A/N: Thanks to my lovely beta and awbffe NessiesMomma for beta reading.*
*Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or its characters, SM does. I do however want Edward Cullen to spend eternity in my bedroom ;]*
I stood looking myself over in the mirror. To say I was nervous about what waited for me outside that door, was an understatement. Edward had told me to put on my favorite and model it out for him and then continued, by saying we had eternity to try out the rest. I knew when I went shopping with Alice earlier today, that it was all for Edward. I wanted to be the one to bring that hunger out in him, but I don't know if I'm ready to be there just yet.
Things with Edward have been moving fast. But I wasn't entirely sure I was ready to have sex. Though my feelings for Edward were strong and deep, I wasn't in love with him yet. As much as I struggled to refrain from touching him, I didn't want to cross the line before I was ready and regret it. Regret wasn't a word I wanted associated with Edward Cullen.
So here I stood, in the blue nightie that had a jewel encrusted bodice and straps. Alice had mentioned that it was Edward's favorite. Now, I just had to get the courage to walk out the door. I fluffed my hair one last time, making sure it had volume to it. With one last pucker in the mirror I took a deep breath and opened the door.
I tip toed out the door, and there sat Edward leaning back on his elbows in just his jeans. Jeans that were hanging dangerously low on his hips. I bit my lip to keep from moaning. His face turned towards me and his eyes gazed upon my body. He smiled crookedly in approval, and I walked over to him, sitting at his side.
"You look… sexy," he breathed. "Beautiful."
I blushed and his hand went to push my hair back over my shoulder. He leaned in, his breath cool on my neck, as he placed a gentle kiss under my jaw. I shivered in response and he chuckled lightly.
"Relax, Bella."
I exhaled and turned to face him. "I'm just nervous."
"Why? It's not like I haven't kissed you before."
"I'm just not as… experienced as you. I've never--"
He placed his index finger on my mouth, stopping me. "I'm not as experienced as you think." I stared at him confused and he continued. "You're the first girl I've ever kissed."
"How is that even possible?!" I asked shock evident in my voice.
He laughed. "I've never come across a girl worth kissing. Until now." His gaze held such intensity it was hard to look away. "I'm experiencing this all with you, Bella. We can go as slow or as fast as you like. I've waited a century for you. I'm sure I can wait, for however long it takes, until you're ready."
"You're sure?"
"I'll be ready when you are. I want it to be perfect. Just like you."
The emotion welling up inside me couldn't contain itself. I launched myself at him, and latched onto his lips with mine. We fell onto the bed with my legs straddling his. His hands were in my hair bunching it in his fingers. My hands crawled down his body, craving it. His one hand made its way down my back to grab firmly onto my ass. I gasped into his mouth and he only drove his tongue further in.
I could feel his erection between my thighs, and I became desperate for friction. I ground myself against him and he flipped us over placing a hand on my breast.
"I love this color on you, Bella," he growled.
"I know." He paused and stared at me. I giggled. "A little birdie told me."
He nodded. "Alice."
I bit his lip, dragging him back to me. His hand slipped under the top and massaged my breast. Grounding his hips into me I was aching where I needed him most. I slipped my hand between us, running a finger along his V, before reaching for his button and undoing it. I pulled the zipper down with ease and wrapped my hand around his shaft. I squeezed him, and Edward groaned. I rubbed my thumb across his tip and began pumping him.
His kisses became frantic and he reached down lifting up the blue fabric of my nightie and pushing my panties to the side. He ran is finger between my folds, and slipped it inside me. I moaned instantly at the feeling of his cool finger inside my hot core. We worked together bringing each other to the edge. He used his thumb to bring pressure to my clit, sending me into a frenzy.
We were panting and desperate for air. His mouth went to my shoulder nipping at it. I could feel my orgasm building within me. I clenched around his fingers as it took over. I kept pumping him needing him to find release.
As Edward rolled on to his back, I kissed his neck. I kissed my way down his body licking the glistening of his V and wrapped my mouth around his shaft before I had time to think about it. His body immediately stiffened. With my hand moving in time with my mouth, I swirled my tongue around his head and the underside of his shaft.
