Dude... I think I forgot how to update.

No I think we just write for our benefit instead of everyone elses. I mean we've got at LEAST 10 chapters worth of this awesomeness written out.

KELLA! Don't say that! Cause then when it takes like, three weeks for us to update... we'll have like... a mutiny

Well... 10 chapters of unrevised work. How's that?

Better. But I bet our rough shit is better than anything SMeyer (the lady who owns this shit) has ever written.

Well depends what you consider "better". Smuttier? Def.

:D

I sat on the couch that separated the living room area from the bedroom area, my laptop heating up my lap. It had been over 2 hours and we just kept going around in circles. "I just think that for them to put in a bid after the deadline, shows a great amount of disrespect even if technically it was done in the 11th hour." I replied, toying with my cellphone in my hand as I listened on speakerphone to the others' comments. I heard murmuring in the background but no concrete feedback. "Come on guys! Why are we busting our backs on a Saturday over a company that wasn't even in our final top 10? So what if they came back with a strong offer, Chanel will be known through whichever company we decide to market with." I heard the front door open and waved with my free hand as Edward strolled through. "Do you really feel that JcPenny's is where you want to go when compared to Macy's or H&M even if the initial return on investment is higher? What about reputation? Brand? Do you really see JcPenny's as being on par with the level of quality and pridesmanship that the other two companies display?" There were more mumblings and after a few more minutes of back and forth I found myself having to set the pace for the decision. "Okay guys, we've been at this over 2 hours. Obviously if their offer was that great it wouldn't take this long to make a decision. I say we stick to the two companies we decided last night and if necessary revisit the JcPenny idea Monday afternoon after we've all met and shared data on H&M and Macy's okay?" I heard more grumbling and I look towards Edward who was leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed smiling at me. I rolled my eyes and imitated giving a hand job to show my annoyance at the lag. He chuckled quietly and nodded, not moving from his spot. "GUYS!" I scolded after a few minutes of back and forth with no one really saying anything worthwhile. "This is what we're doing. We have until..." I started looking down at my laptop where the file was, "until end of business Monday to give them a response on their offer. Let's see what we can compile on all threecompanies - Daniel that would appease you right? And once we do we can compare apples to apples and see what direction we want to go in." The team finally managed to come to an agreement and we confirmed that we would meet at 11am on Monday to analyze the data. I snapped my phone shut and sighed, looking over at Edward.

He pushed off the wall making his way over to where I was sitting on the sofa. "Everything okay, love?"

I nodded, closing my computer and putting it down on the coffee table. "Mhm, how was the outside world? You get everything done that you needed to?"

He grinned smugly. "Uh huh."

"Are you going to give me any hints?"

"Uh, no."He stated decidedly, shoving his hands into his pockets and giving me a big campy smile.

I stood up and brushed my lips against his. "Not even if I ask nicely?"

He pursed his lips, looking up at the ceiling as if contemplating my plea. "Mmmmmm nope."

"Okay, thought I'd give it a shot." I said, shrugging and wrapping my arms around his neck. "So how much time do we have between now and these mystery plans of yours?"

"hour and a half. That okay?"

"Yeah, did you want to veg here until we have to get ready then? Or did you wanna go back out?"

"Whatever. Don't girls need a shit ton of time to get ready?" He teased, wrapping his arms around me tightly.

I laughed against him and kissed his clavicle. "Yeah that's right. I'm such high maintenance an hour and a half may not be enough time.."

"Well..."

"Maybe you should join me in the shower then... you know, to be my time keeper." I replied, pulling away from his body and walking backwards towards the bathroom.

"Okay."

I laughed. "It wasn't a peer pressure threat Edward. You don't have to; I'm fully capable of bathing on my own. The invite was solely for your benefit."

He nodded, smiling widely. "I know."

My arm extended, reaching out for his hand and he grasped it, following me in to the bathroom. My lips were on his the instant that we were both inside the tiled room, kissing him passionately. His hands worked frantically to undo my pants as his urgency matched my own. We made quick work of removing most of our clothes and while I unfastened my bra and pushed my underwear down my hips Edward turned on the shower.

His arms wrapped around my waist as his lips crashed against mine. "Bella, I need you." He panted, his breath fanning over my lips as he rested his forehead against mine and nuzzled my nose gently.

I hummed, wrapping my arms around him and placing soft kisses down his neck. "You have me, always."

He lifted me up, stepping us into the shower and closing the glass door shut behind him, as I let the hot water cascade down from my head. His body moved to press against mine and his mouth dipped to the base of my neck sucking softly. My hands tangled in his hair and I tilted my head back moaning softly as I felt his tongue move against my skin as he planted open mouthed kisses along my collar bone. "Fuck, Edward... I need you... please..."

EPOV

I was about ready to give her whatever the fuck she wanted. I felt her hands start to pull and twist my hair, and I pulled away a little bit to look at her. She leaned in and kissed the corner of my mouth before moving down my jaw and neck. Then she started to kneel. I tried to pull her up, but she wasn't having it. She wrapped one hand around my solid cock, and looked up at me with big doe eyes, water dripping off of her. "Baby, you do so much for me, and I just want to give you this one thing. Please, baby... let me suck you off."

Now, what the fuck am I supposed to say to that? Hm? Any suggestions? Yeah, didn't think so.

I groaned, and my eyes snapped shut as I put on hand on the wall to brace myself. I felt her hands run up and down my legs, and she said something... I wasn't sure what it was, but still; I'd heard Bella's voice. But before I had a chance to ask her what it was, she leaned in and took my cock in her mouth. I groaned as my hand shot into her hair and tangled in it. She went down slowly at first, and at the base she twisted her head slightly before coming back up, moaning as she did. That shit was fucking hot. "Fuck... Bella... your mouth... I fucking.... shit..." She went down slowly one more time, but I needed more.

