Purr ~ Outtake to Shhhhh....





Purr

An outtake from the story Shhhhh.....

.*.*. Edward .*.*.

I stand here overlooking the dance floor next to Peter who is dressed to the nines in his Armani tuxedo.

I watch my father Carlisle dip his bride, who just so happens to also be my mother as they dance among friends and family laughing.

My mother is one of the most stunning women I have seen in her human form, and to now see her as a vampire, she is even more so. The green color of her eyes sparkle clear across the room and I am sure if she had the ability to blush, her flushed cheeks would blend beautifully with her creamy pale skin.

"You should ask her."
 
I turn to look at Peter and tilt my head wondering where this is coming from. He isn't even looking at me when he says it, watching his wife dance with Seth on the dance floor.



"Stop being a selfish ass and ask her. What is it going to hurt? You are bound to her anyway. What is the big deal about saying I do and making it official?"
 

I narrow my eyes at him. I try to bite back the rising anger that this is coming up once again. We just had this conversation not that long ago.

"Just stop right there. I am not going to get married."

"It isn't just about you." He turns now to face me, his eyes burning into mine.

I glare back at him and hiss, "Let it go Peter. Bella and I are mated we don't need a fucking piece of paper that says I am committed to her. Besides, I don't see the point in standing up in a church in front of a God we denied, to now recite some generic vows to profess our love for one another. I doubt highly he cares about anything we do in this life we live."

"What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about the fact that when our life ended, we denied him and went on living. Why in the hell do I want to "do the right thing" now all of a sudden, and vow to love her forever in front of him, when he could care less about us after we denied what we are all destined to do?"


"Who is him?"

"God."

He rolls his eyes and I bare my fangs at him.

"Knock that shit off! I am done with this conversation." I start to move past him but he reaches out, his hand grips my arm at the elbow just below where it is decorated with my mothers white satin and lace garter I captured less than an hour ago.

"This is a sign." He squeezes my arm and nods down towards it and then nods out to the dance floor.

"Her catching the bouquet just makes that sign, that much more real. You may not want to get married, but have you ever asked her once if she wanted to have the opportunity to walk down the aisle? Don't be such a selfish son of a bitch. For once think about the Angel you claim to love more than your own life, and think about how she may feel."

I look down to where he has his grip on me, then move my eyes back up to him after I have clearly given him a warning that he had better take his God damn hands off me, with that look alone.  Peter knows I will rip another limb from his body without hesitation if he pushes me too far. It will not be the first time I have done it, and if he keeps this shit up, I doubt it will be the last.



He drops my arm.

"Did she talk to you about this shit?" I snap.

"No. I just know that she is a woman, and that women tend to want to walk down the aisle at some point in their lives. If anyone deserves to get that, it is Bella for putting up with your possessive, controlling ass."

He storms off.

I look back to the dance floor at Rosalie Hale who is next in line to marry a Cullen.

She and Emmett are tying the knot next month and as much as she is a pain in my ass, she makes my brother happy, so I cannot complain too much about gaining her as a sister-in-law.

My eyes scan the room in search of a missing Angel and when I don't see her, I begin to move through the number of wedding guests around in search of her. I ask those I cross paths with if they have seen her, and when they answer no, a slight wave of panic starts to creep up through my gut.

I still struggle every now and then out of fear of losing her.

I normally would have tethered her to me, but today's events would make it impossible for me to have her so close while I stood up as my father's best man. Now I am regretting that I didn't even bother to bring our matching cuffs to utilize after my duties had been fulfilled.
I make my way towards the French doors that lead to the patio hoping that with all I have that she is just right outside the doors.

My father and mother chose to get married on the island of Maui. Both Carlisle and I own rather large plantation homes here and were able to accommodate many guests for their wedding.

The reception is taking place in a posh hotel that sits along the black sands of the beach. I step outside of the doors picking up her scent instantly.

Off in the distance she is standing barefoot in the surf while looking out over the water, with her shoes dangling from her fingertips.

The breeze whips the soft silken material of her dress against her slender form and the blue silk is a stunning color next to her pale skin. It was hard for me to accept that Bella couldn't be wearing white today because nearly everything she owns is either red or white. I prefer her in the pure color but some ridiculous tradition leaves my hands tied and I had to go through my mother to approve of the color she is wearing now.  



I move so fast, my feet never touching the obnoxious wet black sand that lies on the beach, landing softly on the rock just behind her.
Her head lifts and she inhales.

"I smell something delicious." Her voice trills over the sounds of the pounding surf in front of her where my eyes follow the trail of flowers caught in the tide as they are torn apart and drift out to sea.

The sight of it is a little disheartening to witness. She just caught that bouquet and the flowers looked beautiful in her hand.

I reach out and snatch her off the wet sand to set her on the rock in front of me gently, while my hands
slip around her waist and pull her back to my chest.

She giggles.

"Hmm...Would that be me Angel?" I smile and kiss the back of her head and rest my chin on top of it.

"No. I was referring to the surfer that is surfing at about two o clock from me." and I chuckle at the sassy comment she has just made. I am pretty sure she knows that I cannot help but smirk at the thought of her being sassy.  A sassy Bella always leads to some quality time in our playroom.

"Didn't you like your flowers?" I ask looking down to see them destroyed with the waves crashing over them.



She turns in my arms, dropping the shoes, wraps her arms around my neck, and pulls me in for a soft sweet kiss.

"Did I mention how devilishly handsome you look today?"

"As a matter of fact you did, and thank you."

"Well I am saying it once again. You Mr. Cullen are devilishly handsome. I love the way the light reflects off your skin at this time of day."

"Oh really, why this time?"

"Probably because it's the golden hour." she muses.

I quirk my brow up at her and lean back some to look into her beautiful sparkling eyes.

"Twilight." I reply and look away from her towards the setting sun. "It's supposed to be the safest time for our kind."

"Where did you hear that?" She asks.
I look back down at her and smile. "Not sure where exactly, just one of those things that I had heard through the years in passing."

"I wonder why?" she looks out towards the setting sun.

"I have no idea."

S*h*h*h*h*h.....

Bella's mood over the course of the next few weeks after my parent's wedding has me concerned. She has kept to herself, isn't talking much at all and seems rather melancholy. What makes it even worse is that she will not talk to me about it. I took notice of it that very same night we returned to the house.

Each time I have asked her, she claims nothing is wrong. Even when I have demanded in anger that she tell me what this is about, nothing seems to work.

I went so far as to demand an answer as her Master and her response surprised me. She didn't hesitate to safe word, got up and took off from the house. Naturally, I couldn't let her venture off alone for too long, so I went looking for her.

I found her in the forest sitting on a fallen tree speaking to her self faster than I had ever heard. I couldn't even make out a word she is saying and to my surprise, she isn't even aware of my presence.

She is so lost in her head that I decide to turn and quietly leave her alone as I head back to the house to wait for her to return, once her mood calms down.

Tonight it was going into the third week since the wedding; she has me so worried that I can no longer allow this to continue. I decided earlier today, that tonight I am going to go about this in a completely different way.

There is only one-way to get her to open up and if I have to do it to get to the bottom of what it is that is eating her, I will. There is a high possibility she will slip and show me while I am making love to her.

I move to sit next to her while she is reading curled up in the window seat overlooking the yard. Her pale skin is just a few hues away from the tone of her white little sundress and I lean down to brush my lips over her bare shoulder, giving a little nudge to push the small strap out of its position and watch it slowly fall over her shoulder.

I purr.

It wasn't until I met Bella that I discovered something new about being a vampire. The act of purring isn't discussed among vampires because it is an act that is so intimate between true mates it isn't shared or discussed amongst others who may not be mated.

My father answered many questions that had me curious about this rather strange phenomenon.

To my surprise, he and I discovered that there was something different about Bella and I and the act of purring.

I can purr with just intimate contact with her. If I kiss her somewhere, I have the ability to do it. Where as other vampires only do it after they have mated.
Bella cannot help but respond to my purr, just as I cannot ignore hers. We are not sure if it is something that is exclusive to us like our double fangs or if it is something else that other vampires experience but according to Carlisle it isn't possible for him or any of my other family or closest friends as he has asked around stating that he was researching the act.  

Usually males purr when they are at the end of the act of mating and females respond to it with a softer tone.

Bella and I have discovered that we can purr before we even engage in sex. Carlisle assumes that she and I must have been reborn with the ability, just as we possess the double fangs.

It is a form of communication that we share with one another, and when my Angel purrs, I will bend to her will, just as she will mine.  

A low deep purr rattles through my chest as I nuzzle up to her ear, my finger tracing along her collarbone. She drops her book, stands and turns to face me gripping my tie as she leads me to the bed tugging it all the way over, where she drops it.

She sits down, using her hands as she slides backing up, with her back towards the headboard.

Her eyes fill instantly with desire and lust burns in them, and I know it is in response to my purr. Right on cue, my fangs burst out of my gums, venom drips from the tips and I lick it back.



A few fast movements and both my tie and my shirt are on the floor tattered. I lift my knee up on the edge of the bed to crawl towards her placing myself directly over the top of her. My presence forces her lie back for me.

Then utilizing human speed, I bring my finger up and trace along the edge of the other thin white cotton strap that holds up this adorable sexy dress that fastens with one button on each side just above her breasts. Once I slide the second strap off her, my fingers move further down to the very first button right at the swell of her breasts. I take my time slowly unfastening them one by one, watching her squirm under me. Once they are all unfastened, I peel the dress open to reveal her completely bare naked underneath it.

It doesn't matter how many times I see her naked, every fucking time at first sight she takes my motherfucking breath away and again I purr at the very sight of her.

In merely seconds, both of us are naked.

"Master wants to watch you touch yourself Angel." I command in a softer than usual tone. I have to be careful not to push her with the fragile state she has been in lately.

"I want to see my baby touch it and show me where she wants me to taste her."
I can't help but fight the smile when I murmur, "cue blush." 



Her eyes never leave mine, she hums spreading her legs open while I sit back on my heels and drop my eyes to the softest, sweetest flawless lips of her pussy. A pearl of come drips down from her opening and starts to trail down to her puckered ass.

A growl erupts from my chest at the sight of it.

"That's my girl, look at you all dripping wet and I don't even have to touch any fucking part of you.

Just the sound of my voice alone and that wonderful imagination of yours visualizing me doing so gets my Angel's pussy wet for me doesn't it?"

"Uh...huh." she whimpers as her fingers slide down between her lips, the wet sound echoes in my ear.

"Fuck...wetter than ever." I lick my fangs, snarl, and reach down to grab her ankle and throw her leg over my shoulder.

