Then - Summer 2001
"Wanna get out of here," I ask gently in her ear, hoping she can't hear the slight edge of anxiousness in my tone. When she nods in agreement, I feel myself release a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding. I take her hand in mine, reveling in the tingling sensation it creates through my body, as I lead us out into the much quieter hallway.
It's not until we're free of the clusterfuck of noises and bodies, that I pause momentarily. I hadn't really thought about where we'd go from here. All I knew was that I wanted to be alone with her, even if it was just to talk more. I wanted it to be just us. I wanted more.
When I'd seen her across the room at the safety briefing, I'd felt this automatic pull towards her. I couldn't help but keep an eye on her as she stood in the opposite corner with her friend. She was so naturally beautiful it took my breath away, and the way she'd attempted to hideaway in that corner and not look in my direction only drew me to her more. I'd felt this strange need to break down whatever walls she seemed to be constructing at just the mere idea of me, which was not something I wanted to do with many other girls. From just that distant interaction, I could tell she was different from most women who took interest in me, and I wanted to prove to her that I was different from 'that guy'. I couldn't let her slip away and remain a mystery during the trip; I had to know her.
My heart had raced when the golden opportunity struck at the Sail Away Party. At first, when we'd headed out to the lifeboats, I'd completely lost sight of her in the crowd, and I couldn't help the feeling of dejection that ached within me at the lost opportunity. But as it would seem, fate, or Alice as I now liked to call her, had other ideas for sooner rather than later. I'd just told Emmett that I was going to go grab a drink when Alice bounded over and eagerly introduced herself causing me to stop in my tracks. When her friend didn't join us, I asked where she was, and Alice happily pointed me toward the railing, where her beautiful, brunette roommate had her back to us, watching the horizon. I'd quietly excused myself from Emmett and a smirking Alice with every intention of meeting her.
As I'd approached her, she'd spun on her heel abruptly, startling me as we collided. My hands shot out to steady her so she wouldn't fall, and she looked up dazed as she took me in. Her doe eyes were so innocent and shocked at first, and I subtly sucked in an awed breath as my mind tried to ingrain every detail of her face. Before I could let myself get too caught up, I stuck out my hand and nervously introduced myself. The blush that had crept into her cheeks when she'd bumped into me only deepened as she reached for my hand, cutely stumbling over her own name. When our hands connected, an electric wave shifted through my body, and I wasn't sure what had hit me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling it left behind. From that moment, I knew I was completely captivated and would spend the rest of my time on this trip getting to know her. Though I'd never truly believed in it before, a small voice in my head told me that this was absolutely love at first sight.
I was absolutely thrilled when she agreed to get food with me, and my heart thrummed in my chest at the soft sound of her voice. I could listen to her talk all day, and thankfully, I got to as I continued to ask her questions about herself, hoping she would open up further to me. Unlike most girls, she was an enigma I couldn't crack, so impeccably smart yet so shy about herself. It made me enjoy picking up every little detail I could about her. That's why, that first night when we parted ways, I'd promised to meet her for breakfast. The more time I got with her, especially alone, the better as it would allow me to truly know her more and more. I was addicted. And though she'd completely knocked me off my feet earlier today when we'd all hung out by the pool, her in just a tiny string bikini making it hard to control myself, nothing could've prepared me for how amazingly beautiful she looked tonight in that skin tight, black dress and those heels. She could've knocked me over with a feather when she'd greeted me just outside her doorway. Intelligence and beauty, what more could a man ask for?
Snapping back to reality, I realize I've totally lost myself in those thoughts as I stare into her captivating brown eyes. She's like a a drug, and after that first kiss, all I want to do is kiss her again. I can't help myself. She looks like she's about to say something, but I stop her by capturing her lips with mine once more. This time I'm gentler than the last. Her lips still taste sweet from the daiquiri, and I notice again how perfectly they mold to mine. But before I let myself push it any farther, I release her.
"Where to now," she asks curiously.
"Just follow me," I request as I go to lead the way, but she stops me.
She looks at me bashfully when I turn back towards her. "I'm not really a heels girl," she points to her shoes, "Give me minute to get these things off?"
