Chapter 10
He finds me on the beach, sitting in the sand, crying. He
quietly sits beside me, and takes my hand. "You're right
about what you said. I am rich and no longer have to live
paycheck to paycheck, but I remember when I did. And
yes, your also right that I've never been married or had
children of my own, but that doesn't mean I don't know
how to love, because I do love, I love you. I can't stand
when we are apart, and I think of you all day long. When
we aren't together, I ache for you, and when I am with
you, soar in happiness. So, you may not believe that a
kid like me can understand your feelings, But I do
understand mine."
I look into his eyes and he smiles at me, and I say. "I'm
so sorry Edward. My words were so cruel and I know
that I hurt you, and I really didn't mean them. I'm just so
sad and angry right now, and so afraid of losing what we
have here, so I pushed you away. Can you ever forgive
me?"
Placing a kiss on my lips, he says "O course I forgive
you, and I promise we will find a way to work all of this
out."
He held me there on the beach for a long time, not
speaking a word, and I felt at peace, as if, maybe,
everything would be alright.
I had no more tears to shed and was exhausted, so he
led me back to his suite, and ran me a warm bubble
bath. He gently washed my body, then my hair, as if I
were his dear child. Once my bath was finished, he took
me to the bed and laid me down gently. As he turned to
go I said, "please don't leave, please come climb in the
bed with me." Removing his clothes, he slips between
the soft sheets, and puts his arms around me. "I love
you Bella." He whispers in my ear, and I quietly reply, "I
love you too Edward." He handles me gently and slowly
kisses my neck and shoulders. I inch back in the bed,
just so my buttocks lay against his hardening body, to
let him know I'm willing. He says, "Are you sure? I want
to be with you desperately, but if you're too tired, I
understand."
I roll over to face him and say, "I want that more than
anything."
He gives me a long gentle kiss, then stares into my eyes,
as he touches my face. "This is the only place I want to
be." He takes his time and places small, gentle kisses all
the way down my body. He comes to my feet, and takes
one between his warm hands, and massages it, then the
next. His kisses then travel up my body again, but this
time he stops at my center. Ever so lightly, he kisses me
there, and uses his tongue to lick me with long wet
strokes. I am in ecstasy, and he continues on and on
with a slow rhythm, that causes me to ebb and flow in
desire. His entry is just as gentle and sweet, and he
thrust into me slowly enough to make me moan out in
desire. I ride the wave of his lovemaking, and he spends
an hour on just my pleasure. Once I have reached my
climax, I let him have his way with me, for his. I come up
on all fours and put my chest to the bed, so he can drive
as deep as possible. He pumps hard and fast and within
minutes reaches his climax.
As we lie there, he starts talking of a future together.
"Please let me help you out for awhile," he says. "I can
at least pay off some bills for you, so finding a job isn't
so daunting. Just think you could travel with me,
wouldn't that be great? Think of all of the exciting places
we could go, all the places we could make love."
I say, "What about my children? I can't just leave them,
they would never understand. I love you, and want to be
with you, just about more than I want anything, b to be
realistic about this."
He replies," I don't know what we will do, but I promise,
we will work something out, so we can be together. I
won't accept a life without you, as I said before, you are
my dream."
