Chapter 7

Bella POV

Lemons ahead - know that you have been warned! :)

The ride back to Edward's apartment felt different to Bella. It's not that Edward was doing anything wrong; it had more to do with them confessing their feelings for each other. Bella felt it in the air and knew that the moment they got to Edward's apartment that it would be the defining moment of their relationship and instead of feeling nerves Bella felt a rise of excitement in her stomach. She didn't want to assume she knew where the night was going to go but she could hope - and she was hoping that Edward would take her to his bedroom and show her just how much he truly loved her.

Bella knew that people would say that the two of them needed to slow things down but she knew deep down that she was doing the right thing. Even if the two of them didn't last forever she would have this moment with Edward to remember him by and she was completely fine.

Edward had his hand on Bella's knee and - even through her jeans - she could feel his warmth which didn't help the warmth she was feeling in between her legs. When they stopped at a red light a few blocks from his apartment building his hand raised just a couple inches higher which caused her breath to hitch. She had hoped that he didn't notice but when she looked at him out of the corner of her eyes she saw the smile that he was trying to hide from her.

"What are you doing, Edward?" She asked him. She made sure to smile at him just so he wouldn't think that she was mad about where his hand was placed on her leg.

"I'm not doing anything, what about you?" He looked over at her with a sly look in his eyes and raised his hand a few more inches so his pinky was able to lightly graze her sex through her jeans. She bit her lip to hold back the moan that was fighting to break out. "Have I ever told you how much I love when you bite your lip?" He asked her while still stroking her center.

"I don't think you have," she said, breathlessly. She noticed that the light had changed to green but since there were no cars around them Edward made no move to get the car going.

"Whenever you do that all I can think about is how much I would love to be the one biting that lip," he said, softly.

"I might just let you do that." Edward's eyes heated up and before she could think of something to say or to regret what already came out of her mouth Edward had his hands fisted through her hair and devoured her with his mouth.

She forgot where they were while she struggled to remember to breathe but even that one was hard for her to do while Edward was this close to her. Once breathing became necessary he pulled away but before she could protest he turned her head to the side and kissed her from her neck to just below her ear and then - to make matters worse - nibbled on her earlobe. She almost came undone at that simple act and felt the heat rise inside of her.

"As much as I would love to take you right here in my car I don't want our first time to be rushed." He pulled her hair gently so that he was able to claim her lips as his own again. They lost themselves in the kiss before Edward pulled back just far enough so that when he spoke she was able to feel the brush of his lips against hers. "I want to take my time with you and worship every inch of your body. I don't want to leave one spot on you untouched."

Bella lost the ability to string words together so she just nodded her head - she was surprised that she was able to do that much. Edward gave her one last lingering kiss and pulled away. She didn't miss it when he had to adjust himself in the driver's seat before pulling forward into the intersection. The thought that she was able to pull that reaction out of Edward gave her a sense of power.

"If you keep looking at me like that I won't be held responsible for my actions," Edward growled at her. She once again bit her bottom lip at his words and when Edward looked over at her she heard him growl again. Thankfully, they pulled into the parking lot of his apartment and Edward wasted no time before unbuckling himself and launching out of the car. She couldn't help the laughter that bubbled up from her chest when she watched him rush around the car and opened the door for her.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked her.

"You just seem very eager," she said. He grinned at her before leaning down so he was able to whisper in her ear.

"For what I have in mind for you I don't think I can wait another minute." Her breath hitched at that, he pulled back to give her another one of his crooked grins before reaching out for her hand.

"As much as I love this enthusiasm of yours won't it be tampered by Alice and Jasper?" She was pretty sure that Alice had not been in their apartment when she left for the night with Edward so she only assumed that she was going to be here with Jasper.

"I texted him before we left the pier that if he knew what was good for him that he'd better be gone and not to return until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."

"A little presumptuous, are you? What if I didn't want to come up with you?" She asked him.

"I would never make you do something that you didn't feel comfortable with so if you didn't want to come up here with me then I wanted to do something else with you. There is no one else that I would rather spend my night with then you, my beautiful Bella." She felt the blush fill her cheeks, Edward chuckled when he saw her become as red as a tomato. "You need to get used to receiving compliments from me, Bella; you are absolutely gorgeous and I never want a day to go by without telling you that."

They stopped outside his door and Edward gently leaned her against it. He raised his arms so she was caged in, her stomach fluttered at the look on his face. He looked like he wanted to eat her alive and by the way she was feeling she knew that she wouldn't be able to stop him.

"How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?" She whispered before leaning forward for a kiss.

"You've got that the wrong way, love; I'm the lucky one," he mumbled to her. He reached down and jiggled with the doorknob so the door was able to fly open and the two of them stumbled inside. Bella couldn't say for sure that they were alone but that was the last thing on her mind as Edward shut the door with his foot and then pushed her against it.

