28. Moving in all sorts of directions
Smart thinking, Eddie. You were successful in asking Renee if you could spend the day with Bella. Wouldn't it be nice to have a general idea of how to spend that time?
My sarcastic inner voice had a point. I had just taken the opportunity when it was presented to me, not having any semblance of an idea for the date ready. But on the other hand, Bella was still relatively new in town, which provided me with ample date possibilities. I had also come across other bits of information last night that could prove useful. So while I was laying awake in the early hours of Black Friday, an idea was forming in my mind. After a quick shower, some googling and a few phonecalls over breakfast, I was able to text Bella.
Goodmorning gorgeous! Will be there around forward to spending the day w/ u
Renee opened the door smiling brightly and greeted me with a quick hug. I informed her of my plans for the day, asking if she was okay with them. Her approval was especially essential for the first part of what I had in mind. I also needed to get some papers from her.
Just as I was about to ask what was keeping Bella, my girl came bouncing down the stairs. She looked so adorable in her faded jeans – which, by the way, were very tight – cowboy boots, blue button-down and dark blue beanie. I was glad to see we were both dressed down – I was wearing Docs, darkwash jeans and a black turtleneck with my black leather jacket.
She all but jumped into my arms and I smiled at her enthusiasm. Ignoring Renee's presence, she kissed me while working her hands into my hair, pulling me closer. For a moment I lost myself in her kiss and tightened my grip on her waist. But as much as kissing her was taking over my mind, I was still aware of her mother standing just a few feet away. So after a while I pulled away and untangled her hands, taking one in my own.
'Edward, would you like something to drink?', Renee asked.
Bella started to protest, but I put a finger on her lips to silence her.
'Coffee would be great, Renee.'
As Renee turned back to the kitchen, Bella playfully bit my finger.
'What's with the sucking up? She already likes you. I wanna get going!'
'B, while I love your excitement, I think we should have some coffee with her now. I want her to keep liking me and I think she wants to talk to us. Besides, we've still got some time before...'
I quickly swallowed the rest of my sentence, not wanting to give anything away just yet.
'Before what?'
'Nothing. It's a surprise', I said as I began to steer her into the kitchen.
'I don't usually like surprises', Bella muttered.
'Why is that?'
'Uhm... I don't know... I don't like not knowing?'
I smiled a little to myself at that. She was questioning her own reasoning.
'Silly girl,' I teased, 'that's the whole point of a surprise! Have you had any bad surprises lately?'
I saw her thinking back for a moment before a cheeky smile made an appearance.
'No, not really, but they all involved you.'
'Then you know you'll like this surprise. Come on, just one cup of coffee, be nice to your mom, and we're on our way.'
Two steaming cups of coffee were already waiting for us when we entered the kitchen and Renee was seated at the breakfast bar.
'Look, Bella, Edward,' she made a point of looking at both of us before continuing, 'I'm not going to repeat myself. I think we've all made ourselves quite clear last night.'
I had an idea where this was going, but Bella didn't seem so sure, as she tensed beside me.
'Obviously, I'm not going to stop you two from... being together... dating. I'd rather know what you're up to than being lied to. That being said, Bella, I trust your judgment and I hope you know you can talk to me. Edward, don't make me regret this.'
'You won't, Renee.'
'Very well. Then I just want to remind you that I'll expect you to be where you tell me you'll be, Bells', she added somewhat cryptically, 'Have I made myself clear?'
'Sure...', Bella seemed a little confused.
I, however, knew what she was hinting at. Renee had told me the night before that she didn't want to lie to Charlie about Bella's whereabouts, which basically meant she expected Bella to be at Emmett's when she said she would be, or wherever for that matter, but she wouldn't have to provide detailed information on who else was there with her. Keeping Charlie in the dark by means of undisclosed details, as Bella had put it last night.
'Perfectly', I smiled brightly at Renee, earning another confused look from Bella.
Ten minutes later we were on our way. I had explained the whole 'keeping Charlie in the dark' reasoning to her, at which she had laughed and said it was a very Renee kind of thing to suggest.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw her stealing glances at me, but I waited for her to start. Obviously, there was something playing on her mind. After a couple more minutes of silence, I reached over and took her hand in mine, resting both our hands on the center console.
