CHAPTER 10

He just stood there fucking smiling at me. I stared at him for a long time and realized he wasn't going to give in. So I huffed and walked out of his office to my own. The walk was short, considering my office was four doors down from his. Once I was inside, I sat at my desk and thought over what just occurred.

Did Edward Cullen seriously just have me up against his door and I did nothing to stop him? Hell I did everything to encourage him. I tell you this, that was the most mind blowing orgasm I ever had. Who knew what talents that man held with just his fingers and tongue? Me, that's who!

He then stole my panties afterward. That was so freaking hot. Exactly what would he do with my panties anyway? Where the a memento? Did he steal a lot of panties? Hell did he have his way against his office door with women all the time? I had kind of wished Jessica had been sitting there hearing me moan out his name. I bet that would have sent her right over the edge.

I needed to refocus. He wanted to have dinner, again. Did last time teach this man anything? I would say he was persistent if nothing else. He was right though, I definitely would go to dinner, but he could have asked me a lot nicer or been more romantic. But I guess this wasn't a romantic thing, right?

I still had so many unanswered questions. I sighed putting those thoughts out of my mind for now. I booted up my computer. Embry had his big meeting today and I needed to look over the PowerPoint one last time before we went into action.

Of course it was flawless. Edward surrounded himself with immaculate everything, his staff included. I had a lot to consider here. If I chose not to be his sub, would he fire me? What happens if we don't work out? Am I out of a job? I had concerns and I had every right to think them. He was a powerful man, he could say when at any moment and it would be over just like that!

Yes this would need to be thought through carefully. I decided to not think about it now. I needed to put my head in the game. A knock on my door brought me back into reality.

"Um, come in." I said

Embry popped his head in the door and gave me a a huge grin. "You ready to set up for the meeting? I just want to go through it one last time before they get here."

"Yea, of course. I was actually just looking over everything myself. You did such an amazing job with it. I'm really impressed." I smiled at him.

"Well thank you Bella. You were a great help So lets head out." He smiled once more and disappeared from my door way.

I got up from my chair and pulled out a mirror from my purse just to check my appearance. I needed to make sure I didn't look like I just had the most incredible experience of my life. Nope, I looked neat and professional.

I made my way after Embry to the conference room down the hall. He was already adjusting the monitor for his presentation. I never thought to ask him what happened to the last interpreter they had. It seemed like a position they should have filled immediately.

"Hey Embry, what happened to the last person who had my job?" I asked while shuffling some papers.

He looked up at me with an uncomfortable expression. Now that was just weird.

"He found employment else where." Edward's velvety voice came from behind me.

I spun around to face him. How did I not notice how hot he looked in that suit? It molded to his perfect body. He licked his lips then winked at me. I could feel my face burn. I had to be the color of the bright red tie Embry had on.

"I didn't know you would be joining us." I said breathless.

He smirked at me. "I just want to observe. You won't even know I'm here."

"I highly doubt that." I mumbled under my breath

"What was that?" He gave me an amused expression.

"Nothing." I gave him a tight smile

"That's what I thought." He turned his attention away from me.

I don't know what it was about being so close to him,but I could feel my core becoming wet with moisture. The last thing I needed was to have my arousal dripping down my legs.

"Um Edward can I talk to you for a minute." I nudged with my thumb to the door.

He looked up at me from what he was going over with Embry.

"Yes, of course. Excuse me Embry." Edward said patting Embry on the shoulder walking toward me.

Once I knew he was coming I stepped outside the room into the hallway. Edward stood firmly in front of me with that damn smirk plastered to his god like face. He put his hands behind his back and gave me a look that told me to speak.

"I um, can I get my panties back now?" I bit on my lip

That had to be the most awkward thing to ask someone, let alone your boss. The smirk just grew. I knew he was highly amused with me.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." He shrugged still smiling.

I gathered myself together. I can't believe I am about to say this!

"Please Edward, I don't want to make a mess of the, um, furniture. Being this close to you, its going to be a problem." I was fully embarrassed now.

He right out laughed at me! I couldn't believe him! What a jerk he truly could be.

"You know what Cullen, just for that, no dinner for you!" I protested and tried to walk away from him, but he grabbed my wrist before I could.

"Ah Ms. Swan, I kind of find it sexy, you leaving your DNA on my office furniture." He gave me a devious smile.

