Chapter Twenty-One: Chicago
We landed in Chicago. Our flight was delayed slightly due to some wind or turbulence or something. We were on the ground a little after one in the morning. Bella was griping that she was tired. Hell, so was I. I kissed her forehead and lead through O'Hare to the baggage claim. Once our bag came around, I swiped it and we headed to the car rental counter. I gave them my name. We were led onto a shuttle bus and to the parking lot for our rental.
We got into the car and I handed Bella the directions to my grandfather's estate. It was located in the affluent Gold Coast neighborhood. It took about an hour to drive to the house. I pulled into the driveway and was astonished at how big the home was.
"What is it with your grandfather and huge houses?" Bella squeaked.
"It seemed so much bigger when I was younger," I said, giving her a wink. "But then again, I was four feet tall, had braces, and a scrawny body. I was such a fucking dork when I was kid."
"I've seen pictures, Edward. You were cute," Bella said as she pinched my cheek.
"Yeah. Whatever," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I bet you were adorable as a child."
"Not really. Knocked-kneed, pigeon toed, frizzy hair, negative A-cups, buck teeth," Bella laughed. "I was lucky that Billy sprung for braces for me. Or else, I'd look like Bugs Bunny." She pulled her bottom lip between her top teeth and made the bunny face. I snorted and fell forward, burying my face in my hands as I laughed hysterically. "Be grateful there are no pictures and proof of my awkwardness, Cullen."
"I would pay MONEY to see those, Bella," I said as I wiped tears from my eyes.
"Yeah, your teeth were worse than mine, Edward," Bella said as she got out of the car.
"This is why I was in braces for nearly four years, Bella," I said as I got as our bags out of the trunk. "Now, I have a perfect smile."
"Yes, you do," she said, pinching my hip. "But, I'm exhausted. Bed! PLEASE! I'm begging you."
I gave her a salute and grabbed my keys. We walked up the steps. I unlocked the door and turned on the lights. The house was very classically and elegantly decorated. I had called the company that my moms used to care for house remove all of the sheets from the furniture. I also asked them to stock the fridge with food and drink. I sent them a list. I could smell a slightly mildewy scent in the house. My guess is that is from the damage to the roof.
We went up the stairs and found the master bedroom. I was almost tempted to go into the bedroom that I stayed in when I was a kid. Bella and I would not fit in a full-sized bed. We could, but it would be a tight fit. I've grown a bit since I last stayed there. And Bella kicks. We decided on the master bedroom with the king-sized bed.
We stripped out of clothes and fell into the bed. Within moments we were both asleep. It was the best sleep we'd both gotten in nearly a month. No worries about James. No worries about work. No worries about school. Just rest and sleep. Something we both desperately needed and I am so grateful that we got it.
The next morning, my cell phone shrilled from the nightstand. I picked it up and it was the contractor calling me to inform me that he was on his way. He'd be at the house in a half hour. I slipped out of the bed and went to the bathroom. I took a hasty shower, washing the grime of traveling off my body. I put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I checked on Bella and she was still curled up in bed. I wrote her a note in case she woke up explaining that the contractor was here and I was with him. I folded the note next to Bella's pillow and kissed her forehead before darting downstairs.
I made myself some breakfast and waited for the contractor. I pulled out my laptop while I nibbled on some toast and worked on a lab report for biology. I was about halfway done with my report when the doorbell rang. I saved my work and went to open the door. Outside was a large man with a friendly smile. "Hi! Are you Edward Cullen?" he asked.
"Yep. You are?" I asked as I held out my hand.
"I'm Jared Wolfe," he said. We shook hands and I led him inside. "It smells like you might have some water damage in here in addition to the roof issue."
"Yeah. It's kind of foul in here," I said, wrinkling my nose. "I just got in last night. I haven't had a chance to inspect the damage."
"No big deal. I saw it when I drove up. I just need access to your attic," Jared said. I nodded and led him upstairs. We got to the attic access and he scrambled up the pull-down ladder. I followed and as soon as I was in the attic, I could smell the foulness. "That is nasty."
