Thanks to my favorite beta, Aurora18!

This story is rated M for Language, Possible Violence, Sexual content, and Adult Situations.

In this story the relationship between E/B will move forward kind of quickly, because in my Twilight mind they are soul mates who don't want to waste time and recognize their other halves.

Sorry it's so late. My beta was really busy and I've had a shitty week! : [

Thanks for all your reviews! This one is a little longer than the rest. Hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER SEVEN

BPOV

Waking up in Edward's arms was kind of surreal; he was warm, smooth, and firm in all the right places. The way he held me tightly against his side, even in his sleep, showed he wanted to keep me close and the feeling was definitely mutual. I was afraid when I woke up this morning that he'd be gone because I freaked him out with how forward I was last night by asking him to stay with me, but apparently I had nothing to worry about. I loved to cuddle with Edward.

I was still in the same position I had fallen asleep in last night, so with my head still on his chest I lifted up slightly to get a better look at his sleeping face. If it was possible, he looked even more beautiful as he slept, he just looked so peaceful. His face was relaxed and bare of any worry lines, his soft pink lips were slightly parted, and his warm breath ruffled the hairs at the top of my head with each of his exhalations.

I rubbed my hand over his heart and I was rewarded with a soft, pleasurable sigh. I decided to take this extra time while he was still asleep to explore his many attractive features.

His chest and abdomen were very firm and toned and he had a well defined six-pack without even having to flex his muscles. I blushed as I saw that below his belly button he had a small trail of hair leading to his nether-regions. I then turned my attention to his arms and yeah, you could definitely tell he worked out on a regular basis. I loved the muscles and the veins there; all I wanted to do was spend hours tracing them all over. I loved that just by looking at him you could tell he was really strong and well in-shape.

He wouldn't have any problems lifting me if necessary…..

My small touches must have woken him up, because he spoke in a deep morning voice that made my lady bits tingle and moisten, "Mmm…..you know, everywhere you touch me I feel this vibrating sensation. Feels incredible." He said this with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.

Chuckling at his comment I responded, "I know. I thought it was just me that felt it…that has to mean something good right?" My statement came out as more of a question and I was worried suddenly that he would disagree.

"How can anything having to do with you be bad, sweet girl?" Edward pressed his face into the top of my head to sniff my hair then to kiss my forehead.

I wanted to kiss him, but I had to do something first. I moved to get up from the bed but he tightened his arm around me, refusing to let me go. "Where do you think you're going Angel?"

"I'm just running to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

"OK. Hurry back to me."

I quickly stepped into the bathroom to relieve my bladder, because if I left it any longer it could be well…embarrassing. When I finished I moved to the sink and stopped short when I saw my reflection. My hair was all over the place and I had sleep in the corners of my eyes. Yuck. I looked a mess. I washed my hands and face and then moved to brush my teeth and wrestle the tangles out of my hair. When I was satisfied with my clean up I walked back to bed and climbed in back beside Edward. He turned fully onto his right side and moved closer toward me wrapping his arms around my body and placed his left hand placed on my hip.

I stuffed my face into his neck and just breathed him in and he did the same to me. How was it possible for him to smell so good all the time?

After a few moments I lifted my face to capture his lips with mine. I'd waited all morning for this and he did not disappoint.

The kiss was slow but hungry and I loved it. I loved the pleasure and pressure building between us and never wanted it to end. I brought my hand up to his head to run my fingers through his hair. I don't know how it happened, but soon after we started our passionate kissing, I found myself on my back with Edward hovering over me.

Not that I was complaining or anything…

The slight weight of his body he had on me coupled with his kisses and touch had me incredibly aroused. I moaned loudly and was a little embarrassed by it, until he groaned and pressed his arousal into my hip.

Without speaking we could tell what the other wanted, and we both wanted more so Edward lifted his leg and nudged his knee between my legs to press his thigh into my heated core. The friction was just what I needed.

"You have the softest, sweetest skin Bella. I just want to melt into it and never leave."

Edward traced light patterns on my hip before moving his hands up onto my stomach underneath my tank top. I wanted to feel his callous, manly hands on my breasts but I knew I had to remain patient and allow him to go at his own pace. I wouldn't complain. Everything Edward did to me caused my body to react in sinful ways.

