The Time We Were Walked In On
It's been two weeks since Bella's thirtieth birthday and I'm still flying high from the evening. When I first started planning her party, I wanted to organise something special, something that would be meaningful to her. I knew she was having a bit of a mid-life crisis about leaving her twenties so I wanted to show her just how special she was and how many incredible memories we've all shared together over the years. I had spent most of the weekend getting everything prepared, having the photos printed, hanging up the string lights and collecting the cake but when the time came to actually show her my efforts, I felt a little worried it would be too much. When I saw her face though, I knew I had nothing to worry about.
Speaking of mid-life crises, I will never understand Bella thinking she's unattractive or that I would somehow go off of her. She is hands-down the most beautiful woman I've seen. Yes, she might not be what you would call 'supermodel' hot, but she's classically beautiful. She's one of those women that walks in a room and every man turns his head to look at her, just for a moment. She looks even more beautiful wearing the ring I bought her.
I bought the ring a few weeks before, after going out for lunch with my parents. We had wandered around the small side streets of Seattle when we'd passed this small jeweller. In the store window was the ring and as soon as I saw it I knew it was Bella. I went back the following day, purchasing the ring before hiding it in my dresser. Even though I knew she would like it as a piece of jewellery, when it actually came time to give it to her, I was so fucking nervous.
I knew she was panicking the second her wide eyes landed on the velvet ring box and I knew she would immediately assume I was proposing. When she tried to convince me that she wasn't having a major meltdown in that high-pitched voice I almost laughed. But then, she looked at me with those big brown eyes, filled with unshed tears and I fell in love with her all over again.
It's Saturday morning and I'm lying in bed, Bella by my side, watching the shadows from the trees outside dancing on the wall. Suddenly, Bella moans a little, rolling over onto her back. I look over at her and watch as her eyes flutter open, meeting mine.
"Morning" I whisper, smiling down at her.
"Morning" She replies, her voice gritty from sleep. I roll onto my side, bringing my face close to hers.
"I love you like this," I say quietly.
"Like what?" She asks, her eyes flicking between mine as she blinks the sleep away.
"First thing in the morning when your hair is all wild and your cheeks are pink and you're all warm and soft," I tell her, wrapping my arm around her waist and nuzzling my face into the side of her neck, making her giggle.
"Why do you like that?" She asks.
"Because no one else gets to see you like this" I explain. She grins at me.
"I like you in the mornings too" She whispers.
"Oh yeah? Why?" I ask, raising one eyebrow at her.
"You're all warm and cuddly and your hair is bed-head hot" She giggles. I chuckle with her before kissing the tip of her nose.
"What do you want to do today?" I ask her.
"I don't know. Want to go out somewhere?" She asks.
"Sure. How about we go out for lunch? We could head to that shopping area you like" I suggest. She nods a little.
"That sounds perfect." She smiles.
"But first..." I whisper before rolling on top of her, making her giggle. My mouth meets hers, our lips moving together in a sensual kiss. Bella sighs against my lips, her hands going to my hair as mine slide up her body and under her back, making me completely surround her. She lets out a small moan when my hard cock grinds against her cotton-covered panties.
I move my mouth from hers to her neck, sucking gently on that sensitive area just behind her ear. Bella moans before I move further down her neck, leaving a trail of kisses, and along her collarbone. As I do, I move my hands from her back around to the front of her nightshirt. I pop the buttons of her shirt, kissing every inch of exposed skin. When the shirt is undone, I push the fabric aside, kissing over the swell of her breast before attaching my mouth to her nipple.
"Oh!" Bella moans, her eyes closing and her head tilting back. I lick and suck before moving to her other breast, cupping the other in my hand. Bella continually runs her fingers through my hair and I groan quietly at the feeling.
I move from her breasts down to her stomach, kissing and licking the soft flesh before I reach the top of her panties. I slip my fingers under the fabric before pulling them down, Bella lifting her hips so that I can slide them over her ass. Once they're off, I throw them behind me before settling back on my stomach, my hands holding her hips tightly.
I can hear Bella's breathing increasing as I kiss along the top of her abdomen and over to her hips. I can smell her heavy in the air as I move my mouth down to her thighs, gently pushing her legs apart. I groan quietly when I see Bella all wet and waiting for me. I turn my head, kissing and sucking on the sensitive skin of her inner thigh before Bella lets out a frustrated whimper and I feel her trying to lift her hips under my grasp.
