Hello! I'm back again. It's been a while right?

My stupid computer decided to die on me so i had to get a new one; losing the first version of this chapter in the process!

I just sat for 2 hours and knocked this one out tonight. I kind of prefer it to the first draft because there's more lemony goodness.

Yes! Lemons! You heard me right.

So this is where it starts to get M.

My first attempt at writing smut so I'm pretty embarrassed right now.

Would really appreciate your opinions in the reviews!

So now go forth and read some smutty E/B goodness my lovelies.

Chapter 7: Compromise

(Bella POV)

Was this really happening?

Was I really sitting on my sofa, curled up in Edwards arms?

Yes Bella. Breathe.

We eventually moved into the lounge, never letting go of one another.

Edward continued to tell me it was ok, that we were going to be fine and I believed him.

We were sat on my sofa, my head buried into his neck and his arms wrapped around me, stroking my arm, soothing me.

We finally regained our composure. No more tears, down to business.

Edward pushed me back from him slightly so he could see my face,

"Bella, we should talk…right?"

"Uh, yeah we should." I let out a stupid, nervous laugh.

"OK well…" He paused, looking directly into my eyes and smiling that irresistible smile. The one that always stopped me being angry or sad, the one that I had to smile at in return.

I stared up at him not knowing what the hell he was thinking.

"Edward? What are yo---"

"I just forgot how incredibly perfect you are…" He shook his head, letting out a sigh.

"God Bella…how did I ever let myself walk away from you?"

"I don't know how I let you."

He reached out to stroke my cheek with the back of his finger, sending all my nerve endings into overdrive.

"I missed that, you turn such a beautiful shade of embarrassed."

Oh great, blushing. He always managed to do that to me.

"Uh thanks?" I laughed awkwardly.

"You really have no concept of the affect you have on people do you?"

I hated being complimented by such a god. I felt less than perfect sitting next to him. I had been surrounded by the most attractive people I had ever come across for the past 5 years. Alice and Rosalie were like supermodels, all beautiful hair and never-ending legs. Even Emmett and Jasper were painfully gorgeous. I felt so plain next to them.

"Huh…no, I don't I guess." I could feel my cheeks growing warmer.

His finger still moved in slow circles on my cheek, he looked serious now; his brow set in a frown.

He inched closer to me, so close I could feel his warm, sweet breath on my face. Edwards lips were barely inches away from mine. My heartbeat should have just ripped out of my chest at this point.

I stared into his glittering eyes, looking for a reason not to lean in and press my lips to his. Both of our breathing was getting heavier, his palm now cupped the side of my face.

"Bella I need you" he whispered, painful emphasis on the word 'need'

He moved closer, literally one inch away from a kiss. I could taste him already.

This was wrong though, we had barely said anything to one another.

How did I know this was more than just a fleeting visit?

I closed my eyes, knowing that if I continued to look at him this closely, all control would be lost.

"Edward stop. We need to talk first…before we do something we regret."

I opened my eyes. One side of his mouth was pulled up into a smirk. He cocked one eyebrow

"Regret?"

I slapped his hand away from my face playfully.

"Seriously Edward! We have to sort this out."

He took a deep breath, his face serious now. He took both of my hands in his and placed them in his lap.

"Let me start OK?"

I nodded enthusiastically.

"You are the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, kind and breathtaking person I have ever come across. For 365 days I've been lost without you."

He took another deep breath

"I will do whatever it takes to be with you again. I'll move anywhere in the world for you. I hate California Bella; it's not for me. I miss the cold and the wet and friendly people. And most of all, I miss you. I love you so much, I never stopped and never will."

I was dumbfounded.

"I feel exactly the same. I love you so much; I couldn't breathe without you. I don't want you to say yes unless your sure but…move to Seattle with me."

I felt a tear escape down my cheek. Edward's finger caught it before it got much further.

"Like I said…I will follow you anywhere, love."

(Edward POV)

So I just agreed to move to Seattle with the girl of my dreams.

Was it really that easy?

"Bella, I just want you to know that I never meant to hurt you. I only left because I thought it's what you needed to make you take that job, to be your own person. You were right, I was so caught up in my own life I never thought about you. Just that you would be with me and I'd be happy."

"But all those horrible things I said to you…."

"Like I said, you were right."

Bella's eyes were watering, more tears ready to spill. I just wanted to take away every ounce of pain that I had caused when I left.

"Bella it's all going to be fine now. I made a stupid mistake, I left you thinking my life would work out fine once I moved and never have I been more miserable."

"But what about your parents? The hospital? It's what you've always wanted..."

