Endless Night: Chapter 9 - Surprises



Characters belong to SM. Everything else belongs to me.

Chapter 9 – SURPRISES

Bella's POV

I dropped my bags on the floor and flopped down on my bed. The drive back to Seattle had exhausted me. Thankfully, Edward was understanding and agreed to give me a few hours of alone time to rest. I was relieved when I found the dorm empty.

I was trying – unsuccessfully – to wrap my head around everything that happened over winter break. 
When we left school a month ago I had no idea things would take a turn in the direction they did. I expected to spend the majority of my time shopping in Port Angeles with Alice or shacked up somewhere with Jake. Alice and I had done our fair share of shopping, and Jake and I had hooked up on a few occasions, but then New Years happened and all of a sudden Edward and I were together and everything felt so right and seemed so perfect.

Until today, when he decided to spring all this vampire shit on me.

Vampire.

My boyfriend is a vampire.

Okay.

Vampire.

Edward... is... a... vampire.

Well...

I...

Holy...

Shit.

MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

Seriously... WHAT. THE. FUCK?

Calm down, Bella...

Breathe.

Just.

Breathe.

Okay...

I...

Calm down? CALM DOWN?

BUT MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE!

A non-sleeping, non-aging, non-warm, bloodsucking - though he says he's not - blood is a pretty integral part of his being...VAMPIRE!

What the hell am I supposed to do with that? I HAVE BLOOD! HE LIKES BLOOD! HE NEEDS 
BLOOD! AND I HAVE IT! HE COULD GET THIRSTY AND DRAIN ME DRY!

But he wouldn't...

BUT HE COULD!

Oh, Edward... what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Two hours later….

I knew I shouldn't be too upset with him. It was I, after all, who kept pushing for him to tell me about his past and his relationship with Tanya. I couldn't help myself though. If we were going to work as a couple moving forward, I needed to know what he was leaving behind and what, if anything, might come back to haunt him. Truth be told I was scared shitless of Tanya and the fact that she hadn't gotten angry when Edward told her about us only intensified my fears. To find out that she was a vampire left me wondering if I shouldn't just lock myself in my dorm for the remainder of the semester.

Then there was Edward. I'd done my best to brush everything he told me off like it was no big deal, when it fact it was a huge deal. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but I was a bit freaked out by his revelation. Sure, I'd read books about vampires, I'd seen movies about them, I'd even dressed up as one for Halloween a few times when I was younger, but to think that they actually existed outside the realm of fiction … It was almost too much for me to handle. I kept myself together as long as I could on our drive, but now I was having a complete emotional meltdown and I had no idea what to do.

I liked Edward. I liked him a lot. I might even love him, which did nothing to lessen my apprehensions. I'd waited this long for my chance to be with him and I didn't want to give up on things before we even had the opportunity to get them started. At the same time I couldn't help but be concerned for my own safety. Just because Edward and his "family" didn't intentionally slaughter human beings and have them for dinner, they still indulged in human blood and there would always be that risk that one day the temptation would be too great and I would be a goner. I shuddered at the thought of it. It would certainly make for an interesting epitaph, I thought bitterly.

Furthermore, if things did work for us, and we were to say, get married sometime in the future, how the hell was I supposed to explain his lack of aging to my family? It was one thing to have a youthful appearance, but it was another to show up to a family gathering thirty years down the road with him not looking a day over twenty. I suppose I could ask him about the possibility of becoming a vampire myself, to save us a lot of hassle, but honestly, that's not the life I wanted. I liked living and breathing and having a beating heart and the capability to blush on command. Hell, I didn't even mind the stupid nuisances that came with it like having to use the bathroom and having to work out so I didn't get blessed with the curse of the "freshman fifteen." No, no, I'd never ask about someone changing me. In fact, I made a vow to myself to never even bring the subject up.

I curled up on my side and hugged my knees to my chest, closing my eyes and trying to relax. What the hell was I supposed to say when Alice got back? Did he even tell her that I knew everything? I couldn't imagine he wouldn't, because he had to know I'd say something to her eventually. Alice was my best friend and now there was this little piece of anxiety that would linger in the air knowing what she was.

I was freaking the fuck out and I didn't know what to do. I couldn't exactly call Jake or Charlie and ask for advice. What was I supposed to say? "Hey, my boyfriend just told me he's a vampire, what do you think I should do?" Yeah, that would go over wonderfully.

"Bella?" Alice shut the door gently and sat on the edge of my bed. I hadn't turned any lights on, so I assumed she thought I was asleep. You could fake it and deal with all this later, I thought. I didn't want to do that though. I needed someone to give me some reassurance.

