Chapter Twenty-Four
The days in Hawaii pass slowly but before I know it, we're almost at the end of our vacation. I'm lying on the beach, Jasper next to me as we listen to the girls laughing in the water a few metres away from us. I smile a little at the sound of Bella snorting at something Alice's has said before I hear Jasper chuckling too.
"Your girl's got a great laugh" He says.
"I know" I chuckle.
We're quiet for a moment, lying in comfortable silence before I sit up, popping the cap of my water and taking a long sip. I can see Bella and Alice swimming in the sea, talking animatedly about something.
"So, is everything going...well...with Bella?" Jasper's voice says, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I turn my head and look down at him. Even with his sunglasses on I can tell he's watching me.
"Yeah, everything's pretty perfect" I admit with a small smile. Perfect is an understatement but I don't want to sound like a fucking girl so I keep my mouth shut.
"Well, if that mark on your back is anything to go by it's more than fucking perfect" He sniggers.
I turn to look back down at him before looking over my shoulder.
"What mark? I can't see anything" I say, trying to look down my back. Jasper chuckles before grabbing his phone and taking a photo of my back, handing me the phone to see.
Just as Jasper said, there are four clear crescent marks, an angry shade of red, from where Bella dug her nails into my back as I fucked her last night. Since we've been in Hawaii, we've done it every night, if not once in the day too. I'm seriously starting to think I might never be able to survive when we get home and can't share rooms anymore.
I'm pulled out of my musings by Jasper's snickering. I drop his phone on his chest and roll my eyes, unable to hide my smile.
"Fuck off Jazz" I chuckle.
"What?!" He laughs, "I'd be fucking proud if I were you" He shrugs.
I'll admit, I kind of am. I don't tell him that though.
"So...I'm guessing that's been happening most of the time we've been here?" He asks.
I bite my lip, hiding my smile as much as I can. I knew it would only be a certain amount of time before Jasper couldn't contain his desire for details any longer.
"Yep" I reply, purposefully leaving him hanging.
Five, four, three, two, one...
"Oh come on Ed! You're killing me here" He grumbles. I chuckle at how predictable he is before rolling onto my stomach and turning my head to look at him.
"What do you want to know?" I ask him.
It's always been like this. Jasper teases me about being a fucking pussy but he's more of a girl than Alice when it comes to gossip.
"Everything," He says excitedly.
"Okay well...we did it for the first time on graduation night," I tell him.
"Fuck, seriously, that was a while ago..." He comments. "Had you both like...decided?" He asks.
"No, we'd talked about it but nothing had happened," I tell him. He nods a little in understanding before he continues.
"So...what was it like?" He asks.
"It was..." I trail off, unable to describe it. "It was hands down the most...overwhelming experience of my life" I admit.
I wouldn't normally speak so frankly but there's no other way to describe it.
"What does it feel like?" Jasper asks, snapping me out of my memories.
"It's hot and really tight. You feel like you're never going to fit in." I admit, chuckling at how Jasper's cheeks turn pink.
"So, it's been going on a while then," He says, clearing his throat a little.
"Well, we did it twice that night but then hadn't done it again until we came here" I admit. Jasper nods a little.
"But since we've been here you've..." He trails off, not wanting to ask the question. I chuckle again before rolling my eyes.
"We've done it pretty much every day," I tell him. He nods a little, his head turning to look at the girls in the water. "Don't um...mention anything though" I quickly say.
"No course not" He nods.
"How about you and Alice?" I ask, swallowing the small amount of bile in my throat and trying to be interested in his relationship. His head snaps to look at me in surprise.
"You really want to know about that?" He asks, the shock evident in his voice as he pushes his sunglasses onto his head.
"Yeah" I shrug. I am genuinely interested in his relationship, I just have to ignore the fact the girl he's talking about is my sister.
"Things are going...well" He replies, stiffly.
"Just well?" I ask, trying to get him to loosen up a little.
"Really well" He eventually says with a small smile.
"And have you...?" I trail off, not wanting to have to actually say the words out loud.
"No!" Jasper cries, looking like his mother just asked him that question. "No...I mean...we've done some stuff" He shrugs, his cheeks flushing.
"Such as?" I ask, genuinely curious now. Jasper's silent, his ears turning pink. "Hands, mouths...more?" I suggest.
