Summary: Bella’s innocence was taken from her at a young age; the secret has dominated her life ever since. When she meets a reluctant vampire, Bella decides to ask his help in seeking revenge.
Bells_forever: Yeah. So I was wondering… what’s your real name?
Ali_pixy: Where is that coming from? Why would you ask me that? That’s not really any of your business. I don’t even know your real name.
Bells_forever: Yes, you do. Well, you almost do. It’s Bella. My dad calls me Bells.
Ali_pixy: And… so? I don’t understand why this is so important all of a sudden, or why you’re giving me a hard time…

Chapter 3 of A Moonless Night by ScottishRose1028
Summary: “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night…” On a moonless night, fate steps in and takes a hand in the destiny of Edward and Bella, changing their lives forever. AH/AU
“Well, good morning, Edward,” Alice grinned.
“Good morning, Miss Cullen,” Edward couldn’t keep from smiling back at her; she had a smile that was infectious. “I have your breakfast ready.”
“Come in, come in!” Alice insisted, moving aside to allow him into the room.
Edward set down the heavy tray carefully and looked up into the beautiful face of his angel. Bella’s hair fell over her shoulders, loose and unadorned. The soft yellow of her morning gown made the golden highlights in her eyes and hair glow but the dazzling smile she had for him put everything else to shame.
Bella felt her heart clench at the sight of Edward, his soft green eyes bright and his answering smile making her breathless. She stared into his eyes, trying to decipher the emotion that smoldered just under the surface. He gazed back, and they might have stayed that way forever if Alice hadn’t giggled, bringing them out of their daze.
Edward felt his cheeks heat as he ducked his head and went about setting up the small table, trying to remain focused on his task. He finished setting everything up and stepped back, pulling out a chair for Alice to sit, and then repeating the action for Bella. Her eyes once again met his and for a moment he allowed himself to drown in them.

Chapter 4 of A Promise Kept by Cullen312
Summary: Edward Masen, Earl of Whitmore, never expected to fall in love but then he meets beautiful American, Isabella Swan. Set in the midst of one of the greatest maritime disasters in history the odds are stacked against them. AH-Set in 1912.
“Did you see Bella?”
“I did,” was Jasper’s only reply.
“And?”
“And what?”
I growled at him, it was the only thing I could do because punching my best man an hour before my wedding was not the thing a gentleman would do, no matter how much the best man might deserve it.
“I knew I should have asked someone else to stand up with me,” I muttered.

Chapter 5 of Accidentally in Love by Missus T
Summary: A personal ad for a fake fiancée leads to something they never expected. Two lonely souls discover that faking it might be the best thing that ever happened to them. ExB AH
We waited for another couple to check in, then Edward was greeted like an old friend. “Mr. Cullen, good to have you back, sir.”
He read her nametag and gave her a charming smile. “Thank you, Zafrina, we’re glad to be here. Are the rooms ready?”
“Rooms, sir?”
He cocked his head, and they looked at each other in confusion. “Yes, rooms. I reserved a suite and a deluxe room with a king sized bed.”
“Yes, sir,” she smiled in relief, “and your sister Alice checked into the deluxe room about an hour ago. The suite is ready.”
“She what?” Edward looked shocked.
“Mrs. Whitlock came to check in and enquired as to whether you had arrived. When I told her that both of your rooms were vacant she said she must have misunderstood and cancelled their room.”
It was obvious that the Cullen family made a habit of staying at the Roosevelt, and the poor girl looked terrified at the thought she’d somehow inconvenienced him. I wasn’t sure that Edward could even comprehend what was going through her head, but I certainly did. She needed this job and she was afraid she might have just seriously screwed herself.
“Was that wrong, sir? I still have deluxe rooms available if you need one.”
I couldn’t stand to watch her suffer while Edward looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language.
“No,” I assured her as I put a hand on Edward’s arm. “That’s exactly what happened. I forgot to tell Mrs. Whitlock that we’d booked them a room.”
Edward’s eyes swung to meet mine and I nodded. We certainly didn’t need to have this conversation in front of the desk clerk.
“Oh, good. I mean, I’m glad that we cleared that up,” Zafrina said with much relief. She finished checking us in and gave Edward our key-cards, mentioning that we were in time for happy-hour at their rooftop bar.
“Thank you,” he smiled at her, his calm and charm had returned after being slightly flustered by Alice’s hotel room nabbing, “But we’re meeting my sister elsewhere.”
“Of course. Your luggage will be delivered to your suite shortly. Enjoy your stay, Mr. Cullen, Miss Swan.”

Chapter 21 of An Italian Winter by Raum
Summary: His rebellion began for a reason; it still holds true and brought him to Italy. His life’s been predicated on revenge for decades; forgiveness seems impossible. When Edward meets Bella, only a winter separates him from his last prey and his own destruction.
The question wasn’t strange, but it caught me off guard. “Portland, Oregon,” I answered. “My father worked at the local hospital.” Of all the colleges and high schools I had attended, the first name that came to mind was the city where I was living by the time I left the Cullens. I had continued to study, but I hadn’t enrolled in high school or college since then.
Just the mention of the city, and I felt as if I were back there with my adoptive family. My mood change didn’t go unnoticed by Bella. I rubbed at my eyes, pretending I was a bit sleepy, but I didn’t fool her. She knew what turn my thoughts were taking.