I rolled over and sat up, pulling my knees to my chest and resting my chin on them. "Did Edward talk to you?" She curled her legs beneath her so she was sitting Indian style and shrugged off her coat.

"He called me as soon as he dropped you off." I could tell she was nervous too. "He said you were okay with everything, but you don't look okay right now, Bella."

I covered my face with my hands and shook my head. "Of course I told him I was okay with everything. I didn't want to hurt his feelings." I looked up at Alice and saw nothing but concern on her face.

"It wouldn't hurt his feelings if you told him the truth, Bella. He knows what he is. What we all are." 
She reached out and smoothed my hair. "If you can't be with him because you aren't comfortable with the situation, he'll let you go freely. He only wants what makes you happy. Edward would never do anything to hurt you intentionally."

"I do want to be with him, Alice. I've never wanted to be with anyone more in my life than I want to be with your brother." I wiped back a few traitorous tears that made their way down my cheeks. 
"But really, how am I supposed to react to this news? He explained everything to me – the blood, the skin color, the eye color, the body temperature, I know about all of it. I'm just having trouble wrapping my mind around it, Alice. I have so many questions and I don't know if I can ask Edward."

Alice sat up on her knees and rested her hands on her thighs. "What do you want to know, Bella? I know Edward is my brother, and I know I'm a part of the vampire gang too, but you can trust me. I'll be honest with you, I promise."

Her expression was one of pure honesty. I took a deep breath and thought about how to word my question. "What if there comes a time when the only blood Edward has access to is mine? What if he can't control his natural yearnings when he's with me? He said he's never dated a human before, so how is he so sure he can do this?"

"Edward has years of experience resisting the temptations. All of us do. We've been members of human society our entire lives." Alice leaned back on her elbows and got comfortable. I stretched my legs out in front of me, doing the same thing. "Besides that, he would never put himself or you in a situation where that could possibly happen. Edward is absurdly concerned with your safety, especially after this whole Tanya thing. He would never let you get within an arm's length of something harmful."

"So what happens if things work out between us and this ends up being something long-term? How do I explain his appearance to my family? I'll be growing old and gray while my husband stays young and attractive."

The corners of Alice's lips lifted in a small smile. "I can't give you a creative answer for that one. All 
I can say is that you'll handle it together, as a couple, when the time is right. Maybe you'll end up somewhere far away from here where you don't have to see your family all the time. Who knows, Bella? The future is such a vast thing."

"Great, so I can spend the rest of my life looking like a cougar." I couldn't help but laugh at my own lame remark. "Really though, Alice, I don't know if I can do this. I'm so scared of Tanya and scared of the possibility of my getting hurt and of what people will think."

Alice scooted over and put her arm around me. I leaned my head against her shoulder. "Tanya is certainly an issue. Her reaction was nothing like any of us expected, and that alone is cause enough for worry. But Bella, you have to remember that Edward knows Tanya better than any of us. He'll always be one step ahead of the game when it comes to her. If he suspected she was planning anything – even the smallest vengeful act – he'd do everything in his power to make sure you were protected. Our family wouldn't hesitate to help. You're like a sister to Rose and I, Bella."

I let out a small sob as the reality of the situation hit me. Edward cared immensely about me and I him. My safety really was his top priority, and knowing that alone put my fears about him harming me to rest. I was still uneasy about Tanya, but we'd cross that bridge – and the bridge with my family – when we got there, if we ever did. Alice hugged me tightly and I hugged her back. She stood up smiled down at me.

"You can always come to me for anything, you know that right?"
I nodded. "Thank you Alice. I was really starting to go crazy before you got here."

"That's what friends are for." She checked her watch and began rifling through her closet. "Now, dry your eyes and pick out something to wear. We're going on a double date."

I groaned. "I really don't want to go out. I just want to relax and go to bed early."

"Bella Swan, you've been trying to get with my brother for months. Everything finally worked out and I'll be damned if we aren't going out to celebrate." She threw a black cashmere sweater at me and stomped her foot. "Now put this on, along with those new skinny jeans you got yesterday, and fix your face. The guys will be here to pick us up any minute."

I wanted to say no, but Alice's enthusiasm was infectious. I got ready and followed her downstairs. 
Edward was leaning against the side of Jasper's car with the rear door open. His face lit up as soon as he saw me. I walked into his open arms and embraced him tightly. He kissed my cheek and brought his mouth to my ear.

