Previously…
"Goodnight Beautiful. I love you, sweet dreams," Edward whispered against her ear.
"Every dream is sweet when I'm wrapped in you strong arms. You're my protector, Cowboy. I think I'm going to love falling asleep like this every night for the rest of forever." She stroked the hairs along the back of his neck as Edward's palm cupped her ass. They both drifted off to sleep.
Second Chances Never Looked So Good ~ Chapter Ten
Bella drove into the city limits of Forks and headed straight to her mom's house. It was time to tell her about her plans to move to Portland. She was giddy with anticipation and was hoping her mom would support her and Edward's life-altering decision.
She took a deep, cleansing breath as she parked and headed towards the front door.
"Bella, sweetheart," Renee chimed after she opened the door.
Bella grinned when she saw Renee was covered in flour. "What are you doing, Mom? It looks like you and a bag of flour got into a fight and it won."
"You are such a smart ass, young lady. I was trying to bake cookies, not all of us can be as talented at baking as you are."
"Could you use some help?" Bella offered as she closed the front door and followed her mom into the kitchen.
"Nope, the cookies are in the oven. So, what do I owe this pleasure? You were with Edward this weekend, weren't you?"
Bella sagged onto one of the kitchen stools and grinned. "Yeah, Mom, I was with Edward and Lizzy too."
"Are things getting more serious with you two? Have you two had sex yet?"
Bella about choked on her tongue. "Excuse me?"
Renee snapped Bella with the hand towel she was holding. "Don't be such a prude, Bella. I can talk about sex if I want to. I have had it before; I didn't bear you and Em through virgin birth."
Bella shuddered at the image. "Please don't talk to me about your sex life. There are certain topics I don't wish to discuss with you."
"Whatever, it's okay if you and Edward are sleeping together; it's nothing to be ashamed of."
"I'm not ashamed of it, Mom. I just don't feel comfortable talking about my sex life with you."
Renee's eyebrows shot up. "So you're admitting you two have a sex life?"
"Oh my God," Bella groaned into her hands, her cheeks flushed.
"You are so much fun to embarrass." Renee chuckled. "Okay, so if you aren't here to talk about your sex life, what did you want to talk about?"
Bella was amazed that her mom was always able to read her and know when she needed to talk. She bit her lower lip. "Hmm… I made a decision this weekend, well Edward and I made a decision."
"You're getting married!" Renee yelled as she jumped up and down.
Jesus H Christ! What the fuck? "Mom," Bella yelled. "Edward and I are not getting married." Yet.
Renee's face sank. "You're not?"
"No, but if you let me actually tell you my news, you might be excited about it."
Renee pretended to zip her lip and stared expectantly at Bella.
"I'm giving my two-week notice tomorrow, selling the townhouse and moving in with Edward."
Renee looked like she was going to burst with excitement. Her lips were pressed tightly together as she silently jumped up and down, her arms flying every which direction.
Bella laughed. "You can speak now."
"Oh my God! I'm so excited for you, Bella," Renee yelled as she crushed her into a tight hug. "You deserve this. You deserve to be happy and Edward makes you happy, right?"
Bella nodded as she pulled back slightly to see her mom's face. "He makes me so happy and Lizzy does too, but..."
"But what?"
Bella sighed. "I'm scared, Mom. What if I'm not good enough? What if Edward gets tired of me, where would I go? How would I survive that?"
"Don't be silly. Edward loves you! I could see that at Thanksgiving. Esme and I believe that you two are soul mates. You've always been destined to be together. Bella, do you remember the movie The Holiday?" Renee asked.
"Yeah, of course, I love that movie."
"Maybe you need to watch it again and listen to Arthur's advice."
Bella sat back, she was completely confused. "What's your point, Mom?"
"My point is that you're the leading lady of your own life. You can't always be concerned about what everyone else thinks. You only need to focus on what you want, and if a life with Edward and Lizzy is what you want, then go for it. Go spread your wings and fly, baby."
Bella pulled her mom into another hug. "Thanks, M, I love you and I'm going to miss you and Grams so much," Bella said through tears.
"We'll miss you too. Remember that you can always come up or we can come down, it's really not that far away. And just think you're four hours closer to Em. Oh God, he's going to flip when he hears you're moving in with a man. I swear he still thinks you're his ten-year-old baby sister."
As Bella watched her mom fuss with the chocolate chip cookies, she mused over what her mom had said about being the leading lady of her own life. She realized that she needed to continue to listen to what her heart wanted, not the ranting and ravings of her mind - which were the result of her horrid entanglement with Jacob and his soul-crushing behavior. Bella's body and mind felt lighter at the thought. She was going to do this for herself. It was time she lived they way she wanted and not be ruled by anyone else. And she knew she wanted nothing more than to be with Edward everyday for the rest of her life.
After Renee's cookies were baked, she and Bella relaxed in the living room on the couch, the smooth crooning of Josh Groban softly floating through the air. "So, Bella, what are you going to do for a job?"
