Chapter 39
BPOV
I looked around the busy club trying to find any familiar faces. I was getting anxious that I couldn't find anyone. The bass was pumping loudly and it was getting on my nerves. This wasn't my scene at all. Though I had to admit it was nice to do something so normal for a change. I was just anxious I couldn't find the others.
Alice and Rose had left my apartment after playing Bella Barbie for a few hours, primping and preening me, but then they'd had to leave and I told them I would simply meet them here. Alice had texted me the instructions on how to get into the VIP entrance that would avoid the press, and true to her word I hadn't seen anyone with a camera yet.
I was glad of it, because I felt slightly uncomfortable in my high heels and more make up than I'd probably ever worn in my life. I mean I looked good, there was no denying it. but it still made me a bit self conscious.
I pulled at the hem of my dress, it was shorter than I usually wore and I was worried I was showing people some private parts of me. Though Alice assured me everything was covered and in all fairness the hemline did reach beyond my fingertips. So unless I was planning on doing the splits or jumping jacks I was probably fine. I just felt exposed.
And I wasn't used to that.
Certainly not when I was still alone at this strange place and there were several men staring at my legs with looks that made me shudder.
I scanned the crowd again and finally spotted Rose leaning against a standing table at the far corner of the bar. I sighed in relief and headed over, unfortunately I had to go through the mess of dancing bodies to get there. I tried to be gentle and careful as I made my way through the bodies dry humping and grinding but it was difficult to get past them at all. I finally just started elbowing people out of my way when subtle touches didn't work.
When I finally reached Rose she was grinning at me like the Cheshire cat.
I rolled my eyes. 'Are you enjoying yourself?'
'Immensely.' She snarked back.
'You couldn't have picked a table near the entrance?'
'And missed that lovely dance you just did? No way.' Alice added, appearing at Rose's elbow.
I rolled my eyes again. 'Alright. Enough. I'm here, so what's the plan?'
'The guys aren't here yet.' Rose said smiling at me. 'So we are going to grab a drink and then dance until they are.'
'Wnd when they are, you're going to knock my brother's socks off.'
'Ugh, Alice. He's your brother. You shouldn't be this involved.' I shuddered.
She just shook her head at me. 'I mean I definitely don't want to hear the details, no. but I do want to see you both happy. And I know that being together will make that happen. So let's go!'
We headed to the VIP area's private bar and Rose ordered a round of shots. We cheered and then knocked them back. It burned down my throat and I coughed a bit at how strong it was.
'Jesus Rose what was that?' I wheezed.
Rose grinned. 'Just a little drink to get us started.' She said innocently, a bit too innocently.
I just shook my head at her. I was realizing this night was probably going to be a good one. I hadn't been able to let loose for so long. If the alcohol would give me the push to really let go for a night, then that was fine by me.
I wanted to dance, I wanted to let my hair down.
I deserved that for one night. Guilt free.
And if I needed to shut up the little voice at the back of my mind with alcohol, then so be it.
'To letting go!' Alice said holding up her drink. We all clinked glasses as we repeated after her.
The evening was fun. We talked and laughed while we sipped our drinks and when I felt a little buzz from the alcohol Rose and Alice dragged me onto the dancefloor. The irritating bass was actually good to dance too, surprisingly. Within moments I was swinging my hips with Rose and Alice. The beat was coursing through my body and I felt my muscles relax as I closed my eys and just let myself be in this moment.
Everything else fell away; the business, the club, the meetings, the press… I was just here, enjoying myself. It was liberating to say the least. When two hands encircled my hips I didn't pull away like I'd have done in any other situation. Instead I let myself be pulled back into a strong firm chest and let the hands lead my hips. My eyes stayed closed as I let him move me to the beat.
I would recognize his scent anywhere. Edward.
I threw my hands up and let them trail down him, his hair was soft, there was a slight scruff on his cheek. His neck was firm and his shoulders were broad. I trailed my hands down his arms next, and god his biceps were huge as were his forearms.
'You look amazing tonight.' His voice breathed in my ear over the bass of the music. It was warm, melodic and downright sensual.
I spun around and looked up into Edward's bright green eyes. He was smiling gently at me, continuing our dance effortlessly.
'Edward' I breathed. 'When did you get here?'
'Not long ago.' He said with a soft smile.
He seemed a bit hesitant though, and I could definitely understand why. The last time we'd seen each other I'd run from him after kissing him.
'I'm sorry!' I blurted out.
He frowned.
'For last night.' I clarified.