"How is that sexy?" I looked at him with an annoyed stare

He leaned in whispering in my ear. "Because that means I can smell you everywhere I go today. Believe me, you smell and taste delicious"

I gulped down hard. This was so not going in the direction I had hoped.

"But if you feel the need to wear panties, I suggest you find another pair because you are not getting that pair back." He gave me a dark smoldering stare

"Oh yes one more thing, dinner isn't an option, you will be there." Without waiting for another word, he walked back into the conference room.

He was one cocky son of bitch. Has my boss he certainly was entitled to tell me what to do, but as my whatever you want to call this, he didn't. I can play this game too Cullen. Maybe not as good as he can, but I don't have to follow his rules and I had no plan to.

It hit me suddenly and even Cullen couldn't have guessed it, but I had almost forgotten about the laundry I did on Friday that I had absent mindedly forgotten to take out of my car. There was certainly underwear in there.

I stuck my head into the conference room. "Embry I need to run down stairs for a minute, I will be right back."

He looked up at me and smiled. "No problem Bella."

I nodded and walked quickly to the elevator. I pressed the button about 5 times thinking it would hurry it up. I was afraid Edward would come follow after me, asking why I needed to go to my car. Just as I thought I turn my head to see him coming in my direction.

The door finally opened and I jumped in. He was fast approaching, but I was able to hit the close door button before he had a chance to stop it. I laughed to myself. Ha ha, got you Edward. It only took about 3 minutes to get to the garage where my car was parked.

I got my keys from Seth and processed to my car. For some reason you had to hand your keys over to the security guard when you got there. I never did bother to ask Edward why that was.

I popped open my trunk and sorted through the laundry basket. Bingo! I found a simple pair of white cotton underwear. I also found a pair of lacy black ones too. I took them just in case Edward tried anything cute.

I handed Seth back the keys and went back upstairs. When I made it to the conference room more people had come in. I noticed a black haired girl talking to Edward in the corner. Whoever she was, she was making him laugh. I didn't like that one bit. She touched his bicep and I nearly flew over the conference table to strangle her.

I tried to wipe the jealousy out of my mind. Not the place or time Bella. I am sure she is nobody. I hadn't realized how long I was staring, but I felt his eyes on me. He whispered something in her ear that made her blush and he walked her over to me. I did not want to meet this girl.

"Isabella Swan I would like to introduce you to Leah Clearwater, my new assistant." He smiled brightly

I almost died right in that very spot. She was too striking. Why did he feel the need to torture me like this? She was tall and slim. Her body was nicely portioned and her face, well it was flawless. Just like him. Her eyes were a dark brown and her hair was pin straight black. She had one a long sleeve tie dress that went to her knees. It was a dark plum with heels that matched. Something about her was very familiar.

"Nice to meet you Isabella." She gave me a sweet smile sticking her hand out for me to shake.

I took her hand giving her a small head nod and smile. "Yea, you too."

I heard someone clear their throat from the door way and it was Olivia. She was Embry's assistant.

"Embry, the client is here." She smiled and walked out of the room.

"Okay everyone lets settle in. I will be right back." Embry tightened his tie and walked out of the room.

"Leah I would like for you to sit in and just examine how a meeting in Cullen Industries operates. You can sit next to me." He pointed to the chair on at the end of the table closest to the door.

It surprised me that he would sit so far in back of the room. It was his company after all. Wouldn't he want to be upfront where the client would be? I gave him a perplexed look.

"Is something wrong Ms. Swan?" He eyed me

"I just figured you would sit up front is all." I looked toward the floor

"Hm, no I trust Embry can handle this. It's his meeting after all. I'm solely observing." He smiled and walked to where his chair was.

I went to the front and took my place. I watched him at the end of the table, leaning in close to Leah's ear . She blushed and giggled. What was so funny, please share with the class, I thought.

Embry walked back in the room with three middle aged men. He introduced them as Charles, Alistair, and Vladimir. They were the German's.

The meeting went smoothly and I was extremely impressed with Embry. He really wowed the client and nailed the account. One more notch under Edward Cullen's belt I thought. I kept watching Edward every now and again to see if she was still flirting with him. Without me even realizing it, he had left, with her!

