Hello Lovelies! Here is my UST & The Art of a slow burn HW. We are still following our Edward & Bella the same Edward & Bella who were separating after HS. This has not been beta'd I'm sorry, still catching up! I have one more to go!

Three years. Three damn years since I've seen Edward. My nerves are a fucking mess as I sit in the back of the town car pulling up at the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport. I'm going to be boarding a private Charter plane with Alice and the rest of the wedding party. The rest of the wedding party includes parents of the bride and groom; my parents have also tagged along, and of course Edward Cullen. Edward, who I haven't seen in three years since I broke up with him for both of us to go to college, and live our lives without being tied to the other.

Only Alice would get married Fourth of July weekend in paradise. We are spending five days at The Cove resort in Eleuthera Bahamas, and it looks amazing. The car pulls up to the airstrip, and my best friend the perfect little pixie is waiting by a small plane.

"Bella Boo!" Alice screams and starts running towards me.

Not being able to hold in my excitement I take off towards her, wrapping my arms around her. We hold each on to each other for a few seconds' tears streaming down my face. I give her a tiny push away so that I can get a good look at her, it's been a year since she came and spent the summer in New York with me.

"You're getting married!" We both squeal like teenage girls, before she slips her arm in mine and starts leading me to the plane.

The pilot is there to help us up into the small charter plane, it's already full, and I can hear the lively chatter. Once I enter the cabin, a number of voices scream my name. One pair being my parents smiling widely, like they didn't just see me a few months ago. Everyone takes turns hugging me in the small space; I am hugging the groom, Jasper, when I spot a head full of unruly auburn hair in the back of the plane. He stands up, practically bumping his head on the ceiling of the plane. Everyone takes his or her seats, leaving just Edward and I standing in the small walkway of the plane.

He's different, older, and all man. He closes the small gap separating us, looking down at me, his green eyes sparkle while his hand wraps around my waist.

"Hey beautiful." He says giving me his signature grin.

"Hi." I breathe out as he pulls me into his arms hugging me, my arms slip around his neck and I inhale taking in his scent.

There are hushed voices surrounding us, but none of it seems to matter it's just us.

"Everyone please take your seats." The pilot yells out, causing Edward and I to break apart. I take the open seat next to him, buckling myself in.

I wasn't really prepared for this, I knew he would be here, but I had hope that the chemistry between us would have dissipated over the years. The plane starts taking off, and everyone is talking excitedly about the upcoming wedding. Alice sits across from me next to Jasper, but she is talking my ear off giving me a list of all the things I have to do.

"As soon as we land you need to introduce yourself to the wedding planner, and make a check list of everything that is still pending. You also need to correspond with the charter plane service and transportation to find out what times the others will arrive. Also, please remember to talk to the kitchen about the vegetarian options you know Jessica has been a vegetarian for years now."

She said all this without taking a breath, and it was a little impressive.

"Ali! We can go over all this once we're checked in. I'll make sure to be the perfect maid of honor." I reach over, and take her hand squeezing it. She smiles at me, before turning to face Jasper.

Edward sits next to me bouncing his knee, and looking out the small window of the plane. The silence between us is deafening, and I look up to find both of our mothers' staring at us.

"How is pre-law?" He asks raking his hands through his hair.

"Good, hard. What about you, enjoying pre-med?" I'm so damn nervous right now; I need to calm down its Edward!

"It's good waiting to hear from med schools. What about you? Do you plan to come back west once done with undergrad?"

I nervously bite my lip, I know the answer already, but I can't bring myself to tell him. Luckily my mother saves me, and starts talking to me about the remodeling job she is having done on the kitchen.

The plane ride is over fairly quickly, Edward and I never got a chance to finish our conversation because everyone else wanted to speak to one of us about school and what we've been up to. We exit the plane, and then we're quickly ushered into a van that takes off on the narrow road leading us off into paradise. I stare out the window eyeing the clear blue water with hunger in my eyes; I can't wait to feel it against my body. Palm trees and sand surround us while the van maneuvers around the tiny island. Mopeds and Jeeps zip pass us, their passengers enjoying the warm Bahamas breeze.

"It's so beautiful." I say in awe.

Edward sits next to me his eyes dancing across my features; I can feel his fingertips lightly grazing my skin. "You are."

I am frozen in time for a moment, my heart seems to have stopped beating, and I am sweating like I've just run a marathon. Edward licks his lips and my eyes jump to the movement of his pink tongue caressing his bottom lip, damn, I wish it were mine. My tongue somehow finds its way peaking out from my teeth; he follows my action hungrily leaning into me.

"We're here! Bella come on we have so much to do!"

Alice shrill voice causes Edward and I to jump away from each other. Damn it! I need to get this under control. We're over, I have a life in New York, and I don't know when or if I'll ever go back to Forks. I pull myself together, and I try like hell to shake off all these feelings that are surfacing just after spending one damn hour with Edward.

We exit the van, looking around at the splendor of it all. It's simply gorgeous. The entire resort is covered in trees and sand, individual little white villas cover the grounds. I can smell the ocean from here; I take a deep breath letting the smell of the sea feel my senses causing my body to shiver in anticipation. I'm ready to be in the water, to lie in the sun for hours to try and add some color to my pasty white skin.

