A Family Affair

Edward POV

I heard my damn cell phone beep, once then twice and I groaned tossing my hand out to reach for my pants to take my cell phone out my pocket. The first message was from Jessica about some file she was emailing me to look at and the second was from Bree.

Hope you're looking forward to spending the day with the catastrophe we call our family, mom said to be here by one. ~Bumble Bree

I placed the phone on my nightstand and pulled at my hair. Today was the Cullen/Masen family cookout and it was the first one since my grandfather died. If it wasn't for my mother I wouldn't be showing my face at all. I pulled myself up in the bed and laid back against the pillows. Like most family members they knew how to piss me off, luckily I was going to have Isabella with me today. I looked down at her still sleeping body and brushed hair out her face and kissed her forehead before I climbed out of the bed.

I went to the bathroom and took care of the morning ritual of brushing my teeth, washing my face and taking a leak. Then I headed to my office to check the email Jessica was sending me. I pressed the on button for the computer and took a seat behind my desk. I picked up the remote to cut the television on to see what the weather was going to be like today. Sadly the first thing to pop up on my television was an episode of TMZ, and ironically enough I was the topic.

"Edward Cullen was spotted with Isabella Swan again yesterday."

One of the reporters said, showing a picture of Isabella and me going to lunch at a bistro near my office. "Have they confirmed that they're together?" Someone else asked and I wasn't sure why in the hell I was watching this,

"No, they always say no comment, but we caught up with Isabella's fellow co-star Lauren and she said that the couple was hot and heavy."

The man said and I smiled then turned the channel to see the weather. Once the computer was finished loading I opened my email and checked what Jessica and sent to me. I was hoping like hell it was something to piss me off. She titled it as urgent and I quickly opened it and the first line said I know you said no work today but this is important. I read through the email and then clicked on the attachment she provided. It was new spread sheets from Veronica for last month's sales and earnings. It seems that they located the money that was being embezzled from last month's earnings.

The email said that apparently when we changed the pass code on her computer it stopped the transaction. The Volturi traced it to a Swiss bank account in Rio de Janeiro, with the Allis Bob Manhattan. Jessica also attached a list; Veronica gave her the names of people that asked about getting access to her computer. I found it amazing the number of people asking to get into the companies finance files. It didn't go unnoticed that, Royce, Benjamin and Laurent asked for the code. The only one that made since to ask was Benjamin. Royce was becoming more and more of my prime fucking suspect, and Laurent had some explaining to do.

"I rolled over and you weren't in the bed."

I heard Isabella say from the door way of the office. I looked up at her and had to swallow hard to keep from drooling. She put on one of my shirts and fuck she looked amazing as hell in it. I admired the length of her as she stands there with her hand on her hip obviously waiting for me to say something.

"I'm sorry love; Jessica sent me an email she said was urgent."

I tell her sitting back in my chair and she pouted, "If work made you get out of bed with me, maybe I'm not doing my job correctly." She says and I grin at her.

"Trust me you are doing your job perfectly. How did you sleep?"

I ask her, she closes my office door and walks further into the room. She comes over to me and straddles my lap. "I slept like a baby until I realized my extremely handsome boyfriend wasn't in bed with me." She replies and I kiss her lips softly.

"It was important, look."

I tell her turning her to the computer. She reads the email and I watch the smile spread across her face. "This is great news!" Isabella practically yelled in excitement. I kissed the back of her neck, "It is, the Volutri are dealing with it now and will contact me if necessary." I inform her now closing the files on the computer. She bits her lip at the picture on my desk top, "When did you take that?" She asked me and I placed another kiss on her neck. "Last time you stayed the night." I reply referring to the first night we made love. She turns herself in my lap and runs her fingers through my hair.

"So does that e-mail mean I get you to myself today, no sharing with Masen Corp?"

"You'll have to share me with my family love, but you'll have my undivided attention."

I reply and she bits her lip blushing deeply. "What if your family doesn't like me?" She asked me now playing with the waist band of my pants. I held her chin in my hand making her look at me,

"That's impossible, but it doesn't matter because it wouldn't change the way I feel about you."

I inform her and she smiles the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen. I thought about the trip I was planning to take in August, well I wasn't taking it without her.

"What are you doing the last two weeks of August Isabella?"

"Why?"

"Just answer the question woman."

I say smacking her ass and making her laugh, "Nothing, it will be the last two weeks before the show starts." She answers and I twirl a strain of her hair around my finger.

"What do you think about going away with me for two weeks?"

I ask her nervously. Any other woman was simple but Isabella was different, she was important and I didn't want it to appear that I was forcing things to move too fast. Isabella bit her lip,

"Do you want me to?"

"That's why I asked love."

I said with a laugh and she giggled, and my cock was awake instantly. "Where are we going?" she asked me and I grinned at her,

"Is that a yes?"

"Of course, wouldn't want you taking some other woman."

She joked and I laughed again, "Not in this life time, and where we are going is a secret my love." I reply and she pouts again. I kiss her lips once, then twice and she fist my hair deepening our kiss. I run my hand up the back of her neck and play with the hairs there. Our kiss deepens and she starts to rock against my hard cock causing me to moan into her mouth from the friction.

"Edward I want you again."

She moans against my mouth, grinding her center into my hard dick some more. I quickly slide my hands under the shirt she's wearing and fill my hands with her ass. I pull my lips away from hers when I realize she's not wearing any underwear. She grins at me,

"Young lady where are your panties?"

