"All Nighters" by CaraNo

Posted by Anonymous

When thirty-eight-year old Edward Cullen is asked by his business partner Charlie Swan whether he is still looking for a new assistant, he has no idea how much his life would change in the following few weeks. Happy to finally have some help again, Edward happily accepts Charlie's suggestion to employ his daughter Bella. She has just graduated from college (at the age of twenty-one, mind you) and as she wants to one day open her own graphic design company, she sees this as a great opportunity to get a whiff of what it means and takes to run your own business. Unfortunately, neither Bella nor Edward thought about what working together would actually entail. Because when Bella walks into her new boss' office, both of them have difficulties breathing. The last time they saw each other, Bella was sweet seventeen and still a girl. Now, however, she is a gorgeous and enticing woman, who smells too good for words. Needless to say, Edward has the same effect on Bella and the two know they are in deep trouble...

But if them working together and an age difference of seventeen years isn't enough to make their situation utterly complicated, the fact that Bella also has a rather unusual and slightly naughty little side-job definitely is. She loves dancing and works at Girlesque, a night club in New York. And though she doesn't strip, she is putting on some seriously hot, burlesque-like show for her visitors. One day, the latter happens to be Edward, who begrudgingly stops by the club after his cousin Emmett begged him to do so. Because ever Edward's divorce from Kate has been finalized, he buries himself in work, shying away from any kind of fun or pleasure. That chances, however, when Edward sees Bella and her sexy performance. Both of them cannot deny their desires for the other any more and have amazing sex in his office. Unfortunately, Edward is tormented by the age difference and the fact that his good friend Charlie might not be happy about what he does with his daughter, and so he distances himself from Bella. Thankfully for Bella, they have to go on long business trips together during which she decides to confront her boss and confess her feelings to him. Will Edward be able to get over Kate and everything she's done to him and finally give in to what he really wants? And what will happen once Charlie finds our about their relationship?

Compared to many of her other fics that the hugely talented CaraNo has written for the Twilight fandom, this little story is rather outside the norm, yet still absolutely amazing. First and foremost, All Nighters includes as good as no angst. Though the story does have its dramatic moments, the general tone is fluffly and sweet - no darkness whatsoever. Bella knows exactly what she wants - Edward - and she is willing to do everything in her power to get him. She is incredibly smart and confident with herself while Edward is like a glorious lion trapped in a cage. He really wants out and devour her and the future they could have, but he doesn't know how. Moreover, you only have the canon couples in this story, no funny combinations: Edward is with Bella, Charlie with Renee, and Emmett kind of hooks up with Rose. In addition, you will find some immensely funny passages in All Nighters, especially once Charlie finds out about his daughter's new boyfriend. It's hilarious and so well-written! This wonderful story by CaraNo is presented from both characters' POV and a really quick read. The plot is so interesting that you probably won't need more than two sittings to be through. Happy reading!

All Nighters consists of 3 chapters and a total of 40,006 words. The story is rated M for lemons and foul language.
