First, I want to say sorry it took so long to update. I do have the chapters written but work has been crazy and next week it will be the same. Unfortunately, working with auditors can be pretty stressful so by the time I get home in the evening I don't feel like going online. Also, I'm secretly interviewing for a new job that pays a lot more and gives the opportunity to move up in my career. I have a good feeling about it, I've already interviewed twice. Hopefully, the next interview will be the last. But until then I will continue to be stressed. So, let's get to the next chapter. Oh, since I made you wait here are the next two chapters.

Simultaneously, my arms moved to cover myself and I blushed. Edward then apologized profusely and exited the bathroom. After he shut the door I climbed out of the tub and dressed in my night clothes. Not bothering to dry my hair I felt the need to find Edward. As I walked towards his bedroom door I heard rustling. I raised my fist to knock on his door. He opened the door after a moment.

B "I came to check on you. Look I know it was an accident and I should have locked the door so I hope this doesn't change things between us."

E "Bella" he said as he brushed his hand across my cheek, causing my eyes to flutter shut. "You are a truly exquisite woman. Of course, this won't change anything. However, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to stay in a hotel until I can figure out something more permanent."

B "Please don't go. Michael will get over it and it could be weeks or even months before you figure out where to go. You need family and Michael will eventually realize he needs you." I pleaded breathlessly.

E "I want to stay. I truly do. You have made my stay pleasurable even under the circumstances but I feel if I don't go something might happen that we might regret." He said as he continued stroking my cheek. I nodded my head in understanding and slowly turned to leave his room.

I immediately went to the master bedroom in search of Michael. I was going to convince Michael that his father needed to stay.
