A/N Thank you for the great feedback for those of you who have reviewed. I know some of you are probably mad at me for leaving the last chapter off where I did. Mostly, it was unintentional (evil grin). I wanted everyone to get the full effects, so my descriptions were quite detailed, and I thought the chapter was getting too long. I promised I would update again soon, so here is the next chapter. Shall we enjoy the rest of the evening?
Please review!
Chapter 14 – Declarations
Bella was a little surprised when Edward lifted her up around his waist and began walking to the bed. It was the most incredible feeling she's ever had, her core pressed right up against his hardened member. Feeling it jerk in anticipation was almost enough to send her over the edge for the second time today. God he was incredible.
Before today, she never would have believed that such a connection was possible; at least not for her. She didn't think her prince existed beyond her dreams, but here he was, catering to her every need, fulfilling her every fantasy. It was incredible.
When he sat her down on the bed, she could see the hunger, the desire, and the need burning in those emerald eyes and it took her breath away. She didn't even have a chance to catch it when he kneeled down in front of her and found purchase on her panties, pulling them down and discarding them with the rest of their wet clothes.
She groaned in anticipation and the same time he did. He started trailing his fingers slowly up her legs, which were hanging off the side of the bed, starting with her ankles. His touch made her lose all coherent thoughts as he inched his way closer to her thighs.
He looked up at her before standing and gently pushing her back onto her elbows. He then proceeded to take her legs and lift them so her knees here in the air. She allowed him to guide her where he wanted her without question, all the while looking at him with so much love in her eyes. She trusted him so completely that in that moment, she would have done anything he asked of her without a second thought.
Leaning on her elbows, her feet on the edge of the bed with her knees in the air, she felt a smile creep into her face. He was back on his knees again, his fingers resuming their earlier task of tracing soft lines up the inside of her legs. She felt her eyes roll back into her head as an electric buzz radiated throughout her body. She let her head roll back, following her eyes as she felt his fingertips tentatively brush against her core. Feeling him pause, she lifted her head and looked at him. He was watching her but he looked unsure if she wanted him to continue.
"Please don't stop Edward. I want to feel you touching me. I need to feel you touching me." She realized that her voice took on that same husky sound that his had earlier and she knew he could hear her desire in it. As soon as she said the words, he fingers found her core again, and started tracing her slit, each move spreading her lips further apart. She felt herself buck closer to his hands, expressing her body's need to feel his touch.
…..
The sight of her lying back on her elbows with her knees in the air was enough to drive a man insane. His painful erection was letting him know that it couldn't stand much more of this. He ignored the feeling and continued tracing up Bella's legs lightly with his fingertips. He saw her eyes roll back into her head a second before her head lolled backward, so he knew she was feeling nothing but pleasure at his touch. He lightly brushed against her core, not wanting to go farther without her permission.
He was rendered speechless by her response. She pulled her head back up and looked into his eyes, telling him she wanted to feel him touch her; that she needed to feel him touch her. He felt his chest rumble as he stroked her opening in anticipation. He could already feel the moisture building there. With a bit more pressure, he could feel her lips spreading under his touch. He was immediately greeted by her juices and knew she was enjoying his touch as much as he enjoyed touching her. As if to second that thought, she bucked into his hand, her body telling him it wanted more.
His index finger found her opening and slid its way inside her, engulfed in her warmth immediately. She bucked again as he started pumping in and out, adding his middle finger into the mix. He turned his fingers, searching for the spot he had heard of; the one that would bring her to climax. He knew he was close when she started bucking into him uncontrollably.
He felt his mouth twist up into the lopsided smile he knew she couldn't resist and his thumb went searching for her clit. He wanted to make this perfect for her. He felt the swelling and started to gently rub circles around it while pumping his fingers into her faster and faster. She was bucking wildly, pushing them in deeper while panting for breath. He knew she was climaxing again, so he continued to pump into her, kneading and massaging, and flicking her clit. She moaned his name as her twitching slowed, but he wasn't finished. As soon as she caught her breath, he moved in on her again.
,,,,,
Bella had never felt so incredible in her life. She thought the orgasm she had at the lighthouse earlier was mind blowing, but it turned out to be weak in comparison to the one Edward just gave her. She felt herself twitching non-stop as he pumped his fingers in and out of her. Just as she caught her breath, he surprised her but placing his face between her legs. She could feel the breath move out of his lungs as it tickled her thighs.
