CHAPTER 17
After dinner, Edward invited me back to his penthouse. We made our way up in silence; we entered into the penthouse around ten pm. The smile never left his gorgeous face. I couldn't help but be affected by it either. Once in the hallway he moved his hands to my face and kissed me very softly.
When he pulled back to look into my eyes he had such a joyous expression on his face. He led me into his sitting room and pulled me down on the couch. I gave a timid look, not sure what would happen next.
"I think there are some things we need to talk about." He smiled at me.
"Okay, like what?"
"About the club last week for starters, we never really talked about what happened." He searched my face carefully.
"The thing with Reilly, I really just want to let it go." I sat back against the sofa.
"I'm not referring to that, I mean the sex." His face now serious.
Suddenly I became anxious. Did he regret it? Did he think I was being a slut? He must have noticed the alarm on my face.
"Bella relax". He chuckled.
Then this tortured expression appeared on his face.
"I was such a jerk to you after, but it had nothing to do with you. It's just I knew you were drunk and I felt like I took advantage of you. I feel awful about that." He looked ashamed of himself.
"Edward" I took my hands to raise his face to mine.
"I knew what was happening. Alcohol-ed up or not, I knew what I was doing. I don't regret it for a minute. It was the best experience of my whole life." I gave him a reassuring smile and then kissed his lips.
He groaned like it was painful and pulled me into his chest. He kissed the top of my head and held me in his strong arms. He took a long drawn out breathe and relaxed slightly.
"You do things to me Bella that go beyond anything I ever felt. It's so brand new. No matter how I try to fight it, I can't. I'm just drawn to you like a magnet. This week, not seeing you, it was painful." He leaned his head back enough to look in my eyes.
I smiled at him feeling overjoyed that he was admitting his feelings to me. I had wanted this from the very beginning, but did his admission change anything? I wasn't sure, but I guess now was the perfect time to ask.
"So what are you telling me Edward? That you can't live without me?" I joked.
He smiled like a little boy at me and chuckled.
"Did you mean it, when you said you wanted me to teach you?" His eyes full of wonder.
He was referring to my submission in his playroom. At the time, it was all I wanted. That very moment he consumed all my senses. But did I still want that now? Maybe, but perhaps under different conditions. I pulled out of his embrace so that we were at eye level. His face gave away nothing, it never did.
"I want you; I have wanted you since we met in that elevator a month ago. But I also want someone who will take me to a movie, introduce me to his parents. Maybe one day want to marry me. Those are things you don't normally do." I twisted my fingers together.
He smiled taking my hand into his. He kissed across my knuckles and intertwined my hand with his.
"For you Bella, I want to try normal." That infectious grin came across his beautiful mouth.
It was like I could hear Belinda Carlisle singing her song I Get Weak in the background. I crumbled in front of him. I stared at him in disbelief. Did I just hear him correctly?
"You want to be my boyfriend?" I emphasized the "you" and "me" for clarity.
He began to laugh lightly,then he looked back up at me. Oh, the fire that was in his eyes, he could so easily burn me.
"I still want you for my sub, but I will change certain aspects for you."
"I don't understand?" I asked puzzled.
"I want to collar you. For me that is a big deal because I've never done that before. It's the closest thing to normal that I can do for you." He awaited my answer.
Should I be flattered or insulted right now? I guess I was kind of breaking him down. At least it was a step in the right direction.
"Like a dog collar? I saw so many online that looked like a leather collar you put on animal. I'm not animal Edward."
He looked at me with such amusement. He began to laugh so hard he fell of the couch. I gawked at him. He put his hand on his chest trying to calm himself. I gave him an insulted look.
"I'm sorry, but you just say such cute things sometimes." He chuckled regaining himself.
"Well I'm glad I amuse you Cullen." I huffed crossing my arms over my chest.
He gave me an apologetic smile and got back up on the couch.
"It's not a dog collar and I know you're not animal." He got to his feet with his hand outreached to me.
"Come." I took his hand.
He led me upstairs to his bedroom. He let go of me and walked to where his suitcases were. He opened one of the compartments pulling out a velvet black box. It was a necklace box with Tiffany & Co engraved in gold on the front of it. I walked closer to his bed and he came from the other side and presented the closed box to me.
