TD-Chapter 29

Edward

Less than two hours later, I was on my way back to the dealership with a new lease on life. I knew exactly what I needed to do and I was prepared to do it.

However, Isabella was nowhere in sight. Her bag was gone from her desk and I now realized that her car was not parked in its usual spot. I rushed to my dad's office. "Dad, where's Isabella?"

"Well, since she won the contest and a vacation, I think she would probably be at her house packing right now. All facts that you would know if you had stuck around and listened to my announcement this afternoon, might I add." His sigh and slight upturn of his mouth let me know that he was not really angry at me at all, he just wanted to give me a hard time. "I know you went to talk to your mom and I get that, but can you keep this shit to after hours? I have a business to run and it doesn't look good when the bosses son runs around and does what the hell ever he wants to do, whenever he wants to do it, okay?" He wore the same smirk as before so this let me know he wasn't anywhere near serious, he just had to say that shit to keep up appearances and all.

I rushed off to Isabella's apartment to try to catch her. I hoped that she wouldn't have a flight for a few hours. I hoped, begged, pleaded and prayed.

However, I arrived to a dark, quiet place. I sunk down onto the floor and felt the tears as they stung my eyes.

Alice showed up a little while later. Apparently, Isabella asked her to come by and water the plants while she was gone. "About time we saw your ass again, where the hell have you been?" I just shrugged. "Well you had better get your ass out there and find her, before she gets so mad that she won't forgive you!" Alice kicked at my feet.

I rushed off before I realized what I had done and immediately charged back to give Alice a kiss on her cheek. "Thanks, Ali, do you know where she went?" I begged.

"No, she said if you could find her then she would know that you really deserved the chance. So go, find her before it's too late." I rushed off again. If Isabella told Alice this kind of information, surely she had to want me to find her. My hope surged again within my body as I rushed away on adrenaline and prayers.

Edward

The following week was miserable. Isabella spoke to every single member of the staff except me. It was a long week, to say the least and I felt every single minute of every single day.

I sold plenty of cars but it didn't feel the same. The thrill was gone, the sense of victory was cold and lifeless.

I hated this stupid fucking contest and I hated myself, how could I have messed up such a potential good thing?

I had just realized that Isabella was extremely attractive and I wanted to spend more time with her. Yet here I was alone, depressed and ready to just quit.

I called the only person I could think of that would help me through this situation. "Hey, mom, can I come and talk with you?" I sounded like a five year old but I was too sad to care right now.

"Oh, sweetie, your dad told me, I've expected you to call, come on over." The smile was back to my face, well a much smaller smile but a smile none the less.

I sat and spilled my guts to my mom, all about our contest and my slip up. I shared how I came to the realization of how I felt and that I needed to verbalize things with Isabella. Mom agreed and sent me on my way, after a few hugs and reassurances from her that I would be fine.

Edward

I fucked up, plain and simple. See that was why I called Pretty, pretty. I know it made me sound like an asshole but it was to make sure things like this didn't happen. I didn't count on the fact that some asshat would tell the whole company what I called my girl. I would find out who spilled those beans and I would make them pay. In the meantime I had to stay the hell out of Isabella's way.

Because let me tell you, if looks could kill… and all that poetic bullshit. What she didn't know was that I truly felt terrible for the mistake. I didn't mean to call her that at all, I simply meant that she was extremely pretty, beautiful in fact.

"Dude, what the fuck just happened?" Emmett and Jasper rushed over as soon as the dust behind Isabella settled. I still stood leaned against the wall, with my hands stuck in the riot that was my hair.

"I have no idea, she brushed by me and before I knew it I called her Pretty. Well she apparently knew the significance of that name and blew her top. Someone was going to die for gossiping like a fucking old lady at bingo." My eyes wandered around the floor, funny thing was that they did not meet with any other set of eyes out there. It wouldn't be easy but I would find out.

Dad made his way over to us and before his feet even stopped their movement, his mouth started to talk. "Edward, I suggest you keep the personal issues off the floor and deal with them on your own time, we clear?"

"Yes, sir." I bowed my head, I never meant for any aspect of my life to spill over here at work much less my love life. I couldn't let this affect me, I had to win now, if for nothing else but to show them that they couldn't rattle my cage.

Edward licked his lips and finally replied to me. "Sure thing, Pretty…I mean Isabella." The desire left my body. I was doused with ice water and fire licked through my veins. How in the fuck could he call me by that name? His plaything's pet name no less? I wanted revenge in the form of his head on a platter that would suffice fairly nicely.

I threw his hands off of my hips and shoved his body back into the wall behind us. The desire was clearly gone from his eyes as well. He knew he had fucked up in a major way. Remorse showed on his face but it was too late for that.

"Oh no, don't you dare. You don't get to call me by your plaything's name and then act all sorry. I'm a lady and I won't fall for your silly moves and then be fucked and chucked, mister. You get your ass out on the showroom floor and sell some motherfucking cars because I want to beat your skanky ass fair and square, you got it?" My voice was probably raised a little too high for the showroom floor but I didn't give a flying fuck at this moment.