I shook my head sharply,

"Silly Bella, you are what I've always wanted. What fun is it without you to share it with? I can get a job in Seattle with Carlisle's contacts easily. It's done, all it would take is a phone call. I'm here and I'm not leaving again. Your stuck with me."

A smile crept onto Bella's delicious lips.

"So were really doing this?"

I smiled in return

"Were really doing this. And I swear I will never hurt you again."

"I feel like we've left stuff out but…I don't know what."

"Bella?"

"Yeah?"

"Stop worrying."

And with that I finally filled the space that was between us, my lips met hers with passion that had been waiting for it's release for a year.

(Bella POV)

I felt the electricity spark between us. My chest heaved in a breath of relief.

Edward sighed against my lips, his hands framing my face while mine worked their way through his tousled bronze hair. I pulled at him, ensuring his lips were hard on mine, our tongues sweeping over each other's and the kiss became more passionate.

His hand's travelled from my face, brushed down my neck and stopped at my shoulders. He pushed off my shirt gently, brushing the skin on my arms as he went.

My hands left his hair to unbutton his shirt; still kissing, not wanting to leave his lips for any reason. I ran my fingers over his sculptured chest, remembering feel of his warm skin. All the time, our lips moving together in perfect unity.

Edward pulled back from me and stared deep into my eyes before pushing me back so I was lying on the sofa. He hovered above me, his arms either side of my body holding himself up so we weren't touching.

"Edward please" I was almost begging for him to close the gap between us again.

He quickly lowered himself down to me, his hand running up and down my side underneath my raised tank top.

His lips met mine again; this time the kiss was slow and deep.

I remembered all the dreams I had about kissing him while he had been away from me.

Real Edward was so much better at this than dream Edward.

My fingers dug into his chest, making him let out a pleasurable hiss.

He pulled his mouth from mine. He leaned down to my ear and started to nibble at it.

"Tell me to stop Bella." He whispered breathily.

"I wish you would stop talking and kiss me again already!" I hissed.

He laughed.

"Your wish is my command Miss Swan."

He knew exactly what I wanted and I knew he wanted it too.

He cupped his hand around the back of my neck, pulling my face up so our lips met in the middle.

This time the kiss was more urgent, his tongue working around mine furiously.

His hand moved from my face and worked its way back down my body, leaving the hairs standing on end in the trail of his touch. My shirt was long gone so he started to work on my tank top; pushing it up past my bra slowly then running his hands over my bare torso.

His shirt was still hanging open, just one button down by his stomach holding it in place. I quickly grabbed at it and pushed off so it fell in a heap on the arm of the sofa.

I ran my hands over his strong, tensed shoulders and down his rippling chest; stopping just as my fingers met his belt buckle. He pulled away from our kiss to look deep into my eyes. I sat up on my elbows, my nose was brushing the end of his. I never lost contact with his stare as I pulled the tank top over my head, practically throwing it halfway across the room.

I laid back down, still staring into those piercing green eyes ; they were burning into me and I could see the desire and the love he had for me behind them.

"What are you waiting for?" I asked cheekily, gesturing for him to come back down to me.

His mouth lifted into a smirk. He started to place lingering, soft kisses on my stomach, working his way up to my collarbone, lightly nibbling on the thin skin there.

"You taste amazing right here…." He moved down so his mouth was lingering between my breasts.

"And here…" Now he was back up to meet my lips, "And most of all right…here."

I groaned as he pulled my tongue into his mouth, lifting my hips in desperation, begging for some friction.

I felt around for his buckle once more, struggling to undo it while he was kissing me so passionately.

He noticed what I was trying to do.

"Want some help with that?"

I pushed him back, straddling him.

I undid the buckle and pulled at the belt, it made a whoosh sound as it released from the loops. He lifted his bottom half off of the sofa, helping me pull down his jeans and discarding them onto the floor beside us.

Now I could very clearly see how hard he was, straining against his boxers. I felt rather smug in that moment, knowing that I did that to him.

Edward stared at me, his mouth hanging open slightly.

"That's not fair. Now I have less clothes on than you."

"Do something about it then" I fluttered my eyelashes at him, brushing my fingers along the rim of his boxers.

He unbuttoned my jeans, going painfully slow, my desire growing by the second to the point of uncontrollable. I stood up off of the sofa, drawing them off over my hips and flicking them to the side with a kick to speed up the pace a bit. I couldn't bare to not be touching him much longer.

Edward pulled me back down so I was straddling him again.

I ran my fingers all over his body, tracing his toned chest muscles that he had obviously been working on more since we had been apart. I remember them being firm but damn, not this firm. I reached the smooth patch of hair that led down past his boxers, dipping my hand underneath and grabbing his cock, working it slowly.