Chapter 18 of Any Way the Wind Blows by Miss Baby
Summary: When fate brings a jaded young doctor to the small town of Forks, he expects nothing out of his stay but a shot at redemption. Little does he know that a new patient and a mysterious young woman will turn his exile into the experience of a lifetime.
“Edward, is that you?” His sister’s voice sounded from somewhere deep in the house, barely audible above the sound of the vacuum.
“Where the hell are you?” he called back, throwing his coat in the general direction of the coat rack. “And why are you cleaning when you have people coming in two times a week to do just that?”
“I’m in the dining room,” Esme’s voice belted back, the sound magnified as she pulled the plug on the vacuum cleaner.
Edward had a hard time not laughing when he came across her, her face blotched from exertion and her expensive sweater rolled up her arms as she frantically rubbed beeswax into the surface of the dining room table.
“Not a word, Ned,” she growled, her hair a mess as she kept on polishing. “Not. A. Word.”
“What the hell are you doing?” Edward snorted, pulling his tie loose from his neck as he pulled back a chair and plopped down, too tired to even care about pissing his sister off.
“Mom’s coming,” Esme growled, her voice betraying every bit of frustration she felt. “We’ve been summoned to Sea-Tac at two o’clock sharp tomorrow afternoon to pick her up.”

Chapter 8 of Buried in Words by gnomea
Summary: OOC. He wanted her to heal him. She needed him to draw strength from. The only problem was, they couldn’t give what the other needed. E/B. All human.
Seattle was the best, if not the only, choice I had. Not only did I own the house I resided in, but also being there somewhat alleviated the pain of what had happened. That was why I was here. Jasper understood my reluctance to face my demons, although I could see he didn’t approve of my procrastination. But heck, it was better than my dad’s repressed anger towards me. He blamed me for everything, and maybe I deserved it. Fuck if I even knew what was what anymore.
“Hey,” Bella’s voice interrupted my thoughts. I was teetering on dangerous grounds again, and I was glad she had stopped my internal musing before I could go further and wallow in self-pity again. Smiling, I squeezed her had.
“Hey,” I replied back, trying to wipe the apprehension I was sure was mirrored on my face.
“I lost you for a while there. Where did you go?”
“Ahmm…was just thinking,” I answered, evading her question. The shrilling sound from her purse saved me from further inquisition, and I let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully, she didn’t notice it.
She fished her phone out and answered chirpily, “Hi, Emmie!”
My heart rate jumped right back up at that greeting. Who the hell was Emmie? My agitation doubled, and I was again on the verge of losing it. My earlier thoughts coupled with the unexpected jealousy upon hearing her speak to a guy so fondly made me angry.
I knew for a fact Emmie wasn’t the ex-boyfriend. Jasper had given me the full scoop on Bella’s relationship with James. It ended some time ago, but the way he acted around her and the way he looked at her made it obvious he still wanted her.
“Yes, you say thank you to Rose…I know, sweetie…aha…” I heard her say. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back there in no time, I promise.”
I glanced at her and saw the smile gracing her lips, and I frowned. I was starting to not like this Emmie.
“I miss you, too. Yes, I’ll bring some more white shirts when I come,” she continued, cradling the phone with one hand as she bit on her nails while she talked.
What the fuck? She missed him? I was not liking their conversation. Who the hell was this guy?
They continued to chat while I tried not to listen too much, which was so goddamn hard to do, and let my jealousy ruin the night. I did have a temper, and I didn’t want something as little as her talking to some boy make me lose it.
“Yes, don’t worry…next weekend. Okay, luv yah!”
This Emmie was someone I now officially hated. “Who’s that?” I asked, my tone not masking the irritation in my voice.
Bella just raised her eyebrow at me. And I scowled.

Chapter 9 of Celestial Countenance by mcgt
Summary: Sometimes when your life is all going downhill, the only place left to go is up. What if that place isn’t exactly where Bella thinks? Perhaps, a more heavenly destination instead? A story about life, love and redemption.
“Good morning,” Alistair sang from the door, striding in and opening the curtains with an exuberant swish of his hand. “You’re looking pretty good this morning Isabella. I think today might just be the day.”
Rolling onto my side and shielding my eyes from the glare of the sun I grumbled a hello, inquiring what made today so special.
Of course, as was par for the course he didn’t reply to my question, just moving about the room and chattering cheerfully to himself.
If I didn’t know better I would have guessed the guy had gotten laid or something with his out of character pleasant demeanor.
“I’m going to leave you for a bit. I’m sure your visitor will be along shortly.”
Shaking my head, I had no idea what the hell had just happened. I wasn’t sure if I was still groggy with sleep but it seemed like Alistair was actually in a good mood. How could that be? He’d always been curt, bordering on rude, and today he was acting like Mary Poppins or something.
I stood up stretching my tense muscles when my mind drifted back to my midnight caller. Sitting back down on the corner of my bed I sighed heavily, wishing he was here keeping me company.
But he wasn’t.
And I could only wait until he hopefully returned tonight.

Chapter 4 of CheerBall by KaliCali77
Summary: This is a story about two teachers at CA Bay Area high school. Emmett is a head football coach that doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions. Bella is an ex-pro cheerleader, who is starting her teaching career. They both have a slightly twisted ex in their past. They fight getting together, but sometimes love, family, & friends have other plans for them.
“We know nothing happened between you and Jasper. Are there any other guys that tickle your fancy?” Esme asked after taking a long sip of her drink.
Trying it get them off that topic, I said, “My dear Esme, why do you turn British when you are drunk?”
Bree saw right through my attempt. “Nice try, Bella. There is someone you like, isn’t there?”
“No, there isn’t. At least, I don’t think there is.” I said taking my drink back from Bree and staring at the cherries sitting in vodka. “Even if there was, I don’t know if I want there to be someone or if he wants me.”
“What the hell is all of that psycho babble?” Esme asked drawing my eyes to her.
“Nothing…”
“All of that bat crap wasn’t “nothing”.” Alice countered putting air quotes around nothing. “Who has got your panties in a bunch? Again, we know it wasn’t that Jasper guy.”
I chuckled at Alice mentioning Jasper. “Sorry, it really is nothing. I think Rose just likes to mess with my head sometimes.”
“How did Rose mess with you head?” Bree asked completely confused.
Finally wising up, Esme said, “You told Rosalie about what happened after you got home from your date with Jasper.”
“I didn’t go on a date with Jasper, or I didn’t know I was going on a date with Jasper.” I said throwing up my hands. “Yes, I told Rose that I caught Emmett in the living room with his pants down. What is it a big problem that I did?”
“Yes and no.”
“Wait a minute.” Bree said as she stood up and stepped in between Esme and me. “You told Rose, Rosalie Hale, about catching Emmett with his pants down? I just can’t believe you are friends with Rosalie Hale after what…”
Alice cut her off by clamping a hand over her mouth. “Bree, please stop saying that name.” Then, she whispered something else in Bree’s ear.
“Does Emmett really think that by him saying the subject is mute that Bella isn’t going to find out someday?” Bree questioned. Esme and Alice exchanged a glance and then, looked at me before nodding yes. “He knows that it is incredibly stupid, right?” The cousins nodded their head yes again and Bree flopped back onto the couch.
“What am I missing?” I demanded.
Bree spoke again. “Ask Emmett. Sorry, but I am not having two of my friends mad at me for telling you. Mute, seriously.”
“What does any of this have to do with me being friends with Rose?” Then, something dawned on me. “Does any of this have to do with Rose having to have a paternity test after the baby is born?”

