Chapter 13 'the talk'

A/N: SM owns Twilight, but you knew that already.

Still wet and very naked, Edward held Bee tight to the full length of his body. She placed a small kiss on his hard, bare chest as he hummed, almost purring.

"Edward?"

"Hmm," he kissed along her neck and squeezed her a little tighter.

"When you were in the shower...", she spoke quietly, distracted by his lips on her neck and his hardening length pressed between them.

"Yes, love?" He mumbled as he continued his assault along her neck while reaching his hand down to gently squeeze her pert little butt.

She gave a lame push against his chest, not really wanting to lean away from him but needing the space so she could clear her head enough to construct a sentence.

She gave him a shy smile: "When you were in the shower you were imagining me, um, with my mouth around your, um, penis..."

He smiled at her just as shyly with a slight blush on his cheek.

She continued: "Well, is that something? ... do you want?... I mean, I don't know how but..."

He chuckled and tilted her chin up with his free hand: "My little honey Bee. I don't know what you've done to me. When I think of you, especially when I am alone in my shower or in my bed, I find myself entertaining all sorts of lascivious imaginings. Just thinking of you, of being with you, loving you, and I am hard as a hammer."

He steps back slightly and signals with his eyes to his full erection. They both chuckle as he pulls her back into a tight hug.

"Baby, one day, yes I would love you to go down on me, just as I fully intend to feast on you but we'll take our time. There's no rush; we'll do what we want to do with each other when the time is right. In the shower, I was just indulging in a fantasy, I don't expect you to do that... yet. But someday… sure." He wiggled his eyebrows and they laughed together.

Edward heard the garage door close and suddenly pushed Bee down into his reading chair. "My parents are home... you sit here and look like you've been reading," he said as he shoved a book in her hands: "I'll jump back in the shower."

Bee looked up at him with a shocked and slightly panicked look on her face, more from what he'd just said about wanting to 'feast on her' and now his penis being directly in her line of sight as she was seated roughly in the chair.

"You're still naked," is all she managed to say as she stared at his bulging manhood.

He chuckled, leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips and ran back into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

At almost that exact moment Esme knocked and opened the door simultaneously, half expecting to 'catch' the love birds in a compromising situation.

"Edward, are you in here? Is Isabella with you?" she called innocently, knowing full well that they were in there together.

"Hello Esme," Bee said, her voice barely more than a squeak.

"Oh, you are in here... where's Edward dear?" Esme was looking around the room as she spoke.

"He's having a shower, I'm just reading." Bee knew she didn't sound convincing and looked at Esme with an almost pleading 'don't call me out on my shit' look.

Esme smiled, knowing she'd broken up some sort of mischief: "Hmmm... well, why don't you come down to the kitchen when you're ready I want to see your shopping." She turned to leave but couldn't resist a little teasing, so turned back to say: "Oh and Isabella, that book you're 'reading' is upside down."

She giggled as she left the room, shutting the door behind her.

Edward stuck his head out of the room surrounded by a cloud of steam: "Is she gone? Did she catch us? Am I in trouble?"

Bee stood up and threw the book down on the seat of the chair: "Yes, she's gone, Yes, she caught us and yes, I think we might both be in trouble." She walked over to him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek and then headed out to find her adopted mother.

When Esme returned to the kitchen and sat down with her husband who'd made them some tea, she relayed to him what she'd found and shared her suspicions. In fact, she believed more had happened with Edward and Isabella than actually had, believing them to be engaged in a fully sexual relationship. They quickly discussed the need to have a serious conversation with the pair about safe, responsible sex.

Bee walked into the room and poured herself a cup of tea feeling her adoptive parents' eyes on her the whole time.

Edward burst into the room looking freshly showered and as far as his parents were concerned he looked freshly sexed up. He was flushed in the face, he had crazy 'sex hair' and he couldn't seem to stop grinning.

Esme and Carlisle shared a look which basically said that his look confirmed their thinking.

"Hi Mom, Dad." Edward stood by the door to the kitchen awkwardly as he spoke and his awkwardness only further confirmed his parents' view of the young couple's activities.

Esme stood and walked over to Bee: "Come along Isabella, let's take our tea to your room and you can show me all your new things."