"Baby..." She sighs quietly, her dark eyes meeting mine as she twists the bedsheets in her fingers. I keep my eyes on hers as I slowly lean forward before taking a long lick up her pussy, hearing her gasp above me.
My eyes close of their own accord before I lean in, swiping my tongue between her folds. I hear Bella breathing heavily and moaning above me as I slowly bring her higher. I move my mouth higher, flicking my tongue slowly over her clit, hearing Bella gasp loudly.
"Oh fuck" She whispers, one of her hands going to my head, her fingers gripping my hair. I lean back, blowing lightly on her over-heated flesh before returning to her clit, sucking gently on the small nub. Bella gasps and moans, her back arching under my ministrations. I keep my mouth there until I hear her whimper quietly before removing my mouth and beginning to swipe my tongue through her folds again.
I continue licking her for a long time, bringing her right to the edge before removing my mouth and bringing her back down. Eventually, Bella's moans and groans become frustrated and I hear her huff and whimper as I remove my mouth once again from her clit.
"Fuck baby...please..." She begs, her head lifting to look at mine.
"What?" I ask her quietly, moving my mouth away from her again.
"Please make me cum..." She whimpers.
"I've got you baby" I whisper before bringing my mouth back to her pussy. I don't increase my pace or the pressure but this time when she's on the edge, I don't move away like before. I keep my mouth fused to her clit, flicking my tongue quickly over the small bundle of nerves.
"Oh shit...just like that...so good" Bella whimpers, her moans becoming more high-pitched and breathy. "Oh! I'm gonna cum..." She whispers, her breathing coming out in harsh pants. I groan at her words before sucking hard on her clit.
"Ohhhhh!" Bella moans, her back arching and her legs slamming closed around my shoulders. I keep my mouth fused to her body, holding her as still as I can. When I hear her begin to whimper at the sensitivity, I pull my mouth away. I look up at her and see her eyes are closed, a small frown on her face as she breathes heavily.
"Fuck" She whispers. I chuckle at her before moving further up the bed until our heads are in line. Her eyes flutter open to meet mine. We lie there in silence for a moment or two before Bella leans up, pressing her lips to my own. I kiss her back and then suddenly everything speeds up. Bella kisses me desperately while pushing against my shoulders, rolling me onto my back.
Once I'm lying on my back, Bella straddles my hips, leaning over to the nightstand and grabbing a condom. I get the picture and lift my hips, shoving my boxers down as far as I can reach, which in this position is about mid-thigh. Before I can get them down any further, Bella is shoving my hands out of the way and rolling the condom down my hard cock. She shuffles above me before sinking down onto me slowly, drawing a deep groan from my mouth.
Bella moves over me, starting a fast pace and making me grunt every time her hips meet mine. In this position and with my boxers wrapped around my thighs, I can't move at all, putting me completely at her mercy.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck" I grunt feeling a tingle of an orgasm at the base of my spine. I force my eyes open and look up at Bella. She looks so fucking hot. Her hair hanging down her back, her cheeks flushed, her breasts jiggling with her movements, the sound of her wet flesh meeting my hard cock.
"I want you to cum" She moans, her eyes meeting mine. I groan in response, unable to form words at this point. I reach up grabbing her hips and moving her faster over me. I tilt my head back, letting out harsh pants into the room. I'm right on the edge, listening to Bella moan and whimper above me when she suddenly drags her nails down my chest sending me flying over the edge.
"Fuuuuck" I groan, cumming hard before my body collapses against the mattress. It's only when I can finally open my eyes again that I realise Bella didn't cum. "Fuck baby, sorry" I whisper, my hands moving to her hips again to help her get off.
"No, no, no" Bella replies breathlessly, reaching out and stopping my movements. "That was for you," She says before climbing off of me, dropping a soft kiss on my lips.
I remove the condom and dispose of it in the trash can next to the bed before rolling onto my side, and looking at her..
"I love you," I tell her quietly.
"I love you too" She replies with a soft smile before her stomach growls loudly "But I'd love you more if you fed me" She giggles. I chuckle in reply before nodding and swinging my legs out of the bed. I head over to my dresser, digging out a pair of jeans and a thin sweater before making my way into the kitchen. I open the pantry, looking at our options.