'So... I'm curious. What did you tell Renee last night that made her so agreeable?'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, she said some things that made me wonder.'
'Like?', I prompted.
'You told her you're in love with me?'
'That I did.'
'Oh.'
She was quiet again for a while.
I started to get a little anxious. What was she thinking?
Was it too soon for that kind of confession? Yes, I probably should have thought of that before I told Renee last night, but at the time I wanted her to know I was serious about Bella. I didn't want her to doubt my intentions. And I meant it.
But with every passing second my nerves increased and I started to wonder if maybe I should have waited with that particular revelation.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Bella spoke again.
'Edward?'
'Yeah?'
'I'm pretty crazy about you, too.'
I exhaled in a rush, not realizing up until that moment that I had been holding my breath in anticipation. I was still holding her hand and brought it up to press a kiss to it, a huge grin breaking out on my face.
Dude, she said she's crazy about you. That's not the same as 'in love'.
Maybe it isn't, maybe it is. She's seventeen and she hangs out with Alice. Who knows, in their world it might mean the same thing. Right now I was willing to take whatever I could get, as long as it meant being with Bella.
A few minutes later we arrived at our destination. Bella looked at me questioningly as I opened her door for her.
'What are we doing here?'
'I arranged for you to take the knowledge test so you can get your instruction permit,' I explained, watching her smile excitedly, making her eyes sparkle, 'Then after, if you want, I can give you your first lesson.'
'You're serious?'
I just smiled and nodded. Her smile widened even more in response.
'I think you're enjoying the surprise?', I asked, just in case.
'Definitely!'
At the desk I pulled out the paperwork I had procured from Renee: Bella's passport and a signed Parent Authorization form. I was very glad when Renee agreed to this, especially considering it was pretty last minute. But she thought it would be best if Bella started to learn how to drive sooner rather than later. Her school offered a driver training program, so she could take her necessary instruction and training there, but I really wanted to partake in this with her. Of course, Emmett had offered to teach her and I wouldn't deny him this as her brother, given that I had been in the same situation with Alice about a year ago. I really wanted to share this with Bella, though, so I had called him beforehand and he conceded, as long as he got to be there for at least thirty of the required fifty hours and the final driving test.
While Bella was taken to another room to complete her test I thought back to the night before and things I had considered for today.
Thanksgiving dinner had gone well, better than we had hoped. We hadn't really discussed how to clue Renee in on us; Bella had simply said she just wanted to be with me without having to jump through hoops. So when I arrived at Esme's I decided to come out in the open and claim Bella as mine. Renee was surprised, as was to be expected, and maybe also a little hurt that Bella had kept this from her. She relented quickly enough, responding to our explanations and apologies with acquiescence. Working my charm on her may have helped a little, too. I was glad I had been able to convince her I would do right by Bella. She was giving me a chance to prove my worth.
Now you'll have to make sure you don't screw it up.
As for the rest of the day...
The selfish part of me wanted to take Bella home and lock ourselves in my room for some serious quality time. I had missed being alone with her. Since Sunday, we had only been completely alone once or twice when she came over with Alice after school, stealing a few moments together. It wasn't enough. I wanted her all to myself.
But I knew I had to come up with at least a few options for spending the day. Surely Bella would like to explore the city, maybe go to a museum. I recalled seeing an ad about the iceskating rink opening for the winter season again. Would she like that? She was quite clumsy; maybe she didn't want to subject herself to potential embarrassment.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind making sure she didn't fall, holding her hand, maybe guiding her by placing my hands on her hips. Resting a hand on the small of her back, 'accidentally' sneaking it underneath her clothes, feeling her warm, soft skin under my fingertips. I'd manoeuvre us to the side of the rink, back her up against the boarding, leaning in close for a heated kiss.
It was crazy, the way our bodies reacted to one another, considering the short amount of time we had been together. It was as if we were pulled toward each other, like gravity, and my body responded to her touch almost instantly.
I was getting lost in my little fantasy and was pleasantly surprised when Bella materialized on my lap, giddy with excitement.
'Hey, baby!', she cheered and kissed me.
'You seem happy', I noted when she released my lips briefly.
'I got my permit!'
I couldn't help but laugh.
'And I only had two mistakes on the test!'
'That's great, B! What do you wanna do next?'
'Take you up on that lesson?'
