Bella bolted upright in the bed. "Never leaving? What do you mean by that?"

Edward raised an eyebrow. "It means that you aren't allowed to leave."

Bella grew concerned, "Like never allowed to leave alive or because I know too much, or because you care for me?"

Edward smoothed her hair, "I will not allow it because I need you."

Bella felt intoxicated by those words and pressed no further in that moment. But was it because he needed her because he cared for her, or because he needed a good accountant.

"Tell me more about working for you. What benefits do you offer?" She teased.

"We offer plenty of benefits." Edward peppered her with kisses.

Bella lifted her nose in the area and retorted, "I'll consider it."
