Chapter 2 Vampire

My response was immediate. She had no idea how she had gotten upstairs when I abruptly stopped with her just inside the door to the only guest room that was furnished. I crossed the room and laid her in the middle of the king sized sleigh bed. As I snuggled her to me, I said, "and this is the guest room. It's the only other room upstairs that is furnished, though there are 4 bedrooms. Since you have chosen to be so forward as to grab me, Mrs. Cullen, this will be the end of our tour!"

"Mr. Cullen, I have had you in hand like this every night for the last few weeks, since we came home from the hospital! What is different about it now?"

"I think, Bella, that this is part of what you overheard Rose and Alice talking about. The part about hurting me, and me being a masochist?" I was hesitant to bring it up, but she needed an explanation of what she had heard.

She looked at me so startled, "Explain Edward, please, I don't understand!"

"Sweetheart, you needed reassurance that I was with you, really with you when we came home from the hospital. Your hand on me, there, comforted you, it let you be secure enough to sleep, Bella. It let you feel close to me and know that I would give you anything even something as intimate as that. You said it yourself, before I would not even leave two buttons of my shirt unfastened around you. What my sister Alice was talking about, was something you were completely unaware of. You had no intention of hurting me or causing me to be uncomfortable."

"Edward, please," she said stroking my face and holding me close, "how did I hurt you?"

"You didn't exactly hurt me, baby, not like you think. It's just that, being aroused like this, like I am right now, is impossible to manage without doing something about it, without finding release, Bella, even at my own hand. That was impossible to do with you holding on to me for hours - an amazingly good feeling but my body becoming impossibly hard to the point of being painful - we couldn't make love then, sweetheart, you needed to heal first."

"Oh my God! Edward, I'm so embarrassed, and so very sorry! I didn't know, sweetheart, I had no idea. I've never been around men, I mean I've never . . . "

She was turning a shade of red that couldn't possibly be healthy.

"I just wanted you to know to answer your questions about what you overheard them saying, Bella. I could have spoken up at any time if I had wanted to. I love your hand on me, I love my hands on you. I don't want there to be anything we can't do with each other."

"I want that, too, sweetheart."

"Good," I said as I all but destroyed her blouse and yoga pants in my haste to get them off of her, though taking care not to damage the cast that remained on her leg.

"That is so unfair, Mr. Cullen. Your clothes, off!"

"Your wish is my command, wife", I said as my clothes were gone in an instant.

We had laid with each other naked before, she had insisted we sleep naked a few times while she was recuperating, but never when we could do something about it. She had a playful look on her face that instantly gave me cause for concern. She threw her arms around my neck and rolled us over and over from the top of the bed to the bottom, laughing and kissing me, my arms holding her tightly to me.

"Well, we can do something about it now, can't we!"

Her hand left my neck and trailed down my chest and across my stomach causing a small shutter to run through my body.

"I have no idea what you would like, sweetheart, or what would hurt you, can you show me?"

God I loved this woman! I wrapped my hand over hers and very carefully, taking care not to hurt her hand, moved both our hands up and down my length. I could not stifle the moan that left my lips. I moved my hand to her waist as she continued. She trailed soft kisses across my chest and down my stomach. She licked her lips. Dear God the woman licked her lips! Without any further warning, she took me into her mouth. I had no idea she would do that!

"Bella, b . . baby", I tried to speak, "you . . d.d..don't . n . need . . t . to . d . d . do . this . . ."

I stuttered, overwhelmed with the pleasure she was giving me. I made a lame attempt to wriggle away from her, but her arms held my hips and she was intent on devouring as much of me as possible - and she was nearly succeeding. Who was I kidding - I loved it. She was amazing! I grabbed for the headboard, afraid to put my hands on her head like I wanted to. I pulled myself up slightly, but she just crawled up me further. My unnecessary breaths became ragged. I resisted the temptation to thrash about, the intensity of pleasure was overwhelming. I could no longer stop myself from rocking my hips. The sensations were unbelievable. How did she know to do what she was doing . .. oh my . . . "Bella!", I roared,

"Bella . . . don't stop . . .oh . . but . . can't . . . ahh . . . Bella! "

pulling myself up towards the headboard, trying to remove myself from her before it was too late. She would have none of that. She crawled up the bed following me, never releasing me. I came absolutely unglued, splintering the headboard with my grip and turning it into kindling wood. She took no notice of the destruction I was causing,

"Oh . . . my Bella . . . you have to . . . Bella you can't . . . no . . ."

