Bella Swan is a writer that is on a trip of a lifetime. Edward Cullen is a famous actor and musician, whose life is a blur of film-sets, hotels and screaming fans. A destined encounter and a battle of mind over matter erupt amongst sensual music and a shared longing.

Britain, 9th century:

Bella is captured by Vikings and brought with them to their homeland where her new fate awaits. Will she ever find happiness being a slave? Will it matter that she is given to Edvard, the chieftain of the village, to be his new bed thrall? 

Edward leaves Forks and Bella behind after the incident with Tyler's van. Now, five years later, he finally returns to his family and the Pacific Northwest. While picking up his latest Swedish automobile, he is confronted by a very familiar scent. Will Edward be able to fight the pull his singer has on him a second time? Or will he stick around long enough to find out What Drives Her?

 He was my forbidden fruit. A man so close, almost too close, yet so far out of reach. He loved me, took care of me, but did not crave me the same way I did him. I wanted everything, yet had nothing. But things were going to change. I could feel it. Mature

A fake ID, a new sexy outfit, and two of my best friends life could ask for were supposed to be a recipe for an amazing night out, but what happens when someone from your past shows up in a place you would have never imagined.

He didn't want this lifestyle anymore, he wanted love, marriage and a family. Could Bella, who had already raised a family, of sorts, be the answer? What does Bella want?

 Bella and Edward have been best friends forever and they've shared a lot of firsts. Now Bella wants to share one last one together. AU/slightly OOC Cannon pairings B/E And rated M for language and lemons!

She's ruthless and incapable of human emotion, and to Edward's greatest frustration, the hottest woman walking the face of the planet. Will a proposition made change the course of their lives forever? Will they break the rules, or will all terms and conditions apply?

Lemon? Yes please!
