Previously:

I pelted them with pillows and pushed them out the door so I could get ready for work. I wanted to get down to breakfast and hopefully see Bella before we left for the boat.

BPOV

I decided I needed a cool shower because of the interesting dream Rose and Alice helped put into my head. I honestly have no idea how those two come up with these things.

Edward is obviously interested in me, I have noticed that in more ways than one, and I know I am definitely interested in him. There's so much more to him than most boys I have met. I can also tell he's just as nervous as I am, and it's nice to have him worry about my feelings instead of trying to push things between us. How did I luck out enough to find someone like him?

"Bella hurry, we're waiting for you," Alice called.

"Okay, 2 minutes!" I decided to let my hair dry on its own today instead of spending the time blow-drying it. I pulled on my shorts and work shirt then put a headband in my hair to keep it out of my face.

Rose and Alice were standing by the doorway. They were all fixed up as usual and anxious to get down to breakfast. As we hurried down the stairs we could hear the sound of voices coming from the kitchen. Rose grabbed Alice and me by the arm and pulled us over to the side, out of view, near the kitchen door.

"Shh," she said. "I want to listen in for a minute. I thought I heard my name." We eagerly tried to listen in, which wasn't too hard since the boys were pretty loud.

"She'll come through that door all fixed up and looking to get my attention, you just watch." Emmett sounded confident.

"Rose always commands attention Emmett. That doesn't necessarily mean her focus is completely on you." Jasper laughed at him.

"She'll walk through that door and come straight over to me. You'll see." Emmett bragged. "Let's see if you have Alice as interested in you as Rosie is in me. Will she grab her breakfast or go directly to you?"

"Hmm, Alice is hard to read sometimes. You never know what's in her head." Jasper thought out loud, tapping his finger to his chin.

"Believe me, you don't want to know what's in her head!" Edward laughed.

"I think she'll come over to say good morning to me first." Jasper answered.

"Well, we'll just see about that. So Edward, are you in on this little wager?" Emmett was always eager for a challenge. He and Jasper were always making bets on everything.

"I don't know guys. I never like to bet against Alice." Edward sounded very hesitant.

"Where have you been the last few minutes? You're not betting on Alice or Rose, you're betting on what you think Bella will do when she comes in the kitchen. Will she grab you first or her breakfast?" Jasper explained.

"Oh well, we are just getting to know each other. I don't think she would be so interested in what I was doing first thing in the morning. If she is coming into the kitchen it's to get something for breakfast." Edward answered and I almost thought I heard a sigh. Alice pulled us further back from the doorway.

"Did you hear that?" She whispered with excitement. "I believe we need to give Jasper and Emmett a reality check and Bella this is the perfect time for you to boost Edward's self esteem! Don't leave him with any doubts that you're interested in him."

We looked at each other with devious smiles and we knew just what had to be done. Walking through the kitchen door, Rose and Alice went straight over to the coffee pot not even looking toward the boys and I waited a minute before I went in.

I watched just out of view as both Jasper and Emmett stared wide-eyed at the girls. Edward was trying not to crack a smile. Rose and Alice talked to each other as they fixed their coffee and decided on which Danish would taste best not once acknowledging the guys were even there.

As I walked through the door I turned straight toward the direction of the table. I walked right over to Edward noticing the grimaces on both the other boy's faces. Edward stood up as I approached. Those gorgeous green eyes were all I needed to see to give me confidence. I stopped right in front of him with only an inch of space between us.

"Good morning handsome," I said not quite sure that I had actually said that out loud. Then all at once I placed my hands on his chest and stretched up on my tiptoes to place a kiss across his warm lips.

Edward responded immediately and kissed me back placing his hands on top of mine holding them to his chest.

"Good morning to you too," He told me. "I did miss you last night."

"I hoped you would." I answered as his lips came back down to mine kissing me so sweetly.

"How the hell does this happen? Are me and Jasper invisible or what?" Emmett's loud booming voice sounded throughout the kitchen. He was looking back and forth between us all.

