Chapter 32 Part 1 (Don't kill me, but I broke this long chapter into two parts)
EPOV
This woman is going to kill me. I try to resist her, but she is too tempting. As much as I want her physically, I want her mentally and emotionally more. I hope that fact is coming across to her. She deserves love, not just physical attraction. She deserves a man who worships her in every way. I'm probably not that man, but I can lay the ground work for her to trust again.
Over breakfast we discuss our day.
"Let's head out to my parents early today. I'd like to surf and I'm sure the boys would like to run around on the beach." I say.
"Do we need to bring anything for dinner?"
"Nope, we should just pack a bag for tonight and take off. Seth is following us in his car and Paul is staying here and watching the rescue."
"Okay, I can be ready in an hour." She says while I'm clearing the table.
"I'll do the dishes; you go do whatever it is you need to do." I say as I booty her away from the sink.
She laughs and flicks water at me before she leaves the room.
I chuckle and shake my head. I can barely remember what this apartment was like without her. She has brought so much light into my life; she and Buddy, both. With Buddy here, I now have Booboo as my own personal dog. When she and Buddy are gone, I'm glad I won't be here totally alone.
We take my car to Laguna, because the surf racks are on the top.
Bella seems more nervous than usual. "Are you okay?" I ask her as we drive down the coast.
"Yep, I'm fine. I just haven't seen your family in a while."
After the greetings, hugs and kisses with my parents. Bella, the dogs and I go down to the beach.
Bella sits on the beach, and throws balls for the dogs while I go out and surf. I can feel her watching me. I show off a little, I can't help it. I like it when she looks at me. I check to make sure she's still on the beach every few minutes, like she's going to disappear again.
The next time I look she's standing at the water's edge. I ride my board in to where she's standing.
"Do you want to go for a swim?" I ask.
"Kind of. I'm hot and I think I wore out the dogs for now. They're crashed on our now very sandy towels." She laughs.
I sneak a peek at the boys and they look spent.
I run my board up to the dry sand. "Let's go." I say as a grab her hand as we make our way to deeper water.
"The temperature is perfect." She says.
"It's all perfect." I add smiling down at her beautiful face.
"I know, the waves are great. You looked like you were having fun. When did you start surfing?"
"Hmm, I guess I started when I was about twelve. It took me a few years to build up enough strength to swim in the ocean. I swam a lot for physical therapy, but the ocean is very different."
"Well, you're very good. I like watching you. It's...sexy."
"Sexy, huh?" I say pulling her into an embrace. The water is at my waist, her chest.
A wave comes and I lift her up. She wraps her legs around my waist. Oh, I like this position. So many dirty thoughts enter my mind. I want her like this against the wall, door, or shower tile.
I kiss her waiting mouth. I lick her lips and she opens for me. She smells like sunshine and coconut. "Umm, you taste good, baby." I hum against her lips.
"You feel good." She says.
I hold her to me with one arm, turning her back to the shore. My other hand skims her stomach and breasts. She arches into my hands when I circle her taut nipples.
She glances back at the beach, which is empty except for the two sleeping dogs.
I move my hand lower and touch her hot center through her thin bikini bottoms. I can feel her heat even in the cold water.
I rub up and down, she moves along with me, her head resting on my chest.
"More please." She whispers.
I slide my hand in the side of her bikini by her thigh. She's slick and wet and hot.
"You're so wet, baby. So hot." I groan.
"Only for you." She pants.
I move up and down her lips avoiding her clit. She moves against my hand, seeking contact with her sensitive nub.
"What do you want, baby?"
"Everything." She moans.
I slip one finger inside her, curling it forward. My thumb hits her clit each time I thrust my finger.
I slip a second finger in causing her to moan in pleasure. "You like that baby?"
"Yes, more, Edward. Please, more." She begs.
I add a third finger making sure I rub her G-spot with each thrust. My thumb keeps constant pressure on her throbbing nub.
She rides my fingers and grinds against my thumb. She's so sexy. I watch in awe as she climaxes and pulses around my hand. I can't help but wish it was my cock feeling her wetness, heat and tightness.