"Tell me about it," I grumbled. We checked the damage and Jared explained what he needed to do. Essentially, he'd have to replace the entire roof. In addition to that, he'd have to address the water damage to the attic. It was going to be very expensive. I gulped when he gave me the estimate. Then I remembered in my back account I had nearly twenty times that and could cover it. I decided to go with Jared. He'd begin work on the roof as soon as we left from our vacation. He'd need to check in with the caretakers each day he worked on the house and turn in the key each night. He seemed a little confused about my requests. However, I explained that I lived in Seattle. I couldn't be here to inspect his work and I didn't trust him enough to give him a spare key.
Thankfully, he agreed.
I paid him the deposit and he left the house. I went back upstairs. Bella was still cocooned in the comforter, snoring slightly. I chuckled as I slid in next to her. I wrapped my arm around her waist and gently kissed her neck. She hummed and moved closer to me. A slight smile played on her lips. Her eyes fluttered and she looked up at me. "Morning," she said in a raspy voice. "You're up early."
"It's nearly noon, love," I said as I nibbled on her ear.
"Really?"
"Yep. You didn't even budge when I got up to shower or when the phone rang," I said against her soft skin. "I barely heard it. I was sleeping like the dead."
"Hmmm," she said thoughtfully as she ruffled my slightly damp hair. "You don't have the dark circles under your eyes."
"Neither do you, gorgeous," I said as I cupped her face.
"Yeah, I'm fucking hot," she snickered. "I feel gross from being on the plane. Do they ever wash them?"
"Probably once every couple of years," I laughed. "Come on. The shower is really nice. It's like getting a massage by the water."
"Join me?" Bella purred.
"I've already showered, love."
Bella pouted and averted her gaze to my chest.
"But seeing you naked is definitely swaying me to join you," I said as got up. She squealed and threw her arms around my neck. I picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I carried her to the bathroom. My clothes were tossed off my body. Bella's tank top and panties joined my clothes on the floor. I turned on the shower and we attacked each other in the stall. I could feel my body react to her kisses, caresses and nibbles. My arousal poked Bella in the stomach. She pulled away and gave me a predatory smirk. Gracefully she fell to her knees and grasped my cock. "Bella, you don't have to."
"Yes, I do," she said as she began to pump my erection. And fuck me, it felt so fucking good. She pressed a soft kiss to the tip of my cock. I leaned against the smooth marble of the shower as Bella kissed the length of my cock. "So big, Edward."
I looked down at her and watched as she wrapped her pink lips around my erection. "Fuck," I moaned as she took me into her mouth. She smirked as she began bobbing her head along my length. With one hand, she massaged my balls and the other hand was pumping in conjunction with her mouth. I ran my fingers along her jaw as she slurped and sucked on my arousal.
Bella's fingers glided along the skin behind my balls and I shuddered slightly. Her gentle touch was igniting my skin and my blood. I wanted to pull her from the ground and make love to her. "Bella," I moaned.
She removed her mouth from my cock and ran the head along her wet lips. "So good, Edward. So fucking good," she cooed. Her tongue circled my dick and I rolled my eyes into my head. "Do you want to come, Whip?"
"Fuck yes," I growled.
Bella winked and took me completely in her mouth. I mean, my whole cock was inside her mouth and partially down her throat. Her fingers massaged my balls and her other hand moved to my ass. Her hand danced at my asshole and I bit my lip.
Would she?
I felt her fingers dip inside and that answered my question.
Yes, she would.
With the combination of Bella's mouth, her fingers and just seeing her doing this to me caused my body to explode. A litany of expletives left my mouth as I came violently. Bella swallowed all of my release. She sucked off my cock with a pop and stood up. "Breakfast of champions. Cullen spooge."
"Really?" I asked, arching a brow.
"Mmhmm," Bella smirked. "Can you wash my back?" I rolled my eyes at her blasé attitude from my insane orgasm. The most intense orgasm I'd ever had. In all of my life. Imagine when I get to make love to her. I think I'd explode. I mean, really.

