Giving chocolate to others is an intimate form of communication, a sharing of deep, dark secrets- Milton Zelman

Bella's POV

I had no idea what had come over me. It was so unlike me to be so confident, so unafraid, so worry free. I could hear the rest of the Cullen family talking downstairs. At least I knew they were preoccupied. My urges for Edward had been increasing with every passing second. Being away from him so much today nearly destroyed me. I threw rationality out the window along with responsibility. Who needed them? As long as I had Edward nothing else mattered. Consequences never crossed my mind. I was determined to do what I had to do. I was determined to make Edward happy. I was determined to give him a part of me that no one else ever had the privilege to enjoy. Today was the day.

I pulled Edward behind me towards my bedroom. I threw him a smile every once and awhile to just see how he was reacting. He looked quite excited. His eyes smouldered with energy, his muscles felt more taunt, his face more striking then ever. Once we reached my room I knew what I wanted to do. I quietly locked the door behind us and pushed him against the wall. He was taken back by my aggressive actions. Once again this was so unlike me. I pressed my body up against his, one of my legs positioned between his thighs. I crushed my lips onto his. There was no tameness present. I was as rough as could be and his body seemed to be responding. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled up. He lifted his arms in the air and broke the kiss while I ripped the shirt off of him. I pushed his head back against the wall and kissed him again. He was having more fun now. His tongue traced my lower lip. I could feel him smiling against lips when I pinned his arms to the wall. He moved his hips, trying to get closer to me. I let my fingers trace the waistband of his boxers, occasionally pulling them away from his body. I slipped my hands into the back pockets of his shorts and pulled him closer to me. I directed us to the bed and sat him down on the edge. I straddled his lap and pulled my hair out of its ponytail and shook my head. I continued to assault his lips. His hands kept me planted on his lap. Eventually I broke the kiss and hopped off his lap. He's eyes relayed his detest as I backed away from him slowly.

"Don't worry…." I whispered. I turned around and walked to my suitcases. Alice had bought Edward and I a "housewarming gift" so to speak. I had noticed it last night while I was changing. At the time I was shocked and horrified but I felt now was the perfect time to present it to Edward. I pulled the long wooden box out of my luggage and hid it behind my back. I walked slowly back to Edward with a smile. He anxiously awaited my body to touch his again. I pulled the box away from my back and placed it on Edward's lap. He picked the box up to examine it.

"Alice bought it for us…" I began, reading his expression. I would have never bought this myself.

"Chocolate body paint?" he asked with a smile.

"I love chocolate…" I whispered as I pushed him back onto the bed. He shimmied so that he was laying in the dead centre of the bed. Once again I straddled his hips. I slid the wooden lid off the box and pulled out the contents. Two paintbrushes and two vats of chocolate body paint.

"One for you and one for me" I giggled as I held the contents up for Edward to see. He growled at me in a playful way before pulling my face towards his. I kissed him gently for a few seconds before pulling away. I undid the lid to the container that held the chocolate paint and grabbed a paintbrush.

"Stay still…." I whispered as I began to paint on Edward's bare chest. He shifted a bit once the cold paint hit his body.

"Guess what I'm drawing…" I said as I moved the brush along the skin that stretched over the lower part of his rib cage. I felt his body shiver under the touch again.

"A heart…" he guessed.

"You're good…" I joked before dipping the paintbrush back into the chocolate.

"And this?" I said as I drew on him once again, just below the heart.

"You're name…." he said rather hoarsely. I dipped my finger now in the paint and brought it to my lips.

"And together they mean…" I said, urging him on. I sucked the chocolate of my finger slowly. His eyes fixated on my finger.

"Together they mean I love you Bella…" he finally managed to blurt out. His breathing had become somewhat laboured now and if I looked close enough I could see his heart beating through his chest.

"That's right…." I whispered as I lowered my head to kiss him quickly. I then turned back to the paint. I drew one line from the top of Edward's boxers to the beginning of his neck. I then proceeded to lick the paint off in one very slow yet exaggerated motion. Edward shuddered as I pressed my body onto his as I moved further up his torso with my tongue. His hands moved to my ass, pushing me closer to his face. Finally I reached his lips and he flipped me over on the bed.