"My boyfriend ripped them off of me last night."

She says placing kisses on my bare chest. Her tongue flicks against my nipple and I quickly lift her up and place her down on my desk. Fuck I wanted her, to burry myself deep inside of her. I massage her legs gently and she looks down at me with dark eyes.

"What do you want Isabella?"

I ask her placing soft kisses against her inner thighs while keeping my eyes on hers. "I want you inside of me." She tells me and I grin at her and then swirl my tongue around the skin on her leg then take it into my mouth knowing I would be leaving a mark on her inner thigh.

"What part of me do you want inside of you Isabella, my finger…"

I ask then I slid my finger into her slick folds and she bucked her hips against my hand. I slid another finger inside of her and she moaned. I pumped my fingers in and out of faster and faster wanting, needing to watch her come around my fingers. She was wet dripping, her beautiful pink pussy glassines with her sweet nectar and I knew I needed to taste her next. I flipped my hand and curled my fingers inside of her touching a new pressure point I found in her a last night.

"Edward I'm close…"

She moaned biting her lip and I looked up into her eyes. Her face was flushed, eyes dark. "Come on love let's get this first one out of the way. I say entering a third finger and pumping and curling faster. I used my thumb to massage her clit forcefully and her hips bucked up for more. I placed a kiss on her tiny hard mound between her thighs and she moaned loudly as she came around my fingers. I wasn't done with her. I wanted to watch her come again.

"…You still didn't answer me love. What part of me do you want inside of you, my tongue..."

I say and lift her legs up on the arm rest of my chair and dip my tongue into her pink abyss. "Ah fuck." Isabella barks out fisting my hair now. No matter how many times I took her this way her taste was still just as delicious as the first time. I used my tongue to trace the entrance of her canal and then entered it inside of her again tasting her succulent rare flavor. I gripped both her thighs and devoured her, sucking nibbling and lapping up every part of her. I allowed my tongue to glide over the velvet walls of her passage and I growled getting hit harder with her taste and smell.

I gripped both of her thighs in my hands and devoured her, feasted on her until she erupted into my mouth. I moaned because she tasted so fucking good. "…Answer me Isabella, what part of me do you want inside of you?" I ask her again kissing her inner thighs and her breathing is erratic now.

"I want your long, hard, thick cock inside of me Edward."

She replied between breaths. I smiled as I stood up from my chair. "How do you want it Isabella?" I asked and she bit her lip pulling on the waist band of my pajama pants. I stood between her legs and slowly unbutton the shirt revealing the rest of her nude body. I toss the shirt to the floor and run my hand up her stomach over her perfect breast. She set back on her elbows as I leaned in and took her pink nipples into my mouth. I bite gently then suck more of her breast into my mouth, her skin hot, exquisite. I press my hips into her, my hard vessel against her heated moist center that was waiting for me.

"Edward please just fuck me already."

She moans out and I lean up and place a kiss on her lips, "Take him out and put him where you want him." I tell her and she sits up and pushes my pants down over my hips, allowing my hard cock to be released from its confinement. I watched her eyes gloss over in pure lust as she looked down at my erection. Her little hand wrapped around me and I closed my eyes from the warmth and pleasure this alone gave me. She then slid her thumb over my tip spreading the pre cum that started to ooze out. She smiled at me then placed that same thumb into her mouth and moaned. That was enough for me; I pushed everything but the computer itself off of the desk and then gripped her hair in my hand forcing her to look up at me, she went to guide me inside of her and I stopped her movements,

"Love we don't have a condom."

I remembered, we used the last one four this morning. Last night was our first time together since the day we first slept with each other, so I was more than eager to be inside of her last night. She bit her lip looking to be having the same dilemma. "I'm on birth control, I get the shot." She tells me and her cheeks blush and she starts to nibble on her bottom lip revealing her nervousness of what she was suggesting. I cup her face in my hand and she said,

"I mean we could if you trust me…god I feel stupid, never mind."

She says and I quickly devour her mouth sucking her bottom lip into my mouth. "I trust you more than I've ever trusted anyone Isabella." I mumble against her lips. Our kiss grows more intense, heated as I grip the back of her neck. Hell I loved kissing her, touching her, being inside of her. My cock twitched against her and she moaned,

"Are you sure Edward I mean…"

"Isabella shut up, lay back and let me fuck you like you requested."

I say placing kisses against her jaw, she giggles and my dick twitches again. "What's taking you so long?" She asked me and I placed the head of my cock against her clit and she moaned loudly. Then I slid it down further until I hit her erect lips and slid my solid cock in between them. I had to hold my breath to keep from coming too soon. She felt incredible around me, no barrier between us, just flesh against flesh.

"Shit you're so warm and wet love."

I say once I fill her fully, and completely sheathing myself around her moist, soft, tight walls. "Mmm Edward you feel so good inside of me." She says gripping onto my biceps as I start my slow long strokes into her. I wanted to stay in her forever, just like this until the day I died. I looked down into her gorgeous face and she was looking back at me biting on her lip as she accepted every thrust I made. Her nails scrapped over my arms as her skin started to blush again.

"Edward harder."

She demands and I hold on to her shoulder and thrust into her more urgently. I knew she was close and I needed to feel her come around me this way, I needed to bring my woman to ecstasy. I take one of her legs and place it on my shoulder and she takes in a deep breath moaning loudly from this new angle. Her body sucked me in, claimed me and I went willingly driving into her more eagerly wanting to watch her shuddered under me. She was so wet it was making me crazy trying to hold back my on release. I held her ankle up on my shoulder and kissed her calf as I continued my solid strokes into her body.

