A/N: Thank you to everyone that has reviewed. I'm sorry that I haven't gotten a chance to reply to all of them. I have been so busy getting ready for my trip, getting everything set up on Twilighted, and trying to write this chapter. I hope you like it. It's just a little piece of fluff. This is my marshmallow chapter.

Chapter 11-

I awoke feeling warm and refreshed. I sat up and stretched out, immediately regretting the motion when I felt the pain shoot through my arm.

Damn stitches. Damn bullet wound.

I looked over at a sleeping Edward and smiled. He looked so peaceful. I slowly crawled out of bed and grabbed a pair of sweats and a tank top from my dresser. I pulled my pants and tank top on as I headed out to the kitchen to make some coffee.

The sound of my phone beeping caught my attention. Grabbing it from the counter I looked at the screen and saw that I had five new voicemails. I opened my phone and saw that I had missed calls from Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Charlie, and three missed calls from Mom . This couldn't be good. I dialed my voicemail and punched in my password.

"You have five unheard messages. First unheard message, sent yesterday at 9:12pm."

"Bells! Hey it's Em. Are you and Cullen doing the nasty or what? Anyways, I was calling to tell you we found a lead on the case. There's too much to go over on here though. Call me back and we'll meet up to go over everything. Talk to you later. And tell Cullen he better be wrapping his junk."

I laughed at the message. Typical Emmett. He could go from being serious and talking about work then to talking about sex in the blink of an eye.

"Next unheard message, sent yesterday at 9:23 pm."

"Bella! You haven't called me yet! Don't think you are getting out of filling me in on that Cullen guy. I want all of the hot, grinding, screaming, thrusting, biting, orgasmic, sweaty….."

Seven

I didn't even bother listening to the rest of Rosalie's voicemail. I knew it would just go on that I hadn't spilled the beans yet.

"Next unheard message, sent yesterday at 10:09 pm."

"Hey Bella! It's Alice. I was just calling to see how your date went, but I guess it's still going! Spank him once for me and then call me when you get this. Love ya girlie!"

"Next unheard message, sent yesterday at 10:48pm."

"Hey kiddo. I was calling to check up on you. I talked to your mom and I accidentally told her about your accident. Sorry about that. But I convinced her not to bombard you with phone calls and that you would need your rest. Also, we found some new information on the case. Call me back when you get this. Love you, kid."

I grimaced. My mom always over reacted when it came to my line of work. She hated the idea of me being in constant danger. I didn't blame her since I was her only child, but I just wish she wouldn't freak out as much. I let out a heavy sigh and braced myself for the next voicemail.

"Next unheard message, sent yesterday at 10:48pm."

"Bella! It's mom. Why didn't you call me and tell me what happened!?! Dear God Bella, you got shot and you don't even call your own mother? I had to milk it out of Charlie last night. Thank the good lord above that you're okay, but baby, you have got to call me and tell me that you're okay. If I don't hear from you within 24 hours, I am buying the next plane ticket there. You can't do this to me Bella. I can only take so much. It's bad enough that my only baby is a glorified bullet sponge, but you don't even tell me when you get hurt? You had better call me or I will come out there and whoop your butt. You're not too old to get a spanking young lady! I love you honey, please call me and let me know you're okay. I need to hear that from you, not Charlie."

Well it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. I disconnected the voicemail and dialed my mom's phone number.

Might as well get this over with.

The phone only rang twice before my mom picked up.

"Bella! Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me what happened? How bad is it?"

"Mom! Calm down! I'm fine and it's really not that bad. I'm sorry I didn't call you and tell you what happened. I've been …incapacitated."

Yeah, that's the best way to phrase it. Sorry I didn't call to tell you I got shot Mom, I was too busy having hot sex with the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.

"My poor baby. You've probably been knocked on your butt with all of the medication they have given you. Do you need me to come out there? I will. I found a flight that would get me in to DC by 6:00 tonight."

"No Mom. I'm fine! Really. Stay in Phoenix. I have plenty of people here to help me. You should just stay in Phoenix and enjoy your time while Dad is out of town."

"Yeah, it is nice not having to plan dinners and do laundry. Hey! Don't you try to distract me young lady! I'm still upset that you didn't call me."

"I'm sorry! Really Mom! I would have called but I have been so loopy from my pain medication that I hardly remember what day it is."

I hated lying to my mother, but I didn't want to tell her the truth. If I told her I was busy spending my time with a guy, she would be on the next flight out for sure. Probably wanting to pick out floral arrangements for the wedding.

"Oh I'm sorry baby. I shouldn't be yelling at you. I know you've been through a lot these last few days. "

"It's okay Mom, I understand why you are upset."

"Just promise me that you will call me from now on if anything else happens. I would rather hear it from you. When I hear it from Charlie, I always think the worst."

"Okay, Mom. I promise to tell you personally from now on."

"That's good enough for me. I'm going to let you go baby, I have a cake in the oven. Give all of your friends hugs for me."

"I will Mom. I love you."

"I love you too, Bella."

