Bella woke up to Edward tracing icy circles on her back with his fingertips. The sensation sent shivers down her spine, and she snuggled closer to his body.

"Bella, sweetie? Are you awake?"

"Mmmhmm…" She was cradled in his arms, and she twisted her body slightly so her head could rest in the crook of his neck. They were both naked still, but Edward had slipped the blanket between them, protecting Bella from his cold temperature.

"And how do you feel, love? You're not hurt, are you?" His velvet voice conveyed clear concern, as he brushed her hair back, so that his lips could touch the hollow beneath her ear.

"No. Not at all. I am absolutely perfect, I am so…" but his fingertips were slowly tracing her collarbone, and her breath caught in her throat.

"Yes?" he breathed.

"I am so…happy…" her voice shook, but he could hear the contentment in her words.

"Good." He exhaled slowly, and she could feel the tremor of his cool breath on her neck. "Because I've been waiting all night for this…" He slid his hands from her shoulders over her chest, skimming the sides of her breasts and gliding over her ribcage to her stomach.

Edward splayed his fingers out across her skin and, grasping her hips, pulled her closer to his body. He moved the blanket down, so his skin could touch hers -- his chest pressed to her back, his hips to hers.

She gasped when she felt his erection against the small of her back.

He chuckled. "Do you know how difficult it is for me to lay here while you're sleeping naked beside me?" He moved his icy palm slowly across her abdomen, and she held her breath, waiting.

"You're so beautiful when you sleep, Bella. I've wanted you all night."

"Well," she answered breathily. "You should have woken me up." She moved her hips against him, pressing her ass to his dick. Edward moaned in response and rocked his hips into her again.

He curled his fingers around her hips, holding her against his body. Bella sighed deeply and arched her back, pushing her ass more firmly against his erection and increasing the friction between them.

"Shit Bella." He growled into her neck, before opening his mouth against her skin and trailing his tongue along her throat. "I almost woke you up a few times," he continued, sucking the lobe of her ear into his mouth. "But, I knew you we're dreaming of me."

Ugh. "What did I say?" she asked reluctantly. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to know.

"Nothing that didn't turn me on even more…" His voice was low and gritty and filled with want, and his words made her so incredibly wet.

He bucked his hips against her, pressing his hard on into her back, and she whimpered, pushing her little body more firmly to his.

"Well, I'm awake now…" she replied suggestively.

Edward moved his hands from her hips down over her pelvis, sliding his thumb up and down over the sensitive joint between her hip and thigh. He could feel her heart rate accelerate, and she struggled to keep her breathing calm.

He could feel the warmth of her pulse on his skin and taste her on his tongue. He moved one hand between her legs. She squirmed against him, pressing her crotch to his hand, and he could feel the heat just radiating from her body.

He slid his cold fingers between her folds, and Bella twisted her body, needing to feel him inside her. Her stomach knotted as he stopped directly over her entrance and then circled his finger around teasing her. She pressed herself tightly against his hand and moaned loudly.

"God Bella, you're so wet… I love feeling how much you want me."

"I've been wet all night Edward…" she breathed. "Please, more."

Her voice was soft, but laced with desire, and she wriggled against his hand, rubbing her ass against his very hard dick.

He grinded his erection into her, eliciting a sexy little strangled moan from her lips.

"What do you want Bella?" His voice was rough and so sexy.

"I want you to touch me, now Edward. And then I want you to have sex with me."

Her words made him impossibly harder between them, and she was so beautiful; he couldn't resist her. Edward plunged two fingers insider her tight, warm body. She gasped, and jerked her hips against him, arching her back, forcing him to push his fingers in deeper.

Edward pressed his thumb to her clit, stroking gently and causing her to moan again. Bella moved her hips against him, pushing her body up and down over his fingers. She was sopping wet and so damn warm. He could feel her wetness dripping down over his fingers and onto his hand. His dick jerked against her, and he pressed his lips to her temple, breathing her in.

"I need to be inside you Bella." He exhaled shakily and pushed his fingers into again, sliding them against the curve of her body. He ran his other hand up her side, across her ribcage to her chest. He cupped her breast, trailing his thumb over her pert nipple and squeezing gently. Bella squirmed and moaned. She wanted him too.

He slid his fingers out of her body, brushing her clit once more, before dragging his hand along her thigh to her knee. Bella's breath hitched, as Edward held her calf and pulled her leg up. He rolled her slightly, so he could position his dick between her legs.

"Bella," he breathed into her neck. "Close your legs now."

She pressed her legs together over his throbbing erection, and he gripped her hips firmly, thrusting between her thighs, his dick sliding between the folds of her slick, warm skin.

"Mmmmm…" he moaned, pulling back and rocking against her again, letting his dick slide just over her pulsing center.

"God Edward…" she writhed against him, squeezing her legs more tightly together and pressing her body down against him.

He swirled the tip of his dick around her opening, teasing her, and then rubbed it against her clit. He was driving her crazy.

But then he rolled over to grab a condom from his nightstand. He unwrapped it and rolled it over his length quickly, positioning himself back at her entrance.

