Chapter Ten


Bella Swan


"Baby?" Edward called, followed by the noise of the door closing.

"In here!" I hollered back.

"Mmm, smells good," he murmured as he wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck with his nose.

"Thank you," I replied as I continued to make the salad. "Its Grammy Marie's famous lasagne." I smiled as I thought of my father's mother. She was my best friend once upon a time and it was the hardest thing to do, letting her go when she passed away with cancer when I was 20 years old.

I felt Edward's lips curve up into a smile before he placed a lingering kiss on my neck, "I wasn't talking about the food." He whispered in my ear. The combinations of the small, slow kisses he was placing on my neck and his breath on my skin caused me to break out in shivers. I couldn't stop myself from leaning further into his embrace, closing my eyes.

"Oh no? What were you talking about then?" I asked, my voice coming out as a breathy whisper. His hands started to softly stroke my lower stomach through my shirt.

"You." He whispered sucking on the spot behind my ear that he knew made me moan his name repeatedly. Upon hearing the word fall from my lips, he spun me around and crashed me to him.

I gasped in surprise but quickly recovered when he forcefully pressed his lips to mine. Without consciously realising it, he had lifted me up onto the counter and was standing firming between her legs.

He licked my bottom lip and I didn't hesitate to open up for him. Our tongues mingled and I lost myself in the scent and taste of him. I was starting to run out of air so I forcefully pulled my head to the side. His lips didn't leave my body for a second, continuing their trek across my jaw line and to my neck.

He started playing with the hem of my shirt before pulling his head from mine for a moment and yanking the shirt over my head. He was straight back to licking and sucking before I registered what had happened. Who was I to complain? His hand came up to cup my breast and he swiped his finger over my nipple. It hardened instantly and I let out another breathy moan.

"Edward…" I whimpered. I needed him. More than anything, I needed him. I needed more.

"Yes, baby?" He whispered in my ear. I dragged his lips back to mine. My fingers clutched the hair at the nape of his neck hard and he groaned. The noise sent a shot of arousal straight through me and I answered back with a groan of my own.

"More…" I said.

"More what? Tell me, baby, and it's yours." He promised.

He crushed his lips back to mine and unclasped my bra. It landed on the floor somewhere but I paid it no mind. Edward wrapped his lips around my tight nipple and sucked. I gasped.

"Fuck, yes, uhh…Edward. That's what I-" my words were cut off by a shrill ringing that flowed through the kitchen. My eyes shot open and I glanced at Edward.

"Foods ready." He said unnecessary. I groaned and placed my forehead on his chest. He rubbed my arms and kissed my head.

"That's what I didn't want." I grumbled. Edward just chuckled and bent to pick up my bra and shirt.

"Here, baby. Go get dressed and I'll serve the food." He said handing me my clothes. I jumped of the counter and took them from him. I pouted but he simply chuckled.

His kissed my lips chastely. "Later," He promised against my mouth. My smile grew and he simply chuckled again as I practically skipped away.


"Now who's the one who smells good?" I whispered as I wrapped my arms around Edward's waist from behind. He chuckled as he placed the salad bowl on the table. I nibbled on his ear and heard him groan. Hearing that made me smile to myself.

"Sit down and eat your food, woman. I swear you will be the death of me." He growled playfully. I giggled and walked around him. I felt the sting before I heard the resounding SMACK!

"Ow!" I said as I turned back to him.

Edward simply grinned, "There's more where that came from, baby." He winked.

"Is that a promise?" I purred and winked in response.

He growled once more and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "You shouldn't play with fire, Edward 'cos your gunna get burned." I said.

"You'll pay for that," he warned.

"If you say so." I said smugly.

"Eat your food, dirty girl." He replied, trying to conceal a smile. I simply winked and dug into my food.

We ate with comfortable conversation between us. Over the past month and a half we had grown even closer to each other. Even though I didn't want it and wished I could avoid it like a plague, we had a big discussion and worked things out.

We both opened up about what had happened at the wedding and told each other how we felt about the situation. I couldn't help but feel an unbelievable amount of guilt over what I had done. I loved Edward. Running away from him meant I could have run away from a whole life set out for us.

It was stupid and idiotic of me. That was something we both agreed on. At first, I thought that perhaps his feelings for me had changed and hated that but then he said those three words that made my heart spark once more.

"I love you."

