HAVE A HAPPY FRIDAY & A GREAT WEEKEND READERS --- I'M PASSING ON MY GOOD MOOD BY POSTING AN EXTRA CHAPTER TODAY!

New Home – Part 2 (Lemon)

"Do you like our room as much as I do?" I asked Edward.

I was lying next to him, drawing circles on his bare chest. We had all the lights turned off, letting the moon illuminate our room. Edward's music flowed from his stereo system.

"Very much. I especially like the picture."

"So do I. I like the bedspread a lot, too," I said, running a hand across it. "It's really soft."

He ran his hand down my arm. "Not nearly as soft as you, my love."

"Is that so?" I asked, as I got up on my knees and straddled his lap.

"Nothing feels softer than your skin to me."

"You are so sweet," I said, leaning forward and kissing his lips. "I love all the things you say to me, even if I have trouble believing them all."

He traced my jaw with the back of his hand. "Just what are you having trouble believing?"

"Nothing in particular stands out," I shrugged. "It's sometimes hard to just believe this life with you is real. But I'll take it any way I can get it. Reality, dreaming, either way works for me!"

His hands made their way over to my shirt and started unbuttoning my top.

"Just what do you think you are doing, Mr. Cullen?"

He smiled his crooked grin and flashed his teeth at me. "I was hoping to admire a little more of your perfection, Mrs. Cullen. Besides, it's only fair. You did away with my shirt hours ago."

"I can't help it that I enjoy running my hands across your wonderfully sculpted chest."

"I'm sure you could help it. You just don't try."

"Do you really want me to?" I asked as I ran my hands along the middle of his perfectly sculpted abs.

"Mmmm," he sighed. "Maybe not just yet." Edward took my hands and kissed both palms. He slid my shirt off my shoulders and down my arms. "Have I mentioned that I like that you no longer wear your bra under your pajamas?"

"No, you haven't," I laughed.

"Well, I do," he said as he kissed my neck. "Saves me the trouble."

"I don't think you've ever had trouble with it! I think it just took you a few seconds longer to get your hands on me."

"True," he replied, as his hands gently brushed over the objects of our conversation.

"You've spent a year making love to me. Are you bored with me yet?" I was truly curious of his answer.

"Bella!" he chuckled, as he pulled me into a hug. "Where do these silly questions come from?"

"My freaky brain!" I replied, rolling my eyes at him. "Where else?"

"No matter how many times you grant me the honor of ravishing your perfect body, I will never get enough of you. You are forever my Goddess, Isabella."

"And you will always be my Adonis, Edward. My own personal Greek God."

He chuckled as he kissed my forehead. "You are absolutely, amazingly absurd."

"Thank you!" I said, smiling at him. I ran my finger across the top of his jeans. "So what's it going to take to convince you to do away with these jeans?"

"I thought it would be nice if we cuddled tonight," he smirked.

"You want to cuddle? We are in our brand new room on a brand new bed and you don't want to do anything other than cuddle?" I couldn't believe he was saying that! He was never the one who just wanted to cuddle. My old insecurities started flooding my mind.

Edward leaned close and whispered seductively into my ear. "I said we would cuddle tonight. I never said that's all we would do. Especially considering tonight ends in about twenty-three minutes. I'm sure even you can control yourself for that long."

I sighed at my own silliness. Of course he had only been teasing! "As long as you don't push me, I'm sure I can."

He moved us so that we were lying under the new bedspread together. He kissed the hollow behind my ear and nibbled at my earlobe. "And just what is it you think I would do to push you?"

"You know very well what you do, Edward Cullen." I was shocked I had managed a full sentence. He was cheating! Big time!

"I'm sure I haven't the faintest idea, Bella." He tried to chuckle too low for me to hear, but I caught it.

"Liar! I hear you laughing. You forget my hearing has vastly improved."

"I was hoping you were past the point of paying attention." He chuckled again.

"You are so--" I started, but was quickly interrupted by him nipping my neck. "Cheater!"

"You call me that a lot, Bella."

"You cheat a lot, Edward."

He started with that damn chuckling again. He was doing that weird kissing thing where his tongue touched my skin and made me feel like little sparks of electricity were jumping across my skin … oh, never mind! He could do anything he wanted as long as he kept kissing my neck that way!

"Bella?"

"Yes?" I croaked.

He laughed. "Just wanted to see if you were still paying attention."

"Definitely a cheater," I sighed, lifting my head to give him more access to my neck. I closed my eyes and concentrated on remembering to breathe. I knew I didn't need to now, but it was the only thing that ever helped me to behave.