It was around 12:20pm when the meeting ended. I said my goodbyes to the client and congratulated Embry. I was starving by this point, so I decided to head down to the lunch room. I remembered Friday's incident and wanted to avoid anything else like that.

When I entered the lunch room I saw Emily, Bree, and Kate sitting at their usual table. I grabbed a tray and headed to the line. Edward definitely did right by his employees. The food here was like a eating a quality meal everyday. Lasagna was the special, so I decided on that. I paid for my food and made my way to the table with the girls. They were laughing and chatting.

"Hey Bella." They all chimed at me

"Hey guys." I smiled sitting down.

"Emily here was just telling us that Jessica got moved." Kate said dangling her fork in the air

"Embry told me." Emily gave a shy smile

"Yea its true." I said shaking my head

"Wow, I can't believe it. She must have been so pissed." Bree said

"I have no idea. When I came in, she was already gone." I said shoving a fork full of food into my mouth

"Well serves her right! She gloated so much about working for Edward. It was starting to make my ears bleed. I hear his new assistant is really beautiful." Kate nodded rhythmically

I nearly choked on my food. God did they need to talk about her?Has if it wasn't annoying enough that he been flirting with her all day.

"Bella, are you okay? You almost choked." Bree looking at me with concern.

"I'm fine, just swallowed too fast." I said trying to gain control

The girls changed the subject and chatted about their weekend. Emily told us how she finally dumped her boyfriend Sam. She had it with him never showing up when they had plans. He seemed like a real jerk.

Bree told us that she met Seth's parents for the first time and that they seemed to love her. Kate had met a guy named Garret in a bar she went to with her friends over the weekend. She said the connection was instant. I laughed at how much she resembled a teenage girl with her babbling.

Midway through all the chattering, you could feel the air shift in the lunch room. People began to whisper and some gasped slightly. I had no idea what I was missing until I looked up toward the doorway. Of course he couldn't let me eat in peace. No that was unlikely today.

In walked Edward and Leah. She was still fucking giggling at him and he was smiling brightly at her. I just wanted to throw something at them. He was so giving her the wrong idea. Maybe he tried this with all his employees. I bet he had her up against his office door too. The thought of him doing that to someone else, well, I just couldn't think it. It made me cringe on the inside.

"Oh my god, its fucking Edward! He never comes down here." Blushed Kate

"Who is that?" Gushed Emily

"That's Leah Clearwater." I mumbled folding my arms over my chest slumping in my chair.

Suddenly lunch didn't seem all that appealing.

"That's Seth's sister." Beamed Bree

That's why she looked so familiar to me earlier. The resemblance was eerie.

"Seth your boyfriend?" Kate asked

"Yes. She is really great, you guys will love her. Hey Leah over here." Bree waved like crazy in their direction.

No!No! No! Stay over there. But of course she didn't. She heard Bree and her smile grew the size of a freeway. She said something to Edward and he nodded and she walked to our table.

"Hey Bree, how are you? Who are your friends?" She smiled looking at everyone.

"Oh hey Bella, nice to see you again." She gave me a genuine smile

"Hey." I said tight smiled

Bree introduced her to everyone at the table and I excused myself to get rid of my tray. I didn't bother to notice if Edward was still here or not, but once I put the tray with the rest of the dirty ones, he was standing directly in front me.

"I heard the meeting was a success." He smiled at me

"Yes, Embry nailed it, but I'm sure you knew that would happen." I looked at him

He chuckled lightly to himself before he began to speak again.

"Are you upset with me for something?" He asked amusement clear on his face

"No, why would you think that?" I asked shaking my head

"You just seem to be acting strange." He raised his eye brow at me.

"Its all in your head Cullen."I gave him a slight smile pointing my finger to my own head

He gave me a knowing look.

"Have you had time to look over my list?" He asked

"No, had a pretty busy morning. Work and all." I said wrinkling my nose

"You and that smart mouth. I will find a way to remedy that." He opened his mouth and I could see his tongue rubbing across his teeth.

Could he just be ugly? That would make my job so easy. Never in my whole life did I ever envision a hot boss. Most were old. Hell for the money he makes and the position he as, he should be!

"I'm sure Leah would be more than accommodating to read your list of demands." I said a little more sassy than intended

His expression looked taken back by my comment. Score one for the Swan!

