Chapter 10

D-Day: Part One

Carpe diem!

Bella yawned then stretched as she grinned up at the ceiling, still lying comfortably in her bed. Today is the day, Bella. Later tonight you'll be free. You'll no longer live with the constant guilt of having a hymen while dealing with a man's sexual advances. Yes, you're on your way to being a true blue adult!

She'd be twenty-five tomorrow. An experienced twenty-five-year-old. Her grin widened. I'm not a girl, definitely a woman; she mentally sang changing the lyrics of the pop song she'd heard Jessica listening to numerous times.

With an excited yelp, she sat up and reached for her notebook flipping it open before she went through her list of to-do's for the day.

1. Shave armpits and legs.

2. Exercise jaw.

3. Have heart-to-heart talk with Marie.

4. Have last-minute talk with Edward.

5. Pick up "goodbye hymen" outfit.

She raised her arms and checked her armpits then nodded her agreement. Yep, they totally needed shaving. Just shaving - no waxing, please. She shuddered, recalling what she'd gone through three days ago. Brazilian waxing was just a fancy name for slow and painful death. She was teary-eyed the entire time the small strips of cloth were repeatedly pulled from her wax-covered pubic area. She'd never longed for anaesthesia as much as she did then. She hated needles, but she would have welcomed one if it meant not feeling the excruciating pain.

Jess came with her to offer support. Her researcher/friend assured her that once she'd gotten used to it, it wouldn't be that painful anymore. Yeah, right. As if I would do that again. I'd rather have Marie resemble Chewbacca than expose myself to that level of pain again. I could change her name to Chewie.

Bella cringed a little. Or I could just shave and trim. I've got choices, thank God.

She went back to her list and started exercising her jaw. She's been doing it for days now, ever since she gave Edward her B+ worthy blowjob. As preparation for tonight's foreplay, she knew she had to prepare for the blowjob, since Anthony was really big and her poor jaw could only take so much. She'd been sore after that last bj, so she Googled and Wikipedia-ed in a quest to avoid a potential locked jaw incident. Jess said it hurt like a quiddich the first time it happened to her. God bless the net - Bella learned variations upon variations of relaxing and loosening one's jaw to avoid the same fate. Tonight I'll learn how effective these exercises truly are.

After two repetitions of her jaw exercises, Bella glanced at her third to-do item and went back to lying down. Fluffing her pillow once, she expelled a breath then patted Marie. "Hey you. I know we haven't done this before. You've always been the dormant part of me and honestly, outside of hygienic purposes, I never really paid that much attention to you. But tonight, expect a 360 degree shift, okay? It won't be pretty, Marie. You'll bleed and be invaded by something totally foreign to you. And I'll level with you - Expect at least three foreign somethings to enter you: the fingers, a tongue and the toughest yet, a penis. It's a man's genitalia, Marie, and it will hurt a lot. Expect twice the pain that you endured during waxing. Even thrice. Know what? Just expect the worst possible pain, but please don't hate me for letting it happen. You have to trust me on this. You'll be in good hands. Or if I have to be literal about it, around good penis, if that made sense since, technically he'll be inside you not the other way around."

Bella sniffed a little. This little tête-à-tête with Marie was getting to her. She didn't expect to be this emotional, but she couldn't help it. Then again, better to cry now than do it in the middle of sex with Edward. That would be beyond humiliating. She'd rather use her safe-word and bolt out of the room than risk letting Edward see her cry during sex.

She wiped the tears away with the back of her right hand and resumed talking. "Well, I trust Edward and I'm one hundred percent sure that he'll take good care of us. I chose well, Marie. I would never let a so- and-so penis enter and penetrate you. You'll like Anthony. He's a stud. He's huge and almost always proudly erect. Just between you and me, I think he's really pretty. He looked so clean, unlike some of the penises I've seen in porn movies. He smelled and tasted nice too; zero ick and bleh factor. Trust me, I had him in my mouth and throat, and both approved. You just have to relax and let him do what needs to be done."

