"Mmm…"
It was just a small sigh, but Bella's fingertips felt encouraged to move further into Edward's hair.
"Bella," he whispered between open-mouthed kisses. "Bella…"
Hot breaths were mingling, swollen lips melting. It was tender and intense, and warm and sensuous, and Bella was beginning to feel giddy in Edward's arms after… minutes, or hours, of kissing.
The November night was chilly, but she didn't feel cold. His hair was silky between her fingers, and his arms around her were strong. She, who always wanted to be in control, finally felt that she could let loose.
"Hey." He nuzzled her nose with his.
"Hey," she murmured, all gooey from their actions.
He kissed her again, soft lips moulding with hers. They couldn't stop.
Edward rested his forehead against hers as they both tried to catch their breath.
"Sweet Bella," he whispered.
"I want to ask you to come inside," she murmured against his warm lips, "but I guess that would be… kind of early, right?"
"I want to come inside with you," he mumbled back, pecking her lips with tiny kisses between words. "But I know it would be too early."
And they both laughed softly before they resumed their kisses, oblivious to the world around them. Until Bella's phone beeped loudly from her handbag, pulling them out of the magic between them.
"I don't want to go," Edward whispered against her lips. "Will I see you tomorrow?"
"I'm having lunch with my family… But maybe… after that?"
"Yes." She could feel him smile.
"I don't want you to go, either."
"Good to know."
Another kiss.
And another.
When he finally left, Bella found herself staring after the red Volvo until it rounded the corner. She practically flew the two flights of stairs to her flat, throwing off her coat and flinging herself on the bed. She stared at the ceiling. Her mind was, for once, a pleasant blank.
Maybe they weren't a perfect match.
Maybe things might get difficult.
Maybe everything happened for a reason.
It felt right.
She closed her eyes and relived their kiss in every tiny detail. The way his body had felt against hers. So much taller and broader.
His smell, clean and manly and utterly arousing.
His lips, moving eagerly with hers.
And the tiny sounds both of them had made.
His words.
His warm breath.
And then her phone beeped, and she jumped up to get it.
One message from Jackie, which had to be the reason her phone had beeped earlier.
"Don't forget to use the minty ones, lol."
Bella shook her head. The new message was from Edward.
"Beautiful Bella. Thank you again for tonight. I miss you already as I am sitting in my kitchen with a moronic grin. Your sweet lips, your beautiful smile, your bright eyes… I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I'm so, so glad that we met. E."
Bella squealed silently and threw herself back on her bed.
"Edward," she typed. "Yes, it was lovely. I'm so, so glad we met, too. And I am thinking of you as I lie on my bed. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Sweet dreams, sweet Edward. B."
She shut her eyes and floated.