Bella sat up straight, she hadn't thought about finding a job. "Umm, I'm not sure. Edward and I have talked about me starting culinary school soon, but I honestly haven't even thought about a job. I guess I should start looking, huh? Maybe something part-time, since once I start school it'll take up about six hours a day?"
Renee laughed. "Probably a good idea and while you're at it, I'd like some grandchildren, too."
Bella's eyes bugged. "Geez, Mom, I haven't even moved in with the guy yet and you're already angling for grand kids."
"Yes, I am."
"Well, how about you get to know Lizzy, for now? I think you're going to love her, she's so adorable and she loves helping me in the kitchen and reading stories."
Renee noticed Bella's face light with pleasure and love as she spoke of the little girl. "You already love her, don't you?"
Bella merely nodded.
"Okay, for now I'll spoil Lizzy, hopefully Esme won't mind."
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Later that evening Bella was packing a few boxes of books when her cell phone rang. Edward. "Hey, handsome," she purred into the phone.
Edward groaned at her sultry voice. "Hell, darlin', you've only said two words to me and I'm already hard as a rock and aching for your touch."
Bella's breathing quickened and her panties dampened. "Hmm, I think you should take care of that."
"I want you."
Bella raced up the stairs to her bedroom and pulled the phone away just long enough to whip off her shirt. "I want you too," she drawled as she unbuttoned her jeans, quickly sliding them down her legs.
"What are you doing?"
Bella flushed. "I'm getting naked, baby."
"Holy fuck," Edward growled.
"My panties were so wet, I had to take them off and get more comfortable. Are you naked, Edward?" She heard rustling of clothes.
"Yeah, I'm lying on our bed, naked, and I want you so much."
"Touch yourself for me. Pretend it's my hand wrapped around your steely, velvet cock. Pump it up and down, up and down." She heard Edward hiss at the sensation. "Keep touching yourself. I'm going to dip my fingers into my hot, wet pussy and swirl my juices around my clit." Bella purred. "Oh fuck, that feels so good. Does it feel good, Edward?"
"Fuck, baby, you feel so good… so tight around me. I need you to cum with me," Edward rasped as he twisted his fingers around his cock and over the sensitive head, spreading the pre-cum. "Shit… I'm going to cum… you?"
Bella's breathing was labored. "Edward… oh fuck! Edward," she screamed, her body overcome with orgasm, as her breathing slowed she heard Edward grunting and yelling her name.
"Baby, that was hot," he said softly.
"Yeah, it was. I miss you, Edward," she sighed
"Oh, beautiful, I miss you too."
They both laid in comfortable silence for a few minutes, both content to just hear the other breathe. "I started packing my stuff tonight," Bella said.
"You did?" Edward's elation was evident in his tone.
"Yeah, and I'm going to give my two-weeks' notice tomorrow, and when I come down on Friday I'm planning on bringing a truckload of stuff with me… is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay. I want you here with me, right now!
Bella sighed. "I know, baby, me too. I stopped at my mom's house when I got into town and told her about my big move and she brought up a good point."
"What?"
"That I'm going to need to find a job. I honestly hadn't thought about it, I was just so excited to quit this one."
Edward laughed. "Bella, you don't need to get a job. You'll be starting culinary school in a few months."
"So, what am I going to do for the next few months? Sit on my ass as it grows wider? No, Edward I need some sort of a job. Maybe I could work at a coffee house or book store until school starts. I need to find out when that is…" Bella's voice trailed off as she got lost in thought.
"Bella, baby, you can work on the ranch, if you want."
"What? No, offense Edward, but I don't want to be knee deep in horse manure all day, every day," she joked.
"Hardy, har, har… I have hands that do that sort of work. What I'm thinking is, you can help me with the books."
Bella cringed. "I suck at anything math-related. Are you sure that'd be a good place for me?"
"I didn't mean the finance portion; I have an account for that. I meant the boarding and training portion. You could talk with prospective clients, show them what we offer and give tours. You could even help me with the ordering of supplies. I usually have to do a lot of it myself and it'd be really nice to have some help from someone I trust. And, beautiful, I trust you more than anyone."
"So, I'd be like a Ranch Manager?" Bella questioned
"Exactly. Please say yes, please oh please."
She smiled. "Of course, it sounds perfect."
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Bella perched on the edge of the ugly brown leather chair positioned in front of her manager Felix's desk. She eyed him as he took a seat across from her.
"What did you need to talk about?" He asked gruffly.
"Actually, Felix, I'm giving you my two weeks' notice. My last day will be a week from Friday," Bella said firmly.
"Huh? Okay."
"That's it? You aren't going to give me shit or ask my ten thousand questions?"
Felix sat back in his chair and steepled his pointer fingers under his chin. "I had a feeling this was going to happen, it's because of that yahoo that came here to see you a couple weeks back, am I right?"
"He's not a yahoo," Bella bristled. "And yes, I've decided to move to Portland."
Felix nodded. "I fully expect you to work each day until the end, no cutting out early or coming in late because you're packing or whatnot. If you slack off in any way, I will not hesitate to terminate your position."
