CHAPTER NINE

BPOV

"I'm going to kill your brother!" I hissed, scowling at Alice. I knew she didn't deserve it, but she was the closest person I could turn my anger to. She seemed to be irritated as well at the conversation I just had with her brother, if that frown on her face was any indication. She however remained silent the whole time I was seething, and for that I was grateful.

I just hung up on Edward, but even that gave me little satisfaction. How dare he shout at me! My father never did.

Just then Alice's phone rang and we both knew it was Edward. She finally picked it up after letting it ring for a minute or two.

"Edward, we're fine…Bella is so miffed at you this minute…you're in a whole lot of trouble," she said in a frantic voice. I tried to mute out the one sided conversation by concentrating on calming myself down.

"You're such an asshole!" she spat. Her beautiful face was now lined with irritation. "We're in the Hya," she clipped before ending the call.

I groaned and put my face in my hands. I was sure he would be here any minute. Shit!

"I'm so sorry Bella," she said softly. "My brother is really an ass sometimes."

I cocked my brow to challenge what she just said and she broke into giggles before agreeing. "Ok, most of the time."

I couldn't help the snort that escaped me when she said that, and soon we were giggling like schoolgirls. Alice literally made me less angry with her brother. Behind her bossiness and the unending exhilaration, she was really nice.

Alice woke me up this morning and literally dragged me out to shop. I was not a morning person, so clawing her eyes out was really tempting, but I opted to be as crabby as I could be. She, however, ignored my grumpiness and didn't let that affect her exuberance at the task at hand, which was shopping.

She was like a hurricane that was let loose to cause havoc. We had roamed around in different high-end stores for over three hours, trying everything she could get her hands on. She was worse than Rosalie when it came to shopping.

The good thing about this whole trip was, I didn't intend to have a good time with her, but I did. She seemed to have a knack for fashion, and knew what to do with it; not to mention have fun while doing it. Fun was what I needed, and fun was what I got.

After a couple of thousand dollars in purchases, which included several designer dresses, jeans and sexy lingerie, we decided it was time for us to have our late lunch. So here we were at the newest restaurant that served the best wood-grilled steaks in the metro area, not to mention their very delicious sandwiches.

I scanned the room whilst waiting for our orders to arrive. I saw Quil and Alice's personal bodyguard sitting together two tables away, casually observing us. I gave him a smile, and he saluted me with two fingers. Seth was supposed to be here with me, but I didn't see the need to bring him since Quil was my personal bodyguard, and he was always with me. Alice was also bringing hers so between the two of them, I was sure they would give us enough security. Edward, on the other hand, thought otherwise. He was so pissed when he found out Seth wasn't with me. It wouldn't have been an issue if he just said it nicely, but no, Big Boss needed to shout and scream just to get his point across. Screw him!

Just then I saw Edward walk into the restaurant, and my demeanor suddenly changed. Speak of the Devil! Though I was a little less angry with him, I was still irritated enough to punish him.

Early this morning, I was basking on his recent admission of love for me. I was so happy, I didn't mind waking up all alone in our bed because I knew I would be seeing him soon enough. I was having a great day up until he ruined it by acting all bossy and shit!

I ignored him as he sat beside me, knowing too well that would rile him up. He just sat there, and I could feel his heavy gaze on me while I tried my best to have a conversation with Alice. His presence along with his penetrating stare was distracting, but I remained unaffected. He suddenly held one of my hands in his, and the heat from his skin sent tingles to my spine. He tugged and I turned my gaze to him.

He was smiling at me, and I almost gasped aloud. He was looking so damn sexy with that lopsided smile on his face. I nearly pulled him to me and kissed him; however, I still remained silent and put my best poker face on.

"Baby, I'm sorry for shouting," he said softly, his smile still in place. He knew what he was doing. He was trying to dazzle me, but I wouldn't show him that it was working. So with much control, I turned to Alice and continued to ignore him.

Make him suffer a bit Bella. Yes, definitely. But it was becoming increasingly difficult as he rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand; sparks of electricity were shooting on the skin he was touching.

Just then Jasper arrived cursing at Edward for leaving him behind. After a few minutes of his tirade, they ordered some lamb loin, which was also one of the specialties here, and we continued with our lunch without further drama.

Edward's phone beeped, signaling an incoming message. As he checked it, I felt him stiffen since he was still holding my hand. I quickly looked at him and his brows were furrowed together, so I knew something was up. He felt me looking at him and he just gave me a smile and squeezed my hand.

I didn't know what was happening, but I knew something was amiss. Marcus suddenly appeared at our side as Edward whispered something in his ear before he left again. Edward tried to remain impassive; although I knew from the way his shoulders were stiff that there was something wrong, and I planned to know what it was.

