So sorry that it's taken me so long to update, I suck, I know. Hopefully I can update more regularly. I am happy to be back to writing this story. Singing Softly has been taking over my brain, making this one go on the backburner, but I promise to try to update more regularly from this point forward. This chapter is going to be a little shorter than other ones, but it just felt like a good stopping point.

Stephenie Meyer is a genius and came up with all things Twilight related and I love that I get to play with her characters.


Sitting in Bella's apartment waiting for everyone to get here to pack I took note of everything that needed to be done. The woman had literally not packed a damn thing. Bella had just ordered the pizzas and we picked up the beer from the grocery store on the way here, which was now sitting in her fridge.

"You seriously haven't packed a thing have you baby?" I asked her teasingly. She had already told me that she hadn't packed a thing, but to actually see that absolutely nothing was packed and ready to move was another thing entirely.

"Nope." She sang and popped the "p". "You still love me, don't you?"

"Of course I do silly girl. How could I not? I mean look at that ass of yours, I just want to bite it and spank it and kiss it. How could anyone not love a woman with an ass like that?" I was getting hard just thinking about all the things I wanted to do to that ass of hers. We still had a few minutes; I bet I could just bend her over the couch and have my way with her before anyone showed up.

"Well I'm glad to hear that my ass is the only reason you love me. I see how it is now." She fake huffed. "I guess I just need to find some other hot guys to love the rest of me."

I growled, yep, that's right, growled. "Don't you dare!" I got up and stalked over to her. "You. Are. Mine. Every inch of you, MINE!"

"I love it when you get possessive sweet cheeks." I kissed her then, not wanting to hear anything but moans and her screaming my name coming from that beautiful mouth of hers. "Oh God Edward." She groaned as I attacked her neck and tried to furiously rid her of her clothes.

"That's right baby. You'll be screaming my name soon enough." I finally rid her of her pants and had her bent over the side of the couch ready to pound into her. Her ninja like hands had moved my pants and boxers around my knees so I was ready. With one quick hard thrust from behind I was inside of her tight wet heat. "Jesus Bella, you're so fucking wet."

"All for you sweet cheeks. Ugh, so fucking good baby, go harder." She wanted harder I would go harder, and I did. My hands were on either side of her hips controlling her movements and when I looked down I saw where we were joined and let me tell you that it's one sight that will be burned into my head for the rest of my damn life. It's fucking beautiful watching my cock slide in and out of her pussy. Her luscious ass was calling to me, begging me for my touch, so I moved my right hand and gave it a little smack. Bella whimpered in response, I wasn't sure if it was from pleasure or pain. "Do it again." She demanded with a whoosh of breath, so I did it again, only a little harder. "OH GOD, SO GOOD!" She yelled out.

I noticed the place I spanked her had a pink tinge to it and I felt the need to soothe her, so I rubbed my hand in the spot, when she moaned again and moved her ass more towards my hand I got the hint and spanked her again, only in a different spot. I could feel the tension in my abs starting and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold out much longer and I needed Bella to come with me, with the hand that was doing the spanking I reached around and found her bundle of nerves and made tight circles over her. Her moans got louder and movements more erratic as I pounded away inside of her. The tension inside of me was building at a frantic pace, I pinched her clit and that sent her over the edge. Her walls came down constricting my cock and that's when I found my own release. It was loud in her apartment with our screaming the others name and it seemed to last forever, but somehow not long enough.

I collapsed on top of her as we slowed our breathing down.

"Edward….can't…breathe…baby."

"Oh, sorry." I got off her and pulled my pants back up; she pulled her shirt back on and searched for her pants and underwear. The knock at the door hurried us along. Bella opened the sliding glass door so it "Doesn't smell like sex in here" and I went to open the front door. It was Emmett and Rose and they brought a few bottles of wine for the girls. "You do realize that we have work to do here right? It's not actually a party Emmett."

"Yeah, yeah. That didn't stop you two from fucking like jackrabbits a minute ago, now did it?" I heard an "Oh God", come from Bella who was behind me, no doubt as red as a tomato at this point. "Yeah I heard you yell that out a few times. Did we give you two enough time to finish and get presentable or do you need another minute?"