"Jesus Edward I'm about to come, please go faster…"

She moans and I lean over her causing her leg to go up further and she cried out as I made harder, faster thrust into her body. I felt her hot release wash over me and I growled taking her mouth as I pumped more rapidly needing to feel her do that again. I took both her hands pinning them over her head and diving deeper and deeper into her feminine cavity as she whimpers incoherent words against my mouth. I felt the sweat on my forehead sliding down my face as I worked her body over. Each thrust more powerful than the one before, I swiveled my hips into her and she fisted my hair biting hard down on my lip.

"Don't stop just like that…"

She moaned against my ear, and then she took my ear lobe into her mouth. I used one hand to keep her hands over her head and the other to hold her hips. Her walls clamped down on me and I knew she was close, her legs wrapped around my waist pushing me into her harder. I swirled my tongue around her neck, while pumping into her faster and faster, until she screamed out her release. God feeling her come around me raw was the best feeling in the world, I was close but I needed to feel her come again just one more time. I would be able to survive the rest of the day, well all afternoon if she did. I kissed her chin then her lips again,

"I want to feel you come on my dick again Isabella, can you do that for me?"

I ask her moving in and out of her slowly now, "Fuck you're trying to kill me Edward." She says taking my lip into her mouth.

"I love watching, feeling, making you come Isabella, I think I found my new purpose in life."

I reply then I kiss her deeply while lifting her from my desk, "I want you to ride me Isabella…" I husk out against her ear and she moans, "Edward I…" I knew she was about to tell me that she wasn't ready for that. I swore I wanted to shoot James when Isabella told me that they had only had sex missionary her entire marriage. She was as inexperienced as a virgin in many areas when it came to love making and I was more than willing to teach her.

"Its ok baby…I'll show you a different position, bend over the desk for me love."

I tell her lowering her to the floor. She bits her lip and leans over the desk like I asked. I kicked my pants off and stood behind her. I encourage her to spread her legs apart some more then tell her to arch her back and relax. I slowly enter her from behind and she moans loudly again. I push myself into her completely, and she drops her head on my desk.

"Good god that feels fan-fucking-tastic."

She growls as I make long, hard thrust into her. I lean forward and kiss along her spine as I reach up and grip her hair into my hand. There was no place I would rather be right now, then inside of her, loving her in the most intimate way known to man. I felt her walls tighten around me and smiled that she was close already. I used my left hand to wrap around her to pluck and pull at her clit as I plunged into her deep hole of heaven feverishly.

"Fuck I'm close…"

I growl against her back and she whimpers rocking her hips back to meet my thrust perfectly. I felt the knot in my stomach, the tightness in my balls and the painful pulsing of my cock as I pounded into her. I continued to move my fingers over her hard clit refusing to come without her, she tossed her ass back begging me to go faster, deeper, harder and I did. I placed my right hand over hers interlacing our fingers while I attacked her neck. When her walls clamped down on me this time it was tighter, she claimed me permanently, branded my cock with the walls of her sweet chasm.

"Eddwaaaarrdddd…."

She moaned dragging out my name and I growled biting her neck as I came the hardest I had in my entire life. My release spilled into her and I pumped a few more times before going slump on her back. Both of our breathing was erratic, bodies moist from our own and each other's sweat. I kissed her back, "Ma Vie, Mon amour." I whisper in French as I slide my tongue up the length of her spine. She shudders and squeezes my hand that was still interlaced with hers.

"That was amazing."

She says and I slowly pull out of her and smile because my cock is covered in her juices. I help her stand up straight and she turns and looks at me. "That was better than amazing love, and after the cook out I want a repeat." I inform her then kiss her lips softly, she giggles and my cock twitches from the beautiful sound,

"What day is it? 'See how many times Isabella can come in a day?' "

"I'm alright with that, so far I have you at eight, three last night, and five in here alone."

I reply with what I know is a smug grin on my face, "Which by the way will probably mean I won't be able to walk." She says with her little finger pointing into my chest.

"I can carry you, all day if you want me to."

"Oh shut it Edward, what time do we have to be at your parent's house."

"One, so I have time to run you a bath."

I reply running my fingers through her hair, "And just what will you be doing while I'm in the tub?" She asked me placing kisses on my bare chest, I was starting to get the impression that she like me shirtless. I lifted her chin so she was looking at me,

"I'll take my shower in the hall bathroom, and then email Jessica back."

Isabella pouted and I kissed her lips, "I swear love, I'll be done with work the moment you are out of the tub." I inform her and she inhales a deep breath and step back out of my hold.

"I want bubbles"

"Yes ma'am."

"…And I plan to sit in there for at least an hour and turn into a prune. Enough time for you to finish work."

She says then picks up the shirt she wore into my office and slid it back on. I grin at her and pull my pants back on as I watch her leave out of the office. I laugh when I hear Isabella say good morning to Heidi and Heidi's response was,

"I bet it is dear."

I knew Isabella was more than likely red from her comment. I go and run Isabella her bath and help her into the warm water. She moans and I have to tell myself that she's taking the bath because of me and my dick would have to wait.

"Do you need anything else love before I go?"

"No, go work mad man."

She tells me and I kiss her lips deeply before leaving the bathroom. I walk to the kitchen first to get a cup of coffee and Heidi smiles at me.

