Chapter 19 Teaser

Isabella gasped and then licked her lips, shifting in her chair. Her stomach immediately fluttered, her heart started racing, and her panties were most definitely damp after hearing him whisper in that tone of voice. She'd had her fill of sweet drinks, sweet desserts and her even sweeter husband...she wanted hot and spicy and she wanted it now.

She glanced quickly around the table to make sure no one was watching them and leaned forward, taking care to purposely graze her fingers across the front of his pants. "My gorgeous, sexy husband," she whispered in his ear and then flicked her tongue at his earlobe, "I can guarantee if you take me home right now," she breathed out at took the bit of sensitive flesh between her teeth and bit, gently. "I most definitely will let you take this beautiful dress off me, but only if I get to undress you. I promise I'll take my time, and I might even, maybe..." she teased as she licked the side of his neck, "have to touch you, everywhere, as I go. Sometimes I just can't help myself; you wouldn't mind that, would you, sweetheart?"

"Fuck...Isabella," Edward groaned quietly and picked her hand up from where her fingers were driving him mad. "The only question I have for you, my love, is how fast can you walk in those shoes?" he asked with a grin and a crooked eyebrow.

He quickly paid their check which caused the others at the table to do the same. It really was late...and it had been a long, emotionally draining day. However, with the promise of a naked and from all appearances, very willing Isabella, any thoughts of sleep were far, far away.

The group made their way out the door and were saying goodbye when a voice sneered, "Well, isn't this sweet?"

Edward whipped his head around and was face to face with the very pompous-looking Vincent Sinclair surrounded as usual by his gaggle of yes-men.

"Sinclair," Edward said levelly.

Chapter 18 Teaser

"It's such a good performance," Isabella remarked to Edward as they stood up from their seats. "You should be proud of your support, sweetheart. I am," she told him as he took her hand.

Many other patrons had the same sentiment and Edward and Isabella were stopped many times on their way to the opera Bistro to meet up with Emmett, Rose, Marcus, Alec and their dates. Isabella excused herself to stop at the bathroom and Edward found himself walking toward the gift shop and ran smack dab into...Anna.

"Um...Anna," Edward said nervously as he looked around for his wife. As soon as a flash of white appeared off to the side, he knew that the moment he'd been dreading was finally here.

He quickly looked at Seth who calmly said, "Edward, it will be fine. You can do this."

"But, Isabella," Edward stammered, not quite making excuses...but awfully damn close.

"Is otherwise occupied," the angel replied instantly. "No more waiting, Edward Anthony. Trust me."

Edward sighed, resigned to listen to the otherworldly being. So far, even though Seth had seemed to get immense pleasure in his being uncomfortable, he hadn't lied to him. "Okay," Edward answered finally. "You're staying right?"

Seth rolled his ice blue eyes and then nodded and motioned for him to proceed.

"Edward...um...I was wondering if you have a moment?" Anna asked and Edward couldn't help but gape at the uncharacteristic way she sounded. 

Anna Davenport didn't do unsure, at least not in his experience. 

With one more nod of approval and support from the angel, Edward nodded his head and motioned toward an empty sitting area. They each took a seat and stared uncomfortably at one another. Edward noticed out of the corner of his eye that Seth was leaning against the wall. 

"Edward, I..." Anna began in a shaky voice. 

"Anna, there is something..." Edward began at the same time. 

Anna shifted in her seat and then took a deep breath. Seeing Edward look as uncomfortable as she felt actually helped settle her nerves. She straightened her shoulders and resolved to follow through with what she wanted to accomplish by talking to Edward. He didn't immediately tell her to go to hell which gave her hope that he'd at least listen. 

Edward stared at Anna and watched a myriad of emotions flash across her face. It was plain to see that there was something that she wanted to say to him, so being the gentleman he was brought up to be, he said, "Why don't you go first."

Chapter 17 Pic Tease

Chapter 17 Teaser

"Come on, we're late," he snapped as he held her coat for her. Hey, he did have some class and he knew when to use his manners.

He ushered them out of the apartment and they quickly made their way into the car that was waiting at the entrance for them. He nodded at the driver that opened the door and snorted when the guy's eyeballs almost popped out of his head as Anna slithered into the car, being sure to show plenty of skin. If she wasn't so good in bed and didn't come from one of the most respected families in Chicago, he would have ended things with her long ago.

The thrill of taking her from Edward wore off quickly, especially when he realized Edward seemed to be more relieved than anything to be rid of her. It should have tipped him off when he managed to find his way into her bed...well Edward's if you wanted to get technical, with relative ease, but with Edward Cullen you could never tell. He was one cool fucking customer, that was for damn sure.

He wondered how easy it would be to get into Isabella's bed. He actually shivered as he imagined how she would look, naked, ready and waiting until he fucked her and kept fucking her until she begged him to stop. He knew though, judging from the few times he'd seen Edward and Isabella at functions over the years, there was no way in hell she'd ever cheat on Edward...none. He didn't believe in things like love, fidelity, or hell even honesty for that matter, but one look at Isabella and the way she looked at Edward, was enough to make her untouchable...especially for someone like him.

Didn't mean he couldn't dream though, now did it?

Anna huffed as they sped toward the opera house. She couldn't get out of her mind what her friend, Yvette, had told her earlier in the day when they were getting their nails done. Yvette and Chase had been at the same restaurant Edward and Isabella happened to be eating at the night before. Of course they were there for very different reasons, seeing as Chase was Yvette's lover and not her husband, so they had chosen someplace off the beaten path so to speak to eat before adjourning to their hotel room. Yvette kept going on and on about how different Edward appeared; how he couldn't stop touching or kissing his wife, and how blissfully happy he'd looked. Yvette swore she'd never seen anything as intense...or as hot, as the way Edward and Isabella had gazed at each other. She gleefully admitted it made her dalliance with Chase even more frantic than usual; not that she was complaining in the least.

Chapter 16 Teaser

Isabella clapped adorably. "I can't wait to see her; it's been such a long time. Emmett told me Vincent Sinclair will be there also? Will we be seeing him?" she asked and Edward knew this was the opening he'd been waiting for.

"Yes...and yes, to answer both your questions. Isabella, before we go tomorrow night there is something I need to tell you and I know I should have done this a long time ago. Um..." he said and then blew out a nervous breath. "Vincent will more than likely be accompanied by Anna Davenport and while normally you wouldn't care about who was going as whose date, in this case you might."

Isabella could feel her eyebrows dip as she tried to understand what Edward was telling her. "Beautiful, Anna and I were in a relationship for almost two years...two really long, regrettable damn years to be honest with you."

She gasped once she comprehended what he was saying. She knew, of course, that there had been other women before her. He'd admitted that much when they had had the required and very awkward sex talk when they first started dating. Looking the way he did and being the person he was, she was surprised and very relieved that he hadn't slept with half of Chicago before they'd gotten married.

But...Anna Davenport?! Holy hell. Isabella was a very confident woman. She knew she was pretty and Edward certainly told her she was beautiful often enough...but still. She had no problem standing beside Rose and Alice, and they were the two most beautiful women she knew. Blonde bombshell... that was the first thought she had when she pictured Anna.

Once she'd gotten over her shock, she finally registered what he'd said...and how he'd said it. It wasn't a relationship he looked back on with fondness, that was obvious.

"What happened?" she asked as she scooted closer to him, needing to be as close as possible.