The afternoon was spent roaming around Grant Park and Millennium Park. Bella's eyes were lit up like a Christmas tree. She was so excited and seeing Chicago through her eyes made me excited. We walked through the city with our hands linked and we didn't have a care in the world. She was happy. I was happy. We were both happy and I didn't want it to end.
We also went to Lincoln Park Zoo. That was interesting. Bella had never gone to a zoo before. Her mom was too strung out to take her and her foster families were just assholes. She felt bad for the animals in captivity. However, she giggled when we got the lion exhibit. She looked at the lion and then to me. And then back to the lion.
"You two look like you have the same hair stylist," she giggled.
"I do not look like a lion," I mumbled. "I just need a haircut."
"Oh no, it's more than that. Edward, you're hair is a hot mess. I love you, but you and our feline friend have the same affinity for bad hair," Bella giggled.
"Whatever, Bane," I said as I rolled my eyes.
She laughed and we continued walking. Bella said that she had to go to the bathroom. As she did that, I snuck into a gift shop. I grabbed a stuffed lion and paid for it. I was waiting for Bella when she got back. She eyed me warily as I smiled sweetly at her. I linked my hand with hers, swinging my bag with my other hand. "You look like the cat that got the canary."
"Nope," I smirked. She sighed and we continued going through the zoo. We finished our stop at the zoo and drove back to the house. Bella said that she would make dinner with the food that the caretaker left for us. I nodded and went up to the bedroom. I placed the lion onto the pillow with a snicker. I grabbed my laptop and continued working on my biology lab report. I was grumbling about some table that would load right and I was ready to throw my laptop out the window.
"Edward, come get dinner. It'll spare your computer," Bella snickered. I sighed and saved my work. I sat down in the kitchen. We ate a quiet dinner of stir fry and conversation. Bella was so excited about what we did today. I was so happy that I gave her that joy. As we were washing the dishes, I dipped her into a passionate kiss. She laughed against my mouth and tangled her fingers into my hair. "What was that for?" she asked as I righted her.
"Just because," I replied as I sat on the counter. "It's nice to see you smile. Hear you laugh. See the light in your eyes."
"You did that, Edward," she said shyly. "You've given me so much."
"I'd do it again," I whispered.
"Thank you. I love you, Edward,"
"I love you, too."
She looked up at me and she grinned. Her face was so beautiful. It was slightly pink from being out in the sun. Her eyes were sparkling. Her hair was shiny. She looked so healthy and happy. We spent the night watching a movie on television. Or rather the huge flat screen that pretended to be a television. Once the movie was over, I told Bella that I was going to lock up the house. She nodded and went upstairs to the bedroom. I waited at the foot of the stairs. "Edward CULLEN!" she squealed. "Get your skinny ass up here."
I snorted and ran up the stairs. Bella was sitting on the bed, hugging the lion. Her expression was almost childlike in its awe and excitement. "You like your surprise?"
"I love him," she said as she launched herself into my arms. She peppered my face with kisses. "Thank you. Thank you. I love you. You're awesome. I love you. Thank you!"
We fell into the bed and made out like horny teenagers all night long. We did some heavy petting, but clothes stayed on. I could tell that Bella was getting more comfortable with me. However, I was suffering the worst case of blue balls ever. We fell asleep in each other's arms. Bella's head was resting on my chest and she was wrapped around me so tightly. I held her and fell into my own deep sleep.
The next morning dawned bright and sunny. We shared a shower again this morning. Our making out continued from last night. However, this time we both got our release. We both used our hands and nothing was as beautiful as seeing Bella come. She was so beautiful. Her skin flushed pink and her moans were outstanding. My dick got hard just imagining her sounds.
"Edward? You're in la-la land," Bella laughed as she scrunched her hair.
"Sorry. Just imagining your sounds. That's fucking hot," I said with a wink. "How's the mane?"
"A hot mess," Bella said. "But I love it. Just like I love you."