I ran my fingers over the soft surface, tracing over the letters on top. Edward watched me intently. I removed my hand and he opened the lid; nestled in the box was a beautiful choker. The chain was short and diamond cut that sparkled. In the middle sat a beautiful diamond heart pendant. I moved my index finger across the heart, trying to etch it into my memory.
"It's simple because you have to wear it every day. Nobody would think anything unusual about it as it looks like a regular necklace, but you will understand the dynamics of wearing it. It symbolizes all the things I will do for you, for us."
His face was so lit up; I've never seen him this excited or happy before. He was like a child who was about to get the greatest gift; I stared at him for a few minutes. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to say or do. I felt like I had no control over anything at that moment.
"What does it mean, if I accept this?" I asked as I defrosted from my stupor.
"It means you are giving me your submission and that you are agreeing to obey me." His eyes danced with certain darkness.
"Can I think about it?" I asked still staring at the beautiful piece of jewelry.
"Isabella, I have given you enough time to think. Either you want me or you don't. This is the only way I know that I can give you what you want in some way. Its either you do or you don't. I can't continue you to play cat and mouse, no matter how big of a turn on it might be. It's wearing me thin, I NEED to know" His voice melting my insides.
"My boss might get jealous if I accept though, he kind of has a crush on me." I batted my lashes at him.
"Well I will just have to pay a visit to this boss of yours. I have to let him know who you belong to," the amusement back in his voice.
"I don't know he is a pretty intimidating guy. Not sure you could take him." I shrugged and looked at my nails.
I saw him before I heard him. He was standing so close to me. I looked up into those emerald eyes.
"I can be much more intimating, believe me." He grabbed me roughly by my hips.
He kissed me deeply pushing me down on the side of his bed. I looked up at him with passion flowing through my veins.
"Did you enjoy bathroom sex Isabella?" His voice husky.
"Very much," I was out of breath staring at him while he unbuttoned his shirt.
"Do you want more?" The sexiest smile I'd seen yet crossing his lips.
"Yes." I could barely get the word out.
"Then you need to accept my collar and give me your submission or it won't happen again." His shirt fell to the floor.
God his chest was so perfect with the light dusting of chest hair. I just wanted to dig my nails into his abs and lick his pecks. I was probably drooling. He was like a piece of chocolate cake. He looked so good, but also so bad for you.
"Where do I sign," I was in a comatose state.
He began to chuckle darkly. "That's my girl."
He patted my leg and pulled me off the bed.
"Where we going?" I felt the fire in my stomach begin to build.
"To my office."
I didn't really see the excitement of that room, but I followed anyway. We went back downstairs through the living room toward his office. He gestured for me to go in first and slapped my behind. I yelped and he laughed.
He opened his top desk draw and pulled out some papers. He arranged them neatly, handing them to me.
"I want you to read the contract first. I did some revisions you would reconsider. I'll let you take it home and read over it." He leaned back with his hands behind his head.
I was confused, "But I thought you just said I needed to make a decision now? That you wouldn't let me think it over?"
"I just wanted to see your reaction. You never quite react the way I expect. Take it home, review it and I will see you Monday at work." He smirked from across the desk.
"You, you don't want me to stay?" I felt slightly hurt and disappointed by this.
"I want nothing more than for you to stay, but I realize you need time to digest everything and you staying won't give you a clear head. So Monday we will talk, it's only two days. I went five days without you; two more won't kill either of us."
He was right, but then again, he always was. He knew how to play the game better than anyone. I agreed and he escorted me to the garage to retrieve my car. I promised him I would read the contact and he promised he would let me breathe. We made a compromise, but Monday couldn't come fast enough.
I spent the weekend reading over Edward's contract. Little did I know that it was more like a homework assignment. The paper he gave me was a set of directions. I was to go over his list of limits and decide what I would like to try and what I wouldn't. He also wrote in how he would like me to behave, if I choose to sign... Definitely a lot to think about!
