A/N Ok, this is a warning that this chapter is Lemony!
Chapter Nine. Promise.
Bella's POV
As we came out of the forest and into the yard I started to worry about why I had run off in the first place and how I was going to face everyone. Edward sensing my sudden stress wrapped his arms tighter around me and kissed the top of my head.
"You have nothing to worry about." He said.
As we walked into the backdoor to our house I was forcibly wrenched out of Edwards arms and suddenly found myself in the vice tight grip of Emmett's hug.
"I'm really sorry Bella, I didn't mean to upset you and I'm really, really sorry." He said.
"I'll forgive you if you let me go." I said gasping for breath.
"Let her go before you break anymore of her ribs Emm." Edward said and Emmett released me.
"Why are you both covered in mud?" He asked.
"Bella's hiding place was very muddy and we fell over a few times." Edward explained, with a small shrug. "Wait... you don't do apologies, whats wrong?" He asked suspicious.
"Rose convinced me that I should do it." He said then turned suddenly to me, "that doesn't mean that I didn't mean it, I really am sorry Bella." He said again.
"So what's left to do?" Edward asked.
"Nothing," Jazz said as he walked into the kitchen. "It's all done, we were just waiting for you," he said, glaring at Edward, then grasping my shoulders and looking at my face "Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yes Jazz, don't worry I'm fine." I said.
Alice came in behind Jasper, "see, I told you she would be, didn't I?" She said to Jasper.
"I guess so, come on lets get out of this place." Jazz said and we all made our way out to the cars that were packed out. I walked straight to Edwards Volvo without thinking about it, Alice went straight to Jaspers car and Rose wasn't given a choice, as she was thrown over Emmett's shoulder and carried straight out to his Jeep.
Edward held my hand as he drove, I looked up at him and thought about what I had said yes to, I was seventeen and about to get engaged, what year was this? 2012, more like 1912 and he was my betrothed, I fought back my snort at the thought of it.
When we arrived Esme was in the middle of preparing lunch, Edward carried my box up to my room for me, he closed the door behind him with his foot and put the box down.
"Come here Mrs Cullen." He said, smiling.
"Shush.. don't say that out loud." I said, "I can always change my mind you know." I said, he laughed and pulled me into his arms.
"Not a chance, I'm going to get a ring on your finger the first chance I get," he said lifting me off the floor. "Fancy taking a shower with me?" He asked.
"I wouldn't mind that," I said and his face lit up with excitement. "But... I don't think we'd get away with it just yet, maybe if everyone was out, but not today." I said, he laughed again.
"Disappointing, but you're probably right." He said, then leaned forward to kiss me.
"You can use the shower in my room again, if you like." He said after a few minutes of kissing.
"Why? I'm more than capable of using the one downstairs." I pointed out.
"It will be your bathroom too, soon and I can picture you in there much better than I can in the one downstairs." He said, grinning hugely. I rolled my eyes at him and went to find some clean clothes.
Soon after we were both cleaned up, we went downstairs together, Esme was just putting plates on the table as we entered the kitchen. No one said anything but I saw them all looking at each other when I sat down and took out my pain pills in front of them. So far I had taken them when I was on my own, but I didn't remember that until after I had opened the pot, I chose to ignore their glowers and ate my food, I was pretty hungry despite having a big breakfast.
We had all finished eating before Edward spoke.
"I have something to tell you all..." He started to say, oh no!
I went to get up, he knew I was going to hide somewhere until it was over, so he put his arm around my shoulder to hold me in place. Jasper was watching Edwards every move suspiciously and I cringed and sank deep down in my chair and pulled the hood on my jumper up and over my head to hide my face.
"I know that Bella and I are not quite old enough to do this without parental consent but, I have asked Bella to marry me." He said, the room was silent I could feel the glaring eyes, "and she has said yes, so we will be getting engaged." He explained, I sank deeper into my seat, waiting for the explosion.
"No!" Jasper yelled, making me jump, Edward rubbed my arm.
"Look Jasper, I know she's your sister and you're just looking out for her, but give me one good reason why not." Edward said, I just wanted to curl up and die, this was so embarrassing and I knew that Jazz wouldn't like it.