"Love you, sexy," I said as I smacked her ass. She squeaked and I laughed as I went to get dressed. I rarely wore shorts but it was going to be fucking hot today. I pulled out my gray shorts and tossed them on my body. "Ugh."
"What?" Bella asked.
"I'm so fucking pasty," I said as I gestured to milky white, hairy legs.
"You could always get your calves inked," Bella shrugged.
"Maybe."
She dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a white shirt with a black heart on it. She put on her jewelry and darted out of the bedroom. I rubbed my face and threw on my own shirt. I swiped a pair of short socks and sneakers. I followed Bella downstairs. She was toasting some bagels and brewing some coffee.
Hmmmmm…coffee…
"What time is our reservation for the Hanover Signature room?" Bella asked.
"Hancock, love. Hancock. And it's at eight," I snickered. "Hanover?"
"Shut it. Never been to Chicago, ass," she said, narrowing her eyes.
"Sorry, Bella," I said, trying to suppress my grin. I was failing miserably. She smacked my arm and tossed a bagel in front of me on a plate. We ate our breakfast and drank our coffee. Once we were done, Bella handed me her driver's license and debit card I had gotten for her that was attached to my account. I slipped them into my wallet and we headed to Navy Pier. I parked the car and we got out. We first wandered around the outdoor area with the Ferris wheel and other attractions. We tried our hands at putt-putt golf. Bella totally creamed me.
And she reminded me as often as she could.
Don't emasculate me anymore than already necessary, Swan.
We went on the Ferris wheel next. Bella was freaking a little. Okay, a lot. However, I promised her that it was safe and that I would take care of her. We got into the carriage and she clutched to my waist. I would have distracted her with a kiss or two, but we had a family across from us. That wouldn't be appropriate. Plus the father was looking at me like I was the scum of the earth. I guess tattoos and piercings are not appropriate to show off at Navy Pier.
We got off the Ferris wheel and the father muttered that I was a 'punk.'
"Excuse me?" Bella seethed.
"I wasn't talking to you, miss," the dad lied smoothly.
"No, you were just calling my boyfriend a punk and giving him the evil eye the entire ride. What the fuck?" Bella spat.
"Sweetheart, relax," I said, as I put my arm around her waist.
"I don't appreciate your tone," he dismissed.
"I don't appreciate your prejudice. Yes, he has tattoos. Yes, he has piercings. But he's a thousand times the man you will ever be. You need to look past the obvious to the goodness in their heart. Do you know what I see when I see you? A black soul who only cares about the people who are EXACTLY like him. So fuck you, buddy," Bella sobbed as she turned on her heel. She ran through the crowd.
"Crazy bitch," he growled.
"Oh, you ass," I said as I reared back and punched him in the jaw. He fell to the ground and his son stared at me like I was Superman. I put my finger to my lips at the boy. He nodded and gave me a thumbs up. I darted off to find Bella. She was halfway down the pier, curled up on a bench. "Bella?"
She looked up and gave me a watery smile. "I'm sorry about ruining our day."
"You didn't ruin our day, love," I said as I sat down. "Thank you for sticking up for me."
"I hated the way he was looking at you. Like the dirt under his shoes was better than you," she said, tears spilling over her cheeks. "You are so special, Edward."
"So are you," I said as I tucked a hair behind her ear.
"Edward, I've been doing a lot of thinking," she began.
"That's dangerous," I laughed.
Bella smacked my arm and rolled her eyes. "Be serious, Whip."
I nodded and looked into her brown depths. They were still filled with tears but she was determined.
"I want to be with you. All of you. Please?" She looked down and fussed with the hem of her t-shirt. I could tell that she was biting her lip and she shifted nervously on the bench.
"What?" I asked. My brows shot to my hairline and I gulped.
"I want you to make love to me," she said, looking in my eyes. She was piercing my soul with her cinnamon orbs. "Tonight after dinner. I want to feel you. Be with you. I want to love you in every way."