"Nah, we're good." I said with a huge smile. That's right people, I AM THE MAN! I got my girl off and she was screaming so loud they heard it outside. I did an internal fist pump because of it.

"Good. Now let's get to work." Emmett stopped and looked around the still full apartment, and then at Bella, who was still bright red. "Damn girl, you didn't pack a thing did you?"

"Shut up Em!" Rose walked up and smacked him on the back of his head. She placed the wine in the kitchen then got to work. Rose and Bella started taping boxes together in the kitchen so they could start working in there while Emmett and I boxed stuff up in the living room. Jasper and Alice arrived a few minutes later with the stack of pizzas we had ordered, I guess they ran into the delivery guy on their way in. We stopped to eat while the pizzas were still hot and had a couple of beers each.

"We might have to do this for my apartment in a couple of weeks." Alice said. We all agreed to help if she needed it, but knowing Alice she'd want to do it all herself, she was kind of a control freak.

"How's the house coming along, did you guys close escrow yet Jazz?" I asked my brother.

"One more week and we'll be closed then we can start our renovations. I can't even believe we got such a good deal on this house. Ali wants to do a bunch of updating; the kitchen especially needs to be remodeled, it's something out of the 1950's man. We've got a contractor coming by after we close so he can give us a quote, Alice has big ideas for this place." Jazz groaned a little, probably thinking of all the things Alice wanted to do and how much it was going to cost him.

With the pizza finished off, yep, all four of them, Emmett ate a whole pizza by himself, we got back to packing up the apartment. Occasionally I would hear the girls in the kitchen giggling, but that's all we heard, to be honest it made me wonder what they were giggling at in there.

After the third round of giggles Emmet had apparently had enough. "I'm going in, cover me." Emmett quietly snuck over to the kitchen area; surprisingly he could be quite stealthy, considering how big he is. Jasper and I watched, but continued packing, anxiously awaiting Emmett's return with intel.

"EMMETT!" All three of the girls screamed and started throwing things at him as he ran away laughing. "If you do that again you're cut off!" Rosalie screamed.

"Ah, babe, you know I was just playing."

"Mark my words Emmett Cullen, you ever say or do that again and you and your hand will become best friends." Rose sounded menacing and by the look on Emmett's face she meant every word. When she was out of sight Jasper and I turned on him to find out what happened.

"Well I snuck up on them and eavesdropped for a minute and let me you man." He shook his head, stifling a laugh. "They say we're bad, you should have heard the shit coming out of those girls' mouths, they are a hundred times worse then we could ever be."

"What did they say?" Jasper was obviously excited by the prospect of Alice talking dirty with Rose and Bella and I had to admit I was too, it was fucking hot.

"Well Rose was talking about blowjobs." He cut off at that point, looking far off; I didn't need to ask what he was thinking about. Jasper and I yelled his name to snap him out of it. "Sorry, that girl knows how to use that dirty mouth, that's all I'm saying. Anyway then Bella was talking about how she likes to swivel her hips when she's riding you and all about the sounds you make when she does it, which caused a round of giggling. I gotta say man, if Bella's imitation of you during sex is right; you sound like a whale during mating season."

"Fuck off Em, like you sound any better." I snapped.

"How would you know?" I gave him a pointed look. I had heard him going at it plenty of times in high school and a few times after that when I dropped by his house. If I sounded like a whale, he sounded like a fucking moose.

"Oh, right. Anyway, Ali." He shook his head; his cheeks got a pink tint to them. Never had I EVER seen Emmett blush before. This had to be good.

"What?" Jasper groaned.

"She is the dirtiest out of all of them, which is surprising as hell. I thought for sure out of all of them Rose would be the dirtiest. You've got a little firecracker on your hands there man."

"I know." Jasper nodded and smiled appreciatively.

"So what did she say?" I asked, I mean if they heard all about my sex sounds and Rose giving tips on the perfect blow job, I needed to hear what Alice had to say.

"She said that she has let Jasper here go in the back door while she had a vibrator in her pussy, said it made both of them cum harder than they ever had before. She also said that you like to wear nothing but cowboy boots and your Stetson when you two go at it. I didn't even know you owned a Stetson Jasper?" Jasper had a huge shit eating grin on his face. It was far more information then I needed in regards to my brother's sex lives, but hey at least we were all equal in our embarrassment here.