I pulled away from Edward for a moment to watch with amusement as we both began laughing. Rose and Alice giggled uncontrollably almost choking on their Danish while Jasper stuck his lip out and kicked at the floor.

"Emmett you suck!" Jasper growled as he hit him in the eye with a piece of pastry.

"Ow Rose, I'm injured! I need you!" Emmett whined as he rubbed his eyelid.

"That's right Emmett, you need me. When will you get that through your head?" Rose told him as she walked over, kissed him, and made sure his eye was okay.

Alice skipped over to Jasper and lifted his chin placing a kiss on his poor little pouting lip. The whole scene was actually quite pathetic and when I turned back to look at Edward he was already looking at me with a huge smile. We started laughing again and wrapped our arms around each other. It only took a few seconds before we were both being pelted with napkin balls and small paper plates.

Ducking to get away from the artillery, Edward followed me over to the counter and fixed us both some coffee while I grabbed a Cheese Danish.

"Edward, do you think we could go for a walk or something tonight, just the two of us?" I asked.

"I would really like that." He said and kissed the top of my head. "We better hurry up or we won't have a chance to eat."

When we walked back to the table he held a chair out for me next to where he was sitting. I quickly made myself comfortable and moved my chair right up against Edward's. He smiled and put his arm around me as I ate my breakfast. We were all talking about things we might do today after work until Carlisle and Esme walked through the door.

"What a lovely sight!" said Esme very cheerfully. "It is so nice to see you all getting along so well. We appreciate that you have been flexible with the sleeping arrangements until everything gets back in order."

"Everything's been working out just fine so far Esme. If you need any other help from us just let us know." Jasper said and we all nodded in agreement.

"We have been very pleased with all that you kids have done for us. This home is yours throughout the rest of this summer and we have noticed how wonderfully you have been taking care of it while you're here. So after work we would like all of you to join us for dinner at Margaritaville." Carlisle said with an exuberant smile. "It is not far from the house and we can all walk down together."

We excitedly thanked him and Esme for the compliments and for the dinner invitation. Then we cleaned up our breakfast mess making sure to pick up any remaining paper plates or napkins that were around the room. Carlisle was going to drop Esme off at the shop on his way down to the boat so they left before the rest of us.

We were waiting on the front porch when Jack pulled up in the van. He dropped us off at the shop before taking the guys with him to the boat. Luckily we were pretty busy and the day went by fast. I felt myself getting anxious to see Edward again so I rushed around trying to get things ready to close up faster than I ever had before. I'm not used to this feeling. I've noticed that I feel so much better when I know he's nearby. Am I crazy? Yeah, I guess maybe I am...Crazy for Edward that is.

"Hey Bella," Alice stopped me as I was putting away the broom. "Who put a firecracker in your pants?"

"Very funny Alice, I'm just hungry and want to go out to dinner. It sounds like it's going to be fun." I replied.

"Bella, look at me." She ordered as she stared into my eyes. "Yeah…that's what I thought. You're not hungry for dinner, you're starving for Edward!"

"Alice!" I felt my face turning bright red.

"Oh my Alice, give the poor girl a break." Rose walked up just in time. "I'm sure Bella would much rather eat her dinner and save Edward for dessert."

"Oh…my…gosh!" I screamed while both Rose and Alice were doubled over in laughter. "Thanks for all the love girls. I gotta tell you, if something does happen between me and Edward I am not going to tell either of you!" I dropped my face into my hands and couldn't help myself from laughing.

"Oh, we'll be able to tell without you even saying a word." Rose pointed out with a smirk.

"That's right; you can't hide anything from us." Alice crossed her arms and winked at me. "Besides, you know we love you Bella." She said as she and Rose wrapped their arms around me, pulling me into a hug worthy of Emmett.

They were squeezing me tightly and rocking me back and forth. I couldn't breath and was becoming a bit dizzy but was thankfully saved by the horn. Thank you Jack! Rose and Alice giggled as they let go of me and we turned out the lights and locked the door behind us. Jasper was standing outside the door of the van to help us in. I looked around quickly and noticed Edward wasn't there.

