Chapter 35 – Unwrapped

Edward had gone to bed beside Bella wearing only a pair of boxer shorts. When he woke, it was to the feeling of light kisses on his neck and upper chest. He moaned and wrapped his arms around Bella's waist, pulling her into him. "What time is it?" he asked groggily.

"Mmm… a few minutes before midnight. You promised to ring in my birthday with me and that would have been difficult if you were sleeping," she explained before kissing his lips. Automatically, he opened his mouth to her and she deepened it.

Everything felt so right with Bella in his arms. When she reached down into his boxers to palm his growing erection, he couldn't help but thrust into her grasp. Her tiny hand felt so perfect around him and was so soft the sensation was incredible.

She pulled her lips away from him, and even in the dark, he could feel her gaze. "Didn't you say something about giving me my present tonight when we were alone?" she asked him with an obvious smile in her voice. He knew it wouldn't take long before she figured out what his 'present' was when he had said that, and hearing her talk about in drove him insane with lust.

He rolled his body so that he was hovering over her and began placing kisses along her neck and jaw. He started to move down her body but her t-shirt hindered his progress. "You're wearing too many clothes," he growled as he reached for the hem of the shirt. He rose up a bit, giving her room to do the same as he slid it up and over her head. As soon as her beautiful body was exposed, he began kissing it again.

As he got closer to her perfect breasts, she arched her back and moaned. With his fingers, he gently rubbed from her left hip up to her breast and gently cupped it in his palm. As if it knew what was coming, her nipple instantly perked up causing his dick to twitch. Not wanting to wait any longer, he brought his mouth down to place open-mouthed kiss against the soft skin of her breasts.

Slowly, he stuck his tongue out and licked a circle around her elongated nipple before sucking it into his mouth. He felt her rub her thighs together to gain friction as he continued to suck and nibble at her breasts. He would move from one to the other and back again. As he continued to attend to each of her nipples, he let his hand side down her flat stomach and slip between her legs.

He immediately felt the heat radiating there, telling him she was aroused. His fingers rubbed circles around her clit through her panties, which were already saturated, and she began making jerky movements with her hips. Knowing she didn't have any other panties here with her, he carefully helped slide them off of her instead of tearing them off like he wanted to. It was painful to take so much time when all he wanted to do was taste her right then and there.

Once he had her panties off, he buried his face between her legs, his tongue taking over where his fingers had been only a few moments before. She was so wet that the moisture was building up on her inner thighs, so after teasing her clit a few times with it, he used his tongue to lick form her knees up to her center. She tasted absolutely divine and he didn't want to miss out on a single drop of her.

As he was licking her legs, he took two fingers on his right hand and slipped them into her, causing her to moan. Gently curling his fingers, he thrust into her soft spot over and over again, just waiting for her to come. When she removed the pillow from behind her head and held it over her face, he knew she was close, so he slipped a third finger in as his tongue flicked and teased her clit.

Finally, when he knew that one more movement on his part would push her over the edge, he bit down on her clit as he thrust his fingers in and out as fast as he could. He could hear her mumbled screams as she climaxed so he quickly covered her opening with his mouth, sucking everything she offered. She had such a sweet taste; he wanted more, so he slid his fingers into her once again and stroked her sweet spot non-stop. It only took a few seconds for her to come to another climax and again he devoured it all.

When her movements slowed as she came down from her high, he crawled up her body and removed the pillow from her face. When she met his gaze, he brought his lips to hers and slid his tongue into her mouth.

…..

Edward had brought her to orgasm twice in as many minutes and it felt absolutely amazing. Each time, he sucked her dry. After the second one, he crawled up her body, removed the pillow from her face, and looked directly in her eyes. Then without a second thought, he brought his lips to hers and inserted his tongue in her mouth. She moaned, as she tasted herself on his tongue, and pulled him closer to her.

She could easily feel his erection between them but it wasn't enough. She needed to feel him inside her, filling her and breaking the kiss, she told him exactly that. Without a moment's hesitation, he slid his boxers off and positioned himself between her legs.

Bringing his lips to hers once more, he kissed her deeply. As he did so, he thrust himself into her hard and fast and if his mouth hadn't have been covering hers, her scream would have woken up the entire house. It wasn't a scream of pain though; it was a scream of pure pleasure. When he knew she was done with her scream, he removed his lips and smiled at her.

Once she knew her voice wouldn't betray her, she whispered, "Wow, babe. I don't know what else to say but w-o-w!" She purposely drew out the word into three syllables to emphasize what she was feeling right then, how he made her to feel. It was impossible to put into words but when he was inside her, she felt whole; there was no festering wound from the loss of her mother, there was no pain. All that existed were the two of them and their love for each other.

To allow him deeper penetration, she lifted her legs, bringing her knees to her chest. As he continued to thrust into her, he passed deeper and deeper until she took him in all the way to the hilt. With slow, steady strokes he kept pumping into her as she covered her face once more with the pillow to muffle her moans.

"Oh god Bella, you are so freaking tight around my cock," he purred as he made another sweep into her. "I love being inside you; making sweet love to you. You make me feel so damn good it's incredible. You're incredible." With each sentence, he pushed into her again and with each thrust, she moaned beneath her pillow. She knew he wanted to bring her to climax again because after a few more drives, his thumb found it's way to her clit and he began vigorously rubbing circles around it.

