Edward

I left B to gather her clothes while I poured us some tea. The feeling she was giving me seemed to pull me out of a whirlwind and into deep abyss. Whatever she was doing seemed to only pull me towards her. Her presence was beside me, glancing over my shoulder at what I was doing.

"Tonight was lovely, Ed. We'll have to do it again sometime." She smirked.

I had wanted to continue this with her, whatever it may be. Her time spent with me made me feel I could do anything, accomplish anything I wanted to. She lifted her head to look up at me when I didn't respond to her comment before.

"You okay?" Her eyebrows pushed together and she took a sip from her tea.

"I'm fine. Just thinking about something."

What are you going to tell her? She can't start anything with you, you're an arrogant dickhead remember! The little voice inside my head continued to slap the back of my head. I sighed when those chocolate brown eyes bore into mine, her hand coming up to caress my cheek. B ran her nose along my chest and slipped her arms around me to press her cheek into my torso. I smiled.

"You're not anything like I'd thought you to be, B." My arms had come around her little frame to hug her back.

"And what was it you thought I'd be?" She raised her little nose to glance up at me, her expression soft.

"I don't know...different." I gave her a warm smile, my lips curving up at the corners to show her my teeth.

She giggled when I kissed her nose, her jaw and when I brushed my lips across hers, she gasped and pulled away. I frowned slightly, pulling her back into my embrace. I hadn't wanted anything to push B away from me; I was going in this with the intention of keeping our secret as long as possible. I knew my father could ruin her if he got the chance.

"I should go its getting late." Her voice broke the silence finally.

12:45. she had been here all night; right where I wanted her to be. I sighed and pulled her away from me to grab my check book from the counter. Her hand curled over my fingers to stop me? I glanced up over my shoulder at her and she shook her head. My eyebrows furrowed.

"B, that's the deal. I double the next time we're together. It's been tw-" Her fingers pressed up to my lips to stop my ramble.

"I know what I'm doing, every minute of it. I don't know what you do or where you come from but you bring me here with my will going out the door. I don't have confidence anymore when I spend the night and when we finish with sex, it's like we've known each other over time. I don't know what you're doing, Ed but I can't be that vulnerable with a client. I don't want this pay; I think maybe we should be patient. Until, I've gathered the strength to see you again."

I found myself staring at her while her words passed through me. She had wanted to spend time with me more than she had with anyone else; she grew vulnerable when she was here and she didn't know how to handle it?

"B...I love your company. Its making me feel alive again, I haven't felt like this in years with a woman. I want to see you again, if you don't want my money then don't accept it. But, I want to see you again."

Her frame became tense, her arms wrapped around herself and her head sunk between her shoulders, glancing at the floor. Something was on her mind; I had wished I knew so I could only help her in this situation.

"I can't Edward. I need some time to get my head together, I'll let you know." She sighed on the last word before turning so she could walk to the door.

"B, wait... don't go..."

She had stopped, turning her head around to look at me and a tear fell from the corner of her eye, down her cheek and hit my floor. This wasn't a side I wanted to see from B. I never enjoyed seeing a woman cry, and being the one to have made her was even more unnerving.

"I have to go."

She tried her tears with the back of her hand, her little feet pattered against the floor on her way to the door. My mind, body and soul were taking up with this woman and I wasn't going to allow her to walk out my door without my explanation. My hand pushed the door closed, caging her in against it.

"Please, let me go."

"Not until you hear what I have to say, B."

She turned around in my arms, pressing her back agains the door and brought her eyes up to look into mine. Her expression was timid, painful and a new set of tears left those eyes. It broke my heart.

"This night... the past two nights with you, I've never wanted a woman so much in my life. I want you here every day I get home from work; I want to spend time with you and explore what you have in store for me. I want to spoil you with what I can offer, have sex with you every night as long as I know you'll stay. I don't know what's going on, B but I want to figure out what that is. I need to experience you."

I watched her expression once I had finished and she closed her eyes, lowering her head and found the knob to the door to open it. She closed the door behind her; leaving me standing alone in my big empty house.

This couldn't be good.
