Okay, I know it's been way way too long since I last updated and I'm really sorry. But, here it is:
There was no opportunity to bring up this fact because, at that moment, Edward took my hand and pulled me out into the rain.
I tripped off the curb and laughed as Edward grabbed me around the waist and began spinning in the middle of the street. I let my head fall back and watched the raindrops fall, soaking my hair and clothes, and leaving sparkling patches on my bare skin.
I brought my gaze back to Edward, finding an uninhibited look of fiery intensity in his eyes, shining like the droplets that clung to his face and neck. He wrapped one of his hands roughly into my hair, pulling me against him. Our lips met softly at first, and Edward ran his tongue along my bottom lip, tasting the salt crystals that lingered there.
A clap of thunder ricocheted across the cobblestones, and I broke away from our kiss, looking up in time to see a second flash of light cross the sky. Edward pulled me down a narrow alleyway beside the bar and cornered me against the stone wall, placing one hand on either side of my head.
His eyes raked my figure, and I looked down, blushing, to see the deep blue of my bra visible beneath my shirt. He reached his finger beneath my chin, just as I grabbed a fistful of his soaking shirt and pulled him to me. His hands snuck under the back of my shirt as he kissed me, a fierce kiss of fervent longing.
I clung to Edwards dripping hair, taking short, shaky breaths through our kiss. Edward let out a low moan, almost a growl, and I shoved my body against his, craving an impossible closeness.
An unbidden moan escaped my own lips; Edward drew my bottom lip in between his and bit down, roughly.
He pulled away the slightest bit, sighing, his cool breath washing over me. "Bella. Just breathe, Bella. Just breathe," he whispered, his lips still touching mine. I listened as my breath came in ragged gasps.
I locked eyes with Edward for the slightest instant before our lips came crashing back together, before Edward had me pressed against the wall, before the rain fell harder, falling around us.
One of Edwards's strong hands found my upper thigh, gripping tightly, toying with the hem of my shorts. His other hand wound tightly in my hair, and I let him take control, let him pull my head to the side to plant kisses down my neck, down to the flushed skin on my chest.
A door banged open somewhere to my right, and two busboys burst out laughing loudly. My eyes snapped open, and I caught a fleeting glimpse of their smirks before Edward had pulled me out of the alley and back into the street. I could barely keep up as he made his way back to the motorcycles.
"Edward. Edward, what…?" I asked quietly. He said nothing but spun me around and pushed me down onto the motorcycle, leaning over me and shielding me from the rain. His eyebrows were pulled together in a frown, and he glanced over his shoulder at the busboys making their way down the street, taking quick and frequent glances behind them.
I reached up and twisted my fingers into the hair at the back of his neck, willing him to look at me. "I'm sorry, Bella." His voice was stiff, full of annoyance at the boys, his brow knotted with anger.
"It's fine, Edward, really," I said quietly, try to console him.
"You don't know what they were thinking."
I traced my fingers across his damp forehead, across the wrinkles between his eyebrows. "Frown, frown, frown," I teased, catching my bottom lip between my teeth. He growled, and kissed me, hard, wrapping both hands into my hair.
He pulled away after several long, intense moments. "Frown, fr–" I started again, before Edward's lips crashed into mine again.
"I can't get enough of you," he whispered, planting a kiss on my forehead. I blushed scarlet and looked down, smiling. "Let's go." Edward pulled me up from the motorcycle, and swung one leg over himself, looking at me expectantly to do the same.
I placed a lingering kiss on his cheek before grabbing his shoulders and getting on the motorcycle. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face into his t-shirt. I realized how wet my clothes truly were, and how a cool breeze was picking up, and I started to shiver. Edward turned his head and planted a kiss on my shoulder before kicking the engine to life.
Hope you liked it. Leave a review if you'd like! Any and all suggestions are welcome. :)
