A/N: So, how's everyone's week been? I dunno about where everyone's from but here in Indiana we've been having some kick ass weather, especially for early to mid march, normally we're still waiting for the snow to melt! So here is where we're finally going to get some citrus! I wrote it and then re-wrote it several times, I kept getting the whole 5 dollar porno vibe each time I went back to re-read it. It's my first time writing anything like it, so suffice it to say I'm sweating like a whore in church over it, so that being said, enjoy and I'll see you all at the bottom! Oh, and I want to thank all my reviewers, you are all making my day! No seriously if I could hug you I would, I wasn't really expecting anyone to read this but hey, there you are so mucho love to everyone weather they review or not! Thanks for reading!
P.S. This is the longest chapter I've written yet!

Dreams, cold showers
"Thanks for dinner tonight Bella, I'm really glad you've let me into Ethan's life and into yours." He had his perfectly crooked smile on his face. That smile always did something to me; even now I wanted nothing more then to kiss that smile right off of his face. Biting my lip, I looked up into his beautiful green eyes, only to see a hunger. He reached a hand up to my lip, still captured between my teeth and pulled gently.
"You shouldn't bite your lip like that." His voice had dropped an octave or two and his eyes had taken on a predatory gleam.
"Seeing you doing that even in high school, well it…You have no idea the effect that has on people." Having no idea where my sudden confidence came from, but still deciding to take advantage of it, I asked,
"What sort of effect? Does it affect you, Edward?" At this point we're standing practically chest to chest, well, body to body at least. I could practically feel his heart beating.
"Well since you asked…"
Next thing I know, I'm pressed up against my front door, with Edwards body pinning me with his hips. Feeling his erection pressed so deliciously against me, I can't help the moan that escapes my lips.
"That's what it does to me, Bella. It's what you've been doing to me for the past few weeks. I can't fight this any longer. I want you." With that, he crashed his lips down onto mine. My brain apparently has been stunned into silence because, its no where to be found, no tiny little voice to tell me how wrong this is and how, we're just friends and we have our son to think about. So without thinking, I wrapped my hands around the back of his neck and pulled him closer. I feel his tongue tracing my bottom lip and I open eagerly to accept him. He tastes delicious, like honey and warmth and something all Edward.
Breaking the kiss off, he begins to trail little kisses down the side of my neck, I arch back, to give him better access. He reaches down to grasp my leg and pull it up over his hip. In doing so, I can feel his cock hitting right against my core. I buck up into him, hoping he'd get the hint. Message received. He begins a slow grind into me, his mouth sucking and nipping up and down my neck. Kissing a path back up to my mouth, he grabs, my other leg, and pulls it up, so that now both my legs are wrapped around his middle. Next thing I know, we're on the couch, me straddling him with his hands on my hips, guiding me over his clothed cock. The need to breathe becomes an issue once again so he reluctantly leaves my mouth and makes his way, this time down the front of my neck and keeps going till he reaches my breasts. He glances up quickly, silently asking for permission, I nod, speech is nowhere to be found right now. Gently he cups my left breast with one hand, kneading it at first, and then he's pulling my shirt and bra down next. I gasp when I feel his lips on my nipple. He flicks it with his tongue a few times before suckling gently. He keeps that pattern up, flick, flick, suck, flick, flick, suck. My hips are still keeping up a steady rhythm, I can feel the coiling in my lower belly begin, Looking down at Edward, I see that he's got his mouth on my other breast now, The feel of him there is almost too much, but not enough at the same time, I bring my hands to the back of his head, trying to hold him there, I speed up my hips, I'm so close now. "Yes, Edward, that feels so good" I hear myself say, I know I sound a little porno-tastic but hey the man's got a talented mouth. Sensing my need Edward bucks up into me; his hands now back on my hips, his mouth still at my breast. He's bucking up into me hard, I can hear myself crying out and moaning, begging for release, just as I'm about to scream from frustration, I feel Edward bite down on my nipple, as I feel him shudder under me and that's all it that's all it takes, Stars explode behind my closed eyelids, I collapse against him, only now, he feels too soft and very flat.
