A/N- I am sorry for my mini-cliffy. I hope that all of you will enjoy a few moments of passion with Bella and Edward. A special thanks to Clarisa who is editing for me. I am so glad that you are helping with this story. Your encouraging words make me want to write. Thank you to those that are reading this and who let me know you love it. Keep Reviewing. I love to know what you think?
Please ReadNow I am climbing up on my soapbox!
I am so upset at the bonehead who distributed Midnight Sun on the internet. I am sad that we will be punished and may never see the final product due to the injustice. I strongly urge you to stay away from the site that has posted the unedited book. It would be disrespectful to Stephenie Meyer to read what was not intended for us yet. She has given us amazing characters and hours of joy. Let's give her our support and stay away from this.
Climbing down...
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns twilight and these characters and I am so sorry for your pain. We love you!

My heart stopped. I wanted to rewind the tape and make sure that I had heard correctly. I wanted so much to take her in my arms and kiss her lips. I wanted to touch every part of her skin and grant her request, as my body responded to my detailed thoughts of her naked body against mine. I reached out to touch her face…
I couldn't do it… I really am a coward.

I was having an incredible dream about Edward and I doing unspeakable things to each other when I must have moaned or something, because I woke up startled. I was very nervous as I looked up, afraid that I might have exposed myself as the biggest pervert alive.
"Hey, you" I said calmly, trying to look innocent. I glanced up at Edward who was staring down at me. "I am sorry if I woke you; I think I might snore."
"You weren't snoring, but you do talk in your sleep," Edward grinned.
My eyes widened in sheer panic and Edward laughed at my reaction.
"Don't worry; you didn't say anything offensive." I smiled and buried my head in the tiny pillow.
"Remind me that if I ever get stuck in an elevator again, I should bring a hairbrush," I said offhandedly, running my fingers through my hair like a comb.
"So you plan on this happening again?" Edward teased.
"You have no idea of my luck when it comes to dangerous situations. If there is trouble, I find it, so it certainly wouldn't surprise me."
"Really... " Edward said intrigued. "Tell me about some of your adventures."
I laughed as I talked about my frequent trips to the ER as a child, all my broken bones and stitches. I told him about the time I almost got run over by a van in the school parking lot when the van slid on a patch of black ice. I also mentioned the time I decided that I wanted to try some extreme sports, like my days of riding my motorcycle, and when I jumped off a cliff and almost drowned before my friend pulled me out of the water.
"I have more scars on my body than a war veteran," I stated sadly
"You might have mentioned this before we got on the elevator," he said teasing me. "Maybe we should put a warning label on you."
Our laughter filled the air once again. I was in awe at how easy it was to be with Edward. It was comfortable and yet thrilling at the same time.
"Time check?" I said.
"It is almost 5pm; the offices will be closing soon."
"I wonder who knows we are here. I am sure that they have contacted our offices, right?"
"I am sure they have. We are in good hands, Bella," Edward stated confidently.
A comfortable silence lingered as we both thought about the reality of our situation.
"I would kill for some music right now…" I said, mostly to myself.
"I can help you out there; I have some songs on my phone," Edward said as he fiddled with his phone.
Edward put his phone on speaker and the music filled the space around us.
The first song that came on was an 80's song from Pat Benatar, "Love is a Battlefield". I started singing it loudly and Edward joined in.
We searched and found some more 80's rock and sung at the top of our lungs to several songs. It killed time and made us laugh.
"I think the lack of oxygen is getting to us. Now, if you have any Bon Jovi on here, well I am just going to have to marry you!" I exclaimed after the laughter died down.
Edward smiled and then switched the song and started singing… "She a Little Runaway…" He grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"My mom will be so excited to have a daughter-in-law." He smiled.
My heart melted at the thought. He really was fun to be with. If I ever got out of here, I was going to have a lifetime of Edward memories and many hours of fantasies about having hot sticky elevator sex with my green-eyed Mr. Perfect. I blushed at my thoughts and Edward smiled at me as we sang our Bon Jovi song.
We both relaxed back on our mats and just let his playlist go. He had such a wide variety of songs, and I really loved that about him. We had the same taste for oldies, as well as classical anything that was produced with passion.
Soon a beautiful song I didn't recognized echoed in the room, followed by a sweet voice singing the song I didn't know.
