A/N: Well, thank you to all of you who took the time to review the last chapter. I knew it would be slightly cliché, but I think that's why it works. Anyway, he comes a little steam to hold you over until I can write another chapter and update. It will probably be a few days, especially since I agreed to tutor after school a couple days a week.

DISCLAIMER: insert funny, witty comment about not being Stephenie Meyer here…

April 2, back at the hotel

The ride back from the park was quiet, with all of us beyond tired. I think the sun wore us out more than we wanted to admit to everyone else. I, however, was in the best mood, and didn't think that I would be able to get to sleep tonight. Bella and I were together, and she had kissed me back. It amazed me that she would even consider giving me a second chance.

Currently, Alice was debating whether or not to head down to the pool to soak for a few minutes before bed. I decided that since I had all this excess energy built up that I would head down to the pool. Alice saw me grab my swim trunks, and got a huge grin on her face. I figured that it meant her mind was made up to go swimming. I went to the bathroom to change as she headed towards the phone. She was probably calling Jasper to get him down to the pool. That meant Rose would probably go down with Emmett, and maybe, just maybe, Bella would be down as well.

I was changed quickly and grabbed my towel as I headed towards the elevators. I thought about knocking on Bella's door before I went down, but decided that Alice would probably wait for her. The elevator reached the bottom floor and I made my way to the pool area. I decided to wade in the swimming pool as I waited for my friends. Soon, my excess energy showed itself and I started swimming the length of the pool over and over. I was on my fourth length when I heard a gasp coming from slightly above me. I stopped swimming and looked up to see Bella looking down at me. She had a towel wrapped firmly around her body. I noticed that the T shirt she had worn yesterday was missing from her shoulders, leaving navy blue straps exposed around her neck.

She and I stared at each other for a few minutes until I finally broke the silence. "So are you going to get into the water or are you just going to stare at me in the water?" I gave her my crooked grin that I knew she loved.

She smiled and turned away from me. She walked over to the hot tub and covered herself with the water as she uncovered herself with the towel. She was able to keep herself covered from me at all times. I heard her sigh happily across the pool area. I took a deep breath and decided to join Bella in the hot tub. I climbed out of the pool and shook my hair out of the cool water as water drops ran down my torso. I saw Bella watching my movements, so I decided to walk slowly towards her. Soon, I was seated beside her with one arm wrapped around her shoulders.

She leaned into me and wrapped her arms around my waist. Now it was my turn to sigh happily. I kissed Bella's hair and felt her shiver slightly. I asked her if she was cold and she blushed slightly as she shook her head. I pulled her closer and let my eyes wander down her body. The bikini she was wearing was blurred by the jets of the hot tub, but I could see that it didn't cover much. Just this realization was enough to cause a certain part of my anatomy to jump up in excitement. I tried to breathe deeply and calm myself, but Bella began running her fingertips along my abs.

"Bella…" I tried to say, but it came out as more of a moan than a stern voice.

Bella looked up at me with a little evil glint in her eye. "What Edward? Is there something wrong?" She was trying to act innocent, but she knew exactly what type of effect she was having on me.

"I don't think you know what you're doing to me, Ms. Swan. It would probably be smart if you stopped rubbing me…" I couldn't say anything else, because Bella's fingers kept inching lower and lower.

"Don't worry, Edward. I'll protect you. I won't let anything bad happen to you," she said with a smirk before placing a kiss on my lips. Her lips didn't linger on mine for long. She was soon kissing my jaw line towards my ears. All the while, her hands kept inching dangerously lower. My body was reacting to her touch and it was taking all my self-control to not rip off our clothing in that moment.

Bella, had other ideas, however, and soon she was dipping her fingers below the hem of my swim trunks. I gasped at her daring contact and she whispered in my ear, "Do you want me to stop?"

My brain was muddled and I could barely form a coherent thought, let alone sentence. I didn't want anymore regrets with Bella, and I didn't want to push her. But my body was thinking the exact opposite. It was practically screaming for Bella to keep trailing her fingers lower. "I… um… you… we…"

Apparently Bella took that as her cue to reach below my shorts and grab hold of my very excited member. I let out an involuntary moan as her fingertips began rubbing up and down my length. Bella returned her lips to mine and caught my next moan as she wrapped her hand around my shaft and began stroking me. She was slowly raising my body temperature and heart rate. Her hand picked up speed as her lips moved to my ears to whisper. "Can you imagine yourself in me? Can you imagine our bodies connecting Edward?"