"If you marry Bella, that will make Alice too closely related and I wont be able to marry her." Jasper said, I looked up shocked and saw everyone staring open mouthed at him, including Alice.
"Well that settles it." Emmett announced.
"Settles what?" Rose asked him.
"The obvious solution is that all six of us have to get married the same day." Emmett said to her, oh my god...
"Well that has to be the worst proposal I ever heard." Alice said.
"I'll say, I hope yours was better than that Belle?" Rose asked.
"Much better thanks." I said honestly now that I could speak, this was so not how I saw this conversation going.
"Leave it to the youngest to out do everyone." Carlisle said, he almost sounded proud.
"So, you don't want to marry me then?" Emm challenged Rose.
"I never said that." Rose said quickly.
"That settles it then." Emmett said pulling Rose out of her seat and into his arms and kissing her in front of everyone.
"Would you do me the honor of being my bride." Jasper asked, picking Alice's hand up and kissing it.
Alice looked like she had just won the lottery, she was grinning from ear to ear. "Hell yeah." She said jumping into his lap and throwing her arms around him.
"Looks like we have an engagement party to plan." Esme said with a shocked look still on her face, oh my... could they really be willing to allow this?
"And I thought I'd been a fast mover, must be hereditary." Carlisle laughed.
"See, I told you, you didn't have anything to worry about didn't I?" Edward said grinning at me. I was still staring at Jasper in shock.
"That doesn't mean you have the right to do anything, you can wait until you are married." Jasper warned Edward.
Edward laughed and said. "I will if you will."
Jasper just frowned at him but didn't answer.
"On that note maybe we ought to get going." Carlisle said and we all got ready to go out to the garage.
Edward and I were the last out, He locked the door then he turned to me and backed me up to the wall, he leaned down to kiss me.
"I'm not looking forward to this." I admitted. "I don't like shopping at the best of times and I don't think its right for your Mom to be spending money on me."
"I think this trip will be better than you think and besides you are practically a Cullen now. We are a very giving family so you are just going to have to get used to that, in fact." He said pulling me into his arms and whispering in my ear, "I can think of something I'd love to give you right now." He said, pressing his erection against me.
"Edward!"
"What?" He said innocently, "that's something else you are going to have to get used to, I'm not sure that I can wait until we're married." He said smirking as I scowled back at him.
We walked over to the Volvo, Emmett and Rose climbed in the back. Jazz and Alice went in the Mercedes with Carlisle and Esme.
Edward and Carlisle raced each other all the way, so were made it to Portland much quicker than I expected.
"We'll meet you back here in an hour." Esme said to the boys and the rest of us went to the first department store, but not before all eight of us stood kissing in the parking garage.
In the department store Alice was in her element, running around finding clothes for Rose and I to try on, she and Rose were having a great time.
"Alice where's your Mom?" I asked realising Esme was not around.
"She'll be looking at wallpaper and stuff like that, I guess," she said. "She's always on the lookout for new ideas."
"Oh, right." I said remembering that she was an interior designer.
Between fittings I was just watching the clock and waiting for the hour to pass, it seemed to be a very slow clock in the changing room, I'd swear it stopped several times. Fortunately Edward came to rescue me after forty minutes.
"Thanks for rescuing me." I said.
"I couldn't take another minute without you." He said pulling my hand and leading me into another shop, where he put a piece of plastic on my finger, I looked up to see we were in a jewellery store and the thing on my finger was a ring sizer.
"Edward I..." I started to complain, but he placed his fingers over my mouth to stop me, he turned my head and spoke into my ear.
"I said I'd get a ring on your finger the first chance I got, didn't I?" He said dropping his hand down to my shoulder. "I always keep my promises."
The jeweller lifted a tray of engagement rings out of the cabinet and placed them on the glass top.
"See anything you like?" Edward asked.
"Lots, but they're platinum..."
"But nothing," he said, "Choose carefully, you are going to be wearing it for the next seventy or eighty years." He said, I ducked my head and leaned into him.
