Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I had my daughter's 3rd birthday party to plan, my father-in-law's birthday was the weekend after and it's been crazy here with the two kids. My little one has been a bit of a handful and isn't letting me sleep at night, so I've been in no condition to write. I promise the next chapter won't take as long to update. Thanks to all the new readers, glad you've found this story and like it enough to put it on alert.
Stephenie Meyer owns Edward and Bella, I own the words to this story.
Bella nibbling on my ear was very distracting and I could hardly concentrate on the conversation I was having, but it felt oh so good. She stuck her tongue out and licked her way up the shell of my ear and then blew on it which made my body erupt in goose bumps. I let out a little moan at the sensation and Bella giggled.
"Edward, are you even listening to a damn word I'm saying?" Jasper yelled at me.
"No, not really." I told him. Bella had moved her way from my ear to my neck and was kissing, sucking and licking every sensitive spot.
"God dammit Edward. Look Emmett is hell bent on going out tonight and as much as I would rather spend the evening with just Alice you know if we don't give into him he's just going to keep at it until we finally cave."
"Not happening Jazz, I'm a little…oh that's nice. Mmmm"
"EDWARD!!!"
"Sorry. I have plans already Jazz. There is no way in hell I am going out to a….oh fuck that's good. Jazz I gotta go. Bye." I hung up the phone before he could say another word. He was right, Emmett wasn't going to give up easily, but I really didn't plan on leaving my condo tonight.
"Edward, you were so fucking sexy in that meeting this morning. God the way you took control made it very hard for me not to just have my wicked way with you right there in front of everyone." Bella said as she continued her assault on my neck. She lightly sucked on the spot behind my ear that just drove me absolutely crazy.
"Really?" I asked in disbelief. I had no idea that she'd get turned on by watching me present in a meeting, but if this is the reaction I'll get when she does sit in on meetings then she's sitting in on ALL my meetings.
"Mmm, yes. " She moaned. Her hands were making their way up and down my chest and she started unbuttoning my shirt. I grabbed her ass and gave it a squeeze and started kissing her neck. Her little moans were spurring me on so I moved my hands to her jacket and started slipping it off of her shoulders. Once it was off I threw it onto the floor and started on her shirt. I lifted the hem of her shirt and brought it over her head so she was just in her bra. She was straddling me and had gotten to the last button and slipped my shirt off of me. Bella was kneading my pecks and kissing my collar bone. It felt unbelievable.
Bella stopped all of a sudden and got up off of my lap. I may have stuck out my bottom lip to pout at the loss of contact between us.
"Where do you think you're going?" I asked her. I tried to lunge for her but she was quick and apparently sensed my next move and backed up just far enough away that I couldn't grab her.
"Ah, ah, ah Mr. Cullen. Good things come to those who wait." She said seductively.
"Bella, I waited a long time for you and now that I have you I can't be a patient person any longer. Now come here so I can ravage you." I got up off the couch to move towards her but she turned and ran into my room, closing the door behind her.
"You wait out there big boy. I'll be out in a second." Bella called from behind my bedroom door. "Go sit your cute ass back on the couch."
I did as I was told and sat my happy ass on my couch. I didn't know what Bella had planned for this evening, but I had a feeling it was going to be good. Very, very good.
My home phone rang, but I chose to ignore it and continue waiting for Bella to reappear. I went to the answering machine, but whoever it was hung up without leaving a message. Must not be that important. Before that thought finished in my head I heard my cell phone ringing, and then I heard what I could only assume was Bella's cell phone ringing.
I got off the couch and picked up my phone. I knew who it was; I didn't need to look at the caller id.
"What Emmett, I'm a little busy right now." I asked when I picked up the phone.
"I know full well what you're up to Edward, Jazz said it sounded like you and Bella were getting it on, so I was courteous enough to give you 5 minutes before I called so you could finish up."
"Goodbye Emmett." I pulled the phone away from my ear and ignored the loud ramblings of my brother on the other line. I hung up the phone and went back to the couch.
"Who was that?" Bella's voice came from behind me.