"Mouths" He blurts out before his eyes go wide and his cheeks flame even more. I stare at him for a moment before a chuckle bubbles up out of my chest. "Why are you laughing?!" He hisses at me.
"I'm sorry. It was the look on your face." I chuckle, covering my mouth and trying to rein my laughter in. Jasper rolls his eyes but chuckles a little too. "So...how was it?" I ask.
"It was...well...you know" He shrugs. I do know but I remain silent, waiting for him to speak. "Amazing," He says, his eyes looking into the middle distance.
"Yeah" I agree.
"I mean...I didn't know it could feel like that." He murmurs, lost in his thoughts. "It was so...wet," He says. I grimace a little, thinking about the fact that my sister's mouth has been on my best friend's dick.
Ewwwww.
I shake my head a little, ignoring the thought and trying to think of anything else.
"I think I love her" Jasper suddenly says. My head snaps to look at him and it's like he suddenly realises what he just said to me. His eyes meet mine and for a moment I can see that he really meant it before he looks a little worried about my reaction.
"Yeah?" I grin a little.
"Yeah" He whispers, his face lighting up as he smiles at me. We grin at each other having a small bromance moment before I chuckle.
"Who knew you were so fucking whipped?" I tease, lightening the mood. He rolls his eyes, shoving me in the chest and knocking me onto my back. I laugh hard at him, hearing him chuckle above me. "Have you told her?" I ask.
He shakes his head.
"Why not?" I ask.
"What if...she...you know...doesn't feel the same way?" He asks. I look over at the girls and it's like they sense our gaze on them because they both look at us, grinning.
"I think if that smile is anything to go by, she feels the same way," I tell him honestly.
"You think?" He asks quietly, smiling at my sister. She waves at him and he waves back.
It's so cute, I might get cavities.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Have you told Bella yet?" He suddenly asks.
"Yeah. A while ago." I admit.
"Were you...nervous?" He asks, biting his bottom lip and looking a little vulnerable.
"Yeah" I chuckle. "I thought I was going to throw up," I tell him honestly. He chuckles and looks over at me. We share a look before voices bring us out of our thoughts.
"What you guys whispering about?" I look up and see Bella and Alice standing in front of us.
"Oh you know, just guy stuff" I reply, winking at them both.
"Ew! Edward" Alice grimaces, plopping down on the towel next to Jasper. Bella giggles, taking the seat next to me.
"What have you two been talking about then?" I ask.
"Just girl stuff" Bella replies, winking at me. I chuckle at her before leaning over and giving her a quick kiss.
"Oh my god! Edward! What's on your back?!" Alice cries, leaning back to see better. I brace myself for when she realises they're nail marks. "Wait..are they..." Alice trails off.
Three, two, one...
"Ewww! Guys!" She cries, covering her eyes and squealing into her palms. Jasper and I laugh, Bella giggling beside me even though her cheeks are flaming.
"What can I say, Allie? I'm just that good" I tease. She squeals again, burying her head into Jasper's shoulder. He kisses the top of her head and I see just how much he cares about her from the gesture.
"Oh my god, I could have gone to the grave not knowing that," She says, standing from the towel. "I'm gonna go find Mom and Dad," She says, shivering slightly.
Jasper stands going to follow her. As she walks away I can't resist messing with her once more.
"Hey, Allie?" I say, making her turn to face me. As soon as her eyes meet mine, I slam my mouth to Bella's, pushing her back to lie on the blanket. I hear Bella squeak before giggling against my lips. I swipe my tongue against her bottom lip, chuckling when I hear my sister screaming.
"Oh my god! Fucking Edward?!"
"So kids, apparently there's a night market tonight!" Mom says as we're eating a late lunch at a little place on the beach front.
"That sounds cool," Alice says. Mom nods enthusiastically.
"I've never been to a night market," Bella says.
"They're quite cool. Lots of food and music and stuff" I tell her.
"That sounds good" Jasper nods.
"Well, why don't we have dinner out then?" Dad suggests. "We could find something at the market and check out the stalls. You might find a souvenir for your trip" He says.
We all nod in agreement.
"I can't believe it's almost time to go home" Alice laments, pushing her salad around her plate.
"I know," Bella says sadly.