One ring really spoke to me, it was stunningly beautiful, I pulled it from the tray and Edward took it from me and placed it on my finger.
"That's the one I would have chosen for you," he said smiling down at me, he looked so happy I couldn't help but smile back. The ring fit perfectly and as I pulled it back off I tried to see the tiny label, but Edward took it from me. "Is that 'The one' then?" He asked.
"Definitely, yes, that is 'the one ring.'" I said, grinning back at him.
"Go pick out some more jewellery you like whilst I pay for this." He said, I was about to object but he turned me around and pushed me towards the opposite counter, slapping my butt as I went.
I sighed and went to wait for him by the other counter, he was back by my side a few minutes later. "see anything you like?" He asked.
"Nope." I admitted.
"That's because you didn't look." He said turning me around again to look in the cabinet of necklaces.
"Edward I don't need anything." I objected.
He found a simple but elegant white gold chain that was similar to his own and bought it anyway. I sulked, "why are you sulking?" He asked.
"Who is paying for all of this?" I asked without answering.
"I am, I used my savings," he admitted.
"What? Edward you can't, that is so unfair." I complained.
"Why?" He asked shocked.
"Edward... your savings, really?"
"Yes, Bella its the first time in my life that I have ever wanted to spend it, the first time I've had something worth while that I wanted, basically this is what I was saving for."
"Its still not right that you should spend money on me and I have nothing to give back to you." I said lowering my head in shame.
He pulled me to him in the middle of the sidewalk. "Bella..." he said exasperated. "You have given me the one thing that no one else in the world could give me," he said, I frowned. "You!" He said, I rolled my eyes at him and tried to pull away. "Listen," he said and he pulled me to a bench and we both sat. "You are the most important person in the world, the absolute best thing in my life and basically you mean everything to me." He said holding my face in his hands, "I hardly think a bit of metal and rocks is anything compared to that," he said. "But it is just a small token of the love I feel for you," he said and he kissed me.
Which was good as I was a little dizzy from his words to have spoken just then and far from being embarrassed about kissing in front of people, I kissed him back, deeply.
"Come on you two before you get arrested." Esme said.
We followed the others down the street, I couldn't help but smile, Edward looked so happy, and my hand felt warm with his hand wrapped around it.
I never said anything but I overheard a conversation between Carlisle and Jasper, as we walked.
"So Jasper, do you promise to be loyal and love and cherish my baby girl?" Carlisle asked.
"With every fibre of my being Sir, I promise." Jasper replied.
"Then, please take this," he said handing Jasper an envelope. "Go get my little girl a nice engagement ring." Jazz just stared at him open mouthed, much like I was.
"But..." Was all Jazz could say.
"Look Jasper, if we had known about you all we would have taken you in five months ago, when you first arrived, so I make that five months rent that I owe you for starters." Carlisle said.
"But.." Jazz repeated.
Carlisle shook his head, "you taking care of my baby girl will be repayment enough." Carlisle assured him, then when no one was looking Jasper actually hugged Carlisle, I felt a warm glow wash over me when I saw that.
"You have my word." Jasper promised.
We were dragged through more women's wear but it wasn't so bad with Edward there, he gave his opinion on every outfit I tried. Alice must have been exhausted running between Rose, myself and Jasper, with different outfits. I was relieved when it was time to leave and I practically fell into the Volvo when Edward opened the door for me.
"So how long before this wedding?" Emmett asked.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"How long have I got left before I'm not a single guy anymore?" He asked and Rose punched his arm. "Okay let me put it another way, how long will Jasper be expecting me to stay out of his sister's..." Rose punched him harder. "What? I was just going to say bed." He said grinning.
"Well Alice and I will be eighteen in two months, but without Jasper giving consent we will have to wait for Bella's eighteenth which isn't for nine months." Edward said, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove.
"If Jasper thinks I am waiting for nine months he is more crazy than I ever gave him credit for." Emmett said, Rose punched him again.
"Ouch! If you do that one more time I'm gonna have to put you over my knee." Emmett told her.
"I'm sure we can convince Jazz to give consent before then." Edward said ignoring them.
"How's that?" Emmett asked.