'Ah' he said, the smile leaving his face and an eery blankness creeping in. His hands loosened from my body and he took a small step back. 'No problem. We can just pretend it didn't happen.' He muttered.
I frowned. 'what?' I was confused.
'I'm sorry too you know. I didn't mean to take advantage or anything. If you'd rather just forget it, that's fine I mean we're friends right?'
'Edward.' I cut in, placing my hand over his lips. 'I'm not sorry it happened.' I clarified as it dawned on me what he was saying. He thought I regretted our kiss.
He frowned again.
'I'm apologizing for running away from you afterwards.'
He blinked but didn't say anything.
I took a deep breath. 'I'm so sorry for not realizing sooner what I was doing to you. I never meant to hurt you.'
'Bella.' He protested.
But I shook my head. I needed to get this out before I lost my nerve. 'I'm sorry I did that to you yesterday. I don't ever want you to think that I regret kissing you.'
'you don't?' he asked, slightly hopeful.
I bit my lip and nodded. 'in fact… I've been wanting to do this for a while now.' I muttered, then I stretched myself up on my toes and pressed my lips to his.
For a moment he froze. But then his arms came aound me and he crushed me to his body, holding me tightly against him. I threw my arms around his neck as his lips moved against my own. It was heaven. It was even better than I remembered from last night. His lips were soft and yet firm as they moved against my own and when his tongue swept out, I couldn't stop the moan. I opened to him and his tongue swirled with mine. He tasted faintly like scotch and I loved it. He clutched me tighter against him and I was on the tips of my toes to reach him.
When we finally pulled away we were both panting hard.
'Bella.' He muttered, his eyes dancing as they locked with mine. He pushed a strand of hair out of my face.
'Let's go.' I told him, grabbing his hand and towing him to the back exit.
He followed after me, holding me tightly against him when we passed by a group of rowdy guys. Thankfully no one seemed to recognize us and we were quickly led out of the club and a cab was hailed for us by the doorman. I gave them Edward's address and before he could respond my lips were on his again. I couldn't get enough of him and his taste. He groaned and clutched me against him tightly. His fingers dancing along my spine as he pulled me closer to him, his other hand tangled in the back of my hair, holding me tightly to him, as if I would be anywhere else.
When the cabbie announced we were there, Edward pulled away and grabbed his wallet, throwing money over the seat.
'You never saw us.' He muttered as he helped me from the cab. I didn't even want to know how much money he had just thrown over the seat. I didn't really care.
The cabbie nodded and Edward quickly led us into his apartment building. I attacked him again in the elevator, pressing him up against the wall and kissing along his jaw and the strong colum of his neck, savouring his taste.
'Bella.' He groaned.
The elevator doors opened signalling we were on his floor. We headed for his door, his hand clutching mine tightly and he had the door open within a few seconds and me pushed against it in another few.
'You have no idea what you do to me.' he groaned as he pushed himself against me. his hardness pressing firmly against my belly.
'Oh I have some idea.' I muttered, pressing my hips against his.
He groaned and caputered my lips in a fiery kiss that had my toes curling.
'Wait' he pulled back, his breath coming out in pants. 'wait, we have to stop.'
'No we don't' I muttered, pulling his lips back to mine again.
he groaned into my mouth and pressed me against the door again. After a few moments he pulled back again.
'No. we do.' he said again.
I felt the cold stab of rejection shoot through me. Had Alice been wrong? Did he not want me as I wanted him?
'I'm sorry' I muttered softly.
He groaned. 'Bella. Look at me.' he said.
I bit my lip and forced myself to meet his gaze. He put his hand under my chin and stroked my cheek softly with his thumb. 'I want you.' he muttered.
My heart soared. 'I want you too.' I whispered softly. The grin that spread across his face was breathtaking.
'Does this mean you're ready for more?' he asked me seriously. 'that you're ready to date?'
I bit my lip and nodded. 'I want you Edward. More than anything.' I told him. 'I'm ready. I want you. Now shut up and kiss me. Make me yours.' I said, grabbing his face in my hands and not giving him the chance to protest, I pressed my lips against his again.
Though I needn't have worried. He definitely did not protest. Instead, he growled and wrapped his strong arms around me, lifting me from the ground as if I weighed nothing at all, and urging my legs around his hips. With strong confident strides he carried us into his bedroom.
He laid me down gingerly on the bed, as if I was something delicate or breakable. But I didn't want delicate. I wanted passion. I needed to feel him tonight. I needed his passion, hard and raw.