"Have you enjoyed yourselves?" Mom asks, looking between Jasper and Bella.
"I've had a great time," Jasper says, his eyes immediately flashing to mine.
Oh, I know you have.
I smirk a little, biting the inside of my cheek to stop from smiling.
"Me too. It's been awesome!" Bella nods. I can't stop my sly grin then, that is until she kicks me hard under the table.
"OW!" I grunt.
"You okay son?" Dad asks, looking a little concerned.
"Just caught my knee on the table" I nod, giving Bella the stink eye. She just smiles at me innocently.
We finish our lunch before deciding to head back to the hotel to shower and change before going to the night market. I hold Bella's hand as we walk back along the beach to the hotel, watching the waves crash against the sand.
"What's going on in that mind of yours?" I hear her ask me. I turn to look at her before glancing at my parents as they walk a little way ahead of us. Alice and Jasper have dropped back, having their own private conversation.
"I was just thinking about how I'm going to survive not sharing a room with you when we get back" I admit. "I've been kind of spoilt for two weeks".
"I know what you mean. But we'll still hang out all the time." She says, leaning into my side. "We might just have to be a little more...creative...when it comes to bedroom stuff," She says with a wink.
I chuckle a little.
"Creative?" I question.
"Well, it might not be a king-size bed but your car is pretty spacious in the back," She says, grinning when she sees my eyes glaze over slightly. I'm immediately assaulted with images of Bella panting and writhing in my car.
"Deal" I nod, making her giggle.
When we get back to the room, I flop down on the bed, groaning.
"Oh god, this is so nice" I moan, feeling the soft mattress under my body. Bella giggles coming to lie next to me, moaning too.
"I didn't realise how much I ached from swimming," She says quietly.
"From swimming?" I chuckle. She looks up at me, rolling her eyes.
"I don't know why you're laughing Mr Back-Scratches," She says, rolling over and straddling my hips. I immediately feel myself harden in my pants. You'd have thought after all this time my body wouldn't react so desperately to her.
"I'll have you know, I'm very proud of those scratches," I say, lifting my hips slightly and rubbing against each other.
I have to admit, over the past week or so, Bella and I have definitely become more comfortable sexually. It's less wondering what she's thinking and if I'm doing it right and more laughing, teasing and flirting. It's fun and easy and so fucking addictive.
"Oh really?" She says, raising one eyebrow at me. I chuckle, nodding at her. "Well, maybe we can see if you can make me give you a few more," She says, her voice teasing.
That sounds like a fucking challenge to me.
I grin at her before grasping her hips firmly in my hands and rolling us over so that I'm on top. It's a move I discovered the other night and Bella seems to really fucking like it. She squeals, giggling before moaning as I slam my mouth against hers.
I groan as I rub my now rock-hard cock against her centre and feel her wrap her legs around my hips. I pull away from her mouth and lean up on my knees. My hands move frantically to her t-shirt, ripping it up her body and off before popping the button of her shorts. I shift out of the way, pulling them down her legs and throwing them over my shoulder.
When Bella's left in just her tiny pink bikini I drop my mouth to her neck, kissing and sucking on that spot behind her ear before moving my mouth down to the tops of her breasts. I slide my hand behind her back, pulling the strings of her bikini top and yanking the fabric away from her chest, sucking hard on her nipple.
"Oh fuck!" Bella cries out, her hands flying to my hair and holding my head to her chest.
I groan against her skin before moving to her other breast and then down her stomach to the top of her bikini bottoms. They're the type with strings tied on either side of her hips. I kiss along her abdomen as my hands pull the ties, loosening the fabric before pulling the fabric down, revealing her like a fucking prize.
I can't help the groan that leaves my mouth before I drop the bottoms to the floor and push her thighs apart. Bella's breathing has become laboured and I look up at her, my eyes meeting hers before I take one long lick of her pussy.
"Oh!" Bella moans, her head dropping back to the pillows behind her before I lick and suck and nip her wet flesh. I latch my lips to her clit, sucking gently on the small nub and hearing Bella's moans turn breathy and high-pitched.
I slide one hand underneath my body and slide one finger into her opening, loving how she hisses and her back arches at the feeling. I begin a fast pace, thrusting one finger in and out of her before adding a second.
