In from the cold ~ Chapter 8
Dinner was the usual Cullen affair, Esme had cooked lots of delicious food, the boys argued about sport, the girls tried to get me to come shopping, I sat and tried not to stare at Edward. Carlisle smiled at everyone.
*sigh* In fact it was like many dinners we had shared before. Only this time I knew how Edward felt about me rather than me loving him with no hope of him feeling the same way.
I sat in between Alice & Carlisle; Edward sat opposite, right in my direct line of vision. It seemed every time I looked up he was looking or had just looked away from me.
I felt Carlisle gently nudge me with his elbow, alerting me to the fact I had been staring at Edward, thankfully before anyone else noticed my odd behaviour.
"So tomorrow's dinner, Bella…what time are you and Charlie coming over Dear?" Esme asked.
"Not sure about Dad, but I will come over when ever you need me to. I am free all day."
"Edward what time will you be over?"
"I can come over any time you want Mum, I am at your beck and call as always." He laughed.
"Could you take Bella over with you? Or will that be too early for you Darling?"
"What ever time Edward is free to collect me will be fine by me. I have a new dessert recipe I can't wait to try for you guys."
Edward smirked before Carlisle coughed and glared at him. "Edward, can I borrow that new CD you bought the other day, by that group you like please?"
We all looked at Carlisle before looking back at Edward.
"The one he bought when he was at the store with you and me on Tuesday?" Jasper asked.
"Yes that's the one. Park something or other." Carlisle spooned more vegetables on his plate.
"Linkin Park?" Jasper offered smirking at his father in law, trying hard not to burst out into full blown hysterics.
"You like Linkin Park Dad?" Emmett asked.
"Yes I think they are quite good…peas Bella?"
"Yes please Carlisle." I smiled at him, he was either going to confuse everyone with his sudden choice of music or blow the whole secret wide open. What ever I loved this man so much right now.
He patted my hand after placing the dish back on the table.
"How did you come to like Linkin Park Dad?" Alice asked looking very puzzled.
"Oh I think it was on stereo earlier wasn't it?" Edward stood up and walked over to his music system, opened the cd unit and nodded before starting it playing.
"Ahh yes…this is the one I like." Carlisle started nodding his head and humming in time to the music.
"Carlisle you are not playing that in the house!" Esme scolded him. "I swear you are having a midlife crisis or something!" she shook her head at him.
"I like you choice in music." I shrugged as I started to giggle before singing to the CD. Carlisle just laughed and tried to sing along with me. "Oh Bella, don't encourage him, he is bad enough as it is. You Cullen boys are all naughty!" she laughed.
I burst out laughing along with everyone else.
We tidied up after the meal, again I was offered a lift home but Edward reminded everyone that I now had use of his car so I could go when ever I was ready.
"I still can't believe you are getting his baby," Alice questioned.
"His baby, oh Emily?" I looked back at her teasing her now.
"No…his bloody car baby!" She laughed.
"Oh she is not my baby." Edward called out.
I shook my head. "No?"
"No, that car is not my first love?" he smirked.
"My heart belongs to my brown eyed beauty."
I stared at him… what was he playing at?
"Isn't that so Miss Emily…I love you don't I?" he sat down on the floor and pulled Emily over into a bear hug. Emily wagged her tail and snuggled into his cuddle. Jake came bounding over and knocked Edward flat on his back before licking Emily's face.
"I think she loves him more." I giggled.
"Oh I think you may be right, he does love her more." Edward muttered.
I blushed and shook my head before walking away before I said something silly.
We were all standing in the hallway, everyone getting their coats on ready to leave. I was not sure what to do. I sighed as Jasper lifted my jacket and holding it so I could put it on. I would drive the car down into town and turn back once everyone else had turned off onto their roads out of sight.
"Oh Bella darling, I think you left your hat in the utility room." Carlisle said as he pulled me in for a good bye hug.
"Oh I better go get that, thank you I would have been looking for that tomorrow."
He gave me a kiss before leaving with Esme, singing Linkin Park badly and very out of tune, but happily non the less. Edward locked the door behind everyone, letting out a big sigh before he pulled me into his arms.
"SO you love Emily the best do you?" I whispered. "I love her more than I love any car Bella." He whispered back. "But when I said 'he loves her the best' I was looking at you my Love."
His mouth was almost touching me, his lips ghosting mine, before I knew it he had taken my jacket off, thrown it on the floor and he kissed with so much love and passion before carrying me to the bedroom…Our bedroom.
We kissed as we undressed each other, slowly, with much care and attention.
"I wanted to hold you close by all evening Baby."
"I know I wanted to touch you, and kiss you." I replied as my mouth found the sensitive skin behind his ear that I knew he loved me kissing.
His moan made me horny. He made me horny.
I quickly helped him remove the last of his clothing before Edward picked me up and moved so we were both lying face to face on our bed. I pushed him on his back then turned to look down at his enormous erection. I ran my finger tip up his shaft towards the head and back down again. He twitched under my touch.
I looked him in the eye as I licked my lips hungrily.
"I have never done this before." I whispered. He looked at me wide eyed.
"You don't have to Baby."
"I want to, but if you don't want me to…I understand."
My head filling with self doubt now. "You don't want me to do this." I looked at him, my fear obvious.
"Oh no…its not that…I don't want you to do anything you don't want to…" he started to explain.
I looked down and saw a small bead of liquid seeping out of the tip of his penis. I moved my thumb smearing it as he moaned at the contact. He watched me lift my thumb up to my mouth and tasted him, taking my whole thumb into my mouth and slowly pulling it out, savouring the salty essence of my Love.
