Hey, sorry it's really late. RL has truly kicked my ass this week! :(

I can't promise the daily updates all the time at the moment but I'll try my best!

You are all amazing, thanks for sticking with me!

My other half is going to be picking the name for the EPOV chapter tonight. I'll be PMing you if you are the one chosen.

Just in case it put you off reviewing... You can now. :)

Leave me some love please!

Thanks Mi.

I don't own Twilight!

The table is huge but we're all squashed up on one end. Mr Masen is at the head, Jessica on his left and Edward on the right. I slide into the seat next to Edward, not daring to look at him as I seat myself.

As soon as I sit, Jessica starts talking.

"So Bella, where did you move from?"

"Forks." I smile as her face screws up in thought, it almost looks painful.

"I think I've heard of it. It's a really small place, isn't it?" She pinches her forefinger and thumb together, to reiterate her point.

"Yes, it's got a population of about three and a half thousand people."

She laughs and snorts at the same time.

"I just love how you know that. How cute."

I'm tempted to kick her under the table but manage to stop myself. She's like, three different people in one body.

We mainly talk about work after that, until Mr Masen brings up Charlie.

"So is Charlie going to come and visit soon? I'd love to catch up with him."

"I'm not sure, I've only planned to go and see him. I doubt he'd take vacation off to come here and he goes fishing at the weekends."

If thats one thing about Charlie, he likes his little world and he thrives on routine. I couldn't imagine him being anywhere but Forks.

I find out that they went to school together and it's lovely hearing Mr Masen so care free and happy as he chats about the fun they used to get up to. He's known for being both stern but fair, but this is a new side to him. His cheeks are red and his eyes seem to sparkle as he reminisces.

After we've eaten the main course, I feel Edward's hand grab my thigh under the table. I sit up in shock, my eyes darting nervously towards Mr Masen and Jessica who are chatting about her work. I glance over at Edward, who has a very cheeky look on his face. I swat his hand away, which makes him laugh as he leans back in his chair. I sit back myself and enjoy the view.

Jessica clears her throat, loudly.

"So my Edward here was telling me about this new contract at work, Eddie. It sounds very interesting."

Edward looks a little pained at having to converse with Jessica but he answers.

"Yes, it is. I'm sure Victoria and Bella will be able to figure out exactly what they want for this campaign."

Edward senior smiles at his son and then looks at me.

"You should be finding out about this on Monday. However, we 've just secured a shot at helping a very well known sex and fetish shop."

Jessica smirks over at me. I really hope she doesn't start talking again. Thankfully she just winks at me and giggles under her napkin.

"That sounds, interesting."

Thankfully Mr Masen can't see the irony in me being, even partially responsible for a sex shop's advertising campaign. No wonder Edward is involved. It's most definitely more his forte.

I can see him in my periphery, laughing again. I'm going to get him back for this.

The rest of the evening is very pleasant, fortunately Jessica retires to bed early. We excuse ourselves after a while, thanking Charlotte for the lovely meal and Mr Masen for inviting me to his lovely home.

Edward senior pulls me to the side before we leave, he gives me a short hug and thanks me. I'm not sure what it's for but I return it.

We get into the car and wave to Charlotte, who stays on the door step to see us off. When we get to the end of the driveway, Edward turns to me.

"Shall we go back to mine? It's not far."

I agree with a nod of my head, I feel nervous because I've got a feeling that we might be covering a base again.

We get to a beautiful and huge building, we park in the underground car lot. In the elevator, Edward pushes a series of buttons and we start to ascend. I can feel his close proximity, but he's been quiet on the way here and I'm worried that there's something wrong. I glance over and catch him looking at me, he smiles but it looks tight. I glance back down at my shoes.

When the doors finally open we walk out and through the door. His apartment is lovely, it's all open spaces and modern. I walk over to the huge floor to ceiling windows and look out at the beautiful skyline of Seattle. The lights twinkle softly, it's truly beautiful.

"Would you like a drink?" His voice comes from somewhere over my left shoulder.

I nod my head.

"Yes, please."