"Oh my god, oh my god" Bella whimpers, her legs twitching on either side of my shoulders.
I move my mouth back to her clit before sucking hard and hearing Bella's breathing stop completely before she groans loudly, her back arching and her hand twisting painfully into my hair. I wince a little but keep my mouth there, prolonging her pleasure. Eventually, her hand loosens its death grip and her body drops back onto the bed, completely spent.
I move away from her before reaching behind me and yanking my t-shirt over my head. I drop the fabric before popping the button of my shorts and shoving them down and off, returning for my boxers a moment later. Once I'm naked I lean over, grabbing a condom from the box and tearing the packet open. I roll it down my length before lying between Bella's spread legs.
I slam my mouth to hers, my tongue tangling with hers before I blindly reach down, lining myself up with her entrance and pushing into her. Bella moans against my lips, her hands moving to my hair. I start at a slow pace, moving back and forth leisurely, breaking the kiss and looking at Bella, eye to eye.
"You okay?" I whisper. She nods and that's all I need to know.
I rest on my forearms before starting a fast pace, faster than I've ever fucked her before. Bella's eyes go wide in surprise before moans and groans begin to leave her mouth. I try to focus on my breathing and my rhythm and not on how good she feels, wanting to last as long as I can.
"Oh fuck...shit...so good...just like that..." She moans, making me feel lightheaded and out of control.
I reach back, grabbing her thigh and pulling her leg up and around my hips. Bella gasps at the change in angle but gets the idea and lifts her other leg to wrap around me. I grunt at the feeling as she pulls me deeper. I drop my head to her shoulder, groaning at the sensations, listening to Bella gasp and moan beneath me.
"Oh my god...urgh...Edward...fuck..." She continues to moan and pant. I begin to feel a fluttering around my cock and grin a little, knowing that she's getting close.
I lean up on my palms, giving me a better angle and thrust a bit harder, our skin slapping erotically. The sound mixes with my groans and Bella's whimpers before I lean back a little further, putting my weight on my knees rather than my hands and suddenly Bella gasps loudly.
"Oh fuck!" She cries out, her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. "Oh fuck, right there...right there" She pants, her back arching and her face looking pained. She clings to the muscles of my back and I can feel her nails digging into my flesh.
"Right there?" I grunt, feeling my orgasm beginning to approach like a fucking freight train.
Is this what they call the g-spot?
I feel the fluttering around my cock increase and Bella's noises become louder and more unchecked as I continue to fuck her hard and fast. I need her to cum so I rest on one hand and reach down with the other, rubbing her clit in quick circles.
"Holy. Fuck. URGH!" Bella screams, her entire body shaking as she cums hard. Her back arches and her eyes squeeze closed and her nails drag down my back as I continue to thrust into her hard, feeling her squeeze my cock tighter than she ever has before.
"Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck" I grunt, feeling my vision go blurry and my hearing go muffled as my orgasm hits me right in the gut.
I'm vaguely aware of Bella still crying out beneath me as my hips pump sporadically into hers as I empty myself into the condom. My arms give out and I collapse down on top of her, panting as if I've just run a fucking marathon. I can hear Bella whimpering as she continues to pulse and twitch around me, making me shudder and grunt in response.
"Oh my god," I moan, eventually managing to lift my head from her shoulder. I look down at Bella and she's looking at me like I've just grown a second head. "What?" I chuckle breathlessly. Bella twitches around me again as I move inside her as I laugh and the action makes me shudder a little.
"What...the fuck...was that?" She pants. I chuckle at her, shrugging in response before reaching down and grasping the base of the condom before pulling out of her. Bella grimaces slightly before I dispose of the condom and roll back on top of her, my now bare cock, nudging against her very wet centre.
"Did I find the magic spot?" I tease, kissing along her shoulder and up to her neck.
I feel like a fucking rockstar.
"Find it? I think you broke it!" She giggles breathlessly. I chuckle at her, feeling high off the fact that I managed to find some special spot inside of her, let alone that she actually screamed.
"What are you giggling over?" She asks, her voice by my ear as I kiss up her neck, tasting the salt on her body with my tongue.
"I am not giggling. Guys don't giggle" I reply and I can almost hear her eye roll. "You screamed," I tell her, unable to hide my grin. I feel her giggle beneath me.