Chapter 2 of Criminal by JadedLadies
Summary: Gang life, handcuffs, and bars keep them apart, but as they say, love overcomes all things. Or does it? As Tori’s life unravels, she must decide if love is enough to heal the damage James left in his wake. A novella written by Jadsmama.
“You stayed,” he says before adding in softer tone, “thank you, baby.”
I’m lost for words at his apprehension; doesn’t this man know I’ll never leave his side? He’s part of my life, despite the danger and stupidity of it all, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Our eyes remain locked as he walks further into the room. We’re feeling each other out with every step he takes, searching for an indication that nothing has changed between us since his departure the night before.
I pull back the comforter, inviting him in. I’m desperate to feel his skin, to inhale the clean, earthy smell of his body, and to allow his husky voice to fill my ears. I need some type of confirmation that I’m no longer dreaming, that he really did come back to me.

Chapter 14 of Cutlass by TKegl
Summary: Isabella Swan is certain notorious pirate, Edward Cullen, murdered her father and stole his prized cutlass. Out for revenge, she sneaks onto his ship, but Captain Cullen claims she has the wrong man. A tale of the search for truth…and treasure of course.
Edward rounded the corner and paused, tilting his head at the muffled sounds of voices behind the door in front of him. He couldn’t make out what they were saying, but after a moment, raucous laughter broke out, and he could identify one of the voices as decidedly female.
Bella.
Edward breathed in a rush of relief, quickly followed by gritting his teeth in frustration and annoyance. Here he was, worried about Bella’s safety, waking his crewmen up at all hours in his concern, and she’d been down here laughing without a concern in the world with–
Who was she with?
She laughed again, light and bubbly, a lower-toned chuckle accompanying the sound. Edward could stand it no longer. He burst through the door, ready to brain whichever of his men had the audacity to approach his woman…to laugh with her… to…
He came to an abrupt stop at the scene before him – Bella perched on an upturned crate across from Jasper, who had apparently abandoned his own crate to sprawl on the floor, back propped against the wall. A small lantern sat on another crate between them, a jug of rum balanced precariously on the edge and a second, empty jug on the floor at Bella’s feet. The laughter cut off when he entered the room, and they both stared up at him with mirroring expressions – mouths slightly open and wide eyes blinking slowly.
“What is going on here!”

Chapter 33 of Dear Maggie by Jenny0719
Summary: A heart leads Bella back to Forks… and to the brother of the woman who donated it.
“The shrink wants you to what?” Emmett asked, exchanging a look with Jasper. “I don’t think this is such a good idea.”
“Neither do I,” I admitted, “but he has a point. Edward doesn’t do anything without me.”
Jasper blew out a breath and reached up to mess with his hair. “No, he doesn’t. You’re good for him, but-”
“I might not always be around.”
Both of them gave me a pained look at that.
“Look, it’s fact. I don’t know how long this heart will last. I want to set a record and live longer than any other transplant patient before with just the one graft, but I don’t know how possible that is. None of us do. I need to make sure Edward will be okay if something… If I’m not…”
“We’ll do it,” Emmett said, his deep voice cracking. “God damn it, Liberty, if it gets you to stop talking about dying, we’ll do it.”

*Bpov*
Thankful the apartment was still quiet, I made my way to the kitchen and chose some of the pizza that Jasper had offered to me earlier. I quietly strummed my fingers on the counter, waiting for the microwave to stop. A noise startled me from behind, causing me to jump. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure heading toward me. Before my scream came out, a hand quickly covered my mouth.
“Shhhh,” a male voice whispered in my ear as his hand firmly gripped my hip. “You’ll wake the baby, Bella.”

“Wow, you actually pulled it off.”
Alice, Ang and I turned to glare at the boys who had just come into the dining room after we’d called them for Thanksgiving dinner. “Jasper and I were hopeful when we heard no burning or screaming but still, you never can be sure.”
“Oh be quiet, like you two could ever pull this off.”
Ben laughed as he sat down. “We’ll prove it to you next year.”
“We’ll hold you to that,” I leant down and kissed Livvy’s cheek. “Won’t we baby girl?”
She banged her fists on the highchair and I laughed as I sat beside her, before long all hell broke loose as we dished out the food.

