Disclaimer: Don't own it…just love it!
I had an overwhelming response from the last chapter…nothing but love. I did have my first reader who disagreed with Bella & Alice's friendship and decided that my story was no longer of interest to said reader. I truly appreciate all kinds of reviews so that's why I was able to truly accept their thoughts and not have hard feelings. Like I said above…I have nothing but love and appreciation for my readers and reviewers.
In this chapter we're going to pick up right where the last one left off. Just a note, we are going to start jumping ahead more as the story gets ready to come to a close. Maybe after another two chapters we will jump ahead even more.
So here goes…you know the drill. R&R and that'll put a smile on my face.
Musical Inspiration for Chapter 22
"So High" by John Legend
"No Ordinary Love" by Sade
Previously on Storm Before the Calm…
After he put the ring on my finger I pulled him to me to hug and kiss him. We held each other for a little while before he picked me up bridal style and placed me on the bed…after removing my robe. He joined me a few seconds later. Although I said I needed to recover from our activities from earlier, I needed Edward to be inside of me. He made love to me slowly, while whispering sweet words in my ear and kissing me in all the places he could reach from our position. After we were done he spooned behind me and we drifted off into a sweet oblivion.
As the beautiful sunshine blazed through the picture window in front of the bed, basking Edward and I with its beautiful rays of light…the events of the previous night ran through my head.
It feels almost like a dream, until I look at the beautiful ring on my right-hand. My parents and our friends are going to freak when they see it. I wouldn't dream of hiding it either, so I'm willing to deal with whatever comments they have to offer. I snuggled more into Edward's warmth and closed my eyes…trying to get a little more sleep before we start our day. I was certain that Edward had a well-planned out agenda for us to do while we're here in this beautiful place.
Two hours later the feeling of Edward's lips wrapped around my right nipple awoke me. He was so focused on his task that he didn't realize that I was no longer asleep. I watched him intently for a few seconds before the pleasure overtook my senses. I moaned out his name, which in turn caught his attention.
"Good morning love," he said momentarily detaching his mouth from my nipple.
"Mmmm Edward…don't stop," I commanded.
He went right back to it, switching back and forth between both breasts. He moved further down, not even stopping along the way before reaching his final destination. He spread my legs wide for him and lowered his face to my core and loving me thoroughly with his tongue. I had two orgasms by the time he was done licking me.
When he was done, he moved back up and layed along side of me…wrapping his one arm across my waist and propping himself up with his other, while staring in my eyes. He was smiling my favorite crooked smile.
"Edward…what the fuck? Why aren't you fucking me right now," I asked in disbelief.
"That wasn't my intention to start with love. I just wanted to soothe you because I know you were sore last night. I don't want to overdue it because we have a full day today," he explained.
"Oh hell no…you are going to fuck me and you're going to fuck me now! We are in this beautiful room, lying in this amazing bed, after having the most wonderful night and you want to go noble on me all of a sudden. No Mister…not gone happen. Get your sexy ass over here and love me properly," I demanded.
I think he was a little stunned by my rant, because he just stared at me with his mouth slightly agape. Then out of nowhere his features became twisted and dark. I almost was afraid, but I knew that he would never do anything to hurt me…so my fears were unfounded.
"I love it when you get all dominant on me," he declared in a low husky voice.
"You want me to fuck you Bella?"
"Y…yes," I stuttered.
"I don't think you heard me correctly. Do you want me to fuck you Bella?"
"Yes Edward, please fuck me."
"Turn around and get on all fours so I can fuck you senseless."
I felt a pool of liquid in between my legs…even though I just had two orgasms, I could feel the wetness run down my thighs at his words. I quickly turned around and got on all fours. I felt Edward move behind me and hold on to my waist. He didn't enter me at first...he just stalled there.
"Tell me Bella…who's pussy is this?"
"Yours."
He brought his right hand down roughly onto my right buttocks, causing me to jump slightly at the sting of his slap.
"I really need to hear you say it out loud. Say it!"
"It's yours Edward…all yours baby," I cried out in pleasure.
In one swift move he plowed right into my depths. We both moaned out at the pleasure of our union. Edward didn't waste any time setting a rhythm. He was fucking me hard and I was loving it. I knew that I would pay the ultimate price later. I probably would definitely be walking like I have a stick up my ass (shoutout to tw-i-see-light for giving me that idea).
"Don't you fucking cum yet," Edward roared. "You cum when I fucking tell you, you can. Do you hear me Bella?"
"Yes baby…but I'm so close Edward," I moaned out.
"Wait until I say you can or I'm going to have to punish you," he threatened.
"Oh it feel so good, mmmm, baby don't stop," I encouraged.
"Now Bella…cum now!"
Together we came and collapsed on the bed.
Edward recovered first. "Bella, I didn't hurt you did I? I'm so sorry if I was too forceful with you…you just got me so aroused. I won't do anything like that again if you don't want me to," he said sounding ashamed.
"That was amazing Edward. I loved it all, so please don't say you won't do again. I want you to do it more if anything else."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it love. I did too…immensely so."
