Chapter Thirty-Five

They kissed for an immeasurable amount of time beside the door and then, Edward scooped Bella into his arms, carrying her to the couch.

He sat back and held her tightly on his lap, his lips never straying far from hers.

Hours they spent curled up together, cuddling, kissing, touching.

"We should probably get up," Bella whispered as she stretched.

"No." Edward pouted playfully, his hands resting on Bella's stomach as his fingers began to dance across the sliver of skin she was exposing.

"Edward, stop!" Bella giggled, writhing on his lap.

Edward hissed and Bella stopped moving altogether, feeling his growing arousal pressed up against her backside.

"Sorry," she whispered, blushing furiously and looking away.

"Don't be," he replied with a grin as he moved his lips to her neck, sucking seductively. "It's about time you knew what you do to me."