She took a deep breath. "I honestly don't know what to expect tonight, Marie. I've viewed a lot of porn these past few days, and I hope to God I will not laugh if Edward makes moves like what I saw there. In fairness to my best buddy, though, nobody complained about his sexual skills. Even Heidi bragged about him in a men's magazine, and I believe Gorgeous. Besides, Anthony would not be that studly if he was attached to an average man. Edward's a hunk. Just between you and me, Marie, my best bud is so good looking I blanked out the first time we met. Then I snapped out of it, because in reality he was so much more than his looks. He was really, really nice and easy to talk to. I'd never had that kind of camaraderie with a man before. It was like we were destined to be great friends."

Bella grinned, remembering that fateful day. "Look at us now; he's really my soul mate, come to think of it. He's the only person in this world - who's not related to me, that is, - who liked me, in spite of knowing me. We've managed to live together for three years in harmony. Not just that, we're business partners and he's the only person I feel safe enough around to say whatever comes to my nutty mind. So, you see, we'll be fine tonight. You'll be fine. Edward will make sure of it. I'm absolutely certain Anthony will treat you well too. So just try to relax and enjoy tonight, okay? We're in it together. Promise." With a last assuring pat to Marie, Bella closed her notebook and stretched once again. She could hear Edward banging pots and pans outside, a little too loudly, if you asked her. She stood up, quickly fixed her bed and rushed out of her room. The sight of Edward, putting a frying pan on top of the stove with such force it made her wince, greeted her when she entered the kitchen.

"Stupid, crazy fucker!" Bella heard him mutter, completely oblivious to her presence. "I said, stop it, perv! Quit it! Now!"

She cleared her throat. "Good...morning?" It came out as a question. She couldn't help it. He looked royally pissed.

Edward looked up from his tirade and his ears reddened seeing Bella standing in front of the breakfast bar. "Morning." Fuck you, Anthony - shut up!

"You okay?"

He nodded but didn't say anything. Bella continued looking confused. Then, out of nowhere, the damn song played in his mind again.

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then come on, oh, come on
Whoo, let's get it on.

Edward closed his eyes, counted from one to ten in an attempt to rein in his temper, and clenched his jaw in annoyance.

"Edward?"

Ah, babe, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on
Whoo-ooh-ooh

Edward opened his eyes and avoided meeting Bella's. Anthony, stop it you good-for-nothing- mind always-in-the-gutter fucker! His dick had joined the dark side and turned completely insane. For days, ever since the blow job, that particular song had been playing in his mind nonstop. Anthony stopped talking to him. Good, right? No. Why? Well, because replacing his dick's annoying voice was Marvin Gaye's rousing rendition of "Let's Get It On." He was sure it was all Anthony, since the fucker twitched every single time the naughty-sounding beginning of the song played.

Edward grimaced. If he went to see a shrink, he'd have made said shrink rich. From his family issues to Bella and the "I'm-so-in love-with-you-but-I-don't-know-what-to-do" dilemma to having an assertive dick who thinks he's another person and has his own personal background music...it would take years to just identify the root of his problems.

"PMS-ing?" Bella joked, trying to lighten the mood.

I'd rather have PMS than this. "Just irritated."

"Not at me, right?"

I love you. How could I be irritated with you? "Of course not."

Bella nodded, licking then biting her lower lip, causing Anthony to twitch.

Hi Bella, how you doin'?

The.

Hell?

You've been mute for days and now you're suddenly talking again? To pull a Joey on Bella? Un-fuckin-believable! Edward scowled at his dick.

Well boss, my greeting is way better than your lame "Morning." What's up with that? Of course it's morning! You could at least say, "Fine morning we have today, Bella. You look nice by the way. I love the bed head. How's Marie? Anthony is really excited to make her acquaintance tonight. He even asked me to shave him bare so that they'll have something in common."

Edward growled.

Bella's brows raised an inch higher. What's going on with Edward? He just...growled. Growled and scowled at his crotch. "Now you're starting to creep me out." She walked over to where he was standing, tiptoed to kiss his right cheek then pushed him to sit on one of the stool chairs. "I'll fix us breakfast. You snap out of that bad mood pronto, and you have to do what I say because it's my birthday week."