I cupped her heart shaped face with my hands. I searched her eyes for any fear. Any trepidation. Any hesitation. I saw none. I only saw love and determination. She laid her hands on my mine, lightly stroking the skin on my wrists. I leaned forward and kissed her soft mouth. Our tongues tangled together and I felt my cock wake up in my shorts. We pulled apart and I leaned my forehead against hers. We sat there for a few minutes before getting up.
As we walked back to the rental car, I danced internally at what was going to happen tonight. Bella and I were going to make love. I would get to show her how much I loved her. In every way.
We got back to the house and Bella darted off to the bathroom. She said that she needed to talk to Alice. She also needed to shower. I went to my laptop and finished working on my lab report while Bella did her girly things. I saved it and emailed it off to my biology professor.
After I finished my emailing my report, my cell phone rang. It was Alice. "Hello?"
"Bella just called me. She said that you two are going to do the deed," Alice said. "I'm so happy for you. Do you have anything planned? Candles? Flowers? Peen piercing?"
"Fuck, Alice," I said as I rubbed my face. "She just kind of dropped the bomb on me at Navy Pier. I hadn't really planned anything."
"Go get some candles or something," Alice said. "Maybe some jewelry."
"Alice, we're making love. We're not going to the opera."
"You are an ass, Whip," Alice grumbled.
"And I'm going, psycho little midget," I laughed. "I need to get some candles or some shit."
"Whatever, Whip. Talk to you later," Alice said.
I rolled my eyes and hung up. I ran up to the bedroom. I heard the shower going. I knocked on the door and Bella beckoned me inside. She was standing in front of the mirror in a towel. "I have to go run an errand. I'll be back soon, love."
"Everything okay?"
"Everything's fine," I said. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her neck. She giggled and I pulled away. "Love you."
"Love you, too," she said. I darted out to the car and drove to a nearby Yankee Candle. I purchased several French vanilla candles. I also went to a drug store to get some condoms. I wasn't sure if Bella wanted me to use one. Pregnancy wasn't an issue but I was with a lot of women in my past. I was clean but you never know. I paid for them and drove back to the house. I carried the bag up to the bedroom and hid it in the closet. I grabbed my clothes from there and went to shower in the guest bathroom. Bella was still puttering in the master bathroom.
I was shaving when Bella knocked on the door of the guest bathroom. Her hair was in soft curls and her makeup was edgy and smoky. "If you want to use the master bathroom, you can," she said.
"I'm just shaving. I'm almost done," I said. She smiled and closed the door. I finished my face and put on my aftershave. I attacked my head with some gel and tried to style my mess of hair. I gave up and decided to get dressed. I put on a pair of black dress pants, a red shirt and a black tie. I left the top button undone and didn't tie the tie all the way. I still looked dressed up but casual at the same time. I put on my watch and went downstairs. Bella was sitting at the counter and was working on my laptop.
"What are you doing, love?"
"Researching a few things," she said. "Getting my GED and babies."
"That's a wide range of research," I replied. "What did you find?"
"In regards to getting my GED, I just need to take a few classes online and I can take the test. In regards to the babies, I was looking up adoption and surrogacy."
"How can we use a surrogate?" I asked. "You had a hysterectomy."
"My uterus was removed. I still have my ovaries. Which means I still have my eggs," she said, looking up at me. "I could legitimately have your child, if we use a surrogate."
"Really?" I asked, my eyes wide with excitement. We could have a baby. I bit my lip, playing with my lip ring. "A baby?"
"Do you want one with me?" she asked, a blush covering her cheeks.
"When the time is right, definitely, Bella," I answered, cupping her face in my hands. "However, I may be a tattooed and pierced freak, but I'm old fashioned. I want to married to you before we talk about children. I want to see my ring on your finger and have you walk down the aisle to me in a white dress."
"Who says that I'm going to wear white? I'm certainly not a virgin," she snickered.
"Neither am I, but I want to see you in that gown," I whispered. "It could be short and indecent, but as long as it's white, then I'm a happy camper."
"How about a white bikini? Get married on a beach," Bella asked, arching a brow.