I instructed her on the workings of my Volvo and before long Bella was pulling out of the parking lot and we were on our way.
Was I worried? Yes, a little, obviously, Traffic was busy because of Black Friday, and in hindsight it might have been better if I had driven us somewhere first, before letting Bella take the wheel. However, there wasn't anything I could do about that once we were on the road, so instead I gave her directions to quickly get us to a quieter neighborhood.
As we sat waiting at a traffic light I asked her what she wanted to do after her lesson.
'What? You didn't plan anything?'
'Not really, no. It was all rather last minute...', I started to apologize.
'Don't worry, I don't mind. I'm just glad to be legitimally spending time with you.'
She looked over at me and we exchanged goofy grins. We were pulled from our moment by a car honking impatiently behind us.
'Oh. Green light', I muttered sheepishly.
We continued on our way. After my initial instruction Bella hardly needed any guidance thus far. Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised given her aptitude at picking up new things and mastering them shortly. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as my horny mind conjured up images of just how good she was at that.
You're such a perv.
'No, seriously, what do you want to do today?', I finally asked her.
'I told you, I just wanna be with you. Hang out, whatever. I've missed being alone with you. Take a left here, right?'
She was navigating her way back to my place and I wasn't going to stop her. By the time she pulled into the driveway there wasn't a doubt that we would head up to my room for some alone time. As soon as Bella had put the car in Park I was opening my door and making my way over to her side.
'So, how did I do?', she asked as I opened her door for her.
I pulled her to her feet and crushed my lips to hers, capturing her body between mine and the car. She immediately responded to my kiss, pulling me closer.
'You did great, B', I mumbled against her lips.
As we started to make our way inside Alice came barreling out. She skidded to a halt in front of my car when she noticed the keys were in Bella's hand. Her mouth dropped agape and she stared at us for a couple of seconds before audibly snapping it shut. I had half expected her reaction upon realizing I was letting Bella drive my car. I had never let anyone else drive my car before, neither the Volvo nor the BMW. When I was teaching Alice we always took my father's Mercedes.
'You're driving?'
'Yeah, I just got my permit.'
'That's awesome! Hey, I was gonna go over to Jessica's, wanna come and hang out?'
No way I was letting go of Bella today, so I spoke up before she had a chance to answer.
'Go away, Alice. You get to see Bella almost all day at school. I'm not sharing her with you today.'
She pouted and started to object while Bella shot me a reprimanding look.
'Sorry, Al, but I'm on a date with Edward. We're still on for tomorrow, right?'
That seemed to brighten Alice's mood again.
'Definitely! I can't wait to get my hands on that room of yours!'
'Great, Rosalie said she was gonna pick you up and we'd all have breakfast at my place. Say hi to Jess for me', she quickly added because I was already practically dragging her to the house.
'Will do,' Alice giggled and waved, 'Have fun. See ya!'
Once inside, I made a beeline for my room, not wanting to run in to any other family members. Bella smacked me on the arm.
'Don't be so rude to your sister.'
She tried to sound stern and annoyed, but I could hear some underlying humor in her voice.
'I'm sorry, babe, but I just don't wanna share you today.'
Or at all.
'I want you all to myself.'
She pretended to contemplate my words for a moment, then shrugged.
'If you insist.'
'I absolutely do', I said as I picked her up to carry her the rest of the way to my room. She giggled, wrapped her legs around my waist and peppered me with kisses.
When we got inside I tossed her onto my bed, then hurried to lock the door and put my iPod in the docking station connected to my stereo. After selecting a playlist filled with slow songs by the likes of Usher, Lenny Kravitz and Sade, I turned around and made my way over to my bed, appreciating the sight before me. Bella had made herself comfortable against some of the pillows, eyeing me expectantly. Intending to spend the rest of the afternoon like that, I crawled up the bed and pulled her to me, kissing her slowly. Bella's hands immediately found purchase in my hair and she sighed into my mouth. I cradled her head in my left hand and moved my right to the small of her back, slipping it underneath her shirt. Opening the top buttons of her button down I pulled her collar to the side, placing kisses down the soft skin of her neck. I felt goosebumps break out across her skin, but if it was because of my kisses or from the contact of her warm skin with the cool satin of the sheets and comforter, I wasn't sure. I liked to think I had that effect on her.
