Firefighters are held in the utmost esteem in our society; our modern-day heroes ready to put their lives on the line to protect any living thing in harm’s way. Lieutenant Edward Cullen is one of these men - the eldest son in a family of firefighters, along with his two younger brothers and his father who is the Fire Chief. At a glance, this family is the epitome of pillars of the community, but as we get a closer look behind the scenes, we find a highly dysfunctional group of members instead. Edward has always been the hard-working, responsible one and everyone in the family automatically has the highest expectations of him; they look to him to solve all their problems or pick up their slack and put way too much pressure on him. Carlisle expects him to run the station in his absence, pick up extra shifts and lays the heavy responsibility of watching out for the safety of his irresponsible brothers on his shift. The brothers turn to Edward for financial help when they haven’t managed their money or gambled it away and Edward bails them out. Yet, they never express gratitude or offer to pay him back. Not one of them put his needs before their own. That is, until the night he ran into a complete structure fire against orders to search for and rescue one young lady named Bella, who was reported missing according to her friends. 

Struggling against the flames and collapsing building, he finally locates her, unconscious from smoke inhalation, gives her his oxygen mask and jacket and almost makes it back to the entrance when he feels the floor begin to give way under him. In a last ditch effort to save her, he throws her towards the door yelling, “Grab her!” as he plummets into the basement's darkness and the building collapses on him. When Bella regains consciousness in the hospital, the events of her accident replay back in her mind and she immediately wants to go see the firefighter that risked his life for her, especially since Edward remains unconscious in the ICU. Someone needs to be there for him to help shoulder the weight of the pain he suffers from constantly, the hardships of adjusting to being dependent and needing physical therapy, the fear of the possibility of being permanently disabled, and that person would be her because in her mind she owed him a debt of gratitude. His bravery had given her the chance to live out her life and find happiness, and with any luck, she would be able to give him the same chance. 

TtF comes with heart fail and multiple tissue warnings, yet a wonderfully developed and mind-blowing plot. SparklingTwilight superbly depicts how the selfless but near-fatal act of one brave firefighter choosing someone else's life over his own, brings one troubled family to their knees; but how that event is a catalyst for changes and healing for both Edward and his family members. The author takes you on an intense journey of a man who had achieving his goals within reach, but because of who he is and a split second decision, he agonizingly almost lost it all. Will he ever be able to walk again after his back injury? Will he ever think beyond his own pain and difficulties to see the sacrifices Bella makes; how she is always there to meet his every need, calm his fears and offer words of encouragement? TtF is indeed a slow agonizing burn, but so worth it in the end. Don't miss out on this compelling story, but maybe have a box of tissues handy! 

Through the Flames has 41 chapters with 200,140 words. The story is rated M for themes, language and sexual situations.

Edward Cullen is a famous actor with a British accent that has been getting some trouble from his current housekeeper, Jane. Before it got any worse than it already was, Edward decides to fire the poor excuse for a maid that Jane is and turns to his PA and confidant, Emmett for help. Fate plays out really well when the very same minute, Emmett gets a call from her elder sister that things are going down on her end; Bella had been betrayed and heartbroken by her ex-husband and wanted nothing more than a fresh start to her life. So Emmett doesn't hesitate to call her over to Edward's place to work for him as his housekeeper and cook. It isn't long before Edward and Bella form the best of friendship and understand each other more than anyone else. She cooks his favorite cupcakes and sandwiches with extra pickles, and he in turn allows her to be comfortable at his - no, their - house with her crazy blaring music and off-tune singing. Will either of them be able to realize that what they have between them is nothing but love? Will Bella be able to move on from her past into Edward life which is full of paps, or is his life too nonadjustable?