"Come off it Emm, Alice is a Cullen... do you really think she will wait nine months before she..."
"Edward!" I shouted.
"You really think she will wait?" Edward asked.
Rose giggled.
"What?" Emmett asked her.
"If we hadn't interrupted them last night and this morning, she wouldn't have to wait." Rose said.
"What?" The rest of us said together.
"Last night they were in the shower together and after when we disturbed them and this morning while we were waiting for you two, what do you think they were up to?"
"That dirty little vamp..." Emmett said.
"Thanks Rosalie, lets see him try and stop me now." Edward said smiling hugely.
"Hey, watch what you're saying pal that's still my baby sister you're talking about you know." She warned him.
"Like I said before, I'll wait if you do." He said to her, she didn't have any comeback.
"Um... hello, I am still in the car, I can hear you you know." I reminded him.
"Oh I know, so you have been forewarned too." He said grinning at me.
"Personally I'm good with the whole nine months thing." I said. "It's not that long to wait for something you have allegedly never had." I said.
"No way, woman you will be lucky if I get through another night," he said, "and what do you mean by allegedly?" Edward asked.
"I only have your word for it." I said. He was about to argue but then Rose said.
"After spending the night in the same bed I'm surprised you haven't already." Rose said.
"What?" Emmett yelled.
"That's why your dad said he wouldn't let things go so far whilst he was glaring at Edward, this morning. Because Edward slept in Bella's bed all night, her new teddy bear." Rose told Emmett. Damn I thought, I forgot all about that, I forgot to buy a teddy.
"No way! You dirty little... wait you mean to say you didn't? You had all night and you didn't..? What's wrong Eddy, little-ward not up for it?" Emmett chided.
"Emmett!" Edward growled and I screeched.
"Oh he was more than up for it when he ran passed me." Rose said giggling.
"Rose!" I yelled at her horrified, Edward stared out of the window blushing.
"What? You mean your saw his..." Emmett started to say, he sounded horrified.
"No! It was covered up, but obviously too big to miss." Rose teased.
"Humph, you ain't seen nothing yet baby, I don't call him little-ward for nothing." Emmett said chuckling and pulled Rose on top of him.
Edward rolled his eyes as Emmett and Rose started making out. A short while later Edward pulled into a gas station, he filled the car and went to pay for it, when he came out he handed me a blue chenille teddy bear, he grinned at me, then I saw the badge on the front of it, it said 'Edward.'
"Whichever way you look at it, you will be sleeping with me from now on." He said.
"Thank you." I said, then I kissed the teddy and hugged it.
"Are you trying to make me jealous?" He asked, I didn't answer I just tried futilely to hide my grin.
~F~
Once home I decided to be good and went to my room to do my homework, Edward joined me and we lay on my bedroom floor next to each other. Obviously I had more work to do than him as he was excused so much because of football, most unfair I thought. He finished well before I did, so he began to play with my hair, innocent enough and relatively easy to ignore, but then he started kissing my neck and that was next to impossible to ignore.
"Edward, please, I need to get this finished." I said.
"I'm not stopping you," he said pulling the neck of my top down so that he could kiss along my shoulder, his other hand up my top undoing my bra.
"Edward, stop it." I said. He huffed got up and walked out of the room, I stared at the door shocked by his sudden exit, he was back moments later and I recognised the jewellers bag and rolled my eyes as I turned back to my work. He lay down next to me and pulled my left hand towards him, he slipped my new ring onto my finger.
"This ring gives me the right to kiss you any time I want." He said and he rolled over onto his back pulling me on top of him, "and I want to kiss you now." He said rolling us both until he was lying on top of me and boy did he kiss me.
Time and place had ceased to exist so I was surprised to be brought back to reality when Esme called everyone's name to come and get food.
I noticed as I ate that both Alice and Rose wiggling their fingers to make their new diamonds sparkle under the lights. The three of us just grinned at each other when I did the same. The most prominent thought in my head was,'one ring to bring them all and in the darkness, bind them.' Which made me grin even bigger, I noted just how much grinning and smiling I had done lately, all of it since I had properly met Edward. It was most unlike me to smile so much and it really did make my face hurt.
