Hey guys, so here's the next chapter. I'm working hard on the next chapter of Infatuation, for those who read that story as well. I hope to have it up by early next week. This chapter is going to jump ahead a bit, just so we can move ahead a little bit further.

A couple of you have requested some information on Edward's family and background and there will be a little of that in this chapter, but there will be more coming soon; I have a plan, just stay with me.

I started a blog where you can keep up with things, get teasers (which will be different than the teasers I send out for reviews). Here's the link, just replace the (dot). http:/featherseverywhereff(dot)blogspot(dot)com/


EPOV

The last month has been nothing short of amazing. Bella and I have spent all of our free time together. Her best friend Rose moved in with my best friend Emmett and they were ecstatically happy. They had a house warming party about a week ago and I was amazed how much Emmett's apartment had changed. What once was your ultimate bachelor pad turned into something homey and warm thanks to Rose. It wasn't girlie at all and you could tell that Rose took Emmett's tastes and wants into consideration when she redecorated their apartment.

Bella had yet to talk to Alice even though she and Jasper showed up to all the karaoke nights that were hosted by Bella and every performance she had at Requiems. The first night she saw Alice at Eclipse Bella was so mad that she sang One Republics "Apologize", Alice cried and ran out of the club that night and I thought for sure she wouldn't come back, but that little pixie was damn determined to get her friend back. I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be as easy as just showing up at Bella's shows to get them talking, but I wasn't going to be the one to push Bella. She'd talk to Alice again in her own time.

Bella and I hadn't moved beyond pleasuring the other with our hands, but I was fine with that. She said she wanted to wait until she was ready and I respected that. I haven't told her I love her yet and she hasn't said it either, but we were building our relationship. We still sang to each other at Eclipse and most of the time it was to tell her how I was feeling about her, but sometimes I just sang something to make her laugh. Emmett, Jas and I took to singing the most ridiculous songs together each week and every time we had the crowd on their feet. This week was no different. We were right in the middle of our song, "Walk This Way" by Run DMC and Aerosmith, you know the good version. Emmett was currently channeling Stephen Tyler as Jas and I did the Run DMC parts. The crowd was loving it, everyone was on their feet, dancing and singing along with us.

"I was a highschool loser never made it with a lady
till the boys told me something' I miss
then my next door neighbor
had a daughter, had a favour
and I gave the girl a little kiss, like this

Emmett made a scene with Rose as he bent down and kissed the shit out of her for a second before popping back up to sing the rest.

"She start swingin' with the boys in the school,
with your feet flyin' up in the air
singin hey diddle diddle
with a titty in the middle
I was swingin' like I didn't care
so I took a big chance at the highschool dance
with the miss who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin
cause she knew what she was doin
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

Jasper and I broke in with the chorus, all while doing some ridiculous strut across the stage. You could barely hear us over the women screaming and whistling. I think someone even threw their panties at us and I somehow doubted it was any of our girlfriends.

"walk this way, talk this way
walk this way, talk this way
she told me to
walk this way, talk this way
walk this way, talk this way

Our girls were all gathered at the edge of the stage screaming louder than anyone as we neared the end of the song, they were throwing their hands up in the air and the guys and I each exchanged a glance; knowing what line was next then the three of us dropped in front of them before singing the next line.

"just give me a kiss…..like this."

At that point we each kissed our girls hungrily in front of everyone before getting back up to take in our applause. I think it was one of our best performances to date. Rose and Alice were already back at our table and Bella was getting ready for the next singer to come up. Jasper, Em and I all gave each other a pat on the back for kicking ass, and then they hopped down to sit with the girls. Rose and Alice were barely talking, but it seems their friendship was on the mend after what had happened. Bella wasn't exactly happy about it, but couldn't fault Rosalie for missing their friend. To be honest I think Bella was on the verge of cracking herself.

"You guys are seriously amazing. I can't believe that performance you just pulled off." Bella said once I had reached her. She gave me a fierce hug and an even hotter kiss then before now that we weren't in front of everyone. When she pulled away I groaned my displeasure. "I'm sorry. As much as I would love to continue this I have to get back to work. If you want you can come over after and we can pick up where we left off."