His hand began to move up slowly; as if he was afraid I would push him away and refuse him. He pulled back a little and asked me with his eyes if it was alright for him to proceed.

I quickly nodded like the little wanton women Edward had created and gave him permission to go on. His fingertips caressed the underside of my breast, then he trailed feather light touches to my hardened nipple and swirled circles around my areolas before pinching my nipple between his thumb and forefinger a little more firmly. After doing this for a while he cupped the weight of my full breast in his hand and moaned my name.

I don't know what possessed me to do what I did next, but I pulled back from Edward's kisses, grabbed onto the edge of my tank top and pulled it over my head.

Edward nearly choked on air when he saw my bare breasts before him. I heard him whisper 'so beautiful', before he bent his head down and took my nipple into his warm, wet mouth. I tossed my head back as the shivers ran through my body. With the combined friction of his thigh pressing into my core and my nipple between his lips, I was very close to have my second orgasm in my twenty-two years and I wanted to bring him with me. I reached down and stroked his length through his pants.

"Oh damn. Bella you're gonna make me come baby," he groaned with his lips still against my breast.

I was still panting…hovering on the edge. "I want you to come with me Edward."

He pressed down a little harder onto me and I tightened my grip and stroked him quicker, while he lightly bit down on my nipple. I wondered briefly if I was doing this correctly, but the thought soon faded because apparently that was all it took to push us both over the proverbial edge. I squeezed my eye close and called out his name loudly as I came. Edward let out something between a whimper and a grunt and slumped on top of me after his climax. I voiced my thoughts after we both caught our breaths.

"That was….I have…no words to describe how fantastic that was."

"I know just what you mean sweetheart. Thank you, Bella."

I didn't understand why he was thanking me, "Why are you thanking me Edward?"

He held me to his chest while he spoke, "I'm thanking you for letting me be the one to experience these things with you. For letter me touch you and see you that way. You mean so much to me and I'm so grateful for you Bella."

His words caused a whirlpool of emotions to swell inside me, and I knew I had already fallen for this sweet man. I was in love and it felt phenomenal. He was always showing me that I meant more to him, he makes me feel special, beautiful, like I'm the only woman in the world, and I told him so. I wanted him to know how he made me feel every moment I was with him.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked him in my post pleasure bliss.

He answered forlornly, "Well the storm had actually started to clear out last night and its Sunday so we would need to pack up so we can head home today."

"Oh." Disappointment clouded my thoughts. I wasn't ready for us to leave our little bubble.

Edward sat up with his back against the head board and motioned for me to sit between his legs with my back to his chest. When I was comfortably seated he wrapped his arms around my waist and caressed my stomach under the sheet I held to my chest. I was still topless.

After a few minutes he cleared his throat, "Bella, I want to ask you something. I know it's going to sound a little juvenile but, if I don't ask I'm going to regret it."

I was nervous now but I wanted to calm him so I placed my hand on top of his and rubbed softly, "You can ask me anything Edward."

"Is it too soon for me to ask you to be my girlfriend? I know it may seem a little too soon for most people, but I want you to be mine Bella. I wanted you to know exactly where I stood. I want to be with you and only you."

He didn't realize how happy he had just made me. Yeah, it may seem a little too soon for most people but we weren't most people. Edward and I were in a league of our own. I wanted to be his just as much as I wanted him to be mine.

When I turned around to face him, I must have had the biggest grin on my face, because just seeing my face made him smile just as big. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend Edward. I want you to be mine too. I lo-…I adore you Edward. You mean so much to me." I can't believe I almost slipped. I was dying to telling him, but I felt I should wait a little bit.

"My sweet, sweet girl. I adore you too, so very much." He said this with so much tenderness, it made me weak in the knees. It was hard to remove our smiles from our faces as we kissed to seal the deal.

"Why don't we get showered then I can go make us some breakfast."

"Bella," he said in a warning tone, but I wasn't giving up that easily.

I made sure to pout before turning back to Edward, "Please, Edward. I want to cook one more breakfast here before we go back to the real world."

He gently cupped my cheek and brushed the hair out of my face with his other hand. "Sweetheart, this will not be your last stay here. I come here every weekend if I can. We can come back next weekend and you can cook to your heart's content."

I giggled at this, "Thank you, Edward."