"Emm…WHOA!" I was shocked at the sight before me. Bella was in a blue bustier and matching panties. There was a navy blue satin strip going down the middle of her abdomen starting from right under her perfect breasts until it hit the top of her matching panties. The rest of it was a sheer black material showing off her delectable skin.
"You like, Mr. Cullen?"
"Uh…fuck." I whispered. Bella giggled at my response. Her in that get-up made me an incoherent mess. My cock was rock hard and was practically begging me to come out and play. I licked my lips as I took in Bella's body.
"What did I tell you about good things coming to those who wait?" Bella started to walk over to me when my cell phone rang again. "Ignore it."
I gulped, like I would answer the fucking phone with my girl standing in front of me with THAT on. I don't think I would be able to even hold a conversation with whoever was calling anyway, so I let it ring. It finally stopped and Bella was right in front of me. I had my hands on her hips just staring at her. She got on her knees in front of me and started undoing my pants. I felt this sudden urge to kiss her so I brought my hands to her face and pulled her to me for a searing kiss, which caused us both to moan.
"Lift your ass for me baby." Bella whispered into my mouth. I released her lips from mine and did as she asked. She slipped both my pants and boxers off of me at the same time. Her hands began to massage my thighs and her head dipped down to my erection. She licked the tip of my cock and I had to fight off coming right then and there. I don't know how she does it, but I seem to always be right on the verge of coming when she's barely even touched me. Before I could think any further she had me fully in her mouth. I could feel the back of her throat and I was again fighting the urge to just let go. Bella started moving her head up and down, licking and twirling her tongue around my tip with every pass. She would suck so hard while coming back up that I am sure if she actually released me from her mouth at that moment there would be a pop sound. One of her hands went to my balls and she gently squeezed them.
"OH Fuck Bella, that's so fucking good baby." I moaned. I wasn't sure if she heard me, but she moaned around my cock making it that much more pleasurable. Her other hand made its way to my ass and she stuck her finger into the hole there. This was not something I had ever experienced before, but I liked it. It was like all my nerve endings were on fire. Bella added a bit more pressure to everything she was doing and I was coming into her hot mouth in no time.
"How…fuck..Bella." This was all I could manage to get out in my post orgasmic fog. I was trying desperately to get my breathing under control because there was no way I was done with her yet. Bella sat up on the couch and wrapped herself around me while my breathing normalized.
"Was that okay, Edward?" She asked shyly.
"Okay?! That was more than okay Bella. I've never experienced anything like that. It was amazing, you're amazing." I told her. I kissed her forehead, then her nose, then her lips. I slipped my tongue in her mouth and our tongues started to fight for dominance. I won the battle and was ready for round 2 in no time at all. I pushed Bella back onto the couch and started kissing all of her exposed skin.
"Edward, you feel so good." She moaned.
"I'm going to make you feel even better Bella." I replied to her while my lips made their way to her beautiful breasts. "Fuck this thing you have on is sexy, but it needs to come off."
Bella sat up and I started the daunting task of taking her bustier off without damaging it, when I really just wanted to rip the fucking thing off of her. It wasn't as difficult to get off as I thought and her chest was exposed to my greedy eyes and hands quickly. I sucked on her left nipple while my hand kneaded her right breast. Bella's back arched bringing her closer to me. I kissed her tight stomach and slipped my fingers into the waistband of her panties. Bella lifted her hips to me and slid the offending material down her long legs. I couldn't wait much longer to be inside of her, but I needed to make her cum for me first.
I slid a finger into her wet pussy and licked up her slit making her moan my name. My tongue licked her clit and her moans became louder. I stuck another finger inside of her and started to rub her g-spot while my tongue worked her clit.
"Oh, Edward. Oh My GOD!!!! Fuck! FUUUUCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!" She screamed as she came. I continued my ministrations so she could ride out her orgasm. Just when I thought she was coming down she started back up again as another wave hit her. "EDWAAAARRRRDDDDD. Holy………FUCK." She was breathing heavily as I pulled my fingers from her pussy. I slid my way up her body and kissed her on the lips. She stuck her tongue into my mouth and deepened the kiss. I pulled away from her smirking.