Monday morning I found myself staring at myself in the mirror going over my outfit. I'd put on a pink silk blouse with a black pencil skirt. I decided on my black flats today. My hair was put up in a ponytail and I grabbed my jacket off the chair. Making it to the front door, I grabbed my purse and keys. It was time to see Edward.
I made my way out only to find Edward leaning against his Lamborghini. How did he know when I would walk out the door for work? I shook my head put my keys in my bag and walked over to him. He gave me a flawless smile as I approached him.
"You look beautiful today, but then again, you look beautiful every day." He said while holding the passenger door open.
"You don't look too shabby either Cullen." I joked sliding in.
He shook his head and walked to his side of the car. I wanted to tease him about his eagerness for my answer. It felt like this scene had played out between us before. Only this time, I knew how it would end. He on the other hand, was sweating it out.
We began to coast down the road before anyone said a word.
"How was your weekend Isabella?" He asked never taking his eyes off the road.
"Nothing special, I went to see a movie with Alice Saturday night; that was about how exciting it got for me. What about you?" I asked breathing in his intoxicating scent.
"I caught up on some paper work and talked to some potential sellers." He smiled quickly at me before returning his gaze to the road.
"How is that even fun?" I looked at him with amused confusion.
"While you enjoyed a movie with my sister, I made three million dollars. I would say my weekend was definitely more fun than yours." He cocked a smug smile at me
I shrunk back down into the plush leather seat. He had a point; he definitely had a better weekend than I did.
"I hope next weekend I get to spend with you. I love making money, but I'd much rather have you spread across a pile of it on my bed." That glorious smirk grew.
I felt tingly in all the right places. He says the sexiest stuff sometimes.
"I guess you like that thought huh?" He chuckled pulling into the garage.
"What makes you say that?" I was trying to keep the need out of my voice.
"The lovely shade of pink in your cheeks, it gives you away every time Isabella." He smirked and got out of the car.
I frowned slightly at his comment. I hoped I wasn't that predictable, but the amusement in his face as he opened the door told me otherwise.
"Don't frown; you are too cute to frown." He joked holding his hand out to me to take.
Has our hands clasped together I felt the electricity. Will that ever get old? I wasn't completely sure. We made our way into the elevator hand in hand. We both smiled like teenagers at each other when a hand stopped the elevator door from closing. The door reopened and in walked Jessica Stanley.
Of all things that are holy, why did it have to be the gossip queen of the century? She looked relieved that she didn't miss the elevator, but then gave a questionable look between Edward and me. I tried to wiggle my hand out of his, but he just held it tighter.
She took her eyes off us and faced the closing doors.
"Good morning Jessica." Edward said politely.
"Morning Edward," Her squeaky voice replied.
The awkward tension that was building was cutting off my oxygen. She is the same person who started rumors that I was sleeping with the boss, now he just confirmed it for her. I was going to kill him!
Finally, we made it to our floor. Jessica took one backward glance at us and headed to her office. Edward pulled me by my hand out of the elevator toward his office, but I stopped him. He jerked slightly looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"What the hell was that Edward?" I pulled my hand from him feeling upset.
"What was what Bella?" He quirked an amused eyebrow at me.
"You think that was funny? Do you know how hard it's been for me since she started that bullshit with how I got this job? Now she is going to babble it all over the office! You just confirmed my biggest fear!" I protested like a spoiled child.
He just stood there tapping his chin with his finger. He started laughing at me. He was freaking laughing! I gawked at him and went to get back on the elevator. He grabbed my arm before I had a chance. He gave me an apologetic grin.
"Bella baby, I don't think you are a joke. You know you didn't sleep with me for the job and I want everyone to know who you belong with… me." His eyes sparkled.
Of course, I was a sucker for him. I sighed in defeat and he held his hand back out for me to take. We walked into his office.
He dropped my hand once inside and hung up his coat behind the door. He placed his briefcase on the floor beside his desk. He helped me pull off my coat and hung it with his. He then took my hand and led me to the small table with two chairs he had set up on one side of the room. I sat in the chair and he sat in the other.
