Let's crack on!

Chapter XXII: The Non-Date Date-part 2

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me!

Did he just?! No! Hotass did NOT just practically say that he lo-

Nananananaananananana, I can't hear you!

Why are you fighting this, girl?!

Are you kidding me?! He's a fucking vampire! He can kill us in an instant!

He could, but he didn't and won't!

And how do you know that? What if he snaps and kills us?

I just know he will never do that, girl. He's a good guy. So, I ask again, why are you fighting this?

"Bella?" Edward interrupts my thoughts, looking at me worriedly.

He sighs. "I freaked you out, didn't I? I shouldn't have said anything. I apologize for making you uncomfortable."

He looks so heartbroken that my heart clenches in pain for him. I don't want to hurt Edward when he's been nothing but sweet and caring to me. It's just that I don't know how to deal with this situation when I'm not certain how my feelings toward him will develop.

I still haven't responded to him, which prompts Edward to think that I'm royally freaking out.

"I can turn back around and just tell Mr. Banner that we went. I don't want this to be an awkward experience for you."

When I still don't reply Edward takes that as a cue to turn back but I shoot my hand out and place it on his that's gripping the gear shift tightly. "Don't."

"I want to go to the park with you, with awkwardness and all." I smile, trying to make light of the situation.

His jaw is snapped tight as he stares straight ahead.

"Listen, Edward. I'm not freaked out, so please let's not ruin this day."

He looks down where my hand is laid on his and that's when I realize that I've been absently stroking his cold hand.

I stop caressing, but can't bring myself to pull my hand away.

Edward gives me a disbelieving look, immediately seeing through my bullshit.

I sigh. "Okay, fine! I'm still freaked out a bit by your admission, but you can't blame a girl when you spring your feelings on her like that."

I take it as a good sign when I notice his hands loosening both on the steering wheel and the gear shift. I let out a breath of relief that I wasn't aware of holding.

"Thank you," I mutter.

Edward's doubtful expression turns into incredulity and he shakes his head.

"Unbelievable," he mutters.

"What is?" I snap.

You're too defensive, girl.

Edward looks frustrated when he turns his head to look at me. "Here I am, making you uncomfortable and your response is to thank me?"

"Yes, I'm thanking you for not turning around because I do want to spend time with you, even if it got a bit uncomfortable and awkward earlier. And I'm also thanking you for being honest with me." I always mean what I say, even if sometimes - like now - what I say surprises the shit out of me.

"I apologize for making you uncomfortable. That was never my intention." He looks desolate as he says this.

A sudden urge to comfort him surges through me but I will it back down. I know Edward's hurting right now because he probably didn't anticipate that I would freak out.

"Edward." Something in my tone makes him turn around to face me. Seeing the vulnerable expression on his face is like a knife twisting in my gut.

I take a deep breath. "I know my reaction isn't what you were hoping for and I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that I've never been in such a situation and I didn't know how to react. I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Don't apologize, Bella. I don't blame you for not reciprocating to my declaration, regardless of how much I wish you did."

He gives me a crooked smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

Girl, fix this! Be honest with him.

What if at the end this turns around and bites us in the ass? Literally!

And what if that never happens? Are you just going to spend the rest of your life wondering?

I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Sometimes, a girl needs to take a risk.

I hope, for our sake, this doesn't end in blood and tears.

There's a brief silence where I contemplate whether I should tell Edward about the clusterfuck that is my feelings towards him.

From the corner of my eye, I see Edward concentrating way harder than should be necessary on the road. As I study his features, I feel a warm feeling tingling in my chest that I'm compelled to rub.

I guess I like him. I mean, he is good looking and a good guy to the core. And he makes me feel these foreign emotions that I can't rationalize. Maybe he can help me figure it out.

I just have to be honest with him about how I feel.

I take a deep breath. "Edward."

His takes his eyes away from the road at the sound of the urgency in my voice.

"Yes, Bella?"

"I can only guess how difficult it was for you to confess the feelings you have toward me because let's face it, I'm not a snake charmer."

"That's true," he smirks, effectively breaking the tension. God, I love him for that.

"You ass! You're supposed to say, 'No, Bella, you're a sweetheart.' You just lost brownie points for that, Cullen." I mock scowl at him.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll find a way to get back at me later, Swan." he says with a wink.

Aaaaand cue the fucking blush. What's with this wink-to-blush correlation? It's irritating as fuck.

"I see you've studied my methods. You know me so well, Cullen."

He smiles. "And I hope to get to know you better."

"I'd like that," I reply, which causes his smile to brighten.

It's now or never, girl.

"I like you, Edward, and would like to get to know you better, too," I reply, looking away in embarrassment. It's not everyday I open up emotionally to people.

Edward responds by holding my hand above the console.

"Is this okay?"

I answer by linking our fingers together.

~E&I~

We arrive at the park - that Edward and I had won tickets to in Bio class - within two hours instead of the usual three hour and 45 minute drive required to reach the park - or so Google Maps says.