"Wow, Felix, could you have a worse attitude?" Bella asked as she stood and walked to the office door. "And don't worry, I'll be here working my ass off every day for the next two weeks, after that I won't hesitate to light out of here and never look back."
Bella stalked out of Felix's office and headed across the warehouse to her own. Her mind racing over what a jackass Felix had been, although he'd always been a jackass, not only to her, but everyone in the warehouse. It made her wonder how he even got a position as manager with his lack of people skills.
"What's with the long face, boss?" Mac asked as Bella strode into the shipping area.
Bella took a deep breath and looked at Mac. She was going to miss him most of all, his quick wit and humor always had her laughing. He always seemed to know when something was bothering her.
"Well, Mac, I just came from Felix's office and he pissed me off, so nothing new on that front. But, I'd like to talk to you and everyone else for a few minutes. Can you gather the others and bring them to my office in ten?"
"Sure thing, boss." Mac saluted before heading off to find everyone.
Bella was saddened when she told everyone of her decision to leave, but they all had nothing but encouraging words and well wishes for her. They even planned to have a potluck to celebrate Bella's last day.
Bella was exhausted when she got home, but was determined to continue packing. She wrapped picture frames and vases in old newspaper and gently placed them into empty totes. A little while later, when the doorbell rang she was relieve and overwhelmed to find her mom, Esme and Alice carrying two boxes of pizza, beer and packing boxes.
"We've come to help," Esme said excitedly as she strode into Bella's townhouse.
Bella quietly wiped tears from her cheeks and closed the door behind her guests. "Thanks guys," she whispered.
Alice came to her and wrapped her in a hug, soon followed by Esme and Renee.
"Why are you crying, sweetheart?" Renee asked as she stroked Bella's hair.
Bella shrugged her shoulders and sniffled. "I'm going to miss you all when I leave."
Esme chuckled. "Bella, my son is going to have you so preoccupied that you won't even think about us, for at least a week… or two or three."
Bella's cheeks flamed. "Oh my God I can't believe you just said that." She giggled.
"What?" Esme asked innocently.
"Come ladies, let's eat and get to packing," Renee quipped. The girls spent the evening laughing and reminiscing as they boxed Bella's belongings.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Every evening Edward continued to make space throughout the house for Bella's belongings. He crammed his clothes into one side of the closet and emptied out the drawers of his second dresser, and made sure there was empty space for her toiletries in the bathroom.
He headed towards the den so he could assemble the bookcase he'd bought to house Bella's vast collection of books since she'd had decided to sell her furniture to make the move easier. Edward was beyond excited that Bella would be living in his house – their house – in less than two weeks.
Sweat started beading on Edward's face and down his back as he struggled to build the bookcase. He tried following the directions but had soon discovered that it was easier to piece it together on his own, or so he thought. He growled in frustration as one side ended up being longer than the other.
Thankfully his cell phone vibrated in his pocket and the scowl instantly left his face when he noticed it was a text from Bella and not just any text, but a picture text. He gulped back a moan when he it opened and he saw Bella laying on her bed in nothing but a sheer purple, thigh length night gown, which left little to the imagination.
He quickly called her, and she answered after only one ring. "Hey, handsome."
"Fuck, beautiful, are you trying to give me a monster case of blue balls? 'Cause let me tell you… it's working."
Bella laughed. "Sorry, but I just wanted to share one of my new purchases with you."
That got Edward's attention… one of her purchases, which meant there were others. Holy hell. "One of them, huh? Are you going to share the others with me?"
"Maybe," Bella said coyly.
Edward could tell she was biting her lip and knew she was probably blushing too. Oh, how he loved this woman. "Bring them with you on Friday," he demanded as he abandoned the bookshelf and headed towards the kitchen for a beer. He adjusted himself along the way as his Wranglers had become incredibly snug.
"I'm making so much space for you, baby. Having your things here is going to make this house become a home… I miss you," Edward finished sadly as he popped the top off his beer.
"I miss you too. I'm going to be with you tomorrow. As soon as I get off work I'm going to head down, okay?"
"Okay… you're still bringing some things with you, right? Or are you waiting until next weekend?"
"Nope, the truck is packed. Our moms' and Alice came over again tonight and helped me load some totes and boxes into the truck. I'm ready to go." They wrapped up their call, reveling in the knowledge that they'd be reunited for good very soon.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
"Beautiful?" Edward asked as he helped Bella unpack some books. They'd been unpacking her books for what felt like hours and Edward's butt was getting sore from sitting on the hardwood floor in the den. She had to have at least 300 books, most of which were first editions she'd inherited from her great grandmother, some even dating back to the 1800's.
"Yeah," Bella answered as she continued to organize.
"We're going out to dinner tonight."
Bella looked over her shoulder at Edward. "Huh?"
Edward slowly crawled on his knees to his beautiful girl. "I said that we're going out to dinner tonight. We're going to get dressed up and have our first official date."
Bella laughed. "You do realize that we're going to be living together starting next week, aren't we past the first date?"
"Maybe, but we've never really been out to dinner, just you and me. I want to take you out and give the evil eye to any guy to who tries to ogle you. It's my right as a man to defend my woman."
