Can't wait to hear from you! -K


It had been almost a week since the Laundromat incident and I'd yet to see Edward, which should be a relief after the way he'd been acting but was actually worrying me a bit. I had to remind myself that he wasn't mine to worry about though, the guy was an asshole client gone wrong who needed a boundary check. So why did I care so much?

Alice was another story however, she'd become a nearly permanent fixture in my life in the past six days. Apparently she gets lonely during the day and since I work nights, I'm her designated entertainer. I don't really mind though, Alice is easy to get along with and I could use the company. I'd slowed down with work, really I hadn't worked since before Edward, but I refused to acknowledge it as being anymore than wanting to cut back. I wanted to talk to Rose about it, but she'd been so busy with the shop that I hadn't gotten to see her. I couldn't talk to Alice either because then she'd know how much I was really thinking about her brother and how creepy would that be. The last thing she wanted to hear was that her new friend was psychotic.

I was just getting out of the shower Saturday morning when I heard a knock on the front door and I knew it was Alice. "Come in," I hollered, hurrying from my bathroom to my bedroom to get dressed and leaving the door cracked so that we could talk. The front door opened and closed, I could hear her moving around the living room. "I'm in the bedroom getting dressed, make yourself comfortable." Alice was going to teach me to make bread and then I was going to teach her to make my favorite spaghetti sauce so she could make pasta for Jasper tonight.

The towel slipped from my hair as I bent down to pull on a pair of black yoga pants and I reached for it when I heard the door to my bedroom creak as it was pushed open. I spun around and came face to face with the smoldering green eyes that had been haunting my dreams. Suddenly I felt naked, though the irony was not lost on me, in my yoga pants and black lace bra as I stood before him. My outfits and heavy makeup was always a sort of shield for me but now here I was, free of the theatrics and on display for him.

"What are you doing here," I asked, picking the towel up and wrapping it around my torso to protect myself from his wandering eyes.

"Shy? That's interesting… expecting company," he asked and I knew by the tone in his voice that this was not the man who'd rolled his eyes at his sister a week again, this was the shark I'd spotted in his office and the glint in his eyes made me damp between my legs.

I resisted the urge to chew on my bottom lip as I nodded, "as a matter of fact, Alice. She was supposed to be coming over to teach me how to make bread."

Edward snorted and I felt my cheeks heat up slightly. "Alice is at our parents' house, she must've forgotten to call you."

"Then what are you doing here," I asked, moving away from him and to my vanity to begin brushing my hair. I kept the towel tucked firmly under my arms, protecting my front from him as he watched me in the mirror.

"I dropped off some papers to Jasper, he's painting the nursery today, thought I'd stop by for a surprise visit. Haven't seen you in a while, thought you were avoiding me."

I looked at him incredulously but was actually surprised by the look in his eyes, like he was unsure of himself. How could I tell him that I thought he was avoiding me without sounding totally insane? Screw totally insane, this whole thing was insane. This song and dance between us made no sense, I couldn't wrap my head around it and I couldn't put my thoughts into words. So I chose to shrug instead, turning back to my reflection and working on removing the tangles from my hair.

Warm, firm fingertips brushed the exposed skin between my shoulders and I jumped, finding his eyes in the mirror and seeing amusement in his expression. "So touchy," he breathed, lightly brushing over my right shoulder and down my goose bump covered arm. His touch was like fire, lighting me up and leaving a slow burn in its path. He circled by elbow with his fingernails then slowly dragged them back up my arm and I felt my breath coming faster and shallower.

"Why do you enjoy torturing me, tying me up in knots?" My eyes flickered closed as the words left my lips and his fingers paused midway up my arm. Too afraid to open my eyes, I allowed him to flatten his hand around my upper arm and release the towel that I still held.

It fell heavily around my feet and I swear my heart stopped beating for a moment. "I tie you up in knots? No, I don't think so; not yet, but maybe someday." A soft moan escaped my lips and I felt like a whore, not like the whore that I was but like his whore, and it felt good. "To answer your question, I quite enjoy torturing you. Watching your temper flare has to be the sexiest thing I've ever seen Bella," the way his tongue caressed my name was pure sex and I was burning before his eyes. "However, I believe you have it the other way around; it's you that has me tied in knots."

I opened my eyes, somewhat reluctantly, and tilted my head to the side to look into his eyes. They burned for me; burned with lust and honesty and so many secrets. Being so close to him and feeling so exposed, I felt the electricity that always seemed to exist between us and I was completely surrounded by him. His scent, his dominating presence, his touch, it was all around me and I was his slave to do with what he wanted. I only hoped that what he wanted wouldn't leave me completely shattered because, in that moment, I knew that he had the ability.

