Chapter 4
Bella POV
Sunday passed in a big blurry daze. Riley and I spent time hanging out, dancing…well him wiggling on his butt to the radio and designing Edward's tattoo. Riley had also given me some ideas while he was sitting on my lap while I drew, my iPod playing from the dock.
The main idea that he had originally picked out was a heart, not one of those mushy 3 ones, I mean how it literally looked in the chest, with all the arteries and veins being constricted by barbed wire. He had asked me to re-draw it without the barbed wire, instead placing a leather strap in its place. In the leather strap was a tag dangling off with 'Cullen' written in italic lettering. He had told Alice that all his family wore a symbol of Cullen and he wanted a more permanent one.
I found myself sitting at my desk in Waterfall Tattoos on a dreary Monday morning, daydreaming about Edward and my weekend. I was automatically bouncing Riley on my lap, trying to keep him occupied while I shaded in the drawing, making sure the red and black met perfectly. I really needed to find some one to watch Riley that didn't cost much. Rosalie being a book editor, found herself working from home the majority of the time and she loved having him over but it wasn't really a long-term solution. The bell chimed in the front and I heard Alice's chipper voice greeting the customer.
"Bells, it's for you" She called. I closed my sketchbook and picked it up, taking Riley with me out to the front. I was surprised to see Edward standing opposite the counter having an animated conversation with Alice.
"Our weekend was good thanks. We all went over to Bella's and hung out. You know you should meet everyone sometime soon." I caught the end of their conversation.
"Hey Bella" Edward greeted me. "Alice I'm looking forward to meet everyone whoever everyone is" he laughed, causing me to smile.
"Hey, so what can I do for you" I asked, placing Riley and my sketchbook on the counter.
"Well I was wondering how my tattoo was coming along" he said, running his hand through his hair.
"But I didn't tell you that I was starting it this weekend" I caught him out, causing his cheeks to turn a hint of red.
"Yeah well I wanted an excuse to come see you" he admitted, which in turn then caused me to blush.
"Right so now were both as bright red as tomatoes, I'll say that I think I've finished your design, it just needs your approval." I said, opening my sketchbook to the drawing.
He took some time musing over it, cocking his head to the side. My mind immediately thought he hated it. "If you don't like it I can always change it" I said, looking at Riley to keep myself occupied.
"Bella…It's amazing. How soon can you do it?" he asked, which shocked me. I'd never really had a customer that took to a design first time; they usually had an image in their head and wanted it to look exactly like that.
"Well actually, Bella hasn't got any appointment this afternoon." Alice took this moment to pop herself into our conversation. "And I don't mind looking after Riley. Actually I could take him to Rosalie's for you, I mean…he is staying at their house tonight anyway" she offered.
"Well…if that's ok with you Bella?" Edward asked, raising his eye brow.
"Um yeah" I said in a daze, handing Riley off to Alice and kissing his forehead. "This way" I said, pulling out the drawing from my book and placing it in the scanner to transfer it to transferable paper.
"So where did you want it?" I asked, just realising that I had no idea where I was meant to be placing this tattoo.
"On my chest, just over my heart. I thought that was probably the right place for it" he said.
"Ok. Take your top off and get settled on the chair, is this your first tattoo?" I realised that I hadn't even asked him that. I hadn't seen any indications to any tattoo but he may have kept them hidden, like I did except the one that was a reminder of Riley but I had been wearing jumpers recently because of the cold.
"No it's not. I've got 5; this will make it 6" he said as I turned back around. I stopped, distracted by the gorgeous, half naked man in the room. My eyes raked over his chest, taking in every detail from the 6 pack that he had been hiding underneath his shirts and the very prominent V that was cut off by his trousers. It was then that I noticed the Celtic flame like design running over his shoulder and upper arm, not noticeable from where he had been wearing his t-shirt. "Seen something you like?" He said. I immediately turned beetroot red, looking at the floor
"Oh shut it Cullen" I said, pushing him back so that he was lying down. I transferred the design and got him to check it so that it was exactly where he wanted it. I placed the ink into the gun and was about to start but thought I'd get comfortable. I pulled off my hoodie and dropped it into the corner, pulling my hair back into a low-side ponytail and sat on the stool, leaning over Edward's chest.
"You better be brave, I don't want to ruin one of my best designs yet" I said as I started up the gun and pressed the needle to his chest, starting on the outline.
"So why is Riley going to your brothers?" Edward asked. I wiped up some of the ink and carried on.
"Well Emmett and Rosalie are trying for a kid and want the practise, plus they think I need a break every once in a while. My Mom is controlling and kinda laid into me at the weekend but you know life goes on" I explained, carrying on.
"Well from what I've seen, you're a great Mom Bella" He said, I hid a smile that forced its way to the surface, wiping away at the ink. "Nice tat by the way" he added.
"Thanks but it's really simple, but that's just cause I didn't need anything fancy to remember Riley by" I said. I looked up at saw him staring at my shoulder blade, forgetting that I was wearing a tank top. It simply said 'Riley Taylor, 9/15/09, 8.34AM'. It was simple but that was what I like about it.