I can't help but chuckle as she leans on my shoulder to slide them off. Once she's holding them in her hand, she sighs in relief, and the sound goes straight to my pants. "Ready?"
"Lead the way," she smiles.
I take her hand in mine again, and hastily, lead the way through the ship's rocking hallways, passing the bustling casino and the closed candy shop. We stop in front of the elevators, and I push the down button, knowing exactly where I want to take her. Stepping into the tiny, empty space, I push the button for my floor and pull her into my side, wanting to be closer to her than just our hands. The romantic tension inside radiates off of us so palpably it can be cut with a knife. I feel her lie her head on my chest contently, and I grin to myself that she feels comfortable enough to do this. As I watch her, this sense of complete peace and happiness washes over me. Mentally, I recognize the fact that it's only been a few days, but my heart realizes that I'm quickly falling for this doe-eyed, intelligent brunette from Forks.
The ding and opening of the silver doors let's us know we've arrived at my floor. I step off first and lead the way down the corridor that smells similarly to the scent they pump through almost every hotel. I stop in front of Emmett's and my door on the left side of the hall and slide my key card out of my pocket. Pausing, I look into her anxious eyes before I slip the card in the lock, opening the door to our suite, which is much bigger than their room. As we step inside, I watch as she takes in the two queen sized beds in the middle of the room and the balcony on the far wall.
"Wow," she breathes in awe. "How'd you guys…"
"Professional soccer player and my dad's a doctor, remember," I smile, tapping my temple playfully.
"Oh, right," she blushes, seeming slightly embarrassed she didn't put two and two together. She sets her shoes on a chair in the corner and continues to take in our cabin.
I slide past her and push the door to the balcony open, the salt air of the sea filling the room. "Care to join me," I motion with my hand, and almost automatically, she follows.
"It's beautiful out here. So peaceful," she says as she gazes out at the giant full moon over the water, leaning against the railing.
"It truly is," I agree, moving beside her. We stand in comfortable silence, enjoying one another's company and the look of the moonlight as it dances along the waves. Finally, I build the confidence to break it. "I know I told you earlier, but you really do look absolutely stunning tonight."
"Thank you, Edward," she looks up at me, cheeks slightly pink.
I want to tell her how one of kind she is. I want to tell her that she literally takes my breath away every time I see her, and that she's the smartest girl I've ever met. I feel this massive urge to let her to know that I'm falling for her completely, but it's only been a matter of days, and I don't want to scare her away. Of course, like the angel she is, she saves me from my panic.
"You know," she starts, and I can tell she's nervous, "I wasn't sure what to expect from this trip. I knew no matter what Alice and I would have a good time, but I definitely didn't expect to find someone, especially someone as amazing as you," she pauses, thinking. "See guys like you don't tend to even look at girls like me, let alone give me a chance. Edward, I'm so grateful to have bumped into you, quite literally, and that you have given me that chance to open up to you. You have made me feel so happy over the past couple of days, and it's truly made me feel like I'm the only girl you see. We have such a connection, and I'm dreading when this trip ends. I don't want to lose you," she looks away, and I notice the way she tries to discretely swipe at her eyes.
My heart swells at her words, and my confidence builds. I want to comfort her and tell her the same. She has made me so happy too, and I want her to know she is the only girl in my world right now. I want to push away those thoughts of the end.
"Bella, I'm so grateful for these past few days too," I agree. "They've been the most fun I've had in a really long time. I've never had a connection with another girl the way I have this one with you. We just click, and I smile so much when I'm around you. Then, after I kissed you, I realized that I can't get enough of you. You're like my own personal brand of heroin, and I just want to be with you all the time, which is why I brought you here," I finally take a deep breath. After spilling my heart, I had one more thing I wanted to add, "Bella, I know this sounds crazy since I've only known you a short time, but I'm falling for you, and I totally understand if you're not—."
She cuts me off by smashing her lips to mine, totally shutting me up and taking me by surprise. I let her take charge as she slowly lets her lips guide mine, and this moment feels so right. "Sorry," she finally pulls back a little breathless, red painting her cheeks, "you just didn't need to finish that sentence because I get it, Edward. That what I was trying tell you, but I chickened out," she takes a deep breath again. "I'm completely and irrevocably falling for you too."
