Chapter 27 – Rendezvous

After Edward left, Bella laid back on her bed just remembering back to the events of the day, a smile pulling at her lips. The day had been absolutely perfect; from the picnic lunch in the meadow, to the 'other activities' in the meadow, to the movie and dinner at the Cullen's house.

She had been so worried about meeting Edward's family before hand, but she had to confess that dinner was just plain fun: at least until Emmett turned his teasing from Edward to her. She had to admit it to herself though she actually enjoyed his teasing.

She felt like this family could be a place where she was really accepted. They all had their back-stories and issues, but they all loved and accepted each other for who they were today. Esme and Carlisle had done a terrific job at bringing together so many people from different backgrounds to create this wonderful family; a family, that if things kept going the way they were going, she would soon be a part of.

Bella pulled herself out of her inner musings and looked at the clock radio in her room, surprised to see it was 10:45. She sighed, knowing that she needed to shower and head to bed so she got enough rest for school tomorrow. She was not looking forward to her first day back after what happened on Tuesday, but Esme had eased her mind a bit by saying she was going to try to get Edward transferred into a few of her classes. She only hoped that would happen but wasn't going to hold her breath.

She dreamily completed her evening rituals – showering, brushing her hair and teeth, and taking out her contacts, before putting on some flannel pajama bottoms and a spaghetti strap tank and going downstairs to say good night to Charlie.

She found Charlie sprawled out on the sofa, which was too short for his body, snoring softly. He must have fallen asleep during the post-game wrap-up. Bella stood over him for a minute and smiled. She was really glad that he had come to Phoenix for her after the accident. He was such a great guy and she realized that she needed to give him a chance to be a dad; it wasn't his fault that Renee and taken her away from him.

She kneeled down in front of him and gently shook his shoulder. "Dad, you're gonna really hurt your back sleeping here. Come on. Let's get you upstairs to your room." His eyes fluttered open barely and then closed again almost instantly as his snoring resumed. "Dad. Charlie. Charlie! I'm serious. I'm not carrying you up stairs, so if you want to walk like a hunchback tomorrow that's your decision. I'm going to bed. Goodnight!" When she heard rough mumbling sounds and nothing else, she huffed and stormed away.

Back in her room, Bella climbed into her full size bed, shivering a little at the feel of the cold sheets on her bare shoulders. She reached over and turned off her desk lamp before pulling the covers up to her neck. When she had talked to Esme earlier, she had been completely honest. She wasn't afraid of having a repeat of last night's nightmare. Being with Edward all day today really helped her understand that he would never leave her. Whether she deserved it or not, Edward loved her; who was she to doubt his love?

Just before closing her eyes, she thought of what Edward had told her when he had unlocked her window. "You may be able to sleep without me but I don't know if I can say the same. This is my contingency plan." And then right before he left he whispered unevenly in her ear, "I love you too, my beautiful Bella. Get some sleep, you're going to need it." He had punctuated his statement by biting down on her neck, causing her to groan, before walking away with a smile on his face.

Happier than she'd ever been in her life, Bella drifted off to a deep sleep, dreaming again about Edward, only this time it was more of a fantasy than a nightmare.

…..

Edward had gotten home just after 9:30 and went upstairs to get ready for tomorrow. He already missed Bella so much and it had only been fifteen minutes since he held her in his arms. He was completely serious when he had told her that he didn't know if he could sleep without her.

Yesterday, it had been her that needed him; needed to feel his arms wrapped around her to calm her from the nightmare and show her he would never leave her. Tonight, she had told Esme that spending the entire day with him really showed to her that he wouldn't leave her and that she'd be okay tonight without any medication.

He just wasn't so sure about himself. Sure, he knew if he mentioned his thoughts to his mom, she would give him something to help him sleep, but he always hated the way the meds made him feel. So instead he had come up with the idea of unlocking Bella's bedroom window, so that if he needed to, he could sneak in in the middle of the night and just lay there with her, holding her.

He wanted to try to sleep without her just to prove to himself he could, but he also wanted to have a plan in case he was unable to. At 10:00, he lay in bed and turned off the light. At 11:00 he was still lying there, wide-awake. He had tried every trick he new, from counting sheep, to clearing his mind, to picturing an ocean and imagining hearing waves. Still, he couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, at 11:30, he decided that if he didn't get some sleep, he was going to be a complete zombie at school tomorrow, so he climbed out of bed, slipped on a pair of jeans over his boxers, tossed on a t-shirt and some shoes, and quietly snuck out the front door.

He knew no one would hear him drive off because the Volvo was practically silent when it was running so he wasn't worried about getting caught. Actually, he wasn't worried at all because of what Esme had said to him earlier in the evening. She told him he was an adult and didn't need permission, even though she did appreciate him asking.