"Bella."

"Yes, Edward?"

"You are mine forever and I love you."

Yep! The man was an absolute-hands-down-no-competition-necessary cheater with a capital 'C'. He knew what hearing those words did to me and he said it on purpose knowing I wouldn't be able to last until the night technically ended.

I glanced at the clock to see that there was still twelve minutes left. I tried to control myself and remind myself that he was cheating. Irritation would be a good emotion right now.

"My Bella," his husky voice breathed into my face, as he brushed his lips against mine.

That was it! I was done! My hands went into his soft, bronze hair and pulled his face to mine, pressing our lips together in a heated kiss. Our lips parted and our tongues found each other right away. My moan was a lot louder than his, but I still heard it. It only made things worse for me. I wrapped a leg across his hip and pulled myself tighter against him.

He pulled himself away from me and chuckled again. No! I was not going to be the only one getting tortured. I pulled his ear to me and purred long and loud into it. Edward's jeans disappeared before I could let his ear go. Mine followed right after. I smiled coyly at him, pleased to have gotten him back at least a little.

"Bella," he whispered, as he wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Cuddle time's not over yet, Edward," I said softly, dragging my fingertip down his chest and stopping just below his belly button.

"Bella, please!"

"You wanted cuddle time, honey."

"And you call me a cheater," he whimpered against my shoulder.

"Is my big, strong, cheater husband whimpering?" I laughed, running my hand through his silky hair.

"If I answer you, will you stop taunting me?"

"I'll consider it."

"Yes, Bella. Please!"

"I kind of like this, Edward. I'm actually affecting you just as much as you do to me."

"Isabella," he groaned, trying to keep his hands at my hips and not let them roam. Ever the gentleman, he never made a move if he wasn't sure I wanted him to.

"Edward," I whispered into his ear.

"Yes?"

"Make love to me," I purred.

His reply was a growl from deep in his chest. His lips were on mine in the next second, kissing me slowly, but deeply. His hands slowly trailed down from my hips to my thighs and back up again. My arms found themselves around his neck once again with my fingers in his hair.

I moved my head so I could get to his neck for a change. I gave him soft feathery kisses, knowing it drove him crazier than any other type of kiss. He leaned his head back, making it easier for me. I took my hands from his neck and started rubbing them back and forth across his chest and down to his hips. That sexy purring of his started deep in the back of his throat. I smiled against his skin as I continued my slow torture on my husband. I let one of my hands wander past his hip and along his thigh. The muscle in his leg twitched at my touch and I smiled again.

"You're not playing nice," he panted.

"I think I'm playing very nice," I told him, rubbing the back of my hand against him.

His entire body shivered and he pressed his head against my neck. "And you have the nerve to think I could ever get bored with our love making," he grunted.

"You can't blame a girl for wanting to make sure she's pleasing her husband," I said.

"Would you like to know what would please me right now?"

"If you want to tell me," I replied, trying to seem like I didn't care. On the inside, I was bouncing around Alice-style. I couldn't wait to hear what he would say.

Edward moved so that he was staring right into my eyes. His gaze had that intense feeling once again, as if he was looking deep into my soul. "Nothing would please me more than to take you and torture you for hours. I want to pull your hands above your head and keep you from touching back. I want to cover every single inch of your skin with kisses and touches. I want to make you squirm so badly that when I finally enter you, you take off flying right away, calling my name out as you go."

It took me a minute to find my voice. "So what are you waiting for?"

He grinned crookedly as he slowly leaned down to kiss me. He kept his lips from touching me as he gently blew into my face. He took my hands and kissed the palms before lifting my arms above my head. He covered my face in soft kisses as he kept one hand on my wrists and rubbed my side with his other.

He smiled against my lips. "You are every dream I could have ever had come true. Do you know that?"

"You are every dream I did have come true, Edward."

"Then we were clearly meant to be together, love."

"I've been saying that for years, honey."

He chuckled before giving me a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you so very much, Bella."

"I love you, too."

He was true to every word of his little speech. He blissfully tortured me for quite a few hours and I was certainly squirming by the time he stopped. He was slow and tender as he entered me and I did feel the pleasure right away. It wasn't long before I saw sparks behind my closed eyelids as I arched my back and screamed the name of my love out into the night.

When I came back to myself and saw his smirk, I knew I would be in for major teasing from our siblings once we left our room. He only smiled that way when I'd been especially vocal.

