Chapter 36 – Nuptials
Kayce stood in her wedding gown gazing into Esme's overly excited eyes. "So, what do you think?" Kayce asked spinning around in a circle. Alice was standing right behind Kayce scrutinizing the fit of the dress.
"I think it is absolutely beautiful on you. You look like a vision of loveliness," Esme responded. "You have excellent taste."
"You sound like Carlisle," Kayce giggled. Esme smiled and winked at her.
"Lift your arms up," Alice demanded. Kayce lifted her arms. Alice placed her icy fingers on the delicate crystal straps clinging to Kayce's shoulders, which crisscrossed under the bust line. Alice placed a pin in her mouth and pinned the strap precisely where she wanted it to be sewn. "Turn to the side." Kayce turned sideways once more, as Alice was inspecting the vertically pleated bust line. Kayce couldn't feel Alice's fingers smoothing down the pleats. Alice checked the fall of the small sweep train that billowed out delicately behind her. "Okay, I only need to make adjustments to the straps and then it's perfect," Alice said with a bright smile.
Kayce carefully stepped out of the dress and put on a robe. She was excited, but terrified that soon her life would be changed forevermore. She sat down on the nearby chair and watched Alice make the modifications to her wedding dress. Alice's tiny fingers were moving so fast it was a blur as she sewed the dress by hand. Just watching made Kayce dizzy.
She stood up and peered out of the open window. There was a skeleton of a large tent erected outside and she could see Edward along with his brothers stringing up three large chandeliers. She watched with awe as they swiftly and quickly set up. She saw the chandeliers blinking on and off as they checked the lights to make sure everything was in proper order. Edward must have known she was watching because he sweetly blew her a kiss before going back to work. Soon, the guys were draping sheer white fabric over the tent frame. It had begun to look elegant and almost exactly how she had envisioned it.
Kayce had been brought out of her reverie, realizing she was with Carlisle standing regally at her side. She was remembering what took place a few hours prior. "Kayce, are you all right?"
Kayce startled and looked up at his smiling face. "Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking that a few hours ago this very moment seemed distant to me." She blushed for her human reaction.
"That's okay, Kayce. It is entirely normal, even for us. Just because we are vampires, doesn't mean we don't get nervous," Carlisle said. He held his arm out to her and wrapped it in his own. "Are you sure that is all?" he asked sincerely, his eyes urging her to tell him the truth.
Kayce's face fell ever so slightly and she confided in him, "I really wish my parents were here. I feel like I am being selfish by marrying Edward without having them here by my side."
"Well, you can bring them here if you would like. We all could explain to them what has happened up until this point; how the both of you got to this very moment," Carlisle offered sincerely. Kayce's face fell. Deep down, she knew they wouldn't understand. They would automatically think she was crazy and when she transported them to the ceremony, they most probably would be afraid of her and run off. Carlisle verbalized what she was thinking. "They wouldn't understand. You can always have another wedding. You and Edward could go back to your time and you can properly court each other and plan a wedding with your parents included."
Kayce's face lit up, "I'd like that very much, Carlisle." He smiled down at her and embraced her gently as if she were a fragile Faberge egg. "Alice would kill me if I wrinkled your gown," he whispered in her ear. Kayce nodded in agreement with a bright smile.
It was nearly time and she felt like she had elephants running around in her stomach. She felt as if she were being stared at by hundreds of eyes, but she hadn't stepped foot on the aisle. There was a white aisle runner that stretched out quite a ways. Rose petals were strewn about as a tiny local girl was sprinkling them in a random fashion. She swallowed hard. Carlisle turned toward her and smiled, speaking reassuringly, "Once you see Edward, everything will all fall into place."
A bead of sweat was trying to escape at the nape of her neck, but her curled mane trapped it there. When the wedding march began, she tried to progress with a forward momentum, but Carlisle kept her steady, "Not yet sweetheart, just give it a moment to heighten the anticipation of your arrival." He patted her hand tenderly. They waited a few moments and then he turned to gaze in her eyes. "Ready?" he finally said.
"Yes, I'm ready," she whispered. They stepped onto the rose petal strewn aisle runner and paused. All of the family and friends stood up and audible gasps could be heard, the typical reaction you get at weddings when the beautiful bride emerges. When Kayce's eyes met Edward's, she felt utterly at ease. All of her nerves were for nothing.