"So any idea's or plans yet?" Esme asked.
"Yes." Alice said excitedly. "I was thinking next weekend for the engagement party, but we'll call it a graduation party for Emm, Jazz and Rose, that way no one has to know our dirty little secret.
"But its not a dirty little secret." Edward objected.
"It sounds more exciting though, don't you think? Alice's enthusiasm knew no bounds. "As for the wedding, I think the week after our eighteenth, that way we can combine that with our bachelor and bachelorette party." She said. I looked around at all of their faces, they all seemed happy with the arrangement, I wasn't I would still be seventeen and not allowed to get married without parental consent. Slowly one by one they noticed my glum expression, but it was Jasper who spoke first.
"Bella?" He said, I kept my head down, I couldn't speak, I felt sick, if they didn't realise and went ahead, I couldn't marry Edward, surely Edward of all people would realize this and put a stop to this plan. "Bella?" Jasper said again, Edward put his hand under my chin and lifted my face so that he could look in my eyes. I pulled away I was starting to feel angry and I could feel the tears filling my eyes, I got out of my chair and ran from the kitchen, why had I believed this could happen to me? This was too much I'd used up all my luck, so now everything was going to start going wrong again, back to life as I had always known it.
I felt Edward follow me, but I heard Jasper stop him, I could hear someone behind me on the stairs as I raced to get into my room, but as I was shutting my door a foot stopped it, so I had no choice but to let him in. Jasper put his hands on my shoulders and push me to the bed and sat me on it, he sat next to me.
"Belle, do you love Edward?" He asked me. I nodded, "enough to marry him?" I nodded again. "How much?" He asked, I sighed.
"With all of my heart, Jazz, he is my... my everything." I admitted.
"Then as your legal guardian I will give you permission to get married." Jasper said.
I gasped, "You will?" I asked finally looking at him.
"If that is what you really want?" He said smiling down at me.
I threw my arms around him and kissed his cheek, "yes! Thank you, Jazz." I said.
"Just promise me one thing?" He asked.
I held my breath and tensed up ready for impact, would he really ask me to wait until after I'm married before I sleep with Edward? I bit my lower lip and waited, because to be perfectly honest I wasn't sure if I wanted to wait or not.
"Just promise me that you wont do anything... not unless you are ready to, just don't let him talk you into anything you are not ready to do, okay?"
I fought against my smile and my relief, "I promise." I said.
"Good, I know there is no point in telling you both to wait," he said and I couldn't help but giggle when I remembered what Rose had said, about him and Alice.
"Are you happy Jazz?" I asked.
"More than I thought was possible," he said.
"You really love her, don't you?" I said.
"With all of my heart," he admitted.
"Then, can you just promise me one thing?" I asked him, I failed miserably to hide my smile. "Just promise me that you wont let Alice talk you into anything..." I didn't finish, Jasper pushed me over and smothered my head with my pillow.
"Can we come in?" Alice called from the door.
"No! I'm trying to kill my sister." Jasper said.
"Hey, hands off my fiancée." Edward said and the pillow disappeared.
"Okay... Bells, what on earth did you say to him?" Alice asked.
"I told him to promise not to let you..." I started to say and Jasper covered my mouth with his hand, I couldn't continue anyway I was laughing so much.
Then I felt a sharp pain in my ribs and I gasped, everyone froze.
"I'm fine." I said, getting up and seeing the worry on all their faces.
"Promise me you'll protect her from anything like this happening again." Jasper said to Edward, pointing to me clutching my ribs.
"I will never let anyone hurt her again," he answered.
"Then you have my permission to marry my sister and I will give written consent for the wedding to go ahead in two months." Jasper said.
"Thanks Jazz, I will take good care of her." Edward promised.
"I know." Jazz said.
I left them there and went down to the kitchen to get my pain pills.
"Is everything alright dear?" Esme asked.
"Yes, thank you Esme." I said and I saw her look at my tablets.
"I bought this for you," she said getting something from her bag and handing it to me. "It's Arnica, its a homoeopathic cream for bruises, it will have those bruises out and gone in hours rather than days." She explained.
