Ch.3-Slow?

"Dude, what the hell?" I looked at my unfamiliar surroundings.

"Shh....Bella, it's okay. It's Edward, remember?" I looked up to the familiar green-eyed boy.

"Right...from the bar. Where am I?"

"My room. I brought you up here. Your clothes are still wet, you can change into this" he handed me some clothes "bathrooms there" he pointed to a door.

"Thanks." I went to the bathroom and changed into the long button up and shorts he gave me, and tossed my clothes over the shower curtain rod to dry. When I left the bathroom Edward was leaning over a black couch clad only in some boxers. I took a second to admire my view. Nice...

"Thanks again." I walked over to the couch and plopped down.

"What do you think you're doing? You're sleeping in the bed"

"Huh?"

"I'm sleeping on the couch, you get the bed. You're my guest."

"Sorry, man. Not happening." I rolled onto my side and snuggled into the large leather couch.

"I'll just end up carrying you to the bed once you're asleep" He said. I huffed before getting up and making my way to the luxurious king-size bed.

"Compromise?" I climbed under the thick gold comforter "We share. Your bed's huge." He eyed me warily "Come on, it's not like I'm gonna take advantage of you! Your virtue's completely safe with me!" He grumbled something then joined me in the bed.

"Good night Bella." Edward said before turning off the lamp next to his bed. Moonlight from the extra large window illuminated the room and I cuddled into his side.

"Good night Edward" I whispered in his ear, before taking advantage of the situation and kissing his wonderfully smooth lips, something I had been dying to do all night.

He froze for a second before responding, crashing his lips into mine. He rolled on his back and I situated myself on top of him; we melded together in perfect harmony. Okay...so maybe his virtue wasn't all too safe. WhenI felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip, my mouth opened, granting him access. I didn't bother suppressing my moan of pleasure at the taste if him, and neither did he when I bit his bottom lip. My hands made their way around his neck, and into his silky-smooth hair. One of his was behind my head, holding me to him and the other was at my hip, his thumb was rubbing circles on the exposed flesh where my shirt rode up. I relished the moan I elicited as I ground my hips into his. One of my hands made its way down to where he was hardening beneath me, eliciting yet another moan of pleasure. Too soon he pushed me away. We were both panting heavily as I rolled off of him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I don't think we should have sex tonight." He stated. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I want to. But you said you were planning on staying a while, right?" he paused long enough for me to nod my head, "and I was serious in the bar when I said you were interesting. I'd like to get to know you before we have sex. Do this right. I feel a strange connection to you Bella" I felt his hand lightly trace the outline of my cheek. "and I don't want to ruin this by jumping into bed together."

I bit my bottom lip, thinking of how to respond to that confession.

"I've never....never wanted anyone like this before." if it weren't so dark he would have been able to see the blush I could feel lighting up my cheeks. "I feel like I would be able to trust you, it's weird. Really weird for me. I don't trust people, and no guy had ever made me want this before...." I brought my lips back to his, unable to control my raging hormones due to the alcohol I had earlier consumed. Edward responded animatedly but after a few more minutes he pulled away again.

"Wait. There's no hurry for this." He seemed to be struggling just as much as I was, "And, besides...I've never umm......hehe. I've never really even noticed another girl before, much less done anything even remotely close to what we were just doing, so I think, we should talk some, and take this slow. Not that what we were just doing could be considered 'slow' but I do think we should wait. Okay?"

"You really are something else, you know that?" I wondered to myself how this guy could be so amazing.

"So are you, love" I heard him whisper into my ear. He placed a kiss on my neck and brought me close to his chest as he wrapped his strong arms around me.

"You know, you didn't need an excuse to see me again. I would've been cool with it. You just had to ask. And 'slow' doesn't mean no more kissing right?" Edward chuckled

"Of course not Bella, I don't think I'd be able to keep myself from kissing you like that again" he sighed, kissed my forehead and started humming a song as I quickly drifted off to sleep.
