Hello again! I hope I still have some readers out there. I have to apologize. June was an extremely hectic month for my family. Graduations, and birthdays and vacations. Followed by a nasty case of writer's block. I tore this chapter apart 5 times now. Thanks to bethviolet again for helping me steer this in the right direction.
As usual, I own nothing. Stephanie Meyers owns all.
Please enjoy the next chapter.
Edward watched the stunning woman still sleeping beside him. He wanted to lean down and kiss her soft lips, but he also didn't want to wake her. After finally making love to Bella, it was like a gate had been blown open and they made love long into the night, only falling into an exhausted sleep a few hours ago. It was now only ten o'clock, but check out was at eleven and they were meeting his family for brunch soon.
He had never felt this way before. Sex with Bella was almost a religious experience. He had never felt so fulfilled; so sated. He had always felt hollow with Heidi. Sure, he'd gotten off, but the feelings coursing through him now completely astounded him. He knew he was in love, but he was now sure that he'd found his soul mate. There was no other way around it.
Bella starting to stir, stretching against him in the most tantalizing way, making his already hard cock harder.
"Mmmmmm...Edward," she sighed in her sleep, making his smile that much larger. He knew she talked in her sleep, and even though he knew she'd said his name more than once, it always brought a smile to his face knowing that she was dreaming of him.
Giving in to temptation, he snuggled down a bit farther and held her to him a bit tighter, kissing the top of her head, his hand still lazily caressing her back.
"Bella...Sweetheart, it's time to wake up," he whispered as he started to nibble on her ear lobe.
"Ugh, I don't want to. Let's just lay here and sleep the day away," Bella mumbled, turning her head to give him better access. Her hands started roaming across his chest and stomach. She loved having the freedom to touch him at her leisure. He had an amazing body and she'd worshipped it thoroughly during the night.
"I'll make you a deal Beautiful," Edward murmured as he continued his exploration of her neck. "I'll call downstairs and tell them to add another night to our stay as long as we get up and get ready to meet my family for brunch. Then, we can spend the day however you choose." He now had her underneath him as he ground his erection into her hip.
"Also, since we're not in a hurry to pack up and leave, we can have a nice, "hot" shower...together." Edward looked into her eyes before leaning down to kiss her.
"Deal," Bella shouted, pushing him away as she covered her mouth. "You call the desk, and I'll uhh...be right back." With that, Edward watched her streak naked to the bathroom, still with her hand covering her mouth. He threw his head back and laughed at her.
'Silly girl," he mused. 'Thinking I would care about morning breath.'
As he was settling things with the front desk, he heard the shower turn on, so he hung up quickly, almost cutting the clerk off. He walked into the bathroom, being met by a wall of steam. He could make out Bella's silhouette through the glass. She had her head tilted back and her hand were running through her hair, making her back arch and her breasts stand out, as if almost begging for his touch.
'She's going to be the death of me,' he thought. 'But FUCK! What a way to go!'
Bella knew he was watching her and she made sure to tease him. She already wanted him again, although she had no idea how she could. They'd made love 4 times during the night and by rights, she should be completely exhausted and sore. She wasn't. She wanted him again. She wanted Edward always.
"Are you going to stand there all day and watch me?" she taunted him further by running her hand down her stomach toward her aching pussy. "I thought we had to meet your parents soon."
Edward had had enough. He ripped open the door and practically jumped into the shower with her. In seconds he had Bella up against the cold tiles, making her yelp. He leaned down and crushed his lips to hers, desperately needing that connection once again.
"Naughty girl, I'll teach you to tease me." He needed her. Craved her. And now...he had her right where he wanted her. "Put your arms out and place them on the ledge Bella." He was in a demanding mood and he would not be denied.
Once she had obeyed him, he kissed her one last time before trailing down her breasts, her stomach and finally the apex of her thighs. She was already mewling like a kitten. Looking up at his hot as fuck girlfriend, he smirked pulling one of her legs up and over his shoulder as he got himself comfortable on his knees. When he leaned forward and ran his nose against her mound, her noises began.