"Fancy eggs?" I call out.
"Sure" She replies, shuffling around in my room.
I quickly grab the ingredients before setting to work. Within a few minutes, I'm plating up eggs on toast just as Bella walking out of my room fully dressed. We spend the next thirty minutes eating our food before I suggest we catch a cab to the shopping district that Bella likes. We pull on our shoes, Bella grabbing her bag before we leave the apartment.
I lock up before heading down in the lift to the lobby and out onto the street. There's a definite nip in the air and I see Bella pull her jacket around her as I stick my arm out, hailing a cab. As soon as a car stops I open the door, waiting for Bella to climb into the backseat before sliding in after her.
The drive to the shopping district is short and before long we're climbing out of the cab and walking along hand in hand. We browse a few shop windows before Bella begins eyeing a clothing store.
"Want to go in?" I ask her. She grins up at me before we push the door open, wandering into the store.
The racks are lined with women's clothes and I dutifully follow behind Bella as she hunts around the various items. After a while, I get a little bored so bring out my phone, and checking Instagram.
"I'm going to go try these on," Bella says, making me raise my head to look at her. She has a few things hanging over her arm.
"I'll come with you" I reply before following her through the store to the dressing rooms at the back. I find a little stool to perch on while Bella disappears into the cubicle to try on her items. A few minutes later, I hear the door opening and Bella comes out in a yellow blouse.
"That's nice," I tell her.
"You think?" She asks, turning and looking at herself in the full-length mirror.
"It's very colourful" I nod. Her eyes meet mine in the reflection before she smiles a little. "What?" I ask a grin crossing my face.
"You're just very cute" She says, booping me on the nose as she heads back into the cubicle. I chuckle quietly, waiting for her to try on the next item.
When she comes out again, she's wearing a pair of black pants that hug her ass in all the right ways.
"I like them," I tell her.
"Yeah?" She says, examining herself in the mirror.
"Oh yeah," I reply, wiggling my eyebrows at her reflection and making her laugh. She rolls her eyes at me before turning and heading back into the dressing room.
About twenty minutes later, Bella comes out in her original clothes, her choices hanging over her arm. We make our way to the checkout, the woman on the register packing up her choices. Bella's just about to hand over her card when I beat her to it.
"What are you doing?" She asks me as I enter my pin number.
"My treat," I say quietly, throwing her a wink.
"Edward!" She says but I cut her off by smiling at the cashier and taking her bags. I grab Bella's hand before dragging her out of the store and back onto the street.
"You shouldn't have bought all that" She reprimands me.
"I wanted to and it's my money so I can do what I want" I reply, sticking my tongue out at her. She rolls her eyes but I see a small smile cross her face. "Want a coffee?" I ask her.
"Sure. But this is my treat" She says. I roll my eyes, shaking my head a little before we find a small cafe. We head inside, ordering two cups of coffee before Bella pays and we find a table for two.
"I love days like this" Bella suddenly says, her eyes meeting mine over the rim of her coffee cup.
"Shopping?" I chuckle.
"No, when I have you all to myself," She says. I grin at her, taking her hand in mine.
"I love it too" I reply honestly. We sit in silence for a while, drinking our coffee. I sit forward slightly, swallowing hard and feeling anxiety in the pit of my stomach. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something..." I trail off.
Fuck. Why do I feel so nervous about this?
I've been thinking about it for weeks and know it's not that different to what we're doing now.
Just say it!
"Yes..." Bella trails off, looking at me across the table.
"How would you feel about leaving some stuff at my apartment?" I ask her. Bella's eyebrows raise in surprise.
"Are you sure?" She asks.
"Yeah. I mean, it seems silly that we keep taking stuff back and forth so...what if you left some stuff at mine and I left some bits at yours?" I ask her, biting my bottom lip anxiously.
"Yeah okay" She grins, her eyes sparkling into mine.
"Yeah?" I breathe.
"Yeah" She giggles. "I like that idea" She nods.
"Cool" I chuckle, feeling relief move through my body. We grin at each other before finishing our coffee and heading back out onto the street, hand in hand.
A couple of hours later I collapse on the couch, groaning.
"Oh my god, my feet" Bella moans, flopping down next to me. I nod in agreement, kicking my shoes off and flexing my calf muscles.
