Cruise Ship Confidential

by AllorNothingKR

After Bella felt like she had lost it all, she risked everything in hopes of healing and finding herself nearly a world away. However, she wasn't expecting to meet a person who had the ability to change it all. Was she ready for change or would she be content to return to the only life she'd ever known?

38. Cruise Ship Confidential 38

Thirty - Eight.

Things were quiet between us for a few minutes. Edward placed lazy opened mouth kisses on my shoulder, collar bone, neck, cheeks, and lips. He was driving me crazy, but I wasn't ready to give into his spell.

"Edward?" I mumbled against his skin.

"Yeah, baby?"

"Am I your summer fling?"

All his movements froze immediately. He leaned back to look at me. His forehead was scrunched up in confusion.

"Is that what you think?" he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know."

"Bella, you are so much more than a summer fling. If there wasn't this giant fucking magnet pulling me to you every second of every day, I never would've dreamt of trying to be with you. I don't usually date women who have live in boyfriends," he laughed, "but there is just something other worldly about you that I cannot explain. When I am with you, everything feels right. When I'm away from you, I'm lost. I don't know how else to explain it, other than that I have lived everyday of my life searching for something and when I'm with you, I have it."

He killed me. He fucking killed me. I felt exactly the same way, except I hadn't searched my entire life for "something." I didn't even know "something" existed until I met him.

"I'm just scared," I said honestly. "You represent so much risk. Your contract is up a month before mine. You live on a different continent. I don't want to hurt Jake. There's so much working against us."

"How many risks have you taken in your life, Bella?"

I didn't have to think long about that. "One," I said honestly.

"How is it working out for you?"

I captured his lips between mine. I allowed my tongue to trace his bottom lip before I sucked it firmly between mine and kissed him again and again and again. "It's working out pretty well," I beamed, and he smiled against my lips. "Point well taken," I offered before he had pushed me on to my back and assaulted me with wet-warm kisses and laughter. Happiness. Bliss. Ecstasy. Edward made them all happen. He made all the pain go away, and I was addicted to the feeling he gave me in return.
