Chapter 9: Just Peachy
Bella moaned as Edward thrusted upward into her while sitting up in her bed in her room forty minutes later. She had her legs wrapped around his waist. She kissed him roughly. She pushed her tongue past his lips and into his mouth. He emitted a soft moan. She nuzzled his jaw before tracing it with her tongue. She licked at it. He moaned again, this time being louder.
She slid her hands down to his chest and rolled his nipples in her hands. He moaned quietly yet excitedly. She kissed his neck hungrily while moving her hands over his body. She traced every muscle that lined his back, chest, stomach, and arms. He growled intensely as he grabbed at her head. The fire within him was building to such a strong point that he thought he'd explode right there. He didn't doubt she was the same way.
Edward and Bella kissed fiercely, their tongues fighting each other for dominance. Loud groans came out of their mouths. He thrusted rougher and faster into her. The fire within them was reaching its peak. She grabbed fistfuls of his hair, a soft whimper leaving her mouth. They broke the kiss and stared deep into each other's eyes. Their eyes were glazed over with lust. They clenched their teeth.
"I feel it coming, Edward," she mumbled and swallowed hard.
"I do too, Bella," he hissed in fierceness. "Shit."
The lovebirds kissed long and hard. Edward took hold of Bella's hips and squeezed them hard. He wanted to do it harder, but he resisted it. He nuzzled her jawline before giving it a gentle blow. His thrusts increased in intensity and speed. Their climax was almost there. She leaned her head back at his alternating between sucking and nibbling on her neck. Her grip on his hair became tighter.
After what seemed like an eternity, Edward released himself into Bella. She echoed her release to him three seconds later. Their bodies trembled badly as they slipped their arms around each other. They looked into each other's eyes. She brought her hand up and stroked his cheek with her thumb. She formed a small smile on her face.
"That was amazing," Bella whispered in happiness.
"Yeah," Edward agreed. "I need more of you."
Edward began thrusting upward into Bella again. He kissed her very passionately while sliding his hands into her hair. She wrapped her legs around his waist a little more tightly. She groaned excitedly at his growing rougher and faster. He trailed kisses to her neck. He proceeded to nibble on it. This made her groan softly. He traced his tongue along it before giving it a gentle blow. He resisted the urge to bite down on her.
He brought his hands to her breasts. He fondled them slowly, almost as if he were teasing them. He rolled the nipples in his hands, hardening them. He pinched them hard, which caused her to gasp in delight. He took the right nipple into his mouth and rolled it with his tongue. She couldn't stop a moan from leaving her mouth. He gave the left nipple with the same amount of attention. He returned to her neck to kiss it.
She kissed his shoulder before tracing it with her tongue. She nibbled on his neck and gave it a rough suck. She traveled to his ear. She proceeded to trace it with her tongue. He tried to hold back a moan, but he couldn't help himself. She made her way to his neck, smothering it with hungry kisses. She nibbled on it very gently. He leaned his head back, letting out a loud groan. The fire began to build within them.
"Oh, Bella," Edward said in huskiness. He groaned at her licking at his neck. "Oh, you better not stop!"
"Never, Edward," Bella responded. "I promise you that."
She pulled back and kissed him passionately. She moved her hands over his body steadily. She slowed it down while growing lustfully. It was almost as if she were teasing him. She kissed his shoulder before licking at it. She returned to his neck to nibble on it. He growled intensely as he slid his hands into her hair. The fire within him was building to such a strong point that he thought he would lose it right there. He had little doubt it was doing the same in her.
He emitted an intense growl. He pulled back and kissed her hard. He plunged his tongue into her mouth, making her moan. He hissed loudly, his thrusting becoming rougher and faster. The fire in him was reaching its peak. He slid a hand between them to massage her clit. He smiled into her mouth as she groaned in excitement. He pulled away from her and looked into her eyes. He clenched his teeth.
"Come for me, Bella," Edward growled fiercely and flared his nostrils. "I want to feel you come."
Edward upped the speed and intensity of his thrusting. He and his girlfriend wrapped their arms tightly around each other. Moans came out of their mouths. Their climax was almost at its peak. He buried his face into her neck. He kissed it as he grabbed at her hair. She leaned her head to the side in which she gave him better access. She screamed in much ecstasy. She grabbed his shoulders as if trying to keep herself from falling into the abyss.