Bella threaded her fingers through his hair and tugged slightly. "Okay, handsome, whatever you want. But just know I reserve the right to bitch slap any waitress or hostess that tries to steal my arm candy."
Edward wrapped his arms around Bella's body and dropped them to the floor. His lips attacked hers with all of the passion, love and lust he felt for her.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
"You know what I was thinking?" Bella asked as she placed her cloth napkin across her lap. They'd ended up going to a local steak house for dinner that night. Bella was dressed in a simple, yet elegantly sexy, black strapless dress, while Edward had on black dress pants, a navy blue button up shirt and black silk tie. He looked so handsome even dressed up as a city slicker.
Edward reached across the table and linked his fingers with hers. "What?"
"We should start decorating for Christmas next weekend. Lizzy will be home and it'll be my first official weekend home."
"Home," Edward mused. "Beautiful, I love that you'll be home for good next week. And I think decorating for Christmas is a great idea. We can go out and cut down a tree, Lizzy would love that. I have a few decorations, but not very many."
"Well, then we'll have to go shopping, won't we?" Bella smiled. "We can start some of our own family holiday traditions and maybe have both sets of parents down for the festivities. I could cook up a huge turkey with all the trimmings."
Edward scooted his chair closer to Bella's so he could wrap his arm around her shoulders. He leaned in to touch his forehead to hers. "Have I mentioned lately how much I love you?"
"Hmm…" Bella thought as she tapped a finger against her chin, "not in the last ten minutes. You're slacking, cowboy."
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Bella woke up early Sunday morning and frowned when she realized she was in bed alone. She glanced at the clock and saw it was just before 7am, the sun was starting to rise and streamed through the French doors.
Edward must have been out feeding the horses, as she burrowed her face his pillow and inhaled his scent. She groaned. She wanted him. Her body ached for his touch. She remembered the outfit she'd found earlier in the week and quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed her overnight bag and headed towards the bathroom. It was time to make one of Edward's fantasies come true.
After showering and shaving, she slathered her body with Edward's favorite cocoa butter lotion before donning the outfit she'd bought to drive Edward crazy with lust. Bella parted her hair into low pigtails and a wicked grin crept across her face as she imagined Edward's reaction.
She pulled on her new boots and was headed out of the bedroom, when she realized she'd freeze if she went outside in this outfit, so she quickly grabbed the thick fleece blanket off of the chair in the corner and wrapped it around her body.
When Bella stepped outside she was hit by the bitter cold, the forecast had threatened snow and she hoped it'd hold off until she was back in Forks. She made her way across the yard towards the barn and reveled in the silence of the land. This place was so peaceful and so beautiful it took her breath away. She marveled in the fact that in one week's time this would be her home. She knew she'd treasure it always.
Her heart began to race as she neared the barn. She thanked her lucky stars that Joe and the other ranch hands had the day off, so feeding of the horses was solely up to Edward. The barn door was open when she approached. She slowly peeked her head in and saw Edward, clad in worn-in Wranglers, and a deep red and white plaid shirt, with the sleeves rolled part way up his forearm. She almost drooled as she watched his muscles ripple under his shirt as he worked.
She smiled when she realized he was humming It's Your Love as he worked. Her handsome cowboy was the best thing that had happened in her life and sometimes she still couldn't believe he loved her as much as he did. She was moving to the ranch to be with him, she was going to spend every day by his side, working, laughing and playing and she couldn't wait for their life together to start.
Gathering her courage, she wrapped the blanket tighter around her and stepped into the barn. Edward instantly noticed her and a huge smile played across his beautiful face.
He set the hay bale down and strolled towards her. His eyebrow quirked up as he noticed cowgirl boots sticking out from under the blanket. He engulfed her in his arms and nuzzled his face into her neck. "Good morning, beautiful."
Bella wrapped her arms around his waist. "Howdy," she drawled.
He chuckled. "What's up with the boots?"
"Hmm… it's part of my outfit," she replied sweetly
Edward pulled back slightly. "Oh yeah, can I see?"
Bella slowly pulled the blanket open, her eyes never leaving his face, as she watched in amusement while Edward's jaw dropped open and his eyes bulged.
"Holy fuck, beautiful, you're so fucking hot! How did you know I had a cowgirl fantasy?"
"Lucky guess, cowboy," she said coyly as the blanket dropped to the ground.
Bella cocked a hip out and rested one palm against it while the other hand reached for the brim of her brown cowgirl hat. After doing a little curtsy she slowly twirled so Edward could get the full effect of her outfit.
He was speechless, his mouth still hung open and he could have sworn he had a little drool collecting on his lip. His couldn't recall if he had blinked once since the blanket had fallen, they felt wide and sort of scratchy. He needed to pull it together if he was going to enjoy this fantasy to its fullest.
The costume put him in mind of the Dallas Cowboys cheer leading uniforms, with the exception that Bella's skirt had ruffles along the bottom and her heeled boots came just below the knee.