Never before had someone said such important words to me. I didn't believe him as he spoke them. How could he possibly feel so strongly for me after all I had done? He shouldn't, but he does. After his speech when he first said those words made me lose all composure I had on myself. And then next, I couldn't stop myself from saying those three words back to him.

Since that night, we started from the beginning. We went on our second first date. We learned about our likes and dislikes. We spoke about everything from our family and our hopes and dreams.

Physically we were going slow. We weren't at a complete halt, having had some hot make out sessions and heavy petting but we had never made it past third base. To say he was amazing was an understatement but I wanted more. I always wanted more and today wasn't any different.

"How about we relax and watch a movie? We can tidy this later." He said motioning to the mess on the table and in the kitchen.

"Mmm, yeah. That sounds good."

We walked into the living room and I instantly flopped on the sofa. I was exhausted after a long day of writing. My writers block was finally gone and I was finally on a roll. However, I could feel it starting to take its toll on me.

"What do you fancy? Comedy, horror or action?" he asked from his place by the DVD stand.

"No horror. Comedy?" I replied. I noticed how he didn't mention a romance in there. There hadn't been another since the Notebook incident.

"Comedy it is." He picked up the Hangover and put it on. I sat up to make room for him as he made his way over to me. He instantly pulled me to his side as I snuggled into him.

As soon as the movie started, I could feel my lids dropping with exhaustion. I finally fell into a light sleep, only to be woken by Edward.

"Wake up sleepy head." He whispered.

"Mmm, what time is it?" I mumbled.

"Bed time apparently." He chuckled. I opened my eyes and saw the end credits on the screen. I shot up, surprised at how long I had been asleep for.

"I missed the whole thing?" I asked, looking at Edward. He nodded but smiled, brushing the hair from my face. "I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, baby. How about you go take a nice bath before bed while I tidy up around here?" I couldn't refuse him so made my way to the en suite after giving him a long kiss.

I started to run the bath and added some candles to the side. Even though I was plenty relaxed, there was no such thing as too relaxed. I switched the lights off allowing the room to glow in a warm, orange light. I stripped and sinked into the water, moaning when my body was completely submerged in it from my neck down.

I closed my eyes and allowed myself to completely sink into relaxation. I couldn't deny that it was perfect after the long day I had had. After a while, I heard the door open and close gently. I opened my eyes to see Edward looking down at me with a small smile on his face.

He stroked my cheek gently, "You are so beautiful." His gaze was so loving that I couldn't help but smile back.

"Join me?" I whispered. He smiled again before stripping out of his clothes. I sat up to allow him to take his place behind me. I leaned back into his chest with his legs either side of my own. I found it was even more comfortable than just the hot water.

His hands started to slowly stroke my skin. They barely touched me but the shivers still broke out and I still felt myself becoming aroused.

He started at my shoulders before gently tracing imaginary patterns down my arms to my hands. He laced our fingers together before bringing each to his mouth to place a kiss on my palm, one after the other. He was being so loving that I couldn't stop myself from sighing in contentment.

Once he had finished, his hands came back up my arms and over my collarbone and neck. He slowly made his way down to my breasts. As he reached my nipples, he traced slow circles around it before take one in each hand and pinching slowly. His mouth became attached to my neck and I tilted my head to the side to allow him more access. I moaned as he tugged on each nipple.

His hands left me as they made their way down, tracing patterns on my stomach. I made a whine in protest even though I knew what was coming.

"Sshh, patients, baby." He whispered in my ear as he took my lobe into his mouth.

As his finger came in contact with my clit a groan left my mouth. As he continued to rub, my breaths started coming out in small pants.

"Edward…more." I said breathlessly

"Do you like that? I know you do. I can feel how wet you are and it has nothing to do with the water." He slid two fingers lower and circled my entrance. He pushed one deep inside me.

"Urghh." Words had failed me. I could speak. I couldn't think. I could only feel. And it felt amazing.

"That's it, baby." He added another finger and placed his other hand on my breast once again. At this time I was in a messy state.

"God, baby. You're so tight. So wet and warm. I can't wait to be in you, baby." He continued to pump his fingers in and out pulling me closer and closer to the edge.

My breathing started to pick up and as soon as he curled his fingers and hit that spot deep inside I exploded seeing stars. As I came down from my high, Edward continued to place small kisses on my neck while repeating 'I love you' in my ear.

I fully felt like jelly against Edward and felt like I could pass out at any moment. However, I could feel his erection pressed against my lower back.