"Oh God, Edward. Please." Bella was already writhing in anticipation. She couldn't wait to feel his tongue once again. Her breathy moans set him on fire. Without any further teasing, he dove into her sweet pussy, tasting her arousal on his tongue as he lapped at her.
Bella's hand flew immediately to his hair, holding him to her as she still held on with the other. She wasn't going to last long with him attacking her like this.
Edward wanted her to cum hard and fast before taking her, so he added two fingers inside of her as he focused his attention on her clit. She was close already, and he knew it, so he turned his fingers and curled them forward, hitting her G-spot. He knew her body so well already. She grabbed his hair tighter and ground her pussy into his face and she stood almost on tip-toes.
"Edward, Jesus. So...good." She was breathless. "Please."
"That's it baby," he groaned against her. "Cum for me." The vibrations of his words and groans were all she needed and she reached her climax.
"Oh! GOD! Ed-ed-ward!" He grinned as he watched her cumming. She was absolutely beautiful. He wanted to see that every day for the rest of his life. Before her orgasm was finished, he put her leg down, got up and spun her around. He took her hands and slapped them against the tiles, and lifting her hips to him, he thrust his cock deep inside her.
FUCK! EDWARD!" Bella was already screaming his name and he loved it. They'd made love last night. This morning however, was all about need. This was fucking...hot and intense.
He grabbed her hips and held her still as he slammed into her rapidly.
"You feel so good around my cock Bella," he roared. "Fuck! Take it!"
Bella hadn't seen him like this before. He was totally out of control. She loved it! This was amazing!
"Fuck! Harder Edward!" Edward was shocked that she wanted it harder. He held her hips so she couldn't move and indeed gave her exactly what she wanted.
"So...close." After that, all he could make out were her moans and pleas to help her cum. He held her hips steady, reaching around and flicked at her clit. That was all it took and she was screaming his name once again as her pussy tightened around his cock.
Knowing that he needed to see her, Edward pulled out of her and again spun her around. He gripped her by the waist and put her against the now warm tiles. Wrapping her legs around him she was once again impaled on his cock.
Edward gripped her ass as he made her bounce on him. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and had his hair in a death grip. He loved that she played with his hair constantly. It was an extreme turn on for him. He buried his face in her neck as he plowed into her.
Bella could feel the telltale signs of another orgasm rushing to meet her and she actually saw stars. She'd never felt anything this intense before.
"Edward," she gasped. "God, so close...again." That was all she could get out before her inner walls tightened around Edward's cock once again. He leaned back and watched her as her orgasm overtook her. This was why he'd turned her around. He needed to watch her face.
Watching her face pushed him over the edge and he could feel himself spilling in to her. He couldn't even find words. He was gasping and groaning against her neck as his climax hit him with the force of a freight train.
Edward could no longer hold them up so he stumbled backwards to the seat in the shower. Once they had regained their breath, the whispers started.
"Edward, that was amazing. I've...never...felt like that before." She kissed the side of his head, her arms still wrapped around him.
Edward tightened his arms around her, afraid that she would find this side of him depraved. She hadn't said anything to the contrary, but he was a bit timid to face her now.
"Bella, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," he whispered. His head was bowed so she couldn't see his face.
Bella couldn't allow this to happen. Didn't he understand how he made her feel? Didn't he get it? She'd never done anything like this before. She had to explain. Tucking two fingers under his chin, she raised his head up until she could meet his eyes. They were unreadable. He looked so sad. Why?
"Edward, baby, what's wrong? You've done nothing wrong. If I didn't enjoy what we were doing, I would have said something. Please, please don't ruin this." She leaned forward touching her forehead to his. "It was absolutely, without a doubt, the hottest thing I'd ever encountered." She smiled at him hoping that he would be able to see the truth in her eyes, in her face.
Edward really took a good look at Bella then. Her face was flushed, lips swollen from his kisses, and her eyes, they were sparkling.