"You are hereby ordered to soundproof our room, Edward Cullen," I panted, as I pressed myself against his chest.

He laughed as he kissed the top of my head.

"I'm being perfectly serious, Edward. You always want to spend money on me. Here's your chance. And until you get it done, there will be no more hanky panky going on in this room."

"Bella, are you truly being serious?"

"Yes, Edward, I am."

"Okay … it's going to mess up Esme's wonderful decorating job, though."

"Damn it! Do you always have to cheat?"

He chuckled and tightened his hold on me. "I'm not trying to cheat. I guess I shouldn't torture you for so long anymore."

"It would be nice. You know what would be even better? If you went and took all the teasing upon yourself tomorrow."

"I'm not the one the entire house heard."

"This is so unfair!" I whined.

He chuckled again. His golden eyes were still smoldering in that way that made me forget everything, including my own name.

"Why is this so funny to you?"

"Because, love. Our family isn't home."

"What?"

"They're off checking out the hunting in the park."

"You knew the whole time?" I asked, incredulously.

He smirked and tapped his temple. "They'll be back in an hour. I timed everything."

"Of course you did," I muttered.

"Don't be that way, Bella. You know you had fun."

"Not when I was freaking out, thinking they had all heard me!"

"That was rather cruel of me," he chuckled. "Let me buy you a car to make it up to you."

I laughed and wrapped my arms tightly around him. "You are ridiculous!"

"What I am, dear Bella, is completely and irrevocably in love with you!"

"That's a good thing, Edward. Because I'm the exact same way with you." We held tightly to each other until the sky brightened enough to reveal the gray day ahead of us.

"Would you like to go hunting with me this morning? I thought you might like to come along while I hunt for a change."

I sat up and looked closely at him. "Are you sure? You've never wanted me to go before."

"You're no longer a newborn, Bella. It's time I started acting like it." He rubbed the back of his hand against my cheek. "Besides, it's another excuse to keep you close."

I jumped out of bed and quickly changed into my hunting clothes. I didn't want to give Edward time to change his mind. He chuckled as he got out of bed and put his own clothing on. He took my hand and led me out of the house. When we got into the backyard, he turned me toward him.

"I love you. I want you to know I'm trying to not be so overprotective. It's very hard for me because I love you so much."

"I think you're doing much better if that helps. I never expected you would let me come along with you. I've been ungrounded for awhile now."

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just … you are everything to me, Bella. I can't stand the thought of you getting hurt in any way."

"I promise to be careful and stay out of the way. You have no idea how much it means to me that you have enough confidence in me to let me come with you."

He smiled my favorite crooked grin. "What's a mountain lion compared to the Volturi?"

Edward took my hand in his and we took off running into the woods together. We ran for a long time so I assumed we had crossed over into the park at some point. We headed deep into the forest, into a rocky area with a lot of small caves. No human could easily get here. I wondered if any humans had even made it this far in the last decade. It certainly didn't have any human smells about it. All of the smells around me either came from the lush green of the forest or the dry dust of the rocks.

I smelt his lion before he did, but kept quiet. I was here to observe. When he felt we were close enough, he pointed to a tree. I quickly scurried up it and sat on a nice thick branch. I looked down, ready to watch my husband hunt. I knew he had been holding back when he first took me nearly a year ago. Now I would see how he really did it.

It was an amazing sight. He really did have the grace of a lion. His knees bowed out as he rested on the pads of his feet and hands. He circled slowly around the cave entrance and never once moved any loose debris. The lion only became aware of Edward when a deep challenging growl left his throat.

The lion came out of the cave at a slow pace. With each step, I could see the muscles in its legs quiver with the strain of holding back the urge to strike. The lion stopped at the entrance and turned his head sideways, roaring loudly and showing his teeth to Edward. I was impressed. That was until I watched my husband flash his own set of teeth and let out his own roar. It was one of those rare times when Edward actually looked like a vampire. Only this time, there was no fear in my heart. There was only pride and love and a desire to be just like him. I wanted to be that confident and brave and fearless.

They pounced with only a few seconds difference. Edward was, of course, faster and his teeth were deep into the neck of the lion before it even realized it hadn't hit its mark.

It was time for me to take being a vampire a little more seriously. It was time for me to learn how to fight. I needed to know how to throw a real punch as well as how to duck. I had said I wanted to be a vampire so I could be an asset and not a liability the next time danger came at my family. It was coming in ten months and I was going to need to be able to help my family. And Edward was going to train me to do that. He just didn't know it yet.
