Chapter Four
...and giving me your weekends.
It's been a few weeks since my afternoon tryst with Edward and life's been busy. Between Edward's long hours at the hospital and my own workload increasing due to an upcoming book release, it doesn't leave us much time to sneak off and have our way with one another. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I'm excited about the upcoming project I'm working on, but I'm in desperate need of more than a quick makeout session and grope in Em and Rose's bathroom.
On the other hand, Alice and Jasper have been seeing more and more of each other since their lunch date. They've been out to dinner a few times and Jazz has even brought Alice lunch at work. They're cute and I'm happy for them, if not a little jealous.
"Bells! I hear Alice call from the kitchen.
"Yeah?" I call back, putting the manuscript I'm reading for work down on the bed and walking out of my room.
"I just had a text from Jazz, he asked if he and Edward could come over after dinner" She says, her eyes sparkling.
"Sure Allie, that sounds good" I say.
"Oi!" She shouts when I steal a piece of garlic bread she's cutting. "It'll be five minutes Bella! God, it's like feeding time at the zoo!" She chuckles at my antics.
I give her the finger and walk back into my bedroom to put my work away before dinner. It's not unheard of for Jasper to come over to our apartment in the evening. He quite often stops off on his way back from work or offers to walk Allie home from hers but I'm curious as to why Edward is coming with him.
Five minutes later I hear Alice call me, telling me that dinner is ready. I walk into the kitchen and practically inhale the spaghetti she's cooked, only slowing when she says, "Geez Bella, hungry much?"
"Sorry" I say, around a mouthful of pasta. "I missed lunch".
"Bella! You've got to start taking care of yourself!" she reprimands from the other side of the table.
"I know, I know but we've been so busy with this book release." I reason.
"You work to live Swan, not the other way around" she says, pointing her fork at me.
"It will all calm down after this weekend." I say, finishing the last few bites of my pasta.
She gives me the stink eye but lets it go.
Once we've both finished eating, I help Alice clean up from dinner, rinsing our plates and putting them in the dishwasher while she packs up the leftovers. Just as I'm putting the last things away, I hear a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Alice says, skipping over to answer it.
I hear the door open and then Jasper's voice asking if they're too early.
"Not at all! We were just clearing away." Alice replies as she walks back into the room. I turn, drying my hands on the towel as Jasper walks around the corner. I give him a smile before my eyes find Edward.
He's dressed in tracksuit bottoms and a loose hoodie, his hair looks like he's been running his hands through it and he looks tired.
"Shall I put the coffee on?" I ask them. They all nod and I watch as Alice and Jasper walk around the corner to the living room. I turn to switch on the machine and feel Edward walk up behind me.
"Hey" he whispers into my ear, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I can smell his shampoo and cigarette smoke.
"Hey" I say, turning my head slightly to look at him. His eyes are slightly bloodshot and there are dark circles beneath them.
"You look tired" I tell him, he nods and shrugs a little.
"Long day" he said, "Long month" he adds, huffing out a laugh. He turns, checking over his shoulder that the others aren't in view and then leans in, kissing down my neck.
God, I really need a couple of hours alone with him.
My hands reach up and run through his hair. I feel his tongue peek out and tickle my pulse point before he pulls back.
"Hmm" He hums. "Shall I help?" He asks, pointing to the machine behind me.
"Yeah, that would be great" I reply, turning to get four mugs out of the cupboard. I pour the coffee and then pass two mugs to Edward, taking the others myself.
Even though Edward and I haven't spent any alone time together since our afternoon a few weeks ago, I do feel things have gotten easier between us. He's still a flirt and still drives me mad with the teasing touches and dark stares, but I know what I'm dealing with now. Plus, the occasional sneaky grope session helps.
"We're coming in guys! Hope you're decent!" Edward calls jovially as he rounds the corner into the living room, throwing a wink over his shoulder at me. I chuckle at him.
"Shut up Edward!" Alice says, blushing brightly and stealing a glance at Jasper.
Edward lets out a deep chuckle sitting on the loveseat. I place two coffees down in front of Alice and Jasper before taking the seat next to him.
"So," I say "to what do we owe this pleasure?".