I walk over to a huge bookcase, which is absolutely stuffed full of books and a few photos. I pick up a small frame, it's of a beautiful brunette who's bouncing a small child on her knee. Her face is full of happiness and the child looks equally happy. The hair is what gives him away, this must be Edward and his Mom. I suddenly feel bad for snooping. I feel him before I hear him as he puts his chin on my shoulder and his hand on my waist.

"That's my Mom."

"She's beautiful." My voice is very small. I have one photo of my mom, I know how precious these things are. I delicately place it back on the side and turn, so I'm facing him.

"You still haven't answered me." He stares at me in anticipation.

"I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about? I mean, are you talking about how you had fun laughing at me tonight?" I quirk an eyebrow. I'm not mad, at all. I just don't want to tell him what he wants to know.

"Im sorry, I like how you make me smile." His grin shows off his perfect teeth, I can't help but smile back.

"Why have you decided to work with your Father?"

"I can't keep living my life like I was. He always asks me when I will join him in that world and I just decided it was time." He brushes his fingers against my cheek.

"Life was tough after my Mom died. I won't ever truly forgive him for it."

We both move and sit on the big curved couch and he passes me a glass of red wine.

"He seems pleased about working with you."

"He is. From the age of eighteen, I only ever spoke to him when there was a problem with my money. at one point I was sure he was generating the problems on purpose."

We sit in silence for a moment, drinking our wine.

"What do you think of Jessica?

"A huge, purple and silver vibrator." I reply, before he's barely finished.

"What?" He coughs round his wine.

"That's what I bought from her shop. Rose dragged me in there. That's what I ended up getting."

My cheeks burn at my admission.

"Have you used it?" His eyes are wide.

"Nope."

"We may have to change that, soon."

I don't even realise that I do it, one moment I'm sitting innocently on the couch. The next I'm straddling him and kissing his gorgeous, pouty mouth. He pulls me into him and I moan into his mouth as I feel his hands explore my body. Suddenly he stops.

I pout at him which makes him laugh. He gets up, pulling me up with him and carries me, still clinging onto him like some kind of spider monkey, to the bedroom. My heart is pounding as he places me onto his huge bed. I stare up at him through my lashes and gulp when he starts fiddling with his belt.

I watch as he's all fingers and thumbs. I pull him by his belt loops, so I can reach properly. I kneel on the bed and unbuckle his belt for him. I have no idea why I'm helping him though, my fingers shake slightly as I pull the belt apart. I'm aware that I'm very close to his junk.

I glance back up at him and I see him swallow, his eyes dark and forbidding.

"You have no idea how it makes me feel, seeing you do that."

"Why are you doing this Edward? You can have any woman, ones that will give you what you want, when you want it."

"I have no idea. I just know that right now, I want to be with you."

I find myself smiling, my flushed cheeks a testament to how he effects me.

I feel the bed dip as he places his hands onto the bed on either side of me and his lips find mine. I feel the familiar feeling as my body reacts automatically to him and he pushes me gently so I fall back onto the bed. My head hits the soft pillow and he's over me, his mouth back on mine. My heart is still thumping loudly, I'm surprised he can't hear it.

Almost as though he hears my thoughts, he places his hand between my breasts.

"Wow, are you nervous? Your heart is going crazy."

"A little." I shrug.

"We will only ever do what you're okay with." He speaks slowly, passion burns behind each word.

I nod my head, silently and run my fingers over the light stubble on his jaw. He makes a goofy face at me, making me laugh. He stops abruptly and stares down at me. His stare is intense and it stops my giggles immediately, his beautiful green eyes almost stop my heart.

"Your smile is mesmerising." He murmurs.

I would do anything for this man, he makes me feel like the only woman in the world. He makes me feel special. However stupid and idiotic that sounds. The way he looks at me, it burns deep inside me.

He pulls the straps of my dress down over my shoulders, his fingers gentle. His eyes don't leave mine as he pulls the dress down my body. The material flutters to the floor, as he yanks it off.

I'm left in my underwear and shoes. He kisses my knee as he lifts my leg and pulls off my shoe. He does the same with the other and holds my foot in his hand for a second before his eyes find mine again. I can hear my breathing as he crawls back up the bed. My fingers find the buttons on his shirt and I unbutton them one by one.