"Do you think anyone heard?" She suddenly whispers sounding a little worried.
"I hope so" I reply honestly. Bella smacks my arm and I chuckle, lifting my head and capturing her lips in a kiss. She kisses me back before breaking away and pushing my hair out of my eyes.
"You're incorrigible." She grins at me. I wink at her, looking down at the beautiful girl beneath me. Even covered in a light sheen of sweat, with her hair sticking to the side of her face she's still the best thing I've ever laid eyes on.
"What were you talking about with Jasper earlier?" She asks me. I ponder what to tell her before deciding to just say the truth.
She's probably told Alice everything anyway...
And for some reason, I don't feel like secrets count when it's Bella.
"He was asking about...what we'd done," I tell her quietly, looking down at her.
"Oh, and what did you say?" She asks, her eyes full of mischief.
"I told him we'd had sex," I reply. "A lot."
"I assumed as much" She admits. "What did he say?" She asks.
"He was more..curious than anything else." I shrug.
"Have he and Alice...?" She asks.
"No, apparently not," I reply.
"Alice didn't mention it, so I assumed not" She nods. We're silent for a moment, lost in our thoughts before I speak again.
"He said he loves her," I say quietly. Bella's eyes flash to mine before a soft smile crosses her face.
"Awwwwwww" She coos.
"Oh my god," I chuckle, dropping my head to her shoulder and rolling my eyes.
"What?!" She giggles.
"You're such a girl" I chuckle.
"I am a girl in case you hadn't noticed" She argues.
"Oh, I noticed" I tease, my eyes found hers once more as I grind against her hip a little, already getting hard again. She rolls her eyes at me but the blush on her cheeks doesn't escape my notice.
"I need to have a shower. We're going to have to meet the others soon" She says. I nod before rolling off of her and letting her get up from the bed.
She walks towards the bathroom her eyes dropping down my naked body as I lie on my back in the centre of the mattress. I smirk at her checking me out before she flips me off with a giggle, disappearing into the bathroom.
I lie there, listening to the water turn on in the bathroom as Bella showers. I absentmindedly run my hand down my stomach, watching the early evening shadows dance on the ceiling above me.
I like being able to tell Bella stuff. It's like we're in cahoots.
A few moments later, I hear the water turn off before Bella reappears wrapped in a fluffy towel.
"All yours," She says with a smile.
I can't help but chuckle when I see a towel wrapped around her head. She quirks her eyebrow at me as I swing my legs off the bed and give her a quick kiss on the side of the head.
"You're cute," I tell her before walking past her.
"Oh my god! Edward!" She cries and I turn around quickly, startled.
"What?" I ask.
"Your back!" She says, her hand going to her mouth.
"What about it?" I ask, walking into the bathroom and turning to look at my back in the mirror. I immediately see what caught her attention. Down my back are ten red scratches where Bella dragged her nails as she came. A couple have even drawn blood.
"I'm so sorry" She whispers, standing in the doorway of the bedroom and looking horrified.
"Don't be" I reply, turning to face her. "I'm pretty proud of them actually" I wink before closing the door on her surprised face.
I shower quickly, hissing a little when the hot water touches the scratches on my back. When I climb out, I towel off before walking back into the bedroom. Bella's sitting on the side of the bed, putting her earrings in.
"I feel so bad about your back," She says quietly, her face sad.
"Baby" I chuckle. "I'm serious. It's fine, they don't even hurt. Anyway, think of them as battle scars" I tease her.
She rolls her eyes, throwing a pillow at my head. I dodge it easily, chuckling before I pull on some clothes and my shoes. When I'm ready I turn to take her hand, grabbing the room key as we leave to meet the others.
Downstairs, we find my parents, Alice and Jasper waiting in the lobby. They smile when they see us.
"Ready to go kids?" Dad asks.
We all nod before heading out of the hotel and towards the beachfront. Since this afternoon an entire market has been set up, filled with stalls decorated in coloured lights and flags. I can hear music and smell barbeque cooking. It makes my mouth water.
It seems like sex in the afternoon gives you a hell of an appetite.
We walk the short distance before Mom and Dad hand us each twenty dollars and say that we'll meet in an hour for something to eat. We all agree before wandering off in different directions. Alice and Bella walk together, looking at some of the stalls as Jasper and I follow behind.
