Sorry it took me a little time to get on with this... I had to rewrite it. Hope you enjoy!

As always without Binky911 my smut adjuster... I am nothing.


Chapter 17

~ Bella POV ~

Cradled in his arms, I nuzzled into his chest as the veil of sleep slowly started to lift. A shiver ran through my body as I inhaled the scent that was Edward.

"Cold, Sweetness?" he asked. I liked this new pet name.

"Mmmm, no. It's just being this close to you. It does crazy things to my body."

"Oh, really? I like doing crazy things to your body." He laughed. His voice was different here in person. It was sexy over the phone but feeling it resonate through him here beside me… I shivered again, goose bumps forming on my body.

"How long have you been awake?"

He glanced at the clock on the nightstand, "An hour or so I think."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I was enjoying laying here with you." He kissed the top of my head, "I've spent too many mornings wishing I was holding you. I just wanted to enjoy it and I kinda like watching you sleep." Just then my stomach started to rumble. Way to spoil a moment. "Sounds like maybe you're hungry. I think I saw a pancake place on the way here yesterday. What do you say, feel like a little something to eat?"

"But I'm so very comfortable right now." I grumbled and stretched and realized almost every joint was a little sore. Not painful really. That 'good' sore like after you've worked out at the gym and had I ever worked out. Last night had been a marathon. Edward was incredible. He could hold out forever, rocking my body through orgasm after orgasm, seeming to take pleasure from the act alone and not rushing for completion. He seemed fascinated by my ability to multiple, cumming over and over again for him and found it a game to see just how many times he could do this. I believe we counted eight before I was simply exhausted and fell asleep.

He slid out of the bed and flipped open his bag to pull out some clothes. I watched him as he pulled jeans up over his long legs and bare ass and my mouth gaped as he flexed the cheeks to squeeze into them. Every line on his body appeared to have been carved by a mastermind like Michelangelo. After pulling on a Stoli t-shirt he placed my bag on the bed, unzipped it and flipped it open.

"Shall I dress you, Madam?" He made a huge sweeping gesture that sent me into a fit of laughter.

"I would rather your job be to undress me, kind Sir."

"I am at your service Madam, however you already seem to be in a state of undress. Perhaps there is some other way I could be of service to you?" He teased as he pulled me out from underneath the warm blankets. He started kissing my ankles trailing kisses up my leg then my tummy grumbled again.

"But first my lady, I shall feed you."


Everything on the menu looked so good. We never did make it to dinner last night. During the epic sex session Edward had managed to make his way down the corridor and had come back with a few bags of popcorn, chips, chocolate and a couple of sodas from the vending machines. Needless to say, I was feeling ravenous. When my crepes with whipped cream and berries arrived, I shamelessly coated them with a heavy layer of syrup and dug right in. Edward watched me, apparently astonished that there were women out there who actually enjoyed eating.

A little syrup and whipped cream missed my mouth and started to roll from the corner of my mouth down my chin. I raised my napkin to wipe it away and Edward's hand shot out so fast to grab my wrist that I actually jumped. He leaned in towards me and licked the syrupy trail from my chin and then licked the rest off my lips, gently sucking in the bottom one. Of course this led to an unabashed display of PDA. We were lost in that kiss until an older gentleman at the next table coughed loudly. It was clearly meant for us to notice that we were not alone. We both blushed and lowered our eyes back to our plates and finished off our meals.


~ Edward POV ~

That tiny bit of syrup and whipped cream on her chin was an opportunity to taste her that I could not let her wipe away. Once I did I only wanted more until that old man coughed so loudly that it brought us to the attention of most of the tables close to us. I made a mental note that whipped cream, syrup and Bella were a pleasurable combination that must be duplicated at our earliest convenience.


We were in Bella's red sports car on the open road. I was in wonderment of everything that was her, that incredible chestnut mane of hair blowing in the wind from her open sunroof, that amazing body that curved in all the right places. She often glanced over at me in her mirrored aviator glasses and smiled the most incredible smile meant just for me. This was easy and it felt so comfortable being with her.

"What are you staring at? Do I still have food on my face?" she asked.

"I'm staring at the most beautiful, incredible, sexy woman I think I've ever had the privilege of knowing." I placed my hand on her naked thigh. She was wearing a sexy black top that hung off one shoulder a silver tank peeked out from underneath, a pair of cut off denim shorts, some black socks or stockings or something that came up just over her knees and a pair of dark grey high heeled boots that ended just under her knee. It was casual but incredibly sexy. I readjusted myself and shifted in the seat. Dammit how would I sit in this car for the next five hours with a hard-on. Calm down Cullen!

I watched her fingers as they held on to the gear stick. She innocently caressed it in her hand, gently stroking the globular head and it left me wistfully thinking of her stroking me. I watched her shapely legs as she changed gears and noticed she hadn't pushed the clutch but had shifted the stick.

"How did you just do that?"

"Do what?"

"Change the gear?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I just know my car. When she's ready you can feel it and change without the clutch."