Edward's butterscotch eyes had taken on an emerald quality very suddenly, sparkling with eager anticipation. The walk seemed to take forever, but finally she made it. Carlisle lifted her veil and kissed her cheek with an icy peck. He replaced her veil and then looked to the pastor. Kayce's heart pounded in her chest, but she managed to smile hugely at Edward.
Alice and Rosalie were standing up by her side. They were radiant in their strapless, cocktail length sheath dresses. They picked a beautiful royal blue color.
"We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people, Edward and Kayce, whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one. They now desire to profess before all the world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together. To these two young people, this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit which is a part of each of us, yet not of anyone of us alone. This 'birth of spirit' reminds us of spring the season when all life is reborn and blooms again. It is appropriate, therefore, that this wedding of Edward and Kayce be under the open sky, where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life, the totality of living things of which we are a part," the pastor said, holding his bible in his hands. Kayce handed Rosalie her bouquet of roses, as Edward had taken both of her hands into his. "Do you Kayce, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take Edward to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Kayce beamed at Edward, as she gazed deeply into his emerald eyes. "I do."
"Place the ring on his finger," the pastor said once more. After Kayce slipped the wedding ring onto Edward's finger, the pastor looked to Edward. "Do you Edward, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning from them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Kayce to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
Edward smiled his lopsided grin to Kayce, "I do."
"Place the ring on her finger," the pastor said. Edward slipped the wedding band on Kayce's finger and they both smiled hugely at one another, feeling they were the only ones present. "Let these rings serve as locks – not binding you together - but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever. You may now say your vows to one another," the pastor said.
The pastor looked to Kayce for her to begin. She took a deep breath and began to speak as happy tears streamed down her cheeks. "I love you, Edward. I know that you are the only one for me, my one true love. I am happy and I am grateful that you came into my life, that where others have spent their entire lives looking for the one, I have found you. And now that I have found you, I shall never let you go. I promise you, Edward, that I shall hold you and cherish you and give you my heart, that I shall support you and care for you. Faithfully, I shall always stand steadfast at your side with your hand in mine, regardless of what life would bring to us. I take you now as my husband, and I shall remain so for the rest of my life."
Edward's eyes grew sincere. He rubbed her hands in soothing circles, as he became to speak, "Today, I want you to know, Kayce, how lucky I feel for having found the one perfect person for me, the one who suits me so comfortably and who gives me joy and boundless hope and anticipation for the future. Every day we're together, you do nothing but make me happy. The day we met was the day I became truly alive again, and today, our wedding day, I declare my love and devotion for you before the entire world. I make a vow to stand by your side through the best and worst of times, and to give you the best of what I have from now until the end of our days," Edward said with enough emotion to knock Kayce down.
"With these statements made of love and trust, which we have just heard, I now wish to greet Edward and Kayce as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the pastor said with a gleam in his eye.
Edward leaned in toward Kayce, gently lifting the veil from her face. Placing a gentle hand on her cheek, he wiped away a rogue tear of joy that slipped down her cheek with his thumb. Smiling sweetly, he leaned closer, his lips making contact with hers. The kiss began simple and sweet, but soon turned searing and full of promise. Kayce's arms unconsciously snaked around his neck only moments before Edward dipped her low in his arms, finishing the kiss in that position. Pulling back slightly, his beautiful crooked smile graced his lips and lit his features. His eyes were blazing green and black tempests. Slowly, they became aware of the hoots and cat calls from the guests present and Kayce blushed deeply as Edward righted her and held her close.
Turning, they faced their guests and gracefully made their way down the aisle, greeted by many friends and the family along the way, Edward introducing them as they went. They walked to where Alice had multiple tables set up, as well as food to be catered. Kayce was sure it must have cost an absurd amount of money to book the caterer's last minute like this, but she refused to consider the amount and simply accept the sweet gesture from her new family. Their friends were all seated about the tables and enjoying the food brought to them. Kayce and Edward sat at the front table. They were situated in a way that all the guests could see them. A server quickly came to their table and brought a sampling of the Hors D'oeuvres the caterers had brought. Kayce smiled at Edward, knowing he had asked them to bring a little of everything. Edward smiled and watched her closely as the server explained each dish and its contents to Kayce.