"So...good nap?" He asks. I look over at him and see him trying not to smile.
"What's that smile for?" I ask him.
"Oh, nothing." He shrugs, offering me a piece of gum. I take one, popping it in my mouth. "Just who knew Bella was such a screamer?" He teases.
I inhale in surprise, inhaling my gum at the same time and choking on the spearmint goodness in the process. Jasper hits me on the back, dislodging the gum before Bella comes running up to me.
"Are you okay?" She asks, her eyes full of concern.
I can't tell her.
She'd be so embarrassed.
Cahoots or no cahoots.
"Yeah" I croak, "Just a piece of gum went down the wrong way" I reply, trying to smile. She nods a little.
"Are you sure?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'm good." I nod. She nods again before walking back over to Alice and looking at some jewellery stand. "What are you trying to do? Kill me?!" I hiss at Jasper.
He chuckles at me, rolling his eyes.
"Did Alice hear?" I ask him.
"No, she was showering. It was just me that was privy to your vocal rendezvous" He says, looking at me pointedly.
"Sorry," I say sheepishly.
"Actually, I was quite impressed," Jasper says. I look over at him with wide eyes and he turns a little pink. "What? I didn't want to be in there. I was just...you know...impressed" He shrugs.
I nod a little before a smile creeps across my face at the same time he grins at me. Then we're both laughing, hard.
"Oh my god. We can never tell Bella. She'd be so embarrassed" I tell him seriously, trying not to chuckle.
"Don't worry. Your screaming banshee is safe with me" Jasper says good-naturedly. "But seriously...what the fuck were you doing to her?" He chuckles. "It sounded like you were trying to murder her".
I feel my cheeks burn at the comment.
"Um...I guess I just...hit the right spot" I shrug, feeling my entire body flush at the admission.
"You're telling me" He chuckles.
As we approach the girls, we drop the conversation before Alice says she wants to show Jasper something at one of the other stalls. Bella takes my hand as we head further down the beach, looking at some of the different sellers.
"Ooo look, fake tattoos!" Bella says, pointing to one stall doing henna tattoos.
"Do you want one?" I ask her chuckling.
"I've always kind of fancied a tattoo, but would never be brave enough to get a real one," She says. "Shall we?" She asks.
"If you want" I shrug.
She grins before heading over to the stall and speaking to the woman. I stand next to her as Bella chooses a henna tattoo from the selection available. Eventually, she settles on one but tells me I can't look until later. My interest is immediately piqued but I do as she asks and look away at the sea in the distance, avoiding looking at Bella until I feel her tap on my shoulder.
"All done" She grins.
"Let's see then," I say.
"I can't really show you...here" She says, grinning at me. I feel all the blood drain to my groin at the thought of where it might be. It can't be anywhere that private as she had it done on the fucking beach.
"You going to get one?" She asks.
"Okay" I grin before moving to the woman on the stall. She shows me the options before I see the perfect one. I tell her what I want before she takes me into a little pop-up tent. I'm in there for about five minutes before I come back out to meet Bella.
"What did you get?" She asks excitedly.
"I can't really show you...here" I say, repeating her words back to her. She raises an eyebrow at me before giggling, rolling her eyes.
"I guess we should go find the others," She says. I nod before taking her hand in mine and wandering back towards our meeting spot.
When we get there, we find Mom and Dad fairly easily, Alice and Jasper catching up with us a few minutes later.
"Everyone hungry?" Dad asks, rubbing his hands together.
"Starving!" I groan.
"Well, there's a pretty good-looking barbecue place just over there. Everyone happy with that?" He asks. We all nod before following him down the beach.
The place we find seems to offer beef, pork, ribs and even a few skewers. It all smells amazing and we make our choices before being handed our food and finding somewhere to perch and eat. Mom and Dad sit on a wall near the beach while the four of us sit on the sand, resting our throwaway plates on our knees.
"This is so sweet" Alice groans, spooning some beef into her mouth.
"It really is" Jasper agrees.
"It's so good" Bella moans and I glance at Jasper who seems to be trying not to laugh. I bite the inside of my cheek to hide my smile.
"Is yours good Edward?" Mom asks.
"It's great" I reply.
