A/N: I would like to thank the good folks at Dr. Pepper, for without which, I would never have finished this chapter. Big thanks to my loyal readers who waited patiently as I updated the hell out of 'American Girl'

Ivygirl702, I hope this new chapter helps feed your addiction to my stories.

I hope everyone reviews their little hearts out. This chappie is longer that I would usually write, and it's filled with lemony goodness. Enjoy the ride!

I don't own twilight, I do however have to suffer through dinner with the inlaws tomorrow night. Pray for me.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove along the highway into town. I was focused on the road and my thoughts of Edward at the exact same time. Our kiss was foremost in my mind as I pulled into the parking lot and I immediately knew I was about to spend more than was necessary on matching bra and panty sets. Before I stepped from the car, I ran my finger along my still swollen lips, recalling our kiss again. It completely clouded all my logical thoughts. When I walked into the brightly lit store, my hand instinctively reached down for a basket, but I thought better of it and grabbed a shopping cart instead.

As the lingerie section came into view, the first thing I saw was a big sleep shirt with Tweety Bird on it. Definitely not sexy, I thought to myself as I felt a bit discouraged. I rolled my eyes and pushed my cart further into one of the aisles and I yelped in excitement as I came across a plethora of lacy bras and panties. There were thongs, g-strings and ass hugging boy shorts, which were my personal favorite. I grabbed a few different styles in my size, with the matching bra. I even grabbed a really cute red and white satin set which I thought looked both sexy and festive. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything else that could pass for sexy lingerie. No garters, no baby dolls or anything of the sort.

I decided to go and check out their Christmas section again. Since it was getting closer to the big day, there was actually several sales going on and I decided to pick up a few more items, including stockings for me and Edward to hang from the fireplace. I just thought it would be a cute touch, and certainly would help it look a bit more like Christmas, not that the tree didn't make it a hundred times better, because it did, but it felt like something was missing. I also picked up a few other items, including some hot chocolate because I knew there was none in the cabin. I had looked the first night I arrived because I had been craving it something fierce.

As I waited in line for the cashier, I noticed she was around my age, so I asked her about lingerie stores in the area when I was checking out. I was pleased with what I had purchased, but it didn't feel like it was enough. She told me about a small store down the road about a mile called 'Ella's' which featured more high end lingerie, and I was ecstatic. I paid for my purchases happily and drove to Ella's with a big smile on my face. Once inside, I felt more in my element. I ended up getting another bra and panty set as well as two satin nighties. I had spent almost three hundred dollars between the two stores, but in my opinion, it was money well spent.

On my drive home, I stopped off at the grocery store to pick up a few more items for dinner tonight, including two bottles of white wine to go with the chicken I was planning to make. I was a little surprised when I pulled into the driveway to find Edward's car gone. He hadn't mentioned needing to step out, but he could have had a last minute change of plans, so I didn't worry about it. Instead I ran upstairs to my room and ripped all the tags off of everything and slipped into a new dark blue lace set I had purchased as Ella's. I tossed my casual clothes back over top and headed to the kitchen to start dinner. I was concentrating on my Creole Fried Chicken when I heard Edward walk in the door. I tried to sneak a peek around the island to see him, but he practically ran up the stairs to his room for a few minutes. When he came back down, he looked exhausted, but handsome as ever.

"I was about to send the Jackson Hole Police out looking for you," I said with a grin as he walked over to me, wrapped his arm around my waist and gently kissed my temple. It felt like we had been dating for years, not just starting out, and I kind of liked it. I wished it had been this easy with Jake. Well not really, because it if had been this easy I wouldn't be with Edward now, but I wished it had been easier.

"That looks good," he replied as he deflected my question completely. "So, what's on the menu Emeril?"

