Chapter Twenty Three. Knocking down walls.
Bella's POV
"Edward Please." I begged, as his teeth and tongue teased my clit.
"Shush, you're not quite ready yet." He whispered, his breath blowing over my heated flesh.
He sucked my clit into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue, then deliciously slowly he slid one finger inside me and then another. I writhed underneath him as once again he bought me close to orgasm then denied me by pulling back.
"Urgh! Edward Pleeeease!" I almost sobbed. His fingers curled and he sucked harder and I was right there, balancing on the edge of ecstasy. "Oh god, don't stop, please don't st-stop." I begged, then I fell. My body vibrating and thighs clenched tight over his ears and my ass lifting from the bed as Edward literally sucked the pleasure out of me.
My body fell back onto the bed and I lay panting as Edward kissed, nibbled and licked his way slowly back up my body. He reached over to the nightstand and took out a condom foil, quickly opening it and putting it on. He hovered over me with his hands either side of my head.
"Are you sure you're ready for this Bella?" He asked, a frown marring his beautiful face.
"After the warm up you just gave me I'm ready for whatever you can give me." I assured him, still breathless.
He smirked and slowly began to ease inside of me, he struggled to keep his eyes open, his mouth opened and the pure pleasure on his face was so damn hot I almost combusted at the sight of him. Feeling him inside of me after so long was pure ecstasy, almost too much.
"So good, fuuuuck..." He mumbled closing his eyes tight before he leaned down to kiss me.
We took our own sweet time, relishing in the slow pleasure of our deep connection, but needing more, I wrapped my arms and legs tighter around him. Needing to consume him the way that he was consuming me, with such intensity that he was literally rocking my world. His thrusts became deeper, harder and the headboard was banging against the wall. I didn't care, my body was climbing, humming like a tuning fork as his thrusts got more intense still. He rolled his hips as he hammered me into the mattress, the bed slamming hard against the wall with each thrust.
"Oh, oh gooooooood." I moaned loudly as my body splintered into a thousand pieces.
"Bella." Edward moaned into my neck, finding his release.
We lay holding each other panting as our bodies continued to quiver.
~F~
I woke suddenly when I felt movement. "Sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you." Edward said as he untangled his legs from mine.
"What time is it?" I asked groggily.
"Almost feeding time." He said sheepishly. "I guess we earned some rest." He said and bit into his bottom lip.
"Well you certainly wore me out." I said smiling at the sight of his blush.
"I don't even remember going to sleep, I must have passed out instantly." He said.
"Earth shattering sex will do that to you." I said with a nonchalant shrug of my shoulders.
"Earth shattering huh? Well I guess that's one way to describe it." He said, a smug grin spreading across his face.
"Why how would you describe it?" I asked, I was pretty sure he got as much out of it as I had.
"No, earth shattering is pretty much how it felt for me, though mind blowing, fuck awesome, best sex ever, also comes to mind." He said smirking, I nodded in agreement making him laugh. He pulled me back against him and kissed me for a few moments then rested his forehead to mine. He sighed, "Duty calls, we better get up before Alex starts to scream the place down for you."
"Okay, but you better rest up, I want more of that mind blowing, fuck awesome best sex ever, later." I said kissing him chastely, before getting out of bed and going to get cleaned up.
~F~
On entering the kitchen I found the house was empty and there was a note on the table. I just started to read it when Edward came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.
Seriously you two, what the hell were you up to? No, on second thoughts I don't want to know, could you make any more noise? You were frightening the kids and the whole house was shaking! So we had to leave, think there's someone coming to inspect the house to make sure you haven't done any damage to the structure of the building.'
Back soon Emm.
"Someone's jealous." Edward chuckled as he kissed my neck, "guess we could have been a bit quieter, maybe next time I'll put the comforter over the headboard to cushion the blow." He said still chuckling as the backdoor opened and everyone walked in. I felt my face heat up even before anyone spoke, Emm walked in with his hands over his ears.
"You two..." Rose said shaking her head, but she was fighting back her smile.
"What?" I asked innocently, but my blush flamed up again.
"What? She asks, I'll tell you what..." Emm said, looking menacingly at us. "If it wasn't for all the moaning and screaming, I'd have thought you were knocking down walls. But honestly, you were banging so hard it was knocking paint and plaster off the walls and ceiling." Emm complained.
"Like I said... he's jealous." Edward whispered in my ear, making me giggle.
"Its not funny, I don't think I can look either of you in the eye again after that, that... whatever it was." Emm said grimacing.
"On that note, someone wants her Mommy." Mom said walking passed Emmett and passing Alex over to me.
"Thanks Mom." I said relieved and turned in Edwards arms to leave the room.
"You can't leave me to face this lot alone." Edward said pouting.
"I wasn't the one doing all the banging." I pointed out, watching him fight back a smile.
"TMI." Mom said.
"It was you doing most of the screaming." Rose said smirking at me.
"What do you expect I was being hammered into the wall at the time." I said, raising my eyebrows at her, Edward pulled me back against his chest and chuckled into my hair.
