In from the cold ~ Chapter 11.
Edward and I both returned to work.
I ran with the dogs in the morning, they slept in my flat until I let them out at lunch time and Edward picked them up on the way home.
They loved it! They were so happy together.
And it meant that we could keep up the pretence for a few more days. We wanted to hold out until Thanksgiving, but I wasn't sure if we would get peace till then.
It was only a few more days away, but still…I was dreading it.
I bumped into Alice at lunch time when I had the dogs out and she seemed very surprised, even more so when I stopped at my door to let them back in for the afternoon. Thankfully, she didn't have time to be invited in, and see all my packed up boxes.
I would have time to nip home to our house at lunch time once everyone knew about the move.
Esme came over to let the delivery guys in with Edward's piano from storage today.
He was now even more determined to teach me something new for Thanksgiving. He had taught me basic piano playing when we were younger but to be honest I was not very good at all!
He was very excited when he came home to find the piano had arrived. I found it very difficult to concentrate at all with him sitting next to me, watching his fingers move on the keys…*sigh*
Edward convinced me we could play Linkin Park 'In the end' together for his Dad!
I was learning the repetitious piano part you hear on the single and he would play the rest…sounds easy when he said it like that. I only had a wee bit to learn and play it over and over again.
Edward started singing as we played the sing again.
All I could think of was Edward singing that song to me after we made love yesterday.
I shivered at the memory of our love making.
Edward looked at me and smirked. He could read me like a book.
"What are you thinking there Kitten?"
"I was just thinking about the last time I heard you sing this song…"
He grinned at me and I blushed looking down at my lap.
"Hey, what you hiding for?" his hand gently lifted my face up to look at him.
"Just, I was thinking how you tried to teach me to play as kids, and now, well you are teaching me to play in a different way…" I giggled.
"We are learning together." He smiled.
"You will tell me if I am doing something wrong?" I sighed.
"You have done everything right Honey. Just being with you makes it all right."
"You always know what to say to make me feel better Edward."
He just smiled and winked at me, causing me to giggle again.
He pulled me round onto straddle his lap and the music playing gave way to the kissing and cuddling, and if we didn't have to learn to play a tune together in just a few days time, we would have christened his piano properly.
The song was almost done, my part was a little wobbly but it would do, we could practice a bit more over the next few days.
Jasper had texted Edward to see if they could have a boy's games night…Alice was fed up having him and Emmett under her feet.
"I can go and see Rose or something…" I started to say. But Edward shook his head. "No thanks, I would rather stay here with you Honey."
I just grinned at him. "Unless you would rather go and see Rose?" he asked nervously.
I shook my head at him this time, repeating back his words to him. "No thanks, I would rather stay here with you Honey."
We both laughed and cuddled up together on the sofa.
"What did you tell him you were doing?"
"I told him I was teaching you some more lessons on the piano and you were teaching me to make pancakes."
I laughed. "Pancakes? You can already make pancakes!"
"Yes…but he doesn't know that!" Edward scoffed before licking all the way up my neck.
I sighed…moving my head to the side to allow him better access.
The phone rang!
"What is it with my family and calling when you and I are having fun?" Edward scowled.
"Hello Esme." I answered while Edward shook his head, trying to move my top so he could lick further down my chest.
"We are fine, no… no bother at all…do you want a word Edward?"
Edward shook his head before returning to his task at hand.
"Ok." I giggled.
"Bye…See you soon."
I hung the phone up.
"What was that all about?" Edward asked, trying to lift my tee shirt off now.
"Your brother is on his way over, Jasper told him about pancakes and they are both hungry!"
"But I am hungry!" Edward whined, "I need me some Bella!"
"Well you blew it, when you told Jasper about pancakes!" I laughed.
I adjusted my clothes and started to walk to the kitchen.
"How long do you think we have?" Edward muttered as he pulled me back onto his lap.
"You mum said he had just left, so 20 minuets maybe?"
"We should make the most of that 20 minuets Honey…" Edward whispered, his smooth voice melting my reserves.
"We could, but then your family would know that you teach me to play the piano in a tee shirt and panties…or even less…" I mumbled back, his kisses making it hard to resist his idea.
"Hell no! They are not seeing you like this!" Edward grabbed me and carried me laughing to our bedroom before throwing me down on the bed.
He pulled out some sweat pants and a hoodie top.
"Put them on please…these are all mine!" He laughed before palming my breasts and kissing my neck again.
"You are making this very hard!" I giggled, trying to pull the hoodie on.
"You have no idea how hard…" Edward groaned.
I looked down and saw his erection bulging against his sweat pants.
"Oh I think I do!" my hand moved down to palm his arousal. The sound of him groaning again made me giggle.
"Can you be quick Mr?"
He nodded and stripped off all his clothes before I even finished asking the question.
Edward threw himself to lie down beside me on the bed.
I leaned over and kissed him as he scrambled to remove my clothes.
I shook my head.
"Remember the bath room Baby?" I whispered.
"This is all about you."
My hand moved down and I wrapped my fingers around his hard shaft. After one more long sensual kiss to his lips I moved so I was now knelling between his legs and took Edward into my mouth.
He exhaled sharply at the contact.
I lavished attention to all off his manhood. My fingers playing and cupping his balls, my tongue swirling and licking his swollen head, before I took him as far into my mouth as I could. His hips moved in rhythm with my actions, his hand moved up to weave through my hair, not making any pressure on me, just connecting us together even more than we were before.
