garment.
'Why pussyfoot around now? Let's show him how it's done.'
I let my inner slut take over. I pulled myself away from Edward long enough to grab the hem of his shirt and pull it up over his head. I had already seen him with his shirt off, but now the lighting was better and so was the view. He was very toned and I thanked the FBI fitness program for that one. I tore my eyes away from his body and looked back up to his eyes.
He had that beautiful crooked smile on his face and a devious look in his eye. His hands grabbed my shirt and pulled it off. I smiled at the look on his face when he saw my pink and black lace bra. It was like a kid on Christmas morning. He didn't know what to do first. His lips met mine again, his tongue gliding across my lips to deepen the kiss. I opened my mouth and let my tongue mingle with his. My hands ran up and down his back. His muscles felt even better with the shirt off. Edward leaned forward, pushing my back to the sofa again.
Edward trailed his lips across my face and placed kisses along my jaw and down my neck, finding my sensitive pulse points. I ran my hands through his hair and grabbed a handful of it, tugging softly. An animalistic growl came from his throat and he lightly bit my neck. His tongue darted out of his mouth to lick the same area. I hissed at the shock of how great it felt. The feeling was the perfect mixture of pleasure and pain.
I felt like my body was vibrating. That's when I realized I was actually vibrating. I groaned out of irritation and grabbed my phone out of my back pocket. I looked at the caller ID and saw that the chief was calling me. I gave Edward an apologetic look. He pushed himself off of me in to a sitting position.
"Sorry, the chief is calling. He has the worst timing I swear."
"You better answer it."
"I could ignore it and just say I was sleeping."
"No, just answer it. I'll still be here."
I smiled and flipped open my phone.
"This is Agent Swan."
"You don't need to be so formal with me Bella. You aren't on the clock now."
"Sorry Uncle Charlie. I just get in to the habit."
I looked up to see Edward giving me a questioning look.
"That's alright. I just wanted to call to make sure everything went well with Agent Cullen. He isn't giving you any crap is he?"
"No, he's great."
Edward still had a dumbfounded look on his face and I found it very entertaining.
"Well good. But the second he steps out of line, you let me know. I know I'm not supposed to play favorites or anything, but you are my niece, I have a right to if I so choose."
"Thanks Uncle Charlie. But I am beat, so I'm going to hit the hay."
"Alright squirt, sweet dreams. Oh and I want you to be in at headquarters by 7 pm, okay."
"Got it. See you tonight. Love you."
"I love you too kiddo."
I closed my phone and looked up at Edward. His expression still hadn't changed.
"You're related to the chief?"
"Yeah, he's my uncle. But we don't really talk about it because then people will get the wrong idea. Emmett and Jasper are the only others that know."
"Wow. That's a lot to take in."
"Sorry, I just don't talk about it because I don't want people to think I got to where I did because of being the chief's niece. I had to work hard to get to where I am."
"Bella, you don't have to justify anything to me. I've done my research and your work speaks for itself."
I felt the blush creep in to my cheeks. I didn't handle compliments well.
"Um, so that was kind of a mood killer."
"I know. Like I said, he has really bad timing."
Edward grabbed his shirt from the floor and put it back on.
'Great! Just great! Cock blocked by your own uncle. Remember to get him socks for Christmas this year.'
I looked down and realized that my shirt was still off. Suddenly ashamed of my current state of undress, I tried to cover myself with my hands while I searched for my shirt. I found it slung on the back of the couch and quickly put it on.
"I should get going. I need to sleep before we go back out tonight. Can't fall asleep on survielence. I'll just take a rain check on that coffee."
At that point, I had completely forgotten about asking him up for coffee.
"Yeah, sure. Next time."
Edward stood up from the couch and made his way to the door. I got up and followed him.
"And I'm sorry if I came on a little strong Bella. I don't want you to think I do this with every attractive woman I see."
"Well I don't act like this with every handsome man I see."
We just stood there, not saying anything. Edward leaned over and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
"I'll see you tonight Swan."
"Edward, tonight we have to remain professional. We have a job to do and we can't let this distract us from that."
Where in the hell did that come from?
'What? I have to try and clean up the mess you two made. You'll thank me later.'
"I agree. We won't let this get in the way of doing our job."
"Right."
"Sweet dreams Bella."
"You too Edward."
Edward unlocked the door and opened it. He took one step out into the hallway, stopped, and turned back to smile at me. I could feel my insides melting and I couldn't resist. I stepped towards him and stood on my tiptoes to place a soft kiss on his lips. I could feel him smiling as soon as I pulled away.
"I'll see you tonight Edward."
I backed in to my apartment and closed the door. I looked out the peep hole and saw him standing there and touching his lips. He must have known I was watching him through the peep hole because he looked up at it, smiled and waved before he turned to leave. I felt like a teenager again. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. I sighed and locked the door, hoping I would be able to calm myself so I could fall asleep.
