Chapter Sixteen - Those Three Words (Teaser #2)

“I have… plans for us tonight, and since we forgot to pack a certain bottle…”

“Oooooh. I see.” Forcing myself to push through the nausea, I slid my leg over both of his and straddled his lap, focusing my gaze on his. “And what makes you think I’ll be letting your plans become reality?”

He smiled slowly, then slipped both his hands below my skirt and cupped my ass, pulling me closer. I settled down against him, wrapping my arms around his neck, then sighed softly as he moved his lips to my ear and whispered, “I need to buy a disposable cell phone for you to use when you call them.”

I smirked, trying to stay in character, then rolled my hips against his and leaned back as he started kissing my neck. “Okay, then. And, uh… when, exactly, are you going to carry out your… plans?”

He grinned. “That depends. Once we get up to our room, how long do you think it’ll take you to get rid of these?” He gestured to my clothes.

“Hmmm…” I leaned in until my lips were beside his ear and whispered, “Twenty-five seconds.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I told him, moving back to put some space between us and smiling. “Nothing’s wrong. I was just… I was just thinking.”

“About?” he prompted, turning round to face me fully now.

“Nothing,” I lied. “I was thinking about nothing.”

“Why don’t I believe you?” His brows furrowed briefly, but then understanding seemed to dawn on him. “Is this about… Yesterday, did I…”

“I don’t…”

“It’s not that I… Bella, what I said yesterday, about us not planning on having children? That wasn’t-”

“It’s fine,” I cut across, shrugging. “Seriously. You don’t have to explain.”

“I do,” he countered, then moved closer and took my hands in his. “I do, because I upset you and hurt you and I was…” He shook his head in frustration. “I was an ass, okay, Bella? I wasn’t thinking straight, and I spoke without considering the effects it would have on you.”

“Edward…” I squeezed his hands and tried to pull him towards me, but he wouldn’t allow me to.

“It’s not that I don’t want to have kids. I just… Now isn’t the right time for that.” He looked straight into my eyes. “One day… Maybe. But not right now. Not when so much is at stake and our lives are not our own.”

Chapter Fifteen - Brick By Boring Brick (Teaser #2)

"Fuck…” he breathed once he was as deeply inside me as possible, burying his face in my neck. I wrapped my arms around him tightly, hugging him to me, then whimpered in protest as he started to pull his hips back.

“Sorry,” he said softly, stilling immediately.

“I’m not hurt,” I murmured quickly. “I just… Stay still for a sec?”

He raised his head and gazed into my eyes for a few moments, smiling slightly. “Okay, baby.”

Sighing softly, he pressed his forehead against mine, and I had to close my eyes as I let myself absorb all the emotions and sensations of the moment.

I loved feeling him like this. There was nothing that compared to it, nothing that felt as good, and I hated knowing that we couldn’t stay this way for longer. It was never enough.

"Bella?” I slowly opened my eyes again, and once he was sure my gaze was on his, he slowly began to move his hips, first with shallow thrusts, then ones that were much deeper. I tried to keep my eyes open as long as possible, wanting to keep that connection, but then he kissed me and I couldn’t help but close them.

This moment belonged to us, and I wanted to shut everything else out, even though it would only be for a few precious seconds.

Chapter Fifteen - Brick By Boring Brick (Teaser)

“Aunt Bellaaaaa… Come on! You’re too slow!” I let him pull me towards the stairs, and then we’re climbing.

Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat…

“Jake, what’s the rush?”

And if that billy goat won’t pull…

“The baby’s crying!”

Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart…

We walk down the hallway, towards a door with light all around it.

And if that horse and cart fall down…

“Bella?”

You’ll still be the sweetest little boy in town…

I push open the door and walk into the room, and there’s Edward, holding a little bundle in his arms.

So hush, little baby, don’t you cry…

He smiles at me as he turns, and I walk towards him to take the bundle from his arms, smiling as the bundle makes a soft cooing sound.

’Cause your daddy loves you and so do I...

Team Camisado: FGB Outtake One (Teaser)

Well, as I'm sure you all know, the Fandom Gives Back: Eclipse auctions have now finished and fundraising is technically over. Team Camisado won my auction and have raised over $335 so far and we're still accepting pledges and donations.

I ran a ballot straight after Team Camisado won the auction, and the members who replied decided the three outtakes they most wanted were Edward's first impressions of Bella (Chapter 1), Edward and Bella's first time (Chapter 7), and Edward's nightmare/Their second time (Chapter 11). I've finished the first of these outtakes and decided that, although I'm not planning on posting the outtakes for the public to see, I'm going to post a teaser anyway.

“I don’t want a drink,” she murmured, gazing up into my eyes. Huh? She doesn’t? What the- Oh. Right.

I smiled, finally understanding what she meant, then put the bottle down on the table and stepped forwards. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer, biting back a groan when I felt her against me again.

“Oh, really?” I teased, then slowly started pushing her backwards, heading for the wall. Please don’t slap me. Please don’t slap me.

She smirked at me and ran her hands up my arms, then lifted herself up and told me, “The only thing I want right now is you.”

I about fucking died. This shit may have been fake, but fuck… She was playing with fire here.

“Is that so?” I finally managed to whisper, and took a chance by sliding my hand down to her ass and squeezing.

She fucking grinned at me.

“I’ve missed you, Edward…” She kissed my neck, and if I didn’t know better, I’d say she was grinding her hips into mine. “So much.”

Chapter Fourteen - Give in to the Call (Teaser #2)

“Out the way, Isabella,” Felix growled, pushing me to the side as he and Demetri rushed forwards and grabbed Edward by the arms, pulling him off my attacker, who coughed violently and brought both his hands up to his neck. Demetri punched Edward in the stomach, making him double over in pain, and I ran towards the three of them, tears running down my cheeks.

“Stop!” I pleaded, but they still kept punching him anyway. “Please, stop!”

“Bella,” Edward groaned. “Get the fuck out of here.”

“No!” I was right in front of them now, and glared at Felix and Demetri before telling them, “Edward was trying to help me. He did nothing wrong.”

“He attacked one of his brothers,” Demetri growled angrily.

“With good cause!”