"Hit the spot did it?" Jasper says quietly, his voice full of mirth. I give him the eye before biting my lip to stop my laugh from escaping.
We eat our food, talking and joking easily before Jasper and Alice take our trash, throwing it away before we all stand again.
"So, do you want to do your own thing and go back to the hotel when you're ready?" Dad asks.
"Sure" We nod.
"Okay, well just text us to let us know you're back safely," Mom says.
"If we don't bump into you, sleep well kids," Dad says, waving at us before grabbing Mom's hand and walking away. We wave at them before the four of us wander further down the beach.
We take in a few more stalls, buying a couple of souvenir things before we find an ice cream stall. We buy two to share, Alice and Jasper choosing pina colada and litchee while Bella and I choose watermelon and guava.
As we stroll, we eat our ice cream, talking shit and teasing each other until we come across some live music. We stand watching the band play for a while before a few people start to dance right there on the sidewalk. I smile a little, watching the couples moving in front of us.
"Come on Bella!" Alice says, before grabbing Bella's hand and dragging her into the crowd and dancing around with her.
Bella laughs before swaying her hips in time with the music. I watch as she raises her hands above her head, turning in a circle before taking Alice's hands and twirling each other around, both of them laughing hard. Eventually, Alice comes running over, grabbing Jasper's hand and dragging him into the dance too. I chuckle at how horrified he looks before Bella does the same to me and I'm sure my face looks like a mirror image.
"Come on baby, move those snake hips!" Bella teases, wrapping her arms around my neck. I chuckle at her before moving us in a slow circle, dancing with her under the twinkling lights.
We continue to dance for a while before my eyes glance over at Jasper. He seems to be speaking lowly, his eyes boring into Alice's. He looks like he's going to throw up.
Wait...is he...
Suddenly Alice says something before throwing her arms around his neck and slamming her mouth to his. I look away, not wanting to creep on my sister's makeout session before flicking my eyes back a moment later. Jasper is grinning ear to ear before Alice hugs him tightly and his eyes meet mine.
"You okay?" My eyes say.
"Perfect" His reply. I wink at him before looking down at Bella. She's watching me with a raised eyebrow and I can't help but chuckle at her face.
"You checking someone out Cullen?" She teases.
"Only Jasper" I answer honestly. She looks momentarily confused. "I think he just told Alice he loves her" I whisper.
Bella's eyes shine into mine and she squeals quietly, thrilled for our friends and in turn making me fall in love with her all over again.
"I love you," I tell her.
"I love you too" She replies.
We dance for a few more minutes before Alice comes over and says her feet are starting to hurt. Bella agrees so we decide to head back to the hotel. The girls walk ahead of us, in deep discussion, most likely about what just took place on the dance floor.
"So...you good?" I ask Jasper.
"Yeah. I'm great" He replies. I look over at him and his eyes are trained on the pixie in front of him, a grin on his face and that's all I need to know.
When we get back to the hotel, I text my parents before saying goodnight to Alice and Jasper. They disappear into their room before I hold our room door open for Bella to step inside. As the heavy door closes behind us, Bella groans, kicking her shoes off.
"My feet are killing me!" She says, dropping onto the bed with a giggle. "Your sister is very happy," She says.
"So is Jasper," I tell her. She grins at me and for a moment I revel in the fact that we have these kinds of conversations. Like even a secret isn't really secret from each other.
"Come here," She says quietly.
I walk towards her, kicking off my shoes and crawling onto the bed, hovering over her. My hands go to her waist as I settle between her spread legs and her hands go to my hair.
"Want to see my tattoo?" She whispers her mouth a hair's breadth from mine. I nod enthusiastically before she pushes against my chest lightly. I move to my knees watching as she pulls her dress over her head, leaving her in just her underwear.
My eyes drop down her body, taking in her lace-clad breasts, then her smooth stomach before my eyes notice a golden tattoo. It's on her hip, going into the crease of her leg. I lean forward so that I can see the glinting design better. I feel my heart stutter when I see it. In soft calligraphy is the name Edward with an infinity symbol underneath it. I slowly trace my finger over the tattoo, tracing its outline on her skin.
"I know it will fade but...the sentiment won't" She whispers.