I was dumbstruck. Who knew Bella had this side in her. Hearing her talk this way was such a turn on that I lost complete control and felt my release explode on her hand and in my shorts. Bella was able to catch my sounds with her mouth when she returned her lips to mine just in time. She smirked as she pulled away and mouthed the words "guess so" before pulling her hand out of my shorts.

She moved to the other side of the hot tub watching me as I tried to get my body under control. I listened to my heart rate as it pounded throughout my body. Sweat had formed on my forehead from what had just happened. I couldn't believe that Bella, my Bella, had the guts to do what she had just done. Once my breathing had returned to normal, I moved to where Bella was.

"That wasn't very nice, Ms. Swan. You moved away from me after that little episode." I tried to slow my movements as I stalked over to where she was sitting. She looked a little terrified at first, but that evil glint in her eyes returned quickly, hiding or eliminating any fear that she had.

"Well, I just thought you would want me to leave, seeing as how that wasn't very nice of me," she said with that same smirk on her face. She was such a little vixen that I just had to touch her. I wanted to put my hands all over her body.

"I'm thinking that fair is fair. I mean, you got to touch me, I want to touch you." I bent down to kiss her beautiful lips. She sighed in contentment as I sat beside her. I pulled her onto my lap so her legs were on one side of me. She leaned down to kiss me and I was content to just wrap my arms around her waist while she wrapped her hands around my neck and into my hair.

Soon our kisses became more and more passionate. I could feel the excitement building in me again, and I was sure that Bella could feel my excitement as well considering where she was seated. I removed one of my hands from her waist down to her upper thigh. I felt Bella gasp as my fingers pushed aside the material separating her folds from me. I parted her legs slightly so I could run my entire palm along her hot center. She was wet, and not from the water. I let my thumb rub her bundle of nerves and quickly had to catch a moan that was escaping her lips.

Bella's breathing was becoming more and more erratic as I rubbed her clit in a circular pattern. I kept rubbing her bundle and slipped a finger into her hot opening. Her reaction was instantaneous as she moaned, loudly, into my mouth. I removed my lips from hers long enough to whisper into her ear. I figured that if she could talk dirty, then so can I. "Can you feel me inside you Bella?"

She whimpered as I stopped pumping my finger into her. I let it just sit inside her folds. She nodded her head as her breathing was loud in my ear. "I want to hear you Bella," I told her in as stern a voice as possible.

"Y…yes.. Edward. Please…" she whimpered.

"Please what, Bella?" I asked her. I was pretty sure I knew what she wanted, but I needed to hear her say it.

"Don't stop, Edward. I want to feel you moving in me." She moved her mouth to meet mine as my finger jammed into her again. He moan went right into my mouth and the vibrations sent shivers down my spine.

I quickly added a second finger into her as my thumb returned its work on her clit. Her core was so tight and warm that a third finger was soon added. I could feel her heart beating as our chest met while our mouths and tongues battled for dominance. "Cum for me, Bella," I said huskily in her ear.

Within seconds of my statement, I felt her walls clench and squeeze against my fingers. Her juices spilled onto my fingers, completely saturating them as her moans grew in sound. Even my mouth couldn't capture all of them. I removed my hands and fixed her suit as I moved her body to sit beside me once more. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to me.

"That was….." she started to say.

"I think amazing would be an appropriate word for this situation," I said as I bent down to kiss her hair again.

She wrapped her arms tightly around my waist once again and pulled me closer to her. We sat that way for a few minutes before Bella and I decided it was time to head back upstairs and to bed. We both were going to need a cool shower in order to help us sleep tonight. I helped her wrap her towel around her body, and she wrapped mine around my waist. We walked back to the elevators hand in hand and went back to our rooms. She kissed my nose quickly before slipping into her suite for the night.

I was in a daze as I walked into my suite. I quickly took a cold shower as my "little" problem was back whenever I thought about what had just happened in the hot tub. I don't think I would be able to sleep tonight without having a replay in my dreams.

A/N: So, what do you think? What it good for you?? (hehehe) Anyway, I hope this chapter will give you something to enjoy before I can update again. I'm going to try to update by Wednesday, but no promises. Please review and let me know what you think.

By the way, Bella's bikini is in my profile for those of you who have been wondering.