"Don't take this the wrong way Edward, but I think I need to move out, between you and Emmett I will get no sleep."

She says and I laugh, "Sorry." I say grabbing a coffee mug off the tray Heidi had sitting out. "Don't apologize. Love is too beautiful and pure and you should never apologize for it." She tells me and I look at her over the rim of my cup with my brow raised.

"Try and deny it Edward, but you love that young woman even Ray Charles could see that. Now I'll be late to the cook out, my son is coming with me this year."

"Really? So I finally get to meet this son you always claim to have?"

I say with a smile and she actually blushes. I never saw a picture of Heidi's son, hell I didn't even know his name. I knew that she called him Mac she said it was from his middle name. She tried to say it was to keep work and her personal life separate, which never made sense to any of us.

"Yes Edward you finally get to meet Mac."

"Good."

I reply and she smiles, I tell her that I'm going to shower and finish up some last minute work while Isabella is in the tub. She nods her head and says she'll make a small breakfast for the two of us. I take my shower first and dress in a in a pair of black cargo shorts, white tennis sneakers and a light blue button up. I rolled the sleeves up and put on my watch. I can hear Isabella in the bathroom splashing the water.

"You alright in there, love?"

"Yes, now go work, you only have…"

She paused and I heard more splashing then she said, "…thirty-two minutes until I get out." I laugh and tell her I'll be done in thirty-two minutes. I walk to my office and pull up Jessica's email and quickly send her an email back and tell her to have a great 4th if July. I make a call to the Volutri and they tell me that the bank in Rio has never met the man that opened the account and that it was all by phone. They told me they would continue to look into it and I thanked them then hung up. I went to click my computer off when I received another email. It was from Paul, he had a new idea and changes to the tablet and wanted me to look it over. I looked through the details he sent me and had to admit I liked this idea better. I email him back and asked would it delay production. He quickly replied with a no, and I told him to continue with the new idea.

"Are you finished?"

I heard Isabella ask from the office door, I looked up and she stood there in a strapless white dress, with multicolour flower prints on it. The dress stopped just pass her knee and she wore a pair of white wedged shoes on her feet. I noticed she most have done her toes in the bathroom because they were painted the same pink as the ribbon that wrapped around her waist of the dress. Her hair looked thicker than usual with curls and her face was radiant, she was literally a work of art.

"Are you going to answer me or just look at me Mr. Cullen?"

She asked me with a smirk on her face and I returned it with my crooked grin. "I was admiring how beautiful you look, very summery and elegant." I tell her and she blushes and walks into the room. She comes and sits in my lap.

"Thank you, you look delicious."

She says and I laugh, "Heidi made us some breakfast." I inform her and she nods her head. "I know. She just left." Isabella tells me and I nod my head and look onto those russet eyes that were consuming me.

"So what should I expect at this cookout, multi Emily types, or sweethearts like your parents and Bree?"

She asked me and I laughed, "That depends on who you are talking to. My mother has a sister, Elizabeth she's a piece of work. She has two kids my cousins Priscilla and Eric. They're no better if not in some ways worse. They don't have the same father, my Aunt Elizabeth has been married and divorced four times last I checked unless she has a new husband when we arrive at the cookout. My cousin Eric has three children all out of wedlock with three different women." I inform her and laugh at how large her eyes get,

"Eric let his money do his talking, which in the end caused him to now pay three child support checks. My grandfather has a brother, Uncle Chester, he has two kids Joanna and William, and they also have two kids a piece. My Aunt Joanna has Lydia who sadly is like another Emily and Grace who is literally my favourite cousin on my mother's side, she has a little girl named Rain."

I continue and Isabella smiles, "That's pretty, and don't be upset when I constantly ask you people's name. I mean we haven't even gotten to your father side yet and I think I forgot at least two names." Isabella says and I laugh and kiss her lips.

"You only need to worry about those important to me, because I like when the people most important to me know each other."

I inform her and she blushes, "We should go have breakfast, it's a long drive to your parents place. I googled it yesterday." She tells me and I laugh,

"What is it with you Swans googling everything?"

I tease remembering when Charlie said he googled me. She laughs getting up from my lap and taking my hand. We go and have breakfast until Seth calls me to let me know he's outside.

"Did you pack a swim suit?"

I asked realizing I never said anything to her about it. "Yes, Bree called me yesterday and said I should bring one. Apparently there will be water polo guys against girls." Isabella says and I smile at her,

"Yeah, but the guys win every year."

"We'll see, I may not be athletic but Rose is."

Isabella says I smiled because this would be interesting since Emmett was competitive. "Now no offense, but I didn't know you rich folk did the whole sports playing and family games. I thought it would be a whole bunch of people with their head up their asses." She says and I laugh hysterically.

"On my mother's side yes, but my father's side despite the money are real down to earth. It's why my mother started the yearly cookouts; she said hopefully they would rub off on them."

I told her and she laughed. We grabbed the bag she had her swim suit in and I tossed my trunks inside of her bag and we left. I turned off my phone which was starting to become a habit when I was with her. I figured anyone who needed to call me and it was urgent would call Jessica, and she had Emmett and Isabella's number. Emmett drove behind us to my parent's house and Isabella was chewing on her lip. I pulled her tighter against me and pulled her lips from between her teeth.

"Relax, they'll love you."

I tell her kissing her shoulder. "You know my mother already does, she invited you before I even had the chance to."I remind her and she smiles at me. When we arrive on my parent's estate I had to put in their pass code to get through the gates. As we drove up the road I heard Isabella gasp from next to me.