"Thank you Esme," I said, "for everything, the clothes are wonderful." I said and I hugged her.
"Well you are very welcome dear, it was my pleasure and thank you," she said.
"For what?" I asked surprised.
"For making my son so happy," she said.
"Well that is definitely my pleasure." I said and we both laughed. "I'm off to finish my homework and then I'm off to bed, so goodnight." I said, poring myself a glass of water.
"Goodnight sweetheart." She said, I went back upstairs with a drink and my tablets.
Jasper and Alice had gone but Edward was still sat on my bed, he looked at the drink and tablets as I put them on my night stand, he frowned at them.
"Will you please stop doing that." I said.
"What? He asked.
"Feeling guilty or whatever it is, it just makes me more ashamed and try and hide it more." I said.
"You shouldn't be hiding anything from me," he said.
"Stop pulling faces like that and I wont have too." I said.
"Deal."
"Good... Now, are you going to let me finish my homework and do some studying? We still have two exams left to study for." I said.
"I know, I guess I can study for a while, if you kiss me first." He said.
I did as he asked, but once his hands started to wonder I made him go and get this books, he sulked a little but he went and did as I asked. Once my homework was done I went to Edwards bathroom and got ready for bed, when I came out Edward was sat on the end of his bed wearing just pyjama bottoms again. The mouth watering ones that hung low on his hips, the ones that showed off his sculpted muscles.
"You know that promise you made this morning?" He said.
Realising what he meant I gasped, "You can't be serious." I said.
"Deadly," he said smirking at me.
"But..." I tried to say.
"Don't your promises mean anything?" He asked in faux horror.
"Yes, but... I didn't realise there was a time limit on it." I said.
"Oh, yeah," he said, "you only have until curfew to do it."
My jaw dropped open, until eleven? I snapped my mouth closed and looked at the clock, it was already ten thirty.
"I'll give you the necklace now, if you do it," he said hopefully, still smirking, he was enjoying watching me, I was just plain panicking.
"That would be the necklace that you wanted me to have." I pointed out. "Your bribery wont work on me." I informed him.
"Then what will?" He asked leaning back and resting his weight on his muscular arms, showing off every ripple, his perfect pecks and his amazing abs and my mouth began to water at the sight of him.
"Just that." I said and I fell to my knees at his feet.
"What?" He asked.
"You." I said looking up at him sheepishly.
I moved his legs so that I was knelt down on the floor between his legs, I thought about the first time I had seen him. How I had tripped up and fallen into his lap and how embarrassed I had been, almost as embarrassed as I was now actually, I could feel the heat coming from my cheeks. I looked up at him sheepishly, biting my lip as I eased his pyjamas down over his ass. I assumed his smile was supposed to be reassuring or encouraging, but I was much to nervous to take it in properly. How I had imagined doing this time and time again over the last five months and here I was about to do it, I was scared, I had no idea what to do and I was going to depend on my iffy instincts and hope for the best? Did I really want to do this? I wasn't overly sure, but I didn't seem to want to stop, I guessed that it was too much to ask that he wouldn't notice how much I was shaking. He put his finger under my chin to pull my face up gently.
"You don't have to do this you know."
"I know." I said automatically but I never met his eyes.
"Bella, look at me," he insisted, I did, reluctantly. "You don't have to do this."
"I know." I said again, but as I said it I slid my fingers along his erection.
He groaned, his arms buckled and he fell back onto the bed, his reaction made me feel a little more confident, but not a lot.
Oh here goes nothing I thought, as I leant forward and gently licked around the head, with the tip of my tongue. I gently ran my fingers along the shaft, making him groan again, then slowly I took him into my mouth. I had no idea that they were so big but I had no experience to what was normal size. I had to use my hand too as I couldn't fit all of him into my mouth and I did not want to make myself gag and end up vomiting over him. I was pleasantly surprised by the feel of him, how soft the skin was and yet how hard he was. He began to sit back up to watch me, I don't know how I did what I was doing but to do it and keep eye contact with him the entire time was well beyond the bravest thing I'd ever accomplished. I watched for signs of him being uncomfortable but he nodded and smiled reassuringly, occasionally he spluttered out a word or two.