I lower my face down and take one long lick right up the center of her slit nudging her finger out of the way, so I can take over. 



"Nothing like fucking you baby with the scent of your pussy on my breath." I groan and focus all my efforts on my tongue flicking and licking all over the wet flesh of her pussy. I work her up to become extremely aroused knowing damn well I need to get inside of her head.  

I lift my upper body pressing my hands into the bed and tease her clit mercilessly then lick up around her navel, teasing as I go along. I swirl my tongue over her taught abs and up around to circle her breasts then suck her nipple in between my lips hard and ravenously.

Purrs erupt from her and I keep moving until I am looking right down over top of her.

I lean in and kiss her hard and deep. Our kiss grows frantic while the sounds of animals erupt from between us. I am scraping the surface of her skin with my nails yanking her down and spreading her legs wide open.

I nip softly at her nipples loving how they swell at my touch. I nuzzle into the soft flesh between her breasts, my lips travel down further not missing an inch of her sensitive skin. Her body shivers when I hit those places I know she likes the most. I need to get in her head and I know this is wrong on so many levels, but something is seriously wrong, and if I have to arouse her to at least get a peek, then once I know, I can help her deal with it.

I can sense her emotions are starting to wane, her body relaxing even further, getting lost with me in the moment of our longing for one another. I can now predict the exact moment her mind is going to open up to me, and I am happy to find out that it didn't take long, because my patience has worn so thin in recent weeks in regards to this subject.

I need an answer.

My lips move all over her. Kissing her everywhere and licking her in the places that I missed with my lips. I am moving along her jaw and her moans let me know I am heading in the right direction. 



I kiss her softly getting so lost in the kiss; I forget what it was I was doing because kissing Bella has a tendency to do that to me. Her lips are sweet, soft, and perfect and I could kiss her for hours on end.



With both hands flat on the bed next to her head, I hold the weight of my upper body off her, pushing my hips forward with all that I have, driving all of my length into the heat of the very place where I belong.



"Unnnghhh...fuck Angel." I groan, bringing us together once again as I watch for any signs of discomfort in her eyes. I fill her with every inch of me slowly while I longingly search for anything that can tell me what is going on behind her beautiful chocolate-cherry colored eyes.

I start speaking with the speed only a vampire can decipher. I know she understands what I am saying.



Thankfully, my beautiful Angel never had a problem with keeping eye contact. For a vampire, our eyes express so much and I remember telling her once that her eyes were a gift not to be given to the floor or a wall. A human Dominants standard rule doesn't apply in my world.

I gaze into them while my hips push forward and to watch the pleasure of having me inside of her as it washes over her face is amazing.  


  
My tongue hisses out how good it feels to bury myself as far as I can, deeply inside of her. The roar that comes from my speed, each time our hips smack together, sounds just like rolling thunder on a distant horizon.

Vampire sex is never quiet.   

Her eyes follow my features. The way I grit my teeth, lick my fangs, nip at her lips, and grunt while slamming into her. That little hint of her lip lifts just slightly, under the surface a small smile dares to peeks out. I can see her studying my face while I make love to her. She memorizes every expression, sound, and reaction to only replay our lovemaking repeatedly in her mind while I lay inside of her filling her with everything I have to give.
 

"I love being inside of you...nothing in the world feels this fucking good." I grunt and brush my lips over her cheek, pull back, pushing forward again. Her knees press against my hip and tighten, but she cannot hold me there for long. I slip out from between them and drive into her again.

Her cries become more desperate and I feel her hand slide over my ass cheek. 



I chuckle and growl in her ear at the attempt, that fails every time. Her strength gripping my ass cheek is strong, but her strength is waning as time passes and her newborn life is turning. She tries desperately to push me down deeper into her, guiding me and trying to hold me there once again when her legs clamp onto my hips even tighter.

It takes me nothing to slide back out, moaning as the sensation of her wet pussy tries desperately to hold on to me. Electricity travels through me causing my skin to tingle all the way down to my bones, before I slide right back into her again.


"Edward...please."

"Angel, behave." I murmur against her ear then, lick the shell, and pause to nibble on the lobe of it, flicking my tongue along the curve, and then suck it into my mouth.

I have to remind myself of the reason why I am holding her off like this.

The door opens into her world and, I see it all. Her thoughts fill my head just as if someone had started up one of those old time reel to reel movie projectors.

I see her envisioning the two of us, in of all places a high school. I wonder what that is about and I want to ask but I need to stay focused on pleasuring her so I don't lose the moment and her little inner monologue while we are connected.  

 

It is almost as if she is dreaming inside of her own mind. I have never seen anything like it and I am lost inside of the wonders of Bella's thoughts.

Her soft mental voice startles me and I know I have been caught.

I know you are here with me.

I cannot help but look a little sheepish but I begin gazing at her with wonder.

"What are you showing me?" I slide my hand down and under her knee hitching her leg up on my hip, pushing myself deeper into her.

She closes her eyes, lets out a low moan, the moment I sink all the way down into her.

It is something I have imagined a lot more lately. I wonder if I had been given the chance to of met you as a human, if we would have ended up together. I imagine this quite often, like as if it played out in a past life.

I lose my breath stunned by her words and her images.

"Show me everything Angel."

A haze clears as her eyes focus on an empty chair at a table with other kids. She walks in carrying a tray and sets it down, but something in the room suddenly now has all of her attention, and I follow to where her eyes are looking, now seeing what it is that has her so mesmerized.



It is me sitting there watching her and I look slightly different with more color in my cheeks and no dark circles under my eyes.

I am sure it is the same look I had when I first saw her walk into Lovely, Dark, and Deep. I was so mesmerized by the dark haired beauty, with pale skin, dark eyes, and pouty lips that night and it seems in her dream I feel and react the same way.

You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I don't doubt that as a human you would have been just as beautiful.

I cannot help the smile that breaks out hearing her sweet words. Bella believes I am beautiful and no matter how many times I try to tell her I don't compare to her, she won't hear it.

The scene changes and I am now sitting in what appears to be some sort of lab...or no it is a classroom designed to look like a lab. I see everything through my own eyes, which is oddly strange; it should be from her perspective. I watch her enter and nearly moan when I literally feel warmth flood through me.  



She has me squirming in my seat at the mere sight of her. Her short conversation with the teacher who then guides her in my direction excites me, even if it is a dream. I recognize things around me concluding that we are in a Biology class and she has just been assigned as my new lab partner.

Her eyes catch glimpses of me from the side and I try to bring up a topic of interest failing miserably when I ask her about the weather. 


Apparently, I lost my charisma and charm as a human. I mean really the weather of all things? I chuckle to myself and can feel her tighten around me as her hand brushes over my sensitive nipple, and then out of nowhere she pinches it hard. I hiss in both pleasure and very little pain.

Time passes and not once does she waver from her thoughts. I have to laugh when I watch the banter we seem to engage in while looking into a microscope with some slides to study for this imaginary assignment that almost seems too real to be a dream.




Love fills her thoughts, longing burns behind her eyes, and her lips wonder what it is like to be kissed by a boy. 

If I had a heartbeat, it would be beating out of my chest wildly.

This look, the way she is looking at me says so much, an overwhelming feeling rushes through me.

They are so intense and stronger than anything else I have ever felt before.

We are both so young and innocent and I can feel the ache that she has been carrying over this the past few weeks so strongly, it makes sense now.

Are you still with me? Her mental voice whispers.

I mumble as I drop my head down and push my way under her mane of hair and give a quiet "Yes Angel always." against her throat.

"Don't stop baby...keep going." I ask.

She looks away, sucks her lip in between her teeth, and closes her eyes.

Her mental voice sounds like the harp playing on the wind and has to equal that of an angel singing who sits in the clouds above looking down.

She is speaking so softly without moving her lips as she lies here.

Her beautiful red eyes open, and then brighten and I watch her as she stares off, looking wistfully out the window into the darkness of night.

I never even thought of or imagined a human life with Bella and her little version is so heartbreaking, knowing it will never happen.

I see her remembering her mother, then her father Phil still alive and well as she kisses them goodbye before she heads off to school.

The very first time I lay eyes on you is all it would take.

I pepper her cheeks with small kisses while she shows me, watching me, while I am looking at her.

I have no doubt you would have caught my eye. She turns her head back to me, giving me a small sweet smile.

We are so young and surely naive, oblivious to the responsibilities life is going to bring us and it is such a nice thought to be so carefree in a world of misery.

Her eyes burn into mine now.

I cannot seem to help but smile at the very idea of being human and falling in love with the girl of my dreams. She does this to me and I have no idea how.

Her imagination, and the access she has given me, is the most vivid experience I have ever seen, her mind utterly fascinates me.

“It sounds so sweet.” I reply, studying her face and trying to determine her mood.

What it could have been like to share a class together … discover our feelings for one another and then spend the rest of the year falling in love.

Sadness fills her eyes, and I try to make her see I am right here in front of her and that we are in love. We fell in love. She experienced this already, so what is this really all about?

Did they have prom when you were in school, Edward?

“It really didn’t become a school event until the 1920s. We had spring dances and balls. I didn’t attend any to speak of. Did you enjoy your prom?” I ask.

No one ever asked me. You know I never dated anyone before you.

I shook my head at the thought of how impossible it sounded. How could no one ask her?

I was new to the school. I had so much chaos going on in my life. I didn’t know anyone that last year of high school, and I was still grieving, keeping to myself.

I lift my hand up to caress her cheek, then I roll us over on our sides, making sure we don’t lose our connection, I lay facing her.

“I would have asked you, Angel. I would have loved to have taken you. I would have had you dancing.” My heart aches at the thought.

She gives me a soft smile in response and I fight the anger from within that wants to lunge out over the fact that my girl missed a very important rite of passage that all teenaged girls should have been given the chance to experience.

I probably would have stepped all over your feet.

"I wouldn't have minded." I murmur pressing my lips to her forehead.

I tilt my head and stare off, when she gives me just a moment's glimpse of what she imagined a high school prom would look like.

The details she creates in her thoughts are mesmerizing. She takes my hand moving it to her lips, pressing them to the back of it and then rubs it against the smooth satin skin of her cheek.

Do you think if we had met when we were young, and if both of us were human, that we could have fell in love?

"I have no doubt that you would render me incapacitated by your beauty." I drop my forehead to hers and ask, "What is all of this about Angel? Is this what has you in such a mood? You wished that I were human? That I had not turned you?

You do know that I love you, right?"

I know you love me Edward...can you remember anything from your human life?

