"By the way, tell your bl….Edward I can smell him. He might as well come on out."
Of course I knew from Jacob's thoughts he could smell me near since he had been there. I had kept my distance the entire night, although he'd had been purposely flirting with Bella, knowing I was nearby. He didn't suspect I could read his mind; he just knew I was close. The only reason I stayed out of sight was the realization from his thoughts that he didn't have any romantic interest in Bella.
I watched him carefully as I slowly walked over to Bella. My arms went around her and I pulled her tight to me.
"Jacob," I acknowledged him with a nod.
"Edward," he replied.
Get over it, Dude. I get the picture. She's yours. Do you really think I want a girl that reeks with your scent? Sure, she's hot, but no way.
I almost smirked at his thoughts, wondering how he would feel if we did tell him about his behavior in Alice's vision. Bella then decided to break the ice.
"Jacob, do you have a problem with my being with Edward?" she asked.
He thought over her question, not seeming to have any issues with our relationship. Sure, he had instinctive repulsion toward me, but he also held a better opinion of my family than others on the reservation. Jacob looked up to Charlie, seeing him as a second father figure, particularly enjoying the long fishing trips and chats the two of them had together. I felt a slight pang of jealousy over the strong relationship between Jacob and Charlie, wanting something similar for myself.
However, the bond between them and Charlie's affection and appreciation of my family appeared to provide a foundation of trust in Jacob's mind towards us. He didn't consider us threats despite the vitriol from the elders, which he believed was both unwarranted and untrue.
For the first time since learning of Alice's vision, I felt a compulsion to inform Jacob about some details of the future and believed he was someone we could trust and rely on. It was staggering that this fifteen-year-old boy encompassed more understanding and wisdom than other tribesmen much older.
Sure, he was still juvenile at times, but what adolescent boy didn't have some level of immaturity?
"No, I don't," he said, making it obvious others did. He shrugged. "It's none of my business. I don't really understand it, but I have no problems with you."
I had a feeling Bella was going to help him understand.
"You were there the other night, listening to Carlisle explain to the elders the bond between Edward and me is similar to that of your imprinting," Bella began, waiting until he nodded to continue.. "It's true, Jacob. He's my soulmate, and I am his."
He was skeptical.
"You've only known each other a few weeks. How do you know for sure you are mates?" he asked.
"Just as you would know instantly if you saw your imprint. The immediate pull toward each other, like magnets. The electric pulse that flows between us when we touch. Most importantly, we know if we were ever separated, it would destroy us both," Bella told him.
He digested the information, actually keeping an open mind. He thought about Sam and Emily and how their connection was immediate. Jake witnessed firsthand how their immediate bond resulted in Sam hurting Leah in a way he never wanted to. He had truly loved her, but Emily changed everything. He didn't miss the subtlety of Bella's suggestion of never being able to part.
"But, how do you know it would destroy you if Edward was gone?" he asked.
They are keeping something from me, and I want answers.
Bella looked over at the house, probably wondering how long Charlie and Billy would keep themselves occupied before coming out to look for them. She rubbed my arms, which were still holding her to me.
"Jacob, let's walk a little ways into the woods. We have some things to tell you."
Her tensed body released a gust of air, as if she had made a decision and was set on her path. She was about to reveal more to Jacob about Alice's vision, but I didn't know to what extent. I released her from my embrace, but held her hand in mine as she led us into the woods.
Jacob followed, thinking about how Carlisle told the elders certain future events and wondering if Bella would reveal more about them. He was more intuitive than I imagined he would be. We didn't walk long, ending up in a small clearing where several large logs were laid out to sit on. After Bella chose a spot, I took a seat next to her and Jacob sat across from us. Bella took a couple calming breaths before looking at him.
"Jacob, I know we can't be separated. The same way I know when you phase you can hear the thoughts of your fellow wolves. I also know when Sam gives you a command, you have to obey. You have no choice in the matter, because he's the alpha."