"YES!" I yelled in excitement. "Why don't you come over to my place instead? It's closer."

Bella giggled and blushed all at the same time. "I love you." Her eyes suddenly widened, her mouth falling open.

"HEY, WHAT'S THE HOLD UP?" Some douche yelled from the crowd. Bella was obviously flustered and kept opening and closing her mouth like a fish, she was adorable. I kissed her quickly on the lips, because whether she meant to or not a confession of that magnitude called for a kiss on the lips. It may have been brief but it was searing.

"Get back to work. We'll talk later." Another kiss, this one lighter and I was back at my seat.

"Sorry about that, guys. Next up is Julian." Bella may have been freaking out on the inside but she hid it well, at least to me she did.

"What's with Bella?" Rose asked.

"Hmm? I don't know." I lied, I wasn't about to tell anyone what Bella said until we talked about it first.

"She looks like she's freaking out. Did something happen when you were with her Edward?"

"No, we just kissed a little." Rose raised her eyebrow at me, not buying the "little" comment. "Okay, a lot, we kissed a lot. Don't worry Rose, she's fine."

Alice decided to put in her two cents worth as well. "No, Rose is right. That look she has right there, she definitely freaking out, but trying not to show it. Normally I would just go back there and talk to her, but I don't think she'd like that too much right now. Rose, maybe you should go talk to her." Rose nodded and got up, heading over to Bella before I could say anything to stop her. "I'm going to use the ladies room. Be back in a few."

"Okay baby." Jasper told her, giving her a kiss before she left. Once she was out of earshot both of my friends turned their gaze on me. Jasper spoke first. "What's going on?"

"What are you talking about?" I took a rather large pull from my beer to hide the smile that threatened to come over my face.

"Don't give us that shit man. We don't have a lot of time here. What's going on? Bella's freaking out and you're sitting here acting like the cat that ate the canary."

"Who the fuck came up with that saying? Cat that ate the canary, I mean I get it, but dude that's just fucked up." Emmett slurred.

"Focus Emmett!" Jasper practically yelled. "Talk Edward!"

"You two are worse than the girls, I swear." They both just stared at me expectantly. "I have nothing to say. Oh, here comes Rosalie." Emmett's face lit up as Rose made her way back to the table, a smug expression on her face.

"Everything okay?" Emmett asked Rose once she sat down. She answered with a "mmmhmm", but just stared at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking by the expression on her face though. Was she pissed at me, happy for her friend? I didn't know.

"Did you find out about what was bothering Bella?" Alice had just returned from the ladies room and sat on Jasper's lap.

Rose looked at me again, narrowing her eyes at me. "I sure did."

"Well? What's the problem?"

"It seems that Bella let the 'L' word slip and Edward didn't say anything." Now I had four pairs of eyes staring right at me and even though I didn't feel guilty about not saying anything, I squirmed in my seat. "Want to tell us what that was about Edward?"

"Not really." I finished off my beer and pour myself another glass.

"Oh no, you're going to tell us." Rose demanded.

"Uh, NO! I'm not!" Angela thankfully came over with the plate of appetizers we ordered and I dug in, filling my mouth with food while everyone else just sat there glaring at me. "Look guys, I know what it looks like, but I don't want to say anything until I've had a chance to talk to Bella, which I am doing tonight as soon as we're at my apartment. Okay? Can we drop it now?"

"Alice and Rose, you guys are up." Bella called from the stage. The girls got up to the stage quickly and the music started. Rose pulled Bella up on stage with them and they started a sexy as hell rendition of "Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett. I don't know about Jasper and Emmett, but there was no way I could take my eyes off my girl. Damn she's hot.

"Holy Fuck! I am getting me some of that tonight." Emmett groaned from beside me.

"Fuck Yeah!" Jasper commented.