Bella moaned and arched her back, increasing the contact between our bodies. I continued lavishing her neck and collarbone with kisses and soft nips while inching my hand down to caress her left breast throught the fabric of her shirt. I felt her nipple harden, which made me even more anxious to feel her skin. My other hand trailed down to cup her butt, squeezing it once, then further down her leg, hitching it over my hip. She responded by moving her hands down, too, around my back, pulling me closer. Just when I was about to further unbutton her shirt, she shoved her hands under my turtleneck, pushing it up. I helped her take it off and caught her ogling me. If I handn't been so incredibly turned on, I might have blushed from her heated stare. I didn't allow her to look at me for long, though, because I soon recaptured her lips with my own while swiftly ridding her of the button down she was still wearing, to reveal a dark blue tank underneath. This wouldn't do, so I made it my priority to remove the offending garment as well, leaving her in her jeans and bra.
Purple lace. Gorgeous.
Moving down her body, my fingers traced her soft curves, kissing my way down to the waistband of her jeans, where I popped the button. Easing down the zipper, I looked back up at her with a cocked eyebrow, silently asking for permission to continue. She bit her lip and nodded, already fisting the sheets beside her. I pealed her jeans off, then kissed and caressed her legs until I was level with the matching boyshorts she had on. I pulled at the waistband just a bit, revealing a little more of the skin below her hipbones, placing two kisses there. Again, I looked up at her, and again I asked her consent, before taking them off and discarding them at the foot of the bed.
Keeping my eyes locked with hers, I placed another kiss over her left hipbone, then trailed my lips down to her inner thigh. I wanted to make her feel worshipped, because I couldn't even begin to put into words what it meant to me that she let me do this for her.
My face being so close to her most intimate parts, I could see and smell her arousal. It was luring me in, but I was intent on making this moment last. She exhaled a shuddering breath when I skipped over that part of her body, only brushing along her, to lavish the same attention on the other thigh. I reversed the pattern I had started, kissing her right hipbone, then moving to the right, kissing the soft skin below her bellybutton.
Glancing up at her, I noticed she had closed her eyes.
'Bella,' I whispered, 'look at me.'
She opened her eyes, and when I was sure I had her full attention, I dipped my head and lightly licked, just one stroke. Bella's jaw had gone slack and she looked at me wide-eyed. Taking that as my cue, I licked again, earning a soft moan from Bella. This time, I focused a little more on her clit, massaging it with my tongue. She tasted unlike anything I'd ever tasted before; sweet, yet slightly salty, and completely... just... Bella. I continued savoring her languidly while cupping her ass, keeping her at a perfect angle.
Shifting my position a little, I slowly lowered her body back onto the matress, thus freeing my hands. I moved them to her inner thighs, one of them grazing the wet flesh just below my mouth. Bella gasped and one of her hands gripped my hair tightly, holding me in place. Slowly, I eased one, then two fingers inside her. I could feel her heartbeat around my fingers and throbbing against my tongue. Her breathing was getting heavier. I increased the pressure my mouth was exerting, while slowly pumping my fingers in and out. Resting my head against her left leg, I used my free hand to push her right leg up and out somewhat, further opening her to me.
She started mumbling incoherently between pants and I could feel her muscles start to tighten around my fingers, signaling that she was close to release. I only needed to tip her over the edge now.
Alternating licking and sucking on her most sensitive spot, I hummed, creating added vibrations, while curling my fingers inside of her, hitting that small, textured spot I located the first time I touched her. A fact I was still proud of. Bella responded to my efforts, bucking her hips against me and moaning my name. This only served to encourage me further. I could feel her tense up and increased the rhythm my tongue was exerting. Soon, Bella's legs started shaking and she let out a string of incoherent sounds, although I thought I picked up my name and fuck a few times.
I continued my ministrations at a gentler pace until her legs stopped shaking. Only then did I lift my head again, to see hers still thrown back, eyes shut tightly and breathing heavily. After a couple of moments she opened her eyes and looked down at me, a lazy smile on her lips. Tenderly, she pushed my hair back and stroked my cheek lovingly before cupping my jaw, motioning for me to come up. I could still taste her on my lips, licking them appreciatively, making her blush.
'Oh my... Edward... that was... that was... amazing! I just... and then you... and then...'