Once we finished eating, Edward paid our bill then we slowly stood up to leave. He took my hand in his and tugged on me as we made our way out of Hya. Jasper was ahead of us with his hand on the back of his wife to usher her out.

Edward guided me to his car, a very expensive looking one at that. I turned around to check on Alice and saw that she was also being escorted into her yellow Porsche by Jasper. I waved goodbye and nodded in confirmation when she signaled with her right hand that she would be calling.

Edward helped me into the sports car, and I ducked my head to lower myself in the passenger seat. I surveyed the interior of the car and was impressed by the posh amenities that could only be seen in expensive cars like this.

It took Edward a couple of minutes before he slid inside the driver's seat, and I noticed he was talking to somebody on the phone.

"Yes," he said. "I need everybody in an hour. Tell them!"

He ended the call and roared the car to life. He gave me a quick glance before he put the car into gear and sped out the parking lot.

The silence was deafening, even though Incubus' Stellar was playing in the background. I didn't know what I wanted to talk to him about, so I remained silent. I looked out the window and stared at the blur of scenery as Edward drove past. I felt him take my left hand, which was resting on my lap and slowly turned it around, giving the backhand a kiss.

"Bella, baby…I'm so sorry," he started.

I turned my head slowly to him and sighed. I couldn't seem to be angry with him for long especially, now I knew he loved me. I secretly hid a smile at the thought of that. Even though he was so overbearing at times, he was still adorable when he turned on the charm. And trust me, he was definitely trying, so all the more I couldn't resist.

My fingers were now intertwined with his as he rubbed his thumb on my skin. "I just fucking freaked out when you told me Seth wasn't with you."

I squeezed my hand against his and sighed. "You could've just told me nicely. No need for the shouting."

"Yes, I know that," he sounded repentant. "I just didn't want you to go anywhere without Seth. Promise me you'll bring him everywhere."

"But Quil-"

"You can still bring Quil. There is no rule that says you can't have more than one bodyguard." I knew he wanted to lighten the mood, but his voice was laced with concern. He looked at me briefly, and it was enough for me to agree.

"Okay," I said and turned back to looking out the window. I grinned.

"Thank you baby girl. When it comes to you I don't want to risk anything." He turned to me and raised my hand again to kiss it. "So am I forgiven?"

"Not quite, but we are having a truce right now," I teased him.

I heard him release a long sigh before he pulled my hand and kissed the inner portion of my wrist. "You're so fucking beautiful Bella. I still can't believe you love me."

In reality, it was me who couldn't believe he loved me. I was still trying to get my brain to accept everything that happened yesterday was real. I gave him a shy smile because I didn't know what to say to him.

He seemed distracted, but he gave me a smile before he returned his gaze back to the road to effectively maneuver the car.

"Bella, I did a call in so I need to deal with that first. I'll drop you off at home," he informed me, trying to be nonchalant about it.

"Why, what's wrong?" I asked. "I know there is a problem. You have to tell me these things!"

"I promise I'll discuss it when I get home."

I nodded before leaning into him to give him a kiss on the lips.

ooooooooOOOOOOoooooooo

I was getting quite agitated as I paced back and forth; Edward hasn't arrived yet from his meeting since leaving me at our apartment suite two hours ago. I was also worried about his reaction when he did arrive. Goddamn Jacob!

Scattered around our living room were five-dozen white roses. I wanted to throw them away, but I was sure that Seth would be reporting this to Edward, so there really was no way to avoid this. I tried to call Jacob on his phone earlier, but either he didn't plan to answer, or he was just plain busy. I chose the latter since he would not avoid me after sending all these flowers. I tried one last time; it worked, and he picked up.

"Jake, what the hell?" I didn't bother to explain as he chuckled.

"So, I assume you received my flowers?" he asked in a smug voice when he heard me groan. "Finally! You didn't seem to receive the ones I'd sent you here in Seattle!"

"What do you think you're achieving by doing this?" I hissed at him. He was really on dangerous grounds here. "I am married Jake!" I said in exasperation.

"It doesn't matter babe," he said maliciously. "There is always divorce."

"Goddammit Jake! If you were here I would shoot you myself!" I was now seething. The audacity of him to suggest such things he didn't even know about.

He just laughed, and I was getting angrier by the minute. "I'll be coming to Seattle in three days, and you better be prepared because you and I will have a long talk about this!"

"I can't wait Bella," he said, trying to be seductive. "God, I missed you."

I shuddered at what he was saying and cut him off. "I'll see you when I get there. Bye." I didn't wait for him to reply before hanging up.

I knew Edward was having something of a complication right now, which was surely important to garner a call in. This something meant he would have a hard time allowing me to travel, but I was determined to go to Seattle in three days. An idea suddenly occurred to me, one I knew would get Edward to agree with me. I got ready as soon as I could before he arrived and ruined my plan.