"Ungh." I groaned. My pants were getting increasingly more uncomfortable as Bella danced around and sang their song. They started rubbing up on each other, even Alice and Bella.

"Dude you sound like you just blew your load." Emmett snickered.

"Shut up!"

"Bella looks hot."

"Emmett, keep your eyes on your own woman and off mine." I practically growled.

"Would you two shut the fuck up, you're ruining this for me." At Jaspers outburst we both shut up and watched our girls sex it up on stage. The song was almost over but Bella had my full attention.

Every girl an' boy
Needs a little joy
All you do is sit an' stare

The girls dropped to their knees all at the same time.

Beggin' on my knees
Baby, won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair

My, my, my
Whiskey and Rye
Don't it make you feel so fine
Right or wrong
Don't it turn you on
Can't you see we're wastin' time, yeah

Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah

The applause and whistling was deafening and I swear every guy was up at the stage trying to get closer to the girls. Emmett and Jasper noticed this too and we all stood up to go to them, claiming what was ours. We pushed through the throngs of people until we were standing at the edge of the stage. Alice and Rose jumped into Jasper and Em's arms, but Bella was already on the side gearing up for the next singer. I rushed over to her and grabbed her around her waist. She squealed in surprise as I breathed on her neck. "That was so fucking sexy."

"I'm glad you liked it."

"Oh I more than liked it Bella." I made sure to ground my hips into her backside to make sure she knew exactly what her little performance did to me. "Do you feel it, what you do to me?"

Bella whimpered but ground her delectable ass into my erection causing me to hiss.

"Fuck Bella."

"Edward." She whispered, grounding her ass into me again, if she didn't stop I was going to explode in my pants right here.

"Baby. We gotta stop."

"Yeah. Okay." My arms loosened around her and she turned in my arms. Her cheeks were flushed and I don't think it was from the singing. "Do you still want me to come over tonight?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Because of…because of what I said earlier. I thought…maybe I…I don't know..scared you away or something."

"Silly girl. You couldn't scare me away. We'll talk when we get to my place, okay. Don't worry about things." Bella nodded and kissed me soundly on the lips before pushing me away in the direction of my seat.

Emmett and Rose made a quick exit shortly after I returned and I kind of wished Jasper and Alice would do the same since Alice was on Jasper's lap and they were sucking each other's face off at the moment.

"You two need to get a room." Angela had come by clearing the plates and glasses off the table. I laughed since her words were in line with what I was just thinking. Thankfully Jasper and Alice broke apart and laughed at Angela's comment.

"Sorry Ang. I guess we just got a little carried away."

"It's okay Jasper. I have a feeling if I sang that song and danced like that in front of Ben he'd be all over me too."

"How is Ben?" I asked her.

"He's great. We're moving in together actually."

"That's great Ang. Are you moving into his place?" Alice asked way too excitedly if you ask me.

"Um no, actually we're getting a place together. His place is far too small and I have a roommate, so getting something else just makes more sense."

"Good for you Angela. I'm happy for you." I told her. Ben's a great guy and I know he and Angela are very happy together and have been for a while now.

"Thanks Edward. So is there anything else I can get you guys. It's last call."

We all replied with a no and Angela left to finish up her night.

"I think we're gonna go. You okay until Bella gets done?" Jasper asked. Alice was gathering her things as Jas stepped out of the booth.

"Yeah, I'm good. You guys have a good night."

"You too man. Tell Bella goodnight for us."

"I will." I sat and watched a few more people go up waiting for the night to end so I could get my girl back at my place and tell her how much I love her and then hopefully she'll let me show her.

BPOV

I cannot believe I actually blurted out that love him. How stupid am I? It's way too soon to say those three words, right? I mean it's only been a little over a month, but hell I knew I loved him after the first week. He's just that amazing. I freaked out as soon as the words spilled from my mouth and tried to hide it as I went on stage but I knew Rose would see it. She came back to talk to me not long after the next song came on.

"Bella, what's going on?" She said in a rush.