I looked up and saw Edward's eyes staring hungrily down at me and his fingers clawing at my sheets. I hummed and I knew he was close. I swallowed and pushed hum further into my mouth. Suddenly, a liquid spilled down my throat and as I tasted it, I knew it was Edward. I swallowed all of him and licked him clean. Sitting up I smiled wickedly at him.
"I've always had a fascination with your mouth, but…. wow," Edward stated incredulously.
I bit my lip and he growled. Giggling, I got up.
He grabbed my hand. "And where do you think you're going?"
"The bathroom."
Slapping my ass, he released my hand. "Hurry back."
I walked into the bathroom and rinsed my mouth out with mouthwash. I checked out my appearance and from the hickies along my shoulder and neck, and the haystack that was my hair. I looked thoroughly fucked. And if I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was. Doing my best to smooth out my hair, I finally gave up and returned to Edward.
He was still laying just as I left him. I walked over and laid on his chest. He curled his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.
"So," I began in small voice, "was I okay?"
"Are you serious? Bella, that was amazing." I nodded mutely and he brought his hand to my chin lifting my eyes to meet his. "You shouldn't be so down on yourself. You were amazing. And I didn't doubt that you would be. The things you do to me, Bella, if only you knew."
I reached up for a kiss and he returned it.
"So are you tired?" he asked.
I shook my head. "My bodies on a live wire right now."
He removed his arm from under me and held himself over me. "Good." He leaned down and brought his mouth to mine. He placed kisses along my jaw and down my neck, licking the nape of it. He went along my collarbone and then, pushing away the fabric, he swirled his tongue around my now hardened nipple.
He continued his decent pushing up the fabric and pulling down my panties with the hook of his finger. His cool breath against where I was now aching, sent shivers all over my body. He kissed both of my hip bones and brought his mouth over me. He kissed it softly and brought his tongue to flick against my clit. My body shivered with the contact.
He chuckled and sucked on it and began working me with his tongue. My hands began gripping the sheets and my body rocked against him. Edward lifted my legs over his shoulders and gripped my thighs, pulling me closer to him.
Shoving his tongue inside me, he flattened it completely, and I couldn't control the very loud moan that escaped from my lips. Fucking me with his tongue, he pulled it out and went back to sucking and flicking my clit. He added his fingers to the mix and the dual stimulation was making me insane. With a curve of his fingers inside me, I came undone.
"Ah, fuck." I moaned. "Edward."
Edward lapped me up and finished with a kiss. He kissed his way back up, and finally smiled his crooked smile at me. Taking both my hands I brought his face to mine and attacked his mouth. The taste of me on him made me moan into his mouth and deepen the kiss.
He pulled away, ending with one last chaste kiss. He went to the edge of the bed grabbing my panties and pulling them back on me. He pulled back the covers for me and I went beneath them. I curled into his side and sighed dreamily.
"Happy, love?" he asked.
"Heavenly. Is there anything you aren't good at?"
He chuckled again. "Don't forget your pretty mouth. Which I absolutely loved hearing utter my name in that breathy moan."
I blushed and hid in his side. "Oh, God."
"Don't hide from me. I want you to be comfortable with me. Like you can be yourself, your true self."
I lifted my head back to his chest, "I'm trying."
"I know." He kissed my hair. "Goodnight, Bella."
I closed my eyes just as a familiar lullaby hummed in my ear. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
****
I had woken up to a rain hitting the glass window in my bedroom. Alice was right, as usual, a thunderstorm was well underway. I groggily rubbed my eyes as visions of last night flashed through my memory.
"Morning, Beautiful." Edwards velvet voice murmured in my ear.
I smiled at him. "Morning."
He kissed me. "Ready to umpire some baseball?"
"Wait, I'm umpping?" I asked.
"You're helping Esme."
"Oh," I nodded. "Okay."