"My memories have faded Bella. Yours will too over time."

Do you think that you would have been a Dominant as a human?

"Times were different Bella. Things were a lot less complicated. But some female submissives had a tendency to be submissive before they were turned, so it is possible."

"Are you questioning our D/s relationship?" I ask.

"Not at all. You are my Master. You give me everything I need and so much more than I ever could ask for. I love pleasing you."

"You have a beautiful imagination Angel. Show me more."

I begin to move in and out of her again, pulling her over top of me, allowing her to straddle my hips as I thrust upwards.



She presses her chest against mine, kissing my throat as her mind continues to play.

She is standing in that cafeteria making a plate of food and reaches for an apple.

"Look at you baby, so young, and innocent." I kiss her softly and I get lost in her thoughts where they are so peaceful. I notice for once, I don't experience my usual burning thirst. She has created a dream pulling me in with her that doesn't include death, blood, or fangs. It doesn't have playrooms and most definitely without vampires that seem to want to rule the world in her imaginary dream.

It is just two kids discovering the way they feel for each other. She shows me quick little scenes of this story. Me carrying her books, walking alongside of her to all her classes. 



My favorite so far is the secret meetings in the back of the library to steal a kiss or two when no one is looking. Lunches spent with friends all around us, school nights where we kiss goodnight on her front porch, homework sessions that wind up as make out sessions on either her bed or mine when no one is home. 



"How did we get there?" I speak low, so as not to interrupt the progression.

"I am not telling." she laughs and it warms me to see her laugh once again, but it is quickly replaced when her thoughts switch to a scene where she is playing baseball and both our families are present.  

Her eyes bring me back and she whispers against my ear, "I don't regret our life now. I just like to imagine that once in a while, I grew up like every other teenager out there and fantasize about a world where my parents are still here and my first true love stands by my side, for the rest of my life."

"Oh Bella." I kiss her softly and murmur against her lips how much I love what she has shared with me. It is sweet and beautiful.

"Are you sure you don't regret anything?" I ask.

"Never." she replies and cries out as she is over taken by her orgasm while I move with her, my own chasing only seconds after hers. I wrap my arms around her completely as I pulse deep inside of her. I purr against her throat and catch a glimpse of one more scene.

Bella stands in that gazebo outside of the prom, her eyes looking up at me, her cheeks filled with color.

I hear my own voice as I hold out my hand, and out of nowhere, I lose the connection.

Bella has pulled away, sliding out from under me and I am shocked back into reality.

She has never broken our connection.

Never.

It has always been me. She walks towards the bathroom shutting the door.

I rub my hands over my face and get up to throw on my pants and make my way downstairs.

I pace in the living room waiting for her to come down. She never does and I am a little...no make that a lot upset.

By midnight, I refuse to go to her. I am angry.

I have replayed the events leading up to the moments before this mood made its first appearance.

My father's wedding.

What the fuck happened that day?

I replay the events in my head and stop on the one thing that stands out more than all the rest.

My discussion with Peter.

It was during the reception that Peter went off on me about marriage. He had suggested that I ask her.

Not at any time during those moments did I see any thing that could have alerted me to her wanting to get married.

I went over to my laptop and sat down shooting an email to Peter. 



I gave him specific details that I saw in her thoughts and warned him not to stray from any one of them.

It had to be perfect.

It took two weeks for the ranch to be transformed and I chose to take her to New York claiming that I had business that I need to do for the club with Zafrina.

Once my business was handled, we spent two days shopping, me never having told her that the dress I was looking for had a specific style that had to be met.

When I found what I was looking for, Peter had called to inform me that the work is done.

"Everything is as you requested it. Check your email."

Opening up my email, I clicked on his attachment and smiled, because it was motherfucking perfect, down to every minute detail.  

S*h*h*h*h*h.....

I went in my bedroom to get dressed; selecting my best Armani tuxedo, then laid out her outfit for her and went to go find her.

"Angel, our flight leaves in an hour, your outfit is waiting on the bed, I want you dressed in what I have chosen, the shoes are also at the foot of the bed. Your hair is to be curled, and left down just the way you know I love it. I will be with Eric in the lobby waiting for you."

"Yes Master." she stands up eying me up with an appreciative long glance. I give her a half-crooked smirk.

I bring down the bags handing them to Eric and he gives me the heads up about my new additions that I had requested for my Countach limo.

The new sound system was updated with all Bose speakers, my navigation system was up to date and I am rather happy with the new renovations in the seating, turning the bucket seats it previously had to one long leather bench seat, so that I didn't have any distance between me and Bella when we rode in Lizzie.

Our flight left on time and we arrive at the airport in Illinois on schedule, where a rented limo waits for us to disembark.

I lead Bella to the car and climb in behind her.

"Master, is there something I should be prepared for?" she asks trying to find a way to ask without being punished for inquiring as we head for the house.

I chuckle. "Nothing to worry your pretty little head about." I kiss her nose and move my lips over to kiss on her ear, inhaling her sweet scent while nuzzling into her thick hair.

"You look absolutely stunning. This dress on you has to be the sexiest thing I have seen you in yet." I murmur against her ear.
She hums in response and whispers, "Thank you for buying it, and I am glad you like it."

"Oh, I really do like it." I reach out to grip her chin and turn her to look at me.

"I truly hope I don't disappoint you this evening." I press my lips to hers once and her expression tells me she is even more confused. 

As soon as we pull up to the house, I can see the lights aglow from around the backside of the house. Music echoes through the forest that plays out from the trees above. The sound system sounds perfect even in the car. Once we stop and our door is open, I reach out and take her hand pulling her behind me as I climb out. I thank our driver and nod towards the front door where he is to leave our luggage.

Bella doesn't say a word as she holds my hand following me as I lead her down the lit path of a long white runner that guides us in the right direction.



When we turn the corner, Bella stops completely.

Her mouth falls open and she stares out into the back yard where the identical gazebo from her thoughts sits. It is lit up with thousands of lights wrapped in ivy vines and a spinning wooden dance floor.

The pictures Peter sent did not do it justice. Even I am taken aback by how spectacular of a replica it is. It is almost as if it really is taken right out of her own head.

I turn towards her and her wide eyes are welling with un-spilled venom.

"Edward...." she whispers. Her voice is so quiet.

I pull her along and lead her up the stairs stepping out into the center of it and I turn to face her.

"Shall we?"

"You're serious?"

"Oh, why not?"

I reach out, slip my arm around her waist, and lift her up settling her feet on top of mine, looking down at her. 



The floor spins at a slow speed and I keep my movements at that of a humans pace. I want this to be everything like her dream, minus the fact that we are the only things in this dream that are not true to her memory. As much as I wished it were possible, I simply cannot make us human.  

She looks up at me and I smile at her. "See your dancing."

"At prom." she says with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"At prom." I stare into my Angel's eyes and everything around me goes out of focus for a moment and all I see is her, but he is taking over.

She is everything we could ever want. I won't live my life without her and you may not consider marriage something that is important, but you aren't the only one involved here motherfucker. I believe Peter and we need to make her ours in every fucking way and with all this romantic bullshit you have pulled out tonight, now is the perfect time to do this! Get down on your fucking knee and I will ask her if you don't have the balls to do it. Either way she will be tied to us in every way. I fucking demand it motherfucker. So who is going to ask her? You or me?

I lift her up and set her on her own two feet.

I don't have anything prepared and this is definitely something I would prepare for.

Not this time.

I swallow hard as Bella stands here. Our dancing has come to a complete halt.

"Bear with me a minute Angel." I gather my thoughts and try to tune him out.

No, no, no...you don't get to tune me out now Edward. Go ahead, you start, and if you stumble then I will be right there to clue you the fuck in where to go.

Taking both her hands into mine, I slowly drop down on one knee. I am nervous as fuck because this isn't a position a Dominant would ever find himself in, and most definitely not this one. I am so out of my element, it isn't even funny.

I watch her expression fall. Her face is completely unreadable at first, then her eyes widen, when she realizes what I am doing.

"Isabella Swan, you already belong to me. You know it and I know it. I want you bound to me in every way and this is the last step we haven't taken. You will always be mine and I think it is about fucking time I added the cherry on fucking top. You have me, you have everything that is mine, and you wear my collar, now I want you to wear a ring around that finger that wraps it all up nice and tight. Marry me Angel and I swear to God, we will love you for the rest of time."  

Her smile had grown slowly over the course of my asking and by the time I was done, she was nodding a fucking yes, just not saying it aloud.

I almost frown wondering when we had gone back to nodding answers. I couldn't fucking pass the moment up, standing up at full height I reach out and wrap my arm around her waist and pull her body into mine hard. I slide my hand under her hair at the nape of her neck and wrap a handful of hair around my fist.

"Angel...you haven't done this in quite a while and you know better, now I want to hear the words, because this nodding shit isn't cutting it for me at a moment like this."

"Yes!" she squeals out so loud, surprising the fuck out of me, launching her legs up to wrap around my waist.

I grunt at the unexpected movement.

A huge smile erupts from me and I wrap my arms around her tight and hug the shit out of her.

"Thank you baby." I find her lips and claim them completely.

I freeze and pull back; looking into her eyes, the moment I recognize the twang of the guitar of an all too familiar song surrounds us. Bella is looking up at me, her brow furrows slightly and I know that Bella's human memory hasn't faded in the least. Even if it is for a fleeting moment, I can see that hint of sadness that reminds her of a moment I am not at all proud of.

The world was on fire, no one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

Bella's leg's slowly let go of my hips and her grip on me loosens as her heels hit the wooden dance floor. It is still turning under our feet and I refuse to let her go when I feel her attempt to pull back away from me.

No fucking way is that happening.
Sadly, the same song played the night that I left her on the dance floor and attempted to walk out of her life.  I could kill Peter for having of all songs on the play list. What are the fucking odds? Then again, he was not there that night at the club and I never discussed it or brought it up.

Apparently neither did Bella.  

"Bella."

I don't know what to really say to her right now. What I did that night was inexcusable and I will never be able to make up for it.  

"Edward please," she tries to remove herself from my arms and there is no way in fuck I am letting that happen.

"Not again, not this time." I let her see that I am serious and that I am not letting her leave.

I take her hand spinning her around to turn her away from me, and then wrap my arm around her waist, allowing it to rest on her stomach. I move so fast she isn't given an opportunity to pull away from me. Her back is now flush against my chest just as it was the night we had our first dance.  
I lean in and whisper in her ear. "Allow me to finish what I started Angel, please." I press my lips to her ear and beg her. "Please, baby, let me make it right." 