"You look amazing," he whispered. A shiver ran down my spine and I felt myself blush. I slid across the backseat and he climbed in next to me. He grabbed my hand in his and squeezed it gently. I smiled and sighed contentedly.

Danger or not, this man was my life now.

Edward's POV

I didn't have much experience when it came to planning special occasions. Bella's birthday was approaching quickly and I was determined to do something that she would remember. Of course I had no idea where to begin, and as a result I'd spent the past hour surfing the net aimlessly.

I'd thought about calling Alice, but decided against it. She was a pro at planning cheesy things like this, but she also had a huge mouth, and keeping secrets wasn't one of her strong points. I didn't want to plan something elaborate only to have her tell Bella about it the day before it was scheduled to happen.

I pulled up Google and typed a few words in. My computer screen was flooded with links directing me to pages that contained information on planning a memorable date in Seattle, but nothing jived with me. I knew that Bella wasn't expecting anything extravagant, but that didn't mean I wanted to give her anything less.

I closed my laptop and leaned back in the chair. I was staring blankly at the ceiling when the idea hit me. I grabbed my cell off the desk and dialed Emmett's number.

"What's up man?" he belted out his standard greeting.

"Do you and Rose have any plans this coming weekend?" I crossed my fingers and hoped they did.

"Mom and Dad are coming to Seattle for the weekend, so they're staying at our place. I was going to call you tomorrow and let you know. Mom wants you and Bella to come out for dinner with us on Friday." I gave a silent fist pump and stood up.

"That shouldn't be a problem," I told him. "Do you think you could convince Alice and Jasper to stay at your place on Saturday night too? It's Bella's birthday and I want to do something special for her, but I need the dorm to myself and I don't want to say anything to Jasper because then he might tell Alice and I know she'll tell Bella."

I could almost hear the smirk spreading across Emmett's face. "A little birthday nookie session planned bro?"

I shook my head and chuckled. "No, nothing of the sort, but I would like some privacy for what I do have planned."

"I don't think that'll be a problem. I'll call Alice tonight and ask her if they can stay here."

"Thank you so much! I owe you one!" I flipped my laptop back open and punched a few more things into Google.

"Just do me a favor and don't fuck it up with this girl. She's a keeper, Eddie boy." I could hear Rose in the background and Emmett laughed a little. "I've gotta go. I think my girl just might want a little Tuesday night nookie."

"Thanks for sharing that tidbit. I'll see you Friday." I clicked the phone off and tossed it on my bed. I grabbed a notebook and jotted down a list of all the things I'd need to get from the store before throwing my coat on and heading out.

My plan to give Bella the perfect birthday was officially in action.

Bella's POV

I checked my reflection one last time in the mirror before joining the rest of the Cullen family in Emmett and Rosalie's living room. Edward slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him, planting a kiss on the top of my head.

"You're lovely," he whispered, sending chills down my spine. I looked up at him and smiled and he squeezed me closer to him.

"Let's get this show on the road, shall we?" Emmett twirled the keys to the family Escalade around his finger and opened the apartment door. The car ride to the restaurant was filled with pleasant chatter and laughter. I was amazed by how wonderful it felt to be with the Cullens. I'd spent so much of my time as an only child with a single mom that I never realized how much I longed to be part of a large family. Even though the Cullens weren't technically related, their bonds were just as strong, if not stronger, than that of any biological family I knew, my own included.

"It's so nice to have you here with us, Bella!" Esme smiled warmly at me. "I don't think I've ever seen Edward so happy."

I blushed and looked down at my salad. "I'm sure Edward has a hundred different things to be happy about right now. Surely I can't take credit for all of it." He squeezed my hand beneath the table.

"I'm going to have to agree with Esme on this one, Bella." Alice looked back and fourth between Edward and I. "I don't think I've ever seen his eyes shine the way they do when you're in the room, 
or seen him smile at anyone like he does at you."

Edward leaned down until his lips were just centimeters from my ear. "They're right, you know." I could feel myself grinning like an idiot.

Carlisle stepped in, sensing my discomfort with the topic of conversation. "Have you decided on a major yet, Bella? I don't think I've ever asked you as many times as we've had you in our company."

"I'm leaning towards advertising and communication studies," I told him. I speared a pile of greens and popped them in my mouth, chewing slowly.

"That sounds like a wonderful choice, dear!" Esme smiled warmly at me. "I can see you owning your own firm someday, you have the perfect personality for it! Are you hoping to stay in the Seattle area after college, or were you thinking of relocating?"

