Chapter 5...Taste
******************************************************
"I let a slow smile spread across my face and with a sigh I placed my head just under his chin resting my head against his stone marble chest. It was over, everything was okay. God I was so dramatic! He brushed the back of my hair stroking it softly. We were quiet like this for a while, before I decided to break the silence.
"So Mr. Cullen. How about that kiss?" I asked low and husky breaking away from his embrace to look at him.
My breath left my lungs, I had never seen such a beautiful smile, then what Edward had at that very exact moment…."
************************************************
EPOV
My stomach coiled and twisted painfully, Bella's deep chocolate brown eyes stared lovingly at me through a hood of thick dark lashes, inviting me in, waiting. I wanted this...I wanted this bad. I desperately wanted to know the taste of her sweet warm mouth, I wanted to feel her wet warm tongue wrap around my cold one, I wanted to know.
Her thighs clenched around my waist bringing me closer against her small warm figure, and my stomach gave another painful jerk. Her tiny delicate hands wrapped around the back of my neck, and played with short hair that rested at my hairline. She tilting her face up towards mine, her full pouty lips were waiting to be ravished. She stared dazedly back at me through hooded lashes, a lazy smile spread across her beautiful angel like face.
The smell of her was intoxicating, the tiny bathroom gave me no room to breathe, and my lungs were filled with nothing but her. The sharp tang of venom pooled in my mouth, and I had to swiftly gulp down the excessive amount. The venom did nothing to soothe the dry burning ache in my parched throat, I knew the only way too soothe the ache was with the warm thickness of fresh blood. There was no doubt in my mind that my eyes reflected my current state of hunger, I needed to think of anything but if we were going to get anywhere. Bella's eyes closed as she leaned in closer, her lips just a mere fraction of an inch away from mine. I wanted to feel her, I wanted her.
My body was beginning to boil at an impossible level, I knew I was heading into dangerous territory. It was too much. My control was barely teetering on a normal level, but with Bella being in such a close proximity it was damn near existent. The thought of not kissing her was something I couldn't phantom either, but not here, not right now. The idea of passionately kissing my fiancée in her father's upstairs bathroom wasn't appealing to my taste either. The way I had originally planned to kiss her was in my room, on my golden bed. I wanted to claim her, I wanted the scent of her to be left on my sheets for weeks, and I wanted my room drenched in her scent so I can smell her for weeks to come. I wanted to see Bella spread out on my bed, her beautiful hair spread delicately across the pillow, her hands balling in fist as she moaned my name. The painful twitch in my stomach brought me back from my daydreaming, and I mentally cursed myself for letting my mind wander to dangerous things. I couldn't, shouldn't! Think of her in such appealing visions if I was going to remain in control.
Bella's eyes closed as she leaned in closer, her lips were just a mere fraction away from my cold ones. I wanted to feel her, I wanted it now. No longer able to resist the urge to touch her, I grabbed the side of Bella's face with a low defeated growl and started a trail of slow hot opened mouth kisses underneath her jaw and down the line of her throat careful to keep my razor sharp teeth away from her fragile delicate skin. A strangled sob and shiver escaped Bella's mouth, and she pulled me closer towards her body. Her breath was hot in my ear sighing lightly, sending a pulse of electricity through my veins. I moaned against her skin as her tiny hands clenched my waist and brought me even closer to her burning body. My body felt drunk as she softly sighed against my ear and trailed her hands underneath my cotton shirt and up my back. Her taste was incredible, sweet and innocent, my eyes clenched tighter, and my throat ripped into flames, the thought of tasting her sweet blood was irresistible. She was irresistible!
"Edward kiss me...Please" She begged breathlessly, her tiny hands left my back and wound through my dishelved hair pulling me tighter against her neck. Hearing her breathy moan nearly sent me over the edge, and I had to pause to keep myself in check before continuing my path of kisses up towards her ear.
The moment was perfect. I could kiss her then and there, give her everything we both wanted and more, but the location was all wrong! It couldn't be like this! She didn't deserve to be kissed passionately sitting on her father's bathroom sink; she needed to be comfortable; we both did. I needed some fresh air.
"Not yet my love." I whispered, I took her earlobe in my mouth and sucked gently. I felt Bella's body shudder in response, I knew she would like that.
"Why not?" She asked breathlessly again with a hint of hoarseness edging her tone. I could tell she was in no mood to be told no, but this couldn't go any farther. I started my line of kisses down her throat again, more slower this time, taking my time.
"Because..." kiss."I don't really..." kiss. "Feel like kissing..." kiss. "My fiancée..." kiss. "In her father's..." kiss. "Upstairs bathroom..."
