The Morning after the Night Before

"Edward, do you want to explain to me exactly what the hell is going on here?"
I sat upright in bed, a guilty look crossed my face as Bella fells away from me. My Mom just cocked her eyebrow at me and I know that she was expecting an answer, but what was I going to say?

"Mom, this is not what is looks like, honestly."

"So, what exactly is this then?" She hissed at me, "I go to make sure that Bella is okay given last night's antics and found her bed empty, finding she is here with you! So please, do tell me what this is exactly. You have five seconds. One, two, three-"

She is interrupted by Bella, who was obviously woken by being unceremoniously dumped onto the bed.

"Mrs. Cullen, sorry Esme. This is all my fault, please let me explain."

Mom simply said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

"You know what happened with James down at the beach party. Well, I couldn't sleep properly. I was having nightmares about him coming for me and no one being able to protect me. I was so scared. I didn't know which your room was, and I didn't want to risk disturbing Dr. Cullen, so I came in here. Edward was asleep so I got onto the bed and used the bedspread off my bed to cover myself. See? We aren't under the covers together."

She was on the verge of tears telling this story. At that point she threw back the bedspread she had covering her, and indeed she was on top of my bedding, and we were separated. When did she do that? As I clearly remembered us lying next to each other. I looked at my Mom, whose face was softening already. Wow, even I believed her.

"Oh Bella, sweetheart! I am so sorry, you could have come to my room. Carlisle was at work last night. But, never mind."

Mom walked over to Bella and gave her a hug and said,

"C'mon downstairs. Breakfast is ready. Carlisle just got home from the hospital; there was some kind of emergency or other, so he got delayed."

With that, she left the room she was chewing her lip nervously and asked, almost whispering,

"Do you think she bought that?"

I laughed, "hook, line and sinker. So when did you get the spare bedding? I didn't feel you leave.
So glad you did, though!"

"I planned to go back to the guest room, since you were sound asleep but when I pulled away you grumbled in your sleep. You didn't want me to leave so I got this blanket just in case and came back. You seemed pleased to have me there judging by what you were doing in your sleep."

I blushed furiously, "Oh, what was that then?"

"You were, erm, grinding into me and muttering something. You said someone's name. I couldn't hear what it was, though. You're quite amusing when you sleep." She teased.
Oh, boy. I just had to pray that I didn't say Tanya's name out loud. That would be bad.

"Oh well, I probably just liked having you near me."

"I certainly wasn't complaining." With that, she kissed me quickly and left.

Once I was dressed, I went down to breakfast and we chatted with Mom and Dad about last night, and the plan for tutoring Bella. We set a study date for the middle of the following week at her house, and then Rose arrived home along with Emmett. He had bruises on his jaw and a cut on his lip. Immediately Mom was on her feet fussing over him. He simply responded with,

"You should see the other guy." He winked at Bella, who just laughed.

Dad was on his feet to examine the damage and once he had ascertained that there was nothing that he could do, he excused himself to sleep.

Bella needed to leave, but I wasn't about to let her by herself, especially if her Dad wasn't going to be home. Who knew where James was or what he was planning to do. I followed her to her house in my car, and she invited me inside. I was hesitant, but accepted. We decided to watch a DVD. She found a comfortable position lying with her head on my lap and occasionally she would look up at me with those big brown eyes. I could feel the rising urge to fuck her senseless every time she moved on my lap. I am sure that she knew what she was doing as she began to giggle.

"Bella, if you don't stop doing that, then I'm afraid you're going to have to help me get rid of the problem."

"Hmm, I have no issue with helping…It would be a pleasure."

Oh, this girl was going to be the death of me, especially if Charlie came home.

"When is your dad due home? We were pretty close to being caught last time and I can't do that again."

Before I knew it, she was reaching for her phone. I realized she was calling him to find out. She used the pretense of cooking dinner for him to find out how much time we had. Once she hung up she sat on my lap. Her face was inches from mine as she breathed.

"He won't be home until 6pm at the earliest. Seeing as it's only just after 1pm, I think that gives us more than enough time to take care of your 'problem', wouldn't you say."

She had such a teasing look on her face and was grinding her hips slowly across my now hard erection. I knew that she could feel it through the layers separating us as she gasped and moaned. Oh, I needed to show her exactly what she did to me, and what I could do for her in return. We kissed with all the passion, fire, and electricity that I felt before. My hands roamed under her shirt and before I knew it, the shirt was on the floor and I was reaching around to unhook her bra. Her breasts fell free and I broke from the kiss to gaze at them. They were truly perfect, with their full roundness and reactive nipples. I put my mouth to her left breast kissing and then taking the nipple in my mouth until I felt it grow hard. Then I lavished the same attention to the other and she groaned in pleasure, grinding harder onto my cock. I released the nipple from my mouth causing her to gasp at the lack of contact before making my way back to her mouth. She was now removing my shirt, although she was nowhere near as adept as I am, and kept stopping to do it.