Then, with breathless moan, he thrust into her.

She whimpered as he entered her completely. He moved slowly, sliding in and then all the way out before penetrating her again.

She loved the intimacy of lying side-by-side with him, her back to his chest and his arms wrapped around her, caressing her sides.

Bella rocked her hips back, moving with him, as he plunged into her again and again. His pace was unhurried, and he relished the feel of her tight little body pulsing around his dick. He could do this all day. Being so close, so connected, with her was an unimaginable pleasure, and he wanted to savor every moment.

He slid his nose along her jawbone, inhaling, and she trembled against him with pleasure. They didn't speak; there were no words to describe the emotion, the closeness, the sensations between them. But Edward pressed his lips to her throat, licking and sucking on her soft skin.

He slid his hands up her waist, over her stomach, along her ribcage, and to her chest. He plucked at her nipples, pinching them between his fingers, causing her to groan his name.

Bella's breathing had dissolved into breathless moans, and she writhed against him, fisting her hands into the blankets at her sides.

And she pushed her ass against his hips, rocking with the movement of his thrusts, forcing him into her faster, deeper. Fuck. He could not last long like this.

He gritted his teeth and tried to concentrate on prolonging the inevitable. But the pressure building inside his body was so intense. And he was completely surrounded by Bella. The feeling of her soft, little body pressed against him, and his dick insider her tight, warm, wet center… The taste of her skin and the mouthwatering scent of her pulse all around him… That rhythmic beat of her blood under her pale, translucent skin…

It was almost too much, and he held his breath, focusing instead of the feeling of her body clenching around his cock as he slid in and out, in and out.

"Faster Edward. Please."

And he couldn't help but comply, increasing his speed and pumping deeper, faster insider her. "Bella, I'm so…close. You feel so good." His voice was jagged and his breathing was shallow.

Edward! But then Alice's bell-like mental voice chimed into his thoughts. We know what you're doing in there and you'd better stop in three…two…

"Fuck Alice, not now…" he hissed so low under his breath, Bella could barely hear.

"What baby?" she groaned as he pushed into her again harder.

"Nothing love," he breathed and gripped her hips firmly. He pumped faster now, pulling her hips back to meet his thrusts. His exhaled shakily and he panted into her neck. So good.

Edward groaned loudly and the sound pushed her closer to the edge. Hot and cold rushed through her body from her forehead to her toes. "Fuck. Edward…"

God. He loved it when she spoke like that.

Alice was gone for now. The only sounds were their labored breathing, Bella's heart thudding in her chest, and the rhythmic slap of his pelvis against her skin.

Edward slid one hand down between her legs, pressing a finger firmly on her clit. She jerked her hips wildly against him and moaned too loudly again, but Edward loved the noises she made. His hips moved rougher still, as he pounded into her while his finger circled her clit with sure strokes.

"Cum for me Bella…" he breathed. "I want you to cum with me."

Pleasure rocked through his body with unreal intensity as he came, exploding into her with a gasping shudder. He could feel her little body convulsing against him, as her insides clenched around his dick, prolonging his orgasm, as she came too. She gasped for breath, shaking with pleasure against his body. He held her securely and pressed his cold lips to her temple, her cheek, her neck. Her skin was flushed and covered with a faint sheen of sweat. She was so beautiful, and she was his.

The only noise in the room was their uneven breathing. Edward held her close, trailing icy fingers across her flushed skin, listening to her heart pound in her chest. This was heaven.

And then his door burst open. Bella jerked in his arms, crying out, her eyes darting frantically to the doorway. Edward only groaned and rolled over, pulling out of her slowly. He kept one arm around her shoulders.

"Thanks for knocking." He glared at his sister as she moved lithely to the center of the room, where she folded herself sinuously onto the floor. What? Alice responded in her head. You were done, weren't you? She eyed them curiously, and Bella cringed, sliding further underneath the covers, wondering if she should disappear under them completely.

Jasper stood in the doorway, his expression a bit shocked. He stared at Edward's face questioningly, and Bella knew they were carrying on some silent conversation. Lovely. Couldn't it have waited until, oh I don't know, until they were dressed and downstairs in the kitchen maybe?

But Alice beamed brightly at Bella, clearly at ease with the entire situation. "Hi Bella," she chirped as if this were a completely appropriate time for discussion. "It's so good to see you again. Did you have fun last night?"

Bella's cheeks burned and blushed crimson. She was too mortified to respond. Edward pulled her closer to his body and stroked her cheek with his thumb soothingly. "Alice," he began, his voice unnaturally even. "Perhaps you could give us a few more minutes, and I will come downstairs to talk."

She rolled her eyes but bounced to her feet. Okay, okay…I just didn't want to make you get out of bed. I was trying to be considerate. Sheesh…

Carlisle and Esme will be back this afternoon, though, she continued. And we need to discuss a contingency plan in case their meeting with the Quileute Elders didn't go as expected.

"Yes. I know. You're right." Edward closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. He always did that when he was stressed about something, and Bella could feel him tense beside her.