Chapter 9 of Drawn to You by StupidLeeches
Summary: “Let Love In” series, story 2. Ness decides to go away to college before her best friend Jacob can imprint. But when Jacob finds out she’s leaving for Seattle he can no longer keep his secret. Finding out the truth is just the beginning.
Jacob takes a deep breath. As he inhales, he leans just a little closer to me. In the cramped space of his car, that slight move of his body has him hovering over me while my back is pressed against the car door. “What do you feel right now?”
My throat is dry so I use my hand still against his cheek to answer his question. “The door against my back, you almost touching me, but not quite.”
He gives me a flash of a grin, “That’s good, but let me tell you what your body is telling me. Your breath hitching means I surprised you, but you liked it. Your heart is racing because you’re anticipating what will happen next. Your eyes keep dropping down to my lips because you’re hoping I’ll kiss you.”
My stomach churns as I analyze reactions I hadn’t even noticed before. Assessing my body, I can’t argue with him; everything he just said is completely accurate.
Before I can tell him so, he leans back into his seat. “And now, what do you feel?”
“Like this little space between us is a huge gap the size of the Grand Canyon.” I’m starting to understand what he means. Yesterday, sitting this close to Jacob would have been a thrill to me. Now, it’s not enough. I want him back leaning over me, overwhelming my body with being so close. I don’t know how it’s possible, but it’s true.

Summary: She’s the swim instructor who teaches the Daddy and Baby Classes. Although he’s a forbidden man, her attraction to the new daddy, Edward, is instantaneous. Can Bella drown her libido and maintain her professionalism? B x E x H2O equals slippery when wet.
“Well, what am I drinking this time?” I ask, looking at the shot glass that is topped with whipped cream.
Kevin suddenly blushes and starts stuttering. “Um… it’s er… um… it’s… got Peach Schnapps, Irish Cream and pineapple juice in it.”
“Well what’s it called?” I ask.
“I’d rather not say it out loud.” He blushes even redder.
({‘}) Okay… weird.
Poor, young Kevin looks as though he wants to hide.
“Can you perhaps whisper it to me… or write it down?” I ask.
Kevin nods and quickly produces a notepad from his back pocket. He writes on the notepad and quickly shows me the word he’s written.
Cunnilingus.
Kevin runs away as though his ass is on fire.
I roll my eyes. First I got foreplay, then a dry hump and now this…
This cocktail flirter has got to stop.
I quickly take the shot and then grab some money out of my purse. Perusing the menu, I can’t see anything that conveys what I want to say to my misguided admirer, so I Google it.
I smile in victory when I find it.
Vodka, rum, tequila, gin, Blue Curacao liqueur, sweet and sour mix, and 7-Up.
A.M.F
Otherwise known as Adios Motherfucker.
({‘}) Perfect.
I signal Olga who is on her way back to the bar with an empty tray. I give her some money and instructions to have the barman make two A.M.Fs. Olga laughs.
Ten minutes later, Olga returns carrying a single drink in a highball glass. I give her the scary bitch-brow.
It seems my message was ignored.
I wonder what suggestively named drink I’ll get this time.
Sit on my face?
A blowjob?
A quick fuck?
Butt Sex?
“Don’t give me that look,” Olga pleads as she sets the glass down in front of me.
“Okay… let me have it. What it is this time?” I huff.

What a thrill it is to see my brother walk up onto the stage. I squeeze Bella and Jasper’s hands like a vice. He looks so uncomfortable with all the attention on him. But he deserves it. I jump up and down, scream his name and he winks at me. But his eyes are on Bella. He’s afraid that she won’t be his queen. Aw, but I know better. Mrs. Stern is quite a chatterbox.
Mr. Delgado announces Bella as Homecoming Queen and the place explodes with screams and applause. The overwhelming noise in the gym shatters my eardrums.
And then, from the corner of my eye, I see a small figure in a black hoodie walk in front of me. They raise their arm and I see the gun. I lunge for him, but the gun goes off, as I tackle him to the ground. Sean pulls me away and restrains the assassin, while Kevin leaps up on the stage, cell to his ear.
Everyone cries out, as Bell falls to the floor. I then, see Edward drop to his knees blood all around him.

Chapter 17 of His Cimmerian View by WeeKittyAndTAT

Working as a cleaner at the university five years later, she meets Professor Masen a man who believes all women are out to hurt, or destroy him. Can an uneducated Bella teach him something? What will happen when Bella is another woman who has hid the truth from him? OOC/AH/18&OVER
With Seth and Leah gone, I planned for us to just relax in front of the TV. I had a bunch of movies I wanted her to watch with me. We were going to eat a bunch of junk food, and just chill out and enjoy our alone time. Tomorrow, I plan to take her out for the night. At her age, most other girls have been drinking, dancing, and partying the night away. I want to take her out to experience the things she has never gotten to try. She has never had a drink, so I am taking her out for one. I know I will have to watch her, but fuck I look forward to that part. Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett have asked to come along for a little while. I’ve reluctantly agreed, because I know there’ll be no getting away from them.
Bella is right next to me on my sofa. We have been watching ‘Paranormal Activity’, and Bella has been slowly getting closer to me as the film goes on. “Ah!” Bella shrieks out, and I feel her grip my arm tightly as she hides her faces in my chest.
“Hush, Baby; it’s all just make-believe, but I will change the movie to something else.” I get up, turn it off, and put on ‘Just Go With It’. I sit back next to her, and pull her back close to me. As the movie plays, she slowly moves closer to me. Her head is on my chest like always when she falls asleep on me. I watch her as she turns and faces me in her sleep. I brush her hair from her face. “You are so fucking beautiful, Bella; you really are,” I whisper.
I stretch out, and move so that I can recline back on the sofa. With her in my arms, I lie back and pull the afghan across our bodies. As soon as I am lying on my back, it is like a magnet; she moves closer into my chest, one hand on my ribs, and the other on my chest by her face. Wrapping my left arm around her, I roll us slightly to the side, and almost groan as her right leg partially lies over my hip. Doing my best to not grind into her partially open legs, I talk myself down. I am so lucky to have this incredible and beautiful woman in my arms, I have to behave; I can’t fuck it up now. I smile as l look at her; she looks so peaceful asleep in my arms. I kiss her head before closing my eyes. I feel that I have finally found the place where I belong.