"Bella, please be serious with me. Did I hurt you?" He was desperate to know.
"Edward, I'm perfectly fine. Better than fine. I feel wonderful. If anything, I should be asking you if I hurt you! I was pulling your hair so hard. Look!" Bella removed her hands from his shoulders, showing him the hair that was tangled in them. Edward just held her hands and kissed each in turn.
"I know that we have to talk about this, but just let me say this. I never want to hurt you. Last night and this morning...they meant so much to me. I've never wanted anyone the way I wanted you this morning, and...I guess -" he sighed, looking down once more. "I guess I wanted to mark you as mine."
Bella smiled, knowing that she wanted to do the same thing.
"Edward, please look back up at me. I felt the same way. I love you and I wanted to whole world to know it." FINALLY a small smirk; a spark of emotion from him! "It's perfectly ok to be rough with me sometimes. It doesn't always have to be wine and roses and soft music."
"I don't know what I did to deserve you Bella. I love you too." He kissed her lightly, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Edward, we'll talk about this more later. We have to get ready for brunch." She kissed the top of his head and grabbed his hand making him stand with her.
They helped each other wash up and soon they were dressed and ready to meet up with his family. Edward hung the sign on the door at the last minute to clean up the room so they wouldn't return to a mess.
He held her hand walking to the elevator and once inside, he leaned over and gave Bella a gentle kiss. He was still riding high from their night together. She ran her fingers through his hair once again, whispering "I love you" as they separated.
Walking through the hotel's restaurant, they soon heard Edward's family laughing and talking together. Alice of course saw them first and ran up to Bella and hugged her tight.
"Bella, you look so great this morning," Alice almost yelled, bouncing on her toes. "Edward, I haven't seen this smile in so long!" She hugged Edward as well giving him a smacking kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning Alice." Edward hugged his sister close letting go of Bella's hand for the first time. He watched as she was well received by his parents as well as Jasper. After the greetings were taken care of, the group of six sat and hand a leisurely brunch. They talked and laughed and had a wonderful time.
'So this is what it feels like to have a large family.' Bella mused. 'Not too bad at all.' She watched Edward as he spoke to his father about going golfing the following weekend.
"Bella, since Edward, Dad and Jasper are going golfing, would you like to join us at the spa?" Alice asked her. They were becoming great friends, and even though she'd only seen Esme a few times, she felt close to her as well.
"I would love to Alice,' she responded with a big smile. "Thank you for inviting me." She looked at Edward again catching him watching her in return. He winked at her and turned back to the conversation he was having with his father.
Once brunch was finished, the other two couples had their own things to do. Trying to settle up the check, all three men argued over who was paying. Edward's father told them to "respect their elders" and snatched the check away, signalling for the waiter. Bella said goodbye to everyone and excused herself to the ladies room while Edward said his.
After finishing up, she checked her reflection in the mirror and almost didn't recognize the woman in front of her. Her eyes sparkled with mirth, she had a permanent smile on her face and she was almost glowing she was so happy. She dried her hands and walked out to meet her handsome boyfriend. She checked the restaurant again, just in case they hadn't left yet, but the table was empty; already cleaned up. Puzzled, she started walking towards the elevator when she heard his voice.
"What are you doing here?" Edward sounded a bit winded.
'What in the world is going on?' Bella thought to herself.
She decided to take a chance and get a bit closer. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw Edward standing with a tall, thin woman with beautiful strawberry blonde hair and bright blue eyes. His back was to her and she was running one hand up and down his arm.
'Oh God! Not again! Why me?' Bella inwardly sobbed, already jumping to conclusions.
Then she actually thought about it. Edward treated her with such love and respect. There was no way he would cheat on her.
'Grow the hell up Bella. Not all men are like Jake.' She berated herself.
She had to trust Edward or they would go nowhere. She wanted to listen a few more minutes before making herself known.
