Chapter 6: Declarations and dessert

BPOV

Suddenly every thought of love I had for Edward crystallized into a puddle of desire in the pit of my stomach. This was the sign.

I hadn't been waiting for him to tell me that he loved me, but now that we had both said it, I wanted to embrace it fully.

Edward was stoking the fire in me by placing little kisses down my jaw before nipping at my chin and parting my lips with his tongue, causing me to moan and immediately grant him entrance so we could deepen our kiss. I closed my eyes and savored the moment, the feeling of his tongue connecting with mine. His hands weren't even on me yet and I felt like I could explode. I had never been so turned on by one kiss, by one declaration. But, then again, I had never been in love before.

I vaguely remembered we were in public. Not just a public place, but the tiniest of bars and I could feel every pair of eyes in the room on us. Even the woman playing the piano hadn't begun again; she, too, was in a trance, staring at us as I opened my eyes.

Edward must have had the same thought as me at that moment because he stepped back, his head still inclined toward mine and my bottom lip still in his teeth. He let out a hiss of frustration as his lips left mine and I whimpered.

"Bella." He whispered, as if he were saying my name for the first time.

"Edward."

"We should . . .go . . . home. . .now." His breathing was labored and his hands were balled into fists.

We barely said thank you and goodbye to Alice and Jasper on our way out. I blew Alice a kiss and she winked at me but Edward's hand was on the small of my back, propelling me forward. It was clear he had a mission and it was the same as mine.

We hopped in the car and I closed my eyes, trying to stay in the moment of our kiss, of our declaration and also not daring to look at the speedometer as Edward kept pressing the gas pedal harder and taking turns way too quickly.

Not that I would protest Edward's driving because, as I imagined he was also thinking, I wanted to get to my condo as soon as possible. He wasn't even touching me but the desire between us was palpable in the small space of the car.

I thought about the million things I had been waiting to do Edward, I thought about his hands on me, in me . . . everywhere and the desire sparked earlier traveled down my body, my spine tingling and wetness pooling between my thighs.

My fantasies were that much closer to reality when Edward finally parked. He was opening my door before I could even open my eyes, his fingers lingering on my bare shoulder as I stepped out of the car and into his arms. He took the briefest moment then to just hold me, burying his nose in my hair.

I didn't want to wait and I interlaced my fingers with his, pulling him to my building and punching in my code as quickly as possible. We were in the elevator, and I pinned him against the back wall, wrapping my arms around his neck and slightly parting his legs with my foot so I could lean flush against him. He put his arms around my waist, pulling me as close as possible and I could feel his arousal. I was fervently kissing his neck, ready to use my teeth to make him moan again when the elevator came to a halt.

It was Edward's turn now to pull me out of the elevator, kissing my wrist and dancing his fingertips along the underside of my arm as we rushed to my door. Goosebumps prickled my skin as Edward lazily traced circles in the crook of my arm, bending his head and sucking on my pulsating skin.

I was fumbling for my keys in anticipation when Edward plucked them from my purse, inserting them in the door and turning the key to open it in one smooth movement.

"I guess you want in, Edward." I said, teasing him and pushing him all the way inside before locking the door behind us and walking over to him as he leaned on the console table in my foyer, staring at me with very hungry eyes.

He bent his finger at me, motioning me to come closer.

"Come here, Bella."

Bella was trying to kill me by walking as slowly as she could. She looked down right before she was close enough for me to pull her into my arms and surely noticed my massive erection. I was trying to wait for her—to make her come to me—but the more slowly she walked, swinging her hips with each step, the more painfully hard I became.

I took a step closer to her and scooped her up into my arms, splaying my palms over her ribs and taking my time to trace each one individually. She shivered and I bent my face to her neck, breathing in her scent. She smelled like freesias and strawberries just the same as the first time, and I still wasn't immune; I was instantly intoxicated every time.

Ever so gently, I moved my hands down the curves of her body before gripping her hips and pulling her close to me so she could feel just how much I wanted her. I wanted her so urgently that my cock was pulsing with each moan she let escape her lips while I kissed from the curve of her neck to her collarbone. And yet, I knew I had to take my time.

I wanted to worship her tonight before I possessed every inch of her body. I had to show her that she had my heart now, even if we had already said it.