"Let me show you that I am not going anywhere. That when it ends, I will be right here." I close my eyes humming and swaying to the music and I relax some when I feel the tension in her body relax slightly giving in to let me take the lead.

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you

I continue to hold her close singing the right lyrics in her ear and swaying back and forth to the beat of the song that I nearly lost her over, once upon a time.

"And I want to fall in love with you." I murmur against her temple, her body voluntarily swaying with my own.

I twirl her around, drop my hands to her face cradling it, and end the song pressing my lips to hers. I kiss her softer than I have ever kissed her before, the way she kissed me the first time. I licked my tongue over the underside of her lips and wrapped it around her tongue indulging in her sweet venom.

I don't close my eyes once the whole time my lips are on hers, and when hers open, mine are already burning with need to tell her.

"That is the way our dance should have ended. I was a fool to think I could stay away from you. I am so sorry Bella. So very fucking sorry.

She reaches up and presses her finger over my lips. "Don't."

Last dance...

He breaks me out of my concentration and now is definitely not the time for him to make an appearance.

Not like you can control it motherfucker...

"Congratulations Angel, really love the way you look so fucking innocent in the dress, but the whole prom theme idea is a little too much for this big bad vampire to appreciate at the moment. Speaking of which, I think it is about time to bring up a well-known fact about a rather poor attitude you have been displaying recently. You do realize that this as a punishable offence, don't you?"

I watch her eyes narrow for a brief moment and give a low growl in warning.

"Ah, ah...don't you dare disrespect me now little girl. I highly recommend you do everything you can to make me a very happy vampire. Do you agree?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes, Master."

 I smile wickedly.

"Oh Bella, you have been a very, bad, bad, little girl the last few weeks. You have been keeping secrets and you know that isn't how you were trained."

Her grip loosens and she stares right at the big bad vampire who now has her in his grasp.

"Surprised?" I taunt. "Yeah...someone has been a very, very, very, naughty girl."

"I hope you have had your share of dancing, shall we?" I nod towards the house and she nods once and turns towards the house. I let go and watch her walk in front of me down the stairs and to the house.


When she hits the third floor, she knows she is to pause until I give her permission to enter the playroom.

I walk past her and open the doors and turn to face her.

"If you want to keep the dress, I suggest you remove it, because I have no intention of being gentle tonight."

I walk around her slowly and unzip the back of it all the way down.

"Completely naked and wait for me in front of the mirror at the foot of my bed. I
will be back."

I can hear her removing her clothes once I grab what I am looking for and head back just in time to watch her bring her foot up and unfasten the strap of her sandal. She slides it off her foot and repeats the same with the other.

I reach up and grip two of the chains that hang from the overhead system and stop right over top of her. 



I reach around her, pick up the cuffs for her wrists, and put them on checking to assure they are tight enough, and then slide the ring through the heavy-duty clip fastening her right hand up. I slide the chain and lock it into place. 

"Turn and face the bed." I demand and fasten her left hand the same way. I leave no room for any leeway.

I cannot resist one touch and my finger traces down over her shoulder moves along her spine and to the top of the crack of her ass, and then slowly bring it up again, to gather her hair. I twist one tie around it and press my nose against her neck.

"Yummy."

She shivers and I know this is going to be one hell of a punishment for her, but it will sure the fuck get me off on it.

"Eyes on me in the mirror little girl." I demand and stand back behind her off to the side where she has a perfect view of me.

I slowly slide my jacket off and lay it on the chair neatly. Turn back and keep eye contact as I tug one end of my tie and slide it out of my collar. I bring it around and wrap it around her mouth, tightening it behind her head in a strong knot. 

"You wanted to remain silent, and so you shall." I growl. 



I remove my cuff links tossing them on the table and start to unfasten each button slowly leaving her hanging as I take my time. 

On the last button, I pull it out of my pants and let it hang, then unzip my pants, kicking off my shoes and pulling off my socks I don't dare let her look anywhere else without my knowing it.
 
I smirk when her lip twitches the moment I drop my pants, lean down pick them up and lay them over the chair. 

I move around and step up onto the bed in front of her bringing my hands above my head to grip the metal frame of the bed frame. I eye her up and drop one hand over my chest rubbing up and down it.

"Deprivation of touch is a hard pill to swallow, and tonight, I think you deserve a double dose of that baby. This is how we are going to do this. You get to stand there all tied up and gagged and watch me touch something that I know you will want desperately...as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure you are already well on your way to wanting it. So...let's begin shall we?"

I pull my dress shirt off and toss it over to the side. I yank my boxers down and toss them off as well, my erection smacking against my abs as it springs out.  

I kick several pillows up towards the headboard and drop down lying back to look up at her, bringing one hand behind my head.  

"Eyes stay on mine little girl." I demand.

I can hear her stress the chains above her and snarl once.

"Don't you dare Bella." she whimpers and I smile.

I let my hand rub over my chest slowly bringing it down to my navel. I watch her fight with all she has not to drop her eyes.

My cock is rock fucking hard, I wrap my hand around it, and squeeze, the sensation is so fucking intense doing this right in front of her.  

"Oh fuck yeah!" I groan out by the pleasure of my own hand.

"Don't you dare drop those eyes." I state and let my head fall back some and close my eyes enjoying the cruel act I am inducing on her.

"You want this don't you, naughty little Angel?"  My entire hand wrapped around the base of my shaft, I stroke up once twisting my hand and pump down hard on it, then repeat the motions quickly.

Opening my eyes, I give her a half-crooked smirk and bare my fangs.

"This is your punishment Isabella. Don't you dare ever hide anything that goes through that head of yours from your Master and your mate. Is that clear?" I wait for her answer and groan as my hand fisting my cock speeds up furiously faster than ever.

Just as I am about to erupt, I hear her whimper, trying to rub her legs together. I stand above her over the bed, aim my cock right at her chest, and spray thick long streams of come all over her pert little tits.

I can actually see the anguish in her expression.

"Next time, you know better." reaching around behind her, I untie the bow tie from her mouth, tossing it to the floor. I grip her chin between my finger, thumb, and hold her face firmly in place. "Are you sorry?" I ask.

"Yes, Master, very."  I squeeze her cheeks harder and hiss against her ear.

"You know you really don't deserve any pleasure at all. It's too bad, I am no where near done. I step off the bed and walk around behind her. I reach around and bring my finger up to trace through my come rubbing it over her nipples that grow even harder.

I drop down to my knees and scrape my fangs over her round little ass.

"Time for a real good old fashioned ass whipping little girl." I bite gently into one of her ass cheeks, not breaking the skin, then smack it once swiftly with force and stand up to get better leverage.

I wrap my arm around her, tighten my hold, and begin to slap her ass hard and fast over the same cheek watching it pinken up but not enough to my liking. I switch sides and listen to her hiss and snarl as I work the other one with just as much force.

I raise my voice, walking around her and fist her hair. "Don't you ever....ever....keep anything from us again. I will tie you down to that intimidator for a god damn month!"

"You leave me so fucking unsatisfied...and although its bullshit that I want to pound on that pussy....I have no choice so this is what you had better do. I don't fucking care how you accomplish it Angel, but don't you dare fail. You are not allowed to come at all. The whole time I am fucking you, this is about me. Me and my fucking cock. I want what I want and your hot little pussy is on my list. It can get wet; you just better make damn sure you hold that orgasm."

One hand on her hip I pull her back and up some, guide my hard cock up against her pussy from behind, then slam my length into her as both hands reach around to use her tits for leverage. I pump in and out of her forcing her to lick my hands clean after I have massaged half of my come into her tits.

She is moaning so loudly and crying for it harder and I am happy to oblige.

I push her hair up off the back of her neck and lick.

"That's it baby....every part of this neck is mine and you may as well bare the mark of your big bad vampire all over it!" I hiss and sink my fangs into the back of her neck and drink slamming into her hard while I come violently into her.

I yell at her feeling her tighten on me. "Don't fucking come!" I smack her ass so hard she screams out in pain.

I drink and hum as she floods my mouth with pure sweet venom and blood.

I unlock my fangs from her, licking her wounds, yanking her right hand down, tearing at the cuff that is around her wrist and toss it away. I look over her shoulder and hold her hand out to show her the diamond ring now wrapped around her finger.

"Ours." I kiss the back of her neck and before I pull away, I ruin the rest of her night.

"She is not allowed to orgasm for the same amount of time she held that little secret in. Seventeen fucking days little girl, that you don't get to come....and he won't go against it, because he is mad as hell about you pulling this safe word bullshit. That is not how safe words are used Isabella. It is going to a long three weeks."

I allow him to have her back once again. I smirk when his voice whispers in her ear, "God, I am still coming." and a deep purr erupts from his throat.

I finally interrupt his thoughts, with one of my own.

"I got dibs motherfucker"--I grin like the devil--"you can have her on our wedding night, I control the honeymoon." 

I throw my head back laughing manically.

Author's note ~ I want to send out a very heartfelt thank you to my Beta for this chapter of our Purrward. 

AJASPER4ME Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help with this. She hasn't even read the story but did an awesome job making me look smarter than I am. You rawk darlin!! Truly!

Note...the lyrics are from the song Wicked Games by Chris Isaac as it was in chapter 9 of Shhhhh....

Yeah I know we weren't supposed to post our outtakes till January but I have always had an extremely hard time following rules. This one truly deserves to be broken for reasons I cannot go into without shaking the foundation of this fandom, so we will just leave it at that and hope they just let this slide. 
 
I truly hope I did this proposal justice. I know it is sort of over the top as far as sickening sweet and syrupy with all the Twilight history in it, but I so wanted to take this story back to what brought me here to begin with. 

Purrward continues to speak to me and when he does I try to stop and write what he wants me to and I will always share with you in the future...

I rarely ask for reviews from my readers, and this is going to be one of those times...because I really really truly want to know what you think about this outtake. So please let me know.



♥Thanks for loving this story as much as I have loved writing every single word of it for all of you. I have said it before and it bears repeating that my readers are the most awesome readers who never judge me for my bad grammar, lack of beta and support me when the mean girls want to report me to the principle because they want to rule the sandbox. I appreciate each and every one of you and I hope you enjoy anything I do in the future.♥


Andrea aka always and forever...

Purr.....

an outtake from S*h*h*h*h*h......
by: Robshandmonkey


She looks away and sucks her lip in between her teeth and closes her eyes.

Her mental voice sounds like the harp playing on the wind and has to equal that of an angel singing who sits in the clouds above looking down.

She is speaking so softly without moving her lips as she lies here beneath me.