When she felt his tongue snake out and touch her opening lightly, it was enough to drive her insane. She thrust her hips upward, pushing into his face and gasped her he met her open mouthed. His tongue quickly found her clit and took up where his thumb so recently left off. He sucked her clit into his mouth and gently squeezed it with her teeth, driving her wild. His tongue snaked out again and found her opening, slipping inside. He slipped it in and out a few times before searching again for her clit, letting his fingers take over the pumping again.
She heard him mumble something that sounded like 'God Bella you taste so sweet' but she wasn't sure if her ears were playing tricks on her or not. Her heart was beating so hard she could hear it in her ears, making it sound like she was underwater. She had never climaxed more than once in a day before today. Now it felt as if she was drawing near for a third time. Her nerves were like live wires, pumping electricity throughout her entire body. Every touch amplified by the current.
She heard herself cry out for more as her high drew near its peak. Edward obliged by flicking his tongue against her clit harder and faster, all the while maintaining a strong steady rhythm with his fingers. She clenched around him causing him to cry out with her. Her hands found their way down to his head and grabbed fistfuls of hair as she arched her back, bringing her hips off the bed and pushing closer into his face.
Edward seemed like he was enjoying getting her off, but she quickly realized she hadn't returned the favor. Once her body stopped twitching and her heartbeat slowed a bit, she practically growled for him to join her on the bed. He stood up with that sexy smirk and climbed up over her, bringing his lips to meet hers. There was so much heat between them it felt like they would spontaneously combust.
…..
When she growled at him to get his ass on the bed, he jumped right up. If his count was right, she had been able to climax three times already that day; once at Point Wilson twice right here. The smile on his face was smug, but he couldn't help it. He was so happy that he could bring her so much pleasure.
He hovered over her using his elbows to prop himself up while he leaned in and brought his lips to hers. She opened her mouth to him and traced his lower lip with her tongue, inviting his to join the party. When their tongues met and she tasted herself on his tongue, she moaned and jerked her hips up into him.
His member was so painfully erect by this point it needed a release. As if she could sense his need, she reached down and grabbed his shaft… hard. She started working her hand up and down his length, squeezing him tighter and tighter and she continued to kiss him with a fierce passion.
He felt her shift underneath him and looked at her questioningly. "Roll over!" she growled at him. As if on autopilot, he did as she demanded, enjoying the way she was taking charge. He had never been so turned on by a woman in his life.
Once he was lying on his back beside her, she threw her left leg over him, followed by her body so she was straddling him. She lowered down so the heat of her center rested on top of his length. She was a goddess, sitting there topless, smiling at him; so beautiful. He may have said it out loud – he wasn't sure – when he reached up with both hands and rolled her nipples between thumb and index finger.
This got her going again. She arched her back giving him better access to her perfect tits as she ground herself into his member who jerked with both surprise and pleasure. He pulled her down toward him and drew her right breast into his mouth sucking with everything he had in him. Bella started rocking harder and faster again and he could feel moisture dripping from her down his shaft.
"Baby, I don't know how much more suspense I can take." He was breathing heavily and his member was demanding for more attention from her. Before he could say anything else, she spoke.
"God Edward. I want you so bad. I want all of you, but I'm scared. This is all so new to me. I've never felt like this before but I just can't get close enough to you fast enough. I need to feel you inside me." Her voice was rough, her breath heavy, as she continued grinding into him. "I want to feel you inside me now. Will you be gentle with me?"
"Always," he said as he rolled them both over. "Are you sure you want this though? This is a huge step to take and it should be something special with someone special." He hated saying the words for fear she would change her mind, but everything in his world now was about Bella. He wanted to make sure she got what she wanted but wouldn't regret it in the morning. He couldn't take advantage of her like that.
…..
He was the sweetest man in the universe, checking with her every step of the way to make sure she was comfortable. It endeared her to him completely. She knew what she wanted, and she wanted him. "Edward, this is special. You are special. From the moment I saw you I knew there was a connection between us that couldn't be ignored. I have never felt so much kindness, so much compassion from another person; not even my mother. I can tell you care about me Edward. I know that you're not going to let this be a one-night stand because it would hurt you as much as it would hurt me. You mean so much to me it scares me. I didn't know a person could fall in love so completely this fast, but I love you Edward, with all my heart, mind, and soul."
She couldn't believe what she was telling him, but she knew it was the truth. Yes, she had only known him for two months and only actually spoken to him for the first time today, but she was head over heels in love with this man lying on top of her. She smiled when she was done telling him that, pleased to find that she could have these feelings after everything that happened. For the longest time, she felt so completely empty inside; devoid of love and the ability to love. She looked up at him with wonder and saw an identical look on his face as he returned her gaze.