He pulls himself free of his shirt and throws it to the floor. I stare at his beautiful chest in all its splendour. I run my fingers over his muscles. it's all hard lines and smooth. I look at the happy trail that leads into his pants. I trail my fingers over the hair and I dip lower and un button his pants. I look up and see him watching me.

He stands up and pulls off his pants. He drops them on the floor before reaching down and pulling off his socks, one by one. Even his bare feet are beautiful. He's standing there in his boxers. I watch him as he gets back into bed and I turn my face, so we are nose to nose and we both lay there in our underwear. I lean in to kiss him and he responds straight away. He pulls me so I end up laying on top of him.

His hands run along my sides, as we kiss. I can feel him beneath me, my skin against his, making me heat up everywhere. I can feel his erection pressing against my tummy and I rub against it. He flips us over so I'm the bed and he's leaning on his hands above me.

"Are you ready to take this to the next level?"

"Like, third base?" I choke out, nervous, because it's starting to feel a lot more intimate than before.

He nods his head, amusement in his eyes.

"Although, we don't have to use baseball metaphors all the time."

"Okay." I'm pretty sure that comes out all desperate, instead of breathy and sexy, like I intended.

He doesn't seem to mind as he backs up. He kisses my belly button gently as he descends down my body, leaving little kisses as he goes. He reaches my panties and I suck in a shaky breath as I feel his fingers ghost over the material. He hooks his fingers into the sides of them and then he pulls them gently down. I am overly aroused and very sure that I'm wet already. He sits back and just looks at me, there. Like he did when he saw my boobs for the first time.

This time I don't feel the need to question him.

"Fuck. You are perfect. I've. It's beautiful." He stumbles over his words and it's kind of adorable.

I feel him run his fingers over the little bit of hair in between my legs. I keep myself groomed. I'm not a lover of having hair anywhere, but I don't like the thought of being completely bald down there.

His eyes flit up to mine for a second.

"Is this okay?" He murmurs as his fingers run along the inside of my thigh.

"Yes." I moan as I feel his fingers trailing over my skin.

I actually pant as I feel his lips on the inside of my thigh and I feel his kisses trailing upwards. I squirm, anticipation of him getting to his goal. It almost feels like it's throbbing with need. He kisses where my hair is and I move automatically, he smiles up at me. To see him there between my legs, looking up at me. It's just incredibly hot.

His lips touch me again and it's lower down, against me. I push my hips up against his lips. His hands pull my knees apart and I feel his tongue against my clit, the sensation is so acute and mind blowing. I can't help it, I gasp.

"Fuck!"

He sits up and grins that crooked smile at me, my wetness around his mouth.

"I haven't even started yet, I'm seriously going to have to tie you down at this rate." His voice a growl, his eyes dark.

I hate that he's not back down there, I squirm against the sheets.

"What do you want me to do Bella?"

"That, please. Again." I gasp out.

He starts slow and I can feel his tongue as it slips into my entrance, then it's on my clit again, the sensations are overwhelming. It's not long, after feeling what he's doing down there, before I explode. It's the most amazing orgasm that I've ever had. I automatically try to close my legs.

He opens them up and slides two fingers into me.

"Fuck, you weren't lying. You are so fucking tight. I can't wait to be inside you, Bella. you're definitely ready."

His words start a fire down below again and I almost plead him to just do it. Now. I have to mentally remind myself that, I'm doing this for a reason.

I sit up and crawl over to him. He grins down at me as I pull his face to mine and kiss him. I can taste myself on him. He groans as I bite his lip.

"I want to." I stare at his crotch and he laughs.

"Maybe in the morning."

He holds me close, my head on his chest. I'm a bit disappointed.

"Why? Don't you like it?" I follow him as he gets in under the covers and we resume our positions. He pulls me so our faces are close.

"I do like it. I just like to be in control. It's part of who I am. To give yourself over to someone like that is a big deal. For me, anyway."

I can feel my frown.

"Okay." I don't really understand. I know it's a big deal, but I just let him do that to me. I want to give as well as take. I almost feel like I should be giving him a trophy or something for that mind blowing orgasm.

"Go to sleep." He kisses me on the nose.

"Mmmhmm." I mumble because I realise just how absolutely exhausted I feel.

I fall asleep to the sound of his heart and the feeling of his fingers rubbing against my arm softly.
