Chapter 24

Edward

I was in heaven.

I couldn't believe how fast things had gotten steamy between Bella and me. When she agreed to move our activities to the bedroom, I about did a victory dance with my hands above my head. Sweeping her up into my arms bridal-style, I walked us slowly toward her bed. My lips never left her skin, her soft moans of encouragement all I needed to continue.

Dressed now in only our underwear, I placed her gently in the middle of the bed, crawling in after her. She looked...spectacular. She was laid out before me, sporting a matching bra and panty set in a rich russet colour. The delicate lace edging and the subtly sexy cut made it obvious they were expensive and meant to seduce. I was in my usual Armani boxers this time and pitching a tent the size of the Eiffel Tower, which seemed appropriate seeing as we were in Paris. I longed to grind into her and let her know how much she affected me.

"Bella, love, you feel so good; I want you so bad right now, but I think we need to slow down, take stock."

She stiffened beside me at my words and pushed up onto her elbows to look at me.

"We're on the bed, both nearly naked, and you want to slow down and take stock? Edward, could you embarrass a girl any more by saying something like that at a time like this?" Sitting up properly now, she pulled her knees up to her chin and buried her head in her hands.

"Love, I don't want to stop, believe me." I pulled one of her hands gently from her face and moved it onto my erection, showing her my need. "I just think after our talk, we should take things slow. We both obviously want us to work and I think we also know that sex is only a part of this," I motioned between us.

Her hand did not leave my dick, she slowly but deliberately rubbed me up and down through my boxers. It feels so fucking good I could have come in a flash. I tried to control my breathing as well as the desperate need to thrust into her hand. She looked at me shyly while remaining huddled, protecting herself almost.

"I love you so fucking much, I hope you know that. Last night sleeping with you beside me has to be one of the best nights of my life. I want to do it every night," I told her sincerely, taking the opportunity to caress her cheek.

"I love you, too, Edward, desperately, and I know you're right about taking things slowly, but I just want you so badly I actually ache for your touch. Does that make me sound cheap?"

I laughed at her question. "Bella, you could never be cheap, you have more class in your little finger than most women ever dream of having. I think we both need and want each other the same, so how about we start by learning about what the other likes? It'll be fun and sexy, and I think it'll give us both a little bit of light relief, if you know what I mean," I winked at her now and moved a little closer.

"So, you're not averse to doing some things, just not actual intercourse?" she grinned back at me as I lay down at her side.

"I think we should just go with what feels right for now. No rules; just do what feels right. How does that sound?"

"Can I get you naked?"

"You can. Right now?" I started to move to take off my boxers, but she stopped me.

"Not now. Can I touch you?"

"Yes," I breathed out quietly, anticipating her hands all over my body.

She pushed me over until I was flat on my back. Slowly, she moved astride me, still dressed in the fuck-hot bra and panties. Her hot centre was situated right over my throbbing hard-on and it took all that I was to not lose control. Leaning forward, she kissed me gently at first before holding my face between her hands and deepening the kiss until my toes curled.

When she ground her hot wet centre onto my dick that was already throbbing for release, I could not resist pushing her down harder. I needed the friction and the heat of her was just fucking amazing. I groaned loudly and she laughed.

"Feels good doesn't it, Mr. Cullen." She gyrated her hips even more, accentuating her words.

"Good nowhere near covers it, Ms. Swan. Fuck, that feels amazing." I thrust up into her panty-covered centre a little more, earning a deep moan from her.

"Edward, I want to be naked with you like this. I know we won't be able to do this with me naked right now, though, because I know I won't be able to stop myself from sliding you inside me."

I grunted at her words, but I did as she asked and slid out of my boxers as quickly as I could. Bella leaned back and looked like she was admiring my form, her eyes darting up and down my body. They lingered on my very hard, very erect dick; the pre-cum pooled when I saw her lick her lips. Shit, I about blew my load right there and then.

Her eyes were smouldering, on fire almost with lust. God, I wanted to make love to this woman so bad it hurt, but I also wanted to do this right. Gone were the days of casual sex and meaningless hook-ups. This woman made me want things I'd never even considered an option for me.

She reached up to remove her bra, but I stopped her. "Let me, baby, I want to unwrap you like a Christmas present." I dropped a small kiss on each of her shoulders as now it was my turn to sit up and stare.

Slowly, ever so slowly, I kissed my way along her shoulder blades until I reached her bra straps. My tongue flicked out and licked her skin, making her moan. She liked it. The bra was off in no time and I took a few seconds to admire her breasts. Not overly big, certainly not fake, but pert and full, just perfect in my opinion. She blushed when she realised I was taking her in and looked down a little shyly.

"Hey," I lifted her chin so she was looking right at me, "You're perfect in every way, perfect for me. Please don't be embarrassed to be naked in front of me. You can already see what you do to me, love. You're quite magnificent." I dropped tiny kisses all over her naked torso as I made my way down her body so I could remove her panties.

She squirmed and small moans escaped her mouth as I continued to work her, my hands kneading and caressing as I got closer and closer to the Promised Land. Her responses to me drove me mad. I knew for sure she had little experience; fuck, I didn't even know if she was virgin. I really need to take care of her.

Her legs and bottom lifted so I could remove her panties. She had a tiny neat triangle of hair and I longed to bury myself neck deep in it. I was glad she wasn't bare. I liked my women to be womanly, not childlike. Now it was my turn to moan at the sight before me.

