Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer of Twilight fame, greedily owns it all. I just want to own Edward and she is still ignoring me.

A/N…I am having RL stress this weekend so thanks to my betas for putting up with me in rushing this one out the door.

Thanks to all of you that voted on The Lemonade Stand. I deeply appreciate it and am honored considering this was my second nomination. Thanks a bunch.

Welcome back Shrimp Cock-tail

CHAPTER 44

Bella

"Belllllaaaaaa." I hear him crooning in my ear. "Wake up, Bella." He says again, drawing me out of a deep sleep.

"Edward, what?" I say, feeling irritated at being woken up.

"It's late and the girls are calling for you to go shopping." He says licking around my ear. I swat at him like an annoying fly.

"Tell them we'll go tomorrow." I grab my pillow and throw it over my head, drowning out that annoying sound.

"Belllllaaaaaaa." He says picking up the corner of my pillow apparently so that I will hear him more clearly.

"Fuck, Edward." I say, pulling the blanket over my pillow, hoping that will drown him out.

Then he goes in for the kill. He slips his hands down the back of my panties and then slips his fingers inside of my body.

I smile.

"Belllaaaaaaa." He croons again, running his finger across my most sensitive spot, reminding me I have to pee.

"Okay, Edward. I'm up. I'm awake. There. Are you happy?" I say jumping out of bed as I stomp to my bathroom. I pee, I brush my hair and I look at myself.

"You are one bitchy bitch." I say to myself in the mirror and set down the brush, take off my t-shirt and panties and walk out of the bathroom to where Edward lays curled up in the fetal position under the blankets.

"Edwaaaard." I croon in his ear. "Wake up, Edwaaaaard." I say again, licking his hear.

He swats me like an annoying fly. I smile and kiss his neck.

"Oh, baaaaybeeee, come on, Bella wants some lovin'." I whisper into his ear as I reach around and wrap my fingers around his totally hard erection.

He jerks around and grabs hold of me, throwing me down on the bed before he straddles me, holding my arms to the side of my head.

"Want to play, do you?" He growls.

"No, stop it. I don't want to play." I say, trying to buck him off me.

"Well I do. I want to be planted inside you, woman. All the way inside you." He says, bending down to kiss me.

"Then I want to make you cum so loud you scream and wake the neighbors." He says, licking behind my ear.

"You wouldn't dare." I continue to buck in a futile attempt to throw him off me.

"Oh, like hell I wouldn't." As he enunciates the 't' he forces my legs apart with his feet and quickly buries his hard cock in my soaking wetness and growls at the feel of it.

"Wrap your fucking legs around me, wench." He says as he pumps his body inside mine.

"Yes, Master Cullen." I say shyly and do as I'm told.

"I want you to fuck me now because this is the last you get of me."

"Yes, Master Cullen." I say again, and move my hips matching his, hard and fierce.

"That's right you simple milk maid, milk me for everything you've got." He growls in my ear.

I have to stifle a giggle at that one but I clench my inside muscles down on him and hold his hips and continue to accept his hard, deep thrusts. He wraps his arms under my knees pulling them up as far as he can get them as he fucks me as hard as he can.

"Oh, Master Cullen, you sure know how to fuck a maiden because I'm about ready to cum…" I say in raspy breaths. "Ohmygod, Edward… oh yes…"

"That's it, let me have it, Bella." He says, "Cum for me, baby, I can't hold it…"

"Now, baby, I'm cumming now." I gasp and wrap my arms around his shoulders holding him tight to me as I explode around him and I can feel myself clamp down over him.

"Bella…" I can feel him cum inside me and love the feel of him holding on to me as he does.

He gives me a few more thrusts as he empties himself into me and I shudder at how wonderful he feels. At how much I love him.

"I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you, baby." I say sweetly, kissing his lips and down his jaw.

"Well if that is how you apologize, I will piss you off every morning, sweetie." He smiles down into my eyes.

