CHAPTER 27

Bella

After Edward introduces me to Angie, Edward takes my hand and gives me a tour of the office. He shows me Jasper and Emmett's offices and by the condition of them, I am sure once Alice gets a peek, her organizing skills will go into overdrive.

Edward takes me into the conference room that houses historical artifacts and the history behind the Volturi name. After viewing the amazing items, I ask him why his last name is Cullen but the family winery is named Volturi.

"Our family was very big and very powerful in Italy. Since the 1800's the name Cullen has had Sicilian mafia connections. After, let's just say, a historical catastrophic event, the family no longer wanted participation in the mafia organization. After a long, and sometimes fatal, struggle the Cullen's were able to disassociate themselves from all their mafia ties." He explains, clearly enjoying telling the story. "The 'organization' has since been disbanded, some say eliminated, and the Cullen's now have no mafia connections at all and are left in peace both in Italy and the U.S."

I stop and look at a large canvas of an elderly man with a woman next to him. I assume this must be his great grandfather. Edward kisses me softly on my head and stares at the painting for a few moments before speaking again.

"Now, it was my great grandfather's wish that since we were no longer associated with the mafia that we must create a new family legacy, something not tied to the mob in any way, so he created Volturi wines and it has evolved over the years to what you see today. It is very successful in Italy as well as the U.S."

"So, Volturi is a made up name?" I ask, fascinated by all of this information that I never knew anything about.

"Well, it is based on a real place. You see, my great grandparents were from Volterra, so my grandfather wanted to honor their home and that's how the name evolved."

I listen to his brief family history lesson and am in awe of who he is and where he comes from. There is so much history behind him and his family.

"We have a huge library on our family. You are more than welcome to read what we have." He offers.

"Oh my god, Edward, I would love that." I exclaim.

He smiles at me and takes hold of my hand, heading out for a tour of the vineyard to see the different types of vines and the processing plant. This is the part I am truly interested in. Once we are in his Hummer cart he heads toward the rolling hills of the property and the lessons begin.

"Our property consists of over 400 acres. We grow a variety of red and white grapes. In the red category, we grow Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Syrah and Zinfandel grapes. In the whites we have Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. I have a test area for grapes that I use for my special reserves and for experimental use." He looks over at me smiling, "I would show you but then I'd have to kill you." But then his smile fades, "I can't believe I said that. It's not funny even as a joke."

"Hey, Edward, it was a good line. Top Gun is one of my all-time favorites." I say to lighten his mood again. "Hey, what grapes are those over there?"

"We are in the Red Zone as we call it. And those are the Pinot Noir grapes, which as you know are used for the burgundy wines." I smile to myself because I did indeed know that.

"Edward, I've always wanted to know, why do you let this yellow weed grow in your vineyard?" I ask curiously.

"We don't "let" this grow, Bella, we plant it here. We plant it as a pest deterrent. Once immature grapes form, we will remove it. We also plant Geraniums to deter the Japanese Beetle and chives for aphids. The term for the use of these plants is called companion planting."

I am impressed that they use natural ways to remove pest threats rather than using chemicals. It makes me love Volturi wines all the more.

"Why do you see vines planted on hills rather than on flat surfaces?" I ask. I think I know, but I am not certain.

"It's for drainage. Grapevines don't like moisture so the hills roll the moisture away from the roots." He answers.

We continue the tour of the property while he shows me the different varieties of vines and then points out Emmett and Jasper's properties. I like how all the homes will be spaced far enough apart to allow privacy, yet close enough to visit without needing a car. I can see Jasper's Hummer and know he is showing Alice around so I don't suggest we stop to visit.

Edward takes me to the top of the hill where there sits a lone oak tree. He pulls up and positions the cart so that we have to walk a ways to the tree. He grabs a small bag and a blanket out of the trunk of the cart, takes my hand and we walk toward the tree.