He looked at me expectantly folding his hands on the table. This was business right now. He wanted to know my decision. Even without him speaking it, I knew that was his intention. I pulled the paper from inside my jacket pocket and handed it to him. He gave me a smile and unfolded it.
He scanned the paper carefully for about five minutes. I kept my hands folded in my lap. Twisting and untwisting my fingers. I nervously chewed on my lip. He eventually looked up at me, folded the paper and put it in his jacket pocket. He cleared his throat gaining my attention.
"Well I'm pleased with this submission. You do realize what this means?" He watched me carefully.
"Yes." I could feel the nerves in my stomach.
"Well," he stood from the chair walking over to his desk.
He picked up his briefcase from the floor and walked back to me. Opening it, he pulled out the Tiffany's box and presented it to me. I stood from the seat and he asked me to kneel in front of him. I hesitated for a moment, not sure if I wanted to.
"Bella, you signed the contract, which means you agree to my terms. Kneel so I can collar you." His eyes began to darken.
I gulped down some air into my lungs and got to my knees in front of him. I realized at this very moment the whole dynamics of our relationship was about to change. We both would be getting a piece of what we wanted. I was now kneeling and he told me to bow my head. I did as I was told.
"Good girl. With this collar you are offering your submission to me, do you understand?" His tone was very serious.
"Yes." I said never looking up.
"When you answer me, you are to address me as master. Now again," full authority in his tone.
"Yes master." I all but whispered.
Weirdly enough, I was completely turned on by this. His strong tone and look made me want to give him anything he asked me for; he had that ability to do that to me.
"Stand up Isabella." He ordered.
I stood looking him straight in his eyes. They were so green today. The shined with pride, he was pleased with me.
"Lift your hair so I can put this on you."
I did as I was told and he clasped the necklace easily. I did it! I was now his or at least half way there.
"Now that you wear my collar you must understand its meaning. You will obey and do what I ask of you. If I feel you have displeased me, I will punish you. You read the contract, you agreed to its terms, are we on the same page?" He held my face in his hands searching my eyes.
I nodded in agreement.
"Good, I'm pleased. Since you are not going to be my 24/7 sub, you are not required to play the role until the weekend. However, I would like you to wear the collar as a reminder of who you belong to, is that agreeable?"
"Yes master." I nodded again.
"Excellent. You have made me a very happy man Isabella." He cupped my face and kissed me lightly. He tasted of peppermint and Edward, I could get used to that.
He pulled back looking me intently in the eyes. I was falling for him. He gave me a sweet smile.
"Well you know now that you are my submissive, you realize you don't have to work here if you don't want to," He gave me a sideways smile
"No Edward, I want to work here. Your company is a great place for me to be. Building a resume working for Edward Cullen, you can't top that."
"Oh did you plan on venturing out on me? Use me for what I teach you and leave?" Amusement was apparent in his voice.
"Somehow there is a double meaning with that, but I will not comment. I have work to do, so if you will excuse me." I turned on my heels, but he grabbed my arm.
"Oh Ms. Swan be careful who you walk away from." An evil smirk swept his lips.
"Is that a threat?" I asked smugly.
"A guarantee," he let go of my arm and I just stared at him.
Would it be wrong for me to admit how hot that sounded? It was weird for me to think that his idea of punishment turned me on more than he knew. However, I was pretty sure he noticed, he noticed everything.
"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong already?" I said moodily.
"No, but I'm actually not ready to let you leave my office," Edward stated smugly. "I'd like to enjoy my new possession a little bit longer" as he turned me sharply, pulling me into his arms.
He looked deeply in my eyes and said, "Don't be nervous, you're going to do wonderfully, we'll take it slow". Then he kissed me long and hard. My breath came in gasps and I clutched his arms as my knees suddenly felt weak. "Can I see you tonight?" he added in a whisper, I nodded unable to speak yet.
He held me steady for a few moments, then released me, and said, "Remember you are mine! Don't concern yourself with what anyone else thinks."
I nodded again, smiled then put my chin up and walked out of the office to face the day.
I was anticipating the reaction to Jessica's gossip to be quick and I was correct. I was being blatantly stared at as I walked to my office. Jeez, you'd think they'd never heard of office romance before. Something told me I would be paying a visit to Jessica very soon.