"No, seriously, Edward. I'm sorry. You are such a sweetheart to me and I was just grumpy. I think I need more sleep. I haven't had a good solid night's sleep and I really need it. I think tonight I'd like to stay home and relax and go to bed at a decent hour, okay?

"You bet, baby. I will have Rebecca make us some good comfort food, we will just hang out here at home and watch a movie, just us and we will go to bed early, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you, Edward."

"And no sex. I'm tired of you using me for sex. I'm feeling like a sex toy, so knock that shit off." He says, kissing the side of my mouth and walking in all his naked splendor to his bathroom.

"And quit staring at my ass!" She shouts before he slams the door.

I couldn't help but giggle and jump out of bed and head toward my bathroom. I smile, feeling totally and thoroughly fucked and I like it.

~BD~

"So where do we go first?" Alice asks.

"You know that Richard is going to drive you today, right girls?" Edward asks as he walks around the corner from his office. I can't help but stare at him as he looks so beautiful this morning.

"Why Edward, you are positively glowing this morning." Rosalie says after seeing his two rosy cheeks.

"I am, sister. I am. My woman took care of me good this morning." He over-shares and walks out the back door.

"Stop by to see me before you leave, baby." He says before shutting the door.

I look up and see Alice, Rosalie and Rebecca looking at me. As if I would ever share the details with them.

"What?" I ask, my voice elevating about three octaves.

"We have never seen Edward look so…so…rode hard and put away wet." Rosalie laughs.

"ROSE!" I shout, totally embarrassed.

"Well, it's true." Rebecca says and we all snap around in her direction.

"Okay, that's enough." I grin. "Let's go shopping."

After stopping to see our boys, we climb in the car with Richard driving and head toward the city in search of 'back to school' clothes for me.

I actually have a good time shopping for shoes then stopping for coffee, then more shopping for jeans then stopping for lunch then more shopping for dresses, and then we finally are too exhausted to shop anymore and we head back home.

"You know, I haven't taken any time to look at your houses. Why don't we do that when we get home? I really want to see them." I say when my phone rings.

"Hey baby." I say when I see his name on my phone.

"Hey Bella-boo. When you coming home? I miss you." I love it when he whines.

"We are on our way home now but do you have some time to go through the new houses with me? I haven't seen them and I promised the girls I would go with them to tour their places."

"Sure, have Richard drop you off at Emmett's first and we will meet you there. But Bella, remember, make no dinner plans. It's just us tonight at home, alright?" He reminds me.

"Alright, Edward. Thank you. I love you and I'll see you in a bit."

"I love you too, Bella." He says before he hangs up.

"We are meeting them at your house first, Rose, then on to Alice's." I say, smiling at them. Soon they will be living on the property with me and my circle will be complete.

"Who would have thought our lives would turn out like this?" Alice asks, looking at Rosalie and me. "We are going to be sisters."

I look at both of them and they see the forlorn look on my face.

"Hey you guys, it will happen for me. I am certain of it. I just told him I wasn't ready. And as much as I love him, I just don't feel I deserve him yet. But I will. I just need to forgive myself first and I can't do that yet."

"He's happy, Bella. I saw him after you left and I see him now, and he's happy. He is very much in love with you and he won't care if you think you deserve him or not, which you do by the way. But I can see why you might be mad at yourself and that you are slowly forgiving yourself. Your first step was accepting his request that you move in with him. He only wants you to be with him. He is happy you are back. And that office is killer isn't it?" Rosalie says, her eyes huge at the mention of my new study.

"I KNOW! I can't believe he did that for me. He wants me to be his in-house counsel when I graduate. I don't know if I am going to limit myself to just his counsel but I told him I would think about it." I say cutting Rosalie off before she speaks.

"I still need to think about it, Rose. Your father is counting on me working at his firm so I need some time to think about this for sure. Don't mention this to Eric, Rosalie, please? I haven't decided yet. Okay?"