"Bella, please..." I felt her smile around my cock and moan, picking up her pace as she bobbed up and down my shaft. She was moving faster and faster, using her tongue to trace the veins along the underside of my shaft. That was fucking heaven on a stick, my friend. Then she reached up and swiped at my balls once,twice before finally cupping them and rolling them in her hands. My hips started bucking into her mouth, and pulling on her hair. "FUCK, BELLA!"

It was just too much. It was all too much: Her mouth, her hand... just fucking her. "Baby.. shit... I'm gonna... FUCK!"

I slammed my hand down on the wall as she wrapped her arms around my ass and held me tight her her mouth as I shot my cum down her throat. I started panting, and watched her as she twisted her head slowly at the base before dragging up my softening cock, and releasing me with a small pop. She leaned back in and kissed the tip before resting back on her heels and smiling up at me. I crouched down in front of her, putting my arms on her shoulders. "You don't have to do that, you know."

She nodded, looking at me like I had 5738205 heads. "I know. But I like to; I like making you happy."

I smiled and pulled her into me, resting my cheek on her temple. "You make me happy; just you. I don't need the other shit... just you."
She hummed contentedly into my skin and placed a few lazy kisses there. "Me too. Only you Edward, only ever you."

I nodded and kissed her slowly, trying to prove to her that I meant it; that I would want her, even if she didn't have such a skilled mouth. She pulled away, in sort of a cute little haze and slowly opened her eyes. "We... we should get moving."

I kissed her one more time before helping her to her feet. We both showered, then she sequestered herself in the bathroom getting ready. I was nervous about tonight, if only because I wanted everything to be perfect for Bella. She deserved it. After everything I'd put her through... fuck, she deserved a medal. I decided to call Tanya and check in while I was waiting, but she didn't pick up.

"Uh, hey Baby, it's me. I was just calling to say hi and see what you're up to. Listen, there's something I want to talk to you about when I get back. It's nothing bad, it's just important. I'll talk to you later, babe."

I hung up, and leaned against the window frame, looking out at the city when I felt Bella's arms wrap around my waist. "Everything okay?"

I nodded and turned in her arms, "Fine." I leaned in and kissed her nose, pushing the hair off of her face. "You look pretty."

She laughed a little, and pulled away, twirling a little in her purple dress. "You think?"

"You're always pretty, so yeah."

She laughed a little, and pulled on my hand. "Well, you're kinda pretty, too. Now, let's go. I wanna know what my surprise is!"

I laughed and shook my head a little, following her downstairs and into a cab where I gave the cabby the address. She was putting her cell phone in her bag when I saw something... different in there. I pulled one out and cocked an eyebrow. "Condoms?"

She shrugged, "I plan on jumping you whenever and where ever I want. Girl's gotta be prepared." She snatched it back from me, and replaced it, then looked up at me with an exaggerated sigh. "Would you deny me Edward?"

She was just so damn cute sometimes. I laughed and pulled her into me, kissing her lightly. "No. Not ever."

We pulled up and I paid, which gave Bella time to stand on the sidewalk and look up at the sky scraper. "What is this?"

I shrugged and gave her my arm. "You'll see."

BPOV

I wrapped my hand in his and we swung our arms lightly as we walked inside and rode the elevator with two other couples. If I thought I'd been impressed by the exterior, the interior threw me for a complete loop as the doors opened onto the main dining area. The room was surrounded by floor to ceiling windows that looked out over Times Square and there was low lighting mixed with dark red, yellows and blues. "Edward... how did you... when... how..." I was in such a state of surprise I evidently didn't know how to form a complete thought.

His lips pressed against the back of my hand and he shot me a shy smile. "Do you like it?"

My eyes couldn't tear from the decor as I breathed, "Edward, I love it... but it's..." my eyes peeled away from the seating area and looked up at him, "it's too much. I don't... you didn't have to do all this."

He shrugged aloofly. "I know I didn't have to; but I wanted to. It's our first date, Bella."

I leaned up and brushed my lips against his softly, trying to hide the blush that had covered my cheeks. How could Tanya be so distant and not want to be around him? When he had been in the conference room with my team and I the other night, my mind had drifted back to the night we first met when he said Tanya didn't even let him up to her office. Why? He was obviously the most amazing, talented man out there; it blew my mind that either she was oblivious to it or took it for granted that he would always be there. "Love, I'm going to go see if our table's ready, I'll be right back." He whispered into my ear, placing a soft kiss just below my earlobe. I felt the familiar heat spread from where his lips has just been down my neck and through my chest. I nodded slowly and he squeezed my hand before dropping it and walking over to the podium where the hostess was standing.

Not even a minute later, Edward was strolling back offering me his hand. "Are you ready Bella? Our table's ready." He crooned. Or maybe he just said it, but all I heard was crooning... because god, everything he was saying made me swoon. It was almost laughable how big of a pile of putty I'd turned into since he'd been back. Everything he said, every touch he left burning on my skin, was magnified tenfold. I smiled and took his hand and as waiter approached us and guided us towards a table along the back corner against one of the windows, where we could see the blazing lights of New York City flashing in the fading sun. The waiter moved to pull out my chair but Edward held his hand up, interrupting his gesture.