"I like to pretend to be a cowboy sometimes. You know how much I loved our trip out to Texas that summer. I swear to you if the whole family wasn't here in Seattle I would move without a second thought."

The giggles continued in the kitchen as we packed the living room. Bella really did have a lot of shit, it's a good thing we got a big house otherwise I wasn't sure how we'd fit all her stuff and all of mine too into one space. When the next round of giggles erupted from the girls I had had enough. I snuck up to the kitchen, quietly as I could manage, but I stubbed my toe on a very large, very heavy box and cursed loudly. Emmett and Jasper were laughing their asses off and the girls came running out. Bella was at my side in an instant checking to make sure I was okay.

"What happened baby? Are you alright?" Bella cooed in my ear, her eyes darting to me foot being held in my hands, I was slumped against the offending box trying to sooth the searing pain in my toe.

"Edward stubbed his toe on that box." Jasper informed them between his fits of laughter. His explanation set Emmett off again, but he soon quieted down when Rose shot him a death glare. That'll show him.

"Oh you poor baby. Let me see." Bella took off my shoe, then my sock and inspected my foot. The pain had somewhat subsided but I was enjoying being fussed over so I played it up a little. When she touched my little toe I winced. "I'll go get you some ice. Stay right there." She was back with some ice and a paper towel in no time. "Here." Before placing the ice pack on my foot she kissed my injured toe.

"Gross!" Emmett wailed.

"Shut up Emmett, I know for a fact that you have kissed worse than a toe before." Emmett's face went white with Bella's words, it seemed she had hit the mark and she smirked before putting her attention back to me. "Here baby. Stay off that foot for a little while and use this to keep the swelling down." She kissed me on the lips and went back to the kitchen, Alice and Rose followed after her.

"What a fucking pussy." I snapped my head to look at Emmett, giving him a look that could have struck him down if dirty looks had such a power. "Ow, I hurt my toe. Waaa waaaa waaaa. I'm a big giant baby." He continued.

"EMMETT DANIEL CULLEN STOP MAKING FUN OF YOUR BROTHER! Remember what I said earlier." Rose yelled from the kitchen. I snickered; he was so not getting any tonight.

"Fuck you Edward." He snapped.

"You started it bro. Even I'm not dense enough to start shit with the girls around." Jasper, like me, knew when to keep his mouth shut.

The apartment was packed and ready for the movers by dinner time and we were all exhausted.

"Thanks for coming over everyone; I couldn't have finished this without each and every one of you." Bella had put the last of the trash in the very last trash bag, Emmett offered to take it to the trash bin, well Rose actually forced him to offer, but all I cared about was I didn't have to do it.

"You're welcome Bella." Rose said, giving her friend a big hug.

"Now how about we eat, I'm starved." Emmett came in rubbing his hands together like he was looking at a buffet.

"You're always starved."

"Usually baby, I'm just starved for you." He wiggled his eyebrows and Rose smiled, and then promptly smacked him on the back of his gigantic head. "OW baby. What the hell was that for?"

"Oh I don't know, I'm sure I'll think of something." We all laughed, well all of us except for Emmett, he was pouting and rubbing the back of his head.

Bella and I decided to treat everyone to dinner, but we all needed to go home and shower first. We were meeting in an hour at the local Irish Pub; beers, darts and good food were in order.

"I'm so beating your ass at darts tonight little brother." Emmett all but howled as he headed into the pub. Every single person in the bar turned to look at him; he waved like he was the fucking beauty queen in his own parade greeting his fans.

"Bet you fifty bucks that I kick your ass Emmett." I told him cockily.

"You're on Eddie. Bring it." Emmett and I went directly for the dart board.

Thirty minutes later I had kicked his ass and he was pouting like a fucking toddler.

"Dude, you fucking cheated!"

"How did I cheat Em? I'm just a better player then you are. I can't help it if you suck balls at darts." Jasper just about had his beer come out of his nose because he was laughing so hard. The fact of the matter is I did cheat, but no way was I telling him that. Jasper was in on it, hence the laughing.

"Hmph! I don't know but I will figure it out and I will make you pay Edward."

"Don't be a sore loser Emmett. Edward beat you, deal with it ya big cry baby." Alice admonished.

Back at the table Emmett forked over the fifty bucks he owed me and drank the rest of his beer.