"No problem." Rosalie smiles reassuringly. "Bella, once you graduate, I want you to be my attorney as well. I don't want to pay just anyone. I had always wanted you to be my attorney. My dad knows too much of my business as it is and plus he is starting to charge too much." She grins.

"Really, Rosie? You would want me to be your attorney?" I ask, shocked that she would even consider it.

"Absolutely, Bella. Why not? And I bet once the valley hears you are hanging your shingle in the area, I bet they will want you to do a little bit for them as well. I know there may be conflicts of interest here and there, but you never know." She says.

"That sure makes me feel better, Rosalie. I just didn't want to limit myself, you know? Maybe I might be able to take Edward up on his offer after all." I sit back and take a deep, cleansing breath.

I text Edward and tell him we are almost there and that I will have Richard drop us off. Once we pull into the driveway of Emmett and Rosalie's I am flabbergasted at how beautiful their place is. It's huge.

"How many bedrooms does this castle have, Rosalie?" I ask, looking up at the front of their home.

"Seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms."

"Holy shit! Let's go in."

We all take the tour of Emmett and Rosalie's and I was happy to learn that not only is Rosalie helping design and decorate the house, she is also contributing to the overall building cost. She insisted, considering she will be half owner and can afford it. She is building her dream home and it is beautiful that's for sure. I can see lots of children here.

We then drive over to Jasper and Alice's place and it is much different than Rosie's. Rosalie's is more contemporary in design and Alice's is more 'picket fence'. It resembles more of a farm house with three floors and a wraparound porch. It has only five bedrooms and seven baths with a detached five car garage. It is very Alice and is simple, yet elegant. I feel very comfortable inside their home and I know that they will be very happy here.

"We should be getting our Certificate of Occupancy any day now, otherwise I would be living here already. I have most of the furniture already picked out or ordered and it will be delivered as soon as we get the go ahead to move in. I love it here." Alice says, spinning around in the living room.

"I love it here too, Alice." I say, hugging her.

"I love it too, Alice. You have quite the knack for decorating. Maybe you should help me do mine." Rosalie says sincerely.

"I love it too, Alice." We all turn around at the same time and see Jasper smiling at Alice as he walks over to her and takes her in his arms.

"I wish I could have helped you guys. I missed out on all the fun." I look at Edward and he has a frown on his face.

"Hey, why don't we order pizza and hang out? Maybe watch a movie?" Emmett suggests.

"No, not tonight." Edward says sharply and says we need to go. I look up at the girls and they are silently asking me what's wrong with him. I shrug my shoulders that I have no clue. "You ready to head home, Bella?"

"Yes, let's go baby." I say wrapping my arm around his waist.

"Okay, girls, I will see you all later. Bye guys. I love your new homes. Congratulations again." I wave as I look over my shoulder.

The ride home is quiet and I'm not going to say anything. I doubt he will talk anyway. When we get home he goes straight to his office and shuts the door. Loudly. I go to our bedroom and put my purchases away in my closet and decide to take a hot bath before dinner.

"Do you feel like you've missed out?" He says quietly from the doorway.

I can do nothing but stare at him. "I do feel that I missed out, seeing how much fun they are having, but I don't regret it." I say, being honest.

"I don't know what to do, Bella." He says, getting down on his knees next to the tub. "I don't want you to be unhappy."

"Oh, baby, I'm not unhappy. How can I be when I have you?" I say, touching his face with soapy bubbles.

"I don't want you to miss out on anything." He says, playing with the bubbles on my breasts.

"Edward, it is only by coincidence that they are experiencing what they are. Your home was already built. Theirs weren't. You have a beautiful home and it's only by coincidence that it was built before you knew me. You built it in preparation to marry Leah." You would think I had offered to sell his first born by the look on his face. He had panic written all over his face and he gets up and leaves.

Oh, God. What did I say?

I hurry and finish bathing and slip on a pair of yoga pants and a short sleeved tee. I put my hair in a high ponytail and run downstairs to find Edward. He isn't in his office. He isn't in the house at all.