"I can do that, but thank you." He said, his jaw clenching and unclenching quickly. The waiter smirked and nodded. "Very well, I'll be back in a few moments to take your drink orders. My name is Nevin if you need anything." Edward nodded a thank you and slid out my chair. I smiled up towards him as I took my seat. "You know, I'm pretty sure he was very capable of doing that himself." I chided playfully as he scooted me closer to the table. "Yes," he replied his voice dropping low, "but then I couldn't do this," he said pausing to kiss the spot where my neck and shoulder met, "and taste you once more before we ate." I sighed at his touch and bit my lip, unable to hold my smile back. He moved to the other side of the table and took his seat, grabbing the menu and smirking.

"What?" I asked once I had snapped out of my momentary daze as the lingering feel of Edward's lips slowly faded from my skin.

"You heard me."

"I didn't hear anything after you kissed me, sorry... temporary hearing loss due to euphoria."

He looked up at me, his eyes focused and his jaw locked, gazing at me seriously. "I'll have you before we leave this restaurant."

My breath quickened at his words and I wanted to ask if it'd be impolite for him to take me right here against this table before our drinks arrived. "Edward... jesus..." My chest was heaving up and down visibly as my breath grew even shorter as mental images came into my mind of how and where... and fuck. "Can we go--" I began whispering unaware that the waiter was standing beside our table, until I heard him clear his throat.

"Have we decided on drinks to start?" He asked, his PDA style "pad" and stylus pen in hand. I swallowed hard, and looked over at Edward.

"What's the wine selections for this evening?"

"Our white wines tonight include a fantastic 2006 Italian Pinot Grigio, we also have a 2005 extra dry Reisling from the Napa Valley. Our reds this evening are a perfect Chianti from Tuscany and a full bodied Merlot from Monterrey, California."

"Bella?"

I looked over at his seemingly perplexed face and looked up at the waiter, smiling confidently. "The Riesling please - if that's alright with you Edward?" I asked turning my attention towards him.

"Whatever you want, love."

"Then the Riesling please." I confirmed looking towards the waiter. "Very good selection Miss." He retorted punching a few things onto his hand held device and taking our wine menus away. I relaxed into my seat, leaning forward towards him. My hand reached for his that was on the table and flipped it over, tracing a finger tip from the base of his palm up each finger, my eyes locked on our hands. "Baseball or football?"

"Baseball, but only because my father was a football fan. Blue or Pink?"

"Blue. New York or Seattle?"

He reached for my hand, smiling shyly. "Guess."

"I'm hoping you'll say New York, but I'm thinking you'll say Seattle."

He laughed a little, his eyes moving towards where our hands laid on the table. "It's wherever you are."

I sighed, hoping that was true. "Do you mean that?"

His eyes darted from our hands up to my eyes, his voice calm as he spoke. "Of course."

"If Chanel offers me a job and I stay..." I took a deep breath and focused my eyes on our hands before pushing out the hard part, "would you stay here with me?"

He exhaled a heavy breath before letting out, "Yes."

My eyes shot up to look at him. What? Did I hear correctly, or just what I wanted to hear? "Wh-what? You would?"

He nodded. "Yes. If you wanted me to, I'd be here with you in a heartbeat."

I smiled brightly and laughed a little to myself unable to contain my giddiness as the waiter served our appetizer of chilled shrimp. Nevin-the-waiter plated us and brought over two glasses of water followed by our bottle of wine. "Everything alright here?"

"Yes, thank you." Edward said, not taking his eyes off me and smiling lazily. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nevin turn and walk towards a table a few seats over. I raised my wine glass, grinning. "A toast, to Gargamyle the overlooked good guy."

He lifted his glass laughing a little. "To Gargamyle." Our glasses clinked and we sipped our wine, our eyes not tearing from one anothers.

My mind raced with background thoughts of work in Seattle, my family, Chanel and actually hoping that they offered me the job so I'd have a reason to ask Edward to stay with me and only me. Because I wasn't sure I had the audacity to ask him under any other circumstances.

EPOV

She was looking at me, but she wasn't. Her mind was twisting and turning with something that I just couldn't put my finger on. "Love? You okay?"

She nodded, and reached for my hand, twisting her fingers with mine. "I'm perfect. If I haven't said it already, thank you for tonight."

I shook my head, and watched her carefully. "It's not a problem. I'm glad you like it." And I was. This is what she deserved; someone who could take her out and hold her hand without looking out of the corner of his eye for his fucking fiancée. I sighed and squeezed her hand a little as she smiled at me.

"What else should we do while I'm here?"

"I don't know. Um... are there any galleries you wanted to go to?"

I traced lines on the palm of her hands with my fingers, taking in the faint trail of red they were leaving behind. "I've seen most of them. My grandparents used to live out here. This is your trip, love. I'm just tagging along."

"It's just my work trip. I wasn't anticipating a pleasure side of it, so let that part be ours."

I rolled my eyes at her people pleasing ways. There wasn't anything that I could make her do or see, and I didn't even want to begin to try. "Love, there must be something you've always wanted to do..."

"The library. I've always wanted to see the New York Public Library."

I laughed. Bella would. "Okay. If that's what you want. But maybe we could... stay in a bit?"

"What for?" She asked, a sly smile spreading across her delicate features.

I smirked, "Guess."

She shook her head like a two year old. "Nope. Not this time. I want to hear you tell me; I'd hate to make assumptions..."

I lifted her hand up and pulled it toward me, and sure enough she followed. I could feel her breath coming out in hot pants over my face, her eyes dark and hooded. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. "Baby, I wanna fuck you dry. I bought a whole box of condoms today... don't make me waste them."

She lowered her face to mine, panting against me. "You know how wet you get me. It may take more than one box to fuck me dry."

I laughed again, then turned my head to kiss her cheek. "I was hoping you'd say that. We have one box for tonight, then we can grab another on our way back from the library."