I know it sounds young, crazy, and stupid, but it's all so true. There is something so distinctly passionate and electric between us that it cannot be denied and hearing her feel the same way only makes my heart soar higher. I bring her mouth back to mine. This time our kiss is more heated and urgent. It's like a need that hasn't been satiated in ages, and with just one sweet taste, you're suddenly grasping for more. I pull her body into mine and hold the back of her soft hair with my right hand, trying to cement my words as truth. I draw my tongue against her lips, and she happily grants me entrance. As our tongues battle for dominance, I back her against the glass of the door and hoist her up to wrap her legs around my waist. Though she's light, I'm careful as hold her and push the doors open to the room.
Inside, I lay her down on the plush mattress closest to the door and crawl on top of her, my elbows holding my body weight off of her. I move to kiss down her neck, and she giggles at the sensitive touch before letting out a moan as I reach the soft, hollow where her neck meets her shoulders and suck. As the sound goes straight to my dick, the voice in my head tells me to stop and make sure she wants this. Though she seems eager, she needs to know that it doesn't have to go further if she doesn't want it to, and I'll be okay with leaving it right here. It won't change my feelings for her.
"Bella," I call out breathlessly, looking up to her eyes, so she sees how serious I am. "Bella, this doesn't have to go any further, if you don't want it to. Just say the word and we'll stop. It won't change my feelings for you, I promise."
"Edward, I want this. I want you. All of you. Please," she practically begs, reaching to undo my button down.
"Promise me, if it gets to be too much you'll say so," I make her swear.
"I promise."
Happy with her response, I go back to her body, and this time I make sure to take my time. I want this to be special for us, not just some quickie. I return to kissing along her neck and shoulder, though this time I deliberately cherish every inch of it. I can hear her moaning lowly at the touch, and it spurs me to continue moving along her shoulder. Her hands shakily reach for the buttons of my dress shirt as she attempts to take it off. Sitting up on my knees, I undo them for her, letting it slide off my broad shoulders. I watch as she goes to take her dress off, but stop her hands mid movement. I want to be the one responsible for that. Helping her pull the dress over her head, I then ball it in my hands and toss it to the floor. She tugs at my belt, and happily, gets it undone before unbuttoning and unzipping my pants. I stand at the foot of the bed and let them fall to the floor as I toe off my socks and shoes.
She looks so beautiful sprawled out on my bed in her lingerie. I want to just stand there and admire her, but I don't want to keep my girl waiting. Crawling back onto the bed, I gently nudge myself slightly between her legs. They feel so silky smooth against my skin, and I allow myself to skim my finger tips along them, eliciting a shiver from her.
Wanting more, I dip my head to meet the inside of her knee, and my lips begin their journey upward. The mewling sounds she makes and the way she tries not to writhe underneath me, as my path leaves a burning trail moving closer to the sensitive skin of her inner thigh, only make my dick strain harder against my boxer briefs. She reaches her hands down to grab my shoulders and attempts to hold me in place. Finally, I reach where she wants me most, and I can smell her distinct arousal as she moves her hands to my unruly hair. Her long fingers enclose around the locks on the top of my head and tug lightly as I continue to tease her by kissing where her thigh meets her panty line.
"More," she moans, digging her finger tips further into my scalp.
"Your wish is my command," I reply, lifting my head away from the sweet scent of her core and flashing her my signature lopsided grin.
Lacing my fingers inside the bottoms of her black panties, where I can feel how wet I've made her, I slip them down her legs. I allow one hand to gently caress the inside of her thigh while my lips track up her stomach, wanting to tease her just a moment more to see how long we can both hold out.
"This has got to go," I growl when the fabric of her bra barricades my lips from their journey to her beautiful chest. Not to be deterred, I glide my hand around her back and unhook the clasp like an old pro, pulling it off of her and chucking it somewhere to the side. "Much better," I smirk as I stare at her perky breasts, and she lets out a giggle, slightly confusing me.
