Huge thanks to my wonderful betas, Sherry and Paige!
"The way she fit in them blue jeans, she don't need no belt
But I can turn them inside out, I don't need no help
Got hips like honey, so thick and so sweet
It ain't no curves like hers on them downtown streets.
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurry
I'mma take it slow just as fast as I can."

BPOV:
Sonora, Texas doesn't have much to offer. There's a golf course, a few restaurants and hotels, and the Old Sonora Ice House Ranch Museum. Despite it being drab and boring, I wouldn't mind spending the day doing the tourist things the small town has to offer. However, I know Edward wants to get to El Paso as soon as we can. By daybreak tomorrow we'll be back on the road.
The town's crowded due to some special event, making it hard to find a hotel with a single vacancy. When we finally find one on the edge of town, there's only one room available. I try to feign distress, but I can't say I'm too unhappy about the news. Not that I plan on sleeping with Edward, blazes, I just met the man. However, that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the time alone with him. To have a nice conversation, of course! I want to snort at the idea of trying something with him. He only just met me today when I was still wearing my wedding dress for goodness sake! I dismiss the thought completely by the time he gets our room key and gives me a look of resignation.
"I can take the couch," he says as he ushers me toward the elevator. Seems like he really doesn't want to dawdle. I don't blame him after the horrible traffic we endured.
Edward presses button to call the elevator and taps his booted foot as he waits for its doors to open. I can't help but smile. He looks so adorable when he's exhausted. I just want to pull him into my arms and comfort him as he falls asleep. Which is an odd thought for me considering I never had the inclination to do that with my ex-fiancé. Heavens, when he would come home I wanted to get as far away from him as possible. He would always prattle endlessly about his day and then tell me how 'easy I had it' as a waitress. If only he knew how hard it was dealing with a plethora of hungry people. Eric was the type of guy who'd dismiss every aspiration I had because he felt he could 'take care of me'. If I'd stayed with him, I would've been barefoot and pregnant by next year. I shudder at the thought.
The elevator doors finally open, and I'm pleased Edward grabs my hand and pulls me inside. We don't have much luggage. He has a duffle bag full of clothes and I have a small suitcase filled with bathing suits, flip flops, and sundresses, as well as a few shorts that are so skimpy they'd give my ma a heart attack. I'm going to have to get a new wardrobe as soon as I get to El Paso. I very well can't go around town with my body on display. This town will be a fresh start for me and I want to look decent. As I daydream about my future purchases, I can't ignore the comforting circles Edward is rubbing on the top of my hand with his thumb. I'm surprised he hasn't let go yet and smile at the idea he may not want to. I'm glad he hasn't, because I love the feel of him.
The elevator dings and the doors open to the fourth floor. I smile as Edward pulls me to our room at the end of the hall. Oh, how I wish we were entering this hotel room under different circumstances. Different circumstances that have sex somewhere on the horizon. I pull my mind out of the gutter as Edward unlocks the door to our room and pushes it open. I'm content to see that it's nice and clean for a Comfort Inn. The last time I stayed at one of the hotels in this chain I found pubes on the toilet seat, which caused me to develop a phobia I can't seem to shake. This room, however, is nice and clean with a bed that looks like a soft cloud compared to the front seat of Edward's truck. With a giddy smile, I run and jump on the bed, a satisfied sigh escaping my lips as I sink into the mattress.
"How is it?" Edward asks with a chuckle as he places his bag down on a nearby chair.
"It's wonderful!" I exclaim as I roll over on my back and give him a bright smile. "Want to test it out?"
Edward looks uncomfortable for a moment as he sticks his hands in his pockets and watches me curiously, before giving in with a shrug and joins me on the bed. He doesn't get too close, but I can feel the attraction which feels like an electrical current surging through the air between our bodies. He moans as his body relaxes against the mattress before turning his head to give me a contented grin.
"It's nice, isn't it?" I question as I turn onto my side to get a better look at him.
He runs his hand through his unruly hair and sighs. His handsome features relax as the soft mattress soothes his tense muscles. I can't help but appreciate his body as it's splayed out before me. His physique suggests a disciplined workout routine because his muscles are molded to perfection. If it wouldn't be wildly inappropriate, I'd run my finger over the ripples of his muscles, including the six pack that's visible through his cotton shirt. When I finally look at his handsome face, I realize he's giving my body a once-over as well. I flush and cross my arms in front of me, shamelessly pushing my tits together. Since he's a guy, I doubt he knows what I'm doing. However, if a girl was here to witness this she'd probably laugh at how obvious I'm being. It's the oldest trick in the book, but it's always worked well for me in the past.
