Chapter 12


Edward


I turned around and gasped. Rose, Emmett, and Alice followed my gaze.

"Holy shit! An army of saleswomen!", Emmett marveled.

They circled us, stalking us, with us as their target.

I swallowed.

"That's at least ten," Rose said in horror.

"Twelve," Alice said. "You forgot the two in the back on the right."

We followed her gaze.

"What do they want?"

My voice was trembling.

"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough," Alice answered me.

"Council of war, people. Men first."

Emmett chuckled.

I did not find that funny. I knew from my own experience what a pack of women was capable of.

Two came closer.

"Can we be of any assistance to you?"

Alice snorted and looked at them both with flashing eyes.

"No, thank you!", every word clearly and distinctly.

"If they still ..." the saleswoman continued.

But Alice interrupted them.

"Yes yes, I'll be in touch."

They went.

At least they had the decency and did not rehearse the revolt.

"Bella, hurry up a little bit."

My sweetheart stuck her head out.

"What's the matter? Why should I hurry all of a sudden?", she asked Alice.

The latter nodded in the direction of the army.

"Oh ... yes ... I'll be quick."

She rushed back and on went the fitting.

Emmett kept an eye on the pack.

"Edward, come here please."

I peeked behind the curtain.

The smuggled T-shirt looked good and didn't clash with her hair, according to Alice. Yellow with purple bunnies - almost like my nice jogging suit.

"Looks good."

I winked at her.

"And what does it look like outside?", she chuckled.

"Emmett is keeping watch."

If only Jasper was here - he always has such good answers and could support our fight. Tanya wouldn't be bad either. I would sic her on the pack and these broads would have nothing to laugh about.

I chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?"

My sweetheart looked at me.

"I was thinking about Tanya, how I'm going to sic her on those out there."

Bella laughed.

"Yes, that would have something!"

Yes, that would be a terrific spectacle. Killer rabbit out of control to defend his master.

I went into the cabin.

"My darling, if we don't get through this battle ...", I kissed her and she was still laughing, "I just want to tell you one thing. I love you and we're going to get married and make a bunch of babies." My hands moved to her butt. "And if the danger wasn't so great, we'd start right now."

Now we were both chuckling.

"Getting married? Babies? Oh Bella, I'd love to help you get ready," Alice squealed.

I do hope she means the wedding!

"You were eavesdropping, Alice! That's not proper."

Bella went to the curtain, pulled it open and we saw that everyone was standing in front of it.

Wonderful.

"I can see it now - your dress and the decorations ..."

Alice fell into raptures.

"Take it easy, Alice. First we have to fight this battle and survive, then we'll see."

Alice clapped her hands and we laughed.

Bella was pretty much done trying on clothes and we wanted to change the store.

Five more women tried their luck, but couldn't get past Rose and Emmett. The others were still loitering, but kept their distance.

They can look, but they can't touch. Where were my parents, anyway?

"Has anyone seen my parents?", I asked in the round.

They shook their heads.

"I'll call her," Alice said, already holding her cell phone.

I helped Bella with the enormous pile of tops.

"Edward, that's forty-two pieces! That's how much I need ..."

That was as far as she got.

"Fiddle-dee-dee Bella, a woman needs choice."

Alice and Rose nodded at her.

"My baby ... my baby ... where is my baby?"

Mom came rushing to us. She hugged me and kissed my face, all over. I calmed her down and she continued to rant.

"Well, my boy. Do you have a woman problem?"

Yes, literally - and pushed my mom to him.

"These impertinent persons want to harm my baby, Carlisle. Imagine that!", my mother was outraged.

We got into position, with us in the middle, to get to the checkout. My mom walked up front and gave every female person a 'I'll kill anyone who touches my baby' look and it seemed to work. We reached the checkout without incident.

"Can we go get something to eat now? I'm starving!", Emmett whined.

"That's a good idea," my dad said. "A little pick-me-up can't hurt."

He took the six bags from Bella and explained that he was just putting them in the car quickly. After ten minutes he was back, and we looked for a place to eat something.

Everyone ordered what they were hungry for as Alice looked to Bella.

"The wedding, Bella. When are you going to ..."

"WEDDING! When? My two babies ... you are getting married. Why didn't you tell me? I am so happy! Oh Carlisle, my wishes are coming true. I'm so happy. Have you got the invitations ready? Who's coming? Is it going to be a big party? ..."