EDWARD'S POV
She was a minx for sure. I would get her to behave one way or another. Bella had just made me the happiest man alive by giving me her submission. I wasn't completely convinced she understood what that meant, but I would be gentle with her at first, but once her training was complete, well that would be a different story.
After about an hour of sorting through paperwork Leah paged me on the intercom.
"Edward, Jasper Whitlock is here to see you." Her voice hummed through the phone.
"Send him in," I pushed the button to end the call.
In came a smiling Jasper wearing a nice black suit holding a paper bag in his hand. I leaned back in my chair, propping my hands behind my head.
"To what do I owe the great Jasper Whitlock for this visit?" I joked
"Fuck off Cullen. I brought you some Danishes. I didn't get a chance to see you all weekend. What happened in Detroit?" He smirked placing the bag on the desk as he sat down in the chair across from me.
Oh yes Detroit, the only thing that had been on my mind since I returned was Bella.
"I handled the situation." I reached for the bag pulling out the pastry.
"Not a good enough answer. Come on man." Jasper whined.
"Makenna was pregnant with a child, but it wasn't mine. Turned out she decided to get drunk and slept with a bartender. He refused to take responsibility, so she wanted to blame me. I guess she figured by trying to pin it on me, she would be living the high life." I shrugged taking a bite.
"I knew she seemed a little too eager to put it on you, sorry about that man. So what else happened? Did you tell Bella?" He grabbed a Danish out of the bag
"I don't need to tell Bella, I already told her it wasn't mine. I reported Makenna to the community. It's up to them how she should be punished. She asked me for money for an abortion, I gave her a number for a good adoption agency and I told her to move the fuck out of my apartment." I began to lick the icing off my finger.
"Wow, that's to the point." Jasper shook his head.
"She was looking for a free ride at my expense and that's not going to happen. She violated our contract and expected me to pick up the pieces of her pathetic life. I paid for her plane ticket back to Miami where her family is, end of story."
"What about things with Aro?"
"He has been let go. His incompetency is no longer needed."
"So who is going to replace him?"
"My father is going to handle it from here. It's best that way."
Jasper agreed and we talked for a few more minutes about some problems he was having with one of the restaurants. I promised to handle it for him.
"Well." Jasper stood up from his chair wiping crumbs off his suit.
"I've got to get to work; will I see you later for dinner?" He eyed me curiously.
"Sure, I invited Bella, I hope that was okay?"
"Yea man, I like her, it's not a problem. Alice will be there anyway." He smiled at the thought.
"Good see you then." I waved him off and went back to the piles of work on my desk.
My cell phone began to vibrate in my jacket pocket. I picked it up to be greeted with a text. I opened it up to find an invitation from Dartmouth. There was an alumni ceremony coming up in three weeks. I was on the board of trustees for the school. I donate a lot of money to them every year. There is even a wing of their library named after me.
I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to show Bella that I was serious about trying a somewhat normal relationship with her. I replied that I would be in attendance plus one. I slid the phone back into my jacket.
I clicked on my computer to look over the surveillance cameras. It had been three hours since I saw Bella last. Was I becoming obsessed with her? Most likely. I think I was beyond that at this point. I clicked on the camera for the 32nd floor.
I zoomed in on her office door. Of course, I couldn't put cameras in the offices themselves that would an invasion of privacy. If there was one moral code I would try to live by, privacy was one of them because I was definitely a man who liked his privacy. I watched intently just hoping for a glance at her, even if it was just a small one.
I watched the screen for a few minutes and eventually she came out of her office. I could see the diamond on her porcelain skin shining off the reflection of the bright lighting in the hall.
She was getting water from the water cooler. I would have to get her one for inside her office. She leaned her hand against the top of the cooler to relax while she took a long sip from her cup.
A man approached her and she straightened up throwing the paper cup in the garbage. I recognized him as Doug from marketing. He was standing too close to her. She was trying to be polite to him, but you could see she was uncomfortable with him invading her personal space.