After everything was set up, Edward strode into the living room a few minutes later, looking exhausted. However, he smiled when he saw me sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in my hand. I took a sip then gulped it down, and tried to walk over to him as soon as my feet would allow me. I knew he seen the flowers because his smile earlier turned into a scowl.

"What the fuck?" he growled as he scanned the room full of bouquet of white roses. He just stood agape, and I walked over to him so I could explain.

"Look Mase, I know this might sound perplex to you," I started, trying to get everything out before he overreacts again. "But please listen to me first before you react."

He raised his brows, and gritted his teeth. "I didn't send these! Are these for you?"

I just looked at him, afraid to nod my head in confirmation. I couldn't hide the fact these were for me. Well obviously who were they for if not for me?

"Who had the balls to fucking send these to you?" His voice was dangerously low, a sign that he was really angry. I did the only thing I knew would appease him before answering; I wrapped my hands around his waist and looked him in the eye. He was waiting, and I swallowed before answering.

"Jacob thou-"

"That motherfucker! He really is asking for it!" he growled. He went to the vases that held the roses and started kicking it. "Fucking asshole and his fucking flowers! I'm going to kill him!"

I followed him and put my hands on his face as I tried to assure him. "Masen, look at me. It doesn't matter if he sends me a hundred dozen roses; it will not change the fact that it is you that I love."

He sighed deeply and closed his eyes. I moved my hands from his face to wrap it around him while I rested my head on his chest. I was rubbing his back in circles, trying to ease the tension. My hands were already under his shirt, and the heat from his skin was making me delirious.

"Baby girl, you gotta stop that," he said in a pained voice. I knew he was crumbling, so I turned around and reached for the remote to turn on the music from the dock I had set up. I walked a few steps away so he could see me properly, and allowed the robe I was wearing to slip from my shoulders as the song of Nine Inch nails started.

You let me violate you

You let me desecrate you

You let me penetrate you

You let me complicate you

I was only in the sheer lacy bra and panties I knew he would love. The lyrics of the song were turning me on, but I needed to concentrate on the task at hand, so I started to dance. I slowly turned towards Edward, and to my satisfaction, he was gaping at me with his eyes now dark and hooded with lust.

I swayed my hips sensually, the way I learned during the exotic dancing lessons with that chick Lisa. I slowly ran my hand from the inner portion of my thighs to my stomach then my breasts while moving my body like a seasoned stripper. I smiled at him and licked my lips as he growled. I slowly slid the straps of my bra down my shoulders as the sexy beat of the music got to me. I threw him the sheer fabric when I was able to completely remove them from me. I looked at Edward and saw that he was now staring at my naked breasts. He licked his lips and I felt my nipples harden in arousal. I touched the sides of my now bare breasts and slowly trailing my hands up my neck to my hair as I moved my body with the music.

Help me tear down my reason

Help me; it's your sex I can smell

Help me; you make me perfect

Help me become somebody else

Suddenly he was striding towards me. He just came close enough and stopped, so I moved my body closer to his then grounded my ass at his obvious erection; my arms went to his neck as I slid my body up and down his body.

I wanna fuck you like an animal

I wanna feel you from the inside

I wanna fuck you like an animal

My whole existence is flawed

I wrapped my arms around his neck and licked his lips. He hissed and tried to capture my mouth in a kiss but I pushed away from his chest to turn around and continue to dance with the erotic rhythm of the song. I hooked my thumb on the strings of my tiny panties, and glanced back to give him a seductive smile while I grinded. He was clenching his hands and his breathing was clearly labored now, a clear indication that my teasing was effective. Good.

I continued to dance, raising my hands over my neck to my hair to give it a lift and let it all fall back down. I felt his hands on me just as I was about to remove my panties. He turned me roughly to him and crushed his mouth to mine. I secured my arms around his neck as we continued to kiss. I could taste the cigarette and alcohol on him and it made me ravish his mouth more. He pushed me on the rustic ottoman that was nearby and moved on top of me. His assault on my mouth didn't falter as he grounded his hips; his massive erection pressed against my stomach. My panties were now soaked as the assault of his mouth as well as the effect of the sexy song fueled my lust.

"Shit baby girl, I can't wait," he rasped. He removed the lacy panties, and grabbed it in a ball. He raised the fisted cloth to his nose, and inhaled; that sent another course of desire directly to my already heated core. Who knew I was a fucking kinky bitch! He threw the piece of cloth aside before he quickly unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants. "I need to fuck you now!"

He settled on top of me, and I hoped the piece of wood would hold both our weights. He rammed inside me, and I screamed from the sheer pleasure of having him inside me.