"Where's Edward?" Alice asked noticing the look of concern on my face.

"Oh, he's with Carlisle. We stayed back to help Jack secure the boat. They had to make a stop and would meet us at the restaurant." Emmett answered her.

When we arrived back at the house everyone went to their rooms to get changed. Alice and Rose were once again throwing clothes on the bed deciding what to wear and opted for short skirts and tank tops which was fine with me. I pulled on my khaki skirt, which came about mid thigh, and a dark blue tank with a pair of white canvas tennis shoes. If I went for a walk with Edward I wanted to be comfortable.

We were back downstairs rather quickly, beating even Emmett and Jasper. Esme walked in from the kitchen just as the boys came down the stairs.

"Good, looks like we're all ready." She said with a smile. "We should get there right on time. Bella will you walk up front with me and keep me company?"

"Sure." I smiled back at her happy to not walk alone.

Emmett and Jasper talked about the group of boy scouts they took out on a tour today. Before we knew it we were standing in front of Margaritaville. The music was very upbeat and we could smell the wonderful food. I could hear Emmett's stomach growl as he headed straight for the door pulling Rose behind him.

As I stepped through the doorway I noticed Carlisle sitting at table in the far corner. He stood up when he saw us walk in and waved us over. I had only taken a few steps when I felt two arms wrap around my waist, from behind me. This should have scared me but right away I felt my body relax and I wrapped my arms over the top of his.

"Edward, I was just looking for you." I felt him rest his head on my shoulder.

"How did you know it was me?" His sultry voice whispered in my ear.

"I could never mistake the feel of your arms around me; I like how it feels." I was surprised I'd said that out loud. I turned myself so I was facing him and saw a startled look on his face. "Does that bother you?"

"I guess I am always shocked to hear you say things like that. I just never thought it was possible that you could feel the same way I do." His green eyes seemed to look straight into my soul as if he was searching for something.

"That would actually be my thoughts too." I confessed while I was lost in that beautiful emerald sea.

"Ahem," someone cleared their throat, "Are you going to stare into each others eyes all night or would you like to join us for dinner? As much fun as it would be to live on love, you really need to eat too." Carlisle walked away laughing.

Love? I know deep inside I keep telling myself I'm falling in love with Edward. I was worried that I was being silly. That it's just a one sided thing and he wouldn't feel that strongly for me, but I can't deny it anymore. It seems very obvious to everyone else that we are attracted to each other. Why are we the last ones to see it? I knew I didn't want to be anywhere else with anyone else.

We sat down next to each other at the table noticing the smiles from everyone as they glanced at us over their menus. This made me blush uncomfortably until I felt Edward take my hand in his under the table.

The waitress was just coming over with two pitchers of drinks. Carlisle and Esme ordered fish dinners and the rest of us decided that we just had to try the Cheeseburger in Paradise. The atmosphere here was very festive. A featured band was warming up to play and most of the tables were filled.

"We thought you might enjoy coming here." Carlisle commented. "So, what have you been doing with the house all to yourselves?"

"This place is great!" Alice replied as she danced in her seat listening to the band. "This has been such a fun summer so far. We have watched a lot of movies, played cards and beat the pants off of the boys (she winked at us), walked around town and shopped and relaxed by the pool. Last night we kicked Emmett out of his room and had a girl's night. It's so wonderful here. Even working for you and Esme is the best! I never thought I would have such a good time doing my job!"

"I plan to come back every year if you need me to." Emmett smiled and then added, "Well, as long as Rose is coming back too." Rose smiled cutely at Emmett.

"I see things have become a lot more comfortable between all of you lately." Said Esme.

"We're putting up with each other." Jasper replied with a nod causing us all to start laughing. The waitress then returned with our food. Everyone began eating right away and we commented on how delicious everything was. As we were finishing up Carlisle asked for our attention.

