Previously…
"Not really, it is nothing to slap down a credit card. You are the amazing one, taking care of my son all of these years. Thank you love, thank you for loving me enough to give me such a gift." He kissed her head, "I love you so much Bella."
"I love you too."
"I want to do this right love, between us. I know we are…we get hot when we are around each other." He watched her reaction and she laughed. He shrugged, "We do, and I want to make sure we are ready. I want it to be special, like the first time."
"It will be."
"We will make it be love. It has to be, I will accept nothing less for us." She allowed him to pull her close and smiled, "I can't wait."
Later that night they put Timmy to bed. He looked around, "It's all white." Edward chuckled, "Yes, but you know what? I will let you decorate it your way. Would you like that?"
"Can I paint it blue?"
"If you want."
"Can I have a sky and a pirate ship on the wall?"
Edward covered him with the sheets, "You can have anything, as long as your mom and I agree ok?"
"Ok daddy." Edward leaned over and kissed his head, "Night."
Bella hugged him kissing him as well, "Night baby, sleep tight."
He turned over snuggling with his bear. They knew he was tired, today had been a long day and there were so many new things to explore. Edward took her hand leading her back downstairs. He stopped and turned to her in front of the back doors, the moonlight illuminated his beautiful chiseled features. He lifted her chin with his fingertips, and she found herself lost in his devastatingly sensuous smile.
"Bella." He whispered kissing her softly. It was meant to be short and sweet, but he knew better when she responded placing her arms around his neck. Her fingers buried in his dark hair. He went rigid for a moment in surprise then responded in kind, opening his lips to her and delving inside her warm mouth with his tongue.
Hunger filled him and he groaned into her mouth as her small, unsure hands slid across his chest and to his waist. He felt like he was on fire, her fingers igniting flames wherever she touched. She was giving in to his warm embrace, her entire being focused on his touch. Shivers running through her body as his hands slid under her shirt and traced her spine.
She really couldn't imagine how she had lived without his touch so long. She never knew anything could feel so good and so perfect. She needed more. Her kisses grew more urgent, and as he sensed her need he pulled her tightly against his length, his control quickly dissipating.
This was such sweet torture. He was intoxicated by her smell, lavender and freesia. She was so soft, so warm. Releasing her lips he moved down sliding his arms under her thighs and lifting her against him. She could feel his muscles flexing under her fingertips.
His eyes met hers in unspoken question. He had wanted this different, wanted a dinner, perhaps something more and to slowly enter into this. It wasn't going to happen. He should have known it would be too much if they were alone. Her small hands moved to his shoulders as she leaned down, once again capturing his lips.
He made sure he held her securely and headed to his bedroom. She didn't release his lips, continually coaxing and teasing him. He was half way up the stairs when he turned pressing her into the wall. He allowed her body to gently slide down his as he devoured her lips hungrily.
He finally pulled away resting his forehead against hers. "We have to stop until we get upstairs. I can't…if we don't stop I won't make it." His words were deep and breathy. His chest was heaving.
She smiled, taking his hands and pulling him behind her. He was glad for this moment, even if his body disagreed. They needed to slow down or this would be over before it started. She led him inside his room and shut the door behind them. He closed his eyes inhaling deeply, taking a moment go focus.
Bella walked over to his French doors and opened them. It allowed the fresh air in and held him fascinated at how beautifully her hair glittered in the light. He kept the bedroom light off there was no reason for it. The moonlight was enough. She leaned on the door turning to him, "I didn't realize you had such a beautiful view."
"I did, I've been dreaming of it for six years." He said as he walked to her. She smiled. He reached up resting his fingers on her cheek then made a trail to her jaw, and across her soft, full lips. She felt a shutter of longing. Her breath quickened and she closed her eyes. He gently kissed each eyelid then progressed to feather light kisses down her neck.
She wanted him more each moment she was in his illuminating presence. She found herself totally focused on the feelings he created as his lips and tongue caressed her neck and the exposed skin of her shoulder. His emerald eyes were suddenly on hers.
"Bella, I can't explain what I feel right now. What this feels like to be here touching you, like this." His voice was husky and a few notes lower than usual.
"You don't have to." She ran a shaky finger across his chest, "I feel it too."
She stared up at him, his almond shaped eyes full of desire. In an effortless movement, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed gently laying her down. She reached up gripping his collar and coaxing him down with her. He captured her lips as his hands freely roamed her body.