I could not hold back my release any longer. I though my toes would curl up into the back of my throat. She released me and I was instantly hard again against her cheek. She looked up at me with the most surprised look, her eyes questioning.

"Vampire"

I said by way of answering, "Just ignore it," I told her apologetically. She crawled further up my body to kiss me, the taste of me still on her lips. This woman would be the death of me. I was on top of he in an instant, nestled between her legs, my weight held off of her by my elbows. I still refused to put much weight on her ribs - so many of them had been broken and it had not been long enough for the to be fully healed.

"You really can have me as often as you want", I told her while I stroked her cheek with the back of my hand.

"You're serious, Edward. You recover immediately?"

"Um, just like that. Just like you just saw love . . . and I ALWAYS want you!", I told her as I traced kisses from the edge of her lip down her neck.

"I haven't discussed it with you because, well for one thing you were still recovering, and two, I didn't want you to think it had to be that way, that I was weird or something or that once was not enough for me at a time. Bella . . . my body requires no down time in between, I don't need to breath, I never get tired, I have no need of bathroom breaks and I don't get thirsty but every couple of weeks, so, yes - we can make love as often and for as long as you want . . . and we will!"

"Edward! You're serious!"

"Sweetheart, vampires can and do, quite literally, make love for DAYS at a time!

Allow me to demonstrate . . . "

I kissed her cheek and just the very edge of her lips and then just the top lip . . . and just the bottom lip, pulling it into my mouth to carefully nibble on it. She tasted of me, and I was lying fully on top of my wife, in our home, and nothing could be better than this. I traced the backs of my fingers down her side, down her trim waist to her full hips, turning my hand over to cup her backside and pull her impossibly closer to me.

She cocked her head at me and closed her eyes, her hips rocking into me now of their own accord. Her hands pulled at my hair and she moaned almost constantly. She screamed my name so loud I was uncertain if the family would be there in an instant to check and see whether I was killing her or not. I looked up to see her eyes staring at me. There was nothing on this earth more beautiful, and she was mine. A light sheen of sweat covered her face and her hair was damp from it. Her eyes were hooded in bliss and my name lingered on he lips. I put my arms around her and hugged her to me, kissing her lips and nuzzling my face into her neck to give her a moment.

Her breathing slowed and she began to stroke my shoulders and back as I lay with my head on her shoulder, my body covering hers. She ran her fingers through my hair and brought her foot up to gently rub the backs of my thighs. I tried to be patient, but my body burned for her. My breathing started to grow ragged as I noticed hers increasing as I kissed her passionately, hoping her lips would not be bruised but finding it difficult to care. My Bella wanted me and she wanted me now.

I settled against her, rocking my hips into her all the while kissing her hard. I only hoped she would tell me if I was too heavy for her or I started to hurt her in any way. The way she was moaning and writhing under me, rocking her body into mine, I certainty didn't think she was feeling any discomfort. She screamed my name and bit my neck.

She Bit My Neck.

Any control I was maintaining was once again out the window. I cried out her name and snarled. Her gaze met mine and we starred into each others eyes, unable to look away. My arms snaked under her shoulders and held to her as hers clutched at my neck and shoulders, all the while pushing into each other as hard as she could and as hard as I dared.

I told her I loved her more than anything else in the world, all the while never breaking our gaze at each other. I stilled and relaxed onto her. As we rolled to our sides and I once again became impossible hard, our eyes met. All I could say was

vampire.

She laughed at me, such a gorgeous laugh, a laugh that could make the mountains smile as if the sun were shining on them. I moved a strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"See, I told you I wasn't kidding. Maybe I should have come with an instruction manual so that you could see what you were getting yourself into, Mrs. Cullen."

"If I knew you were this easy, Mr. Cullen, I would have tried even harder to get us past that first time years ago!"

"So is that a yes?"

"Definitely a yes, Mr. Cullen!", she said as she rolled on top of me and breathed me in.