"When you are finished you can stay and enjoy the music or find other interesting things to do. Esme and I are meeting some friends for a game of cards tonight so we won't be staying with you. Tomorrow morning when Jack picks you up he will bring everyone down to the boat. Since our senior citizen tour has rescheduled I thought I would use the opening in the schedule to take everyone out so that we can enjoy a chance to snorkel ourselves." He paused to get our reaction. We were all very happy with the announcement. "Esme's lady friends are covering the shop for the day so that will not be a problem. Enjoy your evening!"

We all told Esme and Carlisle Thank You as they left. We decided to separate into couples and do our own thing tonight. Jasper, Alice, Rose and Emmett were going to stay here and enjoy some music and dancing. Edward and I thought it would be a perfect chance to go for our walk.

We left Margaritaville hand in hand and walked down Duval Street. The downtown area sure came alive in the evenings. We pointed out different interesting things we saw along the way and decided to head back to the house and sit on the balcony since it was such a nice night. We knew everyone would be out for a while and we would have some peace and quiet.

"Are you having a nice summer Bella?" He asked as we walked the last block to the house.

"It's been really nice. How about you?" I turned to look at him as I asked.

"It's been more than I ever expected." Edward answered as we reached the front door.

"We can sit on the balcony outside of Emmett's room. It has a good view of the sunset." I suggested. "But we better hurry so we don't miss it."

Edward quickly opened the door and locked it behind us. He grabbed me by the arm and swung me around him and onto his back taking the stairs two at a time. He rushed through Emmett's room and out onto the balcony stopping near the rail. I hopped down from his back and fixed my skirt, which had slid way up to the tops of my legs.

"Sorry." Edward smirked at me staring at my legs making me blush.

Edward stepped behind me wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder like he did at the restaurant. The sun was setting and cast beautiful colors across the sky. Edward held me against him humming a sweet tune in my ear and swaying back and forth. I closed my eyes as I rested back against his chest listening to the sound of his voice.

"Bella, there is something I have been thinking about a lot and I need to tell you…" He seemed to be struggling for the words. "I…I need to know if maybe you feel the same."

"Edward…" I began.

"Don't say anything yet," he stopped me then lowered his mouth to my neck softly kissing his way up. I felt his warm breath against my ear and I let out a small whimper. He held my arms against my stomach under his and I couldn't turn around to face him. I pressed myself back against him waiting for him to finish what he was going to say. I was in no way prepared for what I was about to hear.

"Bella, I am falling in love with you…and I don't know what to do about that." He whispered in my ear. I felt my knees go weak and Edward must have felt it too. He quickly turned me around to face him. "Bella are you okay?"

"Edward..." I stared at him in a daze placing my hands on his face. His eyes frantically searched my face for some kind of reaction to his words. "Edward I'm falling in love with you too." I said as I saw the realization register in his eyes.

Edward's lips crashed into mine as he pulled me urgently into him with one arm around my back and one around my waist. I tangled my fingers through his gorgeous bronze hair and immediately opened my mouth letting our tongues embrace hungrily until we had to take a moment to breathe. We rested our foreheads against each other's.

"Edward, feel my heart." I said as I reached around my back grabbing his hand and placing it on my chest. I kept my hand on top of his as he felt my heart beat out of control. I had never had a boy tell me he was in love with me and I was scared and excited all at the same time. I knew that Edward was nothing but serious when he said those words.

We both continued to breathe heavily as we looked into each other's eyes. Entwining my fingers in his, I slowly slid our hands down the center of my chest feeling his fingers brush against my swells. When our hands reached the front of my waist his fingers were warm on my skin. My top had pulled up just enough to expose my stomach and Edward closed his eyes for a moment as a quiet moan escaped his slightly parted lips. I felt myself becoming aroused as I tightened my grip on his hand and moved his fingertips across the front of my stomach. I then pulled his hand up under my shirt until it was resting on my bra. His eyes never left mine as a ragged breath escaped my lips when he let his fingers slide under the lace and brush my nipple. He brought both of his hands down to my hips and pulled me into him as he kissed me passionately.