Edward shook his head slightly to gather his thoughts and a wide grin plastered itself to his face. "Holy hell, you're a wet dream come true, beautiful." He stepped around her so he could slowly peruse her body at his own speed.
He let out a low whistle. "That is one fine outfit, I love the brown and pink," he said huskily as he stepped up behind her and pressed his chest to her back. He nuzzled her neck again and inhaled her sinful chocolate scent. "As much as I love undressing you, baby… this time I think I'm going to claim you with this sweet little getup still on." His rough velvet voice sent chills down her spine.
His fingers slowly traced upward on her naked thighs towards the hem of her short skirt which was pink and white plaid ruffles with denim around her hips and a dark brown suede belt with tassels at each hip. Much like the skirt, the top was pink and white checkered with a denim overlay and brown fringe that hung under her breasts and along her shoulders. There was also a large single white star at each shoulder.
Edward swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down and his breathing shallow. He needed to keep his wits about him or he'd end up taking her in front of the horses.
Bella's body tingled in anticipation of being with Edward again, feeling his hard length inside of her. He gave her the feeling of warmth, home and complete contentment every time they were together. Edward was home. The rugged, manly and sexy smell of him engulfed her senses. Her eyes scanned his body; he looked so fuckable in his work clothes. He was sweaty and dusty from the hard work of the morning, but that made Bella only want him more.
She recalled how his muscles had rippled under his clothes when she entered the barn and had watched him caring for the horses. How he'd been moving the heavy hay bales so he could pass out the morning feed.
She bit her lower lip and swayed her hips to catch his attention as he seemed to be a bit distracted by what he was gaping at, which from what she could tell was her barely there cowgirl outfit. Score! Edward planted his hands on her hips and he slowly turned her to face him. His eyes darkened and filled with love and lust as she met his gaze; his face was full of determination and desire.
Bella was beyond curious to know what he was thinking. "I can see that beautiful mind of yours churning, cowboy, what do you have in mind? The sky's the limit." Bella said boldly as her fingers traced up Edward's well defined chest while undoing the buttons of his ruby red work shirt, one at a time.
Edward quickly caught on and helped her hurry the process along by undoing some of the buttons and slowly walking them towards the bales of hay that lined the back wall of the barn. He placed open mouthed kisses along her neck and collarbone as they stumbled backwards.
Bella glanced down the open aisle of the stable, it was lined on both sides by natural stained oak stalls, which she knew only about half of them were currently occupied. Wrought-iron bars had been added as an embellishment to the oak and had large horse shoe shaped cutouts over the doors, which allowed the occupants to extend their heads out to see what was happening around them. A few horses, eager to be fed, had their heads hanging over the stall doors.
She wondered if they might sneak into one of the unoccupied stalls, remembering how clean Edward kept the barn, the thought didn't bother Bella all that much. But it seemed Edward had something else in mind as he gradually moved them father away from the stalls. He linked his fingers with hers and began pulling her behind the hay bales. She was surprised to find a set of stairs leading up to what she assumed was a loft.
"Where are we going?" she asked quietly.
Edward made an incoherent sound, much like a hum, as he graciously nibbled on her hand and then along her arm. He was insatiable when it came to her, especially when she was in such skimpy attire. Her outfit didn't help the situation in his ever tightening jeans. He needed to get them off and soon.
He slowly unrolled the cuffs of his work shirt and peeled it off before dropping it to the floor. He quickly pulled his undershirt over his head and tossed it away as well. Halfway up the stairs he pinned Bella against the wall and assaulted her throat by nipping with his teeth, then gliding his tongue soothingly along the marks.
Bella shivered as goose bumps pebbled over her flesh, yet her skin felt like it was on fire everywhere he touched. She began to feel light headed from all of the attention he was lavishing onher body. His hand rested against her stomach, which was bare since the top she was wearing barely covered her chest, back and shoulders.
His hands felt rough and strong resting on her and the feeling sent a wave of lust straight to her core. She wanted those hands a bit lower, in a much achier and needier spot. She was wet already and was thanking God that she decided to forgo underwear. She was eager for him to discover her little secret and wondered how he'd react. She loved exciting him and craved the wild side that emerged when they made love, and she craved the feelings he elicited within her, the feelings of being cherished, beautiful and loved.
He continued to press her against the wall. His cock throbbed with need and was ready for her. His mouth kept busy by kissing her deeply, his tongue fought hers for dominance. Edward groaned as he devoured her mouth, it was hot, wet and tempted him beyond anything he ever thought possible. Her lips were soft and full and he took advantage by sucking her bottom lip and gently biting down as he rolled it between his teeth.
His hands moved up her body, from her hips, up her stomach and the valley between her breasts, to her collarbone, then back down to her thighs before sliding between her legs to her warmth. His breath hitched and he pulled away from her, looking into her eyes.
"Well, well, well, baby, it'd appear you might have forgotten something in your haste to get all dressed up for me." He grinned as an excitedly wicked smirk crossed his face and his fingers caressed her slickness.
Bella whimpered as a single finger entered her. It felt so good. He then thrust a second, then third finger inside of her, moving them in and out before curling them upward.