Edward watched as his mother steered his stunned girlfriend up the stairs. Before leaving Esme turned to Carlisle: "Dear, why don't you have a quiet chat with Edward while I have a chat with Isabella?"

Carlisle nodded and gave his son a serious, 'time to talk' look. Edward walked over to the table and took a seat; he swallowed loudly waiting for what was surely to be a very embarrassing discussion.

"How was your evening Edward?" Carlisle was inwardly amused by how apprehensive Edward looked.

"Good. I was out with the guys for most of the evening. Emmett stayed on but I came home so I could be here when Bee got home from her outing to PA with the girls. I had a good time with the guys, but I get bored of all the bravado and was glad of an excuse to leave early."

Edward gave his father a smile and tried to relax: "How about you and Mom, did you have a pleasant evening?" He really hoped, but didn't believe for one second that this would be the end of the discussion.

"Yes, your mother and I had a very nice evening... but I really want to talk more about your evening. What did you do when you got home?"

Edward's eyebrows furrowed as he began to realise his parents might have the wrong idea about what happened upstairs. He was embarrassed enough about Bee catching him jerking off in the shower, he certainly wasn't going to tell his father about it. But now he was thinking they might've thought more was going on in his room than was actually the case.

"I watched a bit of TV but then I realised that my clothes reeked as some of the guys were smoking, so I decided to catch a shower before everyone got home. Bee arrived while I was in the shower and apparently you guys got home then too." That was pretty close to the truth, he just left out the part where his girlfriend got an eye-full of him fully naked and fully erect. He cocked his eyebrow in challenge at his father: "Why, Dad? What do you think I was doing?"

"Son, your mother and I are aware that you and Isabella are close."

"We love each other Dad."

"Well, yes... yes... and we're aware that things between you are ... well... advancing, shall we say."

"Advancing?"

Carlisle sighed, this was silly. Why was he beating around the bush. He'd always been straight with his sons, and this was no time to be coy: "Well, I mean that you and Isabella are advancing in your sexual relationship. That in fact you are having sex. We just want to be sure that you are being responsible and that you are being safe."

Edward smirked and rubbed the back of his neck: "We're not having sex, Dad."

Carlisle gave him a doubtful look, he'd been watching them and he knew the signs.

"Really Dad." He leaned forward, realising his father was skeptical he knew he'd have to give a little more information. "Both Isabella and I are virgins and although you are right when you say things are advancing, we're not about to jump into bed together... well not for sex anyway. I know our relationship seems to have progressed quickly. But we both agree that our fighting and fussing with each other for the six months before she came to live with us, was really more about flirting than fighting. We realise now that we've been attracted to each other for awhile."

He leaned back then: "We're taking our time, and although we are both very attracted to each other... neither of us are ready to go all the way,... yet." He smirked and gave his father a wink.

His father smiled and took a sip of his tea: "That's good Edward, Isabella has been through a lot and I wouldn't want her to be pressured into anything." He held up his hand knowing his son would object: "And before you object, I know you wouldn't mean to pressure her but you are an 18 year old healthy young man with hormones pumping through your body. I am sure there are times when it is hard ... "

Edward couldn't help the chuckle that escaped.

Carlisle blushed and then scowled at his son as he attempted to continue: "I mean ... well, there are times when it is difficult to control yourself. But I trust you son, I know you truly care for Isabella and wouldn't deliberately pressure her into anything she wasn't ready for."

"I wouldn't, but honestly Dad, sometimes I feel like she's the one who is pressuring me." He laughed and Carlisle smiled at his shy son.

Edward grew more thoughtful: "I should probably have a stock of condoms though... just in case things progress further. I know I've always rejected them when you've offered them to me before but I suppose the sensible thing would be to have them, for when we're ready."

Edward was blushing now and his father was no better.

"Good deal," Carlisle said as he stood from the table. "Come to my office and I'll give you what you need."

Upstairs, Esme sat on Isabella's bed as the young girl excitedly showed her all the new things she brought.

"I promise I'll pay you back Esme, but I just couldn't resist everything in that shop was so lovely and just so me."