There were tiny meat pies with diverse fillings, such as; pork and apple, sweet chili chicken and even kangaroo and crocodile. There was also puff pastry Florentine, grilled beef brochettes, and vegetable spring rolls. Kayce looked about, unsure where to begin. Edward, sensing her dilemma reached for a fork and carefully speared some food off the nearest plate. Raising it to her lips, he watched in intense delight as her mouth closed about the food and she leaned back, pulling it off the fork. When a small moan emanated from her, Edward eagerly speared more food off a different plate, excited for her next reaction.
Once she had tasted all the different Hors D'oeuvres and eaten nearly all she could eat, the servers brought multiple dishes of dessert. There was Pavlova, which was a large meringue covered in cream and then topped off with multiple fruits. Next, was a plate of Tim Tams, a native dish, which were made of two rectangular chocolate biscuits, filled with chocolate and then covered in chocolate. Again, Edward had her sample all of the desserts. Full to bursting, Kayce finally had to call it quits to the spoon feeding from Edward, though she was rather enjoying the way he fidgeted in his seat every time she made a sound of pleasure from the tastes.
"One more bite then for my beautiful wife," Edward begged. Though she was stuffed, she could not deny the pleading tone in his voice and leaned forward to finish the last bite of wedding cake. As Edward pulled the fork back, a small amount of lemon raspberry sauce ran down the side of her chin and she quickly reached for a napkin to capture the rogue spill before it dripped on her dress. She stopped in shock when Edward gently grasped her hand, stopping her movement. Looking at him questioningly, her words failed her when she found his eyes glowing emerald and hungry, watching the pathway the lemon raspberry sauce made down her throat. Kayce gasped quietly as he leaned forward and slowly licked from her collar bone to the corner of her lips.
"Edward..." she gasped, searching for coherent thought. "Why did you do that, you shouldn't be eating human food."
Edward's voice was husky as he spoke, his lips still pressed to the corner of her mouth.
"The sexual torture I am enduring at the moment is more painful then anything a small trickle of raspberry sauce could do to me." Suddenly, they were broken from their heated intimacy by a loud chuckle and slap to Edward's shoulder.
"Crickey Edward, never seen your eyes look like that! I could have sworn they were 'roo brown all these years, but now they are greener then slime!" Kayce grasped Edward's hand tensely, but Edward merely squeezed back reassuringly, dipping his head to Kayce's shoulder, laughing quietly and shaking his head.
"Guess that's what happens when you only see a person at night, eh mate?" Tadek laughed and shrugged it off, quickly moving on to the next subject. Nothing seemed to bother him and Kayce found herself liking him despite his sometimes obnoxious comments. She smiled as he turned to the black haired beauty next to him. Her hair was long to her waist, her eyes a sea grey color and her smile held warmth that instantly made you feel like you had been friends for years.
"Kayce, allow me to introduce Shane." Kayce's mouth opened in an 'o' recognizing the name as the woman whom Tadek had been pining over since childhood. Extending her hand, Kayce gave Shane a warm handshake.
"It's such a pleasure to meet you, Shane." The woman shook her head and her smile widened as she grasped Kayce's hands with both of hers.
"It's a pleasure for me to meet you Kayce. Any girl who has the patience to tag Edward and bring out the feisty love struck side of him he's been hiding away...well she's an instant friend to me! And he obviously got contacts, goof." Shane lightly smacked Tadek up the back of the head, though her eyes held fondness. The gesture instantly reminded Kayce of Rose and Emmett and she smiled. Kayce was enchanted with the lilt in Shane's voice, her parents being Irish, yet growing up in Australia; her tone was an interesting mixture of Irish and Australian accents. Even more interesting, was the way that Tadek seemed to hang on her every word, his eyes adoring, yet guarded should she look at him.
"You are the better of the two of us, as you've put up with these two," Kayce smiled glancing between Edward and Tadek. Shane let out a throaty laugh, punching Tadek in the shoulder and leaning over to muss Edward's hair.
"Isn't that the truth? Come on then, let's do what we came over here to do so the two lovers can finish the ceremony and get in bed," Shane said, nudging Tadek again, she winked at Kayce, who was blushing scarlet.