"I'm the stupidest person on the face of the earth Rose. God, why did I have to say that?" The tears were threatening to spill over, but I had to keep them at bay. There was no way I could break down right now. It would have to wait until I was home. Oh God, home, I'm supposed to be going over to his place tonight. Is he still going to want to do that? And if he does will he just wait until we're there to break my heart into a million pieces. Probably, Edward wouldn't destroy me in front of all these people. He'd do it in private so that I don't embarrass myself.

"Bella, what happened? Edward is out there smiling like a toddler who just got his favorite candy bar and you're back here freaking out. What the hell happened?"

"I told Edward I love him."

"What! That's great. What did he say? Oh, wait…what did he say B? I swear if he hurt you I'm going to go out there and kick is ass."

"Rose! He didn't say anything. I think he was in shock. I mean, shit, I said it and I'm in shock. It's too soon Rose, I shouldn't have said it. How do I fix this?" I was on the verge of hyperventilating at this point. I needed something, anything to calm me down.

"Hey, snap out of it. It's going to be fine. Edward doesn't look pissed or freaked out. This may be better than you think Bella." Rose was using her soothing voice; it's not something she brings out that often so I knew the situation had to be bad if she was bringing it out. "You're going to have to talk to him Bella. The words are out there, you can't take them back, so you're just going to have to deal with them." The song was coming near its end now and I needed to pull myself together.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks Rose."

"You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. You go ahead and go back to Emmett. You and Alice are up next anyway."

Once she was gone I took a few deep cleansing breathes before I called Rose and Alice up on stage. They were singing "Do you wanna touch me" by Joan Jett and I just knew it was going to be a hit. When Rose pulled me up on stage with them I wasn't at all surprised, she did this regularly. I was trying to have a good time despite Alice being there and rubbing up on me, not to mention to stress of my confession to Edward weighing on me, but I managed to really get into the song. When I looked out into the crowd and saw Edward the look in his eyes had my panties soaking wet. He looked feral and hungry and he was staring at me.

The song ended and there were men lining the edge of the stage. I noticed the guys getting up and heading towards us, I went back to the machine and requests so the next performer could come up. I felt him enter and when he grabbed me around the waist I squealed. His hot breath was on my neck and I swear I almost came just from his words alone. He said we'd talk back at his place and I was relieved that he didn't seem at all weirded out by what I had said earlier, instead he was insanely turned on. I could feel the evidence of it on my ass. When he went back to the table I had to calm my breathing so I could finish the night and get home. If the conversation went well then I was positive that we'd take our relationship to the next level.

I came out at the end of the evening and Edward was sitting alone at the table, he was talking on the phone, which I found odd considering it was two in the morning. I hope it isn't an emergency at work because God help me we need to talk or I was going to explode.

"Okay dad. Talk to you later." He said as I approached. "Hey beautiful, you ready?"

"Yep." I grabbed his hand and we walked out into the cold night air to my car. "Were you talking to your dad?"

"Oh, yeah. He called to remind me about brunch on Sunday. Seems my mom was stressing out over it and wouldn't sleep until he talked to me." He chuckled then he just looked downright uncomfortable. "Um, I actually wanted to talk to you about that, among other things, but that can wait until we get home. Follow me back to my apartment, okay baby?"

"Mmhmm." My mind was working on overdrive. Was he going to invite me to brunch with his parents? That was huge, right, not something that someone does if they're about to break up with you. "I'll see you there."

The drive to his apartment was short and my mind was on everything that happened tonight. Edward's car pulled into a parking spot that I assumed was his assigned space and I found another spot close to his that was marked VISITOR, with another calming breath I turned off the car and got out. Edward was already at my door to help me out of the car. "Thank you."

"My pleasure beautiful. After you."

We walked side by side into his building and into the elevator up to his fifteenth floor apartment, neither of us uttering a single word. Once he had the door open he moved aside to let me in first. I hadn't been here before, for whatever reason we'd always ended up at my apartment. When the lights come on I gasped. The space is absolutely beautiful, warm and definitely masculine. With dark wood floors, taupe walls and beautiful artwork hanging on said walls. Right after we enter the apartment, the kitchen is directly to the right. It's decked out in all stainless steel appliances and dark grey granite countertops. The cabinets are stark white and pull the space together nicely. With the Viking range fit for a world class chef this kitchen is my dream come true. "Wow, Edward, this kitchen is beautiful."