Edward and I are walking on a remote trail where the trees are denser and a variety of botany abounds. There are flowers of every color, more than half of which I have no clue what the names are. Edward, however, is like a walking encyclopedia and he tells me the names of every flower and the geographical origin.

Edward is quite erudite on the subject. Sometimes, his intellect intimidates me because it makes me feel inadequate. As he explains, he takes pictures of the flowers with his fancy camera.

I can tell Edward loves photography because his eyes light up every time he snaps a photo.

There's a lot I don't know about him.

It's because your dumb ass is stuck at judging him for what he is instead of who he is.

I've been observing him for quite a while, and nothing about his actions tells me he's a vampire. He looks like a regular teenage guy. Well, not that regular, I mean no other teenager looks as manly and sexy as he does, especially when he wears that leather jacket of his.

Or maybe I'm just a biased fool.

As Edward's busy taking pictures, I check him out unashamedly. He's wearing - fuck me - dark wash jeans so tight it that accentuates the contours of his behind.

Dear Lord, I'm one blessed woman.

Ugh, those dark wash jeans and black boots make me want to pounce on him.

That ass though, Mmmhm.

Ugh, I need to get laid. Those masturbating sessions just aren't cutting it.

Girl, those bushes are tall enough to cover you both.

Wait, what?! What are you saying?! We're not fucking him.

Oh yes we are, hunty! Look at that fine physique.

I mean, yeah, he's hot and makes my panties wet but does that warrant a fuckathon?

What more could warrant one?! Oh my god, let's get fucked so you'll loosen up a bit.

My clothes feel too tight on me. I can feel my heart thudding in my chest at the idea.

Heat rushes through my body, invigorating every cell, especially the parts that haven't seen action in a while.

I take off my leather jacket to cool down a bit. When I stop hearing the clicking of a camera I look up at Edward to see him gazing at me with black eyes.

His steps are calculated as he walks toward me. His nostrils are flaring and his mouth is set into a line.

He looks almost predatory, and for some reason more heat rushes through me.

Shit, I'm so wet. I want him.

Edward stops in front of me. His scent is so intense that I feel as if I'm drowning in it.

"Bella." Edward's voice sounds deeper and coarse.

I look into his eyes and the lust present there turns me on.

"You want me," he growls. "I know you want me, Bella. I can smell it on you." His voice deepens.

"I want you, too, but I need you to say the words, love."

He's too strong. What if he crushes us by mistake?

Edward notices my concern because he says, "I promise I won't hurt you. I can't hurt you."

He looks so confident that I nod. "I want you, Edward. I want you now."

"Fuck yes," he hisses.

Next thing I know, our lips crash against each other with passion. Molding together until we're breathing each other's breath.

As we kiss, I briefly feel a gust of wind for an instant before it stops.

Adrenaline rushes in my heart as we devour each other's lips. His lips move expertly against my own as he pulls me by the waist to his chest and holds me there.

Helloooo Eddie Jr. Come play with mama!

It's poking in the wrong place.

Then show him where to poke!

I squeeze one of large biceps and drag the other over his chest then across the contours of his abs.

Damn, the boy's ripped.

Edward growls against my mouth, the vibrations causing me to moan.

I tug at his hair, trying to bring his face closer to mine.

He swipes his tongue across my bottom lip asking for entrance. I open my mouth and feel his silky tongue against mine, fighting for dominance.

Fuck, he tastes amazing.

He sucks on my tongue causing my knees to buckle and give in, but not before I bite his in retaliation.

"Minx," Edward snarls, then sucks on my bottom lip as he drags his hands that are wrapped around my waist down to grab my ass.

With a hand on each cheek he squeezes my butt, causing me to gasp then giggle.

I feel Edward's smile against my own before he gives me a kiss that leaves me gasping for air.

He doesn't stop though, as he continues to lay open mouthed kisses across my jaw. When he reaches the sensitive spot behind my ear, he sucks on the spot then licks it.

I moan loudly and throw my head back in response, which encourages him to kiss, suck and lick along the length of my neck.

God, it feels so good.

Suddenly, I feel my back pressed against a tree as Edward grabs me by the ass. I wrap my legs around his waist and feel his erection press right where I'm burning.

"Shit, right there," I gasp.

"Yeah? Like that?" he taunts, grinding into me as he licks along my collarbone.

Two can play at this game, baby.

I move my hips against his, eliciting a growl from him that makes me even wetter.

"Stop it, love," he warns, scraping his sharp teeth on my shoulder. I shudder in pleasure at the feel of the sharpness then snicker.

"Or what?" I grin.

Edward raises face and his black eyes have a naughty glint to them.

The fucker smacks my ass hard.

"Why you-"

He interrupts me by devouring my lips and doing things with his tongue that leave me breathless.

Because of the pleasure, I almost don't feel my clothes being strewn left and right and a moment later, we're both standing in front of each other naked.