In response, Edward banged his forehead on the table and remained face down, unmoving.

Shaking her head, Bella proceeded to make breakfast. She knew just what to make to cheer Edward up: bacon, eggs and French toast. She glanced at him from time to time while cooking, checking to see if he moved or what but he didn't change positions at all. If not for the occasional banging, she'd think he was asleep.

When everything was ready and plated, she nudged Edward's shoulder with her hip - both hands occupied with holding plates - and called his name. He looked up then straightened, taking both plates and putting them down. "Thanks."

Bella was about to sit down when Edward stopped her by putting a hand on her right arm and saying "Wait." So she remained standing. She watched him stand up, face her and then envelop her on a tight hug.

"I'm sorry for my lame greeting this morning." He dropped a kiss on top of her head. "I'm sorry for my bad mood." A peck landed on her forehead. "I'm sorry for letting you cook breakfast when I'm supposed to be the one doing that for the whole week." A brief kiss on the tip of her nose. "I'm especially sorry for being this lousy on the eve of your birthday." Eskimo kiss.

Bella grinned up at him then pushed him away. "Sit."

He obediently did, looking a bit sheepish. He was thankful, because his heart was thumping like mad and the brief touches of Bella's body on his own made Anthony twitch and harden. Good thing his dick seemed to be behaving for now and was eerily quiet.

I'm not the bad cop here, Edward.

Or so he thought.

Fine. I'll be in mute mode just to prove I'm a really nice person, worthy of my Marie.

His dick really thought he was a person. News flash, Anthony - you're not. You're just an appendage. Got it?

Silence.

Edward mentally scoffed at Anthony's show of...what? Maturity? Right.

"Your greeting was not lame," Bella said distracting his thoughts. Then she leaned and kissed the top of his head. "We're human. We're allowed to have bad moods from time to time," she continued, then kissed his forehead. Edward's breathing hitched. "I love cooking so it's okay that I did breakfast today." Kiss on top of his nose.

Why didn't you kiss her on the lips again, boss?

It didn't take his dick two minutes to give up mute mode. But this time, they shared the same sentiment, so he'd let it pass.

"And lastly, it's just the beginning of the day. Plenty of time to make up for the lousy – as you called it – start of my birthday eve." Eskimo kiss.

I should've kissed her on the lips, even if it's just a fucking peck or a mere brush. Edward thought in disappointment.

His opinionated dick agreed. Yes, you should've. I'm bothered by the lack of your usual highly effective moves, Edward. Women fell all over themselves at the first sign of the crooked grin, and that eye fuck thing you used most of the time - where are they now? I have a rep to uphold! Come on! Step up!

Edward scowled at the taunt. His dick had a rep to uphold? The fucker thought he had rep?

Anthony, if you want to have a one-on-one with Marie tonight, you better stop annoying me, or so help me God I'll wear a strap-on instead. It'll be the one to have an up close and personal connection with darling Marie, not you.

His dick shrank in fear.

Good. Now shut up and be on mute mode the entire day. I don't want your opinions and I especially don't want to hear Marvin Gaye.

Twitch.

The scowl disappeared from Edward's face. Strap-on. His dick's kryptonite was a fucking strap-on. He grinned to himself.

"At last, a smile! I can finally enjoy my breakfast," Bella exclaimed before taking a bite off her bacon.

He glanced at Bella and marvelled at how perfect she looked so early in the morning. He wanted to kiss her so badly. He reminded himself that he'd have the chance to do it tonight. He had to be patient.

"So, I was thinking of cooking dinner tonight before we, uh, do the deed." Making love would have more apt but he didn't want to alarm Bella. Not when he didn't exactly know how to tell her about his realizations and feelings.

Bella's face light up. "Is braised pork belly with Japanese rice part of the menu?"

"It is now," he confirmed with a grin.

"Perfect."

Just like her. "Any other special requests? I aim to please." In more ways than one, he added to himself.