My Heart, My Home is a light and fun read that everyone should give a try. Edward's Eternal creates Edward Cullen very similar to who we know as the existing Robert Pattinson today - with his hot British accent and his ability to remain humble at all times. Edward, in this story, is that and so much more with his crazy tendencies to devour food and love Bella like no other. You will fall in love with his sweet self and beg Bella to drop everything and love the man back - because that is definitely what we all would do ;-). Although a story that has plenty of humor, it has a great plot-line which makes it even more fascinating to read. Edward's Eternal has written many great stories, and this one is also definitely on the list of amazing-ness. She is able to create a very lovely persona for both of our characters, and at the same time combine the realism that is involved in an actor's life. The fact that Bella might feel slightly uncomfortable about starting her life with Edward as his girlfriend, is totally understandable if you consider the amount of paps that will surround their hot story. But, in the end, this story is a HEA and definitely one that should not be missed! Go give it a try!

My Heart, My Home consists of 26 chapters and a total of 86,338 words. The story is rated M for language and some sexual content.

Bella Swan has just moved to Seattle from her hometown Phoenix and hopes to make the best of her new job at Cullen Industries. Though the job is clearly below her qualifications, Bella is grateful to have gotten it anyway, given her lack of experience. Sorting through the mail at Cullen Industries might not be the best thing she's ever done, but it pays for the rent. Also, she is happy to get to know the lovely ladies in the department, make new friendships, and learn about the latest office gossip. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't take long until she finds herself in the middle of a conversation about bronze-haired billionaire Edward Cullen - the boss of Cullen Industries and apparently an incredibly handsome young man with amazing looks and a hot body. Bella isn't sure whether any man deserves to be described as 'dreamy' and 'sexy' (Can a man really be so attractive?) but when she finally comes face to face with Edward at the parking garage, she changes her opinion...

Edward Cullen is a peculiar young man. At the age of twenty-eight, he is not only rich, but has accomplished much more than most other people have, with regards to both business and personal pleasure. Because with the success and money comes a certain type of power, and with power come certain desires - ones that not many people would openly talk about. Edward likes to indulge in a BDSM dom/sub relationship as often as he can and is always looking for willing partners. However, though Edward has no problems finding said partners, he gets bored rather easily and usually ends the relationship after only a few weeks. The billionaire does not believe in serious and long-term relationships but prefers no-strings-attached-trysts. Needless to say, when he meets his new employee Bella Swan, he is more than intrigued - despite the fact that she does not look like his usual conquests. Edward cannot get her out of his mind and wonders who the beautiful brunette is who captivates him so much. He knows that Bella is not one to be subdued but even though he tries, his dominant nature and desires cannot be suppressed for long. Will Bella be willing to accept him for who he is?

Black Silk Tie is an extremely sensual fanfiction that will leave you gasping and wanting for more! There are a lot of dom/sub stories out there in the fandom and this is one of the underrated ones! The plot of the story is really well-developed and slowly unravelling the reasons for why Edward does what he does and feels what he feels. Bella is pretty adament about changing her lover's controlling tendencies, even though she enjoys the sex with him as much as he does. His ideas of having her whenever he snips with his finger and of always being 'in charge' don't go well with her and she makes sure he knows. In the process of doing so, she softens Edward in such a way that will pull at your heartstrings. But you need to have patience with the characters; and you need to be patient with the writing. Though the grammar and sentence structures are not perfect, the fabulous plot will leave you unable to put the story away. An extremely sexy story that shouldn't be missed! It is definitely worth reading should definitely be given a chance!

Black Silk Tie consists of 42 chapters and a total of 215,058 words. The story is rated MA for a lot of sexy lemons, some BDSM relationship, and language.

Bella Swan is an itelligent and hardworking woman. She is just the kind of person you would want to become: successful and with the world in the palm of her hand. Unfortunately, the company she has worked so hard for these past few years, crashes... along with the rest of the economy. The result is that the once so outstanding and sought-after VP is now in dire need of a job. Bella seeks employment in a temp agency until she can find something better. However, the last thing she had in mind when doing that was finding work at the company of her biggest rival - Edward Cullen. And to make matters even worse, her job is being the personal assitant for the handsome CEO himself, whom she hates with a passion. Naturally, chaos ensues, papers fly, and Cullen Enterprises is turned upside down. It is literally hate at first sight, annoyance at first quip, and hard fu**ing at first kiss. How did Bella got into the this mess? And how the hell will she be able to get out of it with her heart intact?