The rest of dinner passed with conversation, lots of food and way too many beers. Bella hadn't drunk that much so she drove us back home. Seemed like the girls were playing DD tonight so we could all get home safely.

"I love you." I slurred, I was slumped over in the passenger seat drunk off my ass and being grabby. Bella slapped my hand away from her breast too many times to count at this point. I think she was getting annoyed with me. I tried to be good, really I did, but have you seen the tits on my girl? They're fucking phenomenal.

"Love you too sweet cheeks."

"URGH, can you please come up with another nickname? Please baby?" I begged her. My hand had found its way back to her tits.

"No and will you please stop doing that, I'm trying to drive and it's very distracting." Well now, it seems like she isn't annoyed at me at all. She's turned on. Hell YEAH! I can work with that.

I maneuvered myself towards her, more like flopped myself towards her so I could whisper in her ear. "You like that, do you baby?"

"Edward, damn it. Stop, please. I really need to concentrate on the road." I huffed a "fine", slumped back into my seat and pouted. "Don't pout. What are you five?"

"Baby, I just wanted to give you some lovin." I grabbed my cock and shook it at her so she knew exactly what kind of lovin I was referring to. She loves my cock.

"You're impossible." That was the last thing she said to me the entire way home, at least I thought it was, turns out I fell asleep. "Edward, wake up sweet cheeks. We're home baby."

"Hmm? What happened?"

"You fell asleep. Come on we're home. Let's get you in bed." She helped me out of the car and onto the building; I was stumbling from the drinking and my little nap in the car. I was a damn mess and would be paying for this tomorrow. At least my foot didn't hurt anymore. HA!

The next morning the light pouring through our room was so bright it made me want to die. I groaned and rolled over, reaching for a pillow to cover my eyes from the offending light.

"Here baby. Take these and drink." I hadn't heard Bella come in, which was strange since it seemed like even the slightest noise was like a woodpecker pounding away on my head.

I croaked out a "thanks", took the pills and drank the entire glass of water before flopping back down on the bed.

"I'm going to let you rest a little more. I'll be in the living room if you need anything, okay." I grunted my response then fell back asleep.

I woke up some time later feeling a little better, but in desperate need of the bathroom and coffee, in that exact order.

When I went out into the living room I found Bella asleep on the couch with the TV on. She looked cold as she laid there curled up in the fetal position, so I grabbed the blanket lying next to the sofa and covered her with it and turned off the TV. She sighed in contentment and snuggled into the warmth of the blanket. With a smile on my face I set off into the kitchen to grab some coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in there that Bella had already made a fresh pot and there was plenty left for me.

My stomach grumbled after my first cup of coffee so I decided to make something to eat. In searching through the refrigerator I decided on a sandwich, and being the nice guy that I am I made one for Bella too, you know in case she woke up, which of course she did. I felt her arms wrap around me and her lips press against my bare back.

"Hey sweetcheeks. What ya got there?" Her voice sounded groggy from just waking up. If I weren't so damn hung over I'd pick her tight ass up and drag her to bed to have my way with her.

"I made us something to eat. Have a seat and I'll bring it out." She did as I requested as I finished up making our lunch. I piled the sandwiches, a bag of chips and a couple bottles of water onto a tray and walked out to the living room where Bella was seated on the sofa, her legs tucked underneath her. She was looking for something to watch on TV and settled on The Breakfast Club once I was seated beside her.

"Thanks for making lunch sweet cheeks. You're the best." She kissed my cheek and grabbed her sandwich, taking a huge bite, I'm talking an Emmett sized bite, I think her jaw may have unghinged. If only I had my camera, because no-one would ever believe that my dainty sweet Bella would take such a monstrous bite. I laughed at her chipmunk cheeks as she chewed, or tried to chew the food in her mouth.

"Hungry?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Vewwy. Mmm goof." This just made me laugh more, but it made my head hurt so I stopped abruptly. "You okay baby?" Bella asked after she had chewed and swallowed her food.

"Yeah, just hung over. I'll be better once I eat." We sat back and watched the movie as we ate our lunch. With the food gone we both settled into each other on the couch. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, or it was until the damn phone rang. Bella offered to get it and I let her, telling her I'd be back in a minute, I really had to pee.