Bella contemplated for a minute then gave him a worried look. "I don't want to be too full tonight, Edward. I don't want to risk, erm, farting while we're in the middle of...you know. "

Edward stared at her for a full second before bursting into uncontrollable laughter. He couldn't stop even if he wanted to. Of all things to fret about...he laughed some more.

"Hey! That's a legitimate concern," she protested seriously. "Body parts are getting stimulated so you can never really tell what other automatic reactions they'll give."

Edward shook his head and wiped the tears that fell in his cheeks. "Fine, Braised Pork Belly and Japanese rice plus dessert. Got it."

They were quiet for the remainder of breakfast, with Edward chuckling from time to time. Bella let him laugh at her expense. It was better to have him giggling than grumpy-scowly anyway. When they were finished eating, Edward volunteered to do the dishes.

"Edward?"

"Hmm?"

He was too busy putting plates on the dishwasher to give her a look. Good, because I'm already blushing like heck. "I know that when my hymen breaks there'll be blood, but I'm pathetically squeamish. Is there any chance that I won't bleed at all?"

Edward faced her with an indefinable expression on his face. "Most virgins bleed, Bella. There is a high chance that you will too." He sighed. "If I can avoid it, I will. But it's not really up to me, and you've seen Anthony..." his voice trailed off, hating the very idea of causing Bella pain.

Bella nodded, biting her lip. "I know. Can't help but hope, though."

He walked over and sat down beside her, taking both of her hands in his and squeezing gently. "It'll hurt for a couple of minutes, but after that I promise you mind-numbing pleasure, Bella. I'm not bragging, just stating a fact. I promise, I will bring you pleasure. You'll forget about the pain, immediately."

"Okay." She still looked a bit worried.

"Want to feel a sample of that mind-numbing pleasure?" Horniness aside, he felt the need to do this. This is not about him. This is about alleviating Bella's concerns.

Bella's eyes widened. "Sample?"

"Yes."

She looked scared. "Now?"

"Now."

"Here?"

"Here."

"But...but...we eat here, Edward!"

Still holding both her hands, Edward pulled Bella up and walked over to the counter next to the sink. He then released her hands, took hold of her waist and gently hoisted her up until she was sitting on the edge. They were almost eye level. Perfect height for what I have in mind.

Bella was blinking furiously at him. "Relax," he mumbled before raising his left hand to the back of her head and pulled her closer until their lips were almost an inch apart. "Just feel." And he closed the gap in one fell swoop.

Just feel.

Bella closed her eyes and instinctively put both her arms on top of Edward's shoulders. Her hands glided until both met on the nape of his neck and ran up to clasp his crazy hair. She breathed him in and accepted the invasion of his tongue. It swirled around the inside of her mouth, leaving nothing untouched, then curled around her own tongue a couple of times before finally sucking hers aggressively.

While his other hand was at the back of Bella's head, Edward's right hand rubbed her back. It slowly moved towards Bella's waist, up to her ribs and up further until it gently cupped her left breast, grazing a nipple with his thumb.

Bella moaned at the sensation. Her nipples pebbled, even the untouched one. But the best reaction came from her vagina.

Marie tingled.

Marie throbbed.

Marie became wet.

Bella opened her eyes in surprise and pulled away from Edward, who opened his own and asked her "What's wrong?"

She proudly beamed at him. "I'm wet!"

Anthony hardened even more hearing that. At least he's quiet. "Good. It'll be easier and less painful if Marie is wet when Anthony enters her. Like with BJs, the wetter the better."

Now turn your books to page 69. Sorry boss can't help it. Shutting up now.

Edward ignored his dick and reminded himself not to speak too soon when dealing with a pervert. "You want to continue?"

Bella smiled at him. "I don't want to pre-empt tonight, Edward. It already felt wonderful with us Frenching like that. And Holy Frankfurter - the nipple graze? That felt amazing."

He reached out and squeezed her chin. I love you so fucking much, I would do it over and over, 24/7, if you'd let me. "So that means we stop, huh?"

"We better," Bella answered, blushing a little. "If we don't, I might end up begging you to take me here."