Man, Catastrophia can write lemons; at least that was pretty much our first thought when we read this fic. It's furious, fast and oh-so-freaking-good! In fact, Mel even had an immaginary ciggy after one of the explosives encounters between Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan. Nevertheless, their sexual encounters aren't the only things that are of explosive nature in this story because these two fight like an old married couple going through a really bad divorce. It seems as if they simply cannot get along - at all! Between misunderstandings, insults, and a gamut of venom thrown everywhere, it is shocking a stapler or hole puncher don't hit someone's head (and that is definitely not for lack of trying on Bella's part!) We laughed, raged, cried, swooned, panted, cold-showered, and pretty much became addicted to this story. We read the whole thing in one sitting. It was a story for those who don't want to think and just want to read something with an intense attraction and high chemestry between Bella and Edward. Catastrophia did an amazing job with writing the fights and snaky comments, not to mention the hot as hell lemons! *fan each other with a magazine* Seriously, why are you still reading this? GO GET STARTED ON THIS FIC NOW!

Hate What You Do To Me consists of 22 chapters and a total of 85,456 words. The story is rated MA for coarse language and hot-as-hell lemons.

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.

No worries. No responsibilities. Armed with a credit card and a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps, Bella lives a spoiled rotten life - and she loves every minute of it. She’s faced enough judgement over the years to learn to not care about what others think - so what, her step-father is filthy rich and she’s living every girl’s dream. All that comes to a abrupt halt, however, when her father, Charlie, decides to intervene. Expressing concerns over her spoiled lifestyle, he manages to convince Bella’s mother and step-father to take away all of the privileges she used to have. After that, she is carted off to work in her step-father’s office as a personal assistant to one recently-recruited Mr. Cullen. 

Edward Cullen isn’t known for being pleasant. He isn’t known for being caring or kind either. The whole office staff knows enough about his quirks and wicked temper to walk on egg-shells around him. But his life hasn’t been easy: he has demons that haunt him and motivate him to work until he’s the best. When Bella Swan, spoiled daughter of his boss, is introduced as his new assistant, will he be able to reign in his feelings long enough so that his hard work doesn’t go down the drain? Or will her purposeful seduction bring him to his knees? There’s a thin line between love and hate.

Office romances have always been a weakness of mine. The trouble is: finding one that covers everything you want is far from being easy. MrsK81 definitely delivers, though. The Best Mistake Of All has all - it contains the secret longing and forbidden lust that you so desperately want, yet still keeps the plot realistic and interesting. There is definitely a healthy amount of angst in Edward’s past, but it just adds more flavor to the story. Bella is refreshingly sassy and knows just how to push Edward’s buttons, which is always a plus. All in all, The Best Mistake Of All is fun, entertaining, and a gripping read. If you haven’t started this story yet, which is written from Bella's POV but with little remarks of Edward at the end of each chapter, it’s definitely worth a try!

The Best Mistake Of All consists of 34 chapters and 143,450 words. This story is rated MA for office smut and explicit language.

Ever since her parents died under tragic circumstances, her brother Jasper is all the family Bella Swan has left. He raised her under the most difficult circumstances and always made sure that she was safe and had everything she needed. After years if living in Forks, the two eventually move to Chicago where Jasper gets a lucrative job offer that will allow him to put his degree in business to use. He applies for the position as manager of the night club "Hades" and is accompanied by Bella when he goes to the job interview. There, the siblings meet club owner Edward Cullen, a devastatingly handsome young man, who oozes power and menace. Bella feels immediately drawn to him. Even though she is very well aware that he might be danger personified and could provide her with the biggest heartbreak of her life, she just can't stay away from him. Like a moth pulled to a flame, the 24-year old woman is completely under Edward's spell. Being with him could mean her end but the moment her eyes meet his, there is no way out for her anymore...

