Chapter Summary: The Cullens take a long weekend out of town, leaving Edward and Bella home alone.
This chapter has sexual content.
Bella was sitting on the couch at Cullen's scrolling through the streaming services to find a movie for her and Edward to watch. Finally, she settled on a classic. The African Queen is funny and romantic. This movie felt like it fit the mood. She had been looking forward to spending the evening with him, with a fire in the fireplace, cuddling up close while the cold rain fell.
"I'm glad Charlie let you stay the night tonight" Edward called from the kitchen as he fixed Bella some popcorn and a soda.
"Well, I did lie a little". Bella had told Charlie that he was staying with Alice tonight. Alice and Bella had become very close over the past few months. She was sweet and kind like Edward. She was a person Bella felt comfortable asking questions to and learning more about vampires without having to go to Edward. He never wanted to talk about it and Bella felt she needed to know some things about the Cullens and their way of life. Alice was an endless resource and she had become a true friend. Charlie wasn't crazy about Bella spending the night with Alice because Edward lived there too. He was happy she had made a friend though, it had taken a lot of convincing and promising that Carlisle and Esme will be there the whole time. In the end, Charlie agreed.
"We will never tell him that the family went to Alaska for Thanksgiving weekend." He said winking at Bella as he came into the room with her snacks.
Edward sat down beside her and put her popcorn and drink on the table.
"What are we watching?
"The African Queen".
Edward smiled because it's one of his favorites. Bella started the movie as he dimmed the lights and pulled a blanket off the back of the couch. He wanted to be close to her, but didn't want her to be cold. He laid his arm lightly across her shoulders. She reached up and wound her fingers through his while snuggling against his chest.
Edward kissed the top of Bella's head and pulled her a little closer to him. She leaned her head back to kiss his lips. He met them with a little more force than intended. He had been wanting this time alone with her. When they were at his house his family wanted to spend time with her. They were getting to know her more and could see why Edward loved her so much. Carlisle and Esme were thrilled to see him so happy. Charlie was another matter. While he trusted Edward to a point, he was a seventeen-year-old boy. Charlie kept a close watch on them when he came over and there was always the fear of him catching them together when Edward spent the night with Bella.
He was excited when she met his force with hers. She opened her mouth to him. The movie was soon forgotten. Edward pulled his arm from her shoulders and laid her down on the couch. Carefully he shifted to be on top of her. First he kissed her lips, then her neck before moving down to her shoulders.
Bella softly moaned. She ran her fingers through his hair and began nipping at his ear. Edward slid his hand under her shirt and into the cup of her bra. He caressed her breast while she arched her back to his touch.
Bella was lost in the feeling of his hands on her body, when she placed her hands on Edward's face, pulling him down to kiss him. She ran her tongue across his bottom lip and he let out a growl so deep in his chest she felt the rumble. She shifted under him needing to feel some friction.
"Bella" Edward whispered in her ear.
"Yes," she panted.
"Let's go up to my room," he said as he lifted his weight from her.
He stood up and offered her his hand. Her head was spinning and she was glad he was there to steady her. Once she was on her feet, he lifted her bridal style and ran up the stairs with vampire speed. He placed her back on her feet at the top of the stairs. Taking her by the hand again he led her to the bedroom.
When she entered his bedroom for the first time, it was exactly what she expected. One wall was floor-to-ceiling windows covered with heavy drapes. On the opposite wall were floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with music. In the center of the back wall was his bed. Bella turned to face Edward, she threw her arms around his neck and crashed her mouth into his. He gave into her will completely as she walked him back trapping him against the wall. She reached between them to unbuckle his belt and unbuttoned his jeans pushing them slightly off his hips. She went to her knees in front of him.
"Bella," he protested.
She looked him in the eye and said softly. "If you want me to stop I will. You showed me that respect and I will do the same, but if not, close your eyes and relax." Bella said with one eyebrow cocked. Edward leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
She steadied herself with one hand on the wall, with the other she took his erection. He sighed at her warm touch. She kept her eyes on him and his eyes were still closed. He was breathing in through his nose and out his mouth. His hands were loose fists at his side. Bella hoped he would be able to trust himself enough to let her take control. She put him in her mouth moving up and down as she worked him over. He furrowed his brow and she heard moans escaping his lips. She lapped and whirled her tongue around him.
Edward was trying his hardest to stay in the moment with her to not get distracted by his thoughts, but the words played over and over in his mind. "You promised to never hurt her, you love her, she trusts you with her whole heart." He pushed the thoughts back, while running his hands through her hair. "Be present with her, Edward," he told himself. He began to feel the venom flood his mouth.