When I came back out she didn't look happy, in fact she looked angry. I wondered who called and put her in that mood and why.

"Bella. What's the matter baby?"

"Tanya." She seethed as she spoke through gritted teeth. "Apparently she got off."

"WHAT! Who called and told you this?"

"Jasper just called." Her anger hadn't ebbed and as for me, yeah I was pissed. How could that psycho get off after everything she did? "He said we were all supposed to meet at your parent's house in an hour and a half." That left us a little over half an hour to get ready. "I need a shower." Bella said then she took off towards the bathroom. I was so angry I wasn't even sure what to do while I waited. I decided to call Emmett. Rose answered the phone with an angry huff and said Emmett was in the shower getting ready to go.

"I'm going to rip that woman limb from bloody limb then beat her to death with those limbs. I cannot believe this! How could she get off Edward? I don't understand."

"I don't know Rose. I don't get it either. I guess we'll find out when we get to my parent's place." The shower had just turned off, which meant it was now my turn. "Okay, sounds like Bella's out of the shower so I need to get going. We'll see you in a bit."

"Yeah, okay. Bye Edward."

The drive to my parents was long as my mind raced with reasons as to how that psycho bitch Tanya managed to get out of jail after everything she did. Bella was in her seat stewing, I swear if smoke could come out of someone's ears then surely it would be billowing out of hers. In a need to keep us both calm I placed my right hand on her knee and she let out a sigh, looking in her eyes I could tell that my touch did in fact calm her a bit, but she was still pissed, I was to, it was hard not to be.

We arrived at the house a little early thanks to my lead foot and as soon as the car had stopped Bella and I both got out as quickly as we could, only to find each other in front of the car so we could walk up together hand in hand. We walked right into the house and we could hear the family lawyer talking from somewhere in the house, most likely the living room. Jasper's voice came next and when we rounded the corner, sure enough there was my mom, dad, Jasper, Alice and Mr. Jenks, the family lawyer.

"Edward, Bella. Thank god you're here." My mother said as she made her way to us to give us each a motherly hug. "We're still waiting on Emmett and Rose.."

"Not anymore you're not. So what the hell is going on?" Emmett voice boomed from behind us. The girls are rushed to each other's side giving hugs before taking a seat. I sat down next to Bella, grasping her hand and waited.

Mr. Jenks stood from his sit so that he could address everyone. "Well it seems that the recording the prosecutors have from your conversation with Tanya has vanished and without that tape their case is sunk. The good news is that the case was put on hold until further evidence could be found or the missing evidence reappears."

"Who could have taken it though?" My father asked.

"We aren't sure. The DA is reviewing the security tapes from the evidence locker to find out who could have done this. They think it was probably somebody from the inside, which brings me to why I'm here. Do any of you know if Tanya had any connections inside the Seattle PD that could have helped her get rid of the tape?"

We all shook our heads in the negative. None of us had really taken that much time to talk to Tanya since she started working for us.

"WAIT!" Bella shouted. "I did talk to her when I was training her and I think I remember her mentioning that she had a cousin that worked at the Seattle PD. I don't know what his job is, but I think his name is Daniel."

"Did she mention a last name Bella?" Jenks asked.

"I don't think she did, no. I'm sorry."

"No, this gives us something to go on. Please don't be sorry. I'll call the DA and give him this information as soon as I leave and we'll go from there." Jenks wrote down the information on a pad of paper and started collecting his things. "Thank you Esme, Carlisle for the coffee. I'll let you know if we find out anything else. In the meantime I want you all to be extra aware of your surroundings. With Tanya out of jail who knows what she'll do." Emmett showed him out while the rest of us just sat there stunned by the current events that brought us all here.

"Well this sucks." Alice said, breaking the silence.

"It really does. So what are we going to do?" Jasper always was the one with the plan, it made sense that he'd come up with the question of what we were going to do first and I'm sure he already had an idea. My father however was the first to speak up.

"Your mother and I will keep a low profile, if we need to go somewhere, we'll have the driver with us at all times. As for the rest of you I suggest you try to keep a low profile as well. Edward and Bella, I'm most concerned with you two, but you will be moving in a week and as far as we know she doesn't know where or even that you're moving. With a cousin working for the police though who knows how long that will last. I can get some protection for you two if you'd feel more comfortable with that."

