Running on Fumes

Chapter 2

By: EJJCullen

Entering the town of Forks is almost like being transported to the past. The town was straight out of Pleasantville. The stores were all family owned and passed down from generation to generation. Very few of my fellow classmates will actually leave Forks come graduation day. I, on the other hand, have plans to move to the other side of the continent to study at Dartmouth come next fall.

The town was busy as always on this Sunday afternoon; we passed Newton's Sporting Goods, Stanley Hardware, Yorkie's General Store and Weber's Pharmacy as we approached the store I dreaded most…Alice's Apparel.

Alice was just a few years older than me, and after she graduated she opened her shop in the center of town in the hopes of bringing in high fashion to the small town of Forks. Now she mostly tailors the school uniforms and struggles to sell her beautiful, yet non-practical, creations. She stays afloat due to Fork's uniform policy, homecoming and prom, and the occasional bored and wealthy housewife from Port Angels who is looking for a "one of a kind" ensemble.

I park on the street just outside of Alice's shop. It is on the corner of the main street and the window displays change frequently to showcase her latest design. Currently it's a mannequin form sporting a gorgeous, deep burgundy strapless dress that's fitted through the waist then flairs out slightly before flowing effortlessly to the ground. The dress is surrounded by leaves collected from the fallen trees around town and even has a backdrop photo of the gazebo from the center of town. All together it screams "Autumn".

Edward is out of the car quickly as I follow reluctantly, practically dragging my feet as we near my worst nightmare. Edward opens the glass door to the store and the chimes hanging from the doorknob alert Alice that she has customers. Alice appears out of thin air and startles me as she pulls me in for a hug.

"Hi Alice," I grumble as I pull away from the hug.

"Bella, I just finished your alterations, so you just need to try it on one last time to make sure it's the right length." She squeals as she drags me to the back of the store where there is a large fitting area complete with 360 degree mirrors.

I huff and puff and roll my eyes as she practically throws me into one of the four dressing rooms where my new uniform lays neatly on a plush bench. She yanks the curtain shut trapping me in the dressing room. I stare at my reflection in the mirror directly in front of me before slowly lifting the pieces of clothing that make up my uniform. The first item is the pale blue button down shirt, directly under it is the dark gray sweater vest with the school emblem embroidered just above the left breast, and finally the dreaded blue, gray and crimson plaid skirt. It's the skirt that I fear the most.

In the past three years that I have attended Forks High I have never gotten used to wearing that damn skirt. This year would be no exception. I felt my heart beat increase as flashing scenes of embarrassment played right before my eyes – tucking my skirt into my underwear after gym class, the back of my skirt bunching and riding up under my backpack as I climb the stairs to get to class, and the countless times I have slipped, tripped and fallen on every surface of Forks high school grounds allowing my ass to be on display.

I cringed and then mentally added "buy more cute underwear" to my list, as it would no doubt be seen by most of the school at some point or another when I would fall.

Deciding to just bite the bullet, I stripped out of my clothes and put on the uniform. The button down was a nice fit, the sweater vest was no issue, and the skirt fit fine in the waist, but the length was too short for my liking.

"How'd we do?" Alice chimed in from just outside the curtain.

"Um," I replied trying in vain to come up with a nice way to say I hated it.

Before I could get any more words out, Alice had flung back the curtain and was smiling from ear to ear.

"Jesus Alice! Next time warn me." I shouted with one hand over my heart and the other trying to yank my skirt lower.

"Oh, it's perfect," she cried. "I wasn't sure if I shortened it too short, but now I can see it's just the right length for your long legs." She pulled me from the safe haven of the dressing room out to the small platform in front of the three way mirror that was located in the center of the four dressing rooms. Now on full display my cheeks burned red in embarrassment.

"I could probably go another half inch," Alice started, raising my skirt as she assessed just how short it could go without completely showing my crotch. I pushed Alice's hands away as I caught Edward's reaction in the reflection of the mirror. My eyes locked with his as he licked his lips. I felt myself get a little warmer as he slowly moved his eyes away from mine and down my body.

"Umm, Alice, its fine the way it is. No way is this getting any shorter. I am already going to have to tape it to my thighs to begin with!" I huffed pulling away from Alice.

She rolled her eyes in response before mumbling "oh that reminds me" before she walked off to fetch a small, white gift bag from behind the counter. She returned handing the bag up to me saying "lose the tape". I took the bag and quickly scampered off to my dressing room as I heard Alice address Edward.

"You can go ahead and stand on the platform while I get out my measuring tape," Alice said to Edward. I pulled the vest and shirt off of me quickly, while Edward was measured and then escorted to the dressing room just beside me. I paused as I was starting to undo my skirt.

"You didn't think it was too short, did you?" I heard Alice whisper to Edward.

"No, it's perfect; an innocent length." I heard Edward whisper back. There was something about the way Edward said "innocent" that made think it was nothing of the sort.

"That's what I thought." Alice mumbled as she walked away.

"Hey," Edward said, as he pulled the curtain to my dressing room open and stepped in beside me.

"What the hell," I yelled grabbing my discarded shirt and holding it up to cover my chest.

I still had my back to him, but we could see each other clearly in the reflection of the mirror just in front of me.

"Don't worry, Alice went into the stock room to find a uniform for me, so we are alone." He explained.

"Doesn't matter," I said, watching him step closer to me. He was standing just behind me, so close that I could feel the fabric of his shirt against my exposed back and his breath on my neck making me shiver.

"What's in the bag?" He asked before he reached around me and started digging through it.

"I don't know," I said as I attempted to grab the bag, but Edward turned pulling the bag just out of my reach.