"Sorry about the hike, baby, but it's a rule of us brothers that we park our carts where it can be seen and no one will stop if the other is here first." He smiles down at me and I get kind of tingly at the thought.

Edward spreads the blanket and we sit facing the vineyard. It is breathtakingly beautiful up here.

"See over there?" He points over to the right. "That's my place. Then over there, of course is the winery and visitor's center… and then mom and dad's… and where that crop of trees is way over there is Emmett's place. We can't see Jasper's place from here but you know where it is since we just passed it. Behind this hill are the workshops, gas station, and all the other buildings necessary to keep a successful winery operating smoothly." He stops and opens the bag withdrawing a thermos of coffee, pouring a cup for each of us.

"I can see why you all live here, Edward. It's beautiful. So quiet and serene. I would come to this spot often if I lived here, that's for sure." I say, staring out into the distance.

"You can stay here as long as you want and come to this spot as often as you want, Bella." He says to me while looking down at his coffee. Did he just say what I think he said?

I look into Edward's eyes and I can see what's there, I can see how much he loves me and wants me with him. He touches my cheek and I lay back onto the blanket bringing him with me, he lowers his mouth to mine and I open my lips just to taste him. I then wrap my arm around his neck pulling him down closer to me as he tucks his hand under my back, rolling me on top of him, his lips never leaving my mouth. When things start to get heated he slips his hands down past the waistband of my jeans, gently cupping my bottom and inching his long fingers down between my thights.

I move to roll off of him and he quickly removes his hands looking at me as if he has done something wrong. I sit up to remove my boots then stand to remove my jeans and panties. He props himself up on his elbows watching me undress and I can visibly see him grow in front of me. He kicks off his shoes and I straddle his thighs and unbutton his jeans, pulling them past his knees down to his ankles, and he kicks them off his feet.

I am standing above him with my feet on each side of his hips when he reaches up, inserting his finger inside my folds and my knees begin to weaken. He pulls me down until I am on my knees and I bend down to kiss him when he reaches behind the tops of my thighs using all of his fingers on both hands to play with my clit. The feeling of all of his fingers strumming over me like that is a new and wonderful sensation for me and it doesn't take long for me to get close.

"Fuck, Edward. That feels so good, baby."

"God you look sexy in this position, Bella." He says and I look down to see what he sees and I'm on my knees with them spread wide and his fingers are moving randomly over me while my hips are reacting to his touch.

"I need you inside me, Edward." I beg running my tongue around the shell of his ear. I leave a trail of kisses down his neck and then up to his very prominent jaw. I find his jaw terribly sexy.

With that he takes my hips and slowly lowers me down onto his cock. He slides in so easy and smooth, it's difficult for me not to start riding him. He sits us upright and we are now facing each other as I methodically grind my hips over him. I slowly rise up above him and then sit down on him hard again and I hear him moan in pleasure.

"Fuck, Bella…" He groans, running his hands all over my back, holding me close to his chest. But when he tucks his hands around ass and helps me move over him, it was nearly my undoing.

"Feel that baby? Feel me take your cock all the way in?" I tease him, running my finger along his lips.

"Christ, Bella. You're gonna make me cum if you keep talking like that." He says through ragged breath.

"Do you like this baby?" I ask as I rise up just enough to tease the head at the entrance of me, feeling the pop as I lift all the way off him then sit on him hard and deliberate, circling my hips over him.

"Oh fuck, Bella." He says through clenched teeth, and then holds my hips while thrusting his up hard and then pulling us down onto the blanket.

"Oh my god, Edward. You feel so good, baby."

He has one arm wrapped tight over my shoulder and the other around my waist, clutching me tight to him not letting me move. He raises his hips and starts thrusting and fucking me hard and fast.

"Oh god, Bella, I'm going to cum. I need you to cum now." He says in between thrusts.

"I love you Edward… Oh fuck! Oh God! Here it comes baby." I say, panting out my orgasm in his ear while he holds me tighter to him and fucks me even harder and deeper if that's even possible.

