I'm SO SORRY it took me so long to update! I kept wanting to write things for this chapter that were totally inappropriate. I mean, this is basically just a series of lemons, but I don't think it's reached the point (or ever will) where I can just cut loose and write out all my dirty fantasies. Instead, I started a NEW story, Something More, where I'm venting out everything I really needed to write about sexy, Dominant Edward. It is very intense, so don't read it unless you're into that kinda thing.

So, since I got some of my sexual frustration out with that, this chapter has more fluff than smut. Actually, it's mostly just pointless drabbling. I'm not really sure how that happened. Oh well.

Edward woke me up with butterfly kisses all over my face. Once I was aware enough, I noticed that while both of us were still naked, I was now wrapped my bedspread rather than Edward's bare arms. I frowned at him. "What's this for?" I asked, plucking at the blanket.

"You were shivering," he explained with a crooked grin. "I didn't want you to catch a cold and miss out on the trip to Fun Forest."

I groaned. "Thanks for reminding me. Tell me again why I agreed to that?"

"Alice guilted you into it," Edward replied, chuckling.

"Oh, that's right. What time is it?"

He smiled and kissed my forehead again. "School starts in an hour. Make sure to wear something Alice won't object to, because she's planning to bring along a back-up outfit for you, in case she doesn't like your choice."

"I'm not surprised," I sighed, lifting my head to his lips so I could kiss him. Edward grasped the back of my head and deepened the kiss for a moment, caressing my tongue with his before pulling back and asking, "How soon should I get here?"

"Come as soon as Charlie leaves," I whispered against his lips, and he smiled.

"Will do."

As soon as he left, I opened my closet doors, trying to find something Alice would let me wear for the whole day. The last thing I wanted was to be stripped naked in the girl's bathroom and forced into whatever underwear Alice thought appropriate, so I made sure to put on some of the nice lingerie she'd—sorry, I meant we'd—picked out at Victoria's Secret. I didn't think she'd refuse to let me wear jeans, but just to be safe, I slipped into a denim skirt that fell just past my fingertips. Then, I pulled on a tight T-shirt and jacket, prayed that Alice wouldn't make me change into some uncomfortable or revealing garment, and ran downstairs to grab a quick breakfast.

School that day was great. The whole time, I was either talking to Edward, holding his hand, kissing him, or fantasizing about the next time we'd be alone together. I didn't learn much, but that was pretty low on the list of my priorities right now. Instead, I was wallowing in the bliss that was my relationship with my vampire boyfriend.

When Alice saw me, she looked almost disappointed but complimented my outfit. I mentally wiped my forehead at my success in dodging that particular bullet; I could only imagine what she'd picked out. After classes was the group trip to the Seattle theme park, planned mostly by Jessica. She'd invited the Cullens and me along with Mike, Angela, Ben, Tyler, Lauren, and a few others. Alice had decided that it would be almost as good as a party, so she talked me into going. Edward was coming because of me, Jasper for Alice, and Emmett went in anticipation of the entertainment I was sure to provide. Rosalie decided to stay home and exfoliate her toenails. I had no idea what she was talking about but was a little grateful she wasn't coming; certain girls always seemed to be particularly nasty to everyone whenever Rosalie was around. Everyone packed into a couple of vans and we drove off.

This had to be the lamest amusement park in the world. There was only one ride that I could classify as a roller coaster, and it never even went upside down! No corkscrews, no sudden drops, nothing. I just sat there next to Edward, rolling my eyes at the shrill, piercing shrieks of Lauren and Jessica. When I climbed out of my seat and saw Emmett, I almost laughed. He looked like a little boy who hadn't gotten the puppy he'd been promised for Christmas. Really, had he expected me to throw up or something? I was from Phoenix, for Christ's sakes! I mean, we didn't have a huge amusement park, but there was a 120-foot freefall drop ride in the city and we were close enough to LA that I'd been to the Six Flags there more than once. This was something little kids rode to feel brave.

