Bella POV
Edward Anthony Masen, a nosy detective, along with his trusty side-kick Emmett McCarty have decided to come to our humble abode and ask a few questions about Nakamura's terrible death. Carlisle has decided to invite them to our party, the reason for his decision still goes unknown. I was simply ordered to be outside by the pool at 3 P.M. sharp. Well it was only 12 so I decided to go out and shop, of course James had to tag along. Carlisle hated for me to be alone, except for my missions. It's not a matter of trust, it's the simple fact that he wants me to appear as harmless as possible. Having James with me when he is not able to accompany me makes it look like that I need to be guarded from the dangers of Los Angeles. Also because Carlisle is a famous man and paparazzi tends to get pretty annoying at times. So I'm stuck with James, he's a fairly quiet man...around Carlisle and Alice. Once he has me alone, his true colors show and I hate it with a passion. He envies Carlisle, he has power, money and me, the three things James would slaughter for. He's expressed his feeling to me several times and it angered me at first, but now it doesn't bother me because I know he can get the first two, but he'll never have me. He's tried his hardest to get to me, but he's hopeless, although I do enjoy his persistence.
I walked inside the small boutique with James behind me.
"You can go sit, I don't need you breathing down my neck," I said to James.
I went to the section with the dresses and went through the racks. I pulled a few dresses off the rack that I thought looked pretty. I picked up some jeans, a few tops and a couple of shorts. After killing an hour in the store, I purchased my clothes and left with James in tow.
"As much as I enjoyed you trying out those clothes, I would love watching you try out some lingerie," he whispered in my ear as I walked to the car to put my bags inside.
"As fun as that sounds, I only go to the lingerie store when Carlisle is with me and since your not Carlisle, I won't be modeling anything that belongs under my clothes."
"Your such a cock tease," he growled.
I walked away switching my hips teasingly. "So I've been told."
"You'll be mine one day."
"Whatever floats your boat," I got into the car.
"And when your mine, I'm gonna fuck you so hard, you won't know how to walk," he hissed in my ear.
"Drive James."
He only sneered before pulling off and heading back home. I could always tell Carlisle how James felt about him, but what good would that do? And the person that takes James position could probably be even worse. So I kept it to myself, I knew that James couldn't hurt me, I could snap him half, I was stronger, faster, better. I was made to fight, before I was turned I trained to become the weapon I am today. So there was no way in hell James could ever harm me. My phone rang and it was Carlisle.
"Swan."
"Alice said you bought a dress that I would truly enjoy seeing you in, perhaps we should go out tonight," Carlisle's sultry tone made my panties wet.
I rolled my eyes when I heard James inhale deeply and growl.
"I guess I'll have to ask Alice what I'll be wearing," I said back.
"Don't worry about your lingerie, I'll be picking that out for you."
"Why so you can take it off later on, I might as well wear nothing."
"As tempting as that sounds, I want you to model it for me first before I snatch it from your body."
I saw James shift uncomfortably, I looked over at him and saw the tent in his pants. I smirked and snaked my hand over to his thigh. He stiffened and I smiled, my hand reaching and higher.
"When you get here, I need to speak with you."
"I'll see you soon," I hung up. "Did you enjoy that?"
"Damn it Bella." He groaned.
The house came into view and as he came to a stop I drew my hand back punched him hard in his balls. He screamed out and I laughed.
"Your so pathetic," I got out the car and grabbed my bags.
I stepped inside the house and went straight to Carlisle's office, dropping my bags on the floor. I sat in the chair in front of his, my leg resting on the arm rest. He looked up and arched his eyebrow at my sitting position. I only shrugged and smiled.
"You wanted to talk?"
"Yes, I'm going to need you to relax on the missions for awhile."
"Awhile as in two years, a week..."
"I don't know yet, but for now you can relax."
"Good, I haven't spent much time with you and I need to visit some friends."
"How do you feel about marriage?" Carlisle asked out of the blue.
"I've never thought about marriage," This time my eyebrow arched.
He stood up and walked over to me, he pulled him from the chair and sat me on his desk.
"We've been together for forty-five years and not once have you thought about marriage?" his hands grabbed my ass and pulled me closer to his body.
"I've been too busy with my assignments to worry about it."
