Chapter 55 – Bed and Blushes

Edward woke up in his bed naked and completely spent from making love to his beautiful fiancé for hours the night before. Once Charlie had left, there were no distractions to keep them apart and Edward had taken full advantage of that.

Bella was an incredible lover because she matched him perfectly. She put just as much of herself into their lovemaking as he did; passion, desire, need and all consuming love. He didn't really understand how he had won her heart because he still didn't feel completely worthy of it, but he was grateful anyway.

Bella was exquisite in every way. As he lay beside her in his bed, his eyes roamed over every inch of her naked body. She was flawless in his eyes; every body part perfectly sized, every curve perfectly sculpted. She was curled up on her left side sleeping soundly with a small grin playing at her lips. Seeing her so content in his bed, in his arms, made his heart swell with love and pride.

As his eyes traveled over every inch of her incredible form he realized there was a slight ache in his fingertips; not only did he need to see her, he needed to touch her – every inch of her – to remind himself that she was real. Without a second thought, he allowed the fingertips of his right hand to lightly brush against her beautiful soft skin. As they ran from her shoulder to her fingertips and back, he was amazed to witness the reaction she had to his touch. Everywhere his fingers caressed, the hair on the skin underneath would rise and goose bumps would slowly appear. It was almost as if her skin craved his though as much as he craved to touch it.

Marveling in his incredible observation, he began to run his fingertips over other parts of her to see if his theory held true. Slowly and with a feather lite touch, he ran his fingers over her shoulder and down her exposed back. He stopped just before he reached the line of her perfectly molded ass. Sure enough, along the path he had made, the tiny hair rose and the flesh pimpled.

Rising off the bed a little so he could reach more of her, he started at her hip and worked his way down her smooth leg. When he reached her knee, his fingers dipped into the curve on the underside and he brought them back up the back of her thigh and over her ass. As her skin prickled from his touch, she started to stir in her sleep, moving herself closer to his touch.

He was mesmerized by her and continued to touch her softly, this time running his fingers gently over her stomach, circling her navel moving up to her beautiful breasts. When he reached the right mound, his fingers brushed against the underside, slowly drawing a line up between, around the top and back down the side. He repeated the motion as me moved in closer to her beautiful pink nipple. By the third circle, he had tightened in enough that he was now encircling that very sensitive skin.

The instant he made contact, Bella, who had been moving and groaning at his touch, arched her back and pushed herself into his hand. It seemed she was done with his feathered caresses; she wanted his full touch, which he was happy to give her. He quickly palmed her breast while squeezing her now hard nipple between his thumb and forefinger.

"Mmmm. Baby that feels absolutely amazing," Bella mumbled groggily. Her voice was always a little rough when she first woke up but today he would hear how content she was right then.

Chuckling to himself, Edward said, "Well good morning, Gorgeous! I'm glad you like it." He leaned in he kiss her neck before sucking her earlobe into his mouth and nibbling in it gently.

Her reaction was immediate. She quickly wiggled backward until her entire backside was pressed firmly against him as she arched her neck to give him easier access to it. The site and feel of her was enough to make his cock spring to immediate attention.

Bella moaned in response to his hard cock pressing up against her ass and the sound shot straight through to his dick making him impossibly harder. He glanced at the alarm clock on his nightstand. It was only 8 am; he realized there was still plenty of time to do what he wanted to do. After all, they didn't have to meet with Pastor Weber until ten.

Still leaning over her, he ran his tongue up the length of her neck tasting her soft salty skin, eliciting the sexiest noises ever from her. He let his right hand trail softly along her bare stomach as he made his way back up to her perky breasts. Once there, he cupped her mound in his hand and tweaked her erect nipple.

He continued to kiss and lick every inch of her neck and hear as he fondled her breast, moving from the right to the left. She was laying on her left side, so it was harder to reach, but he really couldn't just leave it out so he did what he was able to based on the circumstances.

Bringing his lips right up next to her ear, his voice husky and filled with both love and lust, he whispered to her. "Bella, your skin tastes so fucking amazing but I need more, Love. I need to taste your essence." To punctuate his point, he released her breast and moved his fingers gingerly down to her very hot core. The second his fingers slipped into her sweet folds he sucked air between his teeth.

"Oh god beautiful, you are dripping wet!" he exclaimed. He smiled widely knowing that he was the only one to ever affect Bella this way. He slid his body away from her slightly so she had enough room to roll to her back. The look on her face as his index finger circled her clit was one of pure ecstasy.

The moment their eyes met and he saw the pure desire burning from within her milk chocolate orbs, he brought his mouth to hers and kissed her feverishly. His yearning for Bella physically – sexually – went beyond love or lust. It was pure need. When they were apart from each other, he had a physical ache in his chest where his heart was supposed to be. Without touching her in some way, he felt like he wasn't a whole person. He needed her more than he needed air to fill his lungs because without her, there would be no reason left to breathe.