I knew I couldn't pull myself away from him nor did I want him to stop touching me. This was it and unless he didn't want me in this way I wasn't going to let this stop. I put both of my hands on top of his one more time entwining our fingers again. At the same time as he slid his hands down my legs I pressed my hips into him and felt every bit of his desire for me. When our hands reached the bottom of my short skirt, I slid them up and around to the curve of my bottom. Edward's fingers trailed along under the lace of my underwear leaving fire in its wake. I moved my hands up to his chest as he cupped my bottom and lifted me up. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. We continued to kiss passionately on the balcony, me in Edward's arms, as the sun set behind us. What a perfect Twilight.

"Bella…" he said as he pulled his mouth away from mine. My name rolled off his tongue in such a sultry way it made me moan. "Oh god, do you know what you are doing to me?"

"Edward I am not going to stop unless you make me." I said to him very seductively and pulled his shirt collar to the side as I began to suck on his neck.

EPOV

Her words shocked and excited me and my body instantly reacted. I wanted nothing more than to take Bella to bed but I was still hesitant. I didn't want to take something so special away from her if she wasn't certain and I didn't want her to regret anything. Being a gentleman was becoming more and more difficult as I felt her breasts press up against my chest. She continued to suck on my neck and my worries slowly faded away.

I carried her through the balcony doorway, into the hall and up the stairs to the loft. I pressed her back against the wall by the stairs and ground my arousal into her.

"Can you feel what you do to me Bella? Are you sure you want to do this? We don't have to." My words came out in a low growl as my lips found her collarbone. I trailed my tongue all the way to the center of her neck and up her chin back to her lips.

Every bit of fear she had was melting away as she slid her hands down my chest. She pulled my shirt up and lifted it over my head. "I'm sure Edward." She began placing feather soft kisses on my upper chest as her fingers slid down stopping just inside of my waistband, causing me to snap my head up and stare into her eyes. I tried to speak but couldn't form the words. I had to clear my throat, "Bella?"

"Hmm?" She mumbled from my chest.

"God, nothing, everything." I couldn't form a coherent thought with her hands all over me like this. "You're wearing too many clothes." I was still holding her up with her legs wrapped around my waist as her back was pressed against the wall. I grabbed the hem of her tank top and lifted it off. My breath hitched as I looked down to see the angel I was holding. Her blue, lace bra was practically see-through and her nipples were standing at attention. "You are so beautiful." I slowly and softly placed my palms over her swells and stopped breathing.

She leaned forward and we kissed passionately, our tongues entwining like two dancing serpents. My hands moved from her chest to her bottom and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold my control much longer. "Bed, we need to get to the bed." I grunted as I pulled away from the wall. I carried her over to the bed in the corner and slowly placed her down. She lay in the middle of the bed on her back with her knees slightly bent. I stood over her taking in the beauty in front of me; she was offering herself to me.

I kneeled on the bed beside her and slowly leaned down to kiss her softly. She pulled me down on top of her as our kiss deepened. I let my knee rest between her legs as my hand rested on her stomach. I kissed her jaw line, down to her neck and along her collarbone as my hand moved to her heaving chest. I kissed down the center of her chest, making sure to place a soft kiss on the center of each swell, before I looked up at her. I wanted to make sure she was okay with going further before I continued. She gave me a shy smile as I undid the front clasp of her bra never breaking eye contact with her.

I slowly let my eyes move down her body to the magnificent site in front of me. Her breasts were the perfect size and her nipples were taut, pink peaks. "Perfection." I whispered trying to reassure her. I must have stared a little too long because she self-consciously tried to bring her arms up to cover herself. I grasped her wrists softly and placed them over her head. "Don't Bella, you are absolutely stunning." I held her wrists with one hand as my other hand moved to her chest, massaging and kneading her sumptuous breasts. I began to kiss her neck again, making my way down to the mounds in my hand. I looked up at her before I kissed the top of her left breast. She moaned my name as I took her nipple into my mouth. I had never tasted anything as sweet as Bella. Her skin tasted like peaches and it was a delicatessen I could become addicted to. As my mouth continued its ministrations on one breast my hand continued to massage the other. I switched breasts making sure to lavish the same amount of attention on each.