Allie and Jasper exchange glances before she gives him a little nod.
Oh god, they're not engaged, are they?!
"Well, I'm being sent on a business trip next week...to Virginia...and I wondered if Allie wanted to come as my plus one." Jasper rushes out in one big breath.
I look at Jasper my eyebrows raised.
That was not what I thought he was going to say.
"Oh wow" I say looking over at Allie who is pink with pleasure. "That's cool, right?" I look over at Edward for agreement. He nods, a glint in his eyes.
"Yeah well, I've only got two meetings in the morning and one lecture the following afternoon so I'll have quite a lot of downtime. Then there's a dinner on the last evening which I can bring a guest to...if I have one?" Jasper says, looking over at Alice.
"I'm sure Alice would love to go, right?" I say.
"Course I would Jasper, I'd love to!" Jasper smiles from ear to ear and immediately looks much more relaxed.
"How long is the trip?" I ask Jasper, taking a sip of my coffee and trying not to puke at their cuteness.
"We would have to fly out on Friday night and fly home Monday morning" he replies, also sipping his coffee. "So...three nights?"
"Wow" I say, looking over at Edward. His eyes are boring into mine with a dangerous look in them. "Three nights" I repeat.
Does this mean what I think it means?
I raise my eyebrow slightly at Edward, trying to get him to confirm my thoughts and he gives a tiny nod. My lady parts do a happy dance.
I turn back to Alice and Jasper who for the next half an hour discuss things to do in the time Jasper will have off and what kind of clothes Alice should bring with her for the dinner.
"So have you got any ideas of how we could occupy our time while our roommates are away?" Edward suddenly whispers into my ear.
"I have a couple" I reply, looking at him out of the corner of my eye.
"Can't wait" He whispers, leaning back on the couch. He drops his arm to the cushions behind me and lightly pinches my ass. I jump, holding in a squeak of surprise and Edward coughs, covering his laugh.
The boys stand to leave shortly after. Edward and I wander into the kitchen, giving Allie and Jazz a moment to say goodbye in private.
"So...three nights..." Edward says quietly to me in the kitchen.
I hum in reply.
"The things I'm going to do to you" He whispers in a gravelly voice, pulling away just before Alice walks in followed by Jasper. My entire body temperature spikes from his words and if we hadn't have been interrupted, I might have jumped him then and there, Alice and Jasper be damned.
We walk the guys out, Edward giving me a smoldering look on the way which isn't helping my current predicament at all, before locking up and turning in for the night, Alice with Virginian sugar plums dancing in her head.
As I lie in the dark, staring at the ceiling, I will myself to go to sleep.
The things I'm going to do to you...Edward's voice echoes in my mind.
Fuck, seven more sleeps.
The week passes painfully slowly. I feel that hours have passed by when only minutes have. I drum my fingers on my desk, staring blankly at my screen, willing myself to do something, anything to distract myself until Friday night.
Suddenly my phone dings.
Hey - E
I bite my lip, opening the chat and quickly replying
Hey - B
His answer comes back almost immediately.
Not working? - E
Trying to, but can't seem to concentrate - B
I bite my bottom lip, twirling my hair around one finger as I wait for him to reply.
Hmm. What's on your mind? - E
I re-read the message three times.
What do I say? The idea of all the orgasms I'm hoping to have at the weekend.
Just thinking about the weekend - B
There, not too bad right?
I wait for a minute, then two, but he doesn't reply. Eventually, I put my phone down and look back at my emails. After five minutes my phone dings again.
Oh really? It's been playing on my mind too. What exactly were you imagining doing with your time? - E
Oh shit. Is he initiating sexting?
Oh god, I'm no good at this kind of thing.
I type a reply, then delete it, then rewrite a reply before deleting it again.
Well, Alice and Jasper leave on Friday afternoon obviously, so I might treat myself to takeout and a movie. - B
Wanna join? - B
I send the second message before I have the time to bottle out. Again a few minutes pass by and no reply comes.
Oh god, I bet he's laughing at me. Showing my stupid message around the hospital canteen...
Before my thoughts can spiral out of control my phone dings again.