Edward was eager to bring her pleasure, to thank her for being so bold as to freeze her ass off so she could fulfill a secret fantasy of his. He'd never loved her more. It seemed like every day he found something he loved about her. Every day he realized how lucky he was to call her his own and he vowed to himself that every day in the future he'd make sure she knew how much he loved her.
Bella gasped and moaned in utter desire, he always knew exactly how to work her body. It was as if he was playing a finely tuned instrument with his wonderfully talented fingers. He continued to move them within her, bringing her to the brink before he'd begin to slow down, and then again rubbing her clit in a circular motion and bringing her back up with another series of quick thrusts.
"How does that feel, baby?" he asked, his breath shallow. He was so turned on by watching her slowly come undone, knowing that he was the one causing it. "Does it feel good? Do you like my fingers inside your sweet, dripping pussy?"
Bella unable to articulate any coherent words only moaned in response.
"You need to answer me. I need to hear you tell me what you want," he demanded softly.
She was panting heavily and her face was flushed as she continued to ride his fingers, determined to go the distance. He felt so good inside her throbbing core, she needed more. He was giving her all he had, but then he'd intentionally slow down and tease her. She was going mad with want.
"More… please… Edward, faster… I'm so close, it feels so fucking good," she shouted as grasped for breath.
Edward thrust his fingers in her faster as his thumb rubbed and flicked at her swollen clit, finally sending her over the edge. He kissed along her neck and below her ear and his fingers continued to move inside her as she rode the waves of her orgasm. She collapsed in his arms from pure exhaustion.
"Let's get up upstairs and lay you down, shall we? You're in no condition to walk to these steps in those fuck me boots," he whispered huskily in her ear before scooping her up in his arms.
Bella nuzzled Edward's neck as he carried her up the stairs, her body felt utterly relaxed. She had a lifetime of orgasms like this one ahead of her. She felt blessed to have Edward in her life and knowing that he loved and adored her so much was her undoing. She'd never in her wildest dreams imagined someone could love her as much as he did.
As Edward reached the top of the stairs, he placed Bella back on her feet. She looked around the large expanse; it was much larger than downstairs since it didn't have any stalls, it instead had several shelves and cabinets. The morning light streamed in from the windows and cast a soft glow.
Ropes, bits and mounts hung from hooks on the walls and saddles were neatly lined along the shelves. There was a large stockpile of hay bales and what looked like a hole in the floor so bales could be tossed down to the ground level to provide ease for those mucking out the stalls.
Edward opened one of the cabinets and pulled out a neatly folded riding blanket he laid it out over some loose hay that was piled on the floor. He gently guided Bella to the makeshift bed and asked her to lie down and get comfortable.
After she was splayed out like a prize possession amidst the hay, Edward quickly slipped off his shit kickers and started undoing his belt, another prized possession of his. The buckle was gold with a horseshoe in the background and two mustangs poised as if in a run, welded to the front.
He unzipped his jeans then he pushed them down his legs, freeing his massive erection. He stepped out of them and walked to Bella, unable to hold off his need for her any longer. He knelt beside her and stopped her from trying to remove her own boots.
"No way, baby, those stay on. I want you in them while I fuck you in this naughty cowgirl outfit. I can't let all this," he gestured towards her outfit, "go to waste by taking it off you prematurely."
He crawled up between her legs using his knee to spread her thighs apart. Bella laid back down, her cowgirl hat long forgotten as it'd fallen off somewhere around the stairs. He placed a gentle kiss on her soft lips, which she returned with passion.
He was driving her crazy with his naked body, just looking at the rigid muscles along his abs, sexy broad shoulders and large biceps, which he'd earned form the hard labor of ranch life, had her nearly on the brink of orgasm.
He hitched her leg over his hip, and grabbed his steely length and ran it across her swollen, wet lips before he angled himself and sank into her warmth. They both gasped at the first contact. It was amazing feeling her stretch to accommodate the girth of his cock. He looked into her eyes as he began to move inside her.
"Fuck, handsome," she hissed as his hips relentlessly moved in and out of her tight pussy, which was still sensitive from his incredible finger fuck earlier.
"That's right, beautiful, feel me. This is how much I love being so deep inside your spectacular pussy. You're always so wet and ready for me. You never cease to amaze me with how wonderful you feel," he panted as he moved in and out of her, each word was exaggerated with a powerful hip thrust.
He grabbed her legs, and changed the angle, by placing one over each shoulder. He looked down at where their bodies were joined as they rocked together in sync. He loved seeing himself disappearing inside her beautifully shaved pussy.
This position had its benefits, as he was able to move deeper inside her, reaching the very depths and hitting her G-spot with each thrust. He pounded into her as she moaned and screamed his name. He loved hearing his name fall from her lips.
She was breathless and her face was flushed from the excitement. The only other sounds she heard were Edward's rapid breathing, the slapping of their bodies with each thrust and the occasional whinny from the horses below.
