A/N: You must check out my new story, Delusions of Grandeur. By all that's holy, if you like angry Edward, then it's the story for you. ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, and I certainly don't own sex. I just added the two together for some fun.

EPOV

Alice was insane. I loved the girl like a sister, but really... were we now in some sort of game to see who could one-up the other?

I wondered when Bella had taken the chance to tell Alice about the promise ring. I turned to look down at her, and she blushed like she knew she'd been caught.

It wasn't like I didn't want anyone to know; but something inside me just knew this would happen. Alice and Jasper had been together a long time in comparison to us.

But then I remembered that Rosalie and Emmett have been together even longer than Alice and Jasper... and as if on cue, my phone rang in my pocket.

I pulled it out and answered it, my jaw already clenching. "Hello, Emmett," I said in a grim tone.

"Eddie, my man! Guess where we are?" his voice boomed over the line.

"Let me guess: on your way to Vegas?" I asked.

"Hey! How'd you know?!" he yelled.

"Just call me lucky," I replied.

I heard Rosalie in the background telling Emmett to put me on the speaker phone. I cringed when Rosalie started yelling over Emmett. "You didn't think we could let you and Bella get married first, did you?!"

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. My head felt like it was going to explode any moment. I looked at Bella and saw her eyes wide with confusion. I just shook my head and stalked away so I could finish this conversation.

"Emmett, Rosalie, you guys are still in high school. All I did was give Bella a promise ring, for crying out loud. What are your parents going to think? Emmett, your dad is going to flip and try to send you off to military school. Rosalie, your mom is going to lock herself in the bathroom and down a whole bottle of Valium. Don't be crazy!" I said through clenched teeth.

"Yeah but Alice and Jasper can't get married before us, either!" Rose yelled back.

I growled in frustration, my head pounding. I looked over at Alice showing off her own engagement ring (that she'd probably picked out for herself and put on her own finger after proposing to Jasper) to Bella. Bella was making all the appropriate oohing and ahhing noises while trying to keep an eye on me.

"Listen, you guys. Just hang out until Wednesday, okay? We've got a short week thanks to the teacher conferences. We'll come down there and if you guys still feel like getting married, at least we can be there. Please?" I pleaded, hoping that having a few days to think about it would cool their competitive spirit. I really didn't think this was a good idea.

"We're legally adults, Edward. We can do whatever we want. Stop trying to be our father!" Rosalie said.

"I'm not your father. Just... please wait until Wednesday, okay?" I begged in a tired voice this time.

"Fine! But only because I want Alice and Bella to help me pick out my wedding dress!" she yelled.

Emmett whooped and hollered and I hung up in an effort to preserve what was left of my hearing. If I had known giving Bella a promise ring would be the equivalent of throwing the gauntlet for everyone else, I probably would have... still given it to her, but at least kept it a secret.

I walked back over to the others and Bella wrapped me in a comforting hug. She could read my moods really well. I just sighed and buried my face in her hair, breathing deeply. Her presence calmed the frustration coursing through my veins.

Jasper spoke softly, saying, "Was that Emmett?"

I looked up at him, my arms still wrapped around Bella's shoulders. "Yes. He and Rosalie are headed to Las Vegas to get married."

Bella gasped and lifted her head, saying "Oh no! Their parents will kill them!"

"They're legally adults, Bella. There's nothing anyone can do to stop them, but I made them promise to wait until Wednesday so we could at least be there for them," I said in a strained tone.

At that news, Alice jumped up and down and clapped her hands. Bella and I looked at her like she was crazy. Jasper just smiled down at her indulgently.

"We'll have to get flowers, and a dress, and some honeymoon clothes..." Alice began pacing, mumbling to herself as she made a mental list.

I tuned her out when she started debating the choice of flowers, eager to be alone with Bella... after all, she was the only sane person in this bunch.

I told Jasper to get Alice home and he nodded before gently ushering her to the car. Her head was still bent in concentration, and I laughed when she hardly noticed being put in the car. I took Bella's hand and walked back to into her house.

Once we were back in her room, I sighed in relief. Bella sat on my lap and laid her head on my shoulder. We just sat there, our arms wrapped around each other in the silence of the afternoon. Charlie wouldn't be home for another few hours, but I knew that eventually I would have to leave my beautiful girlfriend. I frowned at the thought.

"What would your parents do if you were the one to elope like this, Edward?" Bella asked me softly.

I raised my head and looked her deep in the eye, wondering why she would ask. Perhaps she was thinking of joining this matrimonial mayhem. I smirked at the thought.

"You know Carlisle and Esme love you. I think they would be confused and maybe a little hurt that we didn't let them throw a big fancy wedding, but I doubt they'd be upset for long," I replied.

She ducked her head back into my neck and I closed my eyes, my arms tightening around her once more. I felt so at peace here with her, like this.

Bella began to shift on my lap, and I took the opportunity to kiss her neck and collarbone softly. I slowly removed her sweater, exposing her shoulders. Her skin was so pale and smooth everywhere. I let my lips ghost softly along her upper chest and down to the edge of her simple tank top.

Her warm scent filled my nostrils as I breathed deeply of her. Bella sat still now, letting me continue my exploration. My hands drifted up and over her arms, up to her shoulders. I raised my head and my lips brushed against hers softly, once... twice... three times before I allowed myself to deepen the kiss.