She sat back, looking at me carefully. "I have 4 in my purse. What are the chances we can use them up before we make it back to the hotel tonight?"

I smirked and sat back, "One for the bathroom, one for the elevator, one for the taxi and... ladies' choice?"

"Hmm..." She said, pursing her lips and looking around. "There." She pointed to narrow hallway with a gold-clawed antique looking table just around the corner from the elevators towards the coat room. "I want you to bend me over that and fuck the hell out of me."

I followed her gaze, then nodded decisively. "I could do that."

She smiled wickedly at me and wiggled a bit as whatshisface the waiter came to clear the plates. After he'd gone, she stood up and discreetly dropped her underwear in my lap. "Bathroom in 5 seconds, bring the rubber." She added casually, walking over to the bathroom.

I shook my head, smiling down at the bunched up cotton in my hand. My girl... my girl was something else.

BPOV

I was blocking the entrance to the ladies room like a security guard, keeping track of who entered and left. This was going to be tricky since there was no lock on the main door... we'd have to use a stall. I saw Edward trying to look completely unassuming as he walked towards me, his hands in his pockets. At last count the bathroom was empty - perfect timing. I smirked as he approached me. "Fancy meet--" I interrupted his undoubtedly cheesy but nevertheless cute line, by crushing my lips against his and pushing back on the door, dragging him inside by his shirt. His tongue traced my lips and I parted them, sucking his tongue into my mouth. He groaned as we continued the shuffle across the tiles towards the end of the room where the handicapped stall was. I felt his hands slide down my sides and around to my ass, lifting me up. My legs wrapped around his waist as we walked semi blindly into the stall and shut the door. I still couldn't fathom that my body could react like this to someone else's. It was as if my heart only beat for him and my pussy only wanted him inside. Everyone else could go fuck themselves - literally.

He shoved me hard against the stall door and I fumbled with the lock until I heard it click in place. My lips tore from his as I leaned my head back and felt his lips attack the column of my throat. "Fuck Edward..." I panted as my hands knotted in his hair. I ground my hips against his obvious erection and he grumbled into my neck, the vibrations making me purr. I untangled my legs from around him, pulling him by his belt towards me as I made quick work of dropping his slacks and boxers. His hands slid up to my waist as he tugged down my dress freeing my breasts from where they had been hiding under my strapless dress. His hot mouth began sucking on one breasts while his free hand kneaded the other. "Edward... god... ungh..." I moaned as one hand weaved through his pubic hair and gripped the base of his cock tightly. His lips moved up the path between my breasts slowly. "Bella.. shit.." he murmured thrusting his hips into my hand. His fingers ran lightly up my thigh moving inside and ghosting over my pussy. He growled into my neck, sucking on it roughly. "God baby, you're so wet and I haven't even dipped inside."

"Fuck me Edward. I need you, we don't have time... I just need you to cum for me." I begged pumping his cock with my hand. I bent down, rifling through his pant pockets for the condom. I tore the package open and looked up at him. He was staring down at me breathing heavily. I smiled sweetly up at him and he ran a hand through my hair massaging the back of my neck. I dragged my tongue up his shaft, licking the precum from his lip. His hand fisted in my hair pulling tightly. "Shit Bella..." he panted. My lips pressed a kiss onto his tip before I rolled the condom onto him. I stood up slowly not having a chance to say anything before his lips attacked mine roughly. Fuck that was the best. I loved when he was unable to control his steady pace and just let go with me. His hands moved down my ass, sliding under my dress to palm my ass cheeks and lift me up against the door. I felt his tip swipe against my clit and I shuddered. "Fuckk..." I breathed against his lips. He positioned himself at my entrance whispering, "are you ready baby?" I nodded and felt him thrust into me. "UNGH FUCK EDWARD!" I screamed as he impaled me with his huge cock. He began slamming into me hard and fast, grunting into my damp skin on my shoulder. "Fuck babby... god you're so tight... ungh... shit..." he mumbled into my shoulder fucking me wildly. I pushed against him as much as I could considering my angle. I felt myself getting close and could tell he felt it too. "God Edward, I'm going to..."

"That's it baby cum all over my cock" He growled into my ear. "Milk it baby, milk my cock. That's what you want isn't it?" He huffed. "God yes!" I screamed completely losing myself in the moment. I faintly heard a door open and close but I couldn't be bothered to care... Edward inside me felt too good. One of my arms that had been wrapped around his neck for support, trailed down under my dress as I rubbed my clit frantically. "Fuck Bella... God, I can feel you're close baby. Your pussy's sopping wet for me, come on... just a little more.. give me what I need. Let my dick be surrounded with your hot cum."

I threw my head back screaming, "FUCK OH GOD.. OH FUCK EDWARD! SHIIIIT I'M CUUUUUMMMING OH GOD!!!" I felt my pussy tighten around his dick. He grunted as he pressed his forehead into my chest, "SHIT BELLA! GOD YOUR PUSSY'S SO FUCKING TIGHT WHEN YOU CUMMM SHIIIIIIIIIIT..." he groaned as I felt him thrust once, then again shoving himself as far into me as he could and stilling as he came into the condom. We both stood there, leaning against one another gasping for air as our orgasms settled. He kissed my lips a few times affectionately before moving to my forehead. "You're amazing baby, thank you." I laughed a little; "thank me? Edward you made me cum, thank you." He chuckled against me before I slid my legs down trying to stand up properly as he kissed the tops of my breasts and slid my top back over them. After taking a few more breaths, Edward moved a few strands of hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead, tossing the used condom in the sanitary-napkin dispenser. I helped him slide his boxers and pants back up and we unlocked the stall door only to find an older woman in her mid-late 50s washing her hands at the sink and smirking at us from her reflection in the mirror.

