Thanks for reading and reviewing!! Here's your teaser!

When the bucket was full I turned the water off, picked it up and turned to leave the wash stall, only to be startled when I found James standing there watching me. The bucket was back on the floor, tipped on its side and soaking the concrete and my shoes, leaving me cold, wet and severely pissed off.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded, righting the bucket so I could fill it again.

“It’s good to see you again too, Bella,” he said, probably trying to sound more playful than creepy. “You know, you could have gotten me in a lot of trouble.”

Laughing dryly, I shook my head and looked down at the water still flowing from the hose, unable to hold his menacing stare. “You can’t be serious?” When he didn’t say anything, I knew he was. Not wanting to get into it with him, I sighed. “What do you want, James? I’m trying to finish up here before locking up for the night.”

“Well, I was here to ask your dad about something but couldn’t find him.” He took a step into the wash stall and I grew a little nervous; it was almost like he was cornering me. My panic only seemed to rise when his eyes moved up and down my body as he took another step and licked his lips. “Maybe you could help me out instead?”

Alice is the popular guess at this point, and the answer is coming up in the next chapter!

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser:

It didn’t take much longer to finish my packing, and Edward came to the bedroom to grab our bags so he could take them to the car.  After making sure the alarm was set, I locked the front door and turned to see Edward loading the bags into the trunk as Charlie approached from the barn with Bones by his side.

“You kids drive safe,” Dad said, stopping by the car as I stepped off the cement walk.

“We always do, Dad,” I assured him. “Thanks for watching Bones again.” Kneeling down, I pulled my dog into my arms and nuzzled him. “You be a good boy, and no barking in the middle of the night.”

As if on cue, Bones woofed and took off down the driveway. “It’s nice to see you listen,” I muttered after him sarcastically, at first mistaking his actions for enthusiasm. It wasn’t until after I heard a vicious snarl come from him, mirroring another from a dog—a pitbull—I’d never seen before, that I took off after him.

“Bella! Stop!” Edward called after me, and I could hear his heavy footfalls behind me as I reached Bones at the same moment that the bigger, slightly older dog lunged.

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser to this week's update!

I was barely through the door before Edward’s arms were around me in an almost bone-crushing hug, and my surprise for him forgotten.

“I’m so glad you’re back,” he breathed into my neck, kissing below my ear several times before lifting his head to look at me. “Why didn’t you call?”

“Uh... I forgot? Sorry...” What the hell was going on with him? Something definitely wasn’t right.

“I asked you to let me know when you were on your way home,” he stated firmly, his eyes flashing what looked like mild irritation, before turning from me and heading for the kitchen where he had started to prepare dinner.

Following him, I set the bag on the island and crossed my arms across my body defensively; my frustration had finally reaching its peak. “I said I was sorry. Had I known it was such a big deal, I’d have called.” Were we seriously fighting about me not calling when he knew I wasn’t going to be gone long? For crying out loud, he’d made the trip into town before, it’s not like he had no idea as to an approximate timeframe for when I’d return.

I was staring at his back as he placed his hands flat on the counter in front of him, slumping his head and shoulders almost like he had been defeated. “I was just ... worried,” he confessed, his voice soft and barely audible.

“About what? You knew where I was...” I was growing more and more confused as time went on.

He snapped his head around, his eyebrows knit together. “Did I?”

Whoa. What?

A familiar warmth bloomed within my body as his hands moved over my hips and slipped into the back of my shorts to grip my ass firmly as I rocked against him eagerly.

Needing to take a breath, I pulled my lips from his, smiling and meeting his burning stare as I reached for the hem of my tank top and lifted it over my head. It confused me when I lowered my face back to his and he pulled back slightly.

"What are you—?"

His head shifted to the right slightly and he smirked. "Just making sure there's no knocking at the door ... no phones ringing. It seems we're prone to being interrupted."

Shifting my hips softly, his eyes fluttered and his fingers dug into the flesh of my ass. "It's almost midnight," I said with a light laugh, leaning forward and pulling his earlobe between my teeth before whispering in his ear. "I assure you there will be no further interruptions. Make love to me, Edward. In our bed."

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser for tomorrow's update:

The air was infused with the heavenly scent of my vegetarian dish by the time Edward re-emerged, wearing nothing more than his black flannels and a white t-shirt.

"Just in time," I told him happily, pulling dinner out of the oven. "The bread will take about ten minutes. Would you mind setting the table?"