"Here, let me." I breathed as I pulled it over my head.

I heard her sharp intake of breath as her eyes and then fingers raked over my bare chest. She sent shivers through me with her touch. I needed her, and I needed her now. Bella however, had other ideas. She kissed my chest and as she got lower and lower slid off my knee coming to rest between my legs. She was kissing just above the waistband of my jeans and I needed to be sure that this was what she wanted. I didn't know how experienced she was and didn't want to make her uncomfortable. She stopped kissing me and began to fumble with my belt buckle and once she had mastered that, my jeans were ripped open revealing the fact that I had gone commando in my hurry to get dressed. She looked shocked as my erect cock sprang free from its confines, and I managed to stifle a laugh as she asked.

"Someone in a rush this morning, or did you forget your underwear for easier access?"

"Hmm, maybe a bit of both. Are you sure about-"

I was silenced as she took me in her mouth. All I could do was groan at the contact, and let my head fall backwards. I couldn't look at her at the moment. I was worried that it would be too much; that seeing her with her lips wrapped around my cock would make me lose it immediately. Her lips moved expertly up and down my length. She would run her lips teasingly around the head and then release it, placing soft feather-like kisses up and down it before retaking it in her hot mouth. I grasped at the cushions on the couch, stopping myself from grabbing her hair and forcing the pace that I needed as this slow and gentle action of hers was nearly killing me.

"God Bella, more please!" I managed to get out through gritted teeth.

I felt her giggle in response and that send vibrations up and down my cock, adding a whole new dimension to proceedings. My breath was becoming more like pants, and I chanced a glance at her, and nearly stopped breathing all together. She looked magnificent, her head bobbing up and down like an expert, her hands on my thighs, fingers flexing grasping at them. My head went back to its previous position and I let out a huge groan of pure pleasure.

I know that I would not be able to hold out much longer, and wasn't sure that she would want me to coat her throat for her, so I did the gentlemanly thing and tapped her shoulder. Her eyes met mine but she never stopped her actions or slowed in any way.

"Bella, I'm going to… I can't hold out much longer."

She simply smiled and sped up her actions, obviously pleased with the reaction that she was getting out of me. It was clear that she wasn't going to stop, so I came with her mouth still wrapped around me, saying only her name. Once I had finished, she sucked me clean and then rocked back onto her heels with a smug look on her face as she questioned.

"Was that okay for you?"

I reached down, taking her hands in mine and pulled her back onto my lap.

"Bella, that was… well… you took my breath away. Where did you learn that if you were, well, a, erm-"She broke me off.

"Virgin, Edward. That's the word that you are looking for. Virgin. Just because I hadn't had a cock inside me doesn't mean that I don't know what to do with one."

She had a smug look on her face, and I was speechless, so she continued.

"James was selfish in his needs. He worked out that he could get what he wanted without having to give me anything in return. We did plan to have sex; it just never quite worked out. Blow jobs were what he wanted and let's face it I wasn't going to argue with him. He always said the time was never right for us to have sex. Well, he obviously taught me that skill well."

The very mention of James's name made me feel sick, but I couldn't really complain. I had just received one of the best blow jobs of my life from a girl that I am crazy about. Could life get any better? Yeah, it could and I am sure that it would later; I just needed to recoup some energy first.
"Let's not talk about him, please Bella. I still can't believe that you were with him. By the way, I am certainly not complaining. You were fantastic."

She smiled at me in response and settled back in my arms. I held her to my chest. Realizing she was still topless, I pulled the throw from the back of the couch and draped it around her. We laid there watching another film not really taking in what it was about. Truthfully, all I cared about was that she was with me, and James was not.

We resumed our make out session once the DVD finished. I thought that I would never tire of kissing her. She was truly amazing and brought out a side of me that I didn't know existed. Bella slowly moved back to her earlier position of straddling my lap and my dick instantly reacted to her presence. The throw was quickly discarded and my hands were once again roaming her beautiful porcelain skin. Every time I touched her, I could feel her react to me and I in turn reacted to her.

I could feel my cock growing hard once again as she brushed against it; her hips moving with delicious pace.

"Bella, if you don't want to, it's ok. You just need to tell me before it's too late."

"I want you, in every way possible Edward. Now." She practically growled at me.

I was pulling at her jeans, desperate to get them off her so I could reach my goal, she stood and dropped them to the floor before kicking them away. She stood naked in front of me, confident in her own skin. Looking at me she said,

"Now you need to lose yours, Cullen."