"I blame you entirely" I reply, closing my eyes and resting my head against the couch.
"Oh really?" Bella says sarcastically. I nod a small grin crossing my face.
"You wanted to go shopping," I tell her with a shrug.
"I believe you suggested it!" She argues. I chuckle at her, my eyes still closed.
"I still think you owe me big time" I reply. There's a beat of silence.
"Oh really?" She says again, this time her voice sultry and teasing. I crack one eye open watching as she moves from her seat on the couch, sliding to her knees.
Oh, fuck yes.
I open my eyes, looking down at her, kneeling in front of me, feeling myself harden immediately. I feel my breathing become elevated as she reaches up, pushing my sweater up my stomach and under my arms. I immediately sit up, reaching back and yanking the fabric over my head and dropping it to the couch beside me. Bella kisses all over my stomach while undoing my belt before popping the button on my pants and dragging my zipper down, the sound loud in the otherwise quiet room.
"Lift up" She whispers. I do as she asks, lifting my hips so that she can pull my jeans over my ass. She drags my pants down my legs leaving them bunched around my ankles. She returns for my boxers a moment later, leaving me exposed from the waist down before gently taking me in her hand
"Mmm" I groan quietly before she begins to pump her hand up and down my length.
Oh shit, that's so good.
She moves her hand perfectly, with just the right amount of pressure and speed. The action makes my eyes flutter closed and I settle back against the couch cushions, enjoying her touch. Suddenly, my eyes fly open and a deep groan leaves my mouth as I feel her mouth envelope the head of my cock.
"Oh shit" I breathe, lifting my hands and pushing her hair away from her face, wrapping it around my fist so that I can watch.
Fuck, that's hot.
Bella bobs her head over me, taking me as far as she can and wrapping her hand around what won't fit in her mouth. She moves her head in a quick rhythm before fluttering her tongue around the head. My breathing becomes laboured and I tighten my hand in her hair, making her moan quietly.
She bobs her head again, massaging her tongue against the underside of my cock before she lightly drags her teeth against the vein, making me moan. My hips lift off the couch involuntarily and the action makes Bella gag a little.
"Sorry" I mumble, my head dropping back against the couch.
Bella continues to bob her head quickly before I feel her hand snake between my legs, rolling my balls in her palm.
"Oh shit, shit, shit" I grunt, my legs beginning to twitch as I feel my orgasm lick the base of my spine.
I spread my legs a little, trying to give her more room to work. Bella begins to take me into her mouth a little deeper and I put pressure on her head, moving her just how I want. I begin to pant into the air as her hand slides further back to the soft skin behind my balls.
"Urgh...yes, yes, yes..." I moan, biting down on my bottom lip before I say something embarrassing. Bella strokes her fingers against the velvety skin, coaxing my orgasm from me and I begin to feel my breathing come out in small gasps.
"I'm gonna cum" I whimper, feeling my body tense under the pressure of my impending orgasm. Just then, Bella presses her fingers up into that magic spot and I arch my back, crying out as my orgasm hits. I groan loudly as I release into her mouth, Bella swallowing everything I give her until I collapse back against the couch.
Bella removes her mouth from my cock, leaning back on her knees, her hands stroking soothing motions on my thighs.
"Fuck" I groan, opening my eyes and looking down at her.
"Am I forgiven for shopping?" She asks, her eyes full of mischief.
"We can go shopping whenever you fucking want" I nod breathlessly. She giggles before standing from the floor and sitting back down on the couch. I catch my breath for a moment before standing from the couch and pulling my pants back up.
"Okay, your turn" I say before leaning over the couch, caging her in with my arms as my mouth moves to hers. Bella giggles against my lips before moaning as I move my mouth to her neck, sucking on that spot just behind her ear.
I move down her body until I'm on my knees in front of her. I copy her actions, shoving her sweater up until she lifts her arms, letting me take it off, leaving her in just her bra. I kiss across the swell of her breasts before dropping my mouth down her stomach to her abdomen.
I pop the button of her pants, dragging her zipper down before pulling on the fabric of her jeans. Bella lifts her hips, letting me pull them over her ass and down her legs. I quickly yank her shoes off, before pulling her pants completely off her legs, returning for her panties a second later.