"Look what you do to me," he told her as he grinded his hips against hers. She groaned into his mouth at the feeling of his groin against her most sensitive area.

"Edward, I don't know how much more teasing I can take," she moaned out. She knew that he wanted to take his time but she didn't think she would be able to last for much longer without his length inside of her.

He just smirked at her as he brought his hands up to the hem of her shirt and let his hands rest against the skin right below her bellybutton. His other hand went up to her neck and pulled her head against his so she quickly lost herself in his lips. The hand that was lower was slowly trailing up her body until he got to the bottom of her bra. She was glad that she had picked out her one lacy bra before she left the house tonight, just in case. He pulled the cups down so he had access to her breasts.

While Edward was worshipping her she was able to get her arms to the front of his shirt and - surprising herself - was able to unbutton it. She wasted no time before she had her hands on him and stroked his abs before pushing for him to take his shirt off. He just smiled at her before dropping the garment on the floor and then doing the same to her.

Soon they were topless and pressed so close together that Bella felt like they were one person. When Edward's fingers found their way into her jeans she felt an overwhelming burn rise inside of her. Her orgasm hit her unexpectedly and her nails clawed into Edward's shoulders, she would have apologized since she had a feeling that she had pierced through his skin but she could barely remember to breathe let alone speak a coherent sentence.

Once she came down from her miraculous high she fell limp against Edward so she could catch her breath.

"That was amazing," she whispered. She heard him laugh and then he placed a gentle kiss on the side of her head that was such a contrast to how he had treated her a minute before.

"That's just the beginning," he told her. Without another second of hesitation he lifted her up and laughed at her when he heard her shriek in surprise. She wrapped her legs around his waist and leaned back just enough that she was able to look into his eyes.

"I love you," she said.

He placed one of his hands on her cheek while the other one was still holding her up against his body. "I love you, too." He pulled her face to his and they quickly lost each other in the kiss.

Edward walked quickly down the short hallway that led to his bedroom - they only hit the wall twice - and soon he let her go so she slowly slid down the front of his body. He groaned out loud at the feeling of her bare body gliding down his own.

"I don't think I can wait any longer before being inside of you," he murmured to her.

"Then don't," she replied.

He growled before pulling her up and tossing her, gently, in the center of the bed. She felt a shiver go through her body when she saw the hungry look in his eyes as he devoured her with his eyes.

"I wanted our first time to be slow but I'm not going to be able to hold myself back," he told her. She nodded her head and without another word he reached over into his nightstand and produced a condom.

She grabbed it from him and ripped it open with her teeth before sheathing it on him. He didn't waste another second and was soon inside of her. Her toes curled and she moaned loudly at the feeling of his member inside of her.

Soon, the only thing that could be heard was their moans and the sound of skin slapping against skin. Before too much longer Bella felt the telltale signs of another orgasm coming, she curled against Edward and bit into his shoulder to hold back the scream that wanted to escape. As she laid there in her post-coital haze Edward thrust into her two more times before he groaned his release into her.

They laid there in silence while they caught their breaths, Bella was slowly gaining the ability to think coherent thoughts.

"I take it back, that was amazing," she said.

He laughed with her for a moment and then slowly pulled out of her to take the condom off and disposed of it in the trash bin next to the bed. He laid down on his back and pulled her to him so she was laying on her side with her head on his chest and her leg was draped over his. He stroked her spine in calming motions and soon Bella felt her eyelids getting heavier.

"I love you," she mumbled again before she let sleep take over her.

Edward POV

Edward slowly woke up to the light filtering in through his bedroom window. At first, he was confused when he felt a warm body lying next to him but then the night before with Bella came rushing back. He grinned when he opened his eyes and looked at her beautiful face that was next to him.

He softly chuckled to himself when he took her in. She was sleeping on her side, facing him, one hand was under the pillow and the other was tucked under her chin. What got him laughing was the way her mouth was slightly open and he could see just a hint of drool coming out of the corner of her mouth. He could already tell that she was going to have severe bedhead when she opened her eyes. Her makeup looked a little smudged around her eyes but even with all these flaws all Edward could see was the most beautiful woman in the world.

This was the first time that he had ever fallen asleep with a woman - even the first time that he had ever had a woman in his room. He was happy that he didn't feel any slight twinge of panic. He just turned to his side and watched her for a few minutes until she started to move around in her sleep and her eyes slowly drifted open.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said.

"Hi." Her voice was rusty and when she moved her hand she rubbed it over her mouth and seemed to notice the dried drool on her cheek. "Oh my God, I'm a hot mess right now," she grumbled to herself. She made as if she was getting up from the bed but Edward made sure that he moved one of his arms on top of her stomach gently to stop her.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I just need a moment in your bathroom to freshen up; I have horrible morning breath and I probably have drool all over my face." She rubbed her hand over her face again to get all the supposed drool; Edward just laughed before wrapping his fingers around her wrist and pulling it away from her face.

