EPOV
"Come in," I bellowed in answer to Emmett's knock on my office door.
"Hey bro, how was the time away?" he asked plopping down in the chair and putting his feet up on my desk.
"Heavenly," I told him, sorting through the papers on my desk.
"You and little sis good? Things looked tense at Thanksgiving."
"They are now - we had a bit of a bad patch there."
"Good, because I'd hate for Rose to kick your ass," he said with a booming laugh.
"I would hate it too," I said chuckling lightly.
He smiled over at me as Bella knocked on the door.
"What's up little sis?"
"I just came to see if either of you wanted something to drink," she said as she came over by my side.
"Iced tea would be cool, little sis."
"How about you, baby?" she asked me.
"Make it two, love."
"I'll be right back with them," she said as she started to walked away, but I reached out for her and pulled her to me.
I lightly brushed my lips against hers, "Thank you," I said with a smile as I let her go.
She walked out of the office as Emmett just smirked.
"What?" I asked.
"Nice to see you guys back to yourselves."
"Yeah, its nice. So what did you find out from Officer Alistair?"
Bella brought the tea in before he could answer.
"Thanks baby, I won't be too long", I said as she nodded and walked towards the door.
"Okay," she said with a wink.
"Well, what did he say?" I asked.
"He's been staking out Caius's place - they hit him last night. Got a bunch of his guys and get this, they got Jane too - the old man slipped away though."
"Okay, did they find anything?"
"Stock piles of illegal guns, drugs and a human trafficking ring."
"That's good, unfortunate that Caius got away though. What do you think Jane will say?"
"Hard to say - last I heard she wasn't talking at all."
"I need to find out about Victoria Hunter, do you think Jasper is up to helping with that or do you think we can get Alistair to check her out?" I asked.
"I think Jasper is up to it - he wants to help in any way he can."
"Okay. I have a bad feeling that we aren't going to like whatever he finds out. Is there anything else you want to discuss?"
"Nope, that will do it for today man."
"Great, I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah man," he said giving me a quick one arm hug.
I sat back in my chair as I looked over at a picture of me and Bella that was on my desk.
It was a picture from our engagement party, she was so beautiful that night even though she thought she looked huge.
I thought about how I nearly threw us away as I reached for my phone.
I was dialing Jasper's number as he walked in the door, looking a bit worse for wear than the last time I saw him.
"Hey man, I was just calling you," I said as he walked over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a hefty scotch.
"Yeah, sorry...been kinda rough with Carlie - she's getting a new tooth and visiting Alice is a nightmare."
"What's going on with her?" I asked.
"Do you want a drink?" he asked. "You may need one."
"Sure," I said.
He poured it and carried it over to me as he sat down.
"Talk to me, Jazz," I said.
"Well you know I've been going to visit Alice, right?"
I nodded as I took a small sip of my scotch.
"She had gotten increasingly weird and hostile when I come. Rambling and laughing to herself."
"When I was there today she was laughing and bragging almost like a maniac, how she was going to bring down Edward the great."
"What the hell does that mean?" I asked.
"That's exactly what I asked her. She looked me square in the face and asked me how Bella was enjoying her boy toy."
"Do you know what she was talking about?"
I could feel the raw anger coursing through my veins.
"I asked her that and she said she knew for a fact that Bella was going to be in a sticky situation."
"I fucking knew she was behind it, why the fuck does she hate me so much?"
"Behind what? None of it made sense to me, but I knew it wasn't good."
I reached in my bottom drawer and shoved the pictures at him.
He looked down at them.
"Holy fucking shit," he exclaimed.
"Bella said she was set up - that this Victoria chick she met, held her against this dude and he grabbed her and kissed her. These pictures were sent to me anonymously."
"I can see that the woman is holding Bella. You don't believe this shit do you?" he asked.
"I did at first - we had a huge blow out - I almost kicked her out, but she fought...made me see the truth."