He kissed my cheek before releasing me, "Anything for you."

We went our separate ways to shower, both silently agreeing that being in close quarters naked, could lead to things we didn't want rushed. So after showering I pulled my hair into a pony tail, dressed in another pair of ripped jeans and my comfy purple Nike sweater, then paired it with my purple Nike sneakers. I added a little mascara and peach colored lip gloss before packing the few belongings I had and heading downstairs to cook.

I put together a meal of meaty omelets and cinnamon rolls by the time Edward came treading down the stairs wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers. We were a match made in heaven.

"Whatever you're cooking smells good. I could smell it all the way up the stairs," he said excitedly as he walked around the kitchen island to me and kissed the back of my head, then leaned back on the island behind me. I don't know why but he seems to love watching me cook. He let out an appreciative whistle looking at my shoes and said, "Nice kicks."

I blushed at that. I thought men liked when their girls wore stilettos, but I noticed Edward liked whatever I wore, and thought I looked sexy even in sneakers. Edward loved his Nike's so he may have been a little bias. "Thanks. I made enough rolls for you to take on the road with you," I said to him with a slight turn of my head.

"Bella you say that as if you won't be with me."

Even though he wasn't touching me I could still feel him behind me. His masculine presence made me feel safe and comforted, even from across the room.

"Well, I need to find a working phone to call a tow truck, and then have you drop me off at my truck, while I wait for them to come."

He scoffed and stepped a little closer towards me. "Bella, do you really think I'm going to drop you off in the middle of a deserted road, alone, while you wait for some strange man to come get you and your truck?" He didn't wait for me to answer. "Hell no, Bella. Do you know how worried I would be with you out there by yourself with no way to contact me to call for help?"

He was really getting worked up over this, so I quickly removed the pan from the burner, turned around, and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry Edward, I didn't mean to make you worry, but I know you have things to do and didn't want to assume you'd wait with me. I don't want to be a burden."

He wrapped his arms around me with one hand resting low on my lower back near my rear and the other he moved under my shirt to rub against the skin of my hips and waist. I sighed because I loved when he did this. It comforted the both of us when there was some kind of skin to skin contact. He placed a few soft chaste kisses against my mouth before pulling back.

"Baby, you could never be a burden to me. I know our relationship is new, but that's what I want you to do Bella. I want to be the one person you call when you need something. I want to take care of you."

"It's not your job to take care of me Edward. I don't want to be one of those needy girlfriends."

"That's what boyfriends do Bella. They're supposed to take care of their girlfriends. And you're far from needy, you're really independent and that's something I love about you, but never be ashamed to ask for help when you need it Bella."

I sighed giving in, "Your right Edward, I'm sorry. Would you mind waiting with me?"

"You don't even have to ask; of course I'm waiting with you. I also need to call my business partner to see what I've missed these passed couple of days."

"OK, well I've already packed, so we can eat and get ready to head out if you want."

With one more kiss to my temple he released me and helped me make our plates. We ate breakfast fairly quickly and started loading our bags straight away. When I stepped outside I was surprised at what I saw, there were some strewn broken branches tossed here and there, puddles of muddy water, and leaves practically covered the whole car.

"Oh no. Do you think the car is ok?" I asked him in shock.

"It's fine Bella. Just really wet and dirty is all."

We neatly loaded the car and walked back to the house. I stopped right outside the front door, closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I loved the smell of fresh rain in the air. It was second to the smell of Edward.

"You ok Bella?" Edward asked me with an amused look on his face once I opened my eyes.

I smiled with him, "Yes, I just love that fresh earthy smell, is all."

"Well, are you ready hit the road, silly girl?"

I nodded my head and walked into the house to grab the Tupperware container filled with cinnamon rolls, gave the cabin one last longing look and walked back to the car. Edward made sure everything was locked up and the alarm system was on before getting into the car and backed down the dirt driveway. I couldn't wait to come back. I was already missing the place.

He intertwined our fingers and held them over the stick shift. "There's a little area a few miles back where we should get some reception to make our phone calls."

"Ok." I leaned my head back against the head rest and just watched him.

He chuckled lightly and asked without removing his eyes from the road, "Why are you staring at me like that."

"You're just really gorgeous you know that? I'm a very lucky girl."