She sighed into my mouth and I drank her breath, my tongue glided out to dance with hers ever so gently. She pressed herself further into me and I let my hands drop to her hips, holding her tightly. She began to deepen the kiss even further, and I felt my body heat rise.

I pulled back to look at my beautiful girl. Her lips were deep pink and her cheeks were flushed. Her eyes looked heavy as she stared back at me. I never broke eye contact with her as I pushed up her tank top slowly, revealing more and more of her porcelain skin.

I reached her breasts, and I began to knead them. I watched her bite her lip and try to close her eyes as I pinched and rolled her nipples beneath the fabric of her top. "Don't close your eyes," I whispered softly. "Keep looking at me."

Bella did as I asked and I continued to massage her breasts. I could feel her heat beginning to seep from her center where we were pressed against each other. She began to swivel her hips in time with my pinching and massaging.

I groaned as the blood flowed downward to engorge my cock. Bella continued to move, and I had to resist the urge to close my own eyes. We continued to look at each other, just caught in the moment.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I turned and sat Bella down on the bed so I could undo my pants and push them down. Bella wriggled out of her own pants and before I knew it, she climbed back on top of me. I groaned at the feel of her mostly naked body so close to mine.

She bent her head and licked my neck from the base to the sensitive spot behind my ear. I gripped her hips and tried to relieve some of the pressure. Bella bit down on my earlobe gently, and I let go of her hip so I could wrap one of my hands in her hair, bringing her mouth down to mine once more.

We kissed hotly, deeply. Bella reared up on her knees on either side of me and pushed herself down onto my waiting erection. I felt myself hit the end inside of her, and we began to rock against each other.

We broke our kiss to breathe. I buried my face in her shoulder and thrust myself up into her, my hips pounding upward while her hips pushed downward. The sensation was incredible.

We stayed like that for a time, enjoying the sensation of being so close and deep. Bella's cries became more frequent as she got closer to her orgasm, but I knew we needed to change position to really bring us to the peak.

I stood up, bringing Bella with me. I stayed inside of her as I turned and sat her on the bed. I didn't know if this would work, but it might.

Bella laid back onto the bed and I raised her legs straight up so her feet were beside my ears. I held onto her thighs as I pushed into her, deeper than before.

It was fucking amazing. I was so deep inside of her. Bella threw her head back, arching her beautiful neck. At that look of ecstasy, I lost all control. I pounded into her and we both met our end, screaming at the release.

I collapsed on the bed next to her and we eventually crawled into a better position so we could take another nap. Bella's naked breasts pressed against my own bare chest as we slept side by side, peacefully.

The peace didn't last for long, however. Our slumber was interrupted by a crash and a shout. "Bella! What the hell?!"

We both shot up in the bed. Bella scrambled to cover herself with the blanket before she caught her breath. "Charlie!" she yelled.

"What are you thinking? I got a call from the school saying you didn't show up today! I came home to see if you were okay, and I find you here in bed with this kid?!" he screamed, his face turning an alarming shade of beet red.

"Dad! Uhh.. it's not what you think!" she began.

"It sure as hell looks like it, though! You're both naked, in bed, in the middle of a school day!" he shouted back.

I scrambled around, hoping my boxers would be hidden in the covers somewhere. No such luck. I grabbed one of Bella's pillows and climbed out of the bed cautiously, holding one hand in front of me in an effort to hold Charlie off.

"You! You've got some explaining to do!" he turned to me and howled.

"Yes sir! I mean, yes... Oh, god." I stuttered. This was probably the worst timing in the world.

"Get out! Get out NOW!" he yelled, waving his fists at me. I gulped in terror and tried to find my clothes.

Bella was up and out of bed with the sheet wrapped around her. She was trying to keep herself between her father and me, and I was afraid she might get injured. Who knew what Charlie would do in this situation?

"I swear to god, Edward Cullen, you'd better never lay so much as an eye on my daughter ever again, you hear me?" he growled.

I scrambled to find a response to that, because there was no way I could promise that. It would make me a liar. Bella was everything to me, and I couldn't stand the thought of never seeing her again. It was too ludicrous to even consider.

"No, dad." Bella said, her voice firm.

He shot an incredulous look at his daughter. "What do you mean 'no'?" he yelled.

"I said no. Edward is my boyfriend, and we love each other. We're both eighteen. You can't stop me from seeing him," she said in a strangely calm voice.

He reared back, in obvious shock. "Well, if that's the case... you refuse to follow my rules? Then you're no longer allowed to live here," he said in a tone of finality.

Bella's head shot back like she'd been slapped, and my jaw dropped open. Neither of us had ever seen Charlie so furious. I was still standing there like an idiot with the pillow pressed against me, trying to blend into the wall.

Charlie's wrath dissipated as suddenly as it had come on. I watched as he turned and left the room, his shoulders hunched like an old man.

Bella had tears streaming down her face as she stood frozen. I walked up behind her and found my pants, putting them on quickly. I stood and wrapped my arms around her from behind, trying to warm her and break her out of her shock.

"It'll be okay, honey. I promise." I whispered.