He thrusted one last time into her in which it triggered her climax. She came with a soft moan. He reached his, coming with a soft sigh. Their bodies trembled so much that it seemed they wouldn't be able to stop. He eased her off him. He laid on his side, as did she on hers. They faced each other. He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. She sighed in much content. He played with a strand of her hair. They clicked their tongues three times.
"What an unbelievable lovemaking session," Edward said with a laugh.
"You said it," Bella agreed. "The best part was we did it twice in just fifteen minutes."
"Talk about our drive being on fire," Edward responded in delight. "I just had to have you again when we got in here. Unlike you, I do not have to worry about getting tired at all."
"I know," Bella agreed. "Dad talked about sex during pregnancy with Jules and Kylie Spork while dining at O'Charley's last year. His friends were expecting their first child. They mentioned several sex positions they wanted to try as she got into the later months."
"That is really interesting," Edward said in much warmth.
She frowned. "An elderly couple happened to be walking by and overheard them. They stopped in their tracks and ranted about how God demanded all couples refrain from sex once the wives were discovered to be pregnant. If they didn't, the children would be damned." She shuddered in disgust.
"I don't recall the Bible having a passage about couples refraining from sex while the wives were pregnant. Who are these people making up their own beliefs about God?" Edward asked as he shook his head in disbelief.
"I have no idea," Bella said, giving a shrug. "It doesn't make sense at all."
"I can safely say they are crazy," Edward whispered and rolled his eyes.
"Oh, yeah," Bella agreed.
He licked his lips. "In my day, premarital sex was frowned upon. A woman was considered damaged goods if she lost her virginity before marriage. It does not apply to today as much."
"I don't mind if people believe having sex and children before marriage is wrong. However, that doesn't give them the right to force that belief on others. I just want to scream in the faces of everyone who tries to force their beliefs down my throat," Bella grumbled irritatingly.
"I do too," Edward said. "At the same time, that is what they want. They like getting mad and accusing others of being intolerant of their beliefs."
Bella ran her hand over his hair. "It irritates me when people complain someone is intolerant of their beliefs when they won't tolerate their right not to follow them."
Edward snorted. "I can tell you one thing. Those who try to force their beliefs on others are destined for a lonely existence."
He kissed the tip of her nose before tapping it with his finger. She ran her hand over his chest. She moved it to his cheek and stroked it with the back of her hand.
"Have you ever thought of going skinny-dipping, Edward?" she wondered.
"Yes, I have, but I have never done it. Have you thought of doing it yourself?" he replied.
"I have, but I have never done it," Bella said, shaking her head. "I never saw myself making love in a shower."
"Nor did I," Edward admitted and ran his fingers through her hair. "I am so glad I did that."
"I am too," Bella commented, kissing his lips. "Oh, yes."
She planted a kiss to his lips and rubbed noses with him. He kissed the tip of hers lightly. She flicked his chin twice before tapping it with her finger repeatedly. He raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"What are you trying to do, tap my chin off?" Edward wondered.
"I guess I am," Bella admitted and spoke gibberish. "Once I tap it off, I will put it on top of your head."
"Bring it on," Edward growled playfully. "I would love a chin hat."
"I remember the Ren and Stimpy segment called 'Space Madness.' Cadet Stimpy's constant tapping drove Commander Hoek bonkers," Bella said, laughing aloud.
"I remember that part very well. I laughed at it every time," Edward commented and smiled widely.
"The best part was where Stimpy pressed the history eraser button after the narrator kept tormenting him over it," Bella commented.
"It removed him, Ren, and everyone else from existence," Edward said. "It made me laugh so hard. If I was human, it would have made my sides hurt."
"It made my sides hurt when I laughed that hard," Bella said, blowing a raspberry. "Humans do have to be careful because they can die from laughter."
"It is a rare form of death," Edward admitted. "It usually resulted from cardiac arrest or asphyxiation. It has been recorded since ancient times." He gasped in much awe.
"In 1989, a Danish audiologist named Ole Bentzen observed a screening of the 1988 comedy film A Fish Called Wanda. He laughed uncontrollably at a scene where Michael Palin's character had food stuffed into his nose and mouth," Bella whispered and swallowed hard. "It got to the point that his heartrate rose to two hundred fifty to five hundred beats per minute. This led to a fatal heart attack." She cringed badly. "Talk about crazy laughter."