"And why would you think that?" He gave me an agitated grin

"Oh come on Edward, you been flirting with her all day." I threw my hands up in the air.

"Technically its only been morning and a small part of the afternoon, so you can't say its been the whole day yet." He said smugly

"You are ridiculous." I said rubbing my head.

"Ah I see it now. You are jealous. That's why you acting so weird." He chuckled

"I am not!" I couldn't have sounded more like a child if I stomped my foot. I rolled my eyes at him and walked away/

I made my way out of the lunch room to the elevators. I pressed the up button and waited once more for it to come.

"You should never turn away from me, its not polite." I nearly jumped when I felt his breath so close to my ear.

"If you were my sub, you would have been punished for that." He said in a low sexy voice.

Shivers ran through me at the very thought of it. When he spoke in that tone it made me want to be punished. I heard him chuckle darkly. That just made it worse.

"Does that excite you Bella?" His lips lightly grazing my ear lobe.

"No." I could barely breath

He laughed even more. "Something tells me you are not being honest with me. That would be another whipping for you." His voice so smoldering

I felt my insides and my knees turn to jello. I just about collapsed, but he steadied me.

"I had no idea how much I affect you until this very moment. This is very intriguing." He moved away from me then.

The elevator door dinged and we both got in. I moved to the farthest corner I could to avoid him. He was making me feel so weak. I needed to breath. He had no idea what he was doing to me. Not at all. God Jake never affected me so much, barely ever.

He must have took my stance in the corner as a welcome sign because he gave me a stare full of lust and walked toward me. He placed both his hands above my head. My breathing was quickening. He was too close, but not at all uncomfortable. He was so fucking gorgeous, how could anyone stand to be near him without jumping on top of him?

He leaned down and captured my lips with his. He tasted so good. His scent was pure ecstasy. I intertwined my hands in his hair pulling him closer. His lips kissed me passionately and it made me remember what those lips were capable of. But too quickly they were gone. Its like he knew it before it ever happened.

He moved away so quickly to the other end of the elevator looking so nonchalant as someone got in. He looked like he was bored and I was in shock. Are you kidding me? I must have looked a straight mess.

"Afternoon boss." Nodded the guy in front of me

"Afternoon Ted, hows it going?" Edward answered back

"Monday." He shrugged

"How's the wife and kids?" Edward asked

"Michelle is good. Kids are getting big. Stop by some time and see them, they miss you." Ted smiled and got off when the elevator door opened

The thought of Edward with a child struck me odd. But I bet they probably would be the best behaved kids in the whole world. I looked at him and he smirked slyly at me. Finally are floor came and we both got off.

"Read the list Bella." He leaned down before walking away from me to his own office.

This was going to be a rough afternoon. I proceeded down the hall to my office. I walked in and closed the door. I had a stack of paper work to go through, but I highly doubt the boss would mind if I looked over his list instead.

I had the letter safely tucked in my desk drawer. I pulled it out and unfolded it on my desk.

This is a list outlining things I enjoy and would like to explore with you. Its just a rough outline, keep in mind. I can add or remove things. I would like you to write your feelings on each one next to the phrase. If you do not understand what something is, feel free to write that as well. This is not set in stone, so feel free to let me know how you feel. This is not a contract. There is way more for us to discuss. Look forward to talking more with you.

I took a breath before reading further. He had neatly sorted everything out into sections, but reading the words alone scared me. This man was very thorough in business and pleasure. So many concerns welled up inside of me, so many doubts. Could I really be what he needed me to be?

This was just an outline of what kind of kinky stuff he was into. We hadn't even broached the topic of rules and regulations. This was turning out to be like a job, all in itself.

He mentioned stuff like flogging, hot wax, bondage, kneeling, restraints,nipple clamps, etc.. These were some serious topics of discussion. I wasn't sure how I felt about any of it. Could I let him tie me up and hit me? What the hell is a flogger? It mentioned a cane, like a real cane that an old person uses? My head was spinning.

I spent a good portion of the afternoon writing out my feelings and concerns about his list. It was now four PM. I had gotten no work done at all. I pushed myself away from my desk. I realized I wouldn't be getting much done. I decided to head down to Edward's office to tell him I was heading out.

Has I made my way to his door I saw Leah sitting at her desk filing papers. She looked up when he heard my heels hit the marble floor. Her smile was so sickeningly sweet.