We moved on to bumper cars, and it was about the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I swear, the Cullens were close to breaking the machines in frustration. I don't think any of them ever lifted up on the pedal, but bumper cars just aren't made for speed. Edward looked annoyed, Alice infuriated, and Emmett, positively murderous. I couldn't stop giggling as they got their butts kicked. It was a great feeling. Vampires, 37,149: Humans, 1.

I guess Edward felt the need to reassure himself of his skills, because next he dragged me to the "prize games" section and won me six teddy bears, four stuffed cartoon characters, two t-shirts, a fish (which I gave to a little kid), an enormous balloon, and a 20-inch TV before we were kicked out. Of course, when Mike saw all the prizes he made a pathetic attempt to compete with Edward. I think he spent over 20 bucks on games and all he won was a souvenir coin. I was just glad Emmett decided to go on every ride rather than try to outdo Edward; they'd probably have beggared the park.

The ride home was cramped due to the number of oversized stuffed animals. I tried to give some of them away, but Lauren and Jessica refused to take my "charity." Angela accepted a teddy bear and a foot-tall Tweety Bird, which left me with Scooby Doo, Daffy Duck, and Eeyore. I had no idea what to do with them. When Edward and I were dropped off at my house, I put them on my bed, but they took up more room than I did. It was too crowded for two people to sleep—or, in Edward's case, lie down—in, so the toys ended up scattered throughout my room. Edward was busy setting up the TV in Charlie's room. Hopefully the gift would improve his attitude towards my boyfriend, but I doubted it. He was as bad as me about presents.

Sure enough, when Charlie got back from work and we showed him his new TV, he frowned. "Edward," he began, "I know your family is fairly well-off, but I really don't need—"

Edward cut him off. "Don't worry, Chief Swan," he replied, grinning. "It only cost me a dollar." Charlie obviously didn't believe him, so I butted in.

"Remember the trip to Fun Forest we took with a group of kids from school? Edward and I went to the games section, and he won practically everything they had. You should see my room; all the stuffed animals barely fit."

Charlie chuckled. "Well then, I'm impressed. I never did have much luck with those kinds of games. But I'm sure someone in your family could use this, and I'm good with my TV downstairs, so . . ."

It took some convincing, but Charlie finally accepted the TV with good grace. He suggested we watch a movie downstairs while he tried it out. It was pretty obvious he just didn't want us alone in my room (if he only knew!), so I put on Persuasion and we snuggled on the couch. One of the many wonderful things about Edward was that he was just as happy to watch a girly romance as an action flick. Of course, he always says that he focuses mainly on me, but that certainly didn't make it any less appealing.

This time, he wasn't the only one not paying attention to the movie. Edward sat against the arm of the couch with his legs stretched out, and I was curled sideways in his lap. My cheek rested against his chest, and his arms encircled me, hands rubbing my back. Then, ever so slowly, his fingers started trailing down my shirt until they reached the hem. They played with the sliver of exposed skin there for a moment. I shivered, and Edward began to stroke upwards, smoothing his cool hands over my warm skin until he hit my bra.

With a swift flick, he undid the clasp, releasing my breasts from their confinement. I closed my eyes and hummed in pleasure as he slowly trailed his thumbs forward until they reached my nipples. Edward wrapped his fingers around the hardened points, tugging lightly until I arched my back, silently begging for more. One of his hands left my breasts, and I began to protest until it started trailing down to the hem of my skirt. He stroked up my thigh until his hand grazed the crotch of my panties. I whimpered and turned into him, grasping his face and raising my lips to his so I could kiss him with all the passion I felt. Edward responded fervently and our tongues dueled as his fingers slipped into my panties for one excruciatingly brief second, before he pulled away, sighing, and quickly fastened my clothes.

I glared at him. "Edward, you can't just start something like that and not finish it!"

He grimaced. "I'm sorry, love, but Charlie's about to come down and kick me out so you can have dinner. Don't worry, I'll be waiting in your room." I pouted and he half-smiled, pressing his lips to mine and breathing into my mouth, "Eat quick."

Well, the ending was a little abrupt. I'm sorry. I'd had most of this written and was having trouble finishing it, so I just cut it off. Next chapter will be smutty, I promise!