He smiled sheepishly at my compliment, "Thank you sweetheart, but you're the gorgeous one."

I shook my head at his words, "Really Bella, you just don't see yourself clearly."

I didn't dispute how he saw me. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't an insecure person, though I did have my moments. I just never felt as beautiful as I did when I was with Edward. He made me so comfortable in my own skin and felt I would be doing him an injustice if I didn't own it. So, I chose to do just that. If he said I was beautiful, I was going to feel and believe I was beautiful.

Soon after leaving we pulled over next to a huge clearing with a few trees. Edward grabbed his phone and dialed his business partner. Wanting to give him some privacy, I stepped out of the car and dialed AAA. I turned toward the window to look into the car while the agent helped me, and saw Edward watching me carefully, like he was afraid I was going be snatched away or something. I gave him a small reassuring smile to let him know I was ok. The agent told me it would about forty-five minutes, so that gave us just enough time to drive back to my truck.

Once I got back into the car Edward was done with his phone call so I let him know it would take forty-five minutes for the tow truck to get there, and we were back on our way. Again he grabbed my hand but this time he brought it to his lips and kept it there. He wasn't quite kissing it, just caressing the back of my hand with his lips. I loved these tender moments with him, hoping they would never end.

We arrived at my truck shortly after, and I was not surprised by the state it was in. Mud, dirt, leaves, and water clung to it. It looked like it had been through a tornado and tossed back in its spot.

When I looked to Edward he had his face pinched in a way that showed his distaste for 'the beast'. "We need to get you a new car Angel."

"Don't even think about it, Edward Cullen," I warned him.

He attempted to look innocent like he had no idea what I was talking about, raised his hands and lifted his shoulders, as if to say 'I have no idea what you're talking about.' I knew better though. I knew his mannerisms by now and that made me feel all warm inside, because it let me know that I actually knew Edward and who he is, just as he knew me. Even though he said I was sometimes hard to read, he already knew me better than I knew myself in most ways. This only added to my belief in the fact that whole soul-mates do exists and that we were made for each other. I already loved that man with my whole being and that feeling of love had me on cloud nine.

We both turned toward to look behind us as we heard the sound of the tow truck as it pulled in behind my truck. Edward and I stepped out of the Charger to go meet the driver of the tow truck and Edward stepped over to me and held my hand.

The man stepped out of the tow truck, which I hated to admit it, was the stereotypical fat sweaty bald guy. He wore the standard mechanic uniform with the name Bob stitched over his left chest pocket. He stuck out his hand for me to shake, and when I did it was sweaty and thick. It was difficult for to me to contain my shudder.

"Hey, the names Bob. Are you the pretty little thing that called for a tow?" He asked in a deep scratching voice that showed signs of years of smoking.

"Hi. Yes, I'm Bella and this is my boyfriend Edward." I still couldn't help but internally giggle like a school girl at the title. By the smile on his face I could tell Edward loved it too.

Bob however paid Edward no mind and continued to look me up and down lasciviously.

Edward noticed this at the same time I did, so he cleared his throat loudly to get Bob's attention off of me, and wrapped his arm protectively around my waist. Bob just smirked at this and proceeded to move to the back of my truck to inspect it and get it settled on the back of the tow.

When he was done he came back over to me to with the same disgusting smirk on his face and asked in what I assume was supposed to be his 'sexy voice', "So little lady, why don't you go ahead and hop into the passenger seat and we'll be on our way." then turned to Edward and in an indifferent manner, told him he could leave and that he would 'take it from here.'

My mouth dropped open and I began to stutter, "I..I…we…

Thank God Edward saved me from blurting our something that didn't make sense and with an edge in his voice he spoke, "Actually, she's riding with me, and you can follow us to our destination." He didn't wait for a response, just placed his hand on the small of my back and led me back to the car. He opened my door for me and made sure I was settled before closing the door and going around getting in the drivers seat.

He was so upset I could almost feel the steam emanating from beneath his clothes. I ran my hand up his shoulder and around to the back of neck to try to get him to relax.

"Edward. It's ok. I know that guy was a creep, but-" he interrupted me.

"...but he's lucky I didn't kick his fucking ass."