Edward Cullen, née Masen, is one of the most powerful man in Chicago. He works for the Volturi syndicate and has chances of becoming the new Don. With his father putting him under his wing at an early age, Edward grew up with murder, drugs, prostitution, and violence. He shot his father's killer at the tender age of 16 and never learned what it means to love and care. When his mother Esme marries successful doctor Carlisle Cullen, Edward breaks with his family and hardly ever sees them. He doesn't care about finding a woman to share his life with, he hates children, and refuses to lose control. However, when Bella enters his office, everything Edward thinks he knows seems to slip through his fingers. Suddenly, there is someone he deeply cares about, even though he doesn't like to admit it. His "babydoll", whom he asks to become his new secretary to keep her close, quickly becomes his whole life and other women, drugs, and even his dangerous lifestyle are forgotten or at least pushed to the background. Unfortunately, the mafia member has no idea how to love, much less how to treat women, which leads to lot's of confusion and heart break. What happens when Bella demands to know what he does for a living? Will he be able to share his dark world with her without risking her life?

Like a Moth to a Flame stars one of the most popular "-wards" in Twilight fanfictions: Mobward. Edward Cullen is all we want in a badass (soon-to-be) mafia boss: he is lethal, ruthless, has a more than colorful language, and uses drugs and whores. He is danger and power personified and incredibly sexy. But he is also an emotional cripple and has difficulties being in a normal relationship with Bella. He is controlling, jealous, and often very rude. Some things he says to his babydoll when he has another one of his fits of rage are really hurtful. But he is also willing to learn and thanks to Bella's wit, her stubbornness and talent to cook great meals, she quickly has him wrapped around her little finger. These two are meant to be with each other! No matter how much they try telling themselves otherwise, the immense pull they feel toward another, makes them always stay close. It's not up to Bella and Edward anymore if they want to be with each other or not - something inside of them, something they cannot control forces them to gravitate around each other. Even if it could mean their doom. They are drawn to each other, emotionally as well as sexually. Some schmexy lemons are waiting for you; they are so hot, they will make you fan yourselves! If you're in need of a handsome and dangerous Edward, obsessive love, great lemons, and a good amount of angst, Like a Moth to a Flame is definitely it for you! The whole story is written from both Edward's and Bella's POV.

Like a Moth to a Flame consists of 41 chapters (incl 6 outtakes) and an estimated 200,000 words. The story is rated MA for lemons, violence, and profanities.  A sequel is currently being published, La Famiglia.

"Does he know?"
"Know what?"
"That you're in love with him..."

Bella's mending a broken heart that her Mr. Perfect has inflicted on her out of the blue. How can a year of perfect love be called to a screeching halt with no explanation? And not only that, but said ex is also her boss and sending her seriously mixed signals. Forcing Bella to cling to what little hope may or may not be left and in the process lose her self respect. Not even her good friend and co-worker Rosalie can knock any sense into her.

Enter Mr. Imperfect, Edward Masen, in the form a new client and old college roommate of Mr. Perfect. He's rude, unkept, and the exact opposite of Jasper Whitlock. How they could have ever been friends is a mystery to Bella. But she'll soon learn looks can be deceiving and to stop putting her trust in the wrong people and start allowing the right ones in.