"And that would be bad because...?"

Bella blushed some more. "Shut up."

"One more kiss before we do our respective errands?" Please say yes. "You are going somewhere this morning, right?"

"Yep. Need to buy something for tonight. Please don't ask."

Edward chuckled. "I won't ask if you give me a kiss."

Marie tingled again. Bella was in awe of her body's reactions. This is surreal. "Can you...ummm...graze, erm, both my nipples? While we kiss?"

Thank you God. "You don't have to ask me twice."

This time he started the kiss slow and sweet, with the mere brushing of lips. Both his hands rested on Bella's waist, pulling her closer. "Open your legs a bit, Bella," he murmured, releasing her mouth and licking her top lip once before plunging inside again. Delicious.

She did.

He eagerly stepped between her parted legs without breaking the kiss. He let both his hands wander until he was able to cup her perky breasts. Even with the bra on, there was no denying how hard her nipples were. I want to taste them so badly.

He couldn't, not just yet, so he compensated by deepening the kiss. He licked, sucked and tasted every single delicious inch of Bella's mouth. The best thing about this, though, was Bella doing the same thing to him. She licked, sucked and tasted back.

She fucking licked, sucked and tasted him back!

He upped the stakes by timing the thrusts of his tongue inside Bella's mouth with the circular motions of his thumbs on her hardened nipples. She moaned, and he grunted.

Anthony was so hard it was almost painful.

Actually, it was painful.

Edward pulled Bella closer, almost lifting her off the counter, and angled Anthony to touch Marie for the first time.

Yee-haw!

Edward pulled his lips off Bella's and sucked in a much needed breath. He continued dry humping her as he kissed her jaw, neck, back of her left and behind her right ear, then returned to her lips.

Bella, on the other hand, was overwhelmed. She couldn't quite focus on one particular feeling. Everything happened simultaneously: the nipple grazing, Edward's relentless tongue frankfurting, even the Anthony-bumping-Marie-in-epic-ways...Edward was a multi-tasking sex god. No wonder people get addicted to this. This is so intense - like bungee jumping naked or something. She couldn't stop moaning, and she was doing it so loudly that she could hear herself. Oh my God, I sounded like I'm dying.

Then a particular hip move or whatever it was that Edward was doing, hit Marie in a way that brought tingles upon tingles upon tingles (yes, that many tingles!) to Bella, and all she could do was bask in it. She closed her eyes and there were stars and rainbows and it was raining Snickers and Skittles and Peanut Butter M&Ms.

Hello, mind-numbing pleasure.

She didn't know how long it lasted, but when she opened her eyes feeling exhausted but happy, she saw Edward smiling at her. "Hey."

She took a deep breath. "I'm like...Jell-o."

He tenderly kissed the tip of her nose. "You just had an orgasm, babe."

Bella's eyes widened. "Oh my God! It's not a myth then, like a woman's X-Spot or whatever it was called?"

"G-Spot, Bella. It's called a G-Spot." Edward corrected grinning. "And they're both real, not myths. The G-Spot and orgasm, I mean. You actually just experienced the latter. I'll show you where the first one is tonight."

Oh my God. "If this is just a preview of what's gonna happen tonight, I think I need to invest in some power drinks. I'm beyond exhausted, and all I did was kiss you back and moan like a crazy, dying person," she exclaimed, resting her head on Edward's shoulder.

Edward rubbed her back, setting his present condition aside to focus more on the intense happiness of knowing he'd brought Bella to her very first orgasm. Fuck, I'm the man! He felt like puffing his chest out and raising his right arm to show his biceps and triceps to everyone.

Or taking a very, very cold shower, boss...

"Edward?"

"Yes, Bella."

She chuckled, face still hidden on his upper chest. "Can you please carry me back to my room and lay me down my bed? I think I'll sleep for awhile."

Edward patted her back and mentally promised Anthony he'd go get that very, very cold shower after bringing Bella back to her room.

Forget about the cold shower and jack off, boss. That's the next best thing to do.

For once, he totally agreed with Anthony.
