Chapter 16

The next morning Edward had left me a note that he would be back around noon for lunch. The walkie talkie was sitting on the dining table.

I set up shop at the dining room table. After 2 hours, I changed into a bathing suit and a wrap. I called Jake and let him know I was heading for a swim in the ocean. The water was amazing and clear. I was so relaxed. I finally had to give in and go back inside my fort. I showered and put on one of my new sundresses and sandals.

Edward called me about 11:45 and told me he would be there in fifteen minutes and to be ready for a jeep ride.

"Okay," I quickly pulled my hair into a ponytail and was ready when he pulled up. Edward quickly hopped out of his jeep and met me at the door as I came out.

Edward smiled his beautiful green eyed crooked smile at me and said, "You look like an island girl on vacation."

"Thank you." He reached up and swung me down onto the ground so that we could share a kiss.

I asked as we were riding along the beach road, "Any press sightings?"

"No, not yet. Did you enjoy your swim?"

"Yes, I did. It was so much fun and relaxing. Where are we going?"

"On a picnic lunch, at one of the beaches, we will be shooting from."

We talked about what he had been doing in the morning and my swim. Suddenly we came through a line of trees and then Edward turned on the speed and headed for the water's edge. Edward was flying across the water and sand. Water was spraying everywhere. I think I was smiling and excited about it. I reached up and held the roll bar. About a mile down the beach, Edward pulled the jeep to a stop and said "Bella, your picnic awaits." I didn't release the roll bar and move, I was frozen like a statue. Edward was suddenly on my side of the jeep opening the door.

"Bella, I'm sorry. Are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you."

"Edward," and I finally released my hands and laid them down in my lap. "I don't know if I was scared or excited. When I was scared over the paparazzi at my house, I was shaking and I don't think I am shaking now. But you surprised me, that's for damn sure."

"Bella, come on, let's go eat lunch and relax." Edward held my hand as I got out of the jeep. Once I was on the ground next to him, he wrapped his arm around my waist and he led me up to the picnic blanket and our lunch.

And right before we sat down, Edward said "Bella, I'm so sorry; I just thought you would really enjoy flying across the beach like that and enjoy seeing the water spraying everywhere."

"Edward," I said and captured his face. "I think I was more surprised than anything. It felt like fun and it's like when we are flying with instruments due to the weather. You can barely see what is in front of you; yet you saw from a distance and knew it was clear. I think I might even like to try driving the jeep like that one day. So please quit apologizing, I'm fine." and I kissed him to prove it.

"Thank you," he said and held my hand. I kicked off my sandals and then sat down on our picnic blanket. We sat down to fresh chicken taco salads and it was heavenly. We had Coronas to go with our salads. I quietly laid down on Edward's lap, looked up at him and said "Where's a script?"

He smiled at me and brought us together for a kiss that I felt way down deep inside my soul. Edward then reached over and pulled out the script. "You're so smart."

We ran lines for half an hour. Edward then said, "We have to go."

"Alright." But before I got up, I got in one last kiss and pulled the keys out of his pocket. "I'm driving, okay?"

"Of course." Together we loaded back up the jeep with our picnic leftovers. I brought the jeep to life. "Look ahead; see the path you need to follow along the shore line. Memorize it and then remember it in your head. Once you start the path just try to envision it like you do with instruments in the plane. If you get anxious at all just let off the gas. Ready?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then let's go." It was exhilarating. Edward then navigated me back into the wooded trail and I just drove along holding hands with him. When I needed to change gears, we did it together. "By the way, do you want me to leave you the jeep?"

"No that's okay. I need to get my schoolwork done."

"That's okay with me. Do you want to go into town for dinner and dancing? Before you ask Jake will be around keeping an eye on us."

"That sounds like fun, but remember I'm not much of a dancer."

"I know; but I'm hoping I can teach you a few salsa moves on the dance floor."

"Sure. I'll go." We were back at the trailer. I turned off the jeep and Edward kissed me goodbye at the driver's door. I went to head back inside.

Edward said, "I'll see you around 6:00, Principessa."

I went back in our beach fort, locked the door and went to work on my paper and design project. By 5:30, I put everything away, added a little more makeup, let my hair down and curled it. That's when Edward walked in and said, "Give me ten minutes and I'll be ready, Principessa."

"That's fine."

"But first, can you put the curling iron down for a minute?"

I did. Edward moved my hair to one side and started kissing up my neck. "I missed you this afternoon." Unexpectedly, Edward spun me into his arms and gave me a kiss that I was glad I had the bathroom counter to lean against because he was taking my breath away.

"Hmmm. You taste amazing. Now I'll go get ready. It was as too tempting not to kiss you. I'll be back soon. You'll need more lip gloss." Once I was done curling all my locks, I secured it at the base of my neck on the left side. Edward returned in sandals, denim shorts and an island shirt. "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Edward led me back to the jeep. We went thirty minutes back towards town. We pulled into a parking spot at a restaurant club in town. We went in and sat down at a table for two. I tried looking at the menu and figuring something out. But I finally said, "Edward will you actually order something for me because I have no clue."

"No problem. Do you want a Margarita with your dinner to?"

"Yes, please," and I leaned over, kissed him and said, "Thank you."

Edward placed our order and the waiter left us alone. I leaned over and said "What did you order us?"

"Steak fajitas and fresh sautéed vegetables. Now c'mon, let's see if I have any luck teaching you to Salsa."

I was reluctantly pulled out to the dance floor. Edward taught me a few salsa moves before the music slowed down. Suddenly, his arms were wrapped around my waist and we were dancing very close together. About half way through the song, Edward looked down at me and said, "In New York, I knew we were a perfect fit together. I don't ever want to let you go. You're exactly what I've been looking for in a woman. You have your own drive just like I do. You make me work to have you around which only makes me want you more." He tilted my face up to him and kissed me. As he pulled away, Edward said, "Principessa, shhh, no crying. Our dinners just arrived; let's go eat."

