Chapter VI

Bella went upstairs to get a quick shower, "I will be in bed after a shower; sorry to say I need some sleep" She said the last part with a crooked smile and a wink. "I guess I can deal with that", Jacob laughed, "I don't want your interest to be spent all in one day!"

The water felt good washing over Bella's body. Her thoughts lingered on how Edward got pleasure watching her being fucked by her husband. As she ran her soapy hands across her shoulders and between her breasts she started wondering if the thought of Edward while she had sex with her husband would be enough. Edward, even after all she had done today, the thought of him started that warm feeling in her lower belly. She had to stifle a moan as her forearm brushed her left nipple. No, she had to go to bed. The pleasures of Super Doctor would have to wait for her dreams.

"Dear, wake up.", Bella opened her eyes to see Jacob standing with a plate of breakfast and a glass of orange juice. Why was she so distracted by Edward; why did she not feel the same stirring inside of her for her gorgeous husband? He stood there with no shirt, muscles rippling and hard. She did love his broad shoulders and the muscles she loved to kiss that rose up to the sides of his neck. Her eyes traced their way down his body, his perfect pecs, and his abs were perfect. But her favorite part of her eyes tracing down his body was when she reached the waist of his pajama pants. They hung low, and it showed the muscular V working it's way in from his hip pointing down to a perfect treat. Well for most women, but for her that V and treat were attached to another man.

"Thank you dear, you shouldn't have." Bella looked at the clock, "Damn, it's 7 already? I have to be in work in a half an hour."

"I thought you weren't in till 8?"

"No, dear remember I told you…Oh, shit, sorry, I forgot. I have to go in early because there is a conference in Ireland and Dr. Cullen and Alice have to attend a conference. We are splitting up their jobs to cover and it's being done in a meeting at 7:30. Glad I showered last night, gotta go." Bella jumped out of bed, shoved a piece of toast in her mouth, put on underwear and a bra, popped a couple grapes in her mouth, grabbed some scrubs out of the drawer, gulped some orange juice, slithered into her scrubs, kissed Jacob on the cheek, slipped on her crocs and was running out the door.

"Um, yeah, love you dear…" Jacob looked down at what was left of Bella's breakfast "Well I don't have to be into work for another 2 hours, so can't let this go to waist" Jacob sat on the bed and ate breakfast hoping that when Bella got home there would be a repeat of last night.

Bella was turning off her street and started to wonder why she was leaving in such a hurry. She had plenty of time since it took less than 10 minutes to get to work. But was she really hurrying to get to the meeting or to something else. Her thoughts went right to Edward, "I guess it's not something else I am rushing to, but someone else" She couldn't believe that she was getting wet just thinking about him again. What was she, some kind of horny teenager that couldn't control her hormones? It was getting a little absurd. She wondered if she took the leap to be with him, would these feelings, no cravings, go away or get worse. She shook her head, "No Bella, it's bad enough you want to sleep with the man that saved your husband's life, your best friend's brother. But, how can you not have major guilt over it? It won't happen, just avoid any situations that would put you and Edward together. That's it, I will just avoid being alone with Edward." She smiled at her decision and hardly noticed who she pulled up next to.

The knock at Bella's window startled her; standing there was her Sheriff Swan. Bella opened the door and jumped into her father's arms, "Dad, good morning, what brings you to the hospital today?"

"Well, good morning to you too. I can't really say at this point, but you will find out soon. All I can tell you is that it is something really big for our little area, not bad or good, but just big." He put his arm around Bella and they walked into the hospital together.

Bella was embarrassed when she walked through the hospital with her Dad. He was a likeable guy, and to anybody he let go for speeding a little or other minor offenses, he was a local hero. He got high fives, offers for lunches and dinners, and one of the older nurses even slipped him her number. Ewwww, she can't ever work with her again; bad mental pictures.

"Ok, Dad, I have a meeting to go to. Want to do lunch at 12?"

"Well, Bells, I am going to the same meeting. But, yes, I would love to have lunch with you."

Bella guessed the big news was going to be revealed at the meeting, "Ok, let's go. You can sit next to me, if it gets boring and we can write notes to each other" Bella chuckled and they both walked in.

The room was mostly empty when they walked in, but the Sheriff Swan fans quickly flowed in behind them like water from a fire hose. After 15 minutes the room was packed, and Bella was sure it was with more people than needed to be there. Was she missing something, everyone was whispering to each other. Edward walked in and the room became instantly quiet, like when a Mother Superior enters a Catholic School Saturday detention.

He quickly sat down and looked at Sheriff Swan. "Please, Sheriff Swan, the floor is yours."

As her father walked to the front of the conference room, she wondered how many faced Edward had. At the hot tub he looked like a cocky man who knew he was the focus of her self pleasure, during dinner he acted like a nervous 15 year old, in his car he looked like a jealous lover angry that he had to please himself while someone else pleased his woman, and today he looked like a over-serious field general that was happy to have no emotions to weigh him down.

"As you all know, we had a patient in the hospital last week that was under guard. This patient was the son of a foreign dignitary who had fallen while hiking and broke his leg. The father of this man wants to present an award to the nurse on duty, who the boy spoke very highly of to his father. The nurse will be flying out to Austria for a week with her husband and enjoy a great vacation."

Bella was trying to think back and remember who covered the patient. Oh, yeah, now she remembered…

"So, Alice and Jasper will be having a grand time next week in Austria" Bella's smiled with the announcement and clapped. The rest of the room followed suit.

Edward stood up and the room became quiet immediately. "Because of this development, Alice will not be able to attend the medical conference with me in Ireland. The person I have chosen will have the next 2 days off, with pay, to prepare for the weeklong conference. The nurse I have chosen to accompany me is…"

Even though Edward treated the nurses harshly she marveled at how, old and young, they all leaned forward with anticipation. The thoughts probably were maybe if they could get Super Doctor away from his post they could get their claws into the sexy man under the lab coat.

"…Mrs. Black." At the mentioning of her name, Bella jumped with a start. "Um, huh, what?" Some of the other nurses snickered and chuckled.

"Mrs. Black, you will be accompanying me to Ireland for the medical conference. You have off today and tomorrow to get your affairs in order and prepare for the trip." Bella laughed inside with his use of the word Affair; then the icy grip of realism clutched at her heart. A week in Ireland with Super Doctor, alone. Jasper had complained at some point during dinner that he couldn't go with Alice. Jacob couldn't go, and that meant a week alone with the man she just promised herself she would avoid being alone with.

As the room emptied Alice walked in and ran up to Bella, "This works out so well for both of us. I get a great trip with Jasper and you get to go to Ireland. I admit, I pressured Edward to choose you, but I knew you guys would have fun."

"Yeah, I guess we will. I have always wanted to go there. Are we staying at the same hotel?"

Alice giggled, "Yes, and it's part of the reason you were chosen. See you are the only person I knew it wouldn't be a big deal for."

Bella looked at Alice quizzically, "What won't be a big deal?"

Alice turned to walk away, "Well since it was booked for my brother and I the arrangements will stay the same. You two are sharing a room."