Oh, how can I count the ways I love this fic? Angst. Lemons. Self Discovery... This is yet another one of my repeat reads. Edward is rough around the edges but you can't help but fall for him and his sexy self. Bella can at times be a little frustrating, but she does what nearly any woman would do when she's sure she's found her Mr. Perfect. It doesn't hurt that both guys are super hot and Rosalie is super awesome. I love when Bella and Rose are friends in fics and this is one of my favs. The writing is awesome and each character is perfectly crafted to play their role in Bella's life. I really enjoyed this fic and the fact that it has super hot lemons is just icing on the cake. ;)

Having lost everything in life, Bella has no one to turn to - both emotionally and physically. After some unfortunate miscarriages, she finds herself betrayed by her husband Emmett and feels like all of her hopes and dreams are crashing down. To make matters worse, Bella barely manages to earn enough money to run the rent of her house - the only thing Emmett left behind - and is even unable to buy the necessities needed in life. Her job as the assistant of rich and brooding Edward Cullen, CEO of Cullen Enterprises, is only temporary and she will have to leave the position once the actual assistant comes back from her maternity leave. In order to survive Bella takes on a night job as a waitress in her cousin James' bar. To her surprise, she finds out that Edward stops by at the bar after work, always sitting at a corner table, staring at her with a beer in hand. As her boss never talks to her unless he has to, Bella starts wondering why he would show up night after night, observing her carefully...

When her days at Cullen Enterprises come to an end, Edward approaches her and makes her an offer she can't refuse. Bella agrees to work as Edward's personal assistant, obligated to do everything he wants - no strings or emotions attached! And so the two begin a physical relationship and soon develop feelings for each other. As neither wants to break the "rules" (according to Edward), neither of them says anything though and both are left to deal with their thoughts on their own. In the meantime, Bella learns more and more about her Edward, who seems to have nothing and no one but her. Betrayed by his own family, Edward had decided to turn off his emotions and withdraw from the world as much as possible. With a dangerous past looming over him and his dominant insecurities, will Edward and Bella be able to survive as a couple?

Mamasutra does an excellent job in portraying each character's emotions in the story. Although a drabble fic and filled with multiple grammatical mistakes, the story is easily understandable and you can immediately connect with what Edward and Bella are going through. Emmett's role in the fanfic is a rather negative one, but the reader will eventually learn about his situation and come to some kind of closure where he is concernec. In addition, one of the most unique characters that you will find in this story is, surprisingly, Tanya. She plays Edward's good sister and is very understanding with regards to what goes on in his head.  On the other hand though, characters Alice and Carlisle will bring out completely opposite feelings as  those compared to Tanya. Despite unique characters, the story is rounded perfectly and keeps you held till the end. Will Bella and Edward be able to overcome their pasts and learn to accept love? I strongly encourage this fanfic, it will not disappoint you!

Bella Swan is convinced by her friend Rosalie to enjoy the evening at Mercer 113, a new hip club in Chicago. After a couple of drinks and some dancing Bella is approached by what she thinks is the most handsome man she's ever seen. The two begin bantering each other for a while before the mystery man hands Bella a black card and leaves. Having watched the encounter Rosalie fills her best friend in on the meaning of the simple black card, that only has the words:

SALACIOUS

E.M.C

555-3825

printed on it. Apparently, Bella has just received what is called a Raven bid from a member of Chicago's most secret and influential society. The next day, our headstrong and curious young girl calls the number on the card and before she knows what's happening to her she has a meeting arranged with E.M.C. The latter tells her over gourmet food and wine that he offers her to pay a total of 30 million dollars if Bella agress to spend a whole year with him - and with that he means moving into his luxurious penthouse and having sex with him.

Unsurprisingly, Bella refuses and feels hurt to have been treated like a hooker. Yet she cannot seem to get E.M.C. a.k.a. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen's emerald green eyes out of her head and quickly also notices that something about her suitor (that is Edward; Bella is referred to as "bid" among members of the society) is off - but in a good way. Because Edward doesn't seem to want to be with Bella for just the sex. Let's be honest, he could have every woman in and around Chicago but here he is, willing to spend millions of dollars for her. Is Edward telling her everything or might there be another reason why the successful CEO chose Bella as his bid?

