Just as I climbed from my bed the door opened slowly, Edward stood in the doorway, his outlined silhouetted in the bright moonlight.

'Thank you god,' I said silently as he came towards me.


Bella

Edward stumbled slightly as he crossed the floor, which made a small giggle escape from me and his lips twist in a wry smile.

'I thought I'd check if you were okay, see if you needed anything?' he was stood by my bed, his face half in shadow but his eyes burned bright and clear as he looked down at me.

'Only you, you're the only thing I need.' At my soft words a groan left Edward's mouth and his eyes closed momentarily before they opened once more, now they were like living, green flame as he came down onto the bed and pulled me into his arms.

'Temptation thy name is Bella,' he breathed before bringing his lips crashing down on mine. His mouth moved feverishly across my own, as if he wanted to taste every inch of my mouth. I didn't care; I wanted him just as much and revelled in the almost carnal nature of the kiss. Our tongues battled for dominance, neither wanted to cede control but finally our mouths disconnected as we panted and gasped for breath.

My fingers found the bottom edge of Edward t shirt and roughly pulled it upwards, he lifted his arms to make things easier for me, and yanking it from his body I tossed it carelessly somewhere on the floor. The pads of my fingers danced along the hard muscles of his shoulders, loving the way he quivered at even the lightest touch I made. I wrapped my hands around his arms, fingers digging into the hard flesh; he was such a wonderful contrast of firm muscle and soft skin.

Edward lowered his head and began to place small, biting kisses along my throat, he would nip and then sooth the slight sting with his tongue, a loud moan echoed in the dark room much to my embarrassment but he was driving me insane with everything he did.

If there were any lingering doubts in my mind that this would perhaps be strange, that two people who knew each other so well might find it hard to cross that boundary between friends and lovers it was dispelled instantly when I looked into Edward's face. Never before had I seen such fire, such desire and I knew my own would reflect the same emotions. I wanted everything with Edward and in the morning we would still be able to laugh and joke, it wouldn't be awkward because we were made for each other.

Edward's fingers were slipping under my vest; they teased along the soft skin of my stomach, gradually moving the fabric upwards over my too sensitive skin. Ever so slowly he moved his hands higher, his fingers running across my ribs in a move I would normally find ticklish but in my heighten state of arousal it just felt tantalising.

One hand moved to grasp both of mine and lift them over my head so he could remove my thin vest; I complied eagerly wanting to feel his naked skin against mine. My breasts tingled in anticipation of his touch, and damn he was taking his time, his eyes running over my body with a heat that was almost like a caress as it swept over me.

My chest rose and fell with increasing rapidity as I watched him lower his head to my shoulder, running kisses along my collarbone, over the tops of my breasts and then flicking his tongue against my unbearably hard nipples. I hissed at the sharp pleasure that shot through me with that light touch. Edward teased my other breast with little nips but never fully taking me within his mouth, this was torture but such delicious torture that I could only moan his name and hold him tighter by thread my fingers through his hair, urging him closer.

At last his mouth fully enveloped my nipple, sucking deeply and sending sensations I never knew existed straight through my body, it was like all my nerve endings were connected to that one spot and pleasure surged through every part of me.

'You're so beautiful,' he groaned against my skin, drawing back to look down at me.

'You make me feel beautiful,' I whispered as I reached up to pull his lips back to mine. My fingers slid down his sleekly muscled back, following each dip and contour. My body thrummed with an urgency I had never known before, I wanted this man, my Edward, more than everything else on this earth.

Flipping us over I began to make Edward experience the same torture I had just done, pressing soft, small kisses across his torso, flicking my tongue over his hard nipples and watching him squirm as I made my way slowly lower.

'Nothing has ever felt this good,' he muttered closing his eyes when my fingers slipped beneath the boxer briefs he was wearing. For a moment I ran my fingers along the elastic edge but did not venture any further, teasing him just a little.

'Please Bella,' the words seemed to be torn from his throat and I finally took him in my hand, he was so hot and hard as I rubbed my palm over the velvety skin. Pulling his boxers off fully I lowered my mouth and tasted the drop of clear fluid that had gathered on the tip, Edward jerked beneath me like an electric current had passed through his body. He gripped his arms under mine and pulled me up his body.

'If you do that, there is no way I'm going to last, I want you too much,' his gravely voice made my insides twitch, and I couldn't help the way my hips thrust against his, only my thin cotton briefs separating us.