"Thank you Bella. I hope you make yourself comfortable here. I would love to see you cooking in this kitchen." He says as he wraps his strong arms around me.

"Mmmm, I'd like that." His lips descend on my neck leaving hot, wet open mouthed kisses there and the feeling is pure heaven. I let out a small quiet moan but instead of continuing he stops and pulls away. I turn to look at him with what I hope is a cute pout; the smile on his face tells me that it is.

"If I didn't stop I never would have Bella." With his thumb and forefinger he tilts my chin up so he can capture my lips in a light kiss. "You're adorable when you pout, you know that?" Edward grabs my hand and pulls me towards the living room. The room is painted in the same color as the entry way, but instead of being boring, like I thought it would be it just makes the space feel comfortable. There is a large brick fireplace against the far wall, which I wasn't expecting in a high rise apartment building, and huge floor to ceiling windows alongside it framing the most magnificent view of the city. The mantle is a beautiful wood that matches the color on the hardwood floors. To my right I see a huge flat screen TV mounted on the wall along with a very intimidating looking entertainment center. I swear to you the man has everything you could imagine on that thing. A state of the art stereo, an Xbox 360, Playstation and a Wii as well as what I could only assume is a Blu-ray player seeing as he has top of the line…well everything.

Situated in the middle of the room, facing both the fireplace and TV is an L-shaped leather sofa in a rich brown color. To break up the brown he has a lush floor rug in blue. More artwork adorns his walls and on the mantle I can see pictures of him with other people, Jasper, Emmett and a photo of his parents, or at least I think it's both his parents, I recognize the blonde man next to the radiant woman who looks just like Edward. I walk slowly over to the pictures to take a closer look. I turn and silently ask Edward if it's alright that I look at his photos and he simply nods with a big beautiful smile on his face.

"I recognize your dad, is this your mom?" I ask, pointing to one of the pictures set in a big silver frame.

"It is." He says from right behind me. When did he come over here?

"She's beautiful. You have her eyes and her hair color."

"Thank you. She's uh…actually been bugging me to meet you."

"What?" I'm surprised by this. We haven't really talked much about his family, I mean yeah he told me about his childhood but he hasn't really said much about seeing his family lately.

"I spoke to her yesterday and she wants to meet the woman who's captured my heart and soul." I blushed at his words, could he possibly get any more perfect. "We don't have to do it now, obviously, but soon, I'd really like you to meet her. My dad of course already loves you."

"I only met him once and we weren't even together then, how could he possibly love me?"

"Well Bella, it only took one time meeting you for him to love you. He said you two had a very nice talk and he thinks you're wonderful."

I didn't know what to think, when I last talked to his dad I was with Jasper and I don't think I reacted that well to him telling me that I should be with Edward at the time. "Okay." I said, thinking that meeting his mom wasn't going to be so bad.

"Okay?" He asked.

"Okay, I'll meet your mom." I was suddenly lifted off my feet and being swung around the room.

"Thank you Bella. You're going to love her. I'll call her tomorrow and let her know. How's brunch on Sunday?"

He was so excited I couldn't help but smile at him and agreed Sunday was going to be just fine. The rest of the pictures on the mantel were mostly of him and his parents at his college graduation and he, Emmett and Jasper. Considering he had no siblings to speak of it was a given that Em and Jas took over the role of brothers for him. I noticed a really adorable picture of a miniature Edward with a blonde boy swimming together. "Who's this?"

He leaned in close to get a better look, but I had a feeling it was just to get closer to me since it was a picture of him in his house on his mantel. "That's my cousin Riley. My mom's sister, my aunt and her husband lived only a few blocks from us ever since I was a baby. Riley and I were more like best friends instead of cousins all throughout childhood."