"Creole Fried Chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, braised carrots and white wine." I said casually as I reached into the fridge for some milk for my potatoes. I watched a little dumbfounded as he licked his lips as I explained to him what dinner consisted of. Oh, how I wanted those lips and that tongue all over me. I glanced over at the microwave, upon which I had set a timer on for the chicken, and noticed there was only five minutes left."Can you set the table and get out the wine? Dinner will be out of the oven in a few minutes." Edward simply nodded his head at me and set to work, like a good little helper.

I smiled contentedly as I watched him move around me. He set the table differently than usual. Instead of us being at opposite ends of the long table, we were directly beside each other. He set out the wine glasses and poured us each a glass. It wasn't any fancy wine, but what can you expect at Safeway in Jackson Hole, I thought to myself. Edward even lit a few candles on the table as I was serving everything onto our plates.

"If this tastes even half as good as it smells, it's going to be excellent," he said confidently as I slid the plate in front of him and took my seat. He leaned over and kissed my cheek sweetly. "Thanks Bella, this looks really good." I just nodded my head, still a little surprised by his romantic nature. How he was still single, I had no idea, but I wasn't going to complain. The ladies of Los Angeles were clearly missing out on a great guy.

Dinner conversation was easy going. We didn't discuss our jobs or our former love lives, instead opting to discuss any random little thought that popped into our heads. I wanted to ask him about where he had gone today, but I didn't want to make it seem like I was keeping tabs on him, so I decided not to worry about it. "This is excellent Bella, where did you learn to cook?"

"Food Network mainly. It was funny that you called me Emeril earlier, because this is actually one of his recipes." Edward and I both laughed easily and enjoyed the rest of our meal. "What do you want to do tonight?" I asked softly, as he picked up the plates from the table and brought them to the sink. He insisted on cleaning everything up, even though I had tried to clean most of the items as I went along.

"Honestly, I've been eyeing up the hot tub on the back deck, but if you don't want to, that's fine too. We can always scan through each other's iPods and make fun of the random crap or I think there's a bunch of board games in the back storage room. Esme was always a sucker for family night," said Edward as he rinsed off a few of the dishes and put them into the dishwasher.

"Wow, we can play Battleship, lovely," I replied sarcastically.

"I don't think we have Battleship actually. I know there's Risk, Lord of the Rings Monopoly and Cranium. Those were the main games we played when we were here. There might be more, I'm not sure."

"I actually like the hot tub idea," I replied, trying to sound casual, when all I really wanted was Edward without his shirt on.

"Okay. Well let me finish up here and I will go get it ready. Go get dressed and we'll meet back in like ten minutes or so," remarked Edward as a huge grin crossed his face. Apparently he wanted me in the hot tub too. I nodded my head and slowly walked up the stairs, watching him in the kitchen as I went.

When I got into the bedroom, I immediately started to clean it, not that it was messy, but I was hoping he would be sleeping in here tonight so I wanted to make a good impression. I rummaged through my luggage looking for my bathing suit and immediately panicked because I couldn't find it. Shit. I stepped into Alice's room to see if she had something suitable for me to wear, but the bikini I found in her drawer was way too small to cover anything, I might as well go naked. A light bulb went off in my head and I eagerly stripped off all my clothes and wrapped myself in a bathrobe. I was being more courageous and forward than usual, but I was stepping out of my element and I enjoyed it. I headed down the stairs, keeping the tie on the bathrobe tightly fastened.

"I have everything set outside, I even put out some candles, I hope you don't mind," asked Edward nervously. I simply nodded my head and waited by the back door. "Why don't you find something you want to listen to on the iPod. I hooked it up to the outside speakers, so we can listen in the hot tub. Feel free to get in anytime you want."

"Thanks, I'll meet you outside." I watched intently as Edward climbed the stairs, two steps at a time and headed excitedly into his room. I turned on the music to some soothing Mazzy Star and stepped out onto the back deck. It was fricking cold outside, and the steam was pouring off of the hot tub like dry ice from the stage of a rock concert in 1987. I was sort of relieved that Edward wouldn't see me completely naked yet, so I dropped the bathrobe and slipped tentatively into the water. It felt awesome in comparison to the cool night air. I turned the jets on, hoping the bubbles would mask my nudity for at least a few minutes, and just as I got comfortable, I saw Edward walking around in the kitchen.

