Chapter 42
As Edward walked away from me, saying something about a dustpan, I grabbed the edge of my top and pulled it off before I lost my nerve. I dropped it to the floor and shimmied out of my shorts. So, all that I was left wearing was my underwear and a pair of converse. My undies were nothing special, just a black sports bra and ladies boxers, but at least they matched.
When Edward turned back around to face me, he froze on the spot, his face a complete picture of shock. "Bella… what are you doing?"
I shrugged. That wasn't exactly the reaction I had been hoping for. "You said that we should tidy up," I said, cocking my eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, I ah, meant the house."
"Oh. Do you want me to put my clothes back on?" I asked, but I had no intention of covering up. I wanted him and I knew he wanted me too.
"Yes. No. I mean… we can't," he said, swallowing hard. "You're underage." His eyes were struggling to remain on my face. I smirked to myself, knowing that with a little persuasion he would be mine.
I walked over to him and placed my hand on his chest, gazing up into his eyes. "I'm not a delicate virgin, Edward. You don't need to worry about that. I know what I'm getting myself into."
He frowned, cupping my face. "I hope whoever you gave your virginity to, worshipped you like you deserve."
I wasn't sure how to reply to that and I didn't particularly want to think about Jacob at the moment. He was the only guy I had ever slept with and I had only ever slept with him because I thought we were forever.
I merely nodded in response, and then whispered, "Kiss me, Edward."
His eyes locked with mine as if debating the decision before he leaned down and tenderly placed a kiss on my lips. He hummed before pulling back and rubbing his thumb along my bottom lip. "You have no idea how much I want you. How much I've wanted you since the moment I saw you, but we should wait. At least for a few weeks, until you are of legal age."
I sighed, taking a step back to pull away from him, but Edward grabbed me, refusing to let me go. He tilted my chin and forced me to look him in the eyes. "Please understand, Bella. I'm not doing this to hurt you. I just want to do this the right way. I want to do everything the right way when it comes to you."