"Who is this?" I asked.
Edward paused before he spoke.
"It is me; this is one of my earlier pieces," he said shyly.
I listened even more intently as his sweet voice rang in my ears. Was there anything this man couldn't do?
"It is you… it will always be you with that fills my heart."
The words sang out to me and I felt these intense emotions tickling my nose. My heart pounded a bit faster as I closed my eyes and felt the emotion behind the song. The passion in the words combined with the expert piano playing was breathtaking.
I glanced over at Edward who was staring at me intently. He noticed my eyes glistening and I turned away quickly.
"Bella, what is wrong?" he asked, concerned.
I was so embarrassed at my tears, but I was truly moved. Music had always had that effect on me and I cursed myself for being such a girl right now.
"Edward, that was amazing! That was one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. It touched my soul. I love it when music can take you someplace you've never been."
His crooked little grin spread and turned into a full-fledged smile that resonated across his face as he reached over and wiped the tear from my eye.
"Thank you Bella… I don't even know what to say. I have never seen anyone respond to my music before. I mostly write for myself."
"Edward, you shouldn't hide this. The world deserves to hear this, it is an incredible song ."
"Maybe someday…" He spoke the words quietly.
It was quiet for a minute as the song ended and a new one started.
"Can I just say something cheesy right now?" I asked, still overwhelmed from his music.
"I like cheesy," he smiled sweetly.
"I know that this whole situation is not looking good for us, but I am glad that I got to spend this time with you. I have walked behind you every morning, and I am sad that I never got to experience you before, so thank you for making today a good day despite our present location."
Edward looked into my eyes, and, for a second, I felt something connect as he gazed into my eyes. I felt like he really saw me, like he could see all of me. As exposed as I felt, it felt right.
"That was cheesy," he laughed mischievously, as I reached over and hit him playfully.
He grabbed my arms as I wiggled free and I pulled my pillow up over his face. I lifted my body to gain more control, but we were both laughing so hard that I ended up with half my body on his and our faces dangerously close.
His eyes narrowed as his eyes grazed my lips and then his tongue lightly traced his bottom lip. I felt my heart race as his head moved closer to mine and I held his gaze. His hand reached down and cupped my face and I felt his breath on my lips. My eyes closed as my heart pounded, waiting for the contact that I so desperately craved. His lips touched mine gently and my eyes opened so that I wouldn't miss anything. His eyes seared into mine as his lips grew more urgent. My mouth opened slightly as he took the invitation and his tongue softly entered my mouth. I swear I wasn't breathing for fear that this incredible moment would end. The kiss deepened into a passion that I had never experienced. He mouth moved expertly with mine, like we were meant to do this forever. I tore my lips away to take a breath as his lips moved to my neck.
"Bella," he whispered at my ear. "I have dreamed of this." My heart was pumping faster than I had ever felt and my lips found his again. His words rang in my ears and I pulled myself up with his lips never leaving mine, and I lifted my legs over his body, straddling him. He pulled me closer and I felt his hard body underneath me. I said a silent prayer to God thanking him for this feeling, for this moment.
Edward lifted me away from him and our lips finally ceased. His eyes searched mine, looking for answers, for motivation and as soon as he got it, his lips returned to mine.
My mind was reeling; I had fantasized a million times about how it would feel to kiss him, but never in my dreams did I ever think that it would be like this. My body melted to his again as if we were one. My hands went to his chest and up to his neck. I wanted more.
"Edward, I …" I couldn't even tell him as I looked into his eyes still not believing that this was happening.
His lips left mine again and he pushed me back onto my mat. He rolled over on top of me and was hovering over me.
"Are you ok?" he asked, waiting for me to tell him to stop. I knew that I should, but the words wouldn't come out.
"I'm dazzled," I whispered as his smiling face found mine again. Despite the fact that I wanted to rip his clothes off, he was ever the gentleman. He kept his hand confined to my neck and my face; he was stronger than I was. My body was awakened after 26 years and I wanted to experience more.
I kept waiting for him to look down into my eyes and roll away from me, realizing his mistake, but we kissed until we were breathless and our lips were swollen. He eventually settled next to me with his arms wrapped around me.
"Wow," I said as I cuddled my body closer to him.
"Double wow," he said, holding me tightly.
I had officially died and gone to heaven.
