Fire of Your Soul

Chapter Ten

Thank you, again, for sticking with us and for leaving a review, if you did. We appreciate you sharing our love of Twilight. Unfortunately, this is not ours. We just like to play with the characters created by Stephenie Meyer.

Up next will be a continuation of the previous chapter, discussing the mysterious fire and then the benefit.

Chapter Ten

"Is everything okay?" Bella asked.

"There was a mysterious fire and they need us to investigate to see if it was arson," Edward muttered. "My boss is calling me in, so I have to go. I'd much rather be here, dealing with the fire burning between the two of us."

"You're not the only one," Bella moaned.

"This," he said, pulling her back into his lap and kissing her deeply, "is not over. To be continued, Bella."

"I'm aching," Bella smirked. "And so wet, Edward."

"I'm hard as a rock, Bella. I want nothing more than to ..." he trailed off, pressing his forehead to hers. "The benefit ... you'll be mine."

"Is that a promise?" she asked.

"It's a fucking vow," he said, kissing her once again. "I'm going to go before I fuck you out here on the patio."

"I wouldn't complain," Bella giggled.

"I would. I fully intend on taking my time with you, Bella. You deserve more than just a frenzied fuck," he breathed, standing up while holding her. His hands rested on her ass as he gathered himself. "You deserve it all. Think of me while you deal with your ache."

"Be safe, Edward," she murmured. "And I will definitely think of you while I take things into my own hands."

He kissed her once more, stepping back. He made his way to the patio door and just as he put his hand onto it, Bella cleared her throat. "Edward, I want to be yours and I want to take my time, but there is nothing wrong with a frenzied fuck," she purred.

"I'll remember that, beautiful," he smirked.

Edward hated to leave Bella. He wanted nothing more than to go back and be with her. He was about to pull a U-turn when his phone rang again. Pursing his lips, he saw Charlie's number. "Cullen," Edward barked.

"Are you on your way?" Charlie asked.

"Rose just called me," Edward replied. "I was out, but I need to swing by my parents to change. I'll be at the fire station in a little bit."

"Rose is on her way here," Charlie said brusquely.

"Where's the fire?" Edward asked.

"Rudy's Barber Shop in Capitol Hill," Charlie answered. "Do you know where it's located?"

"Affirmative. I'll meet you there, Chief," Edward replied.

"Do you have your kit?"

"In the back of my truck. See you in a bit," Edward said.

Charlie grunted his goodbye.

Edward drove away from Bella's condo toward Rudy's Barber Shop off Pine Street. When he arrived, he had to show his badge to be granted entrance into the neighborhood. He parked his Bronco next to Charlie's department SUV. He opened the rear of his truck. He quickly changed into some work boots and swiped an SFD jacket before slinging his bag over his shoulder. He nodded at some of the guys who were cleaning up the scene.