"You are beautiful - even with drool all over your face." He smiled at her, it took a few seconds but she finally cracked a smile and her arm relaxed enough that he felt comfortable dropping it carefully on the bed. He leaned towards her and placed his palm on her cheek and rubbed his thumb across her cheekbone. "I don't even care about the morning breath, I don't think I can wait another second without kissing you." He didn't wait for a response; he just took her lips with his.

"I could get used to this in the morning," Bella said when they pulled apart.

"Me too," Edward agreed. He never thought that he would want another woman in his bed with him the next day - any girl that he had slept with before Bella he made sure that he was out of their apartment before the sun came up. He wasn't proud of it but he knew that if he ever stayed over with them that they would get the wrong idea and he tried his hardest to avoid that from ever happening.

"As much as I would love to keep lying with you my bladder has other ideas," Bella said with a laugh. Edward smiled at her and lowered his arm from her stomach so she could sit up. "Do you possibly have an extra toothbrush that I could borrow?"

Edward was distracted for a moment by her naked body and then it somehow got worse when she pulled his shirt on from the night before - they way that she only buttoned a few buttons made him think that she was trying to get him to take her right there.

"Edward?" He was brought out of his little fantasy by her voice and when he finally looked at her he knew that she knew exactly what was going through his mind at that very moment.

"I should have another one in the top drawer underneath the sink," he told her. She nodded and left the room but not before Edward was able to get a good look at the way that his shirt just barely covered her ass and left little else to the imagination. He rolled over and groaned into his pillow - now that he had her he didn't think he would ever be able to let her go. He heard her laughter from the bathroom and knew that she had heard his groan, he took a deep breath before rising from the bed and pulling on his boxers; he couldn't ignore the rumbling of his stomach any longer and he had a feeling that Bella's was doing the same.

He reached the bathroom and leaned against the doorjamb as he watched her brushing her teeth. An act that innocent shouldn't have gotten him so riled up but he just couldn't stop the reaction his body had to her.

"Pancakes okay?" He asked her. It was one of the only breakfast items that he trusted himself enough to make without ruining it.

"Sounds perfect," she said once she had spit the toothpaste out of her mouth. As she passed him in the doorway she leaned up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips and went back to the bedroom.

Before she could shut the door he spoke up, "You are required to only wear my shirt this morning." He smiled at her when she turned around and noticed the spark in her eyes that told him she was having fun.

"Oh, really?" When he nodded at her she continued, "If I have to wear your shirt then you can't put anything else on, either." He didn't even hesitate as he agreed. He would do almost anything to keep her in his clothing for just a little while longer.

Breakfast was perfect. Edward knew that he was turning into a girl by all of the sappy thoughts that he was having but he truly never wanted the morning to end. When they finally pushed away their empty plates he pulled her bare legs up on his and started to lightly massage her thighs, he knew that it was slowly driving her crazy. He wasn't immune to the soft moans that were coming from her mouth and soon he was standing at half mast and was just about to take her right on the kitchen table when the door to their apartment opened and not one, but two, voices broke their little bubble.

Bella looked at him with wide eyes when she recognized Alice and Jasper's voice and her eyes immediately went to her barely clothed body. She stumbled to button up the shirt a little bit more but only got one button done before Alice and Jasper entered the kitchen.

They froze at the sight of Edward clearly in his boxers and Bella in nothing but his shirt.

"Crap, maybe we should have called…," Alice said slowly with a wicked glint in her eyes as she watched Bella squirm. Edward slowly lowered her legs on the floor and reached over with his arm to make sure that the shirt was pulled down far enough that nothing was flashing their intruders.

"I was going to ask you if you had fun last night, Bella, but I think I have my answer," Alice said. Edward didn't particularly like that she was laughing at Bella but he knew that she wasn't doing it in a malicious way.

"Oh, I had fun, that's for sure." Bella winked at Edward after she said that and he almost spit up the coffee that he had just sipped out of his mug.

The two girls started laughing which helped ease the tension that had filtered through the room when they were interrupted.

"So, what do you two have planned for the rest of the day?" Jasper asked them.

"I was just going to spend more time with my amazing girlfriend but I hadn't really thought of what we were going to do," Edward lied. Truthfully, Edward had wanted to spend the whole day with Bella in bed while they explored each other's bodies but he knew that it wouldn't be an option.

"Are you two up for a double date? Jasper and I were going to go out to eat and then go see a movie," Alice suggested. Edward looked over at Bella for her answer because he didn't want to answer one way or the other in case she wanted to go.

All she did was shrug but he saw the slight hope in her eyes and he knew that she wanted to spend some time with her best friend so, even though he wanted to spend the day with just Bella, he agreed. He really was turning into a pansy; he would do anything for this girl.