Jacob's eyes widened as Bella revealed her knowledge of the wolves. He didn't understand how she knew things nobody outside the tribe should know. His heart started beating faster when Bella spoke her next words.
"Jacob, you are the rightful descendent to be alpha. Why are you reluctant to take something that is yours?"
I don't want to lead a pack. I don't want to lead the tribe. I'm only fifteen. I shouldn't have to deal with all of this right now.
I felt bad for him, listening to his scared, rambling thoughts. I wasn't sure if anything I said would calm him or make him more emotional.
"Jacob, I know it probably seems overwhelming to think about taking over the alpha role. I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that you are truly the best one to lead. Your age isn't important. It is your heart and your willingness to be open to possibilities which make you a strong leader," I said to him softly.
Why is he being nice to me? I've been goading him all night, just for fun. I need to know what they're keeping from me.
"When Carlisle first went to the elders to renew the pact, why did he tell them Paul would phase next, but say nothing about me? Did your psychic vampire miss something, or did you want to keep me in the dark?" he asked, watching me closely.
Bella spoke up before I could say a word.
"No, Jake. They weren't trying to hide information about you phasing. It was just that it came earlier than was expected," Bella said.
"Why?" he asked her. She shook her head.
"I'm not sure exactly. I think anger or strong emotions may be a catalyst for when you first phase, and the confrontation between Sam and I upset you enough to trigger it."
She lowered her head, looking at the ground. She still harbored so much guilt, thinking she was the cause of his phasing.
"I'm really sorry if my actions that night had anything to do with your change."
Sam was being a dick. I don't know why she's blaming herself. I wonder if she's right about that triggering my change?
"Don't worry about it, Bella. Apparently, it was going to happen sooner or later." He paused for a moment, but he had more questions about what we knew of the future. "So...um, is there anything else you know that's going to happen to me?"
Bella briefly glanced at me before turning toward him again.
"We know there are going to be three nomadic vampires in the area in a few weeks. It would be great if you could keep a lookout for them. There will be a red-headed woman, an olive-skinned man, and a blond-haired man. They are dangerous, and the Cullens are planning to kill them to prevent them from harming others," she told him.
That was a smart decision.
She was making him feel camaraderie with us as well as giving him information about the future. He looked at me.
"You would kill your own kind?" he asked. He really believed we would protect dangerous vampires instead of stopping them from harming humans. It was obvious he still had some doubts about my family.
"Yes. We live the way we do because we don't believe in taking human lives. We would protect this community against vampires that did not share our diet. These vampires, in particular, are extremely dangerous, and we will hunt them down and end them," I explained to him.
From what I could tell of his thoughts, Jacob believed me. My head turned suddenly toward the house as I heard Charlie wondering where Bella and Jacob were. I squeezed her hand a second before his voice yelled out.
Bella yelled back to him that they would be there in a second. She looked back at Jake, who wanted to ask more questions.
"Jake, we can talk more another time. For now, please think about what we told you; not only about the relationship between Edward and I, but also about how you are strong enough to be the leader you were born to be." She turned to me. "I'm going to go back in. Come back later?" I nodded to her, and she turned to walk back.
Jacob hesitated for a moment, before facing me.
"I guess you aren't so bad," he said with a small smile. "Sorry about trying to get under your skin before. I was just playing around because I knew you were out here listening."
I smiled back at him.
"It's alright. You never know, Jacob. We may just end up being friends one day," I said.
I may be able to live with a Jacob that didn't covet Bella. He snorted, but grinned.
"I guess we'll see. Bye, Edward. Say 'hi' to the Grim Reaper for me," he joked, before turning to follow Bella, who was watching the exchange between us with a twinkle in her eye.
"See you later, Jacob. Watch out for fleas."
His echoing laughter actually made me smile. I smiled even more when I listened to Billy's frustrated thoughts. He had tried talking to Charlie about keeping Bella from our family. Charlie cut him off every time he started saying negative things about us. Billy was close to revealing to Charlie that we were vampires, but had held his tongue.