"Fuck! Bella... that's so... fucking, good."
After what seemed like an extremely long time, but probably wasn't long at all he grasped my shoulder and stared deep into my eyes seeming to be trying to tell me something. Then his face changed and he groaned "Bella..." I felt his penis pulsating then I got a surprise I hadn't exactly bargained on. What was I to do? It wasn't exactly a pleasant taste but then neither was caviare in my opinion. There were no tissues in sight, I needed to get rid of what was in my mouth, so do I run to the bathroom and spit it out? Prolong the experience? Or just swallow and get it over with?
Edward was watching the different emotions cross my face.
"Are you okay?" He whispered. I nodded and swallowed without thinking.
Realising what I had just done, he bit on his bottom lip, nervously, something I had never thought I would see and he reached behind him for the coke bottle on his bedside table and handed it to me.
"Sorry." He said sheepishly.
I took the bottle and drank, there was no way that I could speak to him and if I could what was I going to say?
He pulled his pyjamas pants back up, took the bottle from me and put it on the floor, then he helped me to my feet. He picked me up and carried me onto his bed, he lay me down and lay down next to me, he didn't speak. He pulled my chin up gently and looked into my eyes, then very slowly and softly he pressed his lips to mine, watching for my reaction, I didn't react, I didn't speak I was still shocked at what I had just done. He kissed me again deeper and longer, I closed my eyes and threw myself into the kiss, he pulled me against himself and put more passion into his kiss, his tongue played with my lips, begging for entry, they parted gladly and our tongues danced together, it was a very slow and erotic dance. My tensed body was beginning to relax and slowly I became weak in his arms. I felt his hand stroke down the side of my body, down over my hip, down my thigh to my calf, he grasped my leg and hitched it up over his hip, then he rolled us both so that I was lying on top of him, but he never broke the kiss.
Then both of our phones vibrated on the nightstand, indicating that it was five to eleven, we both sighed and opened our eyes. I gave him one more lingering kiss on the lips, then climbed off him and off the bed. It was just before curfew and we both knew that Carlisle or Esme would be up here soon to check that we were in our own rooms.
"Oh Bella," he said as I turned away from him.
"Yes." I said turning back eagerly.
"That was fuckin awesome, thank you."
I felt my face heat up again, "You're welcome." I said grinning and I walked back to my room.
From my bed I could see the end of Edwards bed across the hall through the open doors.
"Back in your own rooms please guys, its eleven o'clock." Carlisle's voice rang up the stairs.
I lay in my bed hugging my teddy bear, but then Edward moved to the end of his bed where he could see me, I recognised the hungry look in his eyes. I bit on my bottom lip as he got off his bed and walked silently across the hall, he stood in the doorway looking at me with puppy dog eyes, I shook my head and hid my face behind the bear. I felt the covers move as he climbed in the bed next to me, he pulled the teddy out of my hands and pushed it under my pillow.
He pulled me close. "This would be so much easier in my bed." He said, well obviously he had a double bed and mine was only a single, he pulled my face to his and moaned as he crushed his lips to mine.
"Emmett, Jasper, Edward, I said back in your own rooms... Now! Your mother says she's not ready to be a grandparent yet." Carlisle's voice rang up the stairs.
I could hear shuffling around down stairs, as Emmett and Jasper went back to their own rooms.
~F~
"Edward... I think we should stop." I whispered, but I never released my tight grip on him as I held him tight against me, my legs locked tight around his hips.
"You could sound a little more convincing," he whispered back into my neck.
"I'm serious." I said but I whimpered as he rubbed his hips to mine.
"I don't want to stop."
"Still... think... we should..." I said in gasps.
"I will stop if you really want me to stop," he murmured as he kissed along my jaw.
"That's just it, I don't want to, that's the problem." I admitted, my voice low and breathy.
"Then we shouldn't stop," he whispered against my lips, and he was rubbing his hips to mine again. "I want you so badly right now, there is nothing I wouldn't give to have you naked right now." He said and he pulled my top up.