In the beginning, I was very skeptical of the story. The whole idea of a secret society whose members bid on beautiful women, not because they love them and want to win their hearts, but because it is expected of them, seemed a little weird to me. Oh boy was I wrong! Salacious is one of those fanfictions you just cannot put away. The first 8 chapters are written from Bella's POV and just like her the reader constantly wonders 'Who the hell is this man?' Edward seems to be passionate yet tends to lose his nerves and gets angry. He only tells Bella as much about the society as she needs to know and is very much worried about her security. One minute you think he is just another one of these rich businessmen who are used going to prostitutes to get their sexual needs fulfilled and in the next he seems to be really interested in Bella, the person and doesn't jump her the first chance he gets. Then finally, in the 9th chapter we get an insight in Edward's mind for the first time and trust me when I say that there were moments when felt like 'Wow - I didn't see that coming!' So if you are as skeptical as I was about this story, please give it a chance! The whole idea of a secret society is very well explained and Edward's arrangement with Bella has many parallels to Pretty Woman. cutestkidsmom did a wonderful job with Salacious and I cannot wait to read her other stories! Oh, and did I mention the lemons are hot?

Salacious consists of 50 chapters and a total of 191,084 words. The story is rated MA for lemons, language, and violence.

Bella Swan has the opportunity of a lifetime: she could become the personal assistant of none other than Hollywood beau Edward Cullen. When she's up for her job interview, however, things look everything but rosy. Question after question is fired in her direction and when Bella leaves the room she's absolutely sure that she had just ruined her future career. With her eyes on the ground and thoughts miles away, she trips over the carpet and lands right on her cute behind. And who's helping her up? Yes, of course...

And then the unthinkable happens, Bella gets the job - and has to start working right away. She's invited to the set of Edward's new movie, directed by his father Carlisle. Shown around by Edward's sister and make-up artist Alice, Bella soon feels like she's in the middle of a perfect dream: Academy Award winners shake her hand and women looking like they just stepped out of a Vogue magazine cover greet her with a smile. But not everyone is that welcoming. Edward is rather reserved towards Bella, keeps his distance and rarely looks or talks to her. Things change, however, when Edward gets sick and Bella has to care for him in his house. Soon, she not only finds herself helping him learn his lines (and practice kissing) but also gets to know his closest friends a lot better. Yet is isn't until a slimie bad boy named James tries to come a little bit too close to Bella, that Edward finally acts on his feelings...

You will need a lot of time to complete reading Help Wanted. With over 600,000 words the story is like a huge tome of fanfiction. The chapters are really long but because of the interesting plot the reader is hardly aware of that. Both the main and supporting characters are very well developed and the fact that the story is written from Edward's AND Bella's perspectives is helpful for the reader to understand certain behaviors/decisions a lot better. Edward, for example, will, in the beginning, look like a cold and arrogant bastard but once you see his side of the coin, you'll understand that he's only lonely and rather careful and skeptical towards new aquaintances. Of course, the latter, eventually results in a lot of UST! But, let me tell you, once he finally listens to his heart, the two make good use of that sexual energy! Another great story of jaxon22!

Help Wanted consists of 64 chapters and 607,440 words. Five outtakes to the fanfic can be found here. The story is rated MA for language and adult situations.

Bella Swan knows the man she is going to travel to Italy with very well - even before they are formally introduced. Only a couple of weeks earlier, she had seen the same handsome face ordering a coffee at Starbucks and, fearing that he was way out of her league, she had kept quiet. Now, the Adonis of a man, who, she finds out, goes by the name of Edward Masen, is supposed to present ideas for an upcoming project to a wealthy Italian business man - with Bella as his interpreter...

Once in Milan, Bella becomes aware of the extreme pull she feels towards Edward, who seems to reciprocate her feelings. After dinner in a sea food restaurant and a nice walk home, Edward accompanies Bella to her room. When it's time to say goodbye he begs her to tell him to leave, hinting at the consequences if she didn't... And even though nothing happens that night, the two don't seem to get each other out of their minds. With a bouquet of flowers, Edward invites Bella to a non-business dinner and has a proposition to make that she can't refuse, or can she?