"You got any more?" He asked. I blushed; my other tattoos were in places where I had to remove clothing.
"I have 4 altogether" I replied "but their hidden" I said, finishing the outline. I hadn't noticed that it had grown dark outside.
"Oh come on Bella. I'll show you mine if you show me yours" he said winking. I burst out into a fit of giggles which he returned. We sat laughing for how long I don't know. I had finished the outline and he needed to come back for it to be coloured, which was even better because then I'd get to be able to see him again. I rubbed some cream over the ink and taped gauze over it.
"I don't think I need to go over care do I? Since you've got so many" I said, pulling the gloves off my hands and placing them in the bin. I spun back around and found Edward extremely close. In fact, my eyes were in line with the middle of his chest which ironically, was still bare.
"I've decided from now on, you're the only person allowed to ink me because the feel of your hands on me nearly makes me cum in my pants" he said.
I felt him place his hand on the side of my face, pulling my face up to his, looking him straight in the eyes. He leaned down, pressing his lips to mine. I raised my arms and linked them around his neck, pulling him closer. I liked the heat of his lips against mine. I felt his tongue begging for entrance and I allowed in access. Feeling his tongue swirl around my mouth as his hands moved down to my hips. He walked us backwards until I felt my back hit the wall. His hands moved under my butt and I felt him lift me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. The kiss became deeper and rushed, like I couldn't get enough of him. His hand started to wander up my shirt.
My mind suddenly started to work again. We couldn't to his here. Jake was in his office in the next room, I didn't want to fuck him in this bloody sterilized room with the risk of getting caught and fired. I wanted to fuck him, yeah but not here.
"Edward wait" I gasped, breaking the heated kiss. "Not here. I'm finished for the day" I said, gaining back my breath.
"Your place or mine?" He asked, pulling his top over his head.
"Well yours in closer but mine has heating" I said, pulling on my jumper. I swung open the door and walked over to the reception. Edward and I exchanged glances all the time. I sorted out another appointment for him and grabbed my bag.
"Jake, I'm off. Remember tomorrow is my morning off." I said, sticking my head into the office.
"Oh yeah, Where's Alice?" He asked, not looking up from his paperwork.
"Um she's gone to Emmett's I think. She was on only this morning. Bye Jake" I said. I turned around and once again saw Edward standing rather close. His hand found mine and he pulled me along, his eyes had darkened with passion, turning from their usual piercing green to a dark, wooden green.
XoXo
As soon as I stepped out of Edward's car and opened up my apartment door, I was lift up into Edward's arms, pushing back against the wall. He kicked the door shut with his foot, causing it to slam with a loud bang. Thank God Riley wasn't here, that would sure have set him off.
I placed my feet back on the floor, dropping my bag. I ran my fingers along the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head, dropping it onto the floor. His mouth was back on mine immediately and his hands were rubbing my lower back.
"Bella I feel like I barely know you but this feel so right" Edward said against my lips and I couldn't help but say something along the lines of 'mmh' in response.
"Bedroom" I mumbled as Edward pulled off my jumper, dropping it on the sofa as we walked past. Once again, he kicked the door shut. His hands running along the hem of my t-shirt before he ripped it over my head.
"Bella" kiss "you" kiss "are" kiss "so" kiss "beautiful" He said between kisses. I could help but feel beautiful, just like he said.
He pushed me backwards over my bed and I felt my knee hit the bed, Edward continued to climb on top of me, not even breaking the heated kiss. I linked my arms around his neck and he wrapped one arm around my waist pulling my back off the bed and closer to him.
His hand reached up to the clasp of my bra, quickly releasing me from the confines of the material. I used to be a C, but since I had Riley, I had grown from a C to an E. He ran his hands over my breast and down to my hip, running his finger over another of my tattoos. It was of a Swallow, I know…very ironic but it was carrying a piece of material in his beak that had 'Bella' written on it. He leaned down and kissed the skin it covered and my breathing hitched.
"So I've seen two of your tattoo's…guess I get to find the other two now…" his horse voice said.
"But I've only seen one of yours…not counting the one I did today so I guess it's my turn" I said, pushing Edward over onto his back and straddling his lap. I pulled him up so that he was sitting up and kissed him passionately. His arms started wandering over my breasts, pulling one into his mouth.
I groaned in pleasure at the feel of his tongue sweeping over my nipple. His breath became rushed. "Bella you can find my tattoos later. I need you now." Commanding Edward was damn sexy. He grabbed my hips and flipped me over, pulling off my jeans, panties and socks all in one motion, revealing even more tattoos. He picked up my left leg and kissed his way up to the tattoo. This was another one of my favourites. His finger traced the black outlining of the broken Bell that graced the top of my thigh. He then picked up my right leg and kissed the ribbon that wrapped around my ankle, reminding me of my old dancing days, also reminding me never to dance again.
Before I knew it, Edward's pants were thrown onto the floor along with my own clothing. He kissed along my neck, grazing my jaw line. Kissing and nibbling on my earlobe.
"Ed-wait" I gasped breathlessly. I pushed him back at abit and he looked upset.
"I'm sorry…I thought-" I cut him off by pressing my lips to his.