"Bel… la…" He groans out as he cums so hard that I can feel him explode inside of me.

"Oh shit, Edward. That was the best outdoor-under-the-oak-tree-sex I have ever had." I say, lying across his chest trying to catch my breath.

"Bella, anytime-anywhere-sex with you is the best I have ever had." He says, bringing my cheek to his lips. I love the sound of his ragged, broken breathing in my ear after he cums. I shiver at hearing it.

As soon as he says that we hear a horn honking as it goes by our spot and I know it is either Jasper or Emmett wanting to see if the tree is available. It startles me and I sit up, looking behind me, not seeing anyone. I chuckle before reaching over for the bag near me. I look inside the bag that Edward brought with us and find napkins and use them to clean us up and then we hurry to get dressed, giggling at the prospect of getting caught.

Once we have packed everything and start to head back toward the cart, Edward wraps his arm around me, pulling me into a tight one-armed hug.

"I love you very much, Bella. Thank you for that." He says, kissing the top of my head.

He then walks us toward the cart and we continue our tour of the various grapevines that are used to produce the Volturi wines.

"It's almost time to meet at Aro's, so let's go say hello to Embry, shall we?

"I'd love that. He saw us earlier and had a very strange look on his face. I know he is wondering what I am doing here with you." I say, smiling at him, my eyes focusing on that beautiful mouth of his.

~BD~

Edward checks his emails while I visit with Embry for a bit. We then move over to the café and meet with the others for lunch. Edward sits and as soon as he is comfortable, Emmett slugs his shoulder.

"Way to snag the tree brother." He complains.

"Fuck, Em." Edward says rubbing his shoulder. "You have a perfect tree on your own property, why don't you take your women there." Edward says.

"Emmett?" Rosalie asks, looking at him quizzically, like she could possibly start to cry.

"Fuck you, Edward. Now look what you've done." Emmett says looking down at Rosalie's sad eyes.

"Rose." Edward says, getting up to go to her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. He only has eyes for you, you know that right? Only for you."

He pulls back and looks at her with a raised eyebrow and she shyly nods her head yes. I watch as he pulls her into another hug then sits her down in her seat. This is such a new side to Rose. I am used to seeing her be a tough as nails person but Emmett has brought out the insecurity that all women carry within them. As much as our men tell us that we are it for them there is just that little piece inside of us that says maybe we aren't good enough.

"Now tend to your woman idiot." Edward says, smacking the back of Emmett's head.

I watch as Emmett takes Rosalie away from the table for a walk through the gardens. I see her stop and face him. He takes her hands and kisses each one and when he tells her something in earnest, I can see his head shake from side to side. It is then that Rosalie throws herself into his arms and they stand there holding each other, rocking back and forth until he raises his head and kisses her, long and thoroughly. Something happened just then and I hope she shares what it is because it looked sweet as hell. His body language says it all.

The waiter takes our drink orders and I order iced tea rather than wine and smile when Edward does the same. Edward tells me that he has ordered something special for me and that I don't have to even look at the menu and once Emmett and Rosalie return to the table, lunch is being served. When I look down at my plate and see those fabulous mushroom ravioli's, I about drool all over myself.

"So, Alice, what do you think about Jasper's property?" I ask her.

"Oh Bella, it's a beautiful place. There is the most perfect view of the vineyard that should most definitely be taken advantage of whether it be the living room or the bedroom or perhaps both if it is worked properly." She says scooting to the edge of her seat. "And after hearing Jazzie's plans, I think it's going to be perfect." She says looking at him affectionately.

I look at Edward and we both mouth 'Jazzie'?

"Shut the fuck up Edweirdo. My girl can call me anything she wants." He says putting his forehead on Alice's.

"What?" Edward sits up straighter in his seat looking at me silently asking me how Jasper knew about Edweirdo.

"I may have told her a little bit." I say quietly. "I'm sorry, baby. I had no idea it would be repeated and trust me, I will be having a discussion with them about confidentiality." I give Alice my death stare.

