Chapter 1… Agreement

"Bellaaauuuhhh.." Edward groaned against Bella's searing lips, as she grinded her hips against his. A sharp gasp escaped Edward's mouth as he felt her hot wet tongue brush deliciously along his bottom lip, begging for entrance. His hands reached out to her hips, gripping her dangerously closer. He swallowed Bella's tiny moan as he held her tighter kissing her more fiercely, but not allowing her tongue to explore his venomous mouth. Frustrated, Bella broke the kiss and began a trail of hot open mouthed kisses towards his ear nibbling forcefully on his earlobe. Bella heard his slight intake of breath and felt his hands slowly creep up from her waist to shyly brush under her shirt; trailing cold stone fingers along her spine.

"Bella….s-stop…" It was practically a plea. Bella could feel Edward's control start to slowly breakdown. His body suddenly went rigid and tense under her as she moved her sweet hot lips to his mouth and brushed her tongue against his cold lips more forcefully, demanding him to open up. She could sense the rejection coming soon, but she didn't want to stop… Not just yet.

"Bella?" came a breathless whisper against her lips. It was a cry for help.

"Mmm-hmmm?" Bella questioned innocently against his lips, gently biting at his bottom lip. Edward summoned what little will-power he had left and broke the kiss holding her at arms length. "Please Bella, must I always be the responsible one?" Edward grumbled reaching around to untangle her nimble fingers from his hair and pinning them steady against her sides.

"Unfortunately." Bella mumbled huskily trying to break free of his cold grasp and seek his cold lips once more. Edward firmly held her back. "The wedding is only two weeks away, love, please, please, please try and be a bit more patient. " Edward plead, his voice sounding strained.

"I really wish you would stop saying that." Bella groaned struggling to escape his hold and locking her thighs tighter on Edward's lap. Bella suddenly felt a rush of air and she was momentarily airborne. With a loud 'oomph' she landed spread eagle against her mattress.

"Please Bella you're not making this any easier, you're grossly underestimating my control right now." Said a frustrated voice from behind her. Stunned, Bella swiveled around quickly facing her culprit. Edward was sitting down in the rocking chair dramatically pinching the bridge of his nose. Bella gritted her teeth and let out a fierce growl slamming her face back against the pillows. "You're starting to sound like a broken record you know." Her muffled voice quipped through the pillow, knowing full well that he could hear her perfectly. Edward scoffed. "At least one of us is thinking logically."

Defeated, Bella slammed her fist against the pillows. The perfect day was very quickly turning into the worst. They had spent the whole day with just each other, there was no dress or tuxedo fittings, no calls over trivial wedding questions, no killer vampires out for Bella's blood. No…It was just them, a rarity indeed. Edward had pleasantly surprised her when he said he was kidnapping her for the day, just her and him. He had taken her to their meadow. They stretched out with arms and legs entwined in the grass talking about the past, futures, hopes, worries, life. It was perfect. When Edward had snuck back through the window that night after Charlie had fallen asleep he immediately wrapped himself in Bella's arms. Bella honestly didn't intend for their make-out session to get out of hand, but as she climbed on top of Edward's lap she couldn't help herself.

Bella sighed and maneuvered herself around to face her beautiful angel. "Can you please just come back over here and kiss your fiancée?" She asked casually draping an arm around her waist and the other one holding up her head. Edward felt the sharp taste of his venom as he noticed the arm casually draped across her waist did interesting things to her cleavage, pushing them up in the most enticing way.

Edward quickly averted his gaze and let a crooked grin grow across his stony face. Bella never used the term "fiancée" lightly, you would damn near have to use Chinese torture for a good 48 hours before you could get her to utter that phrase, and it never failed to lit up every fiber of Edward's being when he heard that word escape her lips. He was know simpleton though, he wasn't born yesterday, he knew perfectly well Bella knew exactly what words he liked to hear to melt him heart and soul. 'Smart girl' . He turned and eyed her suspiciously. "Are you going to be good?" Edward said in a teasing tone. Bella smiled sweetly and lightly licked her bottom lip. Any normal human being would've missed that little tongue brush gently against her bottom lip, but Edward captured every second of it.

A sharp pang coiled in Edwards abdomen, and venom pooled in his mouth once more.

"I'll be a good girl." Bella practically purred and started to crawl on all fours towards him, resembling a tigress about to kill her prey. Bella had never looked sexier; her wavy chocolate brown hair was mused and cascading down her back. She was clad in only her forest green boy cut underwear and a rather skin tight black tank top that clung to her every curve. Edward couldn't help but notice that she wasn't wearing a bra. 'Two more weeks, only two more weeks' he chanted to himself, correcting his mind from wandering too much. Bella stopped at the foot of the bed rising to stand on her knees. She smirked seductively and motioned with her index finger for Edward to come closer. By some powerful force beyond his control catapulted Edward out of the rocking chair and stood in front of Bella.

Bella sighed a sweet moan as she started placing butterfly kisses along Edward's chest and up towards his throat. A deep growl rumbled in Edward's throat as she started placing hot opened mouth kisses along his jaw and towards his ear, the place where it was the sweetest. He couldn't let this get out of control again, he reluctantly held her at arms length.

"No, something tells me you're not going to play nice at all." Edward grumbled. Bella sighed and sat back on her heels. "Come on! I wasn't even being that bad!"

"Love, you know we can't get carried away, why can't you just be a little bit more patient? I can't risk hurting you right now, even a little bruise."

