A/N: You lucky readers. My family hunkered down to watch Spiderman 3, which I had already seen, so I was given a small reprieve and quickly wrote this chapter. Lemony Goodness included.
xxcaityxx – you will definitely find more Alice in the upcoming chapters. She just can't help but meddle in Edward's love life.
mokanimom – I have never been to Europe, only across parts of North America. I am good at research, because I am trying to make this as factual as possible. I hate when I read stories and the characters are going to Dartmouth, but it's in California. I think a little research goes a long way in creating a decent story.
Don't expect Bella to reveal her 'columbia' situation in the near future, although she will get more conflicted about it as she falls for him more. Especially in the next chapter. Enjoy the train ride!

We went back to our hostel after dinner and quickly logged on to the computers to find train and hostel information for Berlin. Edward was on hostel duty because he insisted on it. I wasn't going to complain though because he was finally getting into helping me plan the trip and I was excited about this.
"There's a night train that goes leaves at like five tomorrow night. That would be cool. It appears to be a fourteen hour trip. It looks like we get in around seven in the morning, think you can handle that?" I asked Edward curiously as I glared at his screen and noticed he wasn't even on a hostel website yet. He nodded his head absentmindedly and I kept talking to see if he was paying attention. "We can get a sleeping car with one bed and a shower too. We have to pay extra though, but at least we could have sex on a train."
There was no response. I was shocked. I was expecting excitement, anticipation, anything at all, but I got nothing. "Are you even listening to me?"
"Yeah, sex on a train. Have you checked your email yet?" asked Edward as he closed down his own email and finally opened up a website about hostels in Berlin.
"No, should I?" I asked as I finished booking our train for tomorrow night. Edward nodded his head again and tried to focus on the room situation. I anxiously logged into my email, not quite sure what I would find. After all, Edward didn't even have my email address. How did he know I had any emails at all?
"How long do you want to stay in Berlin?"asked Edward curiously. We ended up agreeing on four nights, with us leaving on a Monday to head to our next destination. Edward ended up booking a hostel that had a single room, with a queen bed for us. We were officially turned off the concept of having to share a room with anyone else; even though we knew it may be unavoidable. Sometimes it made me wish we could afford a hotel room, but I never mentioned this to Edward.
Once my email was done loading and I scanned through several email forwards from my friends, I found a curious one from Alice Cullen.
"Is this from your sister?" I asked as I raised my eye brow in curiosity. How the hell did she get my email address? "Did you give her my email address?"
"Bella, I don't even have your email address. Well I didn't until five minutes ago when I opened my email and my sister gave it to me." Edward sighed nervously and I could tell he wasn't exactly pleased at this turn of events. "My sister has a fan, or a stalker would probably be more appropriate. He's a computer whiz named Tyson and he's always doing her all sorts of favors for her, which now includes investigating you." My face turned from curious to incredulous anger. Why the hell would she be investigating me? What had Edward told her that would require her to look for me? "I apologize in advance for whatever the hell she has written to you. She wouldn't tell me what she said." I opened the email reluctantly, not quite sure what would be waiting for me.
Hi Bella,
I'm Alice, Edward's younger sister. I just wanted to write to you and say 'Hi' since Edward didn't want to give me your email address. I hope you don't mind that I tracked you down. Your mom is uber awesome by the way; she's the one who ended up giving me the information.
Please don't tell Edward this, but I wanted to write you and thank you for whatever the hell it is you two are doing. He hasn't seemed this happy in years and I'm sure it has to do with you. So thanks and I hope we can meet one day.
Alice Cullen
Well that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I breathed a sigh of relief and Edward followed suit. "What did she say?"
"Well, some of it I can't tell you, but this Tyson guy must be good. They tracked my mother down in Forks and she gave them the email address," I said with a laugh as I imagined what excuse Alice would have provided my mother for her to just offer up my email address. Suddenly panic set in. I wondered if she mentioned Edward to my mother. I ran through my unread e-mails to see if I had one from my mom. No such luck. There was another one from Angela though.