She was a rambling mess, but to me, she made perfect sense. I felt exactly the same. I loved that I could do this for her, make her feel this good.
This was the one thing I had hardly ever done with a girl before, and the few times I had done it, it had never been like this. This intense. Which made the experience even more special.
'I know, baby.'
'Right?', she giggled.
I moved to get off her, but she quickly wrapped her arms and legs around me, securing me in place. I was happy to stay in her arms, listening to her pounding heart, breathing in her scent while nuzzling her neck.
'I'm gonna go get cleaned up,' Bella announced, 'Hand me my underwear?'
It was endearing how, even regarding our previous activities, she was still rather selfconscious about being semi-nude around me.
I rolled off her and quickly retrieved the purple lacy boyshorts I had deposited on the footboard. After putting them back on she hopped off the bed and made for my bathroom. Standing in the doorway, she looked at me over her shoulder and smiled shyly.
'Care to join me?'
Hell yeah!
I was already standing at full attention after what I just did – who knew getting my girlfriend off could be such a turn-on? – but the sight before me now; that incredibly sexy girlfriend in nothing but her underwear, emphasizing her beautiful body and creamy skin, blushing like that... She was the epitome of innocent sexiness... or sexy innocence... whatever, and it was turning me on even more, making my jeans seem uncomfortably confining.
I practically jumped off the bed and hurried over to where Bella was standing. She giggled at my eagerness, to which I could only shrug.
'I'd be a fool to turn that down, baby.'
She might have been owning me completely, that didn't stop my cocky confidence from making an appearance from time to time.
While Bella turned the water on to heat up, I took out a couple of towels and placed them on the counter next to the sink. I then made quick work of my jeans, internally breathing a sigh of relief at the much needed extra room.
Bella was positioned just outside my shower, reaching in to test the temperature. I moved up behind her and rested my hands on her hips. I skimmed my nose from her shoulder up her neck to her ear, whispering her name and pulled her against me, my prominent erection caught between us, pressed against her lower back. She froze and gasped. Slowly, I slid down one of her brastraps.
'Uhm, Edward?'
I stopped and she turned around in my arms. She rested her hands on my upper arms but didn't look at me as she spoke.
'I didn't mean to get your hopes up... but... I'm-just-not-ready-for-that-yet', she rushed the last part, her blush even deepening.
To say I wasn't a little disappointed would be a lie. But I also knew this was to be expected. And as much as I longed to claim her in every way, to show her what I felt, physically, I didn't want to rush her.
Putting a finger under her chin, I coaxed her to look up at me. I tried to convey my sincerity with my gaze.
'B, I'm not expecting that. Yes, I'm a guy, and as you can probably tell, you have a certain effect on me,' I grinned, 'but we're taking this at your pace, alright? Whenever you're ready. But until then, I just wanna be with you and make you feel good. Okay?'
When she nodded her understanding, I kissed her. Bella moved her hands to my chest and then further down. She hooked her thumbs in the waistband of my boxers and slid them down, thus freeing my aching cock, while sinking to her knees. Then, in a move that made me fall even more in love with her – and yes, at this point my feelings were completely and irrationally tied to my physical reactions – she looked up at me sweetly and placed a quick kiss on my cock, which actually twitched at the contact.
When she stood back up, Bella moved to take off her bra, but I stopped her.
'Allow me.'
Geez, can you possibly sound any huskier?
We locked eyes as I unclasped her bra and slid it off her body. Then it was my turn to get on my knees as I pealed off her panties. When she was once again naked before me, I got back to my feet, caressing her skin on the way up, before capturing her lips in a kiss.
When I opened my eyes, the room was already steaming up, so I opened the shower door and stepped under the spray, pulling Bella with me. She stepped under the showerhead and closed her eyes as she tilted her head to soak her hair, offering me a spectacular view of the water running down her naked body. As she ran her hands through the wet strands, I took a moment to appreciate Bella in all her glory for the first time. She was so tiny, but with curves in all the right places; from her long, toned legs, leading up to a well-proportioned ass, to her tiny waist that I could almost completely wrap my hands around, and her flat stomach. And then her breasts: they were just the right size for her frame. Round and perky, they were firm yet soft.