When I spun on my heel and made my way to the ladies room, I noticed that all activity had stopped. This allowed everyone with the confines of the dealership walls to hear what was said. It only gave me more of an excuse to want to bury Edward Fucking Cullen in this contest. I was Isabella Swan, he would never forget my name when I was done with him.

Later that afternoon I saw my opportunity to take a stab at Edward. He stood at the board, his lean arms stretched out as he marked down his latest sale. This left his body elongated and open to the slight brush from mine. I wanted to work the horny angle. I mean he was a man who was without his woman for the moment and I was a woman with a pretty fine body if I do say so myself. So I worked it.

"Excuse me, Edward." I brushed past him ever so slightly but it was enough. In fact, I felt his pants tighten and his enlarged problem, right away. I wanted to do a little victory dance, celebrate and savor the moment. The only problem was that I had managed to arouse myself as well as Edward with my little brush with desire there.

My heart rate picked up, my skin flushed, my breath became stuttered and most certainly my panties became damp. In short, I was a mess. And just from a little brush across his body. How did my plan go so haywire? How did it backfire so terribly?

I glanced back up at Edward over my left shoulder and realized that he was beautiful. I mean in the other worldly sense of beautiful. His face was flawless and so expressive. His eyes bore into mine and we both refused to look away. Edward's hand found my hips and my only thought was how perfect he fit there. Like my body was made for him or vice versa. The tension was thick enough to require a knife to slice through it. A long, sharp, serrated knife.

After our brief exchange, my only source of comfort was that Edward was clearly as disturbed by my brush with desire as I was. At least if the desire that I now felt had to knock me off of my game then I took comfort in the fact that he was just as off his as well. Maybe we would both cancel each other out.

TD-Chapter 24

Bella

I saw Edward's face as I walked in with my latest conquest, I mean customer. I wanted to gloat about my sale but he looked pale, sick even. So, I took pity on him and I left it alone. I knew how shitty it felt to have someone bury your face into their win when you felt like hell. I was the bigger man…er…woman and left him alone to his misery. Maybe it was a twenty four hour bug we were doomed to pass around. I had been there and done that, so I stayed as far away from Edward as possible, because I did not want that bug back ever again.

Later in the afternoon Carlisle called another meeting, this one was in the conference room, again. I was excited, I hoped that he would announce that all of our hard work paid off and the dealership had been given the award. No such luck. His announcement was a little bit different than I had hoped.

"Okay, people, settle down. I know we have all had a hard few weeks, some of us more than others." He leveled his glance down at Edward and for a brief second I wondered what in the hell Carlisle meant. Before I could ask Tyler leaned over closer and whispered to me.

"Word on the street is that it won't be easy to beat Cullen, seems his girl toy has left him alone until he wins this competition, looks like he has some extra motivation." He sat back smugly in his seat. I nodded my acknowledgment at his statement. See Tyler saw it as encouragement, I saw it as he would be off his game. He would be lonely, sad and most of all horny, so that would put me at an advantage here. I smiled smugly at him and winked.

I tuned back into Carlisle when Edward turned back to his father as well. "Seems we have a tighter race and it may call for a little extra encouragement to reach our goal. So…I'm offering two weeks all expenses paid vacation to the winner. I will pay air fare, hotel and throw in traveling money for the winner and a guest. I suggest you get your asses out there and sell me some cars! I want this people, go make it happen!" I could see the desire in his eyes and I wanted to make it happen for him.

TD-Chapter 23

Edward

Several sales and even more hours later, I was starved. I made my way out to the reception desk, I wanted a partner in my eating frenzy. Alice being the pregnant one, I sought out her help in this endeavor.

"Hey, Ali, what ya feel like for lunch, I'm starved." I asked.

"I ate with Bella a little while earlier, but if you feel like some Pork Fried Potstickers, then I'm your girl." I smiled, I knew she was always game for more food, at least for the next few months.

"Sound wonderful to me, would you call in our usual and let me know when it arrives. I have some more paperwork to do, okay?" I dropped more than enough money on her counter as she click her headset and began to dial Mr. Wong's to place our orders.

Less than twenty minutes later, Alice buzzed me in my office to let me know that the food had arrived. I closed up the folder that I worked on and placed it in my drawer. There really was no need because every single employee could be trusted here at Port Angeles Audi but I didn't need for anyone to get the idea that now was a good time to play a prank. A misplaced file would keep me busy for a few hours and that was all they needed around here to pass me in the sales numbers.

Alice and Rose were huddled around the main desk as I approached them. I heard Rose whisper to Alice, 'Do you really think she's pregnant?' as Alice began to nod at Rose. 'How, I mean her test was negative, I saw it with my own eyes. How often are those things wrong?' My ears perked up, normally this wasn't a topic that interested me but let's be honest there were only three female employees and two of them stood in front of me talking. So it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who they spoke about.

I froze. Had I lost my chance with Isabella? I took several steps backwards and bumped into the large card board cut out on the show room floor. It crashed to the ground and alerted Alice and Rosalie to my presence.