They left soon after Bella and Jacob returned, and I met Bella upstairs when she went to bed. When we laid there wrapped around each other, I told her Billy's thoughts.
"You really think he would tell Charlie?" she asked me.
The truth was I didn't know. His behavior was so extreme; I didn't quite understand his motivations. He did similar things in Alice's vision, like paying Jacob to give Bella a warning by showing up to our prom.
"I don't know, Bella. He'd be risking a lot if he took it to that level. I think we should wait and see what happens with Jacob."
I changed the subject, burying my face in the crook of her neck and licking her sweet skin. When I had her in my arms, I didn't want to think about Billy Black. I loved the way her body reacted to me, the way her aroused scent spiked when my lips and tongue stimulated particular areas.
I had never had as much fun learning new things as I did when exploring what made my Bella excited. The greatest symphonic performance in history couldn't compare to the soft mewls she released when my fingers caressed her breasts or her cries when my tongue plunged inside her.
What noises would she make when we made love?
I would be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for us to complete our bond during our weekend together. I tried to calm down my overwhelming desire, but it was difficult when the thought of being inside Bella was so salient. I finally pulled away from her a little, knowing she needed rest. It was a school night, after all.
I hummed to her as I played out my plans for our date the next evening and the rest of the weekend in my mind. I was going to take her on a normal, human-style first date, including dinner and a movie.
The next day, Jasper and Emmett burst into my room when I came home to change before picking up Bella for school. I sighed, realizing what was coming. Emmett threw his arm around my shoulders, and I tried to shrug him off.
"Eddie, we need to talk. You're about to become a man, and we feel it's our duty, as your brothers, to fill you in on how to satisfy your woman."
I groaned, pushing Emmett off of me. Jasper grinned at me, and the rest of my family snickered from their spots throughout the house. I had a century's worth of others' sexual thoughts, memories, and fantasies inside my head; there wasn't anything they could tell me I didn't already know. I glanced briefly at the large, brand new bed sitting in my room and swallowed back the venom arising from thinking about Bella splayed across it.
"I'm perfectly set, Emmett. I appreciate your concern."
He laughed. I turned to Jasper.
"Where are you guys going this weekend?"
I knew the whole family was taking off, leaving the house to Bella and me over the next two days.
"We're going to go hunt up in Canada for a couple days," he said.
Are you sure you are alright, Edward? You think you have everything under control?
I nodded to him. He was worried about the logistics of a vampire mating with a human. I couldn't deny I had to have control at all times. But since I had been exploring boundaries with Bella, it had seemed like my body just knew exactly what she could handle and what she couldn't.
"Would you rather us be close by, just in case?" Jasper asked.
"No, it'll be fine. I would prefer privacy. If you don't mind."
The family was happy to grant my request. I didn't want my Bella to feel self-conscious, knowing any sounds we made would be heard by the family if they were in the house. At least at her house, Charlie slept very soundly. I hadn't picked up any thoughts from him that he suspected I spent the nights in Bella's bed.
Edward, I hope you know I'm only kidding with you right now. I promise I won't say anything to Bella today to embarrass her. I'm really happy for the both of you, and I'm glad she's your mate.
I looked over at Emmett and smiled. He acted like a buffoon at times, but he cared more about his family than anyone. He kept his promise and didn't tease Bella even once at lunch that day. In fact, the whole family made a point to keep conversations far away from Bella and me spending the weekend together.
Rosalie and Alice insisted on driving her home from school, and I was instructed to come back and pick her up at six for our date. I went home to change and make sure everything was ready for Bella to be comfortable at the house. Esme had stocked the kitchen and even prepared some dishes I could easily heat up. Alice had bought another electric blanket to put on my new bed; I really needed to get her a gift or something. I took a shower and changed into the clothes Alice had laid out for me, before Carlisle's thoughts called to me.