"On March 24, 1975, Alex Mitchell died laughing while watching The Goodies episode called 'Kung Fu Kapers.' It featured a kilt-clad Scotsman with his bagpipes battling a master of the Lancastrian martial art 'Eckythump,' who was armed with a black pudding. Alex laughed uncontrollably for twenty-five minutes before he finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure. His widow later sent The Goodies a letter. It thanked them for making his final moments of life so pleasant," Edward pointed out. "That was even crazier laughter."
"This world is full of so many amazing things," Bella murmured, sighing softly. "We will never see them all."
He ran his fingers through her hair. He twirled a strand of it around his finger and clicked his tongue three times.
"Have you ever had your hair longer than it is now?" he wondered.
"I have had my hair past my middle back. That was when I was a preteen," she admitted warmly. "I loved having my hair up in a ponytail or braided. I still do."
"Nice," Edward responded and pinched her chin.
"What about you? Has your hair ever been longer than it is now?" Bella asked, raising her eyebrows.
"My hair actually has been longer than it is now," Edward said with much pride. "It never got to the point that I was wearing it in a ponytail. In my day, men were supposed to have short hair. Long hair was considered girly."
Bella shook her head in disbelief. "Just because a guy has long hair and wears it in a ponytail doesn't mean he looks like a girl."
"That is what I have told boys over the last several decades. They refused to listen," Edward grumbled annoyingly.
"I don't give a shit what anyone says. I think long hair makes a boy look really sexy," Bella said, twirling a strand of his hair around her finger.
"I think short hair makes a girl look really sexy," Edward said, kissing her forehead. "I have a pair of scissors at home. If you ever want me to cut your hair. Let me know. I will be more than willing to do it." He winked at her.
"Okay," Bella answered as she held out her hand. "You can cut my hair as long as I can style yours. Is it deal?"
Bella took it and shook it. "It is a deal. Just don't let your hair come to life and eat us."
"Don't worry. I won't," Bella assured, feeling him release his hold on her. "Perhaps I could whip you with my hair."
"Only if you will let me whip you with mine," Edward teased.
"Sure," Bella shouted and ruffled his hair. She laughed at his swatting her hand aside. "Are you scared I might rub all of your hair off?"
"Yeah," Edward said, nodding sharply. "If you touch my hair again, I will bite your hands off."
She scoffed in much sarcasm. "I am so scared."
He laughed in an evil-sounding voice. "You should be."
Bella gave Edward a light smack to his cheek. He waved his hand in front of her face. He raised it high before jerking it downward. She slapped his other cheek. He rushed two fingers forward, only for her to block him by putting her hand sideways. She pushed his downward. They tried to hold back laughs, but they couldn't help themselves.
"I just love doing that Three Stooges routine," Bella said with much glee.
"As do I," Edward responded and tickled her nose. "I always enjoy watching The Three Stooges. My favorite is Curly."
"He is my favorite Stooge too," Bella murmured and sighed in much warmth. "I love how he has the 'indestructible' head. Any object that struck it would break into pieces." She imitated the sound of an explosion.
"Nice imitation of an explosion," Edward complimented in much sweetness.
"Why, thank you," Bella said in a prideful voice. "It was also funny when Curly would pivot on his shoulder and 'walk' in a circular motion."
"It sure was," Edward commented. "I've tried doing that many times and could never get it right." He gave a shrug. "I may be a vampire, but I can't do everything."
"I couldn't get that move right when I tried it either," Bella said while rubbing her nose. She sighed heavily and frowned somewhat. "I will be glad I can still watch The Three Stooges after I become a vampire. Whenever it happens, that is."
"The best part about being a vampire is witnessing important events in history," Edward commented.
"I cannot help but wonder what I will see once I am one," Edward said, smiling lightly. "One thing is clear. It will be great spending eternity with you."
He cupped her chin in his hand and kissed her forehead. He kept his lips there for thirty seconds before pulling away. He touched her cheek and stroked it with his thumb.
"Let's go downstairs and hang out there," Edward suggested.
"Okay," Bella agreed and sat up along with him. They got out of bed and gathered their clothes. They proceeded to get dressed.