"You're beautiful Bella. So fucking exquisite. How'd I get so lucky?"
"I should be saying that Edward. That tongue and those fingers of yours are magical."
"Magical, huh? Well what about my cock, is that magical too?"
"Um, well, I can't remember, you may need to refresh my memory." She giggled again at me.
"I think that can be arranged." I positioned myself at her entrance and with a kiss I thrust into her warmth. We both moaned at the same time.
"Fuck me, Edward." So I did. I thrust in and out of her placing kisses all over her face and neck.
"Harder, I need you to fuck me harder." She didn't have to ask me twice. I started pounding into her, her breasts were bouncing up and down in the most tantalizing way and I had to have one in my mouth. I sucked on her nipple and lightly nibbled and tugged on it with my teeth. I needed to feel her deeper so I sat up, brought her legs up to my shoulders and pounded into her relentlessly. Bella was writhing beneath me, screaming my name over and over.
"So good baby, you feel so fucking good around my cock."
"Right there Edward, don't fucking stop. Yeah, oooohhhh, right there. MMMMMMM. Oh shiiiittttt." Bella was milking me for all she was worth and soon I was spilling inside of her. I collapsed on top of her, holding myself up with my forearms so I didn't squash her. Our breathes were both labored as we were trying to come down from our highs.
I finally rolled off of her onto my back as she snuggled into me, her head on my chest as her fingers traced patterns on my abs. I don't know how long we were fucking on my couch, but I did hear our phones going off a few times, but I couldn't care less about who was calling or what they wanted. We finally got off the couch and got into my bed before falling asleep in each other's arms.
This was definitely better than going out to a bar with my brothers to celebrate the Black account.
Earlier that day
I had stepped into the conference room and laid out all the materials for our presentation. I had no doubt that Jacob was going to be thrilled with what we came up with. It was one of the best campaigns we've done to date in my opinion. I was busy organizing the materials that I didn't hear anyone come into the conference room. I was startled by Bella asking me if I needed any help.
"Sorry, I thought you heard me come in." Bella said
"It's alright, I was lost in thought trying to make sure everything was right for the meeting." I told her.
"You'll be great, don't stress over it." Bella was standing in front of me then. She stopped and looked around, probably to see if anyone was watching based on her next move. When she turned back to me she got up on her tip toes and placed a sweet kiss on my lips. "Better?"
I shrugged my shoulder and replied with, "Eh!"
"Eh, really? Just Eh, huh?"
"I know a way you can make it a whole lot better" I told her as my hand grazed her exposed arm.
"We don't have time for that Edward." I pouted. "Don't give me the puppy dog eyes; you know I can't resist them." I pouted some more. "Ugh, fine. I'll tell you what. If you're a good boy and do well in this meeting, I may have something special planned for you for tonight. How's that sound?"
My eyes widened at her suggestion and I gulped, unable to speak at the moment I simply nodded.
"Good, so what can I do to help?"
I raised an eyebrow at her, knowing full well that she would know exactly what I was thinking just by the look I was giving her. She looked at me since I didn't respond to her question and huffed.
"Anything but that. I told you, later." She turned around to the materials on the table and looked back up at me. "Where do these go?"
"One at each seat."
We were just about finished setting up when Jessica walked in with the refreshment cart.
"Edward, here are the pastries and drinks you wanted. Should I set them up for you?" Jess looked up and noticed Bella. "Oh hey Bella."
"Hey Jess. How's everything going with Mike?" Bella asked her. It was nice to see that Bella and Jessica were getting along. It would definitely make things easier in the future.
"He's great. Thanks for asking." She turned her attention back to me. "So should I set this up or do you want to do it?"
"Yeah, go ahead and set it up. You do a really good job with that stuff. I have a few more things to get ready so that would help me out a lot. Thanks Jess."
"No problem." Jessica replied. She then set to work to arrange the various food and drinks along with plates and all the necessary items we would need for the refreshments. "So Bella, how are things going with Seth?"