The House of Glass is completely written from Bella's POV. Given the fact that Edward tends to behave inexplicably cold and bossy, this can be rather frustrating. The reader only knows as much as Bella and that means he is often left with dozens of questions. Like the fanfic's title for example. Though subtle hints are given here and there, the mystery behind The House of Glass isn't revealed until after two thirds of the story are over. But, I think, it's really worth the wait because it fits the plot and, more importantly, Edward, perfectly. Finally, it might be of interest to many of you out there, to know that this story doesn't include any lemons. Once Edward and Bella are about to "do the deed" there is a cut and we read about the "moment after". Though a lot of readers will be sad to hear that (myself included) The House of Glass doesn't need the description of sex to be intriguing, the well-written characters do that all by themselves.

The House of Glass consists of 21 chapters and a total of 78,138 words. The story is rated T.

Bella Swan is the personal assistant of Edward Cullen, designated CEO of Cullen International Cooperation. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Bella has been absolutely smitten with her boss. He, however, seems totally oblivious to her and her affection...

When the young woman can't take it anymore she decides to meet with Edward's brothers (and designated co-CEO's) Emmett and Jasper as well as her best friends Rosalie and Alice and confides her feelings to them. The five work out a strategy to make Edward see Bella in a more sexual rather than work-related light. What follows are tons of sexual innuendos, lots of seducation, wild phantasies, and much UST!

Shockingly, His Personal Assistant is the only story ever written by NorthernLights17. A real shame if you ask me because this fanfiction is funny, erotic, and very-well written. Emmett and Jasper's idea to let Bella renenact Edward's sexual desires and experiences is wonderfully played out and one feels almost sorry for the man... But only almost. ; )

His Personal Assistant consists of 46 chapters and a total of 172,828 words. The story is rated MA for very graphic description of sexual activities and foul language.

Bella Swan has a secret that, although neither shameful nor her fault, cost her her marriage and life in Forks, Washington. In order to leave her disastrous past behind, she decides to take over a job at the London branch of her company Volturi Executive Search and Selection. Once safely in the UK, Bella visits her future work space to meet her new colleagues and boss, number one headhunter Edward Cullen. She is definitely not prepared for what life has in store for her...

When Edward Cullen meets his new PA he is blown away. Forgotten are the old days as notorious womanizer; the headhunter now only has one woman in mind - Bella. And even though the latter makes clear that it would be better for both of them to remain friends, Edward can't manage to hide his feelings. But will he be willing and able to deal with Bella's secret?

Amber 1983 really knows how to deal with a delicate topic because Bella's little secret is... as unusual as it is unexpected, to say the least. Honestly, I had no idea "problems" like these even existed and definitely learned a lot while reading the story! But don't worry, even though this slightly unorthodox "secret" is the source for a lot of drama and some angst, the whole matter is neither frivolous nor cheap. Well, have I aroused your interest? Trust me, you REALLY want to read this! : )

The Search consists of 31 chapters and a total of 182,812 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual activities, insinuation of domestic abuse and foul language.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Well, not really - Bella Swan can attest to that. Drunk and not her usual cautious self, the young woman spends the night with a handsome stranger and finds out weeks later that she's pregnant. As Bella sees no chance of finding her baby's daddy she decides to raise the little boy on her own - even though looking into Joshua's small emerald green eyes constantly reminds her of a man she has no hope to ever meet again.

Once Josh is 9 months old Bella decides to start working full-time again. She manages to get the position as PA of one Mike Newton, manager of the marketing department at Cullen International. During her first couple of days Bella meets the company's founder Carlisle Cullen, his lovely wife Esme, and their sons Emmett and Edward. The latter is Cullen International's CEO and a real prick, well at least to Bella. While others know Edward for his kindness and willingness to help, the young woman only receives evil eyes and disinterested looks. Little does she know that there is more to mysterious Edward Cullen than she thinks there is...