I don't know how I ended up standing, nor do I care, because a second later Edward's picking me by the waist and holds me up. All I can feel is tongue and lips on my skin, hands roaming all over, the taste of cinnamon and leather on my tongue, and the sounds we're emitting.

I'm lost in a sea of sensations. I'm burning everywhere and I know only he can douse this fire.

"Edward, fuck me already!"

"I need to have you, Bella."

We both speak at the same time, then laugh our hearts out.

When we calm down, Edward gives me a long kiss before saying, "With pleasure, love."

He lifts me by my ass and I wrap my legs around his waist again.

"You're such an ass guy," I tease.

He wiggles his eyebrows. "Who wouldn't be in the presence of a magnificent ass such as yours?"

I roll my eyes. "You sweet talker, you. Now more sexing and less talking."

"Yes, ma'am."

I feel his tip where I need him the most and resist the urge to roll my eyes back.

He's so huge. Shit, baby hurry up.

"Wait!"

Edward stiffens and his dark eyes turn into golden brown with worry.

"What is it? Are you hurt?"

"No, silly. You forgot to put on a condom."

"Oh."

"Oh?! That's your response? Unprotected sex equals babies and I'm not popping one out, Edward."

He rolls his eyes. "Relax, Bella. I'm a vampire, remember? My body can't produce sperm because it's biologically dead."

"Oh." Now I feel stupid.

"Now relax, love. I want to make you feel good," he says in a husky voice.

He wraps his other arm around my back and pulls me to his chest. The contrast of our skin temperatures feels amazing.

Then, he slowly pushes his length into me.

The more he pushes, the better it feels. Okay, there's a slight sting because it's been a while. But still I moan every time he pushes because it feels so good that the initial stinging recedes.

"Fuuuuck, Bella. You're so warm." He groans as he, inch by inch, fills me to the hilt.

"Shit, Edward," I gasp.

"So wet." He growls into my neck, the vibrations sending goosebumps all over my body.

Edward stops for a moment, knowing that I need to allow my body to get used to his size.

When I relax in his arms, he starts to move inside me.

He hits it sooooo right that the moans coming out of me would put a porn star to shame.

Edward kisses and licks wherever he can reach on my neck and shoulder and pulls me to him to create the friction I need.

He's making me burn everywhere. Every kiss, every caress and every pull adds fuel to the flame.

He doesn't move slow or fast; he keeps it at a steady place, touching my Abyss of Bliss in places it's never been touched.

Nobody's ever touched me like Edward is touching me.

But right now, I need to be fucked. Hard.

As if reading my thoughts, Edward pulls back and slams into me hard while pulling me to him.

I open my eyes in pleasure and see his hooded ones penetrating mine.

"Yeah, baby. Harder," I moan.

"You want it rough, don't you?" He growls.

"Fuck yeah I do," I pant then bite on his bottom lip as I swivel my hips and ride him fast.

Edward groans and drags the hand that's on my ass to my thigh and stills my movements.

"Hold on tight, baby. I'm going to make you cum on my dick so hard you'll still be trembling tomorrow," he growls in this deep vampiric voice as his eyes turn black again.

"Is that a fucking promise?"

"You bet your sweet ass, it is." He sneers.

"Fuck me," I mutter under my breath.

"That's the plan." Assward smirks and sucks on one of my boobs, flicking the nipple with his tongue.

His thrusts into me, keeping his eyes locked on mine. I close my eyes and just feel.

I can't help but thrust back. The friction that we create has both of us panting and moaning in no time.

Thrusts turn into slams as Edward grabs me roughly by the waist and thigh and fucks me so hard and fast that our bodies make a slapping sound and my orgasm rapidly builds up.

"Oh, fuck, Edward," I moan, gripping on to his neck as I feel myself creeping closer to the edge.

"Yesss." Kiss. "That's it, love." Lick. "Come for me." Suck.

"Fuck, please don't stop, baby," I gasp.

At this point, I'm already trembling from the onslaught of pleasure that Edward's conjuring in me.

"I'm so close," I breathe.

Edward's response is a feral growl and, if possible, fucks me harder, all the while panting and growling and driving me insane.

The sounds and sensations become too much and I feel my walls clenching on him. A hot wave of orgasm rocks through my body and I cry out Edward's name. His thrusts turn erratic and it doesn't take him long to follow as he growls out my name and cums in me.

We hold on to each other, both of us a panting mess. And even after we've caught our breaths, I'm still trembling.

Sooooo, that happened :3

I've been really busy with assignments and researching for prospective grad schools for next year. It's my last year at uni so I'm going to devote most of my time for classes, so I'm sad to say that updates will be few and far in between until I graduate, but I promise I won't give up on this story. E and B will never allow it ;)

For those who don't know, I also have a facebook group called 'Snow's Booty Reads' at: groups/1513022999028191/

Let me know what you thought of this chapter. Loved it, hated it? Where would you like to see them banging each other? Yes, I'm taking requests :3

And since I'm too lazy to go back and read, will anyone tell me if Edward tells Bella how old he is? Thanks a bunch!

Story rec time!