Once I released her wrists she immediately put her hands in my hair. She was moaning my name like an angelic symphony. I moved my hand down to the top of her skirt slowly dipping my finger beneath the khaki material. Bella didn't say anything to stop me so I slowly undid the button and slipped her skirt down. She had on matching lace, blue panties and my breath hitched in my throat. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. "Exquisite," I whispered as I kissed her stomach and my hand trailed along the outline of her panties. I hesitantly pulled at the band of her panties not sure if I should take it any farther when her hands stopped me.

"Now you're wearing too many clothes Edward." She giggled as she pointed her thin finger at my jeans. I shrugged as I climbed off the bed and pulled my jeans down leaving me in my white boxers. I climbed back onto the bed immediately going back to her panties. She squirmed a little uncomfortably as I slowly pulled them down exposing her completely to me. I tried not to stare; I didn't want to make her more uncomfortable than she already was. I kissed a trail back up her body to her luscious mouth as my hand lingered close to her core. I wanted to touch her but I wasn't certain what to do or how to do it and I wasn't sure if she really wanted me to.

"Touch me Edward, please." She pushed my hand down toward the area I most wanted to touch.

"Are you sure Bella?"

"Do you not want to? I thought you…" She turned her head away and tried to cover herself again. I stopped her and cupped her chin with my hand.

"Of course I want to…God; I want you more than I've wanted anything else in my life. I've dreamed of this moment since the first time I saw you. Please don't cover yourself up, let me see you." She looked me in the eyes and smiled as I slowly moved my hand down her body resting in between her legs. As I slowly moved my fingers up and down her moist core, I looked into her brown eyes. She moaned and then closed her eyes as she bit her lip. I wasn't certain what I was doing, going only on instinct, but she seemed to be enjoying it. I slid one finger inside her and began moving it in and out at a slow pace. I slid a second finger in and almost lost it at the sensation and feel of her. I placed my thumb on the bundle of nerves further up and began rubbing a circle in step with the movement of my fingers. She moaned my name and arched her back up. Her hips began to move with my hand and her breathing became heavy and rapid. Watching her chest move up and down along with the sensations of touching her almost brought me to my own climax. I couldn't believe I was actually doing it right but was thrilled that I could give her this kind of pleasure.

"Edward, oh God, Edward." She was panting and I could feel her muscles clamping down as she arched her back up again and screamed my name. She relaxed back into the mattress and I withdrew my hand, moving back up to kiss her sweetly. I couldn't help the apparent smirk of satisfaction on my face.

"Was that okay? Did I please you enough?" I needed to hear her tell me I had pleased her, after all I am a man who sometimes needs his ego stroked.

"Uh-huh, that was more than okay. My God, I never knew my body could feel like that. Thank you Edward." She kissed me sweetly before pushing on my shoulders.

"Bella? What are you doing?" I allowed her to push me off her and onto my back. Her hands moved up and down my chest as she placed a soft kiss each place her hands had touched.

"My turn to please you." She started to pull my boxers down before I grabbed her wrists and stopped her.

"You don't have to do that Bella."

"I want to." She smiled demurely at me as she pulled my boxers off. She sat there for a moment drinking me in, her eyes wide and her mouth forming an "O." It was my turn to become shy and I cleared my throat to pull her out of her ogling.

"Sorry, I've never seen a naked man before…well right in front of me that is. You are the beautiful one Edward Cullen." She slowly moved back up my body kissing my chest and neck as her breasts pressed against my skin melting me on contact. Her tiny hand grasped my manhood and I couldn't breathe; no one had ever touched me there before. My breathing became labored with each stroke of her hand. She moved her hand up and down slowly, torturing me with each pass.

"Harder Bella, grip harder, faster." I was shocked at the words that came out of my mouth but I couldn't take the slow pace she was moving at any longer. She hesitated for a moment, looking up at me through her dark lashes. "You won't hurt me, I promise." I said as reassuringly as I could.