Will there be dessert? - E
My heart rate picks up and I feel a tingling in the pit of my stomach. I squeeze my legs together to relieve some of the pressure there.
I'm sure I can come up with something - B
I hit send quickly, feeling my cheeks flush from the innuendo.
God, Bella, what are you? Twelve?
I'll be there. 7pm? - E
I smile slightly when I read his message.
Perfect - B
I put my phone down on the desk and put the back of my fingers to my cheeks, trying to cool them. Friday can't get here quick enough.
Thank fuck it's Friday!
I practically skip out of the office on Friday night, breathing the cool evening air deep into my lungs. This has to have been the longest week on record. I'm pretty sure time actually moved backward at points.
I hail a cab and slip into the back before taking out my phone. I quickly text Edward.
Hey. Just heading home now. What do you fancy - Chinese or Indian? - B
Just as we're pulling up outside my apartment my phone dings.
Surprise me - E
I smile down at my phone, tucking it back into my bag and heading inside. I unlock the front door, kicking off my heels and dropping my bag to the floor. Alice and Jasper left this afternoon so I have the whole place to myself from now until Monday lunchtime.
I quickly go into my room, stripping out of my work clothes and tugging on some leggings, a cami, and an oversized cardigan.
I find my phone in my bag and decide to call the Blue Lotus, our local Chinese place. I place an order, asking for Edward's usual. I'm told the food will be half an hour. Perfect.
I go into the living room, drawing the curtains and turning on the lamps and TV. I browse through Netflix trying to decide what to watch when there's a knock on the door.
I hear my heart rate beat double-time as I stand and walk over to answer the door. Edward stands in the hallway in casual tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie.
"Hey" he says, looking like trouble.
"Hey" I breathe.
I step to one side so he can come in and then close the door behind him. He turns to look at me, that lopsided grin taking up residence on his face. I stand in front of him, our eyes locked, unsure of what to say now that's he's here.
"So...beer?" I ask, already walking over to the fridge.
"Yeah, that would be great." He replies, his eyes following me.
I pass him a bottle as well as grab one for myself. We both pop the caps and take a swig, Edward's eyes never leaving mine. We stand in silence for a moment, just looking at each other.
"So, I ordered Chinese from the Blue Lotus and it should be here in about twenty minutes. I didn't really know what you'd want so I just ordered your usual, but obviously, if you want something else you can always share a bit of mine". I ramble, feeling my cheeks heat up under his gaze.
Edward smirks at me, trying not to laugh.
"My usual is great Bells, thanks" he says, a twinkle in his eye
I nod taking another swig of my beer, enjoying how the alcohol warms my throat and calms my nerves.
"So, what are we watching?" Edward asks.
"I don't mind really. I've turned Netflix on if you wanted to have a look?" I ask, pointing at the TV as we walk into the living room. "Do you fancy an action or a comedy? There's also a couple of new murder documentaries on here..." I say, flicking through with the remote.
Murder documentaries Bella! He's going to think you're a fucking murderer yourself if you keep acting like a weirdo!
Say goodbye to your orgasm girl.
Edward places his beer down on the coffee table and then walks over to me slowly, taking the seat next to mine. He gently takes my beer and the remote from my hands and places them next to his drink.
"Relax Bella." He says in a deep voice. His hands cupping my face making me look at him.
Before I know what I'm doing I'm leaning in, capturing his mouth with my own. I hear him groan quietly. My hands make their way into his hair and I turn my body slightly so I can kiss him easier.
He wraps one arm around my waist, pulling me further into him as he deepens the kiss, the other hand going to the back of my head, fusing my mouth to his.
I moan into his mouth, loving the way he makes my body feel like it's on fire. He swipes his tongue against my bottom lip, asking for entrance. Our tongues slide along each other and his hand tightens in my hair.
I pull away, needing to breathe and he continues his kisses across my jawline and down my neck. I moan when he sucks lightly on the skin just below my ear and moves the arm around my waist to cup my breast in his large hand.
His touch is so warm and his body feels so solid. I run my hands down to his shoulders, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck as he continues his assault on my neck.