"Rebecca, do you know where Edward is?" I ask her.

"He said he was going out for a walk and he would be back for dinner." She replies.

"When is dinner?"

"An hour." She answers.

I wish I knew what was going through his head. He's the one that stressed communication when one is troubled. I hope he talks to me when he gets back. I decide to hang out in my new study and work on the homework assignment Matt gave me. Once I get that finished, I go over to my soft leather couch and lay down to read a magazine. The next thing I know, Edward is waking me for dinner.

"Hey." He says sitting on the floor next to me.

"Hey." I return, running my fingers through his beautiful hair. "Are you going to talk about it?" I ask.

He sits quietly, looking down at the floor like a lost little boy.

"I feel like you are forcing me to hold back, Bella. It's like I can't be myself around you." He says, so sadly.

"Oh my God, Edward." I say, tears welling up in my eyes. I'm hurting him. Unintentionally I am hurting him. "How? Please tell me." I say sitting up scared to death. "Am I losing you, Edward?"

"Oh, shit. NO! Bella, no." He says, pulling me down onto his lap and holding me tightly to him.

"Then what? How? Tell me." I beg, holding his face in my hands.

"I know that if the time came and I asked you to marry me you would say no and that is killing me. You are telling me not to ask you."

"Edward, baby, I love you so damned much. I just don't think that I deserve to be given the honor of being your fiancée, your wife yet. I did something horrible and wrong when I accused you of cheating on me." He blanches when I say that. "Oh, I know you didn't sleep with her, but I thought you coveted her and in essence that is a form of cheating. I know now I was wrong and it was dishonorable of me to have that lack of trust in you. So you see? I just don't feel that I deserve you yet. But I am getting better. I need to earn your trust again." I explain, hoping he understands.

"I know what you are saying, Bella. I know what it is you feel. But it is all self-inflicted. I have forgiven you. I have forgiven myself. You aren't the only one that made a mistake that day. I knew I shouldn't have been there. She asked me and my heart told me not to go. I told myself 'Bella wouldn't like this' but I went anyway. But she was asking me for forgiveness and I believe in forgiveness. I am in love with only you and I thought it was safe to forgive her. What I did wrong was to let her touch me. I knew the moment she put her hand on me was the very moment you walked in the door and for you, it probably appeared as if her hand was there for hours. But it wasn't. It was a split second and it was that split second you walked in the room." He rubs my hand with his thumb, telling me his story.

"But it was wrong for me to be there with her. In that restaurant. Eating the same meal I had with you just days before. I felt I had betrayed you. But you see Bella, I forgive myself. It was a series of unfortunate incidents. I forgive myself and I forgive you. We are here together now. We still love each other. No begging was involved, we never stopped. We will always love each other. I just need you to forgive yourself, soon. Please."

"Oh, Edward. Thank you for that. You have such a good soul." I tell him and kiss his lips, holding him to me.

"But now, I have just realized that I am asking you to live with me in a house that was designed by Leah. And that you are watching your friends enjoy making their home theirs. You have missed out on all that. How insensitive of me is that?!"

"This house was designed by Leah?" I don't know how I feel about that. Jealous? Angry? Maybe a little bit, but it is Edward's house and Edward is my home.

"Yes. And because of that I have come to a decision." He says sitting up straight and me with him. "We are gutting the entire inside of this house and making it our own. If you want to knock down walls, add more space, we can knock the whole thing down for that matter. I want you to be fucking happy here." He says holding my face in his hands.

"I am happy here, Edward. It's where you are." I see his face change. He softens when I say that. I see tears well up in his eyes.

"And I am happy wherever you are, Bella." His voice cracking just a little bit and he holds me to him.

"I want you to marry me, Bella. Don't you understand that?" He pleads, holding me tight to his chest. "I have loved you from the moment I saw you. I will love you until my last living breath. It will only ever be you. I need you to marry me, Bella." He touches his forehead to mine and I know he means this.