"Hey Bella, are you looking for Edward?" Her smile never flattening

"Actually, yea. Is he in there?" I asked

"He is in Emmett's office. Do you want me to call down and let him know you were looking for him?" She asked in a sincere tone.

"No its okay, I will walk down. Thanks Leah." I nodded with a smile.

"Anytime." She gave me a cute little look

I shook it off and made my way to Emmett's office. I could hear Em's booming voice through the door, followed along by Edward's velvety smooth one. I knocked and waited for an answer. I heard them both quiet down.

"Come in." Hollered Emmett

I opened the door and both men looked at me. Emmett giving me his famous cheesy grin. Edward just smirked at me.

"Bella Bella, what's going on?" Emmett asked in a friendly tone.

"I was looking for Edward, Leah said he was here." I smiled at him

"Oh really?" Emmett wagged his eyebrows

I know my face was burning up.

"Grow up Emmett." Edward said rolling his eyes.

"What can I do for you Bella?" Edward asked in that honey tone

"Just wanted to let you know I was heading out for the day, wanted to make sure you didn't need anything." My cheeks burning even more

"I will meet you in my office in five minutes, okay?" He smiled at me

"Okay." Was all I said and turned and walked back down to his door.

"Did you find him?" Lea asked

"Yea, he told me to wait for him inside, so." I pointed toward his door

"No problem." She smiled

I walked inside and closed the door behind me. For a few moments I stared at the back of the closed door. Just this morning I was up against it and he had his face, oh fucking my! My insides twisted and I was becoming heated. Through my whole little melt down I hadn't even heard him walk into the room.

"Bella are you okay?" He asked with a fucking look that told me he knew what I was thinking.

"I'm fine, never better." I said holding my tongue

"I bet you are." He said giving me his glorious crooked smile

He walked past me to his desk. He opened a couple drawers and took some things out, placing them in his pockets. I just watched him. He was so fluent with his movements. He looked up at me and closed the drawers. He walked back to my side .

"Are you ready to go?" He said looking down at me

"Go where?" I asked

He began to chuckle at me. "You said you were ready to leave, so shall we?" He gestured with his hand toward the door

"I didn't mean leave with you, I meant I was actually going home, I just wanted to inform you." I said feeling a slight bit of nerves

"Well if you are ready to leave, then you are ready to have dinner. Have no fear, I won't bite, hard anyway." His smirk growing

"Shouldn't I go home and change or something first?" I asked trying to delay this

"Why? You look lovely in what you have on. Its just food in a restaurant Bella, no need to impress me. Believe me you have already." He said

I totally just swooned when he said that. He could be such a jerk, but at the same time, so damn charming. I knew I couldn't delay this anymore, so I just need to give in and get it over with.

"Fine, but let me grab my jacket and purse." I huffed walking out of his office

I could imagine his face. He was probably so damn smug he got his way, yet again. How did he always do that? It was like he had some power over me to make me fall to his knees? Hell if I knew, but I was going to fight it all the way.

I walked to where he was standing by the elevator. When the doors opened gestured for me to enter first. We rode down in silence. It brought me back to the first time I rode the elevator with him. I was feeling so insecure in his presence. I even felt that way now. Would it always be like that? The ding of the door opening brought me back to real life.

We stepped out of the elevator and I turned to look at him.

"So who's car are we taking or should be just drive separately?" I asked

"We can take your car. My driver brought me in today." He said

"Alright, let me just get my keys." I said making my way to where Seth was seated in his booth.

"I got them already." Edward said stopping me in my tracks

"You what?" I turned and looked at him

"I needed insurance that you wouldn't leave without me." He gave me a coy smile

"You really are controlling aren't you?" I shook my head. This man was turning out to be more than I bargained for.

He walked closer and leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Oh baby, you haven't seen anything yet."

My breath hitched in my throat as I stared at him. God what have I gotten myself into.

He opened the passenger door of my car for me and closed it once I was seated. He wouldn't even let me drive my own car! He got into the driver seat and placed his jacket and briefcase in the back. He turned the car on and we pulled out into the busy Seattle streets.

"So what restaurant are we going to?" I asked sulking in my seat.

