Story: A Sprinkling of Sugar
Author: Edward's Eternal
Summary: Edward Cullen is a busy executive, who lives for only one thing —his company. His gruff attitude and rigid ways are what make him a success. There is no room for indulgences or distractions.
An unwanted trip brings three huge distractions into his life— a chatty teenager, a tiny lisping angel, and most importantly—one small, determined, dark-haired woman who drives him crazy with both frustration and desire.
Which will win?

“Mr. Cullen?”
I nodded.
“I’m your ride!”
“Pardon?” I sputtered.
My ride?
“Yeah, I’m Seth. Bella sent me to pick you up. Flight delayed, eh?”
“Yes, there was a mechanical issue.”
“Well, better you than me, man. Bella would tan my hide if I was the late one.”
I arched my eyebrow at him. I had no idea who this Bella person was or exactly what “tanning his hide” meant, although I had an inkling.
“Is the car out front?” I asked pointedly.
“Nah.” He grinned. “I had to park it since you were late.”
I sucked in a deep breath, reminding myself I wasn’t in Toronto anymore. Obviously they did things…differently here.
“Shall we go, then?”
He nodded. “Yeah, sure. Hope your coat’s warm. It’s colder than a witch’s tit out there!”
And with that cheerful announcement, he walked through the door, letting it shut in my face.
My coat billowed behind me, my eyes instantly blinking in rapid succession at the freezing temperature. I followed Seth’s quick pace to the garage, almost groaning with relief when we walked into the cement structure.
He looked at me askance. “You should have done your coat up, man!”
I glared at him, my patience now thin. “You should have offered to take my bags so I could button up my fucking coat! In fact, you should have had the car warm and waiting for me!”
His cheerful expression fell and his eyes widened. “Shit,” he whispered. “Bella is gonna kill me.” He lunged forward, almost ripping my case from my hand and dropping my garment bag. “Don’t tell her, please? She trusted me to do this! I’ll make it up to you!” He dropped my case as well, now both of them sitting on the dirty, cold cement.