She squeezed her eyes shut and scrunched up her nose in the cutest way while rubbing her hands over her face, getting rid of the excess water before opening her eyes.
'Fucking perfect', I breathed.
Before she had time to respond or react one way or another, I had taken her head in my hands and captured her lips in a heated kiss. I pulled her flush against me, her hands slipped around my waist and she kissed me back hungrily. The hot water was raining down on us, adding to the heat and anticipation crackling between us. Running my hands through her wet strands I tilted her head back, exposing her throat to me, licking and sucking on her skin.
The feel or her soft, slick body against mine made me harder still and I groaned, fighting the urge to thrust inside her, my hips bucking against hers. Bella responded, grinding against me, making it even more difficult for me to keep my urges under control.
Not ten minutes ago she had told me she wasn't ready; I didn't want to push her. And I sure as hell wasn't going to take her virginity in my shower! When she was ready and would let me...
When?
Yes, when.
Who says she's gonna give it up to you?
A guy can hope, can't he?
Anyway, I was going to make it special for her, a night worth remembering. Not hurried, uncomfortable, and definitely not while my father and Esme were in the same house.
Aren't we turning into a romantic sap.
Whatever. Bella deserved it.
So when I began to fear my brain was being clouded by lust, I pulled back.
'Baby, if you keep on doing that...', I shook my head, 'You're making it very hard to contorl myself.'
Bella slipped a hand between us, stroking me while grinning cheekily.
'Hard, huh? I can tell...'
I moaned and involutarily thrusted into her hand. This confident, provocative side of her was going to be my undoing one day.
Don't you dare tell me you're complaining! Admit it, you love that she's exploring her sexuality with you.
'I don't wanna take advantage of you', I panted while she gripped me more firmly and slowly started pumping.
'I know, baby,' she practically purred in my ear, 'and I think it's amazing that you're willing to wait.'
Her hand around my cock was slick with water and precum as she passed over the head with her thumb.
'But,' she continued, 'we can still do other stuff. Please, Edward, let me make you feel good.'
How could I deny her when she used my own logic against me? Not to mention the sensations her hand was causing and the way she looked up at me, all big, innocent, brown eyes framed by long, dark lashes.
I surrendered to her touch and kissed her. Already, she knew how to read my physical reactions and alternated her grip and tempo accordingly. I felt the telltale tightening in my abs and balls. Dropping my head to her shoulder, I put my right hand on the wall behind her while holding on to her with my left arm. She seemed to sense I was close, because she used her free hand to gently massage my balls while pumping me hard.
That was all it took. I grunted her name as I shot my release over her hand and stomach.
The girl's hands were magic!
When I lifted my head and opened my eyes, I was met with Bella's smug smirk. She was still stroking me. While I appreciated the gesture, my erection was fading and my now sensitive cock twitched at the contact. Kissing her softly, I pried her hand away from me and proceded to clean up the mess I had made.
Bella giggled as I picked her up and carried her out of the shower. I quickly wrapped one of the towels around my waist, then used the other to wrap around her. Usually, I couldn't care less about the kind of detergent we used in this house, as long as it did what it was supposed to do, but in this moment I was glad Esme stocked our laundry room with fabric softener and those little sheets you put in the dryer, because the large, white towel was soft and fluffy – perfect for Bella.
Dude. Seriously? You're turning into a girl! Since when do you care about fluffy towels and fabric softener?
Bella grinned up at me and I had to admit it was a rather comical sight: the towel was so big she was completely cocooned by it. I kissed the tip of her nose, then started drying her off.
Bella regarded me as I did so, and I couldn't take my eyes off hers, getting lost in them. Her gaze softened as she reached up her hand and lightly traced the side of my face, from my temple to my jaw.
'What are you doing to me?', she murmured.
Drying you off.
Taking care of her.
'I'm falling for you,' she sighed, 'so hard...'
In response, I leaned in and kisses her. Her soft lips moulded to mine perfectly and as she opened her mouth and searched out with her tongue to find mine, that's when it hit me. This, right here, right now, this moment, this feeling... it was everything and anything I would ever need.
