BPOV
I hated Carmen, that's all there is to it. Today started out okay with the exception of Emmett waking me up, but other than that things were good.
Carlisle picked me up like usual for my appointment. Last week after my check up, he said he was afraid that I would need to have surgery again. Where the break was, it seemed to crack up towards my spine. He said thankfully I wouldn't need a rod completely in my back just a partial one.
The whole idea of surgery made me want to cry. The pain was finally becoming bearable and Edward was all kind of good at making me feel pleasure. Though thrusting and arching were definite no-no's Edward still found ways to touch me.
Things played in my mind… our future. Those things being Edward and I finally being able to make love, me walking to him when we were finally able to get married, and the idea of chasing around a couple more children.
All of those things I wanted now made Carmen a fucking bitch. She knew these were things Edward and I wanted. She used these things to push me.
Right now I was thinking maybe I didn't want any of those things because if the pain was going to be like this…fuck it!
"Bella, we only have one more lap." She purred in her fucking perfect Italian accent.
"It fucking hurts." I panted trying to take another step.
"Sweetie, you're doing so well." Esme encouraged from the side of the pool.
I kicked my legs or at least attempted some kind of treading in the water. The good thing about this kind of therapy was the water made it slightly easier to move. Another plus was that I had my cast removed the other day and now have two functioning hands. I breathed and panted until we reached the shallow end. Esme met us so she could help get me out.
We made it to the lounger, where my pillows were waiting for me. Esme fussed all over me repeating more words of love and encouragement. I definitely could feel my face pucker in frustration.
"Es, give her room to breathe." Carlisle chucked walking out on the patio.
"I am." She argued pushing my wet hair out of my face.
"Bella did wonderfully today." Carmen told him collecting her stuff.
"Good to hear." He smiled squeezing my hand.
"Today sucked." I grumbled.
"No negativity." Esme chastised.
"I'll be seeing you Friday Isabella." Carmen sang.
I didn't give her the satisfaction of letting her know I knew she existed. So I remained silent. I felt Esme's fingers brush through my hair soothing me like it did when I was little.
"How about we get you dry and then you can take a nap?" she suggested.
"So I'm a fucking infant?" I spat.
"Did I say that?" she asked furrowing her brow.
"No…" I trailed off. She made me feel bad for behaving like this, but I was tired of having to go through all this pain.
"Let's get you upstairs Bellerina." Carlisle said scooping me up.
I looked up into his kind blue eyes and cried. These people were my family and they actually cared about me. They put up with my shit because they loved me. My back also really fucking hurt.
"No crying." He said softly.
I glanced over his shoulder to where Esme was following us. She smiled warmly at me. We made our way to the guestroom and Carlisle gently laid me down on the bed.
"Take a nap, sweetie." Esme murmured.
"I don't want to," I pouted.
"Quit being petulant." She scolded lightly.
I remained frowning, but she ignored me humming a song that was familiar yet I couldn't pin point it. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
"Wake up, love," Edward whispered kissing my jaw line.
"Mmm." I moaned snuggling closer to him. "How long have I been out?"
"An hour," he said. "Mom told me not to bother you."
"I like you bothering me." I murmured lightly drawing my lips from just under his jaw back to below his earlobe, nuzzling him softly.
And that's when our moment was killed, he smelled like sweat and outside. When I pulled back, his face was disoriented causing me to giggle.
"You stopped." He sighed.
"You smell." I said frankly.
"I smell?" he asked skeptically.
"Yeah, you're all gross," I paused. "I love you, but you're all gross and boy like."
"I'm a boy so that makes sense." He shrugged.
"Shower," I ordered pointing towards the guest bathroom.
He listened to my demand; he knew that there was no way I was going to lay with him smelling like that. He hurried into the bathroom.
After a few minutes of hearing the water running, I couldn't take it. I remembered that he was naked in there. Then my brain decided to run flashes of naked Edward.
I looked around the room to see if maybe Carlisle or Esme left my crutches nearby. My eyes spotted them at the foot of the bed. Bingo!
I gently scooted down so I could get them and began my slow hobbled journey to the bathroom. I swear to God at this rate he'll be out of the shower.
I bit my bottom lip nervously as I peeked in the door of the steamy bathroom. I hobbled in and closed the door behind me.
My eyes caught site of his ass and it was the most glorious thing on the planet. Even if the running makes him all smelly it still keeps that ass in shape.
I pulled off the over sized shirt and panties I was wearing. I made my way to the shower door and opened it; the clicking sound startled him, making him turn around.
"Hey, how did you get in here?" he smiled.
"I hobbled the entire way." I grinned, latching my arms around him so I wouldn't fall.
"You hobbled?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah, I smell like chlorine so finish your shower… I need one," I teased.
"Join me, that way we can save water," he suggested seductively, still holding me gently.
"If I join you all the hot water in the house will run out." I giggled.
He leaned forward and captured my lips in a sweet kiss. "Please," he whispered against my mouth. A shot of desire ran through me as his fingers traced patterns on my leg.