Wow Bella, sounds like you and Edward are doing really good. That's great. I bet he's excited that your gonna be in New York in the fall. That is so cute. You met abroad and end up together in NYC. Have you told your mom yet? I ran into her at the bank earlier this week and I didn't mention anything because I wasn't sure. You should tell her. She'd be happy you found someone, then again she'd probably offer up the sex talk again, and that was completely embarrassing the first time and I didn't even have to sit through it. I still can't look at bananas since you told me what happened, or cucumbers.
Anyways, send me a shirtless photo and be safe.
Angela.
I grabbed my camera out of my purse and sent Angela a quick email with a picture I took of Edward and I at the beach. I hoped this would stop her from asking about topless photos because you could see most of his chest in it. This should placate her for a few days anyways. I told her that we were heading to Berlin on the night train, and that I would email her in a few days. Once I was finished, Edward and I headed back to our room to get some sleep. It was almost eleven by the time we crawled into bed and immediately fell asleep. We didn't even kiss goodnight we were both so tired.
The next morning, we left our luggage in the front office of the hostel and ended up wandering around Skansen, and open air museum and zoo, which was actually my favorite part. Once we were done, we took a cab back to our hostel, grabbed our bags and headed off to the train station, eagerly anticipating the ride to Berlin. While waiting at the train station, Edward picked up a selection of snacks and yet another map for Berlin specifically, since his last map was just of Hamburg. He also picked up a few English magazines so that we had something other than each other to keep us busy. The first few hours of the ride were pretty boring. We scanned through my camera and deleted all the photos that were blurry. That was exciting. Not. We ate a quick dinner of sandwiches that were available from the food trolley and before we knew it, it was almost eight.
Edward changed into his pajamas, apparently not really caring that I was in the room, but I did my best to avert my eyes. Unfortunately, I caught a good glimpse of his hips, specifically the deep v that forms on the hips of my perfectly sculpted boyfriend, and I actually gasped.
"What's wrong?" asked Edward as he sat down cross legged on our bed.
"Nothing, but turn around so I can get changed," I said with a sly smile. I watched as he closed his eyes and I then threw a blanket over his head so he definitely couldn't see me. I was quick to get changed, and when I pulled the blanket off of him, he grabbed my waist and pulled me down onto the bed.
"That wasn't fair. I never made you turn away," he said with a grin. "The blanket wasn't very thick by the way." I punched him lightly on the shoulder, but he pulled me in for a kiss. "So, didn't you mention sex on a train yesterday when we were booking this trip?" inquired Edward after he pulled away from our kiss and his eyes grew lustful and curious.
"I said that to try and see if you were paying attention," I laughed as his face fell slightly. I leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the lips, which quickly escalated. His hand wrapped around my head and through my hair, pulling me closer to him. My brain told me to resist him, but my body said the opposite, and this time, my body won the war. I bit down softly on his bottom lip and he opened up slightly, allowing my tongue entrance to him. Without warning, I pushed him back onto the bed, lying on top of him and kissing his neck and his chest while his hands explored my body. After almost half an hour of making out, I pulled back and straddled his waist, sitting up and looking down at him.
"You're so beautiful," said Edward as he reached a hand up to sweep some hair behind my ear that had fallen across my face. I immediately blushed.
"Flattery will get you everywhere Edward," I said with a grin as I bent forward and kissed his chest.
"Define everywhere?" he asked with a smirk as his hands gripped my ass tightly and he pulled me forward on his hips, directly over his hard cock.
"Everywhere but there," I replied with a sigh, not quite ready to take that next step with Edward. "I promise we will do it, just not on a moving train."
"Don't tell me you are one of those girls where everything has to be perfect. I bet your first time was at prom with your boyfriend of like two years," he laughed as I grinded myself down on him, teasing his cock. "If you're not going to have sex with me, don't tease me."
"No, my first time was not at prom. It was an awkward drunken encounter with one of my best guy friends back in Forks. We both just wanted to get it out of the way, so we did it. Nothing special," I replied, while Edward sat up against the wall, me still straddling his waist. His hand was now on my back, rubbing it comfortably. "How about you stud? Where was your first time?"