Each player was swaying their ass from side to side, laughing and giggling to each other in the line. Then they were whipping off their belts. My eyes quickly found Edward and his firm ass that I still wanted to smack. I could see him opening the button and zipper of his pants before there were being shimmied down his muscular thighs before he bent on the waist slightly. Oh God. The heaven of the sight before me. The hell was he was too far away for me to run my hands all over him. He kicked off his pants and was just in a pair of grey boxers and the bow tie. The noise in the room was deafening. The female screams would have put Justin Beiber fans at a concert to shame. And then I realised I was a screamer too. At the top of my lungs. It was infectious, I couldn’t help it. I was on my feet too. When the hell did that happen?! I wasn’t the only one either. The whole room was buzzing from energy.

Chapter 24 of Last Call by Robsmyyummy Cabanaboy
Summary: The past she’s struggling to remember is the time he’d rather forget… Can they move beyond the scars and forge a new beginning together or have they missed their Last Call? Edward & Bella. AH, Rated M for language & eventual lemons
I look up from my tirade and see more tears streaming down Bella’s face. God only knows if they’re tears of sorrow or of joy at this point.
I’m so tired of all this insanity. I just want to be happy. For things to go smoothly…no bumps in the road. I just want to be.
“Do you understand what I’m saying here, Bella? I’m in love with you. Too soon to say this? Probably. But I don’t fucking care anymore. You’re here, you’re back in my life and I’m not walking away from you again without a fucking fight. You need to know that I’ve never gotten over you. And I don’t ever want to have to…I just…”
I cross the floor in three quick steps and slam my lips against Bella’s.
She moans in response and wraps her arms around my neck. I pull back for just a minute to make sure we’re on the same page.
“Bella. This is it. You’re it. I’m here and I’m staying until you tell me to leave you alone. Got it?”
She nods her head rapidly and lunges her lips forward to collide with mine.

Chapter 25 of Little Buttons by ChocolateLover82
Summary: A fortunate encounter while wandering the city may lead Edward to realize that, perhaps, not everything is lost. But is he ready? AH, ExB.
It feels so good and familiar to be in his arms like this, almost like nothing has happened, so I let myself drown in that feeling for a few moments. There is so much to say and do but neither of us wants to acknowledge the talk that we need to have, we simply want to touch and feel each other and avoid reality for a little longer.
My tears slowly start to ebb and then I feel something cold nudging my right cheek. I giggle when I realize that it’s Edward’s cold nose, running over my skin. This feels so silly and at the same time, very much like us. I move my head until I’m facing him and through my wet lashes, see him staring back at me.
His breaths come out in a fog and his eyes are now fixed at my lips. I want him to kiss me.
Moving forward a little, I come closer to him and this time, unlike the first time we kissed, he knows what to do and goes for it first: his cold lips on mine, his hot mouth and his low grumble is all I can focus on. I don’t want anything else; I don’t need anything else.
Just like every time we kiss, I want more of this. I want years and years of his kissing and his touching and fights and make-ups.

Chapter 7 of Made For Each Other by twificgirl
Summary: Extending a family via adoption is never easy as Bella and Edward know but they are about to meet the little girl that has been deemed perfect for them. Little did they know there’d be more love to go around than they originally thought.
”That’s not true is it daddy. He didn’t make you marry mommy did he?”
”No Lizzie. I married mommy because I fell in love with her the first time I saw her and I didn’t want to let her go ever.” Emmett’s head dropped and he quickly moved out of the way of Rose’s hand which was heading towards the back of his head.
”Don’t listen to my dad Lizzie. He always jokes about silly stuff. He says he married mom because she tried to run him over when they first met and that’s not true.” Lizzie started to laugh and pulled herself closer to Bella. ”Uncle Edward married Aunt Bella cause they look at each other funny all the time. It’s weird. They look all lovey, it’s disgusting just like Nana and Pap.” He shivered and looked back at his cousin with a grin on his face.

Edward’s POV
“Baby!” I shout walking from the garage into the house. “Bell, I’m home!” I drop my gear in the laundry room before tossing the mail down on the counter and open the refrigerator. I start chugging orange juice from the carton immediately, grabbing at a fistful of grapes before I head upstairs. Just as I open the door the master suite, I call out for Bella again; her Escape is in the garage so I know she is home.
The bathroom door is closed, she still hasn’t responded, so I decide to knock. “Bella, Baby, are you in there?” I ask softly through the door. I hear whispers and shuffling, so I knock again. “Bell?”
Rose swings the door open, smiles, pats my arm then squeezes by. “Bella,” she says as she looks back over her shoulder, “I’ll talk to you tomorrow, or call me later if you need me.”
Bella smiles at Rose, a tear on her cheek. “Thanks Rose.”
“Baby, what’s wrong?” I question as I take her into my arms. “What’s with the tears?” She takes a few deep breaths and pulls herself tighter against me; I know she is trying to calm herself down. “Whatever it is Bell, let’s talk about it,” I say doing my best to reassure her.
She sniffs again and then looks up at me, her bottom lip quivers a little.
“Christ, Bell, you’re breaking my heart here. Tell me; just tell me what it is. What’s got you so worried?” I plead with her; I can’t stand seeing her like this. “Baby?” She nods her head at me, and I’m confused.
Chapter 20 of Perchance to Dream by NTJB
Summary: BellaSwan and Edward Cullen fall in love, deeply in love.But as theirlives spiral out of control, Bellabegins to realize that it might be too deep and questions whether it was love at all or something more dangerous…
“You don’t know what it was like. I loved Jasper. I’ve never loved anyone so much in my life, and he said that he loved me back. He said I was the only one, but I wasn’t.” Alice rolled her neck and turned a little so that I saw her profile. Her jaw was set tight. Her bottom lip quivered until she bit it.
“I found out the hard way that I wasn’t his type.”
“Okay?” I arched my eyebrow. This tragedy couldn’t be because of an unreciprocated crush.
“I saw him and…” She cleared her throat. “I saw him with someone he shouldn’t have been with. I caught him in the act.”
“Oh. I’m sorry, Alice. Was she someone you knew?”
She frowned, combing her fingers through her bangs. “I couldn’t handle it and kinda lost it. I didn’t have control of my feelings back then. I didn’t understand boys could be like that. I mean, I did but not the boys I knew. I was so sheltered.”
She turned to face me, pulling off her jacket. I hadn’t noticed before but she had on this necklace with a pendant that she slid across the silver chain from left to right. It was a silver circle bent in the middle.
“One day, I tried to prove to him that I wasn’t… sheltered, and it blew up in my face.” As the pendant moved so rapidly in her fingers, it looked like pure light.
“How?”
“I wanted to give him what I thought he’d like. Me, a thirteen year old, seduced a boy three years older.” She shook her head. “And he was kind. He said he loved me and in a couple of years, things might be different. He was just confused.”
“Confused? That was his answer for cheating on you? You were only thirteen, and he fucked another girl and you let him get away with it?” I wanted to spit on his grave for doing this to Alice.
“He didn’t.”
“What?”
“He wasn’t with a girl.”
“Oh God. Who was he with? A guy?”
Alice winced, her eyelids low and her shoulder slumped over. “When I walked in his living room that night, yes, he was with a guy. He was with Edward.”

