Chapter 15

BPOV

I was having the most amazing dream. I was surrounded by the scent of vanilla, limes and cucumber… Edward. I could even feel his cold weight pressing against my back, his arm draped over my waist. If I tried hard enough I could feel his cool breath against my temple.

"Bella, wake up." I heard a warm voice say, disturbing my dream.

"Five more minutes." I grumbled.

"Bella, you have no idea how hard it is for me to have to interrupt your dream, but we really need to talk to everyone about what happened." The voice whispered in my ear.

"Ugh, fine, fine. I'm up." I said, pushing off the covers and vaulting out of bed. The second my feet hit the floor, I realized that I was stark naked. I froze and attempted to use my arms as a flesh bikini, but all that did was earn me a chuckle from Edward who was sitting on the bed.

"Shy this morning, are you?" He drawled. He sounded more like Jasper when he was making fun of me.

I attempted to dive back under the covers, but he caught me before I could reach them. He held my back against his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist. I could feel something poking me in the butt….oh yeah that's right, his massive junk. He must have realized where my mind went when my face and chest turned a brilliant shade of scarlet.

"You feel so good in my arms. No regrets after last night?" He asked hesitantly.

"No Edward, no regrets. The only regret I am having is that I did not put on some clothes before I fell asleep." I admitted. Even though he had totally rocked my world last night, I was still feeling weird about having him see me in the buff this morning with the residue of our late night encounter smeared on my thighs. Yuck, they never talk about the clean up in romance novels.

"Bella, you have no idea how beautiful you are. Even with my improved vision, I can still find no faults. I would love to be able to take the time to lick every inch of your skin." He said, almost growling.

"What has gotten into you? Where did the shy virgin from last night go?" I asked, trying to turn around in his arms to look at him.

"Oh little girl, you have no idea the kind of thoughts I have been privy to over the last 90 years. And now I have the love of my life here to relive every one." He breathed as he allowed me to turn around and straddle his hips, my breasts crushed against his chest. He skimmed his nose down my throat, nipping the skin as he went. My breathing was erratic and I could feel moisture running down my thighs. His lips stopped at the hollow in my neck and he used his tongue to taste the salty sweat that was collecting there. I was totally prepared to help him out of his sleep pants and get started on some of those kinky thoughts as I inched my hand down his chest. He stilled my motions and looked up into my eyes. His were beyond black, I could see myself reflected back.

"I am being bombarded with questions about what happened yesterday from everyone. We really need to go down and meet with my family. We have some things to discuss." He said, as he ran his hands up and down my arms.

"Phewwww. You really are a tool, you know that. Teasing me is not nice Edward. Make yourself useful and get me something to wear." I pouted as I extricated myself from his grasp and hightailed it to the bathroom.

"Yes my precious girl." He chimed.

I wrapped my cast in the bag and wisely adjusted the temperature before I stepped into the shower. The water felt so good as I used my hand to work shampoo into my hair. I had just finished as I heard a thump from outside the stall. I cleared the soap from my eyes to find Edward standing against the glass door, his body pressed against the partition.

"What are you doing?" I asked, turning my body back under the water.

"Watching you shower. You look amazing with the water streaming down your body. If we did not have to be down stairs soon I would join you." He moaned.

I wanted the same thing and could not help where my mind went as I thought about how amazing it would feel to have his cool body pressed against mine as the hot water showered down on us. I took my time finishing up, knowing how it was affecting him. I could not help it if my breasts were really dirty and I needed to spend extra time on them. Hey Edward, payback is a bitch.

He handed me a towel with a growl and stormed out of the room, adjusting himself as he went. I could not hold in the girly giggle as I realized what a sexy beast I was becoming. I was amazed that I could have that kind of effect on him. I got dressed quickly and could not help the smile that split my face as I saw the lingerie Edward had picked out for me. I could not wait for my new stuff to arrive. I had even more of a reason to wear it now.

I joined Edward in the bedroom and we went downstairs. Everyone was sitting in the living room. Carlisle looked pointedly at Edward and I could tell they were trying to have another one of their silent conversations. Had I not told them that shit was a no, no?

"Um, out loud gentlemen. I now have a bargaining chip I can use to punish you if you piss me off Edward." I warned, tugging on his hand.

His gulp was audible and Emmett was trying to hold in the laughter. "Oh man, that is great. Finally Edward is getting some pussy!" He roared, earning him a smack from Rosalie and an enraged shriek from Esme.