"You don't have to pay us back Isabella, we're delighted to be able to provide nice things for you. You spent so little, either of the boys spends more when they actually go shopping. So don't think anything of it You did very well, those clothes really suit you and I love the cushions."

She puffed the cushions and placed it at the head of the bed: "Isabella? Do you mind if I ask you about your relationship with Edward?"

Bee gulped slightly. She really hoped that Carlisle and Esme were okay with her being with their son, it would break her heart to leave him. She nodded and sat down again.

Esme took Isabella's hand in hers and then covered it with her other hand: "I know that you two are in love and I am so happy that Edward has found such a lovely girl as you. I just want to know that he's taking care of you."

Bee blew out the breath she was holding: "Oh Esme, he's so adorable, smart, patient. and oh my God, he is so handsome."

Esme chuckled. She really loved the open-hearted way Isabella spoke with her.

"Esme, are you sure you're okay with Edward and me being a couple? I was living rough for so long and there are so many things about my life that you must think are terrible. I just don't know if I could stop being with him now. He's so good to me."

"Oh, my dear child. I think Edward is so lucky to have such a wonderful young woman who loves him. I only want to be sure you two are being safe."

"Safe?"

"You know, being safe when you're having sex. Are you using protection?"

Isabella turned beet red: "Oh, Esme, we're not having sex."

Esme was actually shocked to hear that. She'd been watching them and there were so close and physical with each other: "Really? I was sure you two were having sex."

Bee laughed: "Are you disappointed?"

Esme chuckled: "No, of course not, I'm just surprised. Edward looked thoroughly sexed up when he was down in the kitchen, I was sure ... " She really did think they'd crossed over to being sexually active but was relieved to hear that she was wrong.

"Oh, that's probably because Edward was masturbating in the shower thinking about me. I actually caught him in the act. When I came home I went looking for him and I heard him talking to someone in the shower; I thought he was with another girl. I was actually really jealous," Bee laughed and rolled back onto her pillows.

Esme's eyes almost bugged out of her head but when the shock wore off she laughed, hard.

"Isabella, I don't think Edward would like you to talk to me about that. We'll just keep that to ourselves, I think." Her adopted daughter's innocence and candour was both comforting and unsettling.

"Seriously, you and Edward are obviously getting more physical and I want to be sure you are responsible when the time comes. Okay? We could make an appointment so you could get some medical advice on birth control but Edward should wear a condom even if you are on protection. To be safe."

"That's probably a good idea, Esme."

They were quiet for a moment and then Esme looked at her with a mischievous curiosity: "Did you really burst in on him?"

Bee nodded: "I was going to give him a piece of my mind and catch him with this other girl, but then as I burst the shower door open he screamed my name." She bit her lip and then both women laughed.

Edward walked in: "What's so funny?"

Esme sat bolt upright and patted Bee's leg to get her to stop laughing.

"Oh nothing dear. Well, I'm off to bed. We'll organise that appointment early this week if that suits you Isabella."

Bee sat up and straightened her clothes: "Yes, thanks Esme."

Edward leaned over and gave his mother a kiss on her cheek as she passed by: "Night Mom."

He walked over to Bee and circled his arms around her waist: "Sounds like your 'talk' with Mom was more fun than mine was with Carlisle."

She turned beet red again and whispered: "They think we've been having sex. Esme is going to take me to the doctor so I can go on the pill."

"Wow. Dad barely believed me when I told him we weren't there yet. He gave me condoms." He took his hand out of his pocket and opened it out to reveal several condom packets.

She giggled and picked one up to examine it: "Do you know how to use these?"

"In theory. We might have to practice." He waggled his eyebrows as he walked her backwards until they crashed on to her bed as she giggled.

"Edward! Stop it. The door is open and your parents are home."

He rolled onto his back and sighed: "Okay, why don't you show me what you bought today."

She rolled over and kissed him chastely before jumping up excitedly: "Wait 'til you see my outfit for my party."

She disappeared into her bathroom and he fell back onto the bed, smiling to himself. He loved her so much and in that moment he was perfectly happy.

A/N: Well there you go, such a sexy couple. I love the way Bee is so open with Esme but maybe a little too open... lol. This was a shorter one but it seemed to naturally end where it did. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