She noticed his chest was rising and falling faster with her every movement. She looked up to his face and sensing he was close. She picked up her pace and began to vary her pressure. He pulled back from her as his orgasm peaked. He breathed her name as he found his release. When he was finished, Bella fell back on her elbows, knees bent. She was finally able to give back some of the pleasure he had given her. Edward took a deep breath and joined her on the floor crawling between her legs. He leaned over her and met her mouth with his in a slow passionate kiss. His tongue found hers as he lifted her arms above her head and pulled off her top. He then reached behind her as she sat up slightly. He unhooked her bra, took it off her, and tossed it with dramatic flair as she giggled beneath him. His beautiful Bella.
He stared deep into her eyes "I love you."
"I love you too."
He remembered the last time they were together like this and asked, "Would you like me to turn off the lights?"
"No" she breathed.
He then kissed her from her mouth down her neck. The feeling of her pulse drove him mad. He had to focus and to be careful. Her life depended on it. He then slowly moved down to her collar bones, leaving a trail of kisses between her breasts. She was moaning quietly while running her hands through his hair. He continued down her stomach looking up at her, her eyes were closed and her head back. He was nervous. He had never done this before and the last time had not gone well. He kept his eyes on her watching for any sign that she did not want this. He slowly pulled her panties down and threw them to the side.
Bella's heart pounded in her chest as he kissed her. He started at her knees, like last time. Back and forth he kissed and nipped at her thighs. She opened her legs wider to him as he looked her in the eye one last time. She nodded slowly then laid her head back and gave into him completely. His cool fingers felt like a relief, as he touched her. One finger then two, he listened to her moan, while her hips moved in rhythm with him. He then laid down between her thighs. She felt his cold breath and inhaled sharply. She had never felt anything like this before. Edward gently but firmly moved his tongue on her. Swirling and licking all the right places. Bella's excitement began to build. He kept an eye on her as she twisted around and grabbed at the carpet. Her breath quickened, then began to moan louder. Edward spurred on by her enjoyment moved faster, then all at once, she let out a primal scream of pleasure as she came.
As she enjoyed the afterglow, Edward laid down beside her. He kissed her forehead.
"Was that okay?" he asked.
"Very much so."
Bella rolled to her side to put her head on his chest. This was her favorite place. She was safe here with him. She released a deep sigh of contentment as he traced small circles on her back. They stayed together on the floor until she started to fall asleep.
"Bella," he whispered in her ear. "Let's move to the bed. You will sleep better." She slowly got up as Edward turned the bed down for her and shut off the lights.
Bella woke up later that night thirsty and disoriented. It took her a moment to realize where she was.
"Are you okay?" Edward asked softly.
"Yes, just thirsty," she answered. She left the warm bed and went down the hall to the bathroom. She cupped her hand under the water faucet and drank handfuls of water until she was satisfied. She walked back to Edward's room and got into bed, snuggling up next to him. She ran her hand down his chest and stomach. When she got to the top of his boxers she slipped her hand in and stopped when she felt how hard he was.
"Edward!" She whisper shouted into the dark.
"Go to sleep Bella." He said with a false warning in his voice. He wanted her. He always wanted her, but she needed her rest.
"No," she spoke a little louder, defiance in her voice. Taking him into her hand.
"Alright," he replied playfully. "Now you are asking for it." He rolled on top of her, then began kissing and tickling her. She flailed around as she giggled and screamed.
"Edward, stop, stop," she yelled laughing trying to catch her breath. He stopped to let her breathe. Bella loved when he could just be with her. No worrying about hurting her or losing control. Just them together having fun. She lived for these moments.
He touched her face, running his thumb across her cheekbone.
"Do you promise me you will sleep late in the morning?" He asked her.
"I promise," she replied sweetly.
He kissed her deeply, pulled her panties to the side and pushed inside her gently.
When Bella woke up the next morning Edward was gone from his bed. She stretched and got up. It was chilly this morning. She put on her pajama bottoms and grabbed one of Edward's sweatshirts from his desk chair. As she ventured downstairs she smelled coffee. "God bless him," she thought out loud as entered the kitchen. Edward was standing among four plates stacked high with pancakes. He turned around and beamed at her.
"Good morning pretty girl". He said smiling. His eyes had a twinkle that Bella couldn't help but smile at.
"Good morning," she said as she filled her coffee mug. At first, she didn't think much about the breakfast spread before her, sure thirty-eight pancakes were a bit much but, then it dawned on her. He went out and got all of this for her. The coffee, the groceries, and even all the pans and plates were a thought-out plan. She sat her cup down and threw her arms around him.
"Thanks for all of this." She murmured into his chest trying not to cry.
"You're very welcome," he said as he hugged her back. "There are perks to having a boyfriend that never sleeps," he said, grinning.
Bella sat down at the table, before putting two pancakes and some bacon on her plate. As Bella ate, she thought back on last night, about what had happened when she had gotten up last night for a drink of water. Yes, there were perks to having a boyfriend that didn't sleep.