Edward, can we talk for a minute before you leave?
Perhaps I shouldn't have enjoyed the amusement of Charlie lecturing Bella about sex as much as I did, since it appeared I'd be getting a talk of my own. Carlisle skillfully hid his thoughts from me as I made my way to his office. I walked in and sat down in one of the chairs facing his desk. By his sheepish expression, I guessed it was as awkward for him as it was for me.
Sorry about this Edward, I simply wouldn't feel right if I didn't talk with you a little bit about your situation.
At least he wasn't going to broadcast the discussion throughout the house by talking aloud. I nodded to him, letting him know I heard him and for him to continue.
Well, I know you and Bella are getting closer, and she started taking her pills a week ago. I don't want to assume you'll be…ah…sexually active. But if you are, I wanted to make sure you understood a couple things.
I wanted to scoff at him, but I couldn't. It was Carlisle, and he only wanted the best for both me and Bella. I motioned with my hand for him to continue.
I know you have two medical degrees, so nothing I say will be surprising. But even with the knowledge in your head, it is not the same when it's live and personal.
I raised my eyebrow at him in question.
What was he getting at? Did he think I didn't know what went where?
I wasn't sure if it was possible for me to be more uncomfortable in Carlisle's presence than I was at that moment.
"Carlisle, what are you trying to say?" I asked him, wanting this conversation over with.
Is Bella a virgin?
My eyes went wide at his question. Of course she was. I would kill any boy or man who had touched her before.
"Yes."
My voice came out harsher than I wanted, but I was offended on Bella's behalf. He just gave me an understanding smile and nodded his head.
Edward, don't get upset. I wasn't questioning her virtue. I just wanted to remind you, it's likely her first time may not be the most pleasant experience for her. This would be true even if you were human. There will probably be blood. Can you handle that?
He actually made a valid point. I had been so worried about limiting my physical strength with her, I didn't dwell on the fact she may bleed. Her blood had not tempted me when she cut herself with the knife, so I was comfortable with that aspect.
Was I comfortable with the fact I would be causing her pain?
I thought back to Alice's vision of our honeymoon and the images of the time Bella and I spent together. It must not have been too terrible for Bella if she was so happy the next morning. I had been the one to ruin it by harboring guilt over her bruises.
The time Bella and I had spent exploring to that point made me believe I had enough experience with the feelings she summoned in me, that I could prevent myself from grasping her too hard or pressing her too roughly. I only had to come to terms with the fact it would be at least a little painful, simply from the penetration itself, and there wasn't anything I could do about it.
"Yes, I can handle it," I told Carlisle. He nodded again.
Give her a couple pain relievers and a warm bath; it will help.
"OK."
I hoped he didn't have much more to say, because I needed to leave and pick her up.
We'll be in Canada; Alice should see if there is any trouble, and we'll have our phones. We won't be back until Sunday evening.
He stood up and walked over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
I love both of you. I couldn't be happier that you have found each other.
He opened the door, wanting to leave and give me my space.
"Thank you, Carlisle," I said before he walked out.
He paused in the doorway.
"You're welcome, Edward. Have fun," he said, chuckling as he streaked off to find Esme.
I grabbed my coat, the flowers Esme had picked up at my request and walked out the door. They all wished me good luck in their thoughts. I was probably the only seventeen-year-old in history who had their family acting as a personal cheerleading squad, rooting for the loss of virginity.
I drove quickly towards Bella's house, finding Rose and Alice pulling out of her driveway just as I pulled in. They waved at me, and I shook my heads at their thoughts.
She looks beautiful, Edward. Oh, and she totally wants you.
I gave her some good tips. Enjoy! Maybe you won't be so moody once you finally get laid.
Rosalie's thought made me close my eyes. My mind immediately pictured Bella beneath me; she was writhing in ecstasy, screaming my name as I thrusted inside her. A moan escaped my lips, and I was glad the jeans I wore contained me. I opened my eyes and took a couple unnecessary breaths, trying to calm myself and think about our date.