"I don't think I can hold off much longer… you need to cum, Bella. I need you to cum for me," Edward pleaded through clenched teeth. He took a hand from her outer thigh and began rubbing her sensitive clit in a circular motion, pinching as he moved in and out of her tight, wet oasis.
Bella couldn't hold off any longer either. He'd had her ready to cum again from the moment he'd laid her down on the blanket. His sexy voice was all she needed; she loved it when he talked dirty to her as he fucked her. She came strong and hard, the climax shooting her out of this world.
It wasn't long before Edward pulsed inside her clenched pussy as she milked his dick for every last drop. His orgasm was powerful, he'd held off as long as he could. He'd wanted to reward her for spicing things up by wearing the fucking hot outfit and making his blood boil.
"Well, cowboy, if this outfit got this much of a rise out of you just wait until you see what else I have in store for you," Bella teased him with a smirk and a wink.
His curiosity was piqued. "Like the purple one in the picture you sent me the other night?" he asked hopefully. He still hadn't seen the nightie in person, but he was dying to.
"Maybe."
"I guess I'll have to finish up out here and come in and check things out for myself, huh?" he asked causing Bella laughed at his eagerness. "You know since Joe and the hands have the weekend off I could use your help, that way we can get everything done quicker. How about it?"
Bella nodded as she watched Edward pull his jeans back on, it was then she noticed he'd gone commando as well and she felt herself flush with desire all over again.
Edward noticed the lust in her eyes and gazed at her lovingly. He laughed when he noticed a few pieces of hay sticking to her hair. He bent down on one knee and plucked them out. "The price for having a roll in the hay," he mused.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
"Handsome, if you keep this up I'll never leave," Bella half-heartily protested as Edward continued to press her against the driver's side door of her Tundra, his lips placed lingering, open mouthed kisses along her jaw and neck.
"That's the point," Edward murmured as he claimed her mouth with another searing kiss.
After they'd finally left the barn, they'd taken a shower together to rid themselves of hay and dust. Bella's body still tingled with aftershocks of the soul-shattering climaxes she experienced with Edward. Only one more week away from him and she'd be home on the ranch – where she belonged.
Bella ran her fingers through his still damp hair as her leg wound around his hip, their tongues tangled and their breathing became labored. She brought Edward as close to her body as she could and was disappointed that it wasn't close enough, with their clothes in the way. Edward groaned as Bella rocked her hips against his. Oh, how he wanted her to stay, he wanted her in his arms and in his bed every second of everyday.
When they finally broke apart, they were both panting for much needed air. Edward rested his forehead against Bella's and stared into her deep brown eyes, his fingers swept up her neck until they cupped her face. "I love you," he said, still breathless.
Bella felt tears scald the backs of her eyes as she realized it truly was time for her to head back to Forks. "I love you too. It's only a week, Edward, one week and I'll be here for good."
Edward chuckled. "Thank God, because I'm not sure I could say goodbye to you one more time. Hurry home to me, baby."
"I promise," she whispered as she leaned in for one last kiss, by tacit agreement they kept it chaste, knowing that if it wasn't they'd be back to square one and wanting to rip each other's clothes off… again.
"I love you forever and ever and ever and ever," Edward said as he slowly pulled his body away from hers, "Now go, before I tie you to my bed and make you wear that nightie you refuse to show me."
"Promises, promises…" her voice trailed off as she moved to open her door. "What the hell?"
"What?" Edward looked past her pointed finger and saw a few deep scratches along the driver's side door, near the key hole. "Are these new?" he asked as he bent down to examine them more closely.
Bella ran her fingers along the deep lines. "I guess they are. I don't remember seeing them before. It must have happened at the restaurant last night."
"It's okay, baby, I'll get them fixed for you. At least it's not a huge dent."
Bella laughed as she climbed into the truck, turned the ignition and buzzed the window down.
"Drive safe and call me when you get there, better yet, call me along the way."
Bella rested her hand on his cheek. "I promise. I love you and I'll see you in a few days, okay?"
It was Edward's turn to pout. Even though he knew she'd be back in just five days' time, it felt like an eternity. He wanted her here now. He stuck his bottom lip out for added effect, knowing it'd make Bella laugh. "Okay, I love you too." He leaned into the truck and snaked his hand behind her neck to pull her to him for one last kiss.
It was soul-searing. Bella felt her toes curl and her body light with fire. She tangled her tongue with his and savored his taste, mint and coffee.
"Bye, baby," Bella said as she put the truck into drive.
"Not goodbye… see you soon," Edward called as the truck headed away from the house.
By the end of the driveway Bella's eyes were full of tears. Before pulling onto the road she took a few moments to collect herself and wiped her eyes. Remembering that it'd only be a few days and they'd gone longer not being together, a few days wouldn't kill them. Through her rear view mirror she watched the Ranch's gate swing closed and pulled onto the highway and started home.
A few miles down the road, while driving through the winding countryside, Bella noticed her brakes seemed a little off; she had to press harder for them to work. She debated about pulling over and calling Edward and was quickly distracted as her truck sailed down a hill with a sharp curve at the bottom.