I didn't need to be told twice as my jeans quickly joined Bella's on the floor. Before I discarded them I retrieved a small silver packet, throwing it on the couch for later. Once I was completely naked she pushed me back to my sitting on the couch and resumed her position. I could feel the heat coming off her as she teased my cock with her movements. I went back to adorning her with soft feather like kisses mixed in with soft nips at her skin, paying particular attention to her fantastic breasts. I would never grow bored of her breasts. She was reacting perfectly to my every touch and movement over her skin; the nerves that were there last time on reflection were nowhere to be seen.

I looped my arms under her arms, grasping her shoulders as she leaned backwards allowing me access to her neck and throat, which I peppered with kisses. My cock was aching with need, and I wanted nothing more than to bury it deep in her, making her moan and scream my name.

"Bella, I need to fuck you and I should warn you that I might not be able to hold back but I will try."

"Bring it on, baby." She murmured, her voice filled with lust.

I rolled the condom on, and ran my fingers up and down her lips; she was perfect, and ready for me,

"So wet and ready for me I see, Bella." She let out a small groan in response. "God, I cannot wait to feel you around me again. Are you ready?"

I barely waited for her answer as I lifted her hips off mine, lining her up to the tip of my cock before bringing her down onto it in one smooth, swift motion. She gasped as I filled her, and I waited for a moment to allow both of us to adjust to the sensation. When I felt her relax I realized that this position was not going to work so I managed to move her so she was lying down on the couch. Hell, I would have just as easily thrown her across the dining room table or up against the wall, but knew that I needed to show some restraint, for now. I kept my strokes slow and steady, despite the fact that I wanted to hammer into her hard. She was writhing beneath me and I went back to her breasts, chewing on nipple of each one, before moving back to the other. Once I had teased them enough I moved my lips back to her neck and as I kissed her neck she nibbled on my ear. I nearly lost my shit then and there, it was so erotic.

Eventually our lips locked. We started out slow but ended up in a battle for dominance. As our kiss intensified and deepened, so did the movements I was making in and out of her. She was bucking her hips wildly with each stroke, and I knew that I was driving her wild and bringing her closer and closer towards my goal, which was to give her an orgasm.

This was not about me, it was more about her. I wanted her to feel what it is like to make love with someone you have true feelings for, and have that, plus more returned. I could tell by the way that she was reacting that it was building inside of her. Even if she had no idea what this was, I would be the one to guide her through it.

"Bella, are you okay, my love?" I managed to pant out.

"Hmmm, Eedddwaardd!" was all I got in response from her. I knew that she was close.

"Hang in there baby, I'm close too."

But it was too late. I felt her walls tighten around me, and she screamed in pleasure and confusion. Her hands made their way to my into my hair. Pulling hard, she contorted and writhed with the pleasure that was coursing through her body. I managed to thrust a few more times into her, before I, too lost control, and I saw stars. Her name fell from my lips and I rode out my own release.

Pulling out of her and removing the condom, I fell beside her on the couch. We were breathless, panting from our exertion, but happy. I went to put my arm around her and felt the tingle of electricity pass between us as she let out a small moan of pleasure.

We lay there for what felt like hours, but really it was minutes. I was happy and content and from the look on her face she felt the same way.

"Bella, are you okay there? It's just...you're very quiet."

"Sorry. I wasn't sure I could speak properly."

"Oh, but you're… okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?"

She pulled herself up to one elbow and looked at me.

"No, you didn't hurt me. It was, well it was amazing. Did I… I mean, I'm not sure but I felt something rush through me was that-"

I stopped her with a kiss before I answered.

"Yes Bella, that was an orgasm, and from where I was, it felt like a damn good one too."

She bushed furiously, burying her head into my chest. I pushed her chin up so she would look at me.

"You were amazing, Bella. We were amazing. It is nothing to be ashamed of."

She just nodded at me, and self-consciously grabbed the throw and covered us with it. I knew that if we stayed here then we would fall asleep and then risk Charlie coming home and finding his daughter, naked on the couch with me. Not surprising, that would not sit well with him.

"Bella, you should probably grab a shower. You smell of, well, sex."

"Only if you come with me." She looked at me with those big brown eyes and I was powerless to decline.

We showered, slowly taking the time to run our hands over each other's bodies, getting acquainted without sex getting in the way. She found each and every scar that I had gained from being clumsy as a child. Each one told its own story but she didn't push for any answers. She stopped when she saw the nail marks on my back. She looked at me questioningly, and I answered the silent question,

"All you from the other night."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think. What if anyone sees them?"

I laughed, "Bella, I am not in the habit of walking around shirtless. I'm certainly no teenage sex god. They will heal and fade. Don't worry."

We finished our shower and once dressed I saw that her dad was due home in about an hour so I said my goodbyes and left.

The previous twenty-four hours had been amazing, and I just wanted this feeling to continue, no matter how long...or short that was.
