A/N: Wow, it's been a while. Okay here's the dealio. I have a major project due and that's why I haven't updated much. It'll be over next week, so by then, updates will come easy breezy. I managed to squeeze this one in cause I was feeling antsly. I wanted to update my other story first, but I did this one instead. I guess I'm sort of a masochist that way. Like How I eat every other skittle first, even though I like the red ones best. hehe.

FLUFF ALERT!

The waking world came back to me gradually. No more nightmares plagued me that night and I relished in the feeling of having Edward's arms around me while I awoke.

"Don't get up." Edward suddenly said as I stretched, or at least tried to while being in his hold.

"What?" I said lazily, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"Don't get up. Not yet, please?"

"Why what's the matter?" I squirmed in his grip so my body faced his.

"No, nothing's wrong. I just want to keep holding you like this. At least for a little while longer."

I made no move to get up, but began playing with the bronze hair above his forehead as his eyes bore into mine.

"This is nice," I said.

"Perfect," he replied, as if nice wasn't a good enough word.

His face neared mine. I was painfully aware of how his head inched closer and closer. No, it wasn't just his. Our lips were barely grazing, but I lifted my hand quickly to block the impending kiss.

His eyes flashed with grief while his gaze shifted to my hand, but it turned into understanding as he looked back to me.

I merely smiled at him teasingly.

"Human moment," I said, my heart swelling when I saw his face flood with relief.

"Oh," he said, crooked smile and all.

I was about to get up, but Edward wouldn't let me. He leaned into me to try and kiss me again but I pursed my lips together tightly.

"Give me a second," I said, directing my breath away from Edward.

He shook his head and laughed. The bed shook as he did so.

"Bella," he sighed, an amused look in his eyes. "I've expressed to you countless times how deliciously aromatic you are. Morning breath isn't something you should worry about with me. I don't smell it, honestly."

I clasped both hands over my mouth and shook my head at him. I wasn't sure I believed him. Either way, I wasn't feeling very kissable.

"I feel icky," my words came out muffled from beneath my hands, "and fuzzy."

"Very well," he kissed me between my eyebrows and the next thing I knew I was up in the air.

Edward put me down in front of the bathroom sink and his hands were still on the same places they were while we were on my bed. Draped across my stomach and around my waist. I stared at him open mouthed through the mirror above the sink. He was still hugging me from behind, but he gave me a no nonsense look in return.

"Well, go ahead then. Brush." He told me impatiently.

"I'm fairly capable of handling my morning rituals on my own."

"Oh, I don't doubt it. But isn't this way better?"

"No," I lied.

"I see," he removed one hand from my waist, but kept the other in place. "If you aren't going to cooperate, I'm afraid we're going to have to do this the hard way. Now open up."

He already had my toothbrush in his hand with the toothpaste on it. How he accomplished all of this with one hand was beyond me, but there it was, hovering menacingly over my closed mouth.

"You don't give up do you," I opened my mouth obediently and he began to gently brush my teeth for me. It was the most sensuous toothbrushing I've ever had.

He leaned in closer to my ear while scrubbing my bottom molars. "Anything for a kiss."

I spit and gargled, finishing the task of getting my mouth to feel minty fresh.

Edward rested the area between his thumb and index finger under my chin and parted my lips with fingers. His head tilted, appraising his handiwork.

"Good?" he asked

"Gud," I sputtered out. His fingers were still parting my lips.

He gave me a devilish smile and used his hand on my jaw to pull me closer to him. He got his kiss and I made him work for it. I kissed him back fiercely and wrapped my hands around his neck.

His hand dropped from my face and he wrapped his arm around my waist, alongside the other which had never left my waist in the first place.

Our bodies wrapped together and I felt my lips melding into his. It was a while until I felt my lungs begin to burn. Too soon Edward broke the kiss so I could get air, but it was him who was left gasping.

"God Bella!" he blurted out, his chest heaving against mine. His hands loosened around me as a large smile plastered on his face.

I found my chance and stepped back and out of his grasp unnoticed. He looked at me when he noticed I had gone missing from him and his fingers wandered to trace his lips.

I looked where his fingers lay on his lips and back at his eyes.

"You earned it," I smirked and gave him a wink. I ran briskly back to my room leaving Edward in my wake.

I wasn't very surprised to see him already waiting for me when I entered. He wrapped me up in his arms once again and pushed us both back into my bed.

"Edward what are you doing?"

"You've had your human moment. Now let me have mine," he grabbed my hand and used it to trace my fingers across his lips, him kissing each and every one.

"Didn't you say you were going to take me back to see the family?" I inquired.

His expression darkened and his body shifted lightly.

"I changed my mind," he placed a kiss on the palm of my hand. "I don't want to share you yet. It's too soon."

I felt relieved. I wasn't exactly proud of it, but I wasn't ready to see the rest of the Cullens either. It's not like things could go back to normal instantaneously. For now, I was happy just being here.

"So are you really going to keep me here all day?"

"If you let me," Edward said sheepishly.

I gave him a quick peck on both cheeks and the sides of lips raised to where my lips touched. "I let you."

Just then, my stomach rumbled. Edward's smile sank and his eyes shot daggers at my stomach.

"How could something so amazingly adorable be so mischievous," he wagged a finger admonishingly at my abdomen. "Oh well, I suppose you know the drill by now."

Before I could protest I was downstairs sitting on Edward lap. His hands still around my waist and we were sitting in front of the kitchen counter. A bowl of cheerios in front of me.

I turned my head around to look at Edward.

"Umm, Edward, not that it's a problem, but don't you think you're acting a tad...clingy?"

Edward didn't respond right away. He slowly lowered his head to the back of my head and I felt his lips make contact. The cold made my whole body tingle and I shivered while on his lap. His body stiffened for a fraction of a second, but Edward just rested his chin over my shoulder and looked at my food.

"Perhaps," was all he said, musingly.

I crossed my arms above my chest and pouted. I was beginning to feel like a child.

"Bella," Edward warned. "We can either do this the easy way, or the hard way."

I finished my bowl of cereal quickly and pushed the bowl away when I was done.

Feeling like it was I who earned a kiss this time, I turned while still on Edward lap so I was facing him. My arms wrapped around his neck and my legs on either side of his waist.

I leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips, but during mid-lean, I decided on a change of course.

My lips aimed for Edward's neck. His head tilted back as I placed kisses around his neck and I illicited a moan when I settled on just one spot.

He lifted my head up and stole a kiss on the lips. I pushed further into him to deepen the kiss.

Neither of us even heard the wood creaking until it was way too late. I placed both hands on top of Edward's shoulders and leaned closer into him. Before I knew it I was falling forward and Edward, looking dazed, was falling backwards.

We were both on the ground. Edward on his back, and me on top, straddling his waist. I couldn't help but laugh. Edward had a confused look on his face.

I grabbed both of his hands in mine and leaned down to kiss him. I flopped my hair to the side and out of my face. The brush of air hit Edward and a low growl escaped from his chest. I could feel the vibrations from it while I was kissing him.

I lifted my face from his slowly and peered into his onyx eyes. He was the picture of bliss. For the moment.

I leaned back in towards him, but to the side. My mouth was only centimeters from his ear.

"You need to feed," I whispered.

An agonized look masked his face.

"Crap," he whined.

"Crap indeed."

A/N: Okay, part of the reason why I took so long to update this was because I wasn't exactly sure where I was heading with this story now. I know now, so it won't be as hard for me to update this story.
