Chapter 13

EPOV

Wild, chestnut hair on my pillow. Soft, ample flesh under my fingers. Vivid tattoos being traced by my tongue. Cherry moaning at my touch before she's truly awake.

This is how every morning should start.

"Good morning, Bella." I speak softly into the skin on her hip before sucking it into my mouth just enough to leave a faint mark.

"Mmmmmmm. Good morning. Did you just give me a hickey?" she asks, still sounding sleepy.

I move my mouth to her other hip and mark her again. "Maybe." I look up at her to see that her eyes are still closed but she has a smile on her face.

Fucking beautiful.

I trail kisses up to her perfect breasts, my lips wrapping around one nipple while my fingers gently pinch and pull the other. Cherry soon starts moving her hips, looking for friction, so I lick my fingers before putting them between her legs.

"Shit, baby, you're already so wet." I push two fingers into her pussy, loving the way it feels when she tightens around them.

"Do it, Edward! Do that thing that drives me crazy," she pleads.

I smile to myself because, yeah, I do know what drives her crazy. I should. We've been fucking like bunnies since Tuesday night and it's now Thursday morning. We both took the day off yesterday so we could fully explore each other's bodies - multiple times.

That's normal, right?

Not that I really care if it's normal; I'd skip work again today, if I could. Unfortunately, we have a deadline to meet with the derby app so it'll be back to reality soon.

Soon, but not quite yet, thank God!

I swirl my tongue around her nipple while my thumb circles her clit. "Yes!" she moans. "That's it. Just like that."

I've never felt this confident in bed with a woman before but Cherry has no problem telling me what she wants and how she wants it. And, believe me, I have no problem giving it to her.

"I have to taste you, Bella."

"Please, Edward!"

I move my body in between her thighs, leaving my fingers inside her, and replace my thumb with my tongue. When I feel Cherry's fingers grab hold of my hair, I don't even try to hold back my moan. She knows exactly what I like, too.

I suck on her clit until she's panting and begging for me to be inside her. When I'm sheathed and in as far as I can be, Cherry pulls my face down for a passionate kiss. The sensations flying throughout my body are like nothing else I've ever felt and it's only with Cherry. I wondered if the passion would've fizzled a bit after so much sex in a short amount of time but, no, it's only gotten better. It's incredible. She's incredible.

"I can't hold off any longer, Edward!" Cherry breathes out, her body meeting mine thrust for thrust.

"Don't hold back, Bella. You know I love it when you come."

Her ankles tighten around my calves while her fingers dig into my back, making me push even harder and then she's falling apart. Hearing Cherry yell my name while she comes does more to me than I ever thought possible and, a few thrusts later, I'm yelling out her name as well.

Eventually, we shower together and manage to stay relatively PG-rated because we know we have work to do today.

"Oh, my God, Edward! I'm pretty sure everyone's going to know I called in sick yesterday so that I could get the pounding of a lifetime. I'm walking like I have a damned corn cob stuck up my ass!"

I wrap my arms around her waist as she puts her earrings in. "If you're waiting for me to apologize, you're gonna be very disappointed."

"Oh, no, that's not what I want at all."

"No?"

Cherry turns around and puts her hands on my shoulders. "No, I want you to promise you'll keep giving me the pounding of my life, you know, so that my body can adjust appropriately."

"I'm pretty sure I can handle that," I say before kissing her smile. "Seriously, Cherry, these past two days with you...they've been the most amazing time of my life. I'm not ready to let you go."

"I feel the same, Edward, believe me. It's going to be torturous to work with you today and not be able to touch you like I want. We're going to have to come straight home after our meetings are over so I can ravage you."

I quirk an eyebrow at her. "Home, huh? Shall we go to my home this time or come back here?"

"Let's go to your place tonight. We have a whole other house we need to break in and I've been dying to be with you in your bed ever since you brought me home from the hospital."

Without warning, my lips are crashing against hers. Cherry opens her mouth so our tongues can meet as I grab her ass and pull her closer. When we finally break apart to catch our breaths, I feel the need to explain myself.

"Cherry, fuck, I've dreamed of you in my bed, really in my bed, for so long. I can't believe it's going to be a reality."

"Of course, it's going to be a reality but, unfortunately, we have to work first," she pouts.

