The Learning Curve: Chapter 77
Edward Cullen's Bed
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A surprise had been waiting for me beneath Bella's panties.
Apparently, the legs weren't the only thing she'd waxed.
It wasn't a full wax, which was fine by me, but there was definitely more skin showing than during the last time I saw her naked.
"Wow," I murmured, running the backs of my fingers along the smooth, perfect skin at the crease of her thigh. I let my fingers slip between her folds, caressing this part of her that somehow managed to remain so mysterious.
I looked up, stalling only briefly at her breasts before looking into her eyes. I wanted so badly to dive into her and into the pleasure that I knew would be unlike anything I'd felt before – but I also knew it was my duty to make this memorable for her – memorable in a good way, to be specific. Even though my cock was straining against my jeans, I knew there was only one thing to do in this moment, and that was to place my head between her legs.
"Oh God," I heard her whisper when she realized what I was doing. Then I had my mouth on her, and the world narrowed to her flavor and her heat and her sweet moans. I could admit it: I loved doing this to her. I loved the way she tasted. I love the way her skin felt under my tongue. I love the way she whimpered my name when she needed to come.
"Edward. Edward, please."
That was the sound. I trapped her clit between my upper lip and my tongue and sucked until her body spasmed in climax.
When I sat up to view her flushed and relaxed body, she smiled languidly at me and reached for the button of my pants.
I was so grateful I could cry.
Soon, we were both naked, and Bella had her hand working eagerly on me. I let my head fall back, and it wasn't long before I was thrusting into her hand. I burned with the thought of being inside her.
"Should I stop now?" Bella asked, slowing a little. "I mean, won't it kind of put an end to the night if you...?"
It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what she meant, but it did take a little while for my lust-addled brain to catch up. "Make me come now," I rasped, only partly out of desperation. "I'll be able to last longer after. It will be better for you."
Either Bella took my words to heart, or she was a saint, because she mercifully put her mouth on me, and she coaxed me quickly to orgasm.
A/N: Thank you for your compliments. Believe it or not, when I said sex scenes took me forever, I wasn't actually referring to a lack of confidence in my abilities...it just so happens to be like pulling teeth trying to get the words on the page. It's so hard to strike the right balance; I have to wrestle every sex scene into submission. Then I have to handcuff it to the bed and spank it for a while...
Anyway. Would you believe that I have an easier time writing from a male POV when it comes to sex? They're just more straightforward, I guess.