"Oh, to be young and in love." She said to us, chuckling. I turned to look up at Edward, smiling. He seemed completely relaxed and his hand grabbed my hand rubbing circles on the back of it with his thumb as he looked at the woman. "Sorry for the disruption ma'am." He replied as he pulled us towards the door. She waved her hand dismissively, shaking her head murmuring something I couldn't quite catch as he moved us through the door.

EPOV

"So that was close, huh?" I asked, leading Bella over to out table to start eating.

She laughed little, settling in her chair. "I don't think it was close. I think we got caught and just got caught by the rightperson."

I laughed, looking up at her. "What do you mean?"

She looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Edward, she heard us." She laughed lightly and cut her chicken.

"Well, techincally love, she didn't catch us. We could have been.... uh... exercising." Yeah, lame I know. But it was plausable... yeah, still no.

"Right Edward... if that makes you feel better, I'm sure she just thought the door was stuck and you were being nice enough to help me get it open." (smirks)

I laughed, looking back down at my food. "Well, fine. Party pooper." I fought the urge to stick my tongue out at her by changing the subject. "Love, how long are you here for?"

"I'm not sure. They want me definitely through the end of next week. After that if it's up to me if I want to stay until the project is completed and has launched, or if I want to go back home and come back if it's necessary before it's rolled out. Why?"

Because I can't fucking breathe without you. "Just wondering."

She picked at her food, staring down at her plate. "How... how long were you thinking of staying?"

I averted her gaze, pushing food around on my plate. "How long did you need me?"

"Considering the circumstances, is it inappropriate if I say forever?" Her lower lip was sucked into her mouth as she snuck glance up at me, then quickly looked away.

"No... no. That's never inappropriate."

She laughed dryly. "Well then... yeah. Forever." She said with a sigh, taking a bite from her plate.

I looked up at her, dropping my fork. "Do you want to do it?"

Her head shot up as my fork dropped and she looked at me, confused. "Do what?"

"Stay here."

Her lip was back in her mouth as she thought, "Yes." Bella thought for a moment. "But what about your job Edward? You said in the meeting the other night that you mostly worked with local businesses in the Seattle/Vancouver area. I don't want you to have to sacrifice what you love doing there, just to be here and do this."

I looked down at my plate, thinking. She was right, of course but... but... "Bella, I'm a photographer. I'll get new clients here, and it'll be fine. I can work where ever I want to, love."

"Really, Edward?" She asked, her entire face lighting up. "I must have totally wowed you for you to be moving cross country with me not even halfway through our first date."

I laughed and shook my head, "You dazzle me, Bella. Every fucking day."

She blushed and looked down, shuffling the items on her plate around, as she murmured. "I make a joke, and you make me swoon."

"That's my job." I said, smirking.

"Oh, so it's your profession? Don Juan then? Do you have many clients?" She said, smirking and tilting her head to the side.

"Just one. She keeps me... occupied."

"Occupied? That's all? She sounds like a bore."

I laughed, raising an eyebrow. "I don't have time to be bored when I'm with her. She's always up to something."

She grinned at me, then turned to the waiter, who was lurking in the not so distance.

"Can I help you?" I asked the guy, who was smiling down between Bella and I.

"That's my job!" He laughed, putting one hand on the table and turning toward Bella, "Seriously, is there anything else that you need? Like... anything?"

"And you're done." I interrupted. Bella and the waiter's eyes snapped to me, and I was shooting daggers. "Thank you. We'll take the check."

He looked between Bella and I, trying to get an in. "But I--"

I held up a hand. "No, no. We're done. Check, please."

He shook his head, but walked away as I smirked after him.

"Edward?" She admonished with a smirk, "You barely touched your food, and we still have dessert to get through, according to the prearranged menu."

"Uh, unless you're opposed, I thought I was having dessert at that table over there."

"You sure you'll be ready to go that soon? I remember being promised the table andelevator."

"There's time. Besides, we can stay here as long as we want. There's no limit."

Bella laughed a little. "You don't think we should leave after we christen their antique furniture?"

"Either way." I said, glancing up at her through my eyelashes.

She sat back as the waiter cleared our plates, thinking for a moment. "Adventure vacation to South America or romantic getaway to somewhere in Europe?"

"Depends on how many shots I'd need."

She rolled her eyes at me and laughed, "Top 3 guilty pleasures?"

"Grey's Anatomy, Peanut Butter M&M's, and Ice Capades. You?"

She was giggling like a three year old. "Ice Capades?"

"No judging. Rose used to skate and she made me watch with her. That shit can be pretty. Yours?''

She took a deep breath, and cut down her laughter. "80s movies, eating fried rice out of the carton, and um... fantasizing about you at work."

"I'm a guilty pleasure?" I asked.

"No, but fantasizing about you while I'm at work is."

"I don't get it."

She blushed. So cute. "What's there to get? When you're not in me, I'm thinking about you being in me... even when I'm sitting in budget review meetings. My body craves you."

I looked up at her, "You do?"

She nodded, biting her lower lip, "Yeah."

I laughed again, "Yeah... I still don't get it."

She laughed a bit and smiled, "What don't you get? I love being with you, and feeling you inside me, and waking up to you in the morning. At least one of those things, usually more than one actually... I think about while at work. Daily."

I shook my head, "But I'm... I'm nothing special, Bella. Really. I'm not that exciting or good... at anything." I laughed softly to myself. "Sexual or otherwise."