I picked up my margarita and said, "To my amazing date and his beautiful words."

We ate, drank and danced some more. I started getting the hang of Salsa and oh god it was so sexy. My date was so sexy, too. This time he never let me go to dance with anyone else. I was so thankful and excited. I really enjoyed being in his arms. Jake came up and tapped my shoulder like he was interrupting Edward for a dance. He forced us to all lean in together. Unfortunately, Jake was letting us know that the paparazzi had shown up.

"Okay," Edward said. Edward led me back to our table so I could grab my purse. Jake led us to a back door where the jeep was sitting with the motorcycle.

"Go," Jake said. "I'll be right behind you."

Edward grabbed my hand and we ran to the jeep. I buckled myself in and said, "Go for it; but be careful."

"You're starting to get the hang of this."

"Only when the numbers are on our side."

As we were flying down the road, Edward said, "I was ready to be out of there anyway."

"Why, Edward?"

"I wanted to do more than just kiss you during that last song."

"Really," and then it got quiet in the jeep for awhile.

"You realize that you can't go for a swim in the ocean alone tomorrow."

"No problem."

As we drove back to our fort, I could see Jake's headlight plus a car behind him. Once we crossed onto the set, Edward slowed some as we made our way to the fort. I leaned over and whispered, "What did you want to do to me on the dance floor that you couldn't?"

Edward said with a very devilish smile on his incredible face, "Give me five minutes and I'll show you." Edward gently laid one of his hands between my legs and continued saying, "It involves a whole lot of natural heat and chemistry." I thought to myself, finally, he's going to make love to me. I can hardly wait; though Edward's hand was still on my thigh, I needed to create some friction. I tried to quietly rub my legs together.

"Ooohhhh," I said and my panties got even damper than they already were.

Edward sped the jeep back up. "Bella, I know what you're doing."

Edward quickly had us parked back in front of the fort; Jake was right next to me helping me down. Jake said, "Go ahead you two, you're clear."

I turned and said, "Thanks, Jake."

As soon as the door was closed and locked to our fort, Edward scooped me up and we both needed to kiss one another. We eventually made it to my room after bumping into several walls along the way. He laid me on the bed and he crawled right up my body until he was laying right on top of me. We continued our kiss; Edward's one hand found the tie of my wrap dress and it fell open very easily. He devoured my breasts with my bra still on. He replayed his prior dance with his tongue on my now bare breasts because my bra was quickly removed when I arched to get closer to his touch. While his lips and teeth continued exploring my breasts, one hand wondered down and slipped inside my panties until he found my hot and wet core. As he slipped one finger inside of me, I arched at my hips to be closer to him and moaned, "Edward." I winced some to the invasion into my body.

Edward quickly slipped his other arm around my waist to keep me that close to him. He brought his beautiful lips back up to mine and whispered, "My Principessa ,relax." We continued our kiss where our tongues were fighting for the control we each needed and wanted. Slowly, he started moving his finger around inside of me and touching my inside walls. Everyplace he touched, I felt jolts of electricity run even deeper into my core. There was a band coiling up even tighter than I already was wound deep down inside of me. I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold on. I was hoping that Edward would keep going; I didn't know for sure if I was ready, but this feeling felt incredible and I didn't want it to end. Between the touching and kissing, suddenly my body clamped down on his finger. When it did, everything we had been doing stopped. Edward rolled to his side and pulled me into his arms tightly and whispered "You are incredible, just relax. Beautiful. Amazing, sensual," into my ear. He kept repeating himself. Edward continued to touch me very gently and caressed me all over.

Once he felt my heart rate return to a slower pace, he whispered, "Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"By the way, when we actually make love, Bella, it'll be even better. Now tell me where your pjs are?"

"In the bathroom on the counter."

"Don't move. I'll get them for you."

"I won't." When Edward returned, he helped me finish undressing except for my panties then he helped me put on my pjs. I found myself kneeling down on my bed and said, "Edward."

"Yes." and he leaned in closer to me. I started unbuttoning his shirt and slid it away. I was also eagerly kissing him. I then moved the kiss down and covered every square inch of this chest and stomach with kisses and eventually worked my way back up to his lips. With one hand, I found the nerve to go under his shorts waistband with my hand. Then I slipped into his briefs. I captured his manhood for the first time ever. I had felt his hardness press against me once in awhile, but I had never felt a manhood. His skin was soft, but it was very firm and large. As my hand was holding him, I could feel him pulsating against my hold. From where my hand was gripping him and how much was left until I reached his balls, I realized how large he was and then I looked up at him with a quizzical look on my face.

"What's wrong, Principessa?" he asked and he captured my face.

"Edward, how are you going to fit inside of me?"

"Oh, Principessa. Don't worry, I promise it will, but we aren't going to find out tonight or tomorrow night." He quickly gave me a kiss and said, "Excuse me for a moment; I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Where are you going?"

"Don't ask, please, but I promise I'll be back soon." While he was gone, I turned on the radio, found a salsa station and was practicing the steps Edward had taught me earlier that night. Edward returned then. He stepped into the dance with me; we had fun until I bumped into the bed and we both fell down on the bed.

"Edward, your hair is all wet."

"Yes it is; now, come here and cuddle with me. Go to sleep, before I need another shower."

"Ok, but I have one more thing to talk to you about."

"What's that?"

"All my work is done. If I'm allowed, can I come with you in the morning, too?"

He looked at me capturing my face and said, "Of course." Edward tenderly kissed me good night. We settled down together and I easily drifted off to sleep thinking about the guy wrapped around me.