"Edward your parent's house is huge, you grew up here?'

She asked looking out the window, "Yeah my dad brought it for my mother because she fell in love with the garden." I reply. Seth pulls up and I see my mother hired a valet service. We all climb out and the valet takes the car to park it. Emmett and Rosalie get out of the car next and I hold Isabella's hand as we head into the house. We enter and I can hear music coming from the back and I head for the kitchen knowing my mother was probably in there.

"Mia, I told you to put the tray outside not on the deck."

I hear my mother say, "Sorry Mrs. Cullen." The housekeeper says quickly going to fix her mistake. "Hey mom." I say as we enter the kitchen and she turns with a smile on her face.

"Oh you're here!"

She says walking over to us, I laugh when she pulls Isabella into a hug before greeting her own son. "I'm so happy you could make it Bella." My mother says with a big smile and I clear my throat.

"Your only son is here too."

I say and she laughs and gives me a hug. "Sweetheart, I think I'm going to leave the grilling to the professionals, I almost burnt my eyebrows off." I hear my father say as he enters the kitchen from the deck entrance. He spots us and quickly approaches us both giving us a hug.

"Edward your mother is trying to kill me, tell her these hands are for surgery not grilling."

My father says and I laugh, "You heard the man mom." I say and she flags us both. "Dr. C please tell me we are playing flag football this year, I need to kick Eddie's ass, he got cocky last time." Emmett yells coming into the kitchen and my mother slapped his chest.

"Watch your mouth before I wash it out with bleach."

She tells me and he grins wrapping her into his large arms. My parents greet him and Rose then I hear laughter of a group of girls and before I can turn around I feel Bree on my back.

"Hey Eddie, about time you got here."

Bree says and I laugh putting her down. "You would think since you're a college graduate now you would stop acting like a monkey." I say messing up her hair and she slaps my hand away laughing.

"Hey Bella you look great and I love your dress!"

Bree says ignoring me now, Isabella blushes. "Thank you." She replies, I ask my mother if anyone else have arrived and she told me that a few of my cousins on my father side were already in the yard, and also that my paternal grandparents were here. I take Isabella's hand and take her outside to introduce her. Yes I wanted to show my woman off like a kid with a shiny new toy. I see my grandparents sitting out in the gazebo so we walk over there.

"Ma-ma, Pa-pa."

I say when we reach the gazebo and they both smile at me. "Edward my boy, you look good." My grandfather says and I smile. I help Isabella up the step to the gazebo and walk over to where they are sitting.

"You look good too old man, Ma-ma you don't look a day over forty."

I say kissing her cheek and she laughs, "Liar, who is this beautiful young lady?" She asks and I take Isabella's hand.

"This is Isabella, my girlfriend. Love, these are my grandparents Magnus and Luetta Cullen."

"Magnus tell your grandson to stop lying she's too pretty to be his girlfriend. I swear he gets the lying from your side of the family."

My grandmother says and I laugh while Isabella blushed fiercely. "Love, if I can get a beauty like you why can't he have one like her." My grandfather said and she laughed,

"You Cullen men always charming, Isabella my dear it is wonderful to meet you. Eddie doesn't usually bring a woman with him to family gatherings."

My grandmother says with a smile on her face as she looked at me. "She's important to me, Ma-ma." I reply and my grandfather smiles a knowing smile. "It's nice to meet you both." Isabella says with a smile on her face. We leave the gazebo and I introduce her to some of my cousins from my father's side, and like I knew they would be they were all welcoming. I introduced her to my cousin Henry who was the only relative other then my mother with my hair color; my mother said it was probably why he and I got along so well.

"Nice to meet you Bella, I don't know why you are dating my bone head cousin but when you're ready to upgrade give me a call."

Henry jokes and Isabella laughs, "There is no better than Edward, Henry but keep trying." Isabella jokes back and Henry tossed his head back laughing. "Oh yeah I like her Eddie." He says slapping his hand down on my shoulder as he walks away. When I introduced her to my cousin Grace and her daughter Rain naturally she was a hit with them. That didn't surprise me at all,

"Ms. Bella your hair is really long and pretty."

Rain says, "Thank you Rain, I think that your hair is pretty too." Isabella says and Rain smiles and takes her hand, "Come on I want to show you my pet rabbit." Rain says pulling on Isabella's hand. Isabella quickly follows her and Grace smiles at me,

"I like her; you tell her you love her yet?"

"Grace…"

"Oh shut it Eddie…I know you and you don't bring girls to family gatherings but you did today, and she's a journalist for a morning show. I mean you have to love her to put everything on the line like that. Just know I hate purple so please tell her not to pick purple bridesmaids dresses."

Grace tells me with a smile on her face and I laugh running my fingers through my hair. Isabella walks back over to where Grace and I are standing and I pull her to me placing a kiss on her lips.

"Eddie brought a woman with him Becky!"

I hear my cousin Rachel yell to her twin, "Does your entire family call you Eddie?" Isabella asked in my ear and I nodded my head yes. "Apparently the more I tell them I hate it the more they call me it, so I just gave up." I told her and she laughed.

"Oh my god, your that lady from the morning show!"

Rebecca says when she walks over to us. "It's nice to meet you." Isabella says laughing, "Eddie you idiot, I asked you if you were dating her?" Rebecca said slapping my arm.

"I wasn't when you asked."