Her beautiful red eyes open, and then brighten and I watch her as she stares off, looking wistfully out the window into the darkness of night.

I never even thought of or imagined a human life with Bella and her little version is so fucking heartbreaking, knowing it will never happen.

I see her remembering her mother, then her father Phil still alive and well as she kisses them goodbye before she heads off to school.

The very first time I lay eyes on you is all it would take.

I move in and out of her slowly and pepper her cheeks with small kisses while she shows me, watching me, while I am looking at her.

I have no doubt you would have caught my eye. She turns her head back to me, giving me a small sweet smile.

We are so young and surely naive, oblivious to the responsibilities life is going to bring us and it's such a nice thought to be so carefree in a world of misery.

Her eyes burn into mine now.

I cannot seem to help but smile at the very idea of being human and falling in love with the girl of my dreams. She does this to me and I have no idea how.

Her imagination, and the access she has given me, is the most vivid experience I have ever seen, her mind utterly fascinates me.

"It sounds so sweet." I reply, studying her face and trying to determine her mood.

What it could have been like to share a class together ... discover our feelings for one another and then spend the rest of the year falling in love.

Sadness fills her eyes, and I try to make her see I am right here in front of her and that we are in love. We fell in love. She experienced this already, so what is this really all about? 

Did they have prom when you were in school, Edward?

"It really didn't become a school event until the 1920s. We had spring dances and balls. I didn't attend any to speak of. Did you enjoy your prom?" I ask.

No one ever asked me. You know I never dated anyone before you.

I shook my head at the thought of how impossible it sounded. How could no one ask her?

I was new to the school. I had so much chaos going on in my life. I didn't know anyone that last year of high school, and I was still grieving, keeping to myself.

I lift my hand up to caress her cheek, then I roll us over on our sides, making sure we don't lose our connection, I lay facing her.

"I would have asked you, Angel. I would have loved to have taken you. I would have had you dancing." My heart aches at the thought.


 Thank you Robshandmonkey ~

~EDWARD

As we pull up to the front of the Plaza and I climb out first with my family behind me.
My eyes scan the entire perimeter of the house. I have tagged nine men with Cuerno de chivo that are visible in plain sight patrolling the grounds.

However, I hear fourteen heartbeats on the outside of the house.  

I tilt my head and look around the place once more quickly deciphering the approximate location of each one of their guard who sit strategically positioned, should violence erupt.

The faint voices speaking a cross between Italian and Spanish come from inside of the house. I inhale a stale lingering scent of cigar smoke, what I am sure is Spanish food, and many other scents that I try to catalog as to where they are coming from and why as we near the front entry.

I can feel the tension radiate off the nervous men who are ready. If anything goes wrong, I won't hesitate to react. I have already made that decision. I will protect my family, even if it means that they find out my secret. The danger all around us really is no different that if we were dealing with any other mafia, or friend. This is how our lives are. We take risks when dealing with unsavory people. However, this is the only life I know and everything my father taught me has led me to here.

He believed in me.

"You are of my flesh and blood my dearest Edward. You trust me to make decisions, so I want you to trust this decision more than all the others. The decision to appoint you as the next in line is the easiest one I have ever had to make. I know deep down in my heart, that choosing you to be the one to lead this family in the next generation is going to change the way we operate. You are smarter than anyone I know. You show little to no fear and your ability to make things happen has proven that you will not hesitate to change any thing especially if it improves the way things work. Just keep to the Omerta. The only right answer that lies in that oath is right there.  Loyalty first, foremost and always."  


I put on the mask as we move towards the huge elegant heavy wood door when it is thrown open causing Emmett to pull out his gun and aim it at Marcus. I hear several guns now engaged around us and I put my hands up to show them we mean no harm and that it was an honest mistake. Little do they know that if they aimed and fired at me not a damn thing would happen.

Marcus laughs.

"I see some are not as brave and calm as you are Masen." He looks around at everyone with us.

"Hello Marcus. Emmett put your gun away." 

He mutters a sorry under his breath.

An even bigger smile forms as Marcus takes the cigar from his mouth and with his other hand, he reaches out to shake.

"Masen son, welcome to the Plaza. Come in, come in."

I follow behind him as he leads us through the ornately decorated entry. I take note of the seven heartbeats that are at posts just past the entryway. Some are visible, some are not' and they eye us up suspiciously and I pray to God no one gets trigger-happy.

I turn to look at Emmett and check on him. He seems to of calmed a hair.

We enter into a huge room that has a desk at the head of it. It is extravagant and fits with the decorum of the room.

"How was your trip?"

"Fine, Thank you for asking."

"Let's get down to business shall we?"

I nod and turn to his men who are carrying the red steel trunk that I had insisted be brought into the meeting with them.



"If you will?" I nod at one of his men.

Everyone looks on, he pops the trunk open, I hear a collective round of Italian words, and Spanish and English spoken among the many people in the room.

I nod to one of his men to go ahead and pick one up.

He pulls out the first weapon.

"The most deadly/efficient rifle in the world today is indisputably the M16A2-A4 series and its cousin, the M4. It's ergonomic, very accurate, light, accepts a wide range of optics and other "tactical" gear, has a wide range of possible receivers  and is the weapon of choice for Navy SEALs, Marine Force Recon, Delta, the SAS, and countless other organizations with whom danger is their business. Yes, the early AR series had its faults, do to misconceptions and DoD failures, but they've been addressed. The direct gas impingement system, while dirty, saves space, weight, and lowers recoil, and hey, the AR family has gas piston receivers if you don't want to worry about that. Just clean your rifle, like any decent rifleman ought to be doing, and the M16/M4 family will pay off."

"Very nice." Marcus nods. "And exactly how did you come to own this weapon, among the many others I see in the chest?"

"Ah, there are some things that must remain secret Marcus; surely you have many of your own." I smirk.

He laughs.

"Okay Masen, what is the traceability on this?"

"None. I will tell you that according to any US agency, this weapon doesn't exist."

"Oh really?" His brows rise up creasing his forehead.

"Yes sir. You don't even need to utilize a straw purchaser." I assure him.

"What is a straw purchaser?" Emmett asks.

Marcus goes on to explain it to him. It isn't common knowledge in our business so I can understand why he wouldn't know this. 

"Surrogate purchasers of gun consist of someone who is licensed to purchase a gun but does so on behalf of someone who is not. Cartel sicarios have a system of straw purchasers, as do we. It is only needed in the states naturally." He grins with a devilish smile behind his words.

"Shall we go on?" I suggest and nod towards the person that is shuffling through the chest of toys.

He pulls out some ammunition, handing it to Marcus. 

"Matapolicia...bullets of heavy caliber that can penetrate vests. Police killers — ordinarily used when attacking police or members of the military." I inform him.

Over the course of the remainder of the meeting, we discuss various details, including price, the method of delivery for any future shipments, and the general details that go into a huge deal like this.

He goes on to explain what he can offer us and I listen to his sales pitch and agree with him supplying drugs to our business. 

I cannot help but smile over the fact that the Masen-Cullen family is now their main supplier for all their weapons needs. We don't need their drugs nearly as badly as they need more weapons so I am at an advantage.

Carlisle's idea is excellent. We have no fear of backlash or traceability issues to worry about.

Over the course of the next couple of days, Marcus treats us like Royalty. We are wined, dined, and given tours of the city sights, while all the supplies from the second plane are being carefully unloaded and distributed to his men and the rest placed into storage.

We handle the money end of our deals, wiring to one another's account overseas. 

I will worry about distributing it when we return home. 

Things were going along smoothly, almost too smoothly for my own liking and I began to worry.

On the fifth day we were here, the air was stifling and hotter than ever. My family has become antsy and is anxious to get back home. 

I spoke to Isabella only once, not willing to chance being overheard and it was from a bar in the city. Her voice broke my heart to hear so much sadness in it. I was starting to understand how she felt. 

I am sitting with Marcus in his office with a few of my family members when a subject is brought up that raises the hair on the back of my neck and I fight the will with all I have to hold my fangs in their place.

I hold the mask on, but just barely.  

"I hear you are a guardian." Marcus smiles at me and it takes every thing I have in me, and I mean everything, to keep control of my response. I have to hold my temper and my composure, where Bella is concerned; it is the hardest thing I am ever going to have to do. I don't know how they know this information and all I can think about is that someone in the family is playing for them. No one besides the Stanley's know I am her guardian and I am pretty damn fucking sure that they didn't offer up the information.

My father speaks to me from the dead, his voice haunts me at times, and this would be one of them.

"Remember Edward. Stay stoic in the face of any horror you are presented with. They are testing for a response. Any sign that what they are using may be a weakness against you. It is only then that if you succeed in keeping a poker face until you are out of their presence, then you will know that you are winning. If you lose control, slip, and even so much as flinch in the slightest way, you are giving the m what they are looking for. Do NOT let them see your tell. Under any circumstances. Your tell will be what does you in and it would be the best if you had no tell at all, but every man has a tell."

"What is yours?"

"My tell?"

"No, your weakness."

"You and your mother."

It suddenly hits me that he never included Jasper. Why would he not include his adopted son? He is my brother. I try to remember where I am and what I am doing having got lost in that thought.

Fuck.

What did I do in front of Marcus while that memory played out?

My eyes meet with Marcus again. He doesn't look phased.

"Just an abused girl I took in to get her out of an abusive home. I cannot tolerate children being abused."

He nods once. "I respect that."

I glance over at Carlisle and he is watching someone else who has just entered the room. My eyes follow the person by the door and he looks oddly familiar.

I would almost say he looks a lot like Jasper.

"Riley, son, come...let me introduce you to our newest business partner."

My eyes scan over to where Jasper is sitting. He is watching very carefully and I would swear I saw him give the slightest hint of a nod, when this Riley person made eye contact with him.  

Strange.

"Riley this is Edward Masen. The family has chosen to utilize the Masen-Cullen family to supply all our weapons in the future."

Riley nods looking right at me and I don't like the look he is giving me along with the fact that he gives off the strongest sense of danger I have ever felt coming from a human. It is coming off him in waves and I don't like it, nor do I like him. 

Our meeting ends quite abruptly making an excuse to call and check on my mother, I depart to head back to my hotel room. It doesn't take me long to decide it's time to get the fuck out of here.

I make the call and inform Marcus my mother needs me to return, as she still worries about me. 

We say our goodbyes and many of us relax the moment we board our plane. We are in the air within the hour and I calculate the time I would make it back to LA. It will be late in the evening.

I know it is a school night for Isabella and I don't care because for the first time, I am keeping her out for a very inexcusable reason, and I still don't care even while I find myself breaking my own rules.