"My turn…" he said with a rather large grin. He now pushed my T-shirt up as far as it would go. He gently raised my upper body off the bed and slipped the shirt off me. As the shirt came over my head he thrust his lips onto mine and gently nibbled. I could have very well lost it right there. He pushed me back down onto the bed. My hands grabbed at him trying to bring him closer to me but he wouldn't have it.

"Be good…" he whispered in my ear before planting a kiss behind it. I involuntarily shivered. He smiled against my skin. His fingers traced the features of my face down towards my belly button. He kissed just below my navel and pulled my skirt down to sit lower on my hips. He then reached for the paint and his brush. I felt him draw a small circle around my belly button. He then drew lines stemming from the circle.

"What do you think that is?" he asked while places kisses just below my bra. I couldn't even think. I tried to calm myself down and focus. Focus!. A circle with lines coming out of it. My mind was a total blank. Edward kisses became more aggressive and occasionally he nipped my skin. I tried to focus on what he had drawn. Finally it dawned on me.

"It's a sun…" I gasped. Edward stopped kissing me and laughed.

"Took you long enough…" he kidded before kissing my forehead. He moved back to the paint set. I felt the brush stroke my skin again above my navel. He was spelling something on me. It was three letters. I knew the middle letter was an "O" but I hadn't paid attention to the first or last letter he had painted. He retraced over each letter once he saw me beginning to concentrate. I closed my eyes trying to picture what he was writing in my head. His free hand now hooked itself into the top of my jean skirt. I gasped when his cold fingers met my skin. He retraced the letters again for me. I thought hard.

"Y-O-U" I spelt out "You?" I asked when I opened my eyes. He nodded.

"What do you think it means?" he asked before sliding his hands behind me so they were lodged between my back and the bed. His fingers reached for the clasp of my bra. In one snap my bra was undone and I couldn't even think of what he had just asked me.

"I don't know Edward…" I whispered. I felt his teeth grab my right bra strap. He pulled down very slowly, his teeth grazing my skin. I slipped my arm through the strap once he had pulled it down far enough. He looked at me, desire streaming out of him, before he spoke. He lowered his mouth back down to my ear.

"You are my sunshine…" he sang quietly. Tears nearly welled up in my eyes. "You are my sunshine" was the first song Edward ever played for me on the piano. I was surprised he even remembered he did it. At that time he tried to teach me how to play a few notes of the song but it sounded terrible.

"Oh!" I gasped as I pulled his face to mine. I sat up quickly and locked my lips on his. My bra fell limp around my waist. His hands caressed my now bare back before he pushed me back down onto the bed. He threw my bra to the side and admired my body. He lowered his head back to my navel and began to lick the chocolate off.

Soon I found myself standing in the middle of my room Edward's lips glued to mine. I undid the zipper and button to his shorts and let them fall around his feet. He stepped out of them gracefully and proceeded to twist one hand in my hair while the other massaged my breasts. Knowing that I needed to catch my breath he moved his face away from mine and paused. He smiled at me while I tried to intake air. He watched as my chest lifted and collapsed with every inhale and exhale. I studied his face not knowing what had just happened. Were we finished? Did he want to stop? Was he having second thoughts?

"Edward…" I began with a twinge of sadness in my voice. He didn't respond. I tried to look in his eyes but it was no use. I noticed he wasn't even blinking.

"Edward…" I tried again. He reacted this time. He shushed me quickly.

"I was admiring your body Bella…" he explained before attacking me again with kisses. He continued to bite and nibble various parts of me. My shoulder, my neck, in between my breasts. Excitement grew in my stomach. My legs felt weak and my heart was pounding so fast I couldn't even hear myself think. In fact I couldn't even think at all. I felt Edward getting more excited as his movements became more exaggerated and rough.

Again I found myself pushing Edward up against one of the bedroom walls. In one swoop I had removed his boxers and thrown them to the side. It was my turn now to admire him. As I knelt and stared at his manhood, I could feel Edward's eyes burning into the top of my head. I looked up at him and smiled.

"You don't have to do this Bella…" he said, reading my anxiety and nervousness.