I berated the monster in me. I should have wanted to romance Bella, not just have sex with her. I couldn't believe I was behaving like a horny, teenage boy.
Then I laughed at myself.
I am a horny, teenage boy.
It was perhaps the most human I had felt in a hundred years.
I bounded up to the door, excited to see my angel. She opened the door, and the sight of her in a dark blue dress made me forget to give her the flowers I was holding in my hand. I probably looked like a fool with my mouth wide open, gawking at her legs showcased in the skirt, which reached just above her knee.
It was the first time I had seen her in a dress. It shouldn't have affected me to the degree it did, since I was well-acquainted with her naked body, but there was something about seeing her in a skirt that aroused me.
"Eyes up here, Mr. Cullen," she said and I lifted my eyes up from her legs.
The guilty smirk that appeared on my face made her eyebrow raise in question. She had no idea how tantalizing she was. I handed her the flowers, her smile brightening as she sniffed them.
"Thank you," she said softly.
"You're welcome, my beautiful Bella. Are you ready for our date?" I asked, holding my arm out for her to take.
"Yes. I'm going to bring the flowers with us. Charlie would wonder why they were here otherwise."
I nodded before we started down the stairs. I led her to the car and opened her door. My eyes may have lingered on her supple thigh, which was casually exposed when she sat down.
I tried not to growl.
As we drove to Port Angeles, she asked me where we were going, and I let her know we were doing the traditional first date activities of a movie and dinner. I was happy to see she liked the idea. A little bit of normal in our extraordinary world was never a bad thing.
When we pulled up in front of La Bella Italia restaurant, she grinned in recognition. That particular restaurant was where we had begun to reveal our truths to each other in Alice's vision. I enjoyed sitting close to Bella in a private booth in the back, watching her eat her mushroom ravioli and drink her coke. Her eyes glowed in the candlelight, and I wondered how she became more beautiful every day.
Our conversation flowed, both of us consciously steering away from topics involving wolves or vampires and simply concentrating on the two of us. I so wished I could see inside her mind as I could with everyone else. She endlessly fascinated me.
I asked her every question I could think of about her mother and step-father, her father, and of her life before coming to Forks. She wanted every detail I could remember from my human life.
Time flew by as we heeded nothing outside our private bubble. Before I knew it the restaurant had cleared, and we were the only people left. I looked at my watch, realizing we had missed the last movie time.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it had gotten so late. I promise I'll bring you back for as many movies as you want to see."
I had already screwed up the very first date we had. She chuckled a little.
"I would much rather be talking with you than watching a movie anyway. Besides, we have all weekend together. I'm sure we can watch a movie or two at your house," she said with a wink and a smile.
Perhaps I hadn't messed anything up at all.
Now I get to take her home with me.
I left a very large tip for the server, since we'd taken up his table the whole night and he'd stood around waiting for us to leave. His frustration quickly turned to joy when he picked up the cash. Some humans were very easy to please.
I couldn't wait to please my Bella.
I ushered her back to the car, and we sped off back to Forks. As we pulled up the driveway, I noticed the family had left all the lights on. Normally they wouldn't have done such a thing, we could see as well in the dark as in the light. But, it was another example of their consideration for Bella.
As we entered the front door, I suddenly felt nervous, not knowing exactly what to do.
Should I offer her some dessert? Would she want to talk more? Watch a movie now? Play a game? Should I play her lullaby for her?
My hand ran through my hair, trying to ease my anxiety. Luckily, I didn't have to ponder too long over our next activity. As soon as I had hung our coats up, Bella pressed herself against me and hugged me from behind.
I turned to face her, leaning down to meet her lips which were begging for a kiss. Her tongue brushed my lips teasingly, testing my sanity. I groaned and backed her up until she was flush against the wall. My hands explored, moving from her waist to her hips.