"I'm sorry Bella, it slipped out once and he made me tell him. It won't happen again. I am so sorry. I will talk to Jasper too." She says apologetically.

"So, Edward, I called the contractor and I have an… I mean, Alice and I have an appointment with him next week. Is there anything I should know about him?" Jasper asks, trying to change the subject I suspect.

"No, not really. He's really good with changes. But it really helps to know what you want going in to this whole thing so it would behoove you and Alice to sit down and go over your want and don't want list." Edward suggests to him.

"Hey Jazzie, can I sit in that meeting too? I want to talk to him about starting my house and if he can do both at the same time or if I need to come in after you. I would like to get a feel for how he operates." Emmett asks.

Edward and I look at each other again and suppress more snickers at the nickname. Poor Jasper, he won't live this name down now that Emmett has a hold of it.

"I can help too, Emmett. I oversaw the construction on my house so I have a little experience as well." Rosalie pipes in eager to help any way she can.

"Of course you can Rosie-girl, of course you can." Emmett says pulling Rosalie in close to him. They are so sweet together.

"Hey guys, since Bella and I have our house already built, we aren't needed for this conversation so I'm taking her on a tour and drive around Napa." Edward says, winking as he gets up from his seat.

I look at the girls' expressions at what Edward just said about 'our house' and our mouths drop open simultaneously at the comment.

"We will meet you at Froggy's at 5:00." He says as he takes my hand and we hop in the little Hummer and head for his house.

Once we pull up to the garage, I notice a sleek and sexy looking black convertible waiting with the doors open for us. Unfortunately, the weather is still a little chilly for the top to be taken off, but hopefully, one day soon we can. I would love to ride in this thing with the sun on my face.

"Shit, Edward. How many cars do you have? One for every day of the week?" I ask, astonished. "What is this one?" I am looking at another beautiful sleek black sports car.

"It's a Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster. I bought it for fun stuff like what we are doing today. So get in and enjoy the ride baby." He says as Billy appears out of nowhere and helps me in then shuts the door.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Anywhere we want, baby." He answers. "The day is ours. I thought we could start with a visit to some of the neighboring wineries and then I could show you around town. We can drive into the city if you have anything that you need to do there. We just need to be back by 4:30 to meet up with the kids." He says smiling.

"I don't have a need to return home right now, so no need to drive to the city and I will follow you anywhere Edward, I'm along for the ride." I say, laying my head back on the seat looking out at the scenery.

After we enjoy a tour of the surrounding area and vineyards, Edward takes me around town, just like he said. After a beautiful drive, we arrive at Froggy's and the others are already there playing a game of pool.

"Remember, Bella, I only want to stay for a little while because I need to get you home. This need I have for you is insatiable, baby." He says quietly into my ear. I look up at him smiling, wanting nothing more than to be alone with this man.

"Okay kids, move over there's a new sheriff in town and I'm here to take you all down." I say, rubbing my hands together as I walk over to the cues to select the perfect 12 ounce straight-as-I-can-find stick.

I look over my shoulder and Edward is observing me, nearly laughing at my behavior, but little does he know, I'm going to take his ass down. I pour myself a mug of beer from the pitcher, chug it down and ask who wants to play me. The girls know not to raise their hand.

"I'm your huckleberry." Edward says slyly.

"Tombstone." I say with a laugh at his movie line reference.

I offer him the break and bend over to rack the balls, giving him a peek at my cleavage in an effort to break his concentration. I glance at him to see if he falls for it and yep, he can't ignore my show. I up the ante some by removing my hoodie and exposing my tight v-neck t-shirt. Oh yeah, he's a looker.

After he breaks, he manages to sink a solid into the pocket but misses on his second shot. I walk around the table, checking out my options, making eye contact with Edward as I move. Perfect.