"I want to…" I said while I let my fingers trace the hollow area behind his kneecaps and the muscles of his thighs. He shivered with desire. His eyes rolled back into his head as I traced closer to his erection. In a split second I made a decision what I was going to do. I took most of his length in my mouth. I heard Edward hiss with pleasure as my hot mouth secured itself on his cold cock. I let myself get use to his girth before I let my tongue trace the head of his dick. I did what felt natural but I was still worried I wasn't doing what I should be doing. I looked back up at Edward. His eyes were still shut, his mouth hung open and I could hear him gasp with every new manoeuvre of my tongue. His hands tried to steady himself against the wall. I now grabbed the base of his shaft and gently squeezed. He squirmed under my touch, trying to push himself further into my mouth. I moved onto sucking him. I varied the speeds at which I moved every so often. I let my teeth dig into him occasionally which practically made him scream. He knew he had to be quiet though. His body started to slide down the wall. I saw his knees tremble beside my face but I continued. I felt his hand on the back of my head, now controlling the speed at which I pleased him. I felt his dick get harder and bigger in my mouth. I had a hard time compensating for his size already….

"Holy fuck…." he gasped as I bit him gently and squeezed him again. His trembling increased. He tried to keep himself steady.

"Bella…." he moaned as he grabbed my hair. Chills ran up my spine from his touch. I continued to suck, bite, and explore his cock with my tongue. I felt forehead rest on my head as he lost his strength and stability.

"Fuck Bella…." he whispered into my hair before he exploded in my mouth. I wasn't fully ready for it and wasn't sure what to do at first. I swallowed as much as I could while some dripped out of the corners of my mouth. He tasted amazing. I released my clamp on him, wiped my mouth, and pulled away. He fully slid down the wall now, shivering with his eyes closed. I crawled up to him, sliding into the space he had left between his separated legs. His erection was still very prominent. I felt my hands claw at his chest before I pulled myself up to his face. I kissed him before I bit into his lower lip. He gasped before kissing me back. I could feel his ragged breathing patterns against my own chest. Then there was a knock at the door. I jumped up nearly ripping Edward's lips off. His eyes flew open with worry. Still shaking he stood from the ground and looked at me with wide eyes. Who the fuck could that be? That was such a stupid question to ask…

Edward ran around the room looking for his boxers. He slid them on quickly and grabbed his shirt and shorts. I found my bra and secured it on me again. I threw my t-shirt back on and tried to fix my hair into a proper ponytail. I wiped my face once again making sure none of Edward lingered on me.

"Get into the bed! Act like your sleeping!" I hissed "and hide that chocolate stuff with you!". Edward threw the sheets down and scampered into the bed. There was another knock on the door.

"Bella?" Esme's gentle voice rang. I took a look towards Edward who was now totally engulfed by my bed sheets. I quickly ran to the door and unlocked it. I flung it open not sure how I was going to explain this situation.

"Shh.." I whispered to Esme "Edward's sleeping. Sorry, I was just putting away some of my stuff in the bathroom and unpacking. Have you been here long?" I asked. That was the best excuse I could come up with.

"Oh no dear. I'm sorry to be bothering you but I just wanted to let you know that Carlisle is back now and that dinner is on the table. Edward must be exhausted from watching the girls. Why don't you let him sleep and we'll save him some dinner?" she suggested.

"Okay…" I whispered back before she grabbed my hand and led me out of the room. Well wasn't this just great. My plans were foiled once again.

We entered the kitchen and I noticed my pots and pans in full use. Esme must have really worked hard to make dinner and I felt terrible. I should have been the one making dinner instead of, well…doing what I was doing. I heard the rest of the Cullen clan chatting in the dinning room.

"Esme you really shouldn't have gone to all this trouble…I feel terrible that I didn't help…" I said, trying to lessen the guilty feeling that lingered in my stomach.

"Don't be silly Bella. It was nothing…" she said all too casually while. Nothing? She cooked for eight people after a long flight and hours worth of shopping. I was definitely the worst person on the planet. God was punishing me I knew it.

"You can help me grab some drinks from the fridge though…" she said while cutting up some bread.