He gave her a slick smirk and eyed her body up and down. I was ready to go kick his ass. He ran his hand over her shoulder. I just about broke the computer monitor! She gently swatted his hand away and I noticed her touch the necklace.
I pushed away from my desk and rushed out of my office. Leah gave me a puzzled look, but I ignored her and headed toward the stairwell. I knew the elevator wouldn't get me there fast enough. I could run down 20 flights of stairs. Hell, I ran 5 miles a day.
Without missing a step, I made it to Bella's floor in 5 minutes. He was still ogling her when I arrived. She immediately tensed when she saw me; and that made Doug turn around. His face paled. Now he was the one looking uncomfortable. That's right asshole, you picked the wrong woman to try to flirt with, she is mine!
Bella noticed the livid look I gave him and then I focused on her.
"Ms. Swan, a word." I said a little harsher than I intended.
She looked a little scared and I hoped she knew she wasn't in any trouble, but Doug would be. She excused herself and I followed her into her office. I shut the door with more force than I should have. Bella jumped slightly.
I pushed her up against the wall, something that was becoming very regular for us. I looked her directly in the eyes and they were as big as saucers.
"I saw that jerk off flirting with you, what was he saying to you?" I barked at her.
"He asked me how I liked my job." She stuttered.
"Why was he touching you?" I was turning into a jealous fool.
"He wasn't touching me." She looked at me with brief confusion.
"Oh Bella don't lie to me. I saw you brush his hand off your shoulder. He has no right to put his hands on you!"
"You weren't anywhere around, how did you..." Then the light bulb went off in her head.
"You were spying on me!" She gawked at me.
"It doesn't matter how I knew, I don't want anyone else putting their hands on what belongs to me!" I growled at her.
She pushed her hands gently into my chest, giving us some distance, before she began to lecture me on my behavior.
"First off Edward Cullen, I do not belong to anyone! I'm not a piece of property. Second, you can't storm down here and embarrass me every time you see something through a security camera that you don't like! Thirdly, it's kind of creepy that you were spying on me from your office, yet I'm so turn on that I want to fuck you right now." As she spoke, I watch her emotions evolve after each sentence from furious to lustful.
But believe me the last one definitely fueled my fire more than the rest. Yes, her lustful expression was never hard to cover up. I grabbed her by the throat, not enough to hurt her or cause any type of discomfort. I just wanted to give her the general idea where I was heading. She gasped but didn't fight me as I kissed her lips with full force.
I removed my hands from her throat and pulled at her long silky brown hair. Our lips never parting, she moaned with pleasure and I found myself hiking up her skirt with my other hand. I trailed my palm up feeling the softness of her creamy skin. God, she was wearing stockings today!
"You drive me insane." I whispered into her neck as I bit on it lightly.
"You have the same effect on me. Oh fuck!" She moaned as I nipped at her earlobe.
I took both my hands and slid her stockings and panties off her hips, pushing them to her ankles. Her hands rested on my shoulders. My fingers inched up her thighs and she gasped loudly. I rubbed my palm up higher and reached her soaking wet core.
"I love how wet you get for me." I smirked at her.
Her eyes rolled into the back of her head. I teased my finger along her wet folds, and she rewarded me with a throaty moan.
I took my hands away from her eager body and backed a few feet away. She opened her eyes and there was an understandable pout on her face. Like me she missed the connection we had.
Bella's POV
He backed way with a huge smirk on his face and began to unbutton his jacket. Who was I to stop him when he looked so fucking sexy? I'm sure my face gave me away, I was lusting big time and he was undressing to slowly. I was trapped in my stockings around my ankles trying not to move unless I felt like falling over.
He threw his jacket on the desk and kicked off his shoes. I never took my eyes off him. He untucked his shirt and began to unbutton it. I could feel the fire burning in my stomach as he exposed his beautiful chest to me. He was now shirtless and shoeless and I couldn't move!
"Enjoying the view?" He cocked an amused eyebrow at me.
Numbly I nodded my head never removing my eyes from him.
"You have too many clothes on Isabella, what will we do about that?" His voice oozed of seduction.
My breath caught in my throat and the next thing I knew my shirt was being pulled open. Buttons scattered across the room and my bra was on display in front of him. He rubbed his hands over the white lace of the bra and his dark lustful eyes stared at me.
