Hey y'all! Thanks to everybody who has been reading and reviewing. I am getting more and more readers with each chapter...which makes me quite happy. The next chapter might be a while out, as I am going on vacation on the 9th. I know it's like two weeks away, but I get very anxious and I will spend those next two weeks packing and unpacking, until everything is perfect. I will try and get out the next chapter, but please don't hound me if I am unable.

I am still looking for a beta/pre-reader. I try my best to catch all of the errors, but I am sure I miss a few things.

Lastly, the characters in this story belong to SM, however, the plot is the intellectual property of myself.

Chapter 4: Seduced

"Oh my God! I can't do this, Alice. What if he's on me like white on rice, and I totally freak out. I mean, I've only ever been with one guy ever."

"B, Edward isn't like that. Well, he kind of is, but it is generally only with girls who he knows are easy."

"Well, what if he thinks I'm easy…I'm fixin to be sick," I said as I glanced toward the toilet.

Alice had me in her bathroom, putting more makeup on my face than I had ever worn. She had my hair teased to epic proportions. And all along I thought the South was known for big hair. It was what she called sex hair. It was what I called a rat's nest.

"All right, I'm finished, and you look hot!" Alice was jumping up and down and clapping her hands. "He isn't going to be able to take his eyes off you."

I stood and looked in the full length mirror she had perched in the corner of her bathroom, and she was right. I looked unreal, and not like me at all. "Alice, you don't think this is too much? I mean, I don't normally look or dress like this. He is even going to recognize me."

I was wearing some type of lavender jumper. Alice said the proper term was romper. Anyway, it was flowy and not tight at all, but it was completely strapless and very, very short. The material felt like silk. It was undoubtfully beautiful, but so not me.

"Oh, shut up, Bella. You look fierce."

Just then, Eleanor, the Brandon's housekeeper, tapped on the door, before pushing it open. "Miss Bella, there is a gentleman here to see you."

"Thanks, Eleanor," Alice said. "Tell him she'll be out in just a moment."

Eleanor nodded her head and retreated from the door.

"Okay, now put these shoes on and you are ready to go." Alice handed me these beige platform sandals that had multiple thick leather straps going across the top of my feet and about three inches up my calf.

"No way, Alice. I can't walk in these."

"Yes you can. The platform provides the extra support to keep you up right. You will do fine." She jutted her chin out in a way that said, the decision is final.

I begrudgingly put the shoes on my already clumsy feet. However, once I stood up, I realized that Alice was right. I didn't feel unsteady at all. I turned to look at the finished product one more time, before I made my way down stairs.

It's just a date…He's just a normal boy, and you have nothing to worry about….Imagine he is Jake…no not Jake…just imagine he is just a friend. It takes the pressure off. Yea…that's what I'll do.

I know, I was an idiot. I was literally having a conversation with myself as I walked down the last set of stairs. I had almost made it all the way down, when I caught Edwards eye. And I almost tripped. Luckily, I caught myself and was able to laugh it off.

"Wow, Bella, you look amazing," Edward complimented.

I felt that ridiculous blush, but smiled and said, "And you look very sharp." And boy did he. He was wearing dark wash denim jeans and an olive green button-up shirt that he had rolled up above his elbows. His hair was in its usual disarray, which as much as I hate to admit….is starting to grow on me.

"Thanks, so are you ready to head out?" he ask, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Umm, yea. Should I bring a jacket?" I asked.

He looked at me like I was crazy. "A what?"

"A jacket, you know in case it gets cold."

"Oh, a coat. No, I don't think it should get too chilly out."

With that, he opened the door and we made our way out of the building and down to his ridiculously expensive car, that I am not even going to attempt to pronounce for y'all. It looked like some sort of red bullet.

"So, do you like sushi?" he asked as he opened my door for me.

"Some of it," I replied as he shuts the door.

He ran around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. He looked over at me with one of those panty dropping smiles and said, "Great, because we are going to Saka Hana's. It is my favorite place for sushi."

"Umm…all right."

We get to the sushi bar and Edward request a booth in the back corner, and we both sit on the same side. It seemed a little odd to me, but I didn't say anything about it.

When the waitress came to the table she greeted Edward by name and asked what she could get for us. Edward smiled over at me and asked what I wanted to drink.

"Sweet tea, please."

The waitress, whose name tag said, Amanda, rolled her eyes and replied, "We only have unsweetened tea here."

"Oh, then Coke is fine."

"I'll have a Coke too, Mandy," Edward added with a wink at the girl.

As she walked away, Edward turned his attention to me. He asked all about my life back in Louisiana. He said that he had been to New Orleans once with his parents when he was a child, but he hadn't been able to really enjoy all it had to offer.