I open my eyes only to find myself alone, laying face down on my bead. Shit, I thought, I just had a sex dream about Edward.How in the hell am I supposed to face him now? Every time I look at him I'll his mouth on me, that look that say's I want to devour you. It'll be like I have a permanent blush around him. Fan-flippin-tastic! I really need to quit reading trashy romance novels before bed. Rolling over I glance at the clock. There's no sense in trying to go back to sleep now. I have to be up in 45 minutes anyway. I sit up and for the first time notice how sweaty I am. Deciding on a shower before anything else, I made my way into the bathroom. Turning on the water I stripped my sleep clothes off. I glance in the mirror at my naked form. I have to admit time thus far and child birth had been good to my body. Growing up, I had always had smaller breasts then most girls but breast feeding took care of that. I was fortunate enough to be able to loose all my pregnancy weight after Ethan and while I did get stretch marks, in most light they aren't noticeable now, unless you're looking for them. After glancing at my body for a few more seconds, I hop in the shower. Letting the hot water cascade over me I can't help but think back to that dream. I don't remember my night with Edward, but I have to admit if that's what it felt like in my dreams, imagine what real Edward could make me feel, with his long fingers and god, that tongue...
No.
It was just a dream; people have sex dreams all the time. It doesn't mean anything. Edward and I are just friends, and that's how it will stay.
Even my subconscious didn't sound convinced. I quickly finished up, wrapping a towel around my body and one around my hair I made my way back to my bedroom. I paused mid-step when I smelled coffee. Wondering if Alice was here for some reason, I made my way into the living room, and then stopped in my tracks. Edward coming over for dinner last night, him staying here late. Me, offering him the couch since he was tired. I peered over the back side of the couch only to see that he wasn't there. I hear a throat clear and I feel my cheeks heat up. Slowly I bring my head up, to see Edward standing in the entrance to the kitchen, coffee cup in hand and stunned look on his face. I can't seem to move, I'm stuck staring at him like an idiot, and apparently so is he. I get a brief flashback to my dream, it's his expression, his eyes are dark and predatory again. I need to get out of here. Gripping my towel, I back towards my door.
"I'm just…um, yea. I'll be right back." Turning around, I damn near run into my door in my haste to get away, once I'm safely inside with the door shut, I flop down on my bed and cover my eyes. Holy fuck, he just saw me practically naked. OH MY GOD! I hope he didn't hear any of my dreams last night, I know I talk in my sleep. I know what I'll do; I'll just stay in here forever! There's no way I can face him now anyways. But then, what about Ethan? Shit, OK so I can't cower in my closet for the rest of my life, but still the thought sounds nice…
EPOV
It'd been a week since I had taken Ethan to the zoo and things for the most part had been going great, Em and I have opened our practice and we've managed to hire some great support staff, and even after being open a few days things are running pretty smooth.
The only issue I've had hasn't been with work, it lies with my parents. True to there word they arrived in Seattle two days after I talked to them on the phone. We all agreed to meet up at my condo for dinner seeing as I had more room. Bella volunteered to cook for everyone despite my protests that we could just have something catered. Bella went all out for the meal, hoping to maybe butter them up slightly so they wouldn't be too mad at her, I assured her they wouldn't burn her at the steak or anything, but she refused to believe me.
They adored Ethan, how could you not? But with Bella they were a bit more reserved, I think it steamed more from not knowing really what to say to her, my parents would never be openly rude to anyone. But you could tell my mother especially held a little contempt when it came to withholding a grandchild from her. But, I'm fairly confident, given time they'll all warm up to her. By the end of the night, my Dad was resistant to her charms.