Well, tonight, he decided he was just going to go, without asking for permission, so he left. He drove for ten minutes before pulling onto Bella's street. He parked the car a few houses down and away from any streetlights. He knew that Carlisle and Esme would be okay with him spending the night at Bella's, but he didn't know what Charlie would do or say and he didn't want to get Bella in trouble.

Keeping to the shadows, he made his way across the few yards that separated him from Bella. As far as he could tell, no one noticed him, not even any dogs. When he was below Bella's bedroom window, he paused for a moment wondering if his presence would actually be welcomed. He knew, of course, that it would be, so he climbed up the tree next to the house and slowly raised her window.

Once he was inside, he closed the window behind him and turned towards Bella's bed. There she was, his angel, sleeping peacefully in the center of the bed. He decided to just watch her for a few minutes. Slowly and carefully, so as not to wake her up, he sat on the edge of her bed, facing her.

She was just lying there peacefully with a serene smile on her face. He wanted to reach out and stroke her cheek, but he also didn't want to wake her, so he just sat there for another few minutes and watched her. He was about to climb in beside her when he heard her moan and call out his name. He quickly realized that she was dreaming about him and it instantly aroused him.

He couldn't help himself anymore; he had to touch her. He tentatively reached out and let his fingertips trail down her beautiful cheek. Her skin was so soft it felt like silk underneath his touch. He continued moving down her face to her neck and shoulder, watching as his fingers left a trail of goose bumps on her skin.

Slowly, he leaned in and kissed her perfect lips, lightly tracing the bottom one with his tongue, before licking his way up her jaw to her ear.

"You are so beautiful, Bella; absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe you're mine." He licked up and down the cartilage rimming her ear before sucking her lobe into his mouth and playfully biting it with his front teeth.

"Mmm… Edward," she spoke sleepily and he knew she was on the brink between consciousness and unconsciousness. "I love you Edward. I need you; I need to feel you." She still sounded like she was more asleep than awake, but he decided to change that.

Very deliberately, he let his hand travel down her neck to her breasts, tracing them lightly through her tank top. Her nipple immediately perked up under his touch and he smiled as he began tracing it with his thumb. He felt Bella start to shift a little but he kept going, sliding his hand under the hem of her shirt and moving it up her body, exposing her beautiful mounds to him.

With his mouth watering at the sight, he brought his lips to each breast and placed open-mouthed kisses all over each one before sucking the peak of her right breast into his mouth, groaning at the throbbing in his dick. Once his mouth and tongue contacted Bella's erect nipple, her eyes flashed open and she gazed directly at him.

"Oh Edward, you came!" she practically squealed when recognition took over her face.

"Of course I came, Love, but you need to keep quite. Your dad is right next door and I don't want him hearing us and coming in with his guns blazing." Edward realized that was probably exactly what Charlie would do if he heard a single noise in this house. "What?" he asked when a huge smile took over Bella's face.

"Edward, he fell asleep on the couch. I tried to wake him around eleven but he was dead to the world. I'm pretty sure we're okay," she told him, still smiling.

As soon as the words left her mouth, his lips crushed hers, his tongue demanding entrance. Bella opened to him and his tongue entered her mouth so quickly, intimately exploring every nook and cranny. He pulled away from her mouth, but continued kissing her; peppering her face and neck and shoulders before moving to her breasts. She quickly peeled her shirt off, giving him easier access to both, and he quickly palmed one while sucking on the other.

Bella began to moan and tell him she wanted more from him, so he quickly sat up and pulled her pajama pants down, exposing a pair of black, lacy boy shorts. The sight of Bella lying on her back in bed, breasts bared with her nipples perky, wearing only a thin piece of lace below was almost enough to make him lose it right then and there.

"God Bella, could you be any more perfect?" he asked her. "You are so damn sexy that I could just eat you up!" He growled deep in his chest as he brought his head down between her legs, running his tongue the length of her slit, which was only protected by the lace. "Baby I can smell how aroused you are," he told her as desire burned throughout his body. He wanted her more than he had ever wanted her and he decided it was time to take what he wanted.

…..

Bella was having the most incredible dream. Edward was there with her and he was touching and kissing every inch of her body. It felt incredible. Just when she thought the dream couldn't get any better, she felt something. It felt a little too real to be part of the dream, but she didn't want it to stop, so she kept her eyes closed and moaned. She was afraid that if she opened them, the feeling would stop and she wasn't willing for that to happen, so instead, she kept them closed and enjoyed whatever it was she was feeling.

When she felt her breast being sucked into someone's mouth, she couldn't take it anymore and her eyes shot open, immediately seeking the source. They instantly found Edward and locked onto his. "Oh Edward, you came!" she squealed, elated at the fact that he was in her room with her again.