The questions were making me uncomfortable, especially with Edward sitting right there next to me. 
I couldn't see myself staying in Seattle forever, but I didn't know where I'd want to settle either. "I'm not sure to be honest. I haven't put too much thought into where I'll be going after graduation. I'm trying to take this whole college experience one day at a time."

"That's the way to do it, Bella. Savor the experience, it only comes around once." Carlisle raised his glass and smiled at me. "I'd like to propose a toast. To Edward and Bella's new relationship, and to taking life one day at a time." Carlisle winked at me as we all clanked our glasses.

"I don't know if Edward has mentioned this to you or not Bella, but our family is going to be taking a trip to Europe over spring break." Esme set her wine glass down and leaned forward. "We're planning on spending the week in Italy. Carlisle and I would love it if you would join us for the trip. We'd take care of your expenses, of course."

I swallowed uncomfortably and looked down at my napkin. I'd always wanted to go to Europe, Italy especially, but Renee had been too wrapped up in her new marriage to even think about taking a trip like that with me. Pictures of Edward and I taking a gondola ride through the canals of Venice flashed through my head, and I couldn't help but smile. At the same time, however, I couldn't fathom letting the Cullens spend that much money on me.

"Thank you so much for the offer, Esme. I need to think about it though, and talk to my parents."

"Of course, dear. Just promise me you will think about it."

"Absolutely." I felt Edward squeeze my hand beneath the table again and I relaxed instantly.

The rest of dinner was casual and comfortable and seemed to pass all too quickly. Before I knew it, Edward and I were in his car on our way back to campus.

"Don't feel pressured about Italy," he said softly. "I'd love for you to be there and I know my family would love it too, but I understand if it's too much too soon."

"It's not that, Edward." I studied my fingernails, picking lazily at the peeling polish. "I'd love to spend time with you and your family in Europe. But I want to be able to do it on my own dime. I want it to be something that I can say I did on my own, ya know? I don't feel comfortable taking your parents' money like that."

Edward laughed and entwined the fingers of his free hand with mine. "You wouldn't be taking their money, Bella. They've done this every year for as long as I can imagine, and every year we've been able to bring friends or acquaintances with and they've covered it. Please don't feel like you'd be abusing anything."

"Thank you." I pulled our hands to my mouth and kissed his knuckles softly. "I'll think about it, I promise. I really do need to talk to Charlie and make sure he doesn't have anything planned too."

"Fair enough." Edward pulled the car to a stop in front of my dorm and turned to face me. "I have a surprise planned for you tomorrow."

My birthday, I thought to myself. I secretly hoped Alice didn't have anything to do with this surprise. 
That might be a bit too much for me to handle.

He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "I'll pick you up at six."

"I'll see you tomorrow." I watched him drive off, wondering what this beautiful man had in store for me.

Edward's POV

At six o'clock sharp I knocked softly on Bella's door. I was holding a single white rose with a small teddy bear and one of those cheesy "Happy Birthday" balloons on a white plastic stick. There were more gifts, and Bella would see those later tonight, but for now I wanted to start the evening off with something cute and simple.

She answered the door a moment later and the sight of her took my breath away. She was wearing a royal blue dress that hugged her curves and ended a few inches above her knees. The boat neck exposed the top of her shoulders and the long sleeves clung to her slender yet toned arms. She had a pair of ballerina flats on, and her hair was pulled up in sexy waves on the top of her head. She smiled shyly at me, blushing when she saw the gift in my hands.

"Happy birthday, beautiful." I stepped forward and kissed her lips softly, handing her the bear and 
the rose. She put the rose in a glass of water on her desk and set the bear down on her bed.

"Thank you." I reached out and grabbed her hand, holding onto it while she locked the door. "You still haven't told me what we're doing tonight."

"It's a surprise." I held the passenger door to my car open, closing it after she settled in. I took my spot in the drivers seat and pulled away from the curb, entwining the fingers of my free hand with hers. It was foolish to drive across campus when I could have walked, but winter was starting to rear it's ugly head and I didn't want her to catch a cold.

"Nobody's ever surprised me on my birthday," she whispered softly. I squeezed her hand and looked over at her.

"Then let this be a night of firsts, baby. Our first night celebrating an official Edward and Bella holiday and your first night being surprised for your birthday." I parked the car and got out, opening the door for her. I led her inside my dorm and through the maze of hallways to my room. "Close your eyes."