I reply and she rolls her eyes, "Bella we design clothes did Eddie tell you that?" Rachel asked and I already knew where they were getting at. "Um No he didn't tell me." She says looking at me and I shrug my shoulders. "Would you like to come see some of our designs, we would love your opinion." Rebecca says and Isabella agrees. They take Isabella and I give her a quick kiss on her lips as they all waved at me as they walked away. I headed back to the house just as I heard my mother speaking to my Aunt Elizabeth, and my first thought was Oh lord she's here.

"Esme you know that I am right, you were always daddy's favourite. Then your children were is favourite grandchildren, completely ignoring my Priscilla and Eric."

"Lizz please not today, for once can we not argue about this. Daddy loved us both you were just too much of a brat to notice."

I hear my mother say, I walk into the kitchen and they both look at me. "Hello Aunt Lizz." I say rather coldly and she tightens her lips and actually lifted her nose up at me. I shook my head and kissed my mother's cheek,

"Where's dad?"

"He is setting up the game systems for the kids in the game room."

"Edward how is my father's company; I hear you're letting it crumble. You know Eric would have been a great CEO, he is a Masen. "

My aunt says and my jaw goes tight, "Eric would have lost the company in one of his many child support battles, and Aunt Lizz have you gotten married and divorced recently, you seem more bitchy than normal." I reply back and I hear my mother try to stifle her laugh.

"Edward you need to remember to respect your elders."

"Aunt Lizz, go get a cocktail, drown out the voices in your head and leave me and my mother the hell alone."

I say and walk out of the kitchen pulling my mother with me. "Why do you invite her?" I ask my mother and she laughs,

"She's still my sister. You would still invite Emily."

"Yeah, after I get a muzzle for her mouth."

I reply and my mother playfully slaps my arm and tells me to behave. We enter the game room and I laugh watching my father trying to play tennis on the Wii against Eric's son Christopher.

"Go head Chris show Uncle C how you really play this game."

I hear my cousin Eric say from behind me and I turn around. He looked just like my grandfather it was honestly disturbing.

"Eddie! How are you?"

Eric says with a smile and I place on a fake one, "I'm good Eric." I reply and he places his arm over my shoulder.

"Mind if we talk real fast?"

He asked me and I inhaled and told my mother I would be right back. I walk with Eric out into the hall. "So I was thinking about the company, I think you should sell half of it, get some of that weight off your back." He tells me and I look at him like he had lost his mind.

"You think I should sell half of Grandfather's, Company?"

"Yeah, I was already talking to some people and …"

I raise my hand up to stop him from continuing. "That right there is why he left the company to me and not you. I'm not selling the company Eric." I inform him and he looks at me as if he is surprised,

"Edward I already made calls and…"

"…then I think you need to make some more calls and tell them there is no sale. I don't get how you try selling a company that isn't yours to sell."

"Right, he left it to the golden boy that could cause us to lose it all if his crazy stripper ex decides to open up to the press."

"Eric get over it, I run the company not you. Why don't you stopping fucking everything with a pussy and grow the fuck up."

I say to him just as I see Isabella coming up the hall. She steps right between Eric and I and places a soft kiss on my lips, then smiles at me. "Edward your cousins are real creative, they asked me to wear some of their designs on the show. I told them I would. I don't think Alice will mind." Isabella says taking my arm and then leaning into me. Then she noticed Eric,

"Hello."

She says and he smiles at her, "Hello I'm Edward's cousin Eric and you are?" he asked holding his hand out for hers. She shakes his hand and he goes to kiss her knuckles and I snatch her hand away from him.

"This is Isabella."

"Your name fits you perfectly."

"Yes my boyfriend thinks so too."

"Boyfriend ?"

"Yes that would be me Eric."

I tell him and he grins, "Is that so, does she know about Maria?" He asked and I knew he only said that to cause trouble. I go to respond and Isabella squeezes my arm.

"Yes I know about her, I also know about your three children, are all three of your children's mothers here as well I would love to meet them."

Isabella says and his face goes red then he walks away. "That was real smooth Isabella." I say with my lips against her cheek. She laughs and runs her fingers through my hair.

"I could tell you were pissed when I was walking up the hall."

She says and I kiss her lips mumbling a thank you for her being here with me. "Big brother I almost didn't recognize you out of a suit." I hear Emily say from behind Isabella. I place another lingering kiss on Isabella's lips and look at my sister.

"And oh goody you brought the journalist to a family gathering. Do you have your tape recorder on you Bella to get all the good Masen secrets?"

"Emily I would never do that and Edward knows that."

"Love you don't have to explain yourself to my sister. Just ignore her I always do." I say taking Isabella's hand and start to walk away from my sister.

"Right ignore that you are jeopardizing the families' legacy again."

Emily says as I walk past her, "Emily I am not jeopardizing a damn thing." I bark at her and she looks at me folding her arms over her chest,

"Is that so, did you know that Mr. Shoe threatened to pull out of the tablet because he heard that Sony got a hold of the plans from Masen Tech?"

She asked me and my nose flared, "You're lying?" I say and she smirks shaking her head, "Nope, I'm not. If you didn't turn your phone off again for miss thing you would have gotten that call from Benjamin." She tells me and I pull my cell phone out my pocket cut it on and walk away leaving Isabella and Emily standing there. I wasn't going to bother calling Benjamin; I called out to Shoe first.

"Mr. Cullen what a pleasant surprise."

