Chapter 29
I was woken up by the sound of something crashing to the floor. I opened my eyes and through the dark I could see Rose sleeping peacefully in her bed. But I was sure enough that I'd heard something and I knew I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep before I'd investigated what it was. I snuck out of the room and tiptoed down the stairs. I didn't turn the lights on when I got downstairs since I didn't want anyone to know I was up, if there was in fact someone downstairs. I moved slowly towards the kitchen, but there wasn't anyone there when I got there. I walked over to the living room and that's when it struck me. Someone was sitting on the couch. I was just about the let out a huge cry when the person sitting on the couch suddenly spoke to me.
"It's just me, Bella. I'm sorry if I scared you. I hadn't planned on cominh home in the middle of the night. I'm really sorry."
It was Edward. Edward Cullen sitting alone in the dark. And he sounded sad, downright anguished. I could just make out his shape in the dark and he had his back turned to me. Why was he sitting here in the middle of the night? And why was he said?
"Are you alright?" I could hear myself asking as I'd managed to regain my composure.
"I'm not great". That was all he said.
I went over to the couch and I could see that he was sitting with his hands in his lap and his back slouched.
"Would you like to talk about it? Rosalie told me about what's up with Jasper before, so you don't have to pretend in front of me", I said and took a seat next to him on the couch.
"She did?", he asked sounding surprised.
"Yeah, she wasn't very specific but she told me he's gone off to stay with relatives since he's been having… a hard time. So I suppose your visit wasn't what you'd expected in some way?"
He just looked at his hands, not answering my question.
"You don't have to talk me if you don't want to", I hurried to say. I wasn't about to press him about stuff he didn't want me knowing. Perhaps he already thought I knew too much.
"Things are just not going the right direction when it comes to Jasper", Edward said, sounding utterly tormented. "I'm just really worried about him. About my family."
So things were as great as Rosalie made them out to be?
"Oh, I thought he was doing better", I mumbled.
"He was, he was", Edward said, sounding as he was about to cry. "But I'm not really buying his whole act that he's getting better and realizing his past mistakes. There's just something off about it. I don't know…" He trailed off, not saying anything more.
A few minutes passed on and he didn't say anything more. Is this the part where you're supposed to hug someone and tell them everything was going to be alright? But what the hell did I know about this situation really? Jasper might be a downright heroin addict for all I knew and I wasn't about to give Edward false hope since I knew nothing about it. Instead I opted for leaning over and giving him a big hug. I could sense him relaxing in my arms and I could feel him leaning his face against my neck. He smelled so good and I could feel his soft hair against my face. We sat still like that for a long while without moving or saying anything. I could feel him inhaling air against my neck and it made me shiver to my very core. After a few more minutes or so I let go of him and he slowly eased out of my embrace. We were left just looking into each other's eyes. And that's when it happened.
I don't know why I did it, if it was me trying to console him or if it was pure chemistry, but I leaned over to kiss him. He didn't shy away from me. Instead he placed his hands against my face and drew me to him. As soon as our lips touch I could sense my mind going blurry. Without thinking, just feeling, I drew him closer to me and let my body merge with his. This was like nothing I'd ever felt before. I could feel my breathing get heavier and somehow I was unable to remember any logical thoughts I'd ever had about Edward Cullen. I wasn't a rookie to these things, seeing as Dan and I had spent quite a few nights together during our relationship, but I'd never felt losing my head this way. I climbed up in Edward's lap and started rubbing myself against him. I could feel him exhale sharply and I noticed that I seemed to be having the same effect on him as he was having on me. I kissed his neck as I was grinding on him and I could feel his hard on under me. It was obvious that he wanted me the way I wanted him.
But as I started unbuttoning the buttons of my pajama I could feel him tensing up.
"I don't think…" he started, but I covered his mouth with mine to make him quiet.
"Don't think", I said and unbuttoned the last button and let my shirt fall to the floor. I wasn't wearing a bra and even though the room was dark I could see Edward staring incredulously at my bare breasts. And that seemed to be enough to make him stop overthinking this and instead he leaned over and let his mouth close around one of my nipples. I let out a hushed moan, careful not to make any noise and risking waking Rosalie up. My pleasured sounds seemed to entice him even more and suddenly I could feel his other hand easing its way into my shorts. I almost blushed at the thought of him touching me there, realizing I was wet as the ocean. But the thought soon left my mind as I could feel his fingers working their way inside my panties and instead my head was filled with only thoughts of lust. I could feel his finger stroking my slit and suddenly one of his fingers parted my lips and slid inside me. I gasped, but he covered my mouth with his, willing me to be quiet. But it was impossible to be quiet when he started pressing his finger deep inside of me and I had to push my face hard into his shoulder to be able to silence my moaning. I could feel my body getting heavier with each stroke. I didn't care anymore if Rose heard us.
