Chapter 25: A Leech like Seduction
Edward's POV
Leah sat, with her legs folded under her, in the center of the bed. She was watching me watch her, and ironically enough she was wondering what I was thinking.
"I was thinking what I I should do with you now that I have you in my lair." I rubbed my hands together and grinned evilly. She rolled her eyes at me.
"Edward, tonight… tonight, we're just friends." She looked down at my hand resting on her thigh.
"But we just…" Instead of starting to argue, I searched her mind to figure out her logic. Bella still thinks she's with you. Until the all the battle stuff settles and Bella knows the truth, we really shouldn't do anything.
"Humph, I see," I muttered. I couldn't argue with her logic. She wanted to start fresh and be respectful to my previous relationship. Even though I understood with her logic, it didn't mean I was happy about it. I was a selfish predator at heart and right now Leah was the prey I wanted most of all.
"Mind rapist," she mumbled. "This time I'm glad you did though, I'm not sure I would have enough strength to say no twice." As she talked she flexed her legs and wiggled her toes.
"Are you saying if I pestered you enough I would be able to have my way with you?" I lay down on my back beside where she was sitting on the bed, folding my hands under my head. She followed suit and lay down beside me, mirroring my pose.
"Well, Mr. Cullen, if you were to pester me, I'm sure that would have the opposite effect than the one you're looking for, believe me." She closed her eyes and smiled.
"Duly noted, Miss Clearwater. I will make sure never to pester you, but I will strive to seduce you at every available opportunity."
"No offense, Edo, but I'm the first woman that you've ever been with. I doubt you'd be able to seduce me." She pointed out. I rolled onto my side toward her.
"Leah, I've already seduced you. I made love to you in a coat room for crying out loud." I reached over and tugged on her shirt and she pushed my hand away.
"True, but I was drunk, Edo," she retorted.
"No, you were buzzed but your thoughts were clear. Trust me, I know." She clicked her tongue and rolled her head away from me.
"Whatever," she mumbled."
"So I was right?" I prodded. I wanted to hear her confess it.
"No Edward, you didn't seduce me. You didn't have to because I already… I don't want to have this conversation." She flipped over onto her stomach so I couldn't look her in the eyes. I gently pried her up off the bed and facing me again. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I found this bashful version of Leah amusing, but I'd much rather she be blunt, honest, and open.
"Leah, why did you submit to me so easily if you weren't seduced?" I moved some of her hair out of her face, her breath began to slow and her pupils dilated.
"I surrendered. I have spent so much time trying to push away this feeling that when the dam broke, my passion for you was like a beast I couldn't control." I fought my inclination to laugh at her, but she could see the humor bright in my eyes.
"Shut up!" She shoved away from me. "That's the last time I'm honest with you."
"I didn't say anything," I insisted as I gingerly grabbed her hands and placed them above her head.
"Your eyes told on you!" She struggled to reclaim her hands. I held them only a tiny bit tighter, for some reason watching Leah squirm and struggle was very erotic.
"What are my eyes telling you now?" I barely recognized my own voice it was deep, low, and full of want. Leah's eyes mirrored the desire in mine. She forced her eyes shut.
"They're saying something that I'm not willing to receive until after this battle is over."
"Why put off until tomorrow something that would feel so amazing right now?" I kissed the tip of her nose and she chuckled deep in her throat. I shifted my weight to place the majority of my body on top of hers.
"God Edward, you suck at following directions!" She giggled as I kissed her neck. I allowed my tongue to play along her exposed skin. She broke free of my grip on her hands and placed her hands on my shoulders. "Edward," she groaned. "You've gotta stop… please." I lifted my head reluctantly. She placed her hand on her chest; she seemed thrilled by the rush I'd just given her. I'd gotten worked up, too, even though I had no heartbeat to reflect it. I tilted my face to the ceiling and tried to calm my urges. I had never felt such lustful urges as those Leah produced in me. Lust seemed to aggravate my monstrous side. The monster in me wanted to rip Leah's clothes off. I wanted her helpless and moaning underneath me.
"God Leah, you make me feel so strange, so dark." Leah shifted to her side and propped herself up on her elbow.
"You should see the look in your eyes," she mused. "You look like a completely different person right now. If just making out creates this feeling in you, I can only imagine how you'll respond to nudity." I peeked at her briefly.
