I know, I didn't discuss birth control in the last update. You know what? Who cares? It's fiction. Let's say they were wearing those old timing prophalytics. Did you know they used to call it an 'English Riding Coat' No shit. :) For all intents and purposes, B's on the pill. Does it really need to be discussed every time they fuck? I'm a proponent of safe sex, but if you aren't smart enough to wrap it up and be safe, it's not my fault :) Rant over.

Location: Washington State

Prompt: Seattle

Early the next morning, Edward lay awake staring at the girl huddled close against him and he tightened his arms around her. Their dark blue tent didn't succeed to keep the sunlight out, so their tent was growing warmer by the minute. Edward was however, relieved that the rain that had been forecasted seemed to stay away. As he looked at Bella once more, Edward determined that he had no regrets about what they had done the night before. If anything, Edward was worried about how things would progress, if at all, once they were in Forks.

Edward knew it was improbable that he could fall for someone so quickly, but he couldn't help the way he felt about Bella. She was unique, beautiful and unlike anyone he had ever met before, but more than anything, she was everything he didn't even know he was looking for. Sure, he had girlfriends in the past and enjoyed his time with them, some more than others of course, he couldn't help but feel like things were different. If they were to fall into a relationship, which he was scared to admit he wanted with her, he knew they would be perfect together.

As Bella stirred a little, Edward kissed his way across the back of her shoulders and Bella moved slightly so her ass was pressed right against his straining morning wood. Edward couldn't help the groan the escaped him and Bella opened her eyes, smiling brightly at him.

"Good morning," Bella said sweetly as she turned her face and Edward kissed her gently. Though he knew they were both tired and stiff from their night before, neither of them could help but escalate their morning greeting. Edward's hands roamed slowly down her side, lifting her leg onto his thigh, which opened her up for him. As they continued to kiss tenderly, Edward slipped his cock inside her heat and groaned at the feeling of being surrounded by her once again.

One of his hands ghosted up her hip and gripped her breast roughly as he pushed and pulled rapidly, their lips fused together as Bella moaned loudly against his mouth. She stretched her leg further, pulling Edward closer to her as the fingers from his free hand began circling her clit, causing her to gasp out loud.

"Oh... god, Edward... more," she urged as Edward continued thrusting his hips furiously and Bella bit down on her bottom lip to stop herself from calling out. Surely they had awoken up some nearby campers or woodland creatures with their fervent lovemaking, but Edward didn't care. He leaned his head down and kissed along the column of her neck as Bella came apart, moaning in ecstasy before Edward followed seconds later.

Needless to say, neither Edward nor Bella were in a hurry to pack up and get on the road that morning.

Once everything was packed and ready to go in the car, Bella had the map splayed out on a picnic table and was trying to determine the best route for them to take back to Forks.

"So, there's the scenic route along Hwy 12 through the Forest, and then we skirt to the south of Olympic National Park, or we can take the 101 north through Port Angeles. Does it matter which way we go?"

"No routes involve heading into Seattle?" Edward questioned as he kissed Bella's temple and watched her intently as she studied the map.

"Well, if we want to go back to Yakima, we could continue along Interstate 90, but it would be kinda pointless and take too long."

"I thought you weren't in a hurry to get home?"

"I'm not really, but it just seems silly to go back and out of our way, don't you think?"

Edward agreed wholeheartedly, and even though he was somewhat disappointed, he knew there would be more times for them to visit Seattle someday. Charlie Swan had trusted him to bring Bella home as quickly as he could, so Edward would do his best to win his trust. Plus, Edward had to admit he was a little curious about why Bella needed to get home so quickly. Neither Charlie or Bella had really provided him with any information.

"So, no to Seattle today, but one day." Edward gave Bella a hopeful smile as she folded up the map and kissed his lips sweetly.

"One day."

Two and a half hours later, Edward turned onto Hwy 101 as they continued their way home. Bella had been quiet since they left the campsite, and sat beside him focused on the book that Edward had given her. Deciding that they needed to have some sort of conversation about the future, Edward broke the silence.

"So, what happens once you get home?" Bella closed her eyes briefly and let out a small sigh. She knew this conversation would need to happen, but she was avoiding it at all costs. Though she loved her time with Edward, however brief, she truly had no idea what awaited her when she finally got back to Forks. "Are you going to stay around for a while or are you just stopping in for a visit."

"I have no idea."

"Okay... then why are you going home in the first place?"

"I have some business to attend to."

"For fucks sake Bella, stop being so bloody cryptic."

"Edward, I don't have the answers you are looking for," Bella shouted in the confines of his small car. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, unable to stop himself, even when Bella reached over and grasped his arm, trying to soothe him. "Listen, things are just... complicated... back home. I don't really want to go there, especially so soon after leaving, but I have no idea what it will be like when I get there."

"Are you going to leave again?"

"Probably, but I don't know when. I could leave tomorrow or I could leave next year. I have no idea, Edward."

"If I asked you to stay, would you?"