"That won't be necessary Carlisle. I think Edward and I can manage to keep an eye out now that we know that there's something to look for." I knew Bella wasn't going to want security for us, but I was thinking it wasn't such a bad idea, especially for her. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost her.

"Actually baby, I think it might be a good idea. Tanya's crazy and like Jenks said who knows what she's capable of doing." I interjected, not wanting to let go of my father's idea.

"I agree with Edward. You two are more at risk than anyone since she has this insane idea of her and Edward being together and I don't think she's going to take too kindly to the idea that he's with you Bella." Jasper added. I could see the wheels turning in Bella's head as she thought about what everyone said. I just hoped she come to the same conclusion as the rest of us.

Bella sighed and I knew that sound, it was a sigh of defeat, she was going to give in. "Fine." She whispered. I hugged her tightly to me whispering "I love you" and "thank you baby" and "I can't lose you" to her. Her replies were simply nods so that I knew she heard me.

"Great. I'll call Jenks in the morning. In the meantime I think you should all stay here for the night. It's late and there's a storm coming, I don't feel comfortable with any of you driving on those roads. I don't want any arguments either." With that my father was out of the living room, probably to go into his office to make some calls, no doubt to Jenks to set up security detail even though he said he'd do it tomorrow. He was worried and that usually made him act quickly, especially when his kids were involved.

"I'll go get everyone some things to sleep in. Alice, Rose, Bella, would you mind helping me?" The girls all got up, leaving me alone with my brothers as they helped my mother.

"Are you okay little brother?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just can 't believe this is happening." I replied to Jasper, my elbows were sitting on my knees and my head in my hands. I couldn't help but wonder how things got so messed up. I wanted nothing more than to just move into our new house with Bella and move on with our lives. I wished for probably the millionth time since all this shit started happening that we had never met or hired Tanya.

"I know. Who would have thought that evidence would just disappear like that? I mean it's a police station for Christ's sake, you'd think they'd have better security." Emmett said and I had to agree, what the hell was going on down there.

I was tired and ready for bed by the time Bella came back with a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt, so I led her back up to my room where we'd be spending the night. Bella did her nightly routine of brushing her teeth and washing her face as well as changing into the nightgown that my mother loaned her. "Baby, can you take that off? The sight of you in something of my mother's makes me want to puke, it's just….wrong."

Bella giggled, but complied anyway without argument, which I was grateful for. I did not want to see my sexy girlfriend in a nightgown that my mother wore to bed. Gross! "You're such a baby." She told me as she slid into bed next to me.

"What? You're sexy as hell and I want you all the time but seriously, you in something that my mother sleeps in is all sorts of wrong." I shivered, still grossed out.

"Come on Rosie, I don't want to see that!" We heard Emmett yell on the other side of the door. I got up to see what the problem was.

"What the hell are you yelling about Emmett?"

"Rose is wearing mom's nightgown and it gives me the heebeegeebees and she refuses to take the fucking thing off." See, Emmett understood. Bella laughed behind me. "It's not fucking funny Bella. I'm going to need therapy for years to come." Bella just laughed harder, Emmett flipped her off, not that she could see it behind the door. No way my girl was going to stand in the doorway in nothing but a pair of lacy boy shorts in front of any man, much less my own brother.

"Relax, she's just laughing because I had the same thought and made her take the fucking thing off." I told him.

"SEE ROSE, BELLA DID IT FOR EDWARD!" He yelled in the direction of his old room.

"Yeah, well I'm not doing it. There is no way in hell I am sleeping naked in your parent's house." Rose yelled back.

"Well you should have worn underwear then woman! Wait, what the hell am I saying. Rosie, please baby, I'm begging you." I shut the door at that point, not wanting to hear any more of that conversation.

"Oh my god, you guys are ridiculous!" Bella was still laughing, but lying on the bed so I decided to give her something to laugh about. I lunged for her, hovering over her and with one hand held down her arms, my legs holding down the rest of her and my free hand tickling her relentlessly. "Ed…wa….rrrd. Holy….GET OFF ME!" She continued to laugh and writhe beneath me; I didn't let up on my assault of her.

