Chapter 22

EPOV

I have a feeling that this is going to be a night to remember; My family is famous for throwing these parties but generally I avoid them at all costs.

It was never easy being the outcast. My siblings very easily found their other halves while I was certain that I was meant to go through this life alone.

That was until I met Bella, the reason for my existence. I was not lying when I said that she is my life now.

I can't wait to see her tonight, when she told me her idea for our costumes, I was thrilled; first of all that meant that I wasn't going to have to dress up as some cheesy cartoon character or superhero but also I knew that she would look stunning.

After I was finished getting ready I went downstairs to collect a few things that we would need for our little "after party".

I was going to ask her not to have alcohol at the party tonight, I didn't want it to get back to Charlie that my family let her drink, but I didn't want to deny her either, so I grabbed a bottle of champagne and an ice bucket along with a couple of crystal flutes and took them back to my room. I had scattered candles on every surface of my room.

I wanted tonight to be special; since that first night that I stayed in her room, we had been careful not to let things go too far for fear of Charlie discovering us. That didn't mean that we hadn't been driving each other crazy though and I could tell that we were both feeling the frustration.

Somehow one night we began talking about sex and discussing things that we would both like to try.

Bella continued to surprise me; The conversation started pretty tamely with me telling her that I wanted to take her from behind, nothing scary there, just different; she responded with she wanted me to tie her hands to the bed frame and for her to be totally at my mercy.

Did I mention how much I love this girl, the thought of doing that was a complete turn on but the thought that the trusted me that much made me fall even deeper.

I knew that tonight I planned to knock a few things off of both our lists and I couldn't wait.

But wait I will , I knew that if I sat there any longer lost in these thoughts neither of us would make an appearance, so I decided to go downstairs and see if the DJ needed any help or greet the guests.

Emmett and Jazz were already down there and waiting for the girls also. Mom and dad were looking at the buffet tables making sure that everything was just so; The bartender was ready and waiting and pretty soon the guests started trickling in.

Most of the guests were friends of my parents who were predictably dressed as a doctor and nurse.

I was beginning to wonder if the girls were ever coming down and it looked like Emmett and Jasper were thinking the same thing.

Finally after about a half an hour while I was greeting more guests, I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I turned to face her and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I mean Bella is always beautiful, but tonight she took my breath away.

I was stunned speechless and by the way that she was standing there appraising my appearance I gathered she liked what she was seeing also.

Finally mom came up to us, snapping us out of our own world.

"Oh, look at you both" She said while hugging us both, "You two are stunning tonight."

All of a sudden I didn't want to share her, it was taking everything that I had not to pick her up and carry her up to my room to lock the rest of the world away.

A few minutes later we were interrupted by a couple of kids that I had never met before.

"Bells, look at you" This massive guy dressed in a football uniform came barreling through and picked Bella up and spun her around. "Mine" I wanted to say.

"Hey Jake, you look great" My angel said while giggling.

"Jacob Black, this is Edward Cullen" "Edward this is my friend Jake."

I held out my hand to shake his and told him that it was nice to meet him.

"So you're the lucky guy that stole her heart huh?" Jake asked

"Thankfully, yes." I admitted.

"I'm really happy for you both."

"Hey Jake, where's Nessie?" Bella asked.

"Uh, when we walked in the door she was assaulted by some girl dressed as Alice in Wonderland, who insisted that she follow her because she had the perfect accessory for her cheerleader costume." Jake laughed.

"Alice" Bella and I said in unison

"That would be my sister" I said apologetically.

Shortly after Nessie joined us, Bella and I showed them the room where they would be sleeping or whatever that night. I knew that I was going to try to make a break from the party as early as possible.

I was wondering if we had made enough of an appearance already, but I knew better.

We were then met by a couple of vampires that I remembered as Bella's friends Angela and Ben.

I had to say that this party was a great success, it seemed that everyone was having a great time.

Bella and I, were enjoying time with her friends when we were joined by my siblings and their dates. It was really nice how we were able to fit into such a comfortable group. I liked them all immediately.

Even if I hadn't I would have made an effort; these people were there to protect my girl and that's what was important to me.

We were all seated watching Emmett and Jacob having a contest to see which one could out eat the other. It was hilarious in a disturbing kind of way.

"I swear to God Emmett, if you get sick tonight, I'm cutting your ass off for a month." Rosalie threatened.

Nessie looked at Jake as if to say the same thing.

"But baby" Emmett whined, "I've almost got him, and I can't let him outdo me in my own home, now can I?"

We were all cracking up at them when I noticed that Bella had become very quiet. When I looked at her, she seemed angry, no she was furious.