"Let's shower and get dressed. I know you have to be hungry and I need some coffee. I'll tell you what I have planned for us to do today over breakfast."
An hour later we were sitting in the great room of the Bed & Breakfast enjoying our cups of coffee and apple cinnamon muffins. After we get through eating we are heading over to Sequim and going to Cascade mall. Edward wants to hit up a few stores and I do need to get a few things to surprise Edward with.
Thirty minutes later we were seated in Edward's Vanquish heading over to the mall. I'm not a big mall person, but when there are things that I want…I have no problem with going to the mall to get them. Plus, I'd go anywhere with Edward…as long as we are together.
Once inside the mall we checked out the directory to see where the stores that we were interested in visiting were located. The only two stores that I needed to go in were right across the hall from one another, while only one of the stores Edward was looking for was near my stores and the other was way at the other end of the mall.
We opted to go to the furthest store first and then on to the ones that are close together. When we walked into Hot Topic it was booming with customers. Edward held tight to my hand and moved us through the chaos of people smoothly. We headed to the back of the store where the T-shirts were located. Edward picked out a few band tees and some shorts before heading up to the register to pay for his purchases.
Once we were done there we headed to the other end of the mall where I decided to separate from Edward to go get the things that I was interested in. He went inside of Aeropostale while I headed over to Victoria Secrets. I tried on a few pieces of lingerie and picked out some panty and bra sets before making my way to the checkout. I quickly paid for my purchases before heading over across the hall to Bath & Body Works.
I picked up some Black Amethyst, Midnight Pomegranate, & Sheer Freesia body wash, body cream and body mist. Those are my all time favorites. I just needed to stock up on my bath products before heading back home. I also bought some Dream Angels Divine and Desire body mist while I was in Victoria's Secrets. I wanted to wear Desire tonight for Edward, because I know it's one his favorite fragrances on me and it'll drive him wild.
I met him over in Aeropostale where he was trying on some jeans. He can be such a girl sometimes, but I think it comes from having Alice as a sister and her always wanting to dress him. He finally finished up after trying on another three pairs of jeans. He purchased all five pair of jeans he tried on, along with two polo shirts and three button-down shirts. We were finally ready to leave the mall.
Since it's lunchtime, Edward suggested we go get something to eat. I was hungry so I was down for that. We pulled up to Cedar Creek Restaurant and headed inside. It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The hostess led us to a quaint little table off towards the back of the restaurant. She gave us our menus and told us our waitress would be with us momentarily.
I looked over the menu before deciding to ask Edward a question that had been plaguing my mind since we arrived here.
"Edward…have you been here before," I asked him as I watched his facial expressions.
He didn't hesitate or seem uncomfortable as he answered my question. "Yes my family and I stopped here for dinner when we were traveling here from Alaska. I thought the food was exquisite and thought you would like to eat here. Do you not like it here Bella? If not, we can go someplace else," he said sincerely.
"No…no, we don't need to go anyplace else. I was just curious that's all. You just seem to know your way around places we go so easily, for someone who's only lived here a short period of time. That's my only reason for asking. I apologize if I offended you," I said sheepishly.
"You didn't offend me. I just wanted to be sure you were comfortable eating here…that's all."
Our waiter came to the table at that moment, so our conversation ceased for the moment.
"Hello and welcome to Cedar Creek, my name is Annabel and I will be your server today. May I start you off with something to drink," she asked.
I ordered a sprite and Edward went with a coke. We also ordered our meal as well. Wild Mushroom Ravioli Carbonara for me and Chicken w/Spinach Cannelloni for Edward.
We shared polite conversation while we waited for our food. Basically discussing how we plan to spend our summer vacation and then preparing for our senior year in the fall. I was anxious to be a senior, because I was ready to be done with high school. Edward and I are both applying to Dartmouth, as well as a few other colleges. Whichever college we both get into…that's where we're going to go. If it's more than one, we're going with the one furthest away from Forks.
Our food arrived and we ate quietly…only speaking here and there. We shared a Mocha Semifreddo for dessert, before Edward paid the check and we left to head back to the B&B.
We were going out to a nightclub later that evening to check out a few bands that are playing there tonight. We still have several hours before we needed to get ready for that, so I decided that I wanted to take a nice relaxing bath and just relax and watch a movie with Edward until we needed to get ready and leave.
When we got back to our room, I hid my lingerie and underwear inside of my suitcase so Edward wouldn't see it. I left my bath products inside of the shopping bag and just set it on the floor in the closest next to my suitcase. Edward asked me if I would mind putting his clothing away for him while he stepped out to check on something. I told him I didn't mind and gave him a kiss before he left the room. Twenty minutes later he was back with a big stupid grin on his face.
"Bella…would you mind coming with me please," he asked while holding out his hand for me to take.
"Sure, but where are you taking me," I asked knowing he probably wouldn't tell me.
"You'll see in a moment, just hold tight," he said.
He led me into the great room and over to a baby grand that was nestled away in the corner of the room. I don't know how I missed that baby sitting there, but I was shocked looking at it as he led us over to it. He sat down on the bench and patted the seat for me to sit next to him.