"These," he cupped my bra covered breasts in his palms. "Belong to me."
I nodded enthusiastically. His smirk grew wider and he reached to the back of my bra undoing the clasps. He pushed my shirt off my shoulders and it fell to the floor in a pile of pink silk along with the bra. He rubbed his hands across my now bare breasts and skillfully rubbed my nipples with his thumbs.
The feeling he was creating sent tingles to my core. God he made me feel so good with such minimal effort.
"Now look, we are even again." I assumed he was referring to the fact we both still had on bottoms.
"I only have my skirt on; you still have your boxers and pants." I panted.
"Awe, yes you are right." He continued to pinch my nipples with his fingers.
"Oh Edward," I closed my eyes.
I felt his warm mouth wrap around my right nipple and he suckled it, then biting it tenderly. My knees instantly failed and he grabbed my waist. We both hit the floor with a low thud. I was now sitting half in his lap and half planted on the floor.
He returned to massaging my breast with his mouth; when I pushed him away, he looked at me confused.
"I want to please you, may I?" I looked at him for my answer.
He looked a little perplexed by my request, as if he didn't understand. I reached for his belt buckle and his eyes looked at me with desire. He reached for my hand to still me.
"Bella, you don't have to," his voice low and husky
"I want to, please let me." I was craving him so badly
He looked at me for a moment, but let his hand fall. I quickly unbuckled his belt and undid his pants. I pushed him back to get him to lie on the floor. He slowly lay down and I pulled at his pants to pull them down his waist. I could see the bulge he was restraining. I got his pants and boxers down to his knees. His erection sprung out and I gasped.
I swear I heard him chuckle. I looked up to see his head slightly tilted upward and he had a huge grin plastered across his exquisite face. I gripped his erection in my hand and stroked it up and down gently. A hiss erupted from his chest and I knew he was enjoying the torture.
I stroked my hand up and down his length a few more times, and decided to use my tongue and began to lick his shaft while I massaged the head with my hands.
"Oh yes! Bella that feels so good. Mmm, take me in your mouth." He groaned.
I removed my hand and popped the head into my mouth. I circled the tip with my tongue and moved the rest in and out of my mouth at a steady pace. Once I got a rhythm I knew Edward liked, I stuck with it. I pulled my mouth all the way down and when I would come back up, my hands would replace where my mouth just left.
"Fuck, damn, Bella just like that, you're going to make me cum!" He screeched through clenched teeth.
I continued with my assault on his dick, taking him deeper and deeper into my mouth. I could feel his length straining tighter in my mouth and I knew he was about to burst at the seams. I sucked him harder into my mouth and I felt his hand gripping in my hair.
He tugged at it hard and then his body began to shake.
"I'm so close, don't stop! YES BELLA!" He all but screamed as he came into my mouth.
He tasted so sweet and utterly Edward. I swallowed all of his essence into my mouth until I knew he was done. I leaned back on my knees and he immediately shot up off the floor and pulled me into a deep kiss.
He stopped after a few moments to catch his breath and looked at me with an awestruck expression. He caressed my cheeks with a huge smile on his face.
"That was the best blow job I ever had." He looked like I'd just given him the best gift ever.
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it." I giggled, not sure how else to respond.
"You have no gag reflex at all. That is so impressive." He continued to softly stroke my cheek.
I just cracked up laughing wondering how that was a good trait to have.
"You never fail to impress me." He kissed me softly, then pulled his pants up and stood.
He reached out his hand to help me off the floor. We collected our various articles of clothing from the floor. He had ripped open my blouse, so now it was useless to me unless he had a seamstress on staff to repair his destruction.
"What am I supposed to do for a shirt now Edward?" I gestured with my hand in front of myself.
"This is quite a predicament, isn't it?" He examined me tapping his lip. His playfulness flashing in his eyes.
I shook my head at him waiting for answer.
"I could just let you walk around like that for the rest of the day, but then again, I really don't want any more Doug's ogling my girl, so let me take you home to get a new one." He smirked
"I can take myself..." But I stopped before I could say another word.