Chapter 20 of Plight Thee My Troth by Gingerandgreen
Summary: England, 1795. Lord Edward Masen and Miss Isabella Swan promise to love one another for all time; but will the harsh realities of life allow two souls from very different backgrounds to fulfil their vows? EPOV, AH
Swan’s head is in his hands. All eyes are on him, with varying degrees of expectation and trepidation expressed within them. He moves suddenly to thump my table with his fist, and every woman in the room flinches.
Em, Jasper and I look at each other. We all reach for the girls we love, but I am not satisfied with hand-holding; I pull Isabella out of her chair and into my lap. She clutches my hand and leans into my embrace.
“I am no good at this.” Swan stands – for a moment I am concerned he will storm out again – and begins to pace around the room behind us.
I recognise his need to be active in the face of stress, so leave him be. If we are patient, he will begin.
His feet halt at the sideboard on his third pass. He pours himself a generous helping of whiskey, and downs it in one go. He refills his glass, before returning to his chair. To my great surprise, he picks up Wren’s hand and holds onto it tightly. She does not attempt to withdraw.
“All right. Look. William Black and I grew up together. At least, he was a few years older than I – still is, of course. But we were thrown together a great deal because of the amount of time Lord Black spent on the estate my father managed. William was meant to be under the supervision of a tutor, but the man was a gad-about.” He shakes his head, as though the weight of memory brings him pain.
I stroke Bella’s knuckles with my thumb. She shifts slightly on my lap, and her firm bottom presses into my thighs. I attempt to rein my arousal in – now is hardly the time.
Em pours Rose some wine, diluting it with water before placing the glass in the hand that is not clasped with his. She smiles gratefully at him as Swan continues.
“Anyway, we spent much of our youth getting into trouble, for which I always took the blame, because Black lived in mortal fear of his father.” He chuckles, rather bleakly I think. “I cannot tell you how many whippings I endured for the boy. But he paid me back. He always paid me back.”
“How? How did he pay you back?” Wren’s question is a whisper, but the room is so quiet we hear her quite clearly.

Chapter 8 of Puppy Love by sunflower333
Summary: Edward and Bella find them selves with Puppies and possibly love
Edwards beams and walks over to her.”Yeah and I was worried. Here I brought coffee. Well, I guess I brought you a half cup of coffee the rest is on the side walk outside.” Bella looks at him with curiosity. “Once we got within a block of your place Katie started going nuts.” he says, smiling and looking over at the two sleeping dogs.
Bella reaches for the coffee and brushes hands with Edward. Wow. I can’t believe I still react this way she thinks to herself. The hair on the back of her neck stands up and she blushes when they touch.
Bella takes and drink and moans, “Oohh that hit the spot! Thanks!” She closes her eyes and take another sip.
Holy shit, Edward thinks. How can one little moan make me hard? I’ve got make a move. Edward is lost in thought and does not hear Bella’s question as she makes her way back to the bar.

“So one day,” Bella had said, as they’d drifted through the darkened streets. “I was just randomly talking to this girl in the coffee shop, and she said ‘Why not move?’ She said, ‘Go get lost in some big city and just live.’ I had no idea where to go. It wasn’t like I’d done any real traveling as a kid. She suggested Chicago. So… here I am.”
“You?” he whispers under his breath. “You led her here to Chicago? Why? I don’t understand.”
Alice smiles an enigmatic smile before turning Bella loose. I’m here to thank you, Edward. And to repay you.
“Repay me? But who are you?”

Rated NC-17 for language, adult situations, and later, lemons . . . because this is fanfiction after all.
Edward sighs, one of his hands disappearing beneath the water and securing itself to my hip, his pinky twirling the tie that holds my bottoms together. “Me, too. If we didn’t live under the same roof, I’d be afraid you’d think I was avoiding you or flaking out on you after Tuesday night. It’s been torture not spending as much time together.” He leans in and kisses my neck. “Not being able to kiss you as much as I’d like . . .” His fingers curl into the soft flesh on my hip. “Not being able to touch you as much as I’d like . . .”