"Not at all." I soon regretted asking for his assistance when I stood from putting the bread in and felt his body brush up against mine.

Everywhere his skin connected with mine was like a live wire, crackling and sparkling to life. My heart raced and I felt warmth spread all over my body as it flushed. Then, he was gone and putting the plates on the table. He was toying with me; testing my willpower. Well, two could play at that game.

"Is it me, or is it hot in here?" I asked, opening the freezer and grabbing an ice cube from the freezer. It wasn't a total lie; it was warm in here what with the unseasonal warmth outside and the rising temperature from the oven being on.

"Yeah, I guess a litt—"

By the time he turned around, I had started running the ice cube over my neck.

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser!

A slender hand wrapped around my wrist, pulling me roughly through the main door to the new barn. Before I could question what was happening, Bella had me pressed against the wall, her lips ravaging mine while her hands rapidly worked to undo my pants.

“Mmm,” I mumbled against her voracious mouth. “Bella, what are you doing?”

Bella pulled her face back and smiled up at me. “I’ve been watching you all damn morning, and I just can’t take it anymore,” she confessed, her voice soft and breathy as she yanked my pants open and slipped her hand inside.

My head fell back against the wall with a soft thud as her delicate fingers wrapped themselves around my cock and began to move up and down … up and motherfucking down. “Shit, baby,” I moaned, my hands reaching out and cradling her face to draw her mouth up to mine.

Our lips united passionately as my fingers worked their way into her loose hair, pulling her closer to me in an effort to deepen our already fevered kiss. As our lips assailed one another almost violently, she moaned and whimpered into my mouth, each one sounding even more glorious than the last … and I hadn’t even touched her yet.

That was when I realized: I hadn’t even fucking touched her yet! Without another thought, I pulled my hands from her hair, moved them down her body and cupped her ass to lift her off the ground and turn her around. Having no other choice when her feet left the floor, she withdrew her hand from my pants, leaving my dick shrouded behind my underwear as my jeans started to fall down my legs.

In order to ensure she didn’t slide right back to the ground, her legs wrapped around my waist as I pressed her against the wall and I pushed my hips forward against her. Panting breathlessly, she broke our kiss as she rocked her hips eagerly against my straining erection and pressed her face into my neck.

“Oooh,” she moaned, her hips moving persistently against my ever-hardening cock; the only thing keeping our bodies from joining being my boxers and her yoga pants—and I was hoping to rectify that right fucking quick.

“Oooooh… Shit…” As the sounds of her pleasure echoed in my ears, her long, precise movements against me changed slightly and her arms tightened around my neck. Her fingers began tugging at the short hairs at the base of my neck, and prickles of pleasure shot through my entire body until they settled in my groin. “Oh God!”

I couldn’t believe what was happening; save for my jeans now being around my ankles, we still had most of our clothes on and I was pretty sure Bella just fucking came. Her arms and legs began to tremble around me slightly, informing me that my assumption was likely correct, and I pulled my face back. “Did you just—?”

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser:

“Now that I understand your feelings, we’ll wait to tell everyone,” I told her, realizing that her reasoning was sound. “If it makes you more comfortable to wait, then we’ll wait. I’m sorry for thinking you had another reason behind the idea. I’ll give you the time you need if you can be patient with me as I try to overcome my own issues.”

“Only if you’re sure, Edward,” she said, her eyebrows raised and pulled together. “I don’t want this to be the source of anymore discord between us.”

“It won’t be,” I assured her. “Now that I understand why you wanted to wait, I can see your point.” Feeling the need to show her with more than words of how happy I was that we had been able to discuss our feelings with each other, I leaned in for a kiss.

Before my lips could make contact though, Bella turned her head away from me and pulled herself out of my arms. “I’m sorry. I know we talked about everything, but I’m still just kind of ... reeling, you know?” It physically pained me when she started for the door, and she must have sensed this because she turned to me. “I’m just going for a walk. I need some time to think about everything. I’ll stay on the grounds. I promise.”

Even though I didn’t want her to go anywhere, I nodded, hoping to show her a little of that trust that I seemed to have been lacking earlier. “Okay. I’ll be here.” Just as she moved for the hall again, I called out to her. “Bella?” She turned back, meeting my nervous-as-fuck stare. “Are we okay?”

The right side of her mouth turned up and she nodded. “We will be...”