"Bella, thank you so much. Thank you for telling me how you really feel because I've been dying inside to tell you the same thing, I just didn't want to scare you away. Bella Swan, you are my life and you hold my whole heart in your hands. I love you more than any person on this earth has ever loved another person and I too knew it from the first time I saw you.
"That day at the barbeque when I left so quickly, I came here to Port Townsend. I sat up in the overlook of Point Wilson for hours just thinking about you, wishing I were good enough for you. I didn't know your story and didn't think I ever would but I knew I loved you. I couldn't admit it to myself because I never thought I'd be capable of love knowing what I did to Jessica and my parents, but then I found you. Bella, the lighthouse was my beacon for two years. After I tried to kill myself, Carlisle told me I needed to find a center – a light so to speak – that could help guide me. The lighthouse was that center for me, at least until today. I was lost but you've shown me that there is still hope, there's still love. I promise you Bella; I will never take you for granted. You are my life, my light, and my love."
With that said, he bent down to kiss her with the most gentle kiss possible as he positioned himself at her entrance. He looked up at her one more time and all she could say was "yes." She knew he wanted reaffirmation that she wanted this.
Once the word left her mouth, she felt his tip enter for folds and slide inside her just a bit. Watching her the entire time to make sure he wasn't hurting her, he pulled back and then slid him self in further. He kept up his slow thrusting until he was entirely inside her and then he started to pick up the pace just a bit. He reached back and grabbed her ankles, placing her feet on his shoulders and holding her right about her knees. He was thrusting in so deep she could feel him in her stomach.
She slipped her legs up around his neck and pulled him down to her as he continued thrusting into her so gently. She lifted herself up onto her elbows and kissed him. It was a reverent kiss at first but the longer they held, the more need they both felt. She opened her mouth to him and when their tongues met, the around them exploded. He no longer seemed concerned that he would hurt her. He was sliding in and out with ease so he picked up his momentum, never once breaking the kiss.
….
Feeling the wetness of her center against his shaft felt better than he ever would have expected. Like Bella, this was new to him too. Jessica had been his first girl friend and what happened the day of the accident was the farthest he had ever gone. After that, he never allowed himself to feel pleasure in that way. He didn't think he deserved it. Bella changed all that for him. He wanted to feel her walls around him, squeezing him as he pleasured her.
After they shared their feelings, he looked to her again for confirmation. She managed to whisper a "yes," so, already positioned at her entrance, he slid inside slightly. He watched her face for any sign of discomfort but there didn't appear to be any so he pulled out and reentered her a little farther. Still she seemed to want him in deeper, so he kept thrusting, moving into her more and more each time. Finally he reached back and grabbed her ankles, bringing her legs forward and placing her feet against his chest. He was able to thrust deeper now and started moving slightly faster. He knew she was telling him the truth about being new to this because her walls were so tight around him.
When he felt her legs go up around his neck and pull him forward, he almost paused mid-stroke in awe of her ability. She placed a gentle kiss on his mouth as he continued working her and held there. After a few minutes the need for both of them was too great, so she opened her mouth to him, deepening the kiss. She didn't seem to be in pain, so he started thrusting harder and faster into her as their tongues danced in perfect harmony with each other.
This went on for several minutes until he felt on the brink of losing it. Wanting her to be able to share this with him, he broke the kiss, but continued kissing her body, moving down towards her breasts. When he was there, he pulled one into his mouth, biting at her nipple, flicking it with his tongue and then sucking it, never breaking his stride. He reached up to tweak her other nipple with his hand before sucking that one into his mouth.
He slid his hands down her body and grabbed her hips, which were thrusting in time with his strokes. He was so close that he knew it was time to bring here there with him. He moved his left hand from her hip and found her clit with his thumb. It seemed twice the size it was just minutes ago and he took that as a good sign. He started rubbing circles around it and felt Bella start to shudder underneath him. He was slamming into her now, over and over, as his thumb circled faster and faster.
"Oh My God!" Bella screamed. "I am so… close… yes… right… there…yes… yes…"
She continued her litany of moans and Edward knew he was seconds away from blowing his load, so he too let go and began moaning in time with her. "Yes Baby. Come for me again. Come… with… me… now!" He slammed into to her once, twice, three more times as he released into her the same time she clenched around him. When the tremors from their orgasms slowed, he collapsed on top of her, breathing heavily but never more content.
Feeling the need to punctuate the moment, he brought his lips to hers and smiled. "I love you Bella." He felt her return his smile as he whispered back to him that she loved him too. They fell asleep like that, holding each other tightly, neither ever being happier than that exact moment.
