Unbetaed, so all mistakes are mine.

Thank you for reading:)

I was panting as I tore my mouth away from hers, sucking in air like it was going out of style. She reached for me, grabbing my shaggy hair and pulling my head back to her; her kisses were almost animalistic in their intensity. I gently removed her hands and held them in mine as I took in ragged breaths.

"What's wrong?" She straddled my lap and freed her hands, moving them to my shoulders as she ground herself against the uncomfortable bulge trapped behind my zipper.

"N-nothing. Just give me a minute." I chuckled, suppressing a moan as she rubbed herself against me just right. "I have to come up for air some time, Bella."

"Mm, coming up for air wastes time that we could be doing this..." Once again her fingers were tangled in my hair, pulling my mouth back to hers. Which wasn't a bad thing; don't get me wrong. No17 year old boy on the planet is going to complain about his girl being eager.

I groaned. "Bella...I want you, believe me. But if we keep going like this, we're not gonna make it to Saturday."

With a defeated sigh, she leaned back against my headboard. "Yeah, I know. You're right. It's just...God, Edward, I don't want to wait any more!"

Saturday would be our one year anniversary. When we started dating we'd both agreed that we weren't ready to jump into sex, and had taken it slowly, as difficult as that was sometimes. We were ready now, and besides being a special date for us, Saturday also happened to be the day that my parents would be leaving to attend a medical conference in Seattle.

"It's so close, baby. Just think, we'll have the house to ourselves. I want to make it special for you. I don't want to be worrying that my mom is going to knock on my door or something, you know?"

Leaning her head against my shoulder, Bella sighed. "I know, I know. It's just...I really want this with you. I love you, Edward."

I hugged her close, dropping a soft kiss on the top of her head. "I love you, too, Bella. It'll be worth the wait, I promise."

As she snuggled into me, her body warm and soft, her hair smelling faintly of apples, I closed my eyes and told myself what I'd just tried to convince Bella of: It'll be worth the wait, it'll be worth the wait...

And as far away as Saturday seemed, I knew it would be.