As soon as she's naked from the waist down, I pull her to the edge of the couch, spreading her legs so that I can move between them. Bella's breathing is heavy, becoming more elevated as I kiss up her inner thigh before taking one long lick of her pussy.
Bella gasps before moaning loudly as I flick my tongue quickly over the small bundle of nerves. I feel her hand move to my hair as I slide my hands up her calves, pulling her legs over my shoulders before holding her still by the hips.
I'm relentless, licking and sucking and flicking my tongue over her clit until she's gasping for breath and moaning loud and long. I can feel her legs begin to twitch on either side of my head and I groan quietly.
Bella's breaths start to come out in harsh pants as she gets closer to the edge. I feel the muscles in Bella's legs start to tighten when suddenly I hear my front door open.
In a matter of seconds, three things happen. I see Bella's eyes widen in panic, I throw my body over hers, covering her up as best I can and fucking Emmett and Rose walk around the corner.
"Fuck!" I hear Emmett cry when she sees Bella's naked legs, bra-clad chest and my bare torso sprawled on the couch.
"What the fuck guys?!" I shout, feeling marginally humiliated but more concerned about Bella right now. It's her who's naked from the waist down anyway.
"Oh my god! We didn't think you were here!" Rose squeals before spinning around so her back is to the two of us and covering her mouth. Emmett slaps a hand over his eyes and for a moment I'm struck by how they look like two of the three wise monkeys.
"What are you even doing here?!" I cry, moving away from Bella's body and yanking her clothes back up to cover her over. Her cheeks are scarlet and I brush her hair behind her ear, trying to comfort her.
"We asked Jasper if we could borrow his projector for Emmett's family movie night on Saturday. He said if you weren't here to use the spare key!" Rose argues.
"Don't you guys know how to knock?" I ask, pulling my sweater over my head and doing up my pants.
"We did knock! Twice! But you didn't answer!" Rose says, huffing slightly. "Probably couldn't hear us because of what you were doing," She says, her voice sounding a little disgusted.
"Why are you fucking on the couch anyway?" Emmett asks crudely.
"We weren't fucking!" I cry.
"May as well have been" Emmett shrugs.
"Because it's my fucking apartment and it's my fucking couch!" I reply. "And you take your hand down now, we're dressed.." I say, my voice aggravated.
Emmett drops his hand while Rose turns around slowly, peaking over her shoulder at the two of us. At least they both have the decency to look contrite.
"Sorry Bella," Emmett says, taking in her red cheeks. "I didn't really see anything" He reassures her.
If he did I'd gauge his eyes out.
"It's okay Emmett" She replies quietly.
"Let's just get the projector and go!" Rose says, looking at Bella apologetically. Emmett nods before striding across the living room and grabbing the projector.
"So, we'll get your hair," He says, making me roll my eyes at him. "Sorry for the interruption" He adds before disappearing towards the front door.
"Bye B!" Rose calls before I hear the front door close behind them, leaving us in silence. I stand shellshocked in the middle of the living room before seeing Bella's body shaking out of the corner of my eye.
Fuck is she crying?
I look over at Bella and see she's...laughing.
"Are you laughing?!" I cry incredulously before Bella starts to laugh loudly, bracing herself on her knees as her body doubles over in hilarity.
"Oh come on! It is pretty funny!" Bella giggles. "Of all the times they used the spare key!" She says, wheezing.
As I watch her I feel the corner of my mouth quirk up before a chuckle bubbles out of my mouth and then I'm laughing too. I laugh until my stomach aches and my cheeks hurt and my eyes water. Eventually, we manage to rein our giggles in and I move towards Bella, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I'm sorry if you were embarrassed," I say quietly.
"Of course I was embarrassed!" Bella giggles, "But not as much as Rose by the looks of things," She says rolling her eyes. I chuckle thinking of Rose's horror-struck face. "Thank you for attempting to cover me up," She says.
"It's quite alright. It was the last I could do" I chuckle. "So...what now?" I ask her after a moment of silence.
"Well, as far as I can tell, you owe me at least two orgasms" She giggles.
"Oh really?" I ask, raising an eyebrow at her. "You're not put off?"
"No, but maybe let's move to the bedroom...just in case" She giggles.
"Deal," I say before grabbing her hand in mine and dragging her towards my room, Bella's laughter echoing through the apartment before the door slams.