I feel like my senses are overwhelmed, my heart is beating hard under my ribs and I feel a lump in the back of my throat and it's like I can't catch my breath. My eyes flash to hers before my mouth is suddenly slamming into hers in a heated kiss. Bella remains motionless for a moment, taken by surprise, before returning my kiss with enthusiasm.
I feel her hands go to my hair, holding me tightly against her before my hands are sliding under her back. I struggle with the clasp of her bra before eventually getting it undone and ripping it from her body. My mouth immediately drops to her breast before I move down her body, slipping my fingers under the thin fabric of her panties. I yank them down her legs, dragging her towards me slightly in my haste.
Bella gasps before suddenly sitting up and pushing on my shoulders, shoving me onto my back. I roll over so that I'm lying beneath her as she straddles my hips. My breathing is laboured and I feel like I'm feeling everything all at once.
Bella's hands go to the bottom of my t-shirt, yanking it up and over my head. I arch my back to help her before she freezes, her hands on the button of my shorts. I watch her take in the henna tattoo on my chest, directly over my heart. She leans forward, reading her name, two swan wings flying off the tail of the 'a'. I see her eyes turn glassy before her gaze meets mine again.
"I mean it," I tell her, my voice gritty and raw. "You own it. It's yours. Always" I say, holding her hand over the tattoo and directly over my heart.
She slams her mouth to mine, kissing me hard, pouring all of her emotion into the kiss before she moves back, yanking my shorts down my legs, followed by my boxers. She reaches over to the nightstand, grabbing a condom and handing it to me before kissing me hard once more.
I fumble with the packet, blindly tearing it open as she continues to assault my mouth before I have to pull away to fix it to myself. Once it's on, Bella shuffles up my hips before lowering down onto me, her hands resting on my chest and directly over the tattoo.
We both moan when her ass comes to rest on my thighs before my hands move to her hips, my thumb rubbing over her henna. She moans, lifting her hips up and down over me, her eyes burning into mine.
"I love you, I love you, I love you..." She breathes with every pass of her hips. I groan at the feeling and her words before I sit up, wrapping my arms around her waist, holding her close to me.
We've never been like this before, this desperate, this close, this together. We move together, breathe together, moan together, ache together. I've never felt more alive or closer to dying than right now. We move like that for a long time and it's wonderful and agonizing at the same time.
"I'm getting close" Bella moans a while later, her hands clinging to my shoulders as I cup her face with one hand and her ass with the other. I groan in response, nodding.
"I know," I pant, "I can feel you."
"I want you to cum with me" She whispers, a small frown on her face as she concentrates on chasing her high. Her words make my already rapidly approaching orgasm fly up my spine. I nod feverishly, wetting my bottom lip with my tongue and desperately trying to suck in some much-needed air.
"I love you" I grunt, my eyes meeting hers just before her back arches and she cries out as her orgasm hits her. The feel of her tightening around me pulls me over the edge and I groan, clinging tightly to her waist and burying my face in her neck as I pant hard.
I feel Bella shake above me, before she trails her hands down my chest, her fingers tracing the outline of the tattoo on my chest. When I finally come back down from my high, I drop kisses along her shoulder and up her neck before my mouth finds hers once more.
"Wow," She giggles.
"I know" I chuckle, feeling like my heart might never beat normally again. She pushes the hair from my face before dropping kisses across my cheeks and nose, making me chuckle again.
"I do love you," She tells me.
"I love you too" I whisper.
Even though I really don't want to, I eventually move her off of me so that I can dispose of the condom. Then, I pull her into my chest, cuddling her close. I can see her pulse point jumping with her overactive heart and trace it gently.
"What are you thinking about?" I ask her.
"That I don't want this to ever end," She says quietly.
"What? Hawaii?" I question.
"No, just this," She says, squeezing her arms around me.
"It won't," I tell her confidently. "I'm not that easy to get rid of," I tell her, "You should ask Alice."
Bella giggles before tilting her head to look up at me.
"I know," She says with a grin.
I kiss her softly before running my hands through her hair, hearing her sigh and relax into my body, her breathing eventually evening out. In the moonlight, I look down and see the glint of my tattoo. My eyes begin to droop and I feel myself succumbing to sleep. My last thought before I fall into oblivion is one word, shining gold and bright behind my closed eyes.
Bella...