"You mean your nudity? I've lived for over a century, I've witnessed nakedness before." I chuckled and expected Leah to laugh, but instead a worried expression made the color in her face vanish.
"Have you witnessed Bella's nudity?" She avoided my gaze now. I paused intentionally; I was seeing so many sides of Leah tonight. She finally pinned me with a vicious stare. "Have you?" She repeated.
"What would it matter if I had?" I asked. Leah began to pull away from me which made me quickly reconsider my statement. "I haven't, but you what would it matter. My love and desire for you are so different than my love Bella was."
"How is it different?" Leah's head tilted to the side. I raised my eyebrow at her and then sighed.
"Do you realize what you're asking?"
"Yeah, I want to know, Edward. What makes you think you want me over Bella?" She looked so vulnerable, like if I didn't say the right thing I could break her.
"There's only one reason. I'm in love with you, I see nobody else but you. My dear, you are…" I looked into her eyes and became entranced. "You captivate and mesmerize me. You still my breath. You make me feel lost and found at the same time."
"Whoa, I wasn't expecting you to say all of that." Leah eyes were wide and alarmed. She blinked a couple of times and then snickered at me.
"I gave you the truth. What were you expecting?" I asked because I thought the mush was what she was expecting. She shrugged.
"I don't know. I guess I was expecting you to say something like, you love me because my boobs are bigger than hers," she joked and then looked down at her chest, which of course caused me to follow her line of vision.
"Hmm, well let's see if there's any merit to that comparison," I teased as I smoothed my hand over her breasts and gently squeezed the right one for good measure. The action was stupid and downright goofy on my part. I was humoring Leah, but frustrating myself by aggravating a side of myself that I wasn't at all familiar with. Without my permission an exaggerated groan released itself from inside me.
"I didn't know vampires growled. I thought hissing was more your forte." Leah placed her hand over mine. "Edward, it's just a boob, there's no need for all the ruckus."
"I beg to disagree Miss Clearwater, you're not a man, you don't understand how alluring a woman's flesh is to behold and to feel." I gazed upon Leah's flushed skin. "You're blushing Leah, and your skin is hotter than usual. Each touch of your flesh stings my fingertips and makes me feel as if they are on fire, but in a good way, of course." Leah's breathing had slowed and she panted softly as I caressed her face briefly before returning both my hands to caress and massage her breasts again. She chewed on her bottom lip to stifle her moans before finally surrendering to the feelings of passion within her. As she admitted defeat she clenched the collar of my shirt and allowed her lips to crush against mine. God, she felt good.
She pulled me on top of her. "I was trying to be good. This is your fault," she said between planting kisses on my lips. "You've caused me to behave so recklessly."
"I'll gladly take the blame," I whispered in her ear before sucking on her earlobe. I rolled onto my back and took her with me and lifted her clothing. I quickly removed her night shirt and made easy work of removing the black bra underneath it. I parted from our embrace allowing just space in between us for me to observe Leah's body. I wanted to commit every smooth contour of her body to memory; her heated copper skin looked as if it were glowing. She was simply radiant.
"I want to devour you." There was that tone I didn't recognized. I allowed my fingers to draw a trail from her chest to her navel. The touch of her soft, heated flesh caused the expected manly urges and physical reaction. My body indicated a fevered need to be inside of her, but I was determined to take things slow. I watched as Leah's body began to maneuver in a seductive sway.
"Make love to me, Edward, please," Leah whimpered as she reached for me.
"But I thought you wanted to wait? I don't want to detour you from you previous wishes," I patronized her. All the while I was unbuttoning my shirt. Leah wanted me, she played with her own breast and she tried to fulfill some of the yearning she felt.
"I've changed my mind." She abruptly sat upright, apparently I wasn't moving fast enough. She began undoing my fly. She reached into my pants and began to stroke me.
I clenched my teeth and inhaled sharply, pop rocks down there was a life altering experience. "Are you saying I've successfully seduced you, Miss Clearwater?"
"Shut up Edward, I don't have time to stroke your ego right now. I'm too busy stroking other things." Leah hummed a low laugh in the back of her throat while grazing her teeth along my now exposed abdomen.
"By all means carry on!" I cupped the back of her head and her magnetic eyes searched mine. It wasn't long before we became completely lost in each other. It was a new exploration, a brand new sensation. It was an intimately private, secluded moment between Leah and me.