"Bella, baby, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"What in the hell are they doing here?" She asked through clenched teeth.

It was then that I noticed four people that I didn't recognize approaching us.

"Oh fuck no they're not." Rosalie spat.

"Who are they?" I think that I had an idea considering Bella's sudden change of mood.

"Edward, this is Jessica, Lauren, Mike and Tyler." Bella told me.

I immediately stood up, followed quickly by Emmett, Jasper and Jacob.

I'm not sure if they were with me for reinforcement or to keep me from ripping these assholes fucking heads off of their shoulders.

Part of me didn't want to make a scene because this was my parent's party and I didn't want to embarrass them in front of their friends, the other part of me wanted to escort the four of them out of the house bleeding profusely. I had never hit a girl in my life and I wouldn't start tonight, but I was positive that Rosalie would handle them for me.

Our girls were standing with us now, and I pushed Bella protectively behind me.

"Bella," Jessica said with her speech slurring.

Just great, they're drunk.

"So I see fucking a Cullen has its' privileges" Lauren said.

I saw Bella step forward and I was positive that she was going to hit the girl, Fortunately Angela and Nessie were able to grab her and pull her back.

"So Edward, when you get tired of playing with little girls, give me a call, I'll show you what it's like to be with a real woman." Jessica offered.

"Sure, I'll do just that, what's your hourly rate again?" I asked.

I could tell that Rose was itching for a fight, and to avoid bloodshed I had to get them out of here.

"This is a private party, and I don't believe that any of you were invited." I said hoping that at least one of them isn't dense enough to get the point.

"But Eddie" Lauren purred. "We just want to help you have a good time." She then began rubbing her hands up my chest. Bella snapped.

Thankfully Jake caught her before she had the chance to do anything that she would regret later and probably ruin our night also.

I pushed her hands off of me and said "either the four of you leave now or I will call Chief Swan, he's on duty tonight, and file trespassing charges."

"I'm sure after the little stunt that you pulled on face book, he would love nothing more than to come remove you from the property."

"Also, if you don't stop harassing Bella, I will let Rosalie loose on you."

Both of the girls turned bleach white at that thought.

"Ok we're leaving, but when you get tired of her, I may not still be waiting."

Seriously she considered that a threat?

"I'll take my chances."

With that the four tucked tail and left.

Finally I let out the breath that I hadn't been aware that I had been holding and turned to face Bella.

"Come here sweet girl" I said pulling her into my arms.

She was so mad she was shaking, I then changed my mind about the no alcohol rule.

"I'll be right back" I said, asking the others to stay with her.

I walked up to the bar and told the bartender that I would be fixing this one; he quickly stepped away saying "Dude, I know those bitches they are bad news." I told him that I couldn't agree more.

Once I had made my way across the room, I noticed that Alice wasn't there.

I sat down, handed Bella her drink and wrapped her in my arms, hoping to sooth her nerves.

A few minutes later Alice returned and I suggested that we all go down to the family room to hang out for a while. Everyone agreed and we picked up our drinks and left the party.

"Where did you go Alice?" I asked.

"Oh, I just called Charlie and told him how the idiot brigade crashed the party and they were very drunk, but before we could offer them a ride home they left." "I thought that he might want to know about them being on the road." She said with a gleam in her eye.

There are times that I love my sister so much.

"And we're not through with them yet" Rosalie chimed in. "Ben, here, tells me, he handles all of the audio/ visual stuff for the school."

"What are you up to? I ask, worried that this might come back on Bella.

"Don't worry about it Edward" Rosalie answered. "They have this coming."

I really couldn't argue with that.

I noticed that Bella was slowly relaxing, I thought about going and making her another drink, but I really want her sober later.

I guess that Alice was thinking the same thing because she asked "Bella, how about one more?"

I shot her a look, hoping that she would catch my meaning.

"Please" Bella said.

"Not too strong" I warned Alice.

I had sat down in the recliner and pulled her onto my lap, where I could feel her relax immediately. I kissed the top of her head and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me.

Before long, Emmett and Jake had started a guitar hero battle, it was awesome. Emmett would start randomly calling out colors to throw Jacob off and Jake would start singing another song altogether very loudly. At the same time Bella began kissing my neck and rubbing her hands through my hair. Hmm I think that Bella is a little buzzed.

I knew that I needed to get her out of here and to bed before we both embarrassed ourselves.

"Uh guys, I think that it's bedtime for Bella." I said, gently pushing her up so that I could stand.

"Night guys, Bella said."

"Night you two, sleep well." Emmett said. The implications were not missed.