Wow, a woman who knew her car. Most women I knew had a hard time figuring out where the gas was supposed to go, never mind how to change a gear without the clutch. Hell, I didn't even know you could do that! Was there no end to the many facets of Bella Swan? I hoped that I would have all the time in the world to discover them. This woman that I had known as a clumsy little girl with Band-Aids on her knees; a woman I would normally have written off as too young for me had me completely and utterly captivated.

"My iPod's in the glove box. Would you mind taking it out? I really need some music." She snapped my attention back from my thoughts.

"Sure. Anything in particular you'd like to listen to?"

"OK so you're going to think this is crazy but Alice made me create a playlist and I promised her I would leave it on shuffle. Do you mind?"

I had to laugh. A full out, throw your head back belly laugh. That freaky little pixie! Bella glanced over at me obviously wondering if I had put some alcohol in the coffee I'd had at breakfast or if I'd just lost my marbles all together.

"She did the same thing to me!" I explained as I scrolled to the appropriate playlist and hit play. "She loaded a bunch of songs on my iPod when we were in Seattle and asked me to do the same thing, leave it on shuffle."

Bella looked at me for as long as her gaze could safely be kept from the road, incredulous. Then we were both full out laughing until we really heard what we were now listening to.

Madonna's Forbidden Love was now pounding through Bella's speakers.

Once upon a time
There was a boy
There was a girl
Hearts that intertwine
They lived in a different kind of world

Forbidden love
Are we supposed to be together
Forbidden love

Our full laughs started to fade to nervous ones. It was like being caught with your hand in the proverbial cookie jar as they say.

"Take the next exit up here, then your second right." I instructed folding the map back up.

"Where are we going?"

"I've taken the liberty of booking a room for us. I hope you'll like it."


~ Bella POV ~

The valet eyed my little red car and seemed to look down his nose at me as I handed him my keys. Edward handed him some cash and that seemed to have changed the disdainful look on his face.

As we walked in to the hotel I was so busy taking in the spectacular lobby that I nearly tripped over the porter who was taking our bags. Of course Edward caught me by the arm before I crashed to the floor.

"Edward, this is stunning but you know it isn't necessary." I told him.

"Of course it's necessary. I mean to spoil you now that I have you within reach." He snaked his arm around my waist and drew me in for a kiss. My head started to spin. This man was like a drug for me. All reasonable thought processes fell by the wayside while I was in his arms. All caution thrown to the wind.

A pretty petite red haired woman in a very conservative uniform behind the counter cleared her throat to get our attention. I had to laugh…I wondered if this would be the norm for us now; people trying to draw our attention back to reality while we were lost in our own little world. Edward raked his fingers through that amazing head of hair seemingly trying to get his composure back.

"Good evening and my apologies. I have reservations for Edward and Isabella Smith." He winked at me.

"Yes, Mr. Smith. I have you booked for an Ocean Front Room, Sir."

"And the items I requested?"

"Already in your room Mr. Smith and your bags are on their way up. Will you be dining in the restaurant this evening sir?"

"Yes. Would you please arrange a private table for us for about an hour from now? We've been travelling for quite some time and we would like to freshen up first."

"Yes, Sir. I'll take care of it." She said as she handed Edward the room card and gave us directions to where our room was.


I stood out on the patio and closed my eyes as I breathed in the warm sea air. It blew my hair around my face and Edward,who had slipped in behind me, moved my mussed up hair from my shoulder. He kissed me in that spot that he now knew drove me over the edge.

"Mmmm, Mr. Smith. You don't want to start something that you can't finish. We do need to go and eat."

"Is that a challenge, Mrs. Smith? Please don't underestimate me." He spun me around to face him hands fisted in my hair and pulled me into the most delicious kiss, slowly pulling my tongue into his mouth.

"Well… now that I think about it, I'm sure you'll taste much better than dinner will." I told him as I pulled his shirt over his head, enjoying the feel of his naked skin. I fought with his jeans and he helped me pull them down and off. Then I backed him up onto the small glass table set out on the patio for some meal. He was going to be mine. In the back of my mind I thought that if one of our neighbours were to come out on their patio Edward was totally exposed for the entire world to see. He was spread out on the table just for me. The thought of possibly being caught was all the more an aphrodisiac for me and I was getting off on how powerful I felt. I knelt on the floor in front of him running my hands down his stomach over his remarkable abs. Down his muscular thighs I moved, slowly licking his inner thigh, and trailing my tongue across his manhood. I licked the length of him before teasing the tip, then engulfing all of him in my mouth. He moaned the most pure sound of desire. The taste of him was heavenly and I loved the way he felt sliding in and out of my mouth, so big, so strong. I was lost in it when he started to tense up and I knew he was close.

"Mmmm Bella!" He groaned through gritted teeth obviously not wanting to call the attention of our neighbours.

I swallowed every last drop of his juices. "Nice appetizer." I said, cocking one eyebrow up as I licked my lips seductively.

"Really now? Is it my turn then?"

I looked down at him and he was ready again! This man was made for sex!

"Edward, as much as I would love to indulge you right now I do need real food. We've been on the road for so many hours and that horrid burger we ate at lunch is really not cutting it."

"Alright then, Sweetness. I have plans for you later anyway."