"Do you see him a lot now?" He had never mentioned Riley before.

"Um, no. Riley died when he was thirteen, leukemia. It's what made me want to be a doctor actually. Seeing him go through that was really rough." He was so sad, it was clear that his cousin's death still had an effect on him. I wrapped my arms around him, trying my best to comfort him the best I could. "Thank you. You're amazing Bella, truly."

"I'm sorry to have brought it up. The last thing I ever want is to make you upset."

"It's okay. I knew once you saw that picture I was going to have to tell you." He took a deep breath against me. "Shall we continue with the tour?"

I didn't see any other rooms; Edward dragged me into his bedroom and had me pinned against the door before I could even get a look at the room.

"I want you Bella." His lips made a trail from my ear to my neck where he sucked and licked every inch of skin he could find. His hands found their way to the hem of my shirt and started lifting it. His lips broke away from my heated skin to remove the offending garment then went straight back to work. His hands started kneading my lace covered breasts and my back arched into his hands. "You like this, don't you baby?"

"Ugh."

"Wrap your legs around my waist baby. I need to feel you." I hopped up, doing as he asked and the feeling of his rock hard erection against my overheated pussy was indescribably. He ground himself into me and I mewled in pleasure. The man had me making sounds like a cat in heat. "I love the sounds you make Bella."

"Oh God Edward. Please." What was I asking for? I had no idea, but he seemed to know what my mind couldn't comprehend because he ground his hips into me again. My head slammed back into the wall with a loud thud but the slight pain just made it all the more intense. I was so turned on I thought I might explode. "Bed. Take me to the bed."

Edward's head snapped up to look at me, searching my eyes for something, probably wondering if I was sure about this and damn it I was ready. "Not yet baby. We still need to talk. We're not doing that" his head motioned to his very large bed "until we talk." He set me on my feet and slowly backed away, sitting on the edge of his bed. He patted the space beside him. "Come here."

I did as he asked and sat next to him, feeling exposed in just my jeans and bra. I'm sure I looked like a hot mess with my hair in disarray and my lips swollen. I turned to face him, ready to get this conversation over with. "I'm sorry about what I said back at Eclipse. I didn't mean to freak you out, but…" His finger pressed against my lips, effectively silencing me. My eyes found his as I waited for him to say something.

"Do I look freaked out right now?" I shook my head since his finger was still on my lips. "Good. Now, I should have said this as soon as you told me you loved me, but that wasn't possible at the time, so I am going to say it now and I want you to listen very closely to me, okay?" I nodded; my stomach feeling like it was tying itself in knots. "Ever since I laid eyes on you I knew you were the one for me. I was so, so stupid not talking to you right away and making you mine that very first night. I've had to endure you dating my best friend and during that time I just got to know you better and fell harder for you every day I was around you. The last month has been unbelievable and I wake up every single day with a smile on face because I know I have you and I've been dying to say this to you since the first week we were together but I was afraid of scaring you away, but not anymore. What I'm trying to say Bella is that I love you too. So much." I threw myself at him, attaching my mouth to his, tasting him and my hands immediately went to his shirt to remove it. Once it was gone I devoured every inch of newly exposed skin. God this man was going to be my undoing.

I licked a trail down his perfectly sculpted abs down to his belly button, where I swirled my tongue. As I enjoyed his skin my fingers unbuckled his belt, and with nimble fingers unbuttoned the fly on his pants and started tugging. Edward's hands were in my hair, holding me to him, but he got the idea when I started tugging and stood up so I could take his pants and boxer briefs off. His beautiful cock sprang up in front of me and I couldn't help it, I wanted it in my mouth, so I shot forward aligning my mouth with his dick then looked up at him through my lashes which caused him to groan and throw his head back. My tongue swirled around the head and then I licked from the base of his shaft to the tip before taking him fully in my mouth. "Oh fuck!" He gasped as I pumped him in and out of my mouth, with my hands taking hold of the base of him. All too soon he pulled away from me, pulling me up to my feet where he swiftly got rid of my jeans and panties in one smooth motion. Before I knew it he had me completely naked and sprawled across the bed, my legs bent and spread for him and my breasts bouncing from being lightly pushed down onto the mattress. I noticed his eyes take a long lascivious look at my naked form before coming back to my eyes. The emerald green in his eyes was darker now, and the look he gave me was predatory. Never in my life did I enjoy being the prey than I did right at this moment. "Are you sure about this Bella?" He asked as he lowered himself onto the bed beside me.