He was wearing the cutest pair of blue and white plaid swim shorts that fell to his knees, but when my eyes rose to his chest, I was caught off guard. I hadn't realized he was so built. I mean, he looked good in everything he wore, but he looked better without it. Damn, how did I get so lucky? "How's the water?" he asked as he stepped outside with two towels and draped them on the small chair beside the hot tub.

"It's nice."

"Just nice? You want to be a writer and all you can say is 'it's nice'?" laughed Edward as I glared at him for a moment.

"Fine then, it's soothing, calming, exquisite, superb, wonderful, comforting, astonishing and magnificent. Is that more to your liking?" I asked sarcastically as he stepped into the tub and took a seat across from me. Thankfully he couldn't see I was naked because of the bubbles. He might not have got in the tub had he known. Then again, he might have gotten in a lot faster, I thought to myself as he smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah, that's better. This is nice, you were right. I don't just mean the water though. It's nice to just sit out here and relax. Stare out at the snow covered ground and the gigantic trees. I don't know why we didn't come up here more," said Edward with a sigh as he ran his finger along his temple for a moment, as though he was thinking about something.

"Everything alright?" I asked curiously as I sat nervously across from him. I was suddenly frozen to my seat, not quite sure what to do next.

"Yeah. It's good." Edward closed his eyes and leaned his head back, as though he was staring up into the night sky. I took it as a sign and lowered myself into the water, moving closer to him. His legs were spread apart and I moved so slowly he didn't hear me. I moved my hands slowly up his thighs, over his swim trunks. I wanted to lean up and kiss his lips, but chose instead to trail a few kisses across his chest. I felt his arms wrap around me and then listened as a small gasp left his mouth.

EPOV

She was not wearing a bathing suit. Well, she could be wearing bathing suit bottoms, but I wasn't bold enough to find out yet. She was topless and in between my legs. Holy Fuck. I honestly think getting in this hot tub was the best idea I have ever had. Screw all the multimillion dollar ad campaigns I had come up with, the hot tub with Bella was officially my best idea. I moved my fingers along her back, trying to be casual about the fact that her breasts were against my thighs, but it wasn't working. I was immediately hard at the realization and if she moved forward any more, she would definitely know.

I was a little taken aback by her boldness. I didn't really peg Bella for the sexually outgoing girl, but I wasn't complaining right now. I kept my eyes closed and my head back and waited for her to take the next step, which was her licking my neck, and shit, it felt fantastic. I moaned quietly as I felt her hands move against my chest, sliding up and down slowly. I wanted to reach down and grab her ass, bringing her to my lap to straddle me, but she was leading and I didn't want to ruin this. I wanted her to take whatever she wanted. "Edward…" she whispered quietly as I felt her lips on my ear, her bare breasts now against my chest. I shivered from the feel of her skin against mine and lifted my head, looking down at her.

"Yeah?" I replied, still trying to sound casual even though I thought I was going to have a coronary. She looked perfect, and ten million times better than I could have imagined. Her breasts were by no means big, which is what every girl in L.A. had, but hers looked just right. They were creamy, supple and I just wanted to lick all around her and suck on her nipple.

Bella didn't respond to my question, instead opting to grab my hands and bring them up to her breasts so I could hold them, feel them, massage them. I don't think she cared what I did as long as my hands were all over her. I immediately started to grip them lightly with my fingers, paying particular attention to her pert little nipples. I watched as she arched her back slightly from my touch and let out her own low moan. I was rock hard when she moaned; I thought I might cum before she even touched me. This was not what I had planned for the evening, but god bless her for doing this.

I reached down to grab her ass and pull her onto my lap. I wanted to suck her nipples into my mouth, but groaned the moment my hand touched her. She was completely fucking naked, and suddenly my inner monologue was shot to hell.