She gripped me harder and began moving faster. I found my hips moving up and down to match her pace and movement. "Oh God, Bella…that's it baby, don't stop." Where is this dirty talk coming from? She buried her head in my neck and began to suck on the soft skin. I knew she was going to leave a mark but I didn't care. I closed my eyes as I felt my own release coming fast and hard. I grunted and called out her name as I climaxed. "BELLA, SHIT!"

She stopped moving and released her grasp on me as I panted, trying to bring myself back to reality. "That was amazing! Sweetheart, you were perfect." I grabbed her face and began kissing her passionately. I used the sheet to clean myself up and then rolled her over onto her back.

"I did okay then?" She asked me shyly.

"Oh yes." I answered as my hands began moving along her body again. I wanted more, No...I needed more of her. I was hovering over her body, supporting my weight with my arms as I positioned myself between her legs. "Are you sure? We can stop if you want. I don't want you to do anything you are not ready for."

"I'm ready. I want you Edward, right now." She grabbed my shoulders and pulled me down onto her as she spread her legs further apart, inviting me in. I hesitated a moment before placing myself at her….BANG! SLAM!

"What was that?" She asked and we both looked toward the stairs leading up to the loft.

"LUCY...I'M HOME!!"

"Shit, its Emmett! They're back." Bella whispered in a panicked tone.

I quickly climbed off her and handed her clothes back to her. "Quick, get dressed. I really don't want your brother to find us like this. I'd like to live to touch you tomorrow." I chuckled as I raced to put my clothes back on. I helped her off the bed and grasped her hand as we made our way down the stairs. I stopped at the landing and pulled her close to me.

"I love you Isabella." I whispered before I pulled her into an embrace and kissed her fervently. After a minute, I pulled away leaving both of us gasping for air.

"I love you too Edward." She giggled and I led her down the stairs to the first floor. We made it halfway down before we bumped into Emmett. He froze on the stairs looking at us as if he'd seen a ghost. I saw his eyes rake up and down our figures before stopping at my eyes. He had a look of pure menace and for a moment I was actually afraid.

"Hey Em, have fun tonight?" Bella asked him, trying to deter him.

"Not as much as you two did apparently." He scowled.

"What do you mean?" Bella released my hand and placed her hands on her hips.

"Have you looked in the mirror Bells? You have sex hair and your skirt is on backwards. Edward is giving sex hair a new meaning and his shirt is inside out. Oh, not to mention Eddie…you've got a hickey the size of Texas on your neck. Mind telling me what you two have been doing?" He looked pissed and he was directing it all at Edward.

"None of your business Emmett now get out of the way." Bella yelled.

"I don't think so little sis. I demand an explanation and I think Eddie and I need to have a talk outside."

"Not this big brother crap again. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm a grown woman and I don't owe you anything? Now get the fuck out of our way." I turned to look at Bella with awe and shock; I had never heard her speak like that before. Emmett must have realized he wasn't going to get far tonight and acquiesced. He turned to the side to let us pass and I placed my hand on the small of Bella's back to direct her down. I was about to pass by Emmett when he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"This isn't over. You and I WILL be having a chat later." He said through clenched teeth.

"But of course Emmett, whatever you say." I smirked and followed Bella into the living room.

Damn, we had come so close but were interrupted. As we sat on the sofa watching a movie with the others I couldn't help but think back at the night's events. Bella and I had declared our feelings for each other and had taken our physical relationship to the next level. It was wonderful to feel her naked body under mine and what that woman did to me left me begging for more. With Emmett's glare burning a hole in my head, I was relieved that we didn't go any further than we had. However, I was ready to take that next step and hoped it would be soon.

A/N: Awww, you're sad that they got interrupted once again, but excited cause Emmett is all worked up one more time! LOL

Yeah, Edward is about to get a talking to. Maybe Bella should've run her fingers through that sex hair that Edward had going on before anyone saw them.

Geez Bella! I would have gladly done that for you!! LMAO Wouldn't we all?!

Please review, it's the least you can do. Thanks!!