He groans, pulling back and looking me in the eye. His eyes have darkened and he's giving me that look that I've quickly learned is his "turned on" face. He quickly recaptures my mouth, pushing me back slightly until I'm lying on the sofa. He moves his body over mine, placing a knee between my parted legs. I run my hands down his chest and stomach, feeling his muscles contract under my fingers.
BUZZ
We both jump, pulling apart.
"Fuck" Edward laughs, breathing slightly heavily, his eyes wide. He moves off of me, allowing enough room for me to get up from under him.
I quickly run over to the intercom and press the button.
"Hello?" I say, sounding breathless.
"Delivery" the voice replies. I press the button, letting him in, and then open the door to collect our food a few moments later. I pay the guy and then close the door behind me.
"Hungry?" I ask when I see Edward standing behind me in the kitchen.
"Famished" he replies, flicking his eyes down my body.
I place the containers on the table and get two plates out. We dish up our food and then head into the living room. In the end, we settle for some movie we'd both seen before.
We eat in silence for a while, recovering from our interrupted makeout session before I turn to Edward.
"So how's work?" I ask around a mouthful of chow mein.
He sighs, "It's fine. Busy." He replies, putting another spoonful of rice in his mouth.
"You not getting much sleep?" I ask, seeing the dark circles under his eyes again.
He shrugs. "Does anyone that works in a hospital get much sleep?" He replies with a soft laugh.
I nod in understanding.
"How about you anyway? You had your big book release the other week right?" He asks, taking a swig of his beer and fixing his eyes on me.
"Yeah" I say, surprised he remembered. "It went really well. The press seem to be impressed with the book which is good. I think my boss is trying to convince the author to turn it into a series". I reply.
"That's cool" Edward says. "I'll have to check it out". He smiles at me.
"I don't know if it's your kind of thing Edward" I say with a slight laugh.
"Why? Am I not learned enough for it?" He looks at me with one raised eyebrow and his mouth full.
"It's about dragons". I reply.
He pauses, his fork halfway to his mouth.
"I fucking love dragons" He says before continuing to shovel food in.
I laugh loudly, the sound bubbling out of me in surprise. He looks over at me, joining in my laughter, giving me a wink.
"You're such a dork at times Edward" I say, still chuckling to myself. He shrugs and continues to eat.
Once we've finished with our food, I take his plate, putting them on the counter in the kitchen. I call out to Edward asking if he wants another beer.
"Please" he calls back.
I grab two more beers from the fridge and then head back into the living room, taking my seat on the couch and passing a bottle to Edward. He thanks me.
I lean back into the couch, tucking my legs up next to me and stare at the movie on the screen. A few minutes pass and I wriggle in my seat, trying to get comfortable, my legs cramping a little. After a while, I feel Edward's hands on my ankles, pulling my legs out.
"Edward what-" I start to say but he shushes me, pulling my legs out straight and over his lap, resting his hands on my calves. I look at him for a moment, expecting...something, but he just keeps watching the movie. I turn my attention back to the screen in front of me, trying to focus on the plot.
I've just managed to refocus my attention when I feel Edward's fingers slowly start to brush up and down my bare ankle. I feel that prickling heat start to travel up my body from my toes to my hairline and can hear my breathing get heavier.
His fingers continue to sweep in soothing circles on my ankle before slipping under the bottom of my leggings, stroking higher up my calve. This continues for about five minutes before I decide I can't take it anymore.
"Edward" I breathe out, looking over at him with a slightly pained expression on my face.
"Bella" He looks over at me, his eyes darker than before, his hands still on my legs.
"Either touch me properly or not at all" I reply in a whisper, sounding bolder than I feel.
Edward moves quickly, pushing my legs off of his lap and moving up the couch towards me, capturing my mouth in a heated kiss. His lips move against my own, his tongue entering my mouth and massaging against mine. His hand reaches down to my breast, continuing from where we were interrupted earlier. I groan.
He moves slightly, placing one knee towards the back of the couch and the other in between my legs. I moan when I feel him, hard against my thigh. He thrusts slightly rubbing himself against me, while lifting his knee to exactly where I need him.
I feel Edward shifting about above me, struggling to find any purchase on the couch to keep his weight off of me. Suddenly he pulls away huffing frustratedly.