She began breathing heavily again as she felt the coil in her stomach tighten for the third time that evening. His movements became faster and harder as he slammed into her again and again. She didn't know if he could understand her through the pillow but she began moaning for him not to stop, practically begging him.

The coil sprung loose causing her to tighten around him. She screamed into the pillow again but he didn't stop. Even when she came down from the high he kept pushing into her and pulling out. Finally, he removed himself completely and grabbed the pillow from her face. He brought his lips down to her ear and whispered in a commanding tone, "Get on your knees and put your hands against the wall."

She trusted him so completely and obeyed without a second thought. The next thing she knew, he was kneeling behind her with a hand on each hip. She felt him lean into her as he whispered in her ear again. "Brace yourself and try not to scream," he told her. She had just enough time to draw in a deep breath and lock her lower lip between her teeth as he dug his fingers into her hips and pulled her into him, shoving into her from behind.

Bella was able to hold in her moans of pleasure but had immediately felt her body orgasm a fourth time. Edward seemed to know exactly where to touch and what to do to bring her to multiple orgasms each time they had sex. He always made sure she was able to climax at least three times before he came with her, and even then he was usually able to continue their activities with only a brief rest. He was an incredible lover in every sense of the word.

If someone would have asked her before she met Edward if it were possible for the perfect man to exist she would have said there was no way in hell and been absolutely certain. Now, she realized that he did exist and he was currently fucking her hard. She felt the familiar tightening feeling in her stomach again, but she wanted him to come with her this time.

Wanting to ensure he was getting as much pleasure out of this experience as she was, she whispered, "Baby, I'm so close. I need you to come with me this time. Please?" She knew her pleas sounded desperate but that's because she was. She needed to feel him lose himself inside her.

She began to bite her lower lip to keep from screaming aloud again as Edward repeatedly propelled himself into her. Finally, she felt his hands leave her hips, one snaking around her body to reach between her legs, and the other found it's way to one of her breasts. He used his middle finger to flick her swollen clit as his fisted her breast, pinching her nipple hard. She felt his breath on her neck and the next thing she knew, he bit down hard on her shoulder.

If she hadn't been biting her lip, she would have definitely screamed again because his bite was enough to push her over the edge. She had had some incredible orgasms in the last few days but this one put the rest to shame. When she came, she came hard and finally, to her relief, she felt Edward's dick twitch inside her as he spilled into her.

Without breaking their connection, he tugged her with him back down to the bed. As they lay there, he whispered four beautiful words into her ear. "Happy Birthday My Love." Still joined in the most intimate way, they both drifted off into a deep sleep.

…..

Edward woke up the next morning to his phone alerting him of an incoming text message. Groggily, he opened it up and saw that it was from Carlisle.

The message read: Keep Bella home today. DO NOT LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT! I'll explain everything when I get home. – Dad

Not knowing what to make of the text message, he immediately tensed up, his arm tightening around the naked woman in front of him. Realizing he had never pulled out of her last night before sleep over took him, he slowly shifted. He didn't want to disturb her, but he needed to find Esme to ask what the hell was going on and why he was getting cryptic message from Carlisle.

Feeling the loss of the connection was enough to pull Bella out of her sleep though and it made Edward feel awful. All he wanted to do was hold this beautiful woman close to him and keep her safe, but he knew he wouldn't be able to do that until he got some answers.

Bella moaned and stretched before rolling over and smiling widely at him. Then she must have seen the look on his face because she immediately started to panic. "Oh my god, Edward. What's wrong?" It broke his heart to hear her voice shake like it was but he knew he had to stay strong.

Silently, he handed her his phone, showing her the text from Carlisle. After she read it she started to completely freak out. "What the hell is this supposed to mean? Why can't we go to school? He makes it sound like I'm in danger. Where's Charlie? What do-" She kept throwing out questions without giving him even a fraction of a second to try to answer her so he interrupted by placing two fingers against her lips.

"Shh Bella. It's okay. You need to remember to breathe or you're going to hyperventilate. I don't know what's going on. I just got this text from Carlisle but I think we'd better listen to him. Come on, let's get dressed and go find Esme. Maybe she'll have the answers to your questions." He quickly jumped out of bed and tossed on a pair of jeans, not even bothering with boxers.

He turned around and found that Bella had slipped on her t-shirt and his boxers from last night. If he weren't so worried right then, he would have taken them right back off and fucked her where she stood, she looked so hot. He made a mental note to let Bella wear his boxers again when things weren't so crazy and then he reached for her hand.

Together, they walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, expecting to find everyone there as usual. The kitchen was always grand central in the mornings before school, yet there was no one there. Edward could feel the dread weighing him down but he stayed strong for Bella's sake, pulling her through the kitchen and dining room to the den.

Both Esme and Carlisle had personal offices set up in the den and would only close the door when they were working. Seeing them closed now, he knew he'd find Esme in there. Hesitantly, he reached up and knocked but was met only by silence.

Finally, after knocking a second time, Esme opened the double doors and the look on her face was enough to stop Edward's heart. She looked worried, angry, and sad all at the same time.

Without even thinking about it, he grabbed Bella's waist and pulled her into his arms. Something had happened and apparently Esme knew what it was. He was going to get the answers and he wasn't going to take any excuses. If Bella was in trouble somehow, he needed to know now.

A/N Ok, I know it's a bit of a cliffhanger, but I'm already partly done with the next chapter where you'll get some answers... I promise! :)

I know I said it before but please let me know what you think by reviewing the chapter! 3