"God yes. I need you. Make love to me Edward." And that's all it took. He pulled a condom out of the side table, ripped the package and sheathed himself with it so quickly that if I blinked I was sure I would have missed it. Next thing I knew he plunged into me in one thrust. "Ohhhh!" I moaned when he was fully inside of me. He stayed put, letting me adjust to him. He was big, I already knew that, but the feeling of wholeness I now felt was almost too much. Almost.

"I'm sorry Bella. Just give me a moment. You feel incredible." I looked up at him and I could see the tendons in his neck straining as he tried to calm down enough to start moving within me. Edward slowly pulled out only to plunge back in slowly, I thought for sure if he didn't move I was going to scream, I needed more friction and I needed it now. "So good baby, oh god it's sooooo gooooooooodd."

His pace was slow for a while, looking deep into my eyes with his hands cradling my face. "You're so beautiful Bella." He said. Over and over he kissed every inch of my face, my eyelids, my forehead, my cheeks, nose, chin and finally my lips. His kisses were so sweet, so tender as he moved in me. I felt loved, so loved and I never wanted the feeling to end. His thumbs stroked my cheeks gently as he looked at me. I could feel every hard inch of him on top of me and instead of feeling trapped like I did ever since Jamie I felt warm and safe. Edward had become my security blanket and although the thought should scare the shit out of me I just felt free and a lot less broken.

Usually I felt unsure of what to do during sex, should I touch his face, scratch his back with my blunt finger nails, would he like that? As my hips moved in sync with Edwards I brought my hands to the side of his head pulling him to me. I leaned up a bit to capture his lips with mine. With him everything came easily, I knew what to do with my hands and my body to make him feel as good as he was making me feel.

Edward hitched my leg up around his hip, and the new position drew him deeper inside of me. He was hitting my g-spot and I thought for sure I was going to burst at the sheer ecstasy of it. "Right there baby….oooooh….Ed…waaaard. Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stoooopppppp." My voice didn't sound like my own as he pounded into me, I was mewling like a cat in heat, which couldn't have been attractive, but at this moment I couldn't care less. Edward was doing things to my body that I never knew were even possible.

"Never, never….going…to…..stop" He pounded into me with renewed vigor and I could feel my head hitting the headboard as his thrusts pushed me further and further up the bed. Edwards hand went to the back of my neck, pulling me to him then kissed me as our bodies moved together, a thin sheen of sweat coating each of our bodies making his chest slide easily up mine and causing the most delicious friction on my hardened nipples. "FUCK Belllllllllaaaaaa….I'm gonna cum baby. I need you to cum with me."

The hand that wasn't holding onto the back of my neck slid down my body until it reached where we were connected and started rubbing my clit. "OOOOOHHHHHHH EDWAARRRRDDDDD!"

"Cum for me baby. Cum all around my cock. I need to feel it." That's all it took for my entire body to reach its climax and I exploded around him screaming his name and my orgasm triggered his because he started yelling out my name right then. "BELLLLLAAAA FUCK!" Edward thrust into me two more time before he stilled above me and then collapsed on top of my sweaty body.

"We should have been doing that the whole time." I panted into the crook of his neck.

"Mmmm, yeah. You're incredible Bella. I'm glad we waited. It was so worth it." Edward rolled off me, but wrapped his arms around my waist, bringing my limbless body with him. I was almost asleep listening to his heart beating since my head was pressed onto his chest, his breath fanning over my face. "I love you Bella."

"I love you." I whispered before falling asleep.

