Chapter 19

XXX – Meet the Cullens – XXX

I woke up from my nap with my head on Edward's chest and his arm around my waist.

His hand was lying against my hipbone with his fingers drawing lazy circles on my skin made my nipples react instantly, pebbling as the memories of the last twenty four hours flooded through my mind.

Ahhh... the magic those fingers held.

Edward kissed my hair, "Can we lay like this forever?"

I snickered and sang, "Can I bathe with you in the sea?"

Edward chuckled, the vibration of his chest reverberated against my cheek,"I'll be your dream. I'll be your wish. I'll be your fantasy."

I lifted my head off of his chest and looked up at his face and smiled, quirking an eyebrow playfully, "Are we quoting Savage Garden?"

He shrugged and smirked, "Maybe."

I poked his stomach, well, his well toned abdominal area. Yeah, that spot there that was all hard under my touch... I poked it playfully and moaned a little when I brushed my knuckles over the skin, skimming his nipple lightly, making it pebble and harden under my touch.

"Sweetheart, what do you think you're doing?"

"I ehmm," I furrowed my brows still staring at the exposed skin, "I was just exploring this spot right here," I kissed the smooth skin between his breast bones, "it's very pretty." I smiled and met his gaze.

Edward rolled his eyes, "I swear, if you call me pretty one more time, Isabella, I may never allow you to see me naked, ever again. Is that what you want, naughty girl?"

He then gave me that soft smirk, all the while licking his lips.

And yeah, I died.

Well, not actually, but you get it, he's hot.

I patted his cheek and sat up in the bed, not bothering to cover 'cause he had seen everything there was to see anyways, "It's not my fault you're too pretty for your own good. Your parent's sure knew what they were doing when they made you." I wiggled my eyebrows at him and kissed his cheek, remembering our conversation from this morning.

"Oh, shit," Edward raked his hand through his thoroughly just fucked hair and sighed.

"What?" I asked, a bit worried about his tone.

He rubbed his hands over his face, "I totally forgot. I promised my mom I'd go have dinner with them tonight."

I must have looked disappointed about the prospect of losing him from this bed soon but our little bubble had an expiration date. It just sucked ass that said expiration date was now a bit earlier than expected. "What time do you have to be there?"

He groaned, "Six o'clock."

"It's okay, baby, we still have," I looked over to the clock on his nightstand, "Hmm, about two hour of cuddle time left." I laid my head against his chest and relaxed into him.

"Do you want to come with me?"

I looked up to search his face. Was he really asking me to go with him to his parent's place? We hadn't had the official 'will you be my girlfriend' talk and he was asking me to meet the Cullen's. Not that I would refuse, especially since we were laying in bed half naked.

Heck, if I was honest with myself, there was probably nothing he could ask that I would refuse. Well, except maybe some anal, but even that was debatable.

I absentmindedly drew little circles on his chest, over his heart, as I nodded and smiled.

No words could truly express how it made me feel for him to ask me to meet his parents. Officially that is, since I had technically met them before.

"Are you sure?" I asked as a pang of insecurity crept up in my deranged little psyche.

He put his hand over mine and twinned our fingers together; keeping them over his heart "I love you, Bella. I want you to be a part of my family. They want to meet you and this is just the perfect occasion. Besides," he brought our hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles, sending another round of shivers through my body, "I want them to meet my girlfriend before anybody else does."

I nudged him playfully with my shoulder, "Technically, your friends have already met me," I trailed off. "Oh, and let's not forget your cousin."

He smirked and rolled his eyes, "Okay, Swan, so you want to get technical on me?"

I giggled, "What are you gonna do about it, Cullen?"

'Cause if he can use my last name on me, so can I.

He searched my face for a moment then flipped us over, hovering over me and holding both of my hands in his over my head, essentially pinning me down.

I squirmed and giggled and wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling his naked and now thoroughly hard cock closer to my wet center.

Apparently my inner whore was always ready willing and able for this man.

"How 'bout I start by reminding you how technical I can get?"

Oh, God.

"Show me." I demanded, desperately trying to rub myself over his hard cock, pulling my hips off of the bed and closer to him, basically hanging off of him.

