“Edward, can you zip me up?” I asked, holding my dress to my body.

“I’d rather unzip you,” he snickered, pulling the zipper up the rest of the way. “Showering with you has me salivating for you, bellisima.”

“Seeing you without clothing is as equally tempting, but I’m partial to the cuddling at night,” I smiled, turning around and kissing him sweetly. “And naked cuddling is even better!”

“I love touching your skin. It’s so smooth and soft,” Edward purred, his fingers trailing down my arms. “Do we have to go? I’d rather spend the night with you.”

“Hmmmm, tempting,” I said, shuddering as his palms moved from my arms down to my waist. He held me close to his body, smiling carnally. What I wouldn’t give to just lose myself in him. It truly tempting. “Unfortunately, Jacob and Seth are expecting us.” He dipped his head, brushing his lips with mine. A sharp bang on our closed door broke us apart.

“Stop fucking each other,” Rose snickered from behind the door. “We’ve got to go. I have to find me some hot man-meat.”

I grumbled, extricating myself from Edward’s embrace. I wrenched open the door, scowling at my best friend. “We were having a moment, Rosalie.”

“You’re fully dressed. How can you be having a moment?” she teased.

The skeleton of their wedding ceremony was set up. From what we could see, it was going to be a beautiful service. The flowers were not set up, but I knew the décor was going to be simple and elegant. Jacob may lead a flamboyant life, but his taste was exquisite. I used Jacob to help decorate my penthouse suite after I moved out of the house that I shared with Riley.

“This is different from the last wedding I went to,” Edward said, looking around the winery.

“When was that?” Rose asked.

“I was thirteen and it was at the local VFW,” Edward answered, his cheeks turning pink. “There was a buffet and everyone was wearing jeans except the bride and groom, close friends of my dad’s boss.”

“I’d rather that than being a gussied up,” Rose snickered, looping her arm through Edward’s. “My mom and dad got married in their bathing suits on a beach in Hawaii. I was baking in her belly. When I get married, that’s what I want, too. Not a huge, ostentatious affair with a huge, over-the-top dress.” Rose shot me a look, giving me a sly little grin.

“Shut. Up. Rose,” I snapped. “It was all for show. My dad insisted!”

I woke up early the next morning. I finished packing for our extended weekend for Jacob and Seth’s wedding. My choices were a combination of sexy and sweet. I spent a lot of money at La Perla to enhance my lingerie wardrobe. Edward and I had been keeping our physical aspect of our relationship relatively PG-13, but he had alluded to wanting to explore more while we were away in California.

My cell phone chirped as I was putting my shoes into my luggage. Esme had sent me an email, telling me that Edward was on his way and to remind me of her rules while Edward was out of Seattle. My response was terse, saying that I wasn’t on her payroll. What Edward and I do during my time is our business. Also, the time constraints she put on our return was complete crap.

What if we get delayed? Ever hear of fog?

She needed to back off. Yes, she was Edward’s ‘boss,’ but she was a control freak.

Fucking bitch.