"And I'm done, please allow the grandparents to leave before anyone else says a word." Mom begged taking Izzy from Alice and rushing out of the kitchen.
"So can we finally get to sort out all the plans that need finalizing?" Ali asked, as Edward opened a pot of mac cheese for Alex, as I sat her in her seat.
"Sorry Alice, I need to feed Alex once she's finished her lunch." I said hoping to make a quick getaway.
"There is always some excuse, you can do that in the living room with us all there, you've done it before." She said.
"No, that's to distracting, hearing Alex gulping down her lunch, I can't think straight." Emmett complained.
"It's not like you will contribute anything useful, so what does it matter?" Alice countered.
"Does that mean that I don't have to be here?" Emm asked, he obviously liked that idea and he wasn't the only one.
"Or me?" Edward asked until he caught the look on my face and continued. "I mean of course we all need to be here, this is for all of us and we all need to agree on what we want." He said focusing on Alex as he attempted to get at least some food into her mouth.
"Exactly." Alice said and made her way into the living room, Rose followed, pulling Jasper and Emmett with her.
"You go ahead, I could be a while." Edward suggested.
"What and miss you making a mess again? Can you at least try and keep her clean this time?"
"Hey I always try to do that, its just that by the end of the pot she likes to grab it and rub it into her hair." Edward said grimacing.
"Do you want me to do it?" I asked.
"No, I love feeding her and cleaning her up afterwards, maybe not cleaning food out of her hair but I love doing everything else." He said.
"I know." I said leaning in to kiss his cheek, before I got out the wet wipes ready.
~F~
I made myself comfy on the love seat and Edward angled himself next to me so that I wouldn't be exposing myself to anyone. Alex settled quickly and Edward grinned as she started gulping loudly. Emmett moaned, then mumbled something and Rose punched him and told him to stop thinking about his sisters tits.
"So are we all in agreement that the color scheme is white and lilac?" Alice asked.
I leaned into Edward, he knew how I felt about this part, he didn't like it anymore than I did. I knew this was Alice's and Rose's wedding, but why did I have to have lilac?
"No Alice, you know we don't all agree and as much as this is for you and Rose, don't forget this is just as much Bella's wedding day as it is yours. She deserves the wedding she wants too." Edward said and I kissed his neck.
"What about a mixture of light and dark blues? Alice and I could always add some lilac to our bouquets." Rose suggested, and Ali looked up at me hopefully.
"That sounds okay." I smiled.
"Excellent... What about bridesmaids?" Alice continued.
"You and Rose have six between you, you don't need anymore." I pointed out.
"Are you sure Bella? Isn't there anyone you want there?" Ali asked.
"Alice, the only bridesmaids I would want are you and Rose and you can't do it. Plus Alex is too young, and Izzie is our flower girl, there is no one else." I insisted. "Well except maybe for Mom, but she'll have enough to do." I said as Mom came in to join us, stroking her hand over my hair as she passed.
"Okay... What about the cake, any idea's about what anyone wants?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, four tiers of Moms chocolate cake." Emmett said.
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
"Well that was easy." Alice said.
"Maybe for you." Mom added.
"If its too much Mom we can just order one." I offered.
"Don't be silly, I'd love to do the cake, how does white icing with different shades of blue flowers iced on to it sound?" Mom asked.
"Perfect." Alice, Rose and I agreed.
"As long as I get chocolate cake I'm good." Emm said and Jazz and Edward agreed. "But when are we going to get to the good part and talk about what we're going to do for the party?"
Rose rolled her eyes, "We had the party baby, next is the wedding." She said rubbing his head.
"You know what I mean... what about the games?" Emmett asked.
"We are not having games at the wedding oaf." Alice told him.
"But we have to have games." He said pouting.
"Can't we have a games day the week before the wedding or something?" Jasper asked, he had been involved with too much of Emmett's plans, I think it was starting to wear off on him.
"Only if its warm enough for a jello pool." Edward said.
"If you think I am putting on a swim suit and playing wrestling, you have another thing coming." I told him.
"Come on Bells, you are almost bumpless already and I'm sure Alex would enjoy jello flavored lunch." Emm said grinning at me.
"So you want me to get fit, meaning I'd have to stop breastfeeding my daughter, just so that I can compete in your games day?" I asked them. They all had their mouths open but no words came out. "Thanks guys but I won't be taking part." I said.
"But the piggy back race?" Emm asked.
"Will be the exception." Edward answered. I frowned at him. "No complaints babe, carrying you won't be a problem.
"I'd have to express myself first." I pointed out and laughed at the confused expressions on Jazz and Emm's faces. Covering myself up and putting Alex on my shoulder, she was already asleep. "But I have an idea for something I'd like to contribute."
"What's that?" Emm asked, everyone gave me their full attention. "Well, I'd like to use the money I have put away from LA, I would like to hire a few fair ground attraction."
They all gasped, "Like what?" Edward asked.
"Well at the very least I'd like to hire dodgem cars." I suggested.