I winced at the mention of Seth's name and waited to hear what Bella had to say. I didn't think she could have already broken things off with him because she was with me last night and this morning and I didn't see how she would have had the time. I was really hoping this wasn't the case though and that she had already broken up with him.
"Actually, we broke things off. He's a really nice guy and all, but he just didn't do anything for me, you know what I mean?" Bella looked at me and winked before turning her attention back to my assistant.
"Oh that's too bad. Mrs. Cullen actually tried to set me up with him at one point as well, but I was dating someone at the time. He's really cute." I was a little shocked that my mother would try to set Jessica up with Seth and then Bella, but my mother does think she's a matchmaker so it shouldn't really surprise me.
"Hmm, that's interesting. She is such the little matchmaker that one." Bella replied. I laughed at that because it's what I was just thinking.
"Has she ever tried to set you up Edward?" Jessica asked me.
"Uh, yeah, plenty of times. Some of the girls she would set me up with were just…I don't even know how to describe them properly. I'll just say that I've had some interesting dates because of my mother and leave it at that." Both Bella and Jessica chuckled along with me at my statement.
"Alright, we're all set. Did you need anything else?" Jessica straightened up the napkins and utensils one last time before cleaning up what little mess she made.
"It looks amazing, thank you again Jessica. I think we are ready now."
"Thanks Jess for helping us out with this." Bella said.
"No problem, that's what I'm here for." She was at the door when she turned back around. "Oh Bella, let's do lunch this week. I want the scoop on Seth and everything that's going on with you."
"That sounds great, how about tomorrow? I feel like we haven't gotten a chance to talk in so long Jess." Bella responded. I really had no idea that these two talked on a regular basis, I was going to have to ask Bella about that later.
"Tomorrow sounds perfect. Talk to you later. Good luck with the meeting Edward, I'm sure you'll do awesome as always." Jessica said and walked out the door.
"Well that was interesting." I commented. I raised an eyebrow at Bella, questioning her and Jess' friendship that I didn't know they had.
"What?" Her face showed nothing but confusion by my statement.
"I had no idea that you and Jess talked regularly and went to lunch together."
"Yeah well, like I said, there's a lot you don't know about me. Jess and I talk on occasion, it's not like we're best friends or anything. It's just nice to talk to someone at work sometimes." She stopped to look around the conference room for a brief second before continuing. "Well it looks like everything is under control here. I'm going to head on back to my desk and grab my pen and notepad before the meeting starts. See you in a few babe." Bella turned on her heel and smacked my ass playfully before leaving the room.
"I'm gonna get you for that Swan." I said before she was out the door.
"I'm counting on it Cullen." I heard from just outside the door. I could stop the loud laugh that came out.
I went back to my office to collect my thoughts before Jacob got here. I knew there was nothing to worry about, but I always got like this before a bog meeting, it's just how I work. There was a knock at my door a few minutes later and I looked up to find Jasper and Emmett standing there.
"Hey guys, come on in. I was just preparing for the meeting. You guys ready?" I asked my brothers.
"Yes, we're ready. We were just heading over there now and I thought we'd come by to pick you up on the way." Jasper stated.
"Yeah, we thought you might need your usual brotherly pep talk." Said Emmett. Both he and Jazz had taken to giving me pep talks right before presentations and for some reason they actually made me do better. I was glad to have such great brothers.
"I think I'm good actually, but I'll walk with you to the conference room. Jacob should be here any minute." I grabbed my things and went to meet them at my door, Jazz and Em turned to walk down the hall and I followed close behind.
We were talking about various things on the way to the conference room, mostly the girls, although I didn't contribute too much since no-one in the office knew about my relationship with Bella and we wanted to keep it that way for the time being. My brothers both said how happy they were and although they didn't need to tell me since it was written all over their faces, it was nice to hear them say it out loud.
Everyone was settled into their seats when Jessica came in followed by Jacob and his CFO Sam, CIO Paul and his wife and partner Leah. We said our hellos, shook hands and made the introductions before everyone then took their seats.
