38.
She's like a perfect little porcelain doll… pink lips, pink cheeks, dark hair, dark eyes. She's lying on my plain white cotton sheets, and I'm scared she'll smudge if I touch her. Will my rough fingers scratch at her perfect skin? Will she shatter if I hold her too tight?
"Edward," her voice is soft, and seems to melt into the muted percussion of raindrops against my windowpane.
When I meet her eyes, however, her gaze is sharp, almost annoyed. What did I do now?
"Have you changed your mind?"
That jolts me right out of whatever contemplative daze the sight of her delectable body had put me in.
Shaking my head, I step closer to the bed. I still have my boxers on, but the sight of her… I can't help but stroke my cock a little to relieve the goddamn need that is pulsing through it. Her eyes light up and she sits up, reaching for the waistband.
It's fucking painful asking her to wait. But this is important.
"Bella, listen to me." I sit down carefully, not that it soothes my aching balls. "If we do this, don't expect to waltz off in the morning. You need to know this is not a one night stand. This is not some random fuck just because we happen to be stuck here together. You get that?"
Her hand starts to stroke up my thigh, and I think I lose a few brain cells.
"And If I don't agree? What if I want just a one night stand? What then? You going to turn me out?" her tone is sharp, but her hand is trembling.
I reach over and kiss her deep and long, just so she stops blurting out stupid questions.
"Then I'll work to change your mind. But you need to know where I'm at. And… I think it's only fair, before you get in deeper with me… you need to know some things. I won't deceive you, but I don't... I mean…"
Her hand cuts off my nervous rambling, and I can't help but lick at her palm. Rolling her eyes at my juvenile behavior, she pointedly and slowly wipes her palm off on my boxers, stroking my cock for an all too brief moment. I reciprocate without thought, caressing her soft tits, circling her nipples till they harden again.
"Edward, whatever it is, can wait. I'll stay, ok? Whatever you want, just get naked and get inside me, right the fuck now."
A/N: *Whistling nonchalantly* See you tomorrow... oh, and stock up on some ice. I've heard it's going to be a scorcher!