"I just need to get a condom Edward. I love Riley but cannot take care of another child" I joked. Suddenly my mind was filled with me…having Edward's baby. I shook my head, clearing that thought and focused on the present. I leaned up on my elbows as Edward hovered above me. Lust filled his eyes again as I reached into my bedside cabinet and pulled out a foil wrapper. I put it in between my teeth and tore it open…ok I swear I just heard Edward growl. Oh I liked that. I put my hand in between us and felt his length…oh shit, man he was huge. I rolled the condom down and it just about made it to his base.
I placed my hands around his neck and he placed himself at my entrance. He pushed forward gently and I felt my walls widen to accommodate his width and length.
"Oh shit Bella. Your fucking tight as fuck" Edward gasped into my neck where he had buried his head, kissing my neck.
"Oh fuck…" he stilled when I felt his thighs meet my entrance, meaning that he had full sheathed himself in me. He started moving slowly and it was so taunting. "Faster Edward" was all I had to say before he was slamming himself into my repeatedly, our lips met in rushed kisses and I could feel the pressure rising in the pit of my stomach.
We only stopped to gasp for air, stupid oxygen…he reached for a strand of hair that had fallen in front of my face behind her ear but I faltered just before my hand reached it. I leaned in and kissed his lips passionately.
My fingers dug roughly into the muscle on his shoulders as the pleasure rumpled through me. Groaning deeply at the sensation, I made sure that I was being as painfully, tantalizingly as possible. The tips of my fingers gently grazed her cheek, the heat rolling off it only fuelled my hormones more but it was the groan that escaped Bella's lips that nearly pushed me over the edge as I brought my hand back up to her face.
Edward pulled almost all the way out of me before he slammed his entire length back into me, every time getting harder and faster. My breathing started to get quicker, my nails digging deeper into the muscles in his back. I was clinging to him like my life depended on him, which earnt a deep gutter groan from him. Hearing his ragged breathing in my ear as he placed kisses along my jaw line and neck as he continued to thrust into me completely made me even more turned on than I thought possible…And I thought sex with Tyler was good. That was nothing compared to this.
He pace quickened and I dragged my tongue over his own salty skin. With every hard thrust, he nibbled at my neck, surely going to leave marks and he kept swapping from sucking at my skin to biting me.
"Jesus Bella…Oh fuck" he grunted. He moaned once more and our panting became timed with my own as Edward's grip hardened around my waist, pulling us ever-closer, forcing him deeper and harder within me. I felt him hit my G-spot and I let out a guttural groan along with many other profanities.
I closed my eyes as his head fell onto my shoulder. Just listening to the sounds of his pleasure coming from him…it was so damn hot. Fuck that – it was the fucking hottest thing I had ever heard. My hands worked their way through his hair, causing to look even more like sex hair because now it was literally sex hair. I gripped his hair in my hands and pulled us face to meet my own. Our tongues continued to battle for dominance, our mouths crashing together like it was necessary to have every inch of skin touching each other.
I felt as my walls clenched around him, causing my body to shudder and I was trying to hold back the building pressure and passion that was boiling inside me. I could feel my climax coming back and I hoped he wasn't too far behind.
He continued at the speed he was thrusting at but then surprised me by reaching down towards where we were connected and he circled by swollen bud roughly with his thumb. I gasped against his lips, slightly pulling away from him and closing my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw Edward watching me intently, my mouth fell open and I could hear the deep, haggard sounds coming from within me. He rubbed my clit harder and faster.
"Edward…Don't…Stop…" I was barely able to string those three words together because of the passion.
Like he had any intention of stopping this close. I thought.
He placed one hand beside my head, propping himself up while the other continued to work my clit. I writhed underneath him, squirming because of the pressure. He made me much worse by pushing harder into me, slamming me into the bed.
"Oh Fuck Edward!" I bellowed as my orgasm reached its peak.
"Oh shit!" he gasped. "Bella you're fucking astonishing" he gasped. He laid his head on my shoulder and panted.
"Yeah you're pretty amazing too" I gasped, trying to claim back my breath. Edward moved to the side of me, pulling me closer to his chest. He grabbed the discarded blankets and pulled them round us. He lay on his back and I snuggled into his side, laying my head on his chest, listening to his erratic heartbeat slowly starting to go back to normal.
"What the time?" I asked, wondering how long our little…romp had taken. I didn't have the energy to move.
"It's just before 11.30" he said, checking the bedside cabinet. He wrapped his arms back around me pulled me closer.
"So what does this mean for us?" I asked, hoping that he wasn't just another fuck. I really wanted Edward to stay around.
"Well I definitely want to do that again so that means I'm definitely staying around you and I can't forget Riley" he said. "That's if you want it too" he added.
I moved my head so that I was looking up into his green pools.
"I absolutely want to stay around me and Riley. I think that little boy loves you already." I said, closing my eyes.
"Oh really, just one more person to convince then" he said and I swear I heard him wrong but I didn't have the energy to question it. I snuggled deeper into his embrace and warmth. I felt the darkness enclosing around me and I felt his arms pull me closer.