She was completely out of her mind and now unstoppable.

"Esmé, my angel, calm down."

My dad took her shoulders so she would look at him.

Bella gave Alice a 'how could you?' look.

My mom would now double or triple her efforts. Just wonderful. But only one more week and everyone would go home again. Undisturbedness would return.

"Baby, I'm so excited."

She circled the table and gave me a hug.

I started explaining to her and Bella helped me out when I got stuck.

Thank you, my darling.

"But you are getting married?"

"Yes Esmé, eventually," my sweetheart said.

My mom sat back down in her seat.

"Carlisle, we could move here after all. Once my grandchildren get here, I need to be close by."

She smiled at my dad.

"We can do that, angel. I'm sure your son and Bella would love it."

They looked at both of us.

I squeezed Bella's hand because I couldn't say a word.

"Yeeaah ... Esmé ... That would be ... wonderful."

She smiled in anguish.

Then it started.

Alice wondered aloud if she shouldn't move here, too - because of Jasper - and Emmett and Rosalie wondered, too.

I believe there is no God. Nice crap! But that would all take time and wouldn't happen right away.

Bella looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders. She rolled her eyes. We grinned at each other.

The food came and the others continued to discuss diligently.

My sweetheart and I just listened.


store number ... 'I have no idea'

I had a suit, new underwear, stockings and so on - so I was completely re-dressed. Now all Bella needed was a dress for the gala and we'd be done. I hoped.

My sweetheart once again stood in a booth and tried on countless dresses that Alice, Rose and my mom brought her. After an hour and a half, the choice fell on two dresses.

I couldn't tell which one she looked better in either. They were both great. One blue and one blue. Light and dark. Now they just wanted to buy shoes.

I looked at my watch - just after five. My feet hurt and I was at the end of my rope.

"Edward, do you want to go off by ourselves? Just for an hour. Then they'll be done with the shoes."

Emmett looked at me hopefully.

Why not. I could not see any danger in the shoe store.

I nodded and we told the others.

Emmett stormed off.

First to a lingerie store.

He wandered through the shelves looking for something nice for Rosalie.

I didn't really dare, so I always walked behind Emmett.

"Don't always run after me. Find something for Bella. Shoo shoo."

He shooed me away.

I felt left alone and did not know what to do.

A really nice saleswoman helped me this time. She asked me about my wishes.

It couldn't be too fancy. Bella didn't like that. She showed me different sets and I couldn't decide, so I took four. For four evenings. In my mind, I was already picturing Bella wearing the black one and lying on the bed, or even better, on my piano. I would put her on top and put myself between her legs ...

"Stop dreaming and drooling."

Emmett was standing in front of me.

Where did he come from?

"Well, it looks like you found something and so did I." He grinned, waving a small bag. "I still want to go to the toy store. We've got another half hour. Are you coming?"

He was still grinning.

"What do you want in a toy store?", I asked in amazement.

"Let's surprise you."

He wiggled his eyebrows and pushed me along.

I followed him and we went to a back corner of the mall.

"Here we are," he said, heading for the door.

I looked at the store and in red letters on a black windowpane was written 'CharmWorld'.

Funny name for a toy store.

"Um ... Emmett. Do you think this is the right place? It doesn't look like a toy store."

"Yes ... it is. A toy store for adults."

What should be here with which adults can play?

He must have seen my skeptical face.

"You'll love it ... I promise."

And already he opened the door and pushed me into the store.

When it dawned on me where he had dragged me, I stopped dead in my tracks and didn't move an inch.

"Emmett, are you crazy!" I whispered in panic.

"Take it easy, Edward. Look around. You don't have to buy anything. Get informed," he said and disappeared.

Now I was standing here and didn't know what to do. I thought about Bella and her research. I could also do research! On the living object, so to speak.

Cautiously I started to move ...

Mmm ... no saleswoman. That's good.

My first stop was in the underwear department. Since the store, where we were just now, was yes the purest kindergarten. My eyes fell on a red nightgown.

Bella in this nothingness ... Good God!

I felt warm and a part of my body stirred that was meant only for Bella. My tiredness and sore feet were forgotten.

I had arrived in the toy department. What there was not everything! Penis rings?

I picked up a bright pink thing, in its packaging, of course.