"Of course" I said while grabbing an assortment of waters and juices from the refrigerator. I carried them into the dinning room.

"There she is!" Carlisle announced. Oh god. Had everyone been wondering where Edward and I were? How long had they been waiting for us? I tried to keep my blush at bay.

"Here I am" I responded trying to look confused.

"Where's Edward?" Emmett asked looking rather impatient. He obviously wanted food and he knew it was rude to start eating before everyone else was seated.

"He's asleep" I explained.

"I can't blame him. I'm exhausted from today and I really didn't do anything. Edward did all the work…" Jasper said. Everyone laughed and no one was staring at me anymore. Esme came bustling in carrying the basket of bread and placed it on the table.

"Dig in everyone" she laughed as she took her seat at the head of the table. I sat next to Rose. The empty seat next to me was left for Edward. I hoped he would come down and join us once he got everything sorted out in my room.

We all ate our salad in relative peace while discussing the "fun" Jasper and Edward had with the girls. It was hilarious what they had apparently gone through. Rose said she had forgotten to mention the fact that the girls usually need to be held while they're trying to fall asleep. Jasper was a tad ticked and that made the whole conversation even funnier. We moved onto our next course, pasta with meat sauce. Esme was such an excellent cook. Better than I could ever be. I helped her dish out the pasta and passed it down the table. Then Edward walked in. He had changed his clothes and wrinkled them up. He had also ruffled his hair so it looked like he had actually been sleeping. Brilliant. I hope no one suspected a thing.

"Hey" he whispered in my ear as he hugged me around my waist. I continued to pass the bowls down the table.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked while turned my face to get a better look at him.

"Best sleep ever I think…" he said with a wink before taking a seat at the table and apologizing to everyone for sleeping through part of dinner. We finished our meal a couple of hours later since we talked so much..

Rose and Emmett retreated to bed early. They wanted to spend some time with the girls and get a good nights sleep. The rest of us moved to the family room after helping with the dishes. We watched whatever movie was on TV but I couldn't be bothered to pay attention. I was thinking about what I had just done and how I wished we weren't interrupted. I knew however that it was inevitable. Ten people in a house doesn't leave much time for privacy. Jasper fell asleep halfway into the movie and Alice decided to call it a night as well. Now only Carlisle, Esme, Edward and I were left in the family room. Talk about feeling awkward. I couldn't help but think they knew we were up to something. Even worse I thought for sure they knew what we had been doing right before dinner. I stared at the TV screen blankly while leaning against Edward's shins. I yawned involuntarily.

"Maybe you should go to bed sweetheart" Esme suggested. "These last couple of days have been long ones for you…". I couldn't wait to jump at the opportunity to leave the room. I hoped my paranoia would then dissolve. I said goodnight to both Carlisle and Esme with another thank you for everything. I gave Edward a quick kiss and left the room. He remained behind with his parents.

I slumped off to my bedroom and got changed into my pyjamas. I sat on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands. Had Edward and I crossed a line today? We should have never done what we did with his family in such close proximity. The fear of them knowing what we doing continued to eat at me. I heard my bedroom door open and Edward tiptoed to my side. I lifted my head to stare at him. He laughed.

"Seriously what were the chances of us being interrupted like that" he asked as he sat beside me. He had changed into his flannel PJ bottoms and a t-shirt.

"Oh I don't know. Pretty damn good with ten people in one house…" I tried to say firmly but it came out as a giggle instead. He touched the tip of my nose with his finger.

"You were amazing…." he whispered while bringing his body close to mine.

"Ha" I whimpered. I was so inexperienced and nervous and I'm sure my attempt to please him reflected it.

"I'm not joking. I'd never felt anything like that before…" he explained as pushed me flat down onto the bed, straddled my legs, and kissed me gently.

"Good" I whispered as he rolled off and got under the covers of the bed. I snuggled up beside him before speaking again.

"I had intentions on going further today…" I explained to him.

"Did you?" he asked while playing with my hair.

"Yes…" I whispered.

"Well it's a good thing I saved that chocolate body paint then. We'll just have to start right from the beginning again next time…."