"Edward." I said and he could see the tension in my face.
"What's wrong?"
"Well apart from the fact that your father could burst through that door any second. I'm... I'm scared... it's not like I've done this before and I'm scared... it's going to hurt and I'm afraid of what I will feel for you... if you hurt me." I said trying to hide my face.
"I've never done it before either, Bella and I'm scared of hurting you too... and yeah I'd thought of that, you hating me if I hurt you, that scares me too. If you feel that you are not ready Bella then I can wait until you are." He said holding my face between his hands, not an easy thing to do as he was holding himself off me with his elbows so that none of his weight was on my ribs. I looked at the total honesty in his eyes. "I mean it Bella, I love you and I would like nothing more than to make love to you right now, but... I will not do anything that you are unsure or un-ready for." He assured me.
"Okay." I said and I reached down to his pyjamas and pushed them down over his hips, I watched his eyes widen.
"What are you doing?" He asked, but his breathing sped.
"I've decided that I am still undecided and I really don't want to think about stopping until I've seen you naked." I said grinning as I used my legs to push his pyjama bottoms down.
"If that's the case, you have to be naked too." He said, pulling my vest top up, I helped.
He kicked off his pyjamas and pulled mine down, he knelt over me looking at me naked, his mouth slightly open. I grabbed a pillow to cover my face, but he stopped me.
"Don't you dare," he said, pulling the pillow from me. "Wow... just... wow," he said, "I always knew that you were beautiful... but... wow, not even in my imagination had I dreamt that you were... well... beyond words."
"Oh shut up!" I said trying to turn over.
"Don't you dare, I could just sit and marvel at you all night long." He said.
"I think something would disagree." I said eyeing the erect weapon he was wielding.
"See, that's the effect you have on me," he said, "just the sight of you makes me hard."
I giggled and it made my chest wobble, which in turn made him moan, longingly. The expression on his face was like a kid looking into the window of a candy store.
"I want you so badly right now, I'm literally in pain here," he informed me. So I took hold of his hand and pulled him down on top of me. "Tell me... if you think I'm going too far... or if I hurt you at all." He said and I nodded. "You only have to say stop and I will."
I pulled his face to mine, I needed his lips on mine, then I wrapped my legs around him, pulling him tight against me. Our hands investigating each others bodies, as the minutes ticked by and the passion intensified we took the next step. Edward kiss, licked and investigated just about every part of my body but when he rubbed his erection into me it lit a fire between my legs and I began to ache for more friction, I felt his hand slide down my stomach and he paused at my pelvic bone, looking at my face.
"Please Edward." I begged almost bucking my hips towards his hand, needing to feel that connection.
I groaned as I felt his fingers slide into the wetness between my legs, pulling him closer, needing to feel more of him. His finger made circular movements around my clit and I almost rose off the bed, I bit into his shoulder to keep from moaning to loudly, then as he slid his finger inside of me and began moving I was completely undone.
"Oh god... Edward I.. I need to feel you... Now". I gasped.
He withdrew his fingers and reached for a condom packet he'd put on the bedside table, opening it and rolling it on himself, man... he looked so hot doing that. He shifted his weight on top of me so that I could feel him hot against my wetness, rubbing into me, as he slowly began to slide inside of me he watched for my reactions, I pulled him close with my arms and push back against him with my hips, I was hard pressed not to make any noise and alert any one to what we were doing, he pushed deep inside of me with a strong thrust, my nails dug deep into his back, despite the pain, I didn't stop him.
~F~
I lay still, my body still entwined with Edwards, I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw were his beautiful green eyes staring into mine, he leant forward and pressed his lips to mine.
"Good morning beautiful," he whispered.
Both our eyes widened as we heard someone in the hall, we stared at each other, what should we do? Hide? Run? He shut is eyes in faux sleep and I quickly did the same.
We heard Carlisle's quiet chuckle as he pulled the door closed saying "That's my boy."
Edward and I instantly started laughing in whispers and the movement did strange things to our still entwined bodies. He pulled my lips to his with a passion that could have set the bed on fire... I wouldn't have noticed.