I kiss her pout quickly and adjust myself before we walk toward her front door. Even though we'll be working together most of the day, we've decided to drive to Cherry's office separately to avoid any possible gossip. With the derby app so close to completion, we don't want anything - especially our new relationship - compromising the deal in any way.

I'm about to slide into the front seat of my car when I hear Cherry call my name.

"Yeah?" I answer.

"If, at some point today, I call your cell phone and let it ring one time before hanging up, that's your signal to meet me in the janitor's closet around the corner from my office."

Cherry blows me a kiss and waves before getting into her car and driving off, leaving me standing with my mouth hanging open and my khakis tented out due to my third erection of the morning. I finally calm myself down enough so that I can sit without breaking my dick off and start my car. Before I drive off, I pull my cell out of my pocket and make sure my ringer volume is as high as it'll go. That's one phone call I'm not going to miss.

~~~~~~~~CZ~~~~~~~~

This week, Jasper and I are working at the 5th Cell building so that we can focus on the final touches of our app. We both had to take a week of vacation from our other jobs, but I'm confident that it'll be worth it once the app's up and running.

I've loved working with Cherry throughout this entire process. I admit there's something fascinating about watching her strut around the office. It was strange, at first, because I'm used to watching her be a bad-ass during her bouts, but she fits in the corporate world just as easily as she does in the derby world.

I hear a tap on the door frame of the conference room I've been working in and look up to see Jasper, a strange look on his face.

"Hey, you know you don't have to knock. This is your work room, too."

"Yeah, well, I just wanted to make sure you and Cherry didn't grow tired of the janitor's closet and chose the conference room as your new rendezvous spot," he snarks, before walking to where his laptop is set up.

I can feel the tops of my ears burning, but I ignore it and push my glasses back up on my nose. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me. Everyone knows you two have been bumping uglies all day. I bet that's why you both weren't at work yesterday, huh? You've been doing the nasty!"

"Bumping uglies? The nasty? Really, Jasper? I'll have you know what Cherry and I do is nothing short of perfection. There's nothing nasty or ugly about it."

"Ah-ha! I knew it! Damn, E, you cracked a little too easily. I'm almost disappointed."

"Fuck you. Aren't you going to be a dad soon? I thought that meant you had to grow up and stop being an asshole!"

"There are plenty of immature assholes who are dads too, but I won't be one of them. I'll be the coolest dad ever! My super-swimmers pretty much guarantee it."

Jasper's looking at me like he's one hundred percent sure his words are true and I can't help but roll my eyes at him. I, seriously, don't know how Alice is going to put up with him once their baby is here. She's going to be taking care of two kids, instead of just the one she actually gives birth to.

"So, what's in the cards for you and Alice? I mean, after the baby gets here. What are you going to do?"

"Damn, Edward! You should buy me a few beers before you start with the heavy," Jasper says, running a hand through his hair, his skin paling at my inquisition.

"I didn't mean to freak you out, man. Sorry, it's just something I'd been thinking about and we hadn't had much time to talk since all of this started," I reply, gesturing around the office, but meaning things outside these four walls. Jasper knows what I mean. He realizes how much both of our lives have changed since Punky and Cherry skated in and took them over.

"Dude, how weird is it gonna be to go to the bout tonight with Punky and Cherry not being out on the rink?" I ask, changing the question and letting him off the hook for now.

"So fucking weird!" he laughs, shaking his head. "I've never been to a bout that they haven't skated in! They're the reason we started being fans in the first place."

"Well, just because they're benched doesn't mean we can bail. The team needs us! I feel it, Jazz. This is our year! Cherry even said so herself; if they can win these next two bouts, they'll be going to the championship."

"And, Cherry will be cleared by the doc by then, right?"

"Yeah, and as long as KC can step up and run Punky's plays, we've got a good chance of winning."

"Oh, man, E, you remember last season when the girls got that Golden Unicorn?" Jasper's eyes light up with the memory.

"Hell, yeah! They were on fire that night. Six grand slams in a row? Fucking incredible!" I'm pretty sure that was the night I fell in love with Cherry - before I even knew her. I couldn't help it; I've been under her spell ever since.

"Well, well, it looks like I found alternates for me and Punky for tonight's bout. You two would wear, what, size extra-large fishnets?"

My eyes pop up and find Cherry standing in the doorway, her hands on her hips, and quirking an eyebrow at us.

"Hey, yeah, Jazz and I were just talking derby. You know, reminiscing...mentally preparing for the bout..."

"You two are such fanboys! You talk more about derby than any of the girls on the team. I seriously think you should join! We could get you both wigs and booty shorts, put a little lip gloss on you, and you'll be good to go," she laughs.

I look at Jasper and the look of pure terror is an exact mirror image to what I'm sure my face looks like.

"Now, we just have to give you two some kick-ass derby names," Cherry continues. "Let's see, Jasper, you can be 'Miss Dodgeanist' and, Edward, how about 'Ivanna S. Pankin' for you? Let me call Punky and she'll get to work on making your jerseys!"

Laughter bubbles from her mouth and I jump out of my seat to cover her lips with mine to stop her giggles. Cherry keeps laughing but kisses me back and I grab her hips and roughly pull her against me. "I'll give you a spanking for that little joke later tonight, you hear me?" I murmur against her mouth.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving! If you need me for anything, I'll be in the janitor's closet this time, looking for brain bleach!" Jasper says, pushing past us and out the door.

"See you tonight at the bout, Jazz!" Cherry calls out to him before laughing and kissing me again.