"You can take the bed if you want," he says as he sits up. I can't help but pout at the idea. "I can sleep on the couch."
"Edward," I laugh, trying to sound as casual as possible, "you don't have to sleep on the couch. You spent the majority of the day driving. You deserve a break. We're both adults here, we can sleep in the same bed."
Edward gives me a strained smile and slides off the bed. As he stands before me, I realize his entire body is really rigid. Maybe I can offer him a massage? Stop it, Bella! "Is something wrong with that?" I ask with a friendly smile.
"No," he says as his eyes fall to my tits.
"What's wrong then?" I giggle.
"Sorry," he says as his shoulders relax slightly. "My muscles just feel really stiff after being cramped up in the truck for so long."
As my eyes trail down his muscular frame, I find his muscles aren't the only thing that's stiff. Once my eyes land on his bulge, I can't seem to look away. I lick my lips before I can stop myself, and I've got to use all my self-control to meet his eyes after seeing that monster in his pants.
"Well, maybe you could use a nice shower. I'll let you use the bathroom first," I say with a coy smile.
Edward doesn't seem put-off in the slightest. He watches me look at his cock straining in his jeans, and makes no move to stop it. Heck, he doesn't even bother hiding his erection. He puts his hands on his hips and leans back on the heels of his feet, jutting his hips forward making his erection more prominent. My smile grows wider as we stare at each other, as if looking for an indication of what to do next. I don't make any move toward him and Edward doesn't move to touch me. His eyes rake over my body, seeming to appreciate every curve I have, before giving me a cocky smile. He runs his hand through his hair before his entire body relaxes.
"I'll jump in the shower while you find us a good movie to watch," Edward says with a smile.
He leaves me feeling hot and bothered as he walks to the bathroom with his hard cock still straining against his jeans. I feel euphoric after our heated encounter and Edward didn't even lay finger on me. I can't imagine how I'd feel if he touched me, kissed me, or fucked me… If his stare alone can inspire this type of response from me, I can't imagine the pleasure his touch would cause. I shake those thoughts out of my head and sigh, jumping off the bed to grab the remote to browse the channels.
There's nothing interesting on basic cable, but as soon as I get to those naughty channels you have to pay for, I can't help but pause for a second. Oh, if my ma could see me now… My mother walked in on me watching porn as a teenager and it was a traumatizing experience for both of us. Thankfully, I wasn't masturbating or anything like that-mainly because I can usually get myself off with my vibrator and my vivid imagination-I was just watching the adult film merely out of curiosity. Of course, my strict Christian mother didn't see the entertainment value of the offending video and took my computer out of my room. I guess she didn't want to think about her teenage daughter being curious about sex. I snicker at the memory of my mother's face as I scan through the possible titles. Semen Demons 2, I guess I can't watch that because I didn't see the original Semen Demons, I think with a snort. Breast Worship, Jada Fire is SquirtWoman 1, Breast Worship 3: Supernaturals… as soon as I see the title Space Nuts, I flip back to regular cable. I couldn't imagine the look on Edward's face if he was billed for a movie called Space Nuts.
Speaking of Edward, I flip to a random channel and slide off the bed to check on him. At first, I consider opening the door and peeking in, but he would probably lose it if he saw me. So, I decide to place my ear against the door, to try to hear what's going on in there. He could just be taking a shower, but he did have a massive hard-on when he went in there; so, he could very well be jerking off a few feet away with only a door between us. The thought of him touching himself makes the muscles of my pussy gently pulse in desire. Jesus, Bella! Why are you acting so horny around this man? I'm going to jump him the moment he slides into bed at this rate.
Maybe it's the fact that I'm finally away from Eric that has my libido running wild. However, it's more likely to be the fact that the man I'm traveling with is too sexy for his own good. Whatever the case, I don't know if I can control myself. Or if I even want to.
A/N: I've driven through Sonora, but I never actually spent any time there. It seemed like a good place for B and E to stop though! I feel like a cockblocker for ending this chapter here, but the next chapter is with my betas and I'll be posting an unedited teaser in my facebook group tonight.