"Well, I love you and I think it's about that time we should think about it."
If my heart was alive, it would be beating furiously in my chest. He was asking me to marry him? I loved Carlisle, I would kill the whole world for him, I would fly to the moon and back, but marriage? I was enjoying the relationship we had. I was comfortable, we were happy, well I am.
"You don't have to answer me now, think about it. I'm giving you all the time you need," He kissed me softly, but it quickly turned rough and passionate.
I loved what this man could do to me, he had me baffled one minute and in the next he made me horny. I moaned into his mouth when I felt his erection press into my core.
"Ahem," a voice came from the doorway.
James stood, face emotionless, but I knew how he truly felt. I kissed Carlisle's neck with my eyes glued to James.
"What do you need James?" Carlisle asked calmly.
"Alice said that you should be getting ready for your guests."
"Thank you James," Carlisle turned back to me.
"Don't worry, we'll continue this later tonight," I fixed his tie and collar.
"I'll keep you to your promise," he said.
"I never break my promises," I kissed him before he left.
He moved from in between my legs, my body already missing him. Alice strolled in right after he left.
"You knew and you didn't tell me," I hopped from the desk.
"I told you, it wouldn't be fun if I told you."
"What about the hot guy?"
"He's coming," she said going through my bags.
"Okay, so Carlisle just proposed...Are you catching my drift here?"
"I understand. How are you going to date the hot guy and Carlisle wants to get married."
"Good. Now Explain."
"Don't worry, you'll figure it out. Now come on, the guest will be arriving soon, we don't want anyone to see you until your grand entrance."
"I'll be in my room to change, I swear Alice if I lose Carlisle, I'll kill you,"
"You won't, relax."
"Lose Carlisle or Kill you?"
"Both."
Edward's POV
"This is going to be so fun! I can't believe you were invited to one of Carlisle's parties! I mean only the rich and famous get invited!" Tanya's excitement brung my mood down even more.
I couldn't believe Carlisle invited us either, Emmett and I only wanted to ask a few questions and next thing you know we are invited to his house for a party. We were told to bring our swim suits. I told Tanya about the invitation and she freaked out, calling all of her friends and bragging about it. She spent the whole week planning her outfit, wanting to outshine everyone. I had to admit she did look pretty, but if Isabella Swan was there, there was no way that she could outshine her. That woman hasn't left my mind for a whole minute. I have become obsessed with her, I wanted to know everything about her. I imagined what she would be like in real life, was she sweet and caring? Did she want kids? Was she funny? Was she smart? So many questions filled my head about this woman. I had to admit, I was just as anxious to go to this party as Tanya was, but for completely different reasons. As we pulled up in front of the large mansion, my heart began to beat faster in anticipation. I had to calm myself down before Tanya noticed and got suspicious. I parked the car in the grovel, leaving room for another car to park. It was a decent amount of vehicles already here and people were entering the through the large double doors of the home of Isabella Swan. Tanya looked herself over once more before she stepped out the car, she fixed her dress and fluffed her hair a bit. She walked ahead of me and I followed behind her.
"Edward!" Emmett's voice boomed behind me.
I stopped and waited for him to catch up to me, he patted me on the shoulder as his greeting.
"I can't wait to see Swan, I wonder what she'll be wearing, in my dreams she walked around with nothing on but a pair of heels."
If he only knew what I dreamt of.
"I'm pretty sure that was fun."
"It was, except for the part where Carlisle walked in on us in his room," he shuddered lightly.
We walked inside the mansion and we stood in amazement, the house was huge. A pair of double stairs greeted us, leading up to the second floor. The floor black marble, until you walking into the living room, the white plush carpet looked as if no one lived here. Black velvet furniture occupied the room with dark red throw pillows and curtains. The color reminded me of Isabella Swan's eyes. A large entertainment center stood against the cream colored walls.
"I could get used to this sort of life style," Emmett whispered in awe.
We made our into the next room which was the dining room, a large white dining table sat in the middle of the black room. The chairs matching the table, along with dishes that was perfectly set on the table. We continued until we made it outside in the backyard where everyone was. The back could be mistaken for a park, his property fenced off from the world. A large pool sat in the center, lawn chairs sitting around the sides. The large whirlpool sat off at the side. Once the wooden deck ended, a concrete path led through the deep green grass and to a the most magnificent garden ever created.