She moaned into my mouth and I wanted her closer. I lifted her up to bring her face level with mine, enjoying the way her skirt hiked up when she wrapped her legs around me. Her hands gripped my hair, and she pulled back from our kisses.
"Edward, take me upstairs," she said, her breathless plea in my ear sending shockwaves through my body.
She wanted me...she wanted to make love to me.
I didn't hesitate, holding her tightly to my body and darting to my third floor bedroom in two seconds. If she was dazed by the quick movement, she didn't show it. Instead, she eagerly unbuttoned my shirt as her lips attacked my neck. With her legs still wrapped around my waist, I placed her down on the bed. I hovered over her, smiling from her resistance to unclasp her legs. She didn't want any distance between us. I leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"Love, I'm going to undress you now, so you need to release your grip."
Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen from our kissing...she had never looked more perfect. She licked her plump lips in anticipation as her legs fell to the side. Keeping my eyes locked on hers, I slowly unbuttoned and untied her dress, slipping it from her and placing it on the chair. I admired her beautiful body as it was exposed to me, wanting to touch every inch.
I started by gently rubbing her ankles and leisurely working my way up to her knees. Sighs of pleasure came from her when my tongue joined my hands, softly kissing and licking the insides of her thighs. I instinctively growled when my mouth and fingers finally reached her center, her aroma thick and overwhelming.
I wanted to plunge my tongue deep inside her, but remained patient so I could attend to the upper half of her body first. I settled for nuzzling her hot flesh through her panties with my nose, promising myself I would return there soon.
"Edward," she called my name in a soft, needful moan.
My head lifted from peppering her stomach with kisses to look into her eyes. I smiled slyly at my angel, who was looking at me with such desire swimming in her brown depths and her hair messed up from her twisting on the bed. My hands glided up and down her slim arms, pausing to lift her slight wrist.
I deeply inhaled the scent of her blood at her wrist, my nose just brushing her skin; I continued to be thankful for Bella's gift, which allowed me to enjoy her without the singer's pull to my bloodlust. The only lust whirling through my mind at that moment was for my mate, my Bella.
I pulled her up, reaching around her to unclasp her bra. I almost lost my concentration when she started kissing my neck. I turned my head to catch her mouth with mine as I slipped her bra off. Her hands grabbed for the button on my pants.
"I want these off you, Edward," she demanded.
Internally I cheered from her telling me what she wanted, hoping that behavior would continue. I obliged my angel and undressed myself.
Knowing it might be easier for her to take me if she had already climaxed, I gently pushed her back to the bed and leaned over her. I slipped her panties off, while kissing and licking the sensitive spots on her neck. My hand slowly moved from her breast, over her stomach, finally sliding over her folds which were wet with arousal. I took my time, kissing her neck and whispering in her ear as my fingers pleased her as I had learned she liked.
"Edward, I want you," she panted in my ear. She felt the need to be connected as much as I did.
"I know, my angel. I want you more than anything. I promise you'll have all of me tonight. I want you to come first. Will you come for me?"
Her eyes popped open before she bit her lower lip.
"Is something wrong? Does this not feel good?" I asked.
"No, no. It's wonderful. I just loved it when you talked to me like that," she said softly, her eyes closing again as she moaned.
She did?
I played my words back in my head. I simply asked her to come for me. I supposed that wasn't the language she was used to hearing from me, but I could grant her wishes if it aroused her. I pressed in close again, licking a trail along the slope of her neck before giving her the words she wanted to hear.
"Come for me, Bella," I whispered in her ear.
Her body started giving in to my touches, it was becoming more familiar to me...the way her breathing came quick and shallow, her trembling, the way she clenched around my fingers, the involuntary sounds that would emerge...all leading up to the look on her face when she had an orgasm.
I could lift trees out of the ground, crush boulders with my hands, and throw cars across a lot, but nothing made me feel as powerful as when I brought Bella satisfaction. My eyes fixed on her as the waves of pleasure rolled through her body.