"Edward..." Her protest started, but I quickly silenced her lips with a serious earth shattering kiss. She moaned loudly against my mouth and clung tighter to me. Fireworks shot behind my eyelids. Our lips moved in synch, the perfect match. Her taste was sweet and warm, the urge to sweep my tongue in her mouth to taste her further was too strong, but I wasn't ready, not yet. Her tiny moan clouded my senses, and I kissed her lips harder drawing me impossibly further into her mouth. The feeling was indescribable; the urge to taste her further was overwhelming my control, my demons that laid dormant for a while came back full force, screaming for pleasure and blood. Control was the last thing on my mind when Bella kissed me like this, her lips were hot and demanding, and I couldn't refuse. The need for this creature was becoming increasingly difficult to refuse, but I must, I had to, for Bella, my love.
I kissed her long and hard before I tore my mouth away so she could take a breath. Our foreheads rested against each other, our breaths mingled together as our lungs tried to keep up with our wild gasps for air.
"That...wasn't...the kiss...that I was...hoping...for." Bella gasped out between breaths, her hands were limp around my neck, relying on me for support. A small laugh escape my lungs, will she ever be satisfied?!
"To be perfectly honest Bella, I was hoping we could do that part on my bed instead." I whispered huskily against her flush skin, kissing the tip of her nose, surprised that I came across as teasing through my frantic pants for air. I heard Bella's heartbeat flutter like wings on a hummingbird at the mention of the word "bed". Her eyes widen and her hands moved from my hair to push lightly against my chest.
"Oh...Lets go then." Bella said excitedly a wide smile crossing her beautiful face. I laughed heartily at her eagerness, and swooped my fiancée
Up from the counter and ran into her bedroom bridal style. Bella let of a surprised gasp, laughing wildly, I paused for a second to swipe up her overnight bag and flung that over my shoulder, and the next second we were out the window.
****************************************************
It was....Silent...A little too silent...
It irked me to not hear anything in the house. I was so used to the hum of voices surround me whenever I came in, knowing of everyone's whereabouts, but now nothing. It wasn't something I think I would like to get used to. The silence infuriated me even more in the fact I couldn't hear Bella's thoughts as she walked through the large cold dark empty living room. I desperately wanted to know the thoughts running through her mind. I would never know if she was scared, or overjoyed. I only could heavily rely on her communication to tell me what was wrong, and right now I was begging for it. I watched her from behind as she traveled further into the darkness, I followed closely behind, so close that her back was almost touching my front. Too any normal human being this would probably be disconcerting, but Bella showed no fear as she walked further into the house.
'Damn it all, why couldn't we have a lamp closer?!' I inwardly cursed. The dark was no difference to us than light would be, we could see just as easily.
"Stay here." I whispered behind Bella stilling her movements with my hands, she obeyed. The next second there was light, and my breath caught as her beauty momentarily stunned me. Bella stood in the middle of the living room, hugging herself to guard the chill. Her hair was disheveled as cascaded in soft waves down her back. Her face was flushed; her lips were wet and tinged with a deep pink that matched the flush of her cheeks. She was stunning. It took all of my power to not take her then and there.
The simple white cotton thermal she was wearing clung to her supple shape, accentuating her form perfectly. The denim jeans fit tightly around the flair of her hips and down her thighs. I noticed Bella's brows furrow in confusion as she saw my gawking like a perverted youth.
"What?" She demanded, glancing down at her appearance. I had to smile in spite of myself, she was too adorable. I shook my head as I walked towards her, still confusedly looking down at her body. I put a finger under her chin and forced her gaze up towards mine and her puzzled expression disappeared the instant our eyes met. Her warm chocolate brown eyes peered back into my black lifeless ones; white hot lust seemed to burn through my very core, charging the atmosphere around us to an unbearable level.
"You're beautiful." I whispered looking sincerely into her lovely warm chocolate eyes. Bella cleared her throat nervously, and a small smile played at the corners of her lips. She bit her lip before responding.
"You are too." She whispered back silently. The tiniest hint of a smile graced my lips before I bent down to place a sweet slow kiss against her warm lips. Bella shivered lightly against my body, and I instantly broke away, my brows crinkling in concern.
"You're frozen." I stated simply. I was such an idiot! How could I be so selfish and not think of her needs? Of course this dark house would be like walking in Antarctica in the winter.
"No, no, I'm fine really." She tried to reassure tugging my body back to hers. I wouldn't budge; there was no way my frozen lifeless form would touch hers at this moment. I had to admit the reminder of keeping Bella warm was a good way to keep my self control in tact and not pounce on her like a hormonal 17 year old boy. I unwound her arms from around my waist and held her hands firmly at her sides.
"Not yet love, lets get you warm."
"I know of one way." She suggested seductively trying to wrap her arms around my waist again. I eyed her warily, clearly not amused. Before Bella could advance any further I was at the other side of the room turning on the thermostat, excessive amounts of dust had settled and I wasn't even sure if this thing worked. I prayed silently before I switched it on to a comfortable seventy five degrees. A second later and I heard the water heater crank to life and warm air was blowing lightly through the vents.