Chapter 2 of Stubborn Love by VampiresHavebeagles
Summary: She’ll lie and steal and cheat, and beg you from her knees. She’ll make you think she means it this time, tearing a hole in you. But I still love her. I don’t really care. A story from iambeagle and VampiresHaveLaws.
She has a bruise on the inside of her thigh, one I failed to notice before, new and a shade of purple that is only going to become darker. It’s not overly big, about the same size of a thumbprint, and as her hand slides to the pocket of her shorts to pull out her lighter, hips momentarily pushing up, I wonder if someone else has had their hands there, too.
My eyes snap to her face then, something akin to jealousy present in the pit of my stomach. It makes no sense, this feeling—she’s not mine—but the sensation doesn’t go away. In fact, it only continues to get worse, especially when she meets my gaze, a small smile gracing her mouth.
Her lips part with her words and my eyes linger on the wet, pink of her tongue. “I guess that makes me special then,” she announces, holding me in place with nothing but a look.

Chapter 3 of The Dark Lust by The Angel & The Muse
Summary: Another night, another strange and gruesome murder in Portland. Detective Cullen is determined to solve this baffling case, but at what cost? What he finds could make or break … him.
“What’s the word?” Edward asked the coroner, kneeling beside her.
Angela Weber was Portland’s number one coroner. It seemed silly to rank them, but it was true, and when this case became a serial investigation, they had to get the best. Angela had such a keen eye, and was more than thorough when examining the bodies. Unfortunately, even her attention to detail wasn’t enough to bag this son of a bitch.
With an aggravated sigh, Angela turned her head to Edward, noting the dark circles that framed his eyes from lack of sleep. Nodding, she spoke. “Yeah, it was him—and it was recent. The body couldn’t have been here less than an hour before he was found. And drained within that time—at least. His M.O. remains the same, though: several deep incisions to vital arteries, allowing him to bleed out until his heart stopped. And his neck has been broken as well, likely done post-mortem.”
Frustrated and confused, Edward looked around. “Then where’s the blood?”
Angela gaped at him, confused because she knew he was expecting there to be none. “Detective, you know that we’ve nev—”
Edward cut her off. “Exactly. We’ve never found even a trace of it. Why not? It’s not just because this is a secondary crime scene. The human body has what? Approximately ten pints of blood? Where is it, and how does one empty an entire body in less than an hour?”
Chapter 22 of The Night She Wore Black by TheManiacalMuse
Summary: Edward & Bella are a happily married couple with a great sex life, but they both crave something darker. When Bella pushes them over the edge into an intense new lifestyle, will they embrace their new roles? Or will they be torn apart? AU/AH/OOC/BDSM
I cleaned myself up a bit before I dashed out the door, and within minutes I was coasting down the highway toward Seattle. It killed me that I would be so close to Bella and not get to see her, but sadly, I just wasn’t ready to go home yet. I could only hope this meeting with Angela would help me get closer to getting my life back.
The drive went by fairly quickly, and before I knew it I was pulling the car to a stop in front of Ms. Weber’s large, three-storey Victorian house. Even though it was late winter, her home was still immaculately kept: the sidewalk was shovelled right down to the cement and the snow was swept from the porch, railings, and windowsills. The outside lights were on in what I assumed was expectation of my arrival, but all the curtains were pulled closed now that the sun was fading quickly.
Maybe it was because I was apprehensive about the meeting that awaited me inside, but I couldn’t help but feel like the place looked really cold. Uninviting. Or at worst, unwelcoming. I felt like it was staring me down, hoping I would turn tail and run away. Though again, it could have just been because of the not-so-warm reception I was surely about to get.
With a deep breath to steel my resolve, I got out of the car and walked briskly up the path to the front door. Sharp raps echoed around the quiet neighbourhood as I knocked, and then the door swung open to reveal a very unimpressed looking Ms. Weber. She wore a tight black turtleneck sweater, a knee-length, snug-fitting black leather skirt, her usual fishnet stockings, and a pair of black stiletto heels so high they put her eye to eye with my six-foot-one. This was not Angela.
Ok then … we were going to do this the hard way.
She glared at me fiercely through her black-framed glasses, and I glared right back. Two could play at this game, and unfortunately for Ms. Weber, her harsh demeanour didn’t intimidate me anymore. I knew exactly who she was now, and as I stood there refusing to back down from her stare, I came to realize what that meant.
I knew who I was now.

“Hey baby.”
She turned and looked at me. “Hey ba-” but then her words stopped as I watched her eyes move and drop to the hand that was holding the stick. “Why do you have that in your hand?”
“I found it on the bathroom floor and I didn’t know what it was… what is it?”
“It’s a pregnancy test and you are holding the part one would pee on.”
I dropped the test and ran to the bathroom to wash my hands. I was touching someone’s piss.
Gross!
“So, Bells, what does two lines mean?” I yelled to her.
There was a pause as she walked into the bathroom and wrapped her arms around me.
“It means someone is pregnant.”

Chapter 3 of Turning Page by vampgirl79
Summary: After her mother’s tragic death, Bella moves back to Forks. It’s there she reconnects with her father and forms a bond with the town’s recluse. Is she the one who can mend his broken heart? Or will he hurt her over his fear of falling in love again?
B & E AH, OOC Rated M for languages and some lemons
It’s been almost two years. The longest year and a half to be exact.
I should have moved on with my life by now and residing in a different city. Hell even a different state, or anywhere else. Instead here I am still living in the very home her and I shared. Though time has passed, I still feel her presence. I still hear her beautiful voice in my mind, her sweet laughter and still smell her signature floral perfume.
It’s as if she didn’t, didn’t…die.
Yet, her unworn clothes and her side of the bed that hasn’t been slept on, is evident proof that she remains gone.
Gone, forever.
And here I am, stuck.
Stuck living under this roof, stuck in this dreary, small town and still stuck in this life. Ever since her death I’ve become a lifeless, detached being. Because without her I have no life and no reason to live for. Nonetheless, I’m just simply buying my time, getting through the hours, days and months until I see her again. Even though she had betrayed me in the most deceitful, hurtful manner, I still love her. And still miss her so damn much.
There’s been a gaping hole deep in my heart since her death.
That will never be filled, never be repaired and never be whole.
For the past year and a half family and friends have tried, and failed to heal me. To help me see reason, to force me to wake up and start living again. I chuckle darkly under my breath as the memories surface in my mind. All of them have given the same advice, offered their sympathies and comfort. But I’ve rejected every one of them, because I don’t need them. I want to be alone, because I am. I’m the only one who exists in my bleak, empty world.
Population: one.