"You're fucking naked," I practically yelled in excitement.

"I forgot my bathing suit," she said shyly as she pulled herself onto my lap, her legs straddling mine. I looked up to the sky and held my hands together as though I was praying and Bella simply laughed at me.

"Sorry if I seemed a little shocked," I said as I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me.

"It's all good. I like to shock you." My mind was suddenly filled with all sorts of ways Bella could surprise me and a big grin crossed my face. "Like right now for instance, I could step out of the tub and leave you here, wanting more. That would probably shock you." I nodded my head and leaned down to kiss her neck.

"Do you like to be surprised Bella?" I asked as my hand gripped her ass tightly and I pushed her against my erection. She let out a little gasp and I smiled.

"Yes," she replied breathlessly.

"What else do you like Bella?" I asked seductively. I liked this game, and I was reveling in saying her name. I loved it.

"I like this," she replied with a sly smirk as she reached her hand between us and grasped my cock in her hand. All of a sudden, I wanted to ravish her body, but there was no way I was fucking this goddess in a hot tub. I couldn't handle it anymore, and I hopped out and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around myself. "Where are you going?" she asked in disappointment.

"We are going inside," I said confidently as I took her hand in mine and helped her out. The moment her foot reached the edge of the tub, I think my heart stopped beating. I handed her the robe she had brought out and wrapped it around her tightly before leading her into the living room. "Stay put," I said as she sat down on the edge of the couch and looked around nervously. I quickly threw another log on the fire and grabbed the blanket from the back of the couch, laying it down between the fireplace and the coffee table, on the floor.

I didn't even have to ask her to join me; she came and sat down on the blanket before I did. God I wished we had a bear skin rug right now, I thought to myself as I yanked my damp shorts off and put them along the hearth of the fireplace. I kept the towel wrapped around my waist, not quite sure if we were ready to completely go to the next stage, but there was no way I laying down beside her in soaking wet swim trunks.

"I missed you today," I admitted pathetically. I had actually spent most of my day in a small jewelry store off of the main street called 'Houston's.' Almost all of their things were ridiculously overpriced or completely ostentatious, neither of which I thought Bella would appreciate. I didn't want to end up buying her something cheesy from Target so I ended up settling on a rather dainty watch. It was stainless steel, but the band was fairly thin and the face had tiny diamonds on it. I thought I was playing it safe with a watch over some diamonds earrings or something. After all, I had only met this girl a few days ago.

"You did huh?" she replied as she laid on her side and propped her head up on her hand, her arm bent at the elbow. I simply nodded and took a few moments to appreciate her beauty as the bathrobe slipped from her shoulder and revealed the swell of her tempting breast. "What did you miss?"

"Everything. Being near you, smelling you, touching you," I replied honestly as I reached over and slid my hand from her neck to the small indent between her breasts. I heard her breath hitch slowly and moved closer to her. "I want you so fucking badly Bella." My eyes were instantly glued to hers, waiting for a response. She said nothing, but expressed her intent completely as she pulled the robe off and lay before me completely naked.

"You want me?" she asked seductively as I stared at her. She was stunning. In fact, stunning probably wasn't even the proper word to describe her beauty. I bent my head towards her and kissed her as fiercely as I could; I moved my hand behind her neck and pushed her towards me. As I ran my tongue slowly along her bottom lip, she opened her mouth tentatively and her tongue then outstretched to meet mine. I groaned as I felt Bella's hands move along my sides, down to my thighs and back up my chest. I slowed our kisses considerably, knowing that I wanted to take my time with her and worship her the way she deserved.

I pulled away and let my tongue lead the way from her lips to her neck, as it finally headed towards her luscious breasts. I cupped them in my hands and quickly bent forward, sucking one hard nipple into my mouth as Bella gasped from my touch. I loved listening to her as I pleased her. "Fuck," she moaned out as I bit her gently and her fingers suddenly raked against my back. I sat back on my knees for a moment, my lower half still covered in the towel and I stared down at her. I knew what I wanted, but I wanted to hear Bella tell me what she wanted.