Edward chuckled a bit at her exuberance, but smiled at her and said, "Of course I came, Love, but you need to keep quite. Your dad is right next door and I don't want him hearing us and coming in with his guns blazing."

After Bella told him that Charlie was asleep on the couch and dead to the world, Edward pounced. He kissed her with such ferocity it was as if they hadn't seen each other in years instead of hours. When he broke the kiss and moved back, Bella felt a loss, but it was quickly quenched when he began kissing her everywhere else: her face, neck, and shoulders, moving his way toward her breasts.

To make it easier for him, she stripped out of her tank faster than he could blink but he didn't miss a second. As soon as she was free of her shirt, his lips were on her sensitive skin again, sucking and nibbling at her. He was driving her crazy and she wanted more; scratch that… she needed more.

She realized that she must have said it aloud, when Edward quickly grabbed her pajama bottoms and freed her of them. She was lying on her back naked now, save for a pair of black lacy boy shorts. She smiled up at Edward and saw that he had a feral look in his eyes. He needed her too.

"God Bella, could you be any more perfect?" he practically growled at her. "You are so damn sexy that I could just eat you up!" She heard a rumbling sound that originated deep in his chest as he brought his head down between her legs. She almost cried out as his tongue slid out and licked her through her panties. "Baby I can smell how aroused you are," he purred and all she could do was moan. She knew she was aroused from the minute his started kissing her and she wanted him to do something about it. Now.

As if he could read her thoughts, he fisted her panties in his hands and yanked them roughly down her legs, discarding them on the floor. He knelt down beside her bed, dragging her to the edge and plunged his face into her wetness. She felt his tongue lick her entire slit before finding and teasing her clit. She gasped as he shoved a finger roughly into her opening before pulling out and adding another. He turned them over and curved the tips, hitting her g-spot and making her body jerk uncontrollably.

He watched her as she bit into a pillow to mask her screams and he shoved his fingers deeper and deeper inside of her, hitting the perfect spot again and again. He didn't even allow her time to come down from one high before bringing her to another. It felt like she was having one non-stop, mind blowing, life-altering orgasm, all brought on by his fingers and his talented tongue. He continued to suck at her opening, licking her dry as he maintained the rhythmic pumping with his fingers.

Finally, licking and sucking apparently weren't enough because he starting biting her folds and pulling, allowing her to feel his teeth where she never had before. It was erotic to say the least, and again, she had to hide her face in her pillow to keep from screaming out loud.

When she knew it was safe to uncover her face, she did so. She looked at Edward, begging him with her eyes. When he saw the look on her face, his features softened and he rose from the floor, gently nudging her to the center of her bed. He stood back for a minute to disrobe and then crawled in to where she was lying. Once he was there, he lifted her legs, placing her feet on his shoulders and positioned himself at her entrance.

"Is this what you want, love?" he asked her, his own need filling his voice. He looked at her confused when she shook her head no.

She hurried to explain. "No, Edward. I don't just want you filling me I need you filling me. I need you so bad that it hurts right now. Please?" She knew he could hear the begging in her voice, but she didn't care. Every word she spoke was the truth and he needed to hear it.

Without even blinking, he slid into her so softly. Perhaps it was to make up for biting her and being rough down there, or perhaps he wanted to make it last. Whatever the reason, she didn't care. All she knew was that he was inside her and she was whole again.

For the next several minutes, he pumped in and out of her slowly, sensually. Her walls hugged his member tightly but it wasn't enough. She looked at Edward and saw that he was looking at her. She saw so much love and devotion in his gaze that her breath caught in her throat.

"Baby, that feels really good, but now I really need to feel you. I need to feel you fast and deep and hard." Without having to say another word, Edward started to pick up his pace. He placed a hand on either of her hips, pulling her off the bed and allowing himself to drive deeper inside of her. He was in so deep that she could feel him up into her stomach.

He brought one hand from her hip to the inside of her legs and started massaging her swollen clit. She could instantly feel the coil begin to tighten in her stomach as she drew near another orgasm. Needing something to do with her hands, she gripped her breasts and squeezed to ease some of the tension she was feeling. Edward groaned at the sight and drove impossibly deeper into her.

She reached up and grabbed her pillow again, hugging it to her face and releasing her screams into it as she tightened around him. Feeling her orgasm was enough to send him over the edge as well and she felt him twitch just before he released his load into her. He pumped a few more times before collapsing on top of her with a heavy sigh.

"Bella, you are absolutely incredible," he told her just before kissing her lips sweetly. "What time does your dad usually get up?"

She thought for a minute before telling him between six and seven. She watched as he took his cell phone and set an alarm clock for five and placed it on her nightstand. Then he relaxed into the pillows and pulled her to his chest wrapping his arms around her. "Now I can sleep," he said just before his breathing got heavy. Bella fell asleep quickly after and her dream picked up where it left off earlier.