"Fuck man, I don't know what to say. I'm sorry."
"We went away for a couple days - talked a lot, we're working through our issues together."
"What can I do to help?" he asked.
"See if you can get her to talk more about this Victoria woman."
"Anything else?"
"No, that would be a great help - and bring Carlie over to the house anytime you need a break, we're happy to help."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. So things with you and Bella are good?" he asked.
"Yeah - I think we'll be okay."
"Good, I'm glad. She's good for you. No other woman would stand up to you," he said with a laugh.
"That's true - you should have seen her, never been more proud of her."
"I would've loved to see it. I know how you get when you are pissed off or hurt. I'm sure she was scared."
"You'd never have known it - she flat out wouldn't let me kick her out."
"She's definitely your match, Edward," he said as he stood up. "You're lucky, don't let go of her and never take her for granted."
"You're a loyal man, Jasper - most men in your position would let their wives rot in that hospital and moved on to a new wife."
"I love Alice, and I always will. I'll wait for her to return to me. No matter how long it takes."
"Thank you, Jasper, for everything you've done in the past and everything you're doing now."
"You're welcome. I'm here to help in anyway I can," he said giving me a hug as he walked towards the door.
"Hey Bella," he said as he walked out the door.
She smiled as she came in and walked towards me.
"Hi, I hope I didn't interrupt anything," she said as she sat on my desk.
"Never, love, you're always welcome."
I sat in my chair and pulled her into my lap, wrapping my arms around her back as I laid my head against her chest.
"How did it go?" she asked running her hands through my hair.
"Okay, we had a cop raid Caius's place - they got Jane but not Caius and Jasper pretty much confirmed Alice was behind trying to split us up."
"Did he say why she wants us apart?"
"No, but he is going to talk to her some more."
"Okay. I fed the kids and put them in bed, would you like dinner now?" she asked softly.
"Yes please, my love."
She stood up and reached for my hand, I placed my hand in hers as we walked out of my office.
"I love you so much, baby. Never forget that."
"I won't. I love you too," she said as we walked into the kitchen. "Have a seat."
I sat and watched her walk around the kitchen preparing things.
"Did you already eat, love?" I asked.
"No, I wanted to wait for you," she said looking over at me.
"Aww love, thank you."
She brought our plates over as I pulled her into my arms and I crushed my lips to hers.
I pulled away and pushing some hair off her face, "What did you make?"
"Chicken Alfredo."
"Sounds good, baby," I said as I picked up my fork.
She smiled as she started eating too.
"I'm sorry it took so long with my meetings, I would've helped you with the kids."
"It's okay, you're here now."
"Baby, you're so amazing."
"I try."
We continued eating and when we were finished I took the dishes away and carried her upstairs.
"Edward," she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"What's wrong, love?" I asked a I pushed open our door, and carried her inside.
"Nothing."
I laid her on the bed and then I turned to grab our book.
"Look through here and find something you'd like to try," I said with a smirk.
"Okay," she said quietly.
I got undressed and sat next to her as she looked down at the book.
I slowly unbuttoned her shirt as I kissed down her neck.
"Mmm...you're so distracting," she murmured as I sucked the skin over her collarbone.
"Did you find something, love?" I asked as I slid my hand up to her breast, cupping it and brushing my thumb over her nipple.
She moaned and arched herself further into my hand.
I couldn't get enough of her as I continued kissing her neck and brushing my fingertips over her breasts.
"You're very distracting, Mr. Cullen," she murmured as she moved her hand up into my hair.
"Sorry love," I said with a smirk. "You're so addicting."
"What about this one?" she said pointing to a picture of a woman standing bent over, her hands on the floor and the man entering her from behind.
"Hmm...will that be comfortable for you, baby?" I asked as I looked up at her.
"I think I'll be okay, I promise I'll let you know if it gets uncomfortable."
I was still a bit unsure, I never wanted to cause her any pain.