"Bella, it's so nice to see a female in one of these meetings, I swear the boys just talk about sports and cars once they're done talking business and it just bores me to tears." Leah said to Bella after they were introduced.
"I can only imagine. Well we'll have our own girl talk while they talk about their manly things." Bella replied and winked. Leah and Bella seemed to be hitting it off right away and I could tell by the look on Jacob's face that he was elated.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's get started shall we?" Everyone stopped all their personal side conversations and turned their attention to me. "I'm glad you could all take the time out of your busy schedules for this meeting, so I won't take up too much of your time. We have drafted a couple of ideas for your campaign and we think you'll be very pleased with what we've come up with." I started.
The meeting went on for an hour. Everyone at Black Automotive loved both ideas so we were going to start with one and then add the other idea a little later. The men of course talked about sports and cars as the women talked about shoes or something of that nature. I wasn't really paying attention. I did glance over at Bella a few times and winked at her to let her know that I was paying attention to her at least and she'd subtly wink back or smile at me. After the meeting, we all went to lunch to celebrate. Jacob seemed to be paying some extra attention to Bella, asking her about her job and experience, but I wasn't too concerned. I made small talk with Leah and Paul while Emmett, Sam and Jasper all talked about various things. After lunch we all headed back to the office, Jacob and his team all said their goodbyes in the lobby and told us they'd be in touch in a couple of weeks to check on the progress of the campaign. Leah and Bella hugged each other and promised to set up a lunch date later in the month. All in all things went really well.
"We are SO hitting up a club tonight boys." Emmett cheered.
Jasper and I gave each other pointed looks. Neither of us wanted to go out and party tonight. Bella had a surprise for me and I was hoping that I'd be enjoying that alone with her in my condo, preferably while we were both naked.
"Um, sorry Em, I have plans for Edward tonight." Bella told him as she gave me a sly little wink. Yep, it'll be naked time for Edward tonight. Since when did you start talking in the 3rd person douche?
"Oh HELL no. You guys are coming out and we are going to CELEBRATE. This is HUGE! We have to go out and dance and get shit faced." Emmett complained. He was giving us all his infamous puppy dog eyes. We all knew he wasn't going to take no for an answer, but I was set that this one time Emmett wasn't going to get his way. Bella and I had plans, naked plans; there was nothing that was going to take me away from that.
"Sorry, Em. Alice and I have plans tonight too. Why don't you and Rosalie go do something fun?" Jasper told him.
Emmett groaned. "Man, I wanted to party with my brothers tonight."
"I'm gonna tell Rose you don't want to be alone with her Emmett." Bella threatened, she was pulling out the big guns.
"NO, that's not what I was saying. Of course I want to be alone with Rosie, but I also want to hang out with you guys and knock back a few."
"Sorry." Jasper, Bella and I all said at the same time.
"I won't give up. You guys will give in eventually, just you wait." Emmett said as the elevator stopped at our floor. We all walked out of the elevator and made our ways to our respective offices.
The rest of the day flew by and before I knew it Bella was standing in my doorway with her stuff all packed up and ready to go.
"Ready to go handsome?" She asked me.
"Yep, shutting down the computer now. So you want to tell me what you have planned for tonight?"
"Nope, you'll just have to wait and see. Now come on. Let's get out of here." Bella stretched her hand out to me. There was no one left in the office so I took her hand and led her to the elevators. Once inside I kissed her hand. She just smiled at me and I knew we were going to have a great evening.
The next morning
Last night was nothing short of spectacular. Bella and I fucked on practically every surface in my condo. Emmett was relentless in his phone calls but we never gave in and stayed home. When my alarm went off with Infatuation by Maroon 5 I could help the chuckle that escaped. It always reminded me of Bella and now I had her here in my bed, naked after an all night fuck-a-thon. I was beat, but blissfully happy.
"What's so funny?" Bella asked in her groggy, and very sexy, morning voice.
"This song. It just reminds me of you."