"Mine was with a slightly older girl in the coat room at the country club my parents always dragged us to. I was sixteen and she was eighteen, and I was not very good. She even told me so." I laughed gently at Edward, but sadly he was not laughing.
"Don't look all sad. I'm sure you are a hundred times better now than you were back then. If your dick is even remotely as good as your fingers, I won't be complaining." I kissed him again and this time he pulled back and had a huge smile on his face.
"Wanna find out?" he asked anxiously as he kissed my neck harder, clearly eager to give me another hickey.
"Clearly you have listening issues. I said not on the train. Doesn't mean I'm adverse do doing other things on the train though." I reached down between us and started to rub his dick through the fabric of his shorts and I watched him tense up for a moment and then relax.
"You know what would be totally hot," asked Edward as he pulled my hand from his excitement. "If I watched you… take care of yourself." He was now looking both anxious and excited. He was nervous about my reaction, but even though I wasn't ready for sex with him yet, didn't mean I wasn't ready for other things, so I hopped off his lap and yanked off my shirt. "Shit, that was quick."
"It won't be quick, that I can promise," I replied as I yanked my panties off and was now sitting in front of him completely naked. His eyes grew wide on his face and I had to smile. He clearly liked what he saw. "Get naked."
"What?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm not doing this alone. If you get to watch me, I want to watch you."
EPOV
I have died and gone to heaven. There was some sort of train accident on the way to Berlin and I was in heaven, with a naked Bella in front of me offering to play with herself, if I did the same. I looked at her nervously and then wondered to myself, what am I waiting for?
"Edward," she said, snapping me from my reverie for a moment. I didn't think twice and pulled my shorts off, releasing my already hard cock, and throwing them across the small room. I leaned back to make sure the door was locked. "Are you okay?" asked Bella, clearly sensing my tense facial expression.
"Yeah, I'm good. It's just hard to look and not touch." This was heaven and hell at the exact same time. I decided to just go with the flow and watched as Bella leaned back against the wall and spread her legs open for me. Fuck Me. I hadn't seen her, even though I had felt every inch of her pussy, inside and out, I hadn't seen it. I wished for a moment she was more extroverted, so I could take a picture, although I was certain this moment would be ingrained in my head for eternity. I bit my lip and watched as she ran her fingers along the outside of her warmth. I instantly grasped my hardness, stroking myself in time with her movements. She moved seductively, yet each movement seemed to have a purpose. The more I watched her teasing herself, the harder it was for me to keep my hands to myself. With my free hand, I gripped the bed tensely. This was pure torture.
When she slid a finger inside herself and followed it up with a slow guttural moan of my name, I was officially done. I threw myself across the bed and started kissing every inch of her, starting with her lips, but paying particular attention to her breasts. I reached my hand between us, to her wetness, but her fingers were still buried inside of her. "You are so fucking hot," I moaned into her chest as she slipped her hands free and offered me a lick of her fingers. I shoved them in my mouth greedily and slid down her body. She tasted fabulous and I wasn't going to let it go to waste I told myself as I thrust my tongue inside her. Now she was the one gripping the sheets as I licked and sucked on her clit after I had pulled out of her wetness.
"Fuck," she muttered as I grabbed her ass and pulled her closer to my mouth. I know this wasn't the mutual masturbation session she had in mind when we started, but I didn't care. I had to do more than watch her. It was the worst form of anguish ever devised. I knew it couldn't have been created by any teenage boy with a smoking hot girlfriend. I pushed my forearms against her thighs to spread her open for me a little bit more and I felt her hands grasp my hair, tugging gently.
"I want to be inside you Bella," I said as I pulled away from her for a moment, then dove back in, thrusting my fingers inside of her. She moaned again and it was making it worse for me. I had to feel her wrapped around my cock.