"Bella, I'm sorry but I can't do this on the couch. There's not enough room and I'm going to crush you" he says, his face inches away from mine. His hair falling into his eyes.
"Bedroom" I reply with a nod.
He rises to his knees and then stands, holding out his hand to me as I follow him. I walk swiftly to my bedroom, practically dragging him behind me, the movie long forgotten.
As he blindly pushes the door closed behind him, he bends his head to kiss me. I'm so wound up that I press my body into him with more force than anticipated, pushing him into the door.
"Urgh" He groans, breaking the kiss as his back hits the hard surface.
"Sorry" I whisper, feeling embarrassed.
"Don't be" He replies, returning to kiss me with more passion than before. Edward's hands go to the buttons on my cardigan, undoing them quickly before pushing it off my shoulders. It falls to the floor and I kick it out of the way, knocking it under the bed.
My own hands go to the hem of his hoodie lifting the fabric until Edward takes over, breaking the kiss to pull it over his head, leaving him in a plain white tee. He reaches down to the bottom of my cami and pulls it up my body, me lifting my arms above my head to help him take it off. I run my hands down his chest as he resumes the kiss, walking me backward towards the bed. When I feel the bed at the back of my knees, I sit down on the edge, making me level with Edward's very hard cock.
I reach out my hands, slipping my fingers beneath the waistband of his pants. I look up at him, his eyes burning into me as I pull them down over his hips, letting them fall to the floor. Edward steps out of the garment, kicking them to one side.
I can see his chest rising and falling quickly in the dim light. I swallow thickly, lowering my gaze and turning my attention to the sight before me. Again, I slip my fingers beneath the waistband of his black boxers and pull them down, Edward's cock springing forward and bobbing slightly with the action.
He's hard, so hard it almost looks painful, the tip a deep red and shiny with pre-cum. I take a breath, breathing out through my nose. I really want to do this for him, but I'm nervous.
What if I'm not as good as he's used to?
"You don't have to Bella" Edward's says, pulling me back to the here and now. I can hear in his voice he doesn't really mean what he says, but I'm touched he said it anyway.
I look up at him again and act before I can change my mind. I lean forward, taking the tip of him into my mouth. Edward tilts his head back with a groan, his teeth finding purchase on his bottom lip. He moves his hands, one lifting his t-shirt out of the way and the other gently holding the back of my head.
I take my time tasting him, feeling him heavy on my tongue. I suck him in as far as I dare to go, wrapping my hand around the part that won't fit into my mouth, before pulling back, almost to the tip.
I keep a slow, steady rhythm, loving the small sounds that Edward is emitting under my touch. I glance up at him and his eyes lock with mine, his head tilted down, watching me pleasure him. I moan quietly at the look on his face. Edward's hands tightened in my hair in response.
"Fuck baby...you feel so good" he groans above me, making my panties even wetter than before.
I increase the pace slightly, running my tongue along the underside of his cock and twisting my hand along the part I can't reach. I hear Edward's breathing hitch and then his hand moves away from my head. I glance up to see what he's doing and watch as he reaches back over his head, pulling his shirt off, leaving him naked before me.
God, he's so fucking hot.
His hand returns to my head, gathering my long hair and twisting it around his fist. I feel the pull on my scalp and moan, closing my eyes at the sensation.
"You like that baby?" He asks, fixing me with a burning stare, "You like me being rough with you?"
He gives my hair a tug to show his meaning, his mouth twitching up into a smirk. I moan even louder, feeling slightly embarrassed by how turned on I am right now.
I refocus my attention back on Edward, pulling out all my best tricks. I suck him into my mouth, as far as I can go, lightly grazing my teeth along the underside of his cock as I pull back.
"Huh" Edward lets out a slightly startled laugh as his head falls back and his eyes close, his body swaying slightly. I can't help the internal happy dance I feel.
Me, Bella Swan, is making Edward Cullen, blow job extraordinaire lose control.
I bring my free hand up, rolling his balls in my palm, eliciting a deep groan from Edward. He spreads his legs slightly, increasing the pressure he has on my head.