The moment we touch down, I am on the phone with my mother, then Jacob and while my family heads home with Felix and Garrett driving them back to the house, I head for the car rental agency to rent a car to meet with Jacob.

I sit here and wait tapping my finger on the steering wheel.

I pull out my phone and send him a text.

Tick Tock.

He responds immediately and I frown because that would mean he is driving, and this doesn't sit well with me.

Tick Tock my ass...LA traffic or did you forget? He replies.

What the fuck are you doing texting and driving?

 I groan when it beeps again hoping he wouldn't see it as anything other than rhetorical. I was wrong.

I am not driving. That is the point. I am sitting in a traffic jam. She is right here as you requested. She is nervous as fuck. She doesn't trust me. I wished she would relax. She is starting to make me fucking nervous.

I reply. I will see if I can get her to calm down.

I pull up a new message and send it to her.

One of these days, I am going to kiss you under that tree that I first saw you in baby, I miss you. *Edward*

A few seconds pass and Jacob replies.

I think I am about to throw up.

I glare at the phone.

You better not have read that motherfucker....I will gut you and feed you to the sharks! I threaten.

I didn't have to. The grin on her face says far more than anything you could have typed. Dude...I can't believe you found a female that can put up with you and this life style. I am just surprised you are so hot for jailbait, but then...again...maybe not. ha ha!

That feeling is rolling around inside of me again. The same feeling that came out of nowhere nearly cripples me when I was down south.
The strong sense of needing to see her, to touch her is back. I know she is fine. She is with Jacob, but she has not responded yet. Why the fuck isn't she responding?  

Jacob...use your fucking GPS and get the fuck off the damn freeway, and what is she doing that she isn't responding?

He doesn't respond and I sit here as a low fog rolls in. My nerves are on edge. I inhale and the scent of the new rental car I am sitting in, and the smell of leather fills my nose.

I climb out, light a cigarette, and wait anxiously. I know she was with my mom up until Jacob picked her up. My eyes move to look up at the full moon overhead as I accept the fact that smoking doesn't do what it used to do for me when I smoke now. It just hangs in my lungs and dissipates when I blow it out getting nothing out of it but a familiar action I did a long time ago.



I don't really know why I do it anymore. I guess for that simple reason that it is familiar and it may even calm me, not physically of course, but psychologically. I don't really care that Vampires most likely don't smoke. This one fucking does, even if it does nothing.

I can hear the sound of an engine nearing the park and I inhale deeply taking in all the air I can.

Then, I can smell her and I can hear her distinctly beautiful and familiar heartbeat. That sweet sound that not only calms me, but calms the beast inside of me when it sings to us, reminding us that she is here and she is safer the closer she gets to me.

It is as if everything in my world is suddenly right again.

My cold body feels so serene as the feeling washes over me. It feels like my cold form almost warms up with each thump her heart puts out. This week had been so full of tense moments and I have not felt this relaxed now, since long before I left.

Jacob's headlights don't even phase my eyesight when they hit me. I look right into his windshield and I can see her looking at Jacob with a furrowed brow. It takes me a minute to figure out why she looks so worried. She must be truly frightened coming up the hillside of Hollywood to the park where she has no idea I am waiting for her with him. She doesn't trust him. The fear in her eyes causes my heart to ache that I am putting her through this, when all I wanted to do was surprise her.

Look at me Bella. I am right here. You are safe. Turn your head and look this way.
   
Finally when she does, I see the deeply etched V that has formed, not really sure if she sees me with the headlights shining in her eyes. I move to step down slowly off the hood and stand off to the side so she can finally see who it is, waiting here.

I watch her expression slowly change, she mouths my name, and the spark in her eyes light up cluing me into the fact that she knows for sure now that it is me. Her fingers come up to her lips, her smile  grows under her fingertips, then her eyes shine and glisten with unshed tears.

I know baby...I missed you too. So much.

I am getting it out of the way now, because the minute she is in my arms, my lips are going to be all over her!

Jacob stops right in front of me stirring up dirt from the rarely traveled dirt road. This park overlooks the greater Los Angeles area right next to the Griffith Observatory and is one of my favorite places to look at the stars. This is the service road for those that work here and I made prior arrangements with a dear friend getting his approval to be up here after hours.   

I glance over at Jacob who smirks shutting off his engine. I have no idea why because the fucker isn't sticking around and to let him know that fact, I glare directly at him realizing I don't know what my eye color is at the moment but I don't fucking care. It had been hours since I had put on contacts. He grips the steering wheel and nods once taking the obvious hint starting the car back up; just as Bella throws open her door and jumps out.

"Edward!" Her voice is the sweetest sound ever.

My eyes drop down to her long bare legs and a smile breaks out from me watching as she takes off running right for me full speed in my favorite hot little school uniform of hers.

"Hey baby girl." 

I prepare myself for her assault taking notice that her arms reach out towards me. Her intentions of launching herself most likely, clear off the ground and into my waiting arms are obvious. My body doesn't even flinch because her assault is as light as a feather and that sweet moment when the heat of her body crashes into me, I bury my face into her long chocolate mane and inhale her pure sweet scent, hugging her as tight as I am allowed, though I wished it was far more tighter.

"I missed you so much!" I spin her around while she cries into my neck and the warmth of her sweet breath relaxes me even further. I relish in the heat of her hot little lip with each distinct little kiss they make trails along my throat and up to my mouth where she takes total control over my mouth. 

My baby girls lips are like silk and her kisses are always so soft and sweet but this kiss is different. She is damn near devouring me with her strong need and her hot little tongue taking over my entire mouth.  

I ease up my hold because I can feel it is far too tight for a human. I am reminded that I can crush her with my bare hands and I cannot lose focus of that.

The crunching sound of tires fill my ears as Jacob has backed up the car, turned to pull away leaving us both completely alone up here in the darkness.

Our kiss grows even more frantic when reality truly slams into me as to how desperately I need her in my life. 

Out of nowhere, it hits me like a wrecking ball. 

I am not just falling for Isabella. I am already there! 

Bella makes me feel human again and that feeling is so indescribable for a vampire.

If I could have anything, the one thing I would ask for was to simply be human more than anything once again just for her.

This feeling of losing her at any given moment makes me realize just how fragile her life really is.

Then, the fact that Marcus knows what he does about her role in my life has me worried as to how much he really knows. 

I cast that thought out of my head because Bella is the only thing I can feel in my arms, kiss with my lips, and I am about to lose my shit over the fact that I fucking missed her this damn much.

I can't believe just how fucking much almost to the point that I ache and long for her, worse than any feeling I have ever felt before and a strange sensation that feels similar to a hot burning sensation fills my throat, reminding me of the burn I get for human blood when I have gone too long without it. 

I pull back and say her name in a desperate tone that sounds nothing at all like me as these feelings overwhelm me and sob out her name. 

"Bella..." 

My thumb comes up to brush away the wet tears from under her lids and I try to comfort her.

I feel completely lost not understanding how she knew this all along. It explains everything about the way she had been acting before I left. She knew it because she feels it too. 

She knew my leaving and being away from her this long would hurt worse than anything else in the world. 

"...I am here. Right here. I am so sorry; I didn't realize what leaving for so long would be like. I didn't know! I swear." I hold her face in my hands and look into her eyes trying to tell her how I feel.

"Please." she pleads and I know that there is nothing I would ever deny her. Not a God damn thing. 

Everything that I was taught in this life, I had always thought is what made me different from everyone else I knew. My father molding me into the man I was expected to become as he prepared every aspect of my life for me. His insistence on the control that I need to maintain in regards to my life as far as love went, never once at any time prepared me for any of this, simply because he didn't want this for his son. He didn't want a woman to complicate my life, and no matter how hard he had tried to instill it in me, it still didn't matter what he wanted or taught me. He wouldn't have been able to stop it if he had tried and I am angry that he thought he could but more because he did.

I am in love and I know it without a doubt more than anything. There is nothing in the world that feels as good as this. 

Nothing.

I love Bella and I would almost be willing to bet I was in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her that very first day when I saw her sitting in that tree. 
"Baby girl, God...fuck I missed you!" I turn towards the car and lay her down on it gently, not wasting a minute. Not one fucking second was going to pass before I marked her as mine forever. My lips can't seem to kiss every inch of her fast enough. My hand is at the front of her blouse working the buttons down quickly, tugging and yanking at the fabric to get it untucked.

In seconds her bra is unfastened with one little flick of my fingers at the front. I peel it back and take her breast into my mouth tasting her sweet skin once again. I cannot get enough of her, devouring her nipples between my lips while her tiny little hands grip fists full of my hair as she moans and writhes under me crying out to God almighty himself.

I move back up and part her lips with my own kissing her once again. In between them, I murmur against her lips as to how much I want her and need her. The feeling grows so fucking strong I can't stop my reaction to the sounds she is making in response.

Her agreeing to it leaves me a frenzied mess.

My hand is under her skirt and tearing at the silk and lace before I can stop myself. I can hear him in my head and I know I need to calm him down before he takes over, but my focus is on getting her spread out on the hood of this car as quickly as possible, to bring us together once and for all.

"The skirt stays on baby." I murmur when she moves to unzip it.

I couldn't tell you if it was me that said those words or him, because it seems like everything around us is spinning wildly out of control and I am getting so fucking dizzy with desire and want.  

"No more waiting." I growl into her throat and slide my fingers between her lips to check and see if she is at all wet. It should be no surprise to me that Bella is always wet the moment her eyes land on me. Always and tonight is no different.

Her heart thunders in her chest and I am sure if I were alive, it would match my own.

She looks excited, scared, and beautiful, and the scent of her sweet adrenalin is pumping hard and fast through her veins, her eyes focus on her hands as she fights to untie my tie.

I move over top of her and push my raging hard on in between her warm legs.
"Do it." she goads me and I freeze.

"Don't stop Edward, please, don't. Do it."

The sound of my voice is so deep and hard and I practically roar out giving in and giving up on any thought of not stealing her virginity tonight.

"I have no intention of stopping baby. No fucking way now that my heart is set on you. I am a Masen and we take what we want and make it our own. You are mine and I will show you."  

Fuck the fact that she is seventeen, fuck the fact that I could go to jail, and fuck everyone in the entire goddamn world if they think they can judge me for falling in love and sharing all of me with the girl underneath me even if she is still half in her high school uniform.

She belongs to me and not a damn soul is going to dispute it.

I take a deep breath, in an attempt to calm this overwhelming feeling slightly and maintain my control. It is clear that I am not alone. I tear at my shirt, shredding it and tossing it aside with my now tattered tie.