She fisted her hands in my hair then and I wanted to rip her shirt off so I could start kissing her lower but I regained my control. Instead I pulled her shirt up and out of her skirt, looking into her eyes for confirmation before I skimmed the skin of her bare stomach with my fingertips for the first time. I made circles with my thumbs up her sides, stopping when I could feel the lace of her bra.

"Edward, don't stop."

She arched her body into my hands, and I continued making circles along the sides of her breasts before cupping her left breast in my hand while I rolled her right nipple in my fingers. She was panting now and I bit the inside of my cheek to, again, stop myself from tearing off her shirt right then.

I realized we hadn't moved from the foyer and that I really needed to lay Bella on her bed to fully appreciate her. Before I could make any move, she reached under her shirt, placing her hand over mine, dragging my hand down along her ribs and interlacing our fingers as she pivoted toward the bedroom. She glanced back at me then, her eyes lidded with desire and I couldn't stop from licking my lips.

We entered the bedroom and Bella turned to face me, her hands perched at the hem of her blouse as if she were ready to take it off.

"Bella . . ." I trailed, moving closer to her and placing my hand on her wrist to stop her. She looked at me questioningly before her expression turned to one of hurt.

I shook my head at her. "No, Bella, let me." She smiled at me and I had to stop for a minute to catch my breath before I moved my hands to her hips. I brushed my hands underneath her blouse, up and down her sides, before stopping at the hem and lifting it up over her head in one movement.

I was entirely focused on the fire in Bella's eyes as her blouse slipped from my fingers.

Again, I had to remind myself to breathe as I took in Bella's creamy skin. She was stilling me with her beauty but I wanted to touch her too badly to stop myself now.

I took her hands in mine as I looked into her eyes, before speaking. "Do you trust me?"

She bit her lip and nodded yes, the fire in her eyes now dancing in anticipation.

"I need to hear it from you, Bella."

"I trust you, Edward."

I kissed her lips, lightly, smiling into her mouth. "I love you."

She swayed then, her knees weak.

She stepped back, her knees hitting the foot of the bed before she sat, still biting her lip and driving me insane.

Perfect, I thought.

I knelt in front of her, taking her right leg and gliding my hands down her calf, taking off her shoe and tickling the ball of her foot.

She giggled, throwing her head back and I turned my attention to her left calf, grazing it with my knuckles before slipping off her other shoe.

I skimmed my hands up the sides of her legs, my hands gripping the sides of her thighs tightly when I smelled her desire. My pants were growing tighter by the second.

"Stand up for me, Bella."

I was still kneeling, my hands reaching up to hold onto the sides of her thighs to steady her as she stood.

I reached around her, zipping down her skirt. It fell down her hips a little before I eased it all the way down her legs and she stepped out of it.

I looked up at her then, my gaze locking with hers as I trailed my fingers up the back of her knees, stopping to grip the backs of her thighs.

"Stop teasing me, Edward." She said, looking down at me and biting her lip again.

"I'm not teasing you, Bella, I'm worshiping you."

She sighed as I kissed the arch of her left foot then, my mouth making its way up her calf to the inside of her knee before I lingered at the inside of her thigh, my tongue tracing a line between freckles.

I eased her back down on the bed, lying her down so I could repeat my trail of kisses up her right leg, stopping at the juncture of her thigh.

She was squirming beneath me now and she smelled so good this close; I had to remind my throbbing cock that right now was all about Bella, tempted as I was to take her now. Instead I kissed her over her underwear, my mouth sucking at her sweetness through the lace.

I moaned louder than Bella then, ready and wanting to taste her completely.

"Edward?" She stammered, my head still buried between her thighs.

"Mmmm, yes, Bella?" I continued sucking on her clit through the fabric, my fingers dancing on the edge of her panties, ready to pull them off.

"I think it's time for you to take off your clothes, too."

"Not yet, Bella. I'm not done yet." I knew the sooner I took off my clothes, the harder it would be to control myself. I had to show Bella that I was at her altar tonight.

I made the mistake of looking at her, though, and she was pouting her lips.

"Please, Edward?"

She sat up, her hands poised to grab my belt buckle.

"Whatever you want, Bella."

She didn't hesitate now, reaching for my belt and unbuckling it as quickly as she could before her tiny fingers danced over the button of my pants.

She popped the button, unzipping my pants, and just knowing her hand was so close nearly made me lose it again.