"Emmett, that is disgusting. Please remember your manners." She scolded. I giggled as I pictured Esme trying to uphold proper table manners as they were gnawing on a bear.

"So sorry Bella. I found some new information that I thought would be useful to Edward." Carlisle said bashfully. I was waiting for him to scuff his shoe on the ground like a petulant two year old who had been reprimanded.

"Well, don't you think that it might be wise to share it with the rest of the class." I smirked. "It does seem to be my life in danger."

"Yes, well it does make more sense for everyone to be aware of what is going on." He said, trying to take back command.

"Your abductor, while under great duress, told us his name and where his coven was located. I used my contacts to find out who the other members are, and thankfully there are only two others that had been with him. His name was James and he was the sire of both his mate Victoria and a companion, Laurent. It seems Victoria has connections with Volterra." He finished.

"Ok, so that must be why he was able to get through your powers, his little chippy must have made some calls to get him protection. Were you able to find out why he wanted me?" I asked.

"That seems to be the million dollar question darlin'. We worked on him for a while, but he never gave that information up." Jasper said.

"So what do we do now? Should we try and find the rest of his coven and take them out? You gotta know that when this Vicky chick finds out we offed her mate, she is gonna want some payback." Emmett said. You could tell he was craving a good fight.

"Well, I do think it might be better to be proactive and not just wait for her to find out and come after us. I wish we knew what he wanted with you Bella." Carlisle stated. You could almost see the gears turning in his head.

"So, how far away are they? Should we just bust in there and take them down?" I asked, punching my cast covered fist into my palm. I was trying to look bad ass, but only ended up hurting my hand.

"Hold on there Lara Croft, what do you mean 'we'? You are totes a liability. Plus they would be able to smell you coming a mile away." Rosalie said.

"Hey, I can help. I can't just sit here on my ass and wait for them to come and get me. I have to DO something!" I said, my voice raising as I got worked up. I hated feeling useless, and in a house full of immortal and indestructible creatures, I was useless.

"Calm down Bella. I am able to see things a bit cleared now. I think that whatever protection James was using was limited only to himself and not his coven." Alice said, her eyes glazing over as she looked into the future.

"Yep, things should work out fine. Oh and Bella, your new lingerie is on its way and we will have to order some more soon. It seems Edward is going to have some control issues when it comes to thongs." She said, giggling.

My face must have resembled a tomato and Edward only hung his head and groaned as Emmett's boisterous laughter filled the room. I would have much rather found that out through experimentation, damn psychic.

Edward pulled me up from the couch and we headed into the kitchen to fix me something to eat. Just as I was about to take my first bite of mushroom ravioli, Alice shrieked from the other room. Edward was on his feet and out of the room before I could put down my fork.

"What is it? What's going on?" I asked as I joined them. Alice was quietly sobbing as Jasper tried to console her and Edward looked as if he were in pain. I put my hand on his back, rubbing soothing circles over his stone muscles.

"What are we going to do Edward?" Alice cried, fisting her tiny hands in his shirt. He was silent, staring at some point over her head.

"Son please, what is going on? What did Alice see?" Carlisle asked.

"They're coming." He said, his voice monotone and lifeless.

"Who's coming?" I whispered, cowering into Edward's side.

"The Volturi. And whoever it is that can block our powers is teasing us by only letting certain information through." Alice said, finally releasing Edward from her grasp.

"What information? What did you see?" I demanded.

"No!" Edward yelled suddenly, scaring the shit out of me.

They started speaking faster than I could understand and I knew that whatever Alice and Edward saw must not be good. Finally Edward turned back to me with a huff. "Fine Alice, go ahead. I can see nothing good coming from this."

I looked at Alice, waiting for clarification. "I saw them coming, a huge group of them. And it will not be a fair fight. They have many gifted vampires with them. I saw us all incapacitated as they walked right past us and took you. They killed you right in front of us." She said, starting to weep again as she finished.

I could understand why Edward would want to keep this from me. There seemed to be no way to change Alice's vision. If they were able to cripple these indestructible creatures, what hope did I have against them? I was starting to wonder how much drama one person could be expected to deal with. I had to be hitting my limit soon.

A/N: So, sorry no EPOV for this chapter. RL is kicking my ass and I figured you would rather have me keep my update schedule of Sunday/Wednesday than get an EPOV for an all plot chapter. Although, you never know, I may get inspired if my inbox gets flooded with reviews :)
