Five Days of Holiday Hell
Chapter Twelve
There was something sexy about being lassoed in as Bella had done. Edward had been at a tipping point for days, if not more. Honestly, probably from the moment he'd first laid eyes on her. He felt the softness of her fingertips against the skin of his abdomen and it took considerable control to not throw Bella over his shoulder and hunt for the nearest flat surface.
"Bella?" Her name felt comfortable on his tongue and he knew her taste would be perfect there, too.
One of her hands, tense in its grip on his shirt, settled on his chest. Her other hand remained wrapped around the waistband of his jeans. Only a little more and he wouldn't be able to hide his erection. He didn't dare look down; it would only draw her attention there.
She nibbled her lower lip. "You're driving me crazy."
"Uh, you took the words out of my mouth," he replied, as breathless as her. Every whiff of her lightly perfumed skin electrified every nerve in his body. On the edge, Edward cleared his throat. "You either remove your hand from there or prepare for the consequences." It sounded like a threat to him, but it was too late. The words were out before he could process any other thought.
Shit. Did he go too far?
The smirk on her face only added another layer of desire and snapped one of the few threads holding him back.
"You mean this hand?"
The hand on Edward's chest, hot over his thin cotton t-shirt, traveled down, only to join the other. Another tug on his jeans, another twitch of his cock. She was teasing him and enjoying every second of his torment.
A little push had him backed up against the door of her apartment. He had to do something to even up the odds. Her desire had to match his, though he didn't think that was possible.

Clueless about how the tables turned on Bella, but she was up against the door with Edward whispering dirty things that drove her up several more notches.
As if she didn't want to drop to her knees already.
"Your skin is so soft," Edward murmured along the hollow of her throat. She had no clue the little patch of skin was so sensitive and the fact it had a nerve that seemed attached to her pussy. Every brush of his lips, tongue, and breath caused her thighs to clench. "You taste sweeter than I imagined."
"You imagined what I taste like there?"
She felt his torrid smile on her pulse. The lightest scrape of his teeth had her moaning. Did he hear how her heart pounded in her chest? It was so loud.
"Here, here, and here," he whispered, slipping a hand between her thighs. "Can I touch you some more?"
She nodded before she lost her ever-loving mind. "Please touch me."
And that was when he backed away.
She wanted to scream in agony, but she knew it would be over the top and probably send him running.
"What's wrong?"
"There's someone knocking on the door." Edward's cheeks flushed almost tomato red, along with his ears, his words rushed and soft. "It sounds like a little old lady. I think it's your neighbor." He tried to hide the beast in his jeans with his shirt, but it was a wasted effort. There was no hiding that thing.
Damn it! Such horrible timing.
"My bathroom is the first door on the right. Let me deal with Mrs. Shelley." Bella fanned her face and checked the nearby mirror on the wall. Edward wasn't the only one with a five-alarm blush going on.
She watched him practically run down the hall; his noticeable limp made her thighs clench once more.
She swung the door open with too much enthusiasm. "Shelly!" Did Bella sound like she was about to get it on? "Is everything all right?"
Shelly, a woman in her late sixties, with wispy gray hair, greeted Bella with a smile. "I picked up your package, dear. Normally, I wouldn't have bothered you when you have a guest, but it appeared to be something you two would enjoy." The suggestive wink and the waggle of Shelly's white eyebrows made Bella's gaze snap to the package between them.
From La Perla.
What perfect timing!

Edward felt a shiver run down his spine as Bella cackled from the living room. What the hell just happened?
AN: It has been too long! I'd give you the rundown, but it would be longer than the chapter. I am keeping it short to help hopefully with my writing schedule. As in, I hardly have time, but I missed it so much. I wrote this in less than 30 minutes and it probably shows, but I hope you like it. Expect to be back soon with another update for one of my other fics. How's everyone?