"Righty, Kayce I've come to claim a dance," he walked around the table, holding out a hand and waiting for her. Kayce glanced around noticed most of the guests were up dancing or playing games of one sort or another. Smiling, she took Edwards's friend's hand and accompanied him to the floor, noticing that Shane was doing the same with Edward.
"You seem a right fine bird, Kayce. Take care of Edward, he's a good mate of mine and will make you an amazing husband. Just keep him outta the sun so he doesn't shrivel up like a jelly fish on sand," he laughed, but Kayce could hear the sincerity in his voice. She smiled up at him, understanding the true depth of friendship these two held for each other.
"I will. He is my life and soul purpose of existence. My heart could never be whole without him." Tadek nodded in acknowledgement, his gaze straying to Edward and Shane, as Shane let out another chuckle. Kayce took a deep breath before speaking again. "If I might say something in return, Tadek," she paused waiting for his agreement, "You can't chose who you love. It will chose you and no matter what your reasoning may be on why that person may be better off without you...love is love. Your heart, your life can not reach its full meaningful potential until you grasp that love. Both of you will be unhappy without it and though I just met you, I can see that you are both secretly in love with the other, but too afraid of the other's reaction to go there. Sometimes the truest leaps of faith are the most fulfilling." Tadek stared at her steadily for a moment, before another smile broke across his features.
"I was right when I told Edward to hold onto you. You're a smart one. Edward needs someone who can keep up with his...unique lifestyle." Kayce knew he probably meant Edwards 'allergy', but she could swear his words held a double meaning. Tadek winked at her before stopping their movement with the music, leaning over to kiss her cheek and whispering, "I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks"
Jasper approached Kayce and gracefully swept her into his embrace. They both glided across the dance floor. The entire dance, Kayce and Jasper both were smiling as they practically floated on air, both stealing glances at their spouse. When Kayce danced with Emmett, they both appeared to be dancing on air, as well. As big and burly as he is, Emmett was very light on his feet and very graceful. He held her close and melodiously sang in her ear.
The DJ got on the speakers announcing the father and mother of the couple wanted to dance with the bride and groom. Kayce and Carlisle danced, as did Esme and Edward. Kayce blushed, as Carlisle complimented her on her beautiful dress and told her again how grateful they all were to have her in their family. She hugged him close, no words coming through the tears that threatened to spill and simply laid her head on his shoulder, enjoying a dance with her new father. Kayce and Edward danced many more songs with friends and family, enjoying the night, but sending each other smoldering gazes from across the dance floor. Finally, a song ended and the DJ announced it was the final dance with the bride and groom.
Edward stalked toward her with the grace of a panther. Her heart accelerated with each step that drew him closer to her and she ached to hold him close. Finally reaching her, he wrapped a firm strong hand around Kayce's waist and pulled her close, her chest meeting his. Her breathing became rapid, as she gazed into his eyes and found the pupils widening, the rims deepening in emerald. There was an air of predatory instinct electrifying the air between them and Kayce was vaguely aware that no space remained between their bodies. She couldn't help but discretely push a little closer, as Edward's left leg pushed as far between her legs as was polite in public settings. Laying her head on his shoulder, her nose and lips lightly brushed the cool skin of his neck. Edward shivered, and she felt, more than heard the growl in his chest, as he held her tighter to him. Kayce gasped and blushed when she realized that she was feeling more than Edward's thigh as they danced.
"Be careful my husband. While I enjoy the obviousness of your need, I doubt Alice brought an extra pair of pants for you." Her words seemed to have the opposite effect then she was going for, as he growled in her ear and gently sucked her earlobe into his lips. Her legs turned to jelly and his arms held her up off the ground, her feet dangling just high enough that her skirt still disguised the fact that she was floating.
"While I love the opportunity to dance with you as my wife...I find myself wondering if this infernal dance will never end," Edward whispered out, his voice dark with seduction, his hands gently rubbing as they held her close. Her heart sped at the insinuation of his words, but her playful side was up for a fight.
"Are you eager for something my darling?" she asked, aiming for a convincing innocence, but her voice coming out with a more insatiable tone then she intended.