I turned and straddled his lap. I ran my fingers through his hairs before pulling him in to cover his lips with my own. As soon as I felt the tip of his tongue probing my mouth for entrance, I didn't hesitate to open up.

I played with the hairs at the nape of his neck before wrapping a hand around his shaft. He groaned in response into my mouth. I moved my mouth to his neck and started sucking on his pulse point.

"Fuck, baby. You don't have to do that." He said.

"I know. I want to." I replied as I started moving my hand.

I tightened my grip as his noises grew. Noises I loved.

Over the time we spent together, I knew what he liked and how he liked it. I knew his body inside out just like he knew mine. We may not have gone past third base but we had definitely taken advantages of second and third. To be honest, I didn't know what was stopping us from going all the way.

I knew that when I tightened my grip his moans got louder. I knew that when I paid attention to the tip of his cock he would gasp with pleasure and surprise. I knew that when I played with his balls he would grunt and finally let go. I knew him. And he knew me.

I kept a steady pace as I continued to suck and nip at his neck. He bucked his hips in encouragement and I sped up.

"Bella, fuck. Baby, I'm going come." He groaned. I tightened my grip once more and brought my spare hand down.

I lightly cupped his balls in my hand before using a fingernail to lightly graze the sensitive skin just underneath them. Like I said, I knew this would finish him off.

"Shit!" he gasped as he came. I continued to stroke him until he came down from his high.

One thing I was sure of was Edward was beautiful when he came and it made me feel even better knowing I had created that pleasure for him.

"You really are beautiful when you come." I whispered against his lips before pressing mine to his. He deepened it instantly.

"Thank you. That was amazing." He replied. I smiled and pecked his lips again before resting my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me in turn.

"Anytime."

He chuckled, "I might just take you up on that." I joined in with his laughter. I honestly would never have minded.

We lay there for a while until the water became too cold to stay in. Edward got out first, dried himself before wrapping a towel around his waist. I almost pouted when I saw his beautiful cock get hidden from view.

He chuckled again at my expression, "Come here, baby." I stood and took his hand so he could help me from the bath. He had a towel around my shoulders, drying me instantly. Once he was done he pulled me to his chest and gave me a light kiss. "I love you."

I smile involuntarily. I couldn't stop it when he said those words. "I love you too."

We made our way back into the bedroom and slipped into bed, both fully naked. His arms were instantly around me while my head rested comfortably on his chest.

"Edward?" I mumbled, already half asleep.

"Mmm?"

"When do you think we will be ready? You know, to go all the way?" I asked quietly. When he didn't answer me for a couple seconds I thought he wasn't going to at all. That made me worried. Did he plan on not having sex with me?

"I don't know, baby. I think when the time is right for us to make love then it will just happen. We will know." I smiled at his answer and my worries seemed to slip away. There weren't always gone but I didn't depend on them so much now.

I sighed and snuggled further into his embrace. "Love you."

Before darkness took over, I felt him place a kiss on my head and whisper his own declarations in return.


Ring! Ring!

"Turn it off." I mumbled into Edward's chest.

"It's yours not mine." he replied sleepily. I groaned. After another set of rings the phone cut off.

"Thank god." I said as I snuggled back into his arms.

Ring! Ring!

"Oh for goodness sake! Its 3.30 in the morning. Can't they get the hint that perhaps we are asleep at this time? Any normal, sane person would be." I grumbled as I turned and reached for my phone. As I looked at the screen I saw a number I didn't recognize. My brows furrowed instantly.

"Hello?" I said as I answered.

"Bella? It's Sue." Sue? Why was Sue Clearwater calling at this time? She was one of Charlie's friends. Something must be wrong for her to be calling at this time.

I sat straight up in bed and turned on the lamp next to me.

"Sue? What is it? Is everything okay?" I asked frantically. I could see Edward looking at me with worried eyes. On the other end of the phone I heard sniffling.

"It's Charlie. He's been shot. You need to be here. They don't know if he's going to make it. They're saying we should say our goodbyes, prepare for the worst." I sat in shock, unable to process her words.

Charlie couldn't be hurt.

I needed him.

Edward sat up now looking into my face with deep concern. I stared back with my mouth wide with shock and tears pouring down my face.

"Baby, what is it?" I could hear Sue on the phone but her voice sounded so far away.

I whispered one word as the phone fell from my hands.

"Daddy."