"I'd blind people with the pastiness of my skin," I laughed. "Come on, love. We have a delicious dinner waiting for us at the Hanover Signature room."
"Hancock, Whip," she laughed, weaving her hands into my hair.
"I'd rather have your hands on my cock," I cooed as I nibbled on her ear. She shuddered and pulled me closer to her body.
"Once we get home, you will," she purred in my ear. "Come on, stud. Let's get some food." She hopped off the stool near the kitchen island and sashayed to the garage door. I adjusted my erection and looked at my girl. She looked absolutely beautiful. She was wearing a tight black and gray dress. Her feet were in a pair of gray pumps. She was absolutely sinful. My jaw scraped the ground. "And just to let you know, Edward, this outfit is not really conducive to underwear. So, I'm not wearing any."
"Okay, all of the blood in my body is right here," I said as I gestured to my dick. "We're not going anywhere. I want to have my way with you, woman."
She smirked and went out into the garage. I rubbed my face and followed her, picking up the keys as I headed into the rental car. I drove us to the Hancock building. I parked the car using the valet. We were early, so we went up to the bar until our reservations. We both ordered some soda. The bartender gave us both the stink eye, but I was not in the mood for his shit. I said that we were both recovering alcoholics and we didn't need his judgment. He apologized and said that our drinks were on the house.
We finished our drinks and went up to the restaurant. We were sat right away and were lucky enough to get a table by the window. It overlooked a lit up Chicago skyline. Bella was looking out the window in complete awe. It's amazing that woman as tough as her could be so sheltered in the ways of the world. Never flown on a plane. Never been to a zoo. Never had an experience like this.
We placed our orders. Or rather, I ordered for the both of us. Bella didn't know what half of the stuff was on the menu. She blushed furiously when she admitted it. I took her hand and said I'd take care of her. And I would. Forever.
I'd never thought I'd find the love of my life. Of my existence. Let alone that person be the one who could make my life a living hell. Bella was so harsh in the beginning but seeing her change was nothing short of a miracle. She still had a long way to go, but she was well on her way to being a strong recovering addict. She was too stubborn not to give up. She would have difficult days, but we'd get through them. Together.
Over dinner, Bella and I discussed her getting her GED. The classes that she needed to take were online so we'd be able to have her take them while I was in school. I didn't want her to put that off. I also wanted her to apply for college. She was smart enough. But, it was up to Bella.
We finished our dinner and had some delicious dessert. I never felt so full in my life. My stomach was easily twice its usual size. Bella was gently rubbing her belly "I think I need to run home. I'm so full."
"Me too," I said as I patted my stomach. "Full, that is. I don't think I can run home. My lungs might revolt. Smoking nearly a pack a day has caused me to lose my athleticism."
"You're pretty athletic," Bella said. "Muscular."
"Muscles, yes. Endurance? Hell, no," I snickered. "I could probably run to the corner and then die of a heart attack. I've already had one, you know."
"I know," Bella frowned. "Too young to have had one."
"It was my own fault. But, I know that I can't do that shit anymore," I said. The waiter came with the bill. I slipped my credit card into the folder and handed it back to him. "I have too much to live for." I stared into Bella's eyes and willed that she knew that I was talking about her. She was my life. I'd do anything for her. Absolutely anything. The waiter returned with the check. I quickly figured out the tip and signed the slip. I offered Bella my hand and led her down to the entrance.
The valet pulled up the car. I helped Bella into the passenger seat and slid into the driver's side, giving the attendant a tip. I laced my fingers with Bella's and drove us back to the house. She was quiet. Introspective, almost. However, her fingers were gripping mine tightly. I pulled into the garage and helped Bella out of the car.
"I need to do something upstairs," I said once we were inside.
"Everything okay?" she asked.
"Everything's fine," I said as I cupped her chin. "I just want to make this perfect. For you."
"It will be," she whispered. I smiled and kissed her lips.