"I'm calling about a manner of trouble you were having concern about the tablet."

"Yes, your VP cleared it up, said that you just approved a new version this morning. Your secretary has emailed me the outline and I am still on board."

He tells me and I had never been more thankful for Benjamin and Jessica in all my life. "That's good to hear, and I'm sorry for any mix up or confusion." I tell him we continue a short conversation and he tells me to have a nice independence day and that he didn't mean to disturb my day off. I hang up and pull at my hair. I was thankful for Benjamin but I wanted to know why in the hell did he call Emily and not Jessica in the first place.

Bella POV

After Edward walked off I looked at Emily who was wearing a rather pleased smile on her face. I turned to walk after him but stopped and turn around and looked at her. "What did you do?" I asked her and she looked at me as if I had no right to question her.

"I didn't do anything."

"Bull shit Emily, for there to be a chance that your families company could be losing millions right now you look extremely pleased with yourself."

"It's a nice day."

"No you're full of it

I say to her and she rolls her eyes, "Bella all you are is another pet of my brothers. Everyone kisses his ass like he is some damn saint and he isn't." Emily says to me and I am tired of hearing her talk shit about her own brother.

"What is your problem with Edward, Emily? You're right he isn't a saint, but he is damn sure a better person then you will ever be."

"Bella what did he tell you about Maria?"

"He told me enough."

I say and she smiles now, "Did he tell you that he encouraged her drug use while she was still stripping, or how about that after he broke up with her she tried to kill herself. He ruined her life and he is only going to do the same thing to you. He's treating you like a new puppy showing you off to our family." Emily tells me and I inhale a deep breath because she was right I didn't know any of that, but I also knew better then to believe a word she said to me.

"I don't know if anything you said is the truth, what I do know is that Edward isn't that man anymore. Also the only bitch I see here is you Emily."

I inform her and she looks at me, "You can't talk to me that way in my parents' house." She says and I step closer to her now.

"Like hell I can't. Let me ask you something Emily did Edward tell you all of this about Maria or have you been talking to her?"

"No."

"No, what? No he didn't tell you or no you haven't been talking to her? What it seems like to me is that you are making your brother pay for the one mistake he ever made all because you are jealous of him. He is having enough trouble with some ass hole trying to rob the company blind he shouldn't have to fight off his own damn family too. Has he ever treated you like any less then family?"

I asked her and she didn't answer me, she just inhaled another deep breath. "Ask yourself this when your parents are gone who will you have left if you keep treating Bree and Edward like shit?" I ask and she bits her lip,

"I love my brother and my sister."

"You have a fucked up way of showing it."

I reply to her "You don't know a damn thing Bella." She snaps back at me and I smile at her now,

"I know enough Emily, and let's get something clear. I am not a pet to your brother; I am his girlfriend who plans to be around for a long time. And so help me god if you keep treating him like shit in front of me, I will give you the ass kicking that is so obviously overdue."

I inform her and she looks completely surprised by my words. I see her eyes look over my shoulder and I turn around to see Edward standing behind me. He takes a step closer to me and his hand slides around my waist. He places a kiss on my neck then says to me,

"We getting ready to play flag football, I need my cheerleader."

I laugh and take his hand as we head outside. When we make it outside Edward yells that it's time to play flag football and I swear I had no idea where Emmett came from but he came screaming about how he planned to kick Edwards ass.

"Emmett language or I am getting the bleach bottle!"

I heard Esme yell and we all laughed. The guys got ready to play and Rose and I helped Esme bring out chairs for everyone to sit in.

"Esme I'm surprised you are letting them play in your garden."

I say and Esme laughs, "Oh dear this isn't my garden, this is just and opened space Carlisle and I left open for the kids. Come I'll show you my garden." Esme says and she takes my arm and I follow her up a path. We step out on a stone walkway with wooden stairs. I can see flower bushes in the distance and I'm instantly hit with the lovely smell of all the flowers. We walk up a perfectly cut lawn with what I thought had to be every type of flower bush possible bordering the lawn.

"Esme this is beautiful."

"Thank you, I fell in love with it visiting one of my father's business partners. When Carlisle found out, he made an offer on the house. It was the first time Carlisle actually tossed his money around."

She tells me and I remembered Edward telling me his father brought the house for Esme. "Mom, are you trying to kidnap my girl from me." I hear Edward say from behind us and we both turn around.

"Of course not my sweet boy, just showing her the garden, is everyone ready to play?"

Esme ask and he's looking at me when he nods his head. We all head back to where the guys are playing and Edward takes off the button on shirt he is wearing. "Think you can hold this for me love?" He asked and I laugh,

"Sure and don't ruin that pretty face I enjoy looking at it."

I tell him and he laughs then kisses my luck saying it was for good luck. We sit down and watch the guys while Carlisle and his brother Garrett play referees. I swear watching Edward play made me wet and I had to constantly remind myself that I was sitting with his family. Every now and then he would wink at me and I would grin like a school girl with a crush.

"If you keep looking at him like that you'll combust."

Rosalie says from next to me and I laugh, "Am I that obvious?" I ask her and she said that I was a lot more then obvious. She introduces me to Edward's cousin Tanya who was also Emmett's ex. Rose said when Emmett introduced them they just hit it off. I shook my head and just laughed only Rose would become friends with her boyfriend's ex. But I also knew that Tanya was a sweet person from the things Edward told me about her.

"Bella it's good to see you here with my cousin. He was sulking the rest of that night when you left the black and white ball."

