The Learning Curve: Outtake 1

Anywhere, Wyoming

"Where are we?"

It was mostly a rhetorical question. I knew we were somewhere in Wyoming because we'd passed the sign welcoming us to the state about three hours ago. Where we were in Wyoming was less certain because I hadn't seen a living soul other than the occasional prairie dog in at least an hour.

Edward shot me a look that clearly said, "How should I know?"

I shrugged. "Just wondering. We're not lost, are we?"

"No, we're not lost," Edward scoffed. "You can't get lost following the highway, Bella."

"If we do get lost, you're not going to stop to ask for directions, are you?" I complained. "It's already starting. Just because you're married doesn't mean you have to start acting like a man."

Edward snorted. "Who would we even ask around here? I haven't even seen a sign for a rest stop lately."

I sighed. "We can't even play I Spy or anything. There's nothing to spy."

"Don't you have a book to read or something?"

"Yeah," I acknowledged. But I just didn't feel like it, so I went back to looking out the window. There had to be something we could do to alleviate the boredom. I mean, we were on our honeymoon. I knew it would involve long stretches of driving, but surely we could spice it up a little.

I mean, really, there was only one thing to do to spice up a honeymoon. I glanced at Edward and thought about things I'd seen in movies – a girl giving a guy a blowjob while driving, for instance. There wasn't really a lot of room between his lap and the steering wheel, though, and if, heaven forbid, my awesome oral skills made him crash the car, my head would be crushed by an air bag. So maybe that wasn't a great idea. Edward, though, he only needed one hand to drive. His other hand could sneak into my shorts. But that seemed a little rude, asking him for a handjob because I was bored. There ought to be something in it for him.

"Can you pull over?" I asked.

His right eyebrow quirked up. "Pull over? Why?"

I glared at him. Couldn't he see what was happening here? "Just do it."

"Okay," he sighed and flicked on his blinker, even though there was no one around to see it. He pulled onto the gravelly, weed-invaded shoulder and put the car in park.

I unbuckled my seatbelt. "Okay, now put your seat back a bit," I demanded.

"Okay," he said warily, adjusting the seat. "What is all this, Bella?"

"I'm entertaining myself," I grinned, leaning over the center console. I unzipped his shorts and freed his already hardening cock – apparently he'd finally figured out what was going on – but he stopped me when I began to lower my head.

"Bella, someone could see."

I rolled my eyes. "Who, a cow? We haven't seen signs of human life for miles." I brushed his interfering hands away and took him in my hands in preparation. I lowered my mouth onto him and heard his head thump against the car seat as he gave into the sensation.

I took as much of him as I could and set a steady, slurping rhythm that soon had one of his hands gripping the steering wheel for support and the other tangled in my hair. I wanted to sit up and make a crack about listening to one's wife, but judging by the way his thighs were trembling, he would have killed me if I'd stopped at that moment.

After he came, I sat back in my own seat, daintily wiping the corners of my mouth. He sat with his eyes closed, breathing hard.

"Want me to drive for a little while?" I asked.

He nodded silently.

A/N: So I appreciate all your kind words on the ending. I promise to try to give you lots of extra goodies.

My new job is going well, for those who asked. I'm enjoying the steadier schedule. And now that Mars and Mercury are out of retrograde, things feel a whole lot better. An astrology dummy explanation on that: retrograde is when it looks like a planet is standing still/moving backward in the sky. When it starts moving forward again, it's out of retrograde. And that backwardness leads to all kinds of hang-ups, ESPECIALLY where Mercury is concerned for me - although Mars is really bad, too.

One thing I'll really miss about these updates is getting to interact with you guys.