I closed my phone and let out a heavy sigh, glad to be done with that phone call. One down and four to go. I was definitely going to need coffee.

~*~

I just got off of the phone with Emmett. He told me the same thing that Edward told me at dinner. The warehouse was a rendezvous point and there was no sign of any chemical testing, let alone manufacturing. I could feel my stomach dropping. I knew that this was all my fault. If I hadn't been so gung-ho, we could have gathered more information.

I knew Charlie would probably tell me the same thing, but I had to call him anyways.

"Hello?"

"Hey Charlie."

"Oh, hey kiddo. How are you feeling?"

"I feel pretty good. The pain medication works really well."

"Good. I don't want you to try and be tough and not take them. I gave you the time off for a reason. Speaking of, I talked to Agent Cullen last night."

"Yeah, he told me."

"When did he tell you?"

Shit, shit, shit! Backtrack, backtrack!

"He called me last night," The words just flew out of my mouth.

"Oh okay. So you already know about the rendezvous point and all that jazz?"

"Yep. And I just got off of the phone with Emmett."

"Alright. Well kiddo, that's all I really had to tell you."

"Charlie, I'm really sorry I messed this all up. I shouldn't have rushed in there. I should have just stayed at the stake out point. I understand if you change your mind and want to take me off of the case."

"Bella, it's fine. You didn't mess anything up. We had some agents go in to the warehouse right after you got shot, and there was nothing there. They just have to find a different place to meet up. But they still have to go to the dock. There hasn't been much activity, but we have been seeing the same fisherman that was there the first night. That's a good sign that they are going to start meeting up soon. I just wish we had more on that fisherman to bring him in for questioning. But don't worry yourself with all of this right now, Bella. I want you to focus on getting better. I want you back in and on the field next week."

"Alright, I'll be there. What about Ed…Agent Cullen? When are you going to have him go back?"

"Probably tomorrow. I want to have him briefed and ready for when you get back. I'm just going to have him help Jasper and Emmett with research. Nothing too exciting."

"And when I get back, we'll go back to tracking them down, right?"

"Yep. I'm not taking one of my best agents off of the field, even though she was being stubborn and got herself shot."

"Thanks, Charlie. I really appreciate you giving me a second chance."

"Don't mention it kid. Just don't ever do that again. You're old uncle here can't take that kind of stress."

"I promise, I'll behave from now on."

"Good enough for me. And sorry I told your mom about what happened. I know how much she worries. Hell, I know how much I worry."

"It's okay Charlie. I already talked to her and she knows I'm fine. I guess I've just been so distracted with everything that I forgot to call her."

"So she won't be on the next flight out?"

"No, she did threaten that though."

"Typical Renee."

"I know. I'm going to let you go Charlie. I want to take a shower and then I'll probably sleep some more."

"Alright, take it easy kid. You know I love ya."

"I love you too."

I closed my phone and looked at the time. It was 8 am. I knew that Rose and Alice would still be sleeping. I would call them later. I wanted to take advantage of my last full day with Edward before he went back to work. I went in to the kitchen and found exactly what I was looking for. The perfect thing for breakfast, and then some, in bed….strawberries.

~*~

Before I could go through with my morning seduction in bed, I needed to grab some things from my closet. I tiptoed towards my bedroom door and peered in. Edward was still sound asleep. Fighting the urge to sit and watch him sleep, I crept into my closet and grabbed the black lace bustier and boy short set that Alice bought me for my birthday last year. I knew that this thing would come in handy one day.

I snuck out of my room and got dressed in the guest bathroom. I looked myself over in the mirror and smiled. This is going to be fun. The hallway was clear and I could still hear Edward's rhythmic breathing. I practically ran in to the kitchen to grab the bowl of strawberries and went back to my bedroom. Edward's chest was slowly rising and falling. I felt like a creep watching him sleep, but he was just too gorgeous that it's impossible not to stare. Trying to walk as softly as I could, I made my way back to my bed and crawled on top of it. Edward shifted his position so he was laying flat on his back.

Perfect for what I have planned for you.

I straddled Edward's hips and ran my hands up his bare chest. Nuzzling in to his neck, I placed a kiss just under his earlobe.

"Wake up, babe."

Edward shifted underneath me and when he felt my weight pressing him down, a slow smile spread across his face. His hands went to my hips and held me in place. I watched as his thick black eyelashes fluttered open, revealing those gorgeous green orbs.

"Good morning, Bella…"

His voice trailed off as he looked me up and down and saw what I was wearing.

"Bella, you look amazing."

"Thank you. I thought I would surprise you with breakfast in bed."

"You're not going to throw flour at me again, are you?"

"Not this time. But you have to admit that that ended pretty well."

"It sure did. So what do you have in store for me today?"

I reached for the bowl on the nightstand and set it on the bed beside me. Pulling a strawberry out of the bowl, I ran the tip along the curves of Edward's lips.

"I thought you might enjoy something…sweet."