"Edward, you know you want me. Why hide it? When I saw you last night at the ball, I knew we were meant to be." She looked up at him from beneath her lashes, a coy smile on her face.
'I know Edward wouldn't cheat on me.' Bella's faith grew rapidly. 'He is an honorable man.'
"Tanya-" Edward started to speak but he was cut him off by the fingers of her other hand, being placed over his lips. He moved her hand from his face quickly, stepping back away from her. She could tell by the tone of his voice, just saying that one word, that he was exasperated.
'Tanya?...Tanya...Why does that name sound so familiar?' Bella pondered while continuing to watch the scene before her.
"Edward, baby, listen to me."
'Baby? Who the hell does she think she is?'
"You didn't bother to stop our kiss, and you enjoyed my previous...advances." The woman named Tanya winked at Edward, running her tongue along her bottom lip, staring at Edward's mouth.
'Kiss? Oh my God.' Bella was pissed now.
"Listen to me Tanya. You kissed me. You caught me by surprise. I thought you were my girlfriend." Tanya scoffed at him, now glaring, but not removing her hand. "As for your previous advances, they were not encouraged. Seeing how you would try to accost me at the office-" Bella stopped listening at this point.
'The office...Tanya...advances...the office...THE OFFICE? TANYA? The woman who slept with her ex-husband? HOLY SHIT! That's it! I've had enough.'
Bella walked around the corner and cleared her throat, her stance defensive, arms crossed over her chest. Edward swung his head around and seeing Bella, sighed in relief. She could see it in his eyes. His whole face relaxed when he saw her. This made Bella feel a LOT better.
"Bella, baby. There you are. I was just saying to Tanya that I...was...here...are you ok?" Edward looked at Bella, but she was no longer looking at him. She was glaring at Tanya, who was now mimicking Bella's stance and glaring back.
'Shit! How much did she overhear?' Edward was worried about Bella. He'd never seen her look this pissed off before.
"Yes Edward, we're fine baby." Bella heard a low growl coming from the woman in front of her.
"Tanya? Is it?" She cleared her throat again, her voice low and deadly.
"Yes, and you are?" Tanya's eyebrow arched as if daring her to continue speaking to her. "You interrupted us. I was just about to ask Eddie here if he wanted to escort me to the bar to continue our uh...conversation." She winked at Bella, taking a step closer to Edward who quickly took a step back closer to Bella.
"Oh! Where are my manners?" Holding out her hand, she introduced herself. "My name is Bella Swan, formerly Bella BLACK." At Tanya's puzzled look she continued. "You know my ex-husband...Jacob?" Now it was Bella's turn to arch her eyebrow at the blonde.
Edward could only stand back and watch. He was speechless. He could tell the exact moment when Tanya finally understood. This wasn't going to be pretty.
"Uh, well...nice to meet you Bella." Tanya actually took Bella's hand in a hand shake.
'How stupid can she be? Edward thought, cringing.
Once Bella got a hold of Tanya's hand, she hauled her forward to her. Tanya may have a good 5 inches on her, but Bella had the element of surprise. Bella was right in Tanya's face at this point.
"Tell me...Tanya." She looked at her in disgust. "Do you have ANY respect for anyone? Yourself included?" Bella let go of her hand and crossed her arms over her chest again, but by this point, Tanya was struck dumb. She didn't bother moving. Not an inch.
"Excuse me?" Tanya was shocked. She'd never been spoken to that way before.
"Well, it seems to me that a woman who would parade herself around first with a married man, and then throw herself at a man who's already said he has a girlfriend would have absolutely no respect. Not for herself or for anyone else." Bella looked Tanya dead in the eye.
Tanya was a bit intimidated by the smaller woman. She had to try to regain her ground. "Who do you think you are to talk to me that way? You don't look like someone either Jacob or Edward would associate themselves with, let alone sleep with." She tried to get the upper hand by belittling her. Looking into this woman's eyes though...she knew she was in shit.
Bella stood up to her full height, which was quite a bit shorter than Tanya's, and looked at Edward, who was still shocked speechless. She smirked at him and turned back to the woman in front of her, ready to say her piece.