"Hmm, I love this band. This is a good song too." She laid her head back down on my chest and I played with her hair for a bit before we truly had to get out of bed. "Wait, why does this song remind you of me?"
"Have you listened to the words?" I asked her.
"Yeah. I don't get it."
"Bella, I've been infatuated with you for months. This song fit perfectly with how I was feeling before we got together."
"Oh. So the fantasy of me was killing you huh?" She asked me as the chorus ended.
"Not being able to touch you the way I desperately wanted to was torture Bella. Absolute torture." I told her as I moved my body on top of her and kissed her gently on the lips.
The rest of the week flew by quickly. I hadn't heard anything about the investigation with Tanya's accusations yet and it was starting to worry me. Shouldn't they be done already? There was absolutely nothing to find to validate her claims so I would think they would be done by now. It was Friday afternoon and everything was right on schedule for the new campaign for Black Automotive. True to his word Jacob either called or stopped by during the week to talk about where we were. He was very hands on with all aspects of his company and I had a feeling that was why he was so successful, that and everyone seemed to love him. I noticed him talking to Bella for a little while when he was here on Wednesday, but I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it yet.
I hadn't seen Bella outside of the office since Tuesday morning. She had various things going on with the girls and even invited Leah to their girl's night out. It was really nice seeing those two get along so well, even Jacob mentioned it.
"Bella and Leah are becoming fast friends." Jacob told me on Wednesday night while at Emmett's to watch a game and have some beers.
"Yeah, it's great. Bella's amazing." I had had three beers at this point and I couldn't believe what just came out of my mouth. Jacob was going to know for sure about my and Bella's relationship if I didn't keep my mouth shut. My only hope is that he is a little buzzed and didn't really realize what I had just said. All hope was lost when he gave me a knowing look before taking a pull from his beer.
"Yes, she is. I can't believe it took you idiots so long to promote her to Junior Account Exec. She's got a real knack for this stuff."
"I know, but she was Carlisle's assistant and I don't think she really showed him her potential until your account landed into our office. She was responsible for probably half the idea we worked with. One of them in fact was the one with the little boy and his father." I told him.
"Really? I had no idea. I mean we talked a little today and I got the sense that she was good at her job, but I have to say, that idea was my favorite of the two you presented. You've got yourself a gem there, don't let her go." Jacob again gave me a knowing look and a wink. I had no doubt that he knew there was something going on between Bella and I at this point. "So listen man, Leah and I wanted to invite you and Bella over for a little dinner party next Saturday, you game?" If I had any doubts before that he knew, they were gone now.
"Um…" I had to fight to not spit out the beer currently in my mouth. I was a bit taken aback by his question even though I thought he knew something was going on, hearing him ask us to a couple's dinner at his house caught me completely off guard. "I'd have to check if Bella's free, but that sounds great Jake. Thanks."
"Sure, sure. Leah loves Bella, which is amazing since it usually takes her months to warm up to someone, but with Bella, they hit off right off the bat. Weird." I nodded in agreement. I had never met Leah before so I had no idea what she was like with other people. "So Edward, how long have you two been together?"
"Just about a week actually. We had a bit of a rough start, but everything is great now. Not everyone at the office knows, we've been trying to keep it under wraps."
"Well I noticed it at the meeting on Monday, so you obviously weren't trying too hard." Jake elbowed me and gave a hearty laugh.
"I guess we need to try a little harder if you noticed. Huh, Black?" I teased. Jacob continued to laugh. The evening went on much the same way until the game ended and we all headed out.
A knock on my door brought me out of the memory I was currently stuck on and I looked up to see a beauty before me. Bella was in the doorway wearing white slacks, a bright pink sleeveless shirt that showed off her beautifully toned arms and some blue peep toe shoes. She was a vision as always.
"Hey you. I was just taking off for the day and wanted to say goodbye."
"Are you now? Why are you leaving early today Bella, you have some special plans or something tonight?" I asked her with a smirk.