Bella leaned into me and as my hands moved to her waist, the towel, the ends of which I was still holding, fell open, exposing her naked skin once more. I felt her bare breasts press against my chest and I could feel her heart beating wildly. Again, her hands quickly found their way into my hair. When she tugged, it sent spurts of electricity straight to my groin and reawakening cock and I couldn't help it; I pulled her closer against me and pressed my hips against hers. Bella moaned into my mouth and I knew I had to make her come again. Swiftly, I lifted her up on the counter next to the sink and positioned myself between her legs. Keeping one hand on her hip, I moved the other between us, testing and teasing her still bare flesh. She was so wet – again, still, who knows? – causing my now fully erect cock to strain against my towel.
She held me close to her, locking me in place. As if I was going anywhere anymore! Suddenly, one of her hands flew to my towel, trying to loosen it.
'What are you doing?'
'I need to see you', she replied as she dropped my towel to the floor and gripped my cock in her hand.
My hips jerked at the contact and I could feel her getting even wetter on my fingers. This must be turning her on about as much as it was turning me on.
Geez, you think?
Bella hooked her ankles around the backs of my legs, pulling me closer, and scooted more to the edge of the counter. My cock was now only inches from where it longed to be, begging to replace my fingers. She pushed closer still, grinding her hips against me, creating the most excruciatingly amazing friction. I could actually feel how wet she was on my cock.
Okay, now we just need to push forward a little bit and we're home...
Instinctively, I moved even closer. I was now grazing against her, but before I could move any further, she tensed up again.
'Edward...', she whispered.
I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes yet. I was too ashamed. I had been so close to literally pushing her too far, to taking her on my bathroom counter in the heat of the moment...
So instead, I rested my forehead against hers and exhaled heavily, trying to calm down and willing my aching cock into submission.
'Hey,' she said, and kissed me, 'look at me.'
When I opened my eyes, instead of the anger I was expecting, I found heat and lust in her gaze, combined with something else... frustration?
'Damn it, Edward, I want you, so bad, but...'
'But you're not ready,' I sighed, resigned, 'I know.'
'I swear, I'm not trying to be a tease...', she started to apologize, but I interrupted her.
'Believe me, I know. This is all new to you. It's new for me, too. We'll have to work together in this. I just don't want to overstep your boundaries, but you're too desirable for your own good.'
She smiled and kissed me again and pulled me close once more.
'You feel so good against me, baby,' she moaned and ground her hips against mine, 'Just try not to slip inside, okay?'
'I think I can manage that.'
But before we could really continue our sort of naked dry humping, there was a knock on my door. I groaned internally at the interruption, yet did not let go of Bella and merely rolled my eyes, to which she giggled.
'Edward?', my father called from the other side of the door.
I knew he wouldn't leave until I had answered; my car was parked right outside, so he knew I was home. Best answer and get it over with.
'Yeah?'
'Esme's got dinner almost ready. Are you coming?'
'In a minute!', I called back, while winking at Bella, who had to stifle laughter by now, the double meaning not lost on her.
When I had heard my father leave, I intended to finish what we started, but Bella moved to get off the counter.
'Where do you think you're going?'
'Uhm... get dressed? Carlisle said dinner...'
'We've still got about twenty minutes before it's actually ready. And besides, I'm not done with you, yet. I need you to come again before we leave this room. I won't be able to for at least a couple of days and I don't do anything halfheartedly.'
'Oh, alright,' she said, 'If you must.'
'Oh, I abso-fucking-lutely must.'
A/N I'm sorry it took me so long to update. I've been having a rather crazy time lately, starting a new job and finishing up at the old one. Also, I was seriously lacking mojo for a while and found it difficult to concentrate on my writing. But things are looking up now (a Halloween getaway to London with my BFF and another friend helped a lot) and I hope you'll forgive me for the delay. Plus, I gave you THREE (well, two and a bit) lemons this chapter =)
I've been doing some beta-work on Littlestar300's new fics Love's Little Book and Born Thrice. Check them out here: http:/www (dot) fanfiction (dot) net/s/6344201/1/ and http:/www (dot) fanfiction (dot) net/s/6456517/1/Born_Thrice and leave her some love.
Also, I intend to write a o/s for The Cherry Exchange http:/www (dot) thecherryexchange (dot) com which is accepting entries throughout November. Well, if I manage to finish it in time :p
Finally, I've been getting ideas for a new fic, which will be AU from New Moon onwards. Be sure to put me on author alert if you're interested.