He smiled devilishly with hooded eyes and kissed my mouth. "How's this?" He made a motion with his hips, making his cock slip up and down my slit over my clit and back down near my entrance. Teasing and taunting me.

"Please, Edward." I squirmed against him, needing the friction.

"Please Edward, what?" He quirked that damn eyebrow again, making him look all sexy as hell.

I licked my lips and struggled as he leaned forward and pulled one taut nipple into his mouth with his teeth then flicking his tongue over it.

"Oh God, Edward. Fuck me, please." I groaned as my body reacted to his every touch and taunt.

I felt his lips creep up into a smile over my flesh, "That's more like it, baby girl."

Not missing a beat, he then rotated his hips and lined us up, slamming his hard cock into my pussy. Hard. Filling me to full capacity as I blinked and gasped at the sudden sensation rushing through my body.

"Sweet Jesus, so good." He groaned as he pulled out then pushed back into me.

I met his every thrust with a push and pull of my hips, needing to find my own release.

Before I could make any sense of anything around us, with his ministrations alternating between kissing my face, my chest or the sensitive area underneath my earlobe, I came undone, moaning a slew of colorful language.

It didn't take long for him to come inside me after that.

With both of us panting and struggling to find our breath, he kissed my collarbones and my mouth sweetly before pulling out of me and letting go of my hands that had stayed pinned underneath his own.

We might have to discuss bondage. That shit was so fucking hot. Just sayin'.

XOXOXOXO

"What do you mean, you want me to meet someone?" I followed behind him as he gave me a quick tour of the upstairs, showing me a few more rooms we hadn't been in yet.

And there I was thinking he lived in an apartment when he had this beautiful home to go to.

We'd have a field day christening this place.

Oh yeah we will.

Shut up.

"You're going to love him, Bella."

I stopped dead in my tracks, "Him?"

Edward turned around and grinned at me before opening the bedroom door and motioning for me to go inside.

"So Aro was going to have him killed because the study was over and he was the only survivor and I just couldn't have that happen. I mean, the poor little guy had been through so much and had survived it all."

"Edward, what are you talking about?" He took my hand in his and brought me over to a seemingly empty cage of some sort. I bent at the waist and looked through the little white bars searching for something alive in there. "What am I looking for here?" I motioned to the empty cage.

He leaned down and looked through the little hiding... place... thingy, "Bella, that little ball of gray fur over there," he motioned to the... thingy, "is my rat, Jake."

I snorted, "You have a pet rat?"

Edward opened the cage and put his hands through the little hole where fur was sticking out. He then pulled out the little guy and brought him close to his chest, if it weren't a rat, it would have been a cute gesture.

"Ehmm, Edward, you do realize it's a vermin, right." He looked at the little thing as I tried to figure out what the heck he found so cute in a darned rat.

"Bella, he's a living creature. Jake here just needed a bit of love. Besides, Jasper already has dibs on him. I'm just babysitting until next Monday."

Thank God.

I must've looked pretty relieved because he looked at my face and chuckled then put Jake away in his cage before pulling me in for a hug. "So, I guess the Swan doesn't like the rat?"

I cleared my throat, "Not really, no. They kinda freak me the fuck out." I admitted, shuddering at the mere thought.

"Well, I won't show you my other pets then." Edward pulled back from our embrace and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "There are more?"

He chuckled, "No, I was just playing with you."

I rolled my eyes, "Thank fuck."

XOXOXOXO

After meeting Jake, we had quick bite to eat, which was buttered toast which sucked because Edward didn't stock up on Pop Tarts. I'd need to rectify that and soon if I had any plans of staying at his house very often.

We showered quickly, washing the sex off of our bodies asa small part of me wished we could do some more shower sexy times but hey, my girlie bits needed a rest. My vag was a bit sore. Poor girl had taken quite the pounding after all.

Before going to his parent's house, Edward drove me to my place so that I could change into something appropriate to meet his parent's in. We then got back into his car and drove to their house.

I wore some dressy black slacks and a pretty soft pink blouse. Nothing too showy or over the top just cute and appropriate for a job interview or meeting your boyfriend's parent's which was in itself an interview of sorts. I guess.

I had met parents before but for some reason, meeting Edward's was something I really wanted and needed. I also really wanted and needed for them to approve, after all, Tanya had been with him for so long, I was probably only the second girlfriend they were meeting.