"Just you wait my temptress until I get you alone. You will know the full depth of my eager intentions." With that he ran his teeth gently down the side of her neck, the ends now slightly dulled by his incubus. Kayce shivered and her moan escaped her mouth just seconds before the song ended and the guests were applauding them. Edward picked her up bridal style and walked down a pathway covered on either side by friends and family throwing rice and blowing bubbles at them. Kayce noticed this in passing, her eyes firmly glued on Edward's, as he carried her to the waiting car. Placing her inside and lifting her dress to assure it did not get caught in the door, he shut it and moved around the side to also get in. They waved happy goodbyes to their guests and were soon on their way. Kayce laughed when she noticed a Barbie doll taped to the front of the hood of the car dressed in the same material as that of Rose, Alice and Esme's dresses.
"Australian tradition," Edward explained courteously, though his voice betrayed his disinterest in anything but getting Kayce to himself. Kayce was enjoying this side of Edward and decided to have a little fun at his expense. Placing a hand on his thigh, just above his knee, she stared straight forward out the window. Edward let out a light hiss as her hand slowly slid its way up to his upper thigh. Biting her lip, she gave his thigh a little squeeze. She suddenly jolted forward as the car slid to a stop on the side of the road, dust kicking up with the sudden stop. In an instant, Edward was leaning across the console, his lips crashing with hers. Her fingers wove in his hair, gripping it tightly as Edwards hands roamed, eliciting small gasps of pleasure and surprise from her.
"Such behavior while driving is unwise and could have dangerous side effects, seductress. I do not wish to face Alice's wrath, should I bed my wife for the first time, in a Barbie mounted rental car." Kayce stared at him in a daze as he pulled away with a mischievous grin before he pulled back onto the road, flying down the road with renewed vigor.
The car pulled to a gentle stop in front of a beautiful secluded light yellow beach house with a full wrap around porch. Edward exited the car and the few moments it took him to walk around the car felt like an eternity to Kayce. The door opened and suddenly Edward was waiting for her, hand extended, waiting with a silent intensity. Kayce took a deep breath reaching out to grasp his hand. She was slightly surprised to find his hand warmer then usual and looking into his eyes her suspicions were confirmed. They smoldered with an emerald fire filled with promise and desire. Leaning her back against the car, she slid out of the way of the door so that Edward could shut it. As he shut the door with a quiet thump, he leaned into her, his leg once again sliding between hers, his hips pinning her to the car, one hand on the frame behind her head, the other resting on her hip.
"We're home," he whispered in her ear and his tongue slid along the edge of it. Kayce shivered in anticipation and mumbled an incoherent reply.
"Shall I take you on a tour?" Edward asked, covering her neck and collar bone in kisses, sliding his fingers across the skin of her shoulder, showering her with kisses there as well. Again, her words weren't coherent, as his kisses traveled back up her shoulder and throat, gently sucking on the skin here and there. When he finally reached her lips, he tried again, "What was that, love? I'm afraid I couldn't understand you. Would you like to go inside?" His mouth hovered just over hers, skimming the smooth skin as he spoke.
When she opened her mouth to speak, he suddenly brought his mouth to hers, his lips moving in a harmonious and sensuous dance with her own. Grabbing handfuls of his shirt, she pulled him closer, her mouth demanding more. As the kiss deepend, Kayce began to lose herself in it and her tongue slid along the length of his, catching them both off guard. Edward stopped moving, shocked before suddenly groaning and throwing himself back into the kiss. Her hands ran up the sides of his neck and sunk into his gloriously soft hair, fingers tugging at the locks and occasionally scratching his scalp gently. She was so into the kiss and the feel of his body pressed against her, she didn't notice his hand skimming up her side from her hip before lightly coming to rest on her chest. Gasping, she arched into him and a wild sense of need instantly overcame her. Pulling away, Edward rested his forehead against hers and hesitated.
"Is this alright?" he asked, his voice pleading and apologetic at the same time. Kayce pulled his lips back to hers with a hungry passion she couldn't ignore, nor find the reasoning to be embarrassed over. Edward responded immediately, a growl vibrating from his chest against hers as his hands continued to roam. Finally Kayce pulled away.
"Let me answer your question with one of my own." She paused long enough for his eyes to light with recognition of what his question had been. Leaning close to his ear she said, "Are you ready to go inside?" Edward was stock still a moment, the double meaning of her words sinking in. Suddenly, he rocked into her, the whole car rocking back slightly behind them. Kayce giggled, but Edward immediately swept her off her feet and ran with blurring speed through the front door. Kayce hazily noted that it was a good thing the door hadn't been locked or they would be without a front door the remainder of the night.