"I'll come get you when I'm ready," I said with a wink. She rolled her eyes and sat down in the living room. I darted up the stairs and put the candles around the room. I lit them with my lighter and removed my tie. The bedroom was bathed in the flickering light of the candles. It was filled with the scent of French vanilla.
I went back downstairs and found Bella surfing on my laptop. The site that was open was one on surrogacy. It was obvious that she wanted to have children. With me. I couldn't believe that. I still couldn't believe that she loved me. That she wanted me. All of me. I snuck up behind her and gently kissed her neck. She jumped slightly but melted into my embrace. She turned in my arms. Her hands moved to my neck and she pulled my face closer to hers. She tentatively caressed her lips against mine. I followed her lead and moved my mouth with hers.
"Take me upstairs, Edward," she murmured against my mouth. I smiled and picked her up, bridal style. Our lips were still moving with each other as I carried her up the stairs. Once we got into the bedroom, I pulled my face away from hers. Bella gasped quietly as she looked around the room. The candles were flickering and it was romantic. "It's so beautiful, Edward."
"You're more beautiful," I said as I kissed her lips. She giggled and reached for the buttons of my shirt. She unbuttoned about half of them before I set her down on her feet. The rest of my shirt was undone and it was tossed onto the floor. She went to kiss my chest, but I captured her chin. "This is about you, love."
"But…"
"No buts," I said as kissed her lips. I moved my mouth along her jaw, nibbling on her supple skin. My hands moved to her back and I pulled her flush to my body. She moaned quietly as she tangled her hands into my hair. My lips moved down her neck and I kissed along her collarbones. I reached behind her and gently pulled on the zipper of her dress. It loosened. I pushed the strap of her dress over her shoulder and I kissed her flesh. Her moans were getting louder. "I love the sounds you make, love."
"Keep it up and you'll get more of 'em," she smirked.
"All night, beautiful," I said as I pulled the dress from her body. She was telling the truth about being completely naked underneath her dress. My breath caught as I saw her beautiful body. She blushed furiously and went to cover herself. "Don't, Bella. You're perfect."
"Hardly," she snorted.
"You are the most beautiful woman in the world to me," I said as I captured her chin, staring into her cinnamon depths. She opened her mouth to protest but I silenced it with a kiss. I pushed us back to the bed and lay Bella onto the comforter. She opened her legs and settled between them. We kissed heavily for a few moments before I started traveling further south. I'd felt her body and now I needed a taste. I swirled my tongue along her nipple and gently cupped her other breast. She arched into my touch and I smiled against her skin. I kissed further down her body until I reached her bellybutton.
"Edward," she said as she looked down at me. "You don't…I want you to…but…"
"Shhh, love," I said as I fell to my knees in front of her. "Let me make you feel good. Please?" She bit her lip and nodded. I picked up one of her legs and kissed from her ankle to her inner thigh. Her body rolled at my touch. I repeated the same action with the other leg. I watched her with rapt attention as I wanted to see her. See her come undone. See her explode in pleasure on my fingers. On my face. On my tongue.
I spread her legs and stared at her glistening sex. I swallowed convulsively before pressing my lips to her swollen bud. Once I did, Bella let out the most glorious moan. Her legs fell over my shoulders and her hands tangled into my hair. She was pulling on it painfully but it felt so good. The taste of Bella was amazing. She was sweet with a slight spiciness. I swirled my tongue on her clit. Her hips moved in conjunction with my tongue. Her hands moved to her breasts. She was squeezing and teasing them with her fingers. My cock was straining in my pants.
I needed her.
I wanted her.
I loved her.
And I'd have her.
Tonight.
I spread her lips with my fingers and gently nibbled on her clit as I slipped my other hand into her warmth. She jerked her body at the feeling. I gently pumped my fingers into her body, reveling in how tight she was. She was perfect. She was beautiful. She was mine.
Mine!
I curled my fingers into her body, feeling soft, spongy spot of her body that made her come. Her hands moved to my hair and she tugged on it forcefully. I sucked on her clit and flicked it with my tongue as I curled my fingers. "Edward," she moaned loudly. "Fuck!"