The waitress came back and took our orders, and quickly dismissed herself. Edward continued with his questioning. He asked about my friends, and I was embarrassed to tell him that I didn't really have that many. I had been painfully shy most of my childhood, and had only recently started to come out of my shell. Then, he asked the big question. He asked if I left a boyfriend back home.

"Umm, not really. My best friend, Jake, is really the closest thing I have to a boyfriend, and I wouldn't really call him my boyfriend."

"Well, what would you call him?" Edward asked with his cocky smirk that I was getting used to seeing.

I was stumped. What would I had called Jake if someone would've asked back home? Everyone just knew us as Jake and Bella. We had been friends since, well, since forever. Lucky for me, I didn't have to answer because the waitress came back with our sushi.

After eating, Edward went directly back to his questioning. "So, Bella, you never did tell me. What exactly is this Jake guy to you? I need to know what I am up against."

Swallowing the nervous lump that seemed to had taken residence in my throat since arriving in New York, I said, "Well, his Jake. He's my best friend. He is the guy that I have shared the majority of the memorable moments in my life with. He is…well, he's my sun."

Edward looked at me strangely for a moment before something changed in his face. Then, he did something completely unexpected; he put his hand high on my thigh, just at the hem of my romper. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Are you a virgin, Bella?"

He didn't even wait for an answer before he started rubbing small circles on my thigh, his fingers disappearing beneath my clothes. I closed my eyes at the sensation and tried to get my body to relax. I was seventeen years old, and I was supposed to enjoy being touched by a guy. In reality, I was really enjoying it. However, it scared the bejezus out of me at the same time.

Edward startled me further by taking my ear lobe into his mouth, sucking it gently. "You didn't answer me, Bella. Are you a virgin?" He asked slowly and with a very husky voice.

Finally, I found my voice. "No."

"So, this Jake guy…he was more than a friend?"

I snapped my head toward him. With a sudden burst of confidence I replied, "You're going to ask about Jake while you have your fingers tracing to hem of my panties?"

Edward smiled and said, "Good point." Then, his fingers were no longer on the outside of my panties, but rather the inside. He was touching my sensitive flesh, and I realized that I was more that I little aroused. I could feel my wetness being smeared around, allowing his fingers to glide easily through my folds.

"Jesus fucking Christ, you are so fucking wet." Edward said before pulling his fingers from my body and putting them directly into his mouth.

I was mortified. Edward moaned.

After that, he quickly got the check and we left in a hurry. While driving down the road, Edward asked if he could take me to his house. I simply nodded my head, because I just had too much going on in my head to answer him. The biggest debate I was having with myself was whether or not I should have sex with him if the opportunity presented itself.

In all honesty, I kind of wanted to know what it was like to have sex with someone who you didn't think of as a friend. I had never been sexually attracted to Jake. This lust that I was feeling towards Edward was completely foreign to me, and I kind of wanted to explore it. However, at the same time, what if I had no clue what I was doing? What if I was awkward and my inexperience was obvious?

By the time we got to Edwards house, I deduced that I would just let things happen. Let the cards fall as they may. If I ended up having sex with him, then hopefully, I would be too much of an awkward klutz.

Edward took me directly to his room. Any question I had about whether or not his was taking me here to have sex was completely abandoned, because the first thing Edward did was push me against the back of his door and cover my lips with his.

"I've been waiting all night to kiss you," he whispered softly.

I moaned.

"I want to kiss you everywhere, Bella. Can I?"

"Yes," I managed to say breathlessly.

He pulled me from the door to his bed and laid me down gently. He crawled on top of me, but somehow managed to keep the majority of his weight elsewhere. He kissed my lips, my cheeks, my jaw, and down onto my neck. I held on to his head as he explored me with his lips and tongue. As he kissed across my collar-bone, his hand came up to cup my breast. I back instinctively arched into his hand.

Taking that as a cue to continue, Edward pulled the top of my romper down over both of my breasts. He moaned as he ran his hand over both of my lace covered peaks. "Goodness, Bella. I didn't expect such a good girl to wear black lace."

I mumbled, "Alice picked it out."

Edward grinned. "I'm glad she did." Then, he reached behind my body and unclasped the bra, before pulling it from my body.

"Beautiful." His mouth covered my left peak and I just about came right them. It was the most amazing thing I had ever felt in my life.

I felt my body start to squirm beneath Edward. Within seconds he was settled between my legs grinding his erection into my core. I couldn't catch my breath, and thought that at any second I was going to pass out. After a few minutes of grinding, he sat up and pulled my romper the rest of the way off me. Left in only my black panties and those ridiculous shoes, I felt…weird.

"Can you please take my shoes off?" I asked.

