oOo
Bella placed a smacking kiss on Edward's chest.
"I'm exhausted," she whispered, making sure he felt her breath. She licked over his nipple. "You exhaust me."
"Psht," he replied sleepily. "I exhaust you?" he gave her breast a fond squeeze. "You're talking to an old man here, baby…"
"Mmm… You don't really show any signs of aging, darling…"
She kissed her way from one nipple to the other, and southward.
Edward's belly was firm and he smelled good and she was, again, drowning in him. Also, she really was exhausted. She placed her head on Edward's belly and fell asleep.
.
Bella woke, surprisingly, in the exact same position. The difference was that Edward's finger was passing up and down her side.
"Hey," he mumbled sleepily.
"Hey."
She blinked.
"What time is it?"
"Three? Or four?"
"Hmm?"
She moved higher, and snuggled into his side.
"How long've you been awake?"
She kissed his chest again.
"How long have I known you?"
He kissed her forehead.
Bella sighed happily, and kissed his chest again.
"I love you, Edward."
"I love you, Bella."
.
When they woke again, they had moved. He was pressed to her back, kissing her neck, and Bella could feel his arousal against her thigh.
The morning sun was peeping in through a gap in the curtains.
She sighed.
"Are you awake?"
His voice was thick with sleep.
"Hmm…"
She sighed when she felt his fingers.
"Bella…"
"Oh… Yes…"
Warm, soft lips.
Long, knowing fingers.
"Oh… Oh, oh…"
"Bella…"
Hot whispers in her ear.
"I love you."
"Yes…"
She craned her neck to give him better access for his sucking kisses. His fingers played her masterfully, alternating between tender and demanding, until she was moaning loudly.
Somewhere at the back of her mind, Bella thought that she used to be much more shy in bed. Well, used to. That was before Edward.
He sneaked his free hand around her, pulling her even closer in the process, and began to fondle her breasts, teasing her nipples and driving her crazy.
"Bella…" He nibbled on her earlobe. "Baby, you're so beautiful… I love you, I need you…"
"Edward… oh…"
She wiggled her butt against him, finding him rock-hard.
It didn't take him long to be back inside her, both of them groaning with pleasure and relief.
Bella closed her eyes, concentrating on the intense sensations he was causing as he rocked into her. She grabbed his hand, needing to hold onto something.
"Mmm…"
"Baby…" He licked over her neck.
On and on they went, but when Edward's fingers moved from her breast to her belly and lower, and he started to please her, softly, decidedly, she shattered into pieces, crying out and trembling.
"Oh, Bella… Baby… ohmygod… ung…"
He held her so close she almost couldn't breathe for a moment. It was, in the best sense of the word, breathtaking.
"Baby…" he murmured, sounding utterly spent.
Their bodies entwined, they were fighting for breath. She kissed his forearm, his wrist, his fingertips, and she could smell herself on him.
"Maybe you're right," he whispered huskily. "I'm not aging that quickly, You're my little fountain of youth…"
Bella sighed happily. If she made him feel younger, he was the one who had awakened her body.

Thank you for your reviews and for alerting me to my silly mistake – that's what happens when I work without a beta or pre-reader…
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
