Here's the next chapter!
I searched for his lips once again, and he firmly picked me up in his arms….
Edward's strong arms held me close to his chest, and our lips moved together, my warm ones shaping themselves around his cool marble ones. My feet dangled inches above the ground, and I wrapped my arms securely around Edward, playing with the hairs on his neck, causing him to shiver and deepen the kiss.
When I broke away moments later, gasping for breath, Edward settled me securely on the cool marble counter top. I reached for his neck again, bringing his lips back to mine. He paused briefly before kissing me, searching into my eyes. My heart stuttered as he crashed his lips onto mine. One of his hands tangled in my hair; the other began at my knee, and slowly slid up my thigh. I tightened my hold around his neck, willing this moment to continue.
Edward released my lips and continued down my neck, kissing along my collarbone, pressing his lips to the hollow beneath my throat. His hand continued up my leg, stopping at the hem of my pajama shorts. I shivered; he continued his kisses down my arms, before returning to my lips. He kissed me with renewed fervor and urgency, abandoning all pretenses, all his usual restraint.
"Bella?" Charlie's voice sounded just outside the door. "Can I come in?" I gasped; Edward pulled me swiftly off the counter, spun me towards the mirror, and disappeared behind the shower curtain without a sound. I started splashing water on my face.
"Come in," I said through the towel I pressed to my face. Charlie entered the bathroom, confused to see me up this early.
"W-w-why are you awake so early?" he asked, attempting but failing to suppress a large yawn.
I decided now the truth would be the best option, seeing as my bruised chin would not go unnoticed. "I fell out of bed," I mumbled, blushing. I thought I heard Edward chuckle from behind the curtain.
"Oh. Are you okay?" he asked, concerned, but not altogether surprised that I had, yet again, managed to hurt myself.
"Yep. Nothing to worry about," I answered.
"Well, try to be more careful from now on," he added as he turned to go. I nodded.
"I think I'll just take a shower."
