Word Prompt: Snow

A single word meant to inspire immediate thought. Write what your imagination dictates.

"You must be frozen."

"Yes I am. Maybe we should get naked and you can warm me up."

I liked Bella peeling me out of my coat and gloves. She kept rubbing her hands, hot and quick, on my body.

"I don't know when Alice is getting back," she called from the hallway closet where she stored my jacket. She met me back on the couch, immediately tucking into my side. "Can you make it a quickie?"

She was waggling her eyebrows at me jokingly but she couldn't joke about sex with her. I was already at attention just from the suggestion. I turned into her and slouched down so I could reach her neck. I'd started kissing her, sucking her softly, but she was already moaning and diving those hot hands into my hair.

"A guy can always make it a quickie but I like longies with you," I mumbled between licks and nibbles.

"Which is why you should have let me come to you," she groaned and pushed me off. "You're the one without a roommate."

She had that told-you-so face on but I didn't care. "Bella, I was not having you come to me in this weather."

"This is my third winter in the city. I can manage myself just fine outside."

"I know you can but I still don't feel good about it." I hadn't unpacked my laptop yet and she'd been too quick to stop my foreplay for me to warm completely. I felt better being with her to head back to my place.

"I guess we can go back to my place together if you want."

"That's incredibly stupid but yes I want."

"You just want a longie," I smirked.

"And you don't?"

My still-hard cock was answer enough for her teasing glance downward. I stood up to adjust and pulled her with me.

"Get your overnight things together. I'll grab our coats."

She stopped short. "I think I need to come back tonight."

"Why," I asked a little too whiny. "If the weather's bad now it's not getting better tonight."

"I need to finish some sketches for my line next year. Alice wants them by the end of the week."

"So bring your sketch book." I was horny and frustrated and sounded like it.

"It's too much stuff to carry out there."

"Alright we'll come back here tonight," I rushed. I grabbed our coats and put mine on. I went back to Bella and held hers open but she just stared at me. My hands and my cock dropped in defeat.

"This is not good use of our time," she said slowly like I was 2 years old.

"I know," I pouted.

Bella took her coat and walked back to the closet, laughing. "It would be easier if we just lived together."

She said it so easily.

It crossed her lips effortlessly with her laugh and stunned me in the middle of removing my coat for the second time in under five minutes. Now the seconds seemed to stretch just like the silence. She shut the closet door with a loud click and walked back to me cautiously.

"That was a joke," she said too measured. "I wasn't being serious."

She was crazy if she thought we were going back to the Edward and Bella we were, pre-cohabitation comment. It was time for our next chapter and I couldn't be more ready. I had only been waiting for her.

"Why aren't u being serious?"

"Because."

I snorted and shook off the rest of my coat. She was going down with this weak argument.

"You would come live with me?"

"I was kidding Edward. You probably don't want a roommate."

"You're right," I said nonchalantly. Her face fell a little even though I was quick to explain. "I don't want a roommate but I do want my girlfriend to live with me. It's different."

"You're only saying that because I brought it up. Jokingly." She snatched my coat again and went back to the hall closet.

"Stop trying to back pedal something you're practically vibrating about," I yelled at her and went to the couch. I waited for her before continuing and was treated to a sexy scowl with her hands on her hips, trying to keep the excitement at bay.

"I didn't move across the country to play musical apartments. I moved for you. 100% for you. Of course I want us to live together."

I patted the couch for her to join me. She didn't curl against me like before so I turned sideways to meet her eye to eye.

"It's so soon though," she said, gnawing on a finger.

"Really? You think it's soon? And exactly how long have I been in love with you?"

"Don't act like that's a trump card. I've been in love with you just as long."

I liked it when she got competitive about our love.

"Well," I dragged out, not to be outdone. "Since I saw you first, technically, I've been in love longer."

"Now it's love at first sight?"

"Totally, baby. Wasn't it for you?"

"Yeah," she grinned silly and cute. I know our smiles matched.

"So it's settled. We live together," I declared. She scooted close to me so there wasn't an inch separating us. I wrapped an arm around her just to make sure. "Is Alice going to hate me?"

"No way. Jasper's been dying to get out of Jersey City."

We sat for a bit, her finger tracing patterns against my chest, mine trailing along her hip.

"We're going to need a bigger place. You'll need a studio." I couldn't help daydreaming about our new home together.

"An office. You can't write from a kitchen island forever. We'll make it a space for both of us."

I smiled and kissed her temple. "I like the sound of that. So many inclusive pronouns."

"Silly writer. You know you've always been my heart and now you're my life."

Her words raced through me and heated me to the core. Anything I could say would have been inadequate at expressing what she meant to me and what she would always mean to me. All I could do was kiss her again and mutter insufficient words nonetheless.

"Good. I want to be that forever."