Edward was just about to ascend the stairs when Kayce suddenly asked him to stop. Edward stared at her like she was mad with a mix of worry that he had done something wrong. Kayce smirked, her adrenaline and lust making her feel bolder then she normally would. Running a finger along Edwards jaw line, she asked him to put her down. He hesitantly put her down, obviously confused. Kayce slowly walked back to the door which had been left flung open and stopped in front of it. Running a finger down the length of the door to the handle, she slowly shut it and locked it, before turning the lights on and turning back to Edward.
"You promised me a tour of the house, good sir. Surely you do not intend on backing out on your promise now?" Edward's mouth dropped open slightly, before he stood straighter with a sigh.
"Alright, that's the door, here's the stairs, bedrooms at the top. Let me show you the bedroom." He reached for Kayce's hand, but she side stepped with a smirk and slowly walked backward toward another room she had noticed once she had turned on the light.
"Uh uh uh," she tsked, "We haven't finished the tour downstairs. I've seen the door and I've seen the stairs, but what's over here?" She sashayed her hips as she walked, pushing through the thin gauzy curtains that sectioned off the different rooms. Running her hands along the walls, she searched for the light switch. A gasp caught in her throat as she felt Edward press against her back, leaning over her to flick the switch on. He didn't move when the light came on and she fought to keep her thoughts coherent enough to continue her charade. Sliding past him, she walked to the center of the room and looked about. It obviously served as a seating room with several over-stuffed chairs and a coffee table in the center. She moved about the room making remarks here and there, acutely aware of Edward's presence pressed up against her back with her every motion.
"Very nice room, shall we continue to the next?" she asked, not waiting for his reply, though she could have sworn she heard him grumble 'no' under his breath before following her. Smirking, she continued into the next room, which led her into the kitchen and dining area. Running her finger along the elegantly cut edge of an oak dining table, she walked into the kitchen and looked at all the furnishings in there. Realizing the light was still off she opened the refrigerator to spread some light around so she could see. Bending at the waist, she gazed at the fully packed fridge.
"Well, I see that Alice and Esme made sure to stock..." she stopped with a gasp as Edward grabbed her from behind, spinning her into his arms and kissing her with passionate abandon.
When she was breathless, he pulled back and growled in her ear, "How long are you going to continue this little charade of yours?" Kayce giggled softly, but as his hands roamed, she could feel her resolve for the game weakening.
"Just a few more rooms to go, dearest Edward."
"You are torturing me Kayce. I need to be with you," he muttered.
She melted at his words, but forced herself to speak. "Yes but you were the one who began the torture darling and the one who instigated the need for a tour, so here we are at your suggestion."
Groaning, he released her and held out a hand for her to leave the room. Walking out of the room, she found they had made a full circle about the bottom of the house and found themselves at the stairs again. Turning to Edward, she found a gleam in his eye and she held out her arms shyly asking him to carry her up the stairs. He was all too eager to do so, sweeping her off her feet and up the stairs before she finished taking a full breath.
Setting her on her feet, Edward smiled his crooked smile, a dangerous gleam entering his eyes. Kayce gulped, knowing he was up to mischief. Turning quickly she entered the first room on the left. It looked to be an office, but when Edward ran his nose up the side of her neck and into her hair, smelling it as he stroked her arms; she quickly shut the door and moved on. Edward grabbed her about the waist pulling her tightly to him from behind as they continued to walk down the hallway. Her heart leapt and she found herself walking quickly from room to room.
"Have I told you how gorgeous you look tonight in this gown?" Edward cooed in her ear. Kayce shook her head, not trusting her voice and opened a door to the guest bathroom. "You look utterly edible." He nibbled on her earlobe and she slammed the door shut much harder then she intended to, cringing at the noise. Edward laughed softly, continuing his new found torture. "Absolutely mouth watering." Her legs felt like jelly, as his hands wandered and when they, again, came to settle on her chest, they gave out from under her, her head lolling back against his shoulder. "However, I can't help but wonder what you look like out of all this fabric." He gave a gentle squeeze and she lunged for the nearest door, praying it was the bedroom.