"Baby…" he tried to warn me, but I was ready to take all he had to offer me.
I opened my eyes at looked at him, his face beautiful with desire and arousal.
His whole body tensed and I relaxed my throat and took him even further into me.
I heard him shout my name out loud, gasping as he came.
It was not as unpleasant as I thought it would be. Not quite vanilla ice cream but I coped with it ok.
Looking at Edward as I moved to lie beside him, it was worth the effort. He was completely speechless.
"Was that ok?" I asked nervously.
"You have no idea, really, no idea at all!" I laughed.
"I get the picture Baby!"
Edward just nodded and lay there with a huge grin on his face.
"I will go and get ready for your guests Edward!" I winked.
"Don't go yet my Love please…"
"If I stay, then we would both end up naked!"
"And that would be a bad idea…why?"
"I am really struggling to say no to you here…" I was so in love with this man, this naked man who lay beside me, stroking down my side and around my hip bone.
Just then I heard a car pull into our drive way. Edward groaned and threw himself back onto the bed.
"Dam my cock blocking family!"
I laughed and threw on the clothes before kissing Edward and leaving him to recover and get dressed.
"I love you!" He called after me. "I love you too, now get that ass dressed!"
I was in the kitchen getting equipment and ingredients out to make blueberry pancakes when Jasper & Emmett came in the front door.
"Hey Belly…that's a surprise seeing you here…" Emmett grinned.
"Oh so you didn't know I was teaching Edward to make pancakes today then?"
They both shook their heads.
"I don't think I will bother actually, since you are here, I might just go home and leave you boys to it."
I stood up and went to go to put my shoes on.
They both stood there for a second and started shouting at me to stay.
"What did you say to Bella to make her leave!?!"
Edward shouted running into the sitting room. I winked at him letting him know I was playing with them.
"I was just saying that I would leave you too it and not bother with the cooking lesson tonight Edward…"
"NO!"
"Bella…I need pancakes!"
Edward just laughed.
"You know I would rather learn to cook than play games with these two…?" he chuckled.
So that was the night I taught all three to make pancakes.
The boys were eating them as quickly as we could make them.
I ate two pancakes when Emmett offered me another one. "No thanks I am quiet full, I ate just before you boys arrived." I giggled as Edward blushed.
Emmett tried to apologise again about our heated discussion at lunch yesterday.
"I am sorry Bella… I just want you to be happy."
"I know Emmett, I am happy… you just need to trust me on this."
"But Bella…" Jasper tried to speak now.
"Boys…are you seriously going to piss me off now I have taught you how to make the best pancakes ever?"
They both looked at me, both about to open their mouths to say something.
"I will smack you with a frying pan…" I glared at them.
They both then turned to look at Edward who grinned as he bite into another pancake, shrugged his shoulders and winked at me.
"Don't look at Edward to help you out here, and DO NOT start pestering him about dating either." I poked my fingers into both their chests.
"You know, we just want you to be happy like we are."
"I know, but you know what, I am happy. Edward…Are you happy?" he smiled and nodded at me.
"Well then you two need back off and leave us alone." They opened their mouths again. I lifted a finger up on each hand and placed one down on Emmett and Jaspers lips.
"DO not say a word…I mean it…do not say anything at all."
Edward burst out laughing.
"Easy Tiger, the boys know you mean it. Don't you Boys?"
The both nodded. I almost felt bad for not telling them the truth, but this was not the time, and I was dammed if I was bullied into confessing my feelings to these two.
Alice called Jasper and told him to get his butt home; he nodded and said "Yes dear!" Emmett laughed until a few moments later Rose called him and told him to get home or else! Emmett was even more under the thumb than Jasper was. Edward and I laughed so hard we cried.
They both left and we got set to walk our dogs, it was a chilly but beautiful evening. The privacy of the woodland trail behind the house meant we didn't have to worry about anyone seeing us holding hands, stopping to kiss, to embrace or stand looking into each others eyes. Edward stopped to pick up a stick for Emily, Jake never bothered with sticks he was always too busy keeping guard on me. Something in the woods caught his attention.
Edward was facing the other was a short distance away from us, Jake's hackles were up and I heard him growl, moving backwards so he was now inches away from me.
"What is it Jake? You see a deer or something?"
I couldn't see anything, Jake snarled into the darkness.
He crouched down slightly, ready to attack. I have never seen him this aggressive since James had tried to take advantage of me.
"Edward?"
He had noticed Jake's behaviour, and came running over toward us.
"What's wrong Jake?" Edward lowered his hand to touch Jakes back, but Jake didn't move. Emily's hackles were now raised up as well.
I was starting to get scared. A stick snapped as something moved to stand on it. Jake was really unhappy with this. I turned and held onto Edward. "Please, take me home." I whispered. He nodded, and wrapped his arm around me.
"Let's go Emily, Jake…?"
Both dogs reluctantly turned and followed us, Jake kept looking back and did not settle until he was last in the house and the door was locked behind us.
Edward sat down beside him and soothed his hackles down, "What was out there fella? I know I can trust you to keep her safe." Jake looked at Edward and gave him a lick on the hand. Edward sat with him and brushed his coat with his hand.
"Bella, maybe when you run tomorrow…I will come with you?"
I nodded as I sat down on the floor with them,
Jake licked my hand and then went to lie beside the back door. I had not seen him unsettled this was inside the house before. Edward set the alarm system; it seems he was unsettled too.
I didn't know what was out there, but I didn't sleep at all that night.