"Do you have a condom?" she asked breathlessly as my thumb rubbed against her clit forcefully and she bit her lip in pleasure. Shit, I didn't. Talk about bad fucking timing. I shook my head signaling that I hadn't and wondered for a moment if the woman pushing the cart with the sandwiches earlier might have something. I highly doubted they offered up dinner and protection on the train. I continued my fingering of her, desperate to see her come for me again. If we couldn't have sex, we would at least both end the night feeling somewhat sexually relieved. I curled my fingers inside of her, still plunging my fingers in her, and I bit down gently on her clit. She was close. Her eyes rolled back in her head for a moment and she grabbed my hair again, tighter this time. Then suddenly she jerked beneath me and moaned incoherent babble, from which all I understood was my name. It was officially the hottest thing I had ever seen. As she leaned back to calm her breathing, I sat up and took matters in my own hands, literally.
I was about to start stroking myself, when I suddenly felt Bella's hand grip my wrist. "I'll take care of that," she said with an eager smile as she removed my hand and starting licking up and down me. I groaned the moment I felt her tongue on me because the sensation was pure ecstasy. Before I even knew it, her hot mouth was wrapped around me and she was sucking me harder with each motion. It's official, I am transferring to Northwestern, I told myself as I watched her fuck me with her exquisite mouth.
After several minutes of her ministrations, I gripped the bed, eager to release. I tried to pull her off of me, even grabbed her ear once, signaling I was good to go, but she didn't move. In fact, I thought her lips actually tightened, so I gave up and exploded inside her mouth. I was shocked at how eagerly she swallowed me down, and I had to smile. I kissed her forehead the moment she leaned up from my lap.
"Sorry," I said with a grin, feeling a bit remorseful for not going along with her original masturbation plan. Okay, so I wasn't actually sorry, but I felt like I should be.
"I'm not complaining," said Bella as she lay down on our bed and pulled the blankets up over her still naked body. "Are you coming to bed?" she asked as she patted the mattress beside her. I did as instructed and slid behind her, spooning her soft body under the blankets of our slightly lumpy train mattress. I didn't care though, I was naked beside my girl and that was all that mattered.
"You are so fucking hot," I whispered to her as my arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close to me.
"I have a question for you. You have been trying to have sex with me for days now, why is it you don't have a condom?" asked Bella as I groaned loudly. I would forever regret not having one during this train ride, although I did hope that train sex would be a possibility before the trip was over.
"When would I have time to get one? I couldn't very well drag you into a store and pick some up. You would have probably thought I was making a bold assumption that we would have sex, and it would turn you off and there wouldn't be any sex at all." I felt relieved as I told her this. I didn't want to buy any and then she refused to have sex with me simply because I assumed we would.
"That makes sense, but can I suggest we get some soon before we are ready and still don't have any protection?" I nodded my head a little too enthusiastically and leaned down to kiss her again. We continued talking for a little while longer before she drifted off to sleep in my arms.
I love you, I whispered to her quietly as she slept beside me.
The next morning, we were both a little sore when we woke up. It wasn't from the sex, but rather from the rough ride of the train throughout the night. "Sleep well?" she asked as I rubbed my eyes and pulled away from her for a moment, my morning wood making an unwelcome appearance. I just nodded my head and remembered we were both naked. Part of me wanted a repeat of last night, until the voice on the public address system advised that we were ten minutes from arriving in Berlin. Bella and I threw on our clothes quickly and packed up our bags. We were all ready to go just as the train pulled into the station.
Before we walked out of the train car, I took a quick picture with Bella's camera for posterity. She grinned at me as she grabbed my hand tightly in hers and we departed the train, with fond memories. The hostel I booked was only a few blocks from the station, so we took our time walking there, even stopping to eat some breakfast because we knew we couldn't check into our room, although we could drop off our bags.
Once we had lightened our load, I pulled out my new map of Berlin and we decided to check out the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie. They had an awesome island filled with five museums, but Bella and I agreed to wait for another day to do the museum thing. We were on our way back to the hostel, before we went out to have dinner and go dancing, when we stumbled upon a store that would surely sell condoms. I practically ran inside and bought two packages before I returned to a confused Bella on the street.
"What?" I asked with a big smile. "I'm not taking any chances next time."
