Chapter 2 – A stolen afternoon

He turned off the engine in front of my house, and this time I was too quick. Before he opened his door I was kissing him. He was surprised, but I could tell he was appreciating my efforts.

I started on his neck, and traveled slowly up to his ear. His lips parted and he moaned softly. He hands traveled around my shoulders. Slowly, so as to caution him with what I was doing, I leaned into to him and then carefully I moved my body so I was straddling him and pushing myself against him.

Now, we were both breathing heavily, and as I arched my back and thrust my hips forward……………

BEEEEEEEEEEEP, the horn. Oh, I was leaning on the horn.

Edward, chuckled lightly and swiftly, but gently moved me so I was no longer on-top of him.

"Well that killed the mood." I smiled.

"Thank god something did, otherwise I might have killed you" Edward said this breathlessly, but somehow it still sounded sweet.

We sat there, not touching catching our breath, starring into each other. "If I promise to behave can we lie in bed and daydream this afternoon away?" I asked him.

"Yes, but let's go to my house because there are always people around, and it would be more of a precaution to not let things get this out of hand again, this afternoon."

Was I imagining the emphasis of the this afternoon part or was he really inviting me to get out of hand on another afternoon? I decided not to ask or push my luck.

He ran home with me clinging onto his back enjoying the speed. And we didn't really slow down too much when we entered the house, or stop and say "hello" to Esme or Emmett, he didn't slow down until we entered his room and he placed me quietly onto the bed.

Then he lay down beside me and took my hand. It wasn't enough for me, I rolled over and draped myself across him, so his arm was around me and my head nestled between his shoulder and chest. I shivered from the coldness involuntarily and he wedged a thin throw pillow between us.

"What would you like to day dream about today, Bella?" He always said my name in way that made me feel like I was a kid enjoying a rated R movie.

"Once I am, changed I thought we should, I mean--- may want, to maybe live separately from your family for a little while, not too long, but long enough that we can stand next to each other without wanting to tear our clothes off."

"I've thought about that too", he turned over on his side while he spoke so we were looking at each other, our faces inches apart "the problem is while you are struggling with forming an aversion to your new natural food choice, you will probably want all the help and support from our family, especially Jasper because he struggles so much with it, he will be able to empathize with you."

After he finished that last part he studied my expression, clearly reading the disappointment. "but I do think I can convince them all to take a holiday for a fortnight, so we can have the house to ourselves, and I can have my way with you, all of you." He winked at me then and lightly touched his lips to mine.

Then he looked at me like he just remembered something, "Why are we going on a double date with Jessica and Andrew?"

"It won't be so bad Edward, but ever since we set a date for the change, I want to do everything possible that is human, that we won't be able to do after."

"Bella, after the cha-nge,"

he overly emphasized the word, mocking my aversion to using the word Vampire "you will be a much better ice-skater, it seems like it is sort of a dangerous thing for you to be doing now, while human . . ."

Now I was almost laughing – "no, silly it is not the ice skating so much – believe me you better keep your arms around me at all times if I am putting sharp blades on my feet and then to be expected to slide elegantly on a sheet of ice" I inhaled sharply and whispered sheepishly "it's the dessert".

Now he understood. "So you mean out of all the human things you will be missing, the one thing you are having trouble with is giving up chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream?"

"Yes" I sighed, perhaps a little too strong to be just talking about food.

"Isn't chocolate and sex supposed to be the most sinuous human pleasures, and since it is quite clear I will never fully understand the sex part, while human"

I looked up at him for confirmation that after the change I would fully understand this, and the expression on his face assured me I would.

"then I am going to eat as much chocolate between now and then as I can." Exasperated from that statement I laid down flat against the bed. Right before I drifted into a late afternoon nap I managed to ask;

"Edward, what is second base?" He chuckled and rested his hands in the right place to demonstrate the answer.