"Later, love," I said as nibbled on her swollen bud. She arched off the bed and thrust her hips closer to my face. Her moans and groans were getting louder. The muscles of her pussy were clinching my fingers and I could feel that she was close. She gripped the sheets as she squeezed my head with her thighs. I kept my mouth on her clit as I pumped and curled into her body. Bella let out a guttural scream as she clamped down on my fingers. Her arousal spilled out of her body forcefully. I kept my face attached to her body as she rode out her orgasm. I flicked her clit a few time until she pushed my head away from her pussy. I leaned my head against her thigh. "So?"
"Your tongue should be bronzed, Whip," she giggled. "But I still want you."
"Good, because I think I bust off the button off my pants," I smirked. She laughed and dragged me up to her mouth. She kissed my lips sweetly. She moaned quietly as she tasted herself on my tongue and lips. Her fingers moved to my pants and she all but ripped the button and zipper down. My pants and boxers were pooled around my ankles. I crawled onto the bed and lay on my back. Bella arched her brow. "You're in control, love."
"You'll move if I ask you to, right?" she questioned.
"Yep, but you set the pace," I said as I had her straddle my legs. She pumped my arousal and bit her lip. "Are you sure you want this?"
Her cinnamon eyes met mine and she laced her fingers with mine. "I've never been surer in my life," she murmured. She moved over my cock and slowly eased her heat over me.
Sweet baby Jesus…
"Edward. God," she moaned as she fully enveloped me into her body. She looked down at me and slowly rotated her hips. Nothing could describe how it felt to be inside of her. With no condom.
Shit!
"Bella," I moaned as I sat up cupping her face. "I know it's a little late, but do you want me to wear a condom?"
"No. All of you," she murmured. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she undulated over me. I'd never had sex without a condom and I know that pregnancy wasn't an issue. I was going into sensory overload. I could feel all of her heat. All of her arousal. All of her. I seriously was going to come if I didn't come if I didn't calm down.
As Bella moved above me, she stared into my eyes. I followed suit and gently cupped her face as we made love. Every ounce of love that I felt for this woman was being poured out of my soul as I moved with her. She kissed my face, my lips, my eyes, my cheeks as she moved. "I love you, Edward," she whispered.
"I adore you, Bella. Forever, love," I said reverently. She moved faster on my cock and her eyes fluttered shut. I moved my hips with hers and I was inside of her so deeply. I could feel the tingle in my belly of my impending release. I was so close. "Bella…I'm…"
"Let go, Edward. I want to feel you come inside me," she said as she tugged on my hair. Her words were my undoing. My jaw fell open and I came inside of her body, filling her with my release. She moaned and I felt her muscles clamp down. We moved our hips a few more times before I slipped out of her folds. "That was amazing, Whip."
"It was. I think the earth tipped on its axis," I said as ran my fingers along her spine. "Are you okay?"
"Better than okay. I'm perfect," she smiled. "Thank you for being so gentle. I know you have a wild side, but I needed this."
"Like I said, you were in charge. I won't ever push you to do something that you are not comfortable doing," I murmured.
"Before the attack, I was comfortable doing anything," she said. "I want to get back to that. I want it all with you, Whip."
"And I'll try my best to give you it all," I said as I brushed her hair from her slightly flushed face. She kissed my lips and crawled off my lap. She got under the covers. I blew out the candles and curled around her. She laced her fingers with mine and kissed my jaw. "I love you, Bella."
"I love you, Whip," she giggled.
"Bane."
"Yep. Go to sleep, Whip. I expect round two sometime in the middle of the night," she laughed.
"Good lord, I've created a monster," I snorted.
"Yes. Yes. You did. But you love me. Good night, Whip," she said.
"Good night, Bane," I sighed.
A/N: They did it. Do you think there will be repercussions on Bella's behalf? Anyhow, I hope you liked it. Update will probably be sometime next weekend. Also, check out my blog for any teasers or pictures from the story. Link is in my profile. Leave me some!