Bella quickly shot up back on her knees bringing their faces so close that she could feel Edward's sweet icy breath against her parted lips. "But that's exactly my point, "she began breaking loose from his cold grasp and gingerly wrapping her arms around his neck, Edward couldn't help automatically leaning in to her sweet touch. "When the time has come and we finally…you know…" she trailed off, "it's probably going to be ten times more dangerous!" Edward suddenly ripped his away from her gaze, banishing the image of Bella in pain. Bella forced him to look at her again. "I'm serious Edward; it'll be like going 0 to 60 miles per hour! How do you know that you're going to have that much self control if you can't even stand an innocent kiss right now?"

Bella felt Edward take a deep breath in-between their bodies, his brow furrowed as his mind contemplated her words. There was a long moment of silence as their eyes met; uncertain cold black orbs peered into her warm chocolate ones. "You do have a point." Edward began quietly. "But I don't know if I can even take that risk with you right now."

Bella hugged him a little bit closer. "Edward you promised that we would try after the wedding right?"

"Yes." Edward replied not missing a beat.

"And you think you'll be able to just magically summon enough self control and not kill me?"

Edward winced again, quickly banishing that horrifying image of Bella withering in pain from his touches. "Where are you going with this Bella?" Edward demanded sounding a little bit too stern then he meant it. He really hated any conversation that regarded his self control, it never went anywhere.

"All I'm saying is that we should work on your control. I'm not proposing that we test your limits but it's probably a good idea that we get used to some more intimate…. scenarios." She ended with a shy shrug. Bella couldn't control the heat that crept up on her cheeks. She felt Edward's cool hand brush the back of it, soothing some of the warmth. Bella sighed. "You had to learn to get desensitized to my smell, and I think you're going to have to get desensitized to the other stuff as well."

There was a slight uncertain pause. "I don't know if I can control myself if things get a little too heated."

"I know, but that's what we're going to have to work on. If things start to get too... hot..." A new level of warmth flooded her cheeks. "Then we'll stop, simple as that. Let's just try though; I want our wedding night too be at least somewhat less complicated."

Edward took a deep breath in; her scent caused his throat to rip into flames. The sharp taste of venom pooled into his mouth. Edward's lips pursed as he carefully swallowed a mouthful of venom. "I don't want to hurt you." Edward barely whispered, his voice laden with torment. Bella broke their eye contact for a brief moment and bit her lip, uncertainty clouding her face. "To be honest with you Edward, I'm a little bit more worried about you hurting me on our wedding night."

Despite the sensitive subject Edward couldn't help but let a slow crooked smile spread across her face. As much as he didn't want to admit it, Bella was one hundred percent right. They definitely needed to be able to work through at least the mechanics before they could actually go through with anything. Her nimble little fingers began gently tugging at the ends of his tousled hair. tugging lightly at his ends; with a groan he let his eyes close, enjoying the pleasant teasing sensations in his stomach from her ministrations.

"I'm only trying to help you." Bella whispered almost inaudibly. He grinned widely. "Oh come on, you know what you were doing all along weren't you?" Edward teased wrapping his arms around Bella's tiny waist. Bella grinned sheepishly and shrugged.

"A little, yeah." Bella admitted, letting out a sweet giggle. They both laughed then, the tension between them started to ebb away ever so slightly. After a short while Edward gently touched his cool forehead against Bella's feverish one.

"God, I love you so much." Edward admitted breathlessly.

"Meh, you'll do." Bella teased. Edward let out a husky laugh. They both stayed wrapped around each other for a little while longer, perfectly content with just being in each other's presence. "I can't believe I'm actually agreeing to something that puts you at risk."

Bella's face suddenly lit up, "So does this mean yes?" Bella questioned softly, a hint of hopefulness tinted her voice. Edward suddenly eyed her suspiciously.

"Just hold on there one second, love. You have to promise me something."

Bella leaned her forehead away from his and looked into his eyes seriously, all hint of laughter gone.

"I already agreed to marry you, what more do you want from me?"

Edward snorted ignoring her comical attempt

"You have to promise me that if things get too…Like you said…hot….Then we HAVE to stop, and I mean it. Or I'll break this agreement then and there."

Bella couldn't help but smile against his seriousness.

"Why are you smiling?! I'm serious Bella!" He demanded giving her a quick shake.

Bella broke in a fit of little giggles.

"I know! I know! I'm sorry; you're just cute when you're serious." She laughed wrapping her arms tighter around his neck, bringing their bodies so close that she could feel every inch of his hard body. Edward didn't respond.

"This IS serious Bella, you HAVE to promise me." He demanded. Bella abruptly wiped away any trace of laughter and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Okay, I'm sorry…I promise." Bella swore. Edward raised his eyebrows waiting for the giggles to start again. Bella cleared her throat, not a hint of a smile on her face.

"No, I'm dead serious. I promise if things to get to be too much we'll stop."

Edward eyed her suspiciously and after a while Bella could feel the tension in his body give way. A cool sigh brushed over her face letting his delicious scent cloud her senses.

"Alright…Let's do this." He simply stated.

It felt like her entire body burst into flames, he actually agreed to her proposal?! In what alternate universe was she living in? A wave of triumph washed over her, and with a scream of joy she practically sprang into Edward's arms wrapping her legs tightly around him, Edward laughed loudly and hugged her back tightly. They stayed like that for a while before Edward lifted his head to look into her eyes.

"Well… Soon-to-be Mrs. Edward Cullen, where do you propose we start?" Edward's voice was low and husky.. Bella felt the heat rush to her cheek as warm chocolate brown eyes met his cold lustful onyx black eyes.