Believe me he waited for me to say the words, but he knew I couldn't. He'd driven me to work this morning; I didn't have my car.
"Yes, like I said, I can take you home to get a new one or we could go to a store and you can pick one up; your choice."
I thought about that for a minute. The drive home was about 20 minutes and I knew there was a boutique across the street. I could sacrifice walking across the street.
"The store over by the coffee shop should have a blouse to replace this one. Just let me retrieve my..." Again, he had the upper hand.
Amusement so apparent on his face; he had my coat in his office. It seemed he wasn't willing to let me out of his control for any length of time today. That gave me a warm feeling.
"Here", he handed me his suit jacket to cover up my blouse.
"I will go up and get your coat, wait here." He pointed and left the room. I sat down at my desk and played with my pen.
I hadn't accomplished much with this job so far, but then again, it just seemed like busy work. I huffed and leaned back in the chair crossing my arms over my chest. I felt something in Edward's jacket pocket vibrate.
The motion wouldn't stop, so I reluctantly pulled it out. He had a text from someone, but the name wasn't displayed, just a phone number.
Edward I see you will be attending the dinner; it's been a long time since we saw each other. Lots of catching up to do. I have missed you sweetheart.
That was all the message said and I would be lying if I said it didn't make me jealous. Who was this woman? It had to be a woman, what man calls another man sweetheart! Oh he would be so pissed if he knew I read his message, so I quickly deleted it and slid it back into the pocket of his jacket.
Like clock-work, he opened the door at that very moment.
"Ready to go?" He held my coat up in his hands.
"Never been more ready in my life." I mumbled walking over to him.
He held the coat up for me to put on and we walked to the elevator to go to the store to acquire my new shirt.
We walked into a small boutique called Heiress that was across from Cullen Inc. A small woman with graying hair approached us immediately. She was nicely dressed in a fitted black suit. It looked expensive, just like everything else in this store.
"Good morning Mr. Cullen, to what do I owe the pleasure?" The lady batted her eye lashes at him.
Even older women wanted a piece of him. Did his appeal know no bounds?
"Hello Gretchen, what a pleasure to see you again. This is Isabella; she is in need of a new blouse. She had a bit of an argument with the one she had on." He looked at me and winked.
An argument indeed …with his hands!
"What a lovely young woman you are. We have a nice selection of blouses over here." She gestured with her hand to some racks with a large assortment.
I smiled at her and began to sort through some tops. I found a nice caramel colored blouse similar to the one Edward had just destroyed. But when I looked at the price tag the price nearly knocked the wind out of me.
"$200! Are you kidding me?" I mumbled under my breath.
"Don't worry about the cost. If you like it, I will get it, simple as that." He whispered in my ear from behind.
I jumped slightly not realizing he was so close.
"Edward, I…" But he took his finger and placed it on my lips.
"You promised to let me do this and the first step is letting me pay for the shirt." He smiled.
I nodded and his face lit up. If I knew, all I had to do was agree with him I would have done it a long time ago.
He paid for the shirt and I changed into it in the fitting room. It fit very nicely, I must admit. I would definitely try not to ruin it. We made our way back into the building. We stood by the elevator waiting for it to come.
"I really like the color on you, it does it for me." He smirked.
I blushed and thanked him.
"Are you hungry?" He asked holding his hand to allow me to step in the elevator.
"I could eat." I lightly laughed.
"Wonderful. Shall we have lunch in the cafeteria or do I am embarrass you?" Humor clear in his voice.
"Edward, you should be the one embarrassed to me seen with me, not the other way around." I shook my head.
He hit the stop button, making me jerk in my place. He stood in front of me and his expression grew grim, this wasn't good.
"Isabella, what do I have to do to convince you that you are amazing? You don't see yourself very clearly at all. You're very beautiful, don't ever doubt that." He kissed me hard and moved away resetting the button.
We got off on the 10th floor where the lunch room was. Again, he let me walk off and he followed behind, close at my side. I could feel every eye in the room watching us and judging me.
Well our Bella and Edward both are keeping secrets, mm mm. Tell me what you all think!