Delays the climax. I do not need something like that. Works fine without it.

Then came the strap-on dildos.

I don't need anything like that either. I always carry mine on my person. I couldn't make sense of who would need something like that.

On the next shelf there were boxes with women in underwear on them. Different names were written on the packaging - Miranda, Jana, Anne, Sarah and so on.

What the heck is this?

I took a closer look at a package. 'Latex Doll, genuine-feeling' - was written on it.

Who knows what this is supposed to be and the price first - $450. What was in those boxes? Now I was standing in front of a shelf full of ... penis imitations? Dildos and vibrators. Aha ...! In different sizes. Mmm ...! Nevertheless, they were quite small.

"Well, Edward, do you like it?"

Emmett was suddenly standing next to me.

"I don't really know, some yes and a lot no." I shrugged my shoulders. "Why are they all so small?"

I pointed to the shelf in front of me.

Emmett peeked at me in horror and looked down my front.

What was wrong with him? Had I spilled something on myself at dinner and not noticed? I looked down at myself - everything was clean.

"What's the matter? Am I dirty somewhere?"

"No ... all righto ... I ... um ... let's keep moving."

He quickly pushed me along.

We passed whips and handcuffs.

I don't even want to know what you need that for. DVDs ... and there was even bedding and other junk that no longer interested me.

"Um ... Emmett, I found something for Bella. I'll just go get it really quick."

And already I dashed to the shelf with the awesome red nothing.

Three minutes later, I was back next to Emmett, who had two small boxes in his hand.

We went to the checkout and paid. Fortunately, they were simple black bags into which our achievements were put.

On the way back, Emmett was exceptionally quiet, muttering softly to himself the whole time.

I did not understand a word. I again imagined Bella in the awesome nothing. We really had to get home. She should try it on, as soon as possible.

At the shoe store, Bella was visibly annoyed.

My poor darling.

I hugged her from behind and she startled slightly.

"There you are again. And ... have you found something nice?", she asked and kissed me on the cheek.

"Yes honey, I'll show you tonight ... when we're alone," I whispered in her ear.

Bella wanted to ask further, but I denied it and told her it was a surprise.

She loves surprises.

My hands wandered up and down her sides and I kissed her neck.

"Found the store to be good, huh?"

Emmett winked at me.

"So guys, done. We can go home."

Alice was still in a good mood.

Mine was also up significantly.

"Can we have pizza for dinner? I'd die for it."

Rose rubbed her belly.

No one had any objections. So there was pizza, which we went to get on the way.


Home sweet home - happiness alone. Home at last.

By now it was just after seven and everyone was glad to sit down.

Alice was on the phone with Jasper - again. Alice beamed and jumped on the spot.

"What's going on, Alice?", Rose asked.

"Jasper rescheduled our date for Wednesday."

And that's why she was so happy? Strange.

"I'm hungry."

And already she disappeared in the direction of the kitchen.

We got plates, cutlery and glasses and made ourselves comfortable on the sofas.

My mom took the floor.

"When are you going to get married? I'd be happy to help. I could stay right here and get everything ready."

"No, Mom, we don't have an appointment yet. There's still time."

She wanted to stay here - that had to be stopped.

"Esmé, they'll tell you in time," my dad said.

She would not let us have any peace until a date was set.

Bella redirected the topic to Alice and Jasper. It worked. Alice was beside herself with joy and was looking forward to Wednesday like a sandboy.

It was just a dinner date after all!

"Do you know where you guys are going yet?"

My sweetheart looked at her questioningly.

Alice's eyes darted around.

Was she nervous?

"Yes ... I mean no ... I ... I ... don't know."

She did not look at us.

Strange.

Bella looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders.

Rose and Emmett also cast a suspicious glance at her.

For once, my mom didn't get anything - she was talking about our wedding.

Great.

"What are you up to, Alice?"

Rosalie looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"I ... am ... tired and I'm already going to sleep. Bye guys."

She had gotten up and was already running up the stairs.

Tired? Already? It's only a little after nine.

"Do you have any idea what's going on, Bella?", Rose asked my sweetheart.

She shook her head.

"Not a bit."

If Alice could go to bed, so can we.

But Mom had engaged Bella in conversation, and Rose chattered diligently along.

So I was content to kiss and touch her.


"What did you want to show me?"