"Shit Bella, you have no idea how bloody hot that it!"
I knew then I wanted to try this, for him and for me.
Cautiously I moved down closer to him, my hand now on his hip. I licked along the length retracing where my finger tips had been.
I felt his body tense before he relaxed a little bit.
"I can do this." I told myself out loud.
"Only if you want to…" Edward said gasping as I took him in my mouth. He was so big I felt nervous to say the least. I moved my whole body further over beside him. His hand snaked up my thigh and found my wet arousal waiting there. "Shit Baby…you are so wet!" He sighed. His fingers started moving to enter me.
"It's only for you my Love." I responded before licking round the head of his engorged dick before trying to take him in my mouth.
I wasn't sure about this. There was so much of him! I used my hand on the lower part of him, my mouth closing around what I felt I could manage.
His moans and words made me even more determined. I tried to think back to conversations Rose and Alice had made me sit through, I wish I had listened more rather that sat there with my fingers in my ears trying to block them out.
"Baby…you need to stop…" I looked at him.
"I knew it! I knew I would suck at this!" I couldn't believe that he started laughing. "What?" I asked tears in my eyes.
"I need you to stop as I want to be inside you when I cum…but only you could say that you suck when giving some one a fantastic blow job!" I started laughing too. Edward pulled me so I was lying beside him. "I wanted to repay the favour Edward." I mumbled.
"And you did Baby girl, let's take this one step at a time. I want you to be comfortable not obligated with any of this."
"I love you Edward."
"I love you too." I moved so I was lying over his body. We moved against each other, our kisses deeper, joining our souls as our bodies connected as one.
I groaned as I felt him fill me up like no one else had ever done.
"Ohhhhhh Edward…"
"Bella…Baby…"
We moved together, changing position and pace, enjoying new sensations that each position brought.
His hands griped my hips and pulled me down even closer. I arched back, pushing down onto him feeling him tense up inside me.
"I am so close…" I called out.
"Baby…cum with me…please Bella…"
I shuddered, feeling the tension inside me building, needing this release, needing Edward to take me with him. His hands moved up to my breasts, I fell down into his hold, this new change in position being all I needed to hit the spot, I felt Edward thrust up into me and I fell into my climax, contracting all around him, before he followed me and came hard inside me.
"Oh Bella, Baby…every time I think this can not get any better, it does!" Edward held me close; he was still inside me, connected by our very cores.
"I know Edward. I wondered what all the fuss was about before. I listened to the girls saying how good it was and I didn't believe them!" I snuggled as close as I could to his hard toned body and sighed.
"I wish I had told you sooner how I felt about you," Edward whispered.
"No regrets Baby. We have a life time to be together."
I heard him softly singing along to the music still playing in the sitting room.
"There's only one thing you should know,
I tried so hard,
And got so far,
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall…"
"Linkin Park Baby?"
"It works for my Dad!" He laughed.
"Oh you know we are buying him that CD for his Christmas!"
"Too right we are!" he chuckled.
"Our first Christmas together..." I sighed.
"Our first everything, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and best of all, I get to spend all them with you."
Edward lips found mine. We kissed slowly and sensually. No hurry in our need this time. I moved slightly trying to reach Edward's lips more comfortably. The movement caused me to rub against him. I could feel Edward's arousal grow below me, rubbing against my sensitive core. He pushed up against me.
"Again Baby?" I whispered before biting down on my lip.
His hands moved up into my hair as he pulled me toward his mouth and started kissing me again.
His tongue swept across my bottom lip, I opened my mouth letting him enter, moaning as he explored me.
We gripped onto each other, I felt Edward turn us and roll so I now lay under him.
"Are you ready Honey?"
"For you, it seems I am always ready Edward…" I giggled.
His hand reached down and he teased me little until I groaned with desire.
"Shit Bella…you make the horniest sounds when I touch you." "You make me horny with your touch!" I replied, bringing my hips up towards him.
He adjusted his position and slowly pushed his length inside me, inch by delicious inch. The feeling was sublime. I wanted him to keep going at this pace, but I wanted him to fill me completely too.
I gasped as he connected up completely.
"This feels so good…" I sighed.
"I know. I have never…Oh Bella…"
I started to rise up to meet his movements. He reached his hand up and pushed some hair off my face, his tender gaze melting me into liquid.
"Each time…it feels soooo…different…so good…" I murmured.
"And… we have so many…oh Bella…so many more ways…to…"
I opened my legs further, moving my feet to wrap up behind his ass.
As our physical union pulls us further together, our hearts become one just as our bodies are. Neither of us can find the words that express our feelings so instead we let our bodies speak for us.
We fall into our climaxes, me first, Edward shortly afterwards. I giggled as he kissed me, leaving to get a washcloth, both of us sticky after our antics.
"I think we both could do with a shower Honey."
"Sounds good to me," I smiled at him.
We took care of each other, gentle caresses and soft lingering kisses mixed with pledges of devotion.
I pulled one of Edward's tee shirts and some panties while he pulled on clean boxers and a tee shirt.
I sorted the dogs for the night. They had taken to sleeping side by side in Jakes bigger bed over night.
Edward made hot chocolate with marshmallows and toast. Which we took through to our room.
We lay there together for the rest of the evening. It was easy to lie quietly or chat about plans of nothing in particular. Edward was not only my lover; he was now my best friend ever…life was good.
End note… this bit was all ButterflyBetty's words! You are awesome you naughty minx!
"As our physical union pulls us further together, our hearts become one just as our bodies are. Neither of us can find the words that express our feelings so instead we let our bodies speak for us." She is good isn't she?????