Chapter 56 of Words with Friends by Nolebucgrl
Summary: Bella Swan has a major crush on a major star, Edward Cullen. They have an obsession with the same game. Can they connect through Words with Friends and become more than that? Time will tell!
“Our names are out there,” Rose hissed. “Jessica fucking ratdick Stanley gave inside scoop to TMZ.” Shit. Well, it was to be expected, right? At least she’d kept her trap shut until my picture appeared.
Edward sighed. “They would have gotten them by tomorrow anyway.” That was true. Tonight Edward and I were going to be meeting with a reporter from Rolling Stone to discuss our relationship. I couldn’t really wrap my head around the fact that I, Bella Swan, was being interviewed in a national magazine. “Plus your name is already public record because of the arrest,” he pointed out.
“Yeah, but that bitch says she isn’t surprised I was arrested because I’ve always displayed violent tendencies. I’ll show her a fucking violent tendency!” She whirled around the room, swinging the iPad dangerously as she ranted.
“Shit, we’re just lucky she didn’t talk before this. She’s sent me a boatload of text messages,” I reminded them. I’d shut off my phone, not wanting to hear her rhapsodizing about Edward anymore.
“Yeah? Did she tell you she opened her fucking mouth about Tyler?” Tyler? Why? Why would she do that? Edward wrapped his arm around me.
“What did she say?” Alice demanded, glaring.
“Bella’s had a very tough senior year. She’d been dating Tyler Crowley practically since the first day of school freshman year,” Rose quoted, looking like she’d kill someone. The first day? That wasn’t true. “Bullshit. You got together with him toward the end of the year. Of course Jessica has to fucking embellish.” She cleared her throat. “Coming into this year, she found out that he’d been cheating on her for God knows how long and he knocked up his old girlfriend back home. He didn’t return to school and told Bella over the phone that it was over. She was crushed.”
Why? Why the fuck was it necessary to bring that up? Wasn’t it rather clear that I was over that asshole by now? Hell, I was over him before I met Edward. The whole world was going to know I got cheated on. That was just great.
Edward kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay, baby,” he reassured me.
“It’s not okay. It’s humiliating. Why did she have to tell them that?” I asked, not that he could answer.

Chapter 47 of Words with Strangers by Nolebucgrl
Summary: EPOV Companion Piece to Words with Friends. Movie star Edward Cullen is done with women and focused on his career. A stranger reaches out to him via Words with Friends. Will her words change his mind?
“Speaking of parents, have you talked to yours?” Bella asked, effectively changing the subject.
Rose grinned. “I called them last night to tell them I’d been arrested. Dad about shit a brick. He told me to come home, like he has any say in what I do? I told him that I was on vacation and he’d see me when I felt like being seen, or that he could look me up on TMZ if he missed me so much. He wasn’t amused.”
“I bet he wasn’t. What about your mom?” Bella wondered.
“She went on and on about damage to the family name so I told her not to worry about it, I’d be a Cullen soon enough and that’s the name I’d be damaging. They aren’t too thrilled about me being involved with a stuntman with a shady past.” She looked absolutely delighted by that fact. “Apparently the Chief of Staff’s son at their hospital has been earmarked for me. They think they can barter me into marriage and get a promotion out of the deal. Fuck that.” She shook her head. “Maybe Emmett and I should release a sex tape. That would scandalize the hell out of them.”
Somehow I didn’t think my brother would object to that idea. “I don’t think my parents would be overly thrilled by that one either.”
Rose sighed. “True. It’s a fun damn thought, though. The look on their faces! Maybe we could just make a private one that I could make them think had been released to the public.”
“Rose, nobody wants to see and or hear about your and Emmett’s sexcapades,” Alice told her.

Summary: Edward and Bella have a toxic relationship. A tragic accident tears them apart. Can they find a way through their pain to be the couple they are destined to become? Entry for the “A Love Like Fire” contest.
EPOV
Since Bella cooked those delicious enchiladas for dinner last night, as well as plan such a hot dessert, I decided to do something special just for her. I wanted to make her breakfast in bed. I wasn’t much of a cook. To be truthful, I was pretty much a disaster in the kitchen, unless it involved opening a can and using the microwave. Over the years, Mom loved to joke that I couldn’t even boil water without burning it.
I knew I could pour milk over cereal successfully, but I needed to do more for Bella than that. I picked up my phone and decided to man up and ask my mom to walk me through making scrambled eggs.
“Good morning, Edward,” Mom answered groggily. “You are up bright and very early this morning, Son. Is everything okay?”
“Morning, Mom. I’m an idiot and forgot that you are two hours earlier than me. Nevermind, it wasn’t that big a deal. I will call you back at a more normal hour.”
“Nonsense, Edward. There was obviously something on your mind. You’ve never called me this early before. Is everything okay?” Her voice was filled with concern.
“No worries, Mom. Everything is fine. It’s kind of silly,” I said quickly. “I wanted to make Bella breakfast in bed, and you know I don’t know my way around a kitchen to save my life. I thought maybe you could walk me through making something simple like scrambled eggs.” Mom chuckled.
“I would be delighted to help you. What’s the special occasion?”