"Edward…" My warning wasn't going to get me anywhere. Just seeing his sinful body in the shower already had me turned on and the idea of naked shower time had adrenaline and hormones coursing through my body, creating an inevitable wave of want for him.
When his fingers reached my ass, he gently kneaded it as he smiled against my lips before kissing me again, more eagerly this time.
"I love how you taste," he moaned, as I tried taking charge by pushing him backward towards the shower wall. His eyes wandered over my body, as I placed both hands on his shoulders to steady myself. He pulled my face to his and kissed me deeply; dipping my head back just enough to wet my hair. His hands moved into my hair, massaging the warm water through the strands until it was completely wet. He pulled his lips from mine and examined me. "You are stunning like this," he said adoringly, brushing the wet hair out of my face.
"Get used to it," I smirked, letting my left hand slide across his shoulders and down his chest to meet his now evident arousal. I stroked his hard length once from base to tip, and then watched his face as I circled the smooth head with my thumb. A look of pure joy crossed his face.
"God…Bella…" he growled, his eyes fighting to remain open finally slid closed. I slid my hand back down his shaft, slowly lowering myself to the padded bench in the shower and let my tongue make its journey to him.
"Bella…" he panted. His hands were in my hair again and he tenderly held my head. I circled his tip with my tongue, as I had done with my thumb moments ago. All my senses heightened, the smallest hint of his salty sweetness was delicious on my tongue.
"Love…" he groaned.
I loved doing this for him. He had been so patient with me through my recovery and this was the only thing I could give him right now.
I pumped my hand slowly, and circled my tongue with each lick, finally taking just his head into my mouth and began lightly sucking. His heavy breathing indicated he was definitely enjoying my teasing. As I slid my hand down to cup his balls, my mouth followed, surrounding as much of him as I could. I closed my lips and began sucking and licking him slowly at first, up and down, stopping every so often to give attention to his glistening tip.
"Bella…Bella," he chanted, as I worked my mouth over him. His hands were tightening in my hair and I knew he was close to coming, so I let him guide me into the rhythm that would bring him immense pleasure. As I felt him increasing his pace, I slid one hand around to his ass and pulled him deeper inside with each thrust. He exploded in a cry of satisfaction that echoed against the tiled walls of the shower.
I gripped his arms as I stood; he enclosed me in his arms and buried his face in my neck.
"You are my heart," he breathed, kissing and sucking the Bella sweet spot, before tracing his tongue along my jaw to my mouth. He continued his kisses capturing my lips gently between his. His tongue lapped at my lower lip tenderly, and I opened my mouth to him. He continued the motion of his tongue against mine, slowly increasing the depth and speed until our mouths were entwined in a loving kiss. His hands slid around my upper back as he pulled me against him. I could feel him beginning to stir again. "You're greedy," I mumbled against his lips.
"It's your fault," he nearly growled, placing me back on the padded bench. He began a journey of his own toward what would definitely be my downfall.
"Edward!" I whispered in shock, trying to get him to stop even though I didn't want him to stop. My concern for my own pain became less important as he placed a tender kiss to my core causing me to whimper.
"Who's greedy now," He murmured against me.
"Ugh," I moaned shifting uncomfortably.
"We're stopping here because I know I will only hurt you if I had my way," he smirked.
"Tease," I mumbled.
"Come on," he smiled, reaching for the body wash.
He was careful as he washed my body. Taking his time with every area. I wanted to cry at his gentleness. The last time I was in the shower with him like this I was eight months pregnant.
"I love you." I whispered, as he finished up.
He gave me his crooked smile and turned the water off. "Sit, he commanded.
I watched as he grabbed towels, placing one on the toilet lid. I looked at him curiously, as he stood me up and wrapped the towel around me. I didn't realize this before, but his face was conflicted.
"What's wrong?" I asked as he sat me down on the plush towels on the toilet lid.
"Having a bit of an off day, I guess." He sighed rubbing his face.
"I made it better?" I asked, grabbing one of the towels wrapping it around him.
"You always make it better." he grinned, kneeling in front of me.
"Then what's with the face?" I insisted, letting my fingertips brush his frown lines.
He turned his head enough so he could kiss my fingers. "I love you, so much. You and I are forever."
"Well duh," I giggled taking his face in my hands kissing him passionately. "Speaking of our love and ties of forever, where's Mackenzie?"
"Rose wanted to have a girl's night with her." He smiled, but it was forced.
"So we have the house to ourselves." I grinned as he scooped me up.
"Actually, I was thinking we could stay here for the night." He suggested placing me on the bed.
He let his towel drop and lightly pulled mine away. I watched his lusty green eyes glaze over, but he surprised me by pulling the blankets over us.
"You want to stay here when we own a huge comfy house?" I questioned cuddling closer to him.
"Wouldn't it be nice to spend some time with my parents?"
"Yes, but I think they might get tired of having me around so much," I replied sadly. I was horrible earlier.
"That's a lie you know they both adore you." He admonished.
"Fine, but can we lay like this for a while?"
"I love you," was all he said as his hand gently roamed my body.
Something was up with him and I had to figure out what.