How in the world did I ever get so lucky as to find him? Out of this entire planet earth, how is it that he should drive up beside me that day to look inside my car? Why not the car in front of me, or behind me? But mine. And now he is pleading for me to marry him.

"Yes." I whisper and his eyes instantly flash to mine and I see a slow smile creep on his face. As if he didn't hear me correctly and he's afraid to be happy. So I smile at him and throw my arms around him and we stay that way until Rebecca knocks on the door, announcing dinner.

"Well. That's that then. I don't have a ring for you and it's time to eat." He says, bouncing up from the floor and taking me with him.

"Let's not say anything right now, okay? Let's let Em and Rosie and Jasper and Alice have their time to shine right now. Is that okay?" I ask him.

I watch him as he mulls this over. I know he's not going to be happy about keeping this bottled up.

"Only until I can find you the perfect ring." He says. "That's the best I can promise you."

"Okay. Deal. But we are so gutting this house." I say laughing as we walk arm in arm to dinner.

After dinner is over, Edward takes me back into my study and sitting on the desk is two giftwrapped boxes.

"Edward, what have you done now?" I ask grinning up at him.

"Just open them." He says pretending to scowl at me.

I sit next to him on the couch as he puts the flat box on my lap urging me to open it. I rip off the paper and open the lid on the gift box. I am stunned to find a pair of black chaps with a matching leather jacket. He has also thrown in a pair of gloves that look just like his.

"I can't wait to see you go commando in these, Bella." He teases me, kissing my cheek.

I open the second box and find a Bell helmet that's just my size and matches his. I love the fact that he wants us to match as we drive down the road. I reach over and hug him tight.

"Helmets aren't required in California, but for the highway I want us to wear them, okay?" He asks, trying the helmet on me to see if it fits properly. "When we get on the country roads we can take them off and stash them until we need them again."

He checks out the helmet and adjusts the strap just to make sure it fits. Once he is assured that it does, he takes it off and puts it back in the box.

"Come on, baby, it's getting late and you said you wanted to get some rest. I thought we could read a little bit before lights out. How does that sound?"

He picks up the boxes and carries them upstairs, putting them on the table in my dressing room. He then turns on the bedside lamps and some soothing music down low and we climb into bed, fluffing our pillows for support while we read.

I read about a case in Napa Valley where a winery falsified their transportation documents and it was found that there were drugs inside the bottles. If that won't put you to sleep nothing will, but I found it totally fascinating.

I look over at Edward and he is reading about home remodeling. I smile. I think it bothers him more that I am living in the house that Leah designed than it does me.

~BD~

I walk out of my dressing room in my chaps over my skinny jeans and I see Edward's jaw dislocate and hit the floor. I turn around and act like I sat in something gross.

"What?" I say trying to see the back of my butt. I know I'm teasing him and I'm doing a good job of it.

"I am so going to fuck you in nothing but these, baby. These and those fuck me strappy shoes with the red soles." He says, sauntering up to me and placing a butt cheek in each hand before grabbing tight then lowering his mouth as his tongue invades mine. "I can see every man passing us just to get a glimpse of biker-Bella's ass." He says in my mouth. "But it's mine." He says, smacking it hard.

"Yes. It's only yours." I say, squealing.

I walk back into my closet and fetch my Doc Marten biker boots which complement the ensemble. I must admit, I do look good.

"You ready, Mrs. Cullen?" I stop in my tracks when he says that and I spin around to face him.

"Um…"

"What? You don't want to be called Mrs. Cullen? You prefer Ms. Swan?"

"No, it just sounds strange is all. I just never thought I'd be addressed with a Mrs. in front of it."

"I was testing it out. I like the sound of it. How about you?" He asks, peaking his head out of his closet to look at my reaction.

I toss it around in my head 'Bella Cullen… Isabella Cullen, Esq… Mrs. Isabella Cullen… Isabella Swan-Cullen.'