Bella was leaning against my chest, looking at me.

Now I was getting nervous after all.

If she likes it? Well, I do.

I rummaged through the bags looking for the small black box.

"Here you go, sweetheart. I hope you like it."

She took it and carefully removed the lid. She chuckled and put the box on the bed.

Doesn't she like it? It is certainly too daring.

Bella stood in front of me and pressed a kiss to my lips.

"Be right back."

And already she had disappeared into the bathroom.

I sat down on the bed and got the awesome nothing out of the box. It felt good.

I'm sure I've upset them. It's just too daring and I overshot the mark.

The bathroom door opened, and I choked on my spit.

My sweetheart chuckled.

"Do you like it?"

She came up to me.

"But ... how?"

My throat became dry as dust.

"Rose and Alice dragged me to this store right after you left. Apparently the same one you guys went to."

She smiled at me and came closer.

I got warm and I could see everything - the part did not hide anything.

It's the same as the one I bought - only in black. Coincidences exist!

I stretched out my hand ...

I had to touch her.

She placed herself right in front of me.

"We have, it seems, the same taste," I croaked, my eyes lingering on her breasts.

"Yeah, looks like it," Bella breathed. "And you're wearing too much."

And already she began to open the buttons on my shirt. Her fingers were trembling slightly.

"We can't ... you can't ... I mean ...," I stammered to myself.

"Touching goes," and pulled the shirt over my shoulders.

Oh man, I was hot.

"Stand."

She took my hand and pulled me up. Her hands stroked my torso and came to a stop at the waistband of my pants, but only briefly - and she undid the buttons.

My best piece saw its chance and twitched.

Then she got down on her knees and pulled down my pants.

I think I'm about to faint.

"Get out of your pants."

I could only obey.

She knelt in front of me and grinned.

What was she up to?

Her cheeks reddened and I could no longer hold back a moan.

"Bella ... what ..."

My voice was hoarse, and I had to clear my throat.

"Research, Edward," she whispered, pulling off my underpants. "Lie down on the bed."

I did that immediately and she climbed behind. I reached out my hands and put them on her breasts - now Bella moaned too. They wandered all over her upper body and it felt fantastic. My sweetheart sat on top of me, and I was lost. She kissed me and my hands kept wandering.

"I don't know if I'm going to do this right ... but I'll try," she breathed, and I knew immediately what she was trying to do.

I was no longer capable of a clear thought, let alone saying anything.

She kissed my chest all over, wandering lower while she did so.

My breathing was fast, but enough oxygen still didn't reach my brain. I was so aroused, and my penis was twitching like crazy.

Bella's gaze was focused, and she reached out a finger and ran it over my glans.

"Bella ... Bella ..."

I repeated her name over and over.

She leaned down and I had to close my eyes, or it would be over before it even began. I felt her breath and I clawed my hands into the bed sheet. Her lips touched me, and my hips jerked upward. I squinted my eyes by now. There was no way I could open them and look at Bella ...

Above my ... oh God ...

"Edward, is everything all right ...? I can stop too ..."

Uncertainty resonated in her voice.

"No ... no ... it feels ... Oh Bella ..."

I looked at her and she smiled slightly.

She was as nervous as I was.

"Well then ..."

She bowed her head again and I quickly closed my eyes.

I can't stand that for long. That was torture, but in a good way.

She kissed him and her little tongue ran all over the length.

I had to concentrate, or I would have come right away.

"Bella, I can't take this for long," I gasped hoarsely.

"Mmm ...", she made as she took him just a little in her mouth.

I felt her tongue ...

"Bella ... I ..."

My penis twitched and I came - I could not stop it. So intense and so long I never had an orgasm. He pulsated and just did not stop. That was just ... the bomb.

I opened my eyes and looked at Bella who was looking down at me and licking her lips.

OH MY GOD! IT ALL ENDED UP IN YOUR MOUTH!

"Honey, I'm sorry ..."

She interrupted me.

"It's okay, Edward. I just need to quickly ... drink something."

She got up and went into the bathroom.

How would she taste?

I put on some boxers and Bella came back out of the bathroom.

She smiled, so it could not have been bad. Maybe I should have bought such a penis ring, then I could have enjoyed it longer. But no, practice makes perfect and next time it will be better.

We crawled into bed and Bella snuggled up to me.

What a day!