She did as I asked and I placed my hands on her shoulders and steered her inside, closing the door behind us. I pulled a lighter out of my pocket and got to work, lighting the candles I'd spread around. 
I took her hand and led her to the center of the room, pushing her down gently until she was seated at my makeshift table. I sat down across from her and took a deep breath. "Okay, open them."

She blinked several times, allowing her eyes to adjust to the change in light. Her mouth fell open and she looked around the room. When her gaze met mine, I could see tears in her eyes.

"Edward, this is amazing! How did you even think of this?" Her voice was heavy with emotion. I reached across the table and took her hand in mine, rubbing small circles over her knuckles with my thumb.

"I knew you didn't want anything too extraordinary, but I still wanted this night to be special for you. The idea came to me earlier this week and I knew it would be perfect." I began to dish up our food. 
"I hope you like Thai."

"I love Thai." The words came out in a breathy whisper. "Thank you so much, Edward. This is beyond special."

I marveled at how little it took to impress her. With Tanya, everything was about price tags and labels and guest lists. There was nothing that was good enough for her and I hated that. "This is just 
the beginning of our evening, sweetheart. There's more in store for you after dinner." She blushed and took a bite of her spring roll.

We ate in silence, but it was more comfortable than any conversation could have been. I couldn't stop looking at her, noticing the way a few stray strands of hair had fallen down and grazed her shoulder. 
Her brown eyes twinkled with what could only have been happiness, and in that moment I realized just how much I loved her.

I'd been with Tanya for years before even meeting Bella and my feelings for her weren't even a tenth as strong as what I felt for Bella.

"I think if I eat another bite I'm going to explode." Bella set her fork down on the table and rubbed her stomach. I stood up, cleared away the takeout containers, and walked behind her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and kissing her softly on the cheek.

"Do you trust me?" I whispered in her ear. She nodded, breathing heavily. "Stand up." She stood and spun around to face me. Her cheeks were flushed a semi-bright rose color and her pupils were dilated. I leaned forward and pressed my lips against hers, allowing my tongue to slip into her mouth for the briefest of moments before I pulled away. I wanted nothing more than to take her right there on the floor of my dorm, but tonight wasn't the night for that. Tonight was all about her.

"I'm going to undress you," I told her. She looked nervous, but turned slowly, allowing me access to the zipper on the back of her dress. I grabbed it and tugged it down, watching as inch by inch of her creamy white skin was exposed. I slid the dress down her arms, pulling at each sleeve, exposing her naked torso. Her breasts were beautiful, perfect and round, and her small pink nipples were hardened with arousal. I hooked my fingers in the fabric of her dress and continued to push it down until it fell to the floor in a pool of blue. I gulped back my own anticipation and nervousness as I stared at her standing before me. Her small black thong left little to my imagination.

"You are so beautiful." Her cheeks flamed red and she tried to drop her head, but I tucked my thumb under her chin before she had a chance. I ran my fingertips down her arm, grabbing her hand and leading her towards my bed. I opened the drawer on my nightstand and pulled out a silk sleeping mask, handing it to her. "Put this on for me. It will heighten the rest of your senses." She looked at it for a moment before slipping it over her head.

"Edward…" Her words trailed off as I covered her mouth with a deep, passionate kiss. I turned her to face the bed and trailed small, chaste kisses across her shoulder blades.

"Lay down on your stomach for me, baby." She did as I asked, resting her head on my pillow and placing her arms at her sides. I walked across the room and grabbed the bottle of lavender scented massage oil I'd picked up at the store a few days earlier. I placed it in my microwave and warmed it up for a few seconds before making my way back to the bed. I nudged Bella's legs open with my own and climbed on the bed so I was kneeling between them.

"What are you doing, Edward?" Her voice was slightly raspy. I glanced down between her legs and could see her folds glistening with moisture already. I took a deep breath and drizzled some of the oil along her spine.

"I'm pampering you for the evening, love. Consider this a night of nothing but pleasure for you." I ran my hands up her back, spreading the oil around and working it into her skin. I curled my fingers 
around her shoulders, squeezing and massaging gently, eliciting a sigh from her.

"That feels so good," she moaned into the pillow. I continued massaging, working my fingers in light circles up and down her shoulder blades and across her lower back. I massaged each of her arms, drizzling more of the sweet smelling oil across them and working her muscles and relaxing her further. After I'd massaged every inch of her skin I bent down and brushed my lips against her cheek.