"The innkeeper said that it was alright for me to play the piano and it just so happens that no one else is here at the inn right now…so I won't be disturbing anyone with the song I'm gong to play."
"What song is that," I asked a bit nervously.
"It's a song that I've been tinkering around with for a few weeks now and just recently got it to flow exactly how I wanted it to. It's something I wrote to represent us…represent our love," he admitted.
I felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I didn't want to get emotional before he even played me the song, but he just have a way with words to make me go all mushy on the inside.
He began to run his long pale fingers across the keys before looking over eat me and started to sing…
Baby since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
You proved my fantasies of love could really be
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9
(You've got me up so high) So high
(My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
(You've got me up so high) Oh
(My shoes are scraping the sky)
Maybe later we can go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
And we can't get much closer to God than where we are
We'll go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9
(You've got me up so high) So high
(My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
(You've got me up so high) Oh
(My shoes are scraping the sky)
Ooh...yeah
Ooh...oh hey
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazin'
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
You got me up so high
My shoes are scraping the sky ooh...ooh...
Yeah...
This is how love's supposed to be
This is how, this is how love's supposed to be, yeah
Let's go to the moon baby, ooh
Let's go to the moon baby, yeah
Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby
So high...
I was breathless as he song the last note of the song. I couldn't hold back any longer…I let the tears fall down my face and stared at my love in his eyes.
"That was beautiful Edward. You are so talented and you always know how to woo me even when you don't have to," I told him.
"I'm glad you like it love. When we get married, I want you to walk down the isle to that song. It would mean the world to me to see you approaching me at the alter and hearing these words being belted out as we pledge our vows to one another and be joined as husband and wife."
"I like that idea a lot," I told him before leaning in and taking possession of his lips.
We sat there at the piano kissing for a little while before we headed back to our room. We didn't make love but Edward gave me the most sensual massage after I took a bath. We layed together in the bed naked…just holding one another before dozing off.
Edward had set the alarm to wake us up so we didn't oversleep. The alarm went off at five and we pulled ourselves out of the bed and started getting ready.
I did my make-up first because that was the biggest headache in my opinion. Then I softly curled my hair making it look wavy. I pulled on my newly purchased black strapless push up bra and the matching underwear that went with it, before stepping into my black strapless chiffon dress and pulling it up over my breast (Links for their outfits are on my profile). I accessorized with silver jewelry and a silver clutch, before stepping into my black strappy sandals.
After giving myself the once over in the mirror, I walked back into the bedroom to find my Edward waiting there on the loveseat for me. He looked absolutely divine in his dark washed jeans, black pin-stripped button up shirt and black leather shoes. He always know how to put clothes together, but then again…I think he could make a paper sack look good if he had to wear one.
He finally looked up from the paper he was reading and took me in. He appraised me from top to bottom before swiftly moving over to me and taking me in his arms for a warm embrace.
"You look…absolutely sinful in that dress Bella. It's going to be so hard for me to keep my hands to myself while we're out tonight. We can always stay in if you like…I mean we can catch a show like this anytime," he said hopefully.
"Oh no Mr. Cullen, you had me get all dressed up to go out with you and I'm actually looking forward to it. You can have your way with me later tonight after we return. Now get your butt in gear and take me out on the town," I said flirtatiously.
He offered me his left arm and I looped my right arm through it and we were off. It didn't take us long to arrive at the nightclub Edward had told me about. Well it's not your typical run of the mill nightclub. Some may call it a 'jukejoint' in a sense. Egan's Ballard Jam House was known for it's many jam sessions played by local and not so local artist. Tonight Blue Moon Daughter and Jacob Stickney were going to be playing and Edward was a huge fan of Jacob Stickney, so he thought it was kismet that he just happen to be playing here at the same time we would be in town.
When we stepped inside the club I immediately felt comforted. There wasn't a flashing disco light or loud music emanating from strategically placed speakers. All you could hear was the live, true musical genius of the artist. A cover band was onstage playing the instrumental version of Sade's, "No Ordinary Love." That's one of my favorite songs and I love this instrumental version. I would have to see if I could find a similar version on Itunes. As I looked around, I could tell that this place was going to be packed...it was halfway there already.
As we made our way through the collection of table and chairs, to the front of the club…we had just located a table when I heard our names being called out.
Edward and I both turned around at the sound of our names and we did a double take as we located the source.
"What are they doing here," we both asked each other at the same time.
A.N. Sorry to leave it right there you guys, but I felt it was the best place to stop. Don't worry, it will pick up right where they left off next Friday. I would like to know who you think it is that called out their name. The first person to guess correctly will get a shoutout in the next chapter.
Shoutout for this chapter goes to tw-i-see-light for your wonderful suggestion to have Bella walk like a stick is up her ass. I thought that was brilliant and would fit perfectly.
Reading suggestion for you…"American Girl" by coldplaywhore. It's a really cute Belly & Eddie story. Check it out if you get a chance.
Until next time my sweets have a safe and adventurous weekend. For those that have already checked out my new story, "Doing Things Her Way", look for the next update on Wednesday. If you haven't read it yet, please check it out and let me know what you think. TTFN