He broke the kiss but didn't remove his lips from her body. Slowly, he kissed her jaw before trailing his tongue back down her neck and tracing her collarbone. He felt her hand on his head as her fingers twisted into his hair, gripping tightly. Trailing open-mouthed kisses down from her collarbone, he finally reached her beautiful breasts. He took the left one into his mouth first as his hand came up to cup her right breast. Sucking and licking and nibbling her pebbled peaks, he felt Bella rub her thighs together trying to gain some sort of friction.

Figuring he should relieve some of her tension, he moved down the length of her torso until his face was between her legs. As soon as he was close to her center, he took a deep breath in through his nose. The smell of her arousal was heavenly – almost intoxicating.

Not able to resist her any longer, his tongue slipped between her folds and ran the length of her before finding her clit. Her hips came off the bed as she pushed herself closer in to his face. He flicked her sensitive nub a few times with his tongue before sucking it into his mouth, making her thrust into him again. Her hands twisted firmly into his hair and she held his face between her legs.

"Oh my… oh Edward… that feels… amazing! Don't stop baby. Ugh, please don't stop!" He loved listening to Bella as he was pleasuring her; it was incredibly sexy and turned him on even more. As a result, he slipped his tongue as far into her tight entrance as it would go and moved it around before withdrawing it and repeating the actions. "Holymotherof…ugh…baby that's…perfect… oh fuck!"

He knew she was getting close to her release; he could feel her already tight walls get a little tighter around his tongue. Quickly withdrawing again, he replaced his tongue with two fingers, easily pumping in and out of her. His mouth moved back to her very swollen clit and he sucked it into his mouth while looking up into Bella's beautiful eyes.

Bella started thrusting her hips in time with his fingers, swallowing as much of them as she could. He watched as her stomach muscles tightened at the same time she clenched around his fingers. She was right on the edge and he knew just what to do to send her spiraling over it. With one last hard thrust into her center, he bit down on her clit while sucking with everything in him.

Bella screamed so loud that he worried someone would come interrupt them again, but the clock told him that everyone would have left for work and school by now. Removing his fingers, he saw Bella staring at her juices that were dripping from them. Before he even know what was happening, she had his wrist in her hand and was bringing his fingers up to her mouth.

He had kissed her after going down on her before, but this was something else. The look in her eyes was almost feral and her tongue slid out from between her parted lips, wetting the surface before sucking his fingers into her mouth and then licking them clean. She moaned and her eyes rolled back in her head before speaking. "Mmm baby, you were right. So sweet."

He nearly came undone right then from her words alone. He never thought she could get any sexier than she already was, but she was constantly surprising him.

…..

When Bella saw Edward's fingers as he pulled them out of her hot, wet core, she was mesmerized. They were covered in her juices, glistening in her fluids. She didn't know she had grabbed his wrist until his hand was directly in her face. Seeing her arousal drip down the length of his fingers solidified her resolve.

Sure, she had tasted herself before, but it was always from Edward's tongue, diluted by his own saliva. This was raw, it was one hundred percent her on his fingers and she couldn't help but lick her lips in anticipation as she watched. Then without another conscious though, she pulled his two fingers into her mouth and closed her lips around them.

When her taste hit her tongue, there was an explosion in her mouth and she felt herself tighten again in an instant. She never thought a taste could bring her to orgasm, but she was clearly wrong. Something about sucking her own juices off of her fiancé's fingers was just so erotic to her.

When she was sure to have cleaned every last drop of herself from him, she looked up and into his eyes. The love he had for her was clear in his eyes, but she also saw a look of pure lust. His eyes were a shade darker and hooded; she knew it was only a matter of time before he snapped out of his haze and fucked her senseless.

Almost as if he could read her mind, he slowly rose off the bed and started crawling up her body very slowly. He paused at her bellybutton and traced it with his tongue. Holy hell that feels good! she thought to herself.

After spending a few seconds licking and nipping at her navel, he kissed his way up her stomach to her breasts. He sucked her left nipple into his mouth and rolled his tongue over it before moving to the right one to pay it the same attention.

Finally, he made his way up to her lips and kissed her with a passion that made her feel like she was going to explode. She could feel his rock hard cock pressing against her sex while they kissed. She needed to feel him inside her but she didn't want to break away from his mouth for any reason; even if that reason was to beg for him to enter her.

Again, he seemed to read her mind because, never breaking the kiss, Edward pulled his hips back slightly, lined up with her opening and then thrust into her hard and fast.

"Oh fuck!" she shouted as he pushed into her clear to the hilt. She usually wasn't prone to swearing, but things were always different when Edward was involved; she didn't feel self-conscious or like she had to hide anything from his because she knew he would never be offended.

With hard, rhythmic motions, Edward continued thrusting into her. She could feel the tightening deep within her stomach and she knew she was almost ready to come again.