Edward picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked me til my back hit the wall beside my bed. One hand on my hip, his old slid up the side of my exposed stomach until he he cupped me through the lace of my bra. I moaned into his mouth and he swallowed my cries as his thumb tweaked my hardened nipple. He was the most amazing kisser, the way that his tongue stroked mine was electrifying and when his teeth nipped the flesh of my bottom lip I saw stars. There was an unspoken dominance in the way that he held me and it was the biggest turn on I'd ever experienced. My fingers found his tie and I yanked it loose, breaking out kiss to pull it over his head and toss it on the floor, then I started on the buttons of his shirts. His hips pinned me to the wall and he pulled his shirt loose from his pants. Chest-to-chest, skin-on-skin, my body was alive and the warmth of his skin burned me deliciously.

Edward kissed my jawline and ran a trail of kisses up to my earlobe, nipping softly as the soft skin and making me shiver. "Isabella," the way his voice caressed my name dripped with sex. "I need to be inside of you, it's all that I can think about." I couldn't find my voice, all I could manage was to nod. A low growl came from Edward's throat and I felt his erection pushing against my core through our clothes before he lifted me off the wall and tossed me on the bed. I squeaked in surprise and scooted to the middle of the bed, watching as he continued to undress himself.

I bit my lip and rubbed my thighs together, watching as his shirt get discarded and exposed the rest of his toned core and the thick muscles of his arms. My mouth went dry as he reached for his belt and then the button of his slacks, pushing them off his hips and stepping out of them when they fell to the floor. Instantly my eyes were drawn to the impressive bulge in his boxer briefs and I felt like I would combust the way that he looked at me, like I was something to eat.

The bed dipped as Edward kneeled at the foot and then crawled towards me, like a mountain lion stalking its prey the way his muscles moved. He was over me in an instant, his weight pressing down on me just slightly and giving me a delicious sense of helplessness. I reached between us as his lips found mine and palmed his impressive length through his underwear. He thrust against my touch and we both moaned; spurring him into action, he leaned back on his knees and reached for the waistband of my pants.

In one swift motion, my pants and underwear were thrown onto the floor and Edward's eyes devoured me. I was bare, as usual, and my knees trembled with excitement and anxiety. His firm hands gripped the insides of my thighs to stop them from moving and licked his lips, causing me to swallow and a grin to form on his perfect mouth. Edward's right hand slid up my thigh to my core and he gently stroked me, pushing one finger into my wet center and causing me to gasp. My walls contracted around him as he added a second finger before lowering himself between my legs and running his tongue up my slit.

I cried out at the unfamiliar sensation and my hips arched off the bed as he found my clit. It wasn't that I'd never been given oral sex before but it'd been a long time and never by anyone who knew what a clit was. Edward curled his fingers inside of me and found the nub inside that made me gasp. His teeth grazed my clit and sent me over the edge, "Edward," I called his names as my orgasm overtook me.

After helping me ride out my orgasm, Edward slowly extracted his fingers and kissed his way up my body. His tongue ran a circle around my nipple through my bra before his lips found mine. I could taste myself on his lips and it spurred me on, giving me the confidence to roll him over and place myself on top. "God you're gorgeous," he practically whispered, placing his hands on my hips and watching me in amazement as I removed my bra and tossed it aside.

Next, I slid down off the bed and tugged his underwear off, which is graciously helped with by lifting his hips to make it easier. His erection flopped against his stomach and it was my turn to lick my lips. "One day baby, very soon, I'm going to fuck your mouth. But right now, I need to be inside of you," Edward commanded, grabbing ahold of my arms and pulling me back up to him, flipping me onto the bed and reaching for his pants.

Edward was in a condom in a matter of seconds and lined up at my entrance. I parted my legs wider to accommodate his toned waist, allowing him to push into me and sink down until he was fully sheathed inside of me. We both cried out in pleasure as he filled me, his length and thick girth stretching me deliciously. It didn't take long before he was moving inside of me, pulling out and slamming back in just not painfully. I met him thrust for thrust as we raised toward the brink.

"Touch yourself," he commanded breathily and I nodded between moans, reaching between us to find my sensitive spot. Edward adjusted his hips to accommodate for my intrusive arm, angling himself just right so that he hit my g-spot.

"Oh God, yes! Right there," I cried, arching my back as he continued to hit the right spot, his motions becoming almost erratic.

"Come for me, my Bella. Come for me," his words sent me over the edge and I practically screamed as my orgasm washed over me in waves. Edward followed, the muscles in his back becoming tight as he pumped two more times and stiffened. I felt him twitch inside of me as we both came crashing down.

It took a moment to regain our bearings, then Edward climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He turned a moment later and I half expected him to go, my heart hurting in anticipation, before he climbed back into bed with me and pulled the covers over us. Edwards kissed me softly, smoothed the hair out of me face and wrapped his arms around me as we fell asleep.