"Bella?" I whispered quietly as she nodded her head in response. "Tell me what you want baby." I repositioned myself so that I was between her spread legs and I lost all coherent though as I looked down at her gorgeous body, mere inches away from me. Before she could even respond, I felt myself drawn her to like a moth to a flame and was suddenly licking her slit and spreading her folds open to me as I slipped a finger inside her. I licked and sucked every square inch of her clit, biting down on it to elicit louder moans from her.

"I want this," she shouted out as my tongue darted inside of her; she tasted heavenly. "I want to cum for you Edward." The more she spoke to me, the more I wanted to please her for the rest of our lives. I used my forearms to hold her thighs open to me and began to rub her clit in small circles as I slipped my tongue in and out of her wetness. I felt her quiver beneath me and was a smug son of bitch when she finally came, with me lapping up every drop of her enthusiastically.

I felt Bella's hands reach into my hair and she pulled me up to kiss her, not even caring that I just had my tongue inside of her. She could clearly taste herself on me and the fact that she didn't pull away, made her even sexier in my opinion. I felt her tug the towel away from my body, leaving me in position between her legs to simply move two inches and I would be buried inside of me. As I longed for her, I realized we were in the middle of the living room, with no condoms. I let out a long breathe and Bella looked at me in confusion before she smiled and slid her body closer to mine.

"Don't worry… I'm good," she said with a grin as I stared back at her with pure desire. I had never been with a girl bareback, but I couldn't wait to do it with Bella. I trusted her. I nodded my head in acknowledgment and gripped her hips with my hands, as I pulled her back towards me and slipped my length deep inside of her.

"Holy shit," she screamed out as I suddenly tensed, worried that I had hurt her. I stopped moving and tried to pull out of her as Bella wrapped her legs around my waist, refusing to let go.

"Am I hurting you?" I asked with concern as her eyes rolled back and she started to move her body against mine.

"Fuck no. You feel perfect, it's just..." she started to say as I felt slightly relieved and began to pump myself inside of her tight hear.

"It's just what?" I asked curiously as she gripped the blanket beneath us tightly.

"Ugh, it's never felt this good. It's never felt so right," she replied breathlessly as I smiled ecstatically at her. I was so glad it wasn't just me that felt like that. To quote the Lemonheads, she is the puzzle piece behind my couch that makes my sky complete. Everything was right and I didn't want to let her go. "Fuck me," she yelled again as my finger found her clit and began rubbing furiously as I pounded my hard cock deep inside of her.

We ended up coming within seconds of each other and collapsing into a heap on the floor. I reached over and quickly threw another log on the fire as I swept Bella up into my arms and wrapped the blanket around us. I buried my head in her neck and kissed her sweetly as my fingers gently ran the length of her back. She shivered beneath me and I immediately began to worry about her.

"Are you cold?" I asked in concern as she turned her body around to face me.

"No. It's just pure bliss laying here in your arms," she replied genuinely as I kissed her lips, sucking her bottom lip into my mouth. "I'm just shivering when you touch me. I love it."

"Can you believe that a few days we couldn't stand to be in the same room as each other, and now I am completely mesmerized by every single move you make and word you say?"

"Will you do me a big favor?" she asked with a nervous smile as I kissed her gently again and looked at her curiously. "Can we have hot chocolate?"

"You can have whatever the hell your heart desires Bella," I replied as I grabbed her bathrobe and handed it to her, but she tossed it aside, choosing instead to walk into the kitchen naked.

"What if it wants you?" she replied casually as she reached into the cupboard for some cups.

"I'm already yours Bella."

A/N: The Lemonheads song referenced is called "Alison's Starting to Happen' and I used to be addicted to it in the mid 90's. I hope this lemon makes up for the lack of updates as of late. I'm hoping they will become more frequent.