I looked over to see him completely changed from what he was wearing the night before. He now wore black sweats that hugged his thighs and a pinstripe baseball jersey that had a gray thermal underneath. I bit my lip.
"Bella,"
I perked up and met his eyes. "What?"
"You have no idea do you?" he questioned. "I'll wait for you downstairs."
He walked over and placed a kiss on my mouth before turning around and dashing out the door. I was left alone, hair a mess, nightie all contorted. I huffed and wondered how I had gotten so lucky.
Walking into the bathroom, I quickly showered and put my hair in a loose braid. I put on dark jeans, a gray thermal, and a plaid button up, pairing them with my favorite converse. I walked out grabbing my Eddie Bauer insulated jacket and dash downstairs appearing beside Edward in the kitchen.
He held out a shiny red apple. "Hungry?"
"Starved." I took it from him taking a huge bite.
Edwards eyes stayed trained on my mouth. I punched him lightly in the arm. I looked around the room and saw Esme, dressed in khakis, a blue thermal, and a white coat, smiling at us.
"Morning, Esme."
"Morning." She smirked, "Have a good night?"
"Yep. I was very worn out."
She laughed and it was like tiny bells. Carlisle then walked into the room and kissed his wife. He was dressed in black pants and the same pinstriped jersey Edward was wearing, that he paired with a scarf.
"Morning, Bella. How are we feeling this morning?"
"Rested," I smiled out. Carlisle truly cared about me. I'd have to thank him for all he had put his family through for me. They risked exposure just make sure I was safe.
"Glad to hear it."
Emmett walked in, fully dressed in a navy tracksuit with his baseball hat tipped to the side, with Rose under his arm. How that girl could make baseball pants, a grey zip-up, and a navy vest look good was beyond me.
Emmett rested his hand under his chin and eyed me. "Rough night, Bella?"
I instantly blushed, and took another bite from my apple. Thankfully, my savior, Edward stepped in, "Why, Emmett? Jealous?"
Emmett laughed. Hard. "Not at all, man. Just a little hard to concentrate. Got a little loud."
Another bite of my apple. Edward walked over and placed his hand on Emmett's shoulder. "Just because you can't please your woman, doesn't mean you have to embarrass Bella."
Esme and Carlisle rang with laughter and even Rosalie joined in. I heard laughter from out in the hall and Alice came dancing into the kitchen with Jasper following behind her. Alice was dressed in black leggings and a thermal with her baseball jersey unbuttoned. Jasper wore dark jeans with a navy baseball tee.
"Is everyone ready?" Alice asked.
We all nodded our heads, and I finished the last bite of my apple, throwing it in the trash. I ran over to Edward, grabbing his hand, and we followed the rest of the family out the door.
"Running? Or driving?" Emmett asked eyes intent on me.
I smiled broadly and winked at Edward. "Running."
Edward and I ran off, not releasing our hands. I didn't know where we were going after all. Edward was truly free when he was running. The wind was pushing his disheveled hair in every direction, and a smile was painted brilliantly on his face. I could keep up with him, unlike the rest of the family, so we were the first ones in the clearing. I stared back in wonder at the open field that already had a make-shift baseball diamond, that I was sure was from the Cullen's constant running. A waterfall could be seen to the left, and it only made the place all that more appealing.
"Wow," I breathed.
Edward stood behind me, wrapping his arms around my body. He placed a kiss on my cheek just as the rest of the family showed up. Jasper quickly placed the bases in their respective places, and the family split up. Edward, Emmett, and Alice on one team. Jasper, Rosalie, and Carlisle on the other. Esme was the designated catcher, so I was to stick with her.
"Just what we need, an umpire," Esme smiled.
Emmett walked past us. "She thinks we cheat."
"I know you cheat. Call them as you see them, Bella,"
Alice took her place at the pitcher's mound with Edward and Emmett in the outfield. Rosalie stood at home plate and Esme crouched down behind it. I stood behind Esme. A blast of lightning could be seen in the background, and thunder rang clear.
"It's time," Alice called.