"Take them off, Edward." She said, starting on the top buttons of my shirt next.

I stood, slipping off my shoes and dropping my pants before quickly finishing Bella's work on my shirt. I tossed it off and looked at her, her eyes growing wide as she stared at me, standing before her in nothing but my boxers.

"Take it all off, Edward." She said, her voice heavy.

I couldn't refuse her even if I wanted to and I slid off my boxers, releasing my rock-hard cock.

Quickly her hands were on the sides of her underwear, slithering them down her legs and tossing them at me. She giggled as I caught them, stepping toward her at the foot of the bed and reaching around her back to unclasp her bra.

She arched forward, the straps falling down her arms and I slid them off, dropping both the bra and panties as Bella leaned all the way back so that she was lying on the bed.

I rested on my forearms, hovering above her, my cock twitching as it touched the bare skin of her stomach, and then I was finally kissing her again.

BPOV

Edward and I were finally naked. He had been teasing me all night and although it was exquisite torture, I was now so wet that I needed nothing else but Edward inside of me.

His lips were caressing mine, his tongue entering my mouth and stroking my tongue urgently—our kisses imitating what we both wanted.

I moaned into his mouth, my fingers trailing down his spine before resting on his butt and squeezing it—hard.

I wrapped my legs around the back of his calves, forcing him to move down slightly and pinning him there so the head of his cock was pulsing right at my slit.

I started touching myself, my hand brushing against Edward's cock as I moved my fingers up and down my clit.

Edward tore his lips from mine, so he could look down between us to watch me touching myself.

"Fuck, Bella, do you know how sexy you are?"

He was shaking now, still on his forearms and still positioned right at my entrance, close enough to enter me if I moved even an inch.

He began kneading my right breast with one of his hands before pinching my nipple and all rational thought left my mind.

I took my now wet fingers and slid them up and down Edward's cock while rubbing my thumb over his wet tip. I rubbed my fingers together, mixing his pre cum with my own wetness, gliding my thumb along the sensitive ridge underneath his cock before wrapping my hand around him completely and stroking him.

He hissed a jumble of words and I couldn't wait any longer as I felt him grow even harder in my hand. I guided his cock to my slit, rubbing his tip against my wet, swollen bud, longing and ready to feel him inside of me.

I looked into his eyes, his restraint and desire warring and turning his green eyes almost black.

"I want you inside of me now, Edward."

He entered me in one thrust and then I was flying, completely filled with Edward.

As he lowered his body onto mine, I dropped my hands to my sides so that there was no space between us and all I could feel was the weight of his body, crashing down on me as he began to move inside of me.

He took my hands in his, sliding them up as he kissed each of my wrists before pinning them above my head.

He pulled half-way out before ramming into me again even harder and I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper.

I couldn't form any thoughts or say anything at all as we developed a rhythm, Edward chanting my name each time he moved in and out of me as I lifted my hips to meet his.

I was already beginning to feel the coil of heat in my stomach, winding itself tighter with each feeling of his twitching cock thrusting inside me as I contracted my muscles tighter around him.

He felt incredible moving inside of me as our pace grew quicker, almost frenzied.

I could tell he was so close as he pushed into me harder and faster, bending his neck so he take my nipple in his mouth, bringing me even closer as he bit down on my nipple before using his tongue to lick the same spot.

I moaned and suddenly he released my hands. I cupped his butt, raking my nails along his ribs as he slammed into me even harder, just as close to ecstasy as I was.

"Come for me, Bella." He said, and it was all I needed to hear as stars exploded in front of my eyes and I came undone beneath him, calling his name.

I was in a million pieces as my orgasm stretched on and he pushed into me once more, losing his control. He came inside of me, biting my shoulder and whispering my name. I felt put back together, then, coming down from this high with Edward.

He fell on top of me, still pulsing inside of me as I slid my shaking legs down his, letting go of his waist and wrapping my arms around him before nuzzling his neck.

He brought his head up, looking at me and brushing a stray hair off my face before kissing me, sweetly, tenderly.

"I love you, Edward."

"I love you, Bella."

I felt the loss immediately as Edward pulled out of me, but he quickly pulled my back against his body, wrapping his arms around me and holding me close.

I drifted off to sleep, Edward humming the song he played earlier in my ear, his arm draped over my hip as we made two spoons.

My lullaby.