Bella repeatedly pumped her brake pedal to the floor and nothing happened – the truck wasn't slowing down and the curve was getting closer and closer. Her foot continued to press on the brakes in hopes they'd miraculously start working.
They didn't. Her hand reached for the emergency brake, but she never got the chance to pull it as her truck hit the curve and launched down the embankment. Bella screamed, her hands gripped tightly around the steering wheel, her foot still pressed to the brake pedal. The truck was airborne and headed straight towards the field below.
Her thoughts turned to Edward, she'd just found him and now it could all be gone in the blink of an eye. She loved him with her mind, body and soul, she knew he was her other half, the missing link in her life. She wanted nothing more than to be with him, become a family… have her belly swollen with his child. And she wanted nothing more than to grow old with him.
Bella's whole body tensed as her truck slammed into the field below. She tried to brace herself as best she could, but searing pain exploded throughout her body before everything went black.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Edward was frantic as he paced around and around the island in his kitchen. He's asked Bella to call him on her way home, it'd been three hours since she'd left and he hadn't heard anything. He'd been trying her cell phone every few minutes, but it always rang then went to voicemail.
His mind raced. Where was she? Why wasn't she answering? Did she break down somewhere? He was tempted to get in his truck and start the four-hour drive to Forks.
Two hours later Edward was beyond worried, he was extremely anxious. He called his parents, since he didn't have Bella's mom or Alice's number, to see if they could check to see if she'd arrived in Forks safely. His dad promised to call him back soon. Edward continued pacing.
E&B~*~*~*~*~E&B
Bella groaned as she tried to open her eyes, only one would open. Her arm screamed in pain as she tried to reach up to touch her face.
"What the fuck?" she mumbled. She moved her hand again, this time more slowly, up towards her face and gently pressed her fingers to the skin around her closed eye. It was swollen; she felt something dry and flaky and could only assume it was blood. How long had she been out? Her eyes darted around, it was twilight, the sky had the tail signs of a pink, purple and orange sunset as the sun finalized its decent behind the pacific coast range.
Bella could faintly hear her cell phone ringing. Her eyes scanned the cab of her truck trying to locate it. She finally spotted it on the floor board of the passenger seat. How in the hell was she going to reach it? Her body felt so stiff and sore.
She slowly unbuckled her seat belt and gently started to lean over the center console to reach the phone. Bella shifted her legs and screamed, tears welled up in her eyes and her breathing hitched. "Oh holy mother fucker!" she gritted through her teeth.
She mentally added possible broken leg to her list of injuries. She allowed her body to calm before she tried to formulate a new strategy. She knew she had to reach the phone, she had a feeling her truck wasn't visible from the road; otherwise someone would have stopped by now, right?
Her phone rang again, Edward's special ring tone. That morning she'd downloaded It's Your Love as both of their personalized ring tones.
'Operation Get Cell Phone' was now in effect. She clenched her teeth and quickly dove for the phone, it slipped from her fingers and she reached a little more and was finally able to grab it. Instead of sitting back up, she leaned over the center console with her upper body sprawled across the passenger seat. She laid there and tried to regulate her breathing in hopes of calming the horrid pains shooting through her body.
She glanced at the screen of her phone and saw 28 missed calls and 14 messages. Holy fuck! Bella quickly hit speed dial for Edward.
It rang only once before he picked up. "Baby, oh my God, are you okay? Where are you?" Edward asked frantically.
At the sound of his voice Bella started crying, all of the emotion of the accident and her injuries came crashing down around her. Her body hurt so much, she was getting cold and she wanted nothing more than Edward's strong arms wrapped around her.
"Bella… baby… where are you? Are you hurt?"
Bella tried to calm her sobbing. "Edward," she whimpered.
"Bella, you're scaring me. Can you tell me what happened?"
"My… my brakes went out." She heard Edward suck in a startled breath.
"Where are you?" he asked again.
Bella tried to remember. "Few miles… your house… hill… field…" her voice trailed off as her vision started becoming blurry.
"I'm coming," he yelled. "Baby, can you turn on your headlights so I can see where you are? It's getting dark."
Bella groaned at the thought of having to move. "I'll try." She slowly pushed her upper body up and snaked her hand through her steering wheel and tried to reach the lights, but her fingers were slick and kept slipping.
She groaned in both frustration and pain. "I can't reach them," she cried into the phone.
"It's okay, baby… I'll find you. I swear I'll find you."
Bella then noticed the button for her emergency blinkers and was able to press it, a slight smile rose when they started flashing. "I got my flashers on. Hurry please… I hurt…" she slurred before passing out.
"I'm almost there, baby. I'm coming."
Edward grabbed his keys and raced for his truck. In a matter of minutes he was sailing down the highway looking for any sign of Bella's truck. How could this happen? Bella's brakes couldn't just stop working all of a sudden… unless… unless someone had tampered with them. Oh God, did someone do this on purpose?
AN: So, I'm sure you're all super pissed at me now… right? Please leave me some love.
Stay tuned for the outtake (make sure you have me on author alert), it'll hopefully answer a lot of questions.