Edward didn't answer verbally, instead he simply lifted on leg at a time and removed the shoes. I then realized that while I was basically naked, Edward was fully dressed. I sat up towards him, and started unbuttoning his shirt. I was crazy nervous, so my fingers weren't really cooperating that great. Edward chuckled and helped me. Once his chest was exposed to me, I took the opportunity to kiss him. He had been giving my body so much attention, and I wanted to make sure that this wasn't all about me. I knew that good sex was when both parties pleased each other.

Edward groaned as I flicked my tongue over one of his pierced nipples.

"Jesus," he mumbled as leaned forward and sucked gently on my shoulder.

My hands roamed his chest and stomach and I quickly found my hands at the waistband of his pants. I paused for a second. This is where I had to decide. I knew that once his pants came off, there would be no going back. I would have sex with him. I couldn't find any good reason not to, especially when every nerve in my body was screaming for me to stop being a prude and just do it already.

With resolve, I unbuttoned the first button of his jeans. Then the next, and the next. Once I had the jeans completely unbuttoned, Edward pulled away from me and slipped the pants down his body. He kicked his shoes off and tossed the pants aside. He crawled back over me, and looked down at me with hunger in his eyes.

He hooked his fingers into my panties and slowly pulled them down my body. I was completely naked before him, and somehow, I wasn't scared or nervous at all. Edward smiled sweetly at me before dipping his head between my legs and placing two small kisses directly on my vagina. They were such delicate kisses that they almost tickled.

Edward removed his boxer-briefs and reached into his bedside table for a condom. I held my breath as he slipped it over his impressive erection. I didn't have much knowledge in the size department, but I was immediately aware that he was larger than Jake.

Settling between my legs, he rubbed his penis back and forth through my folds a few times. I raised my hips at the phenomenal sensation. With my legs spread over Edward, he pushed himself into me.

"Damn, that looks fucking amazing," he said as he watched his body merge with mine.

I couldn't say anything. My brain felt numb. I recognized a slight burning between my legs as my body adjusted to him, but I relished in the feeling of being filled.

"You are so fucking tight." Edward eventually picked up his pace as he covered his body with mine. He kissed my lips and licked my chest.

I could hear myself making the most ridiculous noises, but I couldn't stop. Edward reached his hand between our bodies and rubbed his thumb across my clitoris. This finally elicited a word from me.

"Oh my lord," I cried out as my fingers dug into his back.

"That's it baby, give it to me."

My body quivered and suddenly I felt a rush of heat over my entire body. It was indescribable and nothing like anything I ever felt with Jake. Edward then moaned loudly as he pushed himself into me roughly three times, before slowing his pace to a stop.

He leaned forward to kissed my sweaty forehead, and then pulled out of me. He quickly jumped out of the bed and disappeared into the bathroom. A minute later he came out with a towel wrapped around his body. I couldn't help but stare at his chest. Even though, I had just been up close and personal with it, I was still amazed by the lines and curves of his chest and stomach.

Edward reached into his dresser and pulled out a pair of underwear. He put them on, and then grabbed his pants off the floor. After that, he gathered up my clothes and handed them to me.

"I hate to rush us so quickly, but my parents will probably be home very soon. They don't like coming home to me being their delinquent child very much."

Suddenly very shy, I put my bra and panties back on in an awkward, rushed fashion. I stood from the bed and silently stepped back into the romper.

After both Edward and I were fully dressed, we walked back out to his car. The drive back to my new home was all but silent. Edward turned the radio on, and I could see him drumming his fingers on the steering-wheel.

I was worried that I had done something wrong, but I was too confused to ask.

As we pulled up to the front of the massive building, Edward looked over at me and smiled. "I really enjoyed tonight. Thank you very much."

I tried smiling back, but for some reason his words rubbed me the wrong way. Was he thanking me because I had sex with him, or was he thanking me because the entire night was good?

"I had a good time as well," I said, not knowing what else to say.

I got out of the car and turned around to wave goodbye to Edward, but he had already started to pull away. I couldn't help but get the feeling that I had just been seduced, used, and tossed aside.

I made my way inside, hoping to hide in shame within the walls of my bedroom. However, as soon as I stepped off the elevator into the foyer, Alice bombarded me.

"Bella, you have to tell me all of about it! Where did you go? Do you have a good time? Did he kiss you?" she asked back to back, without giving me time to answer any of them.

My face must have fallen when she asked if he kissed me, because she immediately quit talking and looked at me strangely. "Is everything all right, Bella?"

At that moment, I broke down into tears. "I had sex with him."

So, Bella had sex with Edward, and he got all wierd after. Any ideas why? Who thinks they know what is going to happen next?