He was like a deranged person, thrusting frantically. I hitched my legs on his hips; the high-heeled shoes I was wearing were still on. My hands were gripping the edges above my head for leverage as he continued to pound into me. Just like the fucking song!

"Jacob can't have you!" he hissed as his thrusts continued. Harder and faster. "Nobody can! You're fucking mine! You hear me, MINE!"

His anger was fueling this animalistic fucking and I loved it. I moaned as his plunges increased and I screamed when I convulsed around him.

He didn't stop fucking me. His hips were rotating and grinding against me, his cock hitting spots that felt so good. I felt another orgasm building and I tightened my legs around him, pushing him deeper inside me.

"Say it!" he murmured as he tugged on my earlobe. "Say you're mine!"

I moaned because that was all I could do. However, Edward wasn't satisfied with that so he pulled out of me, the tip of his cock teasing my entrance. I groaned in protest. "I'll not give it to you if you don't!"

"I'm fucking yours! All of me!" I shouted and he slammed back inside my pussy. "Always!"

He latched his mouth to mine in a harsh kiss, pulling my lower lip between his teeth and biting it until I could taste blood. His tongue plunged in and out of my mouth in an imitation of what his lower body was doing to mine.

His hard pounding brought us both to our orgasm, eliciting a string of curses as the pleasure rocked both our bodies. I lay limp on the table while he collapsed on top of me for a few minutes to settle down from the high. When he realized this position would most likely crush me, he pulled himself up, bringing me with him. He was still inside of me when he walked towards the nearest couch and sat down, landing me straddled on top of him. I buried my face on his neck, licking the sweat that was there.

"That was so fucking hot!" he said in an awed voice. "Where did you learn how to dance like that?"

I giggled as I slowly unbuttoned his shirt so I could play with the muscles on his chest. I could still hear the music in the background since I had put it in replay.

"Rose and I trained to do exotic dancing," I said softly, smiling as I remembered the first few days we started with the training.

He suddenly looked at me strangely, and frowned as he asked, "Did you dance like this for somebody else?"

"Not like this, no," I informed him. "But we did dance in one of the clubs in the outskirts of Forks."

He was about to open his mouth in protest, but I cut him off by putting my finger on his lips. "Baby, don't worry about it. Please."

He seemed to contemplate about it first before agreeing. "You're mine! Nobody will ever see you dance like this, you fucking promise me Bella! "

I gave him a peck on the lips as a response. I was aware that he was still inside of me, so I squeezed my walls so it constricted around his cock. "Mase, I need to go to Seattle in three days," I continued my squeezing and eventually I felt his cock harden.

"Bella, no fair," he hissed as he grabbed my hair to angle my face closer to his lips. "You know I can't think straight when I am deep inside you."

I squeezed again. "Jesus, fucking stop already!" he hissed. I chuckled and threw my head back. I felt his lips close around a nipple and suckled lightly. I moaned loudly.

"Your tits are so fucking juicy," he rasped when he released my hardened peak. He nuzzled his face in between my breasts and I pressed closer. I was becoming hot all over again so I pushed back slowly and looked at him.

"Mase, Seattle?" I asked. I gave him my best smile but he furrowed his brows. Not a good sign. I started to move my hips and he moaned.

"Please?" I said as I started to move my hips so he was now sliding in and out of me. I was also giving him the best puppy dog eyes I could so he would cave in.

"Fuck," he groaned. He bucked his hips, allowing himself to go deeper. He was biting his lips as if he was trying to have control. "If I allow it, you have to stay away from Jacob!"

I need not tell him Jacob was one reason why I needed to go, because that would freak him out. I needed to confront Jacob and put a stop to this fuckery as soon as possible before Edward gets really angry with him.

"Okay baby girl," he stilled my movements by holding my waist and looked me in the eye. "But you have to bring Seth with you."

I was elated that he finally consented without much fuss. "Yes, whatever you want." My arms snaked around his neck, pressing my naked breasts to his now exposed chest.

"God, I love you!" he said before he caught my lips in his in a gentle kiss.

When we parted for air, I suddenly realized there was still the matter of what happened earlier we haven't yet discussed.

"You told me you'd tell me why you needed to have an emergency sit-down with your men."

He frowned, but instead of answering he bucked his hips again, and I gasped. He was distracting me. The sneaky bastard.

"I promise we'll discuss it when you come back from Seattle," he said, and grinned mischievously, "but for now, there is another matter you need to attend to."

He flipped us over so that I was lying on my back and he was on top of me, still intimately joined. "You need to satisfy your insatiable husband."

I hope you loved reading this chap as much as I loved writing it! ;D lol

Ok. Send some love over, won't you? =)