"Or something." She walked into my office and shut the door behind her before coming over to me. She was standing directly in front of me while I sat in my chair. "I've missed you this week. I feel like we haven't spent any time together at all since Tuesday morning." She stuck out her bottom lip and it was the most adorable thing I think I have ever seen. I wanted to suck on that bottom lip so badly, but if someone walked into my office right now and saw that we'd have some serious problems. Well maybe not serious problems, but I sure as hell don't want to be office gossip.
"I know baby. Me too. In about 5 hours though I'll be picking you up at your house and taking you out to a nice restaurant and then we can go take a nice romantic walk if you'd like. Whatever you want to do, baby. I'm yours." I gave her hand a little kiss as I looked into her mesmerizing brown eyes.
"Mine, huh? I think I like the sound of that." She bent down and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before backing away. "Okay, I gotta get going, I can't miss my appointment to get waxed oh and I have some hot date to get ready for. I'll see you later." I groaned at the thought her getting waxed bare. She waved and was quickly out my door. The day couldn't go by fast enough.
At 5:00 I was shutting down my computer and getting ready to leave. I still had to go to my place, shower and change before I picked Bella up. Thankfully no-one stopped me on my way out and I made it home within 15 minutes. I showered and dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a green button up shirt. Bella once told me she liked it when I wore green because it brought out my eyes, hence the green shirt tonight.
At 6:30 I was pulling out of my parking garage and I was headed to a florist that was on the way to Bella's. I picked up the white lilies that Alice mentioned were Bella's favorite and was finally on my way to Bella's house. I parked the car and got out, remembering to take the flowers with me. I couldn't wait to see her, even though I only saw her a few hours ago. You are so fucking whipped it isn't even funny anymore. It was like my body ached to be near her always. I made it to her door and smoothed out the wrinkles that weren't there on my shirt before knocking on the door. She yelled something I couldn't make out from inside the apartment and a few seconds later Bella opened the door. The sight of her nearly knocked me on my ass. Bella was normally beautiful, but I've mostly just seen her in work clothes or jeans, but this, this was different. She was wearing this cream colored strapless dress that looked like it barely covered her ass. Her hair was down I loose curls and her make-up was just enough to accentuate her natural beauty. She was an angel.
"Holy Mother of God" I mumbled.
"What was that?" She asked me with a smirk on her face. I blinked a few times and shook my head to clear it.
"Um…uh…Geez. I can barely even form a coherent thought with the sight of you in that dress." I told her. Glad that my lust induced fog was suddenly lifted to so I could actually speak to her.
"I'll take that as a compliment." She opened the door wider and stepped aside so I could come in. "Are those for me?" she asked motioning to the flowers.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, you had me stunned and almost forgot about them." I handed her the flowers which she took and brought to her nose to smell. I really wished I had a camera at that moment. She was gorgeous.
"Thank you. These are my favorites. Let me just put them in some water and grab my coat, then we can go." Bella walked into her kitchen and presumably put the flowers in a vase with water before coming back out with her coat on her arm.
"Here, let me help you with that." I took the coat from her and helped her put it on.
"Why thank you Edward. Who knew you could be such a gentleman."
"Yes well that would be Esme's influence. Are you ready to go?"
"Yep, all set." We walked out the door and she closed and locked it behind her. Bella grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers as we went into the elevator. She didn't let go of my hand until we were in front my car. I opened her door for her and once she was seated I went to get into the car myself.
"So where are we going?" Bella asked as I was getting onto the highway.
"Not telling, you'll just have to wait for 30 or so minutes to find out." Bella let out a little hmph and scowled at me, but I just took her hand and kissed it. I was forgiven judging by the smile that crept on her face.
"How was your day today beautiful?" I asked her after a few minutes of silence passed. It's not that the silence was uncomfortable, but I just wanted to hear her voice.
"It was pretty good. Emmett has me working on the campaign for Ray's. Just doing some editing on the proposal and things like that. I can't wait to really sink my teeth into something."
"Emmett's a great guy. I think you'll really enjoy working with him, you just have to get past all the sexual innuendo." I told her with a chuckle.