"Listen, Tanya," saying her name sweetly, underlying venom in her voice. "I have only three things to say to you." Tanya, stupidly thinking she had gotten the worst of it already from this mousey woman, quirked her eyebrow with a sneer, waiting for her to continue.
"Number one, how many stuffed animals did you have to kill to look that God-damned ridiculous? I mean seriously, look at yourself. It looks like you skinned a bunch of teddy bears at Toys R Us." Tanya was wearing a "fur coat", although it indeed looked like the innards of stuffed teddy bears. It was ratty and old, and to be honest, it had a bit of a funky smell to it. It looked like the "dress" the white witch wore in the movie "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe".
"Listen bitch! I don't know-"Tanya was outraged, but Bella cut her off, clearly on a roll.
"Number two. MY Edward wouldn't fuck you with Jacob's dick and him just pushing. Honestly, is there any tread left on the tire at all or is it like tossing a hot dog down a hallway? You look like a woman who's been around the block at LEAST a few times...if you catch my drift." Bella winked at her as she heard a cough from beside her. She couldn't afford to look at Edward now...she'd either crack up laughing or start crying. She couldn't let the skank in front of her sense any weakness or the tables would be turned quickly.
Tanya's face by this point was a dark shade of red. She was absolutely furious. Who was this woman to judge her? She wanted to beat the hell out of her. Unfortunately, just like Edward, she was struck mute. She couldn't find her voice at all. She couldn't understand why Edward would let her speak to her the way she was. She'd always been nice to Edward. She would have done anything for him. ANYTHING! Didn't HE understand?
"And number three...and listen to me good bitch, because I'm only going to say this once. Stay away from MY Edward. He's mine. You may have been able to entice my lying cheating scum of an ex-husband over to the dark side by your overused pussy, but Edward...MY Edward...that's another story. Stay. Away." With that, Bella's shoulders relaxed and she smiled sweetly; like sugar wouldn't melt in her mouth. She turned to a still stunned Edward and held her hand out.
"Baby, do you want to go back to our room and finish what we started this morning?" She winked at him and blushed a bit. "You know, we were enjoying it until we had to leave for brunch with your FAMILY." She reached out and took his hand in hers, lacing their fingers together tightly.
She spared Tanya one more glance. The stupid bitch was still speechless.
"I can't tell you how great it is to find an insatiable man like Edward." She tilted her head to the side like she was confiding in Tanya. "We simply can't get enough of each other." She giggled a bit and turned to walk away from the woman, hoping and praying to never set eyes on her again as long as she lived.
Edward looked at his amazing girlfriend and cleared his throat.
"Bel- ahem-Bella?" Edward whispered. Just then the elevator opened, allowing them to step inside.
"Yes Edward?" Truth be told, she was a bit nervous, as she looked up at Edward through her lashes, biting her bottom lip. When she caught his eye, she knew she had no reason to be.
Edward turned to her fully and lightly grasped her hips in his hands, tugging her closer.
"That was by FAR the hottest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life!" Edward leaned in to kiss her passionately as the elevator doors closed. "I love you." Bella giggled in response, reaching her hands up around his neck, embedding her fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck.
Neither paid any attention to the shrieking they heard as they turned their attention back to each other, where it belonged.
Another quick note. I hope you all liked this chapter. I wanted to show a different side to Edward. A sexy side. I also wanted you to see Bella growing up and trusting Edward. Not to mention her standing up for herself and not being a sniveling wimp!
Bella's confrontation did happen. To me. Not word for word, but it did. Good thing my husband and i have a very solid relationship, and I have a sarcastic, sharp wit
I also want to give you all a rec. If you're not reading "His Cimmerian View" by WeeKittyAndTAT, then after reviewing (PLEASE), look it up. It's an amazing story! Drama, romance, friendship, and angst. Extremely well written! I love it.
Now please show me that you forgive my absence by sending me a review