I slid her shirt the rest the way off and moved my hand down toward her pants.
"I'll be fine, don't worry," she whispered as I slowly pushed her pants down.
I placed kisses across her body as I threw her pants to the side and pulled her to a standing position.
I walked behind her, pulling her to me, one hand cupping her breast as the other slid between her legs.
I kissed down her neck as I slid my fingers between her folds, "Already wet for me, baby."
"Mmm...yes, always," she murmured as I slipped my finger up to her clit and rubbed over it a few times.
I moved my hand from her breast and ran it gently up her back, pressing her slowly forward.
She bent over slowly in front of me until her fingertips touched the floor.
"How are you feeling, baby?"
"Good, I'm fine."
I took my cock in my hand and pressed it gently to her glistening pussy lips and slid in slowly.
"Fuck Edward," she moaned out as I filled her completely.
I moved my hands to her hips and pulled her hard against me, "Still okay, baby?" I asked.
"Mmm...yes."
I smiled as she pushed back into me, I loved that she has an adventurous side.
I pulled back and slammed in to her a little harder this time.
"Yes again, baby," she called out.
I repeated my actions - a little harder and a little deeper than the previous time.
Bella was so tight in this position - I knew I wouldn't last long.
She moaned and pushed back against me as I held her hips in my hands.
I moved faster - pounding into her with everything I had.
"Fuck, baby, I'm so close - come for me Bella," I panted out.
"Ed.. ward, I'm almost there," she murmured.
I reached around her and slid my fingers over her clit.
"Fuck!" she cried out as her pussy clamped down on me.
"Oh God, Bella," I roared out as her pussy milked me and I spilled deep inside her.
I slipped out of Bella and pulled her back up to a standing position. Then I scooped her up in my arms and sat us on the bed, cradling her in my lap.
I smoothed my hands down her back, "Are you okay, love?" I asked kissing her soft lips.
"Mmm...yes," she purred.
"That was amazing."
"Yes it was," she said, kissing my chest softly.
"I loved watching my cock slipping in and out of your pussy, I didn't think I'd last as long as I did. You're one sexy vixen, baby."
"That book is a lot of fun," she said looking up at me with a smile.
"It is."
"It's your turn next to find a position you want to try," she said as she moved her fingers through my hair as I laid us back on the bed.
"I will next time. Aren't you tired?" I asked as I held her body to me.
"A little bit," she said.
"I don't want you to over do things, baby. Have you made an appointment with the doctor yet?"
"No, not yet, I'll make sure I do that tomorrow."
"I want to come to your appointments, no matter what. I'll make time to come with you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I meant what I said about putting you and our children first and I'm going to do that."
"I'm glad and I'll try and be more understanding."
"You're the most understanding woman I know," I said with a soft laugh.
"I try," she said, nuzzling against my neck.
He hands moved down my chest, her touch was soft and loving as she moved down toward my already hardening cock.
"Baby, I think we need to sleep," I said placing my hand over hers.
"But you're so fun."
"You're fun too, baby, but I don't want you overdoing. You'll tire more easily now."
"But...I want to please you so badly."
"I know baby, you already please me greatly, but right now nothing would please me more than seeing my pregnant wife get some rest."
"Fine," she sighed and turned on her side.
"Baby, don't be upset, I'm trying to look out for you."
"I know. I'm sorry, its just...never mind."
"Tell me, baby, don't shut me out."
"I just feel like you don't want me as much," she said softly.
I turned her so she can see in my eyes. "Baby, I want you so much...always, but it's my job to look after you and make sure you're taken care of."
"I know and I love you for it. I know how much you want me in here," she said as she put her hand on her heart, but my head doesn't get it.
"Baby, I want you 24/7, but just because we aren't doing anything sexual doesn't mean I desire you any less."
She nodded as she leaned her head against my chest.
I stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.
"Do you understand, baby? You're everything to me and I love you with everything within me."
"Yes, I understand."