I sat up and grabbed hold of his shirt, pulling it off him in one quick motion. I bit my lip as I took in his firm chest. He was definitely sculpted like a statue. Firm musles and a delicious V that disappeared into his jeans. I wanted to trace my tongue along it and find out where it went. A slight dusting of hair covered his pecs and I groaned at the sight. This man was perfection.
'Edward.' I muttered as I gazed up at him. his eyes were filled with lust as he looked at me. 'you're the most amazing man I've ever met.' I told him.
He grinned and leaned down to capture my lips again. His hands roamed my body, slipping along my curves and illiciting sounds I had almost forgotten I could make from me. His hands found the zipper at the back and with only a slight pause he took hold of it and brought it down. I pushed the sleeves down my arms and let it pool around my waist. I shivered slightly as the cold air hit my bare breasts, no bra had worked with the dress so I hadn't bothered. My nipples pebbeled and Edward took notice of that fact as well. his eyes darkened as he gazed at me.
'Bella.' He choked out, one hand coming up and gently tracing the shape of my breast, before putting his hand firmly on it and pressing his lips to mine again. he pressed me back against the bed as his hand massaged my breast and I let out a moan. It felt heavenly. I hadn't been touched in so long I'd almost forgotten what it felt like. Wetness pooled in my panties and my hands started fumbling with his belt. I wanted him. no, it was more than that. I needed him. I needed this connection with him.
'you're so beautiful, Bella.' He muttered, as he placed soft butterfly kisses down my neck and between my breasts. Then his tongue flicked over my hardened nipple and I let out a hiss in surprise. His didn't stop there. his mouth closed over it and he sucked hard. My hips bucked up into him, searching for anything that would cause the friction I was so desperate for. He growled against me and his teeth nipped at me. I groaned and clutched his head to my chest. Silently begging him to continue. I was ridiculously close to coming from just this alone.
He was that good. Or it had just been that long since I'd been with someone… perhaps it was both.
As he tongued my breast, his other hand massaged the other one and I writhed hopelessly underneath him.
'Edward, please' I begged him.
He smiled against my skin. 'what do you want Bella?' he asked, pulling back slightly, with a glint in his eyes.
'you.' I muttered.
'You have me.' he responded, crashing his lips back on mine again.
My hands returned to his belt buckle, finally undoing it and I didn't wast anytime tearing open his jeans and pushing my hand inside his boxers. He was hard and ready and as my hand closed around him, he let out a groan.
'Bella' he breathed. 'I won't last if you keep doing that.'
'Then hurry up and take me.' I muttered as I claimed his lips again.
That seemed to flip a switch in Edward. He pulled back, grabbing hold of my dress around my waist and pulled it off me in one smooth motion. My shoes were next, then he grabbed hold of my panties and ripped those off too. I faintly registered the sound of tearing, but I didn't care. His hands had turned to his own clothes. He grabbed his jeans and shoved them down, his boxers followed and I gasped. Edward truly was a fine specimen of a man. He stood before me in his naked glory, all hard and toned muscles. His erection stood proudly at attention, and there was nothing that was disappointing about that either. He was simply amazing.
Before I could reach out to him, he was on top of me again. His cock nestled in the apex between my thighs I let out a moan at the feel of him on my long neglected flesh. He kissed down my chest and stomach, nipping at my hipbone as I writhed helplessly underneath him.
'Please.' I begged him. 'please.'
'Don't worry. I'll take care of you.' he muttered, settling between my tighs, spreading me open before him as he hitched one of my legs over his shoulder. Then his tongue stroked up my slit and my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head. I clutched his hair holding him against me tightly.
'oh god' I moaned as his tongue teased my clit and licked at my most intimate flesh. When I felt his finger enter me I was done for. I clenched my tighs together, trapping him between my legs as I shuddered and moaned as my orgasm hit me. his tongue continued lapping at me, sending aftershock after aftershock of pleasure through me, when he finally pulled back, I was a quivering panting mess. He kissed his way back up my body and I opened my eyes to see him looking very proud of himself.
'That was amazing.' I muttered, still out of breath.
'you are a mazing.' He muttered, capturing my lips in a searing kiss, as he positioned himself at my entrance. But I stopped him, he frowned as he pulled back, but I quickly pushed him onto his back and straddled him. His eyes widened and he grinned up at me as he realized what I was doing. I grabbed him and slid myself along his harness, revelling in the feeling of his flesh against mine. I was slightly surprised he'd already put a condom on, but then again I'd been completely oblivious during one of the best orgasms I'd ever had, he'd probably had plenty of time for it. I grabbed him and slowly slid down on him, taking him in inch by inch. Edward tensed beneath me, groaning.