And then panic started to set in.

'Cause that thought alone was terrifying.

"Bella, are you okay, baby?"

I turned my head to look at him. He was driving and casually looking over at me, his free hand lying softly over my knee.

I cleared my throat, "Ehmm, yeah, I just," I closed my eyes and inhaled, "have they met many of your girlfriends?"

That sounded okay, right?

Right.

He chuckled, "Don't worry; they will love you, just like I do. You're only the second girl I've brought over to meet them. I wouldn't let them meet anyone I wasn't serious about, Bella."

Right.

I breathed out a sigh of relief and smiled shyly. It was silly; I knew it but couldn't help it.

Letting those words sink in, I was finally able to relax.

I mean, it's not like his mother walked in on us while I was kneeling in front of her son giving him head. Now that would have been embarrassing. Right?

And of course the thought of road head crept up and I had to put a halt to those thoughts or else I wasn't going to make it through the evening.

I'd have to make an appointment with a shrink. These sexual thoughts were really getting to be ridiculous. I had no idea what this man was eliciting in me but he was turning me into some sex crazed nymph. Which, wasn't that much of a bad thing, but come on, road head on our way to his parents'? I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts away.

"It'll be alright, Bella." Edward gently squeezed my knee as he veered into a secluded driveway.

I nodded and smiled, "I know. I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

I followed Edward up the porch and into the house. He didn't bother knocking, which I thought was nice. I always knocked at my parent's house but it was refreshing to see how comfortable he was in their home.

"Edward is that you, honey." I heard a woman's voice filter through to the foyer as we took off our jackets and Edward hung them in the hall closet.

"Yeah, and I brought a surprise." He smiled at me and took my hand in his, squeezing it as we made our way towards the lady's voice.

"Oh honey, you didn't have to bring-" a woman, his mom, who I had met before came out of a door and headed toward us, she stopped talking and a warm smile crept up her lips as she laid her eyes on me.

I couldn't stop the blush that crept up my face or the smile on my lips. "Hello." I said shyly as Edward pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Mom, this is Bella." He motioned to me, "Bella meet my mom Esme."

"Oh, sweetheart, I've heard so much about you. It's about time he brings you around." She smiled, walked over to me and pulled me into a warm mom-like hug.

I think I might already love this woman.

She pulled back and kept her hands on my forearms as she looked me over, "Edward, you didn't tell me how beautiful she was."

And if I thought I couldn't blush any more, I was wrong. I could feel my skin burn; my face must've been as red as a lobster's.

"Mom, stop it, you're embarrassing her." Edward chuckled, pulling me away from her. "Is dad around?"

"He should be home in a few minutes. There was an emergency and he was called in. He'll be here for dinner for sure."

"I'll give Bella the grand tour, if that's okay with you."

She smiled warmly at me, "Sure, Bella and I will catch up later. I have to check on dinner anyways. Come sit with me in the kitchen when you're done."

Edward gave his mom a kiss on the cheek before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards different rooms, explaining what they were.

It didn't take much time for us to explore the main floor. The second floor, however, took a little more time. Especially since Edward found it fun to re-live some boyhood fantasy about bringing his girlfriend into his bedroom and making out with her on his old bed.

I wanted to mention that Tanya had probably been there numerous times, but he beat me to it and explained the fact that his mom didn't allow Tanya and him to explore the house like we were presently doing. They had only done so after they were already engaged. That, according to Edward, took the fun out of making out on his old bed.

I, on the other hand, found it to be exceedingly fun knowledge that his mom was right downstairs making us dinner. It made me feel younger. Not that I was old, but, I digress.

After a few minutes of kissing and minor groping, we heard the mother of all cock blocks. "Edward, Bella, dinners ready."

We broke our kiss and I watched in amusement as Edward adjusted himself. I giggled as he looked up to the ceiling and closed his eyes breathing in and out probably thinking of dead puppies.

He was breathtakingly beautiful and mine.

"Are you coming, sweetheart." He extended his hand to me.

I smirked, "I wish."

He shook his head side to side playfully, "What am I going to do with you, Bella?"