"Angel, I love watching your face when I'm inside you," he said through ragged breaths. "You look so…" he paused as if trying to find the right word, "blissful."

Bella couldn't help but smile at his astute observation. She knew exactly what he was talking about because she was truthfully never happier than when they were connected in such an intimate manner.

As the coil in her belly tightened, she spoke, "That's because you know how to make me feel so damn fantastic." She managed to get the entire sentence out before biting her lip to keep from screaming. Edward's thrusts had become more needy; faster, harder, deeper if at all possible.

Just when she was on the brink of release, Edward reached his hand between them and forcefully rubbed her throbbing clit, causing her to go spiraling over the edge. Her body jerked and twitched involuntarily as her she tightened around his rock solid cock. Watching her as she rode out her orgasm and feeling her squeeze around him was enough to send him spiraling after her, because with a few more quick thrusting motions, she felt him shoot his hot load deep within her before he collapsed on top of her.

"Baby, that was fucking amazing!" he managed to get out in between his ragged breaths.

She couldn't help the smile that took over her face, as she looked deep into his glowing emerald orbs. "Babe, it was more than amazing; it was absolutely perfect in every possible way."

Edward kissed her sweetly on the lips before lifting his head to look at the alarm clock on his nightstand. He signed deeply and then rolled off of her. "Beautiful, as much as I'd love to stay in bed and have my wicked way with you all day long, we have to meet Angela's dad in forty-five minutes. We should probably have a quick shower and grab some breakfast before we head out."

She loved how he suggested they get up but then didn't make a move. She could tell he was struggling with doing what he knew they needed to do versus what he wanted to do again.

Smiling widely at him, she rolled on top of him and kissed him deeply. "Why, Mr. Cullen, I will officially be your wife tomorrow night and you can have your wicked way with me whenever you want after that, but unless we get going now to meet Angela's dad, there won't be a wedding." She knew she wasn't playing fair, but if she were being honest with herself, marrying Edward was the thing she wanted in this world more than any other.

"Join me in the shower?" she asked him seductively as she stood and started walking toward his bedroom door. She added a little sway to her hips and wiggled her naked backside with each step. She knew they wouldn't have time to get hot and heavy again, but that wouldn't stop them from letting their hands wander over each other.

Grinning like a kid in a candy store, a deep growl erupted from Edward's chest before he answered her. "You bet your sexy ass!" he said and he practically flew off the bed to join her.

The restroom was only two doors down, so neither of them bothered with clothes as Edward opened his bedroom door and led Bella out into the hall. They were just about to head in when a deep voice boomed out from behind them. "Dude, what the fuck?"

Bella spun around, completely mortified. Emmett was standing there slack-jawed, staring at the two of them naked and frozen. She could feel herself blush from her toes to her hairline as Edward quickly stepped in front of her to shield her body.

Taking a few steps backward and guiding her to do the same, she soon found herself beside the bathroom door, which she ducked into quickly. She wrapped a towel around her body and grabbed another one for Edward, handing it to him. Once he wrapped it around himself, he looked at his oaf of a brother a little sheepishly.

"Um, sorry Em. I sort of forgot you guys came in last night and that you'd be here this morning. I assumed everyone was gone."

Emmett smiled widely. "Well Bro, I came up about thirty minutes ago to see if you guys wanted to come down for breakfast, but you seemed to be a little… um… busy." Emmett glanced over Edward's shoulder at Bella and winked before looking back at Edward.

"Oh," was all Edward said as both brothers stared at each other. Bella wanted to pull Edward into the bathroom and close the door so badly. She was so embarrassed over what had happened that she wanted to disappear completely.

Just when she was about to reach for his hand, both Edward and Emmett broke into hysterical laughter. Bella was absolutely dumbfounded so she gave up and walked back into the bathroom. She sat down on the side of the bathtub and lowered her head so it was between her knees, making it easier to breathe. Edward must have realized she wasn't beside him anymore, because a second later she heard the bathroom door close. When she looked at him, he looked so apologetic.

He was quick to hold his hands out to her, silently inviting her to stand. Without even a second of hesitation, she took his hands and stood only to be engulfed in his arms.

Holding her tightly, he whispered into her hair, "I am so extremely sorry, my love. Please forgive me?"

His apology was so heartfelt and sincere that there was no way for her to say no, Yes, she was still completely embarrassed by the situation, but she also knew that Edward hadn't meant for it to happen and it wasn't his fault.

"Of course I forgive you, Edward. I love you more than anything in this world," she told him before kissing his lips. "Nothing you could ever do will change that, okay?"

She brought her hands up and cupped his face, looking directly into his eyes. "Nothing," she said one more time for emphasis and she freed her towel and allowed it to fall around her ankles.

His eyes dropped from hers to take in her naked form as a growl bubbled up from deep in his chest. Dropping his own towel, he brought his lips to hers and kissed her as he fumbled to start the water. It looked as if they were going to be late for their meeting with the pastor. Damn!