Light streaming in through the window woke me up the next morning. I stretched and felt the ache between my legs, bringing back the memory of what transpired last night. Edward and I had sex and my god was it amazing, I couldn't help the smile that took over my face.

"What are you smiling at beautiful?" Edward's rough voice came out next to me. I turned my head to look at him, his head was still on the pillow and he was clearly still waking up. Rolling over to my side so I could get a better view of the man I love laying next to me I ran my fingers through his hair.

"Just thinking about last night."

"And what exactly about last night were you thinking about to bring that bright beautiful smile on your face, love?"

"Well I was thinking about your lips…." He popped his head up at this and leaned forward to give me a kiss then I continued. "and I thought about your hands." His hands were then moving under the covers and placed on my hip.

"What else?" His voice was husky now and I could feel his erection poking me on my thigh so I nudged him a little with my leg. "Ungh, Bella." He closed his eyes and groaned.

"I was also thinking about this." I nudged him gently again with my thigh so there was no doubt in his mind what I was referring to. There would be no more talking for another hour after that as he flipped me on my back and recreated the events of last night.

After a quick shower in Edward's luxurious bathroom I went out into the kitchen to find him pulling two mugs out of the cabinet for us and judging by the smell wafting through the apartment he had made coffee.

"Would you like some coffee Bella?"

"God yes!" I practically moaned, just the thought of coffee was heaven. I heard Edward growl, yes growl, from the kitchen and before I could blink I was pinned up against the wall for the second time in just a few short hours. "Oh!" I squeaked.

"You can't say things like that and not expect me to react Bella. You know what the sound of you moaning does to me add to that those words and I have absolutely no self control." His hot breath was right at my ear and with his body pressed into me I could feel all six foot two of him and it turned me on, A LOT!

"Oh god!" My voice sounded weird, even to me and my entire body was on fire. Never in my life did I think I would be one of those women who couldn't get enough of another person, wanting to have them, claim them, devour them every second you were near each other, but damn it that's how I was feeling right now. I wanted Edward again, right here against this wall. I whimpered when he slowly let me go, but not before skimming his nose from my ear to my neck, which just made my skin erupt in goose bumps. Breathless, I asked him where he was going.

"As much as I would love to ravage you against this wall right now I have to get to work, but I promise you that I will make it up to you later my love." He kissed me in a scorching in a kiss that literally took my breath away, again; I'm surprised I'm still upright if I can be honest with you.

We drank our coffees chatted about what our plans were for today and then were out the door. He escorted me to my car and left me with another mind blowing kiss before I drove home. I was still in a daze by the time I got to my building and basically skipped all the way to my door.

"Well someone's happy." I looked up and saw Tay walking down the hall, her arms loaded up with boxes, being the good friend I am I ran over to help her. "Wait one second, aren't those the clothes you wore last night?" When I didn't answer, but merely blushed the color of a cherry tomato she continued. "OH MY GOD BELLA! YOU GOT LAID!" She screamed. "How was it?" I think at this point I must have been purple. "That good huh? I want every last detail. I'm coming over tonight after with margaritas and you are going to tell me everything. EEEEEEEE!"

"Tay! Calm down, alright. I am not going into detail about what Edward and I did or didn't do last night."

"Bellll-aaaaaa! COME ON! I tell you all about the things Demetri and I do…"

"And I want to bleach my eyes with the imagery you put into my brain every time. NO! It's called over-sharing Tay and I do not intend to tell you anything about me and Edward."

"You're no fun. I'm still coming over tonight and will ply you with margaritas and you will tell me everything B." Tanya never gave up easily, EVER! I had no doubt she would use every trick in her evil little bag to get me to talk. "I gotta run. See you in a little while B." I muttered a goodbye then got into my apartment.

Throughout the day Edward texted me telling me how much he missed me already and how much he loved me. I was truly happy and in love for the first time in a long time. Now all I had to worry about was brunch with Edward's parents.


There you have it. I know a bunch of you were wondering when they were going to have sex and I hope that quenched your thirst a little.
