She turns back over one shoulder and catches my eye, undoubtedly identifying severe lust and perhaps a prescience of remorse.

"Don't be gentle with me, Edward," she pleads, confirming the request with a grave head nod.

"Oh God," I nearly whimper, smoothing my hand over her bare behind.

"Please!" she begs with finality, before turning back and anchoring herself against the wall.

One last glance at the space between her creamy bare thighs seals the deal. My fingers reach to prepare her for me, but she's already slick and wanting.

I grasp one hip and bury myself deep inside her.

Satin and skin twist and undulate, the loops and tails of the bow jouncing in response like a bareback rider on a galloping mare. Bella's grunts and groans spiral with mine as we rut together, completing the Wild Kingdom mating scene.

She loses her balance momentarily as she pulls one hand off the wall and begins rubbing herself furiously, her fingertips grazing me as I plunge in and out. Sensation heaped upon sensation, feverish grinding added to pounding, the tension breaks in a glorious burst of shared ecstasy.

Bella's footing falters again and I loop my arm beneath her waist.

Bella's heavy panting gives way to a torrent of giggles. She twists and rises in my arms, affording me my first glimpse of the front of her in the corset she's mostly still wearing.

"Damn, woman, how am I ever gonna concentrate on…anything…ever again?"

Her eyes soften at my words. "I love the way you look at me, Edward."

I scoff. "Like a wild animal in heat?"

"Like a man who wouldn't notice if the house were caving in around us right now."

"What house?" I respond, crashing my lips against hers.

"Could you untie me please? I need air."