Just as I was about to climax he suddenly stopped and took his hand away. He took his hand out of my pants and then went on to licking the finger he'd just had inside me. The gesture made me blush and I could feel myself going stiff in his lap.
"Sweet", he said and smiled teasingly at me. I could feel myself blushing even more, this wasn't at all the coy Edward Cullen I was used to. "Would you like to come with me upstairs, to my room?"
"Yes", I said without any hesitation at all. Suddenly I couldn't remember ever wanting anything more than that.
Without saying anything more he lifted me up and started carrying me towards the stairs. I was feeling a bit exposed with my chest bare, but seeing as there was no one else at home and Rose was asleep I figured it was okay. As we got to Edwards room he put me down on the bed and then started taking my pants off. After having removed my last piece of clothing he stripped down to his birth suit. Even though the lights were off and only the light from the moon shone through the window I could see the contours of his body. This guy was a Greek god by the way his muscles were showing. And as he lay down on top of me I could also tell that this guy was packing some gun. I could feel his member against my stomach as he lay on top of me and it was b-i-g. Once more he started stroking my labia and I could feel myself getting wetter and wetter at his touch. Suddenly he parted my lips and let two fingers slide inside me. Before I had time to react I could feel him thrusting his fingers deep inside of me. I struggled for breath, but felt how I was coming up short. Once more he thrust his fingers deep inside of me and I let out a small cry.
"Would you like me to make you come?", he whispered in my ear as he leaned over me.
"Very much", I said and took a firm grip of his penis. He inhaled sharply as I touched him and then let me guide him with my touch. As he lowered himself on top of me I could feel him sliding deeper and deeper inside of me. This was nothing short of heaven. As he'd slid all of him inside, he started moving, slow at first but then quickening his pace. As he was moving inside of me I could feel him rubbing his thumb against my clit and I sensed myself growing tighter around him. As he moved he was breathing heavily, panting with his face against my neck. Just as I was about to climax he suddenly slid out of me and left me panting for more.
"I want to make this last a while", he said. "Would you roll over to your stomach please?", he said looking intensely into my eyes.
His straightforwardness made me blush once, but without a question I rolled over. I could feel him easing him down on top of me again and once more I could feel him sliding into me. This time he wasn't wasting any time and he thrust himself deep into me at once. I let out a cry and took a firm grip of the sheets.
"I want you to come for me, really hard", he whispered in my ear and suddenly I could feel his fingers on my clit again. Once more his fingers worked his magic on me and I could feel my body getting heavier by the second. It only took a minute or so before his touch sent me through the roof and I could feel myself convulsing under him. As I was coming he removed his hand from my clit and took a steady hold of my shoulders and thrust deep inside of me once more. He let out a hoarse moan and then slumped down on top of me. He was breathing heavily into my ear and every inch he moved made me shudder with pleasure. Suddenly he let his hand wander once more and I could feel his finger closing in on my clit. He started circling my clit once more, slowly letting his thumb rub it in a way that was soon going to send me through the skies again.
"I just really like the sound of you when you come", he whispered into my ears as he was lying on top of me, slowly stroking me to another orgasm. "Are you going to come for me again?", he whispered hoarsely into me ear and then intently stroked my clit a bit harder.
"Mhm", was all I managed to respond and I could feel my body growing tense at his touch.
"Then let me hear you come", he whispered and started stroking me faster. Only seconds after I felt myself climaxing once more and even though my body was shaking all over the weight of his body on top of me forced me to remain still. After I'd climaxed the second time he remained on top of me for a short while and then rolled off me. My whole body was tingling and I could feel every part of my body relaxing. I had almost forgotten how good sex could be, after all it had been a couple of months. But was sex ever this good? Even though it had been a while and my mind was starting to get a bit foggy – no. Sex hadn't been like this before.
"I'd like to do that to you again", Edward whispered in my ear and he was stroking the small of my back. Even though I was far from really grasping that it was me, Bella Swan, lying next to this Adonis I didn't hesitate with my answer.
"I would like you to do that again".