"What's so funny?" I'm trying to be sexy and romantic here.
"You. You're just really cute."
"I'll show you cute," I respond as I move to kiss her smiling mouth, my tongue easily being granted access again. This time I control the kiss as I palm her left breast in my hand. Its round shape fits perfectly to the mold of my hand. She groans in my mouth, and I'm not sure I can contain myself much longer as she grasps at my back, trying to gain more friction between us. My mouth finds its way to her now pebbled left nipple that I'd been playing with as I switch to palming her right.
"Oh…oh God," she sighs heavily as my teeth graze and lightly tug at the skin there. "I n—need y—you now," she can barely get the sounds out her "o" shaped lips.
Remembering what I told her just moments ago, I don't keep her waiting. Hastily, I slip my boxer briefs off, finally springing my throbbing erection from its confines. Her eyes meet mine as I line myself up with her soaking center. The gentle nod of her head and look in her eyes tells me she's ready. Carefully, almost achingly slow, I slide myself into her tight warmth, and the connection I'd felt between us before at just the mere touches we'd shared intensifies. The sharp intake of breath that leaves her lips and the way she scrunches her face also don't leave my attention.
"You okay," I ask concerned, knowing I'm above average than the typical male
"Give me minute," she requests breathlessly.
I'm not going to lie, it's hard to control myself from moving. All I want is to ravish her. After a few seconds though, she gives me the 'okay', and I slide back out of her. Setting the pace slowly, my mouth enjoys the taste of hers once more as my hands enjoy softly exploring her body. I can feel her digging her nails into my back as her feet dig into the backs of my thigh.
"Oh…more…more," she chants into the darkness, and I pick up my pace, angling my hips to go just a bit deeper, eliciting another loud moan from her. "Oh…oh, Edward!"
"Fuck, Love," I moan as I pull my lips from where they were sucking on the sweet spot of her neck, "You're so tight."
Her nails drive even further into me as I speed up, basically begging for more friction between us. She so tight, so warm, so perfect, and I feel this all consuming need to love and protect her. Finally, the sounds of our moans and pants replace our kissing as our sweaty bodies move together like magnets.
"I'm not gonna…last…much longer, baby," I barely get out between breaths.
"Me…either," she agrees. Wanting to ensure she gets off, I glide my right hand down her side and over the curve of her thigh before finding the place it wishes to land. Ever so lightly, my index finger and thumb tickle the bundle of nerves hidden away between her legs.
"Oh, Edward! Yes," she practically screams, arching her back to meet my solid chest and breathing heavily. Her walls clamps securely around my cock, milking me for all I'm worth as she rides out her orgasm, and I know I'm going to follow right behind her.
"Bella," I roar as my hips give two hard thrust then still as I cum inside her. Holding myself over her with my arms, I smile down at her spent form and she grins back. We're both breathing heavy, and I can't help but move a strand of her hair from her face, so I can see her better in the moonlight. "That was amazing, love," I whisper before leaving her warmth and lying down next to her.
She nods in agreement as I adjust spoon her into my chest, kissing the top of her messy, brown hair that cascades down her back. As we lie there naked together, I realize again how crazy it sounds, but I know for a fact that I love this girl. She truly is my love at first sight, and I will do whatever it takes to keep our relationship going. I didn't think I was prepared to tell her that, but as her breathing evens out against me, I heard her mumble faintly in her sleep, "Edward, I love you."
My eyes drift shut as I fall asleep a happy man with a giant grin on my face, knowing we're on the same page. I can't wait to spend the rest of this trip and more with her.
Hi, everyone! First of all, I hope you enjoyed Edward's point of view. It was a blast to write, but I hope I didn't make him too much of a sap. Also, I don't have a ton of experience writing lemons, so I hope I did their first time justice. I would love to know your thoughts on how things are playing out with everyone and maybe some ideas of what you'd like to see in the next chapter as that's where I got stumped when writing this last time. Comments mean so much and keep me writing. On the previous chapter, I didn't get too many, so if you wouldn't mind dropping one, that'd be awesome! Until next time...
Happy reading!