I moved over her, settling myself between her legs. I wanted her to be as relaxed as possible when I began. The need to be inside her was immense, even with the fears swirling in my mind.
Please don't let me hurt her.
Please don't let her get pregnant yet.
Please let this not be too painful.
Please let her feel some pleasure.
I tried to force all my anxiety away, brushing her hair back from her face and looking down into her eyes. She was so beautiful, glowing from her high. I felt like I could burst from how much I loved her. My hand stroked her flushed cheek, needing to confirm one last time this was what she wanted.
"I love you, Bella."
I kissed her lightly.
"I need to hear you say this is what you want, before we do this. Are you sure?"
"Yes, Edward. I love you so much. I need you. Please, I want you now," she pleaded, bringing her hands around my neck.
I kissed her again before positioning myself at her entrance. I watched her face as my tip entered her warmth. I sighed at the feeling, never having experienced anything like it before. Before I went further, my eyes went back to hers.
"Bella, I'm sorry this will hurt. I'll try to go slow and stop when you need me to."
Why did it have to hurt her?
Her hands moved to rest on my cheeks.
"I know it will hurt a little, Edward. It would no matter what. It's okay. I promise. I want this. I want you."
Her sweet words were what I needed to hear. I pushed further into her, murmuring in her ear to hold onto me when I reached her barrier. I broke through, wincing when I heard her gasp of pain, and kept going until I was fully inside her.
She felt so perfect, amazing, wonderful.
I stilled myself, looking at my angel to ensure she desired to go on. I kissed her face as her body adjusted itself to my penetration. She didn't appear to be in pain, but I knew she would and could hide things like that from me. Finally she smiled, and I felt comfortable that she was fine.
"I'm okay, really," she told me.
I moaned as she brought her knees up, making me sink deeper into her. Using my elbows, I kept my torso held above her. I pulled almost all of the way out of her before pushing back in again. My eyes closed as I reveled in the sensation of feeling her hot and wet and soft, completely surrounding me.
I repeated the motion many times, groaning as I slid inside her. She gripped me so tightly and my unneeded breaths came quick from the sensations. While succumbing to my own pleasure, I also listened to every sound she made. I only heard sighs and moans as I moved in and out.
The tingling and pulling in my groin grew stronger, and I knew I was close to climaxing. My mouth found hers as I thrusted slightly harder and faster. Her keening cries alarmed me momentarily, and I slowed down my motion.
"Don't stop, Edward. That felt great," she said breathily, her eyes closed and her lips parted, yet curved in a small smile.
Encouraged that she enjoyed it as much as I did, I plunged even harder. It wasn't long before she cried out my name as her walls clamped down around me. My hands gripped beneath her, my fingers digging into the mattress as my thrusts continued. I moaned when I came soon after, the release making my eyes roll back in my head. I knew what heaven was then, feeling myself spilling inside her.
Even through the greatest experience of my life, I had remembered not to grip her tightly and not to bite, even though my instincts placed my mouth over her jugular. My Bella was safe and we were able to show our affection for each other in every possible way.
Eventually, my mind cleared enough to roll us over, holding her on top of me. The contented sighs she released assured me of her well-being. Her sweaty, warm body almost felt different in my arms as I enjoyed the aroma of our mixed scents.
We had been one.
We were forever connected.
I smiled for the 987th time since meeting Bella, kissing her forehead.
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you, Edward."
AN: What did you think of the talk with Jacob? How about Carlisle sitting Edward down before he does the deed? Did Edward give Bella a great first time?
I discussed doing some outtakes of this story in my last update and there seemed to be a little interest in an outtake of Charlie's sex talk with Bella. Anybody interested in an outtake of Rosalie and Alice taking Bella home from school and getting her ready for her date? I'm sure there were some interesting conversations taking place between the three of them.
I also want to rec some WIPs that I am currently enjoying. Some of these were impossible to stop reading once I started:
