Chapter 24 - Patience
Edward was euphoric. Bella had accepted his promise to her and was now wearing his mother's ring. It looked beyond beautiful on her perfect finger. Edward had placed the ring on her right ring finger because that's where his mother had always worn it.
When he asked his mom about it once, she told him it was because the left hand was reserved for the actual wedding and engagement rings. She explained that the ring and the gesture behind it meant so much to her that she never wanted to take it off; she knew if she were to put it on her left ring finger that she would have to when his father gave her an actual engagement ring.
Edward wanted to get Bella a beautiful ring designed just for her to place on her left hand when the time was right. He had no doubt in his mind that she would wear the engagement ring proudly when he did present one to her, but he knew she would have some reservations about doing so so early in their relationship. This wasn't the eighteenth century after all. Most people didn't meet and fall in love and get married all in a month. He knew things were moving very quickly with Bella, but he wouldn't be able to slow it down if he tried.
Bella had been admiring her ring for the last few minutes quietly giving him some time for his thoughts. She would move her hand this way and that to see how the sun sparkled off the rainbow topaz stones and while she did that, she had a gorgeous smile on her face.
He couldn't help but sneak glances at her every few seconds, so he noticed when she shifted her weight and kneeled before him. The love and tenderness that was so obvious in her eyes, was even more obvious as she leaned in to place a kiss on his lips.
He thought she would kiss him reverently but the way she kissed him surprised the hell out of him. She kissed him with so much passion and fervor that it seemed as if the world stood still. He had heard of all those moments where everything around you disappeared and it was just you and the person you were with, but he never really put much stock in those. He chalked them up to fairy tails and happily ever after's, which he didn't believe in. At least he didn't believe in them until he met Bella.
As she kissed him, he found himself being pushed back against the blanket. When he was lying down fully, Bella moved her lips from his mouth to his ear. "Baby, I want to try something. Will you let me?"
"Love, you can try anything you want to. I'm yours; heart, mind, and body. I love you, Bella." She smiled at him before reaching up to unbutton his shirt.
"Okay, here's the thing. You've made me feel amazing so many times in the last few days that I think it's my turn to return the favor. I want you to close your eyes and lay there. You're not allowed to peek, and you're not allowed to touch anything. Do you understand? I read once that sensory deprivation like this is supposed to make your climax so much more intense and I want to give that to you; you just have to trust me."
"Bella, I trust you with my life. I will do anything and everything you want me to do," he told her before closing his eyes and raising his hands above his head.
Seemingly satisfied, Bella scratched her way down his bare chest and abdomen before finally allowing her fingers to wander down to the button of his jeans. She made quick work of them and even the feeling of her fingers down there in that vicinity was enough to turn him on.
He felt himself spring to life as she tugged the jeans lightly to pull them down. He lifted his hips from the ground to make it a little easier for her. Once he felt them around his knees, he relaxed again and brought his hips back to the blanket.
"Edward, you have such a perfect, flawless body. I can't believe you're mine," Bella told him as she allowed her fingertips to trail all over his entire body. Everywhere she touched he felt goose bumps rise on the skin.
All she was doing was running her fingers up, down, and all around his naked skin, but the sensation was incredible. The electricity that shot through the tips of her fingers into his body left searing burns that lingered all over his skin despite the raised flesh.
For some reason, Bella was being careful to touch everywhere but his cock. She would run her fingers down the outside of his legs and then trail them up the insides, but before she would reach his member, she would move to the tops of his legs and up around to his stomach.
He was so hard with the anticipation of needing her touch it was almost painful, but in a very delicious way. Every pass of her fingertips made him grow that much harder until he was moaning with every pass.
His moaning got louder when he felt the heat of her body press against his. She leaned on top of him to kiss his lips and then kissed her way to his ear. "I love you so much, Handsome." She whispered in his ear and the sound alone was enough to make him want to grab hold of her right then and there and have his way with her, promise or not. Her voice sent a charge throughout his body from his ears down to the tips of his toes.
The next thing he knew, her touch pulled away from him completely and he felt the loss like someone had ripped a giant Band-Aid from his body. He started to open his eyes to see what she was doing or where she went but before he could, he heard her yelling at him.
"Edward! You promised! Keep them closed or I'll stop and we'll just go home." He could hear the whining in her voice. She really wanted to do this for him and he wouldn't deny her.
"Sorry Bella. I didn't feel you anymore and I didn't know where you went. I just wanted to make sure you didn't leave me here lying naked in the middle of a meadow." He started chuckling at the thought but was instantly silenced when he felt her straddle his lap. He could feel wetness against him and knew that she had removed her clothes; that's what she had been doing.
When he made this realization, his hips lifted of their own accord so that he could be closer to her. He yearned to feel her heat around him so much but still, he did as she asked and didn't move his hands.
He felt Bella's wet heat rub up and down his shaft, teasing him and making him burn with desire. He wanted her and needed to be inside her more than he had ever needed anything and he told her just that.
He could hear the smile in her voice when she said, "Patience, Edward. I'll always be yours and you can have me soon, but not yet. I'm not finished with you yet." He felt her move down to him then and kissed him again on his lips, his eyelids, his ears, and everywhere. She moved her way slowly down his jaw and neck until she reached his torso.
He could feel her hot breath across his chest as she trailed her tongue from one side of his body to the other. She slowly moved her way down to circle his hardened nipples with her tongue before sucking them into her mouth in turn. She slowly slid down his body to where she was positioned between his legs.
Next, he felt open-mouthed kisses trail all the way down his stomach past his waistline. His hips did another involuntary jerk as she kissed closer to his shaft. Finally, he moaned as he felt her lips press against his tip ever so slightly. Her tongue started swirling around the tip and then he felt her moving it up and down his shaft as her hands gently massaged his balls.
He was just about to start begging her again when she took his entire length into her mouth and started sucking on it. "Babe that feels so damn good! Oh, please don't stop!"
…..
Bella was relishing the view in front of her more than she could even explain. Edward was lying on his back with his eyes closed and his hands above his head. He wasn't allowed to peek at what she was doing and he wasn't allowed to touch her. She thought she'd have to whine a little to get him to agree to her plan but was pleasantly surprised when he acquiesced right away.
She had learned about doing a sort of sensory deprivation in a book she read once that belonged to her mother. It was one of Renee's romance novels and if she were to be completely honest with herself, it had embarrassed the hell out of her to read it. She was sixteen at the time and definitely still a virgin, so most of what she read was completely unfathomable to her. Still, she had never forgotten what she read; it was almost as if the mental images were ingrained in her brain.
When Edward had mentioned that they would be spending the morning in the meadow, alone, she had immediately began planning what she was going to do. All that was left now was the acting out which she was all too happy to do.
She had kissed him after she was done admiring her ring and in the process, she pushed him down on the blanket. When she was done kissing him, she explained the rules to him and proceeded to remove his clothes. He was a god laying her before her now; sheer perfection.
She felt herself saturating her panties as she trailed her fingertips up and down Edward's body. She watched as he responded to her touch involuntarily. Wherever she touched, goose bumps rose on his flesh. She was so careful to touch his entire body except for his erect penis even though she wanted nothing more than to grab him and guide him inside of her.
She wanted to feel his erection between her legs so, still fully clothed, she straddled his lap. She knew he could feel her excitement even through her clothes and it only encouraged her further.
She smiled to herself as she leaned in to whisper in his hear and felt him shudder underneath her. She knew he wanted to and would soon reach his limit, but she wasn't ready for that yet. She climbed off of him and quickly undressed. He started to open his eyes but she quickly yelled at him. "Edward! You promised! Keep them closed or I'll stop and we'll just go home." She knew she was whining, but she wasn't ready for her game to be done yet.
She saw his chest bounce with laughter as he said, "Sorry Bella. I didn't feel you anymore and I didn't know where you went. I just wanted to make sure you didn't leave me here lying naked in the middle of a meadow."
She wanted to silence his rambling so, completely naked now she straddled him again, intentionally rubbing her wet center over his hardened member. She felt his hips jolt toward her and her smile grew wider. When he told her he needed to feel her warmth around him more than he had ever needed anything, she was smug with satisfaction.
"Patience, Edward. I'll always be yours and you can have me soon, but not yet. I'm not finished with you yet." She couldn't kiss him fast enough. She kissed his lips and all over his face; she kissed his jaw and neck and torso. She kissed and sucked and licked his hardened nipples and then slowly, very slowly made her way down his stomach and waistline to his waiting cock.
She swirled her tongue around his tip before licking up and down his whole length while cupping and massaging his balls. She knew she was driving him insane, so she quickly pulled him fully into her mouth and sucked as hard as she could. As she moved his length in and out of her mouth she let her teeth graze the underside. He begged for her not to stop and she didn't.
She continued sucking and licking and grazing him with her teeth all while teasing his balls with her hands. When she felt him groan and his sack tighten, she knew he was close to release. She wasn't quite ready for that, so she immediately released him from her hands and mouth.
"Bella! What are you doing? Baby, that felt so damn good and I was so close. Why did you stop?" Edward was practically panicking. He had been so close to his release that she could only imagine what it felt like to be denied at the last minute but she didn't plan to deny him for long.
"Edward, it's okay. I didn't want you to come just yet. I'll give you your release, but not with my mouth. You can open your eyes now babe; I want you to watch this."
…..
When Bella told him he could open his eyes again, he let his lids spring open. Bella was on her knees between his legs completely naked. He watched as she slowly repositioned herself so her center was hovering above his dick, one leg on either side of his hips. He propped himself up on his elbows and watched as she reached between her legs and took hold of his shaft. When she had it positioned at her entrance, he watched and sucked in a breath as she slammed her body down, swallowing his entire length in one foul swoop.
"Oh my god, Bella, that is so hot!" He watched as she pulled off of him and then slammed herself back down again and again getting faster with each thrust. Soon, he was moving his hips in time with her, pushing himself even deeper into her core.
She had told him he could open his eyes, but she still hadn't said that he could touch her and he was dying to do just that. He had listened up to this point, but he couldn't do it anymore. He started begging her to let him touch her. "Baby, I've got to touch you. I need to feel you in my hands. Please? Can I touch you?"
"Yes, Edward! Yes! Touch me now!" She shouted as she continued to thrust onto him forcefully. That was all the invitation he needed. He reached up with his right hand and cupped her breast while pinching her nipple and rolling it between thumb and forefinger. She hissed at the sensation before she reached up with her own hand to do the same to her other breast and nipple.
With both breasts covered, Edward reached down between Bella's legs and quickly found her swollen clit. He ran his thumb over it roughly and felt her movements halt for a brief second before continuing erratically. She was close, but so was he.
Without even giving her an option, he flipped them both over so now Bella was the one lying on her back. He reached behind him and drew her legs up to his chest, effectively bending her knees and allowing him to heave even deeper into her. He continued to work her clit with his thumb as he pumped in and out of her wet folds.
They were only in this position for a few minutes before she started moaning, "Oh! My! God! Edward… I'm… So… Close….Ungh… Yes… Oh! Fuck! Me! Yesss!" He felt her walls clenching around him and that's all it took.
He leaned into her and kissed her intensely while thrusting deeply into her once, twice, three more times, before his hips stilled and he rode out his incredible orgasm. When he caught his breath, he rolled over, pulling out of Bella, and laid on his back beside her. His left hand sought out her right hand and he entwined their fingers as he brought their hands up to his chest. His right hand found the promise ring on her finger and he smiled.
"Bella, you are absolutely amazing and I love you so much. I'm thinking we should make it a two way promise though," he said as he twisted the ring underneath his finger.
"I love you too, Edward; so much. What did you have in mind?" she asked him with a smirk on her face.
"I think you should promise to do that to me every. single. day." He rolled to his side and punctuated each word with a kiss to her perfect lips. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to get enough of you. That was the absolute hottest thing I think you could have ever done for me, to me. You never cease to amaze me Bella. You are absolutely perfect." He kissed her again before collapsing back to his back and just lying there.
It was Bella's turn to roll to her side and as she did so, Edward looked at her beautiful face. She chuckled before answering his proposition, "Thank you, Edward. I'm so glad I was able to do this for you and that you trusted me enough to let me, I didn't know if it would work or not, but my goal was to give you one hell of an orgasm. I like to think that I succeeded." When Edward responded with a huge smile, she continued. "As far as me promising to do that every day, I don't think I can make that promise. There are too many factors that might impact it. How about I promise you at least once a week?"
"Deal," he said before pulling her on top of him and bringing her lips down to meet his. They had barely caught their breath when he was ready to go again.