Her wide expressive eyes meet mine and I can see my own, glowing as red as ever in the small reflection of hers with the light of the full moon behind me.

I move so damn fast, there is no way she can see anything other than a blur as my pants are torn off, hitting the dirt by the time I am climbing over top of her. The heat of the car engine radiates from under the hood underneath her, while my knees press in between her legs to spread her open and position her where I need her.

"Wrap your legs around me." I growl out and she follows my orders without any hesitation, her fingers fisting my hair. I slide one arm under her back and lift her up away from the car, bringing the warmth of her chest flush against my own frozen one.

With one hand sliding down between us I grip onto my cock and align myself up with her, while the other keeps her back up off the all too hot hood.

The minute the head of my cock slips between her wet warm lips, my fangs burst out and there is no doubt any more, that I am not alone with her.

I hiss and swallow back venom when his words pass my lips that indisputably come directly from him. All I can do is close my eyes just as my hips thrust forward penetrating the tightest wettest and warmest place I have ever been inside of as I steal her virginity.
 
Suddenly overcome by bright flashes that are moving in the slowest motion as blood spills down some unseen walls playing now behind my lids, I can feel a sense of panic.
Then I am hit with the sweetest scent a vampire could ever experience...Bella's pure virgin blood spills between her legs sending a tidal wave of intense searing flames that lick up my throat, all while the scent of her sweet sex surrounds me, flooding all of my senses taking over every part of me.

All I can hear is her sweet cries of my name feel the warmth and tightness of her wrapped completely around me, and I growl so loud I can hear the rattling of the windshield as it shakes behind us.

I slowly open my eyes to see the most beautiful sight ever. Our reflection together like this in the glass shows me the beauty of us together and sadly, something I truly wasn't ready to witness.

I am not in control of any of this.

His eyes stare back into mine.

A small part of me feels a sense of relief that I can see him, while the rest of me is downright fucking scared to death to see her in his arms as he holds onto her. 



He repeats the words once again and I lick my tongue along my fangs throwing my head back, bringing her body straight up off the hood now straddled over us. My tongue licks at her breasts, fangs graze over her nipples, while I pick her up to settle her down around me.

Heat engulfs my cock as the sweetest warmest tightest pussy takes every last inch of me into her. I lick the sweat that drips down her neck and continue to thrust my hips in the upward direction after she lifts up to only slide back down swallowing me again and again. She is moving right along with me, her legs flexing each time she pushes herself up to slide over me. I am lost in that fact alone that Bella is riding me while not holding anything back our first time together. I can hear my voice faintly in my head as we move together.

"That's it baby girl. Ride me. Ride me harder cause it feels so fucking good!" My fingers dig into her hips now holding her to help lift and drop her back down on me.

Everything is glowing brighter, when deep red tones flash behind my lids for the briefest of moments when I close my eyes.

Her cries echo in my head and I am on the cusp of coming deep inside of her, but I need to open my eyes once again to watch her. 

My nostrils flare out and I inhale the scent of us mixing together. I enjoy that burn in my throat with each beat of her pulse as my ears monitor her heartbeat. Then my eyes finally see her expression, then drop down to see Bella straddled over my legs, her breasts bounce right in front of me riding that sweet pussy right over my cock. I can see the dented hood of this car under my knees and her feet, but my eyes pull back to watch that naughty little skirt of hers bounce with her movements. It lays softly over her slender hips and then flies up as she pushes off me, and I catch a few glimpses of her lips wrapped around my raging hard on and that is all it takes for me to explode just when I pull out of her. I coat her hot smooth pussy, shooting thick streams of my come to mark her both inside and out with my scent, when I plunge back into her finishing off and filling her.



I hear him once again and those words whisper in my head this time around and they scare the fuck out of me.  

Nothing will ever be the same if I don't fight against what he is doing and I try with everything I have to retract my God damn fangs with my deadly venom dripping all over her soft skin.

In seconds he knows what I am doing, fighting now against me. 

My fangs are pressed too hard as the tips nearly penetrate her pale smooth skin over that sweet throbbing artery that sings with each pulse of her heartbeat.

No...not yet!

His words fill my head and I don't want to hear them! 

Come back to me please, baby.

Chapter I lost count


a/n
I have changed the name of the organization Edward's family is dealing with. I value my life too much to piss off anyone if they do a search under the term I was using and had previously used. Not that mine would show up, but if it were to pop up and they didn't like my portrayal of them, I sure as hell don't want to be put on some list for using them in a fictional story.
Okay...so I freaked out a little when I was doing research for terms they use and found a post about how they brutally hung two people from a bridge for blogging about them, so I spent my evening searchign each chapter for that title and replaced it with Drug Lords...
yeah...I sort of like breathing....just sayin...lol

Chapter I lost count and I am too busy to look at which one it is now...just go with this.

EDWARD~

"Good morning baby girl."

She mewls against my throat, nuzzles further up under my hair, and then softly sighs.

"You stayed."

"I told you, I wasn't going anywhere." I kiss the top of her tangled hair.

"I wish that were true."

"Bella, I will be back so fast you won't have time to miss me. I need to get up and wrap up some things before I leave this morning. I am sorry I can't lay here with you and play."

I turn her over and brush my hand over the soft warm and smooth skin of her cheek. I love the warmth she provides when she blushes for a fleeting moment.

"Sweetheart, try not to wander far from home. I would feel so much more at ease knowing that you are not out roaming the streets with Alice. Do not question Jacob's instincts. He has a knack for sensing trouble. If he orders you to do something, do it."

I kiss her nose and climb out of bed.

"And by the way, I love hearing you say my name when you sleep. What do you dream about?" I turn to look at her.

"How absolutely beautiful you are." she gets up on her knees crawling over to the edge and reaches up to lace her fingers through my hair as she pulls me towards her lips.

"You have an Angel's face." she says looking from my eyes down to my lips and moves in to claim them.

I give into her, wrapping my arms around her warm body and moan into her mouth.

"That's sweet baby." I press my lips to hers once, twice, and then once more and move down inhaling her throat. "But let's not say anything like that around the family." I ask.

When I look up at her, she is frowning.

"I know, and you know why, so please."

"I feel like a dirty little secret." she juts out her bottom lip.

I pounce on her throwing her back on the bed, she screams startled by my speed, then laughs.

"I really like the way that sounded. So naughty and baby you are as naughty as they come." I kiss her once and stupidly dare to make another promise to her.

"Give me a little time to prove myself to everyone. Then, I will tell everyone in the world the way I feel about you."

"And just how do you feel about me?"

"I adore you."

Her smile is not a genuine Bella smile and she looks away from me. Tears well up in her eyes and I have no idea how that could hurt her but it does.

"Bella?"

Her arms come around my neck and she locks onto me crying so hard I am stunned.

"Sweetheart, what is it?"

"Come back to me. Please. Don't go and not come back! Just say it. Say it aloud and look at me when you do and fucking promise me! Promise me that you are going to come back and make damn sure you keep that promise or so help me I will fucking hunt you down."

I pull away from her and look into her tear stained face.

"Bella what is this about?"

"I waited and waited and they never came home." she cries.

I realize that it is something from her past.

"Come here." I hug her tightly as she climbs into my lap wrapping herself around me.

"Bella, I am indestructible. No one knows that but you and my mother. I think Alice suspects something is up she is full of questions lately, but no one else knows that. If someone aimed a gun at my head, nothing would happen, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I tried it myself. I cannot die. I am already dead sweetheart. The bullet did nothing. It bounced off me. Therefore, even if I walk into that meeting and they are all aimed at me, their attempt to kill me will fail miserably. My family is another story. I have to protect my family. You do understand that right?"

"Yes."

"So believe me, I will come home to you."

She sniffles and I carry her to the bathroom.

"Want to take a shower with me?" I wiggle my brows up at her.

Her eyes fall to my lips again and I can see the longing in her eyes.

"I am going to fucking miss you." I whisper and kiss her softly setting her on the sink.

Our shower is longer than it should have been but I couldn't seem to pull myself away from washing every inch of her body. Lathering her up as I kissed her.

Her moans grew louder and louder when I washed between her legs, and before I knew it, I lifted her up and licked her clean instead of using soap.

She is sweet and salty and fuck, she gets wet.

Then she surprises me when she strokes me off. Both hands wrapped around me and she is clumsy and cute and so doing it wrong. All I can do is show her how to do it right and she learns fast because I am shooting all over her clean chest and not at all regretting that I get to wash her all over again.

We get dressed and go our separate ways.

I head for the clubhouse and find most of my men there discussing specifics about the shipment that is coming with us only it is on a separate plane. I won't be caught dead with anything in my possession ever.

It keeps my ass out of jail.

Not five minutes after I enter the clubhouse there is a commotion outside and suddenly the door flies open and Jacob and Sam are standing here in front of me with the nun from Bella's school.

"What the fuck?" I gape at them.

"I started at midnight last night, you must have forgot, I get paid by the day." he grins and nods towards the nun. "She was walking down the street in broad daylight. I do believe you mentioned something about Bella not returning to school because of her. No need to worry any longer. Here she is."

My nose is twitching.

Her eyes are jet black, with dark circles underneath them.

"Leave us alone." I demand and the room clears out faster than the flick of a switch.

I walk around the table, eye her up, and inhale.

She is not fucking human.

"Who the fuck are you, and what are you doing here?"

She doesn't answer and I hiss.

She hisses in defense because it is instinctual.

"You are a vampire?" I move towards her at vampire speed and grab her arm shoving her sleeve up. It is cold and hard.

"I am." Her voice trills through the room.

I grab her by the throat and throw her against the wall.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"Just doing my job." she manages to speak through my grip.

"And what job would that be?" I ask easing up on her throat.

"To make sure you are keeping the secret."

"What secret?"

She snorts out a laugh and I grip her harder.

"I will tear it clean the fuck off if you don't stop fucking dicking me around now what the fuck are you doing here and who are you?"

"I am Heidi. I work for the Royal Court. I have been ordered to follow up on a well-known mafia family who just happens to now have a vampire as their leader. Caius has asked me to come and make sure you are keeping the secret."

I bare my fangs.

"What fucking secret?"

"Why that you are a vampire of course. It is our only law."

"We have laws?"

She looks at me with wide eyes. "Didn't your maker tell you this?"

I narrow my eyes at her. "My maker is dead."

"Oh, well, what do you know about this life?"

"I don't have time for this and you being here is in fact raising questions within my family. You have put me in a position that I am now going to have to answer as to whom you are. How the fuck do I keep this secret when you show up sneaking around my family? And what the fuck are you doing at my Bella's school?"