"Uh uh little girl. You think it's funny that my brother and I don't want our girls sleeping in our mother's clothes, well I'm telling you it's not. Now say it."

She was laughing so hard she was gasping for air, but I didn't let up, not until she said it.

"No. Stop. Please." Her legs flailed as her body twisted trying to get away from me. There was a pounding at the door, but I ignored it.

"STOP FUCKING IN THERE!" Emmett's voice rang out again behind the door.

"Shut up Emmett." I yelled back at him.

"Okay, okay. You're not ridiculous." I stopped the tickling then, but didn't move to get off her. Once she was settled down I kissed her sweet lips. "I love you."

"As I love you." I kissed her again and she deepened it without any prodding on my part. "Mmm Bella, you taste so good."

"Edward. Make love to me." She whispered in my ear and really who am I to deny such a request so that's what I did. We made slow sensual love and found our release at the same time, quietly, because hey, we are in my parent's house after all.

The next morning I slipped out of bed as quietly as possible to so to not wake up my sleeping beauty, got dressed and went downstairs.

"Morning Edward. Did you sleep well?" My mom winked at me over her coffee mug. Ah hell, how does she know? She can't possibly know.

"Yes mother, I slept great. Thanks for asking." I answered, trying like hell not to give anything away. We were really quiet, there's no possible way she heard us from the other side of the house. Emmett maybe, since his room was right next to mine, but he had no right to say shit to me because we heard him and Rose. I was thankful that they did it after Bella and I were done, because the sounds they were making would have made me go limp.

"Uh huh." She got started on breakfast and thankfully said nothing else about our night time activities.

"Can I help with anything mom?" I'm a suck up, so what. There's a reason I'm my mom's favorite.

"Sure sweetie. Can you cut up some fruit please?" I nodded and started on my directed task. After a full bowl of fruit was cut up into pieces I cleaned up my mess and everyone else started filtering down.

"Morning." Emmett said as he shuffled in. He went straight for the coffee, grabbing two mugs, I assumed one was for Rose since she was right behind him. He poured the coffee, filled them both with cream and put sugar in one, then handed one to Rose, but not before he gave her a peck on the lips.

"Thanks monkey man." Rose said sweetly, it was kind of disgusting.

"Hey sweet cheeks. I missed you this morning." Bella wrapped her arms around me, but not so tightly that I couldn't turn around in her grasp and I did so I could kiss her good morning.

"I wanted to let you sleep. Besides it gave me time to help out my mom with breakfast." I pulled a strawberry from the bowl and held it to her mouth. "Open up." Bella opened her mouth and then her tongue swirled around the sweet fruit before taking it and my fingers into her mouth. I held back a groan since my entire family was in the kitchen with us, but the look in her eyes told me that she knew exactly what she was doing to me. Evil temptress. With a seductive smile she pulled back, releasing my fingers from her hot mouth. I leaned down to whisper in her ear, making sure I was quiet so only she could hear me. "You're a very naughty girl Bella and you will pay for that when we get back home." Bella just giggled, kissed my neck and went over to her friends.

"Have a nice night big brother?" The plan was to get to Emmett before he could get to me as far as the teasing went. This tactic used to work when we were kids but I hadn't used it in a while.

"About as good as you did little brother." He replied and thankfully left it at that. Crisis averted.

"Breakfast's ready. Everyone help themselves." My mom had just plated the eggs, bacon and home fries. God I love my mother's cooking. We all dug in like it was our last meal; there were no other sounds than forks clinking on the plates, chewing and the occasional words of thanks to my mother for cooking. Not surprisingly Emmett was done first and went in for seconds, just as he was about to sit back down the doorbell rang, and rang, and rang. Whoever was here was fucking persistent and rude. Who rings the damn doorbell that many times?

"I guess I'll get that." Emmett placed his plate down and went for the door. The rest of us talked about how things were going determined to stay away from the topic of Tanya.

"Well looky here. The whole Cullen family all gathered in one place. How lucky for me." That voice had every one of us gasp and turn around to focus on the person that had just come in. It was Tanya and she had a gun held to Emmett's head and she had a friend with an even bigger gun. Well shit, my day just went from bad to worse.


A/N: I promise I won't keep you waiting for so long for the next chapter, especially with a cliffy like that. Reviews will get me to write faster. (Wink, wink)