"Oh, nice" he growled as he pulled out the skimpiest, silk thong that I had ever seen. It was just a thin strip of pale pink – there was no way that anyone would actually wear that. It would cover nothing! It was dangling from Edwards pointer finger as he pulled it in front of my face before he moved back to stand just behind me.

"God, I could just picture you in this" he panted into my ear causing my skin to flush and goose bumps to appear. He dropped the bag and from where it landed just beside me, I could see it was filled with various colors of the same tiny strips of underwear.

"I…uh…" I stuttered, both mortified by the discovery of Alice's impromptu gift, and the close proximity to Edward.

"Shhhh," he breathed into my ear as he pulled me roughly against his body. I could feel his prominent erection dig into my back as he lowered his mouth to my neck without breaking eye contact from me in the mirror.

He softly bit the tender flesh of my neck as I unconsciously moaned. Hearing my reaction, Edward bit harder, no doubt leaving a bruise behind. He tossed the pink thong back into the bag before grabbing the shirt out of my hand and dropping it to the floor leaving me in just my skirt and bra. He licked his way up to my ear as he slowly ghosted his fingers up my arms and across my back to unclasp my bra before pulling it down my arms adding to the small pile of clothes on the bench.

I stood there paralyzed. "Get on your knees" he whispered into my ear. I blinked breaking the staring contest we had going in the mirror. "Don't make me tell you twice, Bella."

I could feel the pulse of pleasure radiating between my legs as I slowly turned and sank to me knees in front of Edward. "Good girl," he said as he started to undo his pants.

"What are you…" I started to say, but was quickly hushed from Edward as he explained that Alice would be gone for a while as she located all the items Edward had requested.

"The list isn't that long Bella, so I suggest you get to work before Alice returns and sees what kind of girl you really are." He snickered as he whipped out his long, thick cock.

"But…"

"I said get to work," he growled before grabbing the back of my head and pulling me towards him.

I was scared and aroused at the same time as I slowly opened my mouth and ran my tongue down the length of him. I could hear his sharp intake of air as I hollowed out my cheeks and took him in. It was absolutely sinful the way Edward could command me to do what he liked and my body was all for it. My mind was a little slower on the uptake and after I had already started with Edward's request my brain silently judged me.

I knew that Edward was taking advantage of me. My body was so quick to respond because this was the first male to every show me that kind of attention and it was clear that my body was in need, while at the same time my mind was pointing out all of my wrong doings. Edward must have felt me slow down, because he grabbed the back of my head and began thrusting into my mouth pushing himself down my throat.

"So good," he gasped as he continued to drive into my mouth. "Let me feel you swallow baby. I am almost there and Alice will be back any minute. You don't want her to find you on your knees like this, do you?" His eyes were dancing with excitement as he saw the fear enter my eyes.

"God, I can still feel you running down my fingers when you came Bella, and I can still taste you on my tongue." He moaned as I swallowed hard around him. "Yeah, just like that, take it like a good little girl."

I could feel myself getting wetter as he spoke to me. It was sick how turned on I was by this. The fear of Alice coming back had me working him good and fast. I could feel him twitch in my mouth before he pulled me forward shoving himself further down my throat as he came, coating my throat in him and forcing me to swallow.

"Perfect," he whispered as he released me and began redoing his pants. I quickly got off my knees and grabbed my bra and shirt off the bench throwing them on.

"I am just getting started with you baby." He said as he quickly kissed my temple and disappeared out of my dressing room.

I barely took a breath before I heard Alice re-emerge from the stock room and yell out to Edward that she had everything. I glanced at myself in the mirror and hardly recognized what I saw. There I stood with my skirt bunched up my waist, my t-shirt laying haphazardly over my hips and my hair in complete disarray from Edwards manhandling. My eyes were hooded with lust and my panties damp with arousal. Did I like this? Clearly I did, but was this even ok? I hardly knew this guy and already today I had done more with him than I had ever imagined. Before I entered this store I was imagining ways in which to avoid Edward and forget what happened in the clearing earlier. Now I was practically panting with need and wanting to repeat today's actions.

I shed the skirt and put my shorts back on as I gathered all of my uniform pieces and bag of thongs before going up to the counter to pay for my items. My breathing was finally under control as I paid for my uniform and Edward joined me at the counter.

"Isn't she great?" Alice asked Edward as she referred me. "How generous is she to be carting you around town so you can be ready for school tomorrow?"

"Oh, she is quite generous" Edward said meeting my eyes. "But I am sure I can repay her somehow." He raised his eyebrows at me as he goaded me on.

"Well, you keep an eye on her Edward, because she is too sweet for her own good." Alice said turning her back to us to bag all of Edwards's clothes.

"She certainly is," Edward said as he raised his fingers up to his mouth licking them. I was practically panting with need as he slowly pulled his fingers out of his mouth bringing them to my chin as he slowly raised it to close my mouth which hung open.

Alice bid us farewell and told us to let her know if there was anything else that we might need to just let her know. After exiting the store I threw my bags into the backseat of the Volvo before getting into the front seat. Edward was already seated when I closed the door and started the engine.

"I can practically smell you," he purred as I made my way through town headed back out towards our houses. "Who knew you would get so turned on like that." He said that last part in awe, as if he just discovered the Holy Grail.

"Edward, stop. I don't know what your deal is, but this is not happening…" I started.

"Oh it certainly is Bella," he growled. "And you're loving every minute of it, so stop pretending that you're some innocent victim here. I bet your soaking wet right now."

He didn't need to say anything further. I was practically sitting in a puddle. I avoided eye contact the entire way home and as I pulled into my driveway, I contemplated what I would say.

I didn't get very far before he leaned over, placed his hand high up on my thigh as he leaned into my ear and whispered "lets go for a swim".
