Chapter 20

Edward owned the softest sheets in the world. I could almost still feel them wrapped around my body. Crisp, white, silky. It had been near torture extracting myself from the fine, Egyptian cotton.

Not as torturous as leaving Edward, of course.

I took a sip from my coffee and attempted to shut out the white noise of the café around me. I closed my eyes and tried to remember, unwilling to accept that I was at work and not still in Edward's bed.

Edward had been half asleep when I got out of bed in the morning. The sheets were draped over his waist, leaving his perfect chest bare. He watched me as I gathered my discarded clothes from the floor. His eyes were dark and predatory and I could almost see the memories of last night floating through his head.

His hand had reached out then, beckoning me back to his bed. I'd stared at his fingertips for a good ten seconds before crawling seductively over his naked body and pressing my bare skin against his. I wanted him again. I expected that I would always want him that way, now that I'd had him.

It only took a few minutes before our bodies were joined again and our heated moans and groans were echoing off the walls in his bedroom. His eyes closed as he pressed his head back into the pillow and his hands gripped my waist tightly as I sunk down on top of him. I could remember every place on my body where his hands touched my skin. They were like burn scars, seared forever in my memory.

My hands had been pressed to his chest, fingers flexing over his muscles as my back arched each time he–

I shrieked as a pair of warm and familiar lips pressed a kiss to my cheek. "Good morning," he cooed in my ear.

I placed a hand over my heart and tried to calm my breathing as Edward walked around me to sit at the chair across the table. "Daydreaming, I see," he said with a smirk.

The noises of the café suddenly returned to full volume and I stared, wide-eyed at the coffee in my hands. I had to separate memory Edward from actual Edward. It was pretty easy, seeing as this Edward had clothes on. I hadn't seen him since I left his house that morning.

"Can you blame me?" I said, taking another sip of my coffee.

Edward kept his eyes on me as he shook his head back and forth. "We probably shouldn't talk about it here. It's a long walk back to my office."

I snorted into the lid of my cup.

"But since we're on the subject…" He leaned forward and took my hand. "Have I told you how amazing last night was?"

I smirked. "Only a few hundred times."

"Well then let me reiterate." He lowered his head and looked at me through his eyelashes. My mouth fell open. "Last night was incredible." He kissed the top of my hand.

"I'd have to agree with you there."

Edward kept my hand in his as he sipped his coffee. "Do you want to do something tonight?"

I narrowed my eyes. "Do something? Is that code?"

He chuckled. "No, it's not. Can I take you to dinner after work?"

"Again?"

"Are you sick of me already?"

"No, of course not." I squeezed his hand tightly. "You're surprising me. I'm not sure what to expect with us."

Edward sighed and moved his thumb back and forth on the top of my hand. The gesture still gave me goose bumps. "You should always expect it because you deserve it. Drama or not, you're my girlfriend."

We shared a secret smile for another few moments before Edward pushed his chair back and stood from the table. He buttoned his suit jacket and looked over towards the office building. "I have to go, I have meetings all day. I can't make lunch today, I'm sorry."

I looked up at him as he walked around the table to stand beside me. "It's okay," I said. "I'll finally get a chance to read my book."

He leaned down and pressed a smiling kiss to my lips. "Lucky you. Have a good day." Another kiss. "I love you."

I kissed him back. "Love you too."

I bit down on my coffee lid as I watched him walk away. Tight. Gray. Pants. The 'worst' part was that I now knew what he hid under those suits.

Fine suit or not, they all looked much better on the floor.

A/N: Perhaps this is not what you were expecting. *shrugs* I couldn't let her think about the WHOLE thing while she was at work? Could I? ;) Trust me when I say, Wednesday's update will be more of what you were expecting. Do de doo.