"I really thought you were together, I felt so silly when I found out you were just his cousin."

I tell Tanya and she laughs. We finish watching the guys play and I was so happy to see Edward so relaxed. When the game was over Edward and I rubbed it in Emmett's face that his team lost again to Edward's team. Edward hugged me and I pushed him back,

"Baby you look great but you're sweaty."

I tell him and he laughs, "Edward is this, the new girlfriend everyone is talking about?"

I hear someone say from behind me. Edwards jaw goes tight and I turn around to see how as changed his mood. There is a woman standing in front of me that looked like she had more work done then Tori Spelling.

"Hello Priscilla."

Edward says and she wrinkles her nose up at him. She looks me up and down. "Sweetie, where did you get that dress from, Target?" She says with a grin on her face and I want to slap that damn smile right off her face.

"Priscilla I am warning you…"

"Edward you cannot boss me around, so bite me alright."

Priscilla says then she looks back at me, "So did he find you at a strip club too?" She asked and I was tired of her already.

"Priscilla is it? I don't know you, I don't care to know you, but let's get something straight I am not a stripper, nor have I ever been one. I don't know what your and some of the rest of this families problem with Edward is, but I'm not going to stand here and tolerate it."

"Excuse me."

She says as if I spoke another language, "You heard me; all of you take advantage of him because we all know he would never say anything to any of you that would upset Esme, but news flash sweetheart I am not related to you. So just like I told Emily I'm going to tell you, you will not disrespect him or me unless you want an ass kicking too." I finish saying then I hear a few applauses along with some laughter. I looked around feeling embarrassed now seeing I had an audience.

"That is the third person you put in their place for me and the second ass you threatened to kick. When I get you home I want you naked."

Edward says into my ear and I laugh. We leave Priscilla standing there and we head into the house to change into her bathing suits. I change my clothes in the room with Rosalie.

"Why did you pick a red bikini again?"

"Edward likes this color on me."

I tell her with a blush and she laughs, "Then he is going to attack you when he sees you in that." Rose tells me and I look down at myself and smile at the red bikini I am wearing. When we make it back outside the pool is already filled with some of Edward's family and I am thankful it is only the ones I seemed to get along with because between Emily and Priscilla I was bound to drown them.

"My dear I hope you are not one of my relatives, I'm Liam."

I hear a man say from behind me. I swore someone was forever walking up behind you here. I slowly turn around and smile,

"No I'm not a relative I'm…"

"…My girlfriend Uncle Liam so back off."

Edward says walking up behind his uncle and I bit my lip and grin and the god like man walking towards me. "Your girlfriend?" Edward's uncle says and Edward's eyes go dark as he looks at me.

"Yes and as much as I love you Uncle Liam I will kick your ass over her."

He continues and I laugh. Edward introduces me to his uncle from his father's side and I laugh as I hear him brag about being the oldest bachelor in the family. When he walks away Edward wraps his arm around my waist.

"I think we should go swimming now."

"Really?"

"Yes, because my girlfriend just gave me a massive fucking hard on that I would rather my mother didn't see."

He tells me and I laugh as he quickly runs past and jumps into the pool. I laugh when he pops back up with a grin on his face. I remove the cover up and walk to the steps of the pool. Edward's eyes are on me the entire time. I slowly walk down the stairs and Edward meets me at the bottom step. He wraps his arms around my waist and places a kiss on my lips.

"You look beautiful."

"You look extremely hot."

I reply back and he laughs pulling us further out into the water. "So are you ready to run for the hills yet?" He asked pressing me against him and kissing my shoulder. "No, trust me I think I scared your family more then they scared me." I tell him and he laughs and kisses my lips again,

"I know you scared Emily and Priscilla."

He says and I laugh wrapping my arms around his neck. "I heard your conversation with Emily too. I did not encourage Maria's drug problem, I put her in rehab three times." He explains and I shake my head and brush his wet hair back.

"Baby you don't have to explain any of that to me. I know you wouldn't; now you know what I really want…"

I ask him and he gives me my favourite smile, "What is that Ms. Swan?" He asked and I nibble on his lower lip. "I want or you to kiss me." I say and he lifts me up from the water and places a searing kiss on my lips. I fist my hand into his hair and wrap my legs around him. I can feel his erection pressing against me and I wish like hell we were in private.

"Hey there are children present!"

I hear Emmett yell and Edward and I reluctantly pull apart laughing. "Oh Heidi you've finally made it." I hear Esme say and then I hear literally everyone outside gasp at the same time. I unwrapped my legs from around Edward and turn in his arms. There is a man standing behind Heidi you resembled Edward's cousin Eric in an identical way. I could honestly see why they all gasped.

"Who is he?"

A woman who looks like Esme says and Heidi bites her lip, "This is my son, Masen Anthony Carter." She says and I inhale deeply as everyone begins to put together just what I think is happening here.

"How dare you give him my family name you maid!"

"Elizabeth there is no need to be crude, I'm sure there is an explanation."

Esme says and now everyone is looking at Heidi again. I can hear Edward cursing under his breath as his hold on me tightens.

"I've been trying for years to figure out how to say something, to tell everyone."

"Tell everyone what Heidi?"

Edward shouts over my shoulder, "Mac or Masen is my and Edmund's son." She says and I swear I've never seen a woman move as fast as Edward's Aunt Elizabeth when she hauled off and slapped Heidi.


Did you see that coming? How about that lemon, I want an Edward of my own.