Edward

My head was consumed with Bella, with the way she moved against me, just her skin against mine was enough to nearly have me coming. I had to keep closing my eyes to try and gain some semblance of control.

As much as I wished it was different and I could take my time learning every single bit of her body, I needed her soon, my desperation to be inside her was growing and becoming too much.

I gently turned us over so I was on top, my weight held on my forearms as I looked down at her; never had she looked so beautiful. Her naked skin glowed in the moonlight and her kiss swollen lips were calling to me, passion made her eyes so dark they almost seemed black, bewitching me with their heat. Again I closed my eyes to the tempting vision before me, I wanted this to be good, I wanted to make her mine in every way possible.

My hands ran over her hips till I came to her underwear, I gently grasped the side and lowered them along her long, shapely legs, hearing her catch her breath as my nose skimmed her pubic bone. She smelled so sweet, so intoxicating, words could not describe how much I wanted to stay wrapped in her arms forever.

'Edward, now, I can't wait any longer,' her pleading words brought my head up and I saw her looking at me with something akin to desperation and I knew exactly how she felt, if I didn't have her soon I felt like I might implode.

I lay over her, my chest touching hers feeling her hand guiding me forwards till my head met her warmth, our eyes locked and our lips met with a searing kiss.

Bella thrust upwards taking me deep inside her, it was like being consumed from the outside in. She was like fire surrounding me, the feeling was so almost too much and I had to steady myself before continuing.

When I pulled out a whimpering sound left Bella's throat until I was again buried myself inside her up to the hilt. This was what I had being missing in the past, this connection, this feeling of wholeness we shared. The rhythm was slow to begin with but soon we were moving against each other hard and fast, the pace matching my quickening heartbeat.

I felt her insides fluttering against me and I strove to hold off my climax until she gripped me tightly and yelled my name with frenzied passion. It felt so unbelievably good to be part of her, to feel myself cradled within her as the ripples of her orgasm washed over her.

My own orgasm seemed to last for an eternity, long after my release I lay shaking in her arms, floored by the experienced we had shared.

Bella's flushed face was buried in my chest and I lifted my finger to her chin so I could look at her properly. Her eyes were dazed and for a moment she wouldn't look up to meet my eyes.

'God did I hurt you?' the mere thought made me sick but she shook her head before I could freak out, placing a soft kiss against my lips.

'No, you could never hurt me but I think you may have ruined me,' a small smile curved her lips. 'No one else could ever compare to that.'

'No one else is ever coming anywhere near you,' I growled as she shook her head, laughter dancing in her eyes.

'Are you going all caveman on me now Edward?' the wicked eyebrow was arched, taunting me.

'Bella mine,' I said in my best caveman voice, I beat my hands on my chest while she giggled at my silly display.

'And you're mine,' she reminded me, the teasing was suddenly replaced with tenderness as I held her head in my hands and kissed her slowly and deeply. In one way or another we had always belonged to each other, nothing would ever change that.

'Still friends?' Bella's head lay on my chest and I was just about ready to fall asleep, the question caught me off guard and I laughed.

'Bella I think we are way past friends don't you?'

'I guess, you can be my bosom buddy,' I loved her silly banter, that we could still share this.

'Well I have been quite intimate with your bosoms and I would certainly like to be their buddy,' Bella snorted and slapped my chest in reproof.

'Bella you are everything I have ever wanted, scratch that, more than I ever wanted. You're beautiful, funny, sexy as all hell, a teasing minx and my best friend, at the end of the day you're pretty damned perfection.'

'Aww that's so sweet and I was just going to say you're not bad yourself.' Definitely a teasing minx.

'Go to sleep you wicked woman.' Her hands were tracing lazy circles over the skin of my chest as she hummed beneath her breath.

She yawned and nestled her head once more against my shoulder. 'Okay, goodnight.'

'Goodnight,' I placed a kiss against her hair and closed my eyes.

'Oh and Edward… I love you.' A smile so big my cheeks hurt spread over my face and I jerked upward much to Bella's protestations.

'Hey I was comfy.'

'I don't care say that again,' she grinned at me and rolled her eyes.

'I love you, now can I get some sleep?'

'In a minute. I love you too you know that right?' she nodded and pushed me down before settling herself against me once more. I wrapped my arms tightly around her and buried my head in her hair.

I had found my someone and would never be alone again.