"You're kidding right? I saw you at work, you're an incredibly talented photographer. You're funny and compassionate and smart. And probably the most genuinely nice guy I've ever met." (sighs) "and sexually... you're just beyond amazing. You literally make my body feel alive when you touch me. I've never had a reaction to skin-on-skin the way I do with you. It's like you know just how to touch me to make me beg for and need more."

Funny, she had us confused. "Bella, I... Perhaps you've hit your head. You aren't thinking clearly." I said, smiling at her.

"Oh, and why's that?"

"Because... Because that's... that's how I feel about you. You're so smart, Bella, and caring. I just... I can't get enough of you." I laughed and fidgeted with my napkin. "I don't think I want to, either."

"I hope you always feel that way, Edward."

I couldn't imagine not feeling that way; not anymore. "Bella, you're the best."

She laughed, "I full expect a candy gram that says that now, for valentine's day next year; I hope you know that."

"You want it to say 'Bella you're the best'? That's it? Nothing more... romantic?"

"If it's from you then what's more romantic than that?"

I love you? "I dunno. It's your gift, love."

"Well all I want for valentine's day next year and every year after that is you, so anything extra - candygram or otherwise is just a bonus."

I smiled softly at her from across the table. "Then what makes it different than any other day?"

Her voice dropped to a whisper, and I barely heard her speak. "I guess it just depends what percentage of you is mine, I suppose."

My heart twisted up inside my chest as I watched the pain in her face. "But... if we're staying..."

"If we're staying, that doesn't mean I have all of you; just a big enough part for you to be okay with a change of scenery."

She wasn't getting it. She so obviously wasn't getting it. "Bella, if we're here and I'm with you, then I'm with you. You have all of me. Always."

"I know it's selfish to want Edward, to say that I want all of you. But I hope that what you said is true, even if it's not now... someday." She whispered, smiling sadly.

I sighed and kicked her leg softly under the table. "What makes you happy?"

"In no particular order?" She looked up in thought, "daisies, coffee and you... you?"

I had to laugh. That was not what I was expecting. "Daisies?"

"Mhm. They're a happy flower."

I rolled my eyes, "Okay, then."

I had her smiling again, "What? They are! You can't help but think of sunny skies and grassy fields when you see them. They just cheer me up like, without even being anything more than what they are. I dunno, it's stupid I guess..." Her eyes cast down to her lap, "What about you?"

"You," I muttered, mostly to myself.

"What?"

I shook my head and looked up at her. "It... It doesn't matter. What's important is that you're happy. Are you happy?"

"Edward, I want to know. What makes youhappy?"

"You." I repeated softly, running my hand through my hair and avoiding her gaze.

"Edward..." She called quietly.

"What?" I whispered.

"If Chanel doesn't offer me the job... if it would be easier, I'd quit it all and move here if you'd want us to start over here. I'd go anywhere to be with you - to reallybe with you."

I looked quickly to the side then back at Bella. "I thought we were already doing that."

"Oh, I thought it was dependent on the Chanel job."

I looked down at my hands folded in my lap, "Okay."

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant, I thought it was solely dependent on Chanel, but if... if you're willing to move regardless, why the hell would I say no to that? Edward you're all I want. Whether that's in New York, Seattle... the fucking amazon forest. I want you wherever I can have you forever."

I looked up at her, trying to hide the hope from my eyes. I could finally see myself doing this. I could see myself leaving Tanya and starting over with Bella. Maybe we could do this; maybe we could be together. "Do you want to? Honestly, tell me because if you say the word I'll make it happen. I don't care what it takes, Bella. If it gets me a lifetime of this, then it's worth it."

She nodded, beaming at me from across the table. "Honestly Edward, I want this... you... us, more than anything."

I took a deep breath and nodded my head decisively. "Then let's do it."

She pushed out here chair quickly and threw herself in my lap. "I don't care if they kick us out for this.." She whispered before crashing her lips to mine, and wrapping her arms around my neck. You would have thought I proposed.

I held her as tightly to my chest as I could when she finally pulled away, resting her forehead to mine. "This is it, then." I said with a smile.

She nodded against my forehead, and I could see her smiling. "This is it."

"So what do we do now?"

"Right now? Well, I believe someone still has 3 places to have their way with me before we get back to the hotel, and other than that... just work on falling in love with me." She said with a wink.

I lent my head to her shoulder and kissed her soft, cool skin. "I can do that."

She sighed contentedly and kissed my temple. "Good, and as for what comes after that... that's entirely up to you. I want to go at your pace, what you need and want... I'll follow your cues."

I shook my head into her skin. "No, baby, we have to do this together. It has to be the both of us. We're together. We're doing this together."

She nodded, "Okay."

I kissed her shoulder again. "Okay."

While Edward went to pay for dinner, I walked over to the friendly host that had helped us out when we arrived. She was a petite blonde girl with a wide smile and sparkling blue eyes. She almost looked like Tanya, only with a fuller face and body. "Excuse me?" I asked sweetly as I rounded the corner to face her.

"Hi there!" She said cheerfully. I smiled and bit my lip.

"Hi... I just have a tiny little question for you. "Oh sure, how can I help you?" She asked, cocking her head to the side, smiling.

"Right, well, see that guy over there?" I asked pointing to where Edward was speaking with our waiter from earlier. She nodded. "Isn't he hot?" I asked, almost breathlessly. I really could not get enough of him, of looking at him being around him... anything involving him and I together really.

She looked over at me warily, as if she thought I was about to pull a prank on her. "Well.. yeah. I suppose."

I rolled my eyes. "Come on, he's goregous right? Like so sexy it hurts?" I egged on. She laughed and nodded, unable to tear her eyes from his direction. "Yeah he's definitely hotter than any guy I've seen in a while around here."