Watching her, feeling her, makes me rock hard. What she does to me. It doesn't help that she's kissing my neck and tasting the salt on my skin as she comes down from her orgasm.
"Yum, you're salty." She mumbles. My mind goes straight to the gutter, because I picture her saying exactly that while tasting another part of my anatomy.
"You like that don't you." She purrs as she rubs against my very hard cock.
"I like anything you do, Bella." I groan as our lips meet for a deep passionate kiss.
"Can I touch you?" She asks hesitantly.
"Um... someone might see us." I state trying to stall. I'm sure Seth is up on my parent's patio watching the beach.
"Turn your body this way, with your back to the shore."
I do as she asks, but I still don't know how this is going to work. And I'm terrified of how the velcro on my trunks could cause some me serious pain.
"Get in a little shallower." She says.
We back up until the water is just below the top of my trunks. She lowers herself to stand in front of me, the water lapping at her perky breasts.
She palms my erection, making me gasp.
"These trucks have got to go." She says as she opens the front. My heart pounds in my chest with anticipation. No one has ever touched me before, besides myself.
"Push them down, but hold onto them. We don't want them floating away or sinking." She giggles. "That might be hard to explain to your parents. Hard." She giggles again.
I do as I'm told. I do a quick look over my shoulder at the beach, just to make sure we're alone.
"Hold onto my shoulder. I don't want to float away." She says as I feel her fingers lightly graze the length of my cock, causing me to shiver.
"Are you cold?" She asks looking up through her lashes.
"No." I whisper.
She takes me into her hand, firm, but gentle, she strokes my eager cock. I wish I could see her hands on me. I close my eyes and rest my forehead on hers as she works me, picturing how good she would look touching me.
"Oh, baby. That feels so good." I moan into her skin.
"It feels good to finally touch you. I just wish I could see you." She says as she stops and runs her thumb over the sensitive head.
"Am I doing it right? I mean, I kind of figured you're not circumcised. Am I doing it okay?"
"Better than okay, baby. Good, really good." I gasp out between breaths.
Her soft hand is stroking me from base to tip, giving the head some swirly motion with the pad of her thumb, her other hand on my hip holding me close to her.
"You are so hard Edward and big. I wish I could see you. I want to taste you." She says in a sexy voice.
"Oh, God, Bella. You have no idea how good you make me feel. This is beyond my wildest fantasy."
"Anything for you, baby." She purrs.
"I'm close…oh, so good." I say thrusting my hips into her waiting hand.
My words encourage her and her strokes become faster and stronger. I'm panting, on the edge of ecstasy.
She takes her other hand and cups my balls, gently stroking them, sending me over the top.
"Oh, oh, Bella," I moan gripping her by the waist pulling her to me as I cum in her hand and against her stomach.
"Baby, that was amazing." I say kissing her firmly on the mouth.
"Next time, I want to see what I'm doing to you." She says kissing my heaving chest.
We stay like that for a few minutes while I regain my composure and get my trunks back in place. We walk back to the shore hand in hand.
I don't think I've ever felt happier, more alive. If I was a betting man, I'd bet Bella felt the same way.
"Let's go in the spa before dinner." I say.
"Sure. Maybe I'll see if your parents need some help first."
"After the spa, I'm not done with you yet." I say matter of factly.
We get two beers and head to the spa. It is in a secluded area of the patio, so I pull Bella onto my lap. She seems a little uncomfortable.
"What is it, baby?" I ask rubbing her back.
"I just, I mean. When is everyone else supposed to get here?" She asks looking around the patio.
"Are you worried that someone might see us like this?" I ask with concern.
"Well, no. But I don't want to make you uncomfortable. This is your family, and we are... different."
"Different, how?" I ask.
"We, we are undefined. If they ask questions, I, we, don't have answers. Do we?"
"Bella, we are anything you want us to be. We care about each other. We have a connection like nothing I've ever experienced. I'd do anything for you, but first and foremost we are friends. If my family asks questions I'll follow your lead, whatever you want to say is fine. I trust you."