Damn she's drunk, I will be a gentleman, I will be a gentleman. I kept repeating this in my head all of the way up to my room.

"Edward, can I tell you a secret?" she asked

"Of course love, what is it?"

"I'm not really drunk" She said smiling brightly at me.

"I just started acting like that to give us an excuse to get out of there."

Oh thank God. I thought that I might lose my mind if I couldn't touch her tonight.

I bent down and kissed the top of her head and told her just how smart she really is.

Finally we reached my room and I had to remind myself to stay in control.

I left her by the bed and went to light all of the candles.

I threw my jacket on a chair and loosened my tie.

I noticed that she was trying to reach around to undo her dress.

"Un huh I want to do that." I said.

I walked up to her and kissed her, it was soft and tender but also full of promise of what was to come.

"I love you Bella" I whispered to her "I love you too" she said softly.

I turned her around so that she was seeing herself in my full length mirror.

"Look at yourself love" I wanted her to see herself as being as beautiful as I see her.

I reached up and took out the clip that was holding her hair up, letting it fall down across her shoulders. I then pulled it to one side giving me access to her gorgeous neck. I began kissing her neck and started making my way down to her shoulders.

I took her hands in mine and wrapped my arms around her and continued my worship of her neck.

"Edward" She moaned.

"Yes love?"

"OH God, you're killing me." "I prefer to think of it as worshiping you."

Immediately I began undoing the ribbon that was laced up her back and then very slowly began unzipping it.

"Ugh, Edward please." She whimpered.

"Please what Baby?"

"Please touch me, I need you." She was begging now.

"Oh Bella, I'm going to do so much more than touch you, but for right now I find that I'm enjoying myself too much to stop." I gave her an evil grin and she just whimpered again.

Once I had her dress completely unzipped, I began slowly lowering it so that she could step out of it. Which she did amazingly gracefully.

I laid her dress on top of my jacket on the chair and turned back to her.

We were still facing the mirror and I gasped at the sight of her. She was wearing the sexiest fucking underwear that I had ever seen.

"My God Bella, you are stunning."

I make quick work of unhooking her bra, as sexy as it was, it had to go.

I pulled it off of her and threw it to the side and walked around her so that I was facing her.

I immediately fell to my knees, taking time to place open-mouthed kisses on her flat stomach before I began peeling her stockings off of her legs.

Her shoes were next but I placed them on the bed, we may have to revisit these later.

After finally removing the rest of the offending garments I took her hand and led her to the bed.

"Kneel" I told her softly.

I make quick work of removing my clothes and climbed up to kneel behind her. I wrapped my arms around her with one covering her breasts and the other covering her womanhood.

"Look at us in the mirror love"

"Beautiful" she whispered.

"I want a picture of us, just like this" I whispered, she just whimpered.

"Please say that I can" I begged. I knew that it was wrong asking for anything like this, after I had been torturing her for so long; she was so ready that she would have agreed to anything at this point.

"Anything Edward, anything that you want"

I had already put my camera on the tripod earlier in the evening and had even marked the best spot for it to stand; A guy could hope couldn't he.

I kissed her on her shoulder and got up to go get the camera and was back in no time.

I could tell that she was a little nervous about this and I tried to reassure her; "No one will ever see these but us I swear. And I promise that I won't take one of anything graphic."

I grabbed the remote and climbed back up to my original position behind her.

I tried to arrange us as artfully as possible, having her reach behind her to put her hand on the back of my head, while placing her other arm on top of mine that was covering her breasts.

After I had shot a few pictures, I felt my restraint wearing thin.

I was thrilled that we had been able to control ourselves long enough for us to have this seduction scene, but I knew that our control was about long gone.

I began laving kisses down her neck and massaging her breasts with my hands.

I reached down to touch her soft folds, I wanted to make sure that she was ready for me, she was positively drenched.

I bent down over her, pushing her to her hands and knees and lined myself up with her opening and thrust into her.

"Fuck Bella, you're so god damn tight." I groaned.

I stopped for just a minute to give us both time to get accustomed to this sensation; It was so different entering her like this I almost came instantly.

"Ugh Edward, start moving please." she begged.

"Give me a second please Bella." I groaned, finally I had enough control to not embarrass myself. I started thrusting in and out of her, harder and harder each time.

"Ugh, Edward, God I'm about to cum"

"NO Bella, not yet" I said, I knew that she had mentioned that she wanted me to control her and while I'm not exactly sure what she meant by that I thought that I would give it a test run.

"You are not to cum until I say so, do you understand me?"