I smirked. "Yeah... so. He and I have been wanting to hook up for ages, and tonight was our first official date." She turned to face me, her eyebrows softening her entire expression. "Aww, that's so sweet!" She cooed. I smiled and nodded, it really was, if only she knew.. "Yeah, but see the thing is... I really want to have sex with him. And he seems more than willing... lucky me right?" She laughed and nodded in agreement. "But here's the thing, I kind of wanted to take him by surprise, you know? Since he's probably been with hundreds of girls since he's so hot. I want to make this more.. memorable for him." She leaned over a bit, nodding. "Right, totally... I get it."

I smiled and let out a breath before lowering my voice. "I was hoping that we could use that area around the corner by the coat check. But I know how busy this place is, so I was wondering if I could ask for your assistance in redirecting people for the next 15 minutes or so?" Her eyes went wide.

"Umm... I don't know if I can do that miss." I looked at her with wide, sad eyes. "You must know, because every girl has gone through it... getting that one shot with the guy who is here," I said moving my hand to above my head, "while you feel like you're here," I replied moving my other hand to my chin. She sighed and nodded sadly, as if it happened frequently. She looked from her left to the right and peeked around the corner towards the small space where the table was. With a heavy sigh she whispered, "okay 15 minutes but after that I can't promise anything and I know nothingif you get caught and my manager comes by." I nodded, smiling, as I noticed Edward making his way over to us. "Thank you," I mouthed as he approached us, wrapping his arm around me.

"You about ready to go?" He asked looking from me to the hostess. She smirked and bit her lip looking down at her reservations calendar. I nodded, "yep I just need to get my coat."

"Oh, okay..." he said sounding somewhat confused. I tried not to laugh and grabbed his hand, turning to look at the hostess. "Thank you again. It was great talking to you." She finally looked up at us again, blushing scarlet. "Yes, yes, have a great evening. Thanks for coming -- I mean, visiting. Have a great evening." She sputtered out quickly, her face growing even redder.

We turned and walked down the small hallway towards the table. I couldn't believe we were being thisbold about it. The bathroom was one thing... but an open hallway during prime dining hours... it was hot and petrifying all at the same time. I hopped onto the table, fisting Edward's shirt and pulling him towards me. His body leaned against the table on either sides of my legs and he smashed his lips against mine tongue wrapped around his, as my hands drifted into his hair tugging on it firmly. He growled into my mouth as his hands massaged up and down the sides of my body, pulling me impossibly close to him. His hands thoughtfully slid down my dress and under it, brushing against my thighs. One hand gripped my hip under the dress while the other moved achingly slowly up my inner thigh. I hummed into his kiss, trying to get his fingers where I needed them most. I felt his fingertips hesitate a moment before he plunged two deep inside my core. I lolled my head back, murmuring obscenities under my breath. His lips moved down to my neck as he sucked on the curve. "God Bella, you're so wet. I love how wet you get for me."

"It's only you Edward. Only you can make my body do this." He groaned into my skin and he bit down, beginning to pump his fingers in and out slowly. He was trying to fucking kill me; I knew it.

"Baby please... please I need your cock inside me." I pleaded into his ear as my fingers pulled at the strands of his hair. His hand withdrew from my soaking pussy and moved to my hip pulling me off the table. "Turn around and bend over. I need to make you mine." He directed, nipping at my earlobe with his teeth. I let out a long breath and did as instructed, turning away from him and bending over. I heard his pants unzip and rustling of foil and before I knew it, I felt his cock moving up between my folds. "Fuck baby, you make me so hard." He whispered into my ear as he hovered over me. "How do you want it?"

"Pound into me Edward. Fuck me as hard as you can. Take me." I answered, turning my head to see his face. His lips attacked my own and he pushed into me roughly without warning.

"Is that how you wanted it?" He growled harshly as he plunged into me in quick deep thrusts. "Is this how my baby likes it?"

I moaned as quietly as I could as I pushed my ass towards him. "God... fuck... yes. Harder baby, fuck me harder." His hands moved to grip my hips harder and I felt his fingers digging into my flesh as he moved harder and faster against me. "Fuck baby... god you're even tighter from this angle. I could fuck you all day.... fuck your beautiful pussy." He hissed into the back of my neck. His lips roamed from the back of my neck down the few inches of bare skin on my back that were exposed. His lips were hot and his kisses damp against my skin as he continued to ram into me. "Baby, can you cum for me. Your pussy is working me so hard I need to cum... but I can't until you let go around me. Can you do that baby? Can you cum all over my dick?" I bit my lip hard and hummed a confirmation as I pushed myself harder onto him. "FUCK BELLA... SHIT... SHIT... SHIT..." He panted into my neck. One of his hands shot down and to the front of my body, sliding under my dress. His thumb and index finger found my clit and pinched it lightly.

That was all I needed. "Edward... Edward... fuck baby.... godddddddd...Edward...." I mewled as my hips bucked hard against his hand and I felt myself tighten around him letting go completely. He moaned into my neck and bit down as he pumped into me twice more before finding his own release. I felt him press his forehead into my spine and I sighed at the additional skin-to-skin contact. He remained there a few more seconds, as we both tried to get control of our breathing. Slowly he pulled out, sliding the condom off, tying it up and putting it back in the wrapper as much as he could fit it. I turned to look at him, both of our faces flush. His lips pressed reverently to mine and he sighed leaning his forehead against mine. "I can't believe your mine."