"Hey, Edward, here's your lunch." I stood frozen. Stock still, I couldn't move if my life depended on it. At that exact moment, Isabella walked through the door. Her hair flowed around her shoulders and her face was slightly flushed. She was breathtakingly beautiful, and I knew that I had lost my heart to her, the contest be damned, she was the only thing I wanted to win.

TD-Chapter 22

Bella

I marched into the dealership and made my way to my office. I had paperwork to prepare and files to get ready. Today was the day, I could feel it. Edward and I had been locked in a battle of wills for almost three days. No matter how hard I tried, he seemed to come back and get fairly close to my sales numbers. In fact yesterday he beat me, I chalked it up to not feeling well.

Rose and Alice both chalked it up to me being pregnant, a test in the ladies restroom quickly staunched that theory though. Alice was sad, she wanted a partner in the baby producing line. Rose was sad because if I wasn't that partner, that meant that Alice would soon turn to her and try to talk her into being the partner. Did I mention how hard it was to say no to Alice? Yeah well, Rose couldn't do it either. Therefore, soon Rose would be knocked up and Alice would be happy.

Today I would take back my victory and not let it go ever again! Today was my day; that was until I saw Edward was already at his desk. His cheeks were slightly flushed, which I now knew meant he had already worked out for the day. I recently overheard him tell Jasper that his morning workouts were what would make or break his day. I suddenly felt nervous; I had to be on my game. I couldn't let him win for a second day in a row, I just couldn't.

I flaunted myself right past his door and bent over to pick up my suddenly slippery car keys. I gave him a large glance at the gap in my blouse and then moved on as suddenly as I came. Take that Mr. Edward Cullen.

"I take it you found your gifts?" Pretty asked.

"Yes, baby, I did. What exactly did you have in mind?" I returned.

"Well…when you win, I thought that we would take that large bonus, go away for a week and all I planned to wear were the items in your hand, how does that sound?"

It sounded wonderful to me, in fact, so wonderful that I had already taken my cock into my hand and began to stroke it to the mere fantasy of how Pretty would look in this outfit as I pounded into her from behind.

"I can't wait baby, I know how perfect you will feel. As you push so deep inside of me, you always fill me completely. I love it when you fuck my pussy so hard that I lose my breath. Can you do that for me? Can you fuck me until I forget my name?" Each word pushed me closer, each breathy moan between each sentence turned up the desire a notch. All of it worked me towards my goal, an explosive orgasm.

At the last second, as I felt my balls tighten, and my dick twitch, I pictured Isabella's face as she fumed at me today. With her hair loose all around her shoulders, bouncy and curly. She wore that tight black pencil skirt with the blue silk blouse that showed off her sexy collar bones and her perfect tits.

Her image alone caused me to blow my load all over my chest and abdomen. I shook and almost blacked out from the force of the orgasm. I felt so embarrassed, here I had Pretty on the phone with me as she promised me all the explicit acts that she would perform and I had pictured Isabella's face in order to bring myself to orgasm.

Pretty still prattled on with her dirty talk for me, I guess my orgasm was fairly silent as she still thought I needed her words to help me along.

"Oh God, baby, that was amazing." I felt terrible for the lie I told to her but it was the only option. There was no way in hell that I could tell her the truth, she would never understand. To be honest, I didn't understand either, so how in the world could I have explained it well enough to her so that she would. God, now I had myself confused. I had to get off of the phone and now.

"Pretty, I've got to go and clean myself up, can I call you in the morning?"

"Sure thing, sweet dreams."

"Same to you, Pretty."

TD-Chapter 20

Edward

I called My Pretty on the way home; at least she could help me out here since she won't come over. She answered on the first ring. "Hello, sexy." Her voice immediately took my body to places that I was not ready to go just yet. I wasn't even in my house yet, I still sat in my car. This was not the place I wanted this to happen.

"Pretty, are you sure that you can't come over tonight? What if I said I needed you?"My voice pleaded along with certain other parts of my body that came to life with her simple greeting.

"Aw, does my baby need me? I can't come over now but I can help you out. You want that, baby?" Her husky voice spurred on my desire for her all the more.

"Abso-fucking-lutely." She snickered at my over enthusiastic voice.

"Where are you, baby?" She purred.

"I'm sitting in the car in my garage." I answered honestly.

"Take yourself inside and up to your closet. I left you a present there inside." I rushed up the stairs, I couldn't help but take two at a time. Her last gift blew my mind and I couldn't wait to see this one. "Tell me when you get there." I nodded at her command but then realized that she couldn't see my actions, so I spoke up again.

"I'm there." I was slightly short of breath, which made my voice drop down in tone. I sounded rough and scratchy, like I had stayed up way too late drinking expensive whiskey and smoking illegal cigars. Apparently Pretty loved the sound because she moaned as I spoke.

"Sit down on the floor and open the box wrapped in silver paper with the blue bow," she instructed. I dropped to my ass and tore into that paper like a kid on Christmas morning.

When the box was completely absent of its pretty cover, I open it and pulled out a black leather corset with attached garters, a pair of leather knee high boots and a long, purple vibrator. I could only express my happiness in a moan; words seemed to fail me at the moment.