"Yeah I think Rosalie would kill him if he said anything sexually charged to a woman though, especially me. He hasn't said anything inappropriate to me all week."
"Let me know if he gives you any trouble. I can take care of him just as well as Rose can."
"Yeah, but you can't withhold sex from him like Rose can." Bella laughed.
"I don't even want to think about that." We arrived at the restaurant just then, amazing how time can fly by when I'm with Bella. "Here we are." I get out of the car and hand the valet my keys before going to Bella's door to open it for her. She gives me her hand as I help her out of the car.
"Wow, Waterfront Grill, I've always wanted to try this place." She looked at the building in awe before we stepped into the restaurant. Giving the hostess our name for the reservation she immediately grabbed two menus and led us to our table overlooking the water.
"Your server will be right with you. Enjoy your dinner."
"Edward, this is beautiful. Thank you so much for taking me out tonight." Bella said. "So what's good here?"
"Well I've only been here a couple of times for dinner meetings and both items I've had were outstanding. Let's see, the Stuffed Prawns were good and the Crab Cocktail was good as well."
"Welcome to Waterfront Seafood Grill. My name is James; I'll be your server tonight. Might I interest you in a bottle of wine and an appetizer to start?"
"Yes, James. We'll have a bottle of the Jermann Pinot Grigio." I started. I didn't know what Bella would want for an appetizer so I thought it best to let her choose. "Bella, is there an appetizer that looks good to you?"
Bella was looking at her menu rather intently and I wasn't sure she even heard me, but then she spoke. "The Wicked Shrimp looks good. Do you like things spicy Edward?" Her eyes never leaving mine as she spoke. I could tell that James was trying to hide his chuckle, and so was I.
"The hotter the better Bella." I replied with a wink in her direction.
"We'll have the Wicked Shrimp then James. Thank you."
"That'll be right up. I'll give you a few more minutes to look over the menu for entrees." James left us to go put in our order and I couldn't take my eyes off of Bella as she took a sip of water.
"What are you going to have for dinner?" Bella asked me, breaking me out of my ogling.
"I'm going to get the Grilled Seafood Brochette, what about you?"
"Mmmm, that does look good. I was actually thinking about that or the Grilled Lamb Chops." She replied, her eyes still on the menu.
"How about this, I'll share my meal if I can have a bite of yours, that way you can taste both." I suggested.
"Why Mr. Cullen, you are a genius." Bella put her menu down and took another sip of water just as James returned with our wine. He uncorked it and poured a small glass for myself to taste. It was delicious. He poured us both glasses and took our dinner orders.
"So, Edward, tell me something I don't know about you." Bella asked. It was a good start to a very informative and lengthy conversation. Before we knew it our dinner plates were being cleared and James was offering us the dessert menu. I ordered the Emerald City Volcano. It's what this place was known for. After sunset they fire it up tableside and it's really good.
"Oh my god, Edward, this is so good. I am so full, but I just can't put my spoon down." I laughed at her admission. Most women would order a salad for dinner and hardly touch it, never mind actually eat a meal and dessert, admit they are full and continue eating. Dinner was absolutely amazing, conversation flowed easily and I learned more about Bella and she about me than I ever thought possible. I was falling in love with her and it's only been a week. I wondered how long it was going to take me to admit it to her out loud.
After dinner we took a stroll along the boardwalk, it was a little chilly and I worried Bella would get cold so we ended up leaving half an hour later. We talked a little more on the drive home and I mentioned Jacob's invitation for dinner next Saturday and Bella readily agreed. Leah had already mentioned it to her earlier in the week. I dropped Bella off at her place, but decided to decline her offer to come in. Of course we've had sex more times than I can count at this point, but this was technically our first date and I didn't want Bella to think that all I really wanted from her was phenomenal sex. I was determined to take my time with her and have a relationship that would hopefully lead to something more.
Hope you all liked the new chapter. Review, review, review. I'll send you a snip from the next chapter if you do. Hey, what can I say, I'm all about the bribery.
I promise that the next chapter won't take as long to get out, but I will recommend some other fics for you, just 'cause they are awesome…