I smiled and nodded, reaching one hand up to cup his jaw. I really wanted to say I loved him, but it hadn't even been a month; was I really in love or was it simply lust in overdrive? Until I knew for sure, I didn't want to say it... there was too much to lose if it wasn't reciprocated. So instead I settled for kissing his lips, pulling away slowly to rub my nose against his. "Come on baby, let's go home."

EPOV

We decided to walk around for a little while after the restaurant, partly because it was a nice night, and partly because I needed some recoup time before I took her in the cab. I looped my arm around her waist and we started down the street slowly. After a little while, I felt her turned her face and press a kiss into the side of my neck. I smiled down at her, "What was that for?"

She shrugged and put her head back on my shoulder. "Being Edward."

I rolled my eyes and tightened my grip on her side. "Oh, okay. Since your logic is so sound."

"Hey, it's not my fault you're wonderful. In fact, I blame your mother."

"My mother, huh?"

She nodded, and turned into me a little. "Yeah, I mean she raised you so it's her fault you turned out the way you did."

I sighed. Bella was right, of course. My mother had raised me, but this-- what I was doing here and now wasn't something that I thought my mother would ever approve of. But Bella... Bella wasn't someone that I could give up, no matter what the circumstance. I needed her; to me she was completely vital. She was also poking my side. "You okay?"

I rolled my eyes and kissed the top of her head lightly. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just wondering how I got so lucky. I mean, I do get to fuck you whenever I want."

"Oh, you think so?" She asked, burrowing her head into the crook of my neck.

"Uh huh."

"Hmm. Betcha can't make me cum in there." I followed her finger to the tiny movie theater across the street. I smirked down at her. "Betcha I can."

She laughed as I dragged her (with purpose) across the street and bought two tickets for whatever movie Bella wanted to see. We were walking through the crowd in the lobby when I felt her tug on my arm. I turned back quickly, thinking something was wrong and she was looking at the ground, her lip sucked into her mouth. I reached up to cup her cheek with my free hand, and pulsed the one still wrapped around hers. "Baby, what's wrong?"

She shook her head, still not looking up at me. "Nothing. I know you were only going to screw me in there, but do you think we could stay? I kinda wanted to see this one. Like for real."

I laughed a little and kissed her forehead. "Of course, Baby. If that's what you want, then that's what we'll do."

She smiled up at me and nodded, so I pulled her back into my side as we headed toward the theater. Nothing was more apparent to me than the fact that I wanted Bella for as long as I could possibly have her. I needed her, she was keeping me sane. That, coupled with the fact that I genuinely liked her, seemed to make the guilt for not telling her the truth grow exponentially. But I couldn't risk losing her. Not now, when I couldn't even go an hour without having an anxiety attack because she's not near me. No, I couldn't tell her. She was too important to me.

I let her lead me into the theater, where we plopped down in one of the side aisles. I pulled up the arm rest between us and tucked her under my arm, not particularly wanting to be apart from her for any extended period of time. "You're awfully touchy tonight." She whispered, running her hand up and down my thigh lightly.

I leaned in and kissed the side of her head. "I missed you. I had four whole days without you, Bella. I have to make up for that."

I felt her sigh, and then throw her legs over mine. "I missed you, too. It was so hard when I didn't have anything to do. Edward, it was like I was caving in on myself."

I tucked one hand under her ass and pulled her up onto my lap, then held her close. "I know, Baby, I know. We can't do that again, though right? We won't ever do that again?"

She lifted her head and kissed me lightly. "No. Not ever."

I dropped my head to her shoulder and her hands came up to tangle in my hair, "I can't be without you, Bella."

She kissed my forehead. "Lucky you don't have to be."

I nodded and kissed her collar bone. "True."

The lights went down after that but Bella stayed in my lap because I wasn't ready to let her go. I didn't want to. I wanted as much of her with me as I could possibly get. She put her head on my shoulder, one arm wrapped around my shoulders as my hand ran up and down her back and the other rested on her knees. Slowly, I began to run my fingers up and down the smooth skin of her leg from her knee to the hem of her dress, dipping under it slightly. I felt her tense a little against my shoulder and I kissed her forehead to make her relax. "It's okay, Baby. Do you trust me?" She nodded. "Then let me make this good for you." She pushed her forehead back into the crook of my neck, and I slowly pushed my fingers up her thigh to the heat of her core. I felt her hand twist and turn in my hair, and I leaned over to kiss whatever skin I could find as I cupped her core. I felt her breath coming out in hot bursts on my neck as I traced one finger from her entrance to her clit and back again. I circled it one more time before pushing two fingers into her. She pushed her self into me in an attempt to stifle her groan and I began moving my hand faster on her back. "It's okay, Baby... it's okay. Do you want me to stop?"

"No." She breathed, "Don't ever stop."

I smiled and kissed her again before I began moving my fingers carefully in and out of her, trying not to make too much noise. Soon enough though, it was too much and I had to go faster. Bella was panting and moaning against my skin and I wanted to make her cum. I began curling them inside of her as I moved, rubbing and pressing against her walls. "Bella... Baby, I need you to cum. Baby, please, cum all over my hands... Baby, can you do that? Can you cum for me?"

I felt her start to quake and flutter against me and she moaned my name as she bit my neck. I pressed my fingers into her g spot and she came undone, squirming against my fingers and gripping my shoulders tightly. I kept my fingers inside her, waiting for her to come down from her orgasm, which she did slowly, prying her fingers from my skin but keeping her face firmly in place at my neck. I lent my head to hers, withdrawing my fingers and rubbing her back. "You okay?"

I felt her nod and I pulled her closer into me. This was where I belonged, I realized. Wrapped up in Bella for as long as I could be. I needed this... I needed her.
