Chapter 16
Reward
Bella
So when I walked into my room after dinner with freshly brushed teeth, wearing a T-shirt and pajama bottoms, I scraped together a bit of courage to confront him about my supposed ignorance.
I closed the door behind me and turned to Edward, who was sitting against the wall at the head of my bed.
"So ... what did Emmett mean by that today ...?", I tried to formulate emphatically slowly.
But it was enough. His eyes widened at the very mention of his brother, and judging by his horrified expression, he knew exactly what I was talking about. It was worth it just for that sight alone!
I bit my lips from the inside to keep from giggling uncontrollably and raised my eyebrows expectantly.
"Um ..."
Clearing his throat ...
Oh how divine! I think I have never seen him so aghast!
I already had to hold my stomach and gasped for air.
His eyes narrowed to slits and flashed mischievously. And faster than I could follow, I lay under him on the mattress and was tickled.
"You little beast! Do you think you can embarrass me with impunity?! You knew exactly - admit it!", he accused me.
When I got my breath back halfway, I confessed to him with a grin.
"Yeah ... it wasn't ... too hard to figure out."
We looked deep into each other's eyes, and both had to laugh again before, because of all the unspoken things, a crackling tension spread between us.
Clearing his throat quietly, he moved away from me a bit, his gaze seemingly unintentionally sliding down me, because he looked a bit caught when he lifted it again.
Therefore, I straightened up a bit on my elbows in anticipation.
"Um ... I hope he didn't put a bug in your ear ... Because I'm not ready for that yet."
His voice became more and more difficult to understand towards the end and I had to giggle again.
"Don't worry, I figured as much," I reassured him, climbing over his lap, then asked, "But then what's my reward?"
"That depends on whether you want your twenty-three kisses separately or together," he grinned mischievously at me.
Thinking about it, I put a finger to my chin.
"I'm guessing you're not going to tell me exactly what that would involve ..."
Slowly, he shook his head, licking his lower lip seductively.
In another situation, which would have made me laugh, but at that moment, it just drew me in magically.
Leaning on his upper body, I lowered myself onto him and bent down. With his breathtaking crooked smile he awaited me and stopped me a few millimeters before the promising goal by gently enclosing my face with his hands.
"Wait and enjoy," he murmured against my lips, which began to quiver longingly just from the cool breeze of his words brushing delicately over them.
The velvety, slightly smoky sound of his voice sent goose bumps down my spine, and I let myself be pulled into an extensive kiss without resistance. His fingers ran sensually over my head, through my hair and stroked up and down my back until they ventured onto the bare skin under my T-shirt. One tingling shiver after another made my limbs tremble.
Knowing that this would probably be over much sooner than I would have liked, I gave myself completely to the captivating adventure of our tongues.
Clouded by his bewitching scent, I let myself fall deep into the sweet sensations that drove me more and more out of my mind.
With an unexpected, firm grip, he grabbed me and turned us so that he was on top of me.
He didn't hover over me hyper-cautiously as usual, but gently pushed me down onto the bed. His hard body pressed against mine, leaving no speculation about his state of arousal and thus increasing the subliminal longing to want to feel him, which I acknowledged with an involuntary moan into his mouth.
The exceedingly embarrassing sound that had escaped my throat unbidden made the blood rush to my cheeks and brought me back to consciousness.
Half fearing that he would end our intimate lovemaking because of this, I faltered in my instinctive movement, which pressed my chest closer to his.
But he only smiled briefly against my lips and, reassuringly, made no effort to stop just yet.
But I firmly resolved to keep the treacherous sounds of my body better under control, so as not to inadvertently dissuade him from what he was doing - I could hardly call it a plan, because I had not yet given up the faint hope that he would eventually go beyond whatever he had set his mind to. For that was, as experience shows, a lot lower than my wishes. So I tried hard to keep my concentration, but I couldn't do it permanently with what came at me. Because over time, our kiss became more and more passionate, that I was dizzy just from them.
After that, he began to rub against me ...
The sensations that his body gave me with his graceful gestures, brought my heartbeat and breathing completely out of rhythm.
Also panting, he released his mouth from mine shortly after, only to caress my jaw, my neck and my skin with increasingly intense touches, wherever the neckline of my T-shirt allowed.
Inwardly, I cursed myself for not putting on a tank top.
My hands found their way under his shirt onto his back as if by themselves.
When he pressed his hard member harder and harder against my pubic bone, I was almost certain that he was no longer in his right mind. I was about to cheer silently when his demanding gestures became more painful and the muscle play under my palms suddenly seemed not only immensely masculine and erotic, but above all made clear his irrepressible power and strength.
Could I even stop him if I wanted to? a tiny apprehension crept up inside me.
But I still didn't want to miss this unique opportunity and tried to position myself differently to shift the pressure.
I opened my legs, which didn't do much. So I put them up and immediately had to bite my cheeks to stop a cry that this incredible feeling triggered in my most sensitive place.
He paused and I, firmly assuming that was all I was going to get now, heaved a shaky sigh.
But then I felt his nose running along my lips and noticed the metallic taste of my blood.
I had hurt myself with my teeth. Wisely, I kept my mouth and eyes tightly closed, on which I felt his questioning gaze and tried my luck with a pleading nestling of my pelvis. And I could hardly believe it when he actually buried his face in the crook of my neck again. I felt him stroke along my side, over my thigh, to the back of my knee and ultimately lift my leg to place it on his waist. Then all I felt was his cool tongue on my burning skin and his hand drifting back up to rest tentatively around my bosom at first. Shyly but purposefully, his fingers explored my feminine curves, caressing my sensitive nipples, sending electrifying pulses to my throbbing pleasure center, which seemed to develop a life of its own. When he took up a gently massaging circular motion, I was no longer capable of any clear thought.
My legs wrapped around his body, my hips came up to meet his, my fingers tangled somewhere in his neck.
I sucked my lower lip between my teeth to keep from letting out a sound, hearing only Edward's intermittent breathing.
Or was it the rush of my blood in my ears?
Pulsating waves emanating from my center flowed through my limbs and the next thing I consciously perceived was a surprising twitching of my abdomen, over which I had no control.
Totally shocked, I wrenched my eyes open to look down at myself, bumping my forehead against his nose.
What was that? Was that possible?
Completely exhausted, I let myself sink back into the pillows, groaning, and a paralyzing surge of relaxation denied me even lifting my hand to rub over the aching spot on my head for the first moment.
Struggling heavily for oxygen, I realized that I had just ruined the experience of my first orgasm for myself.
Edward lay down next to me, pulled me into his arms and pressed his cold lips under my hairline.
His hands stroked over my skin, which, as I thereby became aware, was covered with sweat, but I didn't care at that moment. Quite marginally I registered still in my subconscious that I had quite selfishly not even made sure whether he had come at all.
But I had absolutely no energy left for that and smiling gratefully I quickly drifted off into a deep restful sleep.
Thank you for reading!