"Ah, my Precious." I say after finding a good shot right in front of Edward and bend over, giving him a nice view of the ass he loves to fondle in the process.

"Lord of the Rings." He says of my movie reference. I smile at him and nod.

After sinking 4 balls, I miss on my fifth shot and its Edward's turn again. I turn, ignoring him, and walk over to pour another mug of beer and start talking to the girls.

"He's watching your every move, Bella." Alice says. "I don't know if he's watching the game or your ass though." She giggles. "Why are you taking it easy on him? Why don't you just clean the table?"

"Aww Alice. What fun would that be? Plus, I don't want to do that to him in front of his brothers. Em would never shut up if I did." I say.

I peek over at Edward and he misses his third shot so I repeat my strategy. After several shots we are down to two balls each on the table. It's now Edward's turn so I up the ante again and start fanning myself by pulling my shirt away from my breasts to cool them down, blowing down my shirt. Edward walks over and looks down my shirt while I do this, moaning at the view.

"You are a cock tease, Bella." He says, and then lowers his sexy lips to mine.

After his failed attempt to sink a ball, I finish the game and drink another glass of cold frosty beer.

"You little hussy hustler, you." He says, chuckling. "I know what you are about now and you won't be winning again." He threatens. I giggle and wrap my arms around his torso, hugging him.

"It was fun while it lasted though." I say. "Hey, what time is it? Too early to bail out of here?" I ask, lining his lip with my finger.

"No. It's 8:30 and I'm ready to take you home."

"Yes, I'm actually tired and can use a rest before the big prom date tomorrow." I grin up at him.

"Ah yes, the dinner. I'm so happy you are going with me, Bella. I wasn't looking forward to going at all and now that you will be with me, it will make it more enjoyable."

"It's all about the dress for me and I haven't even seen it yet." I say to him.

"Hey Alice, what about my dress? Tell me about it." I ask her.

"Oh no, Bella. You will have to wait. But, trust me, you will not be disappointed. You will be the most beautiful Cinderbella there." I gasp at her.

"Okay, that's it! I am never telling you anything ever again!" I say to her. "Clearly you have lost your filter and the ability to keep the Honey Badger confidence. You are grounded, missy." I say and turn to Rosalie, "Rose, I have told this traitor something in confidence and she has broken the rule not once, but twice in one night by divulging a secret and then using it against me. That is a heinous crime and she is grounded from any further juicy gossip until further notice." I say to Rosalie, but look at Alice. Clearly she is heartbroken but she must be punished.

"Ah Bella, come on." She says pleading.

"Nope. You have Jazzie now. You don't need us anymore." I say grinning, giving her a hug. "Until further notice Mary Alice."

I turn and walk toward Edward, asking if he is ready to go home.

"I love the sound of that baby."

"What's that, lover?"

"You asked me if I was ready to go home. I want you to think of me as your home." He says.

"Goodnight you guys. See you around the ranch tomorrow." Edward says, taking my hand and leading me out the door. I look over my shoulder at Alice and she is visibly hurt. Darn! I will talk to her tomorrow.

"I think you have broken little Alice's heart, Bella." Edward says, looking at me as he opens my door for me.

"I know. But she did break one of our cardinal rules. We do not tell our secrets and she told Jasper and then the two of them used that against us. Well, that is not allowed." I'm kind of pissed actually. "I will talk to her tomorrow about it."

Once we get back to Edward's, he pulls into the garage space and I look around and see four cars and three motorcycles. I get all tingly when I think about seeing Edward on one of those black Harley's. I glance down and can see that he is ready for me and my mouth waters in anticipation.

"Do you like what you see, Bella?" He asks me when I realize I have been busted staring at his crotch.

"Oh, hell yeah." I say in response.

"Let's go get you an up close and personal view of it then, shall we?"

Oh, hell yeah!

We actually run across the courtyard to the house and as soon as we get inside the door he lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He starts to devour my mouth, never breaking contact as he expertly maneuvers the stairs to his bedroom, all the while kissing me.