"Hello, you must be Detective Masen and Detective McCarty," a petite woman suddenly stood in front of us.
She was very beautiful, short dark hair that was curled loosely, her pale skin seemed to shine in the sun. She wore a deep green one piece bathing suit that tied around her neck. Her eyes were a golden color, they seemed inviting, unlike Isabella Swan's eyes.
"I'm Alice Cullen, Carlisle's daughter," she held out her hand Emmett took turns to shake it.
"Nice to meet you," we replied.
"My father will be out in awhile, he's talking to some of his guests, please enjoy yourself, we have food on the grill and side dishes in the kitchen, which is straight back when you go back into the house."
"Thanks, we'll be sure to remember that," I smiled at her.
She walked off and went to talk to the other guests.
"She's not that bad looking, you think Carlisle would let me?" Emmett said with a grin on his face.
"I wouldn't try it."
"Beer?" A waitress asked with a tray of beer asked.
"Thanks," I took one of the tray and took a swig.
Emmett took one and took a big gulp. "Look, Tanya seems to fit right in."
I looked over at Tanya who was laughing heartedly at something.
"Yea, I'm glad she's having fun, maybe she won't bug me as much," I mumbled.
"Yea, maybe," Emmett chuckled.
"Gentlemen! I'm glad you could make it!" Carlisle walked towards us in nothing but his swim shorts. He was pretty fit, lean yet fairly muscular.
"Thanks for inviting us," Emmett grinned while shaking his hand.
I shook his hand and smiled.
"Are you enjoying yourself so far?"
"Yes, you have a wonderful home," I commented.
"Thank you, I owe it to my Bella, she decorated the whole house with the help of my daughter of course," he explained. "Speaking of Bella, she should be out here any moment now."
My excitement grew at his words, Isabella Swan will be out here any moment. I finally get to see her in the flesh.
"I actually came to ask if you wouldn't mind waiting until the end of the party for your questions, you see I like to keep my private life... well private and the people around here have no problem spreading rumors around."
"We understand," Emmett nodded.
"Edward! I'm having such a splendid time!" Tanya wrapped her arms around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm glad, Carlisle this is my fiancee Tanya, Tanya this is..."
"Carlisle Cullen," Tanya cut me off.
She gave Carlisle a huge grin, giggling as he picked her hand up and kissed it. I rolled my eyes, even when I'm right here she shows her interest in another man.
"You have a beautiful woman," Carlisle smile and Tanya giggled some more.
"Thank you,"
"Shit," Emmett roughly elbowed me and nodded his head towards the house.
I looked up and my mind went blank, it felt as if everyone disappeared and it was only me and Isabella Swan. I watched her walk through the doors and outside, her face hidden by a sun hat, the large floppy edges covering her face. My eyes ventured down to her half naked body. The swell of her breast moving with each breath she took, the dark blue and beige monokini stuck on her like a second skin. I continued down following the thin piece of candy cane striped fabric that connected the suit. Her body was the perfect description of an hourglass. Her body curved like a winding road, her perfect pale skin glowing in the sun. Her hips swayed side to side as she walked with those wonderful legs that God gifted her with. Her heels clicked against the wooden deck as she made her way towards us. I expected so many reactions from when I finally would see her, but nothing prepared me for this. She finally lifted her head, her lips in her infamous smirk and her eyes covered by a pair of sunglasses. I couldn't look away, even when she looked up to at me, I didn't look away.
"Fuck," I said under my breath, her smirk turning into a knowing smile.
She finally stopped next to Carlisle, removing her sunglasses and hat, her long hair tumbling down her shoulders. She continued to smile at me, her crimson red eyes piercing mine. She looked away and up at Carlisle and her smile broadened. Her lips moved, she seemed to be saying something, but I didn't hear it. Carlisle responded back, leaning down to press his lips to hers. Everything came to a screeching halt, like a record skipping. I came out of my dream state, blinking a couple of times.
"Nice to meet you Emmett," she was shaking his hand.
I must've missed the beginning of the conversation.
"The pleasure is all mine," Emmett grinned big, giving her his signature smile, showing off his deep dimples.