"Keko's." Was all he said

"Never heard of it." I replied

"My best friend Jasper owns it. Its one of the best restaurants in all over Seattle." He commented

"Oh I get to meet your best friend, now this could be interesting." I sat up a little straighter

"I said he owns it, didn't say he would be there." He smiled while turning a corner

I just crossed my arms over my chest and sunk back down in the seat. We eventually pulled up to the restaurant. The valet came and opened my door and I got out. Edward followed behind me holding the door open for me.

There was a beautiful young woman standing in the front. I assumed she was the hostess. When she saw Edward, this ridiculous look crossed her face.

"Well good evening Edward baby, how are you?" She just about purred

"Heidi." He nodded

"Jasper's not here tonight." She looked at him like she wanted to eat him.

"I know, he told me. He told me I was free to have any table I'd like. I want the back table." He smiled politely at her

"Of course Edward, anything for you Just let me help this lady right here.." She just about fucked him with her eyes.

I wanted to rip the long blond hair from her head. I didn't like the way she was ogling him at all. That was my job! Could she not clearly see I was with him!

"She's with me." Edward said sweetly placing his hand on the small of my back.

"Oh, I didn't realize." She gave me the fakest smile.

That's right bitch, I'm with him! Don't even get any ideas. He's mine.

She led us to the back of the restaurant. Edward pulled out my car and gave me a precious smile and took his own seat. She placed his menu in front of him and dropped mine in front of me.

"You waiter will be over in a few minutes." She gave me a dirty look and walked off.

"What a bitch." I mumbled under my breath

Edward just gave me a crooked grin and picked up his menu.

"So what's good here." *I asked scanning my own menu

"Everything really, but if there is something in particular that you would like and its not on the menu, I can have them prepare it for you." He said so nonchalantly

"Even at a restaurant you have power. Why does that not surprise me." I giggled from behind my menu

"Well Ms. Swan, you know, I am a very persuasive man. I always get what I want." I knew he had a smug look on his face.

I rolled my eyes knowing he couldn't see me. Was I supposed to be impressed with that information? I wish he wasn't trying so hard to impress me. Little did he know that just being with him was enough.

"I think I will have the chicken primavera with vodka sauce." I placed the menu down on the table

"Mm yes a good choice, I like that one. I will have that too." He smiled at me placing his menu down as well.

"Hello my name is Tyler and I will be your waiter this evening." He smiled at me and then looked taken back when he saw Edward.

"Mr. Cullen, its nice to you this evening, would you like your regular sir." Tyler asked

"Bella, do you mind red wine?" He eyed me carefully.

"No, that will be fine." I gave him a small smile.

"Excellent, Tyler could we have a bottle of Brunello please." Edward smiled handing the menus off to Tyler.

"No problem sir. I will be right back." Tyler went to turn away, but Edward grabbed his wrist before he could.

"You can put in our dinner orders as well. We both would like the chicken primavera with vodka sauce." Edward nodded to him.

"Right away sir." Tyler smiled and walked off.

"Is there anywhere you don't make people feel two feet tall in your presence." I asked

"I can't help if people are intimidated by little old me." He scoffed in a joking tone

"Right I bet you can't." I shook my head

"Very sarcastic aren't you?" He quirked the eye brow for the millionth time today.

"What can I say, you bring it out of me." I gave him a sarcastic smirk

"I wonder what else I can bring out of you." He gave me that sexy smoldering look

Tyler came back over with the bottle of wine and a wine chiller thingy. He opened the bottle and poured wine into both our glasses. Edward thanked him and he walked off.

"So Isabella, have you gone over the list." He asked taking a sip of his wine.

"Yes I did." I picked up my glass and took a big gulp.

"Slow down there. I want you coherent for this conversation." He smiled over his rim

I picked up my purse from the table. I fished through it for the piece of white paper.

"Here." I said handing him the paper.

He took it from my hand making sure he brushed my finger tips. I, of coursed gasped. He knew his touch did things to me. He didn't play fair.

"Hm, very interesting." He said more to himself while he read the paper.

I bit on my lip. I was nervous and scared at the same time. He looked up from the paper and folded it back up. He stuffed it into his jacket pocket and folded his hands in front of him. He watched me intently before saying a word.

"The list is blank. Why?" He asked.

I felt like this was getting a wee bit lengthy, so I wanted to save the rest of it for the next chapter, which I am working on right now lol. Let me know what you all think and thank you all for the love...