Hard to believe, but true: Mask of Indifference is Isabella N Edward's first, and so far, only fanfiction! Well, her debut was definitely a success! The characters of the story are nicely portrayed and very likable (Josh is an angel!).
It takes a couple of chapters for Bella to find out who her son's father is (*mmh* Who could that be?) and at least as much time for her to work out the courage to let him know. In the meantime, there are a lot of sweet moments between her, Josh, and Edward. Can't wait for Isabella N Edward's next story!

Mask of Indifference consists of 41 chapters and a total of 159,174 words. The story is rated M for lemons and foul language.

At nineteen Edward Cullen made a decision that would haunt him for the next ten years: when his best friend Bella confesses her unconditional love for him, he dismisses his own feelings, rejects her and offers to remain friends instead. Heartbroken, Bella leaves her life and home town behind and moves to New York to start fresh. But neither the change of location nor her focus on the job help her forget Edward and love for him. And so, one day, when Bella happens to bump into Edward's little sister Alice, she doesn't hesitate to accept an invation to the Cullens' christmas party.

Let me get this straight: this fanfiction is fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. Don't expect major drama or chapter after chapter of the two getting back together - this is romantic, cute, and yes, not necessarily realistic. But the wonderful christmas setting and an awfully sweet Edward really make up for that!

All Want For Christmas Is You is a one-shot. The story is rated T and thus suitable for teens over 13 years of age.

Edward Cullen has just one thing in mind: revenge. He wants nothing more than to let Aro Volturi pay for the deaths of his brother and niece, and oh so many other girls all over the world! So one night, after months of planning, Edward finally manages to break into the government agency lead by Aro and begins looking for evidence. After finding Aro's laptop he tries to access and download the most important files but even with the help of computer geek Jasper, he seems to be unable to crack the password. Right in this moment Felix stumbles into the office with a pretty brunette by his side, apparently Aro's PA. And all of a sudden, things change - Edward Cullen has just one thing in mind: her!

What I Want is the companion piece to Want No More, which is written out of Bella's persepctive. In this one shot, Edward is cocky yet not necessarily rude. He is respectful towards Bella but makes sure she knows how much he wants her. It's too bad that Savage7289 restricted herself to only one (or two) chapter(s) - this plot would have deserved to be expanded to at least twenty times as much!

What I Want is a one shot and consists of 13,587 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual activities. If you are off age I'll advise you not to read the fanfiction!

After a tragic car accident that caused the death of her mother, Bella is suffering from severe back pain. Upon the advice of her physician Carlisle Cullen, she starts visiting his sons Emmett, a chiropractor, and Edward, a massage therapist. And once gentle hands touch her skin and emerald eyes see her soul, Bella knows things will never be the same again.

Edward Cullen is haunted by the past. Each day, he writes to his late former girlfriend Tanya and tries to come to terms with what happened to her, him, them. Ridden by guilt and pain, Edward put up walls to keep those who want to come too close out of reach, but once he lays eyes on his new patient Bella Swan, brick by brick comes crashing down...

But Edward knows that it's unethical to start a relationship with a client, no matter how smart, funny, and beautiful that client might be. It isn't until the appearance of a rival, and the awareness that he and Bella share the same passion for music, that Edward realizes that love is more important than ethics.

The story is written from both Edward's and Bella's point of view (Bella writes to her dead mother Reneé and Edward to the equally dead Tanya). While the beginning is a little slow, GemGirl65 makes up for that in the later chapters. Once Edward and Bella are together, they are just absolutely cute, loving, and sexually insatiable! Things are getting hot!

Massage Therapy consists of 52 chapters and a total of 308,939 words. The story is rated MA for graphic descriptions of sexual activities. If you are under the age of 18, I'll advise you not to read the fanfiction!