Edward's lips twitched into a crooked smile before his tongue came out and flicked the end of the strawberry and then taking a bite out of it. I could feel the anticipation start to creep into my body. A small trail of juice started to trickle down Edward's chin and I couldn't stop myself. I leaned forward and ran my tongue along his chin and up to his bottom lip, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. I pulled back, not wanting to get started quite right yet.

"Definitely hits the spot."

Edward took a strawberry out of the bowl and ran it along my collarbone and up my neck. I leaned my head back as he continued to travel upwards. He held the strawberry just in front of my lips. I smiled at him and I took the strawberry into my mouth, not biting it at first. I pulled back and then took a bite out of the berry. A low moan escaped Edward's mouth, and I was done for.

Grabbing on to the back of his head, I pulled his lips to mine. The juice from the strawberry made him taste even sweeter than usual. My hands made their way up to fist in to his hair. Edward's hands trailed up my sides to cup my breasts. The thin lace of the bra didn't prevent me from feeling any touch. I moaned into Edward's mouth as my tongue touched his. Reaching behind me, I unclasped my bra and pulled it off of me as quickly as I could. I needed to feel him, now.

I leaned back so I could pull the boy shorts off. Edward's eyes grew in size, considerably. Edward pulled me back to him and started to kiss along my collarbone before making his way down to my nipples. While his mouth and hand worked my nipples, his free hand went down and caressed my core. I knew I was ready for him, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to torture me for a little bit longer. But two can play that game. I reached my hand down in between us and grasped his erection. Edward moaned against my breast and pushed two fingers into me.

"Edward, please."

"What do you want me to do to you, Bella?"

"I want you to fuck me like you'll never fuck me again."

Edward gritted his teeth and moaned against my skin. I leaned over to the night stand and pulled out a condom and quickly put it on him. He rolled us over and thrust into me in one swift movement. We both cried in pleasure.

"Bella, you feel so good. You're so tight."

I whimpered as he drove into me again and again. The pace was hard and fast and full of need. Edward hissed as I ran my nails down his back.

"You feel so good inside of me."

Edward kissed my neck and ran his teeth along my skin. His hand trailed down to play with my clit. My breathing was starting to pick up.

"I can tell you're getting close, babe. Don't hold back on me."

He began thrusting into me even harder. I was arching my back to try and get closer to him.

"I'm so close. Don't stop."

"Never."

My hands went back to his hair and I gripped my nails into his scalp. I was so close, I could feel my walls begin to tense around him. Edward pinched my clit in between his fingers and he pushed into me again and I exploded.

"Edward! Oh God!"

My body began to shake and tremble underneath him. I mustered up enough sense to move my hands to grip Edward's ass and pull him into me. His teeth gritted and he yelled my name. Edward collapsed on top of me, breathless. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his shoulder. Edward pushed himself up and leaned his forehead to mine and smiled.

"You always know how to wake me up."

"I try."

Edward pulled himself out of me and rolled to his side and disposed off the condom in the wastebasket. Rolling back towards me, he pulled me into him and kissed my forehead. Suddenly, I remembered something from last night.

"Edward, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, anything."

"Last night, did you say that you were falling in love with me?"

Edward was silent and his arms tensed around me.

"You remember that?"

"So you did say it?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry Bella. I don't want to scare you off. It just seems so soon, but it just feels right. I can't imagine not having you in my life. I knew I liked you, but when I saw that bullet hit you…I couldn't breath. Carrying you out of that building and feeling your blood running down my arm is something I never want to think about ever again. I thought I was going to lose you. I felt like I wouldn't be able to go on in a world without you in it. And when we got to the hospital and the doctors told me you were going to be okay, the relief I felt was indescribable. I knew I wouldn't have to go a day without seeing your smile, hearing one of your off the wall jokes, or looking into those gorgeous brown eyes. That's when I knew that I was falling in love with you. I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I want you to know how I feel about you."

I lay motionless, in absolute disbelief of what I just heard. A single tear ran down my cheek and I turned to look into his eyes. I reached a hand up to cup his cheek and kissed him with all of the love I could find in my soul. Pulling back from the kiss, I looked into those eyes that I fell in love with the second I first saw them.

"Edward, I have been falling for you since I first met you. Literally. I can't hold myself back from you and I don't want to. I want to be yours and I want you to be mine."

"I've always been yours, Bella. Everything I've done in my life has lead me right here, with you. There's no other place I'd rather be."

For the first time in my life, I felt overwhelming love and passion for someone other than my friends or family. I pulled his lips back to mine. We could stay like this for the rest of our lives and I would be content with that. But I knew that that wasn't a possibility, so I would just enjoy this moment while I had it.

A/N: I think that is the fastest I've ever written a chapter. I hope it doesn't reflect in the writing. I just ran through it and tried not to let my fingers get messed up. So I hope this nice bit of fluff will be enough to hold you over until I get back from SLC. When I get back from SLC, I only have 2 ½ days before I leave for Dallas, so I will probably have another short chapter. But I hope you enjoyed this. If you did, you know what to do. ^_^

*love and hugs to all*
