Bella POV

"Hmm. What to wear?" I mumbled. Edward was, at the time, sitting in the rocking chair, watching as I searched for clothes. We were about to go meet with his family and I was to wear something "not too revealing". I finally settled on some washed-out skinny jeans, a black T-shirt with faded skull and cross bones on the front, a gray hoodie, and Converses. After putting the outfit on, I realized it was missing something. I went over to my bedside table and slid the drawer open. I pulled out one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.

I came across it at this neat store at the mall and couldn't resist. It was a braided leather cord necklace, with a tiny metal bead that hung on each braided loop and a little black pendant at the bottom with wire wrapped around it. (A/N: Link on profile!) Edward wore the same thing he wore yesterday, since Alice didn't drop him off a change of clothes. It wasn't gross, since he's a vampire; he doesn't sweat or give off odors like humans do. When I was finished, I turned to Edward, who had opened his arms to me. I smiled and walked over, nuzzling myself into his embrace. He wrapped his arms around my waist and put his lips to my ear.

"Do you have any idea just how edible you look today? Hmm?" He asked, seductively, nibbling on my ear lobe. A shiver ran up my spine. "I think your pussy has healed enough. You've been such a naughty girl, tempting me like this."

He moved one arm from my waist to rest his large hand on my thigh, sensually stroking back and forth. I felt him pull the hair from my neck and rest it on one shoulder. His teeth went from my earlobe to my jaw. He gently ran his canines across the skin there, creating trails of fire. He ran his teeth up all the way back to my ear.

"Do you know what happens to naughty little girls, Isabella?" He questioned, tracing the shape of my ear with his tongue.

All of his teeth were grazing and licking, which heightened my senses. Each new sensation went straight between my legs, wetting my panties. It was as though my lungs were getting heavier. My breathing turned to shallow pants.

"I asked you a question, little girl." He growled.

"I-I don't… I d-don't know." I stupidly responded through my heavy breathing. He pulled the hair that was resting on my right shoulder and resettled it on the opposing shoulder. He brought his nose to the other side of my throat, pulling the leather necklace down slightly. His nose skimmed along my artery, causing me to breathe even more rapidly, if that were even possible. His lips went to my ear.

"They get punished." He murmured, his tongue darting out to my right ear, careful not to neglect it. I was in desperate need of friction. I arched my back and rubbed my thighs together, only to have them forced apart.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, little girl; I am responsible for your pleasure, and I will decide when you get it." He scolded. Just as I felt the tip of his cool tongue press against my throat, we heard a ring. He sighed, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and pressed the talk button.

"What is it, Alice?" He growled into the phone.

"What do you mean what is it?" I heard from the other end. "You guys were supposed to be here an hour ago! You have Esme worried and the boys are eager to meet their new si-"

"We'll be there in 20 minutes, alright?" He cut his sister off. She started to talk again, but he hung up before she could finish. He tucked the phone back into his pocket and stood up, taking me with him. He set me on my feet and I turned to face him.

"We'll have to finish this later." He told me ruefully. I pouted slightly but nodded. He abruptly grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head to the wall I was suddenly up against. His 6'4" frame towered over my 5'5" one. He brought his full lips to mine in a kiss that made me weak to the knees. We both let our passionate energy flow through our synchronizing movements. He caught my lower lip between his teeth, causing it to linger with his a bit longer when we finally parted. His pitch black eyes met mine, sending me a silent message that he was dominant.

"I mean it." He told me firmly. I nodded. With one last stare, he took my hand in his and led me downstairs. I hadn't had breakfast, so I headed for the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going, little girl?" He asked, catching by my jacket hood.

"Hey!" I protested as I stumbled backwards into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me there.

"I would not fill up now," He said.

Of course, me being me, I automatically took that in a perverted way.

"Very mature," I sarcastically sighed. He busted out laughing.

"I was, uh, actually referring to the meal Esme prepared for you. I think I prefer your version, though." He told me, trying to hold in more laughter. If he wasn't holding my arms down, I would have slapped my forehead at my own stupidity.

"Coming on, or we will be late." I grumbled. After his laughter calmed down, he nodded and pushed me in front of him towards the door. Just as I stepped out of the doorway, I felt him slap my ass.

"Ooh!" I squealed, jumping slightly.

"You're lucky I don't spank that fine ass pink for being so tempting more often," He purred from behind me. His words, of course, went straight between my legs. I stopped midway, realizing we didn't have a car.

"We're going on foot." He informed me, finally face to face.

"Alright," I said. He spun his back around to me so I could get on. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck, lifting myself up. I locked my ankles around his stomach.

"Ready?" He asked.

"So ready," I answered, grinding my core into his back.

"Little girl…" He warned. "If you keep doing that, then we are going to be really late. Alice will unleash her wrath on us and, believe me, you don't want that."

"Fine," I sighed. He chuckled slightly and then we were off. The second time was just as exhilarating as the first. The sights were a bit different, though, since the first time was closer to night time. The colors were brighter and more prominently contrasted. I felt the same butterflies in my stomach and a touch of coolness to my veins due to the adrenaline. And, lastly, I felt the same twinge of disappointment when we came to a stop. Edward reached around and grabbed me from his back to hug me to his chest. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, crushing my lips to his. I unwrapped one arm from his neck and tangled it into his gorgeous shaggy locks. He shoved his tongue past my lips, beginning a war of dominance. Our tongues were slippery against each other as we wrestled back and forth.