"Bella, you're killing me here." He says, impatiently waiting for my response.

"I love it, baby. Mrs. Isabella Cullen. I will be honored to take your name, Edward."

His face lights up like tractor beam headlights. He's so cute when he resembles a little boy. Then it dawns on me. I will most likely have a little Edward running around some day. I smile at that and he sees me glow at the thought.

"What? What are you thinking about that brings that beautiful smile to your face?" He asks, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Little Edwards." I say walking toward the door. "Let's go, they're waiting for us downstairs."

I look at Rosalie as I run down the stairs and see her beautiful deep grape colored leathers. She is one beautiful woman and even sexier in that tight leather get up.

"Bella, are you eyefucking my fiancée'?" Emmett asks, folding his arms over his chest grinning at me.

"Bet your ass I am. She looks too sexy for her shirt." I walk up to her to touch her jacket then run my fingers down her cleavage. I look at Emmett and lick my lips. He is just too easy.

"Rosalie, that is an awesome outfit. Leave it to you to cause accidents up and down the highway."

"I don't know, Bella, your little cherry ass peeking out of those chaps makes you look pretty fuckable yourself." Rosalie says looking at my ass. Rubbing her hands across each cheek. I know this is turning Emmett on something fierce.

"We may have to let Emmett watch someday." I tease. He nearly has a coronary. Rosalie and I laugh, then stop and look at him and raise an eyebrow taunting him.

"That's the only time I'd let you cheat on me, baby." Emmett responds. "You and Bella and I get to watch."

"The fuck you will." Edward says taking hold of my waist and pulling me away from Emmett and Rosalie.

"Where is Alice? I want to see the sweet number she will be wearing." As soon as I say that, I hear their bike pull up and Alice comes bouncing in wearing skin tight black leather pants with a dark chocolate brown leather jacket that crosses over her chest buckling down at a right angle. She also has a pair of knee high buckled Doc Marten biker boots similar to mine, but mine are mid-calf.

"Alice, baby, you look fucking hot in that. How far did you get out of the house before Jasper pulled you back inside for a quickie?" Emmett asks, looking over at Jasper's blush.

"Oh, Emmie, when will you learn? I don't fuck and tell." She says spinning around, bouncing up to kiss Jasper's cheek.

"Let's get this show on the road. I want to go for a ride." I say, tucking my credit card, cash and cell phone in my jacket pocket.

"Bella?" Rebecca calls from the kitchen door. "I have made a small picnic lunch for the six of you if you decide to stop somewhere along the way." She offers three boxes just the right size to fit in one of the saddle bags on the bikes.

"Here is a bottle of wine and corkscrew to open it as well."

She has thought of everything. I reach out to give her a hug of thanks and I slip it into my backpack. Edward attaches the backpack to the tail of the bike behind me and climbs on and we are off on our adventure.

This is what I've been waiting for. Wrapping my arms around my man, my fiancée, and feel the freedom that comes with riding a bike. I run my hand down between his legs and gently tug him back toward me. He immediately stops the bike and his brothers follow suit.

"Bella, baby, as much as I love you touching me like that, you have no idea how painful it is getting a hard on in these tight jeans and leathers. I need to ask you to refrain." He says, taking my helmet off for me then taking his own off. I look around and the other girls are getting a similar talking to I think. I giggle and then Edward reaches in for a tongue invading, moan filled, panty searing kiss.

"There, hopefully that will hold you over until we can stop somewhere where I can take care of your needs, Mrs. Cullen." He throws his head back and laughs. "God I love the sound of that." And he puts his helmet back on leaving me to do the same.

I look back at my best friends and I can tell they are laughing and we give each other an air high five for a job well done. Not one of us lasted more than fifteen minutes before we needed to feel our boy's package on the open road.

A/N: So there. Bella said "yes". All three couples are now engaged. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, so let me know what you think like I know you will. Thanks to Jenny again for the nomination at The Lemonade Stand. You love the story and you never fail to let me know that.