"And this is Detective Edward Masen," Carlisle gestured to me.
"So you're the one who suspects my Carlisle of a horrible crime," she arched her perfect eyebrow at me.
"I'm just doing my job ma'am"
"Don't call me that, I'm still in my twenties, it's Bella," she shook my hand.
"Bella," I repeated.
"And this is his fiancee, Tanya."
"Hello Tanya, you are very cute!" Bella grinned.
Tanya tensed at her words and I had to keep from laughing. Cute?
"Thank you, your not so bad yourself," Tanya forced a smile.
"I try," Bella smiled.
They stared at each other for awhile, Bella arched her eyebrow as if daring Tanya to say something. Her smirk came after Tanya didn't say anything else.
"Carlisle is a good man, he wouldn't dream of harming another person," Bell continued looking away from Tanya and up at Emmett and I.
"I wouldn't say that about our Bella here, don't let the looks fool you," Carlisle joked.
Emmett laughed at his joke. "Isn't that with all women."
Carlisle chuckled at him.
"Our Bella here has a short- temper, but she won't tell you she's angry, she hides her emotions, but you'll know when you have pushed to far, she tends to get...violent."
"You? Get violent?" Tanya snorted.
Bella looked back down at Tanya with a smile that made my skin crawl, her eyes full of mischief.
"I have my dark side, but don't we all?" She looked away from Tanya once more.
"So Bella what do you do?" Emmett asked, he hasn't taken his eyes off her yet.
"I guess you can say I'm Carlisle's right hand woman, I help with his work, giving him advice, helping him with projects, you know all the business crap."
"How did you two meet?" he asked.
"I met my Bella at a restaurant, she was my waitress and I couldn't keep my eyes off her, I got the courage to ask her out and she surprisingly said yes, sometimes I don't understand what she sees in me."
"He doesn't know what he's talking about, he is very handsome man and he can have any woman he wants," she kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes, but I got lucky and so have you. How did you two meet?" Carlisle asked.
"We met through some friends, they thought we would be a nice couple so we went out on a blind date," Tanya explained.
"That's interesting, do you have a wedding date set up?" Bella asked.
"No, Edward has been busy with work so we haven't had the chance to really discuss it."
"Well, it will happen soon," Bella smiled. "Carlisle I'm going to sit with Alice."
"Alright," he kissed her forehead.
"It was nice to meet you all, I hope we get to see each other under a different circumstance," she gave us a grin that took my breath away.
She walked over to where the dark haired Alice was laying in a lounge chair and sat in the one by her. I pried my eyes from her and hit Emmett to get him from his trance, he shook his head.
"Well, I'll be going for a dip in the pool, you should go in yourself, the water is very warm," he walked away from us jumping into the pool.
"I don't like her," Tanya spoke.
"Who?" I asked.
"Bella," she snarled.
"You just met her, how could you not like her, she seems nice," I looked over at Bella, her eyes were closed, he body bathing in the sun. That smirk on her face, as if she knew we were talking about her.
"Of course you think she's nice, you're a male, she thinks she is better than everyone. She called me cute," she rolled her eyes.
"Tanya, your over reacting, how about you change into your suit and we go for a dip in the pool."
"Fine, I'll get to show off my body." She walked away and into the house.
"It seems your girl is jealous," Emmett snickered.
"Yea, so it seems."
I watched Carlisle swim in the pool, swimming towards where Bella laid. He called Bella's name and beckoning her to him. She stood up, slipping off her heels and walking to the edge of the pool and sat. Carlisle gripped her hips and placed her in the pool with him.
"Don't you wish you were him?" Emmett sighed.
"More than anything,"
"Well, I'm going to show of my bod!" Emmett stripped off his shirt and pants.
I watched as Emmett and several other people entered the pool and began to swim around. My eyes unwillingly moved over to where Isabella Swan and Carlisle swam, my envy for that man was disgraceful, but understandable. To have that woman in his hold, to be able to caress her milky skin and have her sighing his name.
"Are you getting in?" Tanya's voice was so annoying I had to stop myself from scowling at her.
"No, go ahead," I walked away not even waiting for her response.
I sat in the same lawn chair and sulked.