"Edward you worry too much." Bella sighed walking over to me, she was about to wrap her arms around my back before I quickly grabbed the overthrow off the leather couch and wrapped it around her tightly. Her eyes rolled and she made a frustrated sigh. I laughed at her comic display before wrapping my arms around her swathed body and rubbed her arms slowly, creating friction for heat. Bella shivered again, but for entirely different reasons this time.
A silence fell over us as we stayed comfortable in each others arms, perfectly content. I was relieved that my body had calmed down to a bearable level, creating a peaceful calm. The room slowly started to get a comfortable temperature, but I tugged the blanket back in place as she attempted to dislodge it.
"Edward, I'm warm enough!" She groaned trying to shuffle off my restraining hands. She tried to worm back into my embrace but I stopped her cold.
"Nice try little one, It's still far too cold for me yet."
Bella stomped her foot impatiently. "Edward! Come on! I need some kind of physical contact here!"
"In a little bit love." I reassured gracing the back of my hand along her cheek. Bella let out a loud huff and glanced around the room hopelessly, and then threw herself down onto the couch.
"Alright." She began. "I promise to keep this stupid blanket on, only if you hold me, deal?"
I considered this, for a second. "And if you don't agree, then I'm just going to take off all my clothes and shiver to death!"
She threatened. I had to pause a second to banish the wonderful vision of Bella lying naked on the couch.
"As you wish." I said grudgingly with a smile on my face. Bella snuggled contently on my side as I laid down on one of the corners, her blanket formed perfectly around her trapping the warmth.
"I wonder if we're going to have to make deals all the time now." I teased brushing a stray strand of hair away from her face, as she glanced up at me.
"Only if you keep on being a jerk." She retorted. I laughed through a toothy grin and kissed her forehead, careful to not let my cold lips linger, she didn't complain.
I reached for the television remote on the nightstand, hoping to find something that would occupy our time through the thawing process. Nothing horribly entertaining was on, but we settled on a independent romantic comedy that had us both laughing at certain moments. Time passed, and we were nearly halfway through the movie when I felt Bella's warm lips against my stone neck. My body tensed under her touch, feeling like she had never kissed me before. That familiar urge was climbing back into my body, twisting and turning its way through my veins causing sparks at each end. I closed my eyes and relished in the feel of her warm mouth trailing hott kisses along my jaw and throat. Heaven. I nearly shredded the blanket under my hands as her clever little mouth made it's way up to kiss and nibble my ear.
"Is it okay to come out now? I'm burning up under here." She whispered huskily in my ear blowing her sweet breath against my cold ear. She was burning up?! I was practically a furnace underneath her touch. My mouth went slack and refused to form words against the feel of her warm wet tongue sweep along the rim of my ear. I moaned encouragingly and nodded my head lightly, not ever wanting the intense pleasure to stop. The slide and brush of fabric rang in my ear, and she slowly peeled it away from under her body, freeing her devilish hands entirely. Bella sighed in pleasure and shivered against the sudden rush of air. Undeterred, She started tracing her tiny hands down to my waist and along my ribcage continuing this cycle until her hands traced fire along my skin. Her innocent mouth moved down to my collarbone, kissing the indent. The venom pooled and I had to suck in a quick breath against the shock of pleasure. She was killing me.
"Bella." It came out as a breathy moan, both disapproving and encouraging at the same time. Only a sigh escaped her lips not paying any attention, her hands traced lower to my hip, and down to the couch underneath us anchoring herself up to slowly crawl over my body. The ache was starting to build in my stomach again, the clench of muscles was becoming painful. Her kisses became quick and more serious now against my throat, suckling the most sensitive spot she knew I liked. My eyes rolled back in my head as her warm tiny hands edged underneath the collar of my shirt and rested innocently against my bare shoulder.
Bella's legs shyly start brush over mine, positioning her body more on top of mine. I lost all thought at the feel of her leg grace slowly up the side of my thigh. The feel of her warm body against mine started to cloud my senses, her thigh reached just below the place where it ached the most, tantalizing me dangerously. The need to have her press against that certain area was overwhelming, just a feel, I reassured myself. Selfishly wanting to feel the contact, I traced down to her thigh and without warning I pulled Bella up against me so that she was straddling my waist.
We both let out a growl of satisfaction as our bodies connected intimately. Bella's face was overwhelmed with pleasure and shock, pressing herself tighter against me. I gripped her thigh tighter against me, but careful to not apply too much pressure. She looked at me then; her warm chocolate brown eyes were rife with uncertainty. Bella was usually the one who conducted such an action, but this time, I was the one who could handle it. She stared deeply into my pitch black eyes as she slowly as if testing, brought her body higher against mine, resting more of her weight on top of me. A slow drawn out wave of pleasure coursed through my body, and a low growl of approval rumbled in my chest. My eyes shut tightly against the feel of her warm body pressing intimately against mine, and for the first time I was okay. My control weakened slightly, but I was able to hold on. Her warm lips slowly move back against the corners of my mouth, my chin, and jaw, testing the waters. The demons that were screaming for murder had now slowed down to a soft murmur. The undeniable need to take her had simmered down to a mere ache.