She heard a sensuous rumble deep in his chest, and she was certain her heart was going to stop. He leaned up shooting her a sinful grin, "I think we have too many layers between us." She was so captivated by his voice she didn't move. He chuckled gripping the hem of her shirt, "Sit up love, I need to see more of you."
He moved to allow her room and realized all too soon that was a mistake. She was suddenly in his lap the moonlights glow flickering wickedly in her eyes.
"Promise me." She whispered softly, her voice trembling. He stroked her cheek, "Anything my love."
"Promise me you will let this happen, you won't back out. Not now, not this time."
He brushed a stray lock behind her ear. "Not this time." He repeated removing her shirt before his lips crashed upon hers.
She awoke to the bright rays of light streaming in from his balcony doors. Wiping her eyes, she looked around taking a moment to reorient herself to where she was. She felt his warm body beside her and glanced at him. He lay motionless on his stomach. His hips covered by the cream colored sheet. His upper back and legs exposed.
He was so beautiful, how was if fair for anyone to be so erotically male? "Where did that come from?" She said to herself softly. He turned meeting her eyes, "Morning my beautiful sunshine." He cupped her cheek, "I have dreamed of waking up next to you like this for so long."
"Me too." She said shyly, the red creeping up her cheeks. He chuckled, "Ah Bella, always so sweet and innocent. You don't have to blush around me love, although I do find it highly desirable."
He embraced her in his warmth. "I slept so well last night, maybe because my heart finally came home." She giggled taking in his unique scent. He always smelled so good.
"How do you feel baby?"
"I feel great." She answered looking up to see his face. He stroked her head, "No soreness?"
"A little, it's not too bad though."
"I am sorry you feel any pain sweetheart." His lips fell on her forehead. She sighed, "It's normal. It's been a very long time."
He chuckled, "I promise we won't wait so long again." She slapped his chest playfully.
"As much as I love this, we should check on Timmy." She said with a disappointed tone. He smirked, "Don't worry love, we can do a replay tonight if you wish."
"You are so naughty." She teased pulling out of his arms and searching for her clothes. His booming laughter followed her, "So I am. Here." He tossed her a shirt. "You can find them later."
He winked walking out. She slipped on his shirt and opened one of his drawers regretting she didn't bring her bags up yesterday. Grabbing a pair of striped boxers she slid them on and folded down the waistband. She was glad they didn't have a peephole in front.
She looked in the mirror, ran her fingers through her long hair and went to find him. He was leaning outside of Timmy's door. His eyes trailed lazily over her body from head to toe and he grinned. "I like the outfit. I think I'd like it better off."
"You my dear are supposed to be sweet this morning. No tempting with dirty thoughts."
"Yes, I know. Just saying." He gave her his lopsided smile and opened Timmy's door. He was still sound asleep. She touched his arm. "Let's fix breakfast then we can wake him."
"All right."
He followed her downstairs and started on the omelets while she grabbed the bacon.
"I was thinking of having someone come and talk to Timmy about his room, is that acceptable?" He asked as he stirred the eggs. She smiled, "It's fine."
"It will take a few days, he'll have to stay in another guest room."
"He won't mind."
"Good. James is supposed to stop by with a few papers for me to sign, and I'll get him to set it up."
"Sounds good." She replied as she washed her hands. He kissed her neck, "I love you."
"I love you too." He would never tire of hearing that. He couldn't believe how quickly the routine had been set. One night and it was already like they had been doing this for ages. It had always been that way with her, comfortable and easy. He didn't have to try it just happened. He had always liked that about their relationship.
"What do you think about changing Tim's name?"
"You mean to Cullen?"
"Yes."
She sighed leaning on the counter, "Are you sure you want to do that? It's already going to be hard enough to hide him."
"I don't want to hide him love." He rested his hands low on her hips. "I love him, I just don't want him in the spotlight. It's a totally different thing."
"I know baby." She kissed his nose moving to turn the bacon.
"Can I come in?" They heard from the front of the house. Edward laughed, "He finally gets it. I'll be right back."
"Coffee?"
"Yes, love."
She watched him leave and started the coffee. He was soon back with James at his side.
"Morning." She said sweetly. She figured if she played nice maybe he would as well. James looked at her surprised and then took a moment to scan her attire. "Morning." He smiled mischievously and sat down, "This is what we need." He began showing Edward some paperwork, and he promptly signed. She sat his coffee down beside him. He looked up, "Thanks, baby."
"Would you like some coffee James?"
"No, thank you though."
She returned her focus to the bacon. She felt like she was being stared at and turned. Edward winked, pushing the papers aside. "I'll sigh the photo's after breakfast."
