26.

It was a gentle and sweet kiss that made Bella's toes curl as a moan escaped her lips. She'd hoped to be kissed like that someday, giving up when she'd settled in with Sam. But this, this kiss right here with Edward, was everything she'd ever dreamed of.

Edward's lips moved over hers, kissing and suckling at her lips. Taking one at a time between his, nibbling and suckling lightly while her lips moved with his.

Soon, the kiss escalated and grew hotter as Bella's tongue swiped over Edward's bottom lip, begging for entrance which Edward quickly gave, parting his lips eagerly to meet her tongue with his.

He groaned, feeling himself get fully aroused as she writhed underneath him. She'd let her thighs fall open, cradling him between them as she tangled their legs together.

She could feel him hard against her thigh and squirmed, trying to get him near where she really wanted him as her tongue explored his mouth in a heated and needy kiss.

It didn't take genius to figure out where the night was headed but Edward didn't want to do that with her so quickly. He hadn't had a woman in his bed...ever and she needed to understand as much. Not that he was a virgin, but it had been years since he'd had sex and, well, it certainly hadn't happened in the bed he currently owned.

Bella was beyond turned on at this point. The sex-on-legs roommate of hers was sexy in that I-have-no-idea I'm good looking kind of a way and she'd caught herself staring at him on numerous occasions since she'd met him.

Edward broke the kiss and started nibbling on her jaw and neck, dropping kisses behind her ear while Bella pushed herself against him and held him close, twining her fingers in his hair.

"Oh,God...Edward," she moaned as he bit her earlobe lightly and swiped his tongue over the sting. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as Edward's mouth ignited a fire within her.

Edward groaned as she pressed herself harder against his erection. He was past the point of caring about decency. He'd not known her for very long, yet something about her felt so familiar, like she was already his. Her body responded to every touch, every caress, and every kiss like no other.

Even if there hadn't been too many others, Edward knew that an all consuming fire like this one wasn't the norm. He'd read enough Cosmo and had heard his friends talking on many occasions about girls, he may not have experienced much first hand, but he knew that not everyone could be this good together.

Bella was certainly something, he felt lucky he'd stumbled upon.


We're about to earn that M rating...

And to answer a question about Bella's lack of stuff... a photo album would have fit in nicely in her bag... and since she wasn't attached to material posessions, there wasn't any furniture to move around.