Bella really is an amazing person. She's smart, and funny, not to mention gorgeous. I've been coming over every day and eating dinner and spending time with not only Ethan but Bella as well, after Ethan goes to sleep. We just talk about any and everything, its amazing how comfortable we are with each other after such a short amount of time. Last night though, we had been talking for a while and when we looked up at the clock it was past 2. Bella offered for me to stay, and seeing how long a day I had at work, driving home didn't really appeal seeing how tired I suddenly felt. I feel asleep quickly only to be awoken what seemed like minutes later to a noise. Getting up, I walked closer to where I thought the source of the noise would have been coming from, that's when I heard it. "Yes, Edward, that feels so good." HOLY FUCK! Bella was dreaming about me, and from the sounds of it, its not just any dream. Around that time, I became painfully, I might add, aware of my morning wood, which now was in full erection mode and begging to get out. Quickly, but quietly I walked away from Bella's bedroom door, I went into the kitchen in search for coffee supplies. There was no way in hell I was getting back to sleep. Especially after hearing that! I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face. Bella was having a sex dream about me. The inner teenage boy in me wanted to whoop and holler and fist pump the air. I didn't however. I stood there waiting for the coffee to brew and willed away my erection. After a few minutes, I heard a door open then another close followed by the shower starting. Bella, naked in the shower. Shit, erection's back full force now. Fixing myself a cup of coffee and trying to think about anything but Bella, and showers, I started to make my way back out to the living room. I had just gotten to the entrance of the kitchen when I was stopped in my tracks. There Bella stood, in nothing but a towel, her legs and and arms still slightly wet and glistening. I was trying every trick I could think of to keep my cock down, but it was doing no good. At this point I figured I had two choices, grab her bend her over the nearest flat surface and fuck the hell out of her. Or take the mother of all cold showers. Option one seemed favorable, judging by Bella's dream this morning, I don't think she'd disagree, my mother however raised a gentleman so it looks like cold shower it is. By the time my mind came back into the present, Bella was back in her room. Not wanting to just use her shower without permission, I knock on her bedroom door.
"Bella, is it ok if I use your shower real quick?" I heard shuffling before she pulled her door open. Without looking at me she responded.
"Yea, there's an extra toothbrush in the drawer under the sink and you can use Ethan's shampoo and body wash, it's for men. He refuses to use kid's brand." She still hadn't looked at me. Surely she can't be embarrassed. She has a gorgeous body and nothing to be ashamed of.
"Bella, look at me." Nothing. I grasped her chin and slowly brought her face up so I could see her eyes.
"That's better. Bella, don't worry about this morning. You have a gorgeous body, so don't be embarrassed, it's not like I saw anything ok? Besides we have a child together, I think you walking around in a towel is something we should probably be passed, don't you?" She nodded her head but didn't seem convinced. Deciding to lighten up the mood a bit, I joked,
"If it'll make you feel better, I'll let you catch me in nothing but a towel, just so we're even, ok?" That seemed to do it. She giggled but then bit her bottom lip and looked up at me through her lashes. Fuck. This morning I seem to have permanent hard-on when around her, hell even just thinking about her. With my hand still on her chin, I reached up with my thumb to pull her bottom lip out from between her teeth.
"You shouldn't bite your lip like that." God, I want to reach down and bite her lip for her whenever I see that. I hear Bella's soft gasp followed by her breathing picking up slightly.
I look back up from her lip to her eyes. They capture me. I can't look away from them. I know I can feel myself moving towards her, or maybe she's moving towards me, I'm not really sure, all I know is this gap needs to be closed quicker. Just as I feel her soft lips against mine, I hear a door open followed by feet moving down the hall. Whatever spell, we were under has been broken and I can't help but be disappointed. Stepping back from her, I look over to see Ethan disappear into the bathroom, shutting the door. I look back at Bella, she's still staring at me with a glazed over look. Stepping closer to her, I gather what I want to say.
"Bella, I…" I was cut off by her lips crashing into mine. It was short, but the meaning behind it was huge. Were we really going to try something? Did she want that with me? I had so many questions; I know a serious discussion needed to happen before we moved forward. It wasn't just us we had to think about. I looked back at Bella, she seemed stunned, but there wouldn't be any discussions right now. The bathroom door opened back up and Ethan looked between the two of us for a few seconds longer then necessary and I swear I saw my own trademarked smirk on his face before giving us a quick good morning and taking back off to his room to get dressed.
Not wanting to waste this opportunity, I said,
"I know we need to talk about everything. I just wanted you to know that I don't regret that kiss, and I hope you don't either. I want to try and be with you, so maybe Friday we can go out and have dinner? I only have half a day then, so I'll be done by 3. We can discuss where things are going and we can have time to be with each other by ourselves? I want this to be a date, but if you're not comfortable with that it doesn't have to be." At this point I was grasping at straws. I think I would have done just about anything to get her to agree. But finally after what seemed like hours but was only seconds, a slow smile crept up on her face, morphing into a full on grin.
"I want it to be, and what time will you be here?"