Did I mention how hot he made me when he curses and his jaw clenches? So damn sexy

I wanted to distract him so I decided to voice my thoughts. "You know, you're really sexy when you're angry."

Edward sputtered for a moment and after catching his mental bearings he finally settled on a cocky smirk, "So, you think I'm sexy huh?"

I playfully slapped his chest and indulged him in his ego boosting, "You know you're sexy. You're number one on Peoples' sexy list,remember?"

"Bella, I don't care what those people think. Your opinion is the only one that really matters to me," was his reply.

I swooned at this and whispered shyly, "You make me feel like I matter."

He captured my hand to kiss the inside of my palm and spoke against the skin there, "Sweetheart, you will always matter to me."

I dropped my chin down to my chest in an attempt to hide my sniffle and hold back the tears. He made me feel so incredibly special.

"Bella, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, Edward. I was just thinking about how special you make me feel just by the small things you say or do. Just wait until we start meeting each other's parents. My mom's going to absolutely love you for making her baby girl so happy." I smiled back at him.

He laughed at that then asked a little nervously, "What about your dad? Do you think he'll like me?"

I turned back to look straight ahead and sighed before answering, "Once he get's it in his head that Jake and I are never going to happen, sees you're what I want and how well you treat me, he will love you too."

"Well, seems like I'm going to have my work cut out for me," he said dryly.

"It won't be that bad when the time does come, trust me."

The remainder of the drive was spent in a comfortable silence after giving him my address, and soon we were pulling up to my apartment complex.

I had Bob unload my truck in the parking garage and kindly sent him on his way. Edward grabbed my bags out of the back of my car and offered to carry them up to my apartment for me.

I paused before opening my door so I could warn him about the clutter of boxes and walked inside.

"Welcome to my humble abode. Sorry about all the boxes I still have lots of unpacking to do."

"Don't worry about it. Your apartment is really nice and cozy. Even without unpacking it still looks lived in."

"Yeah, I came up here a few days before meeting you to bring up some things I didn't trust the movers with and to buy groceries. So, luckily I have my bedding, books, and food."

Edward began to shuffle his feet and lowered his head, like he needed to say something but was hesitant.

"I know it's still early but I should be going, I have a few things I need to do to get ready for tomorrow," Edward said forlornly. He continued after a pregnant pause where neither of us moved an inch. "What do you have planned for tomorrow?" We weren't in any hurry to remove ourselves from the other's presence.

"Well, tomorrow's my first day of work and after that nothing really."

"How are you going to get to work tomorrow?" he asked me in concern.

"Well, I'm going to call Jake after I finish unpacking to see if he can come take a look at it since he's the one who put it together, so I'll be ok taking a cab tomorrow. Don't worry Edward, I'll be fine."

"Are you sure Bella, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride tomorrow."

Sometimes this man was just too sweet for words, and I wanted to hold him, so I walked to him and wrapped my arms around his firm warm waist and buried my face in his chest.

"Edward I already heard you say how early you have to be at the office. I'll be fine taking a cab for one day." He understood me even though my words were a little muffled.

"Ok." He let me go reluctantly and walked towards the front door. "Will you call me before bed so I can say goodnight? I want your voice to be the last one I hear before I go to sleep tonight."

I reached up to kiss him one more time before answering him, "Of course I will. I was planning to do that anyway." He gave me another long searing kiss before pulling back and just gazing into my eyes, as if he was looking for something. Whatever he was looking for, he obviously found because he gave me one more lingering chaste kiss and that panty dropping smile before saying he would talk to me later and slowly walking out the door, down the hall, and into the elevator. I hated to watch him go, but I knew I would talk and see him soon. I watched him until I couldn't see him anymore, closed my door, and then leaned against the back of it with a smile on my face.

God how I love that beautiful, sweet man and I couldn't wait to be in his arms again.

A/N: I know, I know. There's a lot of fluff in this story, but I can't help it. I love them being all lovey-dovey. Don't worry though, there will be some drama coming soon. I'm going to give it in small doses, then hit you with the big guns. LOL. I promise you'll love it though.

Right now we're just getting to know them and trying to understand the love they share.

The next chapter is almost finish so it shouldn't take as long as this one to post, but we'll see. Thanks for sticking with me.

Thanks to all my followers by adding my story to your favorites. I feel the love!