"I caught your scent there first. Before I found this place. I knew of the home but didn't know its exact location. Demetri is our tracker. I am just the hunter." She is rambling nonsense and I have no fucking idea how to deal with this shit now of all times.

"How many of us are there?"

"Hundreds. Thousands maybe, it surprises me you don't know any of this. Who turned you?"
I gape at her and reply, "I don't know."

"How did they die?"

"I fucking killed her."

Her look is incredulous.

"I need you to come with me. If I am going to play this off, I need you to come with me no questions asked."

I grip her arm and she follows without a word.

We make our way to the car and I nod at the guards and some of the men that are standing around watching. Carlisle is looking at me with suspicion.

"Our departure time has just been moved back. I will be back in an hour." I load her into the passenger seat, climb in, and take off.

As we are driving, she turns to look at me. "You are quite handsome Mr. Masen." she eyes me up.

"And you are wearing a nun's uniform." I eye her back.

"Where are we going?"

"We are going to my warehouse."

She quirks a brow up at me.

"Trust me, it is all for appearances, you want me to keep the secret then we do this my way." I have to play out the scene perfectly. I tie her to a chair and she allows me to do it as I attempt to look as if I am grilling her.

"We are being recorded. I am going to shoot you, but since you are vampire, this won't harm you in the least. Just do a good job and play dead. Go back to your leaders and tell them your secret is safe. I may come upon them to learn more one day about what I have become. The moment before I toss you into the dumpster and light you on fire, you will get the fuck out of here and move fast enough so that you are not caught leaving on camera."

"So is this how you woo all the girls. Shoot them, and then light them on fire?"

"I am not wooing you Heidi. My heart is already spoken for. It was a pleasure meeting you, but I must warn you, stay the fuck away from my Bella or you and everyone you know and love will die.
Do I make myself clear?" I ask pulling out Seth and putting it to her head.

My return back to the house doesn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. Carlisle is grilling me as we walk towards the house after I climb out of my car.

"Who was she? What is she doing here?"

"I don't know. She wouldn't talk. Nothing I said or did to threaten her would make her."

"You didn't do anything that would make her talk." He snaps.

Just as I suspected they were watching.

"I don't torture women Carlisle. She is the first one I have had to deal with." I turn to look at him.

"Our plane leaves in one hour. That gives me thirty minutes to pack my things, now if you will excuse me." I head for the front door and slam it in his face once I am inside.

I am tired of the questions. I worry it will be worse on the plane ride down South but try not to think about that strange meeting.

When I enter the main room I inhale and I can tell that she hasn't been down here for a while.

"Edward." My Mother walks up and kisses my cheek.

"Hey Ma."

"I am heading out for an appointment with the salon. I won't be here when you leave. Hug me now. I am taking one of the guards with me because I know you are going to insist anyway, see, one step ahead of you baby."

She leans in and whispers in my ear.

"She is in the Library. She has been crying off and on all morning. Comfort her. I will try to keep her busy while you are gone. The camera's are still off. Demetri has someone working on tracking whomever has hacked them."

"I still think it is someone inside." I kiss her and hug her saying our goodbye's and make my way towards the library. I have already packed and planned to spend the last moments with her. I am as quiet as possible when I enter the library. She is staring out the window and I can smell the thick salty scent in the air. It was more than a few tears she had shed, the salt is thick in the air and I know it is serious crying here. My concern for her grows. I don't know how to make her understand any other way than I had already explained to her.

I know her past is the issue and that I can't undo what has been done. All I can do is assure her that I am coming back. I stay as stealth as possible moving towards her to stand only inches away now. I lean down and press my lips to the top of her head.

She sighs, sniffles and I watch her chest shudder out a breath. "I am sorry." Her voice sounds so fucking broken.

"Bella you are killing me here." I kneel down and meet her swollen tear filled eyes.

"Take me with you!" She sobs and throws her arms around me.

I am so close to just saying fuck it and bringing her along but I can't. I just fucking can't.

I pull back and look at her and hope that what I tell her will make her see.
"Do you know it has been rumored that this orgnization has no heart inside the walls of their compound. It is said that the thought alone of them makes up a living organism that thrives on a power so great, when night falls the compound comes alive with the thumping of a heart beat on the wind."

She tilts her head listening.

"I once heard that a very trusted top member of theirs, turned on them. They were working with customs agents to take down some of the bigger leaders all while trying to make a bust that would cost them millions of dollars. Word got out because one of the custom's agents was in fact on the payroll with the Lords. His alerting them, interrupted this massive take down before it could actually play out. Do you know what they did to that man Bella?"

"No." she whispers.

"They gutted him Baby. The took his insides out, filled his body with drugs, sent it to the customs agents directly involved with the set up and pinned a note to his dead body. The note said, The next body to arrive will be on of your family. They willingly gave up the drugs to make a point to custom agents that they were not above going after innocent lives if anyone ever fucked with them again. This is exactly why I can not allow you or my mother anywhere near these fuckers. They don't know you exist baby. You would be a pawn for them to use against me. I cannot undo the relationship that my father had with these men, all I can do is keep them satisfied, and to do that I need to let them play their game. I need to be as accommodating as possible, because I will never trust them. I can't let my guard down, and I can't leave this to my family members to handle and fuck this relationship up. We are in too deep and I wished to God I could back out for once in my life, but I can't. If I make the attempt to sever this relationship they will see it as a betrayal."

"So then tell me what is your business with them?"

"I can't tell you that."

Her brow is furrowed in such a deep V as tears spill down her cheek.

"Please baby, just understand that what happens tonight is so fucking important and once I am done down there, I will turn right around and come back. I promise."

She nods and kisses me. I can taste her salty tears on her lips and press in for a deeper more meaningful kiss. I pick her up and settle into the window bench with her on my lap and we look out over the city, just spending the last few minutes together.

"I am going to miss you." Her voice is raspy and quiet.

"I know sweetheart, and I am going to miss the hell out of you too baby." I hug her tighter.
Fifteen minutes later she is completely asleep in my arms. I kiss her head and carry her up to my room, laying her in my bed. I look down at her once more before I manage to finally pull myself away from my sweet girl just as my phone begins to vibrate.

Just as I suspected questions came at me on the plane but I wasn't in the mood to answer any of them.

Jasper barely made it in time for our flight to take off and his behavior is really starting to irritate me. I am going to have to talk to him about his relationship he seems so caught up in with Alice.

Eventually our plane touches down at the final destination and I pull out Seth, check to make sure he is fully loaded, and pat my jacket to find a couple of clips safely tucked inside.

Taking a deep breath, I stand to exit the plane. Stepping out into the thick hot humid air that is familiar, sends a shiver down my spine.

I look down to see three jeeps waiting on the tarmac, while behind them are four hummers for my men. I glance over to the left and watch the cargo from the other plane move down the conveyor belt to be unloaded and then loaded into the large black cargo truck.

"Black for the darkness of night." I murmur and Emmett is standing directly behind me as he asks, what the fuck that means.

"It is harder to see a black truck on the dark roads. They use black vehicles to move contraband around right in front of everyone, while staying stealth as they do it."

"Ahh.." He says and I begin my descent down the stairs.

There are many members of the Drug Lords around here with guns strapped to their backs. It is an uncomfortable feeling, but not unbearable. I shake hands with my contact who greets me but does so warily. I just feign a smile and assure him that things are fine. He nods and leads me to the vehicles waiting to take us to the compound.

The ride there is rough. The roads are unpaved down here and the few roads that are paved have massive potholes in them. I am slightly worried about my product and hope to God nothing goes off.

When we near the base of a hill, I look up to see the massive wall that surrounds the entire home. I know there are underground tunnels here. Some run from here, all the way to other tunnels that take you right under US soil. They go for miles and miles and were created by people that were enslaved to create them.

When the gates open I look over at Carlisle and whisper, "Questo è. Siate pronti per qualsiasi cosa. Se qualcosa va giù Carlisle, non, ripeto, non entrare in contatto con loro. Siamo alla loro mercé, ma questa è una buona cosa. Fidati di me. Si tratta di un importante segno di rispetto a loro che abbiamo le palle per mostrare qui in questo modo. Guardati le spalle e giuro su Dio tenere la lingua del cazzo, non importa cosa. "

"This is it. Be prepared for just about anything. If anything goes down Carlisle, do not, I repeat, do not engage with them. We are at their mercy, but this is a good thing. Trust me. It is a major sign of respect to them that we have the balls to show up here like this. Watch your back, and I swear to God hold your fucking tongue no matter what."
*Yeah...it's full blown mafia madness time and I am just as excited to get the next chapter out as you are to read it...just to keep you natives somewhat calm...tease...and again it will Be E's point of view...grins...

~EDWARD
"I hear you are a guardian." Marcus smiles at me and it takes every thing I have in me, and I mean everything, to keep control of my response. I have to hold my temper and my composure, where Bella is concerned, it is the hardest thing I am ever going to have to do. I don't know how they know this information and all I can think about is that someone in the family is playing for them. No one besides the Stanley's know I am her guardian and I am pretty damn fucking sure that they didn't offer up the information.
My father speaks to me from the dead, his voice haunts me at times and this would be one of them.
"Remember Edward. Stay stoic in the face of any horror you are presented with. They are testing for a response. Any sign that what they are using may be a weakness against you. It is only then that if you succeed in keeping a poker face until you are out of their presence, then you will know that you are winning. If you lose control, slip and even so much as flinch in the slightest way, you are giving the m what they are looking for. Do NOT let them see your tell. Under any circumstances. Your tell will be what does you in and it would be the best if you had no tell at all, but every man has a tell."
"What is yours?"
"My tell?"
"No, your weakness."
"You and your mother."
It suddenly hits me that he never included Jasper. Why would he not include his adopted son? He is my brother. I try to remember where I am and what I am doing having got lost in that thought.
Fuck.
What did I do in front of Marcus while that memory played out?
My eyes meet with Marcus again. He doesn't look phased.
"Just an abused girl I took in to get her out of an abusive home. I cannot tolerate children being abused."
He nods once. "I respect that."
I glance over at Carlisle and he is watching someone else in the room. My eyes follow the guy by the door and he looks oddly familiar.
I would almost say, he looks a lot like Jasper.
"Riley, son, come...let me introduce you to our newest business partner."
My eyes scan over to look at Jasper. He is watching very carefully and I would swear I see him give a faint of a nod.
Strange.
***I can see all of your wheels turning...grins like a cheshire cat***