Once we are all out of the van, Alice hands out room keys. She took it upon herself to book the main wedding party rooms. She stands in front of me a little jumpy and I'm wondering why the hell is she acting nervous.

"Here is your key, Bella."

I take the key out of her hand. "Great, did you get the studio like I asked?"

She shifts her weight from foot to foot, biting the corner of her bottom lip a nervous habit since fifth grade.

"Actually, you will be sharing a Vila with Edward." Alice gives me a sympathetic smile.

"Bella, its best that the entire wedding party is together."

I'm giving her a death glare. There are only two other people in the damn wedding party other than her and Jasper. Edward walks over to me smiling.

"You ready roomie?" He winks at me, and then walks off in the direction of our home for the next five fucking days.

It's AMAZING! The entire suite is just breathtaking. We are in our very own two bedroom little bungalow. Walking into the foyer we are surrounded by beautiful photos of the ocean and palm trees, it gives off a peaceful feeling. The living room is white and breezy; the wooden furniture makes the suite have a beautiful simplicity to it. A sliding glass door leads out to the sundeck that wraps around half of the back of the bungalow.

"Wow, this place is crazy. " Edward says as he roams around the room.

He walks into one of the bedrooms leaving me standing there to just admire the splendor of it all. I am still a nervous wreck after seeing Edward after all this time, and now I have to share a room with him. A suite it may be, but I still feel like even a mansion wouldn't be big enough to keep Edward and I apart.

"Bella, you've got to see this."

Edward stands in the doorway, stretching his arms over his head to reveal a tone stomach a hint of a tattoo showing. Facing Edward, I raise my eyebrow licking my lips at the site of this sexy man in front of me. Walking up to him I stand in front of him, waiting on him to move, but he doesn't his eyes wander across my body taking in my short shorts and tank top. I can feel my nipples harden under his darkened gaze, ignoring him I push him out the way, and enter the bedroom.

A large king size bed sits against the wall, there is a small living room area in the room, and there is another sliding door leading to the long patio. I stand there taking it all in when I feel Edward standing behind me, his body heat warming me up in certain places.

"This room reminds me of the suite we had for prom. We spent the weekend wrapped in each other arms, ordering room service. I always imagined us honeymooning in a similar place, and here we are."

I'm speechless, and nervous as fuck. Quickly turning around I bump into Edward's hard chest, one of his arms wraps around my waist. We are both breathing incredibly loud; he stares down at me gently stroking my cheek.

"You haven't been home in three years, and now you just come into my life like a damn tornado. Seeing you Bella, God it does things to me."

I don't know what to say about that, luckily I'm saved by his cell phone ringing in his pocket, taking it out he glances at it before he answers letting out an exaggerated breath.

"Yeah? I can't talk right now. I don't want to discuss this now Bree."

Edward is getting more and more agitated by the second as he speaks to whoever this Bree is. I haven't kept up with Edward's life; I don't want to know too afraid that I will hear something that would ruin me.

I slip out of the room walking through the villa to find the other bedroom that is identical to the one I just exited. I start getting my things settled so I can get to my one hundred and five maid of honor duties.

~~UST~~

After a long day of doing Alice bidding and being the perfect maid of honor, I'm in my room getting dressed for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. Jasper and Alice have been doing everything together since ninth grade, actually the four of us have always been a group, but things change. More guests have arrived and we have two days until the big day. Edward is not in the suite when I return, which is a good thing because I can't take being so close to him.

I go to my in suite bathroom which is just wonderful like the rest of the villa. I do my usual girly routine, I don't plan to have sex with anyone, well I wouldn't just have sex with anyone, but I'm not having sex with Edward so I don't have to be too picky about my appearance down there.

Once I'm done in the bathroom I walk through my room wearing only my black strapless bra and panties trying to decide on which dress to where. I stand in front of the open closet staring at the black strapless dress and the red off the shoulder when my bedroom door bursts open.

I practically jump out of my skin when I turn around to find an already drunk, and shirtless Edward staring at me. We stare at each other for a second. My eyes does not move from his tattooed body, although I have no idea what any of his tattoos are at the moment. I try to walk into the bathroom to grab my robe, but Edward stalks over to me effectively encasing me against the wall.

"I've been sent to collect you, although I think I'll rather collect something else." Edward smirks as he leans into me. My hands press up against his chest trying to stop his approach.

"Whose Bree?" I ask as he presses up against me, his hand against the wall while his lower half grazes my panty-clad pussy.

He stands over me his eyes burning my skin, my breast heaving, and my panties dampening from his close proximity. His breath tickles my eyelashes while I await his answer.

"She's no one, just like every other woman after you. You know you're all I want, baby."

I can smell the alcohol on his breath; his hard cock is straining to get out of his shorts. Tilting my head up, I stare into his eyes my hands slipping around his waist. My fingers tickle his skin as he grinds up against me our lips linger over each other. We breathe in and out as one his fingers graze up my leg teasing my panty line.

Pressing up against me he closes the small gap separating us; he tilts his head down bringing his soft pink lips closer to mine. I stretch my neck up holding my breath in anticipation. Just when our lips touch there is banging on the front door of the suite.

"Edward! Bella! It's party time!"

Fucking Alice!