I was ready.
When her lips touched the corner of my mouth once again I quickly turned my head to the side to catch her mouth against mine. Bella let out a moan of approval and moved her lips hurriedly against mine, hott and eager. I obliged twining my hands through her hair and bringing our mouths impossibly closer. I angled her head slightly more so I could deepen. The new angle had my mind reeling, the feel and taste of her sweet mouth was so intoxicating. Bella molded herself against me harder pressing her hot core against mine, and I moaned and shivered against her mouth. Her nimble fingers twined into the back of my head, bringing my mouth hard against hers. That overwhelming need to forcefully grab her body against mine flared and burned uncontrollable, it was becoming too much. My mind was screaming to stop but my hands had a mind of their own as they grabbed the back of her thighs encouraging them to move forward against my lower half again. Bella head through back in a gasp as the pleasure of the friction washed over her in an intense wave. Yes, yes, my demons screamed suddenly screamed, alive and awake again. Her hands roamed along my chest and stomach leaving a trail of fire in it's wake.
Bella scooted closer up my body and our kiss broke once again in equal sighs of pleasure. My name was a breathy name on her lips before she brought our mouths back together more intensely than I ever thought possible. An electric current was coursing through my body, the feel and sound of her heartbeat thrumming against my chest was urging me on faster and faster. This needed to stop! The answer was all too apparent when Bella's warm hot wet tongue swept along my bottom lips begging for entrance. A shock of white hott pleasure coursed through my body, and my mouth opened in shock, Bella's tongue wasted no time and swept into my mouth. Her warm tongue snuck passed my teeth and just graced the tip of my cold one.
She had broken our promise.
Flashes of red shot crossed my vision; there was pounding in my ears, not the pound of her heart, but the pound of her sweet hot blood pulsing in her arteries. For a fraction of a second I moved my tongue along hers. Fire and ice moved as one, and I growled ferociously. Bella moaned into my mouth as she felt my response tasting me slowly. That pulse pounded in my head, so loud I couldn't hear her breathy moans nor her heartbeat. I was terrified!! NO! NO! Not yet! My mind screamed, I wrenched my mouth away from hers.
"NO!"
"Sorry sorry sorry.." Bella's instant breathless apologies against my lips, holding my head in place. Our pants of air synched together as our chests heaved. Her sweet swollen pink lips were too close to my face, I needed to get away, I needed to breathe, her scent was too overpowering. I closed my eyes tightly and shoved my head back against the couch cushion waiting to catch my breath waiting for the overwhelming desire to die down. Bella let my head go instantly, and scooted herself further down my body, not completely off, but just enough to let my breath. Bella didn't move, she stayed straddled against my waist; her chest heaved giant puffs of air. I felt her hand grace my chest before she wretched it away, forgetting to give me some space.
I didn't know how much time had passed before I was able to breathe regularly again. The venom in my mouth stopped producing, and my tense muscles started to relax. I risked a chance glance at Bella, opening just one eye. She stood over me, panting lightly still, her hair was in a wild disarray, causing a halo-like glow around her beautiful face. Her cheeks and skin were stained with a heavy flush, she looked beautiful. How could I not kiss this beautiful creature?! Although, her impatient mind got the best of her, I still loved her, and in that instant I realized how unfair to her I've been. She had been more than patient with me in our relationship, giving me time while I gave her nothing in return.
I was selfish.
Bella let out a surprised gasp as I sat up and made a grab for her waist. Defensively her hands shot between us to restrain against my chest, unsure. I grabbed a handful of her wavy chocolate brown hair and kissed the spot under her jaw where her blood pumped quickly.
"My room." I simply stated, swiftly kissing my way up and down her neck. Bella whimpered against my kiss and moved her hands from my chest to my hair, tugging on the ends gently. When I looked back into her eyes, they reflected uncertainty, excitement, fear. Her heartbeat fluttered and pumped nervously.
"Are you sure? I-I mean... Are you ready?" She asked, unbelieving of my eagerness. I smiled her favorite crooked grin and quicker than she could blink I swooped down to pick up her tiny form bridal style again. Bella let out a surprised gasp and clung around my neck. The crooked grin never left my face as I started at normal human pace towards the stairs.
"I think I've kept you waiting long enough my love."
"Well, I'm not going to argue with that."
I laughed heartily at her response, and in not so normal human speed, I ran up the stairs to my room...