Rose rotated her bat, and stood ready to swing. Alice pitched the ball, lifting her leg on the release. Rosalie made contact, and I understood why they had waited for a thunderstorm. The ball sailed way back into the forest and Edward raced after it. Rosalie rounded second.
"That's got to be a home run, right?" I asked Esme.
Esme shook her head, "Edward is very fast."
Just as Rosalie was rounding third, the ball came flying from the forest and met Esme's waiting hands. She touched Rosalie's leg just before her foot made contact with the bag.
"Out!" I called.
Rosalie stood up glaring at me before whipping her hair behind her shoulder and sauntering off. Carlisle was next and he held his bat straight for center field. He stood waiting and Alice pitched the ball right to him. He made contact and it soared right where he had pointed. I watched as Edward and Emmett both jumped at the same time, slamming into each other and missing the ball completely.
Edward flipped him off just as Carlisle touched home plate. Jasper went up next, rotating the bat in his hand before shaking his ass a little for Alice.
She smiled, "Don't think I'm going to go easy on you, babe."
"Had a feeling you wouldn't."
Alice pitched the ball and Jasper made a connection. The ball was soaring right towards Emmett. He used a close tree and climbed up it, dropping down with the ball in hand.
"My monkey man," Rosalie whispered in husky voice.
Emmett threw the ball towards Esme just in time to get Jasper out.
Rosalie got up to bat again, hitting the ball far off into right field. Alice all of sudden got this faraway look on her face.
"Stop!" she screamed.
I looked over towards Edward, who paused and stared off into the woods. A menacing glare took over his features and everyone raced toward home plate.
"They were going to leave, but then they heard us." Alice called to Edward.
He grabbed my arm dragging me back toward the direction of the house. "Let's go."
"It's too late," Carlisle stated.
The whole family went to stand in a firm line facing the forest.
"I'm so sorry," Edward stated. "Just be quiet and stand behind me."
He walked over to join the line and I stood close to him. I looked out toward the forest just as three vampires came out of it. One was dressed in faded ripped jeans and a leather jacket. His long hair pulled back into a pony-tail, and he had small accessories scattered throughout his clothing. The other was dark-skinned and had long dreads; he wore dress pants, and a tan jacket. The last one was the female, her hair was a fiery red and she had on jeans, a green t-shirt, and a furry overcoat. I could only assume that these were the vampires Jacob had warned us about.
They stopped a few feet from where we stood. The dark-skinned one held Carlisle's home-run ball and held it up in the air. "I believe this belongs to you."
He threw it and Carlisle caught it. "Thank you."
"I am Laurent. And this is Victoria and James."
"I am Carlisle. This is my family." Carlisle gestured his head towards all of us.
"Hello," Laurent stated.
"I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us."
Hunting activities? I stared up at Edward confused and he squeezed my hand. Letting me know he'd fill me in later. I guess I know knew what was keeping Charlie so busy.
"Our apologies." Laurent pleaded. "We weren't aware the territory had been claimed."
"Yes. Well, we maintain a permanent residence nearby."
"Really?" Laurent snickered looking towards James, whose eyes, I noticed, were trained intently on me. "Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through."
The red-head, Victoria, spoke up. "The humans were tracking us. We led them East. So don't worry your pretty little heads."
"Excellent." Carlisle nodded.
"So," Laurent laughed, "could you use three more players?" When no one answered he continued. "Oh, come on. Just one game."
"Sure. Why not? A few of us were leaving. You could take their places. We'll bat first." Carlisle threw the ball at Victoria.
She caught it and snickered. "I'm the one with the wicked curve-ball."
"Well, I think we can handle that." Jasper stated.
Everyone laughed and went their ways, except Edward and James. His eyes hadn't moved from my body and I knew Edward could read exactly where his thoughts were going. James cocked his head to the side. Victoria stopped in her spot to see James looking my way and snarled in my direction. Edward stood defensively over me and James laughed.
And when James breathed in, his face contorted into one of confusion. "What are you?"
That's it for now folks. Reviews are almost as good as an Edgasm.