After a while, he won the battle, exploring my mouth with his, sending chills up my spine. I ran my nails across the back of his neck, causing him to growl into my mouth. He finally pulled away, letting me up for air. I panted as he moved his lips to my neck, running his tongue along my artery. He finally pulled away and looked over to glare at the house. I wonder what they thought to piss him off. He huffed and set me on my feet, steadying me when I stumbled slightly. I glanced at his face to find a crooked grin that made me weak to my knees once again. He took me by the waist and led me to the front door of the immense house. Before Edward could reach for the door knob, it swung open, revealing Esme, who had a warm smile on her face. I smiled awkwardly.

"Come in, dears!" She invited eagerly. Edward put his arm possessively around my waist and pulled me inside with him. The house was just as beautiful as last time. It still shocked me.

"Oh, Bella, I've prepared breakfast for you!" Esme said.

"So I've been told." I mumbled. I felt Edward's chuckle.

"Would you like to meet your new family first or eat first?" Edward asked me.

"Umm…meet the family." I responded.

"Alright, let's go!" Esme rushed. We followed her into the family room, where the two boys from the parking lot, a blonde girl, a blonde guy, and Alice were sitting. Alice jumped out of her seat and moved over to meet us.

"Hey, Bella, hey, Edward!" She greeted. "Let me introduce you to the family! This is Carlisle, Esme's husband!" She gestured to the bleach-blonde male. "This is Jasper, my husband." She pointed to the honey-blond boy. "This is Rosalie." I looked to the gorgeous bombshell blonde. Seriously, the women in this family were ten times prettier than me. How was Edward satisfied? Maybe he wasn't…

"And I'm Emmett!" The big burly one, with defined dimples, jumped up and charged towards me. I flinched and, in a second, Emmett was gone. I gasped. Edward had him pinned to the ground, hands behind his back.

"Over my burnt ashes," Edward ferociously growled.

"Emmett, you idiot!" Alice shouted. "You know better!" Why wasn't anybody stopping him? I rushed over to Edward.

"Bella, no!" Alice screamed. It was too late. I was already over there.

"Edward, stop!" I demanded.

Mistake number one.

I grabbed his arm, trying to pry him off Emmett.

Mistake number two.

Edward's head whipped around with a glare so intense that I let go and cautiously put my hands up as if I was cornered by a cop, which has happened before.

"Room. NOW!" He commanded; anger clear in his voice. I scrambled to the staircase, but stopped to hear what he would say.

"NEVER touch my mate without my permission!" I heard him snarl to Emmett. Everything was quiet then, "I'm going to deal with Bella; we'll be down in a bit. We can resume then." He pinched the bridge of his nose and breathed deeply. His head abruptly snapped up.

"Isabella, I can hear your heartbeat. If you do not get up to our room, right now, it will be so much worse." He warned. Knowing it was best not to anger him further; I ran up the three flights of stairs to the top floor and sprinted to the door at the end of the hall. Once safely inside, I slammed the door shut.

I took a few deep breaths and only then did I remember Alice's warning; 'It's in male vampire's nature to get very protective, possessive, and domineering. Do NOT question Edward on that.' I banged the back of my head on the door I was leaning on. How could I be so stupid? I mean, I didn't think Emmett should have been tackled, but what would I do if I was a vampire and Rosalie dashed straight for Edward? The same damn thing; that's what! Then, a thought crossed my mind.

If Edward is like this with his own family, what will he be like at school?! School is full of hormonal teenage boys. He's a fucking mind reader!

"Shit balls." I hissed. Edward just might get suspended before I do! He would be breaking a record!

Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I jumped away from the door and frantically searched the room for somewhere to go. Where would he want me? I thought on my feet and quickly settled for the leather couch. I rushed across the room and just made it to the couch before the door swung open. In stepped the beautiful form of my mate. Quickly, I used a calming technique I used frequently. I took a deep breath and played a random song from the band OtherLives in my head. Their music always calmed my nerves. I looked up at him to find him pacing while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not going to punish you now, Isabella. My temper is too high at the moment and I mustn't punish you out of anger." His voice was strained. I could tell he was trying to keep calm, but I could hear the fire leaking from his voice.

I sighed in relief. I was glad he wasn't going to punish me with his family downstairs. That was a horrible impression. I don't normally care about impressions, but, when I did; I made a damn good one. This situation wasn't helping.

"Do not get too relieved, Isabella. You are still being punished, and, I assure you, it will not be pleasant." He said, sharply. "Do realize why you are in trouble?"

"I questioned your superior judgment about my safety." I sighed.

"Not only did you question my judgment, you physically tried to stop me! It doesn't matter how big or how small, you are never to question me or attempt to stop me when it comes to your safety and wellbeing. I am your mate, as well as your protector, and, if I think you need protecting, then I will damn well do it! It doesn't matter how ridiculous it may seem!" He was yelling by the end of the lecture. It actually kind of scared me. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger.

"I understand. I wasn't thinking and I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Well, contemplate your future actions next time. You will find that I am not a very patient man and, as much as I may love your spunk-"I couldn't help but giggle at the word. I swear I saw his mouth turn up the slightest bit."-you will submit to me." He finished.

"I will; I'm sorry." I apologized again. He was suddenly right beside. He took me into his arms and kissed me.

"I know. Now, let's go downstairs and properly meet the family. We will deal with your punishment afterwards." He said. I couldn't help it. I leaned in and crushed my lips with his.

"I really am sorry." I whispered.

"Stop apologizing. It's over. You'll be punished later, but, right now, let's just enjoy our time here." He soothed with on last kiss.

"Alright," I agreed. He smiled and led me downstairs to properly meet the family.