"Bella, you're exquisite." I quickly made my way back up to her face and kissed her like my life depended on it. "I love you, please never doubt that. Tell me what you like and it's yours. I want to give you the pleasure you give me just from looking at you. Please, baby, tell me what you want me to do."

"You make me feel things I've never felt before, Edward. I have practically zero experience in this."

"Are you telling me you've never slept with anyone before, love?" I asked her quietly.

"Not slept, no, other than you last night. I mean I'm not a virgin, but the grand total of my experience is a quick fumble in the back of a car, and I never had an orgasm during sex, either. I usually take care of those myself," she blushed and looked down again.

Lifting her chin up once again, I asked her., "So, do you have toys or do you use your fingers?" I ran my fingers up and down her naked arms, excited to hear her answer.

"Do we have to have this discussion right now?" she sounded mortified.

"Not if you don't want to, but I'd really like to know and I'd like you to tell me what you like so that I can help you enjoy it. I find it kind of hot that you're responsible for your own orgasms. But know this; from now on, I intend to be the one that takes over that role, understand?" I growled and kissed her passionately.

"Touch me, Edward, just touch me anywhere and everywhere, please," she begged.

Those words were like all the words I had ever wanted to hear, all rolled into one sentence. Her responses to my touch hit home hard. I really did love this girl and she loved me back. Her quiet moans of pleasure and her gentle thrusts drove me insane. My hard-on was pulsing for some action and just when I thought I would burst, she touched me and burst I did; like a thirteen-year-old schoolboy, all over her hand and both our stomachs.

"Shit, Bella, I'm so sorry." I buried my face in her hair, embarrassed as hell.

"Edward Cullen, do not dare be embarrassed. You've just talked me through what could've been the most embarrassing conversation ever; you were sweet and adorable and I love you for it. So please, don't go all shy on me when you come unexpectedly because I touched you. Like you said before, it's kind of hot."

She killed me even more then by swirling her finger in the cum that was all over my stomach. It looked and felt like she was exploring it. I let her do it, fascinated by her fascination with my jizz. My hands took on an exploration of their own and soon she was writhing and moaning by my side as I kneaded and kissed her breasts.

"You have fantastic tits," I told her honestly.

Making sure I paid the same attention to both breasts, I kissed one as I kneaded the other. Her nipples pebbled at my touch and I loved how she reacted to me. I slowly made my way south, watching her to see her reactions. She was flushed because she was turned on, but her eyes carried a little worry in them when she realised where my hands were headed.

"Just relax, baby, I want to give you something, something you've given me over and over. Let me please you."

She nodded, but did not relax fully. She was worried about what was going to happen and letting go. I wanted her to let go, I wanted to hear her scream my name when she came. I wanted to see her come undone. My fingers found her wet and eager for me. I caught my breath when she bucked into my hand.

"Fuck, Bella," was all I could say as I slipped my index finger between her wet folds and inside her.

Her resulting moans and thrusting drove me on. My thumb found her clit and I tentatively rubbed it. Her hand grabbed my hand hard and she pushed me into her, encouraging me to go harder, faster, and deeper. She was going to be a goddess, a tiger in bed once she was a little more confident, and fuck, she was all mine. I was hard again and leaking against her. I was already conscious that my previous load was now drying and leaving a sticky mess all over both of us and the bed. She didn't seem to care about being up close and personal to my jizz. Good thing to note for the future.

"Does that feel good, baby? Do you want me to keep going until you come?"

Her answer was to kiss the shit out of me, her tongue dominant in my mouth. It felt fucking incredible and I continued to finger fuck her hard and deep. Her body rode my fingers and her resulting moans drove me to distraction. How I wished it was my cock. I shuddered at the thought of how hot, wet, and tight she would feel around my cock when we got to that stage.

I could tell she was close as her breaths were now coming in short spurts and she was suddenly even wetter than she had been before. Her muscles tightened around my fingers and she cried out my name in a sort of moan-like sigh. I could not stop myself from grinding my throbbing hard-on into her thigh. I was close, too, and she hadn't even touched me.

"Bella, love, I need you to..."

No more words were needed as I felt her clench even tighter around my fingers and she screamed out my name in ecstasy. She bucked and writhed against my fingers until she was done. It was all I needed to empty my seed against her leg.

"Sorry, love, I couldn't hold off. Here, I'll get something to clean you up." I moved away slightly, not wanting her to be even more covered in my jizz.

"Edward, it's fine, really. I like it. It makes me feel close to you. We'll have a shower in a little while if you like." She snuggled closer to me and sighed.

"Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I?" I asked, a little worried by that sigh.

"No, silly, I can't think of anything more perfect...well, I probably could, but maybe we need to work our way up to that," she giggled and I felt a massive rush of relief as I pulled her closer.

"I love you, Isabella Swan. I feel like I've known you all my life. I want to be with you, mind, body, and soul."

"Good, because that's exactly what I want, too. I love you more than I ever thought possible, Edward, and what I've just felt, well, there really are no words to describe just how perfect that was. I'm so glad I waited for you to be the one to share that with."

We snuggled closer, wrapped in each other's arms. I felt like I had found my home at last.

See, they're being sensible, taking things slowly. Bella was never going to just have full-on sex with him. She wants a real relationship and needs Edward to prove to her that that's what he wants, too. Progress, though, and hot... Hope you liked it.

Updates may be a little more erratic during December, sorry. RL yeah know.

Until next time…