She looked up at me and I captured her lips in mine.
"I love you, so much," I said as I pulled back from her lips.
"I love you, Edward."
I wrapped her in my arms as she yawned against me.
"See baby, you're tired and need rest. If we made love again right now, you'd be pushing yourself. I'm just looking out for you."
"Alright, I'm tired."
I kissed her again and she snuggled into me, "Thank you for watching out for me," she said softly.
"I will always watch out for you, my love."
I wrapped her in my arms and I held her to me.
"Sleep love, I have you," I said quietly.
I listened as her breathing evened out and I knew she was asleep.
I watched over her as she slept, I was tired but my mind wasn't ready to turn off.
My mind kept going to what Jasper told me - how could my sister hate me so much?
I couldn't think of any reason of why she'd want to hurt me or Bella so much.
Alice was so deranged and hateful now, I feel I don't know her anymore.
I slipped out from behind Bella and went down to my office, since I didn't want to wake her up.
I paced my office floor - wracking my brain...what did I do to make her justify destroying what I hold most dear.
I couldn't think of anything as I paced.
I looked over at a picture of me and Alice when we were younger, we were inseparable, everywhere I went, she went.
What went wrong in her mind - is there something I could have done?
I sat down in my chair and ran my fingers over the globe that Bella gave me.
I don't think it was just postpartum depression any more. Something else had to be wrong.
I've have heard she is deliberately cruel to Jasper and has no wish to even see Carlie.
I couldn't imagine being separate from my children, or being cruel to Bella.
I got up and walked over to the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of water.
I opened the bottle and took a huge drink of it.
"Edward?" I heard from the doorway.
"Bella? Did I wake you, love?"
"No. I woke up and you were gone."
"Just couldn't sleep, love."
"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked as she walked towards me.
She had the sheet wrapped around her body.
"Your presence alone helps me."
"That is crazy," she said with a laugh.
I reached out and pulled her to me.
"It's really late, love. You should be asleep," I said holding her in my arms.
"So should you, my dear."
"You're right," I said as I kissed her forehead.
"What had you so restless?" she asked.
"Thinking of Alice."
"Yeah, I've been thinking about her too. I don't understand why she hates us so much."
"Neither do I, love."
"Come back to bed with me?" she asked softly.
She took my hand in hers and pulled me from my chair.
I followed behind her obediently as we slowly climbed the stairs.
I leaned her back against our door as I kissed her softly.
I loved how her body molded to mine as I kissed her.
She moaned into my mouth and pressed herself even closer.
I lifted her up and she wrapped her arms around me.
I walked us back to our bed, and I laid her back on it and kissed her deeply.
Her hands were in my hair as my tongue slid against hers.
I pulled away and kissed down her neck as she moaned and moved against me.
"More," she moaned.
I pushed the blanket open, exposing her breasts to me, I leaned in and captured one of her hard, pink nipples in my mouth.
"Yes, Edward," she said, her fingers sliding into my hair.
I kissed my way over to her other breast as I gave it the same attention.
I released her nipple and kissed my way down her body, stopping at her stomach and kissed over it.
Her breathing was getting heavier as she squirmed beneath me.
I nudged her legs apart and settled between them as I slowly spread her folds apart, revealing her wet entrance.
"Always so wet for me, baby."
"Mmm...yes," she breathed, as she slipped her fingers in my hair and pushed me towards her awaiting pussy.
I lapped at her as she purred beneath me.
There was nothing sweeter than her taste, I couldn't get enough as I pushed my tongue in deeper.
Her moans spurred me on as I moved my fingers over her clit, it was already hard and erect for me.
"Fuck, Edward," she called out.
"You like that, baby?" I asked pulling my face back a bit.
"Yes, Edward, more please."
I couldn't help but smile up at her, she looked so beautiful all spread out on the bed, her one hand in my hair and the other moving over her breast.
Fuck, I loved seeing her touch herself.