"I feel the same way about you, Edward. I just don't want to mislead your family. What we have now might change once James is found." She says looking down while playing with our hands under water.
I grab her chin and turn her head towards me. I wait until she raises her eyes to meet mine.
"Bella, we can have what we have now, and more, once James is found. With you around I feel like I'm finally living. My life is full of happiness, laughter and...lo... because of you. I will always want you in my life like this. I'll take as much or as little of you as you'll give me."
She smiles at me and gives me kiss. But her eyes are still wary. She still doesn't trust.
"When we first met you said that you didn't believe in romantic love. Do you still feel that way?" I inquire.
"Hmm." She pauses. "I've witnessed more love and loving relationships right here in this house than I've seen my whole life. Your parents are so loving and supportive with each other. I bet they've never truly disappointed each other. It gives me hope. I am more hopeful now that it is possible, but I'm still unsure. Besides your parents, there are Rose and Emmett and Alice and Jasper. Both of those couples have such a strong love. Even though Alice and Jasper's relationship is new, their devotion to each other radiates from them. So to answer your question, I don't necessarily believe in romantic love for me. I am more hopeful that it's possible, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to put myself out there and find out."
"Fair enough." I nod.
"What about you?" She asks. "You've made yourself unavailable, too. Have you changed your mind on that?"
I need to answer this carefully, because I don't want to freak her out.
"Well, I think you have helped me. I've opened up and made myself available to what we are and could be. I've never even considered doing that before. So yes, I'm no longer unavailable. But I'm very picky about who I'm available to." I answer with a wink.
She sighs puts her head on my shoulder and we sit in silence contemplating what we just said to each other.
"You two look cozy." Someone says, snapping us back to reality.
We both look in the direction of the voice and there are Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Mom and Dad standing there with the biggest all-knowing grins on their faces.
"Ignore them, Bella." I say hugging her closer to me. "They'll go away if we just ignore them."
"No, really, guys. Dinner is almost ready. Get dried off." Alice chirps. As they file back into the house.
"Well, that wasn't so bad." I laugh.
"Yeah, not that bad." Bella says, sarcasm evident in her voice.
I get out and hand her a towel. She gives me a weak thank you and smile. Maybe she's not ready for this. Maybe I shouldn't have brought her here.
I'm anxious as we all sit down for dinner, but it goes well. The conversation flows and Bella and I are not the topic of interest. Bella seems to relax as the evening wears on. She is perfect with my family. She has opinions, but she's not opinionated. She laughs, talks and offers to help. I can't image bringing anyone else here.
"After dinner we're going to Bella's house to spend the night. She needs to get a few things." I mention over dessert.
"Are you sure that's safe, dear?" My mom asks.
"I don't see why not. The place has been closed up for weeks. Plus we will have Seth with us." I say.
We help clean up and say our goodbyes. My family makes sure to hug Bella and tell her how much they enjoy having her here. That's why I love them so much.
It's only about a fifteen minute drive to her house.
"Was tonight okay?" I ask her.
"Yeah, it was great. Your family is wonderful. They care about you very much." She responds.
"I know I'm lucky to have them."
I park the car in her driveway. "Here we are." I say getting out of the car and grabbing our bags.
Seth gets out of his car and walks over to us. "Let me check the perimeter." He says.
The dogs are loose and running around the front yard. "Are you glad to be home, Buddy?" Bella says as she opens the front door, letting the dogs run inside.
"I'll turn on some lights, she says disappearing into the dark house."
"We should wait for Seth." I yell after her.
The light goes on in her bedroom and the dogs are nowhere to be found; they're probably smelling their way around the house.
"Bella? Where's the switch for the light here in the living room?" I ask stumbling in the dark house.
She doesn't answer.
"Bella?" I yell. The dogs start barking like crazy in the direction of her bedroom.
"Bella, you're freaking me out here." I say as I move towards the only light in the house.
"Buddy, Booboo, hush." I say as I freeze in the doorway of her bedroom.