Oh, two can play at that game.
I reach back, stroking the soft skin just behind his balls just as I suck him back into my mouth, as far as I can take him.
"Fuck" Edward chokes out.
Suddenly, he's pulling away from me, his cock leaving my mouth with a pop. I'm just about to ask if I did something wrong when I see the wild look on his face.
"Get on the fucking bed" He growls.
I've never moved so quickly in my life, scooting backward so I'm fully on the mattress, my eyes never leaving Edward's as he crawls towards me. I'm suddenly struck by how predatory he looks.
Does that make me his prey?
I hope so.
His hands fly to the waistband of my leggings, ripping them down my legs before he throws them behind him. His hands immediately return to my panties, practically tearing them from my body, pulling me towards him slightly in his haste.
"Fuck, I need you...right now" He growls. I nod, thinking I couldn't handle any foreplay anyway. I throw myself to the side, grabbing the box of condoms from my bedside cabinet, quickly passing one to Edward.
He rips it from my hand, quickly tearing it open and putting it on.
I lie back, spreading my legs in invitation as Edward crawls over me, his cock at my entrance. In one smooth thrust, he enters me drawing a raspy moan from my mouth.
He starts a quick, sharp rhythm, pumping his hips into mine, leaning down on his forearms, covering my body with his own. I can hear his heavy breathing in my ear, feel his hot breath on my neck and his chest sliding against my own.
I lift my legs, wrapping them around his waist, desperately trying to make him hit that spot inside me that will make me see stars.
"Urgh Bella" I hear him moan in my ear as he jackknifes into me.
I can do nothing but moan back incoherently. I feel like my body is on fire. His body, his touch, his scent, the way he's moving above me too much for my mind to cope with.
"Oh fuck" I pant as he leans up slightly, finding that place within me that makes the trumpets sound.
"I need you to cum" Edward says, turning his head and leaving sloppy kisses on my neck. He lifts one hand, taking my own from his shoulder, where it's been clinging on for dear life, and drags it down my body, encouraging me to touch myself.
He lifts his head a little and dark, hooded eyes meet mine.
"Touch yourself" he pants, his mouth covering my own. I slide my hand down, squeezing it between us, and start rubbing quick tight circles over my clit. I immediately start to feel the knot in my belly coil and the heat rise up my spine.
I move my hand slightly, trying to find a better angle and brush my fingers against where we're joined.
"Urgh" Edward groans, ripping his mouth from mine and looking at me, his eyes wide. "Fuck"
I moan in response, rubbing harder against my clit. He moves his hand, pulling my leg slightly further up his back.
"Oh shit, I'm gonna cum" I moan, feeling my orgasm fly towards me like a freight train.
"Urgh, yeah" He groans in reply, tucking his head back into my neck, panting hard. I feel Edward starting to lose his rhythm and can tell he'll cum soon.
Just a little longer.
I feel his teeth lightly bite my neck and I'm done for. I throw my head back, moaning incoherently into the air around us. I feel my walls clamp down around Edward and him groan loudly into my shoulder, following me over that blissful cliff.
When I finally come back down to earth I can feel Edward's hips still moving slightly against me, drawing the last drops of his release from his body.
"Fuck me" I pant, hearing Edward's breathy chuckle.
"I thought I did" He replied, lifting his head and pulling out of me.
I roll my eyes at him, watching as he removes the condom and throws it in the basket by the bed.
He lies back down on the pillow next to me and turns his head, his eyes meeting mine. We stare at each other for a moment, our chests rising and falling rapidly.
"What's going on in that head of yours?" Edward asks, his eyes flicking between my own.
I'm quiet for a moment.
"Honestly?" I reply.
"No. Lie to me." He deadpans back.
I laugh quietly, rolling my eyes.
"I don't know. I was just thinking that I enjoyed myself." I say, shrugging one shoulder.
Edward laughs, shaking his head.
"Only you, Swan, could make fucking sound like dinner at the Olive Garden" he says, rolling onto his back, his eyes closing.
I chuckle back, shrugging again.
After a few moments, I hear his breathing even out. Soon, I feel my own eyes dropping before I, too, succumb to sleep.