A tiny, but noticeable, shudder shook through his body, his head tipped back and his eyes closed so his thick lashes brushed on his face.

"God Bella…"

After it obviously became unbearable for him, he suddenly sat up, pulling me down so that I was once again underneath him.

"Where was I?" He said with a smirk,

Beginning with my lips, he kissed me so that all rational thoughts left my brain.

His hands roamed along my hips and down my thighs, coming back up and placing a single finger underneath the band of my panties; trailing it back and forth, teasing me to the point of no return.

"Fuck…" I mumbled amidst a moan.

He stopped teasing and practically ripped them off.

I bent my knees, bringing them up to his side and grinding myself against his boxers.

He let out a deep, almost primal, growl that sent shivers all over my body as I yanked at them, pulling them down as far as I could.

He helped me out, eagerly pulling them off over his feet and throwing them onto the already pretty big pile of clothing that was on the floor by the coffee table. My bra followed soon after that.

He edged his way back up to me, leaving hot kisses from my ankles to my collarbone.

My eyes met his once more before his body completely took mine over. I gave a sigh of relief as I finally felt him inside me after all this time. I placed one hand on his back and the other cupped his cheek.

His strong hands we holding onto my hips, steadying himself on me as he slowly rocked back and forth.

"Oh god Edward…" His name falling from my lips in a sigh.

He leaned in for a kiss once more, slowly circling his fingers around my hip bone.

The kiss grew heavier and his thrusts were more in rhythm; like his body remembered how perfectly it fit with mine.

He stopped kissing me and placed his forehead against mine, looking deep into my eyes and never losing focus.

Both of my hands were now on his back, digging my fingers into his skin with each thrust.

He was careful and gentle, drawing out each in and out motion with painful precision. I kept arching my back, begging for a faster connection but he just pushed my hips back down to the sofa, not giving in.

"Ungh, Edward…faster"

I could feel his control wavering, sweat breaking out on his forehead and trickling down the side of his face. He was trying so hard to be slow, make it last, but I had other ideas.

I wanted to be taken over by him, as painfully good as this felt I wanted more.

His muscles tightened, pulling out again. I groaned at the lack of contact, arching, begging for him to enter me once more.

I placed my lips to his ear and whispered amongst a groan of pleasure,

"God Edward…I love you so much."

He let out a heaving breath, taking my face in his hands and staring deep into my eyes.

He growled and that's when I knew I was done for.

All control left his body and he plunged into me with continuous, fast thrusts.

I pulled my feet up and dug them into his back, hitting a new, deeper angle as he thrust into me. He felt it too, hissing with pleasure as I ran my nails down his back.

He pushed his hands underneath me, arching me up so our chests were touching.

Hitting new spots I never knew I had.

"Ungh…yes Bella!"

He started to nibble at my collarbone, I clawed at his back some more before losing all sense of reality as he placed his hand between us and started to massage my clit with his thumb.

I threw my head back and practically let out a scream, I was so close now.

Edward placed me back down to the sofa and looked into my eyes, quickening the pace of his thrusts and of his circling thumb. My hands moved up to grab at his hair, pulling his face closer to mine; our sweaty foreheads touching.

"Ah! I---I'm…Oh god!"

My whole body started to quiver, every nerve-ending on high alert. I moaned his name as my climax took me over. Edward continued to thrust into me, sending yet another tingle of pleasure through my body.

I felt him twitch inside of me as he released, his lips crushing into mine as he let out a cry of pleasure against my mouth. His piercing eyes never leaving mine for even a second.

He finally slumped down on top of me, nestling his head into my neck. Our hearts beat furiously against each other's chests as we regained sense of reality.

I laid perfectly still; convinced my body had stopped working. I turned my head to the side and kissed the top of Edward's head, stroking his back lightly with my tingling fingertips.

(Edward POV)

Everything was numb.

From my toes to my fingers, all I felt was the remaining tingle of pleasure as it slowly left my body.

I laid on top of Bella for a few minutes while I waited for my joints to wake up. Just inhaling the sweet scent of her lilac skin. I was pretty sure I didn't smell that good after what we just did.

I heard Bella let out a little giggle, I lifted my head to look at her. She was glowing; a huge smile was spread across her delicious lips and I couldn't help but smile back.

I positioned myself next to her, snuggling her into my chest. I pulled the blanket that was folded over the back of the sofa down so it covered her.

"I didn't expect that…" She giggled, nuzzling my neck.

"Wow." Was all I managed to blurt out.

"I know…right? Wow." Another giggle left her lips.

I placed my finger under her chin and lifted her face up to look at me.

"I love you Bella."

"I love you too."

She smiled that irresistible smile once more and I kissed away a tear that fell down her cheek.

And there we have it!