We stumble into his closed door and I reach down to open it, trying not to break our kiss while bending over. We are laughing into each other's mouths still trying not to break our kiss when we finally make it inside his room.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Edward yells, dropping me to my feet.

"What in the mother fucking hell are you doing here?" He says to Tanya who is perfectly posed in his bed, naked.

"Eddieeeee, come on, you know we always spend the night together before the dinner. Was that supposed to change?" She whines. "Who is this, Eddie? Why are you bringing someone else to our bed?"

Edward and I look at each other and at the very same moment we begin to snicker and then it turns into full raucous laughter. We laugh so hard I have to find tissues for our eyes. It takes us, literally, five minutes to stop laughing. But every time we look at her we burst into more laughter. I can't stop. Edward is the first to get control as he picks up his house phone and calls Billy. While he is talking to him, I walk over to the other side of the bed and suggest that if she wants to save what little dignity she has left, she better get dressed and leave now.

"Who the fuck are you to tell me to leave?" She says hatefully.

"Well, actually I am Edward's girlfriend so I don't know if that authorizes me to kick you out, which I'm not doing by the way. But like I said, it was just a suggestion in case you wanted to save some sort of dignity. You can do what you want." I say as I turn and walk toward Edward.

"Tanya, I don't know what to say to you at this point. There has been so much that has happened these past few weeks, this is almost minor in comparison. But. Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. My. Bed!" He yells at her and I jump.

"I'm sorry, baby." He says kissing my forehead pulling me close to him.

I hear Billy run up the stairs with Rebecca and they both skid to a stop upon seeing Tanya sitting in Edward's bed with nothing on but a sheet.

"Billy, tomorrow I want you to remove this bed from my sight. You can have it or give it away to charity. Would you bring the other king from the fourth guestroom in here until Bella chooses another one she wants? Bella and I will sleep in the guestroom tonight because I'll be damned if I will allow my girl to sleep in this bed now that it has been tainted by this trash."

I watch as Edward picks up Tanya's bag and removes her keys. He takes his own keys and compares his to hers removing any key that is alike off of her key ring; there are three.

"I thought Angie had my locks changed today?" He says to Billy and Rebecca.

"They didn't have the right lock to fit your custom doors in the front. They have to be special ordered." Billy says nervously.

I watch Tanya's reaction to what is going on and notice she is not affected by any of this. Instead she is staring coldly at me. She gets out of the bed and walks over to me and Edward steps closer to my side.

"We aren't done, Edward." She says.

"Yes we are, Tanya. You have entered my office and used my computer and now my bedroom without permission or authorization. You are a security risk from this point onward and are no longer welcome on Cullen property."

She stares at him dumbfounded.

"Billy, escort this person out of my house and make sure she is off Cullen property." Edward says to him.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Cullen."

Billy picks Tanya's clothes off of Edward's valet chair and hands them to her at the same time that Rebecca rips the sheet off her body and rolls it up in a ball and throws it in the small garbage can to make a statement. Tanya screams and tries to cover herself and I giggle, trying to cover my laugh. I watch Edward and he has turned his back to her. Tanya slips into her red lacy bra and thong panties, walking toward Edward. I step in and place myself in front of her.

"Don't even think about it, bitch. Billy get this whore out of here." I say to him.

Billy grabs her clothes off the floor and takes her by the arm and physically removes her from the house.

"Damn, babe, that was hot. You getting all jealous and protective and shit." He says, and then kisses me, wrapping his tongue around mine.

"Let's get the things we need for tonight and go to the guest room. I don't want to be in here smelling that thing's perfume." He says.

I get a change of clothes and we move down the hall to the guest room which is as large as his master en suite.

I watch him as he shuts the door and walks toward me.

"Now, where were we Ms. Swan?"

A/N: Wow, Tanya is a little stinky skank here isn't she. Oh, but I wonder what will happen next. Show me the love my little pretty.