~~~~~~~~CZ~~~~~~~~

After a quick romp back at my house, with Cherry bent over my dining room table, we freshen up and meet Jasper and Punky at the rink.

It's really weird watching a bout while our girls are sitting on the bench without their uniforms, but I love that they're supporting their team so enthusiastically.

"Hey, Tramp O'Lean!" I hear Cherry yell at an opposing player, "You better watch your ass! Barbie still remembers that 'giner shiner you gave her last year and she's looking for revenge!"

My hand instantly cups my crotch and I cringe at the memory of Barbie being pushed down so that her vagina landed right on top of Tramp's skate. It was horrible. I didn't even know Rose then but I felt awful for her. I'm really hoping she beats the shit out of Tramp tonight.

There's only a few minutes left in the bout and the score is tied. The crowd's on their feet and yelling like crazy when the teams take their positions. Emmett blows his whistle and, within seconds, Cherry's replacement, a redhead called Power Snatch, has scored a point to put The Sex Packets in the lead.

Throughout the bout, Barbie and Tramp O'Lean have danced around each other, coming close to blows a few times, but not causing too much damage. If Rose is going to get her revenge, she'd better do it soon.

I look at the bench to see Cherry and Punky are holding hands tightly, tense from the stress of the bout. Cherry must sense me looking at her because we make eye contact; I can see her let out a deep breath and relax her shoulders. It's almost as if I calm her as much as she calms me, except for when she's turning me on, of course.

Two minutes to go and Power Snatch is making her way through the jammers again. Everyone has their eyes on her so no one notices when Barbie skates up to Tramp. When they are side by side, Barbie drops her body low and throws her shoulder right into Tramp's chest, knocking her on her ass. It's a classic can opener move that Barbie plays perfectly, allowing Power Snatch to score another point right before the whistle blows, winning the bout.

The rink erupts in celebration as the Seattle Sex Packets move one step closer to the national championship! Jasper and I run through the crowd that's collected on the rink to find our girls. When I see Cherry, the look of elation on her face is enough to take my breath away. Her eyes are scanning the people and my chest warms at the realization that she's looking for me. She finds me and immediately runs and jumps into my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist.

"Congratulations!" I say before kissing her until we're both breathless.

"I'm so excited, Edward! One more win and we're going to Vegas! Now, take me home so we can celebrate properly!"

"You sure you don't want to go to Willie's for a while and celebrate with your team?"

Cherry cradles my face in her hand and looks directly into my eyes, my soul. "There's no one else I'd rather be with than you."

That's all I need to hear.

Jiff: Or...improperly. That would work, too. Just sayin...

Jenny Kate: Yeah, I'm not picky.

Jiff: I also wouldn't be opposed to getting caught in a closet with him. By Jasper. And, then, they both could...wait, that's a whole different type of fic there, sorry.

Jenny Kate: LOL! Um, seems like I've read something similar in the Dirty Talking Edward Contest.