"I have no idea, but whatever it is, I'm sure I'll love it." I replied kissing his cheek and wiggling my eyebrows.

We made our way downstairs where I met his father.

Dayum, I hadn't noticed before but that was definitely where Edward had gotten his good looks from. Carlisle Cullen was one fuck hot doctor.

I couldn't help but blush every time he looked or spoke to me. Which was a lot 'cause Edward's parents were very wordy and probably some of the nicest people I had ever met.

We spoke of how Edward and I met but skipped a few awkward things like 'your son was stalking me while I read Shakespeare in the library' or 'I was actually invited to his wedding by his ex-wife'. Although I'm sure they already knew the last part even if neither of them brought it up.

I loved them instantly. Just like I loved Edward and Alice. But not Jake. I could never love Jake. Just no.

Can I reiterate how happy I was that Jasper was getting that thing out of Edward's house?

"So, that went well?" Edward asked as he walked me up to the door to my apartment.

"I love your parents, and their son." I smiled up at him as we stood awkwardly in front of my door.

"I'm sure the feeling is mutual." Edward chuckled, "My mom was pretty sly about it but she said she absolutely adored you." He said the last part in what I can only assume was his Esme voice.

I laughed, "That was almost creepy."

"Oh, yeah?" he licked his lips and quirked an eyebrow; his facial expression rendering me speechless.

"Oh yeah." I repeated huskily and got on my tipi-toes to kiss his mouth.

We made out like teenagers in the hallway in front of my door. It was nice and freeing.

It was all easy.

My relationship with him; it didn't feel forced. Always easy, like breathing; it was just natural.

After meeting his parents, I knew that no matter what I did, Edward would always be around for me.

After all, his mom approved and I did want babies, which was an added bonus for her to like me.

That night, I went to bed alone in my own apartment and slept like the dead. All of the sexing had definitely had a toll on my body. I felt like every muscle had been worked over; which, they probably where.

Edward went home as he had to get some rest in order to be a functioning physician. The last thing I'd want was for my doctor to fall asleep while diagnosing me.

I felt sad that I wouldn't be seeing him for a few days but the fact of the matter was that we would definitely be speaking and texting… possibly even sexing sometime during the week. His schedule was hectic at best and didn't allow for much social interaction but at least he took it well and promised to call before going to sleep when he finished his shift.

That was enough for me for the moment. Whatever issues his job or mine, for that matter, would bring up, we would work at it together.

I ended up having a pretty typical pre-Tanya-leaving work week, which was fantastic. Edward and I texted and spoke to each other over the phone a few times. He sounded tired but his raspy voice did things to my girlie bits making me question my sanity once more.

Unfortunately for us, there was no time for phone sex. But I'd rather wait for the real thing anyways.

We made plans for me to spend the weekend at his house. Even if he was only going to be there sporadically, he insisted that I at least sleep there. Something about having my scent in his bed. Some would say it was creepy, I'd rather think of it as being sweet.

It only took that one weekend for us to realize how nice it was to be together all the time. He'd get home to a nicely cooked meal and some company and I got to speak to someone that actually had a pulse.

Plants don't count, people.

We spent the next week separately, repeating the same pattern as we had done the week before. Only this time, Edward complained that he missed me when he went home and hearing that broke my heart.

I also mentioned that I liked being there with him when he was around, which lead him to stay at my apartment more often because he missed me too.

Which in turn lead up to us discussing our living arrangements.

And my parents.

'Cause my father would kill me if I moved in with a boy he'd never met and, as much as I was dreading Edward meeting my parents, I knew it was unavoidable.

So, after a few glasses of wine, I called my mother and told her we were going to spend Thanksgiving with them in Forks.

I also told her there was no way in hell Edward was sleeping in the guest bedroom. We weren't teenagers anymore for God's sake.

Oh how I was going to dread Thanksgiving this year.

A/N: A huge thanks to my girls, WitchyVampireGirl and Scrimmy for looking this thing over. Apparently my grammar is atrocious. Whatever. :o)

Jake was WitchyVampireGirl's idea. Blame her wicked mind.

Next week, we meet the Swans... let's see if they like Edward just as much as we all do...

Thanks to everyone rec'ing and reviewing and loving this fic.

Your reviews make me smile. :o)