"I'll just pick them up later this afternoon, that ok?"
"Fine."
He grabbed the paperwork and turned, "See ya later, Bella."
"Bye."
She didn't look up, but she soon felt warm hands on her stomach tracing her belly button. She froze, "Edward, I am going to burn myself."
"I thought you liked playing with fire." He teased, as he pulled her away from the stove and turned her to face him.
His lips were soon against hers, soft yet firm. The kiss was tauntingly slow, she knew she had to stop or else they would end up back in the bedroom. She pushed lightly on his chest, "Bacon." She reminded him.
He smiled moving to take care of the bacon. He looked at her over his shoulder, "If you had me the eggs I'll get started on them."
"Ok." She replied handing him the bowl. He heated a new pan and poured then inside, "I was thinking about taking Timmy to a toy store today. He could pick out a few things."
"Is that a good idea?"
"Well, I can get them to close for me. We'll go through the back."
"You can do that?" She asked with an open mouth.
He chuckled, "I will spend an obscene amount love, they will close it for me. That being said I have another request."
"What?" she raised an eyebrow suspiciously, he grinned widely. "Alice has already left me a message, she is desperate to take you shopping. Do you think you could accommodate her please? Just once."
"It will never be just once."
"Well, you are probably right but she is so excited. Please, for me."
"Fine, what will you and Tim do?"
"I am sure we'll think of something, maybe go to said toy store." He hinted. She grabbed his bicep, "You mean today?"
"Well, it wasn't something I wanted. I didn't have a choice you know Alice. My parents wanted to see us this week and well…I figured best to get it over with now so we won't be driven crazy."
"Great."
"I'm sorry love."
"I'll watch this if you want to get Timmy." She said popping his butt. He jumped, "Yum, remind me to have you practice that later."
"Edward!" She scolded as he laughed running out. They came down and ate breakfast together. Timmy looked at the photos. "What are these for?"
"I have to sign them, my agency gives them to certain people."
"Why?" He asked curious. Edward chuckled, "Well, some people find it alluring to have a signed picture of your daddy."
"Alluring?"
"Special, maybe that is a better word for you." He said ruffling his hair. He looked at Bella, "Do you find it special mommy?"
She giggled meeting Edward's eyes. "I don't need a picture sweetie, I have the real thing." Edward chuckled answering his now ringing phone.
"Yes Alice, I know hang on." He handed Bella the phone with an apologetic look. She sighed answering it. "Yes Alice, I know…yes I'll be ready. Ok, thanks you too."
She closed it and sighed, "I have to get ready. She will be here soon." She kissed Timmy and cast him a glance, "You owe me buddy."
"No worries I will make it up to you." Knowing Timmy wasn't watching, he licked his lips slightly sending her a look that promised endless passion. She felt the heat rise in her cheeks and stood. "I'll be in the shower."
"Where is mommy going?"
Edward grabbed their plates. "With aunt Alice, you and me are going to the toy store later. Does that sound good?"
"Can I get the big dinosaur?"
"What big dinosaur?" He questioned. Timmy smiled, "They have one that growls and walks. You can even ride it. Mommy wouldn't get it. She said wait until later because we didn't have room for it."
"Well, we have plenty of room here, and I think if they have it we'll get it."
"Yes!" He screamed excited. Edward chuckled, "Why don't you go brush your teeth and change clothes."
"Ok, daddy."
Bella was soon ready and found them in the living room. Alice was already there, "Bella!" She hugged her tightly, "Are you ready?"
"Not really, you know I hate shopping."
"Oh nonsense, you will love it." She grabbed her hand but Edward stopped her. "Here love." He handed her his credit card. Alice grinned widely, "Oh Bella, we will really have fun with that." He chuckled. Bella looked at him oddly, "In today's world they aren't going to let me just use your credit card without you there."
"Yes they will, your name is on my account. It doesn't have to be on the card just yet, they are sending one but in the mean time you are good."
"Wait. I am on your credit card?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
He pulled her close, "I can think of many reasons, but by far the most important is I love you, and I want to take care of you. I took you from your home, from your friends and your job. It's the least I can do. Please accept this."
"Edward, it's too much."
He gave her a devastating smile and kissed her thoroughly. She fought for air when he released her. She was confused and kind of dizzy. He laughed and kissed her head, "Have fun love."
I thought since I took so long updating a few days ago...and since you haven't had a smokin' chapter in a while I would attempt a little something to get the blood pumping. :) I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