She had no idea, of course, what he and Alice were talking about. It was incredibly difficult to follow the Cullen siblings' typically cryptic conversations. And, when she could only hear one side, well, understanding was impossible.

But Alice left the room then and, taking Jasper's hand in hers, shut the door behind her.

Bella wanted to ask what was going on, but, judging from Edward's expression, he wasn't in the mood to discuss it.

He held her for a few long moments, eyes shut, breathing deeply, thinking. Finally he rolled over and stood up. She watched as he ran a hand through his perfectly disheveled hair. Damn. If only she could look so good with sex hair. He pulled on his boxers and a pair of dirty khakis, before grabbing a black t-shirt from his dresser. The tight tee perfectly accentuated the muscles in his chest, back. Stop staring Bella.

God. She wanted him again already.

And he looked at her with such love and devotion in his eyes, that she was completely overwhelmed with emotion yet again. He smiled and walked to the edge of the bed to kiss her softly on the cheek.

"Why don't you take a shower, love, and get dressed while I talk to Jasper, Em, and Alice. And I'll make you some breakfast." She nodded and climbed out of bed.

Edward wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged her close to him. He pressed the length of his body against hers. He ran his hands up and down her back, skimming them over the curve of her hips before cupping his ass in his hands. She sighed and he kissed her again before leaving the room.

-------------------

When Bella came downstairs after her shower, she found Edward and his siblings gathered around the kitchen table, talking in low, hurried voices. There were stacks of paper between them, and Jasper was busy taking down notes. Bella could only make out clips of what they were saying, but she heard enough to know that they were discussing the werewolves and Edward's and her contested relationship.

Of course. Their problems would not simply disappear because they'd spent twelve blissful hours locked in Edward's bedroom. And now she knew why Esme and Carlisle were gone for the rest of the weekend. They were meeting with the Quileutes. On her behalf.

The thought literally made her sick to her stomach. And she felt guilty all over again for the stress she was causing their family.

Edward's expression, however, brightened immediately when she entered the room. He left the table and wrapped her into a strong hug.

He pressed his lips to hers, kissing her deeply, sucking on her bottom lip, forcing his lip between hers, plunging his tongue into her mouth. She gasped into his kiss and blushed crimson. His siblings were right there.

But Edward obviously didn't care. He tugged her close to his body and slid his hands down her back to grab her ass. Edward rocked his hips against hers and she groaned, feeling his dick jerk against her body. Shit. He made her so wet, and she wanted him so badly. Again.

But she could see Alice out of the corner of her eye, smiling brightly at her, and Bella tried to pull away. Edward loosened his grasp, but slid his hand around her ribcage to cup her breast in his hand first, squeezing, causing Bella to moan. So embarrassing. But she really couldn't do anything about it with Edward touching her like that…

He released her finally and smiled down at her wickedly. God. Of course he could hear her heart thudding in her chest, and he could tell how wet she was.

"I made you an omelet baby. Why don't you sit and eat. We've just finished here." He glanced at the kitchen table behind him. Jasper was collecting the papers and Emmett was speaking quickly to him, but his voice so low Bella couldn't make anything out. Then Jasper nodded at his brother and the three Cullens quickly left the room, leaving them alone.

Edward sat close to Bella as she ate her breakfast. He ran his fingers through her damp hair, brushing it off her neck, allowing him to press his lips to her throat. She trembled at the sensation of his mouth on her skin, licking, nibbling, sucking.

Her breath caught in her throat; his fingertips were now tracing her collarbone.

"Edward…" her voice shook.

"Yes?" he breathed into her neck, the tremor of his icy breath on her skin making her body tingle.

"It's rather difficult to eat with you…doing that to me."

"Oh?" he asked innocently, but she could hear the amusement in his voice. "And why is that?"

"Because…because you're driving me crazy."

"Well, I'll leave you alone for a minute, but then I'm taking you back upstairs to my room." His voice was gritty and low and made her stomach tightened with excitement.

He pressed his lips to her neck once more and grabbed her wrist, tugging her hand to his lap, and pressed her palm to the hard bulge in his pants. He chuckled at her sharp intake of breath, and Bella rubbed her hand against his crotch, wrapping her fingers around his erection as best she could through the material of his khakis.

He shuddered against her touch, and she swore under her breath.

"Shit, Edward… I want you so badly right now."

"I know," he breathed into her neck. "Now finished your eggs, before I decide to take you right here on the kitchen countertop."

Bella gasped at his words, but withdrew her hand and focused on eating her breakfast as quickly as she possibly could.

a/n: Thanks for all your feedback on my previous chapter. I love reading your comments and appreciate the encouragement.

Now for a shameless plug: read my other story and tell me what you think. You know you want to. I'm just getting into it, but am really having fun with it. It's very different, but my new Edward is, in my opinion, hot :D

So, back to this story. I'm really starting to like sex scene writing, so I promise more of that in the very near future, but I am open to ideas about the wolves. I think Bella might need to speak with them…explain her side of things b/c she hasn't had that opportunity. But would Edward ever let her do that? And would they even listen?

Review. It's like sleeping naked with Edward, minus the blanket buffer.

Love ya, Violet