When we were finally fully joined he let out a big breath. I did too. He was large and stretched me deliciously. But he also seemed to fit me just right, hitting all the spots inside me just right. When his eyes opened again I slowly started moving. He groaned and his hands grabbed hold of my hips. But I grabbed his hands and put them above his head, holding them in place. I was in control now. His eyes widened for a moment, but then he grinned up at me. I grinned back before capturing his mouth again.
'fuck Bella. You feel amazing.' He muttered as I started moving in earnest and soon the only sound that filled the room was the sounds of our moans and our skin slapping together. We were both panting hard as we strained together for that pinnacle that seemed just out of reach. Edward was thrusting his hips up in time with my movements and hitting all the right spots inside of me. I groaned and started going faster. I released Edwards hands as I sat back, changing the angle and giving myself the leverage I needed by grabbing hold of his tighs behind me.
He groaned at the new feel, and he quickly took use of the freedom of his hands. One grabbed hold of my breats and the other zeroed in on my clit and started rubbing it in time with my movements. I sped up. His hips started thrusting up faster and I could feel myself start to clench around him.
'Edward!' I moaned as his hand started moving faster over my clit and his fingers pinched my nipple hard. I came, clenching hard around him. his hands moved to my hips and he moved me over him a few more times before grunting and groaning as well and I felt him twitch inside me as he found his release. I collapsed on top of him, completely spent.
We were both panting hard and I couldn't believe how amazing that had been. I'd never been this satisfied after sex. Not even with my battery operated friends.
I lazily kissed his chest. 'that was amazing.' I muttered.
He laughed throatily. 'you can say that again.' he said, then kissed my temple. 'you are amazing.'
I sat up and he tucked one of his arms behind him head as he smiled crookedly at me. It did great things for his body and for a moment I was distracted. My finger traced the lines of his muscles and he shivered.
I shook myself. 'I need to clean up.' I muttered, smiling softly at him.
He nodded and pointed to a door. 'bathroom's in there.' br /I leaned down and pecked him before heading to the bathroom. I quickly peed and then glanced in the mirror to check myself. My hair was wild, but in a freshly fucked kind of way and my face was flushed. My eyes sparkled. I looked… happy, I finally decided.
I headed back into the bedroom, to find Edward had turned on one of the bedside lamps and was sitting under the covers, leaning against the headboard. He looked over at me as I emerged. I blushed as his gaze travelled over my still very naked body from head to toe.
'you're so beautiful' he whispered as he held his hand out to me. I took it and he scooted over on the bed, pulling me in beside him.
I rolled to face him as he wrapped his arms around me. 'I should have stayed yesterday.' I said.
'It doesn't matter anymore, Bella. You're here now.' he assured me.
"Still, I want to explain.'
He nodded, waiting silently for me to continue.
'I was scared. I've never felt something like this before. I've always been on my own. I've never had anyone want to take care of me. it's all very new and confusing to me.' I admitted softly.
His grip on me tightened slightly, but he didn't speak.
'When we kissed, I loved it. I wanted it. but suddenly my brain was just throwing up all these reasons why it was a bad idea, and I got scared and ran.'
'And it's not a bad idea now?' he asked, trepidiation in his voice.
'Angela and Alice both laid into me. they told me I was being stupid. Then they made me call Leah.'
'Leah?' he asked confused.
'I asked her what would happen if I were to start dating one of my players.'
He sucked in a sharp breath. 'and what did she say?'
'that if we published a statement it shouldn't be a problem.'
He grinned at me. 'and?'
'She sent the drafts this afternoon. We can chose which we like best and have it published some time next week.' I bit my lip as I looked at him. 'that is… if you want to.'
He looked thoughtful for a moment. 'do I want to date the girl I've been pining over for the last few months? Hmm, let me think about that.'
I giggled and lightly stlapped his shoulder.
he rolled us so that I was underneath him. 'Yes, Bella. I've wanted you since that first moment I met you. I've valued you as a friend, but some part of me always knew that we could be amazing together. I care about you, Bella, deeply.' He looked so deeply into my eyes that it took my breath away for a moment.
I didn't know how to respond exeactly, so I did the only thing I could think of. I showed him how much his words meant to me. I grabbed his face and pushed my lips to his, while my hand travelled down his body to grasp him firmly in my hand. And we started all over again. This time more gentle and slow, but just as amazing.