"Oh my god!" Alice squealed.
"Totes get my vote." Rose said.
"Emm, Jazz and Edward were speechless, their expressions euphoric. "I thought you had put that money into a college fund for Alex?" Mom said.
"Most of it I have, but I checked on how much this was likely to cost and I have saved that much." I said.
"Are you sure Bella?" Mom asked.
"It's been my plan all along, well since I came home it has, it was always the ride I liked best as a kid. I'm pretty sure its something we can all enjoy, I can always get a baby bounce castle or something for Izzie and Alex." I said.
"One of those huge bouncy water slides." Emmett suggested grinning.
"Why is it that all your suggestions involve swim wear?" Alice asked him.
"Because I love seeing Rose all wet with her tits ha..."
"Eww Emmett!" Alice complained, as Jasper threw a cushion at him.
"Fine, swim wear will be optional." Emm offered. "Except for Rose." He added mumbling.
"Good, as I will at least be in jean shorts and one of Edwards t-shirts, though they might have to be Edwards shorts too." I said wondering if I would actually fit in my old jeans.
Edward chuckled and nuzzled is face into my hair, "I'm sure we can find you some shorts, though I like the idea of you trying to get into my shorts."
"Oh please stop you two, or you'll be disappearing up stairs again and we need to get back to sorting out this wedding." Alice complained.
"No, more games day first." Emm said.
"Fine, everyone can write down a few suggestions about the games they would like to have and we will discus that later and pick the best ideas from everyone." Ali suggested.
I got up so that I could go and change Alex and put her down for a nap, but Mom took her from me as she was going up anyway as Izzie would be waking from her nap soon.
Edward pulled me against his side. "Nice try." He said chuckling.
"Hey didn't you say you'd never let anyone hurt me again?" I asked him.
"I never will." He said adamantly.
"Well I'm starting to feel the pain of your sister right now." I whispered, she heard and glared at me.
"Me too." Edward whispered.
"Will you at least tell me what you think of these." She said handing over the design for the invitations, order of service and menus.
~F~
It was two hours later before Edward and I managed to escape, we didn't really contribute to anything. We did however manage to veto a few things, which included inviting most of Forks to the wedding. The Newtons were the first to be crossed off the list, I didn't mind Mom and Dad inviting their friends and neighbors. But seriously I wanted nothing to do with them, especially those who had family I went to school with. The only people from school would be three of the bridesmaids that Alice had, not that it mattered that much. I wouldn't have any involvement and had no intention of socializing with anyone apart from my immediate family. I really couldn't wait for it all to be over and luckily neither could Edward, except he wanted to show me off to all his family that I hadn't met yet. Obviously I wasn't looking forward to that and my wedding dress certainly wouldn't allow me any anonymity on the day. At least I had the excuse of having to take care of Alex as a means of escape, I just had to keep my head down until the ordeal was all over.
~F~
Edward passed me a letter that had arrived today from LA.
My dearest Marie/Bella.
Hey sweetie, I just wanted to know how you were doing and how you are getting along with your beautiful new baby. We all miss you very much, especially Angela, though I have since found out how she feels about you and I seriously wish you had told me. Not that it matters now but still.
We are almost done with the re-build, I have included some pics of us all and the new restaurant. The grand re-opening will be in two weeks from today, I'm sure it won't be possible but I would love it if you could make it to the opening.
Thanks so much for the pictures of you and Alexandria, that red hair reminds me of the way you looked when you first arrived. You were so young and broken, yet here you are mature, strong and about to marry the boy of your dreams. I am, well we are all so happy for you and we wouldn't miss it for the world.
Look forward to hearing from you soon, All my love Kate.
"You okay?" Edward asked. I nodded and handed him the letter to read as I looked at the four pictures that Kate had included.
One picture was of Caius, Marcus and Garrett with their shirts off busy moving the debris through the front of the the building. The second was of them all standing together in the bar where I had been trapped, it was cleared and cleaned and very different from the last time I'd seen it. It still made me shiver remembering the terror of being trapped for hours. "Hey." Edward said wrapping his arm around me.
"This was the bar where I was trapped." I whispered, he rubbed my arm to comfort me.
"Would you like to go to the opening?" He asked.
"Part of me would love to, but I couldn't go without you." I said, I'd be hard pressed to go anywhere without him again.
"I wouldn't let you go without me." He said smirking. "But, you do have the final fitting for your dress in LA, I'm sure Alice could work it to make it for the opening, if you'd like."
"Really?" I asked, he smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Really... Now who is that?" He asked pointing at Marcus, so I explained who everyone was. "Not sure how I feel about you living with that guy." Edward said shaking his head, "I feel kinda jealous that he got to be with you." Edward said shaking his head, then he sighed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Are you ever going to tell me what happened to you?" He asked.
"Soon." I said leaning into him, I wanted to tell him, I did, but I just still wasn't ready to revisit it yet. I guessed with the reopening coming up, I'd be forced to sooner than I'd like, but for now I wanted to stay in my happy bubble for as long as I could.