"Roll over baby." I pulled softly on her shoulder and she did as I asked. Her head rolled back into the pillow and a smile spread across her face. My eyes swept over her naked body once again, and I climbed on the bed and straddled her. I drizzled a trail of massage oil from the bottom of her neck to her navel and began softly kneading her skin. I ran my palm across her breasts and felt her nipples harden more beneath my touch. I leaned down and gently took one in my mouth, sucking on it lightly while my hands massaged up and down the sides of her stomach. Her back arched up off the bed and she ran her fingers through my hair.

"Mmmm, Edward," she moaned. I smiled and focused my attention on her other breast, swirling my tongue around her nipple and nipping on it gently. I slid lower on the bed, kneeling between her legs once again as I massaged oil into her thighs and calves. When I finished, I stood up and grabbed her ankles, pulling her gently to the end of the bed. She moved to take the sleeping mask off but I reached up and took her wrist in my hand.

"There's one more part to this birthday present, beautiful." I knelt before her and pushed her legs open. I hooked my fingers in the straps of her thong and slid it off tossing it on the floor next to me.

"Guess it's a good thing I waxed a few days ago," she joked, giggling nervously. I ran my fingers up and down her thighs, willing her to relax. Her slick folds were sheathed in desire and her clit was already swollen. I leaned forward, running my tip of my nose along the crevice between her thigh and her sweet spot, breathing in her scent and letting it wash over me.

"God, you smell so good Bella." I circled her clit several times with my finger. A soft moan fell from her lips and she tried to trap my head with her thighs. I pulled her legs up over my shoulders and kissed her clit softly. "I can't wait to see what you taste like."

She tangled her fingers in my hair, pulling my face to her. I dipped my tongue in her folds, licking away the juices that were already pooled there. I pulled away and spread her with my fingers, laying my tongue flat against her slit and licking straight up, nipping her clit gently.

"Oh God, Edward." Her fingers tightened in my hair and her back arched again. "Please …. More." 
I indulged her, taking her clit in my mouth and sucking on it gently. I swirled my tongue around her swollen nub, enjoying how her body felt beneath me.

I leaned back and blew on her clit, causing her to shudder against me. I slid one finger into her slowly, working it around as her muscles squeezed lightly against me. I took her clit into my mouth again, sucking harder this time and grazing the sensitive flesh with my teeth. I could feel her thighs trembling against my shoulders and I knew it wouldn't take much to push her over the edge.

"Mmmm," I moaned against her. The vibrations made her shudder even more, and I slid a second finger into her, curling upwards until I could feel the bundle of nerves inside of her.

"There! Right there, yes." She balled my sheets up in her fists and arched her back again. I continued massaging her g-spot and looked up at her.

"Take the blindfold off. I want you to watch me make you come." One hand broke free from the bed sheets and pulled the mask off. She propped herself up on her elbows and looked down at me. Her eyes were glazed with lust and her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. I pushed my fingers deep inside of her and curled them upwards slowly while flicking my tongue across her clit.

"Happy birthday, baby," I said against her. I took her clit in my mouth and sucked hard on it, pumping my fingers into her at a fast pace. I could feel her inner muscles starting to clench down on me and I knew she was getting close. I bit her clit gently, sending her over the edge.

"Edward, oh my GOD!" Her hands were in my hair again and she was tugging at it violently. I could feel her juices flowing around my fingers and I continued sucking greedily on her clit while she rode out her orgasm.

"Fuck," she moaned, falling back on the mattress and grabbing at the sheets again. I eased my fingers out of her and spread her open again, licking her once more before crawling onto the bed next to her. 
Her eyes were closed, her hair was fanned out across the sheets, and her breathing was heavy.

I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers gently, poking my tongue against her lips. She opened her mouth greedily, tasting her own juices as her tongue danced with mine. I leaned back and pulled her against me so her head was resting on my chest. She wrapped her arm around me and breathed a sigh of contentment.

"That was the best birthday present a girl could ask for."

I kissed her temple and rested my chin against the top of her head.

Bella would always be my happy place.

Tanya's POV

I gaped at Edward's door, disgust filling me. If I could vomit I knew I would, especially after hearing what I just did from behind the closed door.

Edward had made me wait forever before he even let me touch him. This bitch hadn't even been with him for a whole month and he was already giving in to her. And giving her quite a bit of pleasure, from the way it sounded, I thought bitterly.

I climbed into my car and grabbed my cell phone off the passenger seat. I needed to get close to 
Bella, as close as I possibly could, and I knew the Cullens would never be of any help with that.

"Hello?" I recognized his voice immediately, even though I'd only seen him a handful of times.

"Jacob? Hi, this is Tanya. We met at the Cullen's Thanksgiving party a few months back…"