I'm not really sure how I felt about doing this, my gut instinct is to give her everything that she wants and this felt too much like denying her.

"God yes" she moaned while writhing under my touch, I guess that she wasn't hating this too much.

A couple of minutes later I could feel her begin to clench around me and something inside me snapped.

"I told you not yet." I growled and lightly smacked her ass.

"Fuck" she hissed, I was afraid that I had overdone things and was about to let her cum and begin groveling for forgiveness, when she said "Yes again please."

Wait what? She liked that really? "Are you sure Bella?" "I won't hurt you"

"It doesn't hurt, it feels amazing" So I did it again and then began massaging her ass to make sure that she wasn't sore. God I love her ass, it's absolutely perfect I was massaging it with both hands and she began groaning. "Edward, I want you there" she whispered.

"Huh?" I knew that I heard that wrong; I mean we had both said that it was something that one day we would like to experiment with, but she was no where near ready for it yet.

"Baby, that's something that we need to work up to, I don't want to hurt you and it would." "So please let's wait until you're more prepared."

"Please, I want to try" She whined and I was beginning to feel like a real shit.

Without breaking tempo I was able to lean us over so that I could get a tube of lube out of my bedside drawer. I squeezed a little out and rubbed it on her puckered hole and slowly slid one finger inside of her.

I heard her breath hitch and I stilled inside all of my movements.

I was about to pull it back out of her when she whimpered "more please."

Those words went straight to my cock and I began pounding into her harder and then I added a second finger, trying to stretch her a little.

"Fuck Edward, I can't stop it, I'm sorry." I felt her inner walls clenching around me immediately I would not stop her this time. "Cum for me baby, let go" I I whispered into her ear. With that she went over the edge, her orgasm was so strong it triggered my own; "Wow" we both said as we collapsed into a heap.

We laid there for hours or minutes I'm not sure which lost in each others arms.

"Are you ok love?" I asked a little concerned that I might have gotten a little rough with her.

"Never better honestly." She beamed up at me.

"Me neither" I said while placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Do you want a glass of champagne?" I offered.

"No thanks, I think that I would rather have some juice." She said.

She tried to get up and get dressed to go get it but I wasn't having it. I jumped up and threw on a wife beater and a pair of sleep pants hoping that the guests were gone. "I'll get it love, I don't think that I like the idea of you getting dressed again tonight." I gave her my sideways smile that she seems to love so much.

"You didn't eat much tonight, do you want some food?" I offered.

"No thanks, just hurry back to me please."

I was almost to the kitchen when I heard a lot of noise coming from the family room, I went in to check out what was going on. Wow everyone was still here all piled up with blankets and pillows.

"Eddie" Emmett yelled. "You handling things ok up there?"

"Emmett" I warned.

"Edward" Alice said sweetly "We've decided to make it a slumber party, even Reverend Webber said that Angela could stay." "We're going to stay up and watch the first five Halloween movies"

"The third one blows." I said.

"Would you and Bella like to join us?" "No" I wanted to yell, but I knew that I needed to ask Bella.

"I'll ask Bella, but she's pretty sleepy so I don't know." I said. Please say no, please say no I silently prayed.

"I've got a hundred that says they don't come down" Emmett said chuckling. No one answered, I guess there were no takers.

I went and got her juice and made her a sandwich just in case she changed her mind and made my way back upstairs.

"What took you so long?" She asked

"My siblings and your friends decided to have a slumber party and watch horror movies all night and wanted to know if we want to join them." I told her honestly.

"Hmm, tempting, but no; I want you to myself tonight."

"Thank God, I didn't know if I was going to be able to handle it." I said.

"Edward, is it always going to be like this?" She asked.

"Like what sweetheart?"

"Like how we want to only be wrapped up in each other, I feel like we're kind of pushing others away.""I don't know baby, it may be that way because it's still so new and intense, we'll just have to find a way to find balance."

We laid there for a while not talking but always touching, listening to a play list that I had made earlier. It was great and eclectic; Pink Floyd to Amy Winehouse with a healthy dose of The Beatles too.

I knew that she had to be exhausted but I could tell that she was not ready to surrender to sleep yet; so we made love again. This time slowly, allowing us to communicate the love that we are feeling to each other through our touches.

The next thing that I knew it was morning and I knew that she would be leaving me sometime today; I just need to find a way to stop the clock.

A/N

Sorry that it took a little while to get this posted, I kind of struggled with this chapter a little. I would love to know what you think though and hear any suggestions you might have.

Oh and of course, I still don't own any of this.

Finally RIP Amy Winehouse, so so sad and tragic.