I leaned in against and sucked her clit between my lips, as I plunged my fingers in deeper as she cried out.
"Y...yes, Edward, mmm."
She bucked against me and I knew she was close.
I was relentless as I sucked and licked her.
I wanted her to come hard for me, on me.
"Fuck," she screamed out as her walls clamped hard on me and she squirted around fingers.
I continued lapping up her release as she writhed above me.
She looked so beautiful as she moved above me.
I slowly slid my fingers out of her as I sat up and smirked at her.
"Oh God Edward...that was just...wow."
"I'm far from done, baby," I said as I kissed up her body.
She grinned at me as I crawled up her body.
My cock was so hard and was aching for relief, I felt her hand brush against it and I couldn't stop the moan that left me.
"Mmm...so hard for me?" she asked her fingers sliding up and down me.
"Always hard for you, baby."
"Do you want to be buried deep inside me or do you want me to pleasure you with my mouth?" she asked looking up at me.
She amazed me so much, when she said things like this. She's came a long way from the shy sweet girl I met at the diner.
She continued moving her fingers over me as I considered what I wanted.
"I...I want to be buried deep inside you, baby," I said as she gently squeezed over the tip of my cock.
She moved over me till she was hovering above my cock.
"Are you sure?" she asked as she wrapped her hand around me.
"Yes baby, I need you."
I watched as she guided me inside her warmth.
"Fuck," I moaned out as she lowered herself onto me.
"Mmm...you feel so fucking good," she murmured as she moved slowly over me.
"I love being inside you, baby," I moaned out.
She leaned down, her arms resting on my chest as she moved over me.
I slid my hands back to her perfectly rounded ass and moved her along me.
Our moans and the sound of our bodies moving against each other were the only sounds we could hear in our room.
"Ed..ward," she moaned as I moved one hand up her back as I thrusted up into her.
I gripped her tightly as I moved our bodies together.
"Fuck me, Edward. I need you too," she murmured as I looked up at her.
I didn't question her, I just flipped us over and pushed her legs up higher on my back as I slowly started to thrust inside her.
"More...harder, baby," she panted.
I knew what she wanted, she wanted me to let go and fuck her hard.
"Come on, Edward. Let go, fuck me. You know I love it. Fuck me," she murmured as she ran her fingertips over her nipple.
I reached for the headboard, gripping it tightly as I started pounding into her hard.
"Yes," she moaned out as she clung to me.
I loved hearing her as I pounded into her.
"More, Edward...yes, fill me," she groaned.
Again and again I slammed into her, hearing her moans and cries spurred me on.
"Come on baby, let go," she murmured as she clung to my shoulders.
I slammed into her even harder, banging the headboard off the wall and breaking out in a sweat.
"Fuck yes," she screamed out. "Again, I'm so fucking close."
I repeated my actions again and again till she was quivering beneath me.
I could feel her pussy milking my cock as she came hard around me.
"Yes...yes...Edward, fuck so good," she screamed as she raked her nails down my back.
I loved when she lost herself in the pleasure I was giving her.
I pumped into her a few more times before spilling deep inside her.
My body shook from the force of my orgasm and my hands ached from my tight grip on the headboard.
"Fuck...so good, baby. I love you," I said softly as I kissed her lips as I put my hands on her face.
"I love you, too," she said as she looked up into my eyes. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For knowing what I needed, for not arguing when I asked you to fuck me."
"I know you love it, baby."
"I do. I love when we make love and when we fuck hard. Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah baby, perfect."
"That you are," she said with a yawn.
"I think I'll be able to sleep now."
"Mmm...yeah, I'm sure," she said as she wiped the sweat from my forehead.
I pulled her down next to me, holding her tight against me.
"Sleep well, baby," she said softly.
"You too, my love."
I held her against me as I closed my eyes, breathing her in and feeling her fingers running up and down my arms.
I drifted off to sleep as I held her against me.
